Black Mist Wasteland Anomaly!

As she looked at the continuously falling heads and the execution platform stained red with blood, she felt a churning in her stomach.

She felt like she wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Sen... Senior Brother, shouldn't we go back?"

She tugged on Song Yuanming's sleeve, her words stuttering.

Song Yuanming looked at her pale face and gently shook his head, refusing.

"Wandering the Jianghu will only be more brutal than this, Rongrong. If you can't even accept this, it would be better to return to the Sect sooner."

Even though he was also uncomfortable.

But with demons wreaking havoc, if she couldn't accept such a scene.

How could she establish herself in this man-eating Jianghu in the future?

After hearing Song Yuanming's words, Dongfang Rongrong could only suppress her discomfort.

In the restaurant opposite, a young pair was also watching the scene at the execution ground.

"Afterward, have the Sect thoroughly investigate this Lord Wei's information. He might become an obstacle to our trip!"

Qin Yang's voice was low, his expression serious.

"Senior Brother, what does our Blood Robe Sect's quest for the secret treasure have to do with him? Could he possibly interfere?" Zhao Gao, standing beside him, frowned slightly.

"Whether the Imperial Court interferes is unclear for now, but the anomaly in the Black House Wasteland will definitely not escape the Night Owl Guard's eyes. As the current acting County Magistrate of Qingcheng, he might even be involved."

"Just in case, it's always good to be prepared in advance."

Qin Yang shook his head slightly, patiently explaining.

Information from the battle at the City God Temple last night had already been investigated by those with intentions.

Regarding Wei Qing, any force that had arrived near Qingcheng in the past few days dared not underestimate him.

There were people more powerful than Wei Qing.

But Wei Qing now represented the Heavenly Realm Division, the Imperial Court.

As a local Sect force in Jizhou Prefecture, they were not arrogant enough to dare oppose the Heavenly Realm Division or even the Imperial Court.

However, there were always exceptions.

At the execution ground.

Members of the Fang family were successively beheaded.

Wei Qing sat on the execution platform, silently watching it all.

Time trickled by.

As Fang Youting was beheaded amidst the sighs of the common people, the Fang family's collusion with demons came to a complete end.

Dozens of corpses were piled together, making one's scalp tingle.

A large amount of blood flowed, completely dyeing the entire execution platform red.

"My Lord, the Fang family had a total of fifty-nine people, all of whom have been beheaded. I request your instructions." The County Lieutenant bowed and reported the final results. Upon closer inspection, his face was pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Wei Qing nodded slightly, stood up, and looked at the pile of corpses beside the execution platform.

"The Fang family colluded with demons and betrayed humanity. According to the Great Zhou Law, they have all been beheaded and displayed. Issue an order to bury all the Fang family's corpses in the mass grave east of the city, and forbid anyone from paying respects."

"Anyone found doing so will be punished as an accomplice."

"At the same time, I hope others will take this as a warning."

"Anyone who colludes with demons will have their nine generations exterminated, with no leniency."

Although Wei Qing's words were not loud, combined with the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood before them, they were more deterrent than any warning.

Afterward.

The runners, who had been waiting, began to move the Fang family's corpses onto the corpse transport carts and send them to the mass grave outside the city.

Zhu Huan, who was in charge of the command, saw Wei Qing linger for a moment over the corpses of Fang Youting and the three-year-old child, and understood Wei Qing's intentions.

He then instructed those responsible for transporting the bodies to bury the two separately and properly!

On the other side.

Wei Qing returned to the yamen, changed out of his official robes, and went back to the inn.

As soon as he saw Zhang Zhidong, he spoke directly: "Brother Zhang, have you investigated the reason for the large influx of Sect forces into Qingcheng recently?"

The first time he saw Song Yuanming that day, he had noticed many disciples from various Sect forces had appeared within Qingcheng.

So he instructed Zhang Zhidong to pay close attention and investigate the reason for their gathering in Qingcheng.

"According to reports from my subordinates, they are all drawn by the recent anomaly in the Black House Wasteland. Someone spread the news that a rare treasure had appeared in the Black Mist Wasteland, and then various Sects, big and small, within Jizhou Prefecture sent their disciples to Qingcheng."

"Currently, a total of nine Sect forces have been identified, with the disciples from the Blood Robe Sect, Flowing Cloud Villa, Qingshan Sect, and Tianhai Sect being the strongest."

Blood Robe Sect?

Flowing Cloud Villa?

Wei Qing looked confused, having no impression of these four Sects at all.

"These four Sects are some second-rate Sects near Qingzhou. The strongest in their Sects are at most Fifth Rank martial artists. As for the disciples of the first-rate Sects, they haven't shown themselves yet."

"Perhaps when the rumored rare treasure appears..."

Rumble...

Suddenly, a tremor came from beneath their feet. The two of them hurriedly walked out of the inn to check.

They saw a pillar of red light shooting up into the sky from the southeast of Qingcheng. All the disciples of the Sects within Qingcheng were alarmed, looking at the pillar of light with excitement.

"It's from the direction of the Black Mist Wasteland. Could it be that there really is a rare treasure?"

"Brother Zhang, your mouth is probably blessed. You just said a rare treasure would appear, and immediately, a celestial phenomenon descended, indicating its appearance."

Wei Qing couldn't help but tease Zhang Zhidong.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhidong's mouth twitched. "I wish that were the case. If I had such Spiritual Power, I would immediately wish for all the demons in the world to be exterminated!"

"With a rare treasure appearing, the safety of Qingcheng will depend heavily on you, my lord."

After the battle at the City God Temple, he had a clear understanding of Wei Qing's strength.

He had killed a Sixth Rank and scared away a Fifth Rank.

Wei Qing could definitely be considered the strongest martial artist in Qingcheng right now.

"As the acting County Magistrate and the guardian of Qingcheng for the Heavenly Realm Division, this is my duty." Wei Qing nodded slightly, then his true essence surged, and he spoke to the sky, "I am the acting County Magistrate of Qingcheng. I know why you all have come to Qingcheng."

"But if anyone dares to cause trouble in Qingcheng, don't blame this official for showing no mercy!"

This declaration, like rolling spring thunder, covered the entire Qingcheng, and everyone heard it clearly.

"It's the voice of the acting County Magistrate. What does he mean by that?"

"Why bother about it? With the County Magistrate here, I'm not afraid even if demons come."

"That's right."

Wei Qing's demon-slaying in Longdong Village, the Fang Family's collusion with demons, and his actions at the City God Temple had established strong prestige among the people of Qingcheng.

Song Yuanming, Liu Yang, and other Sect disciples looked at the direction of Wei Qing's Star Cloud Tower with shock.

Amateurs watched the fun, while professionals observed the details.

Wei Qing's move not only demonstrated his powerful strength but also served as a warning to these Sect disciples.

Fortunately, they were here for the rare treasure.

At the same time, a hint of worry also surfaced in their hearts.

If, at that time, this acting County Magistrate also decided to join in, how would they react?

Would they yield?

Or would they fight?
