Destiny is ashes

Chapter 382 Who is killing people?
"My men are all in the manor in the south. I didn't let them come over."

Bai Qinghan said honestly: "I'm afraid you'll kill them. Although they probably don't mind, these are my assets and I can't waste them like this."

"You ask them to come over and help."

An Jing said: "I'm not going to kill anyone I see. Stability is definitely the most important thing right now. With more manpower, we can calm the chaos in the city faster and definitely save more people."

"Eh." Hearing this, Bai Qinghan was surprised: "I thought that after you experienced the incident in Kanming City, you became more murderous, but I didn't expect that you are not the case?"

An Jing shook his head slightly: "According to what you said, the people under your command all belong to Xuanyin Peak. They have been on standby at Tianyi Mountain. They have not done anything evil, so I will naturally not kill them indiscriminately."

At this point, he turned his head and looked at Linjiang City, which was much more desolate than before and almost like a ghost town. He couldn't help but sigh: "After all, after visiting the Linlang Chamber of Commerce this time, I finally understand that those snowfield bandits are hateful and abominable, but the number of people they killed is no more than dozens or hundreds. Even the big bandits in my hometown who have been rampant for many years only have a few hundred or thousands of people."

"But here in Dachen, any action or decree with evil intentions can decide the life and death of more than a hundred times the number of people."

An Jing stared at the ruined city center in the distance, where the government office used to be, and said sarcastically, "Me? Do you think I have a strong murderous nature? But have I killed more than five hundred people since I was born?"

"But the officials in my hometown clearly knew that the frost disaster had arrived, but they concealed it and did not report it. I don't know what kind of peace they were trying to cover up... This move could kill hundreds of villages and tens of thousands of residents."

"And then, the Northern Frontier garrison retreated inexplicably, allowing Qingyu Pass to be captured. Important places including Yunzhong City were successively occupied by the Northern Barbarians, and countless people were displaced. How many tens of thousands of people died?"

"Finally, in order to avoid the onslaught of rioters and disaster victims, the garrisons of each state set up restrictions at various checkpoints - guess what happened?"

Bai Qinghan didn't say anything...but did she need to guess? Everything An Jing said, she had experienced personally in the early years.

"empty."

An Jing also knew that Bai Qinghan understood this the best, so he said calmly: "It's not just nine out of ten houses that are empty, the entire Northern Frontier is empty - the millions of residents, I don't know if they were captured by the Tieli, or found a way out and moved to the south early, or...all died in their hometown."

"Don't even think about letting the bandits kill them all. Even if you let Tie Li kill them all, they definitely won't be able to kill them all. It's impossible."

"It's so empty that the Iron Tribes can easily occupy large tracts of towns with existing walls and fortifications. They call digging out the cities and villages in the snow "mining" because the various resources left behind are like gold, which can quickly enrich the poor northern barbarian tribes."

"That's murder. I understand that the best, don't I?"

"I understand, Big Brother."

Bai Qinghan stared at the muddy ice on the ground. She whispered, "Only by doing evil in a systematic way can one systematically destroy lives... No matter how crazy a person is, he can never compare to systematic evil."

"Yes." An Jing turned his head and looked towards Linjiang City: "Similarly, only with a system of order can we get more things done better."

"Linjiang City has been abandoned by Dachen. There is no order here, so I will be in charge and establish order."

"But I don't have the manpower. Although the people from Hanlang Escort Agency can be used, their number is too small... Qinghan, call your team over. Even if they are from Tianyi Demon Sect, as long as they can establish order under my hands, they can still help save more people."

"I won't kill them as long as they obey my orders and don't bully the people." "Understood." Bai Qinghan nodded slightly, and immediately went over to call for help.

"That's right." After Bai Qinghan gave the order, An Jing suddenly thought of something and called her back, reminding her, "You haven't strengthened yourself yet, right?"

"Ah."

Bai Qinghan nodded slightly: "My 'Jing Yue Ming' is a divine destiny, which is independent of the five divine powers of the physical body, so I have not yet officially entered the inner strength."

"That's just right."

An Jing thought about You Ruhui's breakthrough to inner strength with the help of dragon energy, and he didn't have the chance to use his experience. In order to prevent Bai Qinghan from missing out, he simply told her his own experience: "If you have enough talent and a strong spirit, you don't need to follow the order of body first and soul second, but soul first and body second."

"In this way, the soul can be tempered through repeated concentration of divine powers, and the body can also become more resilient under the guidance of the soul. This is a win-win move."

Having said that, An Jing unbuttoned his outer martial arts shirt and displayed his ghost scale inner armor: "I fought against the True Demon Sect this time. Besides the special material of this inner armor that resisted the demonic energy, it was also because of my strong soul."

"Now that I think about it, there was actually a faint noise that seemed to be muttering something during the battle, but I was too focused on killing them all, so I didn't notice it. This is probably the benefit of a strong soul."

——No, no, no. Bai Qinghan thought to himself. This can't be explained by mental toughness. If mental toughness can resist the devil, then which of those great cultivators doesn't have an iron heart that is indestructible?
But it seems difficult to explain this to An Jing, because his eldest senior brother really seems to be immune to the various temptations of the devil... Well, he is worthy of being the eldest senior brother.

An Jing didn't know that his image in front of Bai Qinghan was a bit too majestic, so he still reminded her carefully: "The only disadvantage is that there are very few people with spiritual talent. I naturally meet the requirements. Xiaobai, you also realized the magical power as soon as you awakened your destiny, so you should be able to give it a try."

"Follow the instructions of Senior Brother."

Bai Qinghan bowed to An Jing solemnly again, which made An Jing even have an illusion: Did he really betray the Tianyi Demon Sect?

What’s wrong with this group of people... Xiaobai is fine, but if someone from the Tianyi Cult comes and pays respect to him so seriously in the future, An Jing would probably feel really confused!

Bai Qinghan and Xu Tai both left. They were both calling for help, and with the speed of warriors, there would probably be a response soon.

Before reliable personnel arrived, An Jing wanted to count his gains - he got a lot from the True Demon Cult leader and Mo Li this time - and then go to see how his mother was doing.

But when he turned around and saw the body of the big snake that was about to transform into a dragon, he thought of another important thing: "Yes, I have to figure out the storage method of dragon energy first... Contact Ruhui."

But before An Jing could contact him, the emperor's blood in the sea of ​​​​consciousness vibrated slightly. It turned out that You Ruhui had taken the initiative to send a message back.

"Oh?" An Jing was a little curious. He answered the call and heard You Ruhui's surprised voice: [An Jing, An Jing, there is good news! ]

"What good news?" He asked curiously, and then he got a very fateful answer: [The people in the Ancestral Dragon Hall saw that I had cultivated the True Martial Ridge, so they gave me all the magical books they had about the True Dragon Ridge! ]

[Do you need it? If you need it, I will send you all this information now! ]
