Start from Wusheng

Chapter 517 Going Home
Thick smoke rose from a ruined village. It was not the smoke from campfires, but the flames from burning corpses.

The Buddhist eulogy was heard in the wind, faintly and indistinctly.

"Master, the area covered by the battlefield has not been completely cleared. There are still many villages and towns where people live."

"The witches came and took away all the supplies. The living people were reduced to slaves and razed to the ground. Even if they encountered warriors..."

Zuo Lu and the other man whispered to Zhou You about the situation.

It turned out that the warriors did not do anything good. In order to replenish supplies, they plundered food and medicinal materials on a large scale.

Many villages and towns were destroyed and turned into complete death places.

After this great war, it is probably difficult to see living people in the nearby area, but there are more and more wild beasts.

Zhou You didn't think so. He had the experience of Zhoujia Village and knew that the people there were as tenacious as weeds. There were thriving and hidden caves underground in the mountains for storing food and hiding from war.

It seemed that the vast land was empty, but after the warriors and wizards evacuated, the survivors who were hiding appeared one after another like weeds breaking through the ground.

"The belief in Buddhism is becoming more and more prosperous."

The bodies burned in the village were those of the warriors who died in this battle. After the battle, their companions collected the remains, cut down large trees, and removed the beams of dilapidated houses for a solemn cremation.

Zhou You noticed that the cremation ceremony of Buddhism was very simple for common people, but it was different for martial artists of status.

Various gold objects were offered on the scene, and the corpses were smeared with various spices and gold paint, wrapped in silk and burned in the fire.

"In times of chaos, human life is fragile. Too many deaths can easily lead to plagues. The Shi Shen Sect's pyrotechnic team is very popular."

Qin Lie said with emotion, “Some time ago, the white-robed priest from the Southern Hall of the Shi Shen Sect paid a visit to the Lord of the Mansion and introduced the doctrine to him.”

"Although the Lord of the Prefecture did not believe in religion, he promised that the Buddhists could move freely in the prefecture city and would be responsible for collecting and burning the dead bodies."

"Since then, there have been more and more martial artists and nobles in the city who believe in Buddhism."

Well, the Shi Shen Sect has grown stronger, and now it seems that there are no hidden dangers, but over time...

Zhou You knew that the Buddhist God Sect and the Golden Immortal Sect were both passed down from ancient times, and no one would believe that they had no ambitions for the world.

Even the Lord of the Mansion did not stop them, so these folk martial artists had no right to comment.

"Don't be fooled by the simple white clothes of the Buddhists. Their rituals require gold, jade, and precious stones, and are extremely extravagant."

"It is said that after a god dies, his blood turns into jade and gems, while his flesh turns into gold. All the rare treasures in the world are transformed from the bodies of gods. Offering gold and jade can please the gods."

Zhou You, Qin Lie and others talked as they walked. The village was left behind and turned into a black dot, and thick smoke was still rising into the sky.

"Brother Zhou, we parted before, and I didn't expect to see each other again."

Pei Li's voice was heard not far away. Beside him were martial artists from other martial arts schools, who were gathering here from another direction.

This area is the meeting point designated by Yanshan. No matter where the Fucheng Wuxing is, they must hurry there.

"Look, it's someone from Overlord Martial Arts School."

Warriors from Overlord Martial Arts School arrived one after another. After Yanshan left alone, they dispersed to fight in various places. Now they were summoned and came one after another.

The most eye-catching ones are the Little Overlord Yan Wanjun and other martial artists of his uncle's generation. Many familiar faces have disappeared, and those who are still alive are all injured, and some are even missing parts of their bodies.

However, no one dared to look down on them.

Everyone knew that Yanshan, the master of Overlord Martial Arts School, had already reached the first level of powerful martial arts. From now on, Yanshan was no longer on the same level as them.

There are even rumors that Qiangwu has the qualifications to establish a sect. Whether Overlord Martial Arts School will be upgraded to a sect in the future, no one can say for sure!
"Master Zhou, congratulations. I heard that you challenged Gaoyang Ruoqiang, killed many wizard geniuses, and escaped unscathed."

Pei Li congratulated him after meeting him.

Then he saw two big hammers behind Zhou You, "What great weapons! Did you snatch them from the witch?"

It turns out that the witch clan's magic weapons are also very famous. The ancient magic weapons they left behind after retreating to the northern border are all fine products. Each magic weapon has a history and battle record, and they are by no means comparable to the magic weapons of qi and blood that everyone has.

The pair of hammers in Zhou You's hands, the hammer in his left hand is named "Gripping the Universe" and the hammer in his right hand is named "Heaven and Earth in One".

It is recorded in historical books that when the wizard fled, many warriors who were chasing him died under the two hammers.

Zhou You snatched it from the wizard, which was a proud act.

After the warriors from all directions met, various information was exchanged and summarized, and gradually, more and more eyes were focused on Zhou You.

He traveled around the Daqian Martial Arts Hall, killing at least three of the Ten Great Prodigies, participated in Liu Fengji's high-end battle without dying, and even continued to chase Gao Yang Ruoqiang after being separated from him and escaped unscathed, and also robbed a pair of ancient magic weapons from the Wu Clan.

Such an amazing record is comparable to the brave generals of Dayin Mountain, the elites of Jueguang Sect, and is even not inferior to the top sons of aristocratic families.

Among all the martial artists in the city, the only one who could overshadow Zhou You was Yanshan, who was a powerful warrior with extraordinary abilities in battle.

The Little Overlord Yan Wanjun was originally in great glory. He killed many wizard masters with his Overlord Spear. His master was an even more powerful warrior. He should have been treated like a star.

As a result, Zhou You took away most of the limelight.

"Young Master, he is a martial artist from a small martial arts school. He is like a meteor, rising fast and falling fast. There are countless martial arts schools of all sizes in the city, and they close and open countless times every year. He can't stay here for long if he just travels around for a week."

There were followers around to advise him.

Yan Wanjun glared at him and said, "What do you know? If he was a junior martial artist, it would be as you said, but Zhou You is now a mid-level martial artist, and he can't be defeated easily."

That's right, under Yan Shan's careful teaching, Yan Wanjun has become a mid-level martial artist at a young age. He can see at a glance that Zhou You has made a breakthrough in this battle and is no longer a small junior martial artist. He is now qualified to become the backbone of the martial arts world.

What made him angry was that he had the guidance of a master who was the best in the city's martial arts world, which was why he could reach such a level. How could Zhou You, a wild folk martial artist with a humble background, be on par with him?
In an instant, without his noticing, an emotion called jealousy arose from the tip of his heart.

……

A dark cloud floated into the sky, and suddenly a powerful aura enveloped the entire area, suppressing all the warriors present and making them unable to move.

A human figure broke through the clouds, dropped from the sky, and fell to the ground from a height of several thousand meters, causing the earth to shake and everyone to fall to the ground.

It’s a master of strong martial arts level, Yanshan is here.

After Yanshan landed, he pulled his feet out of the earth's crust with the help of the Overlord Pear. Yan Wanjun and the top leaders of the Overlord Martial Arts School surrounded him.

"Pass on the order of the Lord of the Prefecture. After the battle, retreat to the Prefecture City."

I can finally go home.

Zhou You exhaled, and then heard his own name, "Da Qian Martial Arts School Zhou You, come with me."

Yan Shan nodded to Zhou You and stopped Yan Wanjun who was following behind him, "You stay."

Everyone:...
