Chapter 495: Chapter 433 Demon Chief Curtain Call + Chapter 434 Divine Intention Transmission Technique, Courage of Green Lady_3

"Recently, I heard that even in the County City, there were people with ’Red-Eye Disease’."

"As a result, large numbers of people are dragging their families, trying to cross the river to come to Liyou."

"But they are petrified by water demons that devour humans, unable to cross the river at all."

"Now, on the opposite bank of the river, the people are in a state of panic, with numerous bloody incidents occurring every day, too dreadful to witness."

"............"

"Zhou Ping’an originally thought,"

"With a population of a million and a territory of his own, which had been cleansed by the Red Lotus Sect, it was like a blank white sheet, perfect for painting..."

"There were people and there was land."

"There was no external threat, abundant security."

"He could, during these chaotic times, hold onto this pastoral land, quietly farm and develop, nurture soldiers and prestige."

"Until one day, when the opportunity arose, he could immediately march west or head north."

"The advantage of this approach was that he decidedly wouldn’t become a target, not attracting too strong an enemy."

"But of course, there were disadvantages."

"That was, time dragged on too long."

"The speed of gathering momentum and fortune, a bit slow."

"It would indirectly affect him and the speed of cultivation of his generals."

"A few days ago, after taking over three counties and winning the people’s allegiance, Zhou Ping’an and his men seemed to have added a ’cultivation boost BUFF’."

"The speed of cultivation was indeed shockingly fast..."

"As long as there were sufficient resources, cultivation was like having no bottlenecks at all, advancing tremendously."

"It wasn’t just one or two individuals, but the core group as a whole, a comprehensive enhancement, the benefits were indeed too significant."

"But these benefits also had a limit."

"Upon reaching the level of External Qi, especially near the completion of External Qi, Zhou Ping’an felt his speed of cultivation begin to slow down."

"Clearly not encountering any bottleneck, but the conversion of Gang Qi was like having inert gas added, every bit of nutrient absorption, every thread of True Qi conversion, seemed to slow down more than tenfold."

"It was precisely because of this reason that he frenziedly used up Wish Power Threads, turning to cultivate various powerful secret techniques."

"This also could enhance combat power, secure this foundation, and earn some development time for himself."

"However, looking at the situation now, it seemed the approach of farming and nurturing prestige wasn’t working."

"You want to slow down, others want to speed up."

"Everyone is racing, if you don’t race, you will fall behind, and falling behind means getting hit."

"Zhou Ping’an understood this principle."

"Therefore, the moment he heard the news about the ’Blood Disaster,’ he knew he could no longer afford to develop at a leisurely pace."

"Without a doubt, this ’Blood Disaster’ was a ploy by the Guangyun Prefect Cui Guangling, although his exact purpose was unknown."

"Initial guesses were just two points."

"One was to train troops."

"The other was to strengthen oneself."

"Enhance combat power to gain greater assurance?"

"With this in mind, what he wanted to do was quite understandable."

"Green Lady was clearly also aware of the seriousness of this matter, her analysis report was more than ten pages long, and had already been presented on Zhou Ping’an’s desk."

"Previously, there had been no formal actions only because the Old Crocodile in the Li River restrained, making the Three Counties of Liyou immobile. Now that the old demon was subdued, they could free up their hands."

"Is it to launch troops to attack the city, forcing a decisive battle?"

"Green Lady unconsciously clenched her fists."

"Even though she came from the Red Lotus Sect and was accustomed to the tragedies of the mortal world, some practices on the opposite shore were especially displeasing to her."

"If left unchecked, those people would sooner or later become ’tools’ for the other side’s cultivation enhancement or even ’Blood Food’. If such a day really came, even if her side took down Guangyun County, it would still become a Ghost Realm."

"What would be the point then?"

"In these chaotic times, people were even more important than land."

"Therefore, Zhou Ping’an had to launch a rescue operation, not just for reputation, but for the hearts of the people."

"Even if they weren’t quite ready, they had to move."

"’Let’s not attack comprehensively for now, focus on rescue and relocation.’"

"After careful consideration, Zhou Ping’an realized he still wasn’t very confident in truly dealing with County Magistrate Cui, especially in Guangyun City, within the Governor’s Mansion where Cui Guangling seemed capable of activating some powerful formation."

"The formidable blood-colored figure he had sensed that day exerted great pressure, with blood light spreading in all directions, the air filled with a blood mist, completely enveloping the entire mansion."

"He couldn’t even get close."

"Of course, now with this miraculous movement technique, perhaps he might have more means, but dealing with Cui Guangling like he dealt with the Old Crocodile probably wouldn’t work."

"The Old Crocodile was severely injured and lost its caution."

"Strictly speaking, it only had seventy to eighty percent of its combat power at its peak."

"After being taken by surprise from his ambush, being struck twice, it was completely killed. Moreover, it still had enough strength to erupt in an extremely ferocious offensive halfway through."

"After transforming into the Sea Dragon form, even he dared not really contend head-on."

"This showed that a warrior of the True Martial Realm was extremely resilient and had many techniques."

"Without full confidence, there was no need to act rashly."

"Wait until the Starry Bone was completely refined, his strength would experience a significant growth phase."

"By then, he could measure up against him."

"Looking at the bones inside his body, one hundred and eighty-six bones sparkled with a jade light, with faint blue starlight gleaming like mist, urgency surged again in Zhou Ping’an’s heart."

"If fast, it would take only twenty days, and at most, no more than a month to refine the spine and skull, truly achieving the Primordial Star Body, then radiating throughout the entire body, evolving muscles and blood vessels, certainly resulting in a drastic change in his physique."

"Thinking of the grandeur of Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi seen during the Demon Subduing Trial, Zhou Ping’an also had some plans in mind."
