Chapter 399 The demon star descends upon the world, and the world is in chaos
After Zhou Heng left Jiange, he returned to Ziwei Palace.
He went to Jieyou Palace to find Wudi Neizu.
The information in the communication was relatively simple and not detailed, so he had to understand the situation first.
"Senior, what's going on?" Zhou Heng asked.
"It's like this..." Wudi Neizu took out a black jade slip, unfolded it, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said: "A few days ago, the star position corresponding to Beidou on the Star Track Chart of the Heavens was suddenly covered with a layer of fog, and we couldn't contact her."
After the star officials and star envoys passed through the star gate to other worlds, their lives and deaths were unpredictable, and their future was unknown. The Star Track Chart of the Heavens was a treasure used to judge the current situation of the star officials.
The star map of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions was drawn on this Star Track Chart of the Heavens. As long as the star officials passed through the star gate to other worlds, the corresponding star positions would light up. If they died, the star position would turn off and show a red light.
But now the star position corresponding to Beidou was covered with a layer of fog, and it lost contact with the organization. This situation has never happened before.
"Senior, your message said that Beidou left a message. What is it?" Zhou Heng frowned.
"It was found in the ruins of Ningyu Town on the coast of the East China Sea." The Five Emperors took out another white jade slip and handed it to Zhou Heng. "She put a special Beidou mark on this jade slip, which can be sensed by the star envoys under Beidou."
Beidou is a high-ranking star official, and there are seven star envoys under him. Cheng Jiangjian himself was once a "Tianji" among the star envoys under Beidou.
Zhou Heng took the jade slip and sensed it with his spiritual sense, but found that there was only one sentence in it.
"The evil god is colluding with monsters!"
"She probably discovered some secret. Ningyu Town is the place where the great demon Canghua is sealed. Is it related to this?" Zhou Heng said in a deep voice, and fell into thought at the same time.
He knew what Cheng Jiangjian was doing on the coast of the East China Sea, but he didn't expect her to go to Ningyu Town.
More than a month ago, Cheng Jiangjian's master Qi Rui received news that the Chunyang Palace industry in Tongyun Prefecture, Jinzhou, on the coast of the East China Sea was inexplicably destroyed, and the masters sent to investigate also disappeared one after another.
So Qi Rui took Cheng Jiangjian to investigate together, and he also fed back news in the middle, saying that the clear clues that had been found were related to the evil masters of Yunxiao Tiangong.
Why did he suddenly go to Ningyu Town, and it seemed that he had encountered big trouble there?
"Lord Gou Chen went to Ningyu Town to check the seal of Canghua and found no abnormalities." The Five Emperors said: "I still have to ask Lord Star Lord to use the authority of the Star Lord to explore the whereabouts of Beidou."
Among the three powers that Zhou Heng announced earlier, one can sense the position of each star official. The Five Emperors wanted him to use this authority to find Beidou.
"This is what I should do." Zhou Heng nodded gently.
At the same time, a purple glow appeared in his eyes, and there were many images flashing in them, as if the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions were hidden in them.
After a moment, Zhou Heng closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again. The starlight disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Beidou is no longer in this world. She has gone to an extremely distant world, and the essence of that world is not low, and there should be powerful people in the world."
Through the control of the power of Ziwei Palace, he sensed Cheng Jiangjian's location, but it was not clear. He could only judge that she should be in that world, and even the specific location could not be determined.
This means that the world where Cheng Jiangjian is now is extremely far away from here. This is the distance in the scale of time and space. In his impression, only the star gate of Ziwei Palace can cross such a long distance.
How did she get there?
A doubt emerged in Zhou Heng's mind.
"It's good to find it, it's good to find it." The Five Emperors' Inner Seat breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and said: "Then should we issue a task and find someone to contact her and help her return?"
The Zhoutian Patrol Division could not get in touch with Cheng Jiangjian, which also meant that Cheng Jiangjian could not return by following the power of the star gate. This requires someone to take the initiative to go over and help her establish contact.
"No need to issue a mission, I'll go directly." Zhou Heng shook his head gently and said in a deep voice: "This is the fastest and safest way."
From what he just sensed, it can be judged that the world where Cheng Jiangjian is is not simple, and there are definitely many strong people. If ordinary members of the organization go there, they may not be able to help.
But there are not many celestial beings in the Zhoutian Patrol Division, and they usually have their own duties. If they go to other worlds temporarily, they don't know what kind of trouble will happen, and it is not suitable to send celestial beings there.
Therefore, the best way is for Zhou Heng to go there himself. With his current strength, even if he does not use special skill cards, there is almost no opponent under the celestial beings, which is enough to solve most of the troubles.
In fact, he has a simpler way, that is, to use the authority of "summoning" and forcibly summon the star officials outside with the power of Ziwei Palace.
But the problem is that it is not only Cheng Jiangjian herself who is missing this time, but also her master.
Qi Rui, the master of Yuqiong Peak of Chunyang Palace, Zhou Heng's senior sister.
If only Cheng Jiangjian is summoned to return, there is still no way to solve the problem.
"Well, this is the only way." The Five Emperors agreed with Zhou Heng's suggestion and nodded, "Does Star Lord need any more help?"
"No need." Zhou Heng shook his head gently, then he said goodbye and left the Worry-Relief Hall and headed for the Star Gate.
This time he did not plan to descend in spirit, but to descend directly in his body.
After all, if the soul descended, it would be too weak at the beginning. Even if it recovered quickly, it would take time. Moreover, he was just beginning to form a Dharma image, and he needed to fight with others to verify his martial arts.
As for the situation where the differences in the rules of different worlds would suppress his strength, it had little impact on Zhou Heng.
The innate five virtues are the root of all laws and all ways. He condensed the five virtues Dharma image. Even if he went to a place where the laws of heaven and earth were completely different from here, he could quickly adapt through the five virtues Dharma, and re-interweave the laws and restore his strength.
Moreover, when he sensed Cheng Jiangjian's situation through Ziwei Palace before, he also explored some information about that world.
The laws of that world seemed to be very close to the stars, and seemed to be quite similar to the authority and power of Ziwei Emperor.
It was worth him to explore it in person.
…
The eighth day of the sixth month of the eleventh year of Ningkang in the Great Wei Dynasty.
The red demon star fell into the wilderness of the East, the purple star in the sky flickered and moved away from the palace, and the Sitianjian died suddenly that night. The 28-year-old Ningkang Emperor Li Zhengchun has been ill since then.
The court and the public were shocked, and the people of the world were in panic.
Families, sects, and state governors were separatist, with the intention of competing for the world. Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism suppressed the spread of the Star Palace, intending to compete for the world's orthodoxy.
The world was in chaos.
…
The dense forests in the mountains were covered with dark clouds, and the stars were not visible. The rain was heavy and the wind was strong.
A strong man was holding a little girl in his arms, and a young woman was running fast with him. His body was full of wounds, and blood was constantly flowing under the heavy rain.
But the man's footsteps never stopped, and he ran desperately in the dense forest, even though his body had gradually lost consciousness, he did not stop.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, escape, escape from here, escape from Suzhou, and only by escaping from here can his wife and daughter survive, otherwise they will surely die.
The young woman looked sad, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the man who was running away with her, and she was ready to live and die with her husband.
The little girl in the man's arms looked only about ten years old, with a delicate and beautiful face. She lay obediently in her father's arms, pursing her lips and saying nothing.
In the dense forest behind the three people, more than a dozen men in black holding steel knives chased them in the night, each of them was extremely murderous, and they were obviously masters who had seen blood.
"We can't let Li Chengyu escape. If this fails, you and I will both die!"
"Speed up, we must make him die in this dense forest, and we must not let him escape from Suzhou!"
"Li Chengyu has been seriously injured. Even with the blessing of Tianjie Star, he can't run far!"
"Let's continue chasing, kill him, we must kill him!"
These men in black whispered while speeding up their pursuit.
Although the quality of their star power is only ordinary Disha level, their martial arts are extraordinary, and with a large number of people, they have full confidence to kill Li Chengyu.
At this moment, Li Chengyu, who had run hundreds of miles with his wife and daughter, was exhausted. If it weren't for his obsession and the blessing of Tiangang-level star power, he would have been seriously injured and died.
But even so, when he fled to the center of the dense forest, he could no longer hold on. He was suddenly tripped by a broken tree and fell directly to the ground.
His wife was also exhausted, and also tripped and fell into a mud pit, and her silk and brocade clothes were immediately stained by mud and water.
The little girl who was originally held in Li Chengyu's arms was also thrown out, but the little girl seemed to know some boxing and kicking skills, and she also retained her physical strength. She made adjustments in the process of being thrown out, and finally stood steadily on the ground.
"Father, mother!"
As soon as the little girl stood firm, she immediately rushed to her parents. Her voice was very small, and only she and her parents could hear it, and it would not attract attention.
"Ahem! Good, good child, good kung fu!" Li Chengyu's face barely squeezed out a smile, and he raised one hand with all his strength, gently touched his daughter's little hand, and gritted his teeth and said: "Run, run! The farther the better!"
"Ning An, let's go, go!" The young woman also spoke with all her strength, persuading the little girl to leave. Her body trembled, tears fell like rain, and it was obvious that she was extremely sad and desperate.
"Father, mother, you, you don't want Ning'an anymore..." The little girl could no longer keep her original obedient appearance, and couldn't help crying, tears rolling down one by one and mixing with the rain.
"Run, run! You will die, you will die!" Li Chengyu gritted his teeth and roared, and at the same time tried to stand up with all his strength, but he just left the ground less than an inch and collapsed to the ground again, and there was no strength to let him get up.
"Father, I will help you up, I will help you up!" The little girl tried to support Li Chengyu, but was thrown away by Li Chengyu.
"Get out! Get out!!" Li Chengyu roared, "I don't have a daughter like you! Get out!!"
"..." The little girl was suddenly struck by lightning, and her whole body froze, and she didn't move in the pouring rain.
"Ning'an..." The young woman was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to explain a word, so she could only say with a hard heart: "Go away! Leave us! We don't want you! Go!"
Pa pa pa!
At this moment, the sound of people clapping their hands came from the dense forest not far away, and then a dozen men in black holding long knives came out of the forest.
"What a beautiful picture of 'Farewell to My Daughter'. It's a pity that it cannot be preserved because I don't know how to paint, and I don't have paper or pen in my hand. It was raining heavily. It's really a pity."
The leader, a man in black, obviously had a much higher status. He stood in front of the other dozen or so men in black, looking playfully at Li Chengyu, who was lying on the ground, and his wife and daughter beside him.
"Cao Guishan!" Li Chengyu almost roared, staring at the man in black, "So it's you. Are you assigned by my elder brother?!"
"It's nonsense. It's clear that as a prince, you don't want to repay the king's kindness, but you intend to rebel and usurp the throne when the emperor is seriously ill!" Cao Guishan sneered: "You should be punished for your crime!"
"You!" Li Chengyu was furious, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness, do you know?" Cao Guishan's tone suddenly softened, full of sarcasm, and he chuckled: "You look like a dog now, a dignified fourth-grade star official, a person blessed by Tianjie Star , It’s really ridiculous to end up in this situation.”
"Bah!" Li Chengyu stared at Cao Guishan, glaring angrily, gritting his teeth, "If we can attract the star realm to come, you are all useless, you will all die, you will all die!"
"Incompetent and furious, since the demon star came to the world three years ago, your star palace has been ruined!" Cao Guishan raised his palm, swung it downwards, and coldly snorted: "Have him hacked to death and chopped into pulp!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, more than a dozen men in black immediately approached Li Chengyu and his wife and daughter with knives.
Bang bang!
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the forest not far away.
It was the sound of shoes on the muddy ground.
"Who!" Cao Guishan immediately frowned and shouted sternly: "Get out!"
The movements in the hands of more than a dozen men in black also stopped, and their expressions were wary.
There was a brief silence.
A moment later, a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a jade crown walked out of the forest. Under the heavy rain, his clothes and hair were not wet at all.
"Your Excellency..." Cao Guishan's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. The rain could not fall on him. This was an extremely skillful use of martial arts power. This person's strength was extraordinary.
However, while he was asking, he had already signaled his men to find an opportunity to sneak attack and chop the Taoist priest to death.
What happened today must not be known to anyone.
"A passerby." Zhou Heng said with a smile.
"Since you are a passerby, you might as well let me give you a ride!" Cao Guishan's eyes flashed fiercely and he shouted sternly: "Kill him!!"
