Chapter 30: As if the Heaven is Above (Monthly Ticket Plus)

With the departure of Ying Zheng, the dark energy that covered the sky and the sun remained lingering, and wherever it went, eternal night fell.

Inside the bronze coffin, Zhang Daoling watched all this but could do nothing.

……

A temporary camp has been set up on the outskirts of Mount Li.

Military forces from several legions were redeployed around Mount Li.

Although Ying Zheng had been taken out of the coffin, they had not forgotten that there were still more than a hundred Heavenly Masters in the imperial mausoleum!

These one hundred Heavenly Masters were already Flying Zombies even before they sucked human blood. Once they broke through the imperial mausoleum, with the qualifications of many Heavenly Masters, I'm afraid that each of them would be able to be promoted to Corpse Master in the future!

Ying Zheng and his men could not stop them, but these one hundred heavenly masters must be trapped and die in the imperial mausoleum, otherwise the Dragon Kingdom would really be in danger of destruction.

In the command room, Jiang Shan put down his phone.

Nowadays, the internet is full of videos of Ying Zheng descending from the sky carrying dozens of bronze coffins.

The heat could no longer be suppressed, and ordinary people began to know that the former Emperor Qin Shi Huang had returned to the world.

"Jinshan Temple is gone... It seems that the group of Qin soldiers went to Mount Tai. People have been sent to evacuate all the people around Mount Tai."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command room fell silent.

"Ah, it's expected." The old Taoist sighed.

Although Jinshan Temple is not as good as Longhushan, it is also a temple with a thousand-year heritage.
Now it's gone just like that.

"Everyone, take a look at the video." Jiang Shan took out a video and circulated it to everyone.

This was taken by satellite at the time.

Among the many disciples of Jinshan Temple, not a single one survived.

Everyone looked at the video of Ying Zheng slaughtering many monks of Jinshan Temple with ease. They felt a little bit reluctant, but not too surprised.

They didn't know how powerful Ying Zheng was, but everyone present understood one thing, that is, even if all the sects were combined, they would probably not be able to defeat him with just one hand.

"This person... may be venting his inner anger." The old Taoist priest looked at the video and spoke after a moment of silence.

Among all the people present, he was the only one who had felt Ying Zheng’s terrifying pressure up close.

At that time, Ying Zheng was still in the bronze coffin. Even so, the old Taoist priest could clearly feel the terror of the First Emperor.
With just one thought, he, the most powerful person in the world, would probably die on the spot.

With such strength, it only takes a thought to destroy Jinshan Temple.

But Ying Zheng chose to take action himself and smashed all the people in Jinshan Temple to death with his fist!

The only explanation is venting.

"Yes, that's what the higher-ups think too!" Jiang Shan nodded and agreed with the old Taoist priest.
"That person was trapped in a bronze coffin for two thousand years, so after he came out of the coffin, he had a period of venting."

"So what they mean is, wait and see what happens, and as long as there are no large-scale deaths of ordinary people, just ignore it."

"Old Heavenly Master, have the disciples from Mount Longhu withdrawn? Don't go back during this period!"

"I'm afraid not." The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If the First Emperor wants to vent his anger, killing people is not enough to vent his anger!"

"There is no one in the gate, and the mountain is empty. I am afraid that will make that person even angrier."

This is what the old Taoist priest is most worried about.

Ying Zheng went on this trip just to kill people!

How to vent anger if no one is dead?

Especially in Longhu Mountain, every Heavenly Master from generation to generation was buried in the imperial tomb.

Someone must die in Longhu Mountain!

"Hey, old Taoist, I have to go back to Mount Longhu."

"Old Taoist Priest!" Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this.

This sentence is undoubtedly a suicide mission.

"Old Master, we can't go!" Jiang Shan also spoke quickly.

If we let the old Taoist priest go back, he will surely die.

Didn’t I say it before? Even the gods have to avoid the Heavenly Official’s blessing.

You are an old man. You were scared to death and cowardly before, but now you are eager to give yourself up.

"A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, so he can temporarily avoid the sharp edge!" Jiang Shan said earnestly.

"A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, but the Heavenly Master has the responsibility!" The old Heavenly Master shook his head with a firm tone.

"I, Zhang Heqing, the contemporary Heavenly Master, will die if I die!"

"He who dies after fulfilling his duty has a righteous fate."

The old Taoist priest's face showed no emotion.

If he didn't die, Longhu Mountain would have to face even greater wrath from the First Emperor.

From then on, the world was vast, but there was no place for Zhengyi Dao anymore.

They couldn't hide from Ying Zheng.

Jiang Shan looked at the old Taoist priest with a complicated expression.

Death is not scary. What is scary is that you foresee your own death but still face it.

The old Taoist priest understood the horror of the First Emperor better than anyone else, but in the end, he was the one who had to bear the consequences. "Old Taoist priest, maybe someone else could die."

"But I am a Heavenly Master!"

……

Longhu Mountain.

A holy place of Taoism, where the main gate of Zhengyi Sect is located.

It is recorded in books that Mount Longhu is a blessed place with wrinkled pines and mosses, clear water and bottomless mountains. Immortals once came here riding on cranes.

Today, this Taoist holy land is no longer as lively as it used to be.

It was so deserted that even the residents of nearby cities had been evacuated by the authorities in advance.

The negative energy blocks the sunlight, and darkness invades the world.

Ying Zheng's figure appeared on the path behind the mountain, and four of the bronze coffins behind him were missing.

It was the bronze coffin that held Huikong and three other people, and it was left by him in Jinshan Temple!
"There is no one on the mountain. Did they run away? It seems that only one person is left." Ying Zheng murmured, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He could sense that there was only one person in Longhu Mountain.

The world is so big that if Ying Zheng wants to kill someone, he can’t do it no matter where he goes!
"However, Zhengyi Gate seems to be a sign-in location as well."

Most of the Taoist lineages of the tomb-guarding Taoist priests are check-in locations refreshed by the system.

This is just right, I got these rewards by the way.

Zhang Daoling in the bronze coffin behind him looked at the scenery outside with a dazed expression.

After more than 1,800 years, he is back.

But this method was not acceptable to Zhang Daoling.

Following the mountain path, Ying Zheng took a step and arrived at the gate of Zhengyi Mountain.

There was no one inside the door at this time.

Only at the mountain gate, there was an old Taoist priest in white robes sitting cross-legged.

"Your Majesty." The old Taoist stood up and bowed.

"You're not running away?" Ying Zheng looked at the old Taoist priest with interest. He had seen him in the underground palace before, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who stayed behind.

Or it could be said that he came back from Mount Li on purpose.

"Don't run." said the old Taoist priest.

He was smart enough to know that Ying Zheng came here to kill people.

If he fails, he will only face greater retaliation, so he, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect and the contemporary Heavenly Master, deliberately stayed here.

Only he, the Heavenly Master, is worthy enough to die for everyone.

"Your Majesty has come here to kill people, and I am here to die." The old Taoist priest looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ying Zheng looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him.

The 165th Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, the one in front of you looks most like Zhang Daoling.

But, he is the least like Zhang Daoling.

He is very timid and refuses to live.

"He who dies after fulfilling his duty has a righteous fate."

"If this is the destiny, I shall die."

The old Taoist priest had a calm expression on his face. He was afraid of death, but he also knew the current situation and how to avoid the spotlight for the time being.

That day in the underground palace, he could just kneel down, even go against his ancestors and lick the First Emperor, but he would compromise and look for the Heshi Bi.

But if you must die, then die.

He can be afraid of death, but he cannot live behind others.

The Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master shall die in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "To die in shackles is not a righteous fate!"

If I remember correctly, it was he who sent the Heshi Bi. It's a pity that it belongs to someone from Longhu Mountain.

After a pause, he continued:
"If you can satisfy me, the rest of us can be spared!"

"Really?" asked the old Taoist priest.

"My word is as good as gold!"

"Okay!" The old Taoist flicked his long sleeves and a golden light flashed.

Looking at the old Taoist priest in front of him, Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, and the bronze coffin behind him fell to the ground.

"I am the contemporary Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect!"

"The Taoist Master of Heaven - Zhang Heqing!"

"With the help of the ancestors, I will ask the First Emperor..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest's aura surged, and golden energy shone from his eyes.

"My way is as high as the heavens!"
