Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 216 Torrential Rain on Wuliang Mountain, the Great Buddha Appears
When Lu Yang and the other two returned to the place where they were imprisoned, they found that everything was just as Jiang Yuchuan had said, with not a single person in sight.
The three searched all the houses thoroughly and found a number of encrypted letters and some accounts.
All three were shocked by the amount recorded in the accounts.
If just one outpost could amass such a huge amount of silver in such a short time, the three of them could hardly imagine the total amount if all the outposts of this organization were added together.
Combined with how easily the masked man had revealed Li Murui's identity, the three were now certain that a high-ranking official of the current dynasty was involved in this organization!
"This is outrageous! I must report this matter to my elder brother, the Emperor!"
Li Murui said bitterly, "This group of people has amassed so much silver under the guise of the Dragon Messenger; there must be a huge conspiracy brewing behind it!"
"That's right!"
Lu Yang nodded in agreement with a serious expression, saying, "This is not a simple case of fraudsters swindling money; the purpose behind it could very well threaten the safety of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Seeing that they had found nothing else, the three prepared to leave immediately and hand over the evidence in their hands to the emperor.
Before leaving, Cheng Yao looked at the other two and said:
"We owe our significant gains entirely to the help of that senior colleague. I think we should go back and properly thank him before we leave."
"It should!"
Cheng Yao's proposal was unanimously approved by Lu Yang and Li Murui.
When the three arrived at the location, they found that there was no one in the woods, and their divine senses had not left even the slightest trace of a fight.
"What about people?"
Lu Yang scratched his head and looked around.
He was not only looking for Jiang Yuchuan, but also for the masked men that Jiang and the other two had trapped earlier.
"Strange..." Li Murui looked puzzled. "Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"
Cheng Yao shook his head. "The location is correct. It seems that senior has already left. We should not stay here any longer. We are carrying important evidence of crimes, so it would be best to return as soon as possible."
Without further delay, the three immediately set off to leave the woods.
Fortunately, the forest was not far from Jinghe Town. Before dark, the three of them successfully arrived in the town, bought three fast horses, and set off for Tianlong City overnight.
Unbeknownst to Lu Yang and his companions, as they rode their horses out of Jinghe Town, Jiang Yuchuan, whom they had been searching for but could not find, was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse they had visited earlier, watching their every move.
Jiang Yuchuan helped the three of them not only because they were descendants of an old friend, but also because he didn't want to see any more people with ill intentions using the dragon for personal gain.
He didn't want to do the work of eliminating these people himself, because it was completely unnecessary.
If the three of them can submit the evidence they have collected, even if they cannot completely eliminate that group, they can still deal a devastating blow to them.
After all, no one would have expected such an unexpected person to appear.
Jiang Yuchuan stayed overnight in Jinghe Town, and only continued his journey towards the interior of Daqian the next morning.
Finding spiritual objects is not something that can be rushed. Since the location of the last metal-attribute spiritual object is still uncertain, Jiang Yuchuan no longer chose to travel by flying after entering the Great Qian Dynasty. Instead, he chose to walk, just like when he traveled before.
Jiang Yuchuan traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, passing through many villages, towns, and cities.
During this period, Jiang Yuchuan heard about many things happening in the imperial court and the martial arts world.
For example, the emperor swiftly executed many officials, and various sects suddenly joined forces to launch a siege against a particular sect, completely annihilating it.
Furthermore, the dragon messengers that appeared in various places were all wanted and besieged by the imperial court and martial arts sects.
When Jiang Yuchuan heard these rumors, he knew that Lu Yang and the other two had succeeded.
Sure enough, after some time, when the Divine Dragon Messenger organization had been almost completely wiped out, the emperor personally issued an imperial edict, making public the list of all the masterminds behind this shocking deception of the Divine Dragon Messenger, and imposing the severe punishment of exterminating nine generations of their families. At the same time, he greatly praised Lu Yang, Li Murui, and Cheng Yao, who had made great contributions in this operation, bestowing upon them the title of "Young Heroes" and granting them many rewards.
Once this imperial edict was issued and spread throughout the land, the names of Lu Yang and his two companions became famous throughout the country, making them role models for many young people to emulate.
Since all three were born into prestigious families and possessed first-rate martial arts talent, people in the martial arts world naturally regarded them as the new generation of leaders in the imperial court and the martial arts world.
Just as the martial arts world was buzzing with discussion about the Dragon Messenger Yi'an and the three young heroes who had made a decisive contribution to solving the case, the area near Wuliang Mountain in the eastern part of Daqian was plunged into turmoil due to several days of heavy rain.
Although Wuliang Mountain is not the largest mountain in the Great Qian Dynasty, it is undoubtedly the most famous.
Because the ancient temple, Wanfo Temple, one of the three major martial arts sects in the world, is located on Wuliang Mountain.
Several days of torrential rain have caused the river near Wuliang Mountain to swell, with the possibility of it bursting its banks and overflowing at any time.
To prevent innocent villagers from being harmed during the flood, local officials and the Dafosi Temple jointly dispatched hundreds of people to help villagers evacuate to safety while reinforcing the river embankment to delay the onset of the flood as much as possible.
On the seventh night of the continuous heavy rain, rolling thunder suddenly appeared in the sky above Wuliang Mountain.
The thunderous explosions were particularly powerful; each one could be clearly heard by people dozens of miles away.
After thunder echoed in the sky for half an hour, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly descended and struck the back of Wuliang Mountain.
As the lightning struck, Mount Wuliang trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.
Fortunately, the tremor did not last long, stopping after only a quarter of an hour.
The monks of Dafosi Temple all breathed a sigh of relief.
If the tremors continue any longer, their ancient temple, which has stood for a thousand years, will probably have to be rebuilt.
After the tremors of Wuliang Mountain stopped, the thunder and heavy rain in the sky gradually subsided.
"Great! The rain is finally going to stop!"
The young novice monk in the temple stood under the eaves, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.
Just then, a middle-aged monk rushed in from outside the temple, looking flustered in the rain.
"Master Mingxin, something terrible has happened! That lightning bolt just now cleaved half of the back mountain of Wuliang Mountain! Inside the collapsed back mountain, a huge stone Buddha has been revealed!"
