They were about to arrive.

“Is that Qinghe County over there?”

The cold night wind at the peak of a high mountain was nothing to a group of Immortal cultivators.

They looked into the distance.

In the dark night, the lights of Qinghe County could be said to be very eye-catching, like the twinkling stars on the Earth.

A state government official heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He was already very tired. Although the excessive exhaustion of the spiritual Qi in his body could be compensated by taking pills,the mental fatigue could not be alleviated by any pills.

He said as if he was relieved of a heavy burden, “This trip was really not easy!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed. The dangers they encountered along the way really made people’s scalps go numb.

Finally…

If it was not for the black-clothed old man sacrificing himself to stall for time until the Spirit Sword Sect’s Nascent Soul stage expert took action… Perhaps all of them would have become food for the demonic beast, and by now, they might have already become a few piles of feces.

However, they were now facing a very important problem, and that was..

The strongest among them, the black-clothed old man, had already died in the desolate mountain.

The remaining five were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, were they qualified to investigate the Sacred Heart Palace demon cultivators that escaped? Wasn’t it too dangerous?

A state capital Immortal cultivator looked at Qinghe county in the distance and raised such a worry. “If the Sacred Heart Palace demon cultivator that escaped here has the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, how can we deal with them?”

As these words fell, the few of them were silent.

It was the Princess, Fu Shuangni, who spoke first. “Just because we suspect that the strength of the demon cultivator is too strong, so we won’t drag them out? If we don’t deal with the demon cultivators, then who will deal with them? Are we just going to let those demon cultivators continue to do evil, kill the people, and slaughter the unaffiliated cultivators?”

She did not say these words out of impulse, but continued very rationally, “I have already used a Communication Talisman to inform the state capital that the higher-ups will send another Golden Core over.”

“Before that Golden Core comes to Qinghe county, it is best that we have already found traces of some demon cultivators.”

“It is best that, with the fastest speed, before these demon cultivators prepare to do evil…”

“Catch them all in one go! Leave none alive!”

No wonder she would personally come to Qinghe County to investigate the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace. Fu Shuangni was more decisive in her work, she would quickly analyze the situation she was in and make a decision.

She would not hesitate.

“Moreover, we still have Sir Li Feiyu, he can help us for a period of time.”

Fu Shuangni said, “Even if the demon cultivators are strong, we can deal with them.”

After this period of time, she knew the Human Puppet’s name. She wanted to build a good relationship with this Li Feiyu.

After all… Their lives were all tied to each other.

Even though there was a Blood Oath, they still felt that it was not very safe.

Unfortunately, this Li Feiyu only cared about money. As long as he was given enough wealth, the others cooperate. However, if wealth was withheld, shewould receive a cold face.

At this moment, the Human Puppet’s low and hoarse voice sounded, “Do we need to rest here or enter Qinghe County directly?”

Hearing that, Fu Shuangni replied, “Sir, we are prepared to enter Qinghe County tonight. There isn’t much use resting here.”

After resting for less than half an incense stick, they headed towards Qinghe County.

The few of them continued to ride their swords, and their speed was very fast.

…

Within the Qinghe County office.

Due to the matter of the demon cultivators in the Sacred Heart Palace a few days ago, the entire county office was in a mess.

Even though a few days had passed, they still had a lot of things to deal with.

In the past, before the sun had set, the magistrate should have left the county office and gone home to enjoy himself with his concubine.

However… Because there were too many things happening recently, he had no choice but to let his concubine suffer a little.

On the other hand, he was sitting in the county office bitterly, staying up until midnight before he could go back.

There was nothing he could do.

He heard that Qinghe County’s Guest Minister Bi Xu had already informed the people from the provincial capital to come.

There were some jobs that he, as the county magistrate, could not handle in time. When the people from the provincial capital came… Then he might be in big trouble!

“Aiyo! My old waist!”

The Qinghe county magistrate, who had been handling official business for the whole day, could not help but touch his old waist.

He could not help but say bitterly, “That group of goddamned demon cultivators, can’t they let people rest for a while?”

“Why must they pick Qinghe County to cause trouble! It’s been hard on me!”

Suddenly, a bailiff from the Yamen ran in in a hurry and attracted the attention of the magistrate. He frowned unhappily and said, “What’s going on? Haven’t I lectured you all on a daily basis? Before you come in, don’t you say hello first before you come in? You’re so reckless, what happened to your decency?”

The constable who ran in was stunned. He tried hard to calm his rapid breathing and organize his words.

Soon after, he said anxiously, “Lord Zhixian, there are more than one Immortal cultivator who have entered Qinghe County!”

“Immortal cultivator?” Zhixian frowned. “So what if they are Immortal cultivators? There are quite a few itinerant cultivators in Qinghe County. As long as they aren’t demons of Sacred Heart Palace, who cares how many Immortal cultivators they are?”

“No… No…” The constable hurriedly added, “They aren’t ordinary Immortal cultivators! They… They all flew in on flying swords!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the magistrate’s eyes instantly widened. Although he was not an Immortal cultivator, he actually knew quite a bit about Immortal cultivators.
