After crossing the river, we passed through several cities, and the defenses of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty had indeed relaxed quite a bit.

However, using spatial magic for a sudden attack was too abrupt. The geomancy devices in each city would still be active. Otherwise, while we were sleeping soundly, the rebels could use teleportation arrays to launch a surprise attack, causing great devastation.

Fortunately, the northern region is vast and sparsely populated. The distances between cities are often much greater than in the south, and the range of the geomancy devices is limited. It is impossible to cover the entire country.

This is exactly what Li Xiangqi referred to as a gap. Once we find one, we can activate the Langhuan Law Scroll without any obstacles.

One by one, the cultivators in our group returned to the Heavenly Palace as the Langhuan Law Scroll was activated. Chu Shen turned around and looked at the mountains and rivers of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, feeling a deep sense of emotion.

These vast and magnificent lands are now stained with blood due to the incompetence and decay of the ruling class. Countless innocent lives have been lost. If he had only read about it in history books, it would be one thing, but unfortunately, this time he personally witnessed the cruelty of a chaotic world. How could he not feel a thousand emotions?

Emperors, nobles, and powerful families are all part of the system, but the common people, who don't even have a place in this system, are the foundation of this world. They are the most innocent and unfortunate.

When there is prosperity, the people suffer; when there is decline, the people suffer. Not a single word is wrong!

Unfortunately, while he sympathizes, he also understands that there is no savior in this world. The common people always hope for a savior to emerge, to the point where there are always heroes who rise up to slay dragons, only to become evil dragons themselves. This is the source of their greatest misfortune.

He has no way to solve this problem completely. It can only be understood by the common people themselves.

Therefore, after his emotions settled, he made up his mind and no longer looked at the distant fires of war and death. He activated the Langhuan Law Scroll and returned to the Langhuan Heavenly Palace.

He also has his own battlefield, and this turmoil may indeed be the arrival of a "great era of contention"!

With the disappearance of Chu Shen's aura in the mortal world, the site of the roadside wild shop that he destroyed and suppressed suddenly moved, followed by a cloud of dust, and a non-human-like figure of a monster appeared in a sorry state.

He looks very old, with a bald head and white beard, wrinkled skin, and a turtle shell behind him. If it weren't for the scales and sharp claws on his limbs, the terrifying red eyes and sharp teeth, Chu Shen might have exclaimed, thinking that Dongxuan Tian also had a senior COSER named "Turtle Hermit".

"I was scared to death. Where did this cultivator come from? Not only does he possess the merit halo, but he also has such a terrifying luck. He couldn't even predict anything and almost shattered my Dao heart, losing my cultivation!"

If Chu Shen heard his words, he would immediately understand that this guy's studies are probably similar to Cheng Suwei's, focusing on divination, fortune-telling, and celestial phenomena. Only those who study this kind of stuff would be most afraid of encountering someone like him who possesses merit.

Those who practice this path are extremely powerful and often use extremely unpredictable means to deceive others, such as changing their fortune or using curses. Even if they are tricked to death, they wouldn't know who did it.

In a sense, the methods used by these cultivators are similar to the effect of Chu Shen's "Seven Arrows of Nailhead", which can truly kill people invisibly. Therefore, there are not many people in the cultivation world who are willing to provoke such existences.

But it is true that they are useless. As long as they don't engage in secret activities and confront each other head-on, they generally suffer a tragic defeat when fighting against opponents of the same level.

What's even more tragic is that these people are particularly passive when facing Chu Shen. Not only does Chu Shen have the moral halo to protect himself, but he is also an "Innate Evil-Dispelling Spirit Body" and has a system, which counters many of their methods.

The "Turtle Demon" is the one who suffered the most from this.

In fact, he is the mastermind behind this roadside wild shop. Originally, he planned to take advantage of the decline of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty's national fortune and seize an opportunity in this chaotic era to establish a place for cultivating corpse monsters and obtain powerful means.

He is truly one of the countless demons and monsters in this chaotic world, not rare at all.

Who would have thought that they would encounter such a BUG like Chu Shen, not only destroying the store and causing death, but also losing the opportunity to raise the corpse monster. What's even worse is that he wanted to calculate Chu Shen's fortune, but ended up losing his own cultivation and everything else.

It can be said that he was completely suppressed.

In this situation, he was trembling so much that he didn't even have time to think about his livelihood.

He could only use the Turtle Breathing Technique to barely survive, watching helplessly as Chu Shen destroyed everything he had and left without a care.

"Fortunately, my life is saved. With the chaos among the human race these days, there will always be opportunities for me to take action!"

Thinking of this, the demon felt that he could regain his confidence and started planning to find a good place to start anew.

However, before he could take a few steps, a sharp whistling sound came from above his head. A piercing arrow fell straight down, accurately piercing through his head and coming out from under his feet, leaving him completely transparent.

The "Turtle Demon" looked up at the sky in confusion, then fell down with a loud crash, unable to understand who had killed him.

But the arrow that killed him seemed to be alive. It slowly floated up from the ground, emitting a sharp whistle, and flew back into the sky with a burst of teleportation light, disappearing into the clouds.

When it reappeared, it was already in the midst of magnificent palaces, held in the hands of a slender jade hand.

"Sister, here is your arrow!"

The owner of the slender jade hand respectfully presented the arrow to a beautiful woman who seemed to be a Celestial Immortal in human form.

This beauty has picturesque features, tall and full-bodied, except for a slight coldness, truly irresistible in every way. At the moment, she is wiping a long bow with an unusual shape in her hand, glancing at the junior sister who offered the arrow, saying, "Put it back in the quiver for now. It's stained with demon blood, and it needs to be nurtured."

If someone were to infuse their spiritual power into their eyes, they would be able to see that the arrowhead of that arrow is pinned with the wailing soul of a demon clan, isn't it the "Turtle Demon Man" who was shot and killed?

When the junior sister in white obeyed the command of her senior sister and put the arrow into an exquisite quiver, the continuous screams of the "Turtle Demon Man" could be heard coming from the quiver.

On the contrary, the arrow became strange, with bright blood-colored patterns all over it, as if it had just had a hearty meal.

The junior sister in white frowned and waved her hand, imprinting a spell on the quiver, and the annoying screams and the strange fluctuations when the arrow devoured spirits disappeared completely. Only then did she face her senior sister and say, "Senior sister, it's done. Your arrow has devoured this demon, and it will become even stronger!"

The cold and beautiful senior sister stopped wiping the long bow, stood tall, and hung the bow on the wall. "It's just a somewhat rare and slightly easy-to-deal-with Turtle Demon, not a powerful big demon. I made a move this time not for hunting demons, but purely to save face for my little junior sister and tie up loose ends for her little lover."

The junior sister in white blinked in surprise. Could it be that her senior sister is so kind-hearted?

Of course, she dare not say such words out loud.

"Little junior sister... Ah, it's Cheng, ah, it's Suwei junior sister, senior sister, you don't..."

As far as she knew, this senior sister seemed to have some prejudice against Suwei junior sister.

The cold senior sister fell silent for a moment before sighing, "Fate cannot be violated, ah!"
