Chapter 359: Chapter 9 The Divine Weapon Leaves the City, Disturbance at the Northern Border (3/3)

"Would you do anything?"

This was a bit delicate, and An Jing couldn’t figure out Linlang Commerce Chamber’s real purpose and needs.

To really understand, it seemed he could only go into the city to have a look.

"Prepare to set off."

Shaking his head, An Jing ordered, "Everyone has rested enough, those who want to return should go back."

"Take this old man to the authorities in the rear, let Da Chen there know the situation in Linjiang City now, and also let the villagers know that there is True Demon Sect causing trouble here, it’s not that you failed to complete the mission."

"You guide me, and I’ll look around the city."

"I will have the brothers take this old bastard away, but I’ll go to Linjiang City with you."

Xu Tai had already long decided what he wanted to do, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Hero Jing, your strength is astonishing, it’s probably true that you can slay Martial Meridians with formations, but even so, with Linlang Commerce Chamber inside the city, and possibly the True Demon Sect, if someone with ulterior motives plans against us, there might be danger."

"I think I can show myself to attract attention from the Linlang Commerce Chamber’s side, while you, Young Hero, observe the situation from the shadows."

"It seems you’re quite fond of your hometown."

Turning his head, An Jing looked at Xu Tai, somewhat surprised.

While resting in Shimen Town earlier, he had heard the legend of their Escort Leader from other Escort Masters, and he knew the story behind ’A Promise Worth Thousand Gold’: "How much reward do you want? Don’t worry, as long as you don’t ask for an exorbitant amount, I won’t shortchange you even a penny."

When he said this, An Jing felt a certain relief that came from being financially powerful, which was the confidence gained from interstate trade!

"I don’t love my hometown, it’s just that my parents rest in the graveyard beside the city... Facing such a drastic change, I am also worried whether the elders can rest in peace underground."

Xu Tai spoke candidly, patting his belly and starting to laugh, "And besides, there are still some acquaintances in the city, those who fed me when I was hungry back in the day, now it’s time to repay them."

"As for the reward, you could say you saved my life and the lives of many brothers. Although I love money, I don’t need to make it off you."

"You still need to be paid, one thing at a time," An Jing shook his head, "But it seems like you can’t put it away right now, so let’s settle it after this matter is over."

Xu Tai did not refuse a second time.

The two led the trembling hunter out of the house, but he also knew he had temporarily escaped death, and announced this decision to the Escort Masters of the Canglang Escort Bureau.

Some of them sighed with relief, while some, presumably the younger Martial Artists, clamored to go with the Escort Leader and Young Hero Jing to Linjiang City, getting a scolding from Xu Tai.

"Old Shi, you take the lead."

After An Jing announced the strategic decision, Xu Tai stepped forward to assign tasks: "Huang, you keep an eye on this old man, don’t let him escape, if anything happens, dismember his limbs, cut him into a human stick and send him back!"

"Yes!" Old Shi was a steady, bearded Martial Artist, and Huang was a vigorous young man with scales on his face, probably having bloodlines from the Dragon Court in the east.

After giving out the tasks, An Jing was ready to set off with Xu Tai towards Linjiang City.

But it was at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble...

A vibration that was initially very slight, but later grew increasingly tremendous and sweeping, resounded from the depths of the earth.

"Hmm?"

Sensing something amiss, An Jing flashed in an instant and appeared on the city wall of Shimen Town, his expression grave as he looked towards Broken Blade Mountain, also the direction of Linjiang City.

"Earth Pulse stirring?"

In the Divine Sea, the once dormant Emperor’s Blood now awakened, giving An Jing a peculiar sensation. He felt as if he could perceive that in the deep earth around Broken Blade Mountain where the Earth Pulse Qi was concentrated, something immensely vast was gradually rising from the ground, breaking free.

This was no illusion.

Because around the distant mountains, approximately at the locations of ’Linjiang,’ ’Yujiang,’ and ’Yinbi’ cities, suddenly tumultuous dark-golden dust rose from the depths of the earth, like a cluster of clouds being pulled from the ground and pouring into the sky.

The heavens and earth roared, and An Jing felt a mighty tidal surge as if from the Earth’s depths, the surging high-temperature magma churned, raising a wave that burst forth—not dust, but the purest Earth Pulse Qi.

The Earth Pulse Qi, like a tide of dark gold, spewed from the depths of the earth, shrouding a part of the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, three uniquely shaped Divine Weapons were enveloped by the colossal wave of Earth Pulse Qi, which propelled them out of the Earth Pulse’s depth.

They seemed extremely reluctant to leave the land they had guarded for hundreds, nearly a thousand years, but under the command from afar, they left the Earth Pulse Hub. Like meteors reversing from the depths of the earth into the sky, they sped towards the distant firmament, leaving behind three long trails.

"What, what is happening?!"

Witnessing this scene, An Jing was merely solemn, while Xu Tai and others were utterly shocked, showing an expression of disbelief: "The Divine Weapons, they left?!"

"The Guardian Divine Weapons have left the three cities? But how could this be possible, why would the official Guardian Divine Weapons suddenly depart?! Even if the guardian officials are not there, isn’t there still the Linlang Commerce Chamber holding the Great Seal in their stead?"

For the people of Da Chen, especially those in the cities, the presence of the Guardian Divine Weapons is taken for granted; they are the umbrellas against all sorts of dangers, the attacks of ferocious beasts and demons, and the protective deities of the people—the officials holding the Divine Weapons are the embodiment of Da Chen’s majesty and authority!

But now, the Divine Weapons, one of the cores of Da Chen’s order, have all left the vicinity of Broken Blade Mountain? Why? But the Northern Barbarians camp is right ahead, so who would remove the Divine Weapons?

"Calm down."

However, An Jing slightly shook his head, causing the people already shocked beyond self-control to look up and look towards the distant lands: "It’s not just around Broken Blade Mountain... Look, all the Divine Weapons in this region have been taken away."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tai was even more startled, as he rapidly came to the top of the city wall and gazed into the distance. He immediately saw that in all directions, where every Da Chen city lay, streams of dark-golden dust were rising, with the trajectories of the Divine Weapons drawing regular arcs in the sky, eventually converging at one point and speeding away towards an unknown place far away.

At this point, Xu Tai and others were more than just shocked; they were rendered speechless, even their ability to think seemed to be stripped away.

"Interesting."

Only An Jing, narrowing his eyes, suddenly broke into a smile: "No matter what big event has occurred... at least the Divine Weapons have indeed departed."

"With this, unless a real Divine Repository True Person comes to capture me, no one else in this Northern Border without Divine Weapons is to be feared."

"Let’s go."

He spoke, calling to Xu Tai who was so shocked he could hardly move: "Regardless of whether the Linlang Commerce Chamber could have known about this in advance, Linjiang City will definitely be extremely turbulent during this time."

"This is our perfect opportunity."
