He Was Coming

"Zuo Luo's control over Pei Jing was killed, his control over you failed and he suffered a severe physical injury, while Zuo Teng, who was being controlled, has been cut off from the Scarlet Alliance State and is far away from them. He's been having a tough time these past few days!"

"He's gone mad! He lost control after eating Ba'erbo's body!"

He wants to eat everything, including me!

"When I retaliated, I took the pruning shears and cut off his head, then swallowed it!"

Zuo Jin muttered to himself.

Compared to his previous frenzied hysteria, Zuo Jin now showed a hint of cooperation driven by a survival instinct.

The large flower on his head looked at the menacing Zhou Rihui, and then at Ren Anran, who had caused him to lose his composure and collapse with a single blow.

Clearly, he had no choice but to either die or cooperate.

He had no chance of launching a sneak attack against Zhou Rihui and Ren Anran. Even if he evolved into a five-star plant again and gained the inherited abilities such as summoning wind and rain, none of these methods would change his fate.

In Zuo Jin's mind, he believed that he had violated the rules set by Huang Daoxian, and that he was already experiencing a series of misfortunes, which led to Zhang Xuezhou and others coming to his door in such a short time, and that he had ended up in his current helpless situation.

"Master... I have never seen you. I was already living with Luo Yan when I gained consciousness, and I continued to grow and evolve in the darkness until I was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum!"

"The knowledge I possess stems from the inheritance that comes from continuous breakthroughs and growth!"

"My knowledge of Pan'an is very limited. I only know that it's where my master came from, and that Ron also originated from there!"

Zuo Jin spoke eloquently about himself, able to recount everything related to him.

When it came to Huang Daoxian, Zuo Jin his brains but couldn't come up with anything.

Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to give up.

"There's a bronze tortoise carrying a plate in its mouth at the foot of Emperor Luo Li's tomb. You should know what that is, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Those are the deities we protect in Dongshan," Zuo Jin honestly.

"Gods?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"Like the deity worshipped by the Tuer people, we have always worshipped him in Dongshan," Zuo Jin said.

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Xuezhou frowned, while Zuo Jin shook his head vigorously, indicating that he would absolutely cooperate.

"Why would you enshrine a bronze tortoise statue of the emperor of the Luofu Dynasty?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously. "Why go to such great lengths to make this offering, and why choose a bronze tortoise?"

"That's something only Master... Huang Daoxian understands," Zuo Jin said, pursing his lips. "I'm just an executor; I don't have that knowledge!"

You've put me in a very difficult position!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, and Zhou Rihui, who was standing to the side, then slapped Zuo Jin face, making Zuo Jin almost spin 360 degrees on the spot.

"His worship of the gods must have a purpose; perhaps he's seeking gifts from them!"

After being drawn and nearly spun around, Zuo Jin held his face in his hands, clearly very anxious.

"What can a bronze tortoise be given as a gift?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I don't know, but it should be given as a gift in that basin after the requirements are met," Zuo Jin urgently.

"Unfortunately, this probably won't meet your requirements!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

The bronze tortoise that was worshipped has not only left the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum area, but the fortune of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum area has also been released and scattered in all directions.

The more areas Zhang Xuezhou traveled through, the clearer he became about the special nature of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

Every country has its own destiny, but whether or not that destiny can be accumulated is another matter entirely.

It seems that he cultivated the art of fortune in Chang'an City, and that the fortunes of Huainan Kingdom and Jiangxia Kingdom were prosperous, making it not surprising that the national fortunes converged in one place. However, in reality, only the Imperial Mausoleum in Dongshan has such fortunes. Scarlet Alliance State, the Aomeijia Alliance, the Thousand Islands Alliance, and the British Alliance State do not have the phenomenon of national fortunes converging in the power center of the capital.

The preparations for the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum were ruined, and the plan to offer sacrifices to the bronze tortoise was also aborted halfway. Zhang Xuezhou did not see what the bronze tortoise spat out at the time, nor could he expect anything to come from fulfilling the bronze tortoise's demands.

Huang Daoxian's efforts over the past century have all come to nothing, and Zhang Xuezhou feels that everything has been for naught. He hasn't gained anything, and even the news brought by Zuo Jin's complete cooperation is disappointing.

"You've dug up the gods, so our guardians of Dongshan... are finished..."

Zhang Xuezhou asked a very casual question at the end, and Zuo Jin answered it very seriously. It wasn't until after Zhang Xuezhou finished asking the question that Zuo Jin realized what was going on.

He asked Zhang Xuezhou several questions and learned that the tomb of Emperor Luo Li had been completely destroyed and that the bronze tortoise had been unearthed, which made his expression change drastically.

As the place that Huang Daoxian has planned for a hundred years, as long as Dongshan is stable, everything will be fine and there will be plenty of time.

Once this strategic location is destroyed, Zuo Jin is certain that Huang Daoxian will receive the message and will react swiftly.

"He's coming!"

Fear flashed in Zuo Jin's eyes, and his body collapsed like a lump of mud, his head almost drooping to the ground to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"You shouldn't have developed Dongshan, you shouldn't have pressed on so relentlessly, you shouldn't have limited the Zuo Household under my control to only the area around the Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum, you shouldn't have..."

Zuo Jin himself, completely unaware of how he had ended up in this dead end.

After the death of the clansman who was worshipped and sacrificed, it seemed as if the pressure was gradually increasing and shrinking. Furthermore, events such as Zuo Luo being injured and devouring the sword orchid continued to occur, which eventually led to the worshipped deity who was wandering in the East Mountain being temporarily fixed in one place and then being excavated.

In just a few days, everything changed.

"Dongshan is destroyed, he is coming. Whether it's me or any of you who have offended the gods, we will all die. We will all be killed and completely disappear from this world. No one will be spared!"

Zuo Jin collapsed to the ground.

He had previously held a sliver of hope for cooperation with the Sequence Committee, believing that these people, with their Sequence strength and modern firearms, possessed the power to injure Huang Daoxian. Zhang Xuezhou's proposal to search for the Immortal Gem further spurred Zuo Jin, Zuo Jin to believe that the Sequence Committee had uncovered the secret of Huang Daoxian's immortality and was qualified to crack it.

But everything takes time, even knowing that Huang Daoxian has a weakness, it still takes time to address it.

Now that Dongshan's plans have fallen apart, Huang Daoxian must know the situation and will inevitably try to reach Western Capital City through other means.

Perhaps it's a change similar to Ron's, or some other method.

Zuo Jin felt that the end of the world was not far off.

"You mean Huang Daoxian is coming?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked in doubt, then looked at Ren Anran and Zhou Rihui.

"Coming to Western Capital City is the best option," Zhou Rihui said through gritted teeth. "I want to see what kind of grass he's made of, and whether he's really that tough!"

"Zuo Jin, when do you think Huang Daoxian will come to Western Capital City?"

Ren Anran asked the question with a serious expression but also with great composure.

"With modern transportation so convenient, the problem at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum only arose this morning. Once he receives the information, he should arrive in Western Capital City within three days at most!"

Zuo Jin Zuo Jin his head and, after being slapped twice by Zhou Rihui, managed to respond with a few words, but his body collapsed like limp mud, as if he had been too shocked and panicked by the incident, and could no longer straighten up.
