After the great war, a large area in Tianyue City had to be filled and rebuilt, which was a huge project.

If it weren't for the isolation of the Three Spirits Formation, then with the power of the previous battle, the entire Tianyue City would have been destroyed and would no longer exist.

This is one of the reasons why Da Qi does not allow high-level practitioners to display their strength or fight with others in densely populated areas.

Today you are fighting in Tianyue City, and tomorrow he is going to fight in Zhongtian City. In an instant, the city will be destroyed and people will die, and the country will decline.

The destructive power is too strong.

The Tianyue Five Spirits Mysterious Light Array was still maintained and had not dissipated. Zhou Qing could guess that Manager Wu had other ideas.

He walked over to Wu Duguan, the Dingwu Division Duguan who was standing in front of Ye Zhong's body.

Ye Zhong opened his eyes and looked at Tianyue City, but he had lost all hope.

Wu Duguan said in a low voice:

"Ye Chong died because his life span ran out."

At the last moment, Ye Zhong did not fight with Zhou Qing and the others. After the formation defense was broken, he died directly.

From the beginning to the end, Ye Zhong never did anything himself, he was the main person in charge.

Zhou Qing said softly: "He presided over the Five Spirits Mysterious Light Array, and then we broke through his defenses. He exhausted all his energy, and the last of his life... was gone in a flash."

Life span is something that becomes less useful the shorter it is. The older you get, the more you feel that time is merciless and the faster it passes.

If a cultivator only has a few years left to live, then a not-too-intense battle can kill him instantly.

Ye Chong's situation is normal.

He is indeed old and dying, otherwise he would not make such a decision.

Wu Duguan was silent for a while, then said:

"This result...can be considered as leaving myself with a bit of dignity."

Sitting in meditation at the end of his life might be the best ending for Ye Chong.

It was like being killed directly by former colleagues, or being captured alive and then escorted to Zhongtian City for punishment.

If it's the latter, it will never taste good.

Now, that's all.

Wu Duguan said: "Leave his body to me."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, without any objection. After a pause, Zhou Qing suddenly said:

"He held back, otherwise Tianyue City... would have been destroyed."

Wu Duguan remained silent and sighed.

"After all, he has colluded with the Tianmu Cult. His crime has been determined. There is no point in holding back."

Ye Zhong did hold back. If he had really wanted to, he could have mobilized the power of the Xuan Guang Array to bombard other areas during the battle between the two sides.

Areas like those where civilians live are unprotected. A ray of mysterious light could destroy everything and create countless innocent souls.

If Ye Chong did this, then by the time Zhou Qing and the others dealt with the people from the Tianmu Sect and ended the battle, Tianyue City would have been completely destroyed.

Apart from them, no one will survive and it will become a dead city.

But Ye Zhong did not do so.

Zhou Qing remained silent, thinking about Ye Zhong's state of mind at that time.

There is no doubt that they are colluding with the Tianmu Sect.

However, when the two sides were fighting just now, Ye Zhong might have been conflicted.

He had guarded the city for decades, was he going to destroy it with his own hands? A single thought made him choose not to do so.

This is not to whitewash Ye Chong. It is a fact that he colluded with the Tianmu Sect and prepared to massacre Tianyue City. He cannot escape the blame.

He has made his own choice, which is to fall into the evil path. The death of County Magistrate Chen cannot be ignored.

Ye Chong's life is coming to an end. He wants to live. Doesn't Chen Jun Shou want to live? Don't the people of Tianyue City want to live? Some things are done and they are evil. They cannot be forgiven just because you may have a little kindness in your heart at that time.

When the devil killed innocent people, could it be forgiven if he was heartbroken and hesitant? Obviously not.

However, people are always contradictory. For example, he persuaded Zhou Qing to leave yesterday, and did not massacre the civilians tonight while the two sides were fighting. These are manifestations of the contradictions in his heart.

It is foreseeable that if Zhou Qing cannot deal with Venerable Yintian, if the masters of Tianmu Sect kill Zhou Qing and his group.

In the end, Ye Chong will surely not have any hesitation and will directly release the power of the formation to destroy everything. He will use the secret method of the Mother of Heaven to gather the lives of the whole city and attack the Yin God.

"Stopping him can be considered as preserving the last bit of dignity of the chief of the Ghost and God Department of Tianyue County." Zhou Qing sighed lightly.

Compared with colluding with the Tianmu Sect and colluding with it and massacring an entire city, the latter would definitely have a worse reputation.

Now with their presence, Ye Chong’s attempted massacre of the city failed, and the worst outcome was avoided.

I'll see Lu Qingmo again someday, and it'll be an explanation.

Zhou Qing was suddenly distracted, thinking that if he had left Tianyue City yesterday, Ye Zhong’s plan would have been accomplished tonight.

The last bit of kindness Ye Zhong showed to Zhou Qing was actually kindness to himself.

Unfortunately, because of the golden finger this month, Zhou Qing was forced to stay, which directly led to the current result.

To be honest, if the golden finger this month is not the [Mysterious Treasure Chest], or the treasure chest is not in Tianyue City.

After Ye Chong persuaded him yesterday, he must have left and would not have stayed for long.

No, if that were the case he would definitely not come to Tianyue City.

"I will report what happened tonight to Zhongtian City truthfully. Someone will definitely come down to deal with it when the time comes. I may need your presence to cooperate."

Wu Duguan added: "After all, the people Ye Zhong invited were the three of us."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "I understand. I won't leave for the time being."

Such a big thing has happened, and he, as the person involved, must cooperate in handling the follow-up. It is impossible for him to just walk away.

The county ghost and god department's chief manager colluded with the Tianmu Cult, the county governor died, and Tianyue City was robbed...

These things have to be reported to Yujing, let alone Zhongtian City. They are really no small matters.

Zhou Qing looked at Wu Duguan and asked:

"Are you okay?"

He shook his head, "Just some injuries, no big deal."

Zhou Qing said: "It's better to get treatment as soon as possible."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Some of the injuries sustained by Wu Duguan were not minor.

First he was ambushed by Ye Zhong, and then by stalling for time and with the help of Zhou Qing's detoxification pills, he barely recovered, but later he was thrown into the battle again.

Those demons are not so easy to deal with. At the beginning, they did not have the help of the Three Spirits Formation. Wu Duguan was seriously injured. It is estimated that it will take a long time to recover after this time.

Zhou Qing suddenly said, "I've been to the Huang family just now. After the power from my fight with Venerable Yin Tian leaked out, a lot of areas were destroyed, and there were heavy casualties."

Although he only used one Taoist technique, which was not his own, how could this not be considered a fight? "The Huang family..." Wu Duguan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"If you surrender to the Tianmu Cult, your entire clan will be imprisoned!"

Huang Teng, the head of the Huang family, had died in the battle just now. The mysterious light fell and no trace of his body was left.

To be precise, anyone who was killed by the Xuan Guang Formation would have his body and soul scattered, with nothing left.

Only those who died at the hands of others left behind their bodies.

"He really deserves to die." Zhou Qing nodded, and then said, "But wasn't what I did a little unruly in the Huang family's matter this time?"

Wu Duguan was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

"Zhou Xunyou is a man who holds grudges. You still remember what I said when we first met."

"What Wu Duguan said was a revelation to me. I will never forget it."

They both laughed and found it funny.

Wu Duguan attached great importance to rules in his life and followed the laws of Qi. He once said this about Zhou Qing, but he had no ill intentions and did not deny Zhou Qing's contribution in destroying the Tianmu Sect's stronghold. He just reminded him.

At that time, Zhou Qing thought that this steward Wu was targeting him. Later, as time passed, he did not do anything targeting him. He was just a steward with a strong character and a cold face.

Now he is taking advantage of the fight with Master Yintian to deal with the Huang family, which is actually not very fair. According to Qi law, all members of the Huang family will be taken away by the government for interrogation and then executed one by one.

However, this kind of rule is not rigidly restrictive. It is actually reasonable for Zhou Qing to deal with the Huang family members based on his identity.

Now that Zhou Qing brought up the old matter at this time, he did not mean to find fault. Instead, it made people feel that the world is changing and unpredictable.

At first, Wu Duguan thought that he was a disobedient person, and Zhou Xunyou thought that he was targeting him, but now they are fighting side by side and working together to thwart the Tianmu Cult's conspiracy.

It did not leave any grudges, but instead became a funny thing, just a smile when we met.

"Wu Duguan, Zhou Qing."

At this time, someone else came to the two of them. It was the head of the Yuan family.

His condition was also very bad. To be precise, except Zhou Qing, none of the masters in Tianyue City were in good condition.

The surviving masters gathered around, looking miserable.

Zhou Qing looked around and found that many people were missing, including the master of Lingxuan Taoist Temple, the master of Yuanyue Martial Arts Hall, a deputy head of the Yuan family, and the elder of Fengming Taoist Temple...

They had all died at the hands of the devil just now, or had fallen directly under the mysterious light after the Three Spirits Formation was breached.

A ray of mysterious light is basically a life.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy. Although the masters of Tianyue City wiped out all the evil leaders of the Tianmu Sect this time, they also suffered heavy casualties.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work." Wu Duguan said:

"Thanks to you, we were able to crush the Tianmu Cult's conspiracy and save all the people of Tianyue City."

"You are the heroes of Tianyue City. I will ask the court for your credit."

The support from the head of the Yuan family and other masters is an important part of the victory of this battle, and their role is very important.

If they were not there, only Zhou Qing and Wu Duguan would have to face the many masters of the Tianmu Sect. Not to mention turning the tide, the demons each had a Taoist magic, and one martial arts move could drown the two of them.

The head of the Yuan family sighed and asked, "Manager Wu, what on earth is going on?"

Wu Duguan said with a heavy expression: "Ye Zhong, the former Duguan of the Ghost and God Department, colluded with the Tianmu Cult..."

Manager Wu gave a brief account of the incident, and only then did the head of the Yuan family and his men know the entire story.

The whole thing is frightening.

The final result is also fortunate.

Many eyes fell on Zhou Qing, with complex expressions of gratitude and awe.

Fortunately, you are here, Zhou Qing.
