Imperial Palace
On this side, Xia Xuan had just inford the authorities in Heilin Province to fully cooperate with Su Yang’s actions.
It didn’t take long before the administrator of Heilin Province sent him a token ssage.
The Heavenly Seal token was a ans for the royal family to quickly issue orders. Generally, the people who could directly transmit ssages to him through this Heavenly Seal token held important positions, either in the imperial court or were pillars of the Da Xia Empire.
Their numbers were scarce, and unless there was sothing significant, no one dared to disturb him.
Of course, Su Yang was an exception.
Opening the Heavenly Seal token, it was a ssage from the governor of Heilin Province, Ning Zhonghe: “Your Majesty, the Great Xia Sword Immortal has arrived and has already resolved the situation here…”
The information transmitted by Ning Zhonghe was very detailed.
From Su Yang’s appearance to his process of eliminating all evil spirits, it was all described.
Even though Xia Xuan was aware of Su Yang’s strength, even though he had witnessed Su Yang’s thods in resolving the situation in Qingyang Province, at this mont, hearing this news still left him imnsely astonished.
Anything Su Yang did shattered his preconceptions, continuously grinding down the idea that he understood the world.
Su Yang was constantly telling him, “Don’t asure my limits with your ignorance. ”
It was a feeling of helplessness.
In reality, Su Yang hadn’t said any of this; these were all Xia Xuan’s own thoughts.
Northern Province
After dealing with the evil spirits in Heilin Province, they appeared at the next location in the powerful flying ship at the Golden Core level in just a short while.
In Northern Province, there were two tasks at hand.
One was the Wrath of the Northern Wilderness Army, and the other was the Beast Calamity.
[Task: Wrath of the Northern Wilderness Army]
Level: LV33
Requirent: Resolve the anger of the Northern Wilderness Army
Reward: Will of All Beings 7,000 to 33,000
[Task: Beast Calamity]
Level: Lv60
Requirent: Resolve the Beast Calamity in the Northern Wilderness
Reward: Will of All Beings 100,000 to 160,000
It was easy to understand the task of resolving the Beast Calamity. However, Su Yang couldn’t quite grasp the aning behind the Wrath of the Northern Wilderness Army.
Why were they angry?
After so thought, Su Yang decided to visit the location of the Northern Wilderness Army to inquire about the situation.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Yang, as usual, inford Xia Xuan of his upcoming journey. He asked Xia Xuan to give instructions to avoid causing discomfort to anyone.
At the sa ti, he took the opportunity to observe the situation in Northern Province.
The places where the common people lived in Northern Province seed relatively well-off. Although there were many demonic beasts, each city and county could handle them on their own. Due to the presence of these demonic beasts, the people here ate well, had stronger bodies, and cultivated faster.
In Su Yang’s perception, the martial cultivation levels of the warriors in Northern Province were generally one step higher than in other provinces.
Of course, this ca at a price.
The benefits brought by eating demonic beast at also ant that there were many who died in the jaws of these beasts.
People ate demonic beasts, and demonic beasts ate people.
It was a struggle for survival, a natural selection of species.
It could be said that the people of Northern Province and the demonic beasts had long beco mortal enemies, a deep-seated hatred that dated back a hundred years.
The appearance of this world’s rift occurred a hundred years ago, and the hatred began from that ti.
After learning about the basic situation in Northern Province, Su Yang arrived at the location of the Northern Wilderness Army.
When his flying ship arrived, the commander of the Northern Wilderness Army, Song Ping’an, personally ca to welco him.
“I am Song Ping’an, the commander of the Northern Wilderness Army. I greet the Great Xia Sword Immortal.”
“Hmm.”
Entering the main hall, Su Yang got straight to the point, saying, “I have two purposes for coming here: one is to deal with the Beast Calamity, and the other is to inquire whether the Northern Wilderness Army has suffered any injustice.”
Upon hearing Su Yang’s inquiry, Song Ping’an’s heart stirred.
Was he here to support them?
After a mont of silence, he said, “If we talk about injustice, the Northern Wilderness Army hasn’t suffered any injustice, but if we talk about sothing that made us angry, the Northern Wilderness Army did experience it.”
“It was two years ago. More and more demonic beasts were erging from the depths of the Northern Wilderness. In order to prevent a massive beast tide, I discussed with the Zhou Family, the first family in Northern Province, to join forces in clearing out the demonic beasts.”
“According to our plan, the Zhou Family was supposed to block the demonic beasts coming from one direction.”
“For the Zhou Family, this was supposed to be an easy task.”
“But during the operation, the demonic beasts that the Zhou Family was supposed to intercept unexpectedly appeared on the front lines. A sudden influx of a large number of demonic beasts caught the Northern Wilderness Army off guard, resulting in the deaths of sixty thousand of our soldiers. You should know that the entire Northern Wilderness Army only has three hundred thousand soldiers.”
“After investigating later, I found out that the Zhou Family deliberately let them through. It was only due to a personal grudge between one of the Zhou Family’s generals and a Northern Wilderness Army officer that led to the deaths of sixty thousand people.”
“Afterwards, the Zhou Family insisted it was not intentional and offered compensation. In the end, they only compensated thirty million taels of silver.”
“My six thousand brothers, sixty thousand lives, can’t be brought back with thirty million taels of silver.”
“But the Zhou Family has six Heaven Transforming Realm experts. They even used the defense against the beast tide as a threat. If we were to take action against the Zhou Family, they would wash their hands of the beast tide problem, and even hinted that if they were troubled, the remaining soldiers of the Northern Wilderness Army would fare even worse.”
“With my current strength, I can’t seek justice for my fallen brothers.”
“Whenever I think about this, I feel powerless. I’ve let down my brothers who trusted .”
Song Ping’an’s voice trembled as he spoke the last words, each word biting.
If possible, how could he not seek justice for his subordinates?
“Is that so?”
“If I help you seek justice, what do you intend to do?”
Su Yang calmly spoke.
Song Ping’an knew of Su Yang’s strength and naturally understood that Su Yang could do it.
It was just that the opportunity to avenge his subordinates was right in front of him, and he was confused.
He could ask Su Yang to take action against the Zhou Family.
He could seek montary satisfaction, but what would be the consequences?
The Northern Wilderness defense line would be at risk of collapsing, and under the onslaught of the beast tide, the countless people in Northern Province would fall into disaster.
Countless people would die because of this.
Behind them were the people they had fought desperately to protect.
Now, for a mont of satisfaction, they were endangering thousands of lives.
Could he…really do it?
The greater good and the imdiate satisfaction clashed in his mind.
But the greater good, ensuring the safety of thousands of people, ultimately prevailed.
Song Ping’an’s thoughts were in turmoil, and the words “destroy the Zhou Family” remained unspoken.
“Brothers, would you bla ?” He wondered.
Su Yang looked at Song Ping’an, who remained silent for a long ti, and had so speculations in his heart.
“What are you hesitating about?”
“Are you afraid that if I destroy the Zhou Family, no one will be there to stop the beast tide?”
Song Ping’an nodded, as that was indeed what he was thinking.
Is this a lack of trust in ? Su Yang sighed, “Have you forgotten that I ca here with two tasks in mind?”
“I will also eliminate the beast tide, so rest assured.”
“In fact, no matter what your answer is, I have already decided to destroy the Zhou Family.”
“The Northern Wilderness Army fought to the death to protect the people in the front lines. Every soldier deserves respect.”
“The Zhou Family dared to harm sixty thousand soldiers of the Northern Wilderness Army; this cri deserves punishnt!”
“Here’s the deal: I’ll first deal with the Northern Wilderness demonic beasts, so you don’t have to worry. I’ll give you so ti to prepare. When I return, I’ll take care of the Zhou Family.”
Su Yang didn’t want to explain too much. It was better to eliminate the
Northern Wilderness demonic beasts first; his strength was the only way to dispel doubts..
