Chapter 157: Purgatory on earth, the power of the Lord of Dongting Lake, and the afterglow of the past competition!

Shen Xi’s army, before the Qin Dynasty conquered all the countries, this elite army enjoyed a great reputation in Kyushu, as famous as the Iron Eagle Warriors and the Jisha Crossbow.

But after the Qin Dynasty swept through all the other states, there was no trace of Shen Xi’s army. It was rumored that they were wiped out by General Wang Jian in the battle to conquer the State of Chu.

But unexpectedly, in Dongting Lake in the heart of the Qin Dynasty, traces of Shen Xi’s cavalry appeared!

“Quick, open the city gate…!”

The county magistrate, who was looking out from the top of the city wall, made a decision immediately. The Shen Xi cavalry were all cultivators with great accomplishments and were extraordinary.

Once they are allowed to pass through the city gate safely… the whole city will fall!

After all, Ancheng is just a small city in Dongting Lake, and its defense is extremely weak. Even the city walls don’t have any formations engraved on them. You can imagine how weak it is.

However, the county magistrate’s words were too late.

Without waiting for the soldiers defending the city to open the city gate, a horseman came galloping over, raised his hand to grab the spear that had shattered the body of the defending soldier, and swept it away fiercely.

boom!
The huge city gate was instantly smashed into pieces and turned into powder, and the entire city wall shook!
In an instant, all the soldiers near the city gate exploded and turned into pools of flesh and blood.

The county magistrate on the top of the city wall looked at this scene, his heart and liver were broken, and his mind was also broken.

Even if Ancheng’s defense force was weak… all the soldiers defending the city were wiped out with just one strike. This strength was a bit too terrifying.

“The chickens and dogs are vulnerable!”

“Sure enough, after the death of the First Emperor, only a shell of the Qin Dynasty remained, floating on the surface!”

The Shenxi cavalryman sneered disdainfully, then turned his head to look behind him, bowed respectfully and said: “Young Master, this city has been taken!”

Just one horse took over a city… This is the strength of the Shenxi Iron Cavalry!
And there are now as many as eight hundred such Shenxi cavalrymen!

“Don’t worry about it. After we break through the city, we will continue to rush forward and kill anyone we see or who tries to stop us!”

“The Emperor Qin II’s carriage stopped at the edge of Dongting Lake, which is quite a distance from here.”

Xiang Yu held the reins without even looking at Ancheng, a small city of little value and no importance, which was not even in his eyes.

If it were Xianyang City…it could still be considered praiseworthy.

“promise!”

The Shenxi cavalryman clasped his fists, then grabbed the reins and followed Xiang Yu into the city with the 800 Shenxi cavalry. All the men and horses they met along the way were killed!

Then they passed through the city and went to Dongting Lake.

The Shen Xi cavalry was like a thunderbolt, falling from the sky and then disappeared.

On the top of the city wall, the county governor was still in shock for a long time, and collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself: “Where did these Shenxi cavalry come from… Wait, did they just say Dongting Lake!?”

Hiss!
In an instant, the Ancheng County Magistrate reacted suddenly, his eyes reflected an extremely horrified look, and he muttered: “They are heading for His Majesty’s tour carriage!”

“Oops!”

The Ancheng County Magistrate had no time to observe a moment of silence for the sacrificed soldiers defending the city or deal with the aftermath. He quickly got up and sent the message quickly through the magic circle.

However, even the governor of Ancheng County did not expect that the Shenxi cavalry was not only powerful, but also incredibly fast as lightning.

……

At this time, Dongting Lake.

After Qu Yuan was granted the title, temples dedicated to him began to be built around Dongting Lake. Every day, people came here in an endless stream to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Wisps of incense and vows flowed like streams toward Dongting Lake.

It can be imagined that this stream will gradually grow stronger over time until it becomes a vast ocean.

By that time, Qu Yuan’s realm would probably not just be Taiyi Jinxian, but would be on the way to Daluo Jinxian.

“The prayers of the common people are easy to answer, but these practitioners… are difficult to deal with.” Qu Yuan is inside the statue, which is not his real body, but the transformed body of incense and prayers. He stares at the worshippers who are kneeling and praying devoutly in the temple.

Among them, in addition to the people of the 800-li Dongting Lake, there are also some practitioners. Practitioners are essentially different from ordinary people. Once they get involved in the affairs of practitioners, even a god like Qu Yuan will be contaminated by cause and effect.

Therefore, when Qu Yuan saw these practitioners praying, he was also very conflicted.

This is because the merits and virtues of the practitioners’ incense and offerings are very rare.

Especially human practitioners.

Basically, even if it is a human cultivator who refines essence into qi, the incense and vows he generates are equivalent to the incense and vows that can be generated by a hundred mortals.

But at the same time, the wishes of these practitioners are difficult to fulfill.

As a god, it is not enough to just enjoy the incense, but also necessary to fulfill the wishes of the incense worshippers.

Of course, this depends on the situation, and not all wishes of incense burners need to be fulfilled.

Once completed, the deities of worship will receive unimaginable benefits.

“I just want to know the whereabouts of my brother after he was conscripted as a laborer… It’s not difficult.”

Qu Yuan sat among the statues, looking at the practitioners praying in the temple, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a trace of throbbing suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart, instantly occupying Qu Yuan’s heart and turning into overwhelming resentment in a flash!

“Um!?”

Qu Yuan’s heart trembled, and his body powered by incense and vows turned to look into the distance. Endless black clouds were pressing down, carrying with them unimaginable resentment and wailing, as if hell had descended!

This is a large number of human beings… perished!

“What’s going on?” Qu Yuan was confused and uncertain, and for a moment he was indescribably shocked.

Then, he used his great power as the Lord of Water of Dongting Lake to take in the entire 800-li Dongting Lake.

then……

A tragic scene like purgatory on earth appeared in Qu Yuan’s mind like a picture scroll.

The eight hundred iron cavalrymen were like ghosts and gods descending to the earth, leaving endless blood along the way!
“Shenxi Iron Cavalry!”

Qu Yuan woke up with a start and muttered to himself, “How could it be… someone from the Xiang clan? Asshole!”

The new Lord of Dongting Lake turned pale and dispersed the Dharma body formed by the power of incense and vows.

next moment–

Boom!

A loud bang was heard from the bottom of Dongting Lake, followed by a huge wave.

Dark clouds are pressing down from above the sky!
Countless aquatic creatures, wearing armor and holding spears, guarded Qu Yuan, who was wearing divine robes, and rode the waves towards the distance.

In a flash, Qu Yuan led the Dongting Lake navy to a place thousands miles away from Dongting Lake.

And on the ground, eight hundred Shenxi cavalrymen came grimly, dragging endless blood behind them.

“presumptuous!”

Qu Yuan saw at a glance the appearance of eight hundred Shen Xi cavalrymen, roaring like thunder and coming majestically!

In an instant, the eight hundred Shenxi cavalry were caught off guard and stunned.

“Mr. Dongting Lake Water?”

The Shen Xi cavalry looked at him in doubt and uncertainty, then they knew who the person was.

However, a hesitant voice followed closely behind: “Wait, you are… Lord Situ?”
