Chapter 489: New Atmosphere in Nanxiang County

~6 min read 1,040 words

Hua Changxi, who had patrolled every part of Nanxiang County and found no anomaly, came to the county seat of Nanxiang County.

Since the Zhu Que Army took over the county seat, the mixed bag of cultivators in the city had calmed down instantly. Those cultivators who wanted to "profit from the chaos" either fled to other places or tucked their tails and behaved themselves.

The number of cultivators in the city had decreased, but the chaos was gone.

Song Weimin really had real talent and learning in governing people's livelihood. After only a year or so of managing the county government, the style of the county seat had taken on a new look.

The past atmosphere of "cultivators riding above all living beings, treating ordinary people like grass" had quietly changed. Now, cultivators and mortals in the county seat could live in peace.

Cultivators were no longer high above, and mortals were no longer walking on thin ice, living a precarious life. Looking at such an atmosphere, Hua Changxi couldn't help but feel a bit proud, feeling that she had a discerning eye and reused Song Weimin.

After wandering around the city, Hua Changxi left.

Out of the city, she could still see many cultivators venturing deep into the wilderness and mountains. Most of these cultivators were in groups, and behind them were the shadows of aristocratic families.

Hua Changxi knew that these forces had not yet given up the idea of exploring the "Nanxiang City Cave Heaven and Blessed Land."

However, under the iron-fisted deterrence of the Zhu Que Army, these people now only dared to look for opportunities carefully, and no longer dared to kill people to seize treasures and disrupt order as recklessly as before.

After a circle, Hua Changxi felt that the current Nanxiang County could not be called a peaceful and prosperous age, but it could be considered a scene of prosperity with stable people's livelihood.

She couldn't figure it out. Since everything was moving in a good direction, where did the uneasiness in her heart come from?

Unable to find the source of the uneasiness, Hua Changxi had to suppress the irritability in her heart and turned into a red shadow, heading straight for the Zhurong Tomb.

Jing Sheng had settled in the Zhurong Tomb for a year and should have completely absorbed and refined the medicinal power of the Profound Yellow Fruit.

She was ready to pick up Jing Sheng and go to the Ghost Fire Well. Then, through the Ghost Fire Well, enter the Ghost Domain forbidden area again.

Entering the nine underworlds like this, one is to explore the reason for the vibration of the black broken knife.

Since Tong Yao said that this broken knife has no grade and the power it erupts depends on the strength of the user, she felt that this broken knife needed to be repaired.

Secondly, it was the Nine Pass auction. Since this auction is held every fifty years and has been held many times, it shows that there must be many "old monsters" among the participating cultivators, and she needs to gain some knowledge.

The third reason is that the Ghost Domain forbidden area is located in the hinterland of the nine underworlds. On the way from the Ghost Clan's territory to the Jiuguan of the Demon Prison, she can take the opportunity to explore the territory of the nine underworlds.

Hua Changxi soon arrived at the Zhurong Tomb, her divine sense moved, and she found Jing Sheng.

"Not bad, the physical body is stronger."

Jing Sheng saw Hua Changxi, his face happy: "Big Sister."

Hua Changxi nodded and continued: "In the future, if there is nothing to do at the Ghost Fire Well, you can come to the Zhurong Tomb to cultivate. You have broken five shackles of the physical body, which is very suitable for walking the path of the physical body."

"The nine-story prison tower is a Dao soldier. If you can penetrate and realize the Dao rhyme in it, it will definitely help you walk your own Dao."

Jing Sheng listened to Hua Changxi's advice, his face full of gratitude: "I have today all thanks to Big Sister, I will cultivate well..."

Hua Changxi saw him showing a look of gratitude again, and hurriedly interrupted him: "I want to enter the Ghost Domain forbidden area and need your help."

Jing Sheng responded solemnly. Afterwards, the two didn't continue to exchange pleasantries, soared side by side, and sped toward the Ghost Fire Well.

Soon, the two arrived at the Ghost Fire Well.

Entering the nine-story prison tower, Hua Changxi first met Fang Zuyue, chatted with him for a while, and then checked the situation of the Zhu Que Army. Seeing that they were all adapting well, she followed Jing Sheng down to the bottom of the prison tower.

"Big Sister, I'll go first."

At the wellhead of the Ghost Fire Well, Jing Sheng jumped into the well first, and Hua Changxi followed closely behind.

After the Zhu Que Suppressing Prison Array resumed operation, the ghost energy and ghost fire seeping into the well through the cracks were greatly reduced. Now in the well, there was only ghost energy lingering at the bottom, and a small amount of ghost fire burning.

Hua Changxi didn't need to make a move, Jing Sheng could clear it.

But neither of them did so. The nine-story prison tower uses ghost energy and ghost fire to punish cultivators who made mistakes. Keeping a small amount of ghost energy and ghost fire helps the operation of the nine-story prison tower.

"Big Sister, be careful when entering the nine underworlds."

Jing Sheng urged with worry, and then manipulated the Ghost Fire Token to open the restriction of the Zhu Que Suppressing Prison Array.

In an instant, a circular opening appeared in the center of the array stone platform.

Hua Changxi nodded to Jing Sheng, then jumped down without any hesitation, and quickly disappeared into the deep and pitch-black crack.

Jing Sheng also closed the restriction the moment Hua Changxi jumped down.

The whole process lasted only a few breaths, and the ghost energy that seeped in was scattered by Jing Sheng with a wave of his hand.
