Outside the penal division of Fenghai County, the collapsed county capital, Xu Qing walked out with a gloomy face.
He looked up at the ruined county capital above, his body flew away, and soon arrived at the county capital, heading straight for the station of the Eight Sects Alliance.
On the way, the incomplete buildings were constantly reflected in Xu Qing's sight, obviously yesterday's upheaval had a great impact on this prosperous capital.
In the sparse pedestrians in a hurry, Xu Qing saw hesitation, dazedness, nervousness and fear.
The bizarre death of the county magistrate was enough to make people panic, and the collapse of the Prison Division was even more shocking, coupled with the spread of the news of the invasion of the Holy Lan Clan, a huge haze rose in the hearts of these people.
There were even some monks among them, and they couldn't hide the fear in their expressions, after all, not all of them were sword bearers.
Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and galloped all the way.
Soon came to the station of the Eight Sects Alliance.
With Zixuan in charge, the division of the sect is still intact, but at this moment, most of the alliance disciples inside are packing their bags, as if they are preparing to travel.
Xu Qing's eyes swept without pause, and went straight to Zixuan's residence, where he saw Zixuan and his best friend Li Shitao.
The two looked solemn and were discussing important matters, when they saw Xu Qinghou Zixuan's hazy face showing a touch of softness.
"Xu Qing, I was about to go to find you in a while, I received an emergency call from the sect, I can't stay here, I will teleport back today."
"The corpse ban has broken out, and the Sword Holding Palace has ordered all races and sects in the Ying Huang Prefecture to resist the disaster of the corpse ban." Zi Xuan's voice was solemn.
Xu Qing's heart sank when he heard this, he was the first person to discover about the corpse ban, so he naturally knew what was going on there.
"In fact, at the beginning, the Eight Sects Alliance and the Sword Court already knew that the Holy Lan Clan was behind the disaster of the corpse ban, and they also took precautions, so you don't have to worry too much about your master."
"And the purpose of the Shenglan clan detonating the corpse ban is now also revealed, in order to contain the power of some states in Fenghai County."
"Xu Qing, this period is an eventful time, you are by the side of the palace master of the Sword Holding Palace, and it should be safer than outside at the moment, so this time I didn't call you to return together, you are here...... Be vigilant."
Zi Xuan's eyes showed concern, and he took out three jade slips and handed them to Xu Qing.
"One is concealment, the same as the concealment I drew for you before, and the other is a large-area teleportation talisman, which you can use to avoid danger at critical moments."
"The last one contains a wisp of my divine thought, which can resist the fatal blow for you."
Xu Qing's heart rose in waves, and after silently taking it, he also took out some Ten Intestine Tree Dao Fruits and handed them over, after all, this thing has miraculous effects in refining tools and alchemy, and the material richness of the Sword Holding Palace is not urgently needed, but for the Eight Sects Alliance, these Dao fruits are not small.
Zixuan was also moved when he saw it, he did not be polite to Xu Qing, and after putting it away, he gave some advice, until an hour later, as all the divisions were sorted out, under Xu Qing's watch, the Eight Sects Alliance left in divisions.
Before leaving, Zixuan looked back at Xu Qing many times, and the two looked at each other until they were next to the teleportation array, and they took one last look at each other, and as the light dispersed, Zixuan and the disciples of the sect disappeared.
Li Shitao was obviously preoccupied, and after Zixuan left, she nodded to Xu Qing and hurriedly left.
Looking at the empty teleportation array, Xu Qing's expression slowly became dull and dull, this feeling he was once familiar with, as if he had returned to the time when he was alone in the slums.
"It's time to go to the Sword Palace to report." Xu Qing muttered, and when he turned to leave, the light of dusk fell on his Taoist robe, glowing with blood, and his figure was stretched very long.
As dusk passed, the moment the night fell, Xu Qing came to the Sword Holding Palace.
When he appeared, Kong Xianglong, who received his message, flew from the Sword Holding Palace at full speed, and when he saw Xu Qing for the first time as he approached, his eyes showed surprise.
Obviously, the change in Xu Qing's cultivation was noticed by Kong Xianglong, after all, compared with when he left before, Xu Qing's changes were too great, and even made Kong Xianglong feel like he was facing a primordial infant.
If it had been at another time, Kong Xianglong would have asked curiously, but now that the drastic changes in the county capital made him not in this mood, he spoke in a low voice when he approached.
"Xu Qing, there was just a message from the border, the power of the forbidden magic weapon could not completely stop the army of the Holy Lan Clan, but only slightly slowed down their pace."
"Let's go, the sword bearers are returning one after another, and tonight the palace mainly arranges battle plans for all the county sword bearers."
"Now...... You are the real accompanying book." Kong Xianglong stared at Xu Qing and said softly.
Xu Qing nodded calmly, he knew very well that within the identity of a pawn, his original position was the entourage of the palace master.
The fact is indeed as Kong Xianglong said, not long after Xu Qing stepped into the Sword Holding Palace, he received a call from the palace master.
In the depths of the Sword Holding Palace, in the Sword Holding Hall, Xu Qing, who arrived immediately without any delay, saw the Lord of the Sword Holding Palace standing in front of a huge map of light and shadow, with bloodshot eyes and an extremely serious expression.
The palace lord's body had some blood, and the fatigue on his body was also very strong, obviously from the drastic changes in the county capital until now, he has not rested at all.
There were seven or eight sword bearers around him, the four deacons and the deputy palace master were all there, each with varying degrees of injuries, the most serious being the two deputy palace masters.
This is the trauma they suffered yesterday when they suppressed the gods of the prison with the palace master, and now they have no time to recover, and they are accepting the dispatch and arrangement of the palace master.
Following the instructions of the palace master, the four deacons and the two deputy palace masters all looked solemn and said yes, and left one after another.
Until after a while, after there was no one else in the hall, the palace master's eyes withdrew from the light and shadow map, turned around and looked at Xu Qing with a stern expression.
"Xu Qing, the sword bearer, is here to report." Xu Qing looked solemn and bowed with his fists.
"Xu Qing, is there any problem in sorting out the list of returning sword bearers, finding out the people who have not returned, finding out the reason, and arranging the meeting at midnight tonight?"
The palace master spoke in a deep voice.
"Respect the will of the law." Xu Qing said solemnly.
The palace lord nodded, ignoring Xu Qing, he had too many things to deal with, and now the internal and external troubles of Fenghai County, all the burdens were all on him at the moment when the county governor fell.
Xu Qing knew the measure, bowed and left, and after walking out of the hall, he took out the command sword and began to get busy according to the palace master's instructions.
The identity of the accompanying book order, at this moment, he has the right to query any records, and all sword bearers must cooperate, but his strength alone is a little insufficient, so after pondering, Xu Qing transmitted the voice to Kong Xianglong.
Soon Kong Xianglong Shanhezi, Wang Chen and Ye Ling all came to Xu Qing, and with their cooperation, Xu Qing quickly sorted out the list of participants and the reason why the palace master wanted not to return.
Finally, an hour before the meeting, the meeting was set and the venue was prepared, and all the sword bearers were notified with their own authority.
"By the order of the palace master, inform all the sword bearers that tonight, the first square of the East District of the Sword Holding Palace, participate in the meeting!" Xu Qing's voice echoed in the swords of all the sword bearers at this moment.
This is the first time that he has truly made a voice as an accompanying bookkeeper.
Soon, the hour of midnight was approaching.
At this moment, nearly 100,000 sword bearers were standing there, densely packed at the same time, in an orderly manner, and a line of long lines was arranged according to their cultivation level.
No one spoke, only the intention of killing rose in everyone's heart, and most of their eyes contained anger and persistence.
The death of the county governor, the collapse of the prison department, and the arrival of war, these series of things will not make the sword bearers fearful, but will only make them more willing to kill.
At this moment, the aura converged and filled all directions, and under this traction, a vortex appeared in the sky, rumbling and turning.
When the momentum was amazing, the four deacons and the deputy palace masters descended one after another, and finally appeared in front of all the sword bearers was the palace master with a serious expression and not angry and self-righteous.
And Xu Qing followed behind the palace master.
As the eyes of all the sword bearers converged, Xu Qing's figure also came into everyone's eyes, he was expressionless, paused three feet away from the palace master, and stood there silently, looking at the palace master.
The palace master's gaze swept over the people below, and after a while, a low voice echoed in all directions.
"Sword bearers, war has arrived."
"The Shenglan Clan's ambition for our human race to seal the sea county has not stopped at all for countless years, and the war launched is not the first time now, but without exception, they have all failed!"
"In the last millennium, I and the deceased county magistrates, including all the rulers, have long been prepared to face this battle."
"Even though the first enemy army of the Holy Lan Clan, composed of the Red Spirit Dynasty and the Moonlight Dynasty, has entered Fenghai County, I am full of confidence."
"If everyone is loyal to their duties, does not make any mistakes, and everything is arranged carefully, we can prove that we can also protect Fenghai County, win the storm of war, and survive the threat of Shenglan, just like the martyrs of Fenghai County in the past."
"And with the assistance of the Zhixing Palace, the three hundred and seventy-nine allied clans, including the Holy Demon Clan, will also participate in this war, and the Jinxian Clan also chose to block the ancestral land of the entire clan without going out even half a step under my personal communication this morning."
"So in this war, we are actually not vulnerable." The palace master spoke calmly, without any passionate tone, but slowly speaking.
"But there are also some things you need to know."
"Today, in the imperial domain of my clan, which is extremely far away from Fenghai County, two things happened."
"First, the new county governor and reinforcements appointed by the human emperor were supposed to arrive tomorrow in the form of domain teleportation, but they were intercepted by the Black Sky Clan on the road at noon today, and their life and death are unknown."
"Second, the Black Sky Clan's army is approaching the Human Imperial Domain, and the wind and rain are coming, so in a short period of time, Fenghai County needs to face the invasion of foreign enemies on its own."
"So, this could be a protracted battle."
"So, this may be a lone battle."
"In any case, this is the situation we have to face, but it does not affect our determination to defend it to the death, because we have no way back."
"The thirteen states have been occupied by the Shenglan clan army at this moment, but the power of the forbidden magic weapon of Fenghai County has been fully opened to block it, forming a stalemate and buying some time."
"During this time, we have to solve several problems."
"The ban on corpses and the ban on clothes, the chaos in the two places, and the dispersion of the power of some states, this is the purpose of the Shenglan clan."
"The collapse of the Criminal Prison Department and the escape of prisoners will definitely cause chaos in Sea County, causing us to have internal and external troubles, which is also the purpose of the Shenglan Clan."
The sound of heavy breathing came from the mouths of a hundred thousand sword bearers, and the words of the palace master made everyone, including Xu Qing, truly realize the danger of Fenghai County like a raging storm now.
But the calmness of the palace master's voice was like Dinghai's divine needle, which slowly calmed everyone's hearts again, and only the slaughter and determination continued to rise.
Looking at everyone, the palace master's voice paused for a moment and spoke calmly.
"Don't be afraid, the sky is falling, I'll take care of it!"
