696 Cannibalistic World (3)
Xu Qing remained silent.
The scene of the first time he saw Night Spirit in the Sword Holding Palace appeared in his mind.
The young girl who was eating the flesh melon seeds, the young girl who told him that he could go to the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect to learn the Demon Transformation Art, the young girl who only had Kong Xianglong in her eyes and heart.
After a long time, Xu Qing sighed softly.
This world is cannibalistic. Xu Qing mumbled with mixed feelings.
A long time later, as Nihility experts walked out of the tent, including Xue Lianzi and the two great elders of the Sword Holding Courts, the Palace Masters voice rang out from the tent.
Xu Qing, come in.
Xu Qing stepped into the large tent.
The moment he entered, he saw the Palace Master seated in the center. He also saw a massive sand table formed by spells in the tent.
This sand table map outlined the entire western front with remarkable accuracy. He could see the Sky Ridge Mountain Range that served as a portion of the defense line.
The map extended across the entire western region, connecting with the northern front in undulating directions. Its range was extremely large.
This was to be expected, as it was a large-scale war encompassing a vast area.
Although this place was only a portion of the overall defense line, since the Palace Masters command center was at this place, this place became the core of the defense line.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and shifted his gaze away from the sand table to look at the Palace Master.
The Palace Master was clearly more haggard than before. His eyes were bloodshot and he had injuries on his body. The armor he had put on him back then was still on his body, as though he had never taken it off.
As for the baleful aura, it was even denser than before.
At that moment, he sat there, giving Xu Qing the feeling that he was like a peerless ferocious beast that had gathered the momentum of the entire army. He was constantly choosing people to devour, causing those who saw him to feel their hearts skip a beat.
Greetings, Palace Master. Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed.
Ive received the supplies you sent over earlier.
The Palace Master stared at Xu Qing. He seemed to want to retract the baleful aura on his body but the gathering of the armys fate prevented him from easily dissipating this baleful aura. Hence, he tried his best to make his expression gentler and his eyes revealed deep admiration.
I also know the reason why the troops of the two provinces are gathered. Youve made a great contribution this time!
Xu Qing lowered his head and calmly spoke.
This is what I should do. Also, regarding Mount Morning Glow, I...
Xu Qing had just finished speaking when the color of the sky outside changed. It was as though the stars had shifted and the ground was filled with killing intent. It trembled intensely, as though dragons and snakes had risen from the ground.
There were also waves of whistling sounds from the Holy Wave Race cultivators that echoed through the world.
After a short period of rest, the war erupted again!
The killing intent blew like a strong wind from the direction of the Sky Ridge Mountain Range, relentlessly pounding against the Taboo net of Fenghai County.
The golden net shook and emitted a piercing light.
The violence contained in this wind even swept through the ravines defense line and whistled past the tents of the human race in Fenghai County, causing countless tents to sway violently.
It also landed outside the Palace Masters large tent, blowing the tent flap open. The tent flap rapidly lifted inwards, revealing the sky filled with black clouds in the external world and countless bolts of lightning streaking across the sky.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out from the ground and the sky at the same time.
Xu Qings long hair fluttered in the wind. His mind seemed to have synchronized with his hair, as it shook with intense waves.
The sound was like the roars of countless behemoths, surpassing the lightning on the battlefield and echoing in all directions like a bell.
The Palace Master was expressionless but the baleful aura on his body became even more dense at this moment, causing the weather to change again. He stood up and threw a jade slip to Xu Qing before walking out of the tent.
This jade slip records some information about the battlefield. You can leave and study it first. Ill give you a day to familiarize yourself with the battlefield.
This is just a conventional battle, far from reaching the scale of a major war. How to familiarize with it? Grasp the details yourself.
In short, from tomorrow onwards, you will resume your duty as the edict bearer!
Xu Qing immediately nodded.
The Palace Master walked out of the large tent. At that moment, all the members of the Secretariat Department had returned. They stood solemnly and waited for the orders.
Xu Qing stood behind the Palace Master and looked at the distant battlefield. Other than the countless strange changes in the sky, he saw the Holy Wave Race cultivators rushing over like the sea.
Some of these cultivators were flying in the sky and some were speeding on the ground. They were all wearing armor and their killing intent was intense.
Their lineup was centered on the huge broken hands that had been activated. They were divided into several formations that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
Very soon, decrees rang out from the Palace Masters mouth. The human army of Fenghai County was like a ferocious beast that had woken up from a nap. At this moment, it opened its eyes and began to counterattack.
Xu Qing also cupped his fists and left. He was very clear that he, who had just arrived at the battlefield, didnt understand the rhythm of the war and the advantages and disadvantages of the various armies.
The position of the edict bearer wasnt something that could be casually controlled in this war. After all, other than issuing orders, they also needed to monitor the degree of completion and analyze and summarize it.
This required a detailed grasp of the details of the battlefield.
One day was actually not enough.
Even though the jade slip given by the Palace Master recorded the information of the battlefield, it was still not enough.
Therefore, in order to familiarize himself with the battlefield as soon as possible, he needed to find a vantage point that provided a comprehensive view of the battlefield. This position should allow him to observe the war from a macro perspective, while also allowing him to easily enter the battlefield.
