The Flame of Vengeance

Chapter 342 The Flame of Vengeance

Tianji Pavilion, conference room.

A group of Tianji Pavilion elders headed by Qisu sat around the simple round table.

In the center of the round table is a huge magic weapon like a sand table.

The entire situation in Shangyuan was restored in this huge sand table based on information from all over the world.

It is also because of this that the well-planned Tianji Pavilion can intuitively see the entire situation in Shangyuan from thousands of miles away.

However, at this moment, all these preparations seemed to have become a joke.

After the heaven and earth mutation occurred just now, pieces of information came from various regions of the Shangyuan world at a rapid speed.

The contents are similar—they all say that the raging steel monsters were all turned into nothingness in an instant, without a single trace left.

This extremely strange situation made this group of elders who had experienced countless storms and waves whose ages add up to the entire history of Shangyuan Humanity feel at a loss.

In the deathly silence, an elder with gray hair and almost missing teeth broke the silence and murmured in disbelief,

"The knot... it's over?"

At the same time, many elders looked at each other and nodded blankly.

Then, an uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.

But after the ecstasy, they suddenly remembered one thing.

"I don't know if everyone has noticed—the endless natural disasters just now came here..." Elder Tianshu said suddenly.

Like a discordant episode, the expressions on everyone's faces froze suddenly.

From the entire mutation process just now, everyone can guess what happened.

——It should be some kind of existence that erased those steel monsters in an instant, and this action once caused disasters in the world, although it was finally shouted back.

And if the catastrophe was really directed at the Tianji Pavilion, one can draw a conclusion—the existence of the tampered with the Tianji is in the Jiangzhou Tianji Pavilion.

"Is it... the Master?"

At that moment, a name appeared in the minds of many elders, and expressions of incomparable horror appeared on their faces.

As the elders in the core power circle of Tianji Pavilion, in fact, they don't know much about Master Shifang.

All I know is that the old man has inherited the mantle of heavenly secrets, has insight into fate, and is extremely miraculous.

But... can he even do the horrible thing just now?
Just when everyone was wondering, snow fell without warning on the bright morning sky outside the window.

In the void, all the cries suddenly sounded, continuous and extremely sad...

Such a change shocked many elders.

The sun is flying and the snow is blowing, the heaven and the earth are crying... This is not a sign of any happy event.

Qisu immediately opened the door and walked out to Li Qingyun's room.

As soon as the door was opened, an old man was seen sitting at the table with a smile on his face, as if in a dream.

In front of him, a young man in white knelt down on the ground, his face pressed against the floor, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But the faint sobs and his slightly trembling body could still tell some clues.

Such a scene, like a shocking thunder, exploded in the hearts of Elder Tianshu and the others.

Master Shifang... is dead?
At that moment, it was as if the sky was falling, and the elders who came behind were horrified!
These hard-hearted elders who hadn't changed their color even when the Heavenly Court was revived and the Iron Calamity came, almost fainted at this moment!
A look of deep sorrow appeared in Elder Kai Yang's eyes, and he was about to call Li Qingyun.

Yuheng stopped him, shaking his head slowly.

Therefore, many elders bowed deeply in front of the door, but did not enter the room, and then retreated slowly.
.
Zhongzhou.

The dark army of Great Xia is scattered among the broken mountains and rivers. They hold their weapons high, condensing majestic aura, and are preparing to fight bloody battles with those steel monsters.

But at a certain moment, something strange happened in an instant—the enemy in front of him suddenly disappeared.

On the entire battlefield, the raging steel monsters seemed to have been wiped away by some inexplicable force, and completely disappeared.

Such a strange scene made many iron-blooded soldiers completely unable to react.

Above the sky, Wang Chunyun and Wu Guang were also stunned in the air.

The unruly prodigal son murmured,
"The knot... it's over?"

"It seems, yes." As one of the Three Emperors, Wu Guang has survived from the Heavenly Court to the present, what big scene has he not seen?
But one thing to say, he had never seen this scene today.

The deformed monster, which was enough to threaten the entire human world, was erased like a child's play...

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Wu Guang only felt chills in his heart.

——This is a power that he can't understand at all.

In the rest of Shangyuan, the reactions of many cultivators of humanism were similar.

In the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe, there is a trace of horror and heart palpitations.

Eastern border.

Since the conversation between Fengmu and Jiangnan has always been passed on to Li Yuan and others, in the eyes of Li Yuan and others, Jiangnan and Fengmu have been silent since the change happened that day.

It's like it's fixed.

"Brother Jiang?"

Li Yuan yelled with some concern, "This...what's going on?"

"Not only are those monsters gone, but I...seem not to feel the restlessness and tyranny anymore."

His voice awakened Jiangnan.

The latter sighed and threw the long sword back to Li Yuan, "Brother Li, there is good news and bad news."

"The good news is—you don't have to die."

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is—someone died."

Jiang Nan shook his head lightly, "Brother Li, now that the disaster is over, I won't stay any longer, see you by fate."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan and many Taiyi Holy Land cultivators were left behind with a dazed face, and left in the air.

On the way back.

Jiang Nan turned his head to look at Fengmu, who was not in a good mood, "The old man...is he really dead?"

"It was the real dragon who sent the message to the concubine."

Fengmu nodded lightly, and added, "Thousands of thousands of years, he has never said anything wrong."

Jiangnan was silent and had no more words.

Along the way, the two passed by in the clouds.

On the devastated land, broken cities and the corpses of cultivators and people can be seen everywhere, and the bleak blood looks like scars that have penetrated deeply into the earth.

Countless people were displaced, cultivators shed blood on the battlefield, and cities collapsed and shattered...

It can be described as shocking.

When I returned to Jiangzhou, it was already afternoon.

On the land of Jiangzhou, countless displaced people gathered together and were temporarily resettled by the deacons and handymen of Tianji Pavilion, and distributed tents, food and water.

Even when the disaster broke out, Jiangnan's response was quite fast, almost suppressing those deformed monsters with lightning speed.

However, most of the dozens of large cities in Jiangzhou completely collapsed under the ravages of steel monsters. Countless people either turned into monsters or died at the hands of monsters. The surviving people also lost their shelter.

As for the rest of Shangyuan, where the response was relatively slow, the trauma suffered was even more self-evident.

It is foreseeable that although the disaster that swept through Shangyuan Humanity lasted for just over a day, the trauma caused to the entire Humanity would take even a hundred years to heal.

Tianji Attic, top floor.

Jiang Nan stepped into Li Qingyun's room unimpeded all the way. After opening the door, he saw the scene he least expected to see.

——The Venerable Master Shifang sat withered, his body was completely icy cold, without a trace of vitality.

And Li Qingyun sat at the table, silent.

It wasn't until Jiangnan pushed the door open that he raised his head belatedly, with a perfunctory smile on his face that people couldn't bear to see, and greeted "Your Majesty".

Then, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, he spoke softly,
"I heard that all the monsters died, and the infected people who didn't break out have recovered. It's a blessing in misfortune..."

"My lord, would you like some wine?"

After all, he took out a jug and three cups from nowhere, put them on the table, and poured a cup for Jiangnan and himself.

When the last cup was full, he gently pushed it in front of Venerable Shifang.

Jiang Nan glanced worriedly at Li Qingyun who seemed to be normal.

In fact, he wanted the guy to cry heartbreakingly.

In that way, at least there is still salvation.

But the current state of this mysterious man made Jiangnan feel that it would be useless to punch him again, or even blow his head off with a hammer.

th.

"Oh, by the way, this is a letter from the teacher."

Li Qingyun took out an envelope from the conversation and handed it to Jiangnan, with "Zhenxi Wang Qi" written on it.

After Jiang Nan took it, he didn't open it immediately, but put it in his arms.

"At first, I was really taken aback."

After Li Qingyun took out the envelope, he picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and sighed,

"I have been in Tianji Pavilion for so many years, and I have never had such a big mistake. I even thought that humanity might really be subverted."

"Thanks to the teacher, the teacher saved humanity."

Li Qingyun, who was obviously impossible to get drunk from any strong alcohol from the perspective of his realm, drank two glasses, his face was flushed, and his body stinks of alcohol.

When Jiangnan was silent, he was still rambling on,
"The teacher is so kind. He saved me who was lonely and lonely more than ten years ago. For more than ten years, he has taught me the art of divination and calculation. After more than ten years, he has cleaned up the mess for me... Teacher, I am ashamed of my disciples, I respect you A glass."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his wine glass and headed in the direction of Master Shifang.

The old man with closed eyes turned a deaf ear to the attentive disciple.

Li Qingyun was stunned for a while, and said doubtfully:

"Teacher, why don't you speak?"

"teacher?"

Under the setting sun, an extremely strange scene took place in the room.

The drunken young man was puzzled by the cold corpse.

Jiang Nan couldn't bear to turn his head away.

Although this disaster was indeed triggered by the "sample" dissected by Tianji Pavilion, there is nothing wrong with this act itself.

In addition, at the beginning, the dormant period of the metal minerals that caused the distortion lasted for several months.

What was thought to be an opportunity to understand the enemy turned out to be a trap.

Who the hell would have thought?

Even taking ten thousand steps back—even if Tianji Pavilion does nothing, those "samples" falling on the land of Shangyuan will also cause disaster.

Humanity lost this time, it can only be said that the enemy is too treacherous.

But Li Qingyun always believed that it was himself who gave the "dissection order" that caused the disaster.

After Jiang Nan punched him dry, he regained his strength.

However, fate seemed to have made a joke, and the next moment, his mentor Shifang Master died of a disaster.

It became the last straw that crushed Li Qingyun.

As a result, this mysterious person who had hidden behind the scenes and planned the world completely collapsed.

After a while, he snatched the wine glass from Li Qingyun's hand, shook his head slowly,

"Li Zun, the Master is dead."

After the words fell, all expressions on Li Qingyun's beaming face stopped abruptly, as if frozen.

"Ah...that's how it is..." He was like a child who was at a loss after his dream was punctured, scratching his head, not knowing how to deal with himself.

Jiang Nan waved his hand and sighed,
"The Venerable Master passed away, what should I say, Li Zun?"

"I am sorry for your loss?"

"Can't people be resurrected after death?"

After a pause, he raised his eyes, as if flames were rising from them.

"Or...revenge?"

It was as if a drowning man grasped at the last straw.

Li Qingyun paused for a moment.

Then a scorching and cold light erupted from his eyes, like a will-o'-the-wisp on a winter night. He muttered, chewing those two words over and over again,

"revenge?"

"revenge?"

"revenge!"

At that moment, like rebirth, the young man opened his eyes wide.

It's like a beacon for a lost traveler who has found a way out.

Face up to everything, embrace the pain, crush all the confusion and weakness, and be reborn in the fire called sadness.

Thus, the awe-inspiring killing intent, ten thousand times colder than the cold winter, pierced through the bones!

The young man who knelt in front of the old corpse swears in a low voice in the whistling wind and snow.

He said, "I'm going to kill them."

"The source of disasters, the instigator of all misfortunes, and the alien monsters waiting for opportunities."

"When they step into tens of thousands, I will... kill them!"

In the silence, Jiang Nan let out a long breath of turbid air, and his heart fell to the ground with a stone in his heart.

Now that Master Shifang has fallen and humanity is devastated, if even Li Qingyun, who is the only one who has mastered the method of divination, is also devastated, then it will be really difficult.

Fortunately, after a short period of confusion, the mysterious man regained his strength.

Although the way may not be right.

But who cares?
There is no difference between being awakened by the crowing of the cock and being awakened by the sound of the suona.

The important thing is to wake up.

Jiang Nan looked at the sky outside the window with cold eyes.

A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, the natural law of the world, as it should be.

The existence of extraterrestrials brought disasters of destruction, but did not destroy the humanity of Shangyuan.

The survivors will be their disaster.

but……

"It's not good for the human nature that is on the verge of being broken." Jiang Nan shook his head, looking at Li Qingyun, who seemed to be reborn,

"The Venerable Master passed away, and the important task of taking charge of the secrets and revitalizing the human way will be entrusted to you, Li Zun."

Li Qingyun stood up, bowed deeply to Jiangnan, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my lord, I lost my temper again. But I swear on my life—this is ugly, and it will never happen again."

After all, he summoned many elders and deacons of Tianji Pavilion, held a meeting, and issued orders.

Although there was a brief period of confusion, Li Qingyun, who came to his senses, immediately showed an outrageous outlook on the overall situation and political talent.

Following the order after order, the human nature that suffered heavy losses in the disaster, like a huge machine, slowly began to operate - to bury the lost bodies of the victims to avoid corpse changes, gather the remaining people and cultivators, soothe the hearts of the people of the world, and prepare the remaining battles. force……

Although it is impossible to achieve overnight, it is a good thing that the most difficult first step has been taken.

Seeing this scene, Elder Tianshu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They have witnessed Li Qingyun's growth with their own eyes, so they naturally know it - although this talented young man has reached an unimaginable level in divination.

But after all, he is still young, and has been under the care of Master Shifang, and has never experienced real wind and rain.

This disaster and the death of Master Shifang are the difficulties he must face.

If you step forward, the sea and the sky will be brighter; if you fail to pass, you will be devastated and fall into mediocrity.

But now it seems that it should be the former.

When the meeting ended, it was already late at night, Li Qingyun took a deep breath,

"Finally, I have two things to say."

"First, yesterday morning, in order to solve the difficulties of the human world, the teacher turned into a heavenly secret, exhausted his vitality, and unfortunately passed away."

After the words fell, except for some elders who had known about it for a long time, most of the others were dumbfounded.

Noisy clamor and frightened whispers resounded throughout the Tianji Attic.

I can't believe it, I can't accept it, I'm at a loss...

And so on.

It wasn't until half an hour later that most people calmed down a little in fear.

Li Qingyun looked at them quietly, and waited until the crowd was quiet before holding back his mouth.
"Secondly, according to the teacher's entrustment before his death, I invite all the members of the Council of Elders to witness together, and name Tianji to the West King of Daxia Town——Jiangnan."

After finishing speaking, he turned around first, and said loudly, "The chief of the council of elders, Li Qingyun, pay my respects to Tianji!"

Until then, Jiang Nan, who had been fishing from the sidelines during the meeting just now, suddenly woke up.

After understanding what Li Qingyun said, he slowly asked questions.

People are numb.
