I am a martial god, proving the way with a sword

Chapter 92: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
The sapphire bottle created a suction force and sucked all the flesh and blood residue into the bottle.

Almost at the same time, Song Boyu also woke up from his confusion. He consumed a lot of energy and mind. Although he gained a lot, his mental and physical conditions were not good.

"Where's the Copper Corpse Puppet Emperor? Where's the crocodile fangs? Why are they gone?"

Song Boyu looked around and asked subconsciously.

Shu Min supported Song Boyu with one arm and said softly: "You have killed the Bronze Corpse Puppet Emperor. The human-crocodile fangs are too dangerous, so I sealed them first. The black-haired spirit rat just stole the Bronze Corpse Puppet Emperor. The chalcedony's corpse ran away, so let's hurry up and leave."

Chen Daorong performed a sword fight, and the flying sword gradually grew in size, reaching over one foot.

The five of them jumped onto the flying sword together without much delay, and soon arrived near the strange stone steps.

The stone steps have crumbled, and a swarm of rats is scurrying about.

They climbed up the corridor, and halfway there, they saw that the road ahead was dead.

Seeing this, Song Boyu said to everyone: "The tunnel should be closed. Let's go back. The cave is connected to the underground river. We can swim from the underground river to the underground river and out!"

He has transformed into an iron corpse many times and is quite familiar with this cave.

The five people discussed it and all felt that Song Boyu's method was feasible. As for breaking through the surface with brute force, it was really not an ordinary time-consuming and labor-intensive one.

This group of old, weak, sick and disabled people really may not be able to do it.

Three days later, Fucheng arrived at the Temple of Saints and Sages, where tens of thousands of people gathered, all wearing plain clothes.

This is a temple dedicated to Zhou Sage and the largest official temple in Shangxiang Prefecture.

Sage Zhou is the common teacher of scholars. He is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, the first dynasty in human history in the ancient times. He has spread the Six Classics and has thousands of disciples.

It is more appropriate to hold a large-scale sacrifice in his temple than in the big temple of the Pillar God. Legend has it that he became a god after death, also known as the most holy man king.

But after all, unlike the Pillar God, who was a monk who imagined gods, Zhou Sheng was just the spiritual ancestor of scholars, and did not really form a force similar to the Holy Land. Not only would it not suppress the imperial power, but it could consolidate the imperial power.

Therefore, the Yu Dynasty consciously attracted scholars and elevated the status of Zhou Sage, the most holy teacher.

Mansion King Siqian also changed into white clothes, with a particularly solemn expression.

He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't do it otherwise. The situation this time was much more serious than the last time Blood Moon Overlord.

During the Blood Moon Overlord incident, the situation was handled fairly well. Not too many people died. The most important thing was a natural disaster.

But this time, the change of the Bronze Corpse Puppet Emperor, the proliferation of living corpses, was like the ancient version of the loss virus, and more than [-] civilians died in the city. This time it was a purely man-made disaster.

In order to appease the people, Wang Siqian had to show off even if he didn't take it seriously.

What's more important is that Fucheng belongs to Sili and is too close to the capital. For such a big thing to happen, the imperial envoy has already arrived, and among the crowd, Wang Siqian can see the scrutinizing eyes of the other party.

Wang Siqian, as the first official official among the characters, naturally came from a wealthy family and had intricate connections. However, he also knew that the government was promoting the examination system and wanted to target some mediocre and weak officials.

Only by overthrowing the character ranking system can the examination system be popularized and help Dayu better win over people from all over the world.

Wang Siqian didn't want to become that typical target. On the one hand, he was trying to smoothen the relationship, and on the other hand, he was holding this city-wide public memorial.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Siqian's voice was low, but under the influence of the magic, tens of thousands of people could hear it clearly.

"At the beginning of the husband's ceremony, the food and drink begins. He burns millet, eats pigs, and holds him to drink, and eats corn and drums, which can still be used to pay respect to ghosts and gods..."

The lengthy opening remarks and unsound elegance made the people gradually dissatisfied. Many people in the audience were whispering or even cursing.

Where did the corpse change come from, how did it disappear suddenly, and whether it will reappear in the future? These princes didn't say anything, they only said some incomprehensible words.

Xiu Niang wore a white gauze on her head, a white skirt, and white shoes. She looked very haggard, and she just knelt on the ground quietly, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Du Li was also wearing white clothes and a white square scarf, with red eyes.

Xun Feipeng, Ba Ang and others accompanied the two of them and waited here together.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Fu? We want to know who the real culprit is!"

I don't know who yelled, and the scene immediately became chaotic. The people whose relatives had died were crying and angry. Everyone wanted to have a channel to vent, but there was nowhere to vent.

It seemed that some unknown person was instigating the incident, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.

"Punish the real culprit, punish the real culprit!"

"Catch the evil cultivator and peel off your skin and cramps!"

"The prince is incompetent, step down!"

"Return the life of my relatives!"

……

Curses and cries were heard, and the crowd continued to commotion, like black clouds over the city, as if the next moment it would turn into a hailstorm, crushing King Siqian to pieces.

The imperial envoy frowned. He was from the Wangzheng Restoration School and belonged to the same camp as Wang Siqian.

After finally getting this opportunity, he just wanted to win over Wang Siqian, the magistrate of Shangxiang Prefecture, so that he would not become that target.

But now it seems that things are getting worse.

"Wang Siqian, who has lost all his noble birth and good looks, thinks he is talking about magic? Talking like this to a group of common people is simply ridiculous and not a good idea!"

The imperial envoy felt that he had taken on a very difficult task, and he had to take decisive action to seize power immediately, suppress Wang Siqian and hold him accountable, so as to comfort the people and quell the chaos.

At this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from the door outside the Holy Sage Temple.

"Ping Yilang officers Du Renlong, Shu Min, Chen Daorong, San cultivator Wu Yan, and civilian Song Boyu have returned from beheading the evil cultivator who transformed into a corpse! With the evidence of the evil cultivator's flesh, flesh, and water breath, please invite the Lord, please Jingping Order an inspection and report your merits!"

The voices of the five people resounded throughout the Holy Sage Temple, and everyone looked sideways.

Back to two hours ago, Song Boyu and others swam in the dark river for nearly three days, finally surfaced and came to the suburbs.

After all, immortal cultivators have many methods. Although they are all close to running out of oil, breathing in water is not a particularly troublesome technique. Even Song Boyu has mastered it and can move freely in the water with a big bubble on his head.

When the five people surfaced, they happened to see a huge catfish monster fighting with a woman in white in the water. Chen Daorong used his flying sword to chop the monster into two pieces.

"Boyu? How did you come out of the water?"

The person fighting the catfish monster was none other than Lu Qiuming, whom she had not seen for a long time. She was still wearing flowing white clothes, blindfolded, and had an elegant and ethereal temperament.

After the death fight incident in the martial arts hall, Lu Qiuming went to the wilderness again, slept in the open air, and fought with wild beasts and monsters. Not only did he not die, but his skills improved and he had achieved a small degree of supernatural power.

Considering that she has the unique skill of mind's eye and can observe her own situation, it is not surprising that her divine power has advanced by leaps and bounds.
