Destiny is ashes

Chapter 376 Power and Order (33)

"Is there such a good thing?"

Hearing this, An Jing was not surprised, because otherwise, why would these civil and military officials take such risks?
And You Ruhui shook his head on the other end: [No, it's not that good. Without the support of the imperial court, if I return to Shenjing to replace the new talisman every once in a while, this external power will eventually dissipate and return to the heaven, sea and earth veins. It can't last long.]

[This is also why many officials always have to return to the capital to report their positions... The way of heaven and earth bestowing talismans has many restrictions and is not as free as fate.]

[But at least, in a short period of time, they can do many things beyond the limits of the imperial court! ]

You Ruhui's emotions are complicated. Although she wants to rebel and take revenge on Dachen, she is not stupid, because she is of the imperial blood of the imperial court, and so is her father.

If the murderer of her father was not the imperial court as she imagined, but the secret plot of these civil and military officials... then should she go back to protect Dachen?

"Don't think too much."

An Jing also noticed You Ruhui's thoughts. He shook his head and said, "The imperial court is Dachen, but officials are not Dachen? Can the two be separated? Your father blocked the way of many people, including the imperial court and the officials. Otherwise, he would never have died so quietly. This is a tacit understanding between the two parties."

A big net.

A huge net, layer upon layer, has spread all over the underwater world of the Dachen Empire. It seems to be non-existent, but it is already densely covered... King Jing ran into this invisible net, which was woven by hundreds of civil and military officials and even other kings in the imperial court.

Even the late emperor might have been the same.

An Jing shook his head slightly and withdrew his thoughts.

"Compared to this, I will copy the essence of these two arrays later and pass them to you when I have time. As long as you become stronger and stronger, you will always have the opportunity to find the truth."

[Well... I have gained a lot this time]

You Ruhui responded softly, and An Jing smiled and said, "It's good to have some gains. Strengthen your realm well. We will contact each other later when we have time."

Bai Qinghan looked at An Jing, who was in deep thought and smiling inexplicably. She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking: "Who is Senior Brother contacting... Communicating with the mind. If I had this secret method, maybe I wouldn't need the water mirror."

Thinking of this, An Jing opened his eyes. He noticed Bai Qinghan's gaze and smiled at her.

Then, An Jing continued to focus his attention on the earth vein formation and the formation plate.

The dragon energy converted from the formation plate was not much. When the magic weapon left, it had taken away most of the reserves. The wisp of dragon energy just now was the last remaining one.

Today's Linjiang City is not prosperous. Even if it has the energy of heaven and earth, there is no energy of all living things to mix with it to forge a new ownerless dragon energy.

During this period of time, the array plate must be spinning idle.

But An Jing didn't care about this - even if it was just an empty rotation, it was a good thing. He happened to have comprehended the method of strengthening the body with magic weapons, and there were no magic weapons in the current Linjiang City's earth veins. An Jing could completely use the power of the earth veins to practice, and both the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition and martial arts could be blessed.

As long as he solved the trouble with the True Demon Sect at Broken Blade Mountain and found the fragments of Fu Xie... he could stay in Linjiang City for a while longer.

Looking up, An Jing looked around the city.

Today, Linjiang City has begun to become chaotic because of his battle with Mo Li.

Many residents who originally planned to stay in the city were already on the verge of collapse due to the oppression of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, and they only endured it for the sake of the city's safety.

But now, Linjiang City can't even protect its safety. It is natural that a harsh government is worse than a tiger. They would rather try their luck in the frost and beast tide than stay in this city.

In this case, if these people are allowed to flee the city, countless people will die.

"Hmm...Looking at it this way, my actions may have been a little ill-considered."

An Jing fell into deep thought. He was furious at Mo Li and Linlang Chamber of Commerce's oppression and discrimination against civilians and killed them, but he also disrupted the order of the city.

No matter how greedy the Linlang Chamber of Commerce is, and no matter whether they really protect the safety of the people in the city, at least they have given the people this confidence and hope.

If this confidence and hope are shattered, the human collective will collapse, and the resulting losses and deaths... may be greater than the exploitation of the previous order. An Jing did not think that he was wrong in his actions - if there was a mistake, then it must be Dachen. Dachen's biggest mistake was to give up after establishing order, allowing those officials to take advantage of the opportunity.

Secondly, these officials will stop at nothing to achieve their own goals, allowing the minions of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce to wreak havoc and completely ignoring the survival of the grassroots people.

All he did was kill too slowly - if he could kill all the officials of Linlang Chamber of Commerce in an instant, why would he cause all this commotion!

But in the final analysis, killing slowly is also wrong. Now, An Jing is thinking about how he should save these people who are preparing to flee the city from all directions and prevent them from losing their lives in the snowstorm.

"Use my divine command to call back the people? Perhaps, but there will surely be people who will not believe it."

"Qinghan, me and Xu Tai alone should bring the people back? This is even less efficient..."

An Jing was still thinking, while on the other side, Xu Tai also came here with several warriors from the Linlang Chamber of Commerce wearing deacons' uniforms.

"Brother An, all the key figures are here."

Since Xu Tai destroyed the earth vein node, he had made up his mind to follow An Jing to the end. He saw Bai Qinghan and was surprised at the extraordinary temperament of this girl, but he didn't care too much - An Jing's friends must be geniuses.

He reported succinctly, "The other warriors are all in disarray. They are now frightened and can't do anything."

"After we take down this inhuman Chamber of Commerce, what do we do next?"

"Huh. What's next?"

Before An Jing could answer, a young warrior among the Chamber of Commerce warriors captured by Xu Tai suddenly raised his head viciously and laughed strangely: "What's next? You're finished. All of you are finished!"

"Without your status and the formation blocking them, the monsters on the mountain, those demons and beasts, will all lead the beast tide to rush over - you and your men are the guardian gods of this city, you guys don't understand at all!"

"It's just a little money, what's wrong with that? Without you and the formation, Linjiang City would have been finished long ago!"

"Oh... is this the reason why you are cooperating with the True Demon Cult?"

An Jing glanced at the overly young servant who was most likely brought by Mo Li. He smiled and said, "So that's how it is. They are threatening each other."

Hearing this, the young warrior knew he had said something wrong, so he immediately shut up - but An Jing had no intention of letting him reply, let alone letting him live.

Fire flashed in his pupils, and the man suddenly felt a heat in his heart. The internal energy in his body conflicted and conflicted, and he developed a high fever in an instant. Before he could say anything, his consciousness slowly melted in the extreme fever and pain, and his whole body turned into a burning torch, letting out a shrill howl, and then fell to the ground.

An Jing set him on fire, turning him into a charred corpse.

How dare he speak so loudly when dealing with the demon? He could still save his life if he kept his mouth shut. An Jing couldn't imagine where he got the courage to threaten him.

However, this person did give An Jing inspiration.

"I thought about it."

An Jing raised his head and looked at the Broken Blade Mountain not far away. His eyes were burning with excitement. "I have no evidence. It is meaningless to say that I can protect everyone's safety. Even if I defeat the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, it is just an internal fight for people. It does not mean that I have the ability to deal with danger and maintain order."

"Before I have concrete achievements in foreign wars, people will not believe in me, my power and order."

"Just like the leaders of the ancient human race had to slaughter evil spirits, use their heads as evidence, and cut off their flesh to share among the people, in order to gain the support of the people..."

"If I want everyone to believe that I can protect them on behalf of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce... I have to do something similar!"

"The True Demon Cult..."

——Hehehe, it’s time to borrow your heads!
