Chapter 209: Long Drought
"revenge?"

When Zheng Pingkang heard Ye Qingyang mention these two words, a glimmer of fire flashed in his eyes, but it quickly went out.

His complexion returned to normal, he shook his head calmly and said, "No need."

Fang Chen looked at him in surprise, but he could guess what he was thinking. He just didn't expect that his state of mind had reached such a high level in just a few months.

You have to know that he agreed to become his subordinate just for revenge.

"Eh? Why?"

Ye Qingyang was full of confusion. Now that he had the chance to take revenge, how could he miss it?

In front of him, Lingshui Sect was nothing but a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs. He could easily destroy Lingshui Sect, and even destroy the mortal kingdom controlled by Lingshui Sect, and restore the Kingdom of Tian.

It can also increase the influence of the Immortal Dynasty.

In the world of cultivation, this kind of thing is very common.

"When I first regained my consciousness, my heart was indeed filled with hatred. However, after I calmed down, I kept thinking about one question: who should I take revenge on?"

Zheng Pingkang described the change in his mentality in a calm tone.

"Isn't this simple? Lingshui Sect, the mortal kingdom supported by Lingshui Sect, and the other sects and countries that invaded Tian Country, can't they all become your targets of revenge?"

Ye Qingyang really didn't understand what was so good about this, so he simply listed all the forces related to the demise of the Tian Kingdom.

"Did Tianguo perish because of them?"

Zheng Pingkang raised his head and looked at Ye Qingyang calmly.

"Of course not, it's because no new foundation-building cultivators were born in Caomu Valley... I understand what you mean."

Ye Qingyang was the actual controller of the Tianfeng Sect, and of course he knew the real reason for the demise of the Tian Kingdom.

No new foundation-building cultivators were born in Caomu Valley, which managed the Tian Kingdom, so the Qi-cultivating disciples of Caomu Valley and the secular kingdom it controlled were divided up by several surrounding sects.

If Feng Kingdom did not border Tian Kingdom, perhaps Ye Qingyang would also lead Tianfeng Sect to get a piece of the pie.

And he also understood what Zheng Pingkang wanted to express. The Lingshui Sect ordered its subordinate mortal cities to occupy the Tian Kingdom. They did not send cultivators to massacre the mortals themselves. They just made sure that the land was occupied by the mortals of their own sect and then left.

It is the mortals who kill innocent people.

According to Fang Chen's account, all the generals and soldiers who had killed innocent people in Huanglong City were captured by him, leaving no one alive.

In this way, Zheng Pingkang really couldn't find anyone to take revenge on.

"Before, I always regarded the disciple of Lingshui Sect as an enemy. I thought it was him who broke through Huanglong City. Otherwise, I could have defended it for a while..."

Zheng Pingkang spoke again. It was normal for him to think so. When those mortals were attacking the city, there was indeed a disciple from the Lingshui Sect who was watching everything.

It was like watching a play, watching the mortals on both sides fighting for their lives.

In Zheng Pingkang's original impression, it was this disciple of Lingshui Sect who finally broke through Huanglong City.

But that was what he saw before he died, and after becoming a soul, he did not fully recover his memory before death.

"Now I remember that Huanglong City itself had already been breached at that time, and that disciple of Lingshui Sect just threw a fireball into the sky to add to the fun."

Zheng Pingkang smiled bitterly. In fact, after recalling all this, he found it hard to accept it.

But this is the fact. Although in the eyes of the disciple of Lingshui Sect, the fighting between the mortals on both sides was just a farce, he did not attack the mortals.

Zheng Pingkang was not so petty as to seek revenge on him just for this.

"This... Then he did abide by the principles of the monks and did not interfere with the affairs of the mortal world. But no one would have thought that you, as mortals, would be so cruel. After conquering the city, you actually massacred the entire city."

After hearing what Zheng Pingkang said, Ye Qingyang was able to judge based on his own experience that the disciple from the Lingshui Sect did nothing wrong.

"Old Ye, what you said is true. There have been many times when cultivators have fought to the death. This is human nature. It is the same whether you are a cultivator or a mortal."

Fang Chen spoke at this time, with a slightly sarcastic and helpless tone.

"makes sense."

Thinking of Sun Han, whom he had killed some time ago, Ye Qingyang had no way to refute. He sighed and agreed with Fang Chen's statement.

"Under the management of Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect, both cultivators and mortals were divided into different identities. The friction and conflicts between them gradually turned into feuds, and eventually led to the tragedy of Tian Kingdom. So now I agree more with the city lord's concept. Let all cultivators and mortals become citizens of the Immortal Dynasty and settle the friction and conflicts before they escalate. Perhaps only in this way can we reduce the occurrence of such situations."

Zheng Pingkang also spoke a lot. "Is that so?"

Ye Qingyang touched his chin and thought about the logic behind it.

"It's not that simple. Even if everyone has the same identity, they will still fight for their own interests, but the form may be milder. It can only be said that it may be better than a life-and-death struggle."

Fang Chen was not trying to discourage Zheng Pingkang's belief, he was just trying to prepare him mentally in advance.

The root of all problems is production and distribution.

The problems in the world of cultivation are very troublesome. It is not the case that just because a certain dynasty or sect unifies the world of cultivation, all the problems will no longer exist.

That's obviously impossible.

If Zheng Pingkang holds such thoughts, his faith will inevitably collapse in the future.

"Thank you for the city lord's teachings."

Zheng Pingkang also knew that Fang Chen was giving him some advice, and he kept these words in mind.

"Well, if you are interested in these, we can discuss them in detail after I come back from the alliance ceremony. Now, we have to hurry to the Lianyun Mountains."

Fang Chen patted Zheng Pingkang on the shoulder just like Ye Qingyang did just now.

"Ok!"

Zheng Pingkang nodded heavily.

After saying goodbye to him, Fang Chen and Ye Qingyang also flew on their swords and left Tianfeng Fairy City.

In fact, Ye Qingyang's use of the ghost cultivation secret method to float in the air was actually a little faster than flying with a sword. However, he had to consider the image of Tianfeng Sect, so he chose to fly with a sword, which all cultivators were more familiar with, to speed up his journey.

The last time Fang Chen traveled from the Lianyun Mountains to the Jueling Swamp, it took him a full two months.

Of course, he didn't spend all his time on the journey, he also traveled around the mortal world, and this time he had already established his foundation, and he traveled at full speed, and in less than twenty days, he reached the Lianyun Mountains.

You can also clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy has risen to a higher level.

It seems that even if the third-level spiritual vein is damaged, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse and can still release a lot of spiritual energy.

"Something's wrong."

When he could see the Lianyun Mountains in the distance, Fang Chen frowned and shook his head secretly.

"what happened?"

Ye Qingyang, who was walking parallel to him, also noticed this situation and asked curiously.

"Have you noticed that since yesterday, we have rarely seen any green plants along the way. The ground is red and yellow, and many small rivers have dried up."

Fang Chen also told what he had discovered.

"It's a drought, isn't it normal?"

Ye Qingyang said nonchalantly.

"It's not normal. You may not come here often. I'm very familiar with the climate of the Lianyun Mountains. This area is a rainy place. There are occasional floods, but I've never heard of a drought."

Fang Chen shook his head. He, or the original owner, grew up in Lianyunfang City and was very familiar with the climate nearby.

No matter what, this kind of severe drought shouldn't happen.

"Maybe it's just an anomaly this year, there's no need to worry about it."

Ye Qingyang still couldn't understand why Fang Chen cared about such an insignificant matter.

"Just think of it as my curiosity taking over. I remember there's a village ahead. I'll go over and ask what happened."

Fang Chen did not argue with Ye Qingyang. In fact, what concerned him most was not the drought, but the fact that he did not even see a single person along the way.

This gave him a bad idea.
