Chapter 358: Cruel World, the Lord of Longyuan City, one of the five giants in the world The sun and the moon rotate, and several months pass by in a flash. The fierce cold wind whistled sharply, blowing the snow on the ruins into huge dragons that rolled along the snow. The whole world was filled with white snowflakes, like smoke, but not as soft as smoke, and it felt like needles when it hit the face. "laugh--" "quack--" A series of strange noises, like teeth gnawing and pulling something, came from a pit somewhere under the ruins, which was creepy. Soon the sound stopped, and a sound like dragging a heavy object was heard from inside the pit. A disheveled young man pushed the frozen body of a woman out of the cave and stood near the entrance to block the wind and snow. His face was frozen so cold that the skin was ulcerated and festering and pus was oozing out.

In this world of ice and snow, when you are hungry you can only eat the cold corpses dug out from the ruins. Every day when you open your eyes you see the doomsday scene of cold ruins, which is excruciating. rumble-- At this time, there was a slight vibration from the ground, causing the nearby building ruins to shake, and dust and snow fell from the top of the head. "Another earthquake. This is the forty-seventh time." The young man looked stunned, looking at the beam above his head that was shaking more and more violently. This time, he had completely lost the desire to escape. Because this is the ninth time he has changed his residence in the past few months. I'm tired and can't find the feeling of home anywhere. In this case, let everything be destroyed. "Boom" sound! The shaky beam collapsed without any support. The pit that hid life shook for a moment and then became dead silent. Outside the pit were corpses that had been frozen to the point of gnashing teeth. Inside the pit was a corpse with hot blood still gushing out. Suddenly, the cold air seemed to be warming up. The snowflakes falling from the sky quickly melted into rain, and when they fell to the ground, they still carried a hint of warmth. The snow mist in the distance dissipated like steam, and a dazzling little sun like a shrine appeared. The snowflakes in all directions melt into sun rain and fall. This rain is not as cold as the rain on a cloudy day, nor as hot as the hot spring water. It is moderately cool and it feels itchy when it falls on the body. It is like the rain of life, symbolizing hope. The little sun quickly passed over the ruins, and the sacred shape of a huge firebird appeared in the low sky. On the back of the bird stood a tall and burly figure in a red cloak. It was Chu Ge. “He’s dead.” Chu Ge lowered his head and looked at the place where the ruins had collapsed, and shook his head slightly. The snowflakes all around him melted quickly into warm rain thousands of feet around him and fell, turning the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white mist, as if in a dream. It was completely different from the doomsday scene of ruins with no life below, and was like the difference between the heavenly dome and hell.

Over the past few months, he has successfully sacrificed most of the two Yuan ore veins in the Lingzhou Palace and sent them into the Dragon Bell. A small part of it was split into more than ten parts by him and used the Zuodao treasure bag to upgrade it into a high-level acquired divine weapon. He carried it to Qiling Mountain in Youzhou and placed it under the city of Longyuan. It was integrated into the Tiangang Disha Yunmeng formation as the core of the formation power driving the formation. In addition, the resources obtained from several top families such as the Ji family also made him and Long Zhong wealthy. The strange power stored in the Dragon Bell has now reached an astonishing 60 million strands. In fact, because he had already controlled the entire Youzhou and had the right to protect and control the Youzhou dragon veins, many forces from all over the world came to him for support and offered large amounts of precious materials. Among them were some large sects that were willing to offer their depleted Yuan ore veins, which they regarded as their lifeline, in exchange for the qualification to go to Youzhou and obtain a piece of fertile land to settle in. These situations that were unimaginable in the past were the distribution of benefits brought about by his defeat of the Demon Court as the main force of the Anti-Demon Alliance. Today, not only has the interests of the world been redistributed, but the amount of land suitable for survival and cultivation has also decreased, making resources, wealth and people more concentrated. Chu Ge, who controls one of the five dragon veins in the world, is equivalent to one of the five masters of the world, attracting forces from all directions to join him. In the past month or so, he had been traveling between the major states, contacting a few major forces that were trading in partially depleted mineral veins, and personally examining the value of the traded materials. During this journey, he also witnessed many tragedies. In the eleven states where the dragon veins were damaged, natural disasters continued, and there were also man-made and animal disasters. Especially after the climate in many states entered the depths of winter, horrific tragedies such as cannibalism and eating one's own children occurred frequently. While traveling, Chu Ge would occasionally raise his hand and save some people who still had a conscience and bring them back to Youzhou. In his view, this is not only a simple task, but also a practice to purify his soul and strengthen his will. The closer we get to the end of the world, the more realistic, cold, cruel and dark people's hearts become. If you are still in a low position and are weak, then it is fine to do so. Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. But since you have the strength to look down on the world, you don't have to embark on the cold and dark path, but always stick to your original intention and character. Only in this way can you go further on the path of martial arts, and the power of your mind will become more tenacious and pure. Only because we have a bottom line in our hearts and principles to uphold, we have this tenacious power to keep things under control. At this time, the distant horizon began to undulate like slight lake waves, and bursts of "crackling" sounds were like muffled thunder rolling rapidly from far to near, raising a trail of smoke and snowflakes, like thousands of white tornadoes rolling up into the sky. Chu Ge looked around, a flash of light appeared between his eyebrows, and the power of the supreme god condensed into eagle eyes. He quickly determined that this area was a place where life was extinct. He waved his hand, and the Fire Skylark King stretched his neck and chirped, then flapped its wings and scattered pieces of fire rain, breaking through the wind and snow and flew away. Fengzhou, Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect. The steep and dangerous cliffs seem to be so high that you can't see the top. They are majestic and upright, like a pair of magic spears stuck in the earth. On the other side is a bottomless valley, empty and gloomy. Looking down, it is terrifying. At this time, the cold wind shook the branches, howling and raging, and snowflakes flew in the air like torn cotton wool, drifting aimlessly between the cliffs. In such a harsh climate, there are many buildings surrounded on the cliffs of several mountains, such as hanging towers built on the mountains. Even if there is an earthquake, these buildings cannot be shaken unless the mountain collapses. At this time, these several steep mountains with buildings were decorated with lights and colorful flags everywhere. On top of one of the cliffs, there was a mountain path that was as faint as lightning in the sky. At this time, the mountain path was already covered with a blanket as gorgeous as flames, as if it was a mountain path burning with fire in the cold weather.

Many disciples of the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect held spears with torches on the tips of their spears, forming a guard of honor like a fire dragon, and prepared to welcome the arriving distinguished figure with the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect's highest standard Fenghuo Divine Road. Cao Menghan, the leader of the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect, stood upright with a solemn expression on his face as he led the team on the mountain road and waited in person. Even in such a cold moment, with his great concentration, his palms were sweating. On the side, the two elders who had gone to Longyuan City to seek justice for the Grand Elder Jing Shichang in the past were both naked, with thorns on their backs, asking for forgiveness. "Look at the time, it should be almost time." Cao Menghan frequently looked up at the distant sky, feeling tense. Even if he met the head of the Huyan family in the past, he was calm and would not belittle his own elders. But this one was different. Not only did he have a grudge with the Wind and Fire Divine Spear Sect in the past, but now he is known as the second strongest person in the world, and it is just around the corner for him to become the strongest person in the world in the future. After all, this is the genius who has cultivated to the ultimate perfection of the God at the fastest speed in history. His fighting power is even more astonishing. He killed the Demon Ancestor, worked together with the Godmother of Heaven and Earth to defeat the original incarnation of the Demon Lord, and personally delivered the fatal blow. Combined with the concessions made by several top families and the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect to Longyuan City after the war, we can know that he is already the true uncrowned king of Youzhou, and even one of the future five giants of heaven and earth, the world's number one master. Whenever Cao Menghan thought about the fact that the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect had offended such a terrifying figure, he would shudder all over, unable to sleep at night, and unable to find peace of mind. He always felt as if his life was no longer his own at any time. As a last resort, after convening a meeting of elders in the sect, he decided to take the initiative to settle accounts with this man who had not yet remembered his Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect. They would take the initiative to surrender first, offer enough benefits and sincerity to resolve their grievances, and then join his command and enjoy his protection. The Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect is not without other options, such as seeking refuge with the Ji family in Mozhou, the Huyan family in Niuzhou, etc. But that is only temporary. The strength and potential of the Lord of Longyuan City are obvious. If the Lord of Longyuan City becomes more and more powerful in the future and suppresses several top families, and happens to be intolerant of any injustice and wants to argue with them, they may be used as victims or bargaining chips for exchange of interests at any time, and their end will be tragic. Cao Menghan was just daydreaming. In the distant western sky, a much smaller golden sun suddenly appeared. Soon it came closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger, surpassing the sun in the east, emitting scorching heat and spiritual power. "coming!!" "Lord of Longyuan City!" "That is the Fire Skylark King, the great demon king in the late Spirit God Realm as a mount!" "Be careful with your words! I heard that the Fire Skylark King has already broken through to the Perfect Spirit God Realm. Two months ago, Longyuan City even held a banquet, and our sect also sent a gift." Many disciples of the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect became agitated. "Here we go! You all should behave better later. Suffer now and enjoy happiness in the future!" Cao Menghan's expression brightened up, he straightened his collar, and quickly conveyed his message to the two elders who were standing beside him to apologize. The two elders gritted their teeth and glanced at the dazzling sun in front of them from the corner of their eyes. They vaguely saw a blurry burly figure on the sun, and they couldn't help but feel panic and fear. The two men immediately threw away any sense of dignity and shame. Feeling the terrifying spiritual power getting closer and closer, they could not bear it at all and quickly changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees. Damn it! The mount of the Lord of Renlongyuan City is a great demon king who has reached the perfect spiritual realm. It is said that he has several demon king mounts that he takes turns riding. Both of them are only warriors in the middle and late stages of the Spirit God Realm. Even if they are tied together, they are not enough to defeat the enemy's mount. At this time, just kneeling down instead of riding them for a ride would be considered a courtesy.

After a while, the temperature in the surrounding mountains rose rapidly, as if the whistling cold wind had turned into the warm breeze of summer. Under the gazes of fear and awe, the Fire Skylark King landed, and his claws easily crushed the tough rock, leaving a black scratch and green smoke. A burly tall figure with spiritual light all over his body floated out from the back of the Fire Skylark King and landed. Instead of taking the so-called Wind and Fire Divine Road, he landed directly opposite Cao Menghan. Countless eyes that were originally directed at him felt a deep-seated fear and pressure. They did not have the courage to raise their heads to observe the person who was coming, and they all lowered their heads. Cao Menghan also had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he truly felt the pressure of spiritual power conveyed by the young man opposite him who had a warm smile. Even though he was a powerful warrior in the early stage of the Extreme God Realm, he couldn't bear it at all. Seeing the other party's brilliant smile, he felt a chill in his heart and liver, and his spiritual sense kept warning him of the degree of danger the other party was in. It was as if what he was facing was not a person at all, but a bright sun that could explode at any time and destroy everything around it. This is definitely not the ordinary perfection of the Supreme God Realm, absolutely not! Whenever he met Hu Yanbo before, he didn't feel such strong pressure, fear and threat. "Master Cao! This is our first meeting, right? I'm surprised you put on such a grand ceremony to welcome me." At this time, Chu Ge's calm and smiling voice came. Although the tone was gentle, it struck Cao Menghan like lightning, almost making him shudder. He immediately reacted and smiled. "Chu, ah, City Lord Chu, this is indeed the first time we meet. Precisely because it is the first time we meet, Cao attaches great importance to it and will make sure you feel at home. You..." "I don't like being too polite!" Chu Ge interrupted Cao Menghan's polite words directly. Although there was a smile on his face, it was obvious that this smile was distant. "Let's get down to business. Take me to see the Yuan ore vein of your Fenghuo Shenqiang Sect and see its area and degree of depletion." He didn't like to engage in false politeness with forces with which he had had unpleasant experiences in the past. Given his current strength and status, there was no need for him to beat around the bush. Moreover, too much courtesy will make the subsequent negotiations difficult, so it can be directly abandoned. Cao Menghan's heart tightened when he heard this, but he didn't dare to refute it rashly. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then Cao will take you to see it, and this..." He raised his hand and was about to introduce the two elders who were kneeling on the ground and apologizing, but Chu Ge's figure had already passed by and pointed in a direction. "Then let's go. I have already sensed the fluctuations of the Yuan Ore Vein. It should be in that direction." "Ah? Yes, yes, I'll show you the way." When Cao Menghan saw this, he hurriedly followed without even introducing the two elders who were asking for forgiveness. The two elders who were kneeling on the ground and dared not breathe, felt the terrifying and oppressive aura fading away, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. They only felt cold sweats on their backs in this freezing weather. They slowly raised their heads and looked at the two figures that had flown away not far away. Their eyes were blank, and then a feeling of dejection arose. They looked at each other and laughed at themselves. Fortunately, they were worried and scared to death before, fearing that the Lord of Longyuan City would bear a grudge against them and would teach them a lesson. Even if they did not die, they would be seriously injured. Unexpectedly, the other party never even glanced at them from beginning to end, nor did they ask who they were, as if they were air. This experience made them feel completely relaxed, yet also filled with unspeakable pain. Not long after, the Fire Skylark King suddenly flew up amid the exclamations of a large number of Wind and Fire Divine Spear Sect disciples. In the air opposite, Chu Ge's figure flashed and landed on King Que's back, transmitting the message to Cao Menghan.

"Now that we have reached an agreement, I will trouble Sect Master Cao to transport my share of the Yuan ore vein to Qiling Mountain within three months. Your Fenghuo Shenqiang Sect can find a mountain area no more than 200 miles west of Youzhou to settle down and develop." "Don't worry, City Lord, I will definitely get it done!" Cao Menghan's figure floated in the air, clasped his fists, and then waved his hands. Suddenly, the voices of disciples bidding farewell to the city lord could be heard all over the mountains and plains. Cao Menghan looked at Chu Ge's receding back, his heart bleeding. "It's a mountainous area of ​​200 miles. It's on the west side of Youzhou. I have to deliver my own mineral vein to them myself, ah." He sighed, knowing that the situation was stronger than him. Fengzhou no longer has a future, and the Fenghuo Divine Spear Sect must be willing to sacrifice its own flesh and blood in order to achieve development. If he was willing to contribute the entire exhausted Yuan mine, perhaps he could obtain 500 miles of land for development, and the area might also be better. But in this world where all the supernatural powers have begun to fade, his Fenghuo Shenqiang Sect also needs the Yuan Mineral Veins to maintain its future development and cannot bet everything on one thing.
