In the eleventh year of Jingyun, the Prince Pingshan attacked and captured Youjing City. The Great Qian Imperial Family committed suicide by taking poison, and the once Great Qian Dynasty was destroyed.
In the same year, Prince Pingshan ascended the throne and declared himself emperor, establishing the Shang dynasty.
"In that case, you haven't saved a single one of your friend's descendants."
Yunzi and Fang Zelin walked out together, glancing back at the raging fire, but Yunzi didn't say anything.
Given the situation just now, if Fang Zelin hadn't intervened, the entire Great Qian Imperial Family family would likely have been buried in some desolate place.
At that point, it really could affect the people of the Jiuchuan lineage.
So in the end, Fang Zelin burned the other person's body to prevent what would happen next.
" The Great Qian Imperial Family family has already multiplied to countless branches, so losing this one branch won't really have any impact."
"Besides, they were sacrificing their lives for their country, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin calmly replied with a single sentence.
Even if Jiuchuan witnessed such a scene, he probably wouldn't think his descendants had done anything wrong.
On the contrary, he should be quite pleased.
At the very least, their descendants did not grovel or submit to others.
As an emperor, one must act like one.
"If that's the case, then it does seem to be true."
After pondering for a moment, Yunzi nodded slightly and then asked, "So what's next? What are your plans? Are you going to the City God?"
"No need. When we get to the City God, the City God will determine Yin Merit scrolls. What would it look like if I went there?"
Fang Zelin shook his head, indicating he had no intention of going to the City God.
As for what the next steps are.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Zelin said, "There are still many demons around, so let's wander around. If we see any demons that are causing trouble for the world, we should capture them."
The Prince Pingshan to the throne was a rather lengthy process.
For example, the other party's subordinates would definitely choose an auspicious day.
This point is, frankly, very important.
Just like Jiuchuan back then, his subordinates also kept choosing auspicious days and times.
They also had to choose a name for the country, ensuring it was in accordance with the will of Heaven and the principle of succession.
This process was extremely complicated. Even though Prince Pingshan had already conquered Youjing City, there was still a lot to be done.
Furthermore, there are still numerous rebellions in various regions.
It will take considerable time to quell these troubles.
It's likely that the other side also planned to completely pacify the world before ascending the throne.
Unfortunately, all the surrounding dynasties had already extended their reach.
At this moment, Fang Zelin was gazing at the distant Human Race Karmic Fortune, and he could see it.
Much of the fortune that originally belonged to the Great Qian Dynasty is now gradually being gathered and integrated into other dynasties.
This signifies that the Great Qian Dynasty is dying out and being annexed by other dynasties.
With the Human Race Karmic Fortune divided up in this way, it is certain that Prince Pingshan will never be able to surpass the previous dynasty when he ascends the throne again.
A cycle of rise and fall has already begun.
"Okay, whatever you say!"
Upon hearing this, Yunzi smiled broadly, her smile possessing a captivating charm.
Fang Zelin also noticed the change in how Yunzi addressed him, but didn't think much of it.
Since we've known each other for so long, there's nothing wrong with using more affectionate terms of address.
Furthermore, Fang Zelin had previously vaguely sensed what Yunzi had been doing at his cultivation location.
After these things happened, something felt a little off.
Based on the idea that the world is not yet completely at peace and there are evil forces all around, we cannot let them go unchecked.
After leaving Youjing City, the two randomly chose a road and headed forward.
Compared to other places, the area outside Youjing City was not bad at the moment, with passersby hurrying by as they moved.
Aside from keeping a safe distance from other people encountered on the road, there weren't any other problems.
The people's attitude clearly shows that the war has had a significant impact on them.
In the current situation, even if someone were to be murdered, no official body would step in to help seek justice.
Some people take advantage of such opportunities, relying on their martial arts skills, to ambush and kill others.
Some fairies were also secretly watching.
Seizing the Human Race Karmic Fortune is too dangerous, but killing some mortals is an option.
To be honest, even with many Daoist Sect disciples patrolling around, it would still be very difficult to discover such a thing.
After all, under such circumstances, too many people were dying every day, and the Great Qian Dynasty was also too vast.
With so many influences, it naturally becomes very convenient for some evil spirits to cause trouble.
It is famous for its abundance of strange and monstrous creatures.
Fang Zelin and Yunzi were not dressed in fancy clothes; they were just wearing plain clothes.
However, compared to the others, the two were neatly dressed and did not seem to be in a hurry to escape.
This stark contrast caused some people to subconsciously distance themselves from the two.
To some ordinary people, the two men's postures looked exactly like those of someone who had mastered martial arts.
If the Great Qian Dynasty were still in existence, there would be no need to fear the other side.
But nowadays, it's common for disputes to escalate into murder and robbery.
If someone dies and their body is left to rot in the wilderness, no one will care, and no one will investigate.
Under these circumstances, it's naturally better to stay away from Fang Zelin and the other person.
Fang Zelin also saw through the people's thoughts, but he didn't deliberately show it.
His primary goal now remains catching demons.
"I haven't sensed Yao Qi along the way. I wonder if it's because the demon is hiding, or if the demon is good at concealing itself, or perhaps there are no demons around here."
Fang Zelin activated his divine eye and looked around, discovering many places that seemed lifeless and gloomy.
Judging from the appearance, quite a few corpses have been buried recently.
As for the others, I didn't feel much.
"It seems that the Youjing City is too conspicuous, so they dare not act recklessly here."
After listening to this, Yunzi pondered for a moment and then spoke.
The aura of Youjing City is the strongest and most abundant.
In this situation, it's quite possible that some audacious demons will set their sights on this place.
Maybe not, but maybe yes.
But precisely because of its abundant aura, this place is always frequented by the most Daoist Sect disciples, regardless of whether demons come or not.
You could easily run into a Daoist Sect disciple without even realizing it.
If one harbors the desire to take risks and seize a bit of Human Race Karmic Fortune, this place might be a good one.
But to say that one would risk such an act simply to eat some ordinary people is rather foolish.
Why come to such a dangerous place to eat people?
Therefore, normally speaking, there wouldn't be any demons here that would actually eat people.
After Yunzi's words, Fang Zelin thought about it and realized that she was indeed right.
The two walked forward, unknowingly leaving many of the people ahead behind.
This approach can be seen as a way to test the waters for these people.
If there is any danger ahead, two people will naturally help clear it away.
As the moon slowly rose, the two stopped walking.
Looking around, he saw no dilapidated temple, but rather a run-down village in the distance.
The village was now in ruins, with weeds growing taller.
From a distance, it has a somewhat eerie feel to it.
"This place has been uninhabited for a long time."
Yunzi glanced at it casually, then used Law Technique to summon some wood, and gently touched it.
With a flash of light, a bonfire rose up.
Fang Zelin and Yunzi sat down, and as if sensing something, some insects and ants around them all moved away from the two of them.
"Sigh, looking at how huge this village is, it must have been very lively many years ago, but now it's fallen into ruin."
"Yes, even after the war ends, we don't know if anyone will come back. But if they do return and see their village in this state, they'll probably feel a deep sadness."
Yunzi sighed; there was nothing she could do about it.
"That reminds me of that village I visited years ago. I wonder what it's like now."
Fang Zelin was referring to the time he drank Daughter's Red wine.
It was probably around that time that I was still a novice, or perhaps it was the first time in my life that I had tasted such fine wine.
Even now, Fang Zelin still feels a pang of emotion when he thinks of that Daughter's Red wine.
Yunzi had heard Fang Zelin mention this matter before, and she also knew that when Fang Zelin went there later, everything had changed.
Who in that village would recognize Fang Zelin?
As for that fine wine, naturally there won't be any.
"Perhaps you could try brewing that Daughter's Red wine yourself; who knows, you might be able to recreate it, or even surpass your teacher."
She still had great faith in Fang Zelin's brewing skills.
Since Fang Zelin is so persistent in his pursuit, it's worth a try.
Perhaps then, Fang Zelin will drink that wine again.
Perhaps what I miss more is the people in that village, not the wine.
Fang Zelin smiled upon hearing this and declined the other party's suggestion.
If we really can't drink it anymore, then so be it.
And just as Fang Zelin said, perhaps what he misses more is the people in that village, not necessarily the wine.
If that's the case, then naturally it's impossible to taste the same flavor as before.
Yunzi was taken aback by these words, and then nodded hesitantly.
If Fang Zelin's statement is true, then perhaps it is indeed so.
"The Human Race Karmic Fortune seems to be gathering, and in the distance, the Purple Tetrarch Star has once again begun to shine."
Fang Zelin looked up and subconsciously wanted to look at the stars, and then he saw that the Human Race Karmic Fortune was vaguely gathering in the distance.
Then, in the distance, the Purple Tetrarch Star began to gradually brighten.
Fang Zelin felt immediately relieved.
If that's the case, perhaps it won't be long before we can safely weather this catastrophe again.
As for the Devil Race, it seems we haven't seen them make a move yet.
I don't know where they've hidden themselves.
"By the way, did you manage to glimpse the location of the Devil Race last time, fellow Daoist?"
Fang Zelin changed the subject and asked about the Devil Race race.
Upon hearing Fang Zelin's question, Yunzi's expression tightened slightly, and she felt a little worried.
" The Devil Race is too powerful; you are probably no match for them now. You still need to cultivate diligently."
"Since that Devil Race doesn't intend to pay attention to us for the time being, let's leave it at that. We can go find that Devil Race again when your cultivation level has improved."
Yunzi spoke very seriously, hoping that Fang Zelin could finally relax.
As long as Fang Zelin can settle down and cultivate in peace, she would be perfectly content if he could one day single-handedly defeat the Devil Race.
But at this moment, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Fang is no match for the other party.
That's almost certain.
"Don't be so tense. I'm just a little curious. After all, we haven't had any news about the whereabouts of the Devil Race."
"These Devil Race are hiding too well; I want to know exactly where they're hiding."
Fang Zelin naturally knew that he might not come out on top in this fight against the Devil Race.
In particular, Bearing the Heavens had consumed his thousand years of Spiritual Power in his previous sword strike.
If another great battle were to break out, Bearing the Heavens would naturally not be able to unleash the same power as before.
In the end, Fang Zelin will probably be the one who suffers.
Upon hearing this, Yunzi felt relieved, knowing that Fang Zelin wouldn't try to fool her with something like this, and immediately responded.
"The place where the Devil Race reside is actually quite peculiar; the Devil Race are actually located in the outer sea."
"There is a place in the outer sea called the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, and within that forest lies a place that leads to the location of the Devil Race."
"I've recently researched a lot of information. Devil Race have appeared in many places, but they've never appeared in the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. I suppose it's to avoid being discovered, so they never show up in the area opposite the Ten Thousand Demons Forest."
"They wanted to give people the illusion that the Ten Thousand Demons Forest was the land of the Demon Race, Demon Race heartland, and that even the Devil Race wouldn't dare to easily offend it."
Fang Zelin was somewhat surprised to hear this.
He had heard of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest over the years.
Legend has it that this place is like a sacred ground for the Demon Race, and if one's cultivation level is insufficient, one is not even qualified to stay here.
However, this rule is somewhat relaxed for the offspring of the Demon Race race.
As long as they are not yet adults, these Demon Race offspring, regardless of their level of cultivation or lack thereof, can remain in the Ten Thousand Demons Forest.
But if you're an adult and lack the necessary skills, then you can only leave.
In this way, the Ten Thousand Demons Forest naturally becomes extremely terrifying.
Those who reach adulthood all possess terrifying magical abilities.
Many of the Divine Ability demons who came to the Great Qian this time came from the Ten Thousand Demons Forest.
Thinking about it this way, it becomes clear.
No wonder so many Divine Ability demons suddenly appeared; they were completely bewitched by the Devil Race race.
The only place capable of having so many extraordinary talents arrive so quickly and at the same time is the Ten Thousand Demons Forest.
The high speed indicates that the two sides are not too far apart.
To put it simply, it can only be the Ten Thousand Demons Forest.
"I should have known it would be here. These Devil Race have been holding back for so long, but this time they finally couldn't resist anymore."
"The very first move revealed a huge weakness."
Fang Zelin sighed softly and kept this matter in mind.
If I have the chance in the future, I'll go and see that Devil Race land.
