“Two years ago, a hundred thousand demon-slaying army was wiped out in the Congyun demon lair, with only a few thousand people escaping back.
This matter is very strange, or there may be a conspiracy involving the Demon Suppression Division and certain forces.
I hope Master Ning will investigate this matter clearly after he takes office.
When necessary, Master Ning can kill first and then report later, doing things expediently. "
Governor Qian said sternly.
"Behead first and tell later, do you think it's easy?"
Ning Yue's eyes narrowed, this was equivalent to the privilege of an imperial envoy. This authority was not low.
"Captain Qian, what exactly is going on?"
Ning Yue asked again.
Governor Qian sighed: "After this incident, it has been kept secret. Although the Demon-Slaying Army has suffered many heavy losses, it has rarely been so serious.
Originally, the court had no doubts, but a year ago, our inspection department received an anonymous report saying that someone might have done it deliberately.
Think about it, this is an army of 100,000 people, and the entire army was wiped out.
If someone did it deliberately, what a terrifying force behind it would be, it makes people feel frightened just thinking about it.
Originally, Lord Yan asked Shen Yilong to investigate this matter, but after Shen Yilong's incident happened, Lord Yan only had to find other people to investigate the matter.
But the water here is very deep, and the major forces in Jingzhou are intertwined, so I couldn't find a suitable candidate, so I thought of Master Ning.
He was in Cangnan City at the time and discussed the matter with Prince Gu.
Lord Yan originally thought that Prince Gu would disagree, but who knew that Prince Gu would readily agree to the matter.
Therefore, he and Prince Gu jointly recommend you to become the co-commander of the Southern Region.
It's just that your qualifications and level are not enough, and you are stuck in the Cabinet and the Sixth Department.
The court initially disagreed until Lord Yan came forward and took out the anonymous report letter, so the superiors quickly agreed.
Now, you can take office and investigate this matter. "
After hearing what Governor Qian had said, Ning Yue suddenly realized that his appointment was indeed related to the Demon-Slaying Army.
"Captain Qian, I wonder what's in this anonymous letter?"
Ning Yue asked again.
"In this anonymous letter, it is said that there is a mole in the Demon Suppression Department who is colluding with the demon and intends to help the demon resurrect an ancient demon god.
However, no specific names were listed, and the origin of the whistleblower was unknown.
However, shortly after receiving the report, our picket department sent people to secretly investigate the matter. As a result, none of these people came back.
It shows that there is a big problem here. So this matter is very difficult. "
Governor Qian replied.
Ning Yue nodded, and there seemed to be some mystery behind it.
"Captain Qian, there is something I still don't know about. How did those pagoda monks deal with them?"
Ning Yue asked.
At first, Master Yan didn't say anything about this.
The ancient site of Huangji Shendao Sect became a forbidden area.
"Haha, the purpose of those pagoda monks is not that simple.
It is said that they have another purpose, which is to find a lost ancient talisman.
However, after all, this is our world in Jingzhou, how can we let them run wild?
Prince Gu and Master Yan joined forces to negotiate with them, so after they compensated for their losses, they closed the formation and left on their own.
However, we also allow them to leave some people to continue looking for their princess. "
Governor Qian explained.
"Ancient Immortal Talisman? Could it be that what they are looking for is the True Narcissus Talisman?"
Ning Yue was shocked.
"Master Ning, it's time for me to go back and resume my duties. Please finish your duties and go to Zhenna City to take up your post this morning."
Governor Qian smiled.
Ning Yue took out some top-quality spiritual stones to thank Governor Qian. Governor Qian repeatedly postponed the offer, but finally accepted it and left.
Ning Yue looked at the gold paper official certificate, with the jade seal of the Immortal Emperor of Creation on it, and couldn't help but sigh: He had become a third-grade official inexplicably.
In the Fairyland of Creation, there are few people who are promoted as quickly as him.
However, when he thought of investigating the annihilation of one hundred thousand demon-slaying troops, Ning Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It's not that easy to be an official."
The entire army of 100,000 people was annihilated. This was definitely not something that one or two insiders could do.
This is only possible with an extremely powerful force.
Even Gu Xinghe recommended him to investigate this matter, but he might find it difficult.
Otherwise, he would have investigated this matter long ago.
After receiving the official certificate and seal, Ning Yue went to the picket department to complete his errand.
From this moment on, he is the co-commander of the Southern Territory and Fang Hao's immediate boss.
From now on, Fang Hao will have to report to him on all matters of the Cangnan County Inspectorate.
Knowing that Ning Yue had officially taken over as the commander-in-chief, everyone in the picket department's general office was overjoyed.
That night, Ning Yue entertained everyone at the most expensive restaurant in Cangnan City.
Fang Hao, Xu Zhen, Xu Beihai, Lu Yongan and others came one after another.
Everyone celebrated Ning Yue and got drunk.
The next day, Ning Yue and Xiao Ruobing hit the road and headed to Zhenna City.
Xu Zhen and others are not strong enough and have not entered the Nascent Soul Realm, so they cannot help much.
Ning Yue planned to go to Zhenna City and then look for some experts.
If that doesn't work, call them again.
People like Gan Song, Zuo Biao, Zhao Feihu and others are Nascent Soul monks and can also be called upon.
This matter is not urgent at the moment, it is better to wait until we get to Zhenna City.
"Brother Yue, why don't we take the teleportation array to Zhenna City?"
Xiao Ruobing asked curiously.
They fly there, which takes four months.
If you take the teleportation array, it will only take ten days.
"I want to go to Cangwu Mountain. Xia Lengyan gave me the location of an ancient sword tomb before. It happens to be in Cangwu Mountain. It is the only way for us to pass. Let's go and see what is in this sword tomb?"
Ning Yue smiled.
"So that's it, Brother Yue, that woman is really kind to you."
Xiao Ruobing said angrily.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Ning Yue asked with a smile.
"I don't have one. How could I be jealous of that woman!"
Xiao Ruobing stuck out her tongue and hummed.
Two months later, the two of them landed among the mountains shone in the rays of the sun and shrouded in clouds and fog.
This is Cangwu Mountain. The surrounding hundreds of thousands of mountains are within the scope of Cangwu Mountain. There are more than a dozen sects here, large and small.
There is also the Xiaguang Holy Sect, which is more powerful than the four major sects.
After two days of searching, the two finally found the entrance to the Sword Tomb under a big mountain.
Sword tombs are generally the place where swords and bones are buried by kendo sects.
Monks who practice swordsmanship like to hide swords in mountains.
If he dies, he will bury the sword he used during his lifetime around his grave.
Therefore, most of the things in the Sword Tomb are related to swords.
In fact, Ning Yue is not very interested in sword cultivation.
But now that we know about this sword tomb, it would be a shame not to discover it.
The two of them were standing under a cliff. There was a crack left by a sword energy on the cliff. I don't know when it was left, but the sword energy still remained. The surrounding weeds were affected, and the leaves were like swords. Shape, extremely sharp.
The two of them were amazed that this sword energy was so terrifying! There are still remnants.
