Chapter 609: Flooding the Land and Intensifying Conflicts

One of the six states in the north, Haiming State was submerged by the sea, causing countless deaths.

When the news of this disaster reached the provincial capital, it caused a huge uproar and a big event happened.

Haiming Province is close to the sea and has a long coastline as its border. Although it suffers from tsunamis every year that damage crops and farmland, its territory remains intact, like a nail embedded in the seashore.

The landform formed over millions of years forms the balance point between land and sea and cannot be submerged easily.

However, this unprecedented natural disaster happened.

I heard that the sea water was flooding back, the sky was collapsing and the earth was breaking apart, and the thousand-meter-high waves were rushing in front of you like a galloping horse. Even a martial artist could not withstand it. He would either be killed by the waves or be swept into the sea and become a floating corpse.

Although the wall built by Di Zong blocked the invasion of sea water, the residents in the city were swept away by the rising tide and countless people drowned.

Rivers, canals and other routes were flooded and polluted by seawater, and many large marine beasts invaded.

The result is that after the sea water receded, half of Cangjizhou was exposed on land, and the other half was buried deep under the water, becoming a paradise for fish and shrimp.

Unlike the previous fall of cities one after another, Haiming Province was the first province to suffer a large-scale natural disaster.

"There was a sudden change overseas, the tides rose and fell unpredictably, and the islands that we could have lived on were destroyed, leaving us with nowhere to stay."

"The warriors at sea were forced to move back to land. They spent all their money to build the Thousand Faces Hall just to serve as a vanguard."

"This time we dealt with Du Taiyue because the environment was deteriorating and we had no choice but to take action to grab living space."

The truth is revealed!
It was as if the ocean suddenly became violent and irregular, with waves raging everywhere, often easily reaching heights of thousands or tens of thousands of meters, and an island could be easily smashed to pieces.

Some of the huge ships built by maritime nations could not survive the endless waves and were eventually smashed into pieces, with all the survivors on board being eaten by fish.

The capricious ocean climate is far less safe than the land, so migration becomes inevitable.

"The environment in the north has further deteriorated, and the fertility rate of the witch tribe has declined."

"Hu Tiannu has found other leaders and called for a full-scale invasion of the Central Plains and to search for boundary markers throughout the North."

To make matters worse, the witch, who had just been quiet for a while, started making trouble again.

It turned out that another reason for the witches' invasion was that the already barren northern border was deteriorating and could not accommodate the survival of countless tribes, so that the witches' reproduction rhythm was interrupted.

This time the other party is serious.

Hu Tiannu is a wizard master at the Tianzong level, and his status is even higher than that of a mansion lord. The scale of this mobilization is not only aimed at the eighteen prefectures of Beixuanzhou, but also affects the other two states.

For a time, the six northern states were in flames and crises everywhere.

There was chaos in the capital city, with people hoarding and buying food everywhere.

Shops and martial arts schools all closed down one after another, and began to prepare for the impending chaos.

As for the Fucheng Martial Arts Association, since there is no leader after Yanshan's promotion, they have proposed to elect a president many times.

All forces are vying for this position, using every possible means, including recruiting people, visiting, and bribing.

Originally, Zhou You was also one of the candidates, but he didn't want to join in the fun and announced his withdrawal.

As a result, the big martial arts hall became a hot commodity, and all parties wanted to win over Zhou You to support themselves.

Seeing that a war is about to begin, we can't continue to be deadlocked indefinitely...

"Ahem, after being recommended by all parties in the martial arts community, the new president is..."

"The owner of Qili Martial Arts School, Li Qixiu."

Li Qixiu, a senior martial artist, was born in Wanxiu Mountain. He was one of the "Zhongxiu" in his time and was qualified to have the word "xiu" in his name as a martial artist. This is equivalent to a general from Dayin Mountain opening a martial arts school after retirement.

As mentioned before, because they are close to the water and have the advantage of being the first to see the moon, most of the martial arts schools in the city are branches of Dayin Mountain and Wanxiu Mountain, which are the two most powerful groups.

Yanshan is a Vajra descendant, but his family has accumulated knowledge for generations, and this rare martial arts genius happened to be the best among his peers, and won the position of the president of the martial arts guild in one fell swoop.

Ever since Yan Shan was promoted and his successor Yan Wanjun was expelled, Overlord Martial Arts School has been without a successor.

After several rounds of competition, the position of president fell into the hands of Wan Xiushan's camp.

Li Qixiu stood up and bowed to the people around him, "Thank you for your kindness, my colleagues. I will definitely live up to your expectations and serve you all."

He subconsciously glanced in Zhou You's direction and thought to himself that he was lucky. If Zhou You and Hu Quan hadn't been in such a bad relationship, he might not have been able to sit in the position of president today.

Wanxiu Mountain and Dayin Mountain were originally evenly matched. Zhou You's Daqian Martial Arts School was connected to several powerful martial arts schools such as Pei Li, Qin Lie, and Yang Kuoqiong, and was considered a rising force.

It is no exaggeration to say that whichever side Zhou You chooses to support will win.

In the end, Wan Xiushan's side had the upper hand. Although they failed to win over Zhou You, they were not like the Tiger Fist lineage who had a grudge against him and had already fallen out with him.

Li Qixiu made up his mind to spend more time with Zhou You and get closer to him in the future.

The new president had barely even warmed his seat when he heard shocking news.

"The Qianmiantang, led by Chi Ri Qianli, sneaked into the Wandu Secret Workshop last night and is fighting with Du Taiyue."

What? The war started so quickly?

Zhou You knew very well that Haimingzhou was originally the base camp of the sea warriors on land, and they infiltrated inland through the local area.

Today, half of Haiming Province is flooded and all the buildings on land are destroyed. The sea warriors will have to move further inland. Qianmiantang must use thunder-like means to eliminate Du Taiyue and seize the market of Wandu Secret Shop.

This is a battle of life and death.

"President, how should we respond?"

Someone mentioned, "How many innocent people did Fu Manlun kill when he entered the city? Which martial arts school hasn't had people poisoned to death? We can't just let go of the blood feud like this."

"Cough cough!"

Li Qixiu encountered a big problem as soon as he came to the stage. It was not difficult to have a tough attitude, but the difficult part was what to do next?
Do we really have to fight with the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop?
He suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Hasn't the opportunity come yet? A righteous man will have many supporters, while an unrighteous man will have few. Du Taiyue has gone against the grain and now he has reached his doom."

"We can't miss this city's martial arts event, but the situation is still unclear, so we should send someone to observe first."

Last time, Qianmiantang killed Yu and returned, there is no guarantee that they will not repeat the same mistake this time.

He was cunning and ruthless, and refused to express his opinion, and took the cold approach despite the pressure from everyone.

After all, the battle between Chi Ri Qianli and Du Taiyue was at the highest level of martial arts, and even if a martial artist went there, it would be of no use.

What Li Qixiu said was not without reason, but some martial artists also thought that once the giant Wan Du Secret Shop fell, even if they could only eat the minced meat from its corpse, it would still be a lot of money.

After the meeting, many martial arts masters either sent their trusted subordinates or rushed there in person, and they were all gone in an instant.

"Master Zhou, aren't you going to join in the fun?"

Pei Li asked him with a smile.

"No, go home and sleep."

With Lu Zhigang at the Wan Du Secret Shop, is it necessary for me to take action myself?
