Qin Mu returned to the inn and continued to study Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures. Unknowingly, it was already late at night and he had already learned over ten spells. However, without the corresponding technique, he could only unleash half of the power of these spells.
"I have to find Unity Technique otherwise it would be hard to unleash the full power of Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures."
Just as he was engrossed in reading, he suddenly felt a warmth around his waist as if something was nudging him. Lowering his head to take a look, he saw the little white fox sleeping beside him and rubbing her head against him in her sleep.
Qin Mu gave a smile and carefully placed the little demon fox on the bed, letting her rest on the pillow to sleep. He then returned to the table and continued to comprehend Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.
After some time, he also started to feel sleepy and extinguished the lamp. Lying on the bed, he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Feng Xiuyun came to send Qin Mu onto the ship and said, "Young master, I can only send you up to here. Follow the river and you will be able to enter Yankang. Young master, be careful and reach the capital city of Yankang as soon as possible. Patriarch is already waiting there. "
Qin Mu nodded and waved his hand to bid farewell.
In front of the fleet, on top of the tall harbor, there were soldiers stirring the capstan and pulling up the huge iron gate. The merchant ships slowly started to move and were sent away from Secret Waters Pass by the current, following the Surging River.
Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er stood at the bow of the ship and looked around. They saw that the scenery on both sides of the Surging River was gradually different from Great Ruins. There were some rich villages hidden in the forest, unlike Great Ruins which only had straw houses.
The number of ships on the river gradually increased. Most of them were ships carrying ore and goods and had a deep draft. There were also some mines on the riverbank where numerous slave miners were mining.
"How many of them are abandoned people of Great Ruins?" Qin Mu retracted his gaze.
After another hundred miles, there were smelting factories on the riverbank. Huge furnaces were refining ores and numerous ships were docked there to unload the ores.
Flames that were dozens of yards high came out from the furnaces and the fire was fierce. When the small ship passed by, Qin Mu saw over a dozen divine arts practitioners blowing wind and executing spells to make the fire even fiercer and raise the temperature.
There were also some divine arts practitioners who were using spells to guide the river water to cool down the refined black iron and red copper.
There were also some divine arts practitioners who used the qi of the white tiger to execute divine arts and cut black iron and red copper into neat cubes so that they could be stacked up and loaded onto the ship.
This scene was difficult to see in the Great Ruins.
"In terms of manpower, material, and financial resources, Yankang is far superior to Chao Xu," Qin Mu praised.
From small details, one could see how prosperous and powerful a country was. The smelting factory beside the Surging River was close to a water source and had convenient transportation. It was able to provide an endless supply of materials for the empire to refine spirit weapons and upgrade the equipment of the army. One could well imagine the extent of the military power of the Yankang Kingdom.
"Feng Xiuyun said that some sects took advantage of the Yankang National Preceptor's defeat in Great Ruins to assassinate the Yankang National Preceptor on the way, causing the Yankang National Preceptor to be heavily injured and start a rebellion."
Qin Mu thought to himself, "Even though the Yankang National Preceptor had suffered a loss at the border of Great Ruins, the vitality of the army wasn't damaged and their overall battle power was still there. He had as many strong practitioners around him as there were clouds and he was the number one man under gods so how could he be heavily injured by an assassination? There is something fishy about this and if I don't see it clearly, I'm afraid these rebellious sects will all die without a burial ground. "
The ships of the caravan were pulled by huge beasts in the water so their speed was extremely fast and they arrived at Dyke River County in the evening.
Dyke River County was built along the river and was much bigger than Border Dragon City. Qin Mu opened his Heaven's Eyes to look around and didn't find any god statues with majestic auras. He felt slightly uneasy and suddenly came to a realization. He mocked himself, "I still thought I was in Great Ruins …"
He had lived in Great Ruins since he was young and finding a place to stay under the protection of the god statues before night fell had already become his instinct. This kind of habit would probably be hard to change in a short period of time.
In front of Dyke River County, the caravan suddenly stopped and saw fishing boats moving in front of them. Some fishermen were using hooks to fish out floating corpses.
"How unlucky." A merchant shook his head.
Qin Mu brought Hu Ling 'er and followed the caravan into the city. Just as they entered the city, they saw coffins placed on both sides of the street. There were a lot of coffins and there were about four to five hundred of them.
Qin Mu jumped in shock. Some of the coffins had yet to be placed in the coffins and there were even soldiers carrying corpses to place in the coffins. Some of the coffins were already covered and the residents of the city all hid far away, not daring to come close.
"What's happening here? Why did so many people die all of a sudden? "
Qin Mu was bewildered and a merchant came forward to inquire. A soldier said, "They are floating corpses that were washed over by the river. We don't know where they came from. I reckon they were drowned by the flood from upstream and washed over to our Dyke River County. The county magistrate said if these corpses were to pile up, there would be a plague so he got us to make some thin skin coffins and place them in. We will bury them tomorrow. "
"So I see."
All the merchants drove their carriages away and found inns to rest. Qin Mu also found an inn to rest. After dinner, Qin Mu took out the geographical map of Yankang to have a look.
Dyke River County was in the center of Yankang and if one headed north, they would reach the capital city in about ten days. If they continued to head east, they would be able to see the sea in about three thousand miles.
The sky had already darkened and the night was getting darker and darker. Qin Mu put down the map and looked out of the window. The darkness here was different from the darkness in Great Ruins. The night in Yankang Kingdom would turn dark bit by bit but there would still be moonlight and starlight in the sky. However, when it was night in Great Ruins, darkness would come from the west and cover the entire sky, shrouding everything. There was no light in the darkness.
He carefully stretched his hand out of the window and there was no danger in the darkness outside.
"What exactly has happened in Great Ruins? Why is there such a weird thing like darkness invading? "
