Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Land of Origin

Jiang Ziya explained the origin of the "Ark of Tomorrow", and then stared at Nezha with kind eyes again.

"Little Nezha, since it has happened, we who are alive should live harder for the sake of the deceased, because they are not really far away, but have become a star in the sky, watching us all the time. The stars blinked, meaning they were smiling. The stars are hidden in the clouds, which means that they are missing. Jiang Ziya saw Nezha, lowered his head and sobbed silently, hurriedly patted him on the shoulder with his right hand, and then said: "Listen to your brother Yang, your mother is sick and bedridden, tomorrow you pack your bags early, I will let you Brother Yang send you back to Chang'an, this time you are provincial, accompany your mother more." ”

Nezha bowed his head slightly and wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve. Yang Jian followed Jiang Ziya out of the house and left Nezha alone to rest.

"Yang Jian, this demon investigation has not been successful, and you will not give up, you have to be prepared to deal with it." Jiang Ziya admonished earnestly.

"Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, when Nezha is sent to Chang'an safely, I will immediately start all necessary measures." Yang Jian said.

Jiang Ziya stroked his long hair, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "In the past two days when you go to send Nezha, I will take care of our place of origin." ”

On the second day, when the morning dawn first appeared, Yang Jian helped Nezha pack his luggage and led a sturdy nomadic horse. Before going out, the two resigned with Nuwa Niangniang and Jiang Ziya's grandfather respectively. Normally, Nezha goes out on Hot Wheels, and because of the fierce battle with the demons, he was injured in his footsteps, so Yang Jian also prepared a fast horse for him.

Nezha cared about his mother's heart, and the stirrups under his feet did not slow down due to a foot injury. The two of them walked in the direction of Chang'an and walked away.

Since the First Great War between Man and Demon, the Eastern Continent has enjoyed peaceful years for more than a century. The armed forces guarding the land of origin have also been decreasing year by year for reasons of peace. Since the completion of the Vitality Run around the wreckage of the Ark, the armed forces have been reduced to one-tenth of the original. However, it will not be a short time for Yang Jian to return from Chang'an, re-recruit the militia, and reach a considerable level of training.

At least in the short few days since Yang Jian left, Jiang Ziya, who had been idle for a long time, needed to reload and lead his personal escort to patrol the entire place of origin, especially the top priority of the patrol, the "wreck of the ark".

In the first two days, everything was relatively peaceful, and there was no trace of demons and thieves. In the early morning of the third day, Jiang Ziya got up early, came to the river with the gurgling water, danced Tai Chi lightly, breathed the world, and nourished his muscles and bones. Just as he was concentrating on cultivation, a guard ran in front of him out of breath and said, "Jiang Taigong, something is wrong, a large number of fierce demons are pouring out at the foot of the mountain in the north, and they are struggling to climb to the top of the mountain. If left unchecked, they will soon set foot on our land. ”

Although Jiang Ziya has been handsome all his life, the timing of the appearance of the demon clan was much earlier than he imagined, so he still felt a little surprised by this message that was like a thunderbolt from the sky. "It's an accident, so what! Even if the demons come suddenly, even if Yang Jian and Nezha are not there, even if there are few guards around, even if I am about to reach the end of my life, I will desperately block them on the other side of the mountain. Jiang Ziya was so worried.

After a short hesitation, Jiang Ziya regained his senses, returned to the mansion, organized all the guards, and rushed to the top of the mountain to the north. He must do his best to keep the demons out of the mountain, otherwise, the place of origin will be cataclysmic, and the peace of the past will no longer exist.

When Jiang Ziya led the guards to the top of the mountain, a large number of demons were bustling towards him. Two teams, two different races, came to this unexpected summit for their own purposes. Viewed from above, the two groups charged at a rapid pace, and finally fused together. The sound of fighting and the sound of weapons clashing together were wrapped in one place, rippling like waves across the entire mountaintop.

The perched birds in the lush forests on the top of the mountain, the hedgehogs cowering behind the stones, the rats stealing wild fruits, and the wild boars arching their noses into the soft soil outside the cave, had long been disturbed by this unexpected sound, and carefully hidden.

At this time, although Jiang Ziya was old and his mana had faded, he couldn't care about these trivialities. I saw that he was wrapped in the heart of the chaotic group, and kept waving his staff to the demon clan in front of him. The demons were either slowed down by the dazzling halo or thrown into the air by the bursting "wave of annihilation". Every time Jiang Ziya attacked, he used all his strength, and the qi of the dantian gradually weakened. The demon clan knew that the human race headed by it was this white-haired old man in plain clothes, and he saw the opportunity and coincidentally approached and contracted in the direction of Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya suddenly discovered the intention of the demon clan, took a deep breath, and swept the staff around with force, his deadliest killer weapon "Judgment", draped in a light wave several times more dazzling than the morning sun, and struck at the surrounding like lightning. The demons who wanted to tighten the circle and want to catch Jiang Ziya in the urn were all cut off by the waist, and the gurgling and sticky green blood suddenly burst out to the surroundings.

After casting this spell of sin breaking, Jiang Ziya bent down slightly, panting heavily, to make up for the void after the huge consumption of the dantian.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a feather arrow shot out of nowhere, galloping towards Jiang Ziya's chest, Jiang Ziya didn't have time to dodge between the lightning and flint, and the feather arrow shot heavily into his left shoulder, Jiang Ziya staggered back a few steps. When the surrounding guards saw this, they all trembled and hurriedly gathered to Jiang Ziya's side.

The escort army was hit by this, and the situation of the attack was gradually suppressed by the demons. While resisting, the crowd surrounded the injured Jiang Ziya in the middle. Jiang Ziya saw that something was wrong, so he ordered the team to quickly retreat and assemble in the direction of the Yuan Qi Run.

The demons chased after them, their roars piercing the sky. However, when the demons chased to the Yuan Qi Cannon position, they realized their recklessness. Countless purple light waves, like showers falling from the sky, can penetrate boulders, let alone the flesh of demons. In just an instant, more than half of the demons were knocked to the ground almost instantly, and the demons behind them fled in horror when they saw this.

The use of the Yuan Qi Cannon has also brought about a consequence, that is, the location of the wreckage of the ark has also been exposed. Jiang Ziya had no choice but to retreat here.

Upon returning to the mansion, the medic pulled the arrow from his right shoulder. However, to the surprise of the military doctor, the skin around Jiang Ziya's wound gradually turned black and gradually spread to the surroundings. It turned out that the arrow in Jiang Ziya's place was a poisonous arrow, and the people around him couldn't imagine that the demons not only used sharp arrows, but also learned to quench poison.
