Chapter Thirty-Nine: Earthly Mayflies
The water splashed by the waves fell from the sky, soaking the clothes of all the disciples of the Poison God Altar.
The coldness of late winter and early spring soaked in, and everyone was shivering.
I don't know if it's because I'm cold or scared.
The devastated Master of the Poison God Altar looked at the river that had been cut off by the sword and slowly merged. He looked at the Master of the Mountain God Altar wearing the mask of the evil god and the mountain god spilling blood into the river together. He was a little dazed.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that the young man in white clothes was already standing in front of him without knowing it.
The Master of the Poison God Altar stared blankly at Kong Chenzi, as if he was looking at a mountain, a cloud, or a patch of sky, except that he didn't look like a person.
Only such an existence like a mountain, like a cloud, or like the sky can make people feel so out of reach and should not appear in the human world.
"Where is the leader of the Five Gods Religion?"
The leader of the Poison God Altar looked at the young man in white looking at him with the same look he had when he first met the leader of the Five Gods Religion.
"Is it too costly to sacrifice human beings? Over the years, the court has regarded us as a thorn in the side, and the people have complained. Can we find another sacrifice?" When I first took over the position of the altar master, I knelt on the ground in fear.
The leader wears a costume and moves his hands, and all the characters on the stage dance with him.
"Is there more in the world than humans?"
"Humans are like grass. No matter how many people die, so what?"
"In the last years of the previous dynasty, Huang Hou raised an army and massacred Jiangzhou with a hundred thousand armored men. The corpses floating in the river were eaten by fish for a month, and nine of the ten houses in Jiangzhou were empty."
"Decades later, Jiangzhou is still the prosperous Jiangzhou."
"They are just like weeds, they can't be killed! They can't be cut down!"
He has never forgotten the eyes behind the mask and the bone-chilling words: "The value of the Five Gods Religion lies in this. If you don't even have the value to use it, you are just like weeds. You might as well feed the Five Gods."
Go ahead."
A line of opera sings out his indifference to all sentient beings: "A ephemera in this world, living and dreaming of death."
Staring into Kong Chenzi's eyes, the owner of the Poison God Altar was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, and finally rolled over in the mud, shouting as he backed away.
He pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at Kong Chenzi in an embarrassed and ridiculous manner.
"Don't put on such a sanctimonious face in front of me. You are the same as him. You are all the same."
"Do people like you really care about moral justice? Is there anything else in this world that can restrict you?"
"He regards us as pigs and dogs, and the world as nothing more than trash."
"And you are playing a trick of playing tricks on the mortal world and acting chivalrously."
"You are so high above us that you have never taken us mortals seriously."
The leader of the Poison God Altar yelled, and after finishing his final words, he seemed to have lost all his strength, lying on the ground like an old dog with tears on his face and unable to breathe.
His hair was spread out and he was covered in stains. He no longer had half of the aura of the master of the Jiangzhou Poison God Altar, but a lunatic.
Kong Chenzi looked at him quietly without any movement, as if waiting for his final answer.
It wasn't until a long time later that the Master of the Poison God Altar calmed down. I don't know whether he was truly desperate or just tired.
After a long silence, he spoke.
"We have been used for a long time. We are just useless waste. We established the Five Gods Religion for him. Over the years, what he wanted to do has been accomplished, and we are just abandoned and used as scapegoats.
It’s just a shell.”
"You can't find him. He won't make enemies of people like you just for ants like us."
The master of the Poison God Altar looked at Kong Chenzi: "Aren't you a god? Just count it with your fingers!"
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! You can't find him."
The master of the Poison God Altar moved instantly, or perhaps knowing that the man in front of him would not let him go, he grabbed the knife and wiped it on his neck.
Poison God Altar’s final choice proved that he is a charlatan.
Blood spurted out with a loud cry.
He endured the pain and didn't want to make a sound, as if he was maintaining his last bit of dignity.
But he couldn't stop the weakness all over his body.
Finally, he knelt in front of the boy in white and fell to the ground.
The body was swaying, looking at him with his face covered in blood, and then he grinned at him.
"I am a……"
"Ants!"
Before he died, he seemed to hear the long drama again, and the figures dancing like colorful clouds.
"A worm in this world, dreaming of life and death."
The master of the Poison God Altar closed his eyes and rolled down the ferry.
The river is surging, and when the water rolls in, it floats away with the waves.
The boy in white turned around and walked past the river bank.
Behind him, the disciples from the Poison God Altar who came to participate in the siege were turned into ashes one after another.
In the end, the entire ferry was deserted.
At this time, a ray of green light came out, and the green dragon protector boy sat on the green dragon sword, showing a look of jealousy.
"This man deserves to die. He has done many bad things. I don't know how many people have been fed by him to monsters like the God of Poison. It is easy for him to die so easily."
"It's not over yet!" The boy in white walked toward the avenue alone.
In that direction and at the end of the road is Yuandefang.
The entire Jiangting County has just begun to experience the impact of the death of the Poison God and the Mountain God.
The Five Gods Sect, which has been entrenched in Jiangzhou for generations, also begins to collapse tonight.
When the landslide occurred, it was not just the Poison God Altar and the Mountain God Altar that were killed by the falling rocks, nor was it even just a Five Gods Cult.
In the land of fireworks on both sides of the river, after the Poison God appeared on the river, a large number of people were seen gathering here.
The darkness on both sides of the strait was filled with people. Even though the sea had calmed down a long time ago, and even though the immortals had long since disappeared, they had not dispersed.
At the same time, various people came to check and collect news. Some people cheered when they learned that the Poison God and the Mountain God were dead, while others had their faces covered in black ash.
In the entire Jiangzhou, which force is not closely related to the Five Gods Sect?
Whether you are an official, doing business, or various underground forces, etc., you cannot escape the Five Gods Religion.
They hurriedly brought back the news of the deaths of the Poison God and the Mountain God. At the same time, they also spread the bombshell news of the arrival of Gongzhou Sword Immortal Kong Chenzi to Jiangzhou.
When the Poison God Jin Chan died, an official in official uniform also left in a hurry and quickly took a carriage to Prince Jian's Mansion in Yuandefang.
Prince Jian's mansion occupies half of the entire Yuandefang. It is filled with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, surrounded by gardens and rockeries, and has thousands of servants.
Tonight, too, there was changing of cups and cups, and endless singing and dancing.
The hall was full of civil servants from all walks of life in Jiangzhou, and even military attachés, all of whom had been bribed by Prince Jian's Mansion.
It can be seen that the entire Jiangzhou has completely fallen into the hands of King Jian, and has gradually been controlled from top to bottom, becoming a member of the palace.
Sitting high in the main hall is a handsome and majestic man in ordinary clothes. He looks quite imposing. This is King Jian Chen Sui.
At this moment, a man who looked like a eunuch came forward and said something. King Jian immediately stood up and walked to the back.
The official who rushed over immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty! The Poison God is dead."
"Tonight, the plan of the Poison God Altar and the Mountain God Altar to ambush the Gongzhou Sword Immortal Kong Chenzi failed. It seems that the other party was well prepared."
It was precisely because of the Five Gods that King Jian was able to control the entire Jiangzhou so quickly after being entrusted to Jiangzhou. There is no one who is not paying attention at this moment.
The official looked a little frightened, too frightened by the sight of the Poison God Golden Toad being burned alive on the river.
"Xiaguan watched the Poison God being burned alive, and the entire river turned into a flame."
