"Yes!" Zuo Qianhu agreed immediately.
It was obvious that Fu Tianchou was a criminal official, and Captain Zuo was the one who escorted him. Logically speaking, Captain Zuo was in control of Fu Tianchou's life and death.
But unfortunately, Fu Tianchou was extremely arrogant towards military officers, and Zuo Qianhu was deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty to the emperor.
When they didn't know Pu Du Ci Hang was a monster, they still gave Fu Tianchou some courtesy due to the rules. Not to mention now.
When Fu Tianchou couldn't wait to gamble his life and property to gain a good reputation.
Zuo Qianhu also began to ask for help from the chat group.
The Strongest Mortal: "Master, fellow group members! Master Fu has decided to expedite his journey to the capital to expose the true identity of the Imperial Master, Pu Du Ci Hang. I am worried that if the news leaks, Pu Du Ci Hang will harm Master Fu. With my abilities, I am unable to protect Master Fu from this thousand-year-old centipede monster. I beg for your help, fellow group members and Master!"
The sloppy Taoist said, "Why is that? Since you know Pudu Cihang is a monster, why do you still go there knowing there's a tiger?"
The Heroine's World: "Isn't this simple? These Confucian hypocrites are used to using such means to gain a good reputation. It's just a pity that the good reputation they have gained not only requires them to risk their own lives and property, but also implicate three clans because of him!!"
In fact, the criminal law of exterminating nine generations of a clan has only been used twice in the entire history of China.
One was Yang Su, who lived not long after Kankan's time. The creator of the Yanggong Treasury was executed along with his entire clan by imperial decree from Emperor Yang Guangming of the Sui Dynasty for his rebellion.
The last time was when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, executed Fang Xiaoru's ten clans.
The most common use of the "Yi San Clan" was by the Yi San Clan! Even Qian Qian, who had just experienced the "Nine Clans Extermination," subconsciously believed that the Yi San Clan was the most ruthless. Clearly, the "Nine Clans Extermination" wasn't as deeply rooted in people's minds as one might imagine.
After all, the scope of involvement of killing nine clans is too wide.
Heroes Over the World: "For the sake of his own reputation, he actually disregarded the lives of his entire family. This Fu Tianchou is truly ruthless and heartless!! Even someone like me who prides myself on being a hero can't be as heartless and unrighteous as him!!"
Natural Born Sage: "We really want to help you. But now that there are no missions, we are helpless. @Strongest Mortal, Zuo Qianhu, instead of asking for help directly, why don't you find a way to stimulate the mission."
The Strongest Mortal: "Thank you for the advice, group leader. @Sloppy Taoist, may I ask, Taoist Master Zhang, how did you trigger the mission before?"
So far, the chat group has only experienced two tasks, and the only one that can be said to have truly changed destiny was the one involving Zhang Sanfeng.
In Xu Fengnian's case, the chat group was maintaining the correct trajectory of destiny.
The sloppy Taoist said, "This... I don't know either. But, at the time, I felt that since the five major sects came to threaten me, as Cuishan's master, I would never let them do what they wanted, even if it meant risking my life!"
The Strongest Mortal: "It's that simple? Then why can't I do it?"
The sloppy Taoist said, "Perhaps your wish isn't strong enough?"
Stunning Cook: "Is there a definition of strong or weak wishes? Isn't it just about what you want, or what kind of wish you have?"
The dandy prince said, "I think it was probably because Taoist Zhang's situation was imminent. That's why the mission appeared. Captain Zuo is still safe for now. If he were to encounter Pudu Cihang now, the situation would become critical. Maybe the chat group would issue a mission right away!!"
Just when Zuo Qianhu saw the message Xu Fengnian replied in the chat group.
A faint sound of Buddhist chanting continued to come from afar.
A chill breeze, wrapped in thick fog, filled the surroundings in an extremely short period of time, and even Captain Zuo could not tell the direction.
"Be careful!" Captain Zuo's heart tightened, and he instantly drew the long sword from his waist. While staring at the direction where the Buddhist chanting came from, he reminded Fu Tianchou in the carriage without even turning his head: "Master Fu, please be careful."
Fu Tianchou, who had lifted the door curtain, happened to see the fog-filled scene around him. He dared not be careless at this time and hurriedly retreated into the carriage.
You know, in Fu Tianchou's eyes, he was about to become a loyal minister who would fight for the people and rebuke the emperor. How could he possibly let his life be lost in such a place?
"There's something weird about this fog!!" Being trapped in the thick fog, Zuo Qianhu felt a chill all over his body, as if attacks might come from all directions, even from the sky and the ground.
"My dear colleagues, let us protect Master Fu and get out of this fog blockade!"
The moment he finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu took the lead and rushed towards the direction where the fog was thin.
Zuo Qianhu didn't know that when he rushed towards the direction where the fog was weak.
The jungle was also shrouded in thick fog, but it was thinner than in other directions.
A pair of sisters were looking in the direction of Zuo Qianhu and others with serious expressions.
"Sister, what...what's going on? Wasn't Father being escorted to the capital? Why did he just..."
The girl, wearing a clean white long dress and with her black hair loose and untied, frowned and asked her sister Fu Qingfeng beside her.
Glancing at her sister Le Chi, Fu Qingfeng shook her head. It was obvious that she didn't understand why she saw her father sitting in the carriage just before the thick fog swept in.
On the contrary, the one who was responsible for escorting him and the many retainers under his command who were dressed in the same attire, disguised as ghosts and intended to kidnap his father by force, did not care about this. After all, they only needed to obey the orders of the Fu sisters and rescue Lord Fu Tianchou.
After a moment of silence, Fu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what's going on, let's rescue Father first! This strange fog has arrived just in time!"
"Wait. Sister, did you hear any strange sound?" Fu Yuechi suddenly seemed to hear some faint sound, and before her sister was about to take action, she instantly grabbed Fu Qingfeng's wrist.
"What's that sound?" Fu Qingfeng looked confused.
"That's it..." Fu Yuechi thought for a moment and said, "It sounds like the sound of monks chanting in a temple."
Shaking his head, Fu Qingfeng said, "No. Don't worry about it now, rescue father first!!"
"Okay!!" Fu Yuechi could only nod upon hearing this.
As the fog grew thicker, Zuo Qianhu wanted to find a safe place, while Fu Qingfeng and his group wanted to rescue Fu Tianchou.
In the heavy fog, the two groups met unexpectedly.
The moment they met, both Zuo Qianhu and Fu Qingfeng's side were stunned for a moment. But the next moment, accompanied by Zuo Qianhu's questioning, Fu Qingfeng's side, who had already planned it, launched an attack in an instant.
Although the incident happened in a hurry, Captain Zuo was able to use his powerful martial arts to defeat Zhiqiu Yiye, who was suddenly immobilized by his horse while galloping, so that Zhiqiu Yiye did not even have time to cast spells.
In the first encounter, although many of Captain Zuo's soldiers died at the hands of the Fu sisters and their assassins, Captain Zuo himself also killed many of the Fu sisters' subordinates in a very short time.
The conflict is escalating.
Rushing to a position not far from the carriage, Fu Qingfeng immediately called out loudly.
"father!!"
Fu Tianchou, who was in the carriage, was immediately surprised and delighted the moment he heard his daughter's voice.
You know, when he suddenly heard the shouts and cries of killing, this former Minister of War was really frightened. After all, in his heart, he wanted to go to the capital and leave a lasting reputation. If he died in this desolate wilderness, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?
At this moment, Fu Tianchou, who was relieved to hear that it was his daughter who came to rescue him, immediately adopted the attitude of a scholar.
"presumptuous!!"
With a roar, Fu Tianchou slowly opened the car curtain and shouted angrily: "Qingfeng, Yuechi, you two are so bold!!!"
The Fu sisters, who were about to engage in close combat with Captain Zuo, suddenly stopped moving.
“Dad! You…”
I saw that my father didn't look like a prisoner being escorted at all. In fact, his complexion was rosy and he didn't look like he had experienced the hardship of traveling at all.
"Master Fu, these two are..." Captain Zuo frowned, his face showing a look of obvious reluctance.
"General Zuo, these are my two good-for-nothing daughters. I didn't expect them to be so bold. Please forgive me, General Zuo!" Fu Tianchou rarely softened his attitude in front of Captain Zuo, no longer as arrogant as before.
Unwillingly glancing at the soldiers on the ground who had died tragically in the battle with the Fu sisters' assassins, Captain Zuo lowered his head and whispered, "What does Lord Fu mean?"
"General Zuo, please show mercy. How about letting them both go?" Although Fu Tianchou seemed to be asking, his tone still couldn't hide his domineering attitude towards Captain Zuo.
Just when Zuo Qianhu was hesitating, unsure of what to do, the long-awaited task notification finally arrived in the chat group.
[Ding! Detected group member, the strongest mortal is about to face a life-or-death crisis. Requesting assistance to the chat group!]
Mission Description: In the world of the strongest mortal, yin and yang are reversed, morality has collapsed, and evildoers are rampant in the court. The strongest mortal, responsible for escorting the court's most wanted criminal, is about to face a centipede demon with a thousand years of cultivation.
[Quest Requirements: Help the strongest mortal survive this life-or-death crisis! Slay demons and monsters!]
[Task Rewards: Points will be awarded based on the group members' task completion rate!]
"It's finally here!!" Zuo Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even couldn't help but sigh.
"What finally came?" Fu Tianchou looked at Captain Zuo in confusion and said, "General, my daughter is ignorant. Why bother to argue with them?"
"Master Fu, please wait a moment!!"
At this moment, Captain Zuo had no time to think about Fu Tianchou's chatter during the regular meeting. He was too busy asking for help from the chat group members.
The Strongest Mortal: "Master group leader. And all group members. That evildoer is approaching, please don't hesitate to help!"
The moment he received the task prompt, Ying An was already prepared.
However, Zuo Qianhu’s world is different from the previous two missions.
Whether it is Zhang Sanfeng's world or Xu Fengnian's world, in terms of the level of power system, they are undoubtedly inferior to the world where Zuo Qianhu is.
Although there is even a fairyland in Xu Fengnian's world, the upper limit of power is destined to make the world in the snow no match for Zuo Qianhu's A Chinese Ghost Story world.
You have to know that although evil spirits are rampant and hundreds of ghosts roam the night in Zuo Qianhu's world today, in the past, there were heaven and hell in his world.
In a world of this intensity, especially when the mission target is the thousand-year-old centipede monster Pudu Cihang, there is no doubt that many team members cannot help at all.
Natural Born Sage: "Zuo Qianhu's world is quite special. Moreover, the enemy this time is a thousand-year-old centipede monster. I hope everyone will act according to their ability!!"
Xiong Ba Tian Xia: "My dear group leader, your worries are in vain. No matter how risky this mission is, compared to eating the flesh of that thousand-year-old centipede monster and potentially gaining immortality, I'm afraid no one would care about this little risk!!"
Just as Xiongba expected, in just a moment, Ying An, the group leader, was surprised to find that almost everyone in the chat group had signed up to participate in this mission.
Natural Born Sage: "That's all. This mission is extraordinary. I hope everyone will remember this and not act rashly!"
After giving the group members another friendly reminder, Ying An directly chose to accept the task.
At the same time, the power of the chat group began to send group members to the world where Zuo Qianhu was.
In the foggy jungle.
After receiving affirmative responses from the group members, Captain Zuo began to concentrate and be on guard.
Indeed, at this moment, the faint Buddhist chanting had become increasingly clear. Through the thick fog, they could even vaguely see a team heading their way.
Unfortunately, he had no idea of the disaster that was about to strike. Fu Tianchou, having received no response from Captain Zuo, was about to open his mouth and scold him, demonstrating his honor as a civil servant.
Chapter 102: Tathagata of the West! His Dharma Chariot is Here! The Pinnacle of Power! The Incarnation of All Might!
Suddenly, Captain Zuo shouted, "Everyone be careful! That evil monk Pudu Cihang is coming!"
Just as Zuo Qianhu finished speaking.
The thick fog seemed to be controlled by some force, separating a path.
Through the straight road divided by the thick fog, one can clearly see that in the distance, accompanied by the sound of music, a pair of mysterious and unpredictable teams that look like Taoists but not Buddhists are rapidly approaching them.
The team was clearly still far away the moment before, but the next moment, they moved a long distance across space as if they had crossed space.
After several attempts, in a short period of time, the team was already very close.
"Zuo Xiong, you are a captain, yet you slander the Imperial Master. What crime should you be punished for?" The one who scolded Zuo Qianhu was holding a pair of golden cymbals, wearing a strange monk's robe that looked like a patchwork robe. His face was tinged with an abnormal and strange green light. It was hard to tell whether he was a novice monk or a lama, and his voice was even more androgynous.
For Zuo Qianhu, who deeply believed in Ying An as the group leader, if he did not know Pu Du Ci Hang's identity, he might still bow respectfully at this moment because of his identity.
But he had already learned from Ying An that this so-called Pu Du Ci Hang was actually a thousand-year-old centipede monster. How could Zuo Qianhu take these monsters seriously?
"You bold monsters! You are wreaking havoc in the imperial court and devouring the flesh and blood of my civil and military officials. Do you really think that there are no humans left?" Captain Zuo asked angrily.
The sounds of blowing and beating suddenly stopped.
A voice filled with an evil and compassionate tone came over.
"Captain Zuo Xiong, you must have misunderstood. I have devoted my life to the imperial court, to His Majesty, and even to spreading Buddhism and purifying people's hearts. I have traveled the world without hesitation. How could I be such a demon?"
On the altar that looked like a lotus seat, the face of Pudu Cihang appeared.
"Captain Zuo, Fu Tianchou, the former Minister of War, who is standing beside you, has no desire to contribute to the country. Instead, he has slandered the emperor. He is truly a traitor. Since the emperor has ordered you to bring him to the capital for trial, please hand him over to me for the time being. I, a humble monk, am also preparing to return to the capital. Along the way, I can use Buddhism to cleanse Fu Tianchou's heart, which has been blinded by fame and fortune!"
The look in Pu Du Ci Hang's eyes when he looked at Fu Tianchou seemed to be flickering with greed.
Fu Tianchou had been so arrogant just now, but now, when he faced the monster Pudu Cihang, he no longer had any of his previous arrogance. He even hid behind his two daughters without knowing when.
Fortunately, Captain Zuo's attention was focused on Pu Du Ci Hang at this moment. Otherwise, if he had seen Fu Tianchou's performance at this moment, all his respect for the former Minister of War would have disappeared in his heart.
It has been confirmed that Pu Du Ci Hang is a monster, and a monster that devours the flesh and blood of civil and military officials in the court. How could Captain Zuo give Fu Tianchou to the monster as food at this moment?
Not to mention, Pudu Cihang's behavior at this moment was indeed a bit too eager, and it even made people suspect that he had ulterior motives.
This was also something that Zuo Qianhu was unaware of, because he had told Fu Tianchou in advance that the Imperial Master was a monster. In addition, Zuo Qianhu had been very respectful to Fu Tianchou along the way, which made Fu Tianchou not only no longer resistant to entering the capital, but he also kept urging him to speed up along the way.
Due to some strange coincidence, the journey which was supposed to take several days was shortened greatly.
The shortened distance also made Pudu Cihang feel a bit more urgent. Don't forget that although Pudu Cihang is a thousand-year-old centipede monster, his strength has not yet reached the level of ignoring celestial phenomena.
In the original plot, the Millennium Centipede Demon was able to be killed by Yan Chixia and others thanks to the changes in the celestial phenomena, which allowed Pu Du Ci Hang to reveal his true form in advance.
Knowing his own flaws, Pu Du Ci Hang would naturally try his best to avoid them.
This is also the reason why, when he noticed that Zuo Qianhu was escorting Fu Tianchou at an unusual speed, he came to intercept him in advance.
