Chapter 3523: Undercurrent surge (1)

Translator: 549690339

Tang Zhen was walking unhurriedly in the chaotic city.

If one did not look at the bloody sacrifice, this city was actually not bad. The environment was beautiful and clean, and the night scene was more like heaven falling into the human world.

However, the current city was filled with fear and sorrow. It was like a suppressed volcano that could erupt at any moment.

It was like a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any time, crushing the city and its residents into pieces.

Tang Zhen would sometimes wonder how long had it been since the scene of laughter in the city had disappeared?

However, he realized that his memory had become blurry and he could not remember any details about his past. He only knew that it was about a few hundred days ago.

The omnipresent rule force had already affected Tang Zhen, causing him to forget the things that had happened “long ago.”

This also made him more vigilant, and he began to make the best use of his time.

In the 28 cells, Tang Zhen received five cultivators ‘replies. The number was neither more nor less.

They were willing to cooperate with Tang Zhen and use various means to break free from the restraints of the fragment world.

Just like how cultivators broke through the void, they were able to escape from this terrifying world and the cycle of death that made people collapse.

Before this, they had all been working hard in secret, just that no one knew about it.

Tang Zhen was the same. He had been observing all this while, but he was actually unable to discover this group of hidden fellows.

This was definitely not all. There must be other cultivators hiding in the dark, silently waiting for the opportunity to escape.

After Tang Zhen took the initiative to contact them, they would also pay close attention to it. After which, they would take action at the appropriate time.

These cultivators were the perfect example of ‘I won’t let go until I see the rabbit’.

They couldn’t be blamed for this. After all, the environment was too dangerous, and they had no other choice.

If they missed this opportunity or took a wrong step, it could lead to eternal damnation.

In just a short period of time, Tang Zhen’s hard work bore fruit.

When he counted the prisoners that were sacrificed once again, Tang Zhen discovered that there was a lack of personnel in these teams.

Occasionally, he could see some stiff and relaxed figures mixed in with the crowd on the roadside.

Occasionally, he would meet Tang Zhen’s gaze and would also forcefully act calm, pretending to be a passerby.

However, Tang Zhen was able to see with a single glance that the other party was only wearing a layer of outer skin. Regardless of whether it was his technique or actions, they were all slightly unfamiliar.

However, it didn’t matter. When they met again, the other party’s behavior would be more natural.

With a fake identity, it would be much easier for cultivators to do certain things.

Tang Zhen still had things to do and was not suitable to come into contact with these cultivators. They only needed to be busy with their own things.

When the time was right, they could meet up and make a bigger plan.

When that time came, they would definitely fight to the death.

Tang Zhen wanted to see what kind of commotion would be created when so many cultivators acted together.

Another plan was to use these prisoners to test the waters, thus exposing the possible hidden dangers.

The thing that Tang Zhen was most afraid of was to suddenly suffer a fatal blow when he was about to take action.

What he was afraid of was that the heavens had eyes. What he thought was a secret had actually been exposed long ago.

The enemy was hiding in the dark and watching Tang Zhen’s every move. However, they were not in a hurry to attack.

Instead, he would wait for Tang Zhen to use all his strength and prepare to take action before he would destroy his confidence.

After suffering such a heavy blow, Tang Zhen would most likely be unable to recover and completely lose the confidence to escape.

And then he would be with the others. Like a prisoner, he was sent to the altar again and again like a walking corpse.

At the last moment, it was completely digested and completely fell from the world.

When he saw others working hard, he didn’t have any hope and would even give them a sarcastic blow.

The situation they were worried about was not impossible, and there was even a high chance that it would happen. Otherwise, how could these cultivators with steel-like minds be so dejected?

If it was just an ordinary failure, it would not have caused such a situation.

Now that these cultivators were scouting the path, Tang Zhen could hide behind them and observe more calmly to see if there were any invisible monitors.

Now that the opportunity had come, there would definitely be cultivators who were eager to escape from this cage.

Perhaps it wouldn’t take long for the other party to take action, and everything would be clear by then.

After achieving his expected goal, Tang Zhen became even more low-key when he did things. He carefully went into hiding and didn’t easily contact other cultivators.

Firstly, he was afraid that he would be targeted, and secondly, he didn’t want his plan to be affected because of someone else’s mistake.

The cycle continued, but the city became more and more chaotic, and all kinds of things kept happening.

Poison, disease, and many residents died in their homes for no reason.

The city was in a mess, and all kinds of unexpected situations happened one after another, as if the end of the world had come.

The city’s residents were terrified, thinking that their actions had offended their God. They rushed to the altar square to pray and atone for their sins.

Perhaps this was the only way to make them feel at ease.

The cultivators and soldiers in the city were all angry and anxious, but they were like headless flies.

They were exhausted from maintaining the city’s security, trying to find the person behind the scenes who had caused the change and then give him a harsh punishment.

Pulling out his tendons and removing his bones were considered light, and crushing his bones and scattering his ashes was just right. In short, he did not hesitate to use the most vicious means to deal with the mastermind who had caused all this.

However, who would have known that the changes today were actually the result of the accumulation of time.

In fact, they had to experience similar things every day, but it only became more and more serious.

It would be impossible for them to find the mastermind.

Not to mention the fact that the cultivators moved stealthily and would not leave any traces behind, even if the residents found out that something was wrong, they would completely forget about it at the beginning of the new reincarnation.

Fortunately, these residents were not like cultivators who could retain their past memories. Otherwise, they would have completely collapsed and become lunatics.

The sacrificial ceremony continued. This was something that happened every day, and it could be said that it would not be delayed even by the wind and rain.

However, the expressions of the residents on the roadside had become more and more frightened and depressed. They were no longer as excited as before.

The sudden outbreak of the disaster made them begin to have doubts about the God they believed in.

However, offering sacrifices to the great God was something that the residents of the city had to do, and no one could shirk from it.

Even if they didn’t want to, they had to participate.

The difference was that the joy of the past had turned into the helplessness of the present, along with unspeakable doubt and grief.

If the gods really existed and could accept their every sacrifice, why couldn’t they drive away the disaster?

Things like faith, once questioned, would no longer be so pure.

All kinds of messy thoughts emerged from the hearts of these residents.

However, at this time, someone wanted the world to be in chaos and started to publicize something.

The other party said that the disasters happened because there were not enough sacrifices, which triggered the Anger of the Gods.

In order to solve this problem, they had to offer more sacrifices so that the blood spurting from the tower could not stop.

Furthermore, there were also requirements for the offerings. They had to be pious enough to the God, and the more pious they were, the better the effects.

As long as he could do this, all the disasters would automatically disappear.

Those who took the initiative to offer sacrifices would receive greater benefits. They could enter the God’s kingdom and become the God’s servant.

Not only could they serve the gods, but they could also live forever and enjoy all kinds of things that they had dreamed of.

It was unknown where the rumors had come from, but many residents believed that the sudden disaster was related to the offerings.

They also began to spread the news and even asked the city Lord to arrange for some prisoners to sacrifice themselves to the gods.

If no one was willing, they would choose randomly. After all, this was a glorious thing and would also resolve the disaster of the city.

With deliberate instigation, after a dozen or so reincarnations, there were already residents who took the initiative to offer sacrifices.
