The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"The Five Elements Escape Technique?"

"The true meaning of space?"

"It's almost time."

"Elder Su, take our men to the state army camp and take over the state army."

"It seems that Jiang Yun should be dead by now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingcang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a low voice, "In order to prevent Chu Xiu from killing our people with the Five Elements Escape Technique, Elder Su will personally oversee the state army camp."

"Holy Son, should I bring a new statue of a deity with me?"

"Since Chu Xiu attacked the state army camp, according to the information we received earlier, it is very likely that the statues in the state army camp were also destroyed by Chu Xiu."

After considering for a moment, Su Qinghe asked Xiao Qingcang.

Su Qinghe was fully aware of what Xiao Qingcang was saying.

They didn't actually trust Jiang Yun; only their direct followers of the Yellow Heaven Sect were people they could truly trust.

However, since Jiang Yun led tens of thousands of state soldiers to join their Yellow Heaven Sect, they naturally couldn't easily purge Jiang Yun.

So from the beginning, they wanted to get rid of Jiang Yun through Chu Xiu.

Now that Jiang Yun is dead, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to step in and take control of the state troops, allowing their Yellow Heaven Sect's direct followers to control the military power of the state troops.

"Need not."

"The statues that contain powerful faith were slowly enshrined by our Huangtian Sect over several decades."

“Every loss of one is a heavy blow to our Yellow Heaven Sect.”

“If Jiang Yun hadn’t been somewhat useful, I wouldn’t have bestowed upon him a statue that our Yellow Heaven Sect has been worshipping for decades.”

Xiao Qingcang shook his head and said, "Now, we only have two such statues left in the entire Qingzhou region, and we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps."

These two statues were left in the governor's mansion.

Once it has absorbed enough faith power, it will be sent to Julu County.

"Yes, I understand."

Su Qinghe said with a respectful expression.

Xiao Qingcang lowered his head and continued reading, remaining silent.

Su Qinghe bowed and then disappeared from the spot.

State military camp.

Inside the commander's tent.

"Jiang Qian has been at the governor's mansion for some time now."

Why is there no movement from the governor's mansion?

Jiang Yun frowned and stared in the direction of the governor's mansion, saying with a look of surprise and doubt, "Could it be that the Holy Son never intended to protect me, but instead wanted to use Chu Xiu to eliminate me all along?"

"Yes, that must be it!"

"Damn it!"

"They don't trust me!"

After a pause, Jiang Yun said through gritted teeth.

Despite his outward appearance of utmost devotion to the Yellow Heaven Saint, he actually doesn't believe that the Yellow Heaven Saint is any true god.

He simply wanted to use the statue of the Yellow Heavenly Saint Venerable to improve his cultivation level.

Xiao Qingcang must have guessed this as well, which is why he kept him stationed in the state army camp.

A sword light appeared silently and struck Jiang Yun with a single strike.

"Chu..."

Sensing the sharpness of the sword energy, Jiang Yun's face showed a look of horror, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

only!

He only uttered one word before his head rolled to the ground!

"too weak!"

Chu Xiu appeared in the command tent, shook his head, and said.

After saying that, Chu Xiu's figure disappeared once again.

One after another, figures rushed over from all around the state army camp. They were generals, lieutenants, and even deputy generals from the Qingzhou state army.

They had just arrived when they saw Jiang Yun lying in a pool of blood, and panic was already showing on their faces.

They had previously heard that Chu Xiu had killed Zhao Wang Murong Zhi with the Five Elements Escape Technique, and had also infiltrated the military camp to kill Jiang Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Jiang family. He had single-handedly slaughtered the entire demon army with his sword, and had been ennobled as the Marquis of Champion for this military achievement.

These people don't really believe it.

this moment!

But they truly believed it.

Chu Xiu truly possesses such terrifying abilities.

The Qingzhou soldiers and generals broke out in a cold sweat, their hands and feet turning icy cold.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One by one, Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes appeared in the commander's tent.

It was the direct descendants of the Yellow Heaven Sect, led by Su Qinghe.

"Greetings, Elder Su."

Upon seeing Su Qinghe and his entourage appear, the generals of Qingzhou Prefecture breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite."

"The Holy Son already knows about the incident at the state army camp and has sent me with our Yellow Heaven Sect experts to provide support."

"I didn't expect that I was still a step too late and couldn't save General Jiang."

"However, I will be stationed at the state army camp from now on."

"If Chu Xiu dares to come, I will definitely be able to keep him here!"

With a sorrowful expression, Su Qinghe looked at the group of Qingzhou soldiers and generals and said, "Generals, there is no need to worry."

"Thank you, Elder Su."

Upon hearing Su Qinghe's words, the generals of Qingzhou Prefecture showed surprise and delight on their faces and thanked him.

"However, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day."

"Now that General Jiang is dead, a new commander should be appointed. What do you generals think?"

Su Qinghe sighed and looked at the group of Qingzhou soldiers and generals, asking them a question.

"Elder Su is absolutely right, and I agree."

"Elder Su, who do you think is suitable to be the commander-in-chief?"

"Yes, Elder Su, we are all rough men, you can just tell us who will be the commander!"

"Me too!"

"..."

The generals and soldiers of Qingzhou spoke up one after another.

Those who became generals in Qingzhou Prefecture, weren't all exceptionally shrewd and capable individuals?

If all you could do was lead troops, you wouldn't have been able to climb to your current position.

Therefore, the moment Su Qinghe opened his mouth, they guessed that Su Qinghe wanted to take control of the tens of thousands of state soldiers in the hands of their Huangtian Sect.

It is likely that Jiang Yun's death was part of the Yellow Heaven Sect's plan.

Otherwise, why didn't Xiao Qingcang, the Holy Son of the Yellow Heaven Sect, send Su Qinghe to oversee the state army camp before Jiang Yun died, but only after Jiang Yun's death did Su Qinghe bring a group of Yellow Heaven Sect experts to personally oversee the state army camp?

"Since you generals have said so, then I will not stand on ceremony."

"Canglang, you will serve as the General of Qingzhou and take command of the entire army of Qingzhou."

Su Qinghe nodded slightly, stroked his snow-white beard, and said in a steady and powerful voice.

He wasn't referring to commanding tens of thousands of soldiers in the prefecture, but rather that the entire army of Qingzhou had been handed over to Ji Canglang, a protector of the Huangtian Sect.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe, with a resolute appearance, clasped his hands together and spoke in a powerful voice.

This person is none other than Ji Canglang, a protector of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

"Meet the general."

The Qingzhou soldiers and generals bowed respectfully to Ji Canglang.

now.

An inn, in the courtyard.

"Congratulations, host! You have killed Jiang Yun, the traitorous governor of Qingzhou, destroyed a statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint, and received ten Blissful Ascension Pills and forty years of Celestial Power as a reward."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

Upon hearing the voice of the positive energy system, Chu Xiu was overjoyed; his strength could be enhanced once again!

On the surface, he remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, and in his mind he said without hesitation, "Yes!"

The voice just fell.

Forty years of celestial power appeared in Chu Xiu's dantian. The Shangqing Divine Art automatically operated, absorbing and refining the forty years of celestial power, allowing his cultivation level to break through from the peak of the third level of the Celestial Realm to the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm naturally.
