The sky was pitch black.
Only the lightnings that appeared amidst the roar of rolling thunder tore the black sky apart.
The cold rain continued to fall on the ground of Fenghai County.
Xu Qing stared blankly in the direction of the county capital, causing huge waves in his mind.
"Sheriff, fallen"
As for the county governor, Xu Qing had only met him a few times in the Sword Holding Palace without any contact. He knew more about him from other people's mouths.
But he knows that Fenghai County is still intact and has not been cannibalized and divided by the Shenglan tribe through various methods. The past generations of county guards have made great contributions to this.
As the current county governor, he has been in charge of Fenghai County for 800 years. Although he has not made any achievements in opening up new territories, he can balance the internal and external affairs and work conscientiously so that Fenghai County is still controlled by the human race and the thirteen states are still perfect. This matter has been going on for thousands of years.
There are not many other six counties that gradually lost their state territory.
And today, this old man passed away.
Xu Qing didn't know the details, nor did he know what happened in the county capital. At this moment, his mind was fluctuating, and he thought of Zixuan, Kong Xianglong and others.
So she immediately took out the command sword and the jade slip for transmitting messages, but before she could ask, the command sword and the jade slip sent strong vibrations at the same time, and countless messages exploded inside.
"Xu Qing, are you in the Prison Department? How are you doing!!"
"Xu Qing, the governor fell without any warning. He fell suddenly, so suddenly!"
"Xu Qing, where are you? The Prison Department collapsed!!"
"Countless prisoners escaped and the county was in chaos!"
This information suddenly emerged in Xu Qing's mind at the moment when his perception merged into the sword and jade slips. There were messages from Kong Xianglong, Shan Hezi and others, as well as some sword holders that Xu Qing knew and from the Prison Department.
Pawn.
Xu Qing's body trembled, and a tremor rose from the bottom of his heart, rapidly spreading throughout his body at this moment, and finally turned into a roar in his mind.
"The prison department collapsed?" Xu Qing's heart was filled with huge waves, and he was a little unbelievable. He took the command sword and immediately asked Kong Xianglong.
After receiving Xu Qing's reply, Kong Xianglong spoke quickly with grief and anger in his voice.
"Xu Qing, the Prison Department exploded! Now the prisoners are escaping. There are too many. The palace masters and deputy palace masters of Area D, C, and B, as well as the deacons, are relying on the taboos of the county and the gods imprisoned by the Prison Department.
Fighting with clones."
Just as Xu Qing was about to continue questioning, Zi Xuan's trembling voice came from the sound transmission jade slip.
"Xu Qing, where are you? Are you okay? I'm in the Prison Department and I didn't find you."
Zixuan's voice trembled. Xu Qing responded immediately after hearing it. After knowing that Xu Qing was fine, Zixuan was visibly relieved and was about to continue asking, but Xu Qing was very confused and immediately called Kong Xianglong after a few words.
Sound transmission.
"Brother Kong, at the moment." Before Xu Qing finished transmitting the message, Kong Xianglong's voice came anxiously.
"Xu Qing, if you are not in the county capital, find a place to hide immediately. Don't come back yet. Wait a few days before coming back."
"The Prison Department prisoners are escaping in large numbers. You are a pawn. Once you encounter extremely dangerous situations on the road, something big will happen!"
"I just received news that the Shenglan army appeared on the border of Fenghai County. This was premeditated! Xu Qing, the war is about to begin!"
Kong Xianglong's voice was urgent, and when he said the last word, he revealed his determination...
Xu Qing's mind was in constant ups and downs. These things happened so quickly that he could only calm down quickly, take a deep breath, and without any hesitation, he ran straight to the earth and escaped into the ground, his breath disappearing.
He knew very well that his location was not far from the county capital. With his cultivation, he could reach it in half an hour, so it would not be too slow for prisoners from the Prison Department to get here.
Although most of the prisoners detained by the Prison Department are weak, once those in Area C return to Wanggu Continent, without the suppression of the small world's heavenly law, their combat power will instantly return to their due strength.
So Kong Xianglong was right when he said that he needed to hide himself first and wait for everything to stabilize and return after a few days, which was the most correct choice.
"Fenghai County, there is going to be chaos." Deep underground
Xu Qing's eyes gradually showed sharpness.
After a long time, he took out the jade slip and first sent a message to the old man Banquan Road to inform him of all this, asking him to notify the Wood Spirit Tribe to be alert, and then sent a message to the captain.
But there was still no reply from the captain.
Xu Qing frowned, and after thinking about it, he sent a message to Qingqiu, but to no avail.
Xu Qing sighed softly, put away the sound transmission jade slip, and sat cross-legged to meditate to calm down the ups and downs of his inner thoughts.
Time passes and a day passes.
Xu Qing's sword vibrated strongly, and the palace master's tired voice echoed inside.
"All sword holders within the boundaries of the county capital, who are outside, will return immediately the moment they receive this notice. The time limit is midnight tonight!"
"I'll tell you three things."
"One, the governor fell."
"Two, the Prison Department prisoners have escaped from prison. You can take all measures to protect your own safety on the way back."
"Three, the Shenglan tribe invaded our Fenghai County, and the army came. According to the intelligence, the ancestor of the Shenglan tribe woke up and ordered the whole tribe to start a war."
"Sword-bearers, the war has come."
Xu Qing silently put away his command sword, lowered his head to sort out his storage bag, and sensed his own condition. His eyes were filled with coldness, and in a flash he escaped from the ground and rose into the sky.
It is noon at this moment, and the sky is a little different from yesterday. You can see that the entire sky is filled with a big net.
The sparkling crystal light of this network covers the sky and covers an endless range.
Waves of coercion spread out from the crystal net. Almost as soon as Xu Qing appeared, the net in the sky flashed, as if recording it.
Xu Qing was thoughtful and galloped in the direction of the county capital.
On the way, he was more vigilant and vigilant than before, until he was about to approach the county capital, when he received a message from Kong Xianglong.
In the message, Kong Xianglong informed Xu Qing that the chaos in the county capital had been temporarily suppressed through the joint efforts of the three Shangxuan palace masters and the county magistrate. At the same time, due to the arrival of the war, the master of the Sword Palace Palace who was in charge of the war would temporarily act as the county guard.
office, temporary power.
Two decrees have been issued today.
One is to summon the sword holders to return, and the other is to block the entire territory and fully activate the forbidden magic weapon in the county.
The big net in the sky is the forbidden magic weapon of the county capital.
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the crystal net in the distance, put away his sword and walked away. Soon after, the county capital was in sight.
The entire county capital changed drastically when Xu Qing left.
A large number of fragments appeared in the floating capital city in the sky. It looked like it was riddled with holes. The three surrounding Shangxuan Palaces were also damaged...
And the most shocking thing is the earth.
The deep pit where the Prison Department once stood has now collapsed, and the entrance is blocked by countless rubbles.
Huge cracks centered there and spread in all directions, which was shocking.
The entire Prison Department ceased to exist.
In addition, there were several times more sword-holders and patrolling cultivators from the county capital than before. They were scattered in all directions and were heavily guarded. Most of their expressions were filled with sadness and anger, but also solemn expressions.
Then there are the heterogeneous and remaining magic fluctuations, which have not been completely dispelled here, making many places look distorted and blurred.
Xu Qing's heart sank. As he approached, many patrolling sword holders came on guard. Some spiritual thoughts shrouded him from all directions. After realizing Xu Qing's identity, they slowly dispersed.
Xu Qing remained silent and walked towards the Prison Department.
At the blocked entrance, some pawns of the Prison Department were casting spells, opening up a narrow passage there. After noticing Xu Qing's arrival, these pawns turned their heads.
No one spoke, and their expressions were all cold and cold, like ferocious beasts that were looking for people to devour, looking at the people of their kind who were approaching.
Xu Qing walked over silently and looked at the gap that was opened. He stepped in and followed the passage deep into the room. There were originally cells all around, but now the walls were broken.
Looking at these, Xu Qing's eyes showed coldness until he reached the cell where Zeng Ding 132 was.
The gate of Ding Yi San Er has been torn into pieces, half of the area inside was crushed by huge rocks, and the remaining
The cages were shattered, and all the prisoners inside disappeared.
Also missing was the little boy.
He is gone.
Xu Qing was silent and walked to a corner, where he saw a hill made of bamboo slip fragments.
Each bamboo slip inside records similar content.
After a while, Xu Qing left, took away the fragments of bamboo slips, and went to the former eighty-ninth floor.
In Area C, Xu Qing looked at the broken murals around him, and his small world had collapsed.
"You came."
A hoarse voice came from the collapsed rubble in the distance.
In the darkness, the scarred ghost hand sat there, surrounded by scattered wine bottles. He was still holding one in his hand. He looked at Xu Qing and laughed miserably.
"They all ran away, completely."
"I killed several, but I can't finish them all."
Xu Qing walked over and looked at the ghost hand, which was seriously injured and even the foundation of his cultivation was broken. He felt the strong sense of death permeating the other person's body. He silently took out some pills and put them aside.
"Old man, I can't die yet, Xu Qing, do you have any wine?" Ghost Hand threw the empty pot in his hand to the ground, and a series of sounds were heard.
Xu Qing nodded, took out a pot from the storage bag, and handed it over. San. You. Xiao. said he would watch it for free every day.
The ghost hand raised his trembling hand, caught it, took a big sip, and then coughed violently. After his face turned an abnormal red cloud, he panted, looked at the broken mural, and murmured.
"How could I die so easily? Xu Qing, you know, I have a sword that I have cultivated for hundreds of years, but I haven't cut down too many people who escaped before. I can only cut one with this sword. I
I don’t want to waste it like this.”…
"I prepared this to protect Area C. I want to kill the beast who destroyed the Prison Department."
"I won't die until I'm cut off." Ghost Hand murmured, his voice firm.
Xu Qing was silent, cupped his fists and bowed, and left here with the complexity in his heart.
At this moment, in the Shenglan Territory, which is far away from Fenghai County, there is a very special plain. It does not belong to any county. It is located in the center of the Shenglan Territory and is the holy land of the entire Shenglan tribe.
Looking around, the place is completely white. It is not covered with ice and snow but with gravel.
Every grain contains a strong aura, and there are countless human-shaped statues in all directions of the plain, exuding an ancient aura.
They are the bodyguards of Grand Duke Shenglan who betrayed the human race back then.
Now that time has passed, all the monks in the legion have turned into statues, standing on this white plain. Looking from a distance, this moment actually gives people a sense of sanctity.
And this sacred source is a white temple in the only plain.
This is the ancestral temple of the Shenglan tribe and the place where their ancestor sleeps.
At this time, there were four tall figures outside the temple, kneeling and worshiping there, motionless.
These four people are all wearing imperial robes and imperial crowns. They are the emperors of the four major dynasties of the Shenglan tribe, and the Emperor of Tianfeng is also among them.
"Ancestor, we have acted according to the plan." The Emperor of Tianfeng spoke respectfully.
"Ancestor, the Red Spirit Army has entered Fenghai County. In addition, some clues have been found about the Son of God Black Sky. Please make a decision." Beside Tianfeng Emperor, the Red Spirit Emperor spoke in a deep voice.
The temple was quiet for a long time, and a vicissitudes of sound seemed to come from the ancient river of time, echoing over the white plains.
"Put aside the matters concerning the Son of God for now, and put all important matters first!"
"Obey the Emperor's decree!" Outside the temple, the four emperors lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.
