Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 555 Approaching
Yang Qian put down the talisman in his hand and sighed softly.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Fang Yuan put down the needle and thread in her hand. It was the first time she heard her husband sigh. She felt a little nervous, worried that something bad might happen.

Yang Qian shook his head and said, "It's a good thing, but it's not all good. The leader of the Five Thunder Palace, Xu Hai, has passed away."

Thinking of Xu Hai, Yang Qian had a deep impression of him. He was a pragmatic wise man, and one of the few cultivators who was familiar with the ways of the world.

When Yang Qian climbed the Thunder Mountain, Xu Hai gave him enough benefits, and had no intention of resolving the misunderstanding between Yang Qian and the Five Thunder Palace, which seemed very "fair". He told Yang Qian that the interior of the Five Thunder Palace was just like other places, full of small hills, and that he could deal with his grievances behind closed doors, but when the door was open, he still had to be united to the outside world.

Later, facing the heavy pressure from the Immortal Alliance, Xu Hai was equally fearless. He planned carefully and managed to carve out a way out of a dead end.

And the price was Xu Hai's own life.

The talisman contained a farewell letter from Xu Hai to Yang Qian. The words were very free and easy, and he frankly said that they would never meet again after this letter, and that the fact of life and death was really hard to force. Even though Yang Qian was thousands of miles away, he seemed to be able to feel Xu Hai's generosity and his willingness to face death.

But the letter also mentioned two things.

One of them is the "roots" mentioned once before. After breaking the encirclement of the Five Thunder Palace, Xu Hai will immediately send some disciples to Shuangqing Mansion and let Yang Qian make proper arrangements.

The second is that he hopes Yang Qian will help Wu Lei Palace more in the future because of their close relationship.

Third, Yang Qian can resolve the misunderstanding between him and Wu Lei Palace by himself, but Xu Hai hopes that Yang Qian can show some mercy and not go too far.

Yang Qian couldn't help sighing at the three requests. What if he was a half-immortal? What if he was the master of an immortal sect? He said he was seeking longevity and transcendence, but in the end, he couldn't become a plant or get rid of his obsession.

As long as there is obsession involved, life and death are sometimes no longer up to you.

"Ah? Doesn't that mean the Five Thunder Palace is going to be destroyed?" Fang Yuan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She had heard her husband talk about the great war in the cultivation world before, and she also knew that the Five Thunder Palace was the core of this war. But she didn't expect that in less than a month, the leader of the Five Thunder Palace died?
Yang Qian patted Fang Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "When Xu Hai dies, he will drag enough people to be buried with him. Although the Five Thunder Palace suffered heavy losses, it won."

"Won?"

"Well, big win!"

Yang Qian said this with certainty. Not only did he believe in Xu Hai's plan, but he also understood how different the thunder on Thunder Mountain that swallowed up the strange thundercloud would be.

Wang Zhen originally practiced thunder magic, and had also more or less come into contact with the destructive rules of the strange thunder on Thunder Mountain. He had a higher adaptability, which could even be considered a favorable environmental condition.

But it is different when the calamity thunder that has melted the rules of destruction falls on the semi-immortals in the fusion realm of Piaomiao Peak and the three sects of Tongyun, Heyun and Mingyang. The power is enhanced to the point where one plus one is greater than two.

Perhaps the two elders of Piaomiao Peak can hold on with their cultivation and magic weapons, but the semi-immortals in the fusion realm of Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects will definitely not be able to withstand it, and there is only one way to go, which is death!
Moreover, Xu Hai's plan was to have the Great Elder Zheng Jing attack the Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang sects immediately after breaking through the siege of Leiming Mountain, and cooperate with the Huangshan Sect and Songhu Villa who were already fighting fiercely with the three sects to destroy the three sects in one fell swoop and thus break the situation.

As for how things will change later, Xu Hai also gave Yang Qian his judgment.

The key lies in the extent to which Yang Qian's Shuangqing Mansion can deal with Mugu. The more miserable Mugu is, the easier it will be for Wulei Palace. Then Wulei Palace will unite with Shuangqing Mansion, and the new situation will be completely established.

So smart!

At this point, Yang Qian understood where Xu Hai's wisdom was. He had never thought of confronting those great sects. He had been trying to muddy the waters and make friends from the beginning. It was just that with the addition of Yang Qian, the big variable, the situation became unexpectedly smooth. "What a pity for all that experience!" Yang Qian sighed and felt heartbroken. If he was in Thunder Mountain, how much more experience could he have gained? Just counting the five semi-immortals, wouldn't it be millions of experience points?
After dinner, Yang Qian was planning to go out with his wife and mother. Recently, the night market in the state capital has become very lively, and Fang Yuan wanted to take a look. With Yang Qian accompanying her, she didn't have to worry about anything going wrong.

But before the family could leave, Juan showed up.

Fang Yuan was very understanding and said that they could go shopping tomorrow and that official business was the most important thing. So she went to the backyard with her mother-in-law to chat and continue discussing what clothes to sew for the baby.

Sitting down in the study, Yang Qian pointed to the teapot beside him and asked Juan to pour himself some water.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Sir, the brothers from Zhenshan Camp who went to Sanhua Town to investigate have returned with news." Juan said as he handed a talisman to Yang Qian.

"Hmm? So soon?" Yang Qian picked up the talisman and unfolded it to read. His expression changed slightly after reading a few lines of words.

The three people who went there were the Jindan realm cultivators who were most proficient in magic arrays in Zhenshan Camp. They went there riding on Qianli beasts. What they went to investigate were the matters concerning the strange stone tablets.

Sanhua Town is outside Shuangqing Prefecture, and is an area before entering the natural mountain range of Shuangqing Prefecture. It can be said to be right next to it. It is also the largest cargo distribution center in Shuangqing Prefecture.

Previously, patrol scouts in Sanhua Town discovered that along the border of Shuangqing Prefecture, there were many strange stone tablets, all of which were newly erected not long ago. If you get too close, you will be burned to death, whether it is plants or living people. This made the guards of Sanhua Town very uneasy.

However, Sanhua Town is close to Shuangqing Prefecture, and the Immortal Alliance does not care much about the affairs here, so the garrison commander of Sanhua Town asked Juan for help, and only then did the people from Zhenshan Camp go to investigate.

Now the investigation results are back.

The cornerstone of some kind of fire-attributed magic array that gathers spirits?
Is there a magical force guarding it that cannot be approached or destroyed?

Suspected it is the method of the immortal sect?

These were the reports from the people who went to investigate the Zhenshan Camp. Putting these three guesses together made Yang Qian feel something was not right.

Indeed, it is unlikely that independent cultivators, evil cultivators, or demon cultivators would set up an array in Shuangqing Mansion. Moreover, the means are so magical that even cultivators in the Jindan stage cannot get close to it, and they cannot see what its specific power is.

In this case, it is most likely the work of the Immortal Alliance.

The relationship between the Immortal Alliance and Yang Qian is obviously that of enemies rather than friends. Can anything good come from setting up an array around Shuangqing Prefecture?

"When will they come back?"

"In reply to your words, they are not planning to return for the time being. Because they found several similar cases in Sanhua Town, they rushed over to take a look. There should be new news coming back soon.

Sir, do you think this is Duskdale's trick?"
