Chapter 96 Sand Fills the Sky, Earth Collapses! (1)
Although Zhou Hongyi did not go to see Cui Heng directly after arriving in Lu County, he still got Liu Zhizhen to send the news that the Wang Family of Langya and the Xie Family of Pingshan had joined forces to attack Lu County.
Three days later, at dawn.
After Zhou Hongyi finished burning incense and fasting, he brought Liu Zhizhen to the governor’s office and presented his visitation card.
Then, Xu Feng’an walked out.
“Please come in.” Xu Feng’an smiled and said, “Lord Governor is already waiting inside.”
After entering the government office, he took out the talisman and handed it to Zhou Hongyi.
“This is?” Zhou Hongyi was a little puzzled and did not take it directly.
“My Lord wants you to have this. We can’t just let you burn incense and abstain from eating. We also have to express our respect for our guests.” Xu Feng’an smiled and said, “Take it. This is a precious treasure.”
“Treasure?” Zhou Hongyi was a little puzzled. What kind of treasure would a talisman be… “This, this is?!”
As soon as he held the talisman in his hand, his heart was in turmoil.
Zhou Hongyi felt that his soul perception seemed to have been strengthened thousands of times in an instant. The Dharma and Logos of Heaven and Earth, which were usually blurry, had actually become clearly visible, allowing him to observe and comprehend them.
The essence of breaking through to the Deity Realm from the Inner World realm was to observe and comprehend the laws and principles of the outside world and adjust his Inner World accordingly.
When it was adjusted to the extent of fusing with the outside world, he would be able to mobilize the Heaven Earth Origin Qi to transform his body, open the divine treasures in his body, and break through to the Deity Realm.
The most difficult part was to comprehend the Dharmic powers of the outside world.
With this talisman in hand, it was equivalent to directly adjusting his Inner World according to the “answer”!
The difficulty of breaking through to the Deity Realm was reduced to zero!
“Unbelievable, too unbelievable. There’s actually such a precious treasure in this world!” Zhou Hongyi was extremely shocked in his heart, and he thought to himself, “This Lord Cui is definitely an Immortal. There’s no mistake!”
Before he saw Cui Heng, he was already stunned by the effect of this talisman. He was certain that Cui Heng was a hidden Immortal God, an extraordinary existence.
After arriving at the governor’s office, Zhou Hongyi and Liu Zhizhen finally met Cui Heng.
Their first reaction was that he was so young.
He looked to be only 18 or 19 years old!
Had he attained the Dao at a very young age, or had he returned to his youth after cultivating to a high level?
No matter what the reason was, it shocked the two of them.
“Greetings, Lord Cui!” Zhou Hongyi bowed very respectfully. “Greetings, Lord Cui!” Liu Zhizhen also bowed respectfully.
Although Liu Zhizhen still didn’t know how powerful Cui Heng was, in the past three days, he had heard a lot of news about Cui Heng in Lu County.
Even if he had to strip away everything else, just the fact that Cui Heng had confiscated the businesses of the aristocratic families and sects and distributed them to the commoners was enough to make people admire him.
“Please come in.” Cui Heng looked at the two of them and nodded slightly. He smiled and said, “Have a seat.”
“Thank you, Lord Governor.”
The two of them spoke in unison and sat down.
“Daoist Zhou, I have to thank you for bringing news of the Wang Family of Langya and the Xie Family of Pingshan.” Cui Heng smiled and said politely before asking, “May I know why you’re here?”
“Since you’ve asked, I’ll be frank.” Zhou Hongyi’s attitude was very humble. He stood up and bowed as he asked, “May I ask if you really have the ability to summon the wind and rain?”
When Liu Zhizhen saw Zhou Hongyi stand up, he naturally did not dare to sit down anymore. He hurriedly stood up and positioned himself behind Zhou Hongyi.
Cui Heng looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile. “Yes.”
There was nothing to hide. Since he wanted to obtain the support of the Daoyi Palace and rightfully become the State Overseer, he naturally had to show something more practical.
“Uh…” Zhou Hongyi could not help but be stunned.
Initially, he thought that Cui Heng would hide it. He did not expect him to admit it so easily.
This seemed to be a little different from the image of a legendary hermit expert.
Wasn’t it said that experts always liked to hide their strength? Even if they revealed their strength once, they would try to conceal it afterwards in all ways possible.
Or could it be that Lord Cui’s realm had already reached a certain level and he no longer cared about this?
What a carefree Immortal!
Zhou Hongyi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in his heart. Then, he took a deep breath and asked, “May I ask if you’re also the one who caused the Meteors incident in Xiling County?”
“It’s just some minor techniques.” Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled.
“As expected…” Zhou Hongyi’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He seemed to have become extremely excited as he said with a trembling voice,” I wonder if you’ve already become an Immortal?”
At this moment, Cui Heng realized that Zhou Hongyi’s body was emitting a yellow light that only he could see.
The yellow light that symbolized “desire”.
The desire to seek the Dao!
And it was extremely strong.
After Cui Heng collected it, the yellow light around the Golden Core increased by 50%.
“My Lord! There’s military intelligence!”
At this moment, Chen Tong rushed over.
He looked at Zhou Hongyi and Liu Zhizhen and came to Cui Heng’s side. He lowered his voice and said, “Lord, the alliance army of the Wang Family and the Xie Family of Pingshan are already five kilometers away from the city. I wonder how we should deal with them?”
“How many people are there?” Cui Heng asked.
“No less than 30,000!” Chen Tong’s expression was very serious as he said in a low voice, “Although these two allied forces only had around 2,000 elite soldiers at the beginning, many merchants, sects, and families heard the news and joined them along the way. They even prepared their own troops and rations to attack Lu County with them.”
