Jiang Yuan turned his head abruptly. The fluctuation of the power of law means that there are strong people in the beginning state or the end state.

He quickly found the target, which seemed to be a beacon tower that had been abandoned for a long time, and at this moment a mass of burning fire burst out from above.

In this border city, there are two beacon towers, one west and one east.

On the other hand, the Beacon Tower to the east seems to have been newly built for not more than a few decades, and it was built extremely tall, able to disdain all the buildings in the entire city.The beacon fire above had already been lit once three days ago when the enemy besieged the city.When the city was broken tonight, it was lit again, like a lighthouse in the night sky.

The beacon tower in the west looks low and old, not as tall as some surrounding buildings.And it was so old that it obviously couldn't keep up with the development and expansion of the city and was abandoned.

After the beacon tower was abandoned, the firewood on it had been emptied, but at this time, there was a raging fire for no reason.

Jiang Yuan frowned, and then quickly flew to the beacon tower.

He soon discovered that the flames burning without fuel on the beacon tower were the result of the power of law.

But there were no Beginning Realm powerhouses around, so Jiang Yuan had to carefully check his Beacon Tower.

Soon, Jiang Yuan keenly discovered the source of the fluctuation of the power of law.

He stretched out his hand suddenly and pierced through the stones at the bottom of the beacon tower, grabbing a strange stone from inside.

The whole body of this stone exudes white cold light, and some strange artificially carved lines are faintly shining on it. Inside it, there seems to be the power of magic locked in it.

"This is a kind of... magic! It turns out that the power of law can still be used like this."

Spells, the unique use of the power of law is a spell.

And this stone itself is a kind of magic. It uses formations to seal the power of magic in a special way for a long time, and it can be triggered at a special moment to produce a predetermined effect.

Jiang Yuan's use of the power of law has always been simple and rough, but not as delicate as this.

"The power of law, which seems simple, has been played with various tricks by the strong in this world... It seems that I still have a lot to learn..."

Jiang Yuan himself didn't have much time to enter the Beginning Realm, and most of the use of the power of law was pondered by himself, which seemed rough and direct.

Although this is simple and effective, Jiang Yuan is not sure whether he can maximize the power of the law.

"Then why did this spell suddenly trigger? Is it because of the war, or because of my arrival? Or..."

Jiang Yuan thought of the time when the beacon tower burst into flames, and thought deeply.

A wisp of ghost energy gathered in his hands, and he approached a stone.

Sure enough, the cold light on the stone changed slightly.

After seeing the effect, Jiang Yuan suddenly gathered a large amount of ghost energy in his hands.

At the same time, the cold light on the stone surged frantically, and the flame on the beacon tower instantly rose to several feet high, illuminating the night sky.

But this kind of flame didn't last long, and the magic power in the stone was quickly exhausted.

As the power of this method was exhausted, the stones were suddenly shattered into powder, and the flame suddenly dissipated.

"It turns out that... this beacon tower is used to detect ghosts and warn them of their arrival. And... there are powerful or large-scale ghosts."

From this point of view, this beacon tower should be an extremely important warning building in a city, but it was abandoned for some reason.

Jiang Yuan looked around and searched, and soon found a stable near the beacon tower.

This stable seems to be used to raise military horses temporarily, and the military horses in the stable have disappeared at this time.There was only one old pawn holding a spear, huddled behind the straw pile vigilantly and terrified.

Jiang Yuan then landed in the stable in an instant, and with a lift of his hand, the straw pile was instantly blown away by a huge force, revealing the old pawn behind him.

With a roar, the old soldier rushed towards Jiang Yuan with his spear in his arms.

Jiang Yuan smiled, snapped off the spear with a light palm, and knocked the old soldier to the ground at the same time.

"Don't kill me! Spare me!" The old pawn curled up on the ground, covering his face with his hands and begged in horror.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the old soldier from the ground:
"Why is this beacon tower abandoned?"

The old pawn was already terrified, and immediately said everything he knew:
"It was useless when I was young, even my grandfather was like this when he was young. I heard that it was used to warn the enemies in the Phantom Swamp, and even this border city was built as a defense The enemy's outpost in the Phantom Swamp! But it has been hundreds of years, and no one has come out of the Phantom Swamp. Instead, Yang Guo's army came from the other side of the city!"

"Phantom Swamp?" Jiang Yuan asked, "Where is that place?"

The old pawn pointed towards the west of the city in horror:

"Out of the city and go west, you can reach the Phantom Swamp! No one who goes in outside has ever been able to come out, and the city lord does not allow anyone to enter. That's all I know, please don't kill me!"

It seems that this old pawn knows very little, maybe the city lord he is talking about knows more.

Jiang Yuan then continued to ask:

"Where is the mayor?"

The old pawn's eyes were full of grief and despair:
"When the city was broken, the owner of the city set himself on fire with his whole family and died. Later, the general was in command, but just now I heard from a passer-by that the general also died in battle..."

Jiang Yuan didn't bother to ask any more questions, he pushed the old pawn away, and then flew back into the sky.

In the sky, Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of the Phantom Swamp to the west of the city.

In the dense night, except for the deep silhouette of the distant mountains under the night, there is nothing unusual to see.

But since that spell is used to detect ghosts, it means that there may be a large number or very strong ghosts in the Phantom Swamp it guards against.

Jiang Yuan has always been interested in places with ghosts.

"Fang Family, Fei Family, Yun Muhou, you didn't expect me to be alive, did you? When I return to Xue Country, it will be the time when your two families will be destroyed!"

Jiang Yuan seriously underestimated the power of the artifact, so that he suffered a big loss in Xue Guozhong, almost died, and was exiled to Jianglue City who didn't know where.

This Qiu Jiangyuan must be reported, but he still has to continue to strengthen his own strength.

Only when he is strong enough to face the artifact of the ancestral temple can he completely destroy the two great families.

At this time, Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry to find a way back to Xue Country.

Anyway, in Xue Guo, he has nothing to worry about.It's better to find the ghosts and hunt them first, so that their strength will continue to increase.

The Phantom Swamp became Jiang Yuan's current goal.

"Spell means that there is a strong man from the Beginning Realm. But this strong man from the Beginning Realm who planted spells on the Beacon Tower failed to eradicate the ghosts in the Shadow Swamp, so that he needed to leave a spell guard. This shows that there is The demons are not very easy to deal with..."

Jiang Yuan thought seriously, he still needs more information.

"I can't rush in. It's not good if I encounter a magic weapon. I need to know more about it."

So Jiang Yuan looked down on the whole city again.

The army in the city was almost wiped out by the five ghosts leading the army of zombies. At this time, the army of zombies had already rushed to the barracks outside the city, and the army attacking the city had already begun to retreat.

Of the thousands of siege troops, there were only about 1000 left at this time.

The densely packed soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Jiang Yuan began to imitate the sound transmission spell of zombies in the outworld of the corpse god, and told Aunt Hong and other ghosts outside the city:
"Come back, gather all the living people in the city! I have something to ask."

The five ghosts received Jiang Yuan's order, stopped chasing and killing the siege army, and led the zombie army back to the city.

They sealed the city gate and drove the surviving people in the city to gather towards the square.

These zombies and ghosts are no less intimidating to the living than those of the army, especially after eating a few disobedient living people on the spot, even more.

A small number of siege troops who failed to escape from the city were also trapped among the living. At this time, the people in the city and the siege army faced these zombies and ghosts together, and it seemed that they felt a little bit of a common enemy.

After gathering all the living people, Jiang Yuan began to land slowly.

He hovered over everyone's heads, scanning slowly.

About [-] living people survived in the city. At this time, the entire square was densely packed, and they did not dare to breathe, except for the crying of babies and the barking of dogs approaching in the distance.

Jiang Yuan glanced around, except for some warriors, they were all alive.There are no demons and ghosts in it, and there are no children of the royal family.

He opened his mouth and said:
"All civil and military officials, stand up."

Some courageous officials started to walk out of the crowd, and some timid ones tried to hide in the crowd, but they were quickly pushed out by living people who were afraid of being implicated.

Jiang Yuan began to land on the ground, and he came in front of this group of officials.

A surviving captain of the siege army took a step forward, straightened up and faced Jiang Yuan:

"Although your Excellency has great powers, you haven't figured out the situation yet! With these hundreds of demons, do you really think that you can resist my army of Yang Guo? The army of Yang Guo is stationed in Fawei City behind Yong'an Mountain a hundred miles away. Today you massacred our soldiers, and when my Yang army arrives—”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a bulging meat ball falling from the sky, crushing him into a puddle of meat.

The meat ball stretched out, and it was the ghost fat man.He grabbed two handfuls of meat paste and stuffed it into his mouth, while retreating behind Jiang Yuan.

After such a scene caused a burst of screams, everyone began to be silent, and no one dared to reprimand Jiang Yuan.

Only then did Jiang Yuan speak, and asked all the officials:
"I want to know, what's in the Shadow Swamp?"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other, surprised by Jiang Yuan's question.

After a long time, an official whispered:
"Those royal sects must know."

"Secret sect of imperial law?" Jiang Yuan asked, "Who are they, and where are they?"

The official replied nervously:

"The Secret School of Imperial Law is the guardian of this world, specializing in killing demons and ghosts... I, I am not saying that you are..."

The official wanted to slap himself twice at this moment. The young man in front of him was accompanied by a group of ghosts, and he was probably all ghosts himself.

If I said something about slaying demons and ghosts in front of this mysterious man, wouldn't that be suicide?

When Jiang Yuan heard this, his heart moved. Could it be another name for the royal family in this place?Between the two, is it just the name that is different?
So Jiang Yuan continued to ask:

"Where can I find someone from the Secret School of Imperial Law?"

The officer hastily replied:

"Only the city lord can contact them, but the city lord has set himself on fire and died..."

Jiang Yuan frowned and continued to ask:
"Then besides the Secret Sect of the Imperial Law, does anyone else know what's in the Shadow Swamp?"

Jiang Yuan still decided not to have any contact with the secret sect of imperial law for the time being.

After all, there are a group of ghosts standing behind me now, so I am afraid that those secret sects who slay demons and eliminate ghosts will misunderstand and cause unnecessary conflicts at that time.
