That night, after the two palace lords left for the northern war zone, the one hundred thousand sword wielders of the Sword Wielding Palace set off under the palace lord's lead.
These one hundred thousand people were the elite force that the entire Fenghai County had accumulated over hundreds of years.
Every single one of them was once an outstanding talent of their respective province. They had gone through many tests before finally becoming sword wielders.
Every single one of them had carried out many missions. Whether it was killing or tenacity, they had gone through many trials and tribulations.
It could even be said that they were the core of the Fenghai County and their future was entrusted to them!
But today, these one hundred thousand sword wielders were on the move.
They carried with them the determination, the oath of death, and the words and vows that they had chanted in past ceremonies as they set off for the western war zone.
Xu Qing stood on a mountain peak outside the county capital. He concealed himself and looked in the direction of the army in the dark. In the cold wind, his clothes fluttered and his long hair danced behind him.
Xu Qing stared silently for a long time before a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He turned around and merged into the darkness, heading toward the Dawn Dawn Province.
He was like a lone wolf walking in the dark.
In the darkness of the Dawn County, Xu Qing, who was running at full speed, felt his heart ripple under his vigilance and wariness.
This was because the Dawn County was located in the Dawn County.
The thing that he desired the most when he first came to the county capital was to go to the Dawn County Mountain. However, he had never imagined that it would be accomplished in such a manner.
As he moved forward, Xu Qing took out the jade slip that the palace lord had given him and began to read it.
Before the palace lord had set off, he had said a lot to him and had expressed his thoughts very clearly.
The sudden death of the county governor was very strange. Anyone could be the culprit behind the scenes.
The contents of the jade slip caused Xu Qing to stop abruptly and his breathing to quicken after a moment.
"The Supreme Light Fate Pill?"
Xu Qing murmured in his heart. He had studied medicine very deeply but had never heard of such a pill.
The palace lord's jade slip introduced this pill. This was a forbidden pill that had been strictly forbidden during the reign of Ancient Emperor Xuan You and had been destroyed. It had been lost for a long time.
Even the ban on this pill had been echoed by the thousands of races. The upper echelons of each race hated this pill to the core.
This Supreme Light Fate Tribulation Pill had no effect on ordinary cultivators.
However, to the rulers of the various races, it was a calamity that could not be resolved and could even result in death.
This was because the principle behind it was related to luck.
This pill could detonate the power of providence in a person's body, causing them to die instantly. The more providence one gathered, the more powerful it would be.
In history, this pill was first created in the light of the setting sun to resist the rule of the Ancientspirits.
Later, in the era of Ancient Emperor Xuan You, this pill appeared again. It poisoned many people of the Human Race who gathered their providence. It also poisoned many foreign rulers. There were even three foreign emperors who died in the hands of this pill.
Whether it was the Human Clan or the alien clans, as long as they were in the Ancient Gazing Continent, the high-ranking experts would gather the fortune of their clans.
This providence allowed one to possess a certain degree of Heaven's Will.
But at the same time, if this luck were to transform into a tribulation, the backlash would be terrifying and shocking.
The Palace Master of the Sword Wielding Palace had led all the clues to the Life Calamity Elixir during his half a month of investigation.
Xu Qing's pupils contracted as the information left by the Palace Master in the jade slip appeared in his mind.
"According to my investigation, there are many possibilities for the death of the old County Governor.
But among these many possibilities, there are only a few … that can affect the Punishment Division that I'm guarding. "
"The Punishment Division is suppressing the last clone of the sleeping God of the Forbidden Immortal Land. The method of suppression is related to providence. It turns into the power of oblivion, causing the clone of the God to think that he is the weapon spirit of the Punishment Division."
"For those who want to investigate further, you can look through the dossier on Ding 132. As for the Penal Warden, Ding 132 is the epitome of it, and also the representative. You can also ask me, Secretary Xu Qing. This person is the last Ding 132, and he is also the future successor that I am preparing to groom.
He is one of the most trustworthy people. "
"Prison Cell 132 of the Punishment Division is formed by the power of suppression. There is a finger of the God's clone and a spirit formed by the providence of Sea Sealing County."
"The power of the God's clone in the Forbidden Immortal Land is to make everyone who remembers him fall into endless misfortune. According to past records, this misfortune will be more terrifying each time until death!"
"As for Ding 132's spirit of providence, it is to erase the memories of those who see the God and make them forget, thus severing karma."
"Therefore, under normal circumstances, no matter what happened in the county.
Even if the old County Governor died, it would not affect the Punishment Division. This is because the Punishment Division has existed for too long and has experienced the appointment and dismissal of many County Governors. "
"After eliminating the few possibilities one by one, I finally set my sights on the Life Calamity Elixir."
"As for why I thought of this elixir, subsequent investigators can check the 19 Secret Dossiers."
"However, all of this is based on my limited investigation. Time waits for no man, and because the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, I cannot expose my suspicions. Now that the war zone is in danger, the safety of Sea Sealing County is more important. It is difficult for me to investigate quietly."
"Therefore, I will send Secretary Xu Qing to investigate a clue in secret."
"That is the light of the morning sun."
"In order to activate the Life Calamity Elixir, there is a condition. That is the light before the sun falls, and this kind of light can only last for a short time."
"This light will occasionally form on Morning Sun Mountain."
"However, with the scheming and methods of the person who set this up, this investigation is likely to be ineffective. I cannot not investigate. As for the result … if I die in battle, I ask subsequent investigators to ask Xu Qing."
Xu Qing stood on the dark plain and silently put away the jade slip. He turned back and looked in the direction of the western war zone. After a while, his body flashed, and he sped toward Morning Sun State.
Just like that, several days passed.
Just as everyone thought that he was still by the Palace Lord's side and had already left for the battlefield, Xu Qing activated the concealment jade slip that Exalted Immortal Purple Mystic had given him and silently arrived at the state border between the county capital and the Morning Dawn State.
This state border was not small. Occasionally, there would be a special kind of wind blowing between heaven and earth.
Wherever this wind passed, countless spatial cracks would appear in midair, making it difficult for people to fly. They could only run on the ground. Moreover, this wind only targeted the sky and did not affect the ground.
Legend had it that this kind of wind was formed after the sun fell on Morning Sun State and spread in all directions, forming a unique climate. The locals called it the Solar Wind.
When the Solar Wind blew past, unless one's cultivation was astonishingly powerful, it would be difficult to resist.
One could only fly after the wind was over.
Only by passing through this region could one truly enter Morning Sun State.
Here, Xu Qing sped along. When the wind blew, he landed on the ground, and when the wind dissipated, he rose into the air again. Along the way, he also saw the huge impact the war had on Fenghai County.
The people of the small human nations were in a state of panic.
The villages and towns in the wilderness were becoming more and more desolate.
Every person that Xu Qing saw carried the fear of war and the confusion of the future.
As for the foreign tribes, although it was the same, Xu Qing, who had changed out of his sword-wielding Daoist robe and put on an ordinary long robe, could still see greed and ambition in the foreign tribes he met.
He could imagine that once Fenghai County's war zone fell and the Holy Billow Tribe's army charged in, the foreign tribes in Fenghai County would probably immediately switch sides and take advantage of the chaos to plunder everything.
The Palace Lord's decree was correct. If the foreign tribe's experts were not conscripted, they would be in even greater danger.
There was a cold look in Xu Qing's eyes. As he continued on his way, he saw many places that used to belong to human sects. At that moment, all of them had activated their Runes to seal off the mountains. Most of the cultivators there had already been summoned to the battlefield.
The taboo Dharma treasures from the large sects also appeared between heaven and earth. The taboo Dharma treasures in the county capital took over and were used in unison.
Over the past few days, the sky changed more than a hundred times. Every time, the sky changed colors, the clouds surged, and rumbled in all directions.
Xu Qing knew that this was the result of the taboo Dharma treasures being activated.
At noon, the sky rumbled again. Xu Qing looked up and saw beams of resplendent light rapidly flowing from the large net, exuding an astonishing pressure. They split into two parts and headed to the west and north respectively.
There, the power formed by the taboo Dharma treasures of the human sects would explode and cause great damage.
Every few moments, the sky would rumble, constantly reminding Xu Qing that the war was in full swing.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and continued forward.
Another two days passed.
At the edge of Dawn County, which was only a day's journey away, dusk fell. When the solar wind appeared in the sky, Xu Qing, who was speeding on the ground, saw a village.
There was something very wrong with this village.
Everything inside was extremely illogical. It was completely different from the villages he knew.
For example, the trees in the village did not grow on the ground, but in the air.
There was also a flock of birds floating in the sky. Although they were flapping their wings, they could not move forward, as if they were restricted in place.
Under the solar wind, they were gradually becoming incomplete.
The ground was even stranger. The houses in the village were actually built upside down.
There were even many areas that would occasionally disappear and reappear, as if they were stuck.
At the entrance of the village, there was a bald mutt with a human face. It was growling at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's gaze swept past. At this moment, dusk dissipated, and night fell.
In an instant, everything changed again. As the sky turned dark, everything returned to normal, turning into a very ordinary village.
As for the mutt at the entrance of the village, it turned into a tall blockhead. It bared its black and yellow teeth at Xu Qing and kept waving at him.
Xu Qing was expressionless. He did not have time to waste here. With a flash, he circled around the village and was about to leave.
But at this moment, the village behind him suddenly trembled. All the buildings grew slender legs and stood up from the ground, chasing after Xu Qing.
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, all the buildings in the village squatted down. The blockhead at the entrance of the village still bared its yellow teeth and waved at Xu Qing.
At the same time, the entire village emitted a malicious aura.
Xu Qing glanced at it for a moment, then strode forward.
The shadow behind him, hidden in the darkness, emitted waves of excitement that spread out. The sound of saliva being swallowed echoed out in the quiet night.
"Hungry … hungry …."
When Xu Qing heard the shadow's saliva, he could sense the fluctuations in its emotions. He couldn't help but think back to the time in the Ancient Spirit Emperor Plane, when the shadow had been suppressing its disgust and eating a lot of evil souls. In the end, it had vomited.
This display of loyalty made Xu Qing feel that he should reward it. Therefore, he quickened his pace.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the village that had taken the initiative to find him. He stood at the entrance of the village and gave him a strange smile.
He stood in front of the blockhead, who saw Xu Qing arrive. The blockhead was about to speak, but the shadow behind Xu Qing could no longer hold itself back and pounced forward.
The shadow enveloped the blockhead, and he disappeared.
Chewing sounds could be heard from the shadow, echoing throughout the entire village. All the buildings in the village began to tremble.
Eyes grew out from the trees and houses, and when they looked in Xu Qing's direction, they shrank rapidly.
Xu Qing stood in place, expressionless, and said coolly, "Go eat."
