665 Xu Qing Represents the Palace Master! (3)

“You have full authority over my token now!”

The Palace Master’s voice was filled with deep fatigue. The moment his voice transmitted, a golden light descended from the large net in the sky, heading straight for the Palace Master’s token on Xu Qing’s body. Waves of cracking sounds echoed as this token was fully activated.

“I respect the order!”

Xu Qing replied solemnly. He didn’t ask anything. He knew that the battlefield was in a precarious situation and also understood the importance and urgency of this decree.

He was also very clear that the war must have reached a critical stage. Otherwise, the Palace Master wouldn’t have made such an arrangement. He should have been able to calmly mobilize his troops and obtain supplies.

Only an extremely urgent matter would make him ask Xu Qing to stop the investigation and carry out an even more important mission.

” Palace Master doesn’t trust others, be it Marquis Yao who is fighting in the northern battlefront, the Law and Observance Palace Masters, or the Deputy Governor who stayed behind. That’s why he asked me to work with the Deputy Governor to handle the matter of the supplies and soldiers for the frontlines.”

“It seems like he wants me to share some burdens for the Deputy Governor, but he is actually asking me to monitor the Deputy Governor. Moreover, with the Palace Master’s way of doing things, he should have made other arrangements as well. There must be other Sword Holders implementing them everywhere. I might just be one of them here.”

Xu Qing was worried about the battlefield, so he hurriedly left Mount Morning Glow with Ning Yan.

Fortunately, he didn’t come for nothing. In the three days before the Palace Master’s decree arrived, he had communicated with Sun Hai and indirectly inquired about the morning glow. He found out that every time the morning glow emerged, it would slowly and continuously form some special rainbow powder in the area where it appeared.

This powder usually appeared for a duration of ten years. At the start, it would glow weakly, but this light couldn’t be used or collected and would gradually dissipate as time pa.s.sed.

The powder that was formed in the end no longer contained the morning glow and thus ended this phenomenon.

This detail helped Xu Qing find some clues.

The clues he found didn’t come from the details of the 700-odd rays of light recorded in the archives, but from the G.o.d’s finger.

Xu Qing felt that since the other party could find the morning glow that hadn’t been recorded, someone who had the will would definitely be able to do it.

Hence, he tried to call out to D132’s sleeping finger. After finally awakening Its consciousness a little, Xu Qing communicated gently. Under various promises, he asked the other party about the location of morning glow.

The communication process wasn’t very smooth. The other party was really too forgetful.

It took Xu Qing three days to search through many areas before he finally found the place where the G.o.d’s finger had discovered the morning glow. That place was a remote underground crack.

In the crack, Xu Qing saw a puppet that had died not long ago. There was still a hint of the aura of the G.o.d’s finger on it, but its appearance was completely shattered. He could only see a rough outline.

There was also some rainbow-colored powder that contained a weak morning glow, but the light was dissipating slightly. Xu Qing judged that it would indeed take about ten years for it to completely dissipate.

There was a small amount of powder which emitted an even weaker glow. From the looks of it, it would completely dissipate in another year or two. These powders were mostly on the puppet’s body.

Clearly, someone had set up this puppet here to collect the powder and erase traces.

From this judgment, it wasn’t difficult to know that a ray of morning glow had appeared here eight to nine years ago!

However, just like Xu Qing’s ray of morning glow, the Sword Holding Court didn’t have any records on this ray too. Clearly, as soon as it appeared, it was directly taken away before it could fly out.

This discovery made Xu Qing realize that the Palace Master’s guess about the Radiant Life Calamity Pill was most likely correct.

In other words, there was a high chance that the County Governor’s death was related to this pill.

Xu Qing and Ning Yan left Mount Morning Glow with this clue. The shattered puppet was also taken away by Xu Qing.

Teleportation couldn’t be done in this province. Hence, the two of them sped all the way to the county capital.

On the way, Ning Yan opened his mouth many times to say something but when he saw that Xu Qing’s expression was still gloomy, he was afraid and didn’t dare to ask. However, the complicated feelings in his heart were still earth-shattering even now.

In reality, when he was at the Ten Guts Tree, he already felt that something was wrong and had made a guess that even he himself didn’t believe. However, Xu Qing’s familiar slap earlier made him feel as though his soul had been slapped out.

“The person who bit me must be Chen Erniu. Could that guy be a mad dog? Not only did he bite me, but he also bit the Heavenly Dao in the end. He ended up having his body destroyed and only head was left. Serves him right!”

Ning Yan was filled with grief and indignation, but there was nothing he could do. He recognized the vine on his stomach and knew that it was extremely difficult to remove.

He had been communicating with the Sword Holders on Mount Morning Glow for the past three days. When he found out that the County Governor had died and the Holy Wave Race had invaded, the shock in his heart was extremely intense. Compared to this, he suddenly felt that this matter of his was nothing.

Just like that, three days pa.s.sed.

During these three days, Xu Qing used his full speed and brought Ning Yan out of the Morning Glow Province and crossed the province line, stepping into the territory of the county capital.

There was no need to continue hiding his tracks here. He found a teleportation array and returned to the county capital.
