Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 425: Return to the Sword Realm
Cui Mingsheng's idea was a good one. At least from the perspective of the common people of Shuangqing Prefecture, setting up city defense arrays in all cities would definitely be able to keep the evil spirits out to a great extent. Even if the demon cultivators wanted to attack, they would not be able to come and go freely.

The original Huimu Pass renovation plan was suddenly expanded to all cities in Shuangqing Prefecture and became the Shuangqing Prefecture New City Renovation Plan.

Looking at the entire Hongwu Dynasty, only the walls of the imperial city and the walls of the palace city within the imperial city were decorated with magic arrays. The rest of the cities only had ordinary high walls and thick bricks, which were designed to meet the needs of ordinary battles.

In fact, it was not that the Hongwu Dynasty did not have high requirements for defense, but because they had the protection of the Immortal Alliance, there was no need to spend a lot of money to ask the Immortal Master to set up a city defense array for the city. Anyway, the demons were not capable of doing crazy things like attacking the city and killing people under the Immortal Alliance's patrol eyes.

But it was different in Shuangqing Prefecture, where there was no Immortal Alliance or Sky Surveying Eye. Even though Yang Qian had calmed the situation down and the situation was still peaceful for the time being, who could guarantee what would happen in the future?
A dog will always eat shit. No one can tell whether the hungry demons or bandits will attack or massacre the city.

Therefore, if a sufficiently powerful magic array could be arranged on the city wall in Shuangqing Prefecture, it would indeed be able to enhance the sense of security of the people in the city, and it is also something that is urgently needed.

Of course, if there was no acting lord like Yang Qian who could set up a battle formation, Cui Mingsheng would not have mentioned this. After all, the cost of setting up a battle formation for the defense of a city is too high. The royal family felt the pain, and Shuangqing Prefecture could not afford it.

It would be a waste if you don’t use it now.

The only one who worked hard was Yang Qian. He had been working on this matter almost non-stop for more than a month. He once again circled around Shuangqing Prefecture and took care of some small groups of demons and bandits.

Compared to Huimuguan, the strength of the magic arrays in various cities does not need to be that high. Two layers of defense magic arrays are enough, and there is no need to add auxiliary magic arrays. Similarly, the terrain can ensure driving.

However, the scope of the city magic array is larger. After Yang Qian burned out the magic array pattern, the stonemasons who followed behind would have to spend time and effort to do it slowly. It is estimated that it would be difficult to complete the carving in less than half a year.

Yang Qian also took the opportunity to set up magic arrays everywhere to search for Zhou Zhong's whereabouts in various cities, but still found nothing.

The only stronghold was the one that Yang Qian had found out about Zhou Zhong's gang before, but the people there didn't know Zhou Zhong's whereabouts just like him.

Does this count as cutting off the clues and letting the big fish escape?

It is hard to say for now, but it seems that the situation is no longer under Yang Qian's control.

As for when to wait for Zhou Zhong, it depends on luck. And during this period, you can't touch those minions. It's time to test your patience.

After finishing the arrangement of the magic array in the city, even Cui Mingsheng had no reason to come to Yang Qian again, leaving Yang Qian with a rare period of free time.

Although he was free from work, he was not free from thoughts. Firstly, Zhou Zhong's whereabouts were unknown, and secondly, the purpose behind the Wanli Bamboo Sea was also unknown.

There is also a prerequisite for responding to ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged, and that is that you yourself must stand firm.

Originally, Yang Qian was very confident in his own strength, especially after he had the Sky-cutting Technique, he felt that he was invincible in the Out-of-Body Realm. He might not be defeated even if he fought alone against many enemies.

But when Yang Qian saw the magic black and red paper fan at Huimu Pass, his confidence disappeared.

Invincible in the Out-of-Body Realm? One magic weapon can make up for the difference in strength, but what if two similar magic weapons appear at the same time?
And who stipulated that there must not be an enemy above the Out-of-Body Realm? What if an enemy who breaks the destiny comes? Are we just going to stare blankly?

There is only one place Yang Qian can think of to deal with the situation now: the Sword Domain.

The first sword peak had given Yang Qian a killing method that could be called heaven-defying, which made Yang Qian ponder it for several months. Now that he was going back, he should try to explore deeper areas.

When they came to the nameless hillside again, it was already guarded by the people of Tianhan Sect, and some wooden houses were built. Yang Qian had informed Cui Mingsheng that the nearby two-mile mountain land had all been given to Jiang Yun, and the purpose was to build a temple to worship the founder of Tianhan Sect. But there was no rush to move now.

"Master Yang!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang!"

The disciples on guard immediately saluted when they saw Yang Qian. Now, including Jiang Yun, they all regarded the man in front of them as half of their own family.

Yang Qian nodded as a greeting. Just before he landed, he saw these two disciples fighting with each other with swords, which was a kind of skill polishing.

It seems that the remaining dozen or so people in the Tianhan Sect should have all realized the Dao of Intent and their sword intent has begun to take shape.

If a weapon cultivator has sword intent, then there is no problem in saying that his combat power is top-notch in the same realm. Even if he is compared with the disciples of the great sects of the Ten Thousand Ages, he will not be inferior. Of course, sword intent is not omnipotent just like knife intent. It is easy to capsize when encountering a powerful magic weapon.

The entrance and exit are now blocked by a wooden house. No one can see anything from the outside. It is also an extra layer of insurance for people entering and leaving.

Stepping into the realm of swords and sabers, Yang Qian was refreshed by the familiar yet strange feeling of sword intent carried by the air.

The divine consciousness spread out. Except for a few Tianhan Sect disciples who were resting in the safe area of ​​the stone beach, the rest were all practicing in the "trap" outside. Some were practicing far away, some were practicing near, according to their own speed of comprehension. Everyone was trying their best and did not dare to slack off at all.

When I saw Jiang Yun again, he was meditating on the side of the road far away from the rocky beach to recover his energy. He must have consumed too much energy, but he was reluctant to return to the rocky beach, so he meditated on the spot, and he probably had to fight again later.

"Brother Jiang?"

"Master Yang, you are here?"

"How's your comprehension going?" Yang Qian asked with a smile.

"Thanks to you, sir, I can now achieve the state where the sword intent is half a foot away from the blade, and I can also feel some vague rules of cutting." Jiang Yun's tone was filled with irrepressible excitement.

In the past, I always heard people describe how powerful the Way of Intention was. Now that I have mastered it myself, I realize that what I heard was all true, but it is still not enough to describe one percent of the power of the Way of Intention.

Not to mention those far away, just take the numerous sword peaks in this sword and knife domain. Jiang Yun couldn't even get close to the foot of the first sword peak at this moment. He was even more horrified as to how deep his connection of mind would be in order to fully explore this heaven-defying secret realm?
If we could really explore the entire secret realm, how powerful would we be? !

"My Lord, are you going to continue exploring this time?"

"Well, let's give it a try."

Bidding farewell to Jiang Yun, Yang Qian moved all the way to the first sword peak, then paused for a moment and continued forward.

After passing the first sword peak, the stabbing force of the sword in the air indeed rose again, but what was unexpected was that this rise was not a slow step-by-step rise like before, but a very steep straight line, increasing by nearly 40% in an instant!
