The Mysterious Ming Dynasty: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

Chapter 76 Haizhou Uprising

Si Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The familiar treasure ship came into view, with green vines hanging down and a faint glow illuminating the surroundings.

When he looked inward at himself, a faint mark was clearly left on his primordial spirit.

It was a rat's head.

If Si Chen hadn't thoroughly examined himself inside and out several times, he probably wouldn't have discovered this mark.

"What a despicable guy." Si Chen casually crushed it. When did he get infected? He hadn't even noticed.

The stars in the inner scene all appeared dim and lackluster.

Some are even on the verge of breaking down.

With Si Chen's primordial spirit returning to its place, the celestial stars began to flow again, and the Heavenly Official Path where Bei Chen was located, like a rock, suppressed the turbulent currents within the inner realm.

However, the suppression of spiritual energy within the body, which was done in a desperate manner, manifested in the inner vision as an unhealable and irreparable hidden injury.

At the edge of the starry sea, some stars have been permanently shattered.

Si Chen sighed and opened his eyes.

With the Jiazi and Jiachen years fast approaching, "How's the ascension going?"

His expression revealed his deep concern.

Si Chen pondered for a moment, "Today, my primordial spirit went on a journey to the infamous Rakshasa Sea City."

Jiazi opened his eyes wide.

Si Chen raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, saying to himself, "I never expected that after accidentally stumbling upon the moon, the Guanghan Palace would be filled with a bunch of demons and monsters."

"The so-called Rakshasa Mirage is nothing but a facade."

"Even the Dragon Transformation Pool is no longer located on Mount Yiwulü."

Jia Chen listened carefully and immediately understood, "So, that Yiwulü Mountain is a trap? Wu Sangui is clearly up to no good!"

Upon closer examination, Wu Sangui's stance becomes highly questionable.

Among the Guan Ning army, those soldiers and civilians who had become barbaric, those soldiers and civilians who were starving for food, and the besieged city of Ningyuan, were they not also being lured into a trap?

The two guardian deities were filled with surprise and doubt.

Si Chen raised his hand, "No need to doubt. It's not a good thing to lose our composure before the enemy even attacks."

"Regardless of how much truth or falsehood Wu Sangui spoke of, it is true that he sacrificed three million Han people to cast the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"As for the position of the mountain god of Yiwulü Mountain, it has been usurped by an evil god and is heavily guarded. How could I possibly walk into his trap? I should first weaken his power."

"Wu Sangui only seeks power. Why would he easily side with us? If we can capture Juehua Island on this trip, that will be enough."

"Even if these evil gods possess ten parts of strength, they can only use one part. So what is there to fear?"

Si Chen finished speaking.

The two generals breathed a sigh of relief. What they had just heard about the Six Heavenly Demon Kings, the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Eight Heavenly Dragons, the Burning Heaven of South India, and the Universal Salvation Heavenly Consort of the Cangming Sect was truly a headache.

The fact that even the moon is controlled by an evil god is truly terrifying.

Wouldn't that mean being exposed to the enemy's sight every night?

Jiazi felt extremely uncomfortable. "Sir, how do we deal with the Moon? Aren't all our actions being exposed to their gaze?"

Si Chen looked up and drew a beam of moonlight, entwining it around his fingertips. "The aura within this moonlight is pure and flawless. Although I don't know exactly what tricks they used to seize the Guanghan Palace, expecting them to control the world is far from feasible."

"Moreover, we may not be without allies."

The two divine generals perked up. "Haven't all the gods of the mortal realm gone to the highest heavens?"

Si Chen said, word by word, "Have you forgotten the God of Changbai Mountain?"

The god of Changbai Mountain is far more powerful than the god of Yiwulü Mountain.

They are naturally existing deities that have existed since ancient times.

Unlike the incense gods of Yiwulü Mountain who were conferred titles by successive dynasties.

"The Great Horned Rat God once attempted to possess this great god, but could only slink away in defeat, not daring to approach Changbai Mountain. To this day, it can only occupy the Liaodong and Shenyang regions, precisely because of this."

Si Chen stood up. "We're going to pay our respects to the sect, how can we not bring a gift? I need to first destroy the Eight Banners' den of evil and cut off their sea routes."

The two generals knew that as long as their superiors didn't resort to going into dangerous situations alone, they had nothing to fear.

Even if they lose ten or a hundred times, they can still make a comeback.

Si Chen pondered for a moment, "Summon the Holy Warriors, I have important instructions for you."

A moment later, more than a hundred eager paladins gathered again.

"Gentlemen, you must have been waiting for quite some time," Si Chen said.

"We are willing to die for the Great Teacher!" The paladins raised their silver blades of vengeance, and a silent restlessness filled the paladins.

"I know you're anxious. But passion alone won't solve anything." Si Chen said, "We are all Liao people. Over the years, the court and the Jurchens have come and gone, and in the end, they came up with this so-called Liao people guarding Liao. Now, the Liao people are almost extinct."

"The Jurchens wanted to exterminate the Han people."

The paladins' eyes dimmed.

All their relatives, friends, sisters, and brothers died.

"Death is easy, it ends everything, but even the longest days have an end, but this hatred will last forever. I want you to live, to live in agony, until the Jurchens are wiped out, only then will our great revenge be fulfilled!" Si Chen: "You must be able to kill, but you must also be able to save lives."

"It's time to rescue them."

To save the people from suffering.

This is the greater good.

Si Chen worried that these holy warriors were determined to die and would never choose to live a life of dishonor. If that happened, who would he turn to for justice?

"Great Teacher, so wise and righteous!" Suddenly, one of the Holy Warriors raised his head: "In Haizhou soon, a rebellion will break out."

Si Chen suddenly looked over.

Many paladins quickly made way for them.

A stranger mingled among them.

"A great and virtuous teacher."

"Please lend me a hand."

She possessed a familiar aura of vengeful paladins emanating from the stranger, and she almost perfectly merged into the paladin.

Si Chen then realized something was wrong.

They hadn't even noticed that a stranger had entered the ship, yet they didn't know when he had infiltrated it.

"Who are you? And why do you know about the affairs of Haizhou?" Si Chen asked.

Under the oppressive rule of the Eight Banners, every act of resistance could lead to certain death.

How could you be so reckless?

"Me? Just a vengeful ghost who crawled out of a pile of corpses. I believe in the character of the Great Teacher of Goodness." The newcomer removed his mask.

It was a face that was completely disfigured.

It looked as if his entire face had been peeled off.

Having endured such torture, yet still alive, no wonder he was able to embark on the path of a paladin.

Everyone felt a pang of pity and avoided looking at each other.

"I apologize if this appearance has frightened you all." The paladin calmly put on his mask. "Great Teacher, may I now grant your request?"

Si Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I agree. But you have to tell us how you infiltrated this treasure ship."

Was the Dinghai's protection really that bad?

Everyone looked ashamed.

This is their responsibility.
