Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

"Your Highness."

Xie Gaoguang followed the man in black robe into the room. He felt uneasy but had to pretend to be calm.

"You did a good job."

The prince praised, his tone of voice was very strange, like he hadn't spoken in a long time and hadn't mastered the skill yet.

Xie Gaoguang lowered his head humbly: "I am just following your orders, Your Highness."

In fact, he was extremely frightened in his heart. After spending some time together, Xie Gaoguang felt that the feeling of being with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and being with the Divine Emperor were extremely similar.

The same trepidation, the same worry and fear, as if the person he was accompanying was not a living person, but some kind of existence more terrifying than evil spirits.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's condition was very strange. Sometimes he was very dull and didn't say a word, but sometimes he was no different from an ordinary person and could communicate normally.

The similarity in temperament between the Crown Prince and the Divine Emperor is extremely strong.

To the extent that Xie Gaoguang sometimes couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of him was the Divine Emperor or the Crown Prince.

Chapter 248 The sky is dead, and the immortals should be established!

This strange phenomenon even made Xie Gaoguang come up with an extremely absurd guess.

He quietly raised his head and carefully glanced at the figure wrapped in the black robe, then quickly retracted his gaze and suppressed all distracting thoughts.

Xie Gaoguang warned himself in his heart: "Why do you think so much?"

“Ignorance is bliss.”

The prince stared at him with a half-smile: "Gao Guang, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Gaoguang shuddered all over and knelt on the ground: "I have been worried about the war situation in Liuzhou these past two days. I am uneasy. I am sorry to make you laugh."

The prince did not care whether the words were true or not, and just asked again: "How is the investigation going for me?"

Xie Gaoguang swallowed his saliva and knelt on the ground and said.

"Wu Quan, the acting Spirit Suppression Envoy of Qingzhou, has a very bad reputation in the Spirit Suppression Division and is disliked by the warriors. Before entering the immortal cave, he even had a dispute with Sanna of the Spirit Suppression Division of Yanzhou."

"His death seems quite strange..."

The prince said calmly: "You should know what I really want you to investigate."

His tone was not harsh, but it carried a hint of indifference.

"Yes! Of course I know!"

Xie Gaoguang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, kowtowed like crazy, and kept saying, "Ghost-faced man!"

"I found this name from the warriors. At that time, in that cave, the person most likely to find the lost armor of the God General and do something with it was only this person."

Then, Xie Gaoguang began to describe in detail his understanding of the Ghost-Faced Man.

"This ghost-faced man is a warrior who has gained fame in Qingzhou and Lingzhou in recent months. It is said that his strength is above the fifth level. He acts in a very mysterious way and no one knows his true appearance. He always wears a pitch-black armor and his mask looks as hideous as a ghost face, hence his nickname..."

After listening to the information, the prince did not find any concealment or exaggeration. It was the same information he had learned through other channels. He nodded and muttered to himself.

"Ghost-faced man..."

Soon, the prince asked another seemingly unrelated question.

"Does the Qingzhou Zhenling Division have any God General seeds now?"

Xie Gaoguang nodded: "Yes, he is a talent selected by General Tie himself, called Jade-faced Scholar Lu Bin, who has already broken through the fifth realm."

"Scholar?"

The prince lowered his eyebrows and thought of a figure he had seen in the crowd before, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The next morning.

The sky gradually brightened and there was still a light mist in the air.

Anle put all the prepared supplies into the storage bag and brought Ye Ling'er to the agreed place.

Situ Yuan and several warriors were already waiting nearby.

Seeing An Le and the tall and conspicuous Ye Ling'er beside him, Situ Yuan had a strange expression on his face. He walked aside and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Lu, you went through life and death with your wife?"

You have to know that they are going there to quell the rebellion, not to travel, so it is obviously inappropriate to bring female relatives with them.

Situ Yuan had also met Ye Ling'er several times. His impression of her was, first, that she was a big eater, and second, that she had a very innocent personality.

As for strength?

Looking at Ye Ling'er's delicate skin and tender flesh, you can tell that she is most likely powerless.

In a dangerous battle, it is undoubtedly just a burden.

Anle naturally understood that Situ Yuan had good intentions, but this was his promise to his senior sister, so how could he go back on his word?

Besides, with Ye Ling'er's fighting power, it's hard to say who will protect whom at that time!

An Le patted Situ Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, she is strong enough to protect herself."

Situ Yuan showed a suspicious look on his face, but since it was Anle's decision, he couldn't persuade her too much, so he could only say: "Brother Lu, just know what's going on."

Although the other Zhenling Division warriors had strange looks in their eyes, they did not dare to meddle in the affairs of Anle, a fifth-level warrior, and would not say anything more.

"Sister, take this."

After Situ Yuan left, Anle took out a black hat and veil and asked Ye Ling'er to put them on.

The area they were about to enter was extremely chaotic, and Senior Sister's appearance might cause unnecessary trouble.

Ye Ling'er did as she was told. She looked around at the warriors around her and whispered.

"Junior brother, they are so weak..."

An Le forced the sound into a line and sent it directly into her ears: "...There's no need to say such things."

"If you are not forced to do so, Senior Sister, you'd better not take action, especially don't use magical powers or spells."

Ye Ling'er pecked the little head obediently: "I understand."

While the two were talking privately, many warriors rushed to the hilltop and were ready for battle.

Compared with the last operation commanded by Wu Quan, this time the Qingzhou Zhenling Division truly came out in full force, leaving only a very small number of forces behind.

To everyone's surprise, the mysterious man in black robe also came here, as if he wanted to go to the battle with them.

As the saying goes, a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall.

For a person of his distinguished status, there is absolutely no need for him to take risks personally.

But people also thought of a possibility - perhaps this mysterious man believed that nothing could threaten his own safety, so he dared to act in this way?

In any case, after the other party arrived, the atmosphere near the hilltop became visibly solemn, and the warriors' voices of conversation were subconsciously lowered.

The mysterious man's demonstration last night was surprisingly effective.

How could anyone dare not be careful when facing a boss like this who would kill people at will?

Anle's expression remained calm. He looked silently in the direction of the man in black robe and thought to himself.

"The movements were slow and stiff, and he wasn't paying any attention to what was happening outside."

"Sure enough, everything is the same as in the simulation."

As the owner of the [Posture of the God of War], Anle could naturally see the abnormality in the black-robed man's movements.

Compared to the murder demonstration yesterday, he now looked more like a rigid puppet, as if controlled by countless invisible threads.

But because of this, Anle became more alert.

The person who can make a puppet become the acting spiritual envoy of Qingzhou, the identity of the person behind it seems to be obvious.

Not long after, the warriors of Qingzhou Zhenling Division gathered.

With so many people, it was naturally impossible for them all to gather together, and they were divided into several small groups and left in batches.

Although Anle has not yet been promoted to a thousand households, his strength at the fifth level is there after all, and he is also responsible for commanding a group of warriors.

******

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Qingzhou is located at the junction of Liuzhou, Yanzhou and Lingzhou. It is sandwiched between these three states and is not too far from Liuzhou. In addition, the warriors of Zhenlingsi are all elite and their marching speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. It only took three days to reach the border of Liuzhou.

"Master, please be kind and give me some food. I kneel down for you..."

Several ragged refugees knelt down in front of the warriors. They were pale and skinny, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Ordinary people were so fearful of the Zhenling Division that they would try to dodge them on weekdays. Unless they were extremely hungry, they would never dare to actively approach the warriors of the Zhenling Division.

The warrior who was asked for help was kind-hearted. He gave some food to the refugees and sent them away.

If it were some warriors with cruel temperaments, who knows what they would do.

"Alas, we have encountered more and more refugees recently."

Seeing this scene, Situ Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Including this time, we have encountered five waves today."

"Has the situation in Liuzhou become so deteriorating?"

Anle next to him remained silent.

The closer they got to Liuzhou, the more miserable the conditions they saw along the way.

Many fields were abandoned, and refugees and uncollected corpses could be seen everywhere, which was a shocking sight.

Apart from the war in Liuzhou, the previous long-term drought and high taxes imposed by the government had already forced many people to unable to survive - the situation in Baoqi County was, after all, only a minority.

Faced with this situation, Anle felt very heavy-hearted.

The power of an individual seems insignificant in the face of such a trend.

The group continued moving forward for a while, and suddenly a cry came from Anle's token.

"It's a small group of rebels in Liuzhou!"

The voice was quite confident at first: "With our strength, we should be able to solve it quickly."

It has to be said that the token of the Zhenling Division is extremely effective in this relatively primitive war. Whether it is dispatching warriors or transmitting intelligence, it can always be one step ahead.

But after just a few seconds, a hint of fear appeared in the speaker's tone.

"No, their condition... is very wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, a sound of fighting came from the token, along with suppressed gasps and strange roars.

"Asking for support! Requesting support!"

By this time, his voice was filled with great fear, as if he had seen some horrible monster.

"They are not human beings at all..."

"No... don't come over!"

Finally, after a crisp "click" sound, the red dot belonging to the other party on the Anle Token was completely extinguished.

Situ Yuan was shocked: "What happened?"

From the time the information was received to the time the speaker died, it took less than three minutes in total. A group of warriors from the Zhenling Division were wiped out just like that?

Anle's face was solemn, knowing that they had finally run into an enemy that they could not avoid.

"follow me!"

Not long after, Anle arrived at the area where the battle took place.

This was a flat open space, indicating that the warriors from the Zhenling Division had encountered the rebels head-on rather than falling into a trap.

The ground was full of traces of a fierce battle, with cracked soil and rocks, bloodstains, and several broken limbs hanging nearby.

Soon, Anle found the bodies of his colleagues, four in total.

Their deaths were extremely miserable, with their stomachs ripped open or their heads smashed to pieces. Almost none of them were left intact.

Normal warriors would not usually kill people in such a brutal manner, it was almost as if they were attacked by a monster.
