Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 646 Great West
Not long after the victory celebration, Taotie chose to return to the Jambudvipa Crown to make various preparations for the event.

As the leader of this challenging salvage operation, Three-Eyes Global specifically requested a tiered conference room in its office building to accommodate the rope-making team and elite personnel from various departments.

"The fruits of the Bingzi axis are prone to encountering unknown mysteries. Among all the stem-branch axes, it is also one of the types that has been explored and developed less. The 27th of Bingzi is one of the most difficult to explore. There are many things to prepare, and it is almost impossible to prepare everything at once. Fortunately, I am here to oversee things. Second brother, whatever you need, I will prepare it here and then share it through the personal imprint space."

Lu Wu looked at Taotie, and the scene from his perspective was projected onto the screen in the center of the conference room through soul empathy.

“Well, Renni, don’t be nervous. This time I won’t go through the root passage.”

After listening to Lu Wu's instructions, Taotie nodded, patted Ren Ni on the shoulder, and immediately activated its divine travel ability.

Specified fruit: Feather branch, Bingzi axis, Sequence 27!
To avoid alerting the crazed and bizarre Heavenly Dao to his arrival, Qin Huai ultimately decided against using the root channel and instead employed a more unique method of divine travel to enter the fruit.

When traveling in Jambudvipa, please be sure to pay attention to the following points:

This fruit does not exist in a physical ninja world!

[This incident at Jambudvipa will not be counted towards the travel experience event count.]

[The exploration progress of this fruit is less than 1%. Any action you take could be fatal. Please be extremely careful!]

[The demonic influence on this fruit is extremely dangerous; even the exclusive ninja soil cannot resist its corrosive effects. Your fleeting glimpse will be disabled!]

"Sizzle~ Sizzle..."

After the noise subsided, swallowed by darkness, the feeling of weightlessness as his body plummeted swept over him once more. Qin Huai skillfully glided past the green bronze palace floating on the azure plasma ocean, following the massive chain extending from the mother crown, engraved with "Feather·Bingzi," and finally saw the unusually large amber-colored bubble.
The world turned upside down.

"The Great Western Slaughter Division is escorting the Hundred Lotus Demon to the execution ground at Caishikou for execution. Get out of the way immediately!"

Before the words had even finished, Qin Huai felt his head, neck, hands, and feet being tightly bound by heavy shackles. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a swaying prison cart, with a light drizzle shrouding the long street at dusk.

"Huh? Why is this counterpart so unlucky?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Huai caught sight of a sparse, pale-faced crowd on the street. His gaze shifted to the area around the prison carts, where he noticed dozens of fierce soldiers in military uniforms wielding knives, exuding a menacing aura. Inside the five prison carts were a dozen or so young prisoners, shackled, dressed in dirty, blood-stained clothes, and covered in wounds.

Directly in front of the prisoner transport team was a heavily armored cavalry general carrying a giant spear and riding a tall horse.

At the very back were several horse-drawn carriages used to transport the corpses.

The procession cleared the way with gongs and drums, creating a lively scene. The sparse crowd immediately gathered around, and even people from further away came to join them.

A light drizzle fell on the armor of the soldiers standing before the Qinhuai River, its flow meandering through the water.

Time: 1700

Location: Xi'an, 30 degrees North latitude, 102 degrees East longitude.

In 1626, a massive earthquake struck Yanjing, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crumble. The dragon veins wept blood, and strange changes began to appear.

In the years that followed, a steady stream of evil spirits, strange phenomena, demons, licentious rituals, and unorthodox religions appeared on the vast land of China.

All sorts of incredible things became commonplace, and sects and organizations that used evil and strange powers for cultivation experienced an explosive growth.

The struggle for supremacy among the Great Western, Great Shun, Southern Ming, and Northern Qing dynasties was extremely fierce.

Demonic influence, desire, and ambition permeated China; coal, steel, and smoke transformed Europe and the relationship between East and West.

A mad heavenly order, an abnormal history, burgeoning steam machinery, bloodthirsty and fanatical cultists, and an unknown, immense terror.

Mechanical creations, a myriad of forms, war puppets with the power to destroy mountains.

Blood Asura, Jade Bodhisattva, Compassionate Corpse Granny, Boundless Venerable, Fierce Flame King
This is a turbid and evil world where mortals struggle to survive, and can only barely survive by embracing demonic influence.

And the corrupting influence of the celestial beings on the human world has never ceased!
The requirements for this incident at Jambudvipa are as follows:

[Find and save Ye Zifan, the wandering Di Ting of Yama!]

Note: If you encounter any tricky but not fatal danger, you can temporarily escape into the dream world; it may be the only truly safe place for this fruit. (Left by Cao Yuanchao)

Qin Huai raised an eyebrow, sensing something unusual in this note.

You gain a special skill, Smooth Talk (Deception), by 70% during this Jambudvipa event. This skill will be forgotten after the event ends, or you can spend 1400 Jambudvipa Points to permanently obtain it.

Due to the overlap effect, your status has been elevated in this Yanfu incident.

Your current identity is: Leader of the Qingcha Sect of the Fragrance Altar of the Great Western Hundred Lotus Sect, [Bitter Tea Master]

Immediately afterwards, everything went black before Qin Huai's eyes, and he was transported into the original owner's perspective and memories.

"The Great Western King was misled by sorcery, failing to understand the absurdity of the verses, and blindly believing in the existence of the celestial bodies. He led his troops and bandits to raid the land and exterminate his faction. Based in the Western Capital, he spread to Sichuan. Once the sorcery was spread, his evil schemes were realized. He burned down cities and slaughtered innocent people, causing immense suffering to all living beings!"

"The Bitter Tea Taoist possesses great supernatural powers, including the ability to easily revive the dead, the ability to transform into innate birds, and the skill to kill with flying swords. He also possesses knowledge of the Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, human physiognomy, past, present, future, good and bad fortune, calamity and retribution, etc."

"The mud originates from chaos! The appearance of a hundred lotuses is a magnificent event!"

"A hundred lotuses descend to earth! The people are liberated!"

"Maitreya is born! The Wisdom King is born!"

"The Eternal Mother! The Vacuum Homeland!"

Qin Huai stood on a huge stone platform, surrounded by smooth walls painted with murals. Among the murals, lotus flowers of various colors bloomed on the dark water, seemingly swaying in the wind.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were actually thousands of lotus-shaped oil lamps embedded in the stone wall, their flickering flames illuminating the empty, dark cave.

Qin Huai looked ahead and saw a large group of believers dressed in plain white clothes with fanatical expressions kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to themselves and the huge blue lotus bud behind them, chanting the unique prayers and incantations of the Hundred Lotus Sect.

"Bitter tea seed, clear tea sect, because tea is green, is it the green lotus among all lotuses?"

Qin Huai's heart stirred, and he used the memories to observe his surroundings, but he did not sense any obvious signs of extraordinary abilities.

Boom boom boom——

Suddenly, a rumbling tremor resounded from the underground grotto. The white-robed cultists were overjoyed and knelt down, their foreheads touching the ground, shouting in unison, "The Azure Lotus has descended! The Azure Lotus has descended!" Ku Chazi turned around, and the enormous, budding Azure Lotus had already grown a dense, transparent root system, connecting with the tops of the heads of many white-robed cultists, sucking up the red and white liquid.

It's not simply brain matter and blood, but something more abstract.

Perhaps it's fate, or perhaps it's lifespan.

The next instant, a radiant blue light illuminated his eyes, and the enormous blue lotus was about to fully bloom.

Just then, the outer door of the underground cave exploded open, and a group of fierce and valiant soldiers, fully armed and ready for battle, led by the heavily armored cavalry general, charged in!
"You've destroyed my sect! You're courting death!"

Ku Chazi roared, and a green light surged beneath his green robe: "Fragrant tea breeze, a hundred lotuses emerge!"

Thousands of lotus blossoms, seemingly real, bloomed in succession, surging like a raging tide towards the Great Western Army that was cutting down mountains and destroying temples.

"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing?"

The heavily armored cavalry general sneered and casually swung his giant spear. The cold spearhead instantly swept through the flower tide, severing the countless roots that grew from the giant blue lotus in one strike!

Ku Chazi's resistance was instantly shattered, and the entire underground cavern was pierced by the heavy armored cavalry general's spear, with several huge cracks breaking open at the base of the green lotus!

Watching the Great Western Army swiftly subdue the Qingcha Sect and handcuff the remaining members of the Hundred Lotus Cult, who were not yet completely wiped out, and put them into prison carts, Qin Huai, after reviewing the original owner's memories, pondered: "Military formations? Is this the original extraordinary system of this fruit?"

With his keen eyesight, even without the ability to use a fleeting glance, he could tell that the Great Western Army, which was destroying mountains and temples and capturing evil cultivators, was the elite of the elite. Most of them had the strength of an entry-level cultivator, and the leading cavalry general was comparable to the Nine Luminaries. The spear thrust he had used earlier, which was combined with the killing energy of the army formation, was at least at the Eight Extremes level.

Of course, in Qin Huai's eyes, no matter what tricks these native fruit growers might have up their sleeves, the result would be the same.

Just as Qin Huai was analyzing the current situation with limited information, the prison cart used for public humiliation slowly rolled along the wide road to the bustling entrance of the vegetable market.

The crowds surging along the street surrounded the execution ground. The executioners, wearing red armbands, had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw the prison cart arrive, they raised their gourds and drank the wine in one gulp.

"The Hundred Lotus Demon! Intending to rebel! His crimes are unforgivable! He deserves to be executed!!"

Looking at the crowd of people, the cavalry general threw down the blood-red token and coldly shouted. One after another, members of the Hundred Lotus Cult were dragged out of the prison cart and put on the rack.

Qin Huai's eyes flickered. Seeing that no one had come to take him yet, he was happy to remain still and silently looked down.

"Pfft~!"

A burst of strong liquor sprayed onto the broadsword. The burly executioner, dressed in coarse red hemp clothing and wearing a red turban, suddenly raised his sword high and brought it down with force. The large head, dripping with blood, rolled and fell to the ground.

Wisps of malevolent energy emanated from the splash of hot blood, merging into the demon-headed decapitation blade.

At the same time, the executioner's aura subtly strengthened.

"Does killing make you stronger?"

For some reason, Qin Huai inexplicably thought of the scarlet figure with various weapons stuck in its back, and the only connection between the three words "Blood Asura" and the hint from Yan Fu.

Soon, the executioner proceeded from east to west, beheading more than a dozen members of the Hundred Lotus Cult in turn.

"Guards, bring that culprit here! I'll carry out the execution myself!"

Glancing at the silent Qin Huai, the heavily armored cavalry general assumed that Ku Chazi was terrified and paid no attention. He immediately dismounted, drew a large, ghost-headed sword from the saddle rack, its sharp, menacing aura almost emanating from its body.

"Execution? I'm afraid even a Blood Asura couldn't kill me, Qin, with my body made of steel!"

Before the words were finished, the cavalry general's expression suddenly changed, and a gleaming blade flashed as he slashed out: "How dare you address Si Chen by his given name!!!"

Heads fell to the ground, blood splattered on the yellow earth.

Qin Huai grabbed the ghost-headed broadsword that the headless corpse was slashing at him with one hand, and with a light exhale of his Qi, he swept it through the inside, instantly analyzing it thoroughly and sensing a familiar yet completely different power within it.

"The one who represents slaughter, Blood Asura, I'll use you as my breakthrough point this time!"

Thinking of this, Qin Huai's mind stirred, and a powerful and majestic azure energy surged out from his body, transforming into a huge azure lotus that covered the entire execution ground. He himself disappeared like a dream, vanishing with the wind.

[Ninth-Tier Moment - 512x Speed]!
With Qin Huai's current initial speed, after accelerating by 512 times, it's practically the same as teleporting. Even if there are obstacles along the way, he can use his terrifying reflexes to avoid and adjust in advance. To ordinary people, it's exactly the same as disappearing into thin air.

"Oh no! The lord has been assassinated by the Hundred Lotus Demon Thief!"

It wasn't until the headless corpse of the cavalryman crashed to the ground that everyone present snapped out of their daze. They stared in horror at the enormous blue lotus blooming in mid-air. The well-trained elite soldiers quickly gathered together, ready for battle, completely ignoring the ordinary people who were running away, pushing and trampling each other.

Whoosh! Bang!
As a soldier fired a flare, which pierced the sky with an extremely sharp whistling sound, many capable individuals who sensed the anomaly at the execution ground rushed from all over the vast city of Xijing, surrounding the blazing blue lotus with extremely solemn expressions.

Qin Huai, who had just killed a cavalry general in the street and used his Qi to transform into the giant blue lotus in Ku Cha Zi's memory, was hidden to the side, silently observing the development of the situation.

His purpose was simple: to use this attempt to cover up the truth to further determine the relationship between Da Xi and the Hundred Lotus Sect.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin!"

"Your Highness, Prince Jin!"

As the soldiers shouted in unison, Qin Huai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of close attendants with blood-red longswords at their waists riding towards them, standing closely beside a tall general.

This man was very tall, his body size was a size larger than the people around him, he wore a phoenix-winged helmet, black gold armor, and a twelve-foot-long crimson broadsword in his hand with its sharp edge fully exposed.

Just by standing there, the murderous aura emanating from him surged stronger and stronger. Even Qin Huai, hidden in the shadows, could clearly sense the man's formidable strength.

'Planning to investigate the anomaly by releasing malevolent energy? This Prince Jin is no simpleton.'

In an instant, Qin Huai, also a master of the battlefield, discerned the man's intentions. He transformed his True Qi into a similarly fluctuating aura, perfectly concealing the man's hiding place.

"That Hundred Lotus Demon who harmed Yuan Er has already escaped. This thing has nothing to do with [Lotus Treasure]; it was just a smokescreen to provoke the Great Western Regions. Oh no! It's a diversionary tactic. Quickly, come back to camp with me!"

With a single slash, the enormous, empty blue lotus phantom was shattered. Li Dingguo, the King of the Western Jin Dynasty, who had not noticed anything amiss, seemed to have made a connection to something. His tone changed slightly, and his red horse reared up and neighed, leading his close-combat entourage directly towards the military camp outside the city.

"There is indeed something fishy!"

Qin Huai's eyes flickered, and he followed at a leisurely pace.
