The key to opening the land of the wicked was the three sharp bones of the fish!
Xu Qing recognized these three sharp spikes at a glance. They were the items that had been snatched away by the huge white jade hand in the Immortal Forbidden.
At this moment, he finally understood what the three sharp spikes were used for.
The sky rumbled. In the second sky formed by the three sharp spikes, black fog churned and waves of soul-stirring wild shrieks and howls spread in all directions.
In the pitch-black fog painting, countless evil souls lifted their heads. The moment they looked out one after another, the call from the Deputy Governor turned into countless karma threads.
One end connected to the Deputy Governor's fragmented-face and the other end surged into the land of the wicked, landing in the souls of the people who had once died in Purple Green Kingdom's Fenghai County, transforming into a guiding force.
Evil souls that were guided crawled out of the second sky along the threads of karma. They looked greedily at the ground and at every living person here.
This was the Deputy Governor's big move.
What he wanted to offer to his lord wasn't just a life fruit that gathered the lives and fortune of all living beings in Fenghai County, but also… the return of Fenghai County!
With this, he could atone for his crimes.
As for the living beings in Fenghai County, they were the vessels he had prepared for the people who had returned from the land of the wicked.
However, the time was not yet fully ripe, and the fruit was not completely matured. He had not yet deceived the people into becoming the county governor of Fenghai County and gained the fortune of the county.
Therefore, he couldn't fulfill the plan of smoothly guiding the return of the dead.
As a result, when those wandering souls forcibly descended, at the moment of being impacted by the aura of Wanggu, only one in ten could survive, and the rest perished miserably.
However, there were too many evil souls.
Countless evil souls still descended on Fenghai.
The Deputy Governor was a man of his word. He followed the agreement and the Seventh Prince's men weren't affected.
At that moment, the Seventh Prince's heart was also in turmoil. He didn't expect the Deputy Governor to have such a plan. He originally thought that it was just a sacrifice. He didn't even expect the three fish bones to be used here.
"Bai Xiaozhuo!" The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes. He was panting slightly and wanted to lift his feet.
This matter was too big, so big that it moved him.
The eyes of the surrounding generals and commanders gleamed as they looked at him.
In the sky, the four-clawed golden dragon let out a deep roar and looked over as well.
On the ground, Ning Yan was in the crowd. As he trembled, his eyes were a little red. He also looked at the Seventh Prince.
However, in the end, the Seventh Prince, who had been staring at the Deputy Governor, still… didn't move.
As a prince, he knew too many secrets. This understanding formed during his growth allowed him to clearly judge the situation in front of him.
He understood that the Deputy Governor's extraordinary strength at this moment required an extremely high level force to suppress.
For example, the arrival of the Soul Accumulation or if Zhang Siyun was still around.
This was because the Deputy Governor in this state was a delicacy to the Crimson Goddess.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Goddess was in a deep sleep.
As for the other gods, most of them hid after Crimson Goddess' previous actions.
As for the fragmented-face of the god in the sky, according to the secret scrolls in the Imperial City, he knew that there were various races that traded with the fragmented-face since ancient times.
However, it was only a transaction. The fragmented-face wouldn't open Its eyes for them.
In history, the only time the fragmented-face opened Its eyes for a human was because of Purple Green.
Therefore, if he forcefully attacked, although he could stop the tragedy from happening, the price would be too great. It would require him to risk his life and completely consume his greatest foundation.
He would be breaking the contract and exhausting his greatest foundation, risking his own death. The Seventh Prince felt that it was not worth sacrificing them for Fenghai County.
His foundation shouldn't be wasted here and at this moment.
Hence, he didn't move. He was waiting for the subsequent developments of this matter. His mind was rapidly judging how to deal with the aftermath in a way that would be most beneficial to him.
As for the calamity in Fenghai County… How could he make any contributions if there wasn't chaos?
Therefore, he directly ignored the people in the surroundings who were looking at him.
From the start to the end, Xu Qing didn't look at the Seventh Prince. This was because he knew that pinning his hopes on the Seventh Prince was a type of naivety.
The four-clawed golden dragon in the sky wailed again. Its dragon eyes instinctively landed on Xu Qing who was on the ground.
Xu Qing silently lifted his hand. The flames of the county's Taboo magic treasure left his body and transformed into a large golden net. Just like how it had protected Fenghai County previously, it spread in all directions, stopping the souls in the sky.
"It's useless. The Crimson Goddess devoured the god of the land of wicked, causing it to lose its suppression. That's why things went so smoothly for me. You cannot stop it either."
The Deputy Governor's fragmented-face spoke softly.
Xu Qing looked at the Deputy Governor and suddenly spoke.
"Then, now that you've returned to your true self, do you dare to get close to me?"
The Deputy Governor's fragmented-face fell silent and cast a deep glance at Xu Qing.
"At this moment, unless a god descends or the Human Emperor arrives, no one can suppress me."
"However, you've asked me this question many times, so I'll give you this chance. Let me see what trump card you have."
"You can come over by yourself."
The Deputy Governor calmly spoke.
Xu Qing walked toward him.
The ground was endlessly blurry.
The sky distorted.
The suppressive force made it incomparably difficult for all the Nihility cultivators. As for the two god specimen puppets, their divine might towered into the sky in the blood rain. They blocked everything.
The captain silently looked at Xu Qing's back view and laughed.
"Little Qing, if you and Master die, I'll accompany you."
"Alright!" Xu Qing spoke softly without turning his head.
