683: C683 Survival from Death

C683 Survival from Death

The Spring Festival of the New Year is different from every year since the establishment of the Great Wei.0

The streets of the capital still reeked of blood. There were still many places that had been burnt to ashes by the flames. The streets were filled with people, but everyone seemed to be in a sorry state.

To the future generations, this was the beginning of the Great Wei's journey to the strongest country in the continent, but it was also the most painful year in the history of the Great Wei, the capital of Wei Kingdom.

Just when there was only one day left before the New Year, the capital of the Great Wei was invaded by spectral cultivators. The leader of the spectral cultivators led dozens of Fifth Stage experts to attack the prison in the capital, and even broke through the Imperial Prison. He also released a powerful prisoner from the Imperial Prison.

As the protector of Great Wei, who had protected it for a hundred years in the darkest place, Lee Zong fought against nearly a hundred Fifth Stage prisoners that night. Moreover, any one of these prisoners had committed a heinous crime in the history of the Great Wei. It was only when the old ancestor of Yuh Family took out the Great Wei Galaxy Diagram, which had been guarded by the Yuh Family for generations, and trapped all the prisoners in Imperial Prison. Lee Zong had been fighting these prisoners for an hour and a half.

At the entrance of the Lan Mansion in the Lan family, in the capital, servants of the Lan family were cleaning the piles of corpses at the entrance. In the courtyard of the Lan family, there were hundreds of large and small medicine bottles placed beside Lan Fenghuang. They were treating the injuries of the injured soldiers last night. On top of everyone's heads, someone pulled up a piece of tarpaulin. It blocked the drizzle in the sky. From time to time, cultivators from the Lan family would remove the sediment on the tarpaulin to ensure that the tarpaulin would not break due to the excessive sediment.

In the courtyard, there were people who were distributing burrows and waiting for rations. Although this kind of rough food was hard to swallow during normal days, but after a night of killing, they could pick up a hot bun. It was already extremely fortunate for them to be able to pick up some pickled vegetables.

However, in the eyes of the soldiers, this woman who was worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the world had a trace of undetectable worry between her brows.

"Sister Phoenix, do you have something on your mind?"

A soldier who looked young ran to Lan Fenghuang's side and asked curiously. Lan Fenghuang's hand, which was preparing the medicine, trembled slightly and a smile appeared on her face. She said to the soldier, "It's fine, I'm fine!"

"Really?"

The soldier looked at Lan Fenghuang in disbelief, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Lan Fenghuang did not answer the soldier's question. She sighed and looked at the sky. Just last night, the two of them had always seemed like obedient and sensible cousins to her. It was as if they had changed into a different person, even after knowing that Wai Yu was a criminal who colluded with ghost cultivators. She even made the old ancestor Lan Tianxuan spit out blood and faint from anger.

After the ghost cultivators in the city were expelled, Lan Tao and Bluesea were also taken away by the people of Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. The law enforcement organization with the greatest power and authority in the Great Wei, even if they were killed on the spot. Lan Fenghuang could not say anything. Hence, Lan Fenghuang's heart was filled with worry for the safety of her two cousins. Lan Tao and Bluesea were the two most outstanding young men of Lan family's generation. Although Lan Fenghuang was more outstanding than them, according to the teachings of the Lan family's ancestors, she was still a girl. There was no way for her to become a pillar of support.

Lan Tianxuan was furious, but to the Lan family who was famous for treating illnesses, it wasn't a troublesome matter. However, after experiencing such a catastrophe in the capital, it was about to be rebuilt. If the family lost their main force at this time, the Lan family would be in danger. Lan Fenghuang secretly gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

On the street in front of the Purple Gold Palace.

This was the area with the least impact from the ghost cultivators in the entire capital. Because of this, the losses suffered in this area were the least. The homeless residents in the city had also gathered in this area. The main reason they had gathered in this area was because of the joint declaration of the Twelve Families. There would be a distribution point set up in this area, and the homeless civilians in this disaster would be able to come here to receive food. The 12 families had also invested in renting many houses in this area, which was also a temporary place for the civilians to live.

Apart from that, the twelve families also announced another matter. As the pillar of the capital, they would invest together with the National Treasury. They would recruit civilians from the city to rebuild the capital. After they built the new house, they would use the labor they paid for building the house as collateral for the funds needed to purchase the house from the Twelve Families.

Once this news spread, the entire capital was in an uproar. Anyone who heard of this news would give a thumbs up to the person who proposed this plan. The Great Wei had encountered many calamities in hundreds of years, but this was the first time someone had proposed such a perfect solution. However, this person who was praised by thousands of citizens in the capital was the hero behind the scenes. At this moment, he was sitting on a cloth stall on Zhengyang Street.

A servant from one of the twelve families, who was temporarily dragged over to be a judge for the food delivery, carried a stack of pickled vegetables and buns to the table. He curiously looked at the two people in front of him who looked very strange.

One of them looked like a young man in his mid-twenties, while the other was a little younger. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be around fifteen years old. Of course, their age was not strange. However, what was strange was that the two of them seemed to be wearing clothes. They didn't look like poor families.

The servant who distributed the food frowned slightly and thought to himself, Could it be that this is a wealthy family that was specially taken care of by spectral cultivators the night before yesterday?"

As for why he was not worried that someone would come here to freeload on food and drink, the food was taken out by the twelve families and the national treasury. But because there were too many people who needed relief, the only things that could be distributed were some plain porridge and coarse grain buns. Even people with a slightly better family background wouldn't be willing to use this kind of food to fill their stomachs.

The older man picked up a bun and used a spoon to place some pickled vegetables into the bun. He handed it to the little boy sitting opposite him, who had red lips and white teeth. The little boy hesitated for a moment, but he still took the bun from the man's hand. He stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth.

"What is this? Isn't it too disgusting?"

After the first bite, the little boy frowned. He couldn't help but say to the man sitting opposite him. Along with the melancholy on his little face, the servant was even more certain of what he was thinking. But this wasn't something he should care about, even though he felt some disdain in his heart. However, the servant only shook his head and turned around to continue his work.
