Capítulo 1265: Chapter 1265: River God Above (Part 11)
Chuzheng did not sll any dicine in the courtyard; instead, she slled a strong fragrance.
The rich and fragrant scent wafted across her nose, but it wasn’t overwhelming or unbearable.
It wasn’t the fragrance of flowers, nor any scent she was familiar with.
This scent… didn’t seem to belong to the Human Realm.
Chuzheng: “!!!”
Could the Good Person Card be trying to knock out?
Clearly, Chuzheng was overthinking; Xuan Ying had no intention of knocking her out. Half an hour later, he brought out a bowl of dark dicine.
The fragrance emanated from the dicine.
“What did you add in there?”
Xuan Ying’s eyes flickered as he asked her, “What do you sll?”
“Fragrance.”
“This is used to lure the demons,” Xuan Ying said. “It’s a bit unexpected that you can sll it.”
Chuzheng touched her arm: “Am I a demon?” How did I not know I had this bloodline?
Xuan Ying: “You’re human.”
Chuzheng: “…”
I must be uniquely gifted!
Suddenly, Xuan Ying raised his hand, and with a motion in the air, there was a thud behind Chuzheng.
She turned around to see a man tumbling down from the wall, hitting the ground, and transforming into a monkey.
Chuzheng: “…”
Another demon?
Why are these demons coming here?
To eat fish?
Xuan Ying killed the demon as easily as crushing an ant. After that, he acted as if he hadn’t done anything at all.
“My na is Xuan Ying.” He introduced himself. “I’ll co again tomorrow. Please have the dicines on this prescription prepared for .”
He placed the prescription aside, nodded slightly at Chuzheng, and disappeared in a flash.
Chuzheng: “…”
No way!
You left this thing with again!!
–
Outside Hanjiang City.
The river surged and waves crashed.
A man in dark clothes walked slowly along the riverbank, gazing at the river with calm eyes.
A shadow suddenly erged from his body, revealing a dragon, a Golden Dragon.
“The thing is with her,” the man in dark clothes spoke in a flat tone, unclear whether to himself or to the dragon: “But she seems unaware.”
He had tested her before, and she was evidently just an ordinary person. Her reactions weren’t feigned.
The dragon twisted into an S-shape in the air: “Master, are you sure?”
“Yes.” The man in dark clothes answered plainly, “The other demons have noticed too.”
It’s no coincidence that suddenly there are more demons in Hanjiang City.
And from now on, there will be even more…
They are all coming for her.
For the Tongtian Temple within her body.
–
Xuan Ying did not co on the following day, but Chuzheng caught a demon that night.
One could be an accident, two a coincidence, but three?
In the past, you might not see a demon in decades, yet in such a short ti, she had encountered three.
And they were all coming to her; what treasure did she have?
Besides these few fish she captured, there was only that broken palace within her body…
So Chuzheng decided to ask.
The demon was a clam demon, but it didn’t co from Hanjiang River; it ca from elsewhere.
Chuzheng set the demon on the fire to roast.
“Just kill !! Kill !!” cried the clam demon, roasted to the point of transforming between human and its true form.
Chuzheng added fuel to the flas by her side: “Don’t scream so loudly; it’s disturbing the neighbors.”
Clam Demon: “…”
Dehydrated by the roasting, the demon was weak and gritted its teeth, “What do you want!!”
Chuzheng poked it with a stick: “Don’t worry, I’m a good person.”
Clam Demon: “???” A good person?
Can you really put a ‘good’ word over yourself?
Chuzheng asked leisurely: “I just want to know, why are you demons suddenly flocking to ?”
The clam demon looked at her strangely: “You don’t know?”
“Should I know?” No one told I should know anything! Is it that you all know, and I’m the only victim left in the dark!!
The clam demon got a bit agitated: “The Temple, the Tongtian Temple!”
Chuzheng: “…”
So that broken little palace has such an impressive na.
Should I applaud for it?
“What purpose does it serve?”
The clam demon looked at her with even more peculiar eyes.
“You really don’t know?”
Chuzheng pointed to the fish tank: “If you don’t talk properly, you’ll be their dinner soon.”
The fish in the tank quickly dipped below the surface.
They didn’t want to be dinner.
Clam Demon: “…”
–
At so point, apart from the Human Realm, the creatures from other realms began disappearing silently.
The Immortals, naturally, have long lifespans, yet even they now seem to be eting ends faster in the Divine Realm.
The sa goes for the Demon Realm.
Initially, no one paid much attention; after all, creatures with long lifespans tend to be solitary.
Occasionally, they would go into seclusion for decades or even a century.
By the ti they noticed, significant numbers of creatures across realms had fallen.
However, realizing the situation was useless; they had no idea why, and couldn’t prevent it.
Only the Human Realm remained unaffected, with a natural cycle of life and death. Later, it was discovered that the Human Realm was absorbing the strength of other realms.
This wasn’t man-made; it was the operation of Heaven and Earth Laws, which they couldn’t stop.
Thus, it was decided among the other realms to close their pathways, excluding the Netherworld, and seal themselves off.
This decision ca unexpectedly, leaving many still in the Human Realm unable to return, abandoned.
Among them were divinities, demons, and others.
But after so many years, few remain in the Human Realm.
The Tongtian Temple beca their only hope.
As long as they enter the Tongtian Temple, they can bypass the laws and survive.
To survive, since the closure of the inter-realm pathways, everyone has been vying for the Tongtian Temple.
But for nearly a century, there has been no news of the Tongtian Temple.
Chuzheng propped her chin: “Whose is the Tongtian Temple?”
“When the Divine Realm closed its pathways, the temple was left down below to protect the Divine Clan mbers who couldn’t return. This temple can change sizes freely to accommodate many people.”
Jin Li had ntioned that the temple surfaced alongside the River God.
The River God appeared in Hanjiang City around a century ago, coinciding with the disappearance of the Tongtian Temple.
So for the past century, the Tongtian Temple has been at the river’s bottom.
Is that eel really so powerful?
And why does that temple insist on flying into her body?
Chuzheng pondered for a while and raised a question: “Since it belongs to the Divine Clan, can demons use it too?”
The clam demon nodded: “Yes…”
Though it doesn’t know why, demons can indeed use it.
Chuzheng: “…”
That’s really quite unprincipled!
“How do you know the Tongtian Temple is with ?”
“When the Tongtian Temple erges, there will be golden light…”
Chuzheng checked herself; where was the golden light?
“You… you’re a re human… a mortal, you can’t see it, but other creatures can.” The clam demon trembled saying Chuzheng is mortal; are humans now so powerful?
“In our eyes, the entire Hanjiang City is covered in scattered golden light, and around you… it’s the most intense.”
