“Brother Wei, what is this Thousand Source Egg?”

After passing through the dangerous foggy area, Xu Ning asked.

“The Thousand Source Egg is a strange life form.”

Wei Binglin said, “Once it hatches, it can become a kind of bug that can condense aura. It does not need to be fed, it instead absorbs aura. After the process of digestion and absorption, its body will discharge Aura Crystals.”

“Aura Crystals?”

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this thing.

“That’s right. After the Thousand Source Egg hatches, they will produce Aura Crystals every few days. Aura Crystals can be used for martial arts practice..”

“Brother Xu, you of course know that normally, we need all kinds of spirit medicine and herbal medicine to nourish ourselves. However, over-reliance on medicine will form impurity deposits in the body.”

“But Aura Crystals are different. They are formed from the direct absorption of aura by the Thousand Source Bugs, so it does not produce additional impurities.”

Wei Zicheng explained to Xu Ning.

“It can be regarded as a spirit tonic without side effects…”

Xu Ning finally gained an understanding of the Thousand Source Bug and Aura Crystals.

‘I wonder if Aura Crystals can be used as an energy source.’

Xu Ning was slightly worried.

After all, his sources of energy were either dan medicine or herbal medicine.

‘I feel so grateful to receive a Thousand Source Egg because of these two.’

Xu Ning thanked Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng.

“Brother Xu, you’re welcome.”

Wei Binglin said, “Grandpa Liu said he wants to become friends with you. I have heard from my grandpa that he has helped a lot of people when he was young. And later when he encounters any problems, those people he had helped will pull him out of his dilemma.”

“So, Brother Xu, no need to thank us. As long as you remember Grandpa Liu’s favor, then it’s enough.”

Xu Ning sighed after hearing this.

‘After crossing into this world, there have been so many people helping me along the way.’

Guo Ye and Tao Yungang had helped him. Later on, Qu Dayou supported him. And now, Liu Yijian and the Wei family were helping him as well.

‘My luck is pretty good.’

…

When they came out of Yunze Mountains and returned to Kangyun County, the sun had already set.

“Why are there so many people entering the city so late?”

Near the gates of the city, Xu Ning saw the Kangyun County City Gates were packed with people trying to get in.

However, at the gates of the city, there were a large number of city guards armed with weapons, preventing anyone from entering.

“What is going on?”

Xu Ning looked at those who were trying to enter the city. They all looked like refugees, carrying their luggages and holding their children.

“Brother Xu, what is this…”

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were also puzzled, so they asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning shook his head. “I don’t know, something must have happened.”

They went forward.

“Move, all of you move out of the way!”

After seeing Xu Ning’s Black Armored Guards uniform, the city guards immediately scolded those who wanted to squeeze into the city gates.

The city guards held up their spears and lined up together to make way for Xu Ning and the others.

Xu Ning quickly rode through the gap in the crowd.

He looked at the people on both sides, their eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.

“I’m Xu Ning, Lieutenant of Maple Lane Guard Station.”

After entering the city, Xu Ning stepped off his horse, stood in front of the city guard leader, took out his paiza, and proved his identity to the leader.

“What happened here? Why are so many people trying to enter the city?”

Xu Ning asked the city guard leader.

When the city guard leader saw Xu Ning’s status, he immediately replied, “Master Xu, these people are all here to escape.”

“In the middle of last night, a rebellion broke out in Dingyun County. Two Black Armored Guards and city guards began to rebel. The rebels seemed to have won the battle with the help of external forces, and they took control of the entire Dingyun County.”

“This really happen?”

Not only Xu Ning, but Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng next to him were also surprised.

‘A Black Armored Guards rebellion?’

In the history of the Black Armored Guards, this kind of thing has never happened before.

“With the help of external forces…”

Xu Ning noticed this key detail. “You said that the rebels had the help of external forces. What kind of external forces are they?”

“We don’t know yet.”

The city guard leader replied truthfully, “The rebellion in Dingyun County was told to us by someone who fled here at noon today, so we still don’t know the specific details.”

When Xu Ning heard the reply, he had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Almost instinctively, Xu Ning thought of the Magic Faction forces that had appeared in the city recently.

“Maybe it’s not a coincidence…”

Xu Ning realized the seriousness of the matter.

“Guys, there is an emergency. I have to go back to the guard station first!”

Xu Ning quickly said to Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng.

“Brother Xu, go ahead.”

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng also knew something major had happened.

They also wanted to go to Wei Changqing to see how things were going.

“I’ll borrow this horse for now, I’ll return it tomorrow!”

Xu Ning cupped his fists and bid farewell, then he went straight to Maple Lane.

Xu Ning saw that Kangyun County had completely changed.

Last night, Kangyun County still had a lively and bustling night scene.

But now, all of the shops on the road were closed, and all of the roadside stalls have disappeared.

Instead, he saw a large number of refugees who had nowhere to stay, roaming the streets with their families.

They were closely guarded by the city guards who were patrolling back and forth, as if they were suspects about to be reprimanded or even beaten by the city guards.

‘These should be the first batch of refugees entering the city…’

They already entered the city before the Kangyun County Guards could react.

In order to ensure the stability of Kangyun County, the rest of the refugees who wanted to enter the city had no chance to enter.

‘If the situation continues to deteriorate, these people will definitely be prosecuted, and maybe expelled from the city…’

Xu Ning knew very well that these refugees would disrupt Kangyun County’s stability.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

The horse quickly galloped.

Soon after, Xu Ning reached Maple Lane.

“Master Lieutenant!”

“Master Lieutenant!”

“…”

Xu Ning saw that all of the city guards at the guard station in Maple Lane had been dispatched.

Everyone saluted Xu Ning.

All those who were still wandering in the streets without a place to stay were instructed to squat near the walls, without being allowed to move.

The entire Maple Lane was in lockdown.

“Old Feng!”

As soon as Xu Ning arrived at the guard station, he saw that Feng Sigua was about to go outside with a group of guards.

When Feng Sigua saw Xu Ning, he looked as if he had received a heart attack. “Master Xu, you are finally back!”

“Tell me what you know.”

Xu Ning did not go back to the study. He directly asked Feng Sigua to explain the situation.

Feng Sigua summarized the rebellion in Dingyun County.

The information he had was also vague, similar to the previous city guard leader.

“After confirming the rebellion in Dingyun County, news came from above. They asked each guard station to control the refugees to prevent riots, and wait for instructions later. Since you weren’t here, Master Tao took over as the leading voice.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Xu Ning also knew that there was no way to get more information. “You’re dismissed.”

Feng Sigua left, and Xu Ning entered the guard station.

The guard station was empty, except for a few city guards standing at the entrance.

Tao Qingping, Song Weiyi and others had gone out to maintain order.

‘This sudden rebellion is likely related to the Magic Faction…’

Xu Ning was under tremendous pressure.

Xu Ning now had an urgent desire for strength.

The more chaotic the situation, the stronger he had to be.
