I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 147: Who shot the arrow?

Gu Heng picked up a black longbow and a short sword from the side.

These are items he made for his own use a long time ago.

He used to live in Qingmu City, where there were fewer patients, so he had plenty of time to explore the mountains and forests, hunt, and kill time. After coming to Yunling City, he rarely went out because he had another mouth to feed.

Now, it's time to stretch our muscles and bones.

Without hesitation, Gu Heng slung the black bow over his shoulder, tucked his short sword into his waistband, and filled his quiver with about twenty arrows he had made himself. He casually drew one, walked to the corner of the hut, looked at the small window in the farthest corner of the wall, drew the bowstring taut, and shot it towards the window! *Thud—*

The arrow pierced the paper window accurately and disappeared outside.

"Hmm, it seems it still works."

Gu Heng's eyebrows twitched.

He fired this arrow with all his might, just to test whether this black bow could still be used. Now it seems it can still be used for a long time!

After all, it was something he had made before, so Gu Heng himself couldn't guarantee its quality.

But that's enough.

Since he wasn't going far, he decided to go to the Cloud Spirit Forest. Last time, Gu Heng went quite deep into it, but strangely, everyone said there were demonic beasts there, but Gu Heng never saw any. He didn't know what was going on.

That's good; without monsters, it's safer.

He can easily hunt wild boars or rabbits. More importantly, going into the mountains and relaxing in the natural environment is good for both his physical and mental health.

Anyway, it's not too late now, so let's set off now, go into the Cloud Spirit Forest, stay for two or three days, and enjoy the wild life. When we come back, it probably won't feel so hard.

Thinking this, Gu Heng picked up his bow and arrows and short sword, and also thought about preparing some medicine to repel insects and beasts, as well as some books and paintings to cultivate his mind and pass the time...

Anyway, the system backpack is big enough to hold anything.

However, when Gu Heng stepped out of the hut and looked at the sky, he noticed something was amiss.

Why is the sky such a deep red?

That's not the color of the sunset; it's not that time of day yet.

A thin mist seemed to shroud the world, giving one the illusion of being surrounded by flames. In Gu Heng's words, it looked as if something had exploded in the sky, turning the area into a near-sea of ​​fire!

"Speaking of which, the ground is shaking too..."

Gu Heng suddenly remembered that there was still a slight tremor under his feet.

That's clearly man-made.

There must have been some incredibly powerful guy who unleashed a super awesome move into the sky, and then it exploded.

Needless to say, it must have been the work of a cultivator!

Gu Heng rolled his eyes.

This is disturbing the peace!

When will it be his turn to disturb the peace like this?

so envious.

Every time he saw it, he felt envious, just not as envious as before, but it still stirred Gu Heng's heartstrings.

Becoming stronger is really good. He cleared his mind, went back to the back room, spent fifteen minutes brewing medicine, went upstairs to change the bandages and dressings for the two women, and after confirming that they still wouldn't wake up so quickly, Gu Heng prepared everything he needed, closed the gate, and went out.

Stepping outside, I saw that the usually deserted streets were now bustling with people.

The butcher and the tailor's wife both came out and looked up at the sky.

The strange phenomenon in the sky was enormous, and the noise was immense. After all, the ground was shaking slightly, and the sky was changing color. How could anyone not notice it?

For ordinary people, witnessing a powerful cultivator make a move is a rare and precious experience.

"Doctor Gu, are we... going into the mountains?"

A vendor saw Gu Heng and struck up a conversation.

"Yeah, don't you all have anything better to do? You've all come out to look at the sky?"

Gu Heng asked with a smile. "Hehe..."

The vendor scratched his head awkwardly: "If there's something to see, then we should take a look... I heard that just now an arrow pierced the sky and entered the clouds, which then triggered a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth!"

"I wonder which cultivator is practicing his moves again."

As he spoke, he continued to look up at the sky.

Gu Heng shook his head, bypassed the mortals who were focused on gazing at the sky, and left.

Other people can make the sky look like this when they shoot arrows, but he can only kill wild boars and rabbits to have a little treat for himself.

However, Gu Heng also felt something was strange just now.

To test if the black bow still worked, I shot an arrow... but I can't find that arrow.

I hope this doesn't end up in someone else's home and hurt anyone.

……

In the imperial palace of the Sunfire Imperial City, Emperor Sunfire was writing in his study. Each stroke was imbued with profound meaning, flowing like dragons and phoenixes, displaying unparalleled elegance.

Suddenly, he stopped writing.

"Ok?"

He frowned, his gaze passing through the window of the imperial study as he looked at the sky outside, which was gradually turning a blood red.

The Sun Emperor sensed something unusual in the sky.

Soon, even the usually composed expression of the Sun Emperor completely lost its composure.

The Sunfire Imperial City was also shaken at this moment! Although it was only for a brief moment, for a powerful figure like him, the ripples in that instant were crystal clear!

What a powerful aftershock!

Given the great distance, could the lingering power still shake this imperial city?

Who made the move? Why did they make the move? How strong are they?

Such power is impossible to ignore even from tens of thousands of miles away. This is definitely not the Tribulation Transcending stage, and may not even be just the Mahayana stage... Could it be that it is the Supreme Saint?

Emperor Riyan threw the golden pen to the ground, walked to the high platform of the palace, and looked into the distance at the horizon... that was the location of Kuyun Prefecture.

"Tsk, strange things have been happening a lot in Kuyun Prefecture lately."

He squinted, looked into the distance, and murmured.

It's one thing that two newly promoted Tribulation Transcending cultivators emerged from Kuyun Prefecture, but now, there are actually experts hiding in Kuyun Prefecture?

Moreover, the aftershocks just now clearly showed that the expert was testing his skills!

Perhaps it has mastered some new technique and is testing its power? But this power is far too great!

The aftershocks alone were enough to make the Sunfire Emperor uneasy. If this attack were to land directly on the Sunfire Emperor's city walls... the city would likely be destroyed and its inhabitants would perish!

"Ugh……"

Emperor Riyan lost interest in continuing to practice calligraphy.

He was the strongest in his dynasty, but only in name. Within his territory, there were countless demonic beasts and demonic beast kings who were completely unruly, although Emperor Riyan had no intention of making them obey him.

But this is a human being.

Such a powerful figure was hiding within the territory of his own dynasty. Even if he was only living in seclusion, Emperor Riyan felt as if a thorn had grown in his heart.

Who is the other party? Where do they live? What is their background?

If he doesn't have this information, how can he, as the ruler of the dynasty, live in peace?

What if some of his subordinates have dealings with this reclusive master...? The more Emperor Sunflame thought about it, the more confused he became.

But what can he do?

Sending someone to gather information could easily anger the other party and lead to utter disaster if not handled carefully.
