Destiny is ashes

Chapter 381: Cornerstone Step

The chaos in the city has settled down a little.

Following the order of peace, the people in the city returned to their houses to wait, and the beasts returned to their original migration routes and slowly left.

In the snow, An Jing looked at the mountain masters. The great demons who were comparable to the martial vein realm stared at Linjiang City in silence. They did feel the aura in the city that made them long for it.

But compared to their offspring who followed their instincts, these intelligent spirits knew very well that no matter how good something was, they would not be able to use it if they lived. Even the king of Broken Blade Mountain, the four-winged moon snake, had left this place long ago and had no intention of getting involved, so it was better for them not to try.

Survival. Humans act out of desire, while animals act out of survival.

They turned their heads, let out loud and high-pitched calls, slowly turned around, shook off the snow on their bodies, and continued to migrate south with their long herd.

After seeing the beast tide leave, An Jing breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, jumped off the city wall and returned to the city.

"I thought this herd of beasts was doomed as well."

An Jing, who was relieved, complained to Fu Xie in the Sea of ​​Gods: "Just now when I was speaking harshly, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I was wondering if this group of beasts attacking the city is still a disaster... If so, then the trouble I will encounter this time may not be inferior to that of Kanming City. I am afraid that thousands or even tens of thousands of people will die."

"Looking at it now, fortunately, these big demons are very restrained, so I don't have to go back to Tianyuan Realm to buy heavy firepower."

Most of An Jing's heavy firepower was used up in Kanming City. Although there are still many thunder bullets left, there are only a few self-destructive drones left, which cannot deal with so many thick-skinned monsters.

"Those demons should have sensed the dragon's energy."

Fu Xie analyzed, "The dragon energy has been transmitted to You Ruhui. After they calm down, they will naturally not be impulsive... This is indeed a disaster. If you don't have a way to deal with the dragon energy, seal it or transfer it away, then the surrounding beast tide will definitely attack the city."

“I know, in hindsight, I certainly overlooked that.”

An Jing nodded slightly: "But what should we do in the future? As long as there are still people in Linjiang City, the dragon energy will be produced in ten days or half a month. Can we give the dragon energy to Ruhui?"

"She does need it, but she may not need that much." Fu Xie pondered: "Although I have a lot of knowledge about the way of refining qi, I am only proficient in sword formations... How to suppress and store dragon energy? You can ask You Ruhui later, she should be more familiar with it."

"Row."

An Jing wiped a non-existent cold sweat from his forehead: "Fortunately, I'm lucky... I have confidence in dealing with the Linlang Chamber of Commerce and the True Demon Sect, but I'm really unsure about so many martial vein demon spirits."

"Don't be nervous, An Jing, you've done very well."

In response to An Jing's reflection, the sword spirit shook his head: "How can there be so many things in this world that are 100% certain? Even 80% or 90% certain is rare. If you have to wait until everything is certain before taking action, then the certainty will never lead to success, but rather to backwardness and failure."

"You did a great job, An Jing. As a leader, you should make tough statements, make decisions when necessary, brag when necessary, and exaggerate when necessary."

"It's not shameful to lose anyway. If you win, you will have prestige. Why not do a business with no cost? In my opinion, you have great potential. At least you are very decisive in making decisions. You are much better than those people who take a long time to choose a sword."

"That's true."

An Jing recalled and laughed, "It's like when we're at war, we have to say we have to tear off the enemy's head and make a wine jug. Although we may not actually do it, we definitely won't say things like 'our army is defeated!' or 'our army will definitely lose' or other defeatist statements."

An Jing is indeed a person who dares to make judgments. Even if the final result is wrong, it is better than being indecisive. This is indeed his advantage. After An Jing got down from the city wall, Bai Qinghan and Xu Tai, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet him.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for taking over Linjiang City and erecting the first monument of your foundation."

Bai Qinghan clapped her hands in a serious manner, expressing her joy and admiration, which made An Jing subconsciously feel that he had begun to rebel. He shook his head and said, "I haven't started to rebel yet. Right now, I just want to protect my mother."

"So what are you going to do next?"

Bai Qinghan didn't care about An Jing's unconvincing words. She said seriously: "Big Brother, your sword has won you the power to establish laws. In this Linjiang City where Dachen has stopped, the True Demon and Linlang Chamber of Commerce, that is, all the high-level gloves in Dachen, have been cleared out, you are the uncrowned king here."

"Whether they are rebelling or not, Linjiang City now belongs to you. What are you going to do with these people next?"

Hearing this, before An Jing could think of a reply, Xu Tai on the side became restless.

——What the hell, what kind of rebellion is this brother and sister stirring up? I won’t be dragged into some nonsense story of the devil, right?
Xu Tai was not stupid. After hearing Bai Qinghan respectfully call An Jing "elder brother", he knew that this seemingly pure and quiet girl must be from the Tianyi Demon Sect!
Moreover, looking at his strength, he is probably an elite inner sect disciple, with the first-class true teachings of the peak master... An Jing, the apostate from the divine destiny, is indeed like other apostate disciples of the demon sect in the past, and has some connection with the Tianyi Demon Sect!

Not to mention, this brother and sister even joked about rebellion in front of him... No, these two people are not going to kill him soon, right? !

Xu Tai frightened himself so much that his face became gloomy, but soon he figured it out.

Even if An Jing is really connected with the Tianyi Demon Cult, it doesn't matter. This is what the Mingjing Sect and Dachen should be concerned about. Not to mention that at present, An Jing is indeed a good person who has protected the city from the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, the True Demon Cult and the Beast Tide.

Such achievements are enough to make him the lord of a city - although the lord of a city must at least be a martial vein, but An Jing's strength is far beyond that of an average strong man, which is enough for now, not to mention that he also holds a divine communication device, which is comparable to a disposable divine weapon of intimidation, and he can indeed guard a city.

"Let's count the food first...Brother Xu."

On the other side, while Xu Tai was daydreaming, An Jing had also thought about his next move. He turned his head and said to the tall escort leader, "The situation has changed now. Can you call back all the people in your escort agency?"

He said solemnly: "Right now the city is short of manpower, and also short of warriors I can trust. Whether it is distributing food or counting the number of people, manpower will be needed."

"I think they haven't gone far. If you have the means, call them back to help... If you help now, you will gain a lot in the future. You know it yourself."

"...I have!" Xu Tai was stunned at first, but soon her face became serious and she promised earnestly: "I'll call them back immediately!"

Assist the city lord in managing a city? The moment he heard this, Xu Tai's instinct told him that this was a great opportunity - whether it was to truly become a powerful force or to completely make a name for himself in the northern border, this was a great opportunity!

Meeting An Jing is truly a blessing for us!

He promised Tai a thousand gold, but what An Jing promised with just a few words was much more than a thousand gold!

Xu Tai went to the side and used the water mirror to call the escorts back to Kanming City, while An Jing also turned his head and looked at Bai Qinghan.

He frowned, but soon relaxed: "Qinghan, where are your men?"

"At least some manpower is needed. Let them come over."
