C704 Rock Spring Village
The turmoil in the three realms because of Gu Yang had begun to stir. Originally, all of the forbidden figures of the three realms had gathered in the Ancient Yang Imperial City, but they were still unable to stop that Demon Lord from harming Gu Yang. If it was not because of that mysterious expert's attack, Gu Yang would have already been plunged into misery and suffering.
After the few forbidden figures stayed in Gu Yang for a period of time, they returned to their own places. Now that Gu Yang had suffered, although the Demon Lord had disappeared, no one knew when he would return again. They needed to prepare for the Demon Lord's next visit in the other two great realms.
At this moment, Qian Yuan Academy had also begun to continuously flip through the ancient books in the Compendium Pavilion, hoping to find a way to deal with the Demon Lord. It could be said that the entire three great realms had fallen into a state of madness towards the arrival of the Demon Lord.
After the few taboo figures left, the three of them took over Gu Yang's position once again. Originally, due to the Demon Lord, the death of the current Emperor of Gu Yang had already caused him to be in a state of low spirits, but now, even the entire Imperial City had disappeared. This was indeed a heavy blow to Gu Yang.
After Jing Hongguang and the others dealt with the situation after the Demon Lord's arrival, they once again chose to trust Imperial Emperor Gu Yang to take the throne, hoping to stabilize the hearts of Gu Yang's people.
The candidate for the new emperor was out of everyone's expectations. Originally, everyone thought that the new emperor would be chosen from Marquis Ling Wu, the First Prince, and the Second Prince, Jing Bolin. However, the final result was that Jing Hongguang, the Almighty, would return and take over the throne of Gu Yang.
Jing Hongguang had been the Emperor of the previous generation of Gu Yang, and because his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck in his early years, he had chosen to give up his position, causing no one to be able to criticize him. Furthermore, the current Gu Yang was in an eventful period, and if the new Emperor's cultivation was too low, the hearts of the people of Gu Yang would not be at ease.
It so happened that Jing Hongguang was an Almighty. It could be said that his ascension to the throne had comforted Gu Yang's people to a certain extent.
Although the situation in Gu Yang was complicated, Jing Hongguang still planned to hold an enthronement ceremony to change the depressed atmosphere in Gu Yang.
Jing Hongguang's registration ceremony was set to be held three months later, and he had already announced the news to the entire three great realms in advance so that many experts from the three great realms would attend. The experts and powers who had been invited by the three great realms also sent invitations, saying that it would be decided in three months, and that even the old monsters who had not left their sects for a long time knew that the current Gu Yang needed such a grand ceremony to wash away the gloominess from before, so they decided to make a trip to Gu Yang at that time.
As for the three great realms in Gu Yang, they had also witnessed the great battle between the forbidden expert and the Demon Lord, and had also witnessed the appearance of the mysterious expert. These scenes had truly impacted their hearts.
They left Gu Yang with shock and returned to the other two realms. As for the whereabouts of Lee Zhuohua, no one cared.
Ziyun Hujingze was also in the midst of the chaos in Gu Yang that day. After that, he had looked for Lee Zhuohua. He was the only one among these people who had interacted with Lee Zhuohua before, but he did not find Lee Zhuohua, nor did he know that the mysterious expert who forced Demon Lord to retreat was Lee Zhuohua.
"It seems that the agreement from that day is about to be revoked. I thought that he would be able to return to the Demon Realm with me. I think that he must be doing something important. I hope he is fine." After a long sigh, Ziyun also set off to return to the Demon Realm.
There was another person in Ancient Sun City who was worried about Lee Zhuohua. That person was Zhao Hanyan. Zhao Hanyan had been staying in the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce that day. Although the Ancient Sun City had been taken away by Demon Lord, many of the buildings still remained where they were. Fortunately, the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce was able to preserve it.
Zhao Hanyan was alone in the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce. He silently prayed for Lee Zhuohua in his heart, hoping that he would not encounter any danger during the turmoil that day.
...
At the same time, in a remote village in the Ownerless Land.
Although the Ownerless Land was different from Gu Yang and did not have the rule of an imperial court, it still had the protection of many supreme sects and countless small sects under it. Although the distribution of power was complicated, it was not as chaotic as it seemed.
In some small places, there were also mortals living, such as the Rock Spring Village under the rule of the Profound Sect.
The villagers of the Rock Spring Village were all honest country bumpkins, and there were no cultivators who could fly or flee. To them, the Profound Sect was where the immortals lived. Many people hoped to join the Profound Sect and be able to cultivate the divine ability of flying and fleeing in the future.
One day, on the peak of a mountain in Rock Spring Village, a bolt out of the blue suddenly struck. After that, a storm started, and the sky was covered in dark clouds, making people feel as if they had been angered.
Everyone in the village thought that it was going to rain, so they all stayed at home and did not go out.
Therefore, no one saw a black figure falling from the lightning mountain.
"Boom."
The figure fell on the mountain and created a loud sound, smashing out a huge pit.
Because the sound of thunder was covered, no villagers were puzzled by the loud sound.
This rainstorm lasted for two days. When the clouds cleared and the sun rose, the sky was clear, and the air was filled with a wet aura that made people feel uncomfortable.
The rain was a gift from the heavens. After the rain, the fields were more suitable for the villagers to work on their farms. They left their village and started to plow the mountains.
Burly was from the Rock Spring Village, so he carried his farming tools to his own hill as usual. Just as he was about to go to his own fields, he suddenly saw the big crater.
"Why is there a huge crater here? I remember that this place was still fine when I came here a few days ago." Dazhuang was deeply confused by the appearance of the pit. Under the urge of his curiosity, he walked over to check it out.
Once he arrived at the edge of the deep pit, he saw that there seemed to be something at the bottom of the pit. It was a black mass, and it was hard to tell what it was.
"What is it?" The honest villagers were not at all afraid of what they were seeing. Perhaps only the wild beasts and the floods could frighten him.
Da Zhuang put down the farming tools on his back and climbed down the edge of the pit. He came to the bottom and observed the black thing at a close distance.
"What the f * ck? It's pitch black." Da Zhuang said and started to fiddle with the black thing with his hands.
When his hand touched the black thing, he felt as if he was touching someone. He grabbed a corner of the black thing and flipped it over.
"Holy sh * t, it's a person?" Da Zhuang saw the real face of the black thing clearly. It was a person who had fainted in the deep pit.
"Why is this big brother lying here? Was it that he got lost on the mountain in the heavy rain two days ago and accidentally fell into the pit? But why does it seem that his body has been burned?" Dazhuang was curious about the origin of this person and did not associate him with the appearance of the deep pit.
However, these villagers were usually very kindhearted. When he saw that there was a person here, he did not suspect anything. He went up to check the person's breath again, and when he found that he was still alive, he directly carried him out of the pit and brought him back to Rock Spring Village.
