But Su Fei knows in his heart that this battle with the White Lotus Sect is far from over, and a greater crisis may still be waiting for them ahead.
And the death of Ji Xunjiang was like a thorn, reminding him that only absolute power can ensure his safety.
Wait until the battle is over.
The soldiers of the Great Xuan Army dispersed according to the order of Du Tianwu to clean up the battlefield.
The soldiers responsible for collecting the corpses worked in pairs, picked up the scattered White Lotus Sect flags with spears, dragged the traitor's corpses to a designated area and piled them up, then poured kerosene on them to prepare for burning.
Firstly, it can prevent the spread of plague, and secondly, it is the most direct punishment for rebels.
There are also people who specialize in collecting weapons and armor left on the battlefield, and put the intact ones into the arsenal, while the damaged ones are piled up together for subsequent melting and reuse, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
On top of the city tower, Su Fei stood leaning on the railing. The Spring Embroidered Saber around his waist had long since been sheathed, but he still had a lingering murderous aura.
He did not go downstairs to participate in cleaning the battlefield, but just looked at the battlefield.
He was always paying attention to the fluctuations of the heaven and earth energy around him, and the power of the soul radiated out, like a large invisible net, covering the entire Upper Valley Commandery City building and the surrounding areas for several miles.
He felt something strange in his heart.
The Celestial Person Realm assassin who assassinated Ji Xunjiang seemed to have disappeared from the world and never appeared again.
Su Fei knows very well that the opponent will never retreat easily. There is a high probability that he is hiding in the dark, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take action.
Perhaps he was afraid of his own strength, or perhaps he was waiting for a more favorable situation.
Power of Heaven and Earth circulated quietly around him, ready to respond to sudden attacks at any time, until the battlefield cleanup came to an end.
He didn't see any assassins attacking, so Su Fei finally let down his guard.
At the same time, inside the Yan Kingdom Fishing Sun Commandery County Sheriff's Mansion, there was a different scene.
The former office and living space of the county magistrate has now been quietly occupied by the White Lotus Sect.
In the open space in the courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, there are dozens of blue-white spiritual stones the size of fists. Rich and pure vitality overflows from the spiritual stones like substance.
In the center of the courtyard, a young man was sitting cross-legged on a futon, wearing a moon-white brocade robe.
This man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a plump and handsome face, and a cold and pure temperament all over his body.
At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, and the spells all over his body were circulating. The vitality escaping from the spirit stones seemed to be drawn, and poured into his body along the acupuncture points all over his body.
I don't know how long he had been practicing, but the young man slowly opened his eyes, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he let out an inaudible sigh.
He raised his hand and brushed the spirit stone beside him. Wherever his fingertips touched, the luster of the spirit stone dimmed a bit.
"This speed is really slow. This Southwestern Lesser Continent's vitality of heaven and earth is really pitiful."
There was a bit of impatience and disgust in his tone.
"It's not even as good as the most remote county town of the Profound Origin Divine Dynasty, and the concentration of vitality is less than one-tenth. If I didn't bring these spiritual stones to practice, my cultivation speed would only be slower."
How long will it take to get enough resources to attack Nirvana Realm?
The tasks assigned by Master still need to be completed as soon as possible.
It is useless to stay here, and it will actually delay your own practice.
As his thoughts flowed, a gentle knock came from outside the courtyard door, and then, a respectful voice penetrated the door.
"Dugu, young master, my subordinate Xuan Ling would like to see you."
The man known as the young master Dugu is named Dugu Fengming.
His identity is Profound Origin Divine Dynasty White Lotus Sect Headquarters, the fifteenth direct disciple of the leader.
He raised his eyes towards the courtyard door and spoke in a calm tone.
"Xuan Ling, come in and report."
The courtyard door was gently pushed open, and a man in black robe walked slowly in with a restrained aura. He was the Celestial Person Realm assassin Xuan Ling who successfully assassinated Ji Xunjiang.
After he entered the door, he knelt down on one knee, his posture was extremely respectful, and he did not dare to go any further.
"Subordinate Xuan Ling, see Young Master."
Dugu Fengming's voice was still calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but his eyes fell on Xuan Ling with a sense of scrutiny.
"How did things go?"
Xuan Ling took a deep breath and reported in a deep voice.
"Back to my young master, you previously ordered your subordinates to act separately from Xuan Feng. Your subordinates went to the governor's mansion of Upper Valley Commandery to assassinate the governor Ji Xunjiang, and they have succeeded."
"Xuan Feng went to assassinate Du Tianwu, the commander-in-chief of the Great Xuan Army. When he met his opponent Celestial Person, he unfortunately failed and died on the spot."
"Then I taught my soldiers to attack Upper Valley Commandery, but several Martial Saint Realm leaders in the formation were all killed by a strong Celestial Person Realm who accompanied Great Xuan Army. The army was defeated and suffered heavy losses."
Dugu Fengming heard this, raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then asked casually.
"Oh? The strong Celestial Person Realm of Great Xuan set out with the army? Isn't Great Xuan just a strong Celestial Person Realm? Is he the Prince Who Pacifies the South of Great Xuan in the intelligence?"
From the information he got, the only strong Celestial Person Realm that Great Xuan could handle was Prince Who Pacifies the South.
Xuan Ling hesitated for a moment.
"Back to Young Master Dugu, he should not be Prince Who Pacifies the South. The man's face is extremely young, he looks no more than 20 years old, but his strength is extremely strong. His subordinates can sense his aura from a distance and know that they are no match. The subordinate is now Celestial Person Realm, Fourth Level, but they are not even sure of facing him head-on, so they always hide their aura on the battlefield and never take action."
These words made Dugu Fengming a little more interested. A glimmer of light flashed in his originally indifferent eyes, and he leaned forward slightly.
"Oh? So it turns out that this is Celestial Person, Great Xuan's new recruit? This can make you, Celestial Person Realm, Fourth Level, feel troublesome. It seems that this boy's strength should not be underestimated."
After thinking for a moment, he thought of his previous mission.
"So, it is possible that this person could have done the killing of the three Celestial Person Realm outer disciples."
Xuan Ling nodded quickly.
"My subordinates feel the same way."
Dugu Fengming's eyes gradually turned cold, and the air around him seemed to solidify, and Peak Ninth Level of the Celestial Person Realm's aura emanated.
"Since he has the ability to kill three of my outer disciples and ruined our plan, he must not be allowed to stay."
"I would rather kill by mistake than let go."
"You first secretly find out his identity and origin."
"At the same time, give an order to assemble the believers again and continue the attack on the Yan Kingdom Upper Valley Commandery. I want to go and meet this person in person."
"I will take the opportunity to avenge Xuan Feng, and then destroy this Yan Kingdom force, and transform all the people of the Yan Kingdom into my White Lotus Sect followers."
"Then we will mobilize these people to look for the murderer. I don't believe that the murderer will be found."
Dugu Fengming said lazily.
"The left and right are just small countries of the Southwestern Lesser Continent. If they are destroyed, they will be destroyed."
"When the murderer is found, all the national forces in this small continent will be wiped out, and everything will be changed to my White Lotus Sect orthodoxy. If so, this trip will not be in vain."
