Chapter 330 The beginning of the pacification meeting is the day of their death
Danzhou is about two thousand miles away from Yongzhou.

With the speed of Shen Qing and his crew, they could arrive in just over ten days by traveling day and night.

Time passed day by day, as they continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to Danzhou, and met many people like them on the way.

However, what is different from them is that the population of other cities is far less than that of Yongzhou.

At first glance, other cities had only gathered about thirty or forty people, and most of them were martial artists.

Yongzhou sent thirty-six officials alone, and with the martial artists, there were more than a hundred people in total.

Among the 810 cities in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Yongzhou is truly unique, except for the places in Kyoto where aristocratic families gather and many people go there for a bright future.

After another seven or eight days of traveling, Shen Qing and many other martial artists finally arrived near Danzhou City.

Special people worked with the people from the Southern Region Military Department to count the number of people. After confirming that everyone was correct, they were allowed to go one by one and set up camp in an open space specially prepared for them.

When Shen Qing walked into the camp, he looked around and found that it was crowded with people, all of them were martial artists.

He had never seen so many martial artists before and was shocked for a moment.

It is said that if such an army of martial artists worked together and combined their military formations, even an ordinary Yuanshen realm master would not be able to win easily.

Unfortunately, for the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stability is above all else.

They would rather consume these martial artists internally than organize them well.

We have always followed the principle of pacifying the country before fighting against foreign enemies.

However, Shen Qing could also understand.

What martial artists pursue is the supreme martial art, which is the path to immortality.

If so many martial artists were gathered together, it would not be enough to drive them with ordinary food and wages, but would require various resources for training.

But with so many martial artists now, the amount of training resources needed every day is enormous.

Not to mention that as your cultivation level increases, the resources for cultivation will also gradually increase.

So many martial artists are like a bottomless pit. Once they start moving, they can never be filled.

After all, it is because the resources for cultivation in this world are too scarce and the spiritual energy is too thin.

"You are from Yongzhou, right? Your resting area is in District D. Just walk all the way to the end from here." After entering the camp, a soldier in charge pointed at Shen Qing and others and said.

As the soldier spoke, he took out a dark stone with the word "D" engraved on it from a sack. He said, "Come, come, before you go over, take the merit stone from me. Remember, this is the thing that records your military merits. Keep them all well and don't lose them."

"Memorial stone?"

Everyone was a little puzzled.

In confusion, they came forward one by one and took the stone.

"this is yours."

Shen Qing walked up to the soldiers.

When the soldiers saw Shen Qing's powerful aura, they realized that his cultivation might be quite high.

So compared to others, his attitude became much more respectful.

Shen Qing took the merit stone and looked at it carefully.

The merit stone is black, relatively round, cold to the touch, and has a faint spiritual energy remaining in it.

In the very center there is a huge character “丁” engraved.

The soldier explained casually: "This Merit Stone can absorb evil spirits. The more people you kill, the more evil spirits the Merit Stone has, and the greater the merit of the owner. The Quieting Society uses this Merit Stone to measure merits." The soldier suddenly laughed and said meaningfully: "Of course, if the Merit Stones on you don't have much evil spirits, it's okay to have a lot of them."

a large amount?
Shen Qing instantly understood what the soldier meant.

Everyone gets one, and if someone has a lot of them they can only snatch them from others.

As for how to grab it?
Shen Qing estimated that it was more likely that he killed the other party during the pacification meeting and then snatched the merit stone.

He suppressed his thoughts, bowed slightly, and walked towards the "D" area pointed by the soldier.

Shen Qing passed by the center of the camp and found a high platform with a big chair on it and a middle-aged man sitting on it.

He looked down in front of him, angry but not intimidating.

Just as Shen Qing was looking at the middle-aged man above, the other party glanced at him inadvertently.

A powerful force overwhelmed him, causing his entire body to tremble violently.

Just with this one glance, Shen Qing felt as if his consciousness was about to be torn apart.

This cultivation level is clearly that of a powerful person in the Sky Traveling Realm!!!
In order to quell the rebellion, the court actually sent a powerful person from the Kongyou realm!
No wonder no one in the camp dared to act rashly.

With such a person guarding the place, anyone who wants to cause trouble would be seeking death.

Shen Qing's heart was pounding.

He immediately withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any longer.

He obediently walked to the "D" area of ​​the camp, found an open space, sat down, and regulated his breathing.

Soon other people from Yongzhou also came over, gathered together and sat on the ground.

After traveling all the way here, these people's faces were covered in dust and looked very embarrassed.

The conditions in the camp cannot be said to be very good, they can only be said to be basically non-existent.

The scattered tents and stilt houses basically all belong to someone, are occupied by some people, and are guarded by people outside.

The rest is all empty space.

There wasn't even a blade of grass, it was all trampled clean.

At noon, everyone was given a steamed bun, which was as hard as a rock. One bite of it might knock out a tooth. It was speechless.

Soon, more and more people came to the camp. Most of them had numb and tense expressions, looking like they were in trouble.

As many officials in Yongzhou saw so many martial artists, they felt very pressured.

As they had discussed at the beginning, they gathered around County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou and asked, "My Lords, what should we do next?"

County Magistrate Dou Wenxi said with a gloomy face: "Everyone heard it when they received the merit stone just now. This thing can absorb evil spirits. The more people you kill, the heavier the evil spirit will be. But the soldier didn't say who he killed..."

When the officials in Yongzhou heard this and thought about it carefully, their faces turned unhappy.

The meaning of County Magistrate Dou Wenxi was very clear. It was for the sake of military merit. You could kill the rebels of the Huangtian Sect, and you could also kill our own people. The main point was that there were no taboos.

"If we can think of this, then others can definitely think of it too, so we must not lose our composure at this time. Although we are unlucky and there are many people here, think about it, isn't this an advantage for us?"

The others nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"That's the truth. When many hands gather together, the flames rise high. A single chopstick is easy to break, but a bunch of chopsticks are not easy to break."

County Supervisor Yan Xushou pointed at the surrounding martial artists and said, "Look at those people in twos and threes in each city. To be frank, the start of the pacification meeting will be their death. In such a chaotic situation, being alone is a taboo!"
