Chapter 243 1 Golden Token
There is nothing wrong with the term "corpses everywhere", but "just like the Battle of Shanhaiguan more than 6,000 years ago", Ning Changge felt that his description was too exaggerated.
After all, the death tolls of the two pale in comparison.
After just a cursory glance, Ning Changge discovered that there were only about two hundred men and women lying on the ground, which was totally not the number of people that a first-rate sect should have.
Moreover, there was another point that made Ning Changge very confused, that is:
There were about twenty male monks who died tragically with blood flowing out.
The rest all died with their bodies intact, with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they felt no pain at the moment of death, but rather enjoyed it.
At this time, Han Feiyu came to Ning Changge's side. He saw Ning Changge staring at the group of male cultivators who died miserably, and then said:
"Brother Ning, they are not from Yaowang Valley, they are from the Nanming Territory across the river."
Ning Changge became interested: "Oh?"
Han Feiyu explained: "I have talked to you before. There are two forces in the Nanming Territory. One is the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and the other is the Nanjiang Gu Clan. I don't know how the Nanjiang Gu Clan practices, but I do know a thing or two about the cultivation system of the people in the Xuanyuan Dynasty."
"Because it is a human dynasty structure, the Xuanyuan Dynasty basically has two types of cultivation methods - warriors and Confucian Qigong practitioners. The former join the army to defend the country, and the latter serve as officials to assist the emperor."
"Of course, there are other ways of cultivation, but compared to these two, their number is pitifully small."
"Brother Ning, look." After saying that, Han Feiyu squatted down, opened the palm of a male corpse whose body was still intact, pointed at his palm, and continued:
"This person has broad palms, thick knuckles, deep palm lines, and extremely rough skin with a thick layer of calluses. It's obvious that he has practiced martial arts for many years."
“Although there are some martial arts sects in the East Wilderness, they are all very far away from Medicine King Valley. Moreover, they cannot be unaware of the relationship between Medicine King Valley and Qingyun Immortal Sect, so they would never dare to make trouble.”
"So, there is only one possibility. This group of people are cultivators from the Southern Underworld Region across the river."
Joining the army or being an official, aren't these the top military and top literary scholars in ancient times? How did the Xuanyuan Dynasty retain these ancient dynasty systems in the world of immortal cultivation?
Feeling a little curious, Ning Changge looked in the direction of Han Feiyu's finger, and just as he said, the calluses on his hands were so thick that it looked like he had practiced martial arts for many years.
Ning Changge nodded slightly, "Junior Brother Han, your analysis makes sense, but..."
Han Feiyu gave Ning Changge a puzzled and curious look: "But what's the matter, Senior Brother Ning?"
"Wait a mininute."
As he spoke, Ning Changge also squatted down, wrapped his palm with spiritual energy, and gently pulled the waist of the male corpse. A square golden token stained with blood suddenly appeared in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Changge's mind moved, and he saw the spiritual energy turned into a small pool of clear water that instantly washed away the blood on the golden token.
The next moment, the true appearance of the square golden token appeared before the two of them.
There were no complicated patterns on it, only a white cloud printed on it, and four common fonts in the Nine Realms, engraved on the front and back of the golden token respectively.
Obverse: Xuanyuan.
Reverse: Cloud Rider.
Ning Changge threw the cleaned square golden token to Han Feiyu and chuckled, "I just want to say that there is no need for such a complicated analysis. Here is a ready-made identity certificate."
However, Han Feiyu, who took the token, had an extremely solemn expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the word "Yunqi".
Seeing this, Ning Changge couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, Junior Brother Han? Do you know the owner of your token?"
During the previous conversation, Han Feiyu mentioned that he had just returned from the Nanming Territory, and the male corpse on the ground was from the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Now seeing his expression, Ning Changge naturally thought that Han Feiyu knew the owner of the token.
Han Feiyu shook his head, but his eyes were still fixed on the word "Yunqi": "I don't know this brother who died tragically on the ground, but I know the real owner behind this token!"
Ning Changge asked casually: "Who is it?"
Han Feiyu did not answer, but returned the golden token to Ning Changge, with a pleading look in his eyes, and said:
"Brother Ning, why don't we go back to the sect now and let the headmaster do the blood sacrifice himself?"
"?"
A big question mark appeared on Ning Changge’s forehead.
"Junior Brother Han, didn't you tell me that the teleportation array would not be opened until a month later? I can't go back now."
"Besides, the blood sacrifice was the mission that the Sect Leader personally assigned to us. If we return without finding any clues, I won't be punished, but you can't be sure."
There was another reason that Ning Changge didn't tell him. The task assigned to him by Dabaoshu was to participate in this trial, serve as team leader, and protect this group of rookie disciples to safely get through this month.
Just based on this point, Ning Changge couldn't go back.
After all, although the heroine script rewards given by Dabaoshu are not very reliable, some of the rewards are very attractive!
For example: invincible in the same realm, cultivation level increased by one small realm (without any side effects)...
Han Feiyu trembled and said, "I, we can walk and fly back at the same time. It will take two and a half months to get there."
"As for the headmaster's anger, it's better than losing your life."
"Senior Brother Ning, let's go back quickly!" Han Feiyu held Ning Changge's wrist tightly, his face full of anxiety and fear.
Ning Changge shook his head, "Sorry, the trial time has not yet arrived, and I can't go back."
Han Feiyu shouted loudly when he heard it: "People will die, people will die, but..."
As he shouted, Han Feiyu weakly let go of Ning Changge's wrist, collapsed to the ground, and cried, "But it's true, it can really kill people!"
"This enemy is too powerful. Even if you, Senior Brother Ning, are the reincarnation of an immortal, a man who has reached the state of godhood in three years may not be able to defeat him."
Han Feiyu's crying immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples who were undergoing trial. Although more than 200 people had died here, they were all cultivators after all. Even if their cultivation was still very low, they had all seen dead bodies before.
They were not frightened or nauseated by the sight of blood.
On the contrary, they were all eager to take a closer look, but Ning Changge had just ordered them to stay outside and not to go forward.
Seeing that everyone was looking over here with curiosity, especially the one called Bai Xian'er, whose neck was stretched longer than a swan, Ning Changge immediately shouted and scolded:
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a dead person? If you don't practice diligently in the future, you will be like them, lying on the ground coldly, motionless."
Seeing Ning Changge getting angry, everyone immediately shrank their necks and dared not breathe.
"Go check nearby to see if there are any other bodies. Remember, you can only move within a ten-kilometer radius!"
Ning Changge paid special attention to Bai Xian'er, "Especially you, Bai Xian'er, if you dare to disobey orders again this time, you will be punished according to the sect rules!"
Hearing this, Bai Xian'er immediately covered her buttocks and ran away with a red face: "No, Senior Brother Ning, I'm just a child."
Ning Changge: “…”
Everyone dispersed according to Ning Changge's order and searched around. Only Ning Changge and Han Feiyu were left here.
Looking at Han Feiyu who was still kneeling on the ground and crying, Ning Changge raised the golden token in his hand and asked:
"Junior Brother Han, what exactly is this token, and why has it changed your attitude so much?"
As we chatted along the way, we could feel that Han Feiyu was very excited about this trial, but now he was like a frightened dog, and he broke down and cried.
Ning Changge knew the culprit at a glance from the golden token in his hand.
Han Feiyu had such a big reaction after seeing it.
At this moment, Ning Changge became a little curious about this golden token from the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
After all, Han Feiyu is the disciple of the chief master of Qingyun Immortal Sect.
Something or someone that could scare him to the point of crying must not be an ordinary thing or person.
