Whether the Human Race Karmic Fortune is strong or not is naturally closely related to the people.

Without external interference, the lives of ordinary people and public opinion are directly related to fortune.

If public opinion is not united and the Human Race Karmic Fortune dissipate, then this dynasty will gradually begin its decline.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Fang Zelin and Tianxi got up and left.

As he left, Fang Zelin glanced once more at the Human Race Karmic Fortune above.

"Young Master, wasn't it said before that the Great Qian Dynasty's fortunes would only last a thousand years, and now that its fate is nearing its end, isn't this within the will of Heaven?"

Tianxi was somewhat puzzled. If fate was already sealed, why bother worrying about why it would end or when it would be near?

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin shook his head. "Although it is said to be a thousand-year destiny, if my friend's offspring proves himself, perhaps he can secure even more destiny."

"Do you not know that the heavens divide into forty-nine, with one being omitted?"

"However, judging from the current situation, the destiny of the Great Qian Dynasty is already dissipating, and it will probably perish in a thousand years."

At this point, Fang Zelin couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Tianxi stood there stunned. Was fate, once predetermined, truly something that could be changed?

She thought that once fate was sealed, it was sealed and could not be changed.

But that's not necessarily the case right now.

"Let's go, don't just stand there."

Seeing Tianxi lost in thought, Fang Zelin called out to her and continued walking forward.

He had just heard quite a bit of information from the shopkeeper.

Most of the complaints stemmed from the people's dissatisfaction with the current Great Qian, citing rampant corruption among officials and collusion between officials and merchants.

I've heard that there have been quite a few murders in the nearby prefectures, but they were all suppressed in the end.

These issues have recently caused quite a stir, leading to considerable dissatisfaction among the people with the current imperial court.

In private, the people discussed that public resentment had impacted the human Human Race Karmic Fortune 'Human Race Karmic Fortune, causing it to dissipate.

However, what Fang Zelin felt was somewhat amiss was that these things seemed to be happening far too often.

One after another, and in great numbers.

This situation naturally fueled the growing discontent among the people.

"Does the young master think that the shopkeeper was lying?"

Tianxi quickly followed and then asked a question.

Just now, it seemed that the young master looked somewhat surprised when he heard some news.

"No, it's just that something seems a little off about these things; they're all happening too concentratedly and in such a dense manner."

It's as if someone deliberately orchestrated this.

This was a feeling that Fang Zelin the Unseen.

With his current level of cultivation, he can already discern clues about these worldly matters without needing to calculate them.

Therefore, worldly affairs can hardly deceive him anymore.

"Does Your Highness mean someone is sabotaging us behind our backs? Should we then warn the Great Qian Imperial Family family?"

Upon hearing this, Tianxi immediately asked.

She remembered that the Great Qian Imperial Family was the descendant of the young master's old friend, and they should naturally take care of him.

"If my friend's descendant cannot overcome this hurdle on their own, then my help will be of no use. They will not have the ability to govern this dynasty well, so it would be better to replace them."

Fang Zelin shook his head upon hearing this.

If a dignified emperor is so easily deceived and unable to govern a dynasty, then there is no need for him to remain in that position.

It would be better to put someone else in charge.

Fang Zelin did not believe that just because the other party was a descendant of his old friend, he had to let that person stay in that position forever.

In the past, the prayers were ultimately just for the well-being of all people.

The dynasty lasted for a thousand years, and at least for the past thousand years, the Great Qian Dynasty was stable, and the people lived in peace and contentment.

The cultivators of the Great Qian were able to focus on their cultivation in the mountains without worrying about worldly affairs.

This was the same thought that all of us Daoist friends had back then.

If it weren't for Jiuchuan back then, there would have been another emperor, that's all.

The current emperor is incompetent; it would be better to replace him with a wise ruler.

Otherwise, if a foolish ruler is allowed to rule, the Human Race Karmic Fortune will only continue to dissipate.

"Don't think that just because they are the descendants of an old friend, you must take care of them."

Fang Zelin said something to the other person, then strode away.

Tianxi, who was behind her, quickly followed.

After leaving this place, the two walked together on the official road.

The official road was extremely wide, and there were many pedestrians on it.

However, everyone was traveling by horse-drawn carriage.

People like Fang Zelin who walk on foot are very rare.

Nowadays, horse-drawn carriages aren't expensive, and you can even pay a small fee to travel by carriage.

Although he was preparing to Yingping Peak, Fang Zelin wasn't in a hurry along the way.

Horse-drawn carriages passed by him on both sides, yet he still leisurely strolled along the road.

After the sun gradually set, Fang Zelin and Tianxi finally found a place to stay.

The place to settle down was under a big tree.

Just as the two were starting a campfire, Fang Zelin noticed a lot of Yin Qi rising in the distance.

Tianxi, who was standing nearby, also witnessed this scene. Upon closer inspection, she realized that there was a cemetery in front of her.

"Strange, there seems to be a ghost ahead? Aren't the Underworld Bureau officials coming to take it away?"

Tianxi's cultivation level is now quite high, and she quickly noticed that there were two ghosts in the cemetery, which was why there was some Yin Qi.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving.

As someone who cultivates immortality, there's no reason not to go and investigate since I've encountered this situation.

If this ghost is destined to become a vengeful spirit, then it might be necessary to suppress it as well.

If no one was harmed, it can be handed over to the Underworld Bureau.

"Hey, what are you doing over here!"

"Come over here and get close to your husband! Give me a hug!"

A faint sound rang out in the cemetery.

If a passerby were to walk by, they would probably mutter a curse under their breath, thinking how audacious it is to come to a place like this to seek pleasure.

However, Fang Zelin saw it clearly: the female ghost had turned over and entered her husband's grave next to her.

But when Fang Zelin noticed the female ghost's furtive movements, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You came here and stole my offerings, didn't you!"

The next moment, a slightly annoyed voice rang out.

The female ghost, laughing, repeatedly denied it, but her movements quickened considerably, sucking up all the fragrance from the offerings in front of the man.

"You!"

Seeing the other person's condition, the man sighed and then said in a low voice, "You've suffered so much by following me."

"Aren't we doing great? We can still be together even in death, which is much better than other people!"

The female ghost, however, remained completely unconcerned and replied with a single sentence.

As she spoke, the female ghost looked up and leaned towards her husband, but the huge, empty hole in her forehead was incredibly horrifying.
