Return of the Ancient Gods

The next morning, which was also the third day since Chu Nan and his friends returned to Yuncheng, everyone was preparing for the ancestor worship.

Everyone was busy from morning to night, in a tense and orderly manner, and the work lasted until the late night.

Northwest of Yuncheng,

The moon is hazy, the wind is blowing coldly, there is a lingering dew and a slight frost, and the shadows of the tall Qinglong trees are swaying.

At daybreak, the people of Yuncheng had already climbed up the towering Mount Nanjia with offerings, ready to offer sacrifices at the summit.

At this time, Mount Nanjia was brightly lit. Everyone held a torch in their hands. The flames circled from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, one after another, like a long dragon lying prone. The scene was spectacular.

Princess Jinyang and others walked at the front of the team with solemn expressions. When the first rays of morning sun shone on the earth, the ceremony officially began.

This ceremony is not only a way to remember the ancestors and pray for the coming year, but also a reminder for everyone in Yuncheng not to forget their mission and to recover the land:

Standing on the top of Mount Nanjia and looking north, although you cannot see the real hometown of the people of Yuncheng, the ancestors who founded Yuncheng and the descendants who inherited their will dare not forget it, so this custom came into being.

The time was almost up, but someone rushed up from the bottom of the mountain and reported the emergency:

A tide of beasts is coming from the west, and the situation is very strange.

"The beast tide is coming from the west? Zi Yan Mountains? How is this possible?" Upon hearing the news, Princess Jinyang was slightly startled, and when she looked down the mountain, she saw that it was indeed the case.

In this world where hundreds of races coexist, conflicts, fights, and killings are not surprising.

The arrival of the beast tide is indeed a big challenge. If we are not careful, our homes will be destroyed. However, it is only the beginning of spring, the time when all things reproduce, so it came a little too fast.

Moreover, there are special circumstances in this beast tide, which is intriguing.

"Are they here for the festival, or..." Chu Nan frowned. Having experienced so much, he immediately smelled a hint of something unusual.

Leaving a large army behind to maintain order in Nanjia Mountain, Princess Jinyang took Chu Nan and some guards tore through the void and came directly to the west gate.

Seeing these hundreds of thousands of monsters, most of which were level 4 or 5 spirit beasts, everyone's faces turned grim:

"There are a large number of them, and they are quite powerful. They seem to have fallen into a frenzy, and their strength is several times stronger than in normal state. The beast tide has formed, and it is not feasible to trap them with a formation. If we kill them directly, it is feasible, but..."

Chu Nan understood what his mother meant. If they killed these monsters, the alliance would be completely ruined.

"Not only that, the monsters would explode for no apparent reason, causing the loss of many of our brothers..."

"Frenzy, and self-destruction?" Chu Nan and Princess Jinyang frowned even more. They had no doubts in their minds and sincerely admired his ruthless methods.

And the beast tide must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise even if it is stopped, Yuncheng will be almost destroyed.

Everyone looked at Princess Jinyang, asking her for a decision, but they were greatly disappointed.

Chu Nan focused on the situation of the monsters under the city wall, and suddenly understood, and quickly said:

"Mother, wait a moment. Let me handle this. These monsters are poisoned and controlled by someone. As long as the poison is removed, everything will be solved naturally."

"..."

There were also many older people present who were knowledgeable and intelligent, but they did not see anything.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Just tell me if you need anything." Princess Jinyang glanced at Chu Nan and immediately agreed to let Chu Nan give it a try.

"Yes. I really need your help right now." Time was running out, so Chu Nan didn't hesitate.

"You want Qinglong wood? This matter really needs to be discussed with everyone." Princess Jinyang was embarrassed and looked troubled.

Qinglong wood is rumored to be a rare wood formed by the Qinglong sitting and transforming. Some say it is nourished by the dragon veins. There is no way to verify it. It is a tree species unique to Yuncheng.

Although the Qinglong wood is not rare, it is a precious tree that can bring good luck and happiness in the hearts of the people of Yuncheng. It is also the place where the souls of ancestors reside after death.

"Although the Qinglong wood is precious, it can solve the difficulties in Yuncheng. Isn't this the blessing of the precious tree for us? I think our ancestors will understand us."

"The Qinglong wood plus several other spiritual medicines, burned with the Phoenix Fire, can produce a special strong poisonous smoke, which can just dissolve the poison in the monsters outside." Chu Nan explained.

"Wait, the poisonous smoke is not easy to control. How long will it take to dissipate? How to control it specifically?" Some people questioned. It is best not to dig your own grave in such a dangerous matter.

"Don't worry, this poisonous smoke has a short duration, and will only last for a day at most. I have a way to control the poisonous smoke." Chu Nan looked around, quickly found the target, and said confidently:

"There is a wind vent near Nanjia Mountain, which blows towards the west city gate. Moreover, everyone in Yuncheng will stay on the mountain today. Just warn everyone not to go down the mountain."

"What would happen if you accidentally inhale the toxic smoke?" the man continued to ask, still a little worried.

"It's just a minor problem. Your five senses will be deprived for a period of time, and your cultivation will stagnate. Also, your desires will become extremely strong." Chu Nan smiled and ordered:

"Today, I will help the people of Yuncheng to open up their meridians with acupuncture for free. No more waiting after the deadline, so hurry up."

The people of Yuncheng spent the whole day on Mount Nanjia, outing and relaxing. Now with Chu Nan's words, the matter of the beast tide was forgotten.

"There is one more thing. Miss Qin and the others are still camping outside the southwest city. Should we remind them?" Uncle Fu reminded.

"You remembered it wrong, Uncle Fu. They left a long time ago and wouldn't stay any longer." Chu Nan stopped him.

Soon, Chu Nan had found all the spiritual materials he had requested. Before asking Uncle Fu to take them to be burned, he cut his palm, collected a jar of blood, and gave it to them.

"This is the last ingredient of the medicine."

At the same time, Chu Nan summoned the little phoenix that lived in his body and used his phoenix fire to do things.

I don't understand why Chu Nan cut his hand to get the blood, but his efforts have won the recognition and respect of the people of Yuncheng, and he has the style of the Demon Suppressing King in his past!

After a while, a thick green smoke floated from the northwest of Yuncheng and spread.

When the monster outside Yuncheng smelled it, its red eyes returned to normal and then it fainted and fell to the ground.
