"Perfected Cultivator, out of the 108 counties in Zhenjiang Prefecture, 97 counties have sent us spiritual messages.
The content of the messages is the same. They have all been attacked by the Corpse Puppets and are asking us to send cultivators to quell the chaos! "
A cultivator reported the current situation to the crowd in an antique and spacious hall.
There were dozens of cultivators gathered in the hall, all of them looking extremely solemn.
The cultivators present were all the higher-ups of Zhenjiang Prefecture.
The Prefecture Lord of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Perfected Cultivator Yuanming, Lin Lang, sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression.
"After receiving the spiritual messages, I immediately sent people to contact the remaining 11 counties that have yet to send out a request for reinforcements to inquire about the situation.
Apart from Origin Mountain City, which had replied that everything was fine, the other ten counties had yet to give any reply.
It's obvious that these 10 counties are not unaffected by the Corpse Puppets, but that their situation is so bad that they can't send us a request for reinforcements! "
The originally heavy atmosphere became even heavier.
"Isn't this a little too much? They're actually attacking so many counties at the same time!" Someone sucked in a breath of cold air and felt extremely shocked.
"Now is not the time to lament about this!
Perfected Cultivator, we can't delay any longer. Every moment we delay, countless lives will be lost!
We should immediately send cultivators to provide reinforcements, "a cultivator stood out and said.
Lin Lang nodded and said decisively, "That's right. The matter of reinforcements cannot be delayed!
Perfected Cultivator Seven Kills, you will lead the Zhenjiang Army and provide reinforcements to all the counties other than Origin Mountain City! "
"Yes!" Perfected Cultivator Seven Kills, who was in charge of the Zhenjiang Army, replied.
"Perfected Cultivator Tie Guan, immediately send a spiritual message to the prefectures in Qingzhou and inform them of our situation. Ask them to send reinforcements to Zhenjiang City," Lin Lang ordered.
The black-robed Golden Elixir Daoist, Perfected Cultivator Tie Guan, quickly accepted the order.
"For the rest of you, stop your cultivation for a while and focus on Zhenjiang City. Patrol the city continuously and pay attention to any abnormalities in the city!" Lin Lang's tone was stern.
"Yes, Master!" The remaining cultivators replied in unison.
Out of the one hundred and eight counties, only Origin Mountain City remained unscathed.
Who else but Hades could be the mastermind behind this Corpse Bug Rebellion?
The Hades faction in Origin Mountain City had been wiped out by Zhishou Tower not long ago. That was how they managed to avoid the chaos that involved all the counties in Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Qi Yuan had told him earlier that there would be great chaos in Zhenjiang.
Now, half of the prophecy had come true.
Zhenjiang City was the capital city of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Although it was still peaceful at the moment, there was no reason for it to escape from this chaos.
In fact, the more peaceful Zhenjiang was now, the more terrifying the turmoil that was brewing would be.
Although the Zhenjiang Army was strong and well-trained, in order to reinforce the prefectural city, it inevitably fell into a predicament of internal emptiness.
In fact, under these circumstances, Lin Lang shouldn't have transferred the main force of River Suppression City away.
However, the county city under his command was being massacred by Corpse Puppets, and he really had no choice but to bide his time.
This was Hades's overt plot.
He could either bide his time and let the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture be plunged into misery and suffering.
Or he could take the risk of Zhenjiang City's emptiness being taken advantage of and send cultivators out of the city to quell the Corpse Bug Rebellion.
As the master of Zhenjiang Prefecture, he governed the entire prefecture. It was obvious what choice he had to make.
Even though they knew that Hades was most likely luring them away, they could only brace themselves and go along with the enemy's plan.
They could only hope that the reinforcements from the other prefectures would arrive as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Lin Lang sent out two more spiritual messages.
They were sent to River Suppression Tower and Tianji Tower, where Qi Yuan was.
…
River Suppression Tower.
In a secret cultivation room specially built for Sword Cultivators.
It would take another five days to gather intelligence at the Sticky Rod Station, and the group of Zhishou Tower cultivators couldn't just wait there and do nothing.
River Suppression Tower was well-equipped for each cultivator's cultivation.
Since everyone had nothing to do, they all entered the secret cultivation rooms to practice their spells.
The secret cultivation rooms for Sword Cultivators were extremely spacious. There were many low-level puppets that were constantly moving around.
These were puppets specially prepared for Sword Cultivators to practice their Flying Sword.
Lu Qingshan focused his mind and controlled the Weeping Soul Sword to shuttle back and forth among these constantly moving puppets.
He passed through ten thousand flowers, but not a single leaf touched him.
When the magic power on the Weeping Soul Sword was close to exhaustion, he recalled the Weeping Soul Sword and attacked again.
He repeated this hundreds of times, thousands of times, until his spiritual power and divine sense were exhausted.
This long and boring process was actually the correct way for Sword Cultivators to practice their Flying Sword.
It wasn't just the Flying Sword. Through countless practice, improving one's skills was a common cultivation method for all cultivators who wanted to increase the power of their spells.
Lu Qingshan's ability to increase the level of his skills through experience was like being enlightened. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
In this kind of situation where he had a mission at any time, Lu Qingshan naturally couldn't exhaust his spiritual power and divine sense to practice his Flying Sword Technique.
He only practiced for an hour. When more than half of the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, he stopped, somewhat unsatisfied.
Subconsciously, Lu Qingshan glanced at the skill bar.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be startled.
The Flying Sword Technique's experience bar that was originally stuck at level 3 increased by 1% after only an hour of practice.
If he remembered correctly, under normal circumstances, if a Sword Cultivator wanted to raise his Flying Sword Technique from level 3 to level 4, he would need to diligently practice for at least two to three years.
But according to his current progress, he only needed to take out four to six hours a day to practice his Flying Sword Technique.
In less than half a month, his Flying Sword Technique could be raised to the next level.
What's going on?
Lu Qingshan quickly reacted. His gaze fell on the [Innate Sword Seed] on the skill bar.
There were two lines of introduction that he didn't pay attention to before.
"With the Innate Sword Seed, your talent in the Way of the Sword far surpasses ordinary people!"
"As someone who was born with knowledge of the Way of the Sword!"
Is this a legendary talent?
Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
The obvious benefits of the Innate Sword Seed already made him feel endlessly satisfied.
But he didn't expect that the true strength of the legendary talent was reflected in these two insignificant lines of introduction.
He had already vaguely felt the hidden benefits of the [Innate Sword Seed] long ago.
Back in the Xuanming Valley, Dantai Qingrun hid the Autumn Sword in the clouds.
Under normal circumstances, as one of the rare Golden Elixir Daoist's strong cultivators, with Dantai Qingrun's methods, Lu Qingshan had no reason to discover the Autumn Sword.
Yet, he had discovered it.
He didn't rely on his Divine Sense or Spiritual Sense, but on his ability to sense and affinity with swords.
Within a certain distance, all swords couldn't escape his senses.
And now, Lu Qingshan discovered another great benefit from the [Innate Sword Seed].
Under the support of the legendary talent, he seemed to have become a true Sword Seed in the true sense.
His mastery of the Sword Technique had reached a terrifying level of rapid progress.
In other words, other than using experience to level up skills, just relying on his own cultivation to level up skills was also an effective method for him.
.....
Buzz buzz buzz —
Suddenly, there was a short and dense buzzing sound in the secret room.
Lu Qingshan, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, quickly got up. His Spiritual Power and Divine Sense had already recovered to the best state.
This sound was made by the device set up for the outside world to summon the cultivators in the secret room.
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
He must have found some useful information at Sticky Rod's place, which was why he was notified.
The efficiency was quite high. It was actually two days earlier than the estimated five days.
