Chapter 474 Chaos breaks out!

When the divine monk Ci Ning said this, all the practitioners present changed color, even the City God Huo Guang couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

The implication of Monk Ci Ning's words was that he was dissatisfied with the power structure in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

In recent years, although various sects in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have been fighting openly and secretly, they have still maintained a situation of fighting but not breaking. Once the words of the Ci Ning monk came out, the situation may change drastically!
Fortunately, from what the monk Ci Ning said, there are other opinions in Xuedou Mountain and they are fighting against them, so Xuedou Mountain is still maintaining a friendly situation towards the outside world.

Once Xuedou Mountain reaches a consensus, it will break the current situation. Other major forces will also inevitably join in, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas will fall into war like the north!
Huo Guang sighed inwardly. He gathered so many practitioners here in order to solve another big problem that might destroy Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, when these people gathered together, the situation that everyone had been tacitly building could no longer be maintained.

This was not something that a City God like him could suppress. Although he was already one of the most powerful people in the world, the people present here and the forces behind them were not something he could suppress with just a few words.

To be honest, as a City God, he has to rely on these big forces, which control their respective territories. If everyone abandons them and changes the statues of the City God in various places, he, Huo Guang, will immediately fall from the clouds into the mud.

So he could only speak gently to ease the conflict, saying, "Divine Monk Ci Ning, I asked you all to come here today because I have another important matter. This matter is of great importance and concerns the safety and survival of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Other matters can be put on hold for now in the face of this matter."

Although the monk Cining was arrogant, he still had some respect for the City God Huo Guang. Upon hearing this, he snorted and sat back, meaning that the matter would not be mentioned for the time being.

Tu Sisheng sighed and sat back, but his expression was listless. Yu Boyi, on the other hand, looked at the monk Ci Ning with sharp eyes, which was quite provocative.

The monk Ci Ning noticed Yu Boyi's expression, but just sneered and ignored it.

When this episode happened, the competition on Xin Zhen's side had already been decided. Lin Hongfeng and Xia Zengju were actually unwilling to accept the result and wanted to fight Xin Zhen to the death.

But after seeing the statement made by Monk Ci Ning, he immediately realized that war would soon break out in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If his sect took the last seat, it would surely become the target of public criticism.

It would be fine if it were normal times, but if it were in a time of great strife, it would probably not be a good thing, but rather a way to death. It would be better to just give up.

Thinking of this, Lin Hongfeng and Xin Zhen bowed and said, "Master Xin, I, Old Lin, am convinced by this formation."

After saying this, he turned around and walked down the stone platform.

Xia Zengju was able to integrate the twenty-two guilds, but it was not done by force alone. Although he was young, he was actually very good at dealing with people. He just reacted a little slowly at this time. When he saw Lin Hongfeng's fate, he immediately said, "Brother Xin, I am also convinced."

Having said that, he immediately left the scene.

Huo Guang quickly took this opportunity to divert attention and said, "Well, Master Xin, please take a seat. This is a good warm-up. Let me tell you about today's important event first."

The Puhui Divine Monk of Mount Putuo smiled and said, "General Huo, please speak."

Xin Zhen walked in and took his seat. Feeling the envious and jealous gazes from the audience, he just smiled slightly.

At this time, Huo Guang started talking about the Netherworld Well, which immediately surprised many people. However, the people on the stone platform remained expressionless. It seemed that they had actually known the news a long time ago, after all, Huo Guang had contacted them before.

Some of them were not known just this time. Some sects have a very long history. For example, Mount Xuedou, Mount Putuo, and the Eight Major Families of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not emerge in a short period of time. They have a long enough history and are not completely ignorant of the Netherworld Well.

Huo Guang finished his explanation and then said, "Heroes, let's come up with a plan. How should we deal with this matter?"

At one time, many people put forward suggestions, which were nothing more than sealing the Netherworld Well. When they heard that it was extremely difficult and basically impossible to do, they said that no matter what monster came out of the Netherworld Well, as long as everyone rushed forward, they would definitely be able to win the battle.

When Huo Guang pointed out that the foul air in the Netherworld Well was extremely harmful to ordinary people and might cause them to lose their minds and attack other ordinary people, someone asked whether this foul air would have any consequences for practitioners.

Huo Guang said that there was basically no impact, and immediately many people looked much more relaxed. Some people suggested that ordinary people should be evacuated as much as possible, but more people ignored it. Even when Huo Guang made this request, everyone's expressions were indifferent.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Those who have embarked on the path of cultivation have long believed that they are no longer the same as mortals. If the foul air of the Netherworld Well affects the cultivators, they may care, but if it only affects ordinary people, then it doesn't matter.

As for helping these mortals migrate, that is absolutely impossible. To migrate so many people, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources. Now is the time to fight for hegemony over the world. Who would be willing to spend so much energy to help mortals?
However, their statement sounded very good. They asked General Huo to make the arrangements and they would definitely send outstanding disciples to assist in the matter.

But looking at their expressions, Huo Guang thought that what they said was probably true. The disciples they sent might indeed be outstanding, but they would probably only send a few of them.

In the face of such a disaster, what can a few people do?
It's better than nothing.

Huo Guang sighed repeatedly in his heart. These powerful people did not care about this matter, because their interests would not be greatly affected. In their opinion, if the Nether Well erupted, the people would leave on their own, and when the Nether Well fell silent later, they would come back again. The people are not cattle and sheep, they will survive on their own, so why bother themselves?
As for how many people will die, how many people will be displaced, how many women will lose their husbands and children, and how many children will lose their parents during this period, they will not think about such things. Even if they do think about it, they will just brush it off with the saying that heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs.

Huo Guang actually understood these people. If Huo Guang could stay out of it like them, he would not have worked so hard.

The reason why I work so hard is that my life and death depend on the faith and support of the people.

The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang do not need to die out completely, as long as half of them die, then his throne will collapse.

And his spirit and soul will no longer be able to be even a wandering ghost as the throne collapses. Its soul will fly away with the throne. There will no longer be the Great City God General Huo in the world.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang's heart was already cold. The Heroes' Conference at Huqiu Mountain did not come up with any measures. Everyone just said some polite words and then left one by one. Perhaps some people would arrange some things after returning, which was nothing more than arranging the evacuation of their relatives and friends. As for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they might care about it, but they also thought that this was impossible to do and ignored it.

And even more people are rushing back. They will use this news to quickly sell off all kinds of assets and exchange them for easy-to-carry gold, silver, rare treasures, etc. Some people will even take advantage of the panic to sell all kinds of materials at high prices.

The interests of all people in the world are not as important as one's own interests. This is just human nature.

When the moonlight shone down on Tiger Hill, Huo Guang sighed and stood up. Xin Zhen saw off the last guest from the hillside, walked up to Huo Guang and said, "General, this is my fault. I didn't expect these people to react like this. I worked in vain."

Huo Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not all in vain. At least these people's families and friends will spread the news, which will save some effort when evacuating in the future."

Xin Zhen was silent for a while and said, "Huashan Sect is already making preparations. We can participate in the migration at any time."

Huo Guang patted Xin Zhen's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well done, Master Xin, you are great."

Xin Zhen smiled, then told Huo Guang about the many arrangements of the Huashan Sect. The more Huo Guang listened, the more surprised he became.

He originally thought that Xin Zhen's so-called preparations were just to help persuade the people to leave during the evacuation, which was already hard enough, but he didn't expect Xin Zhen to be so thoughtful.

Not only did they take into account the people's food, clothing, housing, transportation and medicine on the road, but they even arranged where they were going.

This is someone who truly intends to do things for the people!

Huo Guang was filled with awe. The more he compared Xin Zhen with those people, the more he could see his shining points.

Huo Guang thought for a moment and said to Xin Zhen, "Master Xin, just do it. The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not let you sacrifice it in vain. The City God Temple will not be lost by Huashan Sect either."

Xin Zhen was delighted to hear this. Although Huo Guang did not say anything explicitly, he probably promised him that he would definitely reward him and the Huashan Sect in the future.

Although Xin Zhen didn't know how Huo Guang would repay him, since he said so, there would definitely be great benefits in the future.

This could be considered a pleasant surprise. If the Huashan Sect could help enough people in this great migration, the good reputation accumulated would be the greatest reward. Huo Guang's promise was actually a pleasant surprise.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "We in Huashan Sect do not seek any reward for what we do. Our disciples are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is unreasonable for us to watch our fellow countrymen suffer. We are just doing our part."

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "That's true, but these sects that have appeared recently are all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they were born and raised here. But look at their performance... hehe."

The two talked for a while, and then Xin Zhen said goodbye. The people from Wuhou Gate were still waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, ready to follow him to visit Lingshan.

Xin Zhen went down the mountain and found Wei Chaqing, She Ziyi, Shen Xigu, Song Shiyi and others were also there.

Wei Chaqing smiled and said, "We met Brother Yu and his group when we came down. They said they were going to Huashan Sect to stay for a while. We don't have anything to do for the time being, so I wonder if we can go and bother them?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I have invited you all before, but I was just busy and didn't have time to tell you. It would be a real honor for you to come to my Lingshan as a guest, not a bother at all."

Wei Chaqing and others burst into laughter upon hearing this, appearing extremely happy. This happiness was not pretended but genuine.

Today they saw Xin Zhen defeat three Jindan masters in a row, and they were all Jindan masters who were the most respected in their factions. Later, he even faced two Jindan masters alone. This kind of combat power is comparable to that of the elders of those big forces.

Xin Zhen is now comparable to the elders of those big forces, yet he can be so kind to them. Naturally, they feel flattered, and the surprise on their faces is not fake.

As for the Wuhou Gate group, except for Yu Boyi who remained the same as before, the others had changed their faces.

Tu Sisheng no longer treated Xin Zhen as a junior like before, but treated him as an equal. When he saw Xin Zhen coming, he came over to talk to him. His words always implied that Master Xin should interact with him more often in the future and give more guidance to the younger generation.

However, Lu Mengjia and others did not dare to talk to Xin Zhen. To be honest, they felt that they were not worthy of him. After all, he was the leader of a sect and his strength was even stronger than Elder Tu. In their hearts, Xin Zhen was already a senior.

Xin Zhen knew this very well, but he didn't think anything of it. When it comes to strength, everyone has their own judgment and gives people the treatment they deserve. This has always been the way the world is, and there is nothing strange about it.

Xin Zhen smiled and called everyone together, released the flying boat, asked everyone to sit down, and then returned to the shore of Taihu Lake, Lingshan.

The flying boat landed near the sacred mountain. Looking down from a height, Tu Sisheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Although this sacred mountain is not high, it is quite spiritual and has the momentum of a dragon coiling and a tiger crouching."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Elder Tu, you are too kind. There are no high mountains in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We just have to make do with it out of helplessness."

As the flying boat landed, Lingshan's mountain-guarding formation recognized the flying boat and flashed as a whole, instantly scaring everyone on the boat so much that their hair stood on end!

At this moment, they felt as if they were being locked by thousands of sharp swords, as if they would be chopped into meat paste in the next moment.

Tu Sisheng asked in surprise: "Is this your sect's mountain-guarding formation?"

Xin Zhen said apologetically, "Yes, I did scare everyone. The mountain guarding formation is not sensitive enough. It always reveals some aura when identifying, which scared everyone. I'm sorry, sorry."

Tu Sisheng praised: "This breath of energy is so amazing, I'm afraid it's not much worse than our Wuhou Sect's mountain defense formation."

At this time, Lu Mengjia suddenly asked: "Elder, what do you think that is?"

Everyone looked in the direction Lu Mengjia pointed and found a monster with a human head and a snake body breathing in moonlight on top of a hill.
