The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 137 All, all dead...

It's not difficult to find them.

The tunnel dug by Dishan Patriarch is horizontal and vertical, and very spacious. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a broad road.

Zhou Bai walked forward for more than 100 miles, when a glimmer of light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai immediately got out of the tunnel.

However, as soon as Zhou Bai came out of the cave, he felt something was wrong.

He instinctively spat out the snake letter twice, and a strong smell of blood instantly flooded into his mind.

This place is an extremely hidden mountain col, surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is indeed a good place to hide.

Zhou Bai followed the smell of blood and walked towards the cave ahead. The closer he got to the cave, the more uneasy he felt.

Although he had sensed that there were dead people in the cave, for the first time he wished that his senses were not so sensitive.

When he walked into the cave, the scene inside still made him take a deep breath.

I saw hundreds of corpses lying scattered in the cave.

Judging from their clothes, they should all be disciples of Dishan.

When Patriarch Dishan rushed out with Yang Chang, there were not so many disciples around him. It seemed that this was the retreat he had thought of early on, and he had arranged many Dishan disciples here as cover.

It has to be said that Patriarch Dishan really understood the word coward to his core, and Li Ji made a very wise choice by asking him to protect Yang Chang.

But at this moment, the body of Dishan Patriarch is also in the cave.

He lay quietly behind the crowd. There was no external injury on his body, but his internal organs had been smashed to pieces.

Judging from the surrounding situation, he should have been killed in one move before he even had time to resist.

With Patriarch Dishan's cultivation, what kind of terrifying monk would be the person who could kill him with one strike?

And according to Zhou Bai's understanding of the Dishan Patriarch, he must have ordered his disciples to set up earthen shields for defense as soon as he arrived here.

Even Li Ji couldn't easily break through this kind of defense.

But they are still dead!
Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel trembling with fear, and immediately turned around and looked around. Only when he was sure that there was no one alive in the cave did he gradually relax.

He continued walking into the cave and finally saw a headless body in the deepest part of the cave.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, this person should be Yang Chang.

Zhou Bai lifted up his cuff and took a look. The fracture on his left arm was so glaring.

Yang Chang, dead?
Zhou Bai couldn't believe it.

If Yang Chang died, how could Zhang Jiandao and the others be fine?
Also, besides Jiang Zhi, who else wants to kill Yang Chang?

Zhou Bai vaguely felt that there was a huge network behind this matter.

He collected Yang Chang's body and quickly returned to Taichang City along the tunnel.

Instead of making the body public, he placed him in the palace.

He only informed Zhang Jiandao and Qianzhuang about this matter.

At this time, they were the only two people in the entire Sui Dynasty who could be trusted.

Both of them were shocked when they saw Yang Chang's body.

After a long while, Qianzhuang murmured: "What, what's going on?"

Zhang Jiandao also had a gloomy look on his face, looking at Yang Chang's body without saying a word.

The situation at this time was beyond what he could accept.

They finally found a place to stay, but the person who needed their protection died like this.

This is not good news for Zhang Jiandao.

Zhou Bai was also confused.But at this time, he didn't know what to do.

He was just a wild monster who could fight well, but he was helpless when it came to the death of the emperor.

He just felt that the matter could not be made public for the time being, so he called Zhang Jiandao to discuss it with the bank alone.

But he forgot that one of these two people was a forest hero and the other was a gravedigger. How could they know anything about court matters?

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai suddenly realized that he still had someone he could turn to.

So he asked Zhang Jiandao and Qianzhuang to guard Yang Chang's body, while he left the palace and rushed to Jutuguan.

At this time, the person who is trustworthy and knows the most about the affairs of the court is undoubtedly Huang Wen.

However, as the new feudal official, Huang Wen still didn't know what happened in Taichang City.

He got up in the morning and cleaned up as usual, then went to the lobby to offer incense to the Snake Fairy. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he saw Zhou Bai entrenched in the main hall, with a huge head just above the door looking down at him.

This scene almost scared Huang Wen to death, but he felt relieved when he saw it was Zhou Bai.

He walked into the main hall, closed the door and said, "Master Snake Immortal, why are you here? I heard that you went to Taichang City, didn't you?"

Zhou Bai nodded slowly and then handed him the letter he had written.

"Oh? What is this?"

Huang Wen doubtfully took the letter into his hand and read it carefully. However, when he saw that Yang Chang was dead and his body was lying in the palace, he was shocked.

He read it several times, and after making sure it was correct, he looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Master Snake Immortal, is this true..."

Although the letter was very clear, Huang Wen still couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until Zhou Bai nodded again that Huang Wen collapsed on the chair.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, put the letter in his arms and said: "Master Snake Immortal, you did the right thing. At this time, the Sui Dynasty has just decided that the death of the monarch is a major event. If this matter is not handled properly, the Sui Dynasty will have great consequences." There may be chaos again, we must think of countermeasures, think of countermeasures..."

As he spoke, Huang Wen lowered his head, frowning and pondering how to deal with this matter.

He was in the territory of the former Great Zhou Dynasty, and after his governance, the people here had begun to accept their identity as subjects of the Great Sui Dynasty.

But if the news comes out at this time that the Sui emperor is dead and has no successor, there will definitely be a turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty.

There is little doubt about that.

If Yang Chang had a son, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

The difficulty is that Yang Chang is a king who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the important affairs of his family and country.

Moreover, the Sui Dynasty continued to fight for many years, so the civil servants did not have the opportunity to advise Yang Chang on concubines and concubines.

In addition, Yang Chang was in his prime, so they thought the future would be long, but they didn't expect...

This sudden trouble also gave Huang Wen a huge headache.

Logically speaking, as a border official, he should be guarding the border at this time.

But now Taichang City obviously needs him more.

After much hesitation, Huang Wen gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Bai: "Master Snake Fairy, please give me three days. I will follow you back to Taichang in three days!"

He needs to hand over the affairs here to trustworthy people to take over, otherwise the situation in Taichang will be in chaos if it is not settled in Dazhou.

Zhou Bai also understood his difficulty, so he nodded and agreed.

But he can't stay here for these three days. He has to go back to Taichang City.

At this time, he could clearly feel that Sui's luck was gradually decreasing.

If this continues, the Sui Dynasty, which has just been peaceful for a few years, may be in chaos again!
