Swordholder

But an old man on the side looked worried.

He couldn't help but speak in a low voice, his face full of solemnity.

"Young Master, according to intelligence, dozens of those corpse puppets are Heaven-level beings, which are corpse puppets at the Purple Mansion Realm."

Even though they were all corpse puppets at the Opening Mansion Realm, they were still extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, we only have a dozen or so Purple Mansions, most of whom are at the Opening Mansion Realm, and only two Supreme Beings are at the Condensation Realm…”

This old man is named Song Kui, the steward of the Song family, and he is also at the Open Mansion Realm.

He stopped mid-sentence, a worried look on his face.

Song Tianwen smiled slightly, looked at him, and said confidently, "Elder Kui, this is why I delayed my departure by two days."

The people around him were puzzled and looked at him.

Among the experts at the Purple Mansion Realm who came this time, some were members of the Song family, while others were invited guests. Even the official experts were not worth paying much attention to.

Therefore, Song Tianwen, feeling emboldened, spoke frankly.

"After two days of delay, those corpse puppets have probably completed their mission, and therefore will not harbor much hatred towards us, nor will they have much of a killing intent."

Everyone gasped in surprise and fell into deep thought.

"Those corpse puppets are probably killing on a large scale to obtain a lot of blood. Once they have killed enough, their fighting spirit and instincts will not be so strong, and we will feel much less pressure when facing us again."

Song Tianwen spoke calmly, his expression remaining indifferent.

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions hardened.

Some of them showed apprehension in their eyes.

They were wary of Song Tianwen's ruthlessness, which made him treat human beings like chickens and dogs, showing no humanity whatsoever!

Even if all of humanity were wiped out, so be it; he didn't care at all.

His words were accepted by both Song Kui and Song Qingxue.

"There's another way to deal with those Purple Mansion Corpse Puppets: seize control of the Prefect's Seal and manipulate the incense power of the guardian statues!"

Song Tianwen continued, looking at Song Qingxue, and instructed her that once she arrived in Tianqing County, she must appear grief-stricken and indignant.

He even wept bitterly, portraying himself as someone who loved the people like his own children, in order to win their hearts and gain the approval of the prefect.

Song Qingxue nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I know what to do. It's just acting, right? Fooling those troublemakers is my specialty."

"Hmm? So how will you do it?"

Song Tianwen looked at her and asked with a smile.

"I'll endure the disgust, treat them, give them food, and even distribute large quantities of purification pills and white pills. Hmph, such a small favor, and those unruly people won't be moved to tears?"

Song Qingxue spoke up triumphantly.

Song Tianwen frowned.

Song Qingxue's appearance is so fake.

It is important to understand that loving the people comes from the heart, not just on the surface.

"Fine, the appointment letter is in my hands. Besides Qingxue, who else is qualified to be the prefect?"

With this in mind, Song Tianwen could only remind him again, "Alright, then do whatever your own plan is, but don't always show your disdain for humans on your face."

"I understand, bro!"

Song Qingxue nodded with a cold expression and said.

Song Tianwen hummed in agreement, then his gaze fell upon the ground below.

At this moment, a magnificent and vast city appeared on the land below, covering an area so large that it stretched to the horizon.

In many places, wisps of smoke still rise into the sky.

As far as the eye could see, there was only devastation and ruins.

Especially on the city walls, corpses were scattered haphazardly and hung everywhere.

really!

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

Anyone with a modicum of conscience unconsciously clenched their fists.

In particular, many of the cultivators wearing silver armor were human.

They all evolved from demon-transforming pills, monster-transforming pills, or even beast-transforming pills; their essence remains human.

Seeing a city littered with human corpses, as if slaughtered by chickens and dogs, still fills my heart with unbearable sorrow.

They are the Wangdong Army, responsible for guarding and protecting the entire Wangdong Prefecture.

Compared to the Tianqing Army in Tianqing County, they were of a higher rank.

Their level, equipment, and combat power are far superior to those of the Tianqing Army.

The dozen or so French ships were moving at great speed, and in the blink of an eye they were above Tianqing County.

It then slowly sank, getting closer to the ground to within a few dozen meters.

The street below is now clearly visible.

The streets were stained with blood, and corpses were scattered everywhere, piled up like mountains.

In many places, large fires were burning, and the fires seemed to be incinerating the corpses.

Song Tianwen frowned slightly, finally realizing that something was wrong.

Song Qingxue, however, could not wait any longer. She drew her long sword, and the armor on her body clashed with a metallic clang as she moved.

"I am Song Qingxue, the eldest daughter of the Song family of Wangdong Mansion! I have come today to suppress the evil spirits!!"

With righteous indignation, Song Qingxue shouted loudly and then jumped down the street below.

"wait……"

Song Tianwen tried to stop it, but it was too late.

boom!

Song Qingxue landed majestically on the street.

The Wangdong Army soldiers, clad in silver armor, all turned to look at Song Tianwen.

In particular, the leading general, a middle-aged man named Song Yingxing, frowned deeply, "Young Master, this..."

"Go down."

Song Tianwen waved his hand and sighed.

Although I sensed something was amiss, I still had to go into Tianqing County to find out what had happened!

Isn't it said that evil spirits cause chaos?

Why didn't I see a single evil spirit?

There isn't even a single corpse puppet?

Song Tianwen was puzzled.

At the same time, the Wangdong Army on more than a dozen magic ships, and even the powerful figures from the Zhijian Court and Wuxiang Court, jumped down onto the streets of Tianqing County below.

Each of the Dharma boats had several hundred Wangdong Army soldiers, and with more than a dozen boats combined, there were several thousand soldiers.

This is a terrifying force, capable of sweeping away any aristocratic family in Tianqing County.

When they landed on the streets of Tianqing County, they all adopted a wary posture.

Especially Song Qingxue, who thought that as soon as she came down, she would be attacked by countless corpse puppets!

Even many beings who were in despair saw her descend from the sky like a god and became dazed.

Then, they saw hope in their desperate situation!

He then looked at Song Qingxue with burning eyes, overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement!

However······

There's nothing there!

There are no corpse puppets!

There were no desperate, numb creatures, no creatures like lambs to the slaughter...

Although there were many drained corpses on the street.

There were also many creatures coming and going, carrying corpses.

There were humans and many beast-like creatures among them. Under the command of some guardians without form, they orderly moved the corpses together, then set them on fire and burned them on the spot.

Some ordinary people even took brooms, dustpans, shovels and other tools and began to clean up the bloodstains, severed limbs, internal organs and scattered stones from the broken buildings on the ground.

This scene was orderly and orderly, resembling a scene of recovery and reconstruction after a disaster.

Upon seeing Song Qingxue, they only glanced at her briefly and didn't pay much attention, continuing with their work.

After all, many living beings lost their loved ones because of this evil calamity.

They had no interest in paying attention to these glamorous visitors.

He simply buried himself in his work, completing the tasks assigned by the prefect.

Some of the Wuxiang Guards glanced at Song Qingxue, then looked around at the increasing number of Wangdong Army soldiers appearing on the surrounding streets. Their expressions changed slightly, but they did not make any changes or take any action.

"Where are the corpse puppets?"

Song Qingxue asked in a cold voice, sensing a bad premonition.

Although they set off two days later, they weren't that much later.

The current scene clearly indicates that the corpse puppets have retreated.

She suddenly grabbed a passing Wuxiang Guard and asked coldly, "I'm asking you, where are those corpse puppets?"

Wu Xiangwei felt immense pressure in front of Song Qingxue, and his breathing became difficult, but he still spoke in a deep voice.

"The corpse puppets were wiped out by the prefect."

He paused, then looked at Song Qingxue and the Wangdong Army soldiers in their silver armor, and said in a mocking tone,

"You're too late!"

"The evil calamity is over."

These words caused Song Yingxing, who had led a large group of Wangdong Army soldiers, to change his expression slightly.
