Chapter 324: Inciting Public Indignation
The people of Anyue shouted:
"Immortal, what is going on?"
"Our Anshan Mountain God is a kind and benevolent god!"
The appearance of the immortal immediately attracted all the people nearby.
Soon, Anyue's officials were alarmed.
Officials from nearby arrived quickly.
"My Immortal, may I ask what is going on?"
The official looked up at the sky and saw Li Yuan being punished, and his mind was greatly disturbed.
But he still had some sense and asked his servants to keep an eye on the people.
More and more people crowded in, and the people were very excited when they saw the miserable appearance of their own mountain god.
The official didn't know what was going on, and at this moment he just hoped that there would be no trampling.
Moreover, some yamen runners received the order and left to report the matter to the palace.
The immortals in the sky were a little impatient and didn't want to waste their time talking to these mortals.
But he could only pretend to be kind and compassionate, waiting for the important person of Anyue to arrive.
Soon, Emperor Anyue was alarmed.
Upon hearing that the immortal had appeared in the world and brought the scene of Li Yuan's suffering, he immediately left the palace and rushed over.
"My Immortal, I am the Emperor of Anyue, and I have come to pay my respects to you."
Emperor Anyue bowed according to the ritual of human emperors offering sacrifices to gods.
“These images…”
Emperor Anyue looked at the picture showing Li Yuan covered in blood and weak, and frowned on the spot.
The immortal in Taoist robes sighed and slowly told the story of how Li Yuan was punished.
"Li Yuan, the mountain god of Anshan, has a kind character and is an upright immortal."
"But because of some things, I angered my superiors and was punished so much!"
The immortal sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"This time, God punished me because of the collapse of Beiyuan. This is just a small punishment."
"But the Heavenly Court is unfair. Some immortals hate Anshan Mountain God Li Yuan and want to punish him severely!"
"I can't bear it, so I told you about this."
"Otherwise, if the power of heaven is merciless and he cannot survive the punishment of lightning, flooding and fire, then Anshan will have a new mountain god..."
"You mortals who have received his great kindness may not know it yet!"
The immortal in Taoist robes had a compassionate look on his face and an immortal demeanor.
There was a sense of regret and lament in his words.
However, Emperor Anyue showed surprise on his face, but he did not believe it in his heart.
The appearance of an immortal caused such a big commotion, but there was no reaction at all in the mountains. It was really strange.
Maybe it was covered up by some means.
Once it is covered up, there must be fraud.
Emperor Anyue put his hands behind his back and pretended to frown.
But, someone moved his fingers quietly behind his back.
Gu Jian, who was following closely behind him, had no change in expression, but had already seen it out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately understood and began to move back quietly among the crowd.
With light movements, he quietly left the dense crowd, wanting to go to Anshan and contact the creatures in the mountains.
However, no matter how subtle the movements of mortals are, how can they escape the eyes of immortals?
The immortal in Taoist robes stood in mid-air, his eyes flashing darkly.
But on the surface, there was no response.
Emperor Anyue is thoughtful, dignified and calm, and able to remain calm.
But the bewildered people couldn't do it.
Hearing the immortal's loud words, they were all shocked.
"Ah, what shall I do?"
"Beiyuan, isn't that the place where the mountain god killed the big demon and defeated those evil gods?"
"My god, our Anshan Mountain God is a good god, a good god who saves people from suffering... Please help him, help him!"
The people were very excited, and some even began to kowtow and pay homage.
In mid-air, the scene of Li Yuan being punished, with his flesh and blood rotten, was still playing.
The thunderbolts that struck Li Yuan also seemed to strike directly into the hearts of the people.
How could they bear to see their own mountain god being tortured like this?
More and more people came upon hearing the noise, curious about the appearance of the immortal.
As a result, I saw this scene and heard the immortal say:
Their own mountain god was severely punished in heaven for killing demons and protecting them, and for disrupting the affairs of Beiyuan!
He might even be executed by the might of heaven!
I only heard the immortal stroking his beard and saying:
"Ugh!"
"It's not that I don't want to help him, it's just that the Heavenly Court is dark and unfair!"
"Those great gods took advantage of him because he was insignificant and honest, and they thought of ways to torture him!"
The immortal showed a look of pity on his face.
There is a kind of power in that voice that goes deep into people's hearts.
It begins by telling how kind Li Yuan is and how unfair and dark the heaven is.
They looked like they sympathized with each other but were powerless to save the situation.
The people naturally knew Li Yuan's kindness and remembered his good deeds.
As I listened, I became more and more angry:
"The gods in heaven are really evil. How can they confuse right and wrong like this?"
"Our Anshan Mountain God is kind and compassionate, and he cares about all living things!"
The immortal looked at the people's growing anger and continued to speak with a certain power:
"Alas, the heaven is unfair, the heaven is unfair..."
A helpless look.
The people were affected by that power, and their anger completely clouded their reason, and they began to curse.
They accused the Heavenly Court of injustice and demanded that their mountain god be cleared of all innocence and given justice!
On the ground, Emperor Anyue had a gloomy look on his face and frowned deeply.
Thanks to the protection of dragon energy, those forces could not affect him.
When I saw the people suddenly riot, I understood.
Although this immortal has a sage-like appearance and a compassionate face.
But he came here to cause trouble!
This is clearly intended to stir up the people's resentment towards the Heavenly Court and incite them to do foolish and disrespectful things!
Li Yuan had talked with him at the beginning, saying that he had already stood on the side of Heaven and followed the trend.
He once warned: An Yue must never do anything disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, and must not leave any evidence of "treason".
Otherwise, it might attract the plots of many immortals and gods with ulterior motives!
When he thought of this, Emperor Anyue secretly called for someone.
He ordered some civil and military officials who were still conscious to take people to evacuate the people.
Even if I can't call the people away.
At the very least, basic order must be maintained to avoid a major chaos.
At the same time, he stood in front of the people, looking angry but calm.
"People of Anyue!"
Emperor Anyue raised his arms and shouted.
Some guards behind him also shouted.
Suddenly, the noisy and excited people calmed down a little.
For Anyue, the prestige of Emperor Anyue is unquestionable.
However, the emotions have been aroused and it is not easy to calm down.
There was still surging anger in his eyes.
Although Emperor Anyue is old, at this moment, he stands tall and looks vigorous.
"It is a good deed for the immortal to remind us so that we mortals will not be ignorant of the inside story!"
"But, on Anshan, there are many trusted followers of the Mountain God."
"Let's not worry. I believe they will make a decision after hearing about this!"
Emperor Anyue stood straight, wearing a dragon robe, exuding the majesty of an emperor.
Although he is standing in a huge crowd, he can be seen as a leader at a glance.
The immortal appeared in the world and brought the scene of Li Yuan being punished.
This has a huge impact on the people.
Emotions are bound to be extremely high.
Emperor Anyue did not go against the people's sentiments and directly expose the matter.
Otherwise, it would be easy to cause trouble.
After all, when people are excited, they can’t think too much.
Moreover, this immortal obviously used some means to deceive people.
So, he tried his best to delay time, waiting for the creatures in the mountains to react.
Hearing the words of His Majesty the Emperor, the people were excited and were about to shout something.
He was interrupted in time by Emperor Anyue.
"My people, we are all the people of the Mountain God!"
"We will never tolerate the Mountain God being wronged!"
"But, everything has its rules!"
"If we cause trouble, I'm afraid that the Mountain God will suffer more!"
Emperor Anyue had a dignified countenance and a strong body, and his wrinkled face was filled with calmness and steadiness.
The originally chaotic scene was instantly calmed down by him alone.
Since Anyue was established, everything has been thriving.
Most of the people had experienced many things, and they were sincerely respectful to him.
He saw that his own emperor was calm and steady, yet not cold and timid.
He immediately calmed down a little.
but.
How could the immortal in the Taoist robe be willing to let Emperor Anyue reverse the situation?
He immediately cast a spell in secret and spoke:
"The Anshan Mountain God is suffering. Why, you dare not even speak out?"
"That's it! That's it!"
"It turns out that you are just cowards!"
"What a pity that the Anshan Mountain God loves his people so much. What a pity, what a pity!"
A hidden force swept over.
The people's emotions, which had calmed down a little, became turbulent again.
"Yes, we can't wait!"
"Otherwise, the mountain god might be struck to death by lightning!"
The people's eyes were red and full of anger.
"The heaven is unfair, let's give justice to the mountain god!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Suddenly, thousands and tens of thousands of people nearby started shouting.
Some were so affected that they picked up hoes and shovels and headed towards the Jade Emperor Temple in the city.
It looked like there was going to be a big mess.
Emperor Anyue glared at him and shouted to stop him.
But the voice was drowned out by the people’s angry shouts!
Moreover, if the soldiers were asked to forcibly stop the people from venting their anger at this time, they would probably be considered cowardly by the people.
Filled with anger, civil unrest may happen at any time!
"Gu Jian, please come back quickly..."
Emperor Anyue was anxious.
In order to try to stabilize the situation, he could only give orders and ask people to lead the soldiers to keep a good eye on the people.
If someone really wants to do something disrespectful, stop them in time.
In fact, many soldiers were also affected and their minds were confused.
But there are still some soldiers in the army who have great cultivation and are able to remain clear-headed.
He immediately accepted the order.
At the foot of Mt. Anshan.
Gu Jian rode his horse and came galloping over.
Looks anxious and moves like the wind.
But before he set foot on the mountain path, he saw a figure in a Taoist robe.
The immortal in Taoist robes stood at the edge of the mountain, just blocking the mountain road.
Behind him, there was a mysterious golden lamp floating, which was obviously an extraordinary fairy treasure, and its light enveloped the entire Anshan.
Shielded the mountain's induction.
Gu Jian frowned and dismounted immediately.
"Immortal..."
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
The whole body is tense, ready to escape at any time.
The immortal in Taoist robes chuckled disdainfully, seeing through all his thoughts.
Across the air, he stretched out his hand towards Gu Jian.
A magical power penetrated directly into Gu Jian's forehead.
"There is a cliff next to it."
"If you fall down, you'll end up in pieces."
"Go."
The Taoist robed immortal smiled, turned around and disappeared into dust as if he was dealing with an insignificant little bug.
Gu Jian was trembling all over, resisting some terrible force.
But soon, his eyes became dull and he stood straight, motionless.
The mountain road is just around the corner. Just a few more steps forward will break through the golden lamp shield and attract the attention of the creatures in Anshan.
But...Gu Jian can no longer do it.
After a moment, his face was blank and he turned around stiffly.
Walk towards the nearby cliff.
Step by step, heavy and silent.
Since then, the twelve Anyue guards who fought bloody battles in the capital...
No one anymore.
