Chapter 716: The Mad Old Man
Great Xiang was no longer the Great Xiang it once was, and the Northern Desert was no longer the Northern Desert of the past.
Such a sudden Tribulation had thrown nearly all the rules of this world into chaos. People clung to life by a thread, the masses were destitute, and now they were forced to seek refuge in foreign lands.
It was laughable, sorrowful, lamentable...
Chen Changsheng took a sip of wine, looking out at the street. When he first set out, he had merely wanted to see exactly how chaotic the Northwest had become. Now, upon his return, he seemed to harbor that very same purpose.
He let out a light sigh, lamenting the fickleness of the world.
After a brief rest, he left the shop and wandered through Jianggu City.
Notably, he came across a temple dedicated to a celestial official. It appeared to have been built less than two years ago.
The statue of the celestial official wore a yellow robe and bore a fierce, glaring expression, accompanied by a tiger at its side. Plumes of Incense smoke curled up from the Ritual Cauldron. A few pilgrims were offering their respects, though they were sparse in number.
Within the temple were both Northern Desert People and natives of Great Xiang, praying for entirely different things.
