Wooden Dungeon and Sharingan, you want me to be your assistant?

"It's not good, something happened!"

Wang Daochuan hurriedly walked over, his expression a little solemn.

"Lao Wang, what happened to be so panicked? Unlike you, the pants were stolen? It

was rare to see Wang Daochuan look so flustered, Jiang Lei couldn't help but tease.

"Your pants were stolen!"

Even if he was flustered, Wang Daochuan was not willing to be taken advantage of by Jiang Lei.

These two old guys, who together are more than a hundred years old, do not admit defeat at all.

"Okay, Headmaster, what's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?"

In the end, Jiang Ping pulled away from the topic.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really something important, Wang Daochuan would not be in such a hurry to rush over.

"Something happened in the North District." Speaking of business, Wang Daochuan's face immediately became solemn

, "To be precise, something happened at the junction with our northern district. According to the report of the defenders of the North District, many humans and monsters have appeared in the North District recently, attacking us frequently.

"If it's just an ordinary attack, we certainly don't have to care." But according to the soldiers defending the city, those people were probably some kind of puppet. And there are also some people from our Holy Empire who have been made into puppets to attack us!

Jiang Lei wrinkled his brows and thought carefully for a moment,

"Puppet? I remember that the puppet system can only manipulate humanoid puppets, and can't really treat people as puppets, right? "

There are puppet lines, but the puppet line can't make real people into puppets.

"I'm afraid this is not a simple puppet line." Wang Daochuan's expression became more solemn

, "I went to see one of the puppets, and there is a residual aura of 'Soul Gathering Stone' on them."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lei seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

"Soul Gathering Stone?" Jiang Ping had a faint impression of the name,

"Is it the kind of strange stone that can condense the soul?"

He had seen in the book about the introduction of the Soul Gathering Stone, which is a magical stone that can gather souls, and its main function is to calm the soul and be useful for treating insomnia.

But the Soul Gathering Stone also has another effect - absorbing souls, so that the person attached to the Soul Gathering Stone becomes a walking dead.

This effect requires special methods to use, and none of the Holy Empire's texts currently record special methods. Therefore, ordinary people use soul gathering stones, which can only be used to calm the mind and condense the soul and treat insomnia.

But obviously, someone now has a way to use the second effect of the Soul Gathering Stone!

"Are you sure it's the Soul Gathering Stone?"

Jiang Lei seemed to be unable to believe it, and asked again in an emphatic tone.

"It can't be wrong, it's the Soul Gathering Stone!" Wang Daochuan nodded very seriously, "I can't be mistaken, what remains on Li Wanyue's body back then is also the breath of the Soul Gathering Stone!" Hearing

the name 'Li Wanyue', Jiang Ping was slightly surprised.

Because Li Wanyue is his mother!

"Dad, what's going on? The matter of the old mother back then is also related to the Soul Gathering Stone? Jiang Ping quickly asked.

Jiang Lei was silent for a while before nodding: "You have grown up now, and there is no need to hide some things from you."

"When your mother died, we couldn't find the murderer. The only clue was that there was a residual aura of soul gathering stones on her body. "

For so many years, I have been looking for the murderer back then, and someone who may know how to use the second function of the Soul Gathering Stone, but I have never found it."

"I didn't expect that now, someone actually used the Soul Gathering Stone again!"

Back then, when Li Wanyue died, Jiang Ping was only ten years old.

At that time, he didn't understand anything, only knew that since then, only he and Jiang Lei were left in the family.

Later, slowly growing up, Jiang Ping never wanted to go over to investigate the truth of Li Wanyue's sacrifice, but just thought that she was a normal sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, there was another secret back then!

"Soul Gathering Stone... In that case, let's go to the North District ourselves.

Jiang Ping immediately made a decision.

There is no need for any hesitation.

Since the murderer of Li Wanyue back then used the Soul Gathering Stone, just grasp the clue of the Soul Gathering Stone and not let go!

"Good."

Jiang Lei nodded heavily.

Then he suddenly picked up the half bottle of wine on the table and dried it all in one go.

Let the heat of the entrance stir up hatred in the depths of his memory!

......

Holy Empire, Northern District.

As the location of the Holy King City, the North District has always been a place heavily guarded by the Holy Empire, and even the area of the Holy King City has been divided into forbidden areas!

With Jiang Ping becoming the new Divine King, he shifted his focus to Huaihai City, resulting in the Northern Region not having the former strictness.

However, the Holy King Fire is still in the Holy King City, so it needs to be guarded by heavy troops.

North District, side plug city walls.

There was no one to guard it until recently, when a group of people was redeployed.

After all, outside the North District, there are two behemoths, the Snow Clan and the Storm City.

On the city wall, Kong Changxing, the general defending the city, was patrolling with high vigilance, and shouted:

"Give me twelve points of spirit, strictly prevent the next round of attacks!"

In just half a month, they have already suffered four or five attacks.

On average, once every three or four days.

This is very unusual at the stage of the revival of the Holy Empire.

The other imperial forces were all thinking about how to avoid the Holy Empire, and only their northern region had suffered the most sneak attacks recently.

"General, the last two attacks, the other party is obviously much stronger, there are already fourth-order high-level powers, and two more times, I'm afraid even fifth-order powerhouses are coming." The adjutant general was worried and expressed concern.

Their city defense army was only temporarily dispatched, and the strongest Kong Changxing was only a fourth-order high-level.

If the other party attacks the fifth-order supernatural next time, they will not be able to hold on.

"I have already applied for support from my superiors, and reinforcements should come soon." Kong Changxing's expression was heavy.

He was originally a general of the Holy Empire, and it was his honor and mission to be able to go to the soup for the Holy Empire again.

Even if you die, you must die on the walls of the Holy Empire!

"No, we've arrived."

An indifferent voice suddenly sounded beside Kong Changxing.

He was taken aback, quickly turned around, and saw the space beside him distorted, and three figures walked out of the space.

The current Generalissimo of the Holy Empire, Wang Daochuan!

The current Grand Marshal of the Holy Empire, Jiang Lei!

And, Holy King!

After seeing the three comers, the people on the entire city wall were taken aback, quickly straightened their bodies, clenched their fists in front of them with their right hands, and bowed their heads slightly,

"I have seen the Holy King!"

"No need to be polite."

Jiang Ping waved his hand, and when he saw Kong Changxing, he was a little surprised

, "I seem to remember you, from

Tai'an City..." Kong Changxing immediately saluted, "Kong Changxing,

the former general of Tai'an City and the current commander of the Northern District Fortress City Defense Army, has seen the Holy King!"
