Chapter 323 "Chaos is Coming"

The disaster in Pongshan was like a hurricane sweeping across the Yellow Sea. The destinies of both countries were being troubled by this sudden natural disaster before their destinies even arrived.
Since the appearance of this world, there has never been such a terrifying accident. The embryo of the female monster was engulfed, and one of them had not even matured. This disappearance directly means destruction. Actually, the fate of the other is not optimistic either. The embryo of the female monster was engulfed, and such a thing has never happened before! And this time, not just one but two were lost. The catastrophic consequences are not as simple as multiplying by two. This time, two countries are plunged into chaos. If things go wrong, the two countries may even become mortal enemies—they will blame each other, believing that the other party's embryo has burdened their own destiny!
Although there is the Yanguo and Qingguo states in between the Liuguo and Qiaoguo states, and water routes also have to pass through the Black Sea and the Blue Sea, which makes it difficult to reach directly. However, this does not prevent tensions between the two countries at the grassroots level. Moreover, just before this incident happened, there was a farce of group pilgrimage in the Qiaoguo, which almost everyone in the 12 countries knew about...
It is just like the roof leaking and encountering a rainy night. With a little association from someone who cares, there is no need to instigate any further. No matter who comes out to defend or wash the floor, it cannot be washed clean!
The fairies in the Penglou Palace have chosen to lie flat. Such an incident is simply a natural disaster, and they are powerless to prevent it. Even if others want to blame them for this accident, they can only accept it. In fact, on the day of the accident, the four great fairy lords gathered in the Penglou Palace and carefully investigated. After confirming that the on-duty fairies did not lie, they concluded that this accident was truly an uncontrollable disaster that human effort cannot resist.
After all this ordeal, the Penglou Palace has been identified as the biggest victim of this incident, and they should not be held responsible for this accident.
But let us not forget that this is a world where the authority is divinely granted, and behind every major event there is a divine will. Erosion... Some people have always said that it is a symbol of unpredictable divine power, and behind every erosion, there must be an unforeseeable deep meaning. One of the strengths of the Qilin clan is that they can actively summon erosion, which is the most powerful and unsolvable damaging move without causing death, directly exiling the opponent to another world. The Penglou Palace has experienced such accidents before, and the victims were all the fruit of a certain country's Qilin. It took many years each time to recover the lost fruits. This time, they have caused such a commotion...
Later in the evening, Lian and Yan both arrived. One is skilled in searching while the other excels in rescuing people. The kind-hearted King Lian and the generous King Yan proactively extended a hand of friendship, stating that they are willing to help in any way possible and would never refuse. King Jing then directly used the precious Shuiyu knife to predict the location of the lost fetus. The other kings and qilins also expressed their concerns regarding the accident using various methods.
But everything fell through, Shui Yu Dao unexpectedly couldn't see what exactly happened that night. This sudden arrival and sudden departure swept away only two fruit fetuses, their destination unknown. This accident, with such a clear objective, seemed more deliberate than intentional human acts. Other methods yielded similar results, as if all of these were the will of the heavens themselves. They simply wanted to take away these two fruit fetuses!
Some immortal beings who have lived for a long time are flipping through ancient texts, trying to find the real answers in the dusty corners of history. This event is so peculiar, there must be an unknown deeper meaning behind it. Soon, Immortal Lord Fang Hu found a similar record in his predecessor's notes—
When this world was established less than a hundred years ago, the first generation of Qilins suffered from the disease of losing the Way for various reasons. There was once a certain king named XX (the text is smeared) who, in order to continue his destiny, colluded with a certain immortal and intended to destroy the Sacrificial Timber. Then, on the same day, at the same moment, the king, the Qilin, and the immortal died violently. XXX (the rest of the content is torn)...
With this ambiguous clue, the immortal lords find the search for clues much easier. With over 3000 years of vast history, narrowing down the search to within 100 years makes it much more manageable. Finally, they discover a hidden letter in the historical archives revealing that the original names of the 12 countries were not exactly the same as they are today!
To know that the greatest punishment in this world is the changing of a royal family's surname. Generally speaking, the national surname and national name have similar pronunciations, such as "yan" and "yan", "cai" and "cai". The king and the kirin of the same country can be changed, but the surname cannot. Only those who commit great crimes that are detested by the heavens will see their national surname changed. This kind of thing has happened twice in history, in the Cai and Dai countries. However, those two cases were extremely severe, essentially shaking the roots of this world, for such a surname change to occur. Although the surname changes, the national name does not. People cannot imagine how terrible the situation must be for heaven to even change the national name, and for the original names to be completely engulfed in historical records.
The person in charge of Penglai Palace took the initiative to apologize to the heavens. She did not dare to imagine how terrifying things would happen in this world if all these records were true!
~~~~Somewhere in the Yellow Sea~~~~
Feizhai is hiding here as a member of the Chamber of Commerce.This place is one of the few earthly paradises in the Yellow Sea, less than a hundred miles from the Penglou Palace.Several small mountains form a circular natural barrier, with the stream on the mountains converging into a small lake in the middle.The rare wood that the True Lord Qunlang went through great pains to obtain was planted here.The nearby Zhuhuang people have built their new homeland here.
Compared to the harsh environment outside, this place, which was originally ordinary, has become like heaven. The business caravan that came to the Yellow Sea for business has always regarded this place as an important base, and people who enter through the Lingqian Gate to participate in mountain climbing will also choose this place as an important base. Unlike the deceiving and cheating Spider Town, the people here truly regard this place as their home and leave some room for whatever they do. Those who engage in excessive fraud and dirtiness will receive severe punishment from the elders of the clan.
When Zhang just arrived, he happened to come across a fight between two people in the market. Zhao, who was curious, received some interesting news through a bit of gossip. This was a common bartering trade on the Yellow Sea, where meat jerky was exchanged for a hunting crossbow. Unfortunately, both parties involved in the trade were unscrupulous entrepreneurs. In the end, one of them took the crossbow with quality issues to go hunting. At a critical moment, the crossbow arm broke, and the person was almost killed by the trap. The other person didn't fare any better either. The one who made the meat jerky used subpar ingredients, making it appear the same as others. However, after eating it, it almost caused a person to have severe diarrhea... In the end, the two survivors, full of anger, confronted each other and what followed was a comical and dramatic confrontation.
The situation was finally resolved with the intervention of a highly respected elder in the clan. It felt like our family's reputation was about to be completely tarnished, so this elder personally gave a severe punishment of 50 lashes, or rather, 50 whip strikes. These were definitely not light strikes - each one would undoubtedly cause the skin to tear and bleed.
However, the tribal elder is not just a barbarian who relies on violence. The purpose of public execution is to deter others. After each whip, he makes the two unscrupulous businessmen loudly confess their wrongdoings. After a few lashes, there is a break, during which the wounded are treated and a designated person explains the truth to new spectators. It seems that the search for the leader here takes some skill. This place has moved away from rule by individuals and is moving towards the rule of law.
Feizhai just wants to bring over the Autumn officials in Liu Guo who have lost their minds, as well as the foot tub public squeals represented by Shibamoto Shinzaburo, to see what punishment and its purpose are, and how the means should be. Although this place is backward, the consciousness of the people is not outdated at all!
So, you see, if you want to establish the rule of law, you should completely eliminate the so-called man-made factors! To distort the interpretation of justice for the sake of one's own career and reputation, to distort the original normal judicial system, and even to use various means to mess around, no matter how good the system is, it cannot withstand the messing around of these scoundrels. Liu and Wang deserved to die! Isn't it just for a fake reputation? Looking for reasons here and there, with your "Justification for the Greater Good," you have ruined the whole country, do you know that? And those Law Ministers who have become a laughingstock, it is you that they are mocking! Being able to make a death row inmate counter-sue the government is unique to this blue star! Because of you scoundrels, the heinous crimes in foot basin households are always very severe. The criminals don't bother with minor matters; if they want to do something, they will make it big, and they will never stop. Anyway, even if they are sentenced to death, it is not necessarily executed. The judicial system can still protect their peaceful life until the day of execution. In terms of probability, the chance of dealing with a pardon is greater than dealing with a hangman's noose. As long as you relax, at worst, you will enjoy free food and drinks at public expense for a lifetime. So, what is there to be afraid of?
Feizhai doesn't know that in the mortal world, the Foot Basin Clan has begun to consider the issue of death penalty reform due to the death streaming incident. The methods can be described as varied: two-stage death penalty (immediately after sentencing, the frontal lobe is directly removed and made into a vegetable, to be hanged whenever the execution is scheduled), highest deferral (maximum ten-year probation after sentencing, with no changes, execution is carried out directly, without prolonging fantasies), reformed death penalty (abolishing hanging and adopting euthanasia tactics)... Moreover, there are petitions from thousands of people in the community, demanding the clearance of death row inmates. There are even suggestions to legislate that a Minister of Justice who has been in office for more than six months, if unable to clear 20% of the death row inmate stock, will not only be immediately dismissed but also must be sent to prison for several years on charges of dereliction of duty, with all political retirement benefits cancelled...
In short, the stubborn and single-minded nature of Jia Guozhen has led to another dead end in the related issues. Outside the parliament building, there are daily protests by a large number of victims' families of death penalty cases. It is said that a major financial consortium is sponsoring them as the main benefactor... They even imitate the practices in the death penalty live broadcast room, wearing a headgear made of straw or metal... As for a judge who became a vegetable due to gas poisoning, he has now become abandoned. Recently, he was thrown out of the hospital for failing to pay for medical expenses...
The chaos in the world has nothing to do with Zhao, who is hidden in the Yellow Sea. He is now pretending to do business while keeping an eye on the situation on Penglai Mountain.
He finally knows the identity of the Immortal of Yingzhou and why the painting style of Winzhou is so bizarre. The biggest swindler in history brought 500 children across the sea and accidentally found the legendary Overseas Immortal Mountain (Xiematai). He used his excellent cheating skills to deceive and became an immortal. Just when he was about to enjoy a wonderful new life, a unprecedented crisis occurred. The entire small country was dragged into this world, and the landing point happened to be the Yellow Sea, where he encountered the previous Immortal of Yingzhou. When he learned that there really are immortals in this world, he decisively abandoned his identity and successfully mixed into the immortal ranks with his mouth... The next few hundred years could be a fantastic version of "My Struggle". The previous Immortal of Yingzhou sacrificed himself to protect the Yellow Sea. He and the demons who invaded the Penglai Mountain area perished together, and he, as the deputy, took over his position.
Flying Studio also learned the most frustrating fact in this world - immortals may not actually die, but besides those who resign and die peacefully, many immortals sacrifice themselves in the line of duty. The Four Immortal Kings have true combat power over the Yellow Sea, and their mission is to protect the safety of the Yellow Sea, or rather, the safety of Mount Penglai, at any cost. Almost every Immortal King eventually meets their end in sacrifice, and as of now, all sacrifices have been due to battles with demons.
Before the incident caused by Zhao was successfully imagined as a sudden event, no one questioned how the beast tide occurred, because although such incidents are rare, they have happened a few times over a thousand years. The fact that all four Immortal Emperors survived can be considered a miracle.
Only the four great masters are arguing now, and the one who looks like a military general, the Yuan Qiao Immortal, is challenging the Yingzhou Immortal, accusing him of engaging in dirty business in the Yellow Sea, which has violated divine rules. Moreover, the bizarre fire in Yingzhou is also related to a warning from the heavens. Everything they say is well-founded and convincing - if it weren't for Feizhai being the mastermind behind all these events, I would believe them!
And then the other two immortal kings also constantly added fuel to the fire on the side, it seems that the old gossiper has a poor social reputation! Even Penglai, who should have maintained a neutral attitude, has started to become biased. Everyone is not carefully considering the truth of the incident, but relying on their own imagination to create a version of the truth that is detrimental to the Immortal King of Yingzhou and advantageous to anyone else.
The cruelest thing is that after such a scolding, even the Elysian Immortal Lord himself started to believe it a little! At the very least, those dirty and underhanded transactions were someone's private business, and in the midst of the farce of paying respects to the mountain, someone also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. Coupled with various coincidences, now that old critic suspects from the beginning whether the onslaught of beasts and chaos knocking on the door are heavens using it to discipline him?
At this moment, good news came from Shen Shenmu - a new fruit has been conceived! Heaven has not abandoned Liu Guo!
As for Qiao Guo? Now it is huddling in the corner, keeping company with Fang Guo...
This good news almost shocked everyone! God did not abandon the Li Kingdom, but the Qiao Kingdom... The Yinzhou Immortal Lord is now in a panic.
The only person who guessed a little bit of the truth, Zhao, said: ...Speaking of it, the life force of the Qiao Kingdom's female monster is really strong... Is it possible that she ran to the Zerg to be reborn? But without the female monster, will they still be able to produce a Qilin?
