Chapter 108: Secluded Cultivation for 2 Years
On the system map, the location of the second small red dot is shown as Pingyuan County, situated to the west of Yu Yang Town, within the jurisdiction of the Heaven-Facing Sect.
Pingyuan County is already a frontier town in the western part of Lushan County, bordering Yunbei County, a city under the Heaven-Facing Sect’s protection. Yet, it still has hidden affairs that the Cyan Mountain Sect can accomplish?
The Heaven-Facing Sect is a top-tier sect within the Chu Kingdom, even the Shenxiao Palace fears it by three parts.
With curiosity, Lu Ping spent three days reaching Pingyuan County.
Upon entering the territory of Pingyuan County, Lu Ping discovered that hundreds of acres of farmland in the county were being enveloped by a large ’black cloud’.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a black cloud; instead, it was millions of locusts, densely packed, covering the sky, forming a massive black cloud shape.
Where this swarm of locusts passed, the farmland was in complete disarray, and the crops were devoured at a visible speed, leaving nothing behind.
"Locust plague?"
The first word that came to Lu Ping’s mind was this.
Meanwhile, not only was there a locust plague, but Lu Ping also noticed a large number of cultivators joining forces to combat the locust swarm.
The Fire Bomb Technique, Red Flame Technique, and even various magical artifacts and spirit talismans emerged in succession, ferociously attacking the locust swarm, creating a chaotic scene.
Occasionally, there were people running for their lives, clutching their heads, and others sighed in frustration, complaining that the locust plague came too abruptly; this year’s harvest was likely to be washed away.
