late at night.

Xing'an Prefecture.

The government offices and government buildings were heavily guarded.

Xu Kuo sat on the throne, his face gloomy.

“Gao Qi already has some suspicions about me.”

He put down his wine glass and looked at the Zhenling Guard beside him. "We need to think of a way to clear ourselves of suspicion."

aside.

Another Zhenling Guard sat down, looking helpless: "We helped cover up the matter of Qinglingxi, which aroused suspicion in the first place."

"No one would believe it unless they were a fool."

"How could the carefully selected Zhenling Guards be so negligent?"

Only the two Zhenling Guards were involved in the cover-up.

The other two people stayed behind to be on duty.

Xu Kuo then dispatched him to guard Qingling Creek.

"Has the money promised by the Pavilion Master of West Pond arrived?"

Xu Kuo tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked in a deep voice.

The guard replied, "This person is quite trustworthy; he arrived just now."

"Saturn digital currency has been transferred to a hidden account."

"The rare spiritual materials we agreed upon were stored in a shop called Cangyulou in the Tianlu Sword Pavilion territory, under our names."

Hear this.

Xu Kuo's expression softened, but he said sternly, "We need to find an opportunity to leave the Demon Kingdom as soon as possible and escape to the Heavenly Law Sword Pavilion."

"After getting the items."

"We are brothers, there is hope for the altar."

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the ambition in each other's eyes.

Both of them were temporary voters.

After wasting decades, he barely managed to become a Zhenling Guard, which was already the upper limit of his official career.

He failed all three official voter assessments.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

These two will never have a chance at the altar.

therefore.

They colluded with the officials of Xing'an Prefecture.

They were all bribed by the master of Xichi Pavilion.

They gave away the entire Qingling Creek.

"I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."

Xu Kuo composed himself. "That new governor is really strange."

"Staying here would only lead to more trouble."

aside.

The Zhenling Guard's gaze turned cold, and he said, "In that case, there's no time to lose. Let's set off at dawn."

Xu Kuo frowned and said, "But there are still some resources and collections in Xisha Prefecture that we haven't had time to retrieve."

"We can't worry about that now."

The Zhenling Guard said coldly, "If we are not careful and lose the initiative, it will be too late to run away."

Xu Kuo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Then I'll do as you say."

Having made up their minds, the two began packing their bags.

The Xing'an government office had long been ransacked by the prefectural officials.

There's not much of value left.

at this time.

In the courtyard, only the spiritual materials and plants remain.

They were all uprooted by the two of them.

It was received into my Star Array Bracelet.

"That premonition is getting stronger and stronger."

Xu Kuo put away the bracelet, looked at the gray sky, and narrowed his eyes.

not far away.

Another Zhenling Guard, with a similarly solemn expression, said, "Let's set off."

He stretched out his sleeve and flipped his hand over.

A token appeared in his hand.

The words engraved on it are clearly stated.

This is precisely the order from the "Prefect of Xing'an Prefecture"!
With this item, one can travel to the border of the demon kingdom.

Open the barrier gates of the border.

Freedom to enter and leave the demon kingdom!

"go!"

Xu Kuo changed out of his Zhenling Guard uniform and leaped out!

In an instant.

The two left the Xing'an government office, crossed the Qingling River, and hurried towards the edge of the desolate region!
"Xu Kuo, where are you all going?"

Suddenly, the Zhenling Division's waist token trembled, and a questioning voice came from behind.

It was the other two Zhenling Guards who noticed Xu Kuo and his companion's movement, and that's when they used their waist tokens to ask questions.

As Xu Kuo flew away, he took out his waist token and said perfunctorily, "We have discovered some clues and need to go and investigate immediately!"

The words fell.

He simply waved his hand and threw his Zhenling Division token deep into the mountains and forests!
Another guard from the town also took out his waist token and casually tossed it down.

There's no going back.

"Come on."

The two exchanged a glance and sped up even more!

The desolate land, the Xisha Road.

It is located on the border of the demon kingdom.

Xing'an Prefecture is adjacent to the Witch's Abyss.

Xu Kuo and his men continued their raid with all their might.

The end of sight.

The Heavenly Mirror barrier set up by the Demon Kingdom.

It has become clearly visible!

"He who comes is stopped!"

A group of border guards stared solemnly at Xu Kuo and his companion, drawing their weapons and blocking the entrance!
Xu Kuo's face turned cold: "Kill!"

As a guardian of the spirit town.

Not only is his academic knowledge profound, but his combat strength is also incredibly solid.

It far surpasses ordinary shrines!

boom!
Xu Kuo flashed past like lightning, a long sword appearing in his hand!

Amidst the surging killing intent, a chilling blade of energy was unleashed with a fierce strike!
The entire border guard team was enveloped in it!
Click!

Wow!
The protective light barrier shattered one after another!

Armor shattered, blood and flesh splattered!
More than a dozen border guards were killed instantly, half of them!
The others were also seriously injured and were sent flying backwards with no power to resist!
“The Zhenling Guard is an elite force.”

"How could you mere clay chickens and earthen dogs possibly withstand us!"

Xu Kuo, wielding a long sword, charged toward the remaining border guards with a cold and arrogant expression!
at the same time.

Another Zhenling Guard, holding the prefectural official's token, was hurrying to open the border gate!
Boom!

A deafening roar echoed in all directions!
The border barrier of the demon kingdom is so thick it blocks out the sun.

However, at the very bottom of the barrier on the edge of Xing'an Prefecture, a giant gate appeared.

When the official's token is activated.

This enormous gate is becoming clearer and clearer!

Finally, the giant gate was fully revealed!
"Xu Kuo!"

The Zhenling Guard let out a low shout, casually crushed the token into powder, and leaped up, rushing directly towards the gate!

at this time.

Xu Kuo, wielding his blood-stained longsword, turned around and beheaded a border guard!

See this scene.

The remaining border guards were terrified and fled in all directions!

An ordinary Divine Palace Realm cultivator is no match for the powerful Spirit Suppressing Guard!
"Consider yourselves lucky."

Xu Kuo licked his lips and glanced at the survivors.

Sheathed his longsword, turned, and dashed toward the giant gate!

The two figures moved like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the giant gate!

Just step over this door.

Even after leaving the demon kingdom.

Until then.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly!
"If one day I see the altar."

"We will definitely skin these official voters alive, one by one, and suck their marrow dry!"

Xu Kuo looked up at the border gate.

Deep within his pupils, there was a mixture of longing and hatred.

As a temporary voter.

Over the decades, there have been three opportunities for assessment, all of which were unsuccessful.

He could never become a formal voter in his entire life.

This filled Xu Kuo with intense hatred towards all the official voters!

"Shentai Realm."

He rushed to the edge of the door, his mind racing.

It was as if I could see myself breaking through to the Divine Platform Realm.

but.

next moment.

The border gate right in front of us suddenly vanished!
Xu Kuo didn't react in time. He stared at the Observation Mirror barrier in front of him and froze on the spot!

"How is this going!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the Zhenling Guard who was traveling with him.

The Zhenling Guards also looked bewildered.

While the two were still stunned.

A chillingly cold, blazing white sword aura appeared from the end of the sky.

It tore through the void and roared in!

boom!
The person at the front of the Zhenling Guard Station narrowed their pupils, their mind filled with alarm!

"not good!"

He only had time to activate his protective barrier before he felt an indescribable, terrifying force slam into him! Crack!

The barrier, made of paper, shattered instantly!
A terrifying sword light roared down, its sharpness chilling to the bone!

The towering body of the Spirit Guardian was almost completely shredded by the sword energy!

Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
In the moment before consciousness faded.

The Zhenling Guard looked up at the sky, then fell backward rapidly.

The end of the line of sight.

It was a young man in white robes, wielding a long sword covered in frost and snow.

His gaze was calm as ice, and his snow-white robe sleeves fluttered in the wind.

Standing on a cloud, quietly looking down at myself.

The remaining sword light devoured everything in its path.

The bright red blood stained my vision.

The consciousness of Zhenlingwei was completely plunged into darkness, and he never woke up again.

"Xu Yuan!"

Xu Kuo stood behind, watching helplessly as the Zhenling Guard was torn to pieces by the sword light, his eyes wide with rage!

Both of them were temporary voters of the Xu family.

To show their loyalty, they both changed their surname to Xu.

We worked together in Ling Si, Xisha Dao Town for several decades.

Between Xu Kuo and Xu Yuan.

Not brothers, but closer than brothers!
Xu Kuo's eyes were bloodshot as he raised his head and stared intently at the white-robed youth: "You're courting death!"

He had already recognized him.

This sword-wielding youth is none other than the newly appointed governor of Xisha Road!

This person appeared here.

Clearly stated.

The secret plot between myself and Xu Yuan.

It's been seen through long ago!
"If I see the altar again in the future, I will personally go to Xisha Road and take your life!"

Xu Kuo shook his head vigorously, forcibly suppressing the shock and anger in his heart. He flipped his palm and took out a jade talisman, activating it directly!

Although he harbored intense hatred, he maintained basic rationality.

The Governor-General of Xisha Circuit could not have come alone.

His governor's personal guard was enough to tear him to pieces!
boom!
The jade talisman shattered!

A burst of azure light exploded, penetrating directly into the border barrier!
A new gateway is opening rapidly!

This was Xu Kuo's trump card: the jade talisman of the Special Envoy of the Spirit Suppression Division!

This is a reward given by the Spirit Suppression Division to outstanding Spirit Suppression Guards.

With this jade talisman, one can temporarily enter and exit the borders of the demon kingdom to carry out important official business!

Several decades.

Xu Kuo only received one.

just.

High in the sky.

The white-robed youth had already raised his palm and pointed into the distance!
A terrifying aura condensed instantly!

Avoid death and prolong life!

Time seemed to slow down around Xu Kuo.

His movements slowed down by more than ten times!
Be aware of this.

Xu Kuo's eyes were filled with despair, and he could no longer utter a single harsh word. He could only desperately use his own strength to try to break free from the supernatural power!
As a long-established divine palace realm.

Xu Kuo's accumulated knowledge was extremely rich.

Fueled by the ultimate will to survive.

All his inner strength surged wildly, constantly impacting the surrounding divine energy!
Click!

With a crisp snapping sound.

Xu Kuo miraculously managed to break free from the supernatural powers' restraints and temporarily regain his freedom!
"This supernatural power is truly terrifying!"

Xu Kuo swallowed hard, his face filled with lingering fear!
Deep in his heart, his fear of Jiang Jian had reached its extreme!

The new governor's fighting prowess is truly astonishing!
He casually unleashed a supernatural power, which almost overwhelmed him!

at this time.

The emerald green gates are wide open!

See this scene.

Xu Kuo's body trembled, and a glimmer of hope for survival instantly welled up in his eyes. He shouted hoarsely, "Lady Zhiling, save me!"

High in the sky.

Jiang Jian coldly stared at him, holding Han Guang, and slashed down with his sword again!
boom!
The sword light tore through the air in its path and roared down!

In an instant.

Inside the verdant gate.

An eerie atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.

A faint light spread, transforming into a slender human figure.

She was wearing a black dress and had her long hair down.

He raised his face, gazing at the descending sword light.

"The murderous aura is too strong."

The girl in the black dress spoke calmly, extending her palm and gently stroking it.

boom!
Endless black light surged upwards!

next moment.

The scattered, blazing white sword energy was completely swallowed up by the black light, leaving not a trace!

At the border gateway.

A brief silence fell.

Xu Kuo's eyes darted around, and he hid behind the girl in the black dress. He leaped up and sped toward the emerald green gate!
laugh!
Like passing through a bubble.

Xu Kuo's figure was instantly swallowed up by the portal and disappeared from the spot.

At this time.

Jiang ignored him.

Instead, they turned their gaze to the girl in the black dress.

In one's own perception.

Although this woman's cultivation level has not yet reached the Divine Platform.

Yet it is almost the pinnacle of the Divine Palace Realm!

King Lu You, that kind of production line altar.

The aura they exuded was not as powerful as this woman's!

"People from the Witch's Abyss".

Jiang landed, her expression calm, but her tone was cold.

He noticed.

This woman's true strength is subtly a level higher than mine.

The Divine Palace Realm, although it spans a great distance.

However, within this realm, there are also general hierarchical levels.

My own cultivation time is, after all, too short.

Only three years.

There is still much room for improvement within the Divine Palace Realm.

This woman had reached the edge of the altar.

This is a true peerless genius.

"Feel sorry."

The girl in the black dress spoke calmly, "I was just following orders."

The words fell.

She turned around and was about to leave through the door.

I watched the girl in the black dress walk away.

Jiang Mian's expression turned cold, and the profound energy around him suddenly surged. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed another sword strike!
"Not polite."

The girl in the black dress stopped, tilted her head slightly, and let her long, black hair fall down.

She stretched out her slender white fingers and gently grasped it.

A metal ring blade appeared in his hand!
The ring blade was the size of a wheel, covered with jagged barbs that reflected a cold, icy light!

Keng!
The sound of metal clashing and hammering!

Sparks fly!

The girl turned around and swung her ring blade, forcefully blocking the blade of the Han Guang sword.

At the point of impact, a terrifying sonic boom erupted!

The sound waves rippled up the soil beneath our feet.

It was almost like an earthquake!

boom!
The earth trembled, and a deafening roar resounded.

Jiang Jian loosened his fingers, and the longsword vanished in a flash of light.

A tremendous amount of divine energy surged forth once more!
A crystal mirror, sparkling clear, spun rapidly out.

With incredible, terrifying speed, it crashed directly into the top of the girl's head!

A clear, still mirror, captivating and enchanting!
A terrifying attack originating from the soul!

"Ok?"

The girl in the black dress raised an eyebrow.

For the first time, surprise appeared in her previously calm gaze.

Wow!

The mirror shattered upon entering the acupoint!
A divine aura surged forth, frantically attacking the girl's soul!

"This combination of supernatural powers is simply unheard of."

The girl was taken aback.

Around the soul.

A protective light shield suddenly illuminated.

All the mirror fragments were kept outside and melted into nothingness.

Even so.

Her soul and consciousness.

It was still out of control; it froze for a moment!
"The Wheel of Reincarnation, the Way of the King!"

Jiang saw that there and seized the opportunity.

The spiritual energy surged and boiled!

Behind him, a massive phantom of the Wheel King appeared.

The Dharma Image, dressed in a black and gold royal robe with a halo floating behind him, had a cold gaze. He moved in sync with Jiang Jian, turning around and throwing a powerful punch!
A dazzling golden light shone from between his fists and palms!

Kingly way!

This punch was as powerful as thunder!

Wherever it passed, the air was compressed, producing a booming and explosive sound.

Even the surrounding space exploded!
