Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 10: Storm is coming, Julu Storm

No matter how powerful any dynasty is, there will always be rebellious forces in the dark. This is not because the country is strong or the monarch is wise, but because human ambitions are endless.

If the country is strong, those forces will naturally continue to lie dormant and dare not act rashly;

But if the national power declines, under the impetus of ambitious people, villain forces will emerge one after another like mushrooms after rain.

But unfortunately, the Emperor Xia was extremely incompetent, and the Great Xia was already on the decline. Naturally, the princes all had their own ulterior motives.

It has been more than a hundred years since Daxia established its rule over the continent, and the number of people killed has exceeded millions.

Not only enemies but also many of the Great Xia Dynasty's own people died under the ruthless iron hoof.

Although killing can bring temporary peace, it will leave trouble for future generations, and hatred will not disappear.

Although there are many anti-Xia forces in the world, their strength is too dispersed and of uneven quality. Although it brings great trouble to Daxia, it cannot shake its foundation.

In addition to those princes, there was a group that was suddenly expanding. Countless poor people formed a sect, which grew into a behemoth in just over a decade, called the Taiping Sect!

The leader of the Taiping Sect, Zhang Jiao, is the chosen one, who gathered the power of the people into a rope and dealt a fatal blow to the dead tree of Daxia!
Under the leadership of Zhang Jue, the Taiping Sect has developed into one of the largest sects in the Great Xia Dynasty, even surpassing traditional Taoist sects. It has countless believers in the territory of Great Xia and enjoys an excellent reputation among the people, and has been able to influence the normal operation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Taiping Sect grew and developed in the white way. It was not an ordinary martial arts organization, nor did it focus on fighting in the martial arts world, but rather on fighting for imperial hegemony.

In the underworld, the Taiping Sect was even more powerful and had won over most of the anti-Xia forces. As long as Zhang Jue gave an order, except for the Youzhou Sect under the jurisdiction of the Zhenbei Palace, the other fourteen Sects would respond from all sides and raise the banner of rebellion.

However, Zhang Jue did not take any action for a long time. He was waiting for a perfect opportunity. That opportunity might be when Emperor Xia was in chaos. In short, he, Zhang Jue, would definitely overturn the Great Xia Dynasty, a country that was corrupt to its foundation!
Now, the time he wanted has arrived.

Daxia Dynasty, Jizhou Road.

Between the vast mountains.

In a cave filled with fairy air.

I saw an old Taoist with blue eyes and a childlike face slowly opening his eyes, and in an instant, a gleam of brilliance flashed by.

The old Taoist held a staff in his hand, looked like an immortal, and wore a headband that tied up his white hair.

He has white beard and white eyebrows, but his eyes are like stars, bright and dazzling, and his face is extremely rosy, smooth and delicate.

She has a graceful temperament and is as ethereal as a fairy.

This person was none other than the Taoist immortal Nanhua who taught Zhang Jiaoshu.

“Someone come.

The Taoist priest opened his mouth slowly and called out to the outside of the cave.

Soon, a boy in green came in and bowed, "Greetings, Master."

"Send someone to Julu City to meet Zhang Jiao and tell him that it is time."

A storm that started from Julu City swept across the entire world in an instant.

a few days later.

Great Xia Dynasty, Jizhou Road, Julu City.

The city wall, which is more than ten meters high, has begun to crumble due to the continuous erosion of heavy rains in recent days.

However, this crumbling city wall is the last refuge for the people of Julu City.

At this moment, the four walls of Julu City were already filled with people, and it was almost a situation where people were squeezing and stepping on each other.

Those who failed to climb the city walls were either drowned in the flood or could only swim desperately and struggle hard in the flood.

Outside the four city walls, due to the Huai River bursting its dike, the flood had reached a height of several feet and was constantly impacting the four walls of Julu City.

It seemed that if this continued, the four walls of Julu City would collapse, and the people of Julu City would have no place to hide from the disaster.

Roar!Roar!Roar!
When it rains, it pours, leaving no room for respite.

Along with the flood, pirates in the Huai River were rampant.

For these pirates, there is nothing more satisfying than robbing women and treasures.

When the people of Julu City saw these pirates rushing towards them with fierce and murderous intent, their faces changed drastically, and some women and children were even so scared that they started crying.

Many of them were displaced and became refugees because of pirates. They certainly knew what would happen to them once Julu City was breached.

Moreover, these pirates are not ordinary pirates. From the terrifying aura on them, we can tell that they are people who kill without blinking an eye. No one knows how much blood of the people is on the hands of each of them.

By then, the entire Julu City will be doomed.

All the men were killed or taken as slaves!
The only fate for the woman is to be raped!
At this time, tens of thousands of troops stationed in Julu City had been transferred to quell the White Lotus Rebellion more than ten days ago.

Therefore, the current Julu City is like a toothless tiger, and it has little basic strength left to resist pirates.

They could only watch helplessly as the pirates slaughtered the civilians trapped in the flood.

On the city wall, a middle-aged man with a dusty face and wearing a worn-out official uniform looked at the muddy flood water inside and outside the city gradually turning red, with blood splattering on the water surface like free money. He clenched his fists and roared in anger: "Damn beasts!"

"Lord City Lord, hasn't His Majesty sent an army to capture and kill the pirates yet?"

The middle-aged man was none other than the most important official in charge of government affairs in Julu City, the city lord Li Xiang.

The person standing behind him and asking questions was Julu City Lord General Zhang Xiangyang.

Looking back at Zhang Xiangyang, whose eyes were bloodshot, Li Xiang shook his head in disappointment without saying much.

"Oh, maybe, in the eyes of the governor or even His Majesty, we are all insignificant pariahs?"

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhang Xiangyang had already found the answer from Li Xiang's expression.

"Xiangyang, be careful with your words."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang immediately shouted loudly.

"Lord City Lord, it's already this late, what are you still afraid of?"

"You and I both know that this wall won't last long."

Once the city wall collapses, you and I will become food for these pirates."

"Your Excellency, the Governor and Your Majesty, will not care about our lives."

"We're fucked."

Zhang Xiangyang knelt dejectedly on the ground, his eyes dim and without a trace of light.

Of these two, Li Xiang is just a scholar, and Zhang Xiangyang does not have a high talent for martial arts, but he only has top-notch martial arts skills.

Once they lost the protection of the city walls, they would surely die in the flood and face the siege of pirates.

yes."

"We are all going to die. I'm afraid the Great Xia Dynasty will soon be over."

"His Majesty said that we are all pariahs, and Daxia will never send anyone to save us pariahs."

After listening to what Zhang Xiangyang said, Li Xiang seemed to let out his last breath.

The whole person collapsed to the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"Today is the year of peace!"

Suddenly, a loud shout resounded through the sky.

He stood up suddenly, and both Li Xiang and Zhang Xiangyang were shocked.

This voice seemed to have a mysterious magic, allowing them to see a ray of hope at that moment.

Look up.

Just then, a Taoist priest with a kind face, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, a yellow scarf on his head, holding a nine-section staff, appeared in the city at some point.

The Taoist priest was standing there, yet he seemed not to be there.

The Taoist's eyes were a deep blue, with a hint of compassion.
