In the county yamen, a heavy voice sounded out as he sneered, "Yankang National Preceptor holds the Son of Heaven to order all the sects, all the big sects have suffered for a long time! Dyke River County Magistrate Gao Jude acted as an accomplice to a villain and willingly became the eyes and ears of Yankang National Preceptor, he deserved to die! "
In the inn, Qin Mu frowned, "Dyke River County Magistrate died so quickly? This is the first time I left Great Ruins and I met with such a situation, what an injustice! Granny was right, the people outside are indeed much more ferocious than Great Ruins. The people of Great Ruins are still the purer ones. Come to think of it, what rank is Dyke River County Magistrate and how is his ability compared to a lower second ranking magistrate? "
The official positions in Eternal Peace Empire were divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks. These official positions were all based on status and cultivation. The sect masters or sect masters of some sects had extremely high cultivations and were conferred as high officials. Some of them had lower cultivations and were conferred as feudal vassals. There were also some who were in charge of various counties.
For example, Mu Beifeng of Li River Sword Sect was one of the top strong practitioners in the southern borders. Therefore, he was conferred as a lower second ranking magistrate and was extremely powerful.
Hu Ling'er came back to her senses and immediately executed her spell, causing a demon wind to swirl out of the window. Qin Mu raised his hand to pull the pillow down and threw it into the air. As the demon wind blew against the pillow, Hu Ling'er immediately leaped onto the pillow and asked in bewilderment, "Young master, if they want to rebel, they wouldn't kill all the commoners in the city right? They shouldn't be a threat to us. "
Qin Mu jumped out of the window and before he landed on the ground, a demon wind blew under his feet. The youth immediately stepped on the demon wind and sprinted out of the city while saying rapidly, "My sword is Junior Protector Sword, the sword of a lower first ranking official of the imperial court. If we were to be discovered by these rebels, we would definitely die! Furthermore, a gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. If these people are rebelling, they will definitely not allow the commoners in the city to leave. If we stay, we will only be trapped in the city. When the army of Yankang Kingdom arrives, how many people will be left alive in the city? Corpse Immortal Cult seems to use corpses to cultivate. "
Hu Ling'er couldn't help shuddering.
The last sentence of Qin Mu was simply too terrifying.
The Corpse Immortal Cult used corpses to cultivate. In other words, if the army of the Yankang Kingdom came to quell the rebellion, the people in the city, regardless of their status, would be refined into flying zombies by the Corpse Immortal Cult!
At this moment, Dyke River County was already in a mess. There were shouts of killing everywhere. Corpse Immortal Cult had come prepared this time. They had first thrown down the flying zombies they had refined upstream of Surging River to block the dam of Dyke River County. They had then split up and infiltrated the city.
When night fell, the cult master of Corpse Immortal Cult controlled the corpse and killed the county magistrate.
The county magistrate of Dyke River County might be an expert with extraordinary sacred arts, but under the sneak attack, he could only die.
At the same time, the other experts of Corpse Immortal Cult rushed to the four city gates to intercept and kill the soldiers in the county city. The cult master of Corpse Immortal Cult led the others to kill the county deputy, county lieutenant, registrar and other officials, leaving the soldiers without a leader.
Even though there were still experts in Dyke River County, there was no one to command them and they were all fighting on their own. Corpse Immortal Cult, on the other hand, had used the yellow joss paper to form a formation, creating roads that extended in all directions in the sky. They could provide support to each other from all directions. Corpse Immortal Cult would definitely win this massacre!
"Cult master has orders to lock down the entire city, no one is allowed to escape!" Shouts came from the city.
Qin Mu saw the opportunity early and Hu Ling'er executed the demon wind while he stepped on the wind. Just as the human and the fox were about to fly out of the county deputy, the hum of a sword rang out. Qin Mu didn't even turn his head back as the fish dragon spat out its sword and Junior Protector Sword stabbed behind him!
Ding! A crisp sound rang out and the flying sword that was stabbing from the back of Qin Mu was split open from the middle. Junior Protector Sword's momentum didn't decrease as it faced the vital qi strands of the flying sword and stabbed into the chest of that person, nailing the black-clothed Daoist who was stepping on the yellow joss paper to the flagpole!
That disciple of Corpse Immortal Cult had launched a sneak attack from his back. He had learned from Blind to determine the position of the person by listening to the wind since he was young. The direction of the sword and the position of the person couldn't escape his ears.
That person had tried to kill him and Qin Mu had retaliated. Sensing each other's qi, Junior Protector Sword had stabbed the opponent. This was almost a conditioned reflex, a habit that he had cultivated since he was young.
The demon wind brought the human and the fox out of the city and a voice could be heard, "Senior Brother He Yin, someone has escaped from the city and even killed little junior brother!"
"Little junior brother?"
An astonished and angry voice came from the city, "How are you guys eating? How can you let little junior brother personally take the risk? How am I going to explain this to cult master? You guys guard the city, I'll go kill him! "
Qin Mu paused and the demon wind instantly shattered. Hu Ling'er threw away the pillow and jumped onto the backpack on Qin Mu's back before tunneling into the backpack.
"Little junior brother? Could he be the son of the cult master of Corpse Immortal Cult? "
Qin Mu landed on the ground and immediately sprinted away while thinking to himself, "He could also be an ordinary disciple …"
Even though Hu Ling'er's demon wind was convenient, its speed couldn't be compared to Qin Mu's running speed. Furthermore, it was hard to hide one's tracks in the sky but when running on the ground, one could use the forest to hide one's body, making it hard for the enemy to catch up.
Suddenly, balls of fire rose up and transformed into fire birds flying in the sky, illuminating the sky in a snow-white color. That was a divine art executed by a divine arts practitioner.
Qin Mu raised his head and saw the fire birds flying in the sky. Behind the fire birds were pieces of yellow joss papers flying over and spreading out in the sky.
These yellow joss papers were rectangular pieces of paper and were about the size of a human's foot. A human could walk on them.
"Heaven's Eyes, awaken!"
Vital qi formation markings swirled in Qin Mu's eyes as he awakened Heaven's Eyes. Turning his head back to take a look, he saw flying zombies stepping on the flying yellow joss papers and jumping around in the sky.
The yellow joss papers split into two rows and the flying zombies also split into two rows. More and more yellow joss papers appeared in the sky and split into four rows. The flying zombies also split into four rows and searched in all directions. Behind the yellow joss papers, a young Daoist carried a long sword case on his back. The case opened up and pieces of yellow joss papers flew out and spread out in the sky in front of him. He must be the Senior Brother He Yin that the disciples of Corpse Immortal Cult had mentioned.
His feet stepped on the yellow joss papers as he walked in the sky. Every time he lifted his foot, the yellow joss papers would automatically fly up and land back into the sword case. In the meantime, new yellow joss papers would fly out from the sword case and appear in front of him, bearing the weight of his footsteps.
The reason why every piece of yellow joss paper had to return to the sword case should be that after the yellow joss paper was used once, the vital qi in it would be exhausted and needed to return to the sword case to replenish its vital qi.
He walked forward and his speed wasn't slow.
