Chapter 97: Leaving the Imperial City and Entering the Instance Dungeon (1)
While Su Mu’s heart was trembling and his thoughts were running wild, the Imperial Advisor had already begun his performance.
“The blood moon is in the sky, and demons are in chaos. The sufferings of the world, to save the world.”
“Good, good!”
The state preceptor’s voice was not loud, but it penetrated everyone’s ears like it was demonic.
He put his palms together with a compassionate expression.
As he chanted, the red dragon phantom under his feet roared and surged. Endless power swept out and swept across the entire city!
In an instant, all the demons and devils in the Imperial City exploded, turning into balls of filthy flesh and blood!
After that, all the corpses, be it humans or demons, started to combust.
It emitted a blue flame that had a strange beauty.
All the corpses were burnt to ashes at an extremely fast speed, and then turned into specks of spiritual light that flew into the sky, as if they were about to fuse with the stars.
However, the truth was incomparably cruel!
Only those with profound cultivation could see the truth.
When these countless living beings were destroyed, they would produce spiritual light. After rising into the air, they would fuse and fuse with each other under the blood-colored moonlight.
In the end, it turned into a fist-sized ball and was kept by the Imperial Advisor.
This was what he wanted!
..
“I underestimated him. Not only the commoners, but the demons he released were also great medicine!”
“Using this method to refine pills, are you really not afraid of heaven’s punishment?”
Scholar Xuanji’s body was trembling slightly, and her anger made her unable to control herself.
Another Qi Refinement expert beside Li Lingyan sighed and said,”
“This person is already about to transform into a dragon. If there really is a Heavenly Dao, it will naturally descend upon him. Is he afraid of the wrath of heaven?”
Hearing these words, Su Mu suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
He probed,”
“Do you know this… Is it a demon?”
After discovering that the Grand Tutor was most likely the Scarlet Dragon Centipede he had encountered in the previous dungeon world, Su Mu had already come up with a rough story in his mind.
The great demon infiltrated the dynasty, deceiving the emperor and fooling the people.
Then, he kept stealing dragon energy and took the opportunity to transform into a dragon.
Who knew that from the conversation of these people, they seemed to already know that the state preceptor was a monster!
Hearing this, a rare look of exhaustion appeared on Li Lingyan’s face.
She sighed helplessly and said,
“As long as you know everything about that person, you will know that he is a demon.”
“But when the pilgrims publicly announced that he was True Immortal Scarlet Dragon, the Grand Tutor of the Great Qian Empire…Who can do anything to him?”
Lingyan Li did not say those two words directly, but merely mouthed them.
But everyone could ” hear ” what she wanted to say.
Hearing this, Su Mu couldn’t help but be stunned.
It turned out that the old Emperor knew that the Imperial Preceptor was a monster, but he still treated him like this!
This… Was this crazy?
It was understandable that he didn’t know that he was a scammer and transferred the money over.
He knew that it was a scammer, but he still transferred the money over.
Who the f * ck was this person?
At this time, Su Mu finally understood why Li Lingyan would sound so tired when she talked about this matter.
Who would be tired of such a father?
..
While Su Mu and the others were talking, Pudu, the national master of Da Qian, made a new move.
He stood on the red dragon phantom and looked down at the world like a god. He said in an illusory voice,
“This venerable self has already swept away all the demons and sent the dead into the divine kingdom.”
“Good, good!”
It was another Buddhist proclamation filled with compassion.
Then, the huge red dragon shadow under his feet rolled up and disappeared from the public’s sight.
After the departure of the Immortal Pudu, countless people who had been ” rescued ” took to the streets and kowtowed to the place where he had disappeared. They were extremely pious!
In the eyes of the world, the Imperial Advisor was the true immortal who saved them from their suffering.
How can I not bow?
Not only did they have to bow, they had to worship the people of the country when they returned!
However, this scene was extremely ironic to Su Mu and the others!
Using the rare phenomenon of the blood moon shining in the sky, the imperial city was set up as a pill furnace, and the demons and commoners were used as two great medicines to refine a mysterious pill.
For this, he had sacrificed countless lives!
However, after he was done refining, the commoners still had to be grateful and treat him like a god!
Was there anything more ironic than this in this world?
..
“Hu! Come, let’s go back.”
Li Lingyan let out a long sigh of relief and suppressed the raging anger in her heart.
Su Mu glanced at her, somewhat unable to understand this woman’s thoughts.
As the Eldest Princess, the best way of life for her was to enjoy wealth and glory in peace.
If he was ambitious, he could fight for power. He might even be able to try being an empress.
But now, it seemed that Li Lingyan had the intention of going against the state preceptor, Master Pudu.
The Sage trusted Pudu greatly.
Going against him was equivalent to going against the current Emperor!
Li Lingyan…What was she trying to do?
Su Mu kept thinking and thought of many possibilities, but he couldn’t accurately guess Li Lingyan’s thoughts.
But there was one thing he was sure of.
With such an emperor, Da Qian was really done for!
Also, Beijing was too dangerous. If he wasn’t careful, he would be treated as a great pill.
Who wanted to stay in this damned place?
Anyway, Su Mu didn’t want to stay!
He had already decided that he would leave Yanjing City tomorrow and see if there was a safe place to stay.
As soon as he found a good place, he would bring Xu Congwu’s family away, away from the troubles in the Imperial City.
..
After returning to the Eldest Princess’s residence, Su Mu hesitated for a moment before finally finding Li Lingyan and asking her a question.
“Is there anyone in Beijing who can deal with the state preceptor?”
Decades ago, the Scarlet Dragon Centipede was already ridiculously strong. How could it be now?
