“They were extracted by some unique secret technique, one of the three spirits and seven spirits.” Just as everyone was bewildered, a slightly lazy voice sounded, “What makes me more curious is, what is the meaning of what they are doing?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shu Zhihua holding a wine gourd. Her body was filled with the faint fragrance of spirit wine.
With a smile, she continued, “These people will not be taken away for no reason. The person who did this must have a motive.”
“He must want to use this strange secret technique to accomplish something beneficial to him.”
“For example…”
Shu Zhihua had lived for so many years. She had seen or heard many examples of demons wreaking havoc in the world.
After she thought of something, she faintly said, “The other party wants to use this strange secret technique to break through a stage that he hasn’t been able to break through for many years.”
“Such a large-scale, painstaking secret technique, perhaps to break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage?”
The information that Shu Zhihua’s every sentence revealed made people’s hair stand on end!
Especially the last sentence…
It made the faces of everyone present, except for the Golden Core puppet, change drastically.
Although what Shu Zhihua said was only a guess. it was also a more reliable guess at the moment. Otherwise, why would the demon do this?
From the Golden Core… To the Nascent Soul stage?
Hiss!
Did that not mean that the person who almost turned Yangqing County into a dead city was indeed a demon?
Moreover, it was a half-step Nascent Soul stage demon at the tenth layer of the Golden Core stage?
The 100,000 to 200,000 people in Yangqing County were the sacrifices that the other party needed to break through to the Nascent SoulsStage?
A thought flashed through Fu Shuangni’s mind, and her eyes suddenly widened.
“Those demon cultivators from the Sacred Heart Palace tried to infiltrate the county office, could it be that their goal is the same? Using the power of the county office to lay down a secret technique that covers the entire Qinghe County and wait for the right time to trigger the secret technique.”
“Then, the hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County, including some weak Immortal cultivators… will all become fodder for the big demon behind the scenes?”
Fu Shuangni did not hide her guess.
Even though there was no evidence for these ridiculous-sounding guesses.
Shu Zhihua looked at her, as if she was carefully sensing something.
Then, she said thoughtfully, “Needless to say, I did sense traces of a large-scale formation in this county.”
“These traces are very concealed. If they didn’t trigger the array formation, even I wouldn’t be able to find them.”
Shu Zhihua said with a smile, “Your guess might be very close to the truth.”
She had drunk quite a lot of spirit wine, she was a little tipsy and could smile.
However, the others could not smile.
If this was true… didn’t it mean that Yangqing County was a substitute for Qinghe County?
Originally, the goal of the demon cultivators was to use the hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County as sacrifices.
Later, because of various reasons, the demon cultivators in Qinghe County were all killed.
As a result… All the preparations they had made in Qinghe County were wasted.
In order to exchange for a substitute for Qinghe County, the demon cultivators targeted Yangqing County?
Yangqing County did not have Bai Yi as a variable. In addition to the independent cultivators in Yangqing County, they were at most at the third or fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage. No one could notice that something was wrong.
In fact… The county office of Yangqing County might have already been controlled by the demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace!
Even if they found something wrong, they could suppress these voices and continue to carry out their arrangements and plans methodically!
Hiss!
“Your Highness!” An official could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He did not care about exposing Fu Shuangni’s identity.
He said anxiously, “If Yangqing County is a substitute for Qinghe County, there will definitely be a second county that will become the second substitute for Qinghe County!”
He said quickly, “Because the population of Yangqing County is not as large as Qinghe County. The demon wants more sacrifices… They would need more substitutes to replace Qinghe County!”
“We have to stop a Nascent Soul stage demon from descending!”
“Otherwise… Countless people will die!”
Since this state official could think of this, Fu Shuangni could naturally think of it too.
The problem was….
How to find the demon cultivator who was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
Where was he?
At this moment, no one would question whether their guess was wrong.
For such a serious matter, even if their guess was wrong, they had to check it out to clear the crisis.
Even if there was only a 1 percent chance, they could not let down their guard.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, another state government official said hurriedly, “Did a county yesterday find traces of a demon cultivator? I remember that the county wasn’t Yangqing County, but another county near Qinghe County!”
“According to the news from that side, that demon cultivator was killed by two ministers of the Imperial Court. Furthermore, I remember that the population of that county is about the same as Yangqing County.”
“The combined population of these two counties is not comparable to Qinghe County.”
“Could it be that the Sacred Heart Palace demon cultivator’s next target is that place?”
Hearing this, Fu Shuangni made a prompt decision and gave an order, “Move out immediately!”
“Your Highness, then the people of Yangqing County…”
Fu Shuangni said in a deep voice, “The demon might see that place as his next target. If we don’t hurry over to destroy the Sacred Heart Palace’s plan, not only can we not save the people of Yangqing County, but we can also not save the people of that county.”
“At this point, a trade-off must be made!”
Several provincial Immortal cultivators felt a chill in their hearts. They felt Fu Shuangni’s determination, and they said nothing more.
Shu Zhihua’s face revealed a trace of surprise. Immediately, she sent a secret voice transmission to the Golden Core puppet, “Disciple, I quite like this little girl. She has the ability to take charge. The people you choose are quite impressive! You have good taste!”
“…”
