276 The County Governor’s Manor
In a quiet secret room, Qin Huai sat cross-legged beside the dragon corpse.
The time he could control the dragon corpse had already increased to an impressive half-incense stick’s duration. Moreover, he could perform all kinds of difficult movements with it.
Suddenly, Qin Huai’s figure became blurry. Hazy air currents surrounded his body, pulling as if they wanted to strip his soul and physical body out.
Qin Huai frowned slightly. He was immersed in his dantian world, sensing the ancient illusionary force that burst out from the bronze wall soil. He seemed to have comprehended something.
“The ancient azure illusion force can transform into demonic beasts, so it might be able to transform me as well?” Qin Huai tried hard, but in the end, all attempts ended in failure.
“What a pity. My current ancient azure illusion force is too weak, only at 72%, far from the level of the patterned bone. Moreover, I don’t have the corresponding cultivation method for it,” Qin Huai felt regretful.
He believed that once he pushed the ancient azure illusion force to 100%, he would definitely obtain a decent skill. But for now, he decided to go into closed-door cultivation with all his might, preparing to pull the white dragon’s momentum to the limit.
The final battle that could decide the life and death of the Nine Dragons sect could come at any time.
…
County governor manor.
The deep hall was majestic, with even dragon and phoenix carvings on the stone pillars and rockery. It was said that a few years ago, this was the Great You emperor’s temporary residence in Lingjiang county.
However, it had already become the county governor ‘s residence. After living there for several years, his position was still intact.
A man in a black robe with a flood dragon embroidered on it sat upright in the main hall. The cold and stern aura made the hall solemn.
In front of him, kneeling on the ground was a row of somber-looking armored guards.
“Is everything ready?” Feng Xigu asked slowly.
“The personal guards and guards in the city have been fully equipped. We only need to wait for Milord’s order to attack the Nine Dragons sect!” the guard beside him said in a deep voice.
“How’s the situation at the Twin Extreme sect?” Feng Xigu asked.
“The disciples of the Twin Extreme sect have already retreated into the mountains. They’re probably planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.”
“Not necessarily,” Feng Xigu said slowly. “The Twin Extreme sect will send troops to help during the battle at Niu Mountain. It’s also possible this time. Don’t forget that Reihom and Qin Huai are known as the Twin Heroes of Pingnan. The relationship between the two of them is probably very close.”
Feng Xigu pondered for a moment. “Send someone to keep an eye on them. Send out a team of soldiers. If anything happens, try to stop them. How’s the news from the Sacred Heart sect?”
“The Sacred Heart sect is very willing to help us destroy the Nine Dragons sect. When the time comes, we’ll climb that sect from the left and right”
Before Feng Xigu’s eyes, one by one, the personal guards vanished. Finally, after the last person disappeared, his eyes grew colder in the silence.
“Qin Huai For killing my son, this old man will definitely tear you into pieces!”
Although he had not found any direct evidence of Qin Huai having killed someone, they still discovered some poisonous powder in the huge slums. He had used poison to destroy the corpse so thoroughly that only this new Nine Dragons Gate Master, who was famous for his poison skills, could have done it.
“The day Song Ya returns will be the day you die!”
…
In the Sacred Heart sect, Ji Yuan hummed a little tune, exceptionally happy. “These mortals are like this. You don’t even need to deliberately sow discord between them. They will fight on their own.”
Ji Yuan held a delicate arm in his hand and continuously brought it to his mouth. “I told you we don’t need to plan ahead to take down Lingjiang. If we had come a month or two later, perhaps the three major forces would have already turned the world upside down. We’ll just pick the peaches.”
Ji Yuan talked non-stop and was extremely excited.
“Have we seen many of these things from time to time in the Xigong Province when we followed our lord? We have only just arrived at the city, and it is already covered in blood and corpses. Those self-proclaimed righteous people of the Great Nether have thrown all the blame on us. What a great injustice,” Ji Yuan’s face was bitter, but he was smiling. “The ones who kill the most are the mortals themselves. My Sacred Heart sect is here to save all living beings. Everyone is equal.”
Crack!
He sent half of the body in his hand into his stomach. He whimpered and continued, “Look, for example, this disciple I’m eating. I can eat him, and he can eat me if he’s strong. We don’t have any complaints.” His face was full of sincerity, without any falsehood.
“Stop eating. I’ve already eaten more than ten disciples these past few days,” Zou Shuang frowned. “Look at your stomach. The mutation is getting more and more serious.”
“What are you afraid of? If it succeeds, it will be the Lord’s pity. If it dies, I will return this body of flesh and blood to the Lord,” Ji Yuan Wuji was carefree.
Zou Shuang’s furrowed brows never relaxed.
Suddenly, a black pigeon streaked across the sky. Zou Shuang raised his finger, and blood spurted out from his fingertip.
Whoosh!
The black pigeon was instantly shot through, and the bloodline was like a long tongue that wrapped around the pigeon. He then removed the letter from the pigeon’s leg.
“Tonight, you and I will invite the sacred blood… The day of the destruction of the Nine Dragons sect is just around the corner,” Zou Shuang said in a cold voice.
“When the time comes, I want to eat half of Qin Huai’s meat!” A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Ji Yuan’s face.
