The ocean water rose gradually, and the moon hanging on the distant horizon looked lower.
The monkeys screamed shrilly in the forest and threw coconuts, but they couldn't hit many rocks.
The tides made the coconuts and the leftover coconut shells even messier. It was unclear what the numbers would become and how many days were left.
"The Zhongzhou School didn't exist when I ascended, and the spiritual sources on the Cloud-Dream Mountain were in a mess. The Unicorn and the Old Dragon were the dominators of one region each. I didn't want to bother with them, and they didn't dare look southward."
Sitting behind the beach, the Grandmaster of Aoyama buried his two shrunken legs in the sand and said while leaning back slightly, "I didn't know what happened later."
The beach on the island had been exposed to the sun for a whole day, so it was quite comfortable to be on the hot sand; but his hoarse voice sounded so cold.
Zhuo Rusui knelt by his side, not daring to be as lively as usual.
Over the last thirty thousand years, the Cultivation circle in Chaotian had two leaders, the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School. Before the appearance of the Immortal Jingyang, the status, resources and prowess of the two major sects were similar. The Zhongzhou School was even slightly better than the Immortal Jingyang, and it had produced a few immortals who had ascended.
"You have always wanted to know where the immortals of the Cloud-Dream Mountain had gone. Let me ask you, how many people have ascended in the history of Aoyama?" asked the Grandmaster of Aoyama.
Zhuo Rusui said with his head lowered, "Seven, not including me and Zhao Layue."
"Why are there only me and Chunyang left?" said the Grandmaster of Aoyama, "It's because they have been replaced by those on the Cloud-Dream Mountain."
According to Zeng Ju, the few immortals in Aoyama had all died in the war between the humans and the Sea of Dark Matter. Unexpectedly, the truth was so cruel and dark.
The two most powerful sects in Chaotian were in a similar situation in the world after their ascension, and they were even more formidable.
Zhuo Rusui lowered his head even more, almost touching the small crabs crawling in the sand.
"The Cloud Dream Mountain is indeed extraordinary. You've seen it for yourself. Tong Yan today … Amazing. She's qualified to be my Aoyama's opponent."
The Grandmaster of Aoyama glanced at him and said, "Yet you still want to plead for him."
Zhuo Rusui reached out his hand to dig the yellow sand and buried the little crab, saying, "I know I was wrong. If I have the chance, I will kill him myself, for …"
He thought to himself, Who should I avenge? Those muddle-headed old men in the Shen family's old residence, or those pork-like things underground, or the flowers and plants by the fountain? It can't be that Bio-Human called Huang Mujin, right? She's the traitor of the Shen family!
"The universe is too big. It's not as easy to find someone and kill them."
The Founding Master of Aoyama's gaze fell upon the bright moon over the sea, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, "If that's the case, I do like the era of the ancient civilization."
Though he hadn't experienced the human society of the ancient civilization, he had heard many stories related to it from the young girl.
It was said that every human in that era had a serial number at birth and a chip implanted at the back of their necks, assisted by a surveillance system all over the universe and a central computer that could observe everything, which was called the Glorious Charter.
In that era, they could easily find Tong Yan, and it was even more impossible for him to leave the Stargate Base and burn the Shen family's old residence.
Unfortunately, that god had formulated a new rule in the later period of his reign. After the human civilization was reborn, the young girl could only exercise her authority under the new rule; and that era couldn't be reproduced.
As for the civil rights, they were in the era of the dangerous Sea of Dark Matter. In the eyes of the grandmaster of Aoyama, it was far less important than the convenience of management and the centralization of power.
It was truly inconvenient for that young girl to have a complete grasp of everything in the Federation of the Milky Way.
For instance, the cocoon breakers needed an independent system for collecting and analyzing information, and they needed to make arrangements for those targets to be investigated in advance.
"The chip can't be replaced, but the bracelets can be forged. The role you've chosen for yourself is indeed perfect; but your last choice is not a wise one."
The grandmaster of Aoyama went on while looking at the surface of the ocean, "Now that I think about it, I haven't been in charge of anything for too many years, and someone has dared betray me."
A light screen unfolded on the surface of the ocean. The scene was a bit messy, looking like a shabby electronic repair shop.
Mister Dan was tied to a chair with a thin red thread tied around his neck. The red thread looked ordinary, but one could sense the dangerous intent exuding from it through the light screen; it was unclear what kind of magic treasure it was.
A chiseled face full of callousness and willpower appeared in a corner of the light screen. Then, the face took a few steps back, exposing his whole body in a military uniform.
Chen Ya had left on the battleship a few days ago after finishing the investigation and interrogation on the Stargate Base. It was unclear when he came back in secret and captured Mister Dan.
Two men in black stood in a dark corner of the light screen, their heads covered by hats, exuding a powerful and cold energy. Like the red thread tied around Mister Dan's neck, they could be sensed clearly through the light screen.
Zhuo Rusui was aware that the two men in black couldn't see him, but he still hid behind the grandmaster reflexively. It was evident that the two men in black were the swordsmen of the demonic sects. Since the humans in the Federation of the Milky Way couldn't practice the magic methods in Chaotian to the extreme due to their physical condition, were they the ascendants?
…
…
The electronic components were everywhere in the repair shop. Some broken pieces of the magic treasure and a dozen fake bracelets could be found in the deep end of the trash-like objects.
This was a repair shop in a corner of a street in the Mingsheng Street.
Mister Dan's legs were disabled. Even though he was an ascendant, he couldn't withstand dozens of heavy blows from the stone man on Chen Wu Mountain.
He sat on the chair tiredly. Hearing the hoarse voice coming out from the pearl in front of him, he thought that he hadn't heard him speak for more than ten years.
"It's not a betrayal. I'm not a disciple of Aoyama." He took two deep breaths and said, "The leaders of the righteous path are self-appointed, and so are the leaders of the human race. You just came out a little earlier and formed an alliance with that computer. Do you think I have to be loyal to you? Should I be loyal to you or to that computer? "
"I told the All in One in the galaxy beyond the fog that I'm the one chosen by god the moment I picked it up," the voice of the grandmaster of Aoyama came out from the pearl.
Mister Dan exclaimed with widened eyes, "So? It turns out that the destiny is to see who is better at picking up trash. "
The voice of the grandmaster of Aoyama rang out again, "Do you sympathize with them?"
"No. They are all stronger than me, and they are all unscrupulous and cruel people."
"Why did you tell Tong Yan where the old house of the Shen family is then?"
"Because I don't like you?"
Having said that, Mister Dan laughed out.
Chen Ya said to the pearl, "He has a daughter, and he's looking for her."
The smile on Mister Dan's face gradually disappeared.
Chen Ya continued, "A few days ago, he said that Tong Yan went to the monster base. It seems to be a trap. I've already asked the Perfected Persons to come back."
"That's it."
The voice of the grandmaster of Aoyama sounded a bit tired.
Then it stopped.
After a moment of silence, Mister Dan said, "I know it's meaningless to beg for mercy."
Chen Ya said expressionlessly, "If Tong Yan can use your daughter to threaten you, so can I."
Mister Dan said, "Give me a cigarette. Let me think."
Chen Ya rummaged around the table and found a half-pack of cigarettes. He took one out and put it in his mouth. Then he clumsily lit the lighter.
"You don't know any fire-elemental martial arts? She's not as good as Jing Jiu and the others. That little girl asked me to make a fake card for the library when she first moved to the Mingsheng neighborhood, and the way she lit my cigarette was so skillful … I could tell she had suffered a lot. "
Mister Dan took two deep puffs. The red dot on the tip of the cigarette moved up and down as if it was nodding.
Chen Ya said, "I can learn it."
Mister Dan said, "You've been with Immortal Chunyang for so many years. What have you learned?"
Chen Ya said after a moment of silence, "Have you made up your mind?"
With the cigarette in his mouth, Mister Dan said carelessly, "You all want to use my daughter to threaten me, but I suddenly thought of a way not to be threatened."
Chen Ya's expression changed slightly. He said, "No."
Before he said anything, his hands were already on Mister Dan's neck, holding the red thread.
Mister Dan didn't dodge. With the cigarette still in his mouth, he looked at the pearl like an old hooligan. His eyes were full of disdain.
Countless strands of divine energy gushed out from his seemingly ordinary body. It broke through his own Taoist barrier in an instant, and then broke through the red thread.
The red thread sensed the change of the divine energy in his body. It shrank inwards at an unimaginable speed, and at the same time, emitted an extremely sharp aura.
With a slight crack, Chen Ya's hands were shaken off!
Everything that came into contact with the red thread was shattered, whether it was Mister Dan's neck, body, or the surging divine energy.
Standing in the shadows, the two black-robed men floated out of the repair shop like ghosts and came to the street. They waved their hands to roll up a foul wind to protect themselves. At the same time, they also set up a Formation Array.
With a slight crack, countless pieces of flesh and blood blasted open the shutter door of the repair shop, sprinkling on the street.
The street of the underground block was paved with stones. It was unknown how many people had stepped on it, but the surface of the stones was very smooth.
Grilled eggplants had fallen on it, and hot pot soup had been spilled on it. Children had passed by on second-hand skateboards, and even been smashed by the golden chain of an arcade boss.
Today, the smooth stones were covered with the brightest and purest immortal blood, and some crystal fragments of immortal bones could be faintly seen in the blood.
The interior of the repair shop was in a mess. The electronic components and fiber paper were flying everywhere, drenched by the blood.
Pah!!! The cigarette dropped down from the sky and fell into the blood, giving off a faint glow like that of a candle, and then faded away.
Nobody noticed that a fake electronic bracelet in a corner was also emitting a faint glow, as if it was some sort of signal.
Standing in the dilapidated repair shop, Chen Ya was covered with blood and fragments of immortal bones.
Looking down at his open hands, he remained silent for a long time.
As an ascendant of Chaotian who was the best at the defensive magic method and had an incredibly strong body, he should have been able to block the red thread with his hands; but three of his fingers were cut off by Jing Jiu in the galaxy outside the fog.
What kind of cause and effect was this? It was true. What had he learned after following General Li for decades?
