Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

"There is a conspiracy." Shen Lishu sat on his horse, his eyes fixed on the Jiangzhou city gate. At this time, the Jiangzhou city gate was wide open, and there was no guard inside.

Is this... the empty city plan?

Shen Lishu was a little confused.

At this time, a group of people came out of the city gate. They were all dressed in straw and cloth, and knelt outside the city gate with submissive expressions.

Shen Lishu looked carefully and found that this was Emperor Jinning.

Seeing him, everyone present was filled with hatred.

"Welcome the Lord of Qingli to Jiangzhou City."

Shen Lishu narrowed his eyes, "What does Emperor Jinning mean by this?"

Emperor Jinning looked around, his eyes widened, "Isn't it obvious enough? Surrender, we voluntarily submit to Qingli."

Zhou Aotian moved closer to Shen Lishu and whispered, "Master, it doesn't look fake."

"We still have to be careful, this guy is very cunning." Shunzi became more cautious.

"But his imperial teacher is dead. What can he use to fight us? It's normal for him to surrender." These are what Zhao Hu said.

Shen Lishu was in the middle, looking at the honest face of Emperor Jinning, and raised his hand to stop his subordinates' discussion.

Everyone stopped immediately.

"Since you have surrendered, I naturally cannot but give you face. Enter the city!"

“Ah, ah, ah…” Emperor Jinning hurriedly made way.

Shen Lishu looked around and said, "We must enter this city, but this old fox may not be that simple. You all should be careful."

"Yes, we understand." Everyone responded in unison. They all understood that if Qing Li didn't go in, the whole world would laugh at their master the next day for being a coward who didn't dare to go in even when the door was open.

Shen Lishu rode a tall horse and swaggered into the city, with people standing on both sides watching the fun.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces at this moment were all frighteningly gloomy, as if each face was shrouded in thick dark clouds.

Each of their eyes were fixed on Shen Lishu, and those glances shot straight at him like sharp arrows, the hostility and resentment contained in them were almost overflowing.

However, despite this, none of these people dared to act easily. They could only suppress the anger and unwillingness in their hearts. The feeling of being suffocated was as if an invisible hand was strangling their throats, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Lishu was acutely aware of all this. From those hateful eyes, he could even imagine that if conditions allowed, these people would pick up the rotten leaves on the ground and throw them at him without hesitation.

After a little thought, she understood the key.

Although Qingli was well-known and highly praised in other regions, this was Jiangzhou City! It was the capital of Nanning State, and it was also the place where the State Master Chen Xin lived.

Na Chenxin has been operating here for many years and has a deep foundation and extensive influence.

His influence is like an invisible net, covering the entire Jiangzhou City.

Therefore, it is simply a pipe dream for Qing Li to have a good reputation here.

Moreover, not long ago, when Shen Lishu first came here, he heard many rumors and comments about Chen Xin.

Everyone praises him as a god, as if he is the master of this city and everything in people's lives depends on his protection.

Now, he actually killed with his own hands Chen Xin, the national teacher who was regarded as a god by everyone. It was like cutting off the livelihood of these people, or murdering their "parents who provided them with food and clothing" in their minds.

In this case, how could they possibly look at Shen Lishu in a good light? I'm afraid they were lucky that they didn't gang up on him.

The Qingli Army successfully entered the Jiangzhou Palace. All the concubines and children of Emperor Jinning were gathered together, with frightened looks in their eyes.

Shen Lishu glanced over indifferently. The children, whose average age was less than ten years old, shrank a little. She counted them and found that there were about ten of them. It was obvious that they were all born after Emperor Jinning ascended the throne.

Tsk, this old guy is really good. After the death of Lu Chen and Zhu Cai, he gave birth to a bunch of new ones.

The next moment, Shen Lishu was in trouble again. Normally, she should root out the evil, but... she felt a little soft-hearted when she saw these children.

What a hell!

She actually softened her heart and waved her hands helplessly, "Take them all away and lock them up."

Zhou Aotian took the order and left, and soon the hall was empty.

Only Shen Lishu and Emperor Jinning were left.

Shen Lishu stroked his chin, wondering how he could find a reason to kill this old man...

The two of them were sworn enemies, but they absolutely could not keep him around to cause trouble for themselves. It would be very annoying if he caused trouble again one day.

So, just kill him.

Emperor Jinning seemed to be unable to sense the murderous intent and had forgotten all past grudges.

He moved a stool, stepped on it, and took out a square box from under the plaque in the center of the hall.

Then he solemnly held it in front of Shen Lishu, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Lord Qingli, this is the imperial seal. With it, you are the rightful master of this world."

Shen Lishu leaned back in his chair, seemingly casually glancing at the box containing the imperial seal, but in fact he saw the fine beads of sweat gradually oozing out of Emperor Jinning's forehead.

As time passed, Emperor Jinning felt that his heart was about to rise to his throat, but the woman in front of him remained calm and composed.

Finally, after Emperor Jinning had been feeling uneasy for a long time, Shen Lishu finally laughed softly.

The laughter was clear and sweet, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, but to the ears of Emperor Jinning, it was as frightening as thunder. She slowly stretched out her hand and took the box containing the imperial seal.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to see what's so special about this legendary jade seal. I won't do anything to you." Shen Lishu said lightly with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

She slowly opened the box, her movements as graceful as if she were uncovering a precious treasure. Under the expectant gaze of Emperor Jinning, Shen Lishu gently picked up the jade seal.

The jade seal was crystal clear and exuded a warm luster. It was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns that looked lifelike.

Shen Lishu carefully examined the jade seal in his hand, and gently stroked its smooth surface with his fingers. At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart.

She felt her head gradually becoming heavy, and her consciousness began to blur. Her hands and feet, which had been flexible at first, seemed to have lost all their strength, becoming extremely soft and unable to support the weight of her body.

As his grip loosened, the jade seal fell to the ground with a loud clang, making a crisp and loud crash. The sound echoed in the silent palace, seeming particularly abrupt.

Shen Lishu's face was filled with horror. He pointed at Emperor Jinning and asked, "You...what did you do? How did I..."

Emperor Jinning slowly straightened his hunched body and laughed triumphantly, "This is the magic medicine I specially exchanged for from the system. I applied it on the jade seal just to wait for this moment. Not to mention practitioners like you, even gods can be killed."

"I thought so!" Shen Lishu bit his tongue hard to keep himself awake, "I am obviously immune to all poisons, and I have my cultivation to protect me, how could I be attacked?

It turns out that you are also a tasker, and you hid it so deeply."

“I’m not one of those idiots who reveals my uniqueness as soon as I arrive, for fear that others don’t know that I’m a tasker.

That bitch Chen Xin thought I was her dog, but she didn't know that I was lurking beside her, waiting for the moment she succeeded before taking action.

However, it doesn't matter if you are the candidate now." Emperor Jinning saw the right opportunity, and his sharp claws pierced through Shen Lishu's body, and he took out a small ball with golden light from his dantian.

"Hahaha! This is the authority of heaven, so beautiful."

He reluctantly put away his power, then conjured up a knife and looked ferociously at the motionless Shen Lishu. There was a fist-sized hole in her dantian, she was covered in cold sweat, her hair stuck to her cheeks, she looked as miserable as could be.

"What do you want to do?"

Emperor Jinning laughed, "Of course I will kill you. I have already got the things, so you are naturally useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slashed with his sword. Shen Lishu's head fell to the ground, and blood splattered all over Emperor Jinning's face.

He laughed heartily, "Hahahahaha!!! I finally completed the mission. The system will take me out of this world soon. This place will collapse soon."

After waiting for a long time, the system did not respond to him.

Emperor Jinning couldn't help but feel strange, "System, system, hurry up! What are you doing?"

After a long while, the system's somewhat dejected voice sounded, "Stop shouting, we can't leave."

"Impossible!" Emperor Jinning retorted subconsciously. After waiting for a while, he began to believe it a little and asked with a grim expression, "How could this happen? What happened to the system? Are we going to die with this world? What went wrong with you?"

The system sighed, "No malfunction."

"Then..." Emperor Jinning finally realized that something was wrong, "I have taken away the authority of the Heavenly Dao, why hasn't this world collapsed yet?"

"Pa pa pa!" The sound of applause rang out, and Shen Lishu strode into the hall, "You performed well in this play."
