Chapter 249 No Kneeling!
"Sinner, kneel down and present the holy object to you, and I will grant you glory!" Black air rolled around the Famine Knight's body and kept seeping into reality, but was blocked by white streams of light. The entire Chinese territory, land, and sea were shrouded in a large stream of light.

"What...what is that?" Lu Ming turned to look at the know-it-all Meng Wanqiu.

"The Nine Provinces Guardian Array," Meng Wanqiu said, looking at Lu Ming, "Have you noticed a problem?"

"what?"

"You haven't participated in many scenes yet, but if you participate in more, you will find that the dark creatures you encounter are all fantasy species that exist in Western fantasy."

Lu Ming thought about the goblins, ogres and vampires he encountered and nodded.

Meng Wanqiu smiled slightly: "That's because the dark creatures belonging to our country, the Eastern Extraordinary Civilization, have all been killed by our ancestors, and only a small part is left to spawn in various places."

"The killing field game has existed since ancient times and has been involved in various nodes in history. Compared with the West, we have a biggest advantage."

"Inheritance, five thousand years of civilization is flowing, our culture, our civilization has never been interrupted, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Our ancestors used amazing wisdom to pass down the skills bestowed by the killing field."

Meng Wanqiu looked proud as he took out a yellow talisman from his arms and shook it. The talisman ignited without fire. He then stuck the burning talisman between Lu Ming's eyebrows.

Lu Ming was startled, but found that there was no burning pain, but his eyes felt cool instead.

"The Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, Qigong and other methods only appeared in ancient books and texts, and the Silent Killing Ground has also changed many names, such as Jixia Academy, Baiyujing, Lingxiao Palace, Penglai Pavilion, etc. It was not until modern times that it became the Silent Killing Ground."

"Whenever there is a great disaster, there will be disasters. Whenever there is a disaster, there will be chaos. The ancient sages still seek a permanent solution. With the inheritance and improvement from generation to generation, through many artifacts, following the Nine Provinces' spiritual veins, they finally established a great formation that encompasses China, which is the Nine Provinces Protector Array."

Lu Ming opened his eyes wide and could see wisps of light flowing, and these streams of light were spread over every piece of land in China.

"With the large formation, we only need to clear out the dark creatures in the territory. Oh yes, it was called a disaster at that time. Under the maintenance and monitoring of the large formation, the difficulty of the dark creatures coming directly from the spiritual world has greatly increased, especially in modern times. With the help of Eve, the two-layer monitoring network is enough for us to detect the coming of the crisis in advance. This is why we acted faster than Armenia and avoided the real reason for the arrival of dark creatures." Meng Wanqiu said.

"Then, is there a time when the Jiuzhou Great Formation becomes ineffective?" Lu Ming thought for a while and asked.

Meng Wanqiu was silent for a moment: "Yes, there have been many times, and the most tragic one was in modern times."

Above the spiritual world, at the edge of the Jiuzhou formation.

"You dark creatures are really weird. When you open your mouth, you're a sinner, and when you shut up, you kneel. Are you born superior to others?" Xia Ling put away the scales and pointed the wooden box in his hand at the Famine Knight, as if that thing could release a rain of pear blossom needles.

The Famine Knight hesitated a little, and adjusted his body with the wooden box, not caring even when the scales were taken away: "You are born guilty, we control the balance of the world, and we must punish you from heaven. Kneel down!"

The thunderous roar echoed in his ears, but Xia Ling did not shake, and concentrated on fiddling with the wooden box.

"What is she doing?" Lu Ming stared at the screen.

"There is a killing weapon hidden in the wooden box. We need to lock A-004 and activate the power of the Jiuzhou formation to find an opportunity to kill instantly." Meng Wanqiu explained. "Is it so troublesome?"

"What do you think this is? This is the true form of an A-level creature, much stronger than the one you encountered in the scene. They are born to be disasters. If the battle is dragged into a protracted war, I'm afraid the surrounding areas will be turned into ashes and no grass or trees will grow." Meng Wanqiu said, pointing at the infiltrating black gas.

Gu Qingyuan stared at the wooden box thoughtfully.

"Our ancestors left us many things. They told me that I don't need to fear or worship gods. They told me that when a flood comes, there is no need to send down an ark to save the world. Instead, we need to rely on the power of mortals to dredge the river and clear the water veins." Xia Ling held down the wooden box.

"On that day, there were ten suns, and the sky and earth were scorched. Instead of bowing down to the Golden Crow or kneeling before it, you should take up a great bow and shoot arrows at nine of the suns, causing them to fall from the sky."

“Even if the pillars of heaven collapse and the Milky Way flows backward, there will be people who stand up, refine stones to mend the sky, and use their bodies to mend the sky!”

"They told me a lot and left a lot of messages, and those things that have been said or have not been said are flowing in my blood." Xia Ling's left hand fingers climbed up to his right wrist.

"But they never told me to kneel down before something like you!"

She pointed her finger and a drop of bright red blood rolled down and landed on the wooden box. The endless fluctuations in the spiritual world paused for a moment, and then erupted even more violently.

With strong fluctuations, the wooden box slowly opened. There was no golden sword engraved with flowers, birds, fish and insects, nor any evil weapons with monstrous demonic aura, but only some trivial objects, or a few pieces of paper, or scraps of cloth, a broken knife handle, and a corner of a bright red flag, as if someone had put them in there at random.

Looking at the box, Meng Wanqiu sighed: "The Jiuzhou formation was once broken, not because of the invasion of dark creatures, not because of natural disasters, but because of one person's negligence."

"After the establishment of the Jiuzhou Great Formation, the territory has become much more peaceful. After a long time, people will always slack off. Moreover, this is not something that happened overnight, but has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years."

"At the intersection of ancient and modern times, the profession of guarding the Great Array of Nine Provinces was passed down to the lineage of Senior Chang Qingzi. The senior had a profound cultivation base and a mastery of thunder magic, so he was called the Young Heavenly Master. At that time, the Silent Killing Field had not yet descended, and the traces of dark creatures were already few and far between."

"Besides, the senior was not that old at the time, and he met a woman while traveling around the world and became her confidant. Who would have thought that this would sow the seeds of disaster?"

Meng Wanqiu sighed, "The woman's true identity is a spy from an overseas island country. Seeing that China has favorable geographical conditions and good people, with the people living and working in peace and contentment at home and the protection of a large formation outside, she deliberately sabotaged it in order to take advantage of the situation."

"That woman took advantage of the opportunity to destroy a node in the Jiuzhou formation. Fortunately, Senior Chang Qingzi was alert and quickly repaired it and killed the woman."

"But it was too late. The island nation found a Zhuyan from somewhere, a dark creature that symbolizes war and killing. They took advantage of the moment when the Jiuzhou formation was stagnant to send it into Shenzhou, and used a secret blood sacrifice. The moment Zhuyan fell into the trap, its true form descended, and the aura of war and swords swept across Jiuzhou."

Meng Wanqiu turned around and said through gritted teeth: "Thus, the most absurd and tragic war in modern times has begun!"
