Chapter 478 Accompanying Order
In Fenghai County, outside the collapsed prison department in the county capital, Xu Qing walked out with a gloomy expression.

He looked up at the dilapidated county capital above, and flew away in a flash, and soon arrived at the capital of the county capital, heading straight for the station of the Eight Sect Alliance.

The incomplete buildings along the way kept coming into Xu Qing's sight. Obviously, yesterday's upheaval had a great impact on this bustling capital.

And the bustling crowds on the streets are much less now. Among the sparse pedestrians walking in a hurry, Xu Qing saw hesitation, bewilderment, nervousness and fear.

The bizarre death of the sheriff was already enough to make people panic, but the collapse of the prison chief was even more shocking. Coupled with the spread of the Shenglan tribe's invasion, these people's hearts were aroused. haze.

There are even some monks here, but they can't hide the panic in their expressions. After all, not all of them are sword holders.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and galloped all the way.

Soon came to the resident of the Eight Sects Alliance.

With Zixuan sitting in the town, the branch sect is still intact, but at the moment most of the alliance disciples inside are packing their bags, as if preparing to go out.

Xu Qing glanced over without pausing, and went straight to Zixuan Shangxian's residence, where he saw Zixuan and his best friend Li Shitao.

The two looked solemn and were discussing important matters. After seeing Xu Qing, Zixuan's gloomy face revealed a touch of softness.

"Xu Qing, I'm going to look for you later. I received an urgent call from the sect, so I can't stay here. I have to send it back today."

"The ban on corpses has broken out. The Palace of Holding Swords has issued an order to Yinghuang Prefecture, ordering all clan sects in Yinghuang Prefecture to resist the disaster of ban on corpses." Zixuan's voice was dignified.

Xu Qing's heart sank when he heard the words. He was the first to discover the matter of the corpse confinement, so he naturally knew what happened there.

"Actually, the Eight Sect Alliance and the Jianjian Court already knew that the Shenglan clan was behind the corpse ban disaster, and they also took precautions, so you don't have to worry too much about your master."

"And the purpose of the Shenglan clan's detonation of the corpse ban is also revealed today, to contain the forces of some states in Fenghai County."

"Xu Qing, it's been an eventful period of time. You are by the side of the Lord of the Sword Holding Palace. It should be safer than outside. So this time I didn't ask you to come back together. You must be more vigilant here..."

Concern appeared in Zi Xuan's eyes, and he took out three jade slips and handed them to Xu Qing.

"One is concealment, which is the same as the concealment I drew for you before, and the other is a large-scale teleportation talisman, which you can use to avoid danger at critical moments."

"The last one contains a ray of my divine sense, which can resist a fatal blow for you."

Xu Qing's heart was agitated, and after taking it silently, he also took out some ten-gut tree Dao fruit and handed it over. After all, this thing has miraculous effects in refining weapons and alchemy. The abundance of materials in the Sword-holding Palace is not urgently needed, but for the Eight Sects Alliance , the role of these Dao fruits is not small.

Zixuan was also moved when he saw it, and he didn't show politeness to Xu Qing. After putting it away, he gave some instructions, until an hour later, after all the branch sects were sorted out, under Xu Qing's watch, the branch sects of the Eight Sects Alliance left.

Before leaving, Zixuan looked back at Xu Qing many times, and the two looked at each other until they took a last look at each other beside the teleportation formation. As the light dispersed, Zixuan and the sect disciples disappeared.

Li Shitao was clearly preoccupied, after Zixuan left, she nodded to Xu Qing and left in a hurry.

Looking at the empty teleportation array, Xu Qing's expression gradually became numb. He used to be very familiar with this feeling, as if he had returned to the time when he was alone in the slums.

"It's time to report to the Sword Holding Palace." Xu Qing murmured, and when he turned to leave, the dusk light fell on his Taoist robe, turning bloody, and stretching his figure very long.

As dusk passed and night fell, Xu Qing came to the Palace of Holding Swords.

When he appeared, Kong Xianglong, who received his voice transmission, flew at full speed from the Palace of Holding Swords, and when he approached Xu Qing for the first time, his eyes showed surprise.

Apparently, the change in Xu Qing's cultivation was noticed by Kong Xianglong. After all, compared with when he left before, Xu Qing had changed so much that Kong Xianglong felt as if he was facing a Nascent Soul.

If it were any other time, Kong Xianglong would definitely have asked curiously, but the drastic changes in the county capital now made him not in the mood, so he opened his mouth in a low voice as he approached.

"Xu Qing, a message came from the border just now. The power of the taboo magic weapon cannot completely stop the army of the Shenglan tribe, but only slightly slows down their steps."

"Let's go, the sword bearers are returning one after another. Tonight, the palace master will arrange a battle plan for the sword bearers in all the counties."

"Now...you are the real entourage." Kong Xianglong stared at Xu Qing, and spoke softly.

Xu Qing nodded calmly, he knew very well that within the identity of a pawn, his original position was the accompanying order of the palace lord.

The facts are indeed as Kong Xianglong said, shortly after Xu Qing stepped into the Palace of Holding Swords, he received a summon from the Palace Master.

In the depths of the Sword Holding Palace, in the Sword Holding Hall, Xu Qing, who arrived immediately without any delay, saw the Palace Master of the Sword Holding Palace standing in front of a huge light and shadow map with bloodshot eyes and an extremely serious expression.

There was some blood on the body of the palace lord, and the sense of exhaustion on his body was also very strong. It was obvious that he had not rested at all since the drastic changes in the county capital until now.

There are seven or eight sword bearers around it, the four major deacons and the deputy palace masters are all there, everyone has injuries of varying degrees, the most serious are the two deputy palace masters.

This is the trauma they suffered yesterday when they suppressed the Prisoner God together with the palace lord. Now they have no time to recover and are accepting the palace lord's dispatch and arrangement.

Following the palace lord's order, the four major deacons and the two deputy palace lords said yes with serious expressions, and each left one after another. When they passed by Xu Qing, most of them nodded to him with deep meaning in their eyes.

After half an hour, when there were no other people in the hall, the Palace Master withdrew his gaze from the map of light and shadow, and turned to look at Xu Qing with a stern expression.

"Xu Qing, the sword bearer, is here to report." Xu Qing clasped his fists and bowed solemnly.

"Xu Qing, is there any problem with sorting out the list of those who have returned to hold the sword, finding out who hasn't returned, finding out the reason, and arranging the meeting at midnight?"

The palace lord spoke in a deep voice.

"Respect the decree of the law." Xu Qing said solemnly.

The palace lord nodded and ignored Xu Qing, he had too many things to deal with, the current Fenghai County had internal and external troubles, and all the burdens fell on him when the county guard fell.

Knowing how to behave, Xu Qing bowed and left. After walking out of the hall, he took out his command sword and started to get busy according to the palace master's instructions.

The identity of the accompanying book order is worthy of the name at this moment. He has the authority to query any records, and all sword holders must cooperate, but his strength alone is somewhat insufficient, so after pondering, Xu Qing sent a voice transmission to Kong Xianglong.

Soon Kong Xiang, Long Shanhezi, Wang Chen, and Ye Ling all came to Xu Qing's place. With their cooperation, Xu Qing quickly sorted out the list of participants and the reason why the palace lord asked for not returning.

In the end, one hour before the meeting, the meeting at midnight was set and ready to leave the venue, and he notified all the sword holders with his own authority.

"By the order of the palace master, I inform all the sword holders to attend the meeting at the first square in the east area of ​​the Sword Palace!" Xu Qing's voice echoed in the command swords of all the sword holders at this moment.

This was his first real voice as an accompanying shuling.

Soon, the midnight is approaching.

On the first square of the Eastern District, all the sword-wielders arrived quickly, and there was no need to organize order. The sword-wielding palace was originally strictly disciplined. At this moment, nearly [-] sword-wielders were standing there, densely packed and orderly at the same time. Out of a long line.

No one spoke, only the intent to kill rose in everyone's heart, most of their eyes contained anger, and they were more persistent.

The death of the county guard, the collapse of the prison department, and the coming of war, these series of events will not make the sword bearers fear, but will only make them more murderous.

At this moment, the aura gathered together and filled all directions, and the sky was pulled by this vortex, and it started to rotate rumblingly.

When the momentum was astonishing, the four major deacons and the deputy palace lords descended one after another, and the one who finally appeared in front of all the sword holders was the palace lord with a serious expression and a calm expression.

And Xu Qing followed behind the Palace Master.

As the gazes of all the sword holders gathered, Xu Qing's figure also came into everyone's eyes. He was expressionless, and stopped three feet away from the palace lord, standing there silently, looking at the palace lord.

The palace lord's eyes swept across the crowd below, and after a while, a deep voice echoed in all directions.

"Sword bearers, the war has come."

"The Shenglan clan's ambitions for our human race, Fenghai County, have not stopped for countless years, and this is not the first time they have launched a war, but without exception, they all failed!"

"And in the last millennium, I and the deceased county governor, including all those in power, have long been prepared to face this battle."

"Even though the first batch of enemy troops from the Red Spirit Dynasty and the Moon Mist Dynasty have entered Fenghai County, I am full of confidence."

"If everyone is loyal to their duties, does not make any mistakes, and arranges everything carefully, we can prove that we can protect Fenghai County like the martyrs of Fenghai County in the past, and we can win in the storm of war. Survive the threat of Shenglan."

"And with the help of the Fengxing Palace, 370 nine allied clans, including the Holy Demon Clan, will also participate in this war together, and the Near Immortal Clan also chose to block the ancestors of the entire clan under my personal communication this morning. land, don’t go half a step.”

"So in this war, we are actually not vulnerable." The Palace Master spoke calmly, without any passionate tone, but spoke slowly.

"But there are also some things you need to know."

"Today, two things happened in our royal domain, which is extremely far away from Fenghai County."

"One, the new county guard and reinforcements appointed by the Human Emperor were supposed to arrive tomorrow in the way of domain teleportation, but they were intercepted by the Heitian Clan on the road at noon today, and their lives and deaths are unknown."

"Second, the army of the Heitian clan is approaching the human imperial realm, and the wind and rain are coming, so in a short period of time, Fenghai County has to face the invasion of foreign enemies on its own."

"So, it could be a long game."

"So, it's probably a one-man battle."

"In any case, this is the situation we have to face, but it does not affect our determination to defend to the death, because there is no retreat."

"The thirteen prefectures have now been occupied by the army of the Shenglan tribe, but the power of the taboo magic weapon in Fenghai County has been fully activated to block it, forming a stalemate and buying some time."

"During this time, we have to solve several problems."

"Corpse ban and clothing ban, the two places are in chaos, and the power of some states is dispersed. This is the purpose of the Shenglan clan."

"The prison department collapsed and the prisoner escaped from prison. All of this will surely bring disaster to Fenghai County and cause us internal and external troubles. This is also the goal of the Shenglan clan."

The sound of heavy breathing came from the mouths of one hundred thousand sword holders, and the words of the Palace Master made everyone, including Xu Qing, truly realize the danger of Fenghai County like a raging wave and storm.

But the calmness of the palace lord's voice was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, slowly calming everyone's hearts, only the chill and determination kept rising.

Looking at the crowd, the Palace Master's voice paused, and he spoke lightly.

"Don't be afraid, the sky is falling, I'll take it up!"
