Destiny is ashes

Chapter 559 When Everything Begins (6400)

"Because of the traitor?"

An Jing was not surprised by Chen Yinzi's serious tone. He asked, and Chen Yinzi nodded, but then shook his head: "Yes and no. With me here, even if there is a traitor inside and outside who wants to attack, they can't stop me from sending you back to the sect."

When saying this, Chen Yinzi's tone was calm and extremely confident.

After he received the Xuan Yuan Qi, his physical condition improved a lot. Although his life span was not extended much, his fighting power was indeed greatly improved, approaching the peak of his youth.

At that time, Chen Yinzi could not be said to be invincible in the sect, but he was also in the first tier. Now everyone is old and sick, but he is in good shape. That really shows his confidence.

"The biggest problem is the people seduced by the traitor."

Chen Yinzi glanced at King De who was standing beside him. King De politely stepped aside and did not use any divine hearing ability. The old man then sent a telepathic message to An Jing: "The destructive sword intent you showed me last time, I already know where it came from... and I have communicated with the ancestor before."

The last time Chen Yinzi used his spiritual power to transform into a mirror and came to Linjiang City, An Jing showed him the fragments of the sword blade that contained the sword intent of destruction, and hinted at Ming Guangchen's guess that the other party might be the "Shangxuan Sect".

At that time, Chen Yinzi was very serious and asked An Jing not to be exposed, and asked him to discuss it with Patriarch Chengguang.

Now it seems that the result is out - no matter how confusing or unbelievable it seems, the fact is the fact.

The one targeting Mingguangchen is the Shangxuan Sect.

Moreover, after really confirming this, Chen Yinzi was somewhat relieved - being a spy for the Xuan Sect was better than being a spy for the Tianyi Demon Sect and the Taiming Sect, right? At least he was a dog for the Tianzong, and the strongest Tianzong, which was normal. Why did the traitor in the sect have to cooperate with the Taiming Sect and the Tianyi Demon Sect in the past?
But no matter how strong the partner is, it is intolerable.

"In the sect, a large-scale purge of high-level traitors is being prepared."

Chen Yinzi considered and said to An Jing: "Now that Patriarch Chengguang and I have left, there must be people in the sect who are eager to try and make some small moves. Little do they know that the ancestor has already activated the Haotian lens for surveillance. This time, we will definitely be able to catch them."

"When the time comes, when the ancestor comes back, there will be a sudden change of thunder. Taking you back at this time... is not a good idea."

indeed so.

Hearing this, An Jing couldn't help but nod in relief.

Before figuring out why the Shangxuan Sect took action against Mingguangchen, it would be best for him, as a disciple of Mingguangchen, not to return to the sect casually. God knows what the Shangxuan Sect will do to him.

Even if he didn't plan to do anything, at such a tense and exciting time for the sect's internal review, why would a 'Dachen person' like him, who had become the mountain master, bother to get involved? At that time, he would definitely be questioned by the local elders of Chenli, and it would be troublesome if he didn't talk about it.

It would be better to return to Chenli slowly after a while. By then, the Mingjing Sect will have cleared out the traitors and I will be much safer. Wouldn't it be wonderful to join the Mingjing Sect in a peaceful environment...

Will this happen?

——I feel like there will be some trouble left.

An Jing is very confident in Chen Yinzi and Mingjing Zong's ability to handle things, but he is more confident in his own destiny.

"But I can't stay in Dachen either."

Thinking of this, An Jing couldn't help but feel a headache: "I can't go back to Mingjing Sect for the time being, and it's best not to stay in Dachen. What should I do?"

He was not really worried about this problem, because at most he would stay in the Tianyuan Realm for a long time, go there to study hard and make up for his lessons, and learn some basic knowledge of immortal cultivation. Then he would go there when Chen Yinzi told him that Mingjing Sect was safe.

The question is, how should he disappear from everyone's sight?

Go to the farthest sky? Hide and walk slowly? It's possible, but it's still a bit troublesome...

"I have to go."

Chen Yinzi patted An Jing on the shoulder. He really couldn't stay in Dachen for long, and he also believed in An Jing's own abilities: "I will send you a message again after everything is resolved."

"If there is any danger, call me again."

Even if An Jing had followed the legal procedures to ask his master for help, Xiansheng Zhenjun could not stay in another country's territory for long. However, with Chen Yinzi's ability, he could basically come when needed. So after An Jing respectfully saw his master off, he did not feel that he was really alone.

At this point, the events around Broken Blade Mountains came to an end.

An Jing returned to the fleeing team of Linjiang City, and King De also found Xing Mofeng who was escorting the refugees and prisoners all the way back.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing King De coming to the army in person, Xing Mofeng, who was discussing the arrangements for the captives with Xu Tai through the water mirror, immediately put the water mirror aside, stood up and saluted, looking quite nervous: "I didn't come to greet you, please forgive me!"

"Please forgive me!" Many officers and soldiers in the camp knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Don't be so nervous."

King De smiled and raised his hand to lift everyone up. He was really happy: "General Xing, you are a great hero. I read your report and that of Lord Anshan. You resisted the most threatening attacks from the enemy. Otherwise, the Tieli army bewitched by the Heavenly Demon would have released the Great Heavenly Demon in advance."

"And your actions afterwards were impeccable. You escorted civilians, escorted prisoners, led soldiers and civilians to seek refuge in towns, and the army was so disciplined... General, I have also seen your military exploits against the demonic disaster in Hannan. For your merits, you should have been awarded a certificate long ago, or even commended by a general."

"Don't be nervous. Tell me about your experiences in Hannan. I am very optimistic about young people like you who have potential and come from a good family in a martial arts academy."

In fact, the words of the King of De were somewhat euphemistic. He almost said directly, "Are you being suppressed in Hannan? Don't worry, tell me everything, I will support you!" Xing Mofeng was shocked when he heard it, and he almost burst into tears like in the story, and was about to bow down.

The reason why he didn't bow was not because he couldn't kneel down, but because he had already communicated with King De and knew what would happen next.

At this moment, his adjutant and many officers shouted in a chaotic manner: "Greetings, Your Highness! Your Highness, you must make the decision for us!"

"Yes, Your Highness. We are in Hannan, killing demons and eliminating evil. We are doing the hardest and most tiring work. General Xing leads us and does not harm the people at all. However, we are repeatedly detained by the state government for our supplies!"

"Your Highness, we were also forcibly transferred here this time, and we were not given enough armaments. If it weren't for Lord Anshan's support, we would have run out of food halfway through the battle!"

Such a cacophony of shouting should be punished, but Xing Mofeng did not stop it, because he and all the officers knew that this was what King De wanted to hear.

As expected, upon hearing the complaints from the Xing Mo Feng army, King De smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it. If you remember any unfair treatment in the prefectures and regions, please write them down or report them to your superiors and we will summarize them later."

If you want to change something, transform something, or hold something in your hand, you need a 'grip'.

In theory, King De can indeed command all officials and troops in the entire Hanhai Realm. As long as he reports to the imperial court, he can even form a new conquest army to open up new territories for the empire wherever he wants.

However, after issuing an order, it is normal for the subordinates to be slow to execute it, due to insufficient funds, or to make big troubles due to execution errors, or to keep responding with "Okay, sir" or "Additional military spending is needed". It is normal for a year or two to pass without any actual progress.

During the long period after King Jing's death, officials who were originally loyal to King Jing were corrupted or degraded. They were either replaced or chose to join other factions in a state of panic. As a result, when King De took office, although he could "command" these officials who were very submissive to him, he was still unable to exert his power.

But now, through Xing Mofeng, he finally found the point where he could start to exert his strength.

And An Jing also joined the team of Linjiang City residents.

As the temperature rose, the ice and snow melted, the solid permafrost turned into a muddy swamp, and the thick clothes also affected the movement, so the team's return was stopped.

But this is just right. Materials from all over the place are being transferred here, and we still need some rest before rebuilding the city.

However, the enthusiasm of the people in the team is very high - living in a blessed land is completely different from living in an ordinary city. Because of the gathering of luck, the number of warriors in cities built on special terrain will increase, and everyone wants to become a resident of the first city around the Tianjian Mountains.

Even the offensive of the Tieli side was temporarily suspended, and even paused. The battle lines of both sides calmed down and confronted each other peacefully.

"Son, are you leaving again?"

"Mom, I really can't stay here for long, and I can't take you to the Mingjing Sect... It's best for you to stay in Dachen. King De and the Tianyi Sect will guarantee your safety."

"I'm not worried about my own safety, I'm worried about your safety..."

As the master of the mountain and the leader, after accepting the cheers and salutes from the crowd, An Jing came to the big tent which temporarily served as the center. Bai Qinghan, Xu Tai, Cang Linzu and his mother Shen Mubai were all here.

"Son, your fellow apprentices, as well as the little squirrel you gave to mother, really helped a lot this time."

An Jing exchanged pleasantries with his mother for a while. Shen Mubai patted his forehead gently, then took Xiao Cang out: "This little squirrel is small in size but strong in strength. It has really protected mother many times. Don't forget it."

"I will definitely not forget that."

An Jing looked at Xiao Cang and smiled. The other party's demon pill was the origin of his own path to the demon pill and his understanding of the 'True Spirit Blood·Ancestor Dragon Seed'. In other words, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was his teacher.

An Jing would definitely not treat this little squirrel who gave him great inspiration badly. He raised his hand, nurtured a trace of 'Taishi Yuansha', and used the method of demon pill to touch the forehead of Xiao Cang, whose fur and tail were tense and very nervous: "You are also a squirrel with destiny. You must practice well and never slack off."

"I hope that next time I come back, you will at least be at the peak of your inner strength. If you can achieve a martial vein, there will be a reward!"

"Squeak!"

Xiao Cang immediately stood up straight, with his tail erected, as if to assure him. He could sense that An Jing's aura was more friendly and more majestic than before, so he naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest regarding An Jing's instructions and teachings.

The time it spent being raised by humans was the most comfortable time of its life. It would not waste it and would definitely practice hard to become a great demon spirit!

An Jing felt that the other party had a good chance - Rong Yucui would definitely not be able to manage the new Tianjian Mountains alone, and if Xiao Cang stayed here, he might really have a chance to become the mountain master or a deputy demon general.

After the mother and son talked for a while, Shen Mubai was still reluctant to leave - she had finally spent half a year with her son, and now they had to part again.

But An Jing was also helpless - if he stayed in Dachen, even if there were no other conspiracies or intrigues, the "disaster" brought by destiny alone would greatly affect the development of the surrounding areas.

If he wanted his mother to live a stable and peaceful life, he really couldn't stay in Dachen.

After finishing the conversation with Shen Mubai, Bai Qinghan talked with An Jing alone in a corner.

"Big Brother, now you have completely entered the inner world of Dachen."

She was quite tired, of course. The battle of the demons was too wide and too far away. Just dealing with natural disasters and the occasional monsters was already exhausting enough. There were always people who wanted to attack Shen Mubai, and the bandits kept coming. Although An Jing was the absolute protagonist of this major event, if it weren't for the fact that Bai Qinghan and Xu Tai were indeed very powerful, and Cang Linzu could escape and transfer at any time, Shen Mubai's safety would really be difficult to guarantee.

But now, after An Jing has demonstrated his united front value, he doesn't have to worry too much about this problem.

Bai Qinghan was a little confused about this: "You said you don't want to stay in Dachen... Then wouldn't all your previous efforts be in vain?"

"Without you, no one has the prestige to build Fuxie City. In the end, it will just become a mess, disappointing everyone."

"Let alone the fact that it might not be mud - even if it is, can't it be considered a good thing?"

An Jing's words to Bai Qinghan were more truthful and direct. He said calmly, "When I was away, the city was chaotic and dirty. Everyone was dissatisfied and disappointed. That's why they wanted me to come back."

"If the same group of people live the same life whether I leave or not, doesn't that mean my existence is unnecessary?"

The words were cruel, but the truth was true. Bai Qinghan was stunned, but after reacting, he understood a little: "I see, so that's the case. In that case, should we not build Fuxie City, or deliberately destroy some of the construction?"

"That's not necessary." An Jing shook his head. Although Bai Qinghan understood quickly, his thinking was still too radical. He taught him sincerely: "I will leave, and then you will leave, Qinghan, and A Cang will also leave. Without our core team, the only one in charge is Xu Tai. Although he is indeed capable, at most he can only make it possible for people to survive, and he can't be called good."

"That's enough. It's not advisable to hope that others will do a bad job. What we need to do is to do it well, beyond others' imagination."

"I have a feeling that this method can also be used within the sect. My master seems to have a similar method."

Bai Qinghan seemed to be thinking about something: "Some time ago, the Ghost Patrol asked for all your information. The sect asked Master to assist Him. Master did this on the surface, but in fact, he has been helping you secretly."

"In this way, the Ghost Patrol's plan went wrong, and you, Big Brother, have proven your strength and value. After seeing the result, the inner sect decided to let Master and I continue to handle matters related to you..."

"Although you are not in the sect, your thinking is exactly the same!"

"This is called retreating to advance, a very simple tactic."

An Jing sighed and encouraged him, "Xiao Bai, you should also read more military books. Your cultural level has improved, but many times you only understand but cannot actually apply it."

"I will." Bai Qinghan responded seriously. An Jing asked Xu Tai to come forward, but found that the former head of the escort agency was hesitant.

"What's wrong."

An Jingqi said: "I let you be the acting city lord of Fuxie City. It is a great thing for you, your fate, and your martial arts. So many people want to be the city lord but can't. I gave you this important responsibility because I saw that you are about to have a martial vein!"

"I am afraid I will fail to live up to your trust."

Xu Tai looked solemn. He was a man of his word, so he naturally valued promises and favors. An Jing saved his life and repeatedly rewarded him handsomely. To be honest, this was enough to buy his life.

But now, An Jing entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, which really made him feel that the three cities and seventeen towns around the Tianjian Mountains were all on his shoulders. After all, Xu Tai was not a weightlifting enthusiast, so it was natural for him to feel a little panic.

"Don't worry." An Jing changed his words to Bai Qinghan and told him his plan more calmly: "Just do it and manage it according to your ideas. You have good talent and your strength will soon be in the martial vein. No one can say anything about you in this regard."

"If I really did make a mistake, you can also think of this as paving the way for my return. You are my subordinate, wouldn't you be willing to make some mistakes for me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Tai became energetic - take the blame, it's good to take the blame, you have to take the blame!

A truly good subordinate must have the courage to take the blame for his leader, especially for An Jing. How can he be rich and prosperous in the future?

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

When Xu Tai also left, Cang Linzu emerged from the shadows. He looked at An Jing expectantly, as if asking, "What about me? What are my responsibilities?"

"Your mission is the most important."

An Jing said seriously, patting his shoulder: "You have to be responsible for sending me out."

"no problem!"

Hearing the clear instructions, Cang Linzu was the happiest, but he soon became distressed: "It's just that, Boss, I'm not strong enough, and I can't teleport you to Mingjing Sect in one go."

"Who asked you to teleport to the Mingjing Sect in one breath?" An Jing shook his head: "It would be fine if you can send me to the Great Wasteland - but your strength is indeed a problem."

"Xiao Cang, don't you have a good way to practice?"

"Indeed." Cang Linzu thought for a moment and nodded, "I am still practicing the Huangtian Method and Houtu Method. Brother, you said that practicing both together is beneficial. I think it is indeed perfect, but the speed is not fast."

As a cultivation method, the Huangtianhoutu Method is indeed first-class, but even a first-class cultivation method cannot be suitable for everyone. An Jing can see that although Canglinzu has a good understanding and can be considered a genius, his mind is quite pure and similar to that of ordinary people. He cannot comprehend the essence of the Huangtianhoutu Method "I am the Son of Heaven and I control the time" like himself.

In this case, his main method of cultivation cannot be Huangtian.

“Is there any amendment that is more suitable for him?”

An Jing asked Fu Xie, and Fu Xie's answer was straightforward: "He is born under the star Ketu, and is the Dark Remaining of Earth. He should practice the cultivation methods related to the underworld, or the Dark Yuan Magnetics, the Invisible Earth, and other such methods."

"To be honest, there are some, but... they are all immortal cultivation methods, so the martial arts methods need to be modified."

"Then I can indeed make some changes." An Jing seemed to be thinking about something: "I now have Tai Shi Yuan Sha, but I only have the cultivation and killing methods of gold - the cultivation and killing methods of other attributes must be supplemented now."

"It just so happens that Huo Qing next door is also trying to transform from immortal to martial arts. I can learn some advanced cultivation knowledge in Tianyuan, and then try to create a 'new martial arts' that can blend the advantages of the two worlds."

With the Emperor's Law and 'Tai Shi Yuan Sha', it was very easy for An Jing to create his own law, just like he could easily create a very good martial vein formation diagram, it was easy for him to develop a new law for his brothers.

Not to mention, he could also further enhance his martial arts foundation by creating his own methods and organizing his findings and ideas.

"Leave now?"

Just as An Jing was thinking about it, Canglinzu asked eagerly.

Being by An Jing's side, his fate and magical powers improved faster than he had imagined - it can only be said that fighting and going through tribulations are very training, and his ability to travel through the dark and the dark can already cover more than ten miles in an instant.

"Just wait a moment."

An Jing paused, then walked out of the tent and came to the camp.

An Jing looked at the team in front of him, which looked tired but full of hope.

The frost disaster is over, the sun shines through the dark clouds, and the bright light makes everyone's eyes seem to be shining.

An Jing was not familiar with these people. He was always running and had no time to stop and get to know people, but these people were very familiar with him.

When these people saw An Jing, they stopped celebrating and shouting. They subconsciously turned their heads and looked at their future city lord and mountain lord. They subconsciously clenched their hands and pinched the hats they had taken off because they were too hot.

The way they looked at An Jing was full of trust and hope, admiration and yearning.

An Jing likes this feeling very much. Even though he is not familiar with these people, he likes this feeling.

"I will be away from you for a while."

After thinking for a while, An Jing announced loudly, telling everyone the truth: "I will go to Mingjing Sect to study for a period of time in order to become a more powerful warrior."

"During this period, Xu Tai will be the lord of Fuxie City and will be in charge of all matters."

As soon as these words were spoken, all voices fell silent. People looked at each other, some were worried, some were reluctant, some understood, and some wanted to say something but could hardly make a sound.

What could they say? An Jing was like a meteor, and just passing by was enough to change the existing destiny of a place. They had already escaped from the fate of being trapped in the city as a sacrifice to the devil, and had obtained a new fate as a resident of the blessed land. What qualifications and what position did they have to retain it?

In the end, they could only be relieved and accept: "Congratulations, sir!"

"Long live your life, my lord!"

"I wish you great success in martial arts and great achievements!"

There was a great deal of hustle and bustle, and the voices of blessing rang out. Many of them didn't know what to say, so they could only say some auspicious words, but they were also sincere.

"When everything is over." And in such a blessing, someone asked: "My lord, will you come back then?"

"Do not."

An Jing looked at the other person, who was a young man. Under his leadership, he became a warrior and broke his existing destiny.

Looking at this warrior who was looking at him with almost reverent eyes, An Jing slowly shook his head: "I won't come back when everything is over."

He looked solemn and said seriously: "On the contrary."

"When I return, everything will begin."

After saying this, An Jing turned around and returned to the big tent.

He said: "Let's go."

"okay."

Cang Linzu grinned, raised his hand and put it on An Jing's shoulder.

In a flash, both he and An Jing disappeared.
