Witch Wind

Chapter 327: Western Chu Storm (Part )

Dozens of blue moons condensed out of thin air, relying on the infinite magic power of the offspring of the World Mother Tree, hung high in the sky.

The big one is as big as a house, the small one is as big as a wheel, they are crystal clear and smooth, like glass ice.

Dozens of blue moons illuminated the jungle, creating a wonderful shadowless lamp effect. No matter it was the flowers, trees, birds, animals, or even the people of Xingye and Xingyue walking in the jungle, all of them had no shadows.

The same was naturally true for Xiang Liang.

He was bathed in the moonlight, quietly moving through the moonlight that was as thick as water, and even had a slight resistance when moving forward. He was not used to such moonlight, even though he had lived in such moonlight for many years.

Many years.

How many years is it exactly?
Xiang Liang curled his lips and spat a mouthful of thick saliva onto the flowery jungle grass.

These beautiful sons of the jungle, who claimed to be the handsome men and beautiful women favored by the sun, moon, stars and all natural elements, had dark hearts. Xiang Liang vaguely remembered that he was seriously injured after a fierce battle, and these sons of the jungle took the initiative to request that he be kept in the core of their tribe to be nurtured and healed by the power of the Mother Tree of the World.

Then, he inexplicably lost contact with his people.

His tribesmen went away with the saints, but he was left alone in the territory of these alien races. He slept in the sticky and wet secretions of the World Mother Tree for an unknown amount of time before he was awakened.

What else can be done?

After soaking in the sap of the World Mother Tree for too long, he has inexplicably developed a subtle connection with the world of that dimension. He even had the urge to look for his own people again and again, but was repeatedly dispelled by the inexplicable connection.

He stayed in the tribe of Starry Night and Starry Moon. He fell in love with a very beautiful girl and then had an affair with her.

"Ah, bah! I must have been possessed by an evil spirit." Xiang Liang told himself with certainty that he was definitely possessed by an evil spirit - as the leader of the great uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, a hegemonic figure who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to capture cities and strongholds, how could a mere beauty shake his iron-blooded heart?

He must have been infected.

He fell in love with the girl and accidentally left behind a line of mixed-race descendants.

After that, he had no clear memory of what happened.

When he was awakened from the coffin again, Xiang Liang was completely devastated - damn it, he actually returned to Tailan Star, back to the forward base where the Xiang family followed the saint, swore to raise an army, and conquer the heavens.

Ah, Tailanxing...

The spatial dimensions are different, and the speed of time flow is different. Here on Tailan Star, perhaps only 18 million years have passed?

But for Xiang Liang, the word "Tailan" was already a nearly obliterated remnant of history. In his memory, he had spent more than 100 million years fighting for the children of the jungle in the dimension of the Mother Tree alone...

Xiang Liang shuddered.

He somewhat understood what "the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions" meant, and why those saints always looked so indifferent and indifferent - time was really too terrible, especially after crossing one spatial dimension after another, passing through one different world after another, and experiencing such a long time...

The vast majority of memories are useless and should be cut off.

So, just cut it off.

Those love affairs, those times under the moonlight, and even those mixed-race descendants he left in this tribe... Xiang Liang silently recited the "Love-Cutting Spell" learned from a great quasi-saint from the inner sect of Jin'ao Island. As a result, the chaotic thoughts in his mind were eliminated one after another, and his state of mind became exceptionally clear and cold, like an eternal glacier.

He moved naturally through the jungle.

From all directions, many various magical creatures, such as tree men, straw men, flower men, etc., who had been cast into strange spells by the sons of the jungle, bowed their heads in awe to Xiang Liang, and none of them made a sound.

Xiang Liang and his replica combat puppets are born exactly alike. These clones are born with the combat power of a perfect earthly immortal. They play an extremely important role in the Xingye and Xingyue tribes. These demonized creatures know this very well. If it weren't for those fearless and successive clone combat puppets that resisted those terrible mechanical monsters over the years, the entire tribe would have been destroyed ten thousand times over.

Xiang Liang looked exactly like them, so it was impossible for them to stop or warn Xiang Liang of any action he might take.

In particular, there is a tremendous natural force entangled in Xiang Liang's body.

It was the motherhood of a high priest who was devoted and loved Xiang Liang to death. She used her own life and soul to bestow the "natural protection" on Xiang Liang. With this mark, whenever Xiang Liang walked in the power radiation area of ​​the Mother Tree of the World, all the children of the jungle, and even their vassal tribes, would look up to him.

A motherhood at the level of a high priest, sacrificing everything she has to bless him!

Xiang Liang moved through the jungle very smoothly and fluently. Wherever he passed, fireflies even flew up from the grass, floated around him, singing and dancing around him, fearing that he would be too lonely along the way.

Xiang Liang remained silent and went straight to the core of the jungle.

Next to a small lake that looks like a crescent moon, dozens of exquisite wooden buildings are naturally built against giant trees that are more than ten meters thick. Countless vines hang down from the wooden buildings, which are covered with gorgeous flowers. Handsome men and beautiful women gather in groups of three or two. Even late at night, they do not fall asleep, but dance with swords and bows on the grass in front of the wooden buildings, or sit high on the roof and gently play the harp.

Xiang Liang stopped and his face twisted.

These men and women, in terms of blood, were all his descendants. Whether he was willing to admit it or not, as he had stimulated the blood of the witch clan and mastered some blood witchcraft, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of his blood in these men and women.

What a bastard!
Xiang Liang muttered in a low voice: "I am too ashamed to see my ancestors... Well, fortunately, they are all illegitimate children, right? Those little beasts at home don't have to worry about these half-blood illegitimate children robbing their property."

Xiang Liang blinked his eyes and scratched his face hard.

I haven’t seen them for many years... Are my children and grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren’s children and grandchildren still alive?
I don't know how much they have earned now... Well, I guess they don't mind having a group of blood relatives? It won't cost much to feed these children of the jungle, right?
Countless chaotic thoughts flashed through Xiang Liang's mind.

Two graceful and beautiful figures quietly came out from behind a dense clump of pink flowers and bowed to Xiang Liang with great joy: "Father..."

"Don't!" Xiang Liang waved his hands hastily. He looked at these two biological daughters who were clearly thousands of years old and had a large group of children and grandchildren, but whose appearance and temperament were no different from those of thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. He waved his hands hastily and said, "We'll talk about recognizing our ancestors later... I came back to find something."

Scratching his head hard, Xiang Liang muttered in a low voice: "I have almost forgotten many things. Back then, it seems that I gave that thing to your mother as a token of love? Cough, cough cough..."

Xiang Liang suddenly became furious. He pointed at his two beautiful daughters and growled in a low voice: "You bastards, the so-called parents' orders and matchmaker's words, who arranged your marriage when I was not here? How come you have so many sons and granddaughters? Where are your men? Pull them out, I will break all three of their legs!"

Xiang Liang was furious.

According to his status, his two daughters must be princesses and nobles... and they got married just like that? They gave birth to babies just like that? They have children and grandchildren just like that? Ugh!

A breath of anger rushed to his forehead. If it weren't for his own armor, halberd, and familiar warhorse, all of which were damaged in previous wars, and he hasn't found a suitable equipment refiner to repair them, nor has he been able to tame a suitable war beast mount - Xiang Liang really wanted to put on all his armor, ride on a mount, and pick off the tribe of Xingye and Xingyue.

All the women were slaves.

Men are just cannon fodder.

When Xiang Liang thought of the cruelty, his eyes could not help but swell with blood, and the terrible killing intent surged out like a tide. For a moment, the jungle within a radius of a hundred miles was completely silent, and all the insects stopped chirping. The captive war beasts crawled on the ground in fear, burying their heads deeply between their two claws.

The grass and trees parted to the left and right, a strong wind surged, and three replicas of Xiang Liang riding on red rabbit horses came running silently in the wind.

Xiang Liang became more and more angry.

Red rabbit horse?
asshole!

His aesthetic taste is not on Red Hare at all!
What he likes is the big Wuzhui, the Wuzhui horse... Tsk, his taste is the same as his nephew's. Everyone in the Xiang family likes Wuzhui horses. What's wrong with that?
Which guy left this Red Hare?
The three war puppets of the Earthly Immortal Realm had already raised the wooden halberds condensed from the World Tree's sub-body. They were about to launch an attack when they suddenly saw Xiang Liang's face and felt the surging blood in his body. So, these war puppets quietly jumped off their mounts, knelt on one knee, and bowed down to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang sneered and glanced at his two adopted daughters with disdain: "Your methods are still not enough... These guys used me... used... that's all... used the essence and blood of 'father' to replicate. But 'father' had colluded with a royal high priest of the Great Shang many years ago, and stimulated the blood with a witch pill from the ancient heaven."

"These copied war puppets, you are unable to erase the memories in their blood, they will be under my control forever!"

With his eyes flashing deeply, Xiang Liang said softly: "Father, I have something to tell you - think of a way to have your elders create more of these war puppets... Hey, father has a way to make these war puppets break through the realm of earthly immortals and reach the level of heavenly immortals, or even golden immortals!"

"Go and ask them for favors. You two need to raise your status in the clan. Then, when you really make a Golden Immortal-level war puppet, hey, this clan will be ruled by the old Xiang family."

Xiang Liang reached out his hand and patted his two daughters on the shoulders: "Do your best. How can the blood of the old Xiang family be inferior to others?"

Perhaps, it is really a blood inheritance?

After hearing what Xiang Liang said, the two daughters of Xiang Liang suddenly had a murderous look in their eyes, and the flames of ambition in their hearts surged. They silently saluted Xiang Liang, and with an inexplicable heat in their bodies, they led Xiang Liang to the hill behind their settlement.

On the back mountain, there is a very tall white flower tree that is extremely gorgeous.

The tree was as thick as four or five people could hold together, with a beautiful trunk and crown, dense branches and leaves, and white, glowing flowers. The two women, excited that Xiang Liang had finally acknowledged them and their children and grandchildren, brought Xiang Liang here, tremblingly worshipped the tree, danced around the trunk, and sang a very pleasant sacrificial song.

Gradually, members of their clan came over and started singing and dancing along with the two oldest grandmothers.

The tree trunk cracked, and a translucent wooden coffin quietly slid out.

Xiang Liang stroked the coffin, quietly looking at a set of black-bottomed dragon-patterned skirt in the coffin, which was in the typical style of the late Qin Dynasty, and sighed softly - his lover, after all, had no body left, and only a group of children and grandchildren built a cenotaph for her according to the customs of Kyushu in the previous life.

Fortunately, all the items he gave her were buried in this coffin.

Among them is a bronze round mirror with a diameter of one foot and two inches, a thickness of three inches, which is smooth and translucent, and has a square knob on the north side.

Xiang Liang took out the seemingly plain bronze mirror with a slightly dark color from the coffin, and with a flip of his right hand, a Chilong military token flew out from his fingertips. The three-inch square military token swayed in the wind and was compressed into a bead the size of a soybean, which was sucked into the big mouth of the mirror with a sound of "choke".

A low animal roar was heard faintly.

The air of the entire Great Barrier Reef continent suddenly had a sense of iron and blood. In the middle of the continent, the offspring of the mother tree of the world, which was born from the seeds brought by Xing Tianli, gently swayed its huge crown, and sprinkled clear light all over the sky, illuminating the entire continent.

Under the moonlight, they were playing and enjoying the peaceful and harmonious moonlit night. The beautiful starry night, Xingyue and others looked around in a little surprise.

The giant mother tree towered tall, and wisps of divine light seemed to illuminate the heaven and earth forever. In all directions, millions of tree people formed into a large formation did not issue any warnings... Well, the years are peaceful, so why not enjoy the good life to the fullest?

So Xingye and others continued to play music and dance.

Xingyue, with her feet up, lay on a soft couch made of flower vines, and boasted to Xingye and the many tribal leaders present at the scene in a delicate voice about how she had charmed the last king of the old Farus Kingdom with just a glance and made him treat her as his "illegitimate daughter" and bring her back to the palace to take care of him diligently.

All the women laughed and mocked the last king of the old Farus Kingdom, saying that he was indeed a 'stupid', 'incompetent' and 'useless man'... Among the clans of the Mother Tree of the World, clans dominated by motherhood, such as Xingye and Xingyue, occupied an absolute dominant position. Their attitude towards the opposite sex has always been like this.

slave.

cannon fodder.

A concubine used to entertain people when they are bored.

Necessary tools for reproduction.

That's all.

After laughing for a long time, Xingye suddenly became serious: "However, we must admit that among those pitiful and incompetent males, Lord Xing Tianli is a special case. He has been rewarded by the Supreme Lord, and he is completely different from those males. So, our attitude towards him..."

The women's eyes flickered.

Not to mention that Xing Tianli had received the reward from the Mother Tree of the World and possessed the qualifications to trade directly with the Mother Tree of the World, just Xing Tianli's personal combat power and the terrifying armed forces under his command were enough to easily wipe out their small tribe.

"The males are easy to deal with." A high priest whispered, "Choose the most outstanding women in the tribe and send them to him. If one is not enough, send ten. If ten are not enough, send a hundred. If a hundred are not enough, send a thousand... In the tribes where males are the masters, how many heroes, kings, and extraordinary warriors have been used by us in this way?"

Xingye nodded thoughtfully: "So, what kind of woman does he like? Who should I send over?"

For a moment, the eyes of many elders and priests flickered - if their juniors could trap Xing Tianli, then their status in the clan would be improved, but could the huge Tailan planet also be controlled by their authority?

Xiang Liang raised the bronze mirror.

After the military talisman was integrated into the treasure mirror, this quasi-saint-level spiritual treasure, forged by a certain saint's chief disciple, was activated. From all directions, wisps of primordial Qi surged silently but extremely rapidly, and were quickly swallowed by the treasure mirror.

After this mirror swallowed up the primordial Qi equivalent to the total magical power of one hundred standard Taiyi Golden Immortals in just a quarter of an hour, a gleam of light flickered on the mirror, and strange waves crossed the void, traveled through dimensions, and the void of extremely high dimensions, and quietly connected with a wave of the same source in a corner of the vast universe.

Skyscrapers.

Flying car.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, large airships shaped like seagulls with graceful bodies flew lightly across the clear void like colored glass with slight hissing sounds.

Occasionally, in a distant military base, accompanied by the extremely high-frequency hissing sound of high-energy steam engines, a row of propeller fighters would take off into the air with a defiant attitude, easily knocking out dozens of Mach loops and passing by at a speed more than ten times the speed of sound.

Amid the low sound of bells, a campus covered by greenery was bustling with people, and a group of two-headed, four-armed teenagers cheered and ran out of the classrooms. They ran wildly, quickly reaching a speed close to the speed of sound, with one step covering dozens of feet, waving their schoolbags made of woven wire, and happily rushed out of the school gate.

In the back alley of the campus, there was a dull thud, and Xiang Yu was roughly pressed against the wall by several of his classmates, who were heavily armed, much stronger than him, and about a foot and five inches taller than him.

"Xiang Yu, here, yesterday's protection fee is from yesterday."

"You ate yesterday, so you can skip it today?"

"Obviously, that's irrational."

"So, where's the protection fee today?"

Bang! A fist that was almost half the size of Xiang Yu's head hit Xiang Yu's cheek. Xiang Yu groaned, and the back of his head hit the solid volcanic ash concrete wall behind him. Stars flashed in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted from the pain.

"Ah, you are so weak, you are worthy of being the shame of the Western Chu Empire!"

"Hey, there is actually a stupid old scholar who claims that it was you weak Chu people who started our civilization and established the Western Chu Empire? Ugh, that's outrageous... How could you, as weak as you, do such a thing?"

Blood oozed from the corners of Xiang Yu's mouth. He gritted his teeth and suddenly froze.

In the palm of his left hand, a dim, deep green light appeared faintly.

A seal with a scaly head flashed across his palm, and a strange spatial signpost, following the mysterious waves, spread towards the extremely high and unpredictable low-dimensional void.
