Mortal Mirror

“Hiss…” The person at the very front pulled on the reins, and the horse stopped just a few steps away from Li Ergou.

The newcomer was a young man who didn't look much older than Li Ergou. After a quick scan, Li Ergou discovered that this person's cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage. What a surprise, a truly formidable fellow had arrived.

However, this person was dressed quite eccentrically, with strands of hair braided into small pigtails, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a scar on his left cheek, likely from a sword or blade.

With such cultivation, removing the scar wouldn't be a problem. It seemed this person simply liked to show off, Li Ergou thought maliciously.

As soon as this person dismounted, the Prefect and others surrounded him, greeting him warmly, "Situ Qianxing, long time no see, you still have the same demeanor as before."

Hearing this, Li Ergou felt that this person must be quite old, even though he looked young. Maybe he had taken some youth-preserving pills.

At this point, he also learned the person's position and name: Situ Qianxing, one of the four chief constables of Baojing Prefecture.

Situ Qianxing chuckled, "Uncle, you flatter me. You are the same, becoming even more prosperous."

The Prefect laughed heartily, "Isn't that the truth? When a person reaches my stage, they stop seeking improvement. In recent years, I've been neglecting cultivation, and my cultivation hasn't progressed an inch, unlike you young people, full of vigor."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Situ Qianxing got down to business, saying, "This time, Constable God ordered me to come and thoroughly investigate the meteorite matter. Actually, this matter is quite strange, and I have heard some rumors.

The specifics, I won't elaborate, everyone knows. I will do my best. If it really doesn't work out, I can only ask Constable God to take action personally."

The Prefect's expression also became serious, "Good, I like the efficiency of you young people. However, I am old and have limited energy.

You and County Commandant Luo Tian can discuss this matter together. There are many troubling matters in the city, so I won't participate in your affairs."

Situ Qianxing didn't mind, after all, the Prefect couldn't offer much help. He looked at Luo Tian and said politely, "Alright, Brother Luo, then I'll trouble you."

In terms of official rank, Situ Qianxing was one of the four chief constables of Baojing Prefecture, whose position was half a level higher than the County Commandant's.

However, the two were acquaintances, so naturally, he wouldn't put on airs.

Luo Tian quickly said, "Lord Qianxing, you are too polite."

Luo Tian suddenly thought of something and looked at Bai Su, "What is the situation on the meteorite side?"

Bai Su looked at Li Ergou, "Ergou, why don't you tell the adults about the specific situation there?"

Layer upon layer of questioning, and in the end, Li Ergou had to bear all the responsibility.

He didn't hesitate and immediately reported truthfully, "Reporting to the adults, the meteorite is now occupied by countless birds and demonized beasts. We were just forced back, and we don't know what it's like there now."

The County Commandant was surprised, "What, it's lost? How could it be so fast? Is the situation there very serious?"

Li Ergou had no choice but to explain in detail, telling everyone about the terrifying nature of the birds and how they were helpless.

After listening to Li Ergou's account, everyone realized that even the birds had been demonized. If that was the case, it was even worse. Imagine, against those demonic beasts, there were city walls to defend, but what about the birds? They were impossible to block. Everyone felt that things were serious.

Situ Qianxing hadn't actually witnessed the scene, so he couldn't make a judgment and could only say, "Why don't we go there and take a look before making a plan?

I think everyone knows that meteorite occurrences are happening everywhere now, which is very troublesome. There isn't a good solution at the moment. Everyone is feeling their way across the river, and we can only take things one step at a time."

Everyone deeply agreed with his words.

At this time, Li Ergou was very happy and said without hesitation, "In that case, I will set off with the adults now."

Situ Qianxing nodded, "Good, let's just the two of us go. No one else needs to go. When I came, I saw demonic creatures starting to attack the city. You should make preparations early.

If it really doesn't work, activate the city's protective formation."

Hearing the words 'city's protective formation,' everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. What a joke! Once the city's protective formation was activated, the consumption would be no laughing matter. In a few days, Fish City would squander decades of accumulation.

Of course, these were all things that only the big shots would worry about. Li Ergou and Situ Qianxing had already left on their swords.

When the two arrived in the sky above the meteorite and saw the scene in front of them, Li Ergou felt a chill run down his spine.

At the edge of the meteorite in front, countless birds and beasts densely surrounded the entire meteorite. Many beasts had become even larger, perhaps because they had eaten the liquid on the stone.

He saw several sparrows that had grown to three or four meters tall, like giant eagles. Their eyes shone with red light, and they were extremely ferocious.

Some demonic creatures were even fighting each other for the golden liquid.

Situ Qianxing said, "Good heavens, these demonic creatures are growing so fast. Wouldn't they become a threat in a few days? What exactly is on that meteorite that attracts these little fellows?"

Li Ergou naturally wouldn't hide anything and immediately said, "There is some golden liquid on the meteorite. Presumably, those liquids have already been eaten by these guys."

Situ Qianxing snorted coldly, "Good, then let's see what this liquid is, that it is so powerful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ergou saw him move his divine sense and cast a sword technique. Immediately, the flying sword behind him hummed and flew out with a metallic sound.

The flying sword was like a shooting star, carrying infinite power, instantly rushing into the group of demonic beasts. The next moment, Li Ergou saw that wherever the flying sword passed, infinite sword energy burst out, directly turning those demonic beasts into a bloody pulp.

The flying sword only made one circle and cleared all the demonic beasts within a ten-zhang radius around the stone. This scene frightened even the demonic beasts.

In the end, they were still afraid of death. A trace of remaining reason told them to retreat, retreat.

Not to mention those demonic beasts, even Li Ergou was taken aback. He only felt that Situ Qianxing was indeed one of the four chief constables of the prefecture. The ferocity of his sword technique was something he had never seen before. Domineering, too domineering.

To be honest, Li Ergou's eyes were opened at this moment. This Nascent Soul stage cultivator was truly extraordinary and admirable.

After clearing those fellows, Situ Qianxing nonchalantly flew towards the meteorite. He flew around above the meteorite and frowned.

Li Ergou didn't dare to say much. Then, he saw Situ Qianxing extend his finger and smear it on the stone.

Seeing this, Li Ergou immediately stopped him, "Sir, you can't! This thing is very powerful. Don't touch it easily."

Situ Qianxing smiled and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've seen all kinds of powerful things. No need to panic. Let me see what's causing trouble."

He didn't know what kind of supernatural power he used, but golden light shone in his eyes, shooting towards the golden thing.

After a moment, Situ Qianxing's expression changed drastically. Li Ergou saw that the golden liquid on his hand seemed to come alive, actually drilling into his finger.
