Raining blood from the sky?

This is the symbol of the second wave of invasion from the Qingxu Realm in my memory, and represents the official beginning of the war between the two realms.

No matter the thirty-three days where immortals and gods live, or the mortal world where countless monks and mortals live, they will all be involved in this protracted war.

Why is this second wave of invasion considered a formal war? Because there was not much fighting between the two realms last time. At most, the Qingxu realm declared war and made some arrangements.

This time, the Qingxu Realm's offensive tore through the defenses of the Zhoutian Star Formation, and the high-end forces from the two realms fought fiercely.

Heavenly Court's strategic plan to defend the enemy from outside the boundary membrane also failed.

The cracks torn open thousands of miles high in the sky are the cracks in the boundary film. If there are high-level monks here, they can even glimpse the outer starry sky through the cracks.

That is the real world that cannot be set foot in unless it is a fairyland.

Of course, as the Zhoutian Star Formation is the highest formation in heaven, breaking through the Qingxu Realm will inevitably require a heavy price.

The last time, in order to create chaos in the mortal world and bring the end of the dynasty to an early stage, the Qingxu Realm sacrificed a Taoist artifact.

But this time, in order to break through the barrier again, the Qingxu Realm sacrificed countless people, even sacrificing a semi-saint, just to find the weak point of the Zhoutian Star Formation.

When the saint fell, heaven and earth mourned together, and rain of blood fell.

But after all, he was a semi-saint from another world. Zhou Bai did not feel any sadness in the world. The blood rain was more like the anger of Tianyuan world.

Why shouldn't she be angry when the flesh, flesh and power of the rules of a semi-saint from another world caused a bloody celestial phenomenon in the world?

Zhou Bai estimated that some high-ranking officials in Heaven are currently under great pressure. They carry out orders on behalf of Heaven, only to have the world suffer such humiliation.

In fact, Zhou Bai didn't understand why the Qingxu Realm could accept such a replacement.

If a big figure like the Half-Saint has died, how many resources will be consumed by other Sequencers who died in the battle?

In a war between two worlds, when the gap in strength is not large, the attacking side often has to pay several times the cost of the defending side.

And all this cost was only in exchange for some cracks being briefly opened in the Zhoutian Star Formation, which allowed a certain amount of troops to pass through and burn the flames of war to the mainland of Tianyuan Realm.

Could it be that their serializers are not as valuable as the monks in the Tianyuan world? Or maybe the extraordinary civilization in the Qingxu world is more developed than the Tianyuan world?

However, due to the lack of vision in his previous life and the current war process, no matter how Zhou Bai deduces, there are many loopholes in his answer.

While trying his best to recall the events after the bloody rain, he strode outside.

The first is the chaos caused by ghosts!

In front of Tianren Archway, a group of cavalry stood waiting silently.

They wear bamboo hats and raincoats. If you look closely, there is a layer of black armor and stomach inside, which makes them look very powerful.

Chen Zhongbang, Zhou Yuan and other civil and military core members rushed to Zhou Bai as soon as the bloody rain fell. At the same time, the Zhuang Ding camp quickly entered the clan area and was ready.

With the experience of dealing with the red moon celestial phenomenon last time, they did not dare to neglect it.

"Lord, the county captain's attitude is ambiguous, and he does not necessarily support you. If you go to the county at this time, there may be unforeseen dangers." Chen Zhongbang didn't know Zhou Bai's plan, but he still tried his best to advise.

Zhou Yuan looked at the red raindrops dripping all over the sky and felt a little uneasy: "My lord, why don't you wait until the bloody rain stops before setting off on the road? News will come from the county by then."

Zhou Bai didn't say anything, but blew his whistle, and a response like a cow's moo came from the stable a few hundred meters away.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clicking sound on the ground. In just a few blinks, a dragon horse with a white moonlight on its forehead and its body like charcoal galloped towards Zhou Bai.

Since Ao Lin and Ao Xia taught it some method, Wei Jing's appetite has increased several times during this period. He is used to eating the spiritual fruits fed by Zhou Bai, and now he only eats things grown on Cangshan Mountain.

The spiritual energy content is a bit low, but I can't bear to eat more.

Now I see my figure getting closer and closer to the dragon, as if my bloodline has returned to its ancestors, even the horse's braying has turned into a cow's moo.

Jing Jing's majestic horse is so powerful that most people would not dare to control it, but in front of Zhou Bai, he is extremely docile.

He touched the high-spirited horse's head, then got on his horse, pointed at the cavalry and said: "Are you worried that my Jijing will not be able to carry me back in time, or are you worried that they will not be able to protect me properly?"

Dongdongdong~

Upon hearing this, the fifty riders turned their horses' heads one after another, and then hammered their chests in the direction of Zhou Bai. There were no unnecessary movements or shouts, and their sincerity was fully displayed.

What else can Chen Zhongbang and Zhou Yuan say, their lord is still a monk himself.

"Immediately send a letter to all villages to notify everyone. The more people there are, the better. No one is allowed to go out alone. There will be ghosts taking advantage of the chaos at night to harm people."

"All the clan members are staying in the ancestral land. Zhou Yuan has led the Zhuang Ding camp to strengthen the defense. Our Zhou clan has the blessing of the ancestral spirits, so there should be no serious problems. There is a mountain camp in Cangshan Mountain, and Yue Yun will take care of it personally." In order to prevent it.

Although the purpose of this trip could not be achieved, Zhou Bai still gave instructions on some important matters to prepare for any eventuality.

"Promise." At this time, the Qunshitang and the civil and military officials of the inner government who came with umbrellas all agreed to the promise.

Zhou Bai said no more, pulled the horse rope and rushed out, followed by fifty cavalry led by Gao Hu.

The drizzle of blood is falling, and most of the raindrops will be blocked by raincoats and bamboo hats, but some will drip on the face or even the mouth.

Is it poisonous? Or like the last red moon, can it make people crazy?

No, it will not have any effect if you come into contact with it and drink it, and it is harmless to the human body.

When in the air, the blood rain is still bright red, but when it falls to the ground, it turns into colorless ordinary rain, because this is just a celestial phenomenon caused by the death of the semi-saint and the rules of escape.

The key now is that after the blood rain, the half-saint power that pervades the cracks completely disappears, and the Qingxu Realm will invade their Tianyuan mortal world.

It happened to be the time after Emperor Daxu's death and before the new emperor ascended the throne. His luck was weakening and the power of the dynasty's laws was at its lowest point.

In normal times, the power of the dynasty's laws can suppress the world, and the official laws are like a furnace, refining all grievances and evil spirits. For many years, not a single thing about a ghost harming anyone will be heard.

But once the dynasty reaches the final stage of its lifespan, all kinds of strange and strange things will increase. The lower the administrative level, the less populated and more remote the area, the less suppressed the monsters and ghosts will be.

This is a saying that has been circulated since ancient times.

When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.

Similar to the current situation in Daxu, where the young emperor succeeds to the throne, the strong king assists the government, and the prince transfers the title, the dragon energy cannot be attributed to one point, but is scattered widely.

Laws and regulations are lax, dragon energy is scattered, and people's hearts are gradually losing. The suppression of the demons and monsters in this world will be weaker than ever before.

When the power of humanity is in the doldrums, a new dynasty emerges without making a fuss, and then hides in a dark place with its tail between its legs?

This wave of invasion from the Qingxu Realm is to seize the opportunity of the death of Emperor Xiangxing. The political situation in Daxu is in turmoil, and the upper and lower officials cannot form a joint force.

Moreover, Zhou Bai remembered very clearly that enemies from other worlds would also target the underworld of the Tianyuan world, and the first order of demons from that world were known as wandering souls.

There are many gods monitoring the mortal world, and monks from the sect regularly slay demons. No matter how many evildoers there are, there is a limit.

But once the ghosts of the underworld appear in the world of the sun, they will pose a huge threat to ordinary mortals.

…

Ji Jing was originally a high-quality dragon horse, able to travel thousands of miles in a day without any problem. After being trained by Zhou Bai, it became even more galloping like a dragon.

The fifty cavalry led by Gao Hu ran so fast that they were frothing and could not see the tail of Wei Jing. You must know that their horses were not bad, they were all high-quality war horses smuggled from the grassland.

However, even with a slight delay, Zhou Bai arrived at Pingcang County before dusk fell.

As expected, the city gates were closed, and the atmosphere was strange. The scattered soldiers at the top of the city wrapped themselves up tightly, and most of them were hiding in the towers.

Seeing Zhou Bai coming with fifty cavalry, alarm bells went off, and other county soldiers reluctantly came out to defend.

The guards at the top of the city were very curious as to why this group of cavalry was so brave and dared to brave the blood rain.

"Who is down there? Are they some thieves who don't know how to live or die and want to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city?!" A school lieutenant poked his head out from the top of the city and shouted loudly.

At Zhou Bai's signal, a rider behind him stepped forward and said, "Open the city gate. Master Zhou Bai, editor of the Hanlin Academy, is here. Open the door quickly!"

The knights also understood. They didn't say anything about the clan leader at all, and directly applied for the official position.

The Seventh Rank Hanlin compiled it and placed it in Pingcang County, but no one could suppress it.

As soon as Zhou Bai's name came out, the city suddenly became quiet. Some people were discussing whether to open the door, or they were sending someone to ask for instructions.

After a while, the captain stuck his head out again and shouted down: "Can you please show your face to Mr. Zhou for a moment?"

Zhou Bai didn't make things difficult for anyone. He took two steps forward and took off his bamboo hat, revealing his handsome and determined face.

The captain immediately raised his hands and said: "Sir, Shouxian County has an order that during special times, the city gate cannot be opened at will, especially if you have fifty cavalry."

"Why don't you take the gondola and enter the city alone?"

Zhou Bai didn't bother to pay attention to the proposal of entering the city in a hanging basket, and replied coldly: "My trip is related to the survival of the people in the county, and I need to enter the city immediately. The county magistrate does not allow it, but have you asked your county captain?!"

The county lieutenant of Pingcang County is called Xu Yun, and he obtained the official position through the influence of his family. This is why Shou Heng thinks that he is easy to handle.

The good-for-nothing young man would definitely not dare to confront a county magistrate with a princely background. After all, the county magistrate is only an eighth-level official, so he is two heads shorter.

However, Xu's ability may be insufficient, but he is not stupid. As a county military officer, he can often remain independent in political struggles.

Moreover, he had long discovered that the Zhou family's force was a little too strong. When Shou Heng insisted on sending troops, he simply made a tacit agreement with Zhou Baida.

You gave me the golden man's head and trophies, and your achievements are not small. Then I will reciprocate and let you develop.

No matter what the Zhou family wants to do, I will definitely be promoted and transferred if I get the head of more than a hundred gold men.

When the captain of the city head saw Zhou Bai carrying Xu Yun out, his expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said: "After your Excellency enters the city, if you can let your guards stay in the camp to drink tea, then I will take the responsibility for opening the city gate without authorization.

"

"Yes." Zhou Baidan said calmly.

He didn't understand what the captain meant. He was just worried that too many fifty cavalry would cause trouble, so he wanted to stay in the military camp in the city and watch.
