Chapter Thirty-Four: A Roar That Shatters Mountains and Rivers

  Chen Jiu felt this power, and after a while, he opened his eyes: "What a strange kind of power, extremely masculine and strong, yet it contains greatness, but also only I am supreme, strange, strange".

  No need to overthink this force, anyway I'm about to leave here soon, and this force is wonderfully unrelated to me.

  The moon fell and the sun rose. The quiet morning of the Drunken Flower House was shattered by a shrill scream, followed by the sight of a stunning woman running out, giving many of the young servants at the Drunken Flower House an eyeful.

  However, soon after, a shocking yet delightful piece of news came from the Drunken Blossom Pavilion, causing the citizens to raise their hands in praise.

  The county magistrate is dead, died in **, died on a woman's belly, this is absolutely the biggest scandal of the imperial court.

  The Wan Hua Lou has run into trouble, being unreasonably shut down by a group of government soldiers. What a joke! The county magistrate even died here, do you still want to continue operating?

  In the depths of the mountain, Chen Jiu felt his body relax: "It's done."

  Suddenly a hoarse voice sounded behind Chen Jiu: "What's going on?"

  The voice was too sudden, Chen Ji's hair stood on end, and he suddenly turned around, exclaiming: "Hei Shan Lao Yao, how are you here?"

  Hei Shan Lao Yao was still a mass of cloud and mist, his figure indistinct: "Why is this seat here? Hehe, of course it's for you. You little brat has heavily injured me twice. If not for this seat's spiritual consciousness being indestructible for ten thousand kalpas, I would have truly fallen at your hands."

  The old demon of Heishan is even more powerful than before, so powerful that it's hard to see through, like a deep lake.

  "Montenegro, if it weren't for your underlings wanting to harm my friends, why would I provoke you? This is a place of great importance to humans, with powerful guardians and the imperial army's expeditionary force not far away. If you want to die, then go ahead and make a move."

  "Haha, the mighty army of tax collectors, I'm afraid of the mighty army of tax collectors, what can they do to me?"

  "Draw a prison on the ground."

  He who strikes first gets the advantage, he who strikes later suffers the consequences, this is Chen Jiu's guiding principle.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao was instantly trapped inside the dungeon, feeling the air wall in front of him. Hei Shan Lao Yao clicked his tongue: "Interesting, this divine ability is interesting".

  He glanced at Chen Jiu and Hei Shan Lao Yao smiled: "What a pity, your kid's magic is too low, can't trap me at all".

  Chen Jiu knew that he was being despised by Hei Shan Lao Yao, but this contempt he couldn't say anything about, after all, it was a fact.

  "You're just relying on the fact that you've been cultivating for a few more years than me to be so arrogant, give me a thousand years and I'll break through this world!" Chen Jiuxiao gritted his teeth in hatred.

  "Haha, this is really childish, you should know that no one will give you time, living a long life is originally capital."

  As for Hei Shan Lao Yao's thick skin, Chen Jiu had a deep understanding of it. However, he immediately exclaimed in shock: "How did you manage to come out?"

  At some point, Hei Shan Lao Yao was standing opposite Chen Jiu, not far away.

  "How could you think that your painting of a prison can trap me? Although the divine method is indeed ingenious, but you have cultivated for too short a time and it's fundamentally impossible to trap me."

  "Don't get stuck on me, I won't wait for death" Chen Jiu took the lead, and the strongest Wan Lei symbol was instantly drawn.

  However, the Black Mountain Old Monster was a bit too strong at this moment. A wild and overbearing black aura burst forth from his body, instantly dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.

  Chen Jiuxing was stunned: "This is too strong, how can we fight?"

  "Hahaha, kid, you know the gap between us now?" The old demon of Heishan laughed loudly.

  "How dare you be so reckless and lawless!"

  A loud shout echoed through the city, a sound that ordinary people would find merely somewhat louder than usual, but to Hei Shan Lao Yao's ears it was no less than thunder.

  A tyrannical and powerful force suddenly gathered in the sky, instantly clearing all evil spirits within a hundred miles. Even the black aura protecting Hei Shan Lao Yao was dispersed by this force, revealing a transparent shadow.

  "Isn't this the legendary great Confucian?" Chen Jiu muttered to himself.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao was just a wisp of a split body, how could he resist the angry roar of Da Ru, and with one encounter, he was heavily injured. If not for his special Yuan Shen, he would have become ashes long ago.

  "Damn it, you big Confucian scholar! How dare you come and ruin my good deed? I'm not done with you!" The old demon of Black Mountain shielded his body and bellowed at the sky.

  Chen Jiu's eyes gleamed with delight: "Black Mountain Old Monster, you were so arrogant and domineering, but now look at you, Grandpa has taken care of you."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu drew a circle against Hei Shan Lao Yao: "Drawing land as prison".

  Hei Shan Lao Yao was instantly trapped and glared at Chen Jiu with a difficult expression, shouting: "Despicable scoundrel, taking advantage of someone's misfortune".

  Chen Jiuhaha laughed: "Just now you said that no one would give me time, now I'm telling you, no one will give you time to recover, hahaha, don't you feel like it's not pleasant to be retaliated against? This is what they call retribution in this life."

  Chen Jiuxiao was in a place where he provoked the old demon of Heishan, if not for the fact that the old demon of Heishan had no physical body, he would have been made to spit blood by Chen Jiuxiao.

  Not giving the Black Mountain Old Monster time to react, Chen Jiu directly raised his hand towards the sky: "Ten Thousand Thunder Devouring Body, hahaha, you can properly taste it now".

  Hei Shan Lao Yao heard this and suddenly became enraged, and somehow managed to break through Chen Jiu's confinement once again, disappearing into the distance.

  Chen Jiu looked in the direction where Hei Shan Lao Yao disappeared, seemingly lost in thought. He put away his magic and left the place.

  In the county town, an old man with white hair and beard was reading under the lamp at night. At this time, he looked out of the city and shook his head: "Evil spirits are rampant, it seems that the world is in chaos again."

  "This is the power of a great Confucian scholar? One roar shattered mountains and rivers, not only severely injuring the old black mountain demon, but also dispersing my magical powers in an instant. That was a force of heavenly power, the majestic righteous energy between heaven and earth. Fortunately, I didn't resist that power at the time. When the great Confucian scholar let out that roar, he had already combined his understanding of the Tao with heaven and earth, thereby achieving the laws of nature. In that instant, if one were to resist, it would be resisting heaven and earth itself. But how can a person possibly resist heaven and earth?"

  Chen Jiu vaguely understood: "That Black Mountain old demon must be struggling between the instinct of a strong person and the pressure from heaven and earth, so he was tragic."

  "This old guy has been severely injured, and I'm guessing he'll be out of commission for a while. I need to find a place with a powerful scholar to seek refuge, or else this old demon will be like a lingering ghost, really giving me a headache. Who would have thought that such a remote corner could produce the likes of Hei Shan Lao Yao, an extraordinary evil spirit? My luck is really bad, even drinking water gets stuck in my teeth." Chen Ji muttered to himself, thinking about the power of the scholar and complaining about his own bad luck.

  "Shall we go visit that great scholar tomorrow?" asked Chen Jiu.

  Of course, if I can get the favor of a great Confucian scholar, it would be best to travel together. However, I'm afraid that great Confucian scholar is too proud and looks down on me.

  Stroking his chin, Chen Jiu muttered to himself: "This hesitation doesn't suit my style. I'll go pay my respects first and see what happens next. Whether he sees me or not is his business, but whether I go or not is mine."

  After making up his mind, Chen Jiu also lost his sleep: "This gift is not easy to choose, too expensive is not good, too vulgar is not good either, and I don't know what kind of temperament that great scholar has".

  After some thought, Chen Jiu still couldn't come up with a good idea. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: "I've got it! Why not just make an inkstone?"

  An ordinary inkstone won't do, Chen Jiu used his own magic to grind the ink jade, then added some talismans for gathering yuan and nourishing qi, before personally grinding and consecrating it.

  Looking at the inkstone in his hand, Chen Jiu's eyes sparkled: "Although it can be said to be a bit clever, this is after all one's own heart and mind."

  After finishing the inkstone, Chen Jiu put it aside: "Might as well meditate, anyway I won't be able to sleep".

  Chen Jiuxing was born in Chaoyang, opened his eyes, then found a river to wash his body, put on new clothes looted from the bandit's den, tied his long hair with a straw behind him: "Let's go".

  The county town was still the same, as if no one knew that a great Confucian had passed by this place. Chen Jiuyi shook his head: "Ordinary people are just ordinary people, they don't recognize Mount Tai even when they see it, and thus miss their chance."
