Boom!

In an instant, the people's anger was completely ignited, their eyes blazed red, and they completely lost their reason.

"You can't even stay still after running away, huh? I'll kill you!"

"He wants to fight us, why don't we take him out first!"

The enraged crowd instantly turned violent, becoming ferocious and charging towards David.

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing this, David's expression changed drastically. He wanted to retort but was trampled underfoot by Zhang Bao and could only watch as an overwhelming crowd rushed over.

"Ah!"

Bang bang bang bang!

Dozens of strong men rushed forward and began punching and kicking David, each blow aimed at his vital points. In just a few breaths, David, who had been wailing in pain, fell silent.

But these people were still not satisfied and seemed to want to vent their anger towards Ashina Tiandu on his lackeys.

"Oh, why bother!"

Zhang Bao sighed and stepped aside to stop them.

However, David, now a corpse, sighed and said, "Gentlemen, please stop. Even if he was guilty, he has paid the price. Please spare his body."

Although everyone was furious, they stopped, after all, Zhang Bao was the one who exposed the truth, so they naturally had to give him some face.

"Since the Daoist priest has spoken, then spare the life of his corpse!" The leader, a burly man, said somewhat reluctantly.

Forehead!

Zhang Bao's lips twitched. What the hell is going on? They spared his corpse's life? This is simply outrageous!

With his eyes closed, filled with compassion, he sighed, "My Way of Great Peace advocates for All Under Heaven, yet I never imagined that my momentary anger would lead to death. It is truly regrettable."

Everyone fell silent, thinking about how the Daoist priest had smashed someone with his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and felt that something was amiss.

At this point, someone spoke up, wanting to know what the Way of Great Peace was.

"Master, I've been hearing a lot about the Way of Great Peace lately. What exactly is this Way of Great Peace?"

"Yes, I've heard of them, but this is the first time I've ever seen a Daoist priest," another person couldn't help but chime in.

nonsense!

Zhang Bao rolled his eyes inwardly. He had wanted to come in earlier, but Ashina Tiandu wasn't stupid and naturally wouldn't let strangers into the capital to cause trouble.

But he wasn't stupid. Entering the warring states of Frostwest under the name of the Great Liang Nation Religion would be suicide.

Moreover, Tiele City was the most heavily defended place in Frostwest. Ashina Tiandu to save his own life.

If it's just about transmitting intelligence, pigeons can fly high in the sky. But if it's about spreading ideas, then it's much more difficult, since people already know about the slightest movement.

So initially, the Way of Great Peace's activities were all on the outskirts, but now that the Great Liang has taken control of this area, they can naturally come here.

He exclaimed, " The Way of Great Peace aims to protect all living beings, advocates for All Under Heaven peace All Under Heaven tranquility, and hopes that everyone can coexist on this earth."

The Heavenly Dao had previously issued an edict stating that some people in the West were disregarding the laws of Heaven and Earth and human relations, acting perversely and causing countless people to be displaced and killed.

This is a heinous crime, therefore Heaven will send down calamity upon the West. I have specially requested permission to come and rescue the people of the West."

Hiss!

They were somewhat confused by the first part of the Way of Great Peace's doctrines, but the later part was concise and to the point: the heavens were actually sending down disasters, which was terrifying.

"The Daoist priest said it's like ignoring heaven and earth and human relations, going against the natural order. Isn't that exactly what he's talking about, our Emperor Bill IV?"

"That makes sense. This guy killed his own father, rebelled, and became emperor. He's a beast. No wonder Heaven is furious."

"This war resulted in heavy losses for Frostwest, and its ultimate fate was also due to his rebellion."

"This despicable sinner has brought us disaster."

The people's faces immediately turned grim. They were already in dire straits, and now this calamity was truly unbearable.

An old man from Frostwest walked out shakily, asking in terror, "Daoist Master, what exactly is the calamity? How many people will die?"

Upon hearing this, everyone narrowed their eyes, eager to know the outcome.

While I don't believe everything, it's better to be safe than sorry, just in case it's true.

"Alas, life is full of suffering!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "I had an expert calculate that this time, Heaven is enraged, and not only will natural disasters be brought down, but also man-made calamities."

When a natural disaster strikes, the earth will inevitably collapse, rivers will flow backward, and diseases will proliferate, causing rivers of blood to flow!

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock, never expecting the natural disaster to be so terrifying; the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth were like the end of the world.

That's bad enough, but then the river had to flow backwards and diseases broke out everywhere. It was just too tragic.

The old man who had spoken earlier turned pale and nearly fainted. He forced himself to stay awake and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, what about man-made disaster?"

"Man-made disasters are relatively simple. The West will face the scourge of war, and countless people will die as a result. There are also villains causing trouble and harming the region, leaving only one in ten people alive," Zhang Bao said with a bitter expression.

Boom!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden earthquake shook violently, and to everyone's horrified gaze, the ground in the street cracked open.

People recalled Zhang Bao's words and couldn't help but swallow hard. Was this truly the collapse of the heavens and the earth?

Just as they were about to speak, someone suddenly looked in the direction of the palace with a look of horror and exclaimed, "My God, look at the palace! This..."

Everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to that direction, and their faces immediately Bai Qi.

The once-massive royal palace was completely razed to the ground and vanished from everyone's sight.

Grunt!

Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard; this was truly an earthquake.

"If the sky and earth have collapsed, then the river might flow backwards too, right?" someone said in a trembling voice.

Everyone immediately ran to the nearby riverbank, their eyes instantly becoming lifeless. The river, which had been flowing slowly, actually started flowing backward.

Thump!

In an instant, countless people knelt on the ground, begging God for forgiveness.

The Daoist priest was right. This was a natural disaster sent down by heaven. It was absolutely terrifying, and countless people must have perished in it.

What about man-made disasters?

Seeing this, a smile flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes. He was about to speak when suddenly a flurry of sounds came from afar.

"This is terrible! A large army from the Great West Empire has crossed the border and is heading straight for us! And it seems that the bandits from the Land of the Far West are coming too!"

Zhang Bao's eyes lit up; he immediately had an idea and sighed, "Look, man-made disaster has already arrived!"
