My son is about to break through.

Wuzhou.

Nanyueshan brought his Sky Patrol Guards here.

Once you enter Wuzhou.

There was a hot breath blowing in my face.

I saw the ground cracking.

The trees are dry.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a terrifying temperature seemed to be descending.

See this scene.

Nanyueshan frowned.

"The drought in Wuzhou is indeed not simple!"

This kind of heat is unusual, and other people may not be able to notice it, but as a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm, Nanyueshan can naturally discover the clues.

at the same time.

The information collected by the Sky Patrol also appeared in Nanyueshan's hands.

"The drought in Wuzhou started from Shenhe County. Since it covers the entire Wuzhou, the problem must be in Shenhe County!"

"Someone, go to Shenhe County!"

Nanyueshan took only one look and made the decision immediately.

The four counties of Wuzhou.

Shenhe County is one of them.

Three days later.

Nanyueshan stepped into the county town and met Tao Heng, the governor of Shenhe County.

"I heard that Commander Nan is here in person. I'm sorry I failed to welcome him in person!"

The person who spoke was an elegant middle-aged man. He was Tao Heng, the current governor of Shenhe County.

Although the other party appears to be gentle and refined, he is actually a powerful person who has entered the realm of Grandmaster.

In this regard.

Nanyueshan also bowed politely: "Greetings, Master Tao!"

It is true that he is the commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, but the identity of Tao Heng in front of him is also not simple. Among the four counties of Wuzhou, the other party can be the governor of one county, and his identity and status are not comparable to ordinary officials.

Regarding positions.

Strictly speaking, the commander of Nanyue Mountain is one rank lower than Tao Heng.

after all--

In Wuzhou, the governor of a county is almost the king and takes orders directly from Gu Yang.

but.

Because of the special position of the Sky Patrol, Tao Heng could not underestimate Mount Nanyue.

The two men exchanged a few simple greetings and then went into the inner hall of the county magistrate's mansion and sat down.

As soon as I sat down.

Nanyueshan said straight to the point: "Sir Tao, there is a drought in Wuzhou now, and His Majesty ordered me to come and investigate the matter thoroughly."

"As far as I know, the drought in Wuzhou originated from Shenhe County. I wonder how much Lord Tao knows about this?"

Hearing this sentence.

The smile on Tao Heng's face faded a lot, and his expression became solemn.

"Master Nan, could it be that this natural disaster was man-made?"

"Whether it was man-made or not is debatable, but this natural disaster is different from previous ones. It is impossible to say that there are no other factors behind it!"

Nanyueshan shook his head slightly, looked at Tao Heng in front of him, and said seriously.

“After all, Lord Tao, don’t forget that before Your Majesty established the Nine Provinces, the world was in chaos at the end of the previous dynasty, with evil spirits and strange things everywhere, and there were many so-called natural and man-made disasters.

Although Your Majesty later established the Nine Provinces and used the country's sacred artifacts to suppress evil spirits and clean up the world, there may still be some evil spirits lurking in the dark, trying to cause trouble."

Hear the words.

Tao Heng fell silent.

He understands.

What Nanyueshan said is not false.

The evil spirits in Jiuzhou mysteriously disappeared, and it has been less than ten years at most.

The chaos at the end of the previous dynasty is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"If what Lord Nan said is true, then the evil behind this natural disaster is probably not simple!"

Tao Heng looked serious with a frown on his face.

The nation's sacred artifact suppresses the Nine Provinces. Under the Nine Cauldrons, evil spirits are scared away. Generally, evil spirits cannot survive, but correspondingly, if an evil spirit can survive, its strength must be extraordinary.

Only Nanyueshan looked calm: "It's not simple, so what? Lord Tao, you don't think that the world today is still the world of the previous dynasty, right?"

“Not to mention that your majesty has established the nine provinces, and a decree can change the celestial phenomena of a province. The imperial power is mighty, and there is also a person in the capital who single-handedly destroyed an ancient holy land.

Even if there is evil lurking, it is destined not to cause any trouble!"

This statement came out.

Tao Heng's expression also became relieved.

"In that case, I have been thinking too much!"

He almost forgot.

The current Shenwu Dynasty is not comparable to the original Taixuan Dynasty.

At present, cultivation is popular in Jiuzhou, and there are many powerful people. There are a large number of grandmasters. For example, the Nanyue Mountain in front of us is full of powerful people who are trying to reach the divine transformation realm.

Such existence.

If it were in the previous dynasty, he would be equivalent to a strong man in the spiritual realm, and would be considered the true number one in the world.

and.

Even as powerful as Mount Nanyue, it cannot be considered the best in Kyushu.

At the end of the Jiuzhou cultivators, there stands a supreme figure, that is the patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Qingfeng, known as the Sword Tyrant.

this.

He is the recognized strongest person in Kyushu.

With such a powerful person in charge, even if there are evil spirits causing trouble, I believe it will not cause any trouble.

Think of this.

Tao Heng didn't have much worries in his heart.

Subsequently.

He looked towards Nanyue Mountain and asked seriously, "Master Nan, what are you going to do next?"

"First, find out the source of the drought. If it is really caused by evil spirits, then destroy them!"

Nanyueshan's expression was resolute, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Naturally, he would not be merciful to such an evil spirit that was wreaking havoc on the world.

After all, he had experienced the chaos of the previous dynasty and witnessed the scenes of evil spirits eating people, so his hatred for evil spirits was naturally engraved in his bones.

"Master Nan has such an idea, and I naturally support it!"

Tao Heng nodded.

If Shenhe County is really the hiding place of evil, he naturally hopes to find it as soon as possible.

otherwise.

Once the evil spirit makes any unusual movement, it is bound to spread far and wide.

If this incident leads to turmoil in Shenhe County or casualties among the people, once the court holds him accountable, Tao Heng will have no chance of escaping even if he is the prefect of Shenhe County.

The court laws today are different from those of the previous dynasty.

The previous dynasty treated the people like livestock and ants. As long as it did not cause too much unrest, the other side would not care too much.

After all, they are all untouchables, so it doesn't matter how many of them die.

But the Shenwu Dynasty was different.

If someone really died, all government offices would conduct a thorough investigation. If there were many deaths, even the person in the court would be asked to personally investigate.

If the evil means were to take action, the number of people who would die would definitely not be just one or two.

and so.

Tao Heng naturally hopes to solve this problem as soon as possible.

……

What happens next is much simpler.

With Tao Heng's full cooperation, the Sky Patrol Guards and people from the County Magistrate's Office are searching the entire Shenhe County with all their might, hoping to find the source of the natural disaster.

While both parties were conducting a thorough investigation, the secret guards were also searching silently in secret.

If there is any news.

They were all passed to Gu Yang as soon as possible.

Ten days later.

Gu Yang was holding a court meeting when suddenly his expression changed. A divine light emanated from the jade seal in his hand and a resolute voice came out from it.

"The evil spirits in Shenhe County are now causing chaos, triggering natural disasters and making life miserable for the people. Tao Heng, the governor of Shenhe County, requests Your Majesty to borrow the county's luck to suppress the evil spirits!"

"allow!"

Gu Yang uttered a word.

In an instant.

The capital was shaken.

The shadow of the third-grade blue lotus appeared in the void, and the rolling torrent of luck gathered towards Wuzhou. At the same time.

Above Wuzhou.

An ancient bronze tripod suddenly appeared.

When the ancient tripod appeared, Nanyueshan, who was covered in blood, showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Wuzhou Ding!"

"Your Majesty has personally taken action to suppress the evil spirit!!"

Nanyue Mountain will naturally not forget the existence of the Nine Cauldrons.

At that time, the Nine Cauldrons illuminated the Nine Provinces and exterminated all the evil spirits in the world, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

just now.

The reappearance of Wuzhou Ding, one of the Nine Dings, naturally made Nanyue Mountain very happy.

now.

He was seen in a vast expanse of red land. Many patrol guards and imperial soldiers were killed on the spot, their blood drained out. Their deaths were extremely tragic.

Even Mount Nanyue was severely damaged in one encounter.

If he didn't have a precious protective treasure on him, he would have died on the spot.

Let’s look at Tao Heng again.

The other party was originally a grandmaster. Now he has mobilized the luck and power of the entire Shenhe County. His cultivation has been rising steadily. In an instant, he has broken through the barrier of the grandmaster and directly stepped into the realm of divine transformation.

and.

He broke through to the fifth level of the Divine Transformation Realm in one breath.

result.

Before Nanyueshan could feel overjoyed, he saw Tao Heng, who was so powerful that he was comparable to the fifth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, severely injuring the evil creature with a single blow.

Just as the evil spirit was about to kill Tao Heng, the Jiuzhou Ding descended with the power of the luck of a state, and suppressed the evil spirit.

"boom!"

A shocking wave of fluctuations broke out.

He was only two or three feet tall, naked, with eyes as long as the top of his head. His blue-brown arms were holding back the ancient bronze tripod. An extremely terrifying aura burst out, sweeping across heaven and earth.

This scene.

Nanyueshan and Tao Heng's faces turned gloomy, and there was even some horror in their eyes.

"What on earth is this thing? Even the Wuzhou Ding can't suppress it!"

Nanyueshan's face was full of disbelief.

One of the Nine Provinces Cauldrons, it is a national artifact that contains the terrifying luck of an entire province and can suppress even cultivators above the seventh level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

however.

Now Wuzhou Ding was completely unable to do anything about the evil spirit in front of him.

How could the existence of such strength not frighten Nanyue Mountain?

more importantly.

As the evil spirit threw a punch, the Wuzhou Ding shook violently, and cracks began to appear faintly on the bronze body of the Ding, as if it would break at any time.

"escape!"

"This evil spirit is invincible!!"

Tao Heng made a decision immediately and turned around and ran away without caring about the seriousness of his injuries.

See this.

Nanyueshan simply followed suit.

Although the Sky Patrol Guards patrol the sky on behalf of the gods, if any evil spirits appear in the world, they must suppress them with all their strength.

But this kind of thing also depends on the situation.

The evil spirit that appeared this time was completely beyond his ability to contend with. If he really stayed, let alone stopping the evil spirit, he would probably become its food in one encounter.

Don’t see you.

Taking advantage of the good fortune of Shenhe County, Tao Heng, whose cultivation was comparable to that of the fifth level of Shenbian Realm, was unable to withstand the opponent's move.

Even an object as powerful as the Wuzhou Ding was shattered by a single punch from him.

Nanyueshan understood deeply that he could not contend with such existence.

-

above the hall.

All officials were silent.

Everyone looked towards the third-grade Azure Lotus phantom, and they did not look away until the Azure Lotus phantom disappeared.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if the governor of Shenhe County has suppressed the evil spirit?"

A minister asked with a bow.

The words fell.

Gu Yang's face was gloomy, and he did not answer, but directly called someone over.

"Shi Zhen!"

"Chen is here!"

Shi Zhen, who had remained silent all this time, stepped out immediately.

Gu Yang waved his hand casually, and a black ancient banner appeared and then fell in front of the other party.

"Take this item and go to Wuzhou immediately to suppress the evil spirit. Don't make any mistakes!"

"I accept the decree!"

Shi Zhen said nothing more. He solemnly put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, then turned and left.

Subsequently.

Gu Yang looked at the others and said in a cold voice: "The evil spirits in Shenhe County are causing chaos, which proves that the world is not clear of evil spirits. Pass on my order to thoroughly investigate the nine provinces from today onwards to find the whereabouts of all the hidden evil spirits.

I want to find all these things and destroy them all! ! "

This time.

He was really angry.

Although Gu Yang was in the court and could not see the situation in Wuzhou, he knew from the changes in luck that Tao Heng was unable to suppress the evil spirit.

It is clear.

The natural disaster in Wuzhou was also related to this evil spirit.

The last time he changed the celestial phenomena, he wasted some of the power of luck. This time, Tao Heng used the luck of Shenhe County and wasted some of the power of luck again.

The same evil spirit wasted the dynasty's fortune twice, causing the Shenwu Dynasty's advancement to an imperial dynasty to be delayed once again. How could Gu Yang not be furious?

and--

Now that Tao Heng can't even deal with the evil spirit, one can imagine the situation in Shenhe County.

By the time Shi Zhen really arrives in Shenhe County, I wonder how many people will be killed or injured.

and so.

No matter from which level you look at it.

Gu Yang really wanted to skin this evil creature alive and pull out its tendons.

same.

This incident in Shenhe County also made Gu Yang realize another problem.

Since there are evil spirits lurking in Wuzhou, is it possible that there are evil spirits lurking in other places as well?

if so.

Gu Yang naturally wanted to catch all these evil spirits.

otherwise.

If what happened in Wuzhou were to happen again, Gu Yang would never accept it.

All the officials in the court did not dare to say much now, and they all bowed and obeyed Gu Yang's orders.

"Retreat!"

Gu Yang stood up and left.

Upon seeing this, the other officials also bowed and withdrew.

but.

Although the court meeting was over, the expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat pessimistic.

The reappearance of evil spirits that had disappeared for many years reminded some people of bad memories.

One of the ministers sighed: "The evil spirit of Wuzhou has reappeared. I wonder how long the world can remain stable!"

"Master Chen, be careful with your words!"

When one of them heard this, his face suddenly changed and he immediately shouted in a low voice to stop him. The former also seemed to have reacted and his face suddenly turned pale. He dared not talk nonsense anymore.

at this time.

Another person said: "This evil spirit can't cause any trouble. Don't forget that we have the Emperor Emeritus in our Shenwu Dynasty."

"If that evil spirit really wreaks havoc on the world, the emperor will certainly take action himself. At that time, it will be easy to deal with the evil spirit."

When the others heard this, they also understood.

Yup!

They almost forgot that the greatest foundation of the court today is the retired emperor.

As long as the other party is still there, the sky of the Shenwu Dynasty is destined not to collapse.

But because some people suddenly heard the evil news, they lost their composure and didn't think of this. (End of this chapter)
