Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

The dandy prince said, "Let's not talk about eternal youth for now. Don't forget, if immortality is truly possible, then at most, through years of practice, even if you're clueless, you can develop your own martial arts that can rejuvenate you, right? Let's first talk about how to eat this centipede monster."

Purification Witch: "A thousand-year-old centipede monster? Such a being is almost a god or demon, right? You actually want to eat it?"

Digging a hole to bury someone: "Other worlds? Are there really monsters there? Or are they thousand-year-old centipede monsters? Are those things really edible? Are they delicious?"

The sloppy Taoist said, "Haha...it's just a guess. After all, in Gang Leader Xiong's world, there are divine beasts like dragons, phoenixes, dragon turtles, and unicorns. Once consumed, the essences of these beasts are enough to grant immortality. And this thousand-year-old centipede demon in Zuo Qianhu's world is only one step away from becoming a dragon. We suspect that consuming its flesh, even if it doesn't grant true immortality, will certainly extend our lifespan!"

Cow Chariot: "This Zuo Qianhu is the strongest mortal, right? In his world, is there really a way to bring the dead back to life? Also, aren't thousand-year-old animals immortals? Why would you even think of eating them?"

Sloppy Taoist: "Hey... Miss Tsunade, where did you hear that animals that are a thousand years old are immortals? Immortals are immortals, and monsters are monsters. Could it be that in Miss Tsunade's world, there are animals that can live for a thousand years?"

Cow Chariot: "Of course, the Toad Immortal, Snake Immortal, and Slug Immortal of the three holy places all have lifespans of at least a thousand years!!"

Xiong Ba Tian Xia: "That's great. If the flesh of this centipede monster isn't enough to grant us immortality, then we can go to the world of the Cow Chariot and kill those three monsters as well!!"

Cow Chariot: "How dare you say that, you bastard? You even want to eat the three great immortals?"

Xiong Ba Tian Xia: "Hmph. According to you, these so-called three immortals are a toad spirit, a snake spirit, and a... slug. They're just three alien creatures. Even if they have a thousand-year lifespan, they're still monsters. They're not of our kind, so why not kill them?"

Sloppy Taoist: "Although... although I feel that calling an alien an immortal is somewhat... somewhat contradictory to my usual understanding. But since they can be called immortals, then I think they must be cultivators who have done meritorious deeds for us humans."

Cow Chariot: "Merit? What kind of merit?"

The sloppy Taoist said: "If you have no merits for our human race, why are you called an immortal?"

Heroes Dominate the World: "In this world, even the cultivation methods are hidden behind the scenes. The so-called immortals are probably just a bunch of strange people who wield power. If they can let us share in immortality, perhaps it is their merit!"

The Dandy Prince: "That's right!! This time I think Gang Leader Xiong is right!! How could these strange creatures be immortals? If eating them can grant us immortality, then that would be their merit!!"

Cow Chariot: "You...you guys..."

The sloppy Taoist said, "Miss Tsunade, I think you should step outside of your current understanding. Chakra, as an energy, carries inherent hidden dangers. It can spread for millennia. Clearly, something went wrong in your world long ago. And if aliens can claim to be immortals, then there must be something wrong with these so-called three immortals!"

Seeing that everyone in the chat group unanimously believed that there was something wrong with their world, Tsunade was full of resistance.

But at this moment, Tsunade was facing the greatest setback in her life. She even hesitated many times when she thought about using the evil art of soul-playing with the Impure World Reincarnation to revive her brother and lover.

At this moment, the group members unanimously believed that there was something wrong with the three sacred places and the sages. Even if Tsunade could find a hundred reasons to refute it, the hidden pitfalls of chakra energy itself were simply unacceptable.

Cow Chariot: "My mind is in a mess right now. Anyway, there will definitely be no problem with the three great sages. Even my grandfather signed a spiritual contract with the Slug Sage. If the three holy places are really capable, how could my grandfather not have noticed it? You know, my grandfather is known as the God of Ninjas!!"

Xiong Ba Tian Xia: "So where is your grandfather now?"

Cow Chariot: "What do you mean?"

Heroine's World: "Excuse me, I'm actually quite curious about this question as well! With the skills that Tsunade-sister has shown before, if he could be called the God of Ninja, then your grandfather must be very powerful. I wonder how he's doing now?"

Perhaps it was because of Kanan's interruption that Tsunade's hostility towards Yuba was weakened a little.

Cow Chariot: "My grandfather passed away a long time ago. Although he was called the God of Ninja, he single-handedly pacified the Warring States period for nearly a thousand years. He also suffered many injuries. It is said that he died from a recurrence of old injuries!!"

Purification Miko: "There's a problem!! Not only is there something wrong with the chakra itself, but there must also be something wrong with your grandfather's death!!"

Cow Chariot: "Can you please not be so dark all the time?"

Stunning Cook: "That... Sister Tsunade, I think, perhaps, it's not that everyone in our chat group has dark intentions. It's that... you're too stubborn!! If you think about it carefully, it's not hard to find out. Whether it's the problem of chakra itself, or the so-called three great sages and your grandfather who were so powerful, but died so early. It all makes people feel that there is a conspiracy!!"

Ying An naturally knew that the chakra in the ninja world was actually a farce originating from Kaguya Otsutsuki's family from the beginning to the end.

But the essence of chakra, is indeed belonged to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Since the Fourth Shinobi World War, after Kaguya was released, with the exception of the descendants of the same bloodline, the chakra of other ninjas can be taken away by Kaguya at will.

From this, it is not difficult to see how terrible hidden dangers exist in the ninja world.

However, it was far from the time to expose the mastermind behind the scenes. Moreover, Ying An was also quite curious about the sacred tree and the chakra fruit.

If possible, he would rather the chat group arrange a mission during the Fourth Ninja World War.

By that time, Ying An believed that even if he could not increase the fusion degree of Hong Yi's template to 100% and open the second template, he would definitely be able to reach the level of eight or nine thunder tribulations, and his physical body would definitely not be inferior to the level of flesh and blood, immortal dust, billions of incarnations, and rebirth through drops of blood.

At this level, even if he faces the so-called Otsutsuki clan, he is confident enough to seize the fruit of the sacred tree.

As for now, of course we have to take care of Captain Zuo first.

After all, Captain Zuo had already begun escorting the former Minister of War, Fu Tianchou, to the capital. It could be said that Captain Zuo's life was hanging by a thread.

If he really encountered the national teacher Pu Du Ci Hang, who was the incarnation of the thousand-year-old centipede demon, then with Zuo Qianhu's strength, there would be almost no possibility of resistance.

Natural Born Sage: "Alright. Tsunade and the Ninja World are matters for later. Chakra, as an energy system, has existed for thousands of years. Even if the mastermind behind this is truly ready to reap the world, fighting is a long-term strategy. Tsunade's life will not be in danger in the short term. Let's focus on Zuo Qianhu for now!! After all, he's about to meet the Imperial Master of the Millennium Centipede Demon!"

Cow Chariot: "Yeah! I almost forgot. In that Zuo Qianhu's world, is there really a way to truly resurrect someone?"

The Strongest Mortal: "This... I have never encountered it. However, since the group leader said so, perhaps... perhaps in the lower world, there really is an outsider master who possesses such power!!"

The sloppy Taoist asked, "Is Captain Zuo about to meet a national master?"

The Strongest Mortal: "How is that possible? I am still on my way to escort Master Fu to the capital. Although the Imperial Master... although Pudu Cihang has been touring the country and promoting Buddhism during this period. But as far as I know, the route I am escorting Master Fu to does not overlap with Pudu Cihang's. There is no possibility of meeting! Moreover..."

Just as he was speaking, Captain Zuo suddenly stopped moving.

Digging a hole to bury someone: "What's going on? Why is there no one here all of a sudden? Could this be what Xu Si said, setting a flag? He just finished saying it and immediately ran into that national teacher. How could he be gone so quickly?"

The sloppy Taoist said, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Zuo Qianhu's sudden disappearance had the chat group members talking about it. Feng Baobao's statement of setting a flag had frightened the group members.

After almost a cup of tea, Captain Zuo finally appeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Strongest Mortal: "I'm sorry to have caused everyone worry. Just now, while I was escorting him, I unexpectedly encountered a person from the outside world. This mage is proficient in magic, and I thought he was sent by Pudu Cihang to kill Master Fu. We fought for a while."

Ying An reacted instantly. If he guessed correctly, the person Zuo Qianhu had just met must be Zhiqiu Yiye.

According to the time calculation, after Zuo Qianhu encountered Zhiqiu Yiye, he would almost immediately encounter Pudu Cihang, the thousand-year-old centipede demon. The difference between the two was definitely no more than three days.

According to Captain Zuo's previous statement, the route he took to escort Fu Tianchou didn't overlap with Pudu Cihang's tour of the empire, promoting Buddhism. So... could this thousand-year-old centipede demon be targeting Fu Tianchou?

In Zuo Qianhu's world, nearly all the civil and military officials in the imperial court had been devoured by Pudu Cihang, leaving them as empty shells. Even so, the thousand-year-old centipede demon hadn't managed to escape its own body and transform into a dragon.

Obviously, either Pudu Cihang's plan for the national destiny was wrong. The Golden Dragon of National Destiny could not transform a centipede into a dragon.

Or maybe there was still a portion of the golden dragon of national destiny in the court that he hadn't devoured. And this portion of national destiny was probably in the hands of those exiled ministers.

Fu Tianchou is one of them!!

Only in this way can we explain that the purpose of Pudu Cihang's tour of the world is essentially to find those exiled ministers scattered throughout the world who carry the country's destiny.

It was very likely that Fu Tianchou was his last target. It was precisely because of this that Pudu Cihang inexplicably changed direction and headed straight for Fu Tianchou.

And Captain Zuo was just an unlucky guy who was affected.

Cow Chariot: "A sorcerer who can cast spells? Could it be that person who masters the art of resurrection that you mentioned before?"

The Strongest Mortal: "No, this wizard named Zhiqiu Yiye, although his magic is very powerful, he does not have the magic to resurrect people!!"

Natural Born Sage: "@The Strongest Mortal, Zuo Qianhu. I have some very unfortunate news for you. I don't think you'll be able to return to the capital."

The Strongest Mortal: "Why?"

If someone else said this, Zuo Qianhu would either take it as a threat or simply think it was nonsense.

But now that it was Ying An who said these words, Captain Zuo had to take it seriously.

Natural Born Sage: "Pudu Cihang, this thousand-year-old centipede demon, wants to devour the golden dragon of a nation's destiny, shed his demonic form, and transform into a divine dragon. He has already devoured the flesh and blood of the court officials. Yet, he still hasn't successfully transformed into a dragon. Where do you think he'll set his sights on next?"

Female Ruler: "It should be those ministers who were exiled but still have great prestige in the court and among the people, right?"

Natural Born Sage: "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid his so-called tour of the country to promote Buddhism is actually aimed at those ministers who are not in the court. If every time he goes to a place, a minister disappears or dies, I think his next target will definitely be this Fu Tianchou you escorted to the place!"

The world of A Chinese Ghost Story.

Captain Zuo, who was riding a horse to guard a carriage heading towards the capital, suddenly pulled the reins.

Accompanied by the neighing of the horses under their crotch, the convoy stopped instantly.

In the carriage at the back, Fu Tianchou, dressed in prisoner uniform, lifted the curtain.

Ever since he learned in the chat group that the Imperial Preceptor Pu Du Ci Hang was actually a thousand-year-old centipede demon, Captain Zuo couldn't help but know that Fu Tian Chou, the former Minister of War, was definitely wrongly accused.

Although he couldn't let Fu Tianchou go privately due to the rules, he did his best to make things easier for Fu Tianchou during the escort.

At the very least, at this moment, Fu Tianchou was not shackled and standing on a prison cart as before, but was comfortably riding in a carriage which was not luxurious but much better than a prison cart.

"Captain Zuo. What happened?" There was a hint of arrogance in Fu Tianchou's tone that was hard to conceal.

It is undeniable that Fu Tianchou is indeed a loyal minister in the court. But in essence, he is just a pedantic scholar.

If he is truly a capable official, I believe that even the monster Pudu Cihang will not let him go.

Since even Pu Du Ci Hang, a monster who coveted the golden dragon of the court's fortune, put him at the end, it can be seen that Fu Tianchou actually did not do much.

To be more precise, Fu Tianchou was somewhat similar to those pedantic scholars. He looked down on the military commanders in the court and was a determined civil official who controlled the military with his civil service.

Fu Tianchou was originally the Minister of War. Although he was a civil servant, his responsibility was to manage military affairs. Zuo Xiong was only a captain. How could he be taken seriously by such a powerful figure in the court?

Even though he is in trouble now, Fu Tianchou still hasn't let go of his pride.

"Reporting to Sir Fu, there is nothing happening ahead!" Captain Zuo shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir Fu, there is something I don't understand. Could you please give me some advice?"

"Let's set off as soon as possible if nothing else. I still have to go to the capital to meet His Majesty! Don't forget, I am still a criminal!" The moment the words fell, Fu Tianchou directly let go of the curtain of the carriage and retreated into the carriage.

Captain Zuo was in a dilemma.

If we follow Ying An's statement, the monster Pu Du Ci Hang, who was touring the world in the name of doing things, actually devoured the loyal officials in the court.

After he has eaten up all the ministers outside the capital, his attention will definitely be on Fu Tianchou.

However, as a mere official of a thousand households, he obviously couldn't confirm this.

After all, how could a low-ranking military general know the hometowns of the court ministers?

Fu Tianchou, a civil servant, was different.

He dismounted, determined to find out Pudu Cihang's purpose. Captain Zuo strode to the carriage, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Master Fu, I have something to ask for your guidance!"

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Fu Tianchou said in an impatient tone.

"May I ask, sir, whether the places visited by Imperial Master Pudu Cihang during his tour of the empire are the places of origin of the exiled officials, or the places where they hold office?"

Fu Tianchou in the carriage was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand why Captain Zuo would ask such a strange question,

Chapter 101: Maintaining the correct trajectory of destiny! Evil spirits are rampant, and hundreds of ghosts are roaming the night!

But as a civil servant, he also couldn't stand the fact that a monk like Pu Du Ci Hang had usurped the position of the imperial teacher and even interfered in the government affairs.

At this moment, upon hearing Captain Zuo's question, Fu Tianchou subconsciously recalled the many ministers in the court who had been exiled like himself. He quickly thought of the ministers' hometowns and places of employment.

As a civil servant who passed the imperial examination, although Fu Tianchou did not make any achievements in the court, his memory was quite strong.

In a short period of time, he had confirmed that the problem with Zuo Qianhu was indeed true.

The places where those ministers in the court who were in the same situation as himself were located were actually the cities where Pu Du Ci Hang had passed through or stayed for a period of time during his tour of the world.

After a moment of silence, Fu Tianchou in the carriage slowly spoke.

"Captain Zuo, how did you know about this? Could it be that you, a captain, were actually spying on the officials in the imperial court?"

"Master Fu has misunderstood." Captain Zuo quickly explained, "It is... there was an expert who once told this humble official that Pu Du Ci Hang in the court is a monster!!"

"What did you say?" Fu Tianchou was startled and immediately opened the car curtain again! !

When Zuo Qianhu first learned that the Imperial Master Pu Du Ci Hang was actually a thousand-year-old centipede demon, he was no less surprised than Fu Tianchou was now.

"Master Fu heard correctly. This humble official said that the Imperial Master Pudu Cihang is a demon. Officials like Master Fu who have been exiled to the local areas are his targets!!"

After hearing Captain Zuo's explanation, Fu Tianchou felt dizzy for a moment.

If Pudu Cihang's purpose is really to punish those demoted officials, doesn't it mean that countless colleagues have fallen victim to this monster?

Fu Tianchou had no doubt at all about Captain Zuo's claim that Pu Du Ci Hang was a monster.

After all, in his opinion, if Pu Du Ci Hang was not a demon, then he was a demon monk. It made more sense that he was a demon.

"So..." After calming himself down, Fu Tianchou said, "Those...those adults who have suffered the same fate as me, who have been exiled, have now fallen into the hands of that evil monk?"

After a moment of silence, Captain Zuo clasped his fists in salute and said with his head bowed, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it is!"

"Is it my turn next?" Fu Tianchou asked immediately.

"Please rest assured, sir. I will never let you fall into harm's way!" Captain Zuo vowed.

Unfortunately, Fu Tianchou had never looked down on a low-ranking military officer like him. How could he possibly believe that Captain Zuo could protect his safety?

Faced with the threat of death, although Fu Tianchou was indeed panicked for a moment, he soon regained his composure and even regained his unprecedented fighting spirit.

One has to admit that although Fu Tianchou is a pedantic scholar, it is precisely because he is a true scholar that he does not care about his own life or death, and is even willing to gamble the lives of his entire family in order to gain a good reputation.

"Captain Zuo!" Fu Tianchou's tone became impassioned. "Send the order immediately, return to the capital at once. I must see His Majesty before I fall to that monster's hands. Even if it costs my life, I will expose the true face of the evil monk!"
