At this moment, Gu Feng instantly transformed into a form resembling the Turtle Immortal.
*Clang…*
*Hiss hiss hiss…*
Moon God’s Fury spun wildly, like a drill.
That turtle shell was no ordinary item either. Chu Tian couldn’t discern its exact grade, but it was incredibly hard.
It actually held on for a full second against the spinning Moon God’s Fury.
This bought Gu Feng a sliver of a chance at survival.
The old fellow turned, evaded Moon God’s Fury, and fled in another direction.
“Old geezer, where are you going? I’ll make sure you don’t escape!”
Just as he dodged the piercing attack of Moon God’s Fury, his vision went black.
A large hand suddenly appeared and ruthlessly slapped him in the face.
*Slap…*
Gu Feng’s withered body, without a word, instantly transformed into a giant pinwheel in mid-air.
*Slap… slap… slap…*
…
“City Lord, if we just retreat like this, how will we report back to headquarters?”
In the forest, a group of dozens of people were those from Binhai City who had fought Chu Tian.
When Chu Tian apprehended Gu Feng and began his furious barrage of slaps, Zhao Kui directly issued the order… to run!
“A person of this caliber is simply beyond our ability to resist. The merchant guild will handle this appropriately, rest assured!”
Zhao Kui said, trying to comfort everyone as they walked.
These individuals were all older than him, yet they were all unsettled.
Like birds startled by the sight of a bow, they were clearly terrified by that brat Chu Tian.
However, a day had passed, and the opponent hadn’t pursued them, so they likely wouldn’t anymore.
Despite this, these fellows deliberately sought out the deepest parts of the forest, heading for the most difficult terrain.
This made Zhao Kui want to laugh and cry. There was nothing he could do. Although he was the City Lord and a member of the Elder Council, these people were all his elders, making it difficult to reprimand them.
He could only let them have their way!
Three days prior, when this group was fleeing, Chu Tian had every opportunity to stop them all.
However, he had already captured the main culprit.
Gu Feng, that old scoundrel, was currently being subjected to his Slap God Technique.
While he was thoroughly enjoying the beating, he didn’t have time to bother with them.
The people on the ship had all been eliminated by him. Zhao Kui and the group leading them were all from Binhai City, so Chu Tian had let them go.
After they left, all the people from the Yun Shui Hao were enlisted by Chu Tian as labor. In half a day, they constructed a tomb mound covering ten thousand square meters.
Chu Tian personally used his powers to create a towering stone tablet, ten thousand meters tall and three thousand meters wide.
Inscribed on the front were the words: “Yun Shui Merchant Guild’s Yun Shui Hao, encountering a sea eye while crossing the Nether Sea, sacrificing millions of innocent souls, hereby erects this tomb inscription to announce to the world! Commemorating the wronged souls!”
Chu Tian held Moon God’s Fury and carved these words onto the tombstone.
However, those people were pointing and murmuring.
“Do you understand what he’s writing?”
“I don’t know, perhaps some form of inscription.”
“Or maybe ancient script!”
“I observe these runes to be profound and extraordinary, perhaps condensed from some Great Dao principles!”
Each of them gazed at the simplified Chinese characters from the Dragon Country and voiced various speculations.
After the inscription was complete.
Chu Tian reached out, and Gu Feng, whose face had been beaten into a pig’s head by his Slap God Technique.
Appeared in his hand.
He stood in mid-air atop the stone tablet.
“I, Chu Tian, am not a savior, nor am I a kind-hearted person, nor do I have the ability to rescue all of you from the sea eye. But this matter came across my path… I have avenged your grievances! Da Feng Novel Network
Today, with the blood of this culprit, I shall succeed your deceased.
May you find a better reincarnation in your next life!”
Gu Feng was held by the neck.
Hearing Chu Tian’s words, he knew he was going to die.
But his weakened body couldn’t even make a sound.
He could only force his eyes open and glare at Chu Tian.
If looks could kill, Chu Tian would have been pierced through long ago.
Unfortunately.
His pig’s head-like face.
No matter how hard he tried to glare, his eyes could only narrow into slits.
After Chu Tian finished speaking.
Suddenly, a thunderclap like a bolt from the blue erupted.
Dark clouds materialized out of nowhere.
A torrential downpour began instantly.
Whether his words had angered the heavens, or if his words were inherently magical,
Or perhaps the weather was simply coincidental.
Chu Tian no longer hesitated.
He flicked Moon God’s Fury upwards.
The old fellow Gu Feng was instantly impaled through.
The three-pronged blade of Moon God’s Fury.
Pierced through his heart.
The blood-draining grooves precisely served their purpose at this moment.
Then Chu Tian tossed him forcefully.
Moon God’s Fury, carrying him, directly nailed him to the very top of the stone tablet.
Blood trickled down, instantly dyeing the inscriptions on the stone tablet red with the rain.
*Buzz… Swoosh…*
The moment the last character was dyed red, the stone tablet trembled violently, and the inscriptions on it shot out countless beams of blood-red light.
They flew towards the direction of the Nether Sea.
At that moment, the dark Nether Sea in the distance seemed to change.
A colossal wave surged into the sky.
“Not good, it’s a tide!” Those who Chu Tian had kept to witness the event revealed looks of horror.
Chu Tian, however, remained calm. The tide, or the towering wave, spoken of by the people below, did not roll towards the land after rising.
Instead, it remained suspended above the Nether Sea. After about a minute, the wave quietly receded.
Everyone was stunned, gazing at Chu Tian, at the unintelligible inscriptions, and the towering stone tablet that reached into the clouds.
Indeed, these writings were extraordinary. Everyone meticulously observed them.
Although Chu Tian appeared outwardly unfazed, his heart churned within.
As a person from the Dragon Country, he placed great importance on returning to one’s roots and ensuring the dead were properly laid to rest.
But with millions of bodies unfound, how could they return to their roots?
Therefore, he had built this mound here, which wasn’t even a cenotaph, and erected a tombstone for those people.
He hadn’t expected that all his actions would somehow trigger some law or order, leading to such a phenomenon. This was entirely beyond his anticipation.
After all this transpired, Chu Tian looked down at the people and said calmly.
“Your lives were exchanged for their lives. Those who are willing, stay here and guard this tomb for three days!”
With that, he vanished in a flash, leaving only Moon God’s Fury and Gu Feng’s corpse at the top of the stone tablet, continuously bleeding.
The old fellow’s body still emanated a verdant glow. This was from Chu Tian using his Ancient Tree form to infuse him with healing spells.
He had been keeping the old fellow’s life hanging on by a thread, continuously regenerating blood, and continuously bleeding.
This was truly a blood sacrifice…
Chu Tian, who had departed, arrived at the location where Zhao Kui and his group had appeared.
At this point, it was merely a sinkhole. However, the structure above had been the City Lord’s Mansion.
The most prosperous building in all of Binhai City.
Chu Tian desired to find a quiet place.
During his fight with Zhao Kui and the others, he had discovered the difference in this world when using stealth.
Simultaneously, upon entering stealth, he seemed to gain an enlightenment.
It was an enlightenment regarding space.
However, this feeling seemed to be just within reach, yet he couldn’t grasp it.
