One sword cheat

Chapter 48 The Remains of the Ancient God

Zhang Yunqing remained silent; she was unaware of such an unexpected turn of events.

This darkness is the true culprit behind the destruction of the Xiaoqing Kingdom, but the ancient gods are powerless to intervene. Luo Yunxi, however, is unaware of this and dares not shut down the Shangqing Immortal Light.

But the person had already passed away, and she decided that after everything was settled, she would move to Yucheng with her people.

Selling these hundreds of ancient beasts should be enough to secure the future livelihood of Sanfu Town.

Chen Ren looked up and suddenly felt strange. Who was his master talking to?

He followed Zhang Yunqing's gaze and saw only a patch of celestial light, but could not see what was inside the light.

But Zhang Yunqing's voice was already suppressed: "This is my fault. I thought that if I solved the source, it would be fine, but I didn't expect that the land god would take this opportunity to release the ancient beast."

"If it weren't for Senior Sister, Sanfu Town would never have been able to withstand the hundreds of ancient beasts that followed."

Luo Yunxi shook his head, not blaming Zhang Yunqing, but instead showing gratitude.

His gaze then fell on Chen Ren and he said, "Thanks to my nephew, if it weren't for him, those dozen or so ancient beasts would have been enough to destroy the entire Sanfu Town."

Chen Ren seemed to hear someone praising him.

He stared at the ball of light, and the more he looked, the stranger it seemed. Was there someone inside?

Who is Master talking to?

Zhang Yunqing was surprised and taken aback: "Xiao Ren has this skill?"

[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +100]

"This increase of one hundred sword-drawing points is excessive!" Chen Ren was about to retort when Zhang Yunqing stopped him, continuing to speak to Bai Guang:

"Let's leave that aside for now; I have something more important to ask you."

Zhang Yunqing's gaze swept towards Sanfu Town: "I came here after chasing the remnants of the ancient god. That thing was divided into eight parts, seven of which have been cut off, and now only one part remains."

"From afar, I saw the red light fall on Sanfu Town. Within a hundred miles, only Sanfu Town still has living people, so it must be here."

This was Zhang Yunqing's main purpose in pursuing him.

"You continue to maintain the Shangqing Immortal Light to protect this place and prevent Him from escaping. I will drag Him out in the remaining time."

Zhang Yunqing's eyes swept across the entire Sanfu Town like those of a hawk, with a faint Daoist aura flowing through them.

The ancient god's name was invoked, and in an instant, the entire Xiaoqing Kingdom was sacrificed. More than four million people and countless other beings became offerings, allowing His true name to be revealed to the world.

But this is both its success and its failure; if the remaining ancient gods do not dissipate, they must rely on living beings.

She was certain that the ancient god was here!

"Xiao Ren, don't leave my sight from now on, just in case."

Zhang Yunqing gave a word of advice, and then she began to float in the air, sitting cross-legged in the center of the four mountain peaks of Sanfu Town.

As soon as Chen Ren looked up, he could see his master suppressing everything from high above.

Looking at the bra covering his master's head, he felt truly at ease.

But when did this cheap master leave Sanfu Town?

Chen Renxin was heartbroken. If he had known she wasn't there, he would have used the Frostwashing Sword directly. That way, he could have used fewer sword-drawing points and dealt with those ancient beasts much faster.

The number of deaths will be much lower.

No, that doesn't hold up to scrutiny either. After all, there are so many eyewitnesses in Sanfu Town, he can't explain it either.

After the ancient beast incident, almost every household in Sanfu Town suffered death, plunging the entire town into grief.

Chen Ren and the others had no choice; birth, aging, sickness, and death are simply part of human nature.

Ancient beasts are not naturally occurring creatures from the ancient world and should not be eaten.

What makes them valuable are their sharp horns and bones. Chen Ren discovered that these horns did not look like biological structures, but rather resembled some kind of mineral.

The townspeople gave him the unicorn horn, but the bone was not as valuable as the unicorn horn, so Chen Ren couldn't take it with him and could only leave it to the villagers with regret.

Sword drawing skill +50!

And those corpses that were left without bones gradually turned into soil.

That's really strange. Is this also a rule of the ancient realm?

Chen Ren was unaware that it was the divine power of the land deity that had transformed the flesh and blood into soil, while the bones, containing minerals, remained intact.

This proves that His divine office has been taken over by many Foundation Establishment experts, meaning He is essentially dead.

"Sir, when can we resume classes?"

After resting for three days, Chen Ren was awakened by a knock on the door. He opened the door and found three children with haggard faces.

Xiao Shi, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Hu, what brings you here?

He was a little puzzled, because these three children usually avoided him when they saw him, for fear of being called on to recite texts.

Not to mention they would proactively come over to ask him when class was.

"Have you settled things at home?"

Chen Ren toyed with a smooth white stone in his hand, his gaze sweeping over their dark circles.

"You haven't slept well for the past three days, have you? I'll allow you to rest for two more days."

"Sir, we don't want to rest."

Xiao Shi stepped forward, gritted his teeth, and said, "My grandfather is dead. If we learn knowledge, we can bring them to the big city."

"You certainly wouldn't encounter such danger in big cities!"

For them, this was an undeserved disaster.

I have never seen so many people die in this town since I was born.

As Xiao Shi spoke, tears began to stream down his face.

"My father, mother, and uncle are all dead..."

Xiaoxuan was even more distressed. Her eyes were red, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing. As she spoke, she choked up.

The words Chen Ren was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Three children are looking at you with teary eyes. What would you think at that moment?

He didn't know that these were all irrelevant people, but he just couldn't muster any interest in them.

"Let's go, class starts today."

He didn't say much more.

When we arrived at the cave, it was still in the same state as it had been when it was struck by the ancient beast.

But all twelve children arrived, standing in neat rows looking at him. Although they didn't say anything, Chen Ren saw a fire burning in their eyes.

"Attend class."

The classroom was unusually quiet today, and the children's attitude towards learning was more serious than Chen Ren had ever seen before.

Even though it was time for school to end, they were still unwilling to leave.

"Sir, please tell me a little more."

The little fish pleaded, "Please tell us more, so we can get everyone out of here sooner."

They didn't want to face that kind of danger again; they didn't want any more deaths.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Chen Ren shook his head and said, "I will adjust the pace according to your learning progress. You have already learned a lot today."

"Go back now. If you can't remember it, there's no use learning any more."

Chen Ren urged the children to go home, and he followed them out of the cave.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw the remaining able-bodied men begin cleaning up the debris and repairing the parts damaged by the ancient beast.

Some people, still injured, were clearing away the broken branches and leaves.

He went up to offer his help, but was refused by a town resident who looked to be around sixty years old.

"Sir, please go back and rest. How can we let you do such dirty and tiring work?"

They sped up: "Don't worry, sir, the school will definitely be repaired by tomorrow, and it won't delay your classes at all."

Chen Ren did not refuse. He went out for a walk and found that they had not even had time to restore their own home, but they came to help him repair the school first.

So he wanted to join the cleanup team, feeling flattered and overwhelmed by such respect and kindness.

"Please don't do these things. If you do such rough work, the clan elders will scold us to death."

The townspeople objected and told Chen Ren not to interfere.

Chen Ren looked up at Zhang Yunqing, wanting to ask his master what he should do.

Zhang Yunqing did not respond to him.

But then a resident of Sanfu Town came along; it was the same person who had brought him water outside the school earlier.

He said sincerely:

"Don't worry about them. You should cultivate even harder. You need to know that all of this is because we are not strong enough. If we can expand the human race's territory, this kind of situation will not happen."
