One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

When the emperor killed people, it was Jiang Xinlian, a top powerhouse who had nine times of lightning calamities like Jiang Xinlian, which made many high-ranking officials in the court terrified.

Chu Longxiang fought Song Yun to show his position to the emperor. Although he lost badly, at least he won't end up like Jiang Xinlian.

Against this background, the atmosphere in Yangcheng's officialdom seemed a bit strange.

The officials were amazed at Song Yun's combat prowess, but they all kept him at a respectful distance. Even some deputy generals of the Xiexie Guard deliberately avoided him when they returned to the headquarters.

The chief general, Nan Gongshuo, sent a letter. He first praised him, and then reminded Song Yun to keep a low profile and observe the current situation more.

Even Nan Gongshuo, who was far away on the border, felt the turbulent undercurrent above the court.

Song Yun was in Yangcheng, but he felt at ease.

Either sit still all day, or go out and perform tasks.

More than ten days later, the turmoil of this martial arts competition gradually subsided, and everyone's attention was attracted by another big event——

Vientiane instrument began to promote the use of.

Although the threshold for its use has not yet been lowered, all departments of the imperial court, Yangcheng government office and other departments have been equipped with one.

In these yamen, there are so many masters of Taoism, there is no need to worry about the problem of using the threshold, and the assembly of the omnidirectional instrument is equivalent to a pilot.

The miraculous effect of this treasure was soon revealed and became the focus of heated discussion among officials.

With the Vientiane, the efficiency of document transmission between officials and offices has increased sharply, and orders can be issued in real time.

Dossiers, archives, information, documents and other materials are all recorded in the Vientiane, which is convenient and convenient for sharing.

At the same time, stricter identity checks were enforced.

For people with household registration in Yangcheng, all the detailed information is recorded in the Vientiane Instrument, which can be found in the yamen.

All foreigners who came to Yangcheng had to register temporarily, and even their appearance had to be recorded.

Not only ordinary people, but even generals like Song Yun had to go to the military office to register in person.

Because the emperor attached great importance to the effect of this pilot project, the officials below did not dare to neglect and worked extraordinarily hard.

It only took half a month to count the identity information of all the people in Yangcheng.

With the blessing of Taoism, hundreds of omnidirectional instruments in Yangcheng have been connected, and all the information has been unified and compared with each other.

Soon there will be plenty to gain—

Some soldiers were obviously dead, and the files of the military department said they were killed in battle, but they were still alive in the files of the Household Registration Department.

Some people have died in the records of the household registration department, but they can still buy real estate and pay taxes to the Yangcheng government.

Some people claim to have just come to Yangcheng, but there are traces in the records of previous years.

……

A lot of problems were exposed, many people were investigated, and all kinds of illegal activities were found out.

The more significant result was that dozens of Sanmen's Anzi were tracked down!
The Anzi fled when they heard the wind, and those who moved quickly slipped away, and those who moved slowly couldn't even get out of the city gate.

Because, the gates of the four cities are equipped with omnidirectional instruments, and everyone who leaves the city has to check their identity.

As soon as the official arrest warrant is issued, all omnidirectional devices receive the message immediately, with almost no delay.

These scattered sects couldn't pass the inspection at all, so they could only flee back to the city and hide everywhere.

The government sent people to hunt him down again. …

All of a sudden, there were battles in Yangcheng every day, and people fled from time to time, followed closely by a dozen policemen.

Song Yun soon heard the news, and thought of Li Qingshan, the master of Sanmen who had met once, secretly sighed:

"The worst thing these people fear is still coming."

The powerful function of the Omnipotent is the best way to restrain the forces lurking in the dark like Sanmen.

Dozens of Sanmen Anzi were arrested one after another, which meant that the conflict between the imperial court and Sanmen began to intensify.

In Yangcheng, the Sanmen naturally had no resistance and could only admit defeat.

But in other places, it's hard to say.

Sure enough, three days later, Sanmen's revenge began.

A large number of ore materials used to make omnidirectional instruments were suddenly robbed.

Many mines were also damaged and forced to close.

This time, it wasn't just Anxi, members of Sanmen from many places attacked at the same time, robbing a total of more than a dozen batches of various materials.

Directly lead to the discontinuation of Vientiane.

The emperor was furious, reprimanded all the officials in the court, and ordered strict investigation and punishment.

In view of the serious infiltration of the local government office by Sanmen, and the fact that it was not equipped with a universal instrument, the imperial court directly took action this time.

Units of troops directly under the imperial court were mobilized, leaving Yangcheng, the capital, to "suppress bandits" in various places.

Not to be outdone, Sanmen frantically sent people to plunder the ore and destroy the mine.

They know that this is the last chance, if the Vientiane can be assembled smoothly, Sanmen will not be able to develop any further.

The madness at the end is especially intense.

There are 72 roads in Daxia, and the smoke is everywhere for a while.

Zhu Xiewei is only responsible for exterminating evil spirits, but can still stay out of the matter.

However, the chaotic situation gave Xie Chong an opportunity to take advantage of, and there were more cases to investigate.

Song Yun soon had a new task——

A suspicious situation occurred in Minzhou, a city in Longyou Road. The city lord suddenly closed the whole city without revealing any reason, and did not allow outsiders to enter.

For three consecutive days, Minzhou remained in isolation, and the internal situation was unknown.

Governor Longyou tried to force his way in, but failed.

Zhu Xiewei stationed in Longyou went to investigate and found a faint black air over Minzhou, which he judged to be suspected of being a ghost.

Longyou has a lot of minerals, and it is the main area of ​​conflict between Sanmen and the imperial court.

Most of the local troops went to encircle and suppress Sanmen, and there was nothing they could do about Minzhou for a while.

At this time, Song Yun needed to act.

Song Yun had performed similar tasks several times, and was already familiar with the process. After receiving the order, he immediately mobilized the Xiexie Guards from the headquarters.

To complete the task, he alone is enough, and no one else is needed.

Only 20 people were transferred to be responsible for the fight.

Immediately departing, he flew directly out of Yangcheng and hurried to Minzhou.

Twenty Xiexie Guards rode out on fast horses and galloped towards the northwest.

Soon they couldn't even see Song Yun's shadow, but they were not in a hurry, because it was like this every time. When they arrived, Song Yun had finished the task and went home, and they were finishing the work and writing the report.

Two hours later, Song Yun flew thousands of miles and arrived at the city of Minzhou.

Outside the city, there was a garrison of Longyou Road stationed, waiting for the Xiexie Guards to arrive. The chief general saw the figure in the sky, and hurried out of the camp and shouted:
"General Song, here!"

Song Yun landed slowly, first took out the steering wheel and the evil mirror, and took a picture of Minzhou City. …

Sure enough, there was black air.

"There is a vaguely familiar atmosphere inside? Who is it?"

At this moment, the guard ran over with big strides and saluted: "General Song, we have been watching outside the city for two days, no one has come in or out, and there is no movement inside."

Song Yun: "You stay here and don't move around, I'll go in and have a look."

It soared into the sky again, approaching the city wall of Minzhou.

There is a special kind of fluctuation in the surrounding invisible, which will make the speed of progress slower and slower, and finally close to stagnation.

The guard at the back also shouted: "There is a strange formation here. Our governor has also tried it, and it is impossible to break in."

But the next moment, Song Yun took a step, and with a swipe, the figure disappeared outside the city.

Only the general who stayed behind stared blankly in place.

"Go in now? That's right, this is someone who can crush Marshal Chu."

The guard was surprised and felt a lot more relieved.

Song Yun crossed the city wall, landed in the street, and looked back.

"It's another space formation..."

It's just different from Cangshan's formation, the effect of this one is not space shuttle, but the expansion and contraction of space.

In a certain direction, the space continues to expand, causing the movement speed to slow down.

Sometimes, the distance of a few steps is like the ends of the earth, and it will take a lifetime to walk.

It is indeed a heavenly ghost who can apply the way of space to such a situation, but it should not be the one from Cangshan.

Song Yun looked around and saw that there was no one on the street, and the whole city was desolate and deserted, like a dead city.

Just as he was planning to find a few private houses to see if the people were in the house, suddenly there were soft footsteps in front of him.

Song Yun raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, looking from afar.

At the end of the street came a man.

She has slender eyebrows, is dressed in Tsing Yi, and has an elegant demeanor.

Seeing that pair of exaggerated long eyebrows, Song Yun immediately remembered that he had seen this person last year.

San Sect Master, Li Qingshan!

"Why, Sanmen got mixed up with Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Ghost?" Song Yun put his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes were not friendly.

The reason for the struggle between Sanmen and the imperial court is the Nine-Rank Qualification Law and the World's Forbidden Martial Arts. In essence, it is the right of ordinary people to practice, and has nothing to do with evil spirits.

So Song Yun had no intention of intervening, and was even a little inclined to leave the door.

However, if Sanmen and the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Ghost are in the same boat, then he will never be polite, and he will kill if he can.

Sensing the cold murderous intent in the air, Li Qingshan didn't panic, and said with a smile:

"General Song misunderstood. Xie Chong takes pleasure in creating death and harms the common people. He is also an enemy of Sanmen."

"I heard that you will come to solve the anomaly in Minzhou, so I came here on purpose."

"Are you here to look for me?" Song Yun slightly raised his eyebrows, "Why, you still want to drag me into Sanmen?"

"Of course, you are the one who single-handedly crushed the dragon elephant, and now you are recognized as the strongest venerable." Li Qingshan smiled and pointed to the intersection next to him, "It's urgent, let's talk while walking."

"Where to go?"

"The City Lord's Mansion."

Song Yun nodded, and walked side by side with Li Qingshan.

Although he wouldn't believe someone after hearing a few words, Song Yun wasn't afraid of any conspiracies. …

Li Qingshan's strength is not bad, Ghost Immortal has nine lightning calamities, and he is still in the middle stage of martial arts.

But now Song Yun is at the peak of his strength, approaching the threshold of immortality, and he has full confidence in killing him.

Even, Song Yun wished for a few powerful opponents to fight to the death, so as to assist in killing and proving the way.

As if sensing a dangerous aura, Li Qingshan couldn't help but moved two steps to the side, and said with a wry smile:

"General Song, I really have no malicious intentions, can you stop killing me?"

Song Yun was not embarrassed, he patted the hilt of the sword lightly, "Then I won't kill you, but kill Xie Chong."

Hearing this, Li Qingshan's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, really want to kill him?
Passing by a row of residential houses at this time, Song Yun waved his hand to bring the wind and opened all the doors.

There was no one there.

"I checked just now, and this city is empty." Li Qingshan said.

Song Yun wondered, "There are 70 people in Minzhou, where can they hide?"

There is not only a space formation in this Minzhou city, but also faint black air permeating the air, hindering his perception, and the situation in the city is completely concealed.

Li Qingshan looked ahead, his face was a little dignified, "There is a Jing River in Minzhou City, which runs through the west and east, and flows through the City Lord's Mansion. I feel that there is a problem there."

Guixian's perception ability is far stronger than that of Martial Saints. Li Qingshan's words have some reference value. Song Yun has no direction now, so he just went to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look.

The two flew close to the ground and quickly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

Before arriving, you can hear the murmur of the water, and the Jinghe River is already in front of you.

The riverside was crowded with people, and the overlapping figures formed one piece.

The tens of 10 people in the city seem to be concentrated on both sides of the river.

The sound of falling into the water continued to sound.

Song Yun took a closer look, his face darkened immediately.

All the people were expressionless and silent, they lined up quietly and were jumping into the river one by one, just like dumpling.

Looking at the river again, dead bodies were soaked white, bobbing up and down, with pale faces facing the sky, staring at the empty eyes, and heading towards the City Lord's Mansion along the water.

It is impossible to count, but looking at it like this, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people have become sacrifices to heavenly ghosts.

This situation is much more serious than last year's Rongzhou City.

Last year, the sky ghost sneaked into Rongzhou to cause trouble, Song Yun rushed out of Cangshan in time, and led people to Rongzhou.Only half an hour later, the defenders and officials of Rongzhou suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, not many civilians died.

But now, Tiangui took advantage of the imperial court and Sanmen's war in Longyou, successfully controlled Minzhou for three days, and the civilians had suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan became anxious, and quickly cast a few spells to control the people to leave the river bank.

But the efficiency is very low, only hundreds of people can be saved.

Over there, hundreds of thousands of people are still lining up to jump into the river.

"What should I do?" He frowned.

With a clang, Song Yun next to him had already drawn his sword.

Amidst the howling of swords, a strong will that traversed the entire world swayed out.

One sword is peerless, one sword destroys life.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered by the river, so that the sword intent could be highly concentrated, and Sword Six "cut the common people" took advantage of the situation.

The sword light soared into the sky, and the cold air rose everywhere.

The people were like harvested wheat, falling down in rows. Because it was too crowded, they fell one after another, but no one moved.

Song Yun's sword cut off everyone's qi, causing hundreds of thousands of people to fall into a state of suspended animation.

Unable to move, unable to jump into the river, Tian Gui could not draw strength from the deaths of these people.

Of course, this is only temporary. If the sky ghost cannot be dealt with quickly, the suspended animation will slowly turn into a real death.

In the distance, in the City Lord's Mansion, an extremely angry roar sounded.

"over there!"

Song Yun rushed over with his sword.

Li Qingshan glanced at the scene by the river in horror, then turned and followed.

In the city lord's mansion, on a piece of flat ground, the ground is engraved with complicated black patterns, forming a large formation.

The city lord Gao Quan stood in the formation, and from all directions, streams of black energy surged in and merged into his body continuously.

But soon, the source of black air was cut off, because no people jumped into the river.

Gao Quan opened his eyes and stared angrily at the two people outside.

Over the city lord's mansion, a cloud of dark clouds quickly formed, the thick and deep black seemed to be able to swallow everything, which made people feel dizzy.

"Come on, this evil spirit has absorbed too many sacrifices, and its combat power has grown too fast." Li Qingshan's face changed slightly, feeling a lot of pressure.
