Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 291 We must stop them!
"You mean, one of these people can use a strange method to instantly eliminate the calamity?"

"Yes," the scout replied, bowing his head as he answered the questions posed by the officials before him.

"Aren't you too tired? Staring at the Imperial Advisor all the time is bad for your eyes."

"I've been watching for a long time! I'm sure I didn't see it wrong!" The scout said anxiously, patting his chest to assure him that his method was correct.

The people who were summoned looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

The four of them were highly skilled and naturally knew just how troublesome the calamity was.

Even a single star is bound to get injured, and resolving a calamity often takes a long time. Even someone as powerful as that bald guy from afar would need to accumulate power for a long time to eliminate one of them.

When they heard from the scouts that someone could cleanse the calamity in such an absurd way, the thought that flashed through their minds at the same time was "absolutely impossible."

However, having served under the general for many years, these four would not question the rationality of the matter simply because of their own doubts.

"Is it possible to find those people?"

"Yes, although I dared not use magic on them, I can still roughly guess their direction."

“Okay.” The blind man walked to the young man’s side and put his hand on his shoulder. “You continue to keep an eye on them.”

Upon hearing this, the scout immediately activated a secret technique and looked towards the distant forest.

With a single hand gesture, the blind man instantly captured the entire scene the scout had witnessed.

However, compared to scouts, his vision extended to much greater distances.

He dared not freely explore his surroundings, carefully concealing his gaze.

Before long, he spotted the group traveling through the forest.

Upon closer inspection, even the blind man gasped in shock.

This squad, which appears to be moving about, actually has four stars!

Prince Zhao and his personal guards, Liang Huashan, and one, two, three others.

One, two, three, which handsome young man is the one who keeps pestering you?
The blind man may have heard of this person, but he was not in charge of affairs in the capital, and he could hardly recognize people other than these "old friends".

As they approached the calamity beside the Grand Preceptor, a sense of unease gradually rose in the blind man's heart.

If, as the scouts reported, a group of people could quickly resolve the calamity using strange methods, wouldn't the plan to trap the Grand Preceptor with the calamity immediately fall through?

A sense of tension welled up in the blind man's heart.

The other three people nearby were unaware of what the blind man had seen. They simply stood there waiting quietly. Since waiting was rather boring, they began to chat while observing the situation in the direction of the Grand Preceptor.

The conversation ranged from the current state of the world to the fact that some people in the general's mansion were two-faced and perfunctory in their work. When the topic turned to which tribe of girls in the southern border region had the most shapely buttocks, the blind man in the distance suddenly let go of the scout's shoulder and staggered back a few steps.

"There really is someone who can deal with calamities like this? What kind of skill is this? What kind of skill can be used like this?"

After muttering to himself for a while, the blind man squatted down and started rubbing his head.

He even rubbed off the black cloth covering his head, revealing the dry skin underneath.

Seeing his appearance, the people nearby were shocked and hurriedly gathered around him:
"what happened?"

The blind man slowly raised his head after hearing his companion's voice.

Several of his companions could clearly see the bewilderment on his face:

"A monster came down from below, and he cooked the calamity in a pot..."

"?"

The group was stunned, wondering if the person in front of them had suffered a backlash from the calamity while sharing vision, causing them to go insane. The scout who had been observing immediately spoke up to explain, saying that there was indeed a young man in the group below who had swallowed the calamity alive using a unique method.

Upon hearing this, the few people who remained behind finally couldn't hold back any longer.

If this person had eliminated the calamity through some mysterious and profound method, then they wouldn't have reacted so strongly. After all, the Grand Preceptor had already demonstrated it to them from afar. Now that another highly skilled person has suddenly appeared, they would at most think that it is the Grand Preceptor's backup plan.

What does it mean to swallow disaster whole?
Calamities mostly manifest as various natural disasters. Can these things really be eaten?

The group was completely bewildered and couldn't understand it at all.

The tall, burly man suddenly came to his senses:

"Does he eat quickly?"

"Quickly. It didn't take long to resolve one of the calamities."

"How long will it take him to get to the Imperial Advisor?"

"The fastest will take half a day, and the slowest will take three days."

"How can this be allowed?" The tall man's face was ashen. "We must inform the general immediately! Otherwise, if they release the Imperial Advisor, won't the prince's plan be completely ruined?"

The others quickly came to their senses, and the blind man swiftly pulled a small mirror from his pocket.

He quickly wiped the mirror with his sleeve, then took out an incense stick, rubbed the tip between his fingers, and a spark immediately ignited.

Amidst the rising smoke of cigarette smoke, a male face appeared on the mirror.

He had a thick beard and a resolute face. He was wearing armor, and there were crackling sounds coming from around him, as if he was fighting with something.

This man was none other than the Great General.

Blood splattered on the mirror, and the general raised his hand back.

He gripped a long sword and glanced sideways at the mirror:
"What's going on?" "General, a group of people is almost upon the Imperial Advisor..."

The blind man immediately told the general what he had seen.

The general on the other end frowned, then immediately raised his long sword. With a soft splatter, blood once again gushed into the air.

At that moment, the blind man only heard the screams of the people from the south coming from the other side of the mirror.

It seems the general took advantage of this time to go to the southern border to kill people.

He stood amidst the rain of blood, lost in thought for a moment:
"The prince is almost at the capital. We can't let the Grand Preceptor return at this critical juncture. I have some matters to attend to. Go and inform the surrounding officers to gather here. We don't ask for your lives, we just want to delay them."

After saying that, he immediately cut off the contact.

Only the few people in front of them remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"The general ordered us to stall, how should we stall?"

"We can only rely on numbers. Thanks to the general, there are actually quite a few adjutants. Although their skills are not yet fully developed, they are at least considered to be of some caliber."

“But the other side are all legitimate. I just saw four people clearly, and if you include that young man, there are about five. To the northwest, there are also Jiao Gong and Guo Caizhu, and to the east are the Third Prince’s subordinates. All in all, there are probably close to ten. And that doesn’t even include Wen Zu.”

The blind man started counting on his fingers:
"Almost half of the elite forces from the capital have come, each one skilled and powerful. We, as commanders, now have seventeen of us, some of whom are still working for that donkey-headed fellow. Can we really hold them off?"

At this point, he also felt a bit of a headache.

Originally, the deputy commander was only meant to provide cover, hoping that the calamity would slow down Dianxing's progress. Unexpectedly, a young man, an anomaly, suddenly appeared, forcing them to take part in the battle.

"We have to hold them off, even if we can't. Besides, all we need to do is hold off that team. The others can't break through the calamity quickly for the time being."

The tall general snorted: "First, go and call Donkey Head to bring his men over. Then it's time for Deputy General Li. Where is she now?"

"She was escorting people from the surrounding villages away."

"She did this? At this hour, does she even have the time or inclination to do this? So many of our men could handle this, why does she insist on doing it herself?" The tall man gritted his teeth. "Womanly compassion! I knew she was only thinking of her own agenda, she's not trustworthy!"

"You can't beat her, so keep your voice down."

They blindly shut up.

"Go and tell her the news. She is, after all, a member of the General's Mansion, and she will come."

……

Li Xingguang sat leisurely on the vine, which crawled slowly like a snake.

Many people followed cautiously beside the vines.

Li Ziguang remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger.

Suddenly, a child's soft cry came from the group. Li Guang turned his head and saw a mother tightly holding her child, who was less than a foot tall. The child suddenly started crying, and the mother tried her best to comfort him, but to no avail.

The mother looked exhausted. Suddenly, she realized that Li Guang was staring intently at her. Although Li Guang did not say a word, she looked extremely terrified.

She nervously pulled the crying child into her arms, anxiously watching Li Xinguang.

After a moment's thought, Li Guang gently patted the massive creature entwined with vines beneath him, and instantly a vine extended out, gently spreading towards the mother and child.

The mother's face turned deathly pale. She instinctively shielded her child, her body trembling slightly, as if she were about to take the blame for her child.

But when the vines gently touched their faces, she suddenly realized that they had no intention of attacking.

She stared at the vines with trepidation and was shocked to find a bright red fruit rapidly forming on the branch.

The fruit emitted a strange fragrance and looked sweet and tempting.

The mother swallowed hard and subconsciously looked at Li Xinguang. Li Xinguang nodded slightly before she picked the fruit.

She first carefully tasted a bit herself to make sure there were no toxins before giving it to her child.

After the child took a bite, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

She stopped crying and making a fuss.

Li Guang remained silent, only looking up at the long queue stretching far behind him.

A large portion of these people came from Sichuan, while some came from nearby villages.

When the general made this plan, he had already transferred many people from Sichuan, but now the entire southern border had become the battlefield of Daxing Dianxing, and the aftershocks would still affect the surrounding villages and towns to some extent.

Her task was to be adaptable, but since she didn't need it at the moment, she led her men to evacuate all the surrounding residents.

However, looking at these displaced refugees, Li Guang's heart was still stirred.

But it was only a tiny bit.

She regained her composure.

Just then, she suddenly saw a patch of white dandelion seeds flying towards her from afar.

She reached out and took it, and heard childlike laughter coming from it:

"Someone is approaching the Imperial Advisor! From the northeast! Stop them! Stop them!"

Li Guang's eyes flickered slightly.

The pace in Beijing is really fast.
