The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 269 Encounter (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
Dongfang Liuyun put on the brocade and black shirt of the Taiping Division. He stretched out his arms, looked down at his own image with his pupil-less eyes, and turned around narcissistically.

"Congratulations, Captain Dongfang."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

"feel good."

Dongfang Liuyun smiled, "But isn't the rank of this Taiping Commander too low?"

“All positions in the Taiping Division are obtained through merit.

Even if you are a genius of the time, without any achievements, you can only start as a Taiping Duwei.

But with your strength, you may soon be able to stand on equal footing with me."

Su Mu said calmly, "There is a merit in front of you now, it depends on whether you take it or not."

"What are your orders, sir?"

Dongfang Liuyun quickly got into the role, bowed to Su Mu and said.

"Does your Tianxia Sect have Feng Shui techniques?"

Su Mu went straight to the point.

Dongfang Liuyun understood what he meant when he heard it, "Sir, are you trying to find the place where the demonic energy gathers?

Do you suspect that the corpse demons that destroyed Songjiang Prefecture are hiding in such a place?"

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded and said, now that Dongfang Liuyun has joined the Taiping Division, there is naturally no need for him to hide it.

Now only he and Dongfang Liuyun knew about the disaster that destroyed Songjiang Prefecture.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary chaos, Su Mu had no way to discuss with other people. Dongfang Liuyun was a good communication partner.

"I can define some possible ranges based on the direction of the mountains and rivers, but the accuracy rate is probably only 70% to 80%."

Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and then spoke.

It cannot be said that Feng Shui is entirely false, but it is true that nine out of ten are false.

Being able to determine the distribution of spiritual energy and demonic energy based on the direction of mountains and rivers is already considered the specialty of Tianxia Sect, but it is impossible to achieve 100% accuracy.

Dongfang Liuyun's attainments were not high, but he could probably find the place where 70% to 80% of the demonic energy gathered.

"Let's try it first."

Su Mu pondered and said, "Mark them on the map, and then we will check them one by one.

The monsters from the Demon Court will arrive in Songjiang Prefecture soon, so it would be best to find those corpse demons before they arrive."

Dongfang Liuyun also knew the seriousness of the problem. Without saying much, he picked up the charcoal pencil on the table and started drawing on the map.

…………

After a while.

Su Mu, the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture.

Dongfang Liuyun, the newly promoted Taiping Commandant of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture.

Quietly left Songjiang Prefecture.

After leaving the city, the two went their separate ways.

At the same time, a map was also distributed to Taiping captains such as Luo Anning and Yang Yunzhong.

They divided into different teams and began to follow the map to investigate the area defined by Dongfang Liuyun.

…………

Xiangzhou has a flat terrain with few majestic mountains and steep ridges.

The mountains surrounding Songjiang Prefecture are only two or three hundred meters high and more like rolling hills.

However, Xiangzhou is rainy, and although these mountains are not high, they are densely wooded, and the danger level of the mountains is no less than that of the Daxing Mountains.

Su Mu walked in the dark forest, with rotten leaves under his feet.

There was a cloud of mist under his feet, and his body was actually suspended in the air.

These rotten dead leaves have been deposited for who knows how many years. If people step on them, they will easily sink into them as if they were falling into a swamp.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to escape and he would most likely be suffocated to death.

Even if you are a warrior, you have to be very careful.

Su Mu's Qiantian artistic conception played a huge role. He was able to fly in the air and avoided a lot of trouble.

Even so, Su Mu encountered many wild beasts along the way.

Those wild beasts have been affected by the miasma and evil spirits in the mountains, and have shown signs of becoming intelligent. If nothing is done about it, they might turn into monsters in a few decades.

It is bad luck for them to meet Scottish Shepherd.

As long as Su Mu saw it, he would kill it without hesitation.

After a round of inspection, he made sure that there were no corpse goblins from the Xuanming Sect around.

Su Mu took out the map, crossed out a red circle on it, and then flew towards another red circle on the map without hesitation.

At about the same time, Dongfang Liuyun was also traveling through the mountains and forests surrounding Songjiang Prefecture.

Although he could not fly, he had perfected the state of mind of Duize and had comprehended the related visions. He was not afraid of the swamp conditions and his moving speed was no less than Su Mu's and much faster than the ordinary Taiping Captain.

Moreover, his eyes can see many traces that ordinary people cannot see, and he can complete the investigation task even faster than Su Mu.

"After I finish this, I should be able to become the Taiping Lieutenant."

Dongfang Liuyun grumbled to himself that he was, after all, a genius of the time, but being only a Taiping Commander was too embarrassing.

Moreover, if you are promoted to Taiping Cavalry Captain, the salary will be high.

Thinking of the salary, the corners of his mouth raised.

This is much more profitable than setting up a fortune-telling stall.

The impending chaos is not without its benefits, otherwise, why would the Taiping Division allow a sect disciple like me to join?
"Su Mu is the pacification envoy, so I can't be bad. As a contemporary genius, I should at least be the pacification envoy. Isn't it just about merit? Roll up your sleeves and do it!"

Dongfang Liuyun is full of energy.

Suddenly, he felt the badge on his waist vibrate slightly.

The Taipingsi waist badge has the function of sending messages for help.

If you are in a good environment, you can even contact comrades ten miles away.

But in the dense forests in the mountains, this distance may be reduced several times or even ten times.

The foul and miasma-infectious air in the mountains and forests will produce all kinds of bad effects.

"Anything discovered?"

Dongfang Liuyun held the badge and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He stepped lightly, leaving a shadow in the air, and he had quickly rushed to provide support.

Is this dangerous?
No, this is an achievement, and it is the stepping stone for Dongfang Liuyun to become the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division!

…………

"Junior Sister Luo, you go first!"

Yang Yunzhong held a long knife in his hand and chopped a corpse goblin covered with purple hair back a few steps, shouting loudly.

"None of you can leave."

In the dense forest filled with black fog, a skinny and tall figure slowly walked out.

The man was skin and bones, with bulging eyeballs, and looked more like a ghost than a human.

He was filled with a strong demonic aura. It was obvious that he was a demon who used demonic aura to cultivate, and his realm was extremely high.

"Captain Taiping, after you train a corpse, you will at least have red hair. By training you into corpses, my strength will increase a lot."

He let out a laugh like an owl, hoarse and unpleasant.

The red-haired corpse goblin has strength equivalent to that of a human at the stage of rebirth.

The purple-haired corpse goblin’s strength is comparable to that of humans at the True Essence realm!

"boom!"

Yang Yunzhong was knocked flying by the purple-haired corpse goblin, and hit heavily against a tree that was as thick as a man's embrace. Then he fell to the ground and spit out blood from his mouth.

Luo An Ning swung his sword and raindrops fell from the air.

The raindrops were pulled by Luo An Ning's sword and gathered into a surging river, rushing down and crashing into the purple-haired corpse monster.

"Kanshui artistic conception? Or a genius?"

Elder He's face showed surprise. He stood several feet away, making sharp noises as if he was driving the purple-haired corpse goblin.

The two arms of the purple-haired corpse kept crossing in the air, colliding with the incoming sword light. There was a sound of metal clashing, and the arms of the purple-haired corpse were even stronger than the black soldiers, and they did not suffer the slightest damage in the collision.

There was no fear on Luo An Ning's face. She moved around and, relying on the Kanshui artistic conception, she entangled the purple-haired corpse goblin, buying time for her other comrades.

But Miss Luo's efforts did not have much effect.

Yang Yunzhong was seriously injured, and the conditions of other Taiping lieutenants and Taiping commanders were not much better.

In the dense forest, there were countless zombies that surrounded the dozen or so people from the Taiping Division.

These corpse goblins are all red-haired corpse goblins that are comparable to warriors in the rebirth realm.

Amidst the surging black fog, a red-haired corpse goblin pounced and rushed over a Taiping captain, and stabbed its claws into the chest of a Taiping captain in a brutal and terrifying manner.

The protective power of the brocade and black shirt did not play any role at all.

The heart of the Taiping Commander was pulled out alive by the red-haired corpse goblin.

puff.

There was still fear in the eyes of the Taiping Captain, but he was no longer breathing and his body fell to the ground with a thud.

His heart was stuffed into the mouth of the red-haired corpse goblin, which chewed it with big mouthfuls. Blood dripped from the corners of the red-haired corpse goblin's mouth. The scene looked extremely terrifying.

"hateful!"

Yang Yunzhong got up from the ground, ignoring the severe pain in his chest and abdomen, grabbed the long knife, and rushed forward angrily.

Although the red-haired corpse goblin is strong, they can deal with it.

But they definitely could not stop the purple-haired corpse goblin that was comparable to the True Yuan Realm.

Moreover, the remnant of the Xuanming Sect who controlled the corpse goblin has not yet made a move. Judging from the aura he revealed, his strength must be no less than the True Yuan Realm.

Such power was beyond their ability to resist.

If they don’t have support, they will probably be in trouble this time.

But this is deep in the mountains, and there may not be any comrades nearby.

Even if there is, it may not be useful.

There are only two Zhenyuan realm warriors in the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture, one of whom is the pacification envoy Su Mu.

There is another one - Taiping Commander Dongfang Liuyun.

Yang Yunzhong summoned up his remaining courage and chopped off the head of a red-haired corpse goblin with one knife, only to feel a sense of emptiness all over his body.

He gasped for breath and looked back at Luo An Ning who was fighting with the purple-haired corpse goblin.

At this moment, the purple-haired corpse monster threw a powerful punch, hitting the sword in Luo An Ning's hand.

The long sword in Luo An Ning's hand bent into a terrifying arc, making an unbearable and unpleasant sound.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The sound of metal clashing was like raindrops.

The long sword in Luo An Ning's hand suddenly broke into countless pieces, hitting the purple-haired corpse monster like raindrops.

She staggered back, with blood already appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Go to hell!"

Yang Yunzhong leaped up, kicked the tree trunk with his feet, flew several feet into the air, and chopped down at the head of the purple-haired corpse monster with a knife.

As he drew his sword, Yang Yunzhong shouted again, "Junior Sister Luo, let's go!"

Junior Sister Luo is Lord Su’s fiancée, so nothing must happen to her.

"There are no deserters in the Taiping Division."

Luo Anning said this with a serious expression. She raised her toes and grabbed a long sword left by a comrade who died in the battle.

Many figures flashed quickly through her mind, and finally stopped on Su Mu's smiling face.

I am not married yet.

I haven't fulfilled my wish yet.

The world is not yet at peace.

I won't die.

Miss Luo had a serious expression on her face, and there was a crackling sound coming from her body.

At the critical moment, she actually went one step further and broke through to the state of perfection.

Swish!
Luo An Ning flashed and slashed at Elder He with a knife.

Capture the thief and the leader.

She couldn't defeat the purple-haired corpse goblin, but as long as she could kill the remnant of the Xuanming Sect, the corpse goblin would naturally lose control.

Although he used a knife, Luo Anning's artistic conception of Kanshui was not affected in the slightest.

Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky, and a water dragon, with a mysterious trajectory, came slashing down head-on.

The pupils of Elder He from Xuanming Sect shrank slightly.

"The Taiping Division is indeed full of geniuses. A young girl who has just reached the state of perfection has actually cultivated the Kanshui realm to perfection."

Elder He exclaimed, "It's a pity that you met me.

I will refine you into a purple-haired corpse, so that your talent and understanding will not be wasted."

His palm suddenly stretched out from behind.

The big hand wrapped in black demonic energy directly crushed the water dragon, and then slapped the long sword with one palm.

The long sword broke into pieces.

Luo An Ning flew backwards under the impact of the force, flying more than ten feet away and crashing into a towering ancient tree, only then did he barely stop.

At this time, Yang Yunzhong was knocked away by the purple-haired corpse goblin again and hit a big tree. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The word "Tai" on his chest had been dyed red.

"careful!"

Luo Anning's voice rang out.

Yang Yunzhong barely rolled to the side, but the purple-haired corpse goblin's claws had already grabbed the tree trunk.

With a snap, a large piece of bark was torn off the towering ancient tree.

Yang Yunzhong rolled a few times and watched the purple-haired corpse goblin turn around and attack him. He used his last bit of strength to stand up.

"I am the Taiping Captain, and I will never bring shame to the Taiping Division!"

Yang Yunzhong's face was ferocious and full of cruelty.

"Die!"

He gathered up his last bit of strength and stabbed the purple-haired corpse goblin through its body with one blow.

At the same time, the claws of the purple-haired corpse goblin also pierced into his body.

The two sides fell down as if they were hugging each other.

Luo An Ning took a difficult step, wanting to support Yang Yunzhong, but Elder He from the Xuanming Sect had already arrived in front of her.

"I have said that you will all become my corpses."

Elder He looked at Luo An Ning, his eyes full of fondness.

This is a top-quality corpse material.

"Just fall down obediently."

Elder He took action personally and reached out to grab Luo An Ning. Such good material cannot be destroyed by those zombies.

He wanted to take it down himself.

The light in Luo An Ning's eyes had not gone out. She no longer had a knife in her hand, but the raindrops from the sky were falling even faster.

"Huh? There's an old guy? This is a sure achievement. At least I can get a replacement for the Taiping Lieutenant."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

I saw a figure dressed in brocade and black shirt falling from the sky and landing right between Luo An Ning and Elder He.

The man had an ordinary appearance, with a pair of eyes with whites but no pupils. He was wearing the uniform of a Taiping Commandant.

Elder He glanced at the other person and saw that he was just a Taiping Commander.

"roll."

The Taiping Commander is not even qualified to be transformed into a corpse goblin.

Elder He waved his hand disdainfully, and a force attacked Dongfang Liuyun.
