?1119 Stars Losing Brilliance, Sun and Moon Shifting (1)

As Xu Qing and the captain stood in the sky, feelings of excitement spread in all directions.

All the Sword Holders were excited. They felt like they had returned to the moment when the appointment ceremony of the county governor of Fenghai County was held.

At that time, Xu Qing also stood in the world like this, his figure landing in everyoneʼs minds.

Today, this figure was even more majestic and imposing.

Hence, under their excitement, these Sword Holders flew out one after another and gathered toward Xu Qing. More and more of them appeared and the entire county capital city emitted an intense battle intent at this moment.

Although Old Master Seventh and Marquis Yaoʼs cultivation and status far surpassed Xu Qingʼs, in everyoneʼs hearts, they seemed to be on a lofty cloud, making people feel like they could observe and not approach.

Because they were too far away.

However, Xu Qing was different. Xu Qing was their comrade-in-

arms. They had walked through life and death together and were familiar with each other. At the same time, they also recognized Xu Qingʼs character.

Hence, while they respected Xu Qing, they were also very amiable.

At that moment, all the Sword Holders were standing beside Xu Qing.

Looking at these comrades, Xu Qingʼs heart stirred. He always remembered the words that Zi Xuan had once said to him. At that time, he, who had just arrived in Fenghai County, didnʼt have much acknowledgment or understanding of the Sword Holders, nor was he certain who they were.

It was Zi Xuan who told him that when he first had respect for this organization and the people inside, he might have an answer.

Respect came from understanding, and his feeling of respect came from the former Palace Master of the Sword Holding Palace, Kong Liangxiu.

All kinds of emotions rose in Xu Qingʼs heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed them because now wasnʼt the time to reminisce about the past.

This great crisis that concerned Fenghai County wasnʼt over yet.

The deceased included only the Soaring Cloud Ancestor and some of the turncoat cultivators from Fenghai County. Perhaps they considered themselves exceptional, able to command authority within their own sphere, and felt they were highly regarded.

However, in reality, in the heart of the middle-aged man sitting on the white elephant, these people were just minor characters in a remote village.

To him, who had come from the Grand Imperial Capital Region and was used to being high and mighty, these people werenʼt important.

He only felt pity about the Soaring Cloud Ancestor.

However, this pity wasnʼt strong.

What made his expression solemn was that Xu Qing and the captain were actually able to kill Nihility with their Spirit Repository cultivation bases. This had never happened even in the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

”Only those super clans in the Wanggu Continent would have seen such situations, but even then, itʼs extremely rare.”

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and his gaze landed on Xu Qing and the captain.

Before this, he had listened of Xu Qingʼs name and knew the significance of this name to Fenghai County. He also admitted in his heart that such a heavenʼs chosen was indeed worthy of being valued so much by Fenghai County.

”This kid isnʼt far from completely growing up. Also, Iʼve never heard of that person beside him before.”

Thinking of this, he slowly spoke.

”Youʼre Xu Qing?”

”Before I came here, I listened the Seventh Prince mention you. He praised you greatly and I have also heard of your result in the Heart Inquisition by the Emperor. Even His Majesty praised you.”

”Therefore, I wonʼt pursue the matter of you killing Soaring Cloud for the time being.”

”You were rewarded with first-class battle merits, a golden plaque, a yellow robe, and the qualifications for the Imperial Academy. I think you have a deep understanding of righteousness.”

”This time, you will be in charge of the conscription of Fenghai County and redeem yourself. Are you willing?”

The middle-aged man on the white elephant calmly spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten thousand battle cultivators wearing red armor and sitting on the giant lizards beside him took a step forward in unison. Their movements immediately stirred up tempestuous waves, causing the sky to change color. A strong wind whistled, forming a storm.

The murderous intent was especially intense. It was as though they would flatten all the obstacles in front of them with a single order.

In Fenghai County, under the guidance of this aura, killing intent also rose. The Sword Holders drew their swords one after another, waiting for Xu Qingʼs order.

The cultivators from the other two palaces and the disciples of the various sects were also solemn.

Xu Qing fell silent and didnʼt answer the military governorʼs question immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the Sword Holders in the surroundings, at all the cultivators in Fenghai County, and finally at Old Master Seventh and Marquis Yao.

The relief in Old Master Seventhʼs eyes deepened as he smiled.

”Youʼve grown up.”

These words completely expressed his thoughts. He handed the decision to Xu Qing.

Marquis Yao glanced at Xu Qing with a dazed expression. Vaguely, he seemed to have seen Kong Liangxiuʼs figure from back then on Xu Qing. Hence, he also smiled and nodded at Xu Qing.

”You have made astonishing contributions to all living beings in Fenghai County. If it wasnʼt for the fact that your cultivation level wasnʼt high enough, the position of County Governor would have belonged to you. Your master and I managed Fenghai County before you grew up. Now…”

”You will decide the future path of Fenghai County.”

As the two of them spoke, the three Palace Masters, deacons, and the experts of the various sects all glanced at Xu Qing with gentle gazes.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and bowed to Old Master Seventh and Marquis Yao. He then turned and glanced at his surroundings. Looking at the gazes of the Fenghai County cultivators, he knew their intentions.

Hence, Xu Qingʼs eyes stirred. He glanced at the military governor and calmly spoke.

”The Human Emperor has decreed that Fenghai County is autonomous. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your words!”

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the aura of Fenghai County erupted. The people of Fenghai County had long wanted to say this but they lacked confidence. Hence, they could only endure it.

Now that Xu Qing spoke it, it was like lightning had exploded, echoing in all directions.

When the middle-aged military governor on the white elephant listened this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he lowered his eyelids slightly and uttered calmly.
