There was indeed no such thing as a free meal in this world.
As the moon set in the west, the person in the moon bid farewell. Yang Jian stood in the pavilion and stared at the last trace of moonlight. He could not help but feel depressed.
"How nice." Xiao Lan sighed. She leaned against the pillar and curled her right leg, looking at the beauty in the moon. "If I were a man, I would definitely try my best to kiss Fairy Chang 'e."
Yang Jian snappily retorted, "Kiss her? Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?"
Xiao Lan blinked her eyes and immediately understood something. "Did Fairy Chang 'e secretly seduce you?"
"Me!" Yang Jian almost slapped this annoying young master back to his grandmother's side.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan hurriedly said, "Did she show up because she has something to ask of you? What did she promise you? What is it? Could it be … "Young Master Xiao raised his eyebrows and chuckled." She promised to marry me? "
Yang Jian was so angry that he rolled his eyes. "I didn't agree."
"Why not?" Xiao Lan was instantly angry. Her face was full of resentment. "That's Fairy Chang 'e! The number one beauty of the Three Realms. Legend has it that even the Jade Emperor covets her beauty! Why didn't you agree? "
"I'm willing!"
Yang Jian snorted and returned to the stone table to drink. No matter how Xiao Lan asked what Fairy Chang 'e wanted, Yang Jian kept his mouth shut.
Today, Chang 'e came only to ask for Yang Jian's help after he entered the Heavenly Palace.
For some reason, Jade Pool Golden Mother saw Chang 'e as a thorn in her side. She had tried to harm her more than once. It was not that Fairy Chang' e did not want to leave the Moon Palace. Half of the reason was that she did not dare to leave the Moon Palace and could only guard the Moon Palace.
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Jian did not want to go to the Celestial Court to waste his time. He had to look at his uncle's face every day. It was not that he did not want to live in the Moon Palace.
However, he did not make a promise. He only said that if Fairy Chang 'e encountered injustice in the future, he indeed had the ability to help and would not just stand by.
Having received this permission, Chang 'e was clearly much happier when she left than when she arrived.
The Jade Lake Golden Mother was also known as the Heaven Queen. This title was mostly used by the cultivators in the late ancient times to address the Heaven Queen. Nowadays, not many people still use this title.
Why did she harm Chang 'e?
Could it be that Uncle Jade Emperor and Chang 'e really had …
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I'm going back to sleep. Get someone to clean up here."
Xiao Lan turned around and left with an unhappy expression. Yang Jian, on the other hand, was interested. He took out a jade talisman. He could ask Lü Chunyang about this matter.
Lü Chunyang was an important minister of the Celestial Court back in the day. He definitely knew about the secrets of the Jade Emperor.
After the jade talisman flew into the clouds, Yang Jian turned his head and looked at the messy scene in the pavilion. He chuckled and called over a group of soldiers who were patrolling the mansion. Then, he returned to his study.
Chang 'e …
It could be considered as taking a break from the busy schedule and relaxing before the great battle.
In all fairness, this fairy's appearance and bearing were flawless, and there was a kind of holy radiance lingering around her. It made people unable to have any dirty thoughts, but they always had an impulse to make her their own.
Most beauties were the source of trouble.
Just as he approved a few books, he heard a soldier shouting outside the door.
"Report — there's something strange outside the eastern city gate. King Wucheng invites the Prime Minister to discuss it!"
Something strange?
Yang Jian stood up. His divine sense had already swept across the border gate.
In the morning light, layers of black fog suddenly spread outside the city. There seemed to be many figures in the black fog. However, when his divine sense spread into the black fog, he could not see a single person.
In the black fog, the plants began to gradually wither as if their vitality had been sucked out.
The beasts, insects, and birds in the forest, as soon as they came into contact with the black fog, they staggered and fell into the fog as if they were drunk. They aged and died at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dry bones.
Even the dry bones were not spared. They directly turned into bone powder and were swept into the black fog by the wind.
On the east side of the border gate, the black fog spanned hundreds of kilometers, blocking all the paths of the Zhou army's eastward advance. It was still slowly spreading in all directions!
On the city gate tower, Huang Feihu looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy expression.
The black fog kept spreading. In another few dozen kilometers, it would spread into the border gate.
"When did it appear?"
Yang Jian's voice sounded from behind. Huang Feihu heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Yang Jian and bowed with his head lowered. "Prime Minister, I received a report from a scout an hour ago."
"Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
Wei Hu and Huang Tianhua rushed over. When Yang Jian saw them, he immediately said, "You came at the right time. I'll go test the poisonous fog. You guys help me at the pass."
The two of them nodded at the same time. They used their divine senses to probe the black fog but did not discover any ambushes.
Being careful, Yang Jian wore the Unyielding Snow Frost and carried his spear. After flying into the air, he looked down at the black fog and slowly descended.
There was no expected attack. As he entered the black fog, Yang Jian felt his surroundings turn ice-cold. It was as if there were thorns aimed at his Xuan Body and they were shattered by the Xuan Gang outside his Xuan Body.
The black fog could not approach Yang Jian's Xuan Body. Yang Jian could only take the initiative to raise his hand and disperse the Xuan Gang on his fingertips.
A wisp of black fog immediately entered Yang Jian's fingertips. However, after entering, it was immediately dispersed by his Xuan Body and turned into a wisp of essence energy that entered his Xuan Body.
Obviously, the poisonous fog could not harm him.
However, if it could enter his Xuan Body, it would most likely cause trouble for Huang Tianhua, Wei Hu, and the others.
Was it the doing of that God of Plague?
Lu Yue was severely injured last time, but he did not need too much Dharma power to secretly set up such a poisonous fog. With Lu Yue's ability to use poison to spread the plague, he could naturally do it easily.
Spreading his spiritual senses in the black fog, Yang Jian flew continuously and thought of a way to get rid of the black fog.
The fog could exterminate living beings, but it could also corrode the corpses of living beings and turn them into new poisonous fog. That was why it could quickly spread hundreds of kilometers.
Blow it with the wind?
Where would it blow to? This was the place of the five passes. From the Boundary Plaque Pass to the Cloud Pass, there were a total of more than ten human cities and hundreds of villages and towns …
Wait, a big city!
Yang Jian was suddenly alarmed. His spiritual senses were originally only casually spreading in the black fog, but at that moment, he was frantically searching in the black fog.
In a few breaths, Yang Jian "saw" the scene in the center of the black fog.
It was a large human city built along a river. The city wall was 80 feet tall, and there was a colorless flag floating on the city wall. This meant that there were no Shang troops stationed in the city. They would surrender if they did not resist the Zhou army.
In the city, the houses were empty.
The bedding in the room was collapsed, and most of the bedding was spread out. On the street, the night watchmen were lying on the ground. A few empty clothes lay quietly beside the watchmen.
The market with all kinds of ingredients that had been placed long ago was also empty. Only a few withered yellow vegetable slices were fluttering in the wind. Behind every stall, there were a few clothes and shoes piled on the ground …
Yang Jian clenched his fists. If not for his powerful mystic body, he would have bled.
The city was destroyed!
The few towns around the city were not spared either!
At the same time, Yang Jian's spiritual senses captured the location of the other three cities in the black fog.
The four cities were empty!
This was already a bustling area in the South Continent. It was densely populated. Yang Jian did not dare to think about how many mortals such a large city and the surrounding villages and towns had originally accommodated.
The reason why the black fog could not be detected and suddenly reach such a scale was because it had devoured the people of the four cities!
The poisoner must have poisoned the four cities at the same time!
Yang Jian's mind was in a daze. It was as if he could hear countless vengeful souls howling above his head …
"Lu Yue! Get out! "
The angry roar tore through the sky, but there was no response.
Yang Jian rushed out of the black fog and scanned it with his spiritual senses. He rushed towards another large city at the edge of the black fog.
The black fog was only a few kilometers away from the city!
Yang Jian did not lose his mind. He flew quickly and shouted at the barrier.
"Tianhua! Quickly ask the elders of the sect to help! "
Huang Tianhua and Wei Hu had already used their spiritual senses to see the tragic situation in the black fog. Their eyes were red and their hearts were filled with anger. However, they could only suppress their anger and send jade talismans to ask for help.
With their strength, it was difficult for them to control the black fog within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. They could only get more immortals of Chanism to help.
Yang Jian rushed to the front of the city and raised his hand to scatter Xuanqi. He wrapped the city walls around the city to resist the black fog.
"Open the city gate! I am the Prime Minister of Zhou, Yang Jian! Open the city gate and accept the people outside the city! This black fog is poisonous! "
With just a few words, the people in the city woke up. Fortunately, the City Lord was not muddle-headed. According to Yang Jian's instructions, he immediately mobilized the army and the people. He opened the city gate and woke up the people who were still sleeping outside the city.
Fortunately, the black fog was spreading very slowly. After Yang Jian rushed over, there were no more casualties.
However, before Yang Jian could heave a sigh of relief, the Golden Crow of the East Sky rose and a deadly east wind blew.
Yang Jian's eyes widened, and he hurriedly rushed back to the sky above the Boundary Plaque Pass. The Profound Qi in his body continuously surged out, and he set up a thin 'membrane' a hundred miles in front of the Boundary Plaque Pass, firmly blocking the black fog that was blown by the wind.
The sky was filled with gray light. The place where the black fog spread formed a stark contrast with the clear world in front of the barrier.
The people in the city were amazed, but they did not know how poisonous the black fog was to them.
"Go and call Li Jing! Use his Exquisite Pagoda to save people everywhere! "
"Go and urge the immortals in the sect. When will they arrive!?!"
Yang Jian gave orders repeatedly. Then, he sat on the city wall and closed his eyes to meditate. He quickly filled the gap in Xuanqi.
He had to be wary of the immortals of Jie School at all times. Lu Yue did not hesitate to sacrifice millions of mortals just to create the black fog. He would definitely take the next step.
To the west of the barrier, several streams of light streaked past and landed on the city wall.
However, the people who came were not the immortals of Chanism. Instead, they were Lü Chunyang and Bai Ze, who had rushed over when they saw that something was wrong. Yao Gonglin and Zhang Boshi had also followed to help.
"This poisonous fog …" Bai Ze smacked his lips. "Jie School is courting death. It's so harmful to the heavens. How much luck is there for them to squander?"
Yang Jian opened his eyes and turned his head when he heard that. He said happily, "Why are you here?"
Lü Chunyang stood with his sword on his back and said proudly, "We should naturally be chivalrous!"
Bai Ze chuckled. "Saving people can earn merit. Merit can nourish one's luck. Can't I come here to earn merit?"
"Thank you, Senior and Brother Lu." Yang Jian bowed with a solemn expression. "How should I resolve this fog?"
At that moment, the east wind was strong. The Xuanqi wall that Yang Jian had set up was still stable. He did not have to worry about the black fog spreading elsewhere.
Lü Chunyang said, "Why don't we use some Dharma treasure to collect it and send it to the Chaos Sea?"
"What treasures can be used?" Bai Ze frowned and asked. Yang Jian rummaged through the Black Turtle Belt. There were really not many treasures that could absorb the poisonous fog.
Even if there were, it was impossible for him to absorb so much.
"Senior, do you have a solution?"
"When I use the array formation to seal the poisonous fog, I'll activate the array formation." Bai Ze waved his hand and a jade token flew into Yang Jian's hand. "This is the array diagram. Take it away. There's no need to thank me."
Yang Jian could only smile bitterly. He cupped his hands at Bai Ze and immediately began to read it in detail.
