Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 372 - 264: Borrowing the Qi Fortune of One County to Suppress and Kill the Evil Spirit!

At the same time,

information collected by the Heavenly Patrol Guard also found its way into Nanyue Mountain’s hands.

“The drought in Wuzhou began from Shenhe County and has since spread across the entire Wuzhou. Thus, the problem must lie within Shenhe County!”

“Someone, head to Shenhe County!”

Nanyue Mountain decided immediately after one glance.

The four commanderies of Wuzhou.

Shenhe County was one among them.

Three days later,

Nanyue Mountain stepped into the commandery and met with Shenhe County’s Governor, Tao Heng.

“Hearing that Commander Nan has graced us with his presence, it’s a pity I failed to welcome you from afar!”

The speaker was a refined middle-aged man, none other than Shenhe County’s Governor, Tao Heng.

Though he appeared gentle and refined, he was also a powerful figure who had entered the Grandmaster Realm.

Regarding this,

Nanyue Mountain also respectfully bowed: “I’ve seen Mr. Tao!”

He was indeed the commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, but the identity of Tao Heng, the Governor of one of Wuzhou’s four commanderies, was not insignificant either.

In terms of position,

strictly speaking, Nanyue Mountain’s rank was actually slightly lower than Tao Heng’s.

After all—

In Wuzhou, a commandery governor was akin to the heavens, directly answering to Gu Yang.

However,

due to the special nature of the Heavenly Patrol Guard’s position, Tao Heng couldn’t look down on Nanyue Mountain.

After briefly exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the Governor Mansion’s Inner Hall to sit.

Once seated,

Nanyue Mountain forthrightly said, “Mr. Tao, the drought in Wuzhou is severe, and His Majesty has commanded me to thoroughly investigate this matter.”

“From my understanding, the drought in Wuzhou originated in Shenhe County. How much does Mr. Tao know about this?”

Hearing this,

the smile on Tao Heng’s face faded, and his expression turned serious.

“Does Lord Nan mean to suggest that this natural disaster is man-made?”

“Whether it’s man-made remains to be seen, but this disaster is unlike any before. To say there aren’t other factors influencing it would be impossible!”

Nanyue Mountain shook his head slightly, looking at Tao Heng as he spoke seriously.

“After all, Mr. Tao, don’t forget that before His Majesty had stabilized the Nine States, during the chaotic end of the previous dynasty, there were numerous evil spirits and strange occurrences, not to mention various natural disasters and calamities.

Although later His Majesty secured the Nine States, using the national divine artifact to suppress evil spirits and reestablish order across the realm, some evil spirits might still be lurking, secretly wanting to cause trouble.”

At these words,

Tao Heng fell silent.

He understood,

Nanyue Mountain’s words were not false.

It hadn’t been more than ten years since the evil spirits and oddities in the Nine States had disappeared.

The chaos of the previous dynasty’s final years was still fresh in people’s hearts.

“If what Lord Nan says is true, then the evil spirit behind this disaster must be formidable!”

Tao Heng’s expression was somber, his brows tightly furrowed.

The State Divine Artifact suppressed the Nine States, under the Nine Tripods, evil spirits were easily cast out, and ordinary evil spirits naturally could not survive, but correspondingly, if any evil spirits managed to survive, their strength had to be extraordinary.

Only Nanyue Mountain appeared composed: “However formidable, Mr. Tao, you don’t think that the world today is still the same as the previous dynasty, do you?”

“Let alone His Majesty stabilizing the Nine States, a single decree can change the climate of a state, his imperial power vast, and in the capital, there is that existence who alone wiped out an Ancient Sacred Land.

Even if there are lurking evil spirits, they are doomed to stir up minimal trouble!”

With this statement,

Tao Heng’s demeanor also relaxed.

“So it seems, perhaps I was overly concerned!”

He had almost forgotten.

The current Divine Martial Dynasty was not comparable to the previous Taixuan Dynasty.

Now, the cultivation in the Nine States thrived, teeming with powerful individuals, many of whom were in the Grandmaster Realm, like Nanyue Mountain, who stood at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Such beings,

if it had been durantehe previous dynasty, would be equivalent to a Divinity Realm’s powerhouse, truly the foremost under the heavens.

Moreover,

as mighty as Nanyue Mountain was, he was not even the pinnacle of the Nine States.

At the summit of Nine States’ cultivators stood an unsurpassable figure, the Gu Family Master, known as Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng.

This individual,

was recognized as the first powerhouse in the Nine States.

With such a powerhouse present, even if real evil spirits caused trouble, it was believed that they couldn’t stir up much disturbance.

Considering this,

Tao Heng was not particularly worried.

Then,

he looked at Nanyue Mountain and seriously asked, “What does Lord Nan plan to do next?”

“First, find the source of the drought. If it truly is the work of an evil spirit, then we’ll exterminate it!”

Nanyue Mountain’s expression was resolute, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

For such evil spirits that caused chaos, he naturally wouldn’t be merciful or lenient.

After all, he had experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty and witnessed the horrors of evil spirits devouring humans, his hatred for such spirits etched deep into his bones.

“Lord Nan having such thoughts, I naturally support them!” Tao Heng nodded.

If Shenhe County truly was the hiding place of an evil spirit, he naturally hoped to identify it as soon as possible.

Otherwise,

should any evil spirit make a move, it would undoubtedly have a widespread impact.

If due to this matter, Shenhe County faced turmoil or civilians suffered injuries and deaths, once the court held him accountable, even as the Governor of Shenhe County, his days wouldn’t be easy.
