Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 556 What’s human life worth?
Juan’s words were exactly what Yang Qian was worried about.

Just like what Xu Hai said in his last words, the entire cultivation world is now in a war, and the Five Thunder Palace seems to be the key, but in fact, all the major sects in the world are eyeing Shuangqing Prefecture.

Moreover, Shuangqing Mansion is now not only the lifeblood of Wulei Palace, but also crucial to Mugu.

A weak beast is not safe in a pack. If you want to survive, you must at least make yourself look like you are fighting hard. In this way, even if you get bitten off a few pieces of flesh, at least you can save your life and not be torn to pieces by other beasts.

So now compared to Yang Qian, Mugu is actually the most anxious. He is anxious to prove that he still has strength and is not a sick tiger.

There were a total of four people who came to Mugu in Shuangqing Prefecture. The first group was three disciples in the Jindan realm, who came with the order of the Hongwu Dynasty. Yang Qian thought they were thieves and chopped them down.

The second person to splash was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, who was also killed before he even had time to bubble up.

The third and fourth waves were actually wars between the cultivation world. After all, flying boats were used, and seven semi-immortals were dispatched.

In terms of the fighting power alone, Shuangqing Prefecture is actually much stronger than Wulei Palace.

In other words, at this time Yang Qian could already be compared with the overall combat power of the Five Thunder Palace, and was even significantly stronger.

Then, could the arrangement of these magic arrays be the five methods that Mu Gu launched against Shuangqing Prefecture?

"You said before that those stone tablets were discovered by patrolling scouts in Sanhua Town, and the locations where they were found were very hidden?"

Juan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sir, patrol scouts have patrol routes. They mainly check the mountains and forests near the official roads to see if there are any traces of bandits or evil spirits. They will not go to those truly deep mountains and old forests where there are few people."

"So the tablets aren't hidden, are they?"

"Now that the lord has said this, it is indeed true."

After answering, Juan also realized the problem: As a dignified immortal sect, and a top force among the immortal sects, if they really wanted to deploy something to target Shuangqing Prefecture, could it be discovered by the patrolling scouts of Sanhua Town?
Such a large stone tablet, which was burned, was standing so conspicuously in the woods not far from the official road?
The more Juan thought about it, the more it seemed like it had been put there on purpose.

"Sir, are you saying that those stone tablets are traps?" Although Juan didn't know the twists and turns, he knew that the enemy had set up such an obvious trap with bad intentions. The people in Zhenshan Camp couldn't handle it, so it was hard to say whether it was a bait to lure Yang Qian over.

Then an ambush? Or lure the tiger away from the mountain and take the opportunity to raid Shuangqing Prefecture?

Yang Qian shook his head and did not respond to Juan.

"Have the Zhenshan Camp copy the magic array patterns on the stone tablet and send it back quickly. I want to see something tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, go do your job. Don't let this matter spread in Zhenshan Camp."

"My subordinate understands!"

The next morning, Yang Qian went to the government office, and Hu An was waiting at the door of his office. As soon as he entered the door, he handed over the things that Yang Qian had arranged for Sanhua Town to send back yesterday.

Yang Qian unfolded it and frowned. Without even looking up, he waved his hand to dismiss Juan. He wanted to think about this thing carefully.

"Look at these patterns, they are not ordinary array structures, they are like the components of a complex large array." Yang Qian looked at the copied pattern in his hand and felt even more uneasy than before. This uneasiness was also reflected in Yang Qian's destiny. When he checked his destiny last night, he found that there were suddenly many more mists in the direction of his destiny that had never been there before. It even exceeded all the situations he had been able to spy on his destiny so far. There had never been so many mists representing variables in his destiny before.

Even when Yang Qian killed seven half-immortals from Dusk Valley, there was not so much mystery about his fate.

There were six patterns to copy, and two talismans were used to transmit them. After spreading them out, every detail was in place. Yang Qian looked at them one by one, and finally came to the conclusion: these magic arrays are definitely a complex large-scale array, and the grade is very high!
Use this kind of large formation as bait?

It takes a lot of effort to set up a large formation. In addition, these cornerstones are protected by offensive and defensive spells, which will consume a lot of energy. All of this will ultimately be borne by the person who sets up the formation.

Do you put so much thought into using it as bait?

Two possibilities.

One of them was indeed a bait, to lure Yang Qian away from Shuangqing Prefecture, a place with poisonous spiritual energy, and then capture or kill him outside.

Secondly, it is a bait but not entirely. It would be best if it could lure Yang Qian away from Shuangqing Mansion. If not, then why not actually set up a large formation and use the power of the formation to force Yang Qian? Or come up with some other means?
Just two days later, Yang Qian received a total of 37 copies of stone tablet patterns. At the same time, according to the report from Zhenshan Camp, which had explored in the past, all 37 stone tablet patterns were found on the border of Shuangqing Prefecture, and it was obvious that they were deliberately arranged along the border.

After studying all the thirty-seven stone tablet patterns, Yang Qian finally saw some things. Although they were not detailed, he felt that they would not be too far beyond his judgment.

What Yang Qian saw from these thirty-seven patterns was a huge skyfire formation. This kind of formation usually appears on an alchemy furnace or a refining furnace.

"Are you going to use the entire Shuangqing Mansion as a furnace and burn every blade of grass, tree, person, and animal in Shuangqing Mansion to ashes?!"

Yang Qian had never thought that someone would use the Sky Fire Formation on a large formation. First, it was too difficult to do so. Second, it consumed too much energy. Third, how to control such a large range of Sky Fire?

But now, after seeing these thirty-seven patterns, Yang Qian realized that he had thought too simply about the immortal gate of the cultivation world.

"However, with such a vicious heart, is he worthy of being called an immortal?" Yang Qian could not hide his anger. He did not care that the people of Mugu were using force against him, but he was ashamed that they could not do anything to him and wanted to burn all the living beings in Shuangqing Prefecture to death.

How is this vicious thought different from the evil way?
What was even more troublesome was the time. Yang Qian didn't know how long it would take to set up the formation. There wasn't much he could do, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Go to the Dharma Tower to look for a chance to break through? After all, there are still three floors that have not been opened. At the beginning, Yang Ding and Zhu Hongchan were sure that there would be a chance to break through to the fusion realm there.

Or should he continue to look for a new technique suitable for him in the Jade Disc of inheritance of the Sword and Blade Sect?
But the time in the Dharma Tower was different, and Yang Qian was a little worried that he would miss things outside. That would be too unfair.

However, the contents of the Jade Disc of the Sword and Blade Sect's inheritance were too many and too complicated. He had been looking for a method that suited him for a long time. He had found a lot of experience and knowledge, but still had not found a suitable method.

Days passed one by one, and Yang Qian no longer smiled. He stayed in the secret room all day and didn't even come out to eat.

"My husband hasn't come out for three days. Why is the weather getting hotter? Isn't it almost winter? Why is it so abnormal?"

Holding her stomach, Fang Yuan sat back in the gazebo in the backyard, looking at the strange heat wave outside, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Fang Yuan didn't know that she felt hot even when she was at home all day, and people working outside felt the strangeness of the weather. Especially this kind of heat is not just a physical sensation, but an all-round temperature rise.

Normally, even in the hottest summer, the water in the deep well is cool. But now, when it should be getting cooler, the water in the deep well has become warmer than usual.
