The Spiritual Energy Revival Began in Zhangjiajie

185: Chapter 185 The MistThe third day.

Xueyu County.

Xueyu County is rich in Blood Jade, and it was named Xueyu County for this reason.

Xueyu County was a bustling, large county.

But on this day.

All high-level warriors in Xueyu County received a summons.

When the County Magistrate appeared in the hall, all the Martial Artists stood up respectfully and greeted him.

“Greetings, heroes!”

“The County Magistrate is too polite!”

Many warriors immediately replied.

The County Magistrate then sat in the empty seat at the head of the hall, and everyone else took their seats as well.

“I wonder what important matter the County Magistrate has summoned us for?!”

As soon as he sat down, a Martial Artist stood up, cupped his fists, and asked.

“All you heroes are aware of the bounty matter during this period, right?”

The County Magistrate said in a heavy voice.

“We know!”

Everyone immediately replied.

Thinking of this, every person present felt a bit of anger.

They were all leaders of their own factions, yet despite mobilizing so much manpower, they hadn’t managed to outcompete a single Fast-swordsman, Ai Chang.

How could one not be angry about such a thing!

Thinking of this, many people in the hall were gnashing their teeth in frustration.

If not for their wariness of Ai Chang’s strength and the way the various factions held each other back, they would have made a move to snatch it long ago.

Everyone present represented a faction within Xueyu County.

These factions had formed over a long time, and a balance had long been established among them.

A few taels of gold could truly break that equilibrium. Thus, it was fortunate that a loner like Ai Chang had obtained the gold; if it had been anyone else, there likely would have been a bloodbath already.

Furthermore, even though Ai Chang’s strength was not weak, there were naturally those who were stronger.

It was just that whenever these people wanted to seize the gold from Ai Chang’s hands, others would naturally trip them up.

Because of this, Ai Chang was able to take the gold away safely.

By the second day, when everyone wanted to seize it, Ai Chang had also disappeared.

“In the past two days, I have received word that someone in the nearby Tieliu Village has been silenced!”

“Moreover, the manner of death is exactly the same as the villages from some time ago.”

“They were all sucked into dried corpses, with the flesh and blood inside their bodies completely gone!”

The County Magistrate’s voice was heavy.

Hearing these words, everyone was momentarily stunned.

“Tieliu Village... Isn’t that where Ai Chang was staying...”

The County Magistrate nodded, his brow furrowed. “It’s not just that. Yesterday, at the place where the corpse of that Evil Entity was kept, dried corpses also appeared. The Coroners on duty are all dead!”

Hearing this.

The expressions of everyone present became solemn.

They had also participated in the bounty matter.

But because of that, they understood even more clearly the horror of what the County Magistrate called an Evil Entity.

No one knew exactly when these things called evil anomalies had first emerged.

They started in the north.

And they appeared sporadically.

But now, they have even appeared here in Xueyu County in the south.

Although the numbers were not yet large, it had already drawn the attention of the entire Xueyu County.

However, such terrifying news was naturally suppressed; only prominent people like them knew about it.

“May I ask, Lord, is that Evil Entity not dead?! Or is there another one...”

“I do not know either...”

The County Magistrate shook his head.

“The day before yesterday, I saw the body of that Evil Entity myself, and there were indeed no signs of life. But now that it has suddenly vanished, I don’t know if it was resurrected or if it came from outside!”

“I only know that if we allow that Evil Entity to continue growing, I fear our Xueyu County will repeat the tragedy of Tieliu Village!”

The County Magistrate sighed softly.

He was also helpless in this matter.

The issue of evil anomalies had already caused massive upheaval in the north.

But the Imperial Dynasty had adopted a method of blocking information, unwilling to announce the news.

They were afraid of causing widespread panic.

There was one most important point in this: it seemed that emotions like panic and terror could attract the evil anomalies and even allow them to grow faster.

“Lord, do not worry. Our Xueyu County is not comparable to those villages. You must know that we have three Golden Body Warriors here!”

A powerfully built man stood up and said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, the spirits of everyone present were instantly lifted.

Although the evil anomalies were powerful, Golden Body Warriors were even more formidable.

The Golden Body is indestructible!

This was the strength of a Golden Warrior.

This was not just empty boasting by the Guanglan Civilization.

The Golden Warriors born from their path of cultivation continuously absorbed gold, causing the gold to undergo Fusion with their Physical Body to form an indestructible Golden Body.

Warriors of this level, even when competing in the past against Golden Warriors from the Panxi Civilization or civilizations like the Delai in the 357 Star Sector, the Guanglan Civilization won more often than they lost.

It was just a pity.

The development of this path for the Guanglan Civilization had not yet taken the next step.

Some had proposed absorbing even more powerful metals.

But unfortunately, the Legendary Stage required not just physical strength, but also a spiritual transformation.

The Golden Stage is the limit of planetary life.

The Legendary Stage, then, is when life breaks through its limits and reaches a level of invincibility on land.

The Guanglan Civilization had not yet achieved this step.

“Mm, that is true. I also believe in the strength of you heroes, which is why I called you all here to discuss this!”

The County Magistrate looked at everyone’s expressions with satisfaction.

He had summoned them precisely to resolve this matter.

Without settling this, he couldn’t sleep soundly at all.

After all, many large cities in the north had already been completely consumed by evil anomalies, and he didn’t want to be sucked dry while he slept.

However.

Just as he was about to continue giving instructions.

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out.

It was not just that.

Listening closely, one would find that screams were coming from all directions.

“What is happening?!”

The County Magistrate was immediately startled into standing.

Everyone present also jumped up in alarm.

They ran straight out of the hall, only to see a mist slowly rising from all directions.

This caused the light in the sky to begin turning blurry.

One scream after another rang out.

Listening closely, they were actually spread throughout the entire city.

At this, everyone’s scalp tingled with fear.

“An Evil Entity?!”

They looked at each other, and the next moment, their faces showed expressions of rage.

They were just discussing it, and it had actually broken out immediately!

Immediately, the crowd walked quickly toward the outside of the county yamen.

But as soon as they pushed open the door.

They saw a man outside suddenly lunge forward, charging toward the group.

The person’s face was deathly pale, and strands of pitch-black fleshy sprouts were wriggling on top of his head.

His eyes had become completely black; there were no pupils or whites, only blackness.

Like sludge from an abyss.

Boom!!!

The man’s body erupted with power, trailing afterimages as he attacked the group.

“How bold!!!”

The burly man who had spoken earlier stepped forward directly.

With a roar of anger, he threw a sudden punch.

Guanglan energy exploded, and his pair of fists suddenly turned into cast gold; in an instant, the very air was blasted apart.

The charging man was instantly sent flying.

Before he could even hit the ground, he was blown to pieces by the violent force.

Pitch-black blood splashed everywhere, and fleshy sprouts wriggled at the edges of his broken body—it was truly sinister and evil.

However, the matter was not over.

Even though the man’s punch had blasted the air and the spreading force had even caused a ten-meter-long crack to boom into the yamen wall.

It still did not end the matter.

In an instant, dozens of figures walked out from the mist.

Those people all had deathly pale faces and were staring at the group gloomily with pitch-black fleshy sprouts.

And in the next moment, they surged forward even more crazily.

At this scene, the faces of those present changed instantly.

Because many of these were figures they were familiar with.

They were all citizens of Xueyu County.

Everyone knew that things had become troublesome!

In fact, it wasn’t just Xueyu County.

If one were to look down from outer space at this moment.

One would clearly see patches of mist rising from all directions across the land.

The posture seemed as if it were going to envelop the entire planet.

And at the same time.

The Purple-Gold Warship in the starry sky continued to approach along its preset orbit.

In the room, Ralva was holding the pale gold dagger, continuously refining it.
