Ruins of the past

Waves of strong vibrations continued to come from the depths of the earth, and the streets inside and outside Shangyuanfu City seemed to be churning with waves, as if the earth was shaking.

A large number of houses in the slums began to collapse, and countless people woke up from their sleep, fell off their beds, and crawled out of their doors...

Some people were crushed by the collapsed houses before they regained consciousness and never woke up.

Inside and outside the city, there is mourning all over the place, and everything is desolate.

Because of Chu Qiguang's recent big moves and the Dragon Clan's retreat, this sudden shock immediately caused panic among the people.

"The Dragon Clan is back!"

"There's a war! There's a war!"

"The monsters are laying siege to the city!"

Various rumors quickly spread among the people, making the whole city more nervous and panicked, and a commotion intensified.

…

Chu Qiguang, who was originally listening to the report on the Climbing Tower, saw fire in his eyes.

He stood up when the shock first came, and his whole body rose into the sky, pulling out a long air wave and flying into the sky.

Not to mention that ordinary people thought that the demon clan was coming, even he thought it was the demon clan that started the war earlier than he expected at a speed faster than he expected.

His figure was blown up by the strong wind in the cloud sky, flashing several times in a row as if teleporting, and appeared directly in the sky outside Shangyuan Mansion City.

Although the outside of the city was in chaos due to the shock, there were no signs of demon invasion.

Chu Qiguang checked along the official road and frowned slightly: "Earthquake?"

"It seemed like just an aftershock."

"Ximian?" He raised his head and looked at Ximian: "Where is it?"

After confirming that the demon clan had not invaded and that it seemed to be just the aftermath of an earthquake, Chu Qiguang rushed back to the city of Shangyuan Mansion.

He looked down at the chaotic scene below. Some people were running away in panic, some were organizing people to treat the wounded, and some were even taking advantage of the chaos to rob.

If the government and the army were to be arranged normally to appease the people, it would definitely be a time-consuming, labor-intensive and extremely troublesome matter.

But Chu Qiguang, as a martial god in the manifest realm, naturally has a simpler way.

I saw the energy and blood in his body suddenly activated, and traces of fire spread from his body.

The next moment, the blazing dragon-elephant sky fire suddenly surged and expanded in the air, turning into a towering flame giant sitting cross-legged over the city.

The giant looked like Chu Qiguang, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was as loud as thunder, and his majestic words quickly spread throughout the city.

"The earth dragon's transformation has ended. The people of the city have gathered according to my guidance and are waiting for the court's rescue..."

"The government office immediately organized officers to carry out rescue operations..."

"The entire city is under martial law from the Demon Suppression Department and the Military and Horse Command Department..."

With the appearance of Chu Qiguang, surging heat and pressure enveloped the entire Shangyuan Mansion City, displaying earth-shattering force.

The originally rioting crowd was forced to calm down under this naked violence.

As the crowd began to act one by one according to Chu Qiguang's instructions, the entire city gradually returned to order, and a riot was completely eliminated.

But for Chu Qiguang, all this is still far from over.

Subsequently, various disaster relief, soup kitchen, and reconstruction work became orderly with the intervention of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.

Chu Qiguang, on the other hand, was more concerned about where the epicenter of the earthquake occurred and what impact it would have on the southeastern region.

…

A few days later, we climbed to the sky tower.

Jinnu reported: "The epicenter of this earthquake is located in Hongxing Prefecture, Jiangzhou. The impact range is very wide, and it can be felt almost throughout the southeast."

"As of yesterday, the number of casualties from this earthquake has exceeded 10,000, with countless collapsed houses and livestock deaths."

"Currently, Jiangzhou, Donghaizhou, Quanzhou and Yuezhou have launched rescue operations."

"The Demon Suppression Division investigation team sent by Mr. Chu has gone to the source of the earthquake and will investigate the cause of the earthquake with the cooperation of the local government..."

Chu Qiguang frowned slightly. The impact of this earthquake was more unexpected than he expected.

The Southeast region is not an earthquake-prone area to begin with. Such a severe earthquake has not occurred since ancient times.

Coupled with the location of the epicenter, he felt vaguely that this might not be simple.

At this moment, a little girl ran in and looked at Chu Qiguang and said, "Brother! Where is this Hongxing Mansion in Jiangzhou? Such a big earthquake happened. I need to go there." Help?"

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "Hongxing Mansion... is nearby the Dragon Snake Mountain. This earthquake is probably related to the Tianshi Sect or even Taoist Xuanyuan."

"Let's deal with the matters at hand and the disaster situation in Donghai State first. As for the Dragon Snake Mountain side, let's wait until we figure out what's going on."

"Speaking of which, how's your new skill going?"

Not long after reading the knowledge pouring out of Xuan Xuzi's golden body for the last time, Jiaojiao completely fell asleep due to the overwhelming sleepiness.

When she woke up again, she found that she had the power to cut off the soul.

A person who has had his soul cut off looks the same from the inside out, and neither fighting nor cultivation seems to be affected at all.

Jiaojiao can bring the cut-off souls together, and then all the people whose souls have been cut off and gathered together will find that they are able to communicate remotely in the Buddhist world.

This kind of communication is not limited by any distance as long as it extends into the Buddha Realm. At least so far, Jiaojiao has not found the limit of this distance.

According to the volunteers who had their souls cut off, the feeling of spiritual communication was very wonderful. It was far more efficient than any verbal or written communication, and it also allowed them to understand each other better.

These volunteers even suggested that Chu Qiguang and Jiaojiao expand the group of people who cut Yuanshen, but Chu Qiguang temporarily suppressed the idea.

After all, the time for these people to cut off the soul was too short, so Chu Qiguang still planned to observe it for a longer time to see if there would be any side effects.

Apart from this project of soul cutting, what interests Chu Qiguang the most is the Jiaojiao in front of him.

It seems that every time the opponent absorbs a large amount of high-level knowledge, he will have some new abilities, as if he has evolved.

Chu Qiguang asked the Incorruptible Buddha. After all, their branch should theoretically be derived from the human bloodline left by the Incorruptible Buddha.

But Jiaojiao's situation was beyond what the Buddha of Incorruptibility knew. Even he didn't know what was going on. He could only suspect that it was related to the seven holy Buddhas who defeated the Buddha of Incorruptibility.

"By the way, did you read the Dharma of Entering the Dao and the Dharma of Manifesting Gods that I showed you last time?"

"This time, I also asked the Incorruptible Buddha to bring you the dharma of the Tianyuan realm. When the time comes, you must memorize it all and remember it in your heart."

"Your biggest task now is to study hard, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
