Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 373 - 264: Borrowing the Qi Fortune of One County to Suppress and Kill the Evil Spirit!_2

While both groups conducted their investigations, the Hidden Guard were also discreetly searching in the shadows.

Any news at all,

would be delivered to Gu Yang’s hands at the first opportunity.

Ten days later,

as Gu Yang presided over a morning court session, his expression suddenly changed. He saw divine light emanating from the Jade Seal in his hand, and a resolute voice issued forth,

“Today, an Evil Spirit causes chaos in Shenhe County, invoking a natural disaster, rendering the lives of the common folk unbearable. The Prefectural Governor of Shenhe County, Tao Heng, petitions Your Majesty to lend the Qi Fortune of one county to vanquish the Evil Spirit!”

“Granted!”

Gu Yang uttered a single word.

In an instant,

the Capital trembled.

A vision of the Grade Three Green Lotus emerged in the void, a rolling torrent of Qi Fortune, converging towards Wuzhou.

At the same time,

above the sky of Wuzhou,

a bronze ancient tripod suddenly materialized.

At the moment the ancient tripod appeared, Nanyue Mountain, covered in blood, revealed an ecstatic expression.

“The Wuzhou Tripod!”

“The Emperor himself has taken action to suppress the Evil Spirit!”

Nanyue Mountain would naturally not forget the existence of the Nine Tripods.

When the Nine Tripods reflected across the Nine States, eradicating all malevolent spirits, they became deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.

Now,

the reappearance of one of the Nine Tripods, the Wuzhou Tripod, naturally filled Nanyue Mountain with overwhelming joy.

At this moment,

he found himself in a vast expanse of crimson land. Many of the Heavenly Patrol Guard and court soldiers lay dead, their Essence Blood drained, their manner of death extremely tragic.

Even Nanyue Mountain himself had suffered a severe injury on first encounter.

If not for a protective treasure on his person, he would have likely perished on the spot by now.

Turning to look at Tao Heng,

who was originally a Great Grandmaster, he now harnessed the Qi Fortune of the entire Shenhe County, his Cultivation rising rapidly, and in a mere moment, he shattered the barrier of a Great Grandmaster, stepping directly into the Divine Transformation Realm.

Moreover,

he broke through to the Fifth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm in one go.

As a result,

before Nanyue Mountain could indulge in much triumph, he saw Tao Heng, with an overwhelming momentum comparable to the Divine Transformation Realm Fifth Level, severely injure the Evil Spirit with a single palm strike.

Just as the Evil Spirit was about to slay Tao Heng, the Nine States Tripod thundered down, wrapped in the force of one county’s Qi Fortune, pressing down upon the Evil Spirit.

“Boom!”

An earth-shattering disturbance erupted.

The creature, only two to three feet in length, with a bare body and eyes above its head, resisted the bronze ancient tripod with its greenish-brown arms, releasing an immensely terrifying aura, which swept through the four corners of heaven and earth.

This scene,

turned both Nanyue Mountain’s and Tao Heng’s faces grim, with even a hint of horror in their eyes.

“What in the world is this thing, that even the Wuzhou Tripod cannot suppress it?”

Nanyue Mountain’s face was filled with disbelief.

One of the Nine Tripods, a divine artifact of the nation, carrying the terrifying Qi Fortune of a whole state, could suppress even cultivators above the Seventh Level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

However,

now the Wuzhou Tripod could do nothing against the Evil Spirit before them.

Such strength left Nanyue Mountain profoundly shaken.

What was more crucial,

as the Evil Spirit struck out with a punch, the Wuzhou Tripod trembled violently, and faint cracks began to appear on its bronze body as if it could shatter at any moment.

“Flee!”

“We cannot overpower this Evil Spirit!”

Tao Heng immediately made the decision, disregarding the severity of his injuries, he turned tail and ran.

Seeing this,

Nanyue Mountain also straightforwardly bolted with him.

Though the Heavenly Patrol Guard acted on behalf of Heaven to punish evil upon the world and suppress it with all their might,

But such matters also depend on the situation.

The Evil Spirit that appeared this time was completely beyond my ability to contend with. If I truly had stayed, let alone stopping the Evil Spirit, I feared that I would have become its food at first encounter.

One could not ignore.

Tao Heng, who utilized the Qi Fortune of Shenhe County to boost his cultivation to rival the Divine Transformation Realm Fifth Level, could not withstand the opponent’s single move.

Even the Wuzhou Tripod, as mighty as it was, had been cracked by its one punch.

The depths of Nanyue Mountain understood well that such an existence was beyond its ability to oppose.

——

Upon the court assembly.

The court officials were silent.

Everyone was looking at the Third Rank Green Lotus Illusion until after it disappeared, and then they withdrew their gazes.

“Your Majesty, may I ask if the Prefectural Governor of Shenhe County has already suppressed the Evil Spirit?”

A minister asked with clasped hands.

Upon speaking.

Gu Yang’s face darkened; he did not reply but directly summoned someone.

“Shi Zhen!”

“Your humble servant is present!”

Shi Zhen, who had been silent all along, immediately stepped forward.

With a wave of Gu Yang’s hand, a black ancient banner appeared, which then fell in front of the other party.

“You must take this and go to Wuzhou immediately to suppress the Evil Spirit; you must not fail!”

“Your servant obeys the command!”

Shi Zhen did not say much, solemnly took up the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and then turned around and left.

Afterward.

Gu Yang looked at the others and said coldly, “The disturbance caused by the Evil Spirit in Shenhe County proves that Evil Spirits are not yet eradicated from the Nine States. Transmit my command, starting today, we shall thoroughly investigate the Nine States to track down all the lurking Evil Spirits.

I want all these beings pulled out and eradicated completely!!”

This time.

He was truly enraged.

Although Gu Yang was in the court and could not see the situation in Wuzhou, just from the changes in Qi Fortune alone, he had understood that Tao Heng had not suppressed that Evil Spirit.

Clearly.

The natural disaster in Wuzhou was also related to this Evil Spirit.

The previous change in the celestial patterns had already squandered a portion of the Qi Fortune, and this time, Tao Heng, with the aid of the Qi Fortune of Shenhe County, had wasted another portion of the Qi Fortune.

Against the same Evil Spirit, squandering the dynasty’s Qi Fortune twice had once again delayed the step for the Divine Martial Dynasty to ascend to an imperial dynasty. How could Gu Yang not be furious?

Moreover—

Given that even Tao Heng could not resolve that Evil Spirit, the situation in Shenhe County could only be imagined.

Who knew how many more people would die or be injured by the time Shi Zhen reached Shenhe County.

Hence.

From any perspective.

Gu Yang wished he could flay and dismember that Evil Spirit himself.

Similarly.

This incident in Shenhe County also made Gu Yang realize another problem.

If there could be an Evil Spirit lurking in Wuzhou, then other places might also have hidden Evil Spirits.

If that was the case.

Gu Yang naturally intended to root out all these Evil Spirits.

Otherwise.

If the events in Wuzhou were to repeat, that was something Gu Yang could never accept.

The hundreds of officials in the court no longer dared to speak much, all bending down to accept Gu Yang’s command.

“Dismiss the court!”

Gu Yang stood up and strode away elegantly.

Seeing this, the other officials also all bent down and withdrew.

However.

Though the court assembly had dispersed, the expressions on everyone’s faces were somewhat gloomy.

The reappearance of the long-absent Evil Spirit reminded some of them of unpleasant memories.

One minister sighed, “With the reemergence of the Evil Spirit in Wuzhou, who knows how long stability will last in this world!”

“Lord Chen, be cautious with your words!”

Upon hearing this, someone’s face changed instantly, and he immediately hushed the speaker in a low voice. The other, as if realizing the gravity, turned quite pale and dared not speak recklessly again.

At this time.

Another person said, “A mere Evil Spirit cannot overturn the heavens. Gentlemen, let us not forget that our Divine Martial Dynasty still has the Supreme Emperor.”

“If that Evil Spirit truly brings disaster upon the world, the Supreme Emperor would surely take action personally. At that time, dealing with a single Evil Spirit would surely be an easy matter.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others also became clear.

Right!

They had almost forgotten—the greatest foundation of the court nowadays was the Supreme Emperor.

As long as he remained, the sky of the Divine Martial Dynasty was destined not to fall.

It was just the sudden news of the Evil Spirit that had confused some of them, hence why they hadn’t thought of this.
