Ruins of the past

At this moment, Qiu Yuebai's hands and feet were tied with chains.

The heavy chains bound her tightly, and the other end of the chains was connected to a boulder.

These chains are all bone chains made by Chu Qiguang by the craftsmen of Yaoyin Village. Their strength is comparable to that of fine weapons, and they are specially used to bind masters.

Qiu Yuebai's martial arts was half the level in the fifth realm, but there was no way to break free from this bone chain.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang looked at Qiu Yuebai's expression of being squeezed dry, and clicked his tongue: "You have reached the fifth level in both martial arts and Taoism. Why do you get tired so easily?"

"You can't write anymore, can you?"

"Still lazy?"

Qiu Yuebai's face froze, and she quickly explained: "The scriptures and ancient books you want me to write down all contain dangerous knowledge. Every recall is a kind of torture for me, and it is not a simple dictation."

Chu Qiguang took a deep look at Qiu Yuebai and suddenly smiled: "Don't be nervous. I'm not a bad person. Am I going to let you work all the time without rest?"

"Well, just take a good rest today, don't think too much about anything, and just give me 20,000 words tomorrow morning."

Looking at Chu Qiguang's leaving figure, Qiu Yuebai's body trembled slightly: "Twenty thousand words?"

She felt like her head was starting to hurt again.

Leaving Qiu Yuebai to have a good rest, Chu Qiguang returned to his room and began to read the ancient books collected from Huang Tiandao.

Although he is in the limelight now, he is also the target of public criticism, and he needs to continue to improve his strength.

And there are still more than 600 days left to enter the Tao and comprehend the "Sutra of Mount Sumeru King".

Now the way of absorbing knowledge through the Ring of Foolishness has become a way for him to continue to accumulate strength after his realm has stagnated.

…

Yongzhou, in a study room at the Huangtiandao headquarters.

The sect leader Zhang Xinhui looked at the information coming from Lingzhou, and the fat on his face twitched slightly.

This time Huangtian Dao suffered a huge defeat. Not only were all arrangements in Lingzhou uprooted by the court, but all 12 commanders and 3 goddesses were also lost...even the saint was captured alive by Chu Qiguang.

After being widely publicized by various shareholders and investors in Lingzhou, Chu Qiguang became awe-inspiring.

But Huang Tiandao was both losing blood and losing face.

Especially after this matter spread to the church, it caused an uproar.

Countless followers clamored to take revenge on Chu Qiguang, hating and fearing him.

If it weren't for Zhang Xinhui's Taoist cultivation, there would have been a big chaos.

"Young little Chu Qiguang... I could have crushed him to death easily." Zhang Xinhui shook his head with a sigh: "Who would have thought that he would have achieved this?"

He looked at a believer in front of him and said, "How is the situation of the saint now? Is the Demon Suppressor planning to take her to the underworld in the capital?"

The underworld of the Demon Suppressing Division is famous all over the world, and it houses many extremely dangerous prisoners.

Although these prisoners are dangerous, they are extremely valuable.

Because it would be a pity to kill him, he was taken to hell and often suffered various tortures.

In Zhang Xinhui's view, it is very likely that the saint Qiu Yuebai will have this fate.

He was thinking about whether he should make a secret move and kidnap this holy girl of the Emperor's Heaven Path on the way.

After all, this saint is not only the face of Huang Tiandao, but also his junior sister.

He watched this junior sister grow up, and she was almost half his daughter.

However, a trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the believer who had escaped from Lingzhou, and he said hesitantly: "Saint...Saint..."

"She... seems to have been caught by Chu Qiguang in his own house... and tortured day and night."

After hearing these words, countless pornographic scenes seemed to be reflected in the minds of everyone present, and then a surge of anger surged in their chests.

One of the marshals immediately shouted: "Shu Zi! That's too much!"

The leader of the group, known as General Tianyou, also stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Cult Leader, we must not allow Chu Qiguang to continue to blaspheme the majesty of our religion."

Another goddess quickly persuaded him: "Cult Leader, we can no longer take action against Chu Qiguang."

"It's easy for you to kill him, but now everyone in Lingzhou, whether it's the Tianshi Sect, the Demon Suppressing Division or the two major sects, are trying to protect Chu Qiguang. Zhong Shan'e is even responsible for the affairs of the Lingzhou Demon Suppressing Division. Killing him has nothing to do with it. Too big..."

The more the goddess spoke, the harder it became. She felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from their leader's body.

A solid pressure pressed against her throat, making it impossible for her to say the next words.

Zhang Xinhui said coldly: "That's enough, no need to say more."

"This thief Chu Qiguang... I will kill him."

"but not now."

Zhang Xinhui looked to the north and said slowly: "The contradiction between the imperial court and Jiubian is irreconcilable, and chaos will definitely arise. No matter how much money you make in the stock market, it will be useless."

"Even the more money Jiubian has, the closer the connection with Lingzhou is, the more the court will be wary of it."

"The emperor will definitely take action against Jiubian."

"When chaos breaks out in Jiubian, I will secretly go to Lingzhou and crush this little thief Chu Qiguang to death with one finger."

After hearing Zhang Xinhui's words, the senior officials of Huangtian Dao nodded secretly and had no objections.

…

Unlike Qiu Yuebai, the saint of Huangtian Dao, although Yisiman is a demon clan, he is also the fourteenth prince of the Sea King of Daganning.

This level of status was considered very useful to many people in the court.

Almost on the second day after being captured, Zhong Shan'e took the prince away without knowing what he was taking it for.

But Chu Qiguang had a feeling in his heart that this fateful son of the demon clan might not be finished so easily.

And as Chu Qiguang's momentum and power in Lingzhou became more and more grand, he was almost a man of his word in the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, his various arrangements became more and more smooth.

The entire chamber of commerce seemed to be gradually turning into a cold machine, slowly driving towards the direction designated by Chu Qiguang, and it continued to accelerate faster and faster.

…

On this day, hundreds of refugees gathered outside the city of Tianqu Mansion.

They were all attracted by the news that the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce was recruiting workers.

Today, there are many refugees in the north who have no land to farm. As long as they have a good meal, they are willing to do almost any job.

Liu Er, who fled from Yongzhou, was also among them. He was selected by the guys from the Chamber of Commerce because of his good health and followed the team to a school ground.

I saw someone on the stage in front of me seemed to be talking about something, about taking medicine... health benefits... growing cotton...

Liu Er didn't pay attention. Anyway, in his opinion, the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce was recruiting tenants.

Farming... He has been farming all his life, so he is very familiar with it.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was that if he worked well, he would work a little longer. If the boss was stingy and didn't provide enough food, then he would sneak away.
