In just one stick of incense, Qingqiu worked extremely hard to compile all the information about Qu Zhaozhou and Yinghuangzhou since the war for Xu Qing, and thoughtfully divided it into two jade slips.

It was delivered to Xu Qing, who was closing his eyes and concentrating in the Shuling Division.

She does not do this work alone, there are other sword holders who cooperate with the review. After ensuring that it is correct, they need to add their own marks.

This is a method of accountability set up to prevent mistakes from occurring.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, took the jade slip and inspected it.

In today's Fenghai County, it is impossible for foreigners to obtain troops, so the only two places Xu Qing can think of are Quzhao Prefecture and Yinghuang Prefecture.

Due to the outbreak of the Clothing Ban and the Corpse Ban in these two states, the palace lord ordered them not to go to the front line, but to suppress the two bans with all their strength, and not to allow the two bans to riot during the war.

Fenghai County has a total of thirteen states.

If the power of these two states could be released, it would be equivalent to providing nearly 20% of the power for the front line at this moment.

This is extremely huge military assistance to the front line.

But this matter is too difficult. Even if Xu Qing can ask Qingqin to take action, it will still be difficult.

So now he began to research information on these two states.

"The disaster of the Clothing Ban has been basically suppressed, but this is the most critical time. Now the entire Quzhao Prefecture, under the coordination of its sword-holding court, is going all out to carry out the final seal. During this period, in order to prevent the Clothing Ban from counterattack, it is indispensable

Combat strength will take another month."

Xu Qing frowned and sighed secretly.

One month is too long, and it is too late for the current Fenghai County front line.

But if the seal is not removed, the land of a state will first be invaded by the forbidden land, and the foundations of all the human clans in the state will be destroyed, and countless human races will be reduced to the rations of the forbidden land and be completely alienated.

As it spreads, there will be chaos within Fenghai County.

Moreover, most of the foreigners in these two states also participated in the sealing. After all, unlike the situation in other states, the danger at the doorstep forced the foreigners in these two states to take action.

Therefore, it was difficult for Xu Qing to give the order to cancel the seal and go to the front line immediately.

This is especially true for Yinghuang Province, where Xu Qing’s base camp is located. Even if more than ninety ethnic groups from the Forbidden Sea cooperated to fight against the corpse ban, and most of the power of Yinghuang Province was gathered, it still only allowed the corpse to be defeated.

The forbidden chaos was barely suppressed.

Now we are in a stalemate.

Xu Qing was silent and looked at the jade slip carefully. After a long time, when he was reviewing the information from Yinghuangzhou, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he noticed that there was a piece of information in it, which was recorded in the routine petition of the Sword-bearing Court.

"Most of the foreign races and forces in Yinghuang Province participated in the battle against the Corpse Imprisonment, but some did not, led by Sanling Town Dao Mountain and Ghost Emperor Mountain."

"However, after communication, the two major forces agreed not to step outside the area during this period."

"The three spirits of Zhendao Mountain and the seven souls of Ghost Emperor Mountain are all transformed by the Ghost Emperor's own soul, and the remaining marks of Ghost Emperor Mountain are indestructible unless they are Yun Shen. Therefore, they are all immortals. There will be friction if they are forced to fight. And if

Without sincerity, there is no benefit in sealing the corpse, but it will distract you."

"Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary complications and waste of time, our state's sword-holding court decided to allow them not to go to war."

Xu Qing stared at this message and pondered for a long time. He stood up and walked around the Shuling Office.

The eyes are sometimes determined and sometimes hesitant, as if weighing.

Qing Qiu and Ning Yan, who were standing by, had rarely seen Xu Qing so hesitant. Even when Hei Tian was the son of God, they had never seen Xu Qing like this. So after they looked at each other, they instinctively did not dare to breathe.

In this way, after Xu Qing frowned and walked for dozens of steps, he felt the Ghost Emperor's Palace in his body. He paused and looked up at the sky outside, with a decisive look on his face.

"Qingqiu, Ning Yan, you two are in charge of the Shuling Division, collecting frontline information, supervising the progress of material escorts, and granting Qingqiu the authority. If there is anything important, you can use the sword-holding palace formation to send messages to my command sword."

Qingqiu quickly raised her chest and was about to speak loudly, but thinking of her own pride, she suppressed her instinct and nodded calmly.

Ning Yan, on the other hand, didn't have so many worries, he declared yes, and then asked curiously.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you going out?"

Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan and did not answer the question. He did not want to tell others his specific whereabouts before setting off, so he spoke calmly.

"I'm going to pay a visit to the Clothes Control Bureau."

After saying that, Xu Qing stepped out of the Shuling Command without any hesitation. He raised his steps and walked toward the sky. In a few steps, he was above the sky.

The big bird Qingqin squeaked, and three huge heads emerged from the clouds. It looked at Xu Qing excitedly, making swallowing movements, as if it wanted to exterminate the clan.

His right head quickly reached under Xu Qing and carried Xu Qing on top of his head.

As Xu Qing's spiritual thoughts came out, Qingqin's eyes showed a strong look, and she flapped her wings suddenly. Suddenly, the sky in the county capital exploded. With a roar, Qingqin took Xu Qing and disappeared in this area.

.

Qingqin's speed is so fast that it is not much slower than the teleportation array in short distances. But in the long run, it is not as convenient as the teleportation array. However, Xu Qing does not want to reveal his specific whereabouts in advance, although he also understands this possibility.

It’s not big, but you still need to be cautious.

So after leaving the confines of the county capital, he found a teleportation array in the Sword Holding Palace, stepped into it together with Qingqin, who had shrunk a lot, and disappeared inside.

In this way, after many twists and turns, three days later, Xu Qing and Qingqin appeared at the border of Yinghuang Prefecture, outside the Northern Plains.

Although it was noon at this moment, the sunlight seemed to be only bright and without warmth, so the icy wind blew by, setting off a sea of ​​snowflakes that swirled between the sky and the earth.

The cold wind was biting and the earth was covered in silver. Only the Taichu Liyou Pillar standing there in the distance was earth-shattering and gave people a sense of grandeur.

However, in Xu Qing's memory, the countless tents surrounding Taichu Li Youzhu made it a gathering place for human beings like a town.

But now, most of the tents here are empty. The cold wind rushes through, shaking countless tents and making a rattling sound.

There were only sporadic elderly figures, occasionally wrapped tightly, appearing in the cold wind.

These people are not sword holders, but residents here.

Apparently they were left behind by the Sword-bearing Court, and they were not allowed to participate in the war as they were old.

Xu Qing glanced at the black palace at the top of Taichu Liyou Pillar from the sky. He could feel that there were not many sword holders there.

"Taichu Liyouzhu..." Xu Qing motioned to Qingqin to hover in the sky here.

As the clouds and mist gathered due to the arrival of Qingqin, Xu Qing stared at this earth-shattering pillar in the mist. This time, if he wanted to achieve his goal, he needed to verify it with the Taichu Liyou Pillar.

Then Xu Qing suddenly raised his right hand and grasped it slightly in the air.

At the same time, the Ghost Emperor's Palace in the body was running, and the figure of the Ghost Emperor sitting cross-legged and meditating inside suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, Taichu Liyouzhu shook violently. This scene immediately attracted the attention of the casual cultivators here and the Yinghuangzhou Sword-holding Court. As their expressions changed, they also noticed the looming shadow of a large bird in the clouds and mist in the sky.

"Who is coming!"

After arriving at Yinghuang Prefecture, there was no point in covering up. Xu Qing, standing on the Qingqin, took out his sword and spoke calmly.

"Xu Qing."

As Xu Qing's voice came out and Qingqin flapped his wings, the clouds and mist surrounding them dispersed, and his figure was immediately noticed by the sword holders left behind in the Ying Huangzhou Sword Holding Court.

In other states, perhaps the sword holder would have to identify Xu Qing's name first, and then Xu Qing's appearance, so as to initially know the identity, and then cooperate with the sword wielder to finalize it.

But in Yinghuangzhou, the memory of Xu Qing's appearance was extremely clear to the sword holder.

After all, his promotion and brilliance were witnessed by all the sword-holders in Yinghuangzhou, so after the sword-wielding formations dispersed and Xu Qing's command sword was confirmed, the figures of the sword-holders quickly appeared one after another.

of flying out.

"Xu Qing!"

"It's Xu Shuling!"

Most of these sword holders looked familiar to Xu Qing. After seeing Xu Qing, they all looked friendly and greeted him immediately. One of the sword holders who was responsible for staying behind took a step forward and spoke respectfully.

"Xu Shuling, you want to open the Taichu Liyou Pillar? Do you need our cooperation?"

Xu Qing shook his head. He knew that the ghost cave was suppressed under Taichu Liyouzhu and could not be opened easily, and he was just here to try, so he suddenly grabbed it with his right hand, and the tremor of Taichuliyouzhu suddenly became more intense.

But he understands that he can only do this. If he wants to truly shake it out, it is simply impossible to accomplish with his current level of cultivation.

However, Xu Qing's purpose is not to take out the Taichu Liyou Pillar, but...

"Item Spirit!" Xu Qing suddenly spoke, his voice echoing like thunder from the sky. He was calling the Weapon Spirit on Taichu Liyou Pillar. This was his purpose.

After a long time, as the Taichu Liyou Pillar vibrated, a low groan that spread throughout the world spread from the Taichu Liyou Pillar.

The sound penetrated the sky and shook all directions. At the same time, a pair of huge eyes appeared on the Taichu Liyou Pillar. The meaning of vicissitudes of life permeated all directions. When looking at Xu Qing, these eyes clearly showed doubts.

This scene shocked the sword-holders here. They naturally knew that Taichu Liyouzhu had a weapon spirit, but usually this weapon spirit was in a sleeping state. The only way the entire sword-holding court could communicate with it was through the great elder.

But now, with Xu Qing's words, the other party actually woke up.

Xu Qing stared at the eyes of Taichu Li Youzhu's weapon spirit, and the Ghost Emperor's Palace in his body was shaking more and more. The figure of the Ghost Emperor cross-legged inside also showed a brilliant light in his eyes.

Xu Qing pondered, feeling that it was not enough, so he waved his hand and used the power of the demon talisman. Behind him, the color of the sky and the earth changed, clouds surged from all directions, and a vague Ghost Emperor Mountain suddenly descended.

"Ghost Emperor Mountain!"

"This...this..."

For people from outside the state, they are not that familiar with Ghost Emperor Mountain, and they do not immediately understand its significance. However, for Yinghuangzhou monks, the existence of Ghost Emperor Mountain is extremely clear. After recognizing it at a glance, each of them

His expression changed drastically, and he was extremely shocked.

Taichu Li Youzhu was also trembling to the extreme at this moment, and the confusion in Qi Ling's eyes immediately turned into confusion, and there was even a hint of excitement.
To be continued...
