Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Even the dust-covered mountain god statue looked quite pleasing to the eye at this moment.

She waved her sleeves, and a gentle breeze blew. The dust in the mountain god temple rolled out like a cloud of smoke. Then Yao Yue pulled a willow branch and swept it in front of the statue of the mountain god.

Song Xuan felt a little amused, "When did you start believing in God?"

“I don’t believe in God!”

Yao Yue pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you say that we should live forever and become immortals and gods in the future?"

She pointed at the mountain god statue and said, "From now on, we'll be colleagues with the mountain god. It wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship in advance, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain temple suddenly shook violently. The next moment, bricks, tiles, and wooden pillars in the temple began to collapse with a loud bang. The messy rubble was scattered all over the ground, burying the confused her and Song Xuan, who had no intention of hiding at all.

"Pfft~~"

Yao Yue walked out of the ruins, waved her hand to disperse the dust and debris that were still falling around, and looked at the mountain god statue that had been smashed into pieces with a frown.

"Was there just an earthquake?"

"Yeah, there's an earthquake!"

Song Xuan's body was glowing with fluorescent light, and he was not stained with dust. Looking at the crooked mountains and forests around him, he said, "The earthquake was not serious, but this mountain temple has been in disrepair for a long time and couldn't withstand it."

"How could it be such a coincidence!"

Yao Yue stared at the torn mountain god statue, "I had just cleaned it up when the earthquake hit. Nothing else collapsed, only this mountain god temple!

My dear, I feel like this mountain god is being disrespectful to me and doesn't want to be our colleague!"

Song Xuan stood there and watched for a long while before smiling and saying, "Maybe. After all, if you become a god, you're also a demon god, not from the same department. It's understandable that others don't want to be your colleague!"

Yao Yue snorted, "I'm the Demon God, and you're the Killer God. Even if we both become immortals in the future, we'll probably be classified as evil gods. You're still laughing at me? What's so funny!"

Chapter 435 Yao Yue: Why don’t they rob me, a weak woman?

Yao Yue threw the willow branch in her hand away, and the already broken mountain god statue was completely turned into powder.

"You look down on me, and I look down on you even more!"

Clapping his hands, Yao Yue snorted, "What gods or not? Those I don't recognize are all false gods!"

She took Song Xuan's arm and asked, "Husband, where are we going next?"

"Go meet some people!"

Song Xuan gazed at the boundless world and said with a smile, "Tangzhou is a place where there are many masters from the Demon Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and the Taoist Sect. I will meet whoever I meet first!"

"Oh?"

Yao Yue was a little surprised, "I thought you were going to meet the King of Wei."

"What's the point of seeing a mortal man with lofty ambitions but a fragile life who can't see the big picture?"

.....

At the Yangzhou wharf, Song Xuan and Yao Yue boarded a black-sailed boat. They stood at the bow, gazing at the river in the distance.

Yao Yue casually sighed, "It's a bit messy!"

The surface of the river was covered with densely packed warships, patrolling back and forth. Just at a glance, there were no less than hundreds of them.

There were dozens of black-armored soldiers stationed on each warship. Song Xuan could clearly sense with just a sweep of his spiritual sense that among these soldiers, there were as many as dozens of innate warriors, and among them, there were even two who were suspected to be martial arts masters.

The martial arts master has a restrained aura, and it is difficult to judge his cultivation level before mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

"These days are really a bit chaotic!"

The boatman was a middle-aged man in his forties. Perhaps because he had been sailing for many years, his skin was tanned and his muscles bulged all over his body, making him look very strong.

After hearing Yao Yue's sigh, he smiled and said, "It was said some time ago that a bandit injured General Yuwen. The Yuwen clan was furious and mobilized a large army to blockade all the docks and ports on the Yangtze River and inspect all ships coming and going.

Anyone who appears suspicious will be apprehended on the spot!"

He pointed at the black-armored soldiers who were brazenly boarding various ships for inspections, and whispered, "But don't worry, Taoist priests. This is basically just a formality. No matter how overbearing the Yuwen clan is, they can't ban merchant ships from traveling.

If it really doesn't work, just give him some silver coins to help him avoid disaster!"

Song Xuan nodded and said nothing more. He sat in the cabin with Yao Yue. Although the boat was not big, it was well equipped with utensils for making tea, and even chessboards and chess pieces.

The two men became interested. Song Xuan set up the chessboard, one of them held the black chess pieces and the other held the white chess pieces. The black and white colors dotted the chessboard, and gradually, it seemed to turn into a black and white Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram.

"Let's call this a draw!"

Song Xuan stretched lazily and said with a smile: "Without using my soul to deduce, I really might not be able to defeat you."

"My husband just let me. If you want to, there's no way you can't win."

As Yao Yue spoke, she turned her head to look outside, and saw a warship speeding towards her on the river. Before it got close, she heard shouting coming from afar.

"Stop the ship! Undergo inspection!"

The voice was cold and contained a condescending aura!

"Don't be impatient, General, stop immediately!"

The boatman had a smile on his face and quickly slowed down the boat. Soon, two black-armored soldiers jumped up and landed on the deck of the boat.

"Are there other people on your boat?"

A tall soldier in black armor stared at the boatman for a few seconds, then looked into the cabin.

The boatman laughed and said, "There are two guests on the boat for fun, but they are not the wanted criminals that the general wants to arrest."

"Whether he is a wanted criminal or not, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to me to decide!"

The soldier raised his hand to push the boatman away, lifted the half-closed curtain of the cabin, and put his head in.

Then, he met Song Xuan's deep and majestic eyes.

"Is something wrong?"

Song Xuan asked casually while playing with the chess piece in his hand.

The black-armored soldier glanced at Song Xuan and Yao Yue, his heart suddenly started beating wildly for no apparent reason, and he instinctively shrank back.

"Nothing, just a routine check. Sorry to bother you two!"

As he spoke, he patted the boatman on the shoulder, signaling him to continue sailing. Then the two black-armored soldiers left the black-sailed boat and returned to the warship.

Yao Yue was brewing tea at the moment and smiled when she saw this. "That's quite tactful. I thought we were going to see a villain robbing a weak woman!"

Song Xuan glanced at her and asked, "How do you look like a weak woman?"

Yao Yue was not convinced. She grabbed Song Xuan's hand and pressed it against her chest, asking in a delicate voice, "Is it soft?"

Song Xuan blinked, feeling the soft and tender softness, and nodded subconsciously.

"Am I pretty then?"

Song Xuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Alright, you're a beautiful, delicate, weak woman, is that okay?"

Yao Yue then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Look, I'm such a pretty and delicate girl. Why didn't that soldier just now have the urge to forcibly seize me? This is abnormal, isn't it?"

"That's normal!" Song Xuan laughed. "That's the normal reaction of a normal person. Even if they have bad intentions towards you, they won't attack you directly. After all, who knows what dangers are hidden on this ship?"

"What would a normal person do?"

Song Xuan pointed to the warship not far away and said, "It's very simple. Retreat to a safe distance, and then mobilize the troops!"

“The black-armored soldier just now might not be lustful, but that doesn’t mean the captains and generals above him are not lustful. Even if the generals leading the troops are not lustful, it doesn’t mean the high-ranking officials of the Yuwen clan behind them are not lustful.

A woman as outstanding as you, captured and presented to the higher-ups in exchange for a chance of promotion, any normal soldier would know what to do! "

Sure enough, as Song Xuan finished speaking, a flare arrow shot into the air with a sharp whistling sound from the warship not far away. With a bang, it exploded like a firework.

Afterwards, countless warships from all directions seemed to have received the signal at the same time, and gathered from all directions like a swarm of ants with a bloodthirsty aura.

Yao Yue watched the scene with her chin in her hand, "Although I spend most of my time training in Yihua Palace, I do have some experience in the martial arts world.

They say that when traveling the Jianghu, the elderly, children, women, and Buddhists are the hardest to mess with. We are wearing Taoist robes, so why aren't they afraid? "

Song Xuan couldn't help but smile, "You also said that, that's the way it is when you're in the martial arts world. The martial arts world has its own logic of survival, but what you're meeting now is not someone from the martial arts world, but the army.

The military has its own code of conduct. In front of the military, they won't tell you any underworld rules or taboos!"

"This army is obviously elite. The ordinary soldiers are all acquired warriors, but there are also leaders at the innate level, and even masters at the grandmaster level.

This kind of army, after setting up a military formation, can even surround and kill a master-level expert.

With this kind of confidence, do you think they will care about the two of us looking at the young Taoist priest?

No matter whether you are a wanted criminal or not, I will arrest you first!"

Chapter 436: Laugh, why aren’t you laughing? Keep laughing!

Yao Yue seemed to be lost in thought.

"The aristocratic families in these places are even more overbearing than the Xuanyi Guards!"

She worked as the secretary of the commander of the Xuanyi Guard for a period of time and learned a lot about things. Although she also knew that the aristocratic families in the local area were generally not good people, the feeling of seeing it with her own eyes was still different from the description in words.

Song Xuan sneered, "When the Xuanyi Guards arrest people, they at least know how to find a reason, but the armies controlled by these aristocratic families don't even need to find a reason, they can arrest anyone they want.

In local areas, their authority is far greater than that of the emperor!"

Yao Yue said, "I understand why you and the Emperor must reshuffle the cards."

Song Xuan hummed, "For a privileged organization, one Xuanyiwei is enough!"

Wow!

The waves rolled in, the tide came and went, and hundreds of warships continued to gather. On one of the large main ships, a silver-armored general in his thirties stood on the deck, staring at the black-armored soldier who fired the flare.

The black-armored soldier hurried forward and whispered a few words in his ear. The silver-armored general's expression became strange.

"Is it really as beautiful as you say?"

"Don't worry, General. But if I tell you a lie, I'll die a miserable death!"

"Oh? In that case, I'll believe you for now. If you're truly as stunning as you say, then I, Yuwen Chengdu, will allow you to be ranked second!"

He looked towards the small black-sailed boat, and through the half-rolled curtain he saw Yao Yue making tea, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"She's truly the most beautiful woman in the world!" He patted the sergeant on the shoulder. "I'll go first, and you'll go second. Isn't that considerate?"

As he spoke, he looked around and said loudly, "I never eat alone. Everyone has a share. Line up according to your rank. Anyone who dares to cut in line will be killed as well!"

The soldiers were all excited when they heard this, "We are willing to swear allegiance to General Yuwen until death!"

General Yuwen Chengdu has a lot of faults, but his good point is that he never eats alone. When there is good thing, he really makes you queue up and never makes empty promises to his subordinates.

Like the stunning woman in the black-covered boat, these soldiers may never meet one in their entire lives, but General Yuwen is willing to share such a fairy-like beauty with everyone. Who wouldn't be loyal to such a general?

Song Xuan, who was originally talking to Yao Yue about the forces of the Tangzhou aristocratic families, suddenly turned cold.

As soon as Grandmaster Wuque had a thought, the heaven and earth seemed to sense it. The originally calm water surface suddenly became windy and the waves kept surging, one higher than the other.

At the same time, Yao Yue took action first!

But then she saw her jade hand, which was as crystal clear as mutton-fat jade and was brewing tea, gently reached into the fire and held a red-hot charcoal in her hand.

With a casual throw, the flames emitted by the charcoal grew stronger in the wind, and in an instant it turned into a ferocious and terrifying red fire dragon in the air. The fire dragon broke through the air, even making a dragon roar, and crashed into a warship in a moment.

Bang!

The warship that could carry dozens of soldiers was crushed to pieces by the violent force of the red fire dragon in front of countless people. Dozens of people, including their armor, were turned into ashes.

Among them, there was a captain who was at the level of an innate warrior. His body-protecting true qi had no time to react at all, and he was already cooked.

The Hei family soldiers on the surrounding warships had never seen such a terrible situation. They drew their weapons with pale faces, retreated nervously, and stared at the black-sailed boats that were surrounded in the center.

This was not just them surrounding the other side. At this moment, they had a vague feeling that their hundreds of warships were surrounded by that small black-sailed boat!

Song Xuan walked out of the cabin. He looked very young, but in Yuwen Chengdu's perception, as the other party took steps, he seemed to see a boundless abyss spreading towards him.

He swallowed his saliva and shouted, "You bold traitor, killing government troops in public, are you planning a rebellion?!"

Song Xuan ignored him and glanced at the densely packed warships around him.

"You all like to queue, right?"

"Okay, then line them up!"

"No one can be left behind on the road to the underworld!"
