121: Cleansing the world of sins (two-in-one)
"Rumble...!!!"
As if the water of five lakes and four seas had been exhausted, it fell from the clouds.
In an instant, it smashed a huge crater into the military camp, and the water continued to surge, waves rolling, sweeping everything away.
Military tents and chevaux-de-frise were all swept up.
Soldiers bobbed up and down in the massive flood, being carried away by the turbulent currents to other places.
At the camp entrance, the general watched the rapidly approaching flood and slapped himself hard across the face!
This mouth of his!
Now he was finished.
He really had brought down the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's Divine Punishment!
If the losses were heavy, how would he explain it to Your Majesty and those nobles?
At this moment, he was still thinking about his official position.
"Rumble...!"
The massive flood surged, close at hand.
The general suddenly leaped up and was caught by the shoulders by a flying Spirit Master, flying into the air, looking down at the soldiers and commoners below.
"Bastards! Bastards! You all go to hell!"
The general pointed at those commoners, exasperated.
The commoners' faces were pale, but none of them were afraid; they knelt on the ground and began to pray.
They all firmly believed that the Azure Dragon Divine Lord would not harm devout Believers.
"Truly a bunch of lunatics!" the general sneered.
In the next second, the flood struck, sweeping away the soldiers at the entrance, but it split in front of that group of commoners, perfectly avoiding them.
Then it continued to flow into the distance!
It was as if that great flood truly possessed spirituality.
The general's whole body suddenly went cold.
If he wasn't afraid now, then he was truly an irredeemable fool.
He covered his mouth tightly, looking around guiltily.
Within his sight, he saw many other places where floods from the heavens had erupted.
"Splash...!"
"General, this is bad...!"
The flying Spirit Master suddenly cried out.
"What's bad..."
The general looked back, only to see a towering wave dozens of meters high suddenly rise from the turbulent current below, the white frothing water striking towards them!
"No...!!!"
The general wailed miserably.
The massive wave swept him and the flying Spirit Master in together, and they never surfaced from the water again.
"Rumble...!!!"
The great flood continued its advance towards Heaven Dou City with unparalleled force, yet it did not harm the plants.
Even the most fragile Blue Silver Grass did not lose a leaf under the great flood; instead, it became even more verdant!
Not to mention the commoners who were protected.
It was completely safe and sound.
They stared blankly at everything around them.
"Praise the Divine Lord...!!!"
"Long live the Divine Lord...!!!"
"..."
Devout cheers rang out.
Everyone bowed repeatedly, filled with pleasant surprise.
Divine Might descended upon the world, and at the same time, it was an act of divine grace!
...At the same time, the great floods from various places began to converge, showing a tendency to surround Heaven Dou City.
Meanwhile, the fiefs of the major nobles outside Heaven Dou City were in terrible luck!
Count Macser's fief.
He was of the "pro-war faction" and had been urging the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to launch an attack on the Azure Dragon Temple.
In the room, he was doing "good deeds" with two concubines, right in the heat of the moment, when he suddenly heard a loud banging on the door outside.
He instantly went limp... "Which bastard?! How dare they disturb me at a time like this?"
Count Macser cursed in exasperation.
He threw on a robe and strode towards the door.
Cursing under his breath, he had already decided that no matter who it was, he would kick them!
He grabbed the door rings with both hands and gave a sharp pull.
"I'll see who..."
Before he could finish, the flood outside poured in, filling his mouth!
Simultaneously, his entire body was floated up by the water.
He was slammed hard towards the interior.
"Ah...!!!"
He heard the screams of his two favorite concubines.
But in the next second, because the current was so turbulent, he slammed hard against the wall, his eyes rolling back instantly as he exhaled a stream of bubbles, clearly not going to survive.
The flood filled the room and carried Macser out again.
At this moment, his fief outside was already a complete ocean.
Those exquisite houses had their roofs covered by the great flood, and many henchmen who had acted tyrannically alongside Macser were thrashing in the water, trying to escape.
But even Spirit Masters were unable to control themselves in the water, and some were even sucked in by whirlpools, making escape difficult.
The great flood flowed out of the fief and rushed towards Heaven Dou City.
Wherever it passed, the crops were left completely untouched, without the slightest damage, not even a leaf falling.
The tenant farmers in the fief came out of their houses and were dumbstruck by the sight.
An apocalyptic flood had swept away the noble's fief and carried off the noble's army.
Yet not a single crop was harmed?
"The Divine Lord... it must be the Divine Lord's manifestation!"
The tenant farmers immediately shouted their gratitude, kneeling on the ground and bowing devoutly.
Their voices rang out loudly.
Even the sound of the great flood could not drown them out... At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, at the highest point of the castle.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and other high-ranking members were gazing at the great floods coming from all directions, rushing and sweeping, roaring as if to swallow everything in the world.
This great flood was like a giant beast rampaging through the mortal realm.
It made everyone feel an instinctive sense of awe.
It was too terrifying!
Sword Douluo's face tightened as he lamented, "In the face of a natural disaster, even a Titled Douluo's power is too insignificant..."
This was also the key reason they felt despair towards the Azure Dragon Divine Lord.
Humans cannot contend with natural disasters!
Ning Fengzhi watched the houses and lives in the flood intently, his heart in his throat.
Because one branch of the flood was surging towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"It's over, it's over... When the great flood arrives, the thousands of years of foundation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be completely destroyed!"
"Oh God! Our Sect would never dare to be your enemy, please forgive us!"
"..."
The Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were all terrified, and those with less courage had already knelt down!
There was no other way; in the face of a natural disaster, no matter what one's status was, there was not much difference!
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly, his eyes flickering with tension and anticipation.
He had already gone to do the High Priest a favor... Surely, they would be spared?
Even if not, he had already sent away most of the Sect's people and wealth.
These current losses were still acceptable.
"Rumble...!"
When the great flood was five hundred meters away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it suddenly changed direction and actually headed towards the higher-status Heaven Dou City.
"Good!!!"
The high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all felt a wild joy as if they had survived a disaster.
On their aged faces, they were all laughing loudly, embracing each other, overjoyed.
Ning Fengzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, staring towards Heaven Dou City, his brow slightly furrowed. "Uncle Bone should be alright, right?"
Sword Douluo sneered and said, "That fellow won't waste his life on the Heaven Dou Emperor. Just wait, he will definitely come back."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, a hint of a smile appearing.
"Thank the Azure Dragon Divine Lord for forgiving us..."
"After today, let us establish a private temple within the Sect to worship the Azure Dragon Divine Lord..."
Ning Fengzhi said.
The high-ranking Spirit Masters responded immediately, not a single one refusing, competing to express their agreement, and some impatient ones even suggested breaking ties with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family... At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen and a group of Family high-ranking members were also on the highest floor.
Compared to Ning Fengzhi, who was still worried about being implicated, he was much more relaxed.
Especially since he had brought the Village Chief and others to the Family.
Could Yu Mengzhang really perform a righteous execution of his own kin?
The facts were indeed as he expected.
Looking around, he could only see the flood flowing in the distance, but it completely bypassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's fief!
Yu Yuanzhen laughed at the sight and said, "It seems evil people are punished by the heavens! Those nobles don't act like humans, and now they are getting their retribution!"
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan produced such a Qilin child..."
"What a pity; if only he could have been raised by the Family back then."
Yu Yuanzhen's smile gradually faded, and he sighed.
If he had known about Yu Mengzhang's Family situation back then, he would have definitely had them brought back.
Although he carried great authority, he was good to his Family members.
Unfortunately... "Old Second, that muddle-headed fool, calculating this and that, in the end he actually got himself caught in it..."
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head and sighed.
At this time, a voice suddenly said, "Azure Dragon Divine Lord... First Master, I remember Yu Xiaogang sent a letter before, saying that the Insurgent Army seems to follow the Azure Dragon Temple?"
Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed, and he looked back; it was a Sect Elder.
It wasn't a big deal that the other party knew this important secret.
"Spirit Master forces cannot intervene in such matters, and it's that bastard..." Yu Yuanzhen subconsciously began to disparage Yu Xiaogang.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang's unsightly behavior at the execution ground had been suppressed by City Lord Xiao and had not spread yet.
Otherwise, with Yu Yuanzhen's temper, he would probably have charged straight to Nuoding City and killed Yu Xiaogang with his own hands!
"First Master, we don't have to support them openly; we can completely provide resources or other help. I've looked into that Insurgent Army, and they are capable of succeeding..."
This Elder also knew that the Azure Dragon Divine Lord was sweeping away the nobles there.
It created an excellent environment for the Insurgent Army.
The right time, the right place, and the support of the people... the Insurgent Army occupied almost all of them.
"Furthermore, they want to overthrow the nobles. First Master, we can certainly try to invest!" the Elder said excitedly.
"This..."
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes flickered; he was truly moved.
Of course, it wasn't because of Yu Xiaogang, but the Azure Dragon Temple behind the Insurgent Army.
Especially now that the Azure Dragon Temple had created such a massive flood, showing no regard for the Heaven Dou Empire... At this time, for thousands of miles around, it was almost all a great flood, as if a whole sea had been moved up, yet it did not harm the innocent.
In the sky above, Tang Xiao grabbed Tang Yuehua's shoulders, looking down at the scene below.
Tang Xiao's face was pale; in this natural disaster-like situation.
Even he could only feel powerless!
Don't even think about contending with it!
Tang Yuehua glanced at Tang Xiao and pursed her lips, saying, "Now does Big Brother know why I wanted you to show goodwill to the High Priest?"
Tang Xiao nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "In the future, whatever my sister asks me to do, Big Brother will absolutely not have the slightest hesitation!"
Tang Xiao was incredibly afraid; this was too damn terrifying!
If he hadn't listened to Tang Yuehua back then and had even targeted the Azure Dragon Temple instead, then the grass on the Clear Sky Sect's graves would probably be growing tall by now!
Never mind that the Clear Sky Sect was on a mountain; you couldn't even hide in the sky!
He had just seen with his own eyes a noble hiding in a high tower, only for a hundred-meter-high wave to suddenly rise... How the hell can a flood kick up such a high wave? Is that even logical?!
It was completely aimed at taking lives.
Seeing Tang Xiao like this, the corners of Tang Yuehua's mouth curled up slightly.
This was exactly the effect she wanted!
Otherwise, if those stubborn people from the Clear Sky Sect were in charge in the future, who knows when they would do something stupid!
"From now on, we can have the Clear Sky Sect believe in the Azure Dragon Temple..."
Tang Yuehua took the opportunity to suggest.
"Believe! We must believe! If anyone dares not to believe, I, your big brother, will take the Clear Sky Hammer and deal with them!"
Tang Xiao nodded repeatedly!
...Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
An urgent report from the City Guard Commander was quickly delivered to the Imperial Court.
"Urgent report...!!!"
"A flood has descended from the heavens outside Heaven Dou City and is surging towards us!"
Emperor Xue Ye and the officials, who were in the middle of a court session, were all dumbfounded upon hearing this absurd news.
No, the weather has been favorable this year; where did a flood come from?
Besides, there are no large rivers around Heaven Dou City?
How could it be... Bone Douluo suddenly turned into an afterimage and flew out of the palace.
Moments later, he returned.
Emperor Xue Ye and the officials had already finished listening to the description and were still uncertain.
"Mr. Gu, is it true outside..." Emperor Xue Ye swallowed and asked hesitantly.
Bone Douluo's face was extremely grim as he nodded heavily.
"That's right. A flood has descended from the sky and has completely surrounded Heaven Dou City. It's estimated that in about fifteen minutes, it will come pouring in."
Bone Douluo's words instantly dispelled everyone's hopes.
Emperor Xue Ye said sheepishly, "But Heaven Dou City is on high ground?"
"That great flood is already nearly thirty meters high, and it seems to possess spirituality..." Bone Douluo looked at Emperor Xue Ye meaningfully.
He might as well have said directly that this was not a natural disaster, but a Divine Punishment!
Bone Douluo's scalp was also feeling a bit numb; should he just run now?
To avoid being misunderstood by the Azure Dragon Divine Lord.
If the Divine Lord really thought he was going to protect Emperor Xue Ye to the death and struck him down, what then?
He hadn't lived long enough yet!
"This... this..." Emperor Xue Ye held his forehead, his face pale.
Last time the High Priest appeared, he dared to directly destroy half of the Imperial Palace.
Now that he came with a great flood, was he going to directly destroy Heaven Dou City?
Bone Douluo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, are you the real Your Majesty?"
Emperor Xue Ye was stunned and said in surprise, "What does Mr. Gu mean by this?"
Bone Douluo said directly, "I suspect you are a body double for Your Majesty."
"!!!"
A sudden commotion broke out within the Imperial Court.
The nobles began to explode with anger; if a body double was going to live and die with them, they wouldn't stand for it!
"Your Majesty, please answer Mr. Gu's question!"
"We share honor and disgrace with you; you cannot deceive us!"
"..."
Emperor Xue Ye said hurriedly, "Stop talking about this! First, go up to the Star-Plucking Tower! That is the tallest and strongest building. All you ministers shall come with me... and watch the winds of change."
He hurriedly turned around and had the Palace Soul Masters escort him away.
The nobles all chased after him, still questioning him.
A sharp light flashed in Bone Douluo's eyes; since he wasn't the real deal, he would just put on a show later and then make a run for it!
Go against the Azure Dragon Divine Lord?
He wasn't crazy enough for that!
"Should I just prepare a white flag...? Surrendering to a god isn't shameful." Bone Douluo pondered.
