Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

Chapter 58: Night of a Hundred Ghosts, Ascending Clouds and Falling Stars

These figures emitted a faint blue light as they floated in the air.

They were all Feng Wu’s dead relatives!

At this moment, their corpses were lying in the courtyard next door.

Had they been resurrected?

No, had they turned into ghosts?!

Many thoughts flashed through Feng Wu’s mind. In the end, his gaze landed on the two soldiers of King Yan who were fleeing. His eyes flashed with dense joy as he gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Hahaha! The heavens have opened their eyes! You bunch of beasts, you really brought this upon yourselves! Even as ghosts, we won’t let you off! Go to hell, all of you!”

At this moment, the two burly men were completely flustered.

They also recognized the gazes of these figures. They were the Feng family members who had just been killed by them.

The person they had killed suddenly turned into a ghost and returned, scaring the two of them out of their wits. They wished they could escape back to the military camp now.

However, they could not escape at all!

No matter which direction they escaped in, they would run into an invisible wall. There was no way to escape!

“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”

“Don’t, don’t come over. We didn’t want to kill you. Our hands just slipped…”

The two of them had already collapsed to the ground in fear. Their faces were ashen as they trembled and retreated. Their pants were wet from fear.

At this moment, an old-looking ghost floated to Feng Wu’s side. The faint blue flame swayed slightly and burned the rope on Feng Wu’s body to ashes.

At the same time, it healed his injuries.

“Father!”

Feng Wu looked at the old ghost with tears streaming down his face, but he did not continue lingering in his emotions.

Instead, he rushed to the side of the two burly men and pulled out the steel saber from one of their waists!

Shua!

Feng Wu’s saber landed on the neck of a burly man.

However, he was not strong, and he was not a professional executioner. His saber was not sharp either, so this slash did not cut off the burly man’s head. Instead, it was stuck three-quarters through his neck!

“Ahhhh!” the burly man screamed at the top of his lungs. Blood poured out of his neck like a fountain. The other man beside him was sprayed full of blood in his face and was completely stunned.

“Ahhh!” Feng Wu also shouted crazily. The bloody spray in front of him completely ignited the anger accumulated in his heart. He held the hilt of the saber with both hands and pulled out the saber that was stuck in the burly man’s neck before slashing down again ruthlessly.

Slash!

Slash!

Again!

Not only did he slash at the neck, he also hacked at the face, head, shoulders, back… In the end, he actually hacked this burly man into a ball of flesh!

Feng Wu panted as his bloodshot eyes stared at the other burly man. His voice was hoarse as it crawled out of his throat. “The heavens have opened their eyes! Die for me too!”

As he spoke, he raised the steel saber and slashed down fiercely!

… .

Tonight, the city of Xiling County was deep and dark. The dark clouds in the sky were surprisingly heavy.

It was as if it was about to press down on the Earth.

As Cui Heng walked on the dilapidated street, he could hear miserable cries or angry shouts. Everywhere he looked, he could see eerie blue flames blooming.

Countless people who had long died stood up again in the form of ghosts and wandered in this suffering city.

Feng Wu’s family was not an exception.

Tonight, ghostly flames danced in the sky of Xiling County, and a hundred ghosts were traveling at night!

Countless people were terrified and pleasantly surprised.

Countless people erupted with their anger, and countless people fell into despair.

Green, red, purple, gray… Rays of lights flew over from all directions and entered Cui Heng’s body.

Gradually, rows of ghostly light began to follow behind him and arrived in front of a relatively grand palace.

King Yan’s Palace!

… .

At this moment, inside King Yan’s Palace, it was still filled with singing and dancing. The banquet was ready.

Wang Tong sat at the head of the table, drinking good wine and watching the dancing girls below.

The few people sitting below were slightly worried.

“Everyone, why are you frowning?” Wang Tong took a sip of wine and glanced at the five people below. He chuckled and said, “Are you worried about Zen Master Dekong?”

“Your Highness, this old monk is indeed a little uneasy.” Zen Master Yuanzheng stood up and bowed, his hands clasped together. “With Zen Master Dekong’s martial cultivation, he should be able to return from Juhe County very quickly. However, he has been gone for a few days and there has been no news of him…”

“That’s right. This is indeed unsettling.” Prime Minister Wu nodded and frowned. “Zen Master Dekong is a Xiantian Grandmaster. Could it be that he has encountered a top Inner World expert?”

“Today, there was a military report saying that a top expert attacked the city behind us.” A military official suddenly said, “Fortunately, there were two expert guards from the Grand Prosperity Monastery and the Lotus Flower Monastery guarding and they severely injured the top expert who ambushed us, preventing a tragedy from happening.

From what we know, it should be the limit for Juhe County to send out one person. It’s unlikely for them to leave another top expert to defend the city. Do you think Zen Master Dekong retreated and ran away?”

He seemed to be looking for an excuse for Zen Master Dekong’s delayed return.

In fact, he was mocking the fact that the martial artists on the sect’s side were unstable and could easily disappear. At the same time, he was hinting to King Yan that he should trust the people on their side more.

Although there was still a lot of progress before the grand undertaking was completed, internal strife was an old tradition. It would not be lost.

“Sigh, you guys really make me worry!” Wang Tong shook his head and stood up. He walked towards the dancers who were about to dance and said with a smile, “Why aren’t you enjoying this beautiful scenery? Why are you fighting?”

However, just as he was about to hug a dancer and play with her, he suddenly saw a layer of strange blue light glow on her body.

Immediately after, the beautiful dancers with exquisite curves and delicate skin suddenly started to shed their skin and flesh. Their eyes rolled down from their sockets.

In the blink of an eye, they had become skeletons with rotten flesh hanging on them!

What was even stranger was that they were still dancing in the middle of the palace, as if they did not feel the change in themselves at all.

“Ah?!”

Wang Tong was shocked and quickly took a few steps back. A dignified Xiantian Grandmaster was actually so frightened that his face turned pale.

Zen Master Yuanzheng and the others below were also incomparably shocked. They retreated one after another, their eyes wide open in disbelief as they looked at the white bones dancing in the middle of the palace.

What was going on?!

“What’s that? Is it a trick?!”

One of the military officials was very bold. With a furious roar, he clenched his fist and mobilized his Xiantian True Qi to attack!

With this punch, wind and lightning roared, drawing a clear white mark in the air. The fluctuation of the Heaven Earth Essence Energy made the entire palace tremble!

Boom!

The martial official’s fist struck one of the bones, but it was unable to break through the dark blue light on the surface. The huge force was reflected back on the spot, causing his bones to emit a crisp cracking sound. Even the flesh on his arm was shattered!

At the same time, the faint blue light on the surface of the bone actually spread along the martial official’s fist and towards his body. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped his entire body.

In the next moment, the military official was completely enveloped by it and turned into ashes that scattered on the ground.

There was a sudden silence in the palace.

Everyone was terrified.

Only the corpse dancers continued to dance as if they did not feel anything.

The scene was extremely strange!

… .

Cui Heng moved his feet again and left King Yan’s Palace.

Earlier, he had used the blue flames to disguise those dancers as the White Bone Temple. At the same time, he had also blinded the senses of those poor dancers, preventing them from knowing what was happening in the outside world.

This was to avoid further trauma to their hearts.

By the time these dancers finished their dance and regained their senses of the outside world, peace should have returned to Xiling County.

After leaving Yan Palace, Cui Heng continued to wander around this city filled with sorrow.

When he arrived at the prison, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly. He pushed open the door and walked in.

“County Lord Yan, what a coincidence. We meet again.” Cui Heng smiled at Yan Sheng, who was locked up in the prison. “Why did King Yan imprison you?”

“Cui Heng?!” Yan Sheng was very shocked to see Cui Heng suddenly arrive here. He said in shock, “Could it be that you’ve already counterattacked and occupied this city?”

Otherwise, it was difficult to explain why this county magistrate of Juhe City would appear in the prison of Xiling County. It wasn’t as if he was captured.

“I came on my own.” Cui Heng smiled. “I came to destroy King Yan’s army.”

“You’re alone?” Yan Sheng was stunned.

“That’s right, I’m alone.” Cui Heng nodded lightly.

“Heh, as expected of an Immortal!” Yan Sheng sneered. “You killed thousands of rebels. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?”

“There’s no reason to let those who deserve to die live.” Cui Heng shook his head. He had traveled all over Xiling County, and there was not a single person in King Yan’s army who didn’t deserve to die.

“Hur hur, deserve to die?” Yan Sheng suddenly stood up. “Tell me then, why did they deserve to die?”

“I heard that County Lord Yan is a general of the Great Jin Dynasty. Why are you exceptionally loyal to the King of Yan?” Cui Heng asked instead of answering. He had heard this from Hui Shi.

“Of course it’s because Great Jin is decaying and will definitely collapse!” Yan Sheng’s face was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and roared, “My Yan family has been loyal and righteous for generations, but my father was beheaded because of a treacherous official’s slander!

When I faced King Yan’s army, I swore to defend the city to the death. The Imperial Court actually sent a corrupt supervisor to my army and embezzled all our funds. After I discovered it, they even falsely accused me of betrayal and turning to the enemy!

In that case, why don’t I directly join King Yan and help him overthrow this rotten Great Jin?!”

“Cui Heng, why would an Immortal figure like you help Great Jin to abuse others? Why don’t you assist King Yan and rebuild the world?”

“This is just my cultivation.” Cui Heng’s expression did not change as he said indifferently, “Moreover, what crimes did the people commit? After King Yan’s army broke through the city, they burned, killed, and pillaged. They insulted women and reduced the number of people in the city by 80%. How is this different from slaughtering a city?”

“Ridiculous!” Yan Sheng became agitated when he heard this. His eyes widened as he roared, “Since ancient times, how can soldiers be forbidden from robbing and raping?!

If we don’t burn, kill, and plunder, how can we replenish our rations? If we don’t allow pillaging, how can we let the soldiers reap the benefits? If we don’t let them sleep with women, how can we appease the soldiers?

Do you expect these soldiers who can’t even read to understand why they are fighting and why we want to overthrow the Great Jin?

We have to give them benefits that they can see and touch. Only then can we fight! This is all for the sake of overthrowing the decaying Great Jin and establishing a better dynasty.

So what if hundreds of thousands of people die? So what if a few million people die? Only in this way can we rebuild the world, let the people live and work in peace, let capable people develop their talents to their heart’s content, and open up a brand new world!

Tell me, what’s wrong with that?!”

“The mistake is that it’s just your wishful thinking. That King Yan doesn’t seem to think that way. At the same time, it’s also…” Cui Heng sneered. “He made me unhappy and displeased me.”

With that, he picked up the oil lamp beside him, grabbed Yan Sheng’s shoulder, and flew into the clouds.

“Come, let me show you what the army that you said wanted to rebuild the world has done!

What is the King Yan that you are loyal to doing?

Then, watch how all of these will be destroyed!”
