Swordholder

However, the purple-robed figure was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of them, smashing an old man to pieces with a single punch.

The Qi family patriarch's face turned deathly pale.

"Run separately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran off in another direction.

His gaze also fell upon Li Wei and the Wuxiang Guards.

But they discovered that the purple-robed figure in front of them was not chasing after the Wuxiang Guards, but instead was specifically targeting and hunting down the Qi family members!

The Qi family patriarch sensed something was wrong and glanced behind him, only to be horrified to discover that his entire Qi family had been slaughtered.

Even the beasts from the other aristocratic families were not able to survive; they all turned into corpses.

The Qi family patriarch stared wide-eyed as he met the pupils of the purple-robed figure through the gaps in the messy hair on his forehead.

Those deep, bloodthirsty eyes sent chills down his spine, and at the same time, he recognized the other person.

"You...you are..."

The Qi family patriarch was about to cry out in alarm when suddenly a large hand grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"You...you're so cruel!"

The Qi family patriarch spoke in a trembling voice. He recognized the person who had come, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair!

puff!

Without a word, the figure in purple robes crushed his neck, and the severed head rolled to one side.

He stepped forward and stomped on the head until it was smashed, then leaped a few times and disappeared into the street.

"..."

Li Wei was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Jiang Cheng and the others were covered in cold sweat and their faces were pale!

But seeing the purple-robed figure leave, they were all bewildered.

Why don't you kill us?

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was full of suspicion.

Although these purple-robed corpse puppets possess intelligence, they are bloodthirsty and don't care who you are; as long as you are a living being, they will come forward and kill you.

"Don't think too much about it, just be alive."

Li Wei stepped forward, patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, and said meaningfully.

"???"

Jiang Cheng looked puzzled, then his eyes widened as if he had just realized something.

……

After arriving at a secluded corner, Chen Yuan took off his purple robe and then manipulated the prefect's seal to make his official robes reappear.

Next, he vanished from his spot, annihilating all the corpse puppets still inside the county city.

They even hunted down and killed the corpse puppets that had fled to various villages and towns outside the county seat.

Having achieved the Purple Mansion realm through the path of demons and evil, and possessing both the Prefect's Seal and the Prefect's Exclusive Magic Boat, Chen Yuan was extremely fast at eliminating corpse puppets. In just one or two days, he had basically cleared them out. The remaining scattered ones that were still fleeing could only be dealt with by the Formless Guards.

He returned to the county seat, found Li Wei and Jiang Cheng, and, in the name of the county governor, summoned the remaining high-ranking officials of Tianqing County to carry out post-disaster repair and reconstruction of Tianqing County.

Chen Qingcang also led all the members of the Chen family out and into Tianqing County to begin rescuing the wounded.

The evil disaster that occurred in Tianqing County City has come to an end, and peace has been restored, allowing for the commencement of restoration and reconstruction work.

……

·····

Amidst a sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

More than a dozen magnificent and imposing Dharma ships roared and pierced through the endless sea of ​​clouds, stretching across the sky and speeding forward.

On each of the Dharma ships, there were hundreds of figures with a murderous aura, each with cold eyes, dressed in uniform silver armor, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

Especially the dozen or so at the head, their momentum was even stronger!

Behind them appeared the phantom of a black palace, majestic, vast, and imposing, like a celestial palace!

As a result, their terrifying spiritual pressure caused the heavens and earth to change color and the winds to rage!

Those were none other than the beings existing within the Purple Mansion.

These people were the reinforcements sent by Wangdong Prefecture to support Tianqing County. Most of them were powerful members of the Beast Immortal Clan, while others were powerful members of the Wuxiang Court and the Zhifa Court in the prefecture who wanted to gain some merit in battle.

Among this group of reinforcements were more than a dozen powerful figures at the Purple Mansion level, and the leader was none other than Song Tianwen, the Vice Minister of the Eastern Garrison!

This time, he not only brought people to provide support, but also brought appointment documents.

Once the evil black tide here is quelled, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits, especially the position of prefect, which will need to be filled by someone.

Song Tianwen, dressed in the official robes of a prefectural magistrate, stood there with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing presence.

Beside him stood a woman clad in silver body armor that perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure.

She has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of bright, sparkling phoenix eyes.

This woman bore a resemblance to Song Tianwen, possessing a delicate nose, cherry lips, snow-white skin, and an exceptionally beautiful appearance.

Her name is Song Qingxue, and she is Song Tianwen's younger sister. She has exceptional talent and is already a powerful expert in the Purple Mansion Realm at the young age of thirty!

"Brother, several days have passed, and we've only just arrived in Tianqing County. Isn't that a bit too late?"

Song Qingxue narrowed her phoenix eyes, looked down at the churning sea of ​​clouds below, and asked calmly.

Song Tianwen smiled slightly, as if everything was under control, "Not too late, just right."

Song Qingxue narrowed her eyes. "But according to the source of the intelligence, the evil spirits in the Demon Cave enter Tianqing County City directly through the teleportation array."

"There is no Purple Mansion in Tianqing County, so it is completely unable to resist the rampage and slaughter of those evil spirits. I'm afraid it has become a living hell."

As Song Qingxue spoke these words, her face showed not worry, but indifference.

Song Tianwen glanced at her briefly and smiled, "Don't worry, the creatures there won't all die out. Once you become the prefect, there will naturally still be people you can use."

He paused, then said indifferently,

"As for those human cultivators and ordinary people, their deaths are no big deal."

"If they all die and there's no one to do the work, we can just bring in some more from other towns."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingxue nodded and gave a soft hum.

"If that gossipy Zhu Xin weren't a prefect, I wouldn't want to be one!"

"Me, a True Person at the Purple Mansion Realm, actually appointed as a prefect? ​​Wouldn't that be a disgrace to me?"

Song Qingxue had a cold and arrogant expression on her face.

In her view, she should achieve a high position in the prefectural city, rather than go to a county town and become a county governor.

Song Tianwen looked helpless and said softly, "Zhu Xin is probably also at the Purple Mansion Realm."

"What?"

Song Qingxue's face instantly showed astonishment. "How is that possible? When did that bitch start her own household?"

Song Tianwen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "She is hiding it very well. Based on the clues we have obtained, she may still be in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"What? That's impossible!"

Song Qingxue's face twisted in extreme resentment. "Damn it, could it be that Brother Fang helped her?"

As she spoke, her large breasts heaved violently, and demonic energy surged from her body.

She finally reached the first minor realm of the Purple Mansion Realm: Opening the Mansion.

But Zhu Xin actually reached the second minor realm of Concentration?

She was extremely resentful and gritted her teeth in hatred.

Song Tianwen looked at her, his face full of helplessness.

He doted on his younger sister, but she had a rival in love, Zhu Xin.

Zhu Xin and Song Qingxue both fell in love with a man named Fang Tianhe.

That's a prodigy mentor from Wangdong Prefecture!

In order to surpass Zhu Xin, Song Qingxue also wanted to become a prefect.

In order to completely surpass Zhu Xin in the official career.

Little did people know that Zhu Xin had already made a huge breakthrough during those years of seclusion.

His return to Tianshan County as governor was probably just a transitional measure.

"Qingxue, becoming a prefect isn't easy. Whether you can become the prefect of Tianqing Prefecture depends entirely on your performance."

Song Tianwen smiled wryly, his face darkening, and continued, "We delayed our reinforcements for two days before setting off, just so you could turn the tide at this crucial moment."

As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at the surging sea of ​​clouds in front of him, and narrowed his eyes.

"When we arrive in Tianqing County, it will be a scene of carnage, a truly horrific sight."

"Then you will descend upon Tianqing County as a savior, sweep away all the corpse puppets, and gain the approval of the county governor."

"As long as you gain the approval of the prefect's seal, I can put your name on the appointment document I carry."

Even if you are not an official, you can still legitimately become a prefect.

"Because you are recognized by the Prefect's seal, you can operate outside the rules!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingxue nodded.
