2860 The ghost king’s new mission (1)
Just as li zangfeng had worried, it did not take long for the nearby cities to become chaotic.
The cultivators of the evil path Alliance would appear from time to time. They would sneak into the gathering places of mortals and destroy them by any means necessary, creating one tragedy after another.
The local government and the discipline Commission were in a terrible fix. They went around to capture and kill the members of the evil path Alliance, but in the end, they suffered heavy casualties.
The tense and panicking atmosphere continued to spread to the surrounding areas.
The city that Tang Zhen was in had also increased its security. It had also recruited a large number of martial artists and mortal soldiers in order to deal with the increasingly complicated situation.
Everyone knew that mortal Warriors were no match for cultivators. If they really fought, they could only be regarded as cannon fodder.
As for the cultivators of the discipline Commission, they had already received other urgent missions and had all left the city.
The lives of ordinary people were even more difficult. They did not have the ability to influence the current situation and could only passively wait for the disaster to come.
Everything in the blacksmith shop was as usual. The only change was that Liu Qing’s dishes were getting better and better.
Tang Zhen wasn’t stingy with his praise. He said that if the blacksmith shop couldn’t continue, he could consider opening a restaurant.
Liu Qing could only smile helplessly at such praise, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
During this period of time, she was even more clear about how terrifying Tang Zhen was.
Although he was dressed like a mortal and occasionally revealed the profiteering look of a merchant, those were all illusions.
The true Tang Zhen was a terrifying monster that caused people to mistakenly think that there was no danger. In fact, he could even be bullied and kneaded as he pleased.
However, if he really did that, he would be an idiot and would definitely die a miserable death.
“You big liar!”
Liu Qing pondered to himself and turned to look at the blacksmith.
When they first met, Liu Qing could blow him to death with a single breath. He was not worth mentioning at all.
Who would have expected that not long after, the blacksmith’s strength would undergo a huge change, which made Liu Qing feel a faint sense of fear.
The blacksmith’s appearance had changed greatly. It was as if he had condensed flames, and his entire body had an oppressive aura.
It was like a terrifying lava beast that could incinerate everything in the world.
Spirit bodies were afraid of fire and avoided it like the plague, but it wasn’t the case for blacksmiths.
He was deliberately using a method similar to suicide to absorb and refine the flames, so that he could become one with the flames.
This method could be called a miracle. At least, in the eyes of ghost king Liu Qing, there was no possibility of success.
The blacksmith’s strength was still inferior to his, but it was only temporary.
At this rate, he might have to be prepared to be crushed by the blacksmith before long.
Fortunately, the silly blacksmith only liked to strike iron, and he would knock non-stop from morning to night every day. Other than that, he didn’t care about anything else.
Just as Liu Qing was secretly pondering what kind of food to prepare for the night, he heard Tang Zhen’s voice.
“Recently, the nearby cities have not been peaceful. I’m afraid that we won’t be spared either.
The rise and fall of the country was everyone’s responsibility.
As a resident of this city, he had the responsibility to protect the safety of the city, regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost.
From now on, you can go on the streets at any time and actively participate in the operation to protect the city.”
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of surprise, as if he had been freed from the sea of suffering.
“Does that mean I don’t need to cook anymore?”
Tang Zhen smiled and used a kind tone to say, you still have to cook. After all, that’s your main job. Protecting the city’s safety is only secondary.
“I knew it would be like this, Yingluo.”
Liu Qing mumbled, but he did not dare to have any complaints in case he incurred Tang Zhen’s punishment.
The feeling of being burned was enough to kill a ghost.
He subconsciously looked at the blacksmith, only to see that he was still Guiding The Blue Flame in the furnace to rotate one round in his body, and then hit the iron ingot with the hammer.
The fuel in the furnace was called green steel carbon. It burned at an extremely high temperature and was extremely valuable.
At the same time, it also had a special effect of clearing the blood vessels and getting rid of the evil cold and moisture in the body.
Those high-ranking officials and nobles loved to light the green steel charcoal when the weather was cold. It could keep them warm and at the same time, it could also prolong their lives.
However, in the blacksmith shop, using such expensive fuel to burn the furnace was really extravagant to the extreme.
Calculating the income and expenditure of the blacksmith shop, it was already in a state of serious loss. Under normal circumstances, it might not take long for it to close down.
“It’s better to close the door, Yingying.”
Liu Qing cursed in his heart, but he knew that it was just an extravagant hope. Even if the entire city was razed to the ground, the blacksmith shop would not delay its business.
As soon as he walked out of the blacksmith shop, he saw three people walking down the street. It was the captain of the martial artists who were patrolling the street.
Seeing Liu Qing at the door, the captain of the patrol was stunned at first, then he quickly bowed and saluted.
“Greetings, great aunt!”
After knowing Liu Qing’s identity, li cangfeng investigated her past and found out that she was a courtesan in a brothel hundreds of years ago.
Because he had encountered a heartless man, Liu Qing had been poisoned to death and had become a ghost king.
Knowing that Liu Qing was an old ghost who was hundreds of years old, the captain of the patrol team actually became very natural when he called her “great aunt.”
“You three, what do you want?”
During his time in the blacksmith shop, Liu Qing’s hostility had almost been polished clean. In addition, he was in a good mood today, so he only responded to the patrol Captain with one sentence.
“Great aunt, we’re here to pick up our customized weapons. It’s already the stipulated time.”
Hearing Liu Qing’s question, the captain of the patrol team quickly replied without any hesitation.
“Yes.”
Liu Qing nodded but did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked about the news of other cities.
Because of the recent chaos, news spread very quickly, and the patrol Captain naturally heard about it.
He quickly told them the news, saying whatever he thought of without missing a single detail.
Liu Qing pondered for a while, then waved to the patrol Captain.
“I know, you guys can go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, the patrol Captain and the others showed an envious expression and looked forward to the cultivation world.
He sighed that the path of cultivation was as difficult as reaching the heavens. Ordinary people were not qualified to come into contact with it at all. Many times, it depended on luck.
In fact, even if he became a cultivator, he was born at the wrong time, because the current cultivation world was a meat grinder.
Who knew when he would lose his life.
Liu Qing was wandering around the city at the moment, looking for hidden evil cultivators, and then eliminating them.
Not only did she complete Tang Zhen’s order, but she also obtained benefits, allowing her strength to rise even faster.
Liu Qing felt the pressure from the increasingly powerful blacksmiths. He could not wait to increase his cultivation level.
Her thoughts were very dark. She was afraid that if she performed too badly, she would become a supplement for the blacksmith to devour and level up.
Continuously raising his strength and winning Tang Zhen’s favor was the true way to protect himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a cold aura spread out from the house in front of him.
“Sure enough, he sneaked in and couldn’t wait to start causing trouble. He really didn’t put me in his eyes!”
Liu Qing snorted coldly, like a lion whose territory had been violated, and the fire in his heart was ignited.
In a flash, he had already entered the courtyard. Then, he saw that the ground was covered with corpses.
An evil cultivator was killing people and sucking their blood. His face was ferocious, but when he saw Liu Qing, his expression turned dull.
First of all, they were shocked by Liu Qing’s appearance. Then, they were shocked by Liu Qing’s strength and did not understand the purpose of her sudden appearance.
Liu Qing sneered. He waved an iron hammer and smashed the evil cultivator’s head!
