164: repression

The people of Stormwind City were heartbroken, completely routed.

The Upper City people, who had just been so aggressive, were now as frightened as stray dogs.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd sighed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, are these the Upper City people? Are these the Upper City people we once regarded as gods, believing them to be invincible? They are nothing special after all."

"Nonsense, they are all just people. They are just a bit stronger, but if you cut off their heads with one slash, they will still die!"

"Everyone fears death, and they are no exception."

"When it comes to integrity, we Great Xia people have never lost to any other race!"

"The thought of me once dreaming of going to the Upper City makes me sick all over. Bah!"

"..."

The people in the city discussed animatedly, while Stormwind City's subordinates cursed and cried.

However, Luo Shan didn't care at all.

He let out a sinister laugh and continued to sprint.

"Hehehe, it is your honor to sacrifice yourselves for this Venerable One. This Venerable One will remember you."

"And you, you ants of City 39!"

"Don't get too smug; just you wait. When this old man returns next time, he will surely bring a million-strong army to crush you!"

Seeing that they couldn't catch Luo Shan, Jian San and the others could only stare in frustration.

They simply stopped chasing Luo Shan and instead began slaughtering the people in front of them.

However!

Just then!

Screech!

Several long bird cries came, followed by several terrifying Auras, like divine power descending from the heavens, roaring from within City 39.

Luo Shan instinctively looked back, and when he saw the six figures rushing towards him like streaks of light, he was so scared his legs went weak!

At the same time!

Large numbers of reinforcements from other cities also arrived.

When they saw the six immortal cranes, they were all stunned.

Six Martial Saint-level immortal cranes had locked down all of Luo Shan's escape routes, terrifying Luo Shan, who trembled all over and dared not speak.

At this moment, the six immortal cranes actually spoke human words!

"Bad guy, you came all this way and now you want to run?"

"If you dare to run again, this old lady will peck off your dick!"

"Hmm? Cough cough... we are immortal cranes, pay attention to your image!"

"Image my ass! This old lady will peck, what's it to you?"

The six Martial Saint-level immortal cranes scared Luo Shan out of his wits; he couldn't even muster a thought of resistance.

However!

This was just the beginning of the shock.

At this moment.

Roar!

A Dragon's roar soared into the sky, and several golden Dragons streaked across the air.

Liu Jiangyi stood in the air.

Holy Light entwined him, lotus flowers bloomed with each step, and his noble Aura was like that of a True God, vying for glory with the sun and moon!

"True God!"

The people of City 39 were instantly ecstatic, their eyes bursting with fervent adoration, and they all knelt on the ground, shouting "True God."

Under such a miracle, no one could remain calm.

Luo Shan was completely stunned!

Everything Liu Jiangyi displayed completely refreshed his understanding of the Martial Dao.

What the hell?

What on earth is this?

Could it be that there really are immortals on Bluestar?

But if there are immortals on Bluestar, why have they only appeared now? Where were they before?

Earlier, he had boasted wildly, vowing to drench City 39 in blood, capture their so-called True God, kill him in front of them, and make them feel despair.

But now!

He hadn't even crossed the moat before he had become a fish on the chopping block.

Killing a god?

How utterly ridiculous!

It's over!

It's completely over!

Luo Shan's heart was like dead ash.

In the sky.

Liu Jiangyi was immensely pleased.

This wave of golden lotuses blooming from the ground effect really allowed him to show off in a big way.

No wonder so many people liked to show off.

He had to admit!

Showing off felt really good!

The feeling of being worshipped by ten thousand people also felt really good!

To be honest, Liu Jiangyi's current Realm was only Great Martial Saint Perfection; he had not yet achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Saint.

He was no match for Luo Shan at all.

But relying on this special effect, he had scared Luo Shan like a grandson.

How could that not feel good?

His gaze pierced Luo Shan, and he delivered his judgment.

"The people of Stormwind City are heinous invaders, having massacred countless Bluestar compatriots and oppressed them for many years. Heaven and man are enraged; their crimes are unforgivable."

"Today, this Venerable One acts on behalf of Heaven and sentences you... to death!"

As he finished speaking!

Blinding white light erupted from the six immortal cranes, spreading rapidly.

In just a fleeting moment.

The surrounding people of Stormwind City were vaporized.

Luo Shan didn't even have time to scream before he turned into ashes in despair.

【Ding! A fence needs three stakes, and a good man needs three helpers. An elder who wishes to achieve great things cannot do without the support of the world. Therefore, the System issues a new mission:】

【Announce the recruitment of heroes from all over the world to conspire for a great cause and lead the Bluestar people to completely escape their status as slaves.】

【Mission Reward: One spiritual mountain】

【Mission Progress: 0 / 1】

What the hell?

Another mission?

Awesome!

Liu Jiangyi didn't hesitate at all, looking down at all beings and saying, "This Venerable One will hold a Dao-preaching ceremony in City 39 ten days from now. At that time, any ambitious Bluestar individual may come to participate."

"If you can pass the test, you may join City 39 and conspire for a great cause with this Venerable One!"

Liu Jiangyi's voice, like a grand bell, echoed in the air.

By the time the crowd reacted, Liu Jiangyi and the immortal cranes had already disappeared, and the sky returned to normal.

Except for the blood and flesh on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened.

...

Everything that happened today, and the news that Liu Jiangyi was about to begin preaching the Dao, spread like wildfire to dozens of cities in an instant.

This news exploded like thunder.

It shocked everyone!

City 39 had changed everything for them, making them clearly understand the true nature of this world.

And the one who made City 39 understand the true nature of this world was Liu Jiangyi!

Liu Jiangyi's appearance was truly no different from a True God.

They had all witnessed the strength of the people of City 39.

Therefore, this news immediately caused a stir among all parties!

"Is that powerful being from City 39 trying to win over all the heroes of the world with this move?"

"This person, who was silent but then startled everyone with a single act, is truly a blessing for our Bluestar!"

"It's hard to say. Although we are all Bluestar people, those not from our city surely have different intentions. I don't think he's that kind-hearted. We should send some people to investigate first."

"Indeed, people are all selfish. The so-called True God is just a powerful human. How could he generously impart knowledge without any benefit? It's safer to send some people to check first."

...

In a tavern in City 18.

The tavern was full of people drinking in groups of three or five.

Most of what they talked about were recent changes.

"Hey, have you heard? The people of City 39 actually killed all the Upper City people!"

"Hahahaha... how could you believe such nonsense?"

"Brother, what is the concept of the Upper City? Although they are damnable invaders, their strength is simply beyond our ability to resist. Even if City 39 is indeed much stronger than us, how could they possibly defeat Stormwind City?"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. City 39 has been making such a big fuss recently, isn't it just to make all our cities submit? I think this is just a lie they made up themselves!"
