664 Xu Qing Represents the Palace Master! (2)
As she spoke, she spat out a mouthful of black blood. Her body was clearly rotting. Although she suppressed it with all her might, she couldn’t suppress it completely.
The miserable outcomes of those who were poisoned caused her to be terrified and she had the thought of retreating.
“Interesting.” The black-winged nonhuman coldly glanced at Xu Qing.
He noticed that the magic artifacts on Mount Morning Glow had locked onto him and also saw the rogue cultivators scattering like startled birds. He knew that the situation was hopeless.
In addition, Xu Qing gave him an extremely strange feeling. He sensed that Xu Qing’s body wasn’t simple and the cultivator who was being used as a weapon by him also gave him a bad feeling.
There was also the human-shaped mountain in the sky. The deterrence of this mountain was too strong, causing him to feel wary.
The mosasaur that was staring fixedly at him amidst the clouds also looked like a difficult opponent. In the end, his gaze swept across the poison mist that filled the air below and his pupils constricted slightly.
“His methods are so strange… That morning glow is also very difficult to deal with. Before the situation in the northern and western battlefield is confirmed, those nonhuman races only dare to hide in the dark and subside. A group of rats who don’t dare to show their faces. Now…”
The black-winged nonhuman was becoming extremely wary. Hence, after casting a gloomy glance at Xu Qing, he grabbed the middle-aged woman who was on the verge of collapse and flew away.
His departure ended this siege of Mount Morning Glow.
Xu Qing didn’t chase after the black-winged nonhuman. He held Ning Yan and eliminated the scattered cultivators. His speed was very fast and his attacks were very ruthless. Gradually, blood flowed like a river and the screams became fewer and fewer.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor and the shadow also spread out to pursue. The mosasaur sank and breathed out.
Only after killing all the enemies that were in his sight did Xu Qing withdraw everything. He then removed the morning glow that protected the dozens of Swordholders.
These Sword Holders’ injuries weren’t light but their eyes were filled with shock, excitement, and disbelief. They looked at Xu Qing with reverence and fanaticism, and greeted him.
“Greetings, Edict Bearer Xu!”
The old man, Sun Hai, quickly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Xu Qing.
“Greetings, Edict Bearer Xu!”
Previously, through the commotion of those criminals, they had already confirmed Xu Qing’s identity. They remembered Xu Qing because he had issued many decrees of the Palace Master to the entire Fenghai County recently.
His name had already spread throughout Fenghai County’s Sword Holding Courts
As for the position of the edict bearer, it was naturally higher than ordinary Sword Holders. Hence, there was nothing wrong with Sun Hai greeting respectfully.
Among ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, the cultivation of five nascent souls was already close to the peak. In fact, they were the absolute backbone of any sect or faction.
After all, compared to the outstanding heaven’s chosens, the number of ordinary cultivators who advanced with three life fires and six palaces was the greatest. After they advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, their limit was six nascent souls. Hence, anyone with five nascent souls couldn’t be underestimated.
Xu Qing not only killed two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but he also made the Nascent Soul cultivator with five nascent souls choose to retreat. Such combat strength was even more shocking when displayed by a Golden Core cultivator.
If Xu Qing hadn’t come to Mount Morning Glow to investigate, it would probably have collapsed at this moment. This matter seemed to be a coincidence but in reality, there were already many similar incidents happening throughout Fenghai County.
“We aren’t well-informed here. I only know that after the northern and western battlefield entered a precarious situation, some races with ulterior motives subsidized a large number of rogue cultivators and gave array breaking formations to invade Sword Holding Courts of three provinces. Fortunately, the human sects who went out to fight weren’t implicated.”
Sun Hai spoke bitterly.
“The actual number is probably even more serious. However, they only dare to hide in the dark. As long as our human race is able to succeed in defending the northern and western battlefield, they won’t dare to openly attack the Sword Holding Courts. It’s not difficult to guess their motive. This is a pledge of allegiance to the Holy Wave Race after we lose the war.”
“I only hope that after our human race survives this calamity, we will kill all these nonhuman races with ulterior motives!”
Xu Qing remained silent. It was now the break of dawn, and the darkness was being dispelled by the rising sun in the distance. The dark night was dispersed by the rising sun in the distance. Sunlight poured down on Mount Morning Glow, making it shine with a radiant glow.
Xu Qing stared at Mount Morning Glow. Although this place was a mess due to the battle, its rainbow light made everything look beautiful.
“Everything will be fine.” Xu Qing, who was illuminated by the rainbow-colored light, spoke softly under the sunlight.
Three days later, after the array formation was repaired and reactivated, Xu Qing left Mount Morning Glow. When he came, he was alone. When he returned, Ning Yan followed him.
The reason why he left so quickly wasn’t only because he had already investigated the clues he needed but more importantly… he received the Palace Master’s decree on the third day.
“Xu Qing, regardless of whether there are any results from the investigation, put it aside for now. Hurry up and return to the county capital!”
“The northern and western battlefronts are in danger. We need troops and supplies. I can’t return from the frontlines, so I’ll give you the right to handle this matter on my behalf and cooperate with the Deputy Governor.”
