"What's going on?"

Balliard and Jax were slowly moving towards Wuji, but they saw many people running from the direction of Wuji.

"No matter what happened, something must have happened to Wuji."

Balliard was very sure of his conjecture, so he did not ask the people what they thought. However, Jax was different.

It was Balliard who speculated that something might happen in Wuji, so he and Balliard headed towards Wuji. It was also Balliard who said that rushing there too eagerly might miss a lot of information, causing Void to achieve its goal.

Balliard kept saying that he wanted to get information along the way, but now he acted like he didn't want to ask anything. Jax really wanted to punch Balliard.

"You wait here, I'll go over and ask."

Jax took practical action. He didn’t know where Balliard learned that something would happen to Wuji. However, he still had doubts about Balliard’s identity and could not completely believe Balliard’s information.

news.

He had to obtain some information on his own, but he could not be deceived by Valliard.

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

Balliard is a little impatient. Anyway, he has confirmed the existence of the void, and Jax is unlikely to take action against him again, especially without definite evidence that he is a villain.

And is Balliard a villain in this world line?

There is no Shadow Island in this world line, and there are no stupid undead to ruin his reputation. At most, he is an incarnation of a god whose power is biased toward darkness. How can he be a villain?

"Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

Jax just stood in front of the people and asked.

Use honorifics? For example, "Laozhang" or something like that? How is that possible? He is much older than these aging-looking humans. No matter what, he would never call others Laozhang.

"May I ask you are……"

The people looked at each other in confusion. They were not sure of Jax's identity. The clothes on his body looked very gorgeous. He should be a noble. However, is it disrespectful for a noble to speak like this?

Could it be some bandit who robbed a noble?

"Jax, Jax the God of War."

This is Jax's name among the people. Even though he is only a clergyman, because of his long life, great strength and unparalleled skills, he is given the honorific title of God of War.

He does not think that he is a god, and he has never claimed to be a god of war in front of Balliard, but in this place, facing these people, if he uses his name as a god of war, he may be able to obtain more information.

"..."

My father-in-law is a little embarrassed, God of War? That legendary figure? Isn’t it right? In this day and age, there are still people who use legendary figures to deceive others?

Is this a lunatic?

The father-in-law felt a little dangerous, so he took a step back slightly, and then prepared to change the topic.

"We are the people living near the town south of Wuji. Recently, a demon clan wants to cross Wuji and attack the empire. We are forced to move."

"There should be a big city over there, right? Why do you have to come here?"

Although Jax often lives in the mountains and does not go out, a large city with a long history, even if it is destroyed, will be rebuilt near the original site. According to Jax's memory, there are two or three large cities south of Wuji.

City.

Although these big cities are not major military towns, they can still withstand the invasion of monsters for a while.

"Isn't this because the Marquis there plans to drive us back?"

The people also had some complaints.

They learned the news about the invasion of the demon clan from the people in the world. They would not believe it at first, but then the people in the world said that there was a county magistrate who risked his life just to deliver the news.

Only then did the people believe it.

If it wasn't a big deal, how could those civil servants give up their lives?

Then, when they fled with their families to a nearby big city, the managers there refused to accept them and even planned to drive them back.

Some of the weak-willed ones went back, while they continued to go south, preparing to find a city willing to accept them.

"Why did he drive you back?"

Jax continued to ask. Although the words spoken by these common people were trustworthy, there were too many doubts and contradictions in them.

If the demon clan invaded, how could the marquis there push the refugees back? But if there had been no demon clan invasion, why would these people have fled all the way to the vicinity of Kaiyang City?

"..."

The old man didn't answer, and the other people didn't know what to say or what not to say, so they all remained silent.

"Okay then, have any of you confirmed the news that Wuji has been breached?"

Jax doesn't make things difficult for these people. Everyone has their own difficulties, and since a group of people here are unwilling to reveal the information, it would be too much for him to forcefully question them.

"We just heard that a county magistrate entrusted people in the world to deliver the news and let us evacuate. Moreover, the county magistrate has been arrested by the Marquis for this matter."

Common people have their own channels to pass on news. When one common person knows something, basically all the common people here know about it.

"Why was he arrested? And why did he let people in the world deliver the news? Didn't he have any petty officials or government servants under him?"

Jax felt that there were more doubts. If it weren't for these common people, none of whom had the fourth level of strength, he would have thought that these people were hired by Valyard to play him.

"this……"

The common people didn't know why. Anyway, when the Jianghu people talked about it, as soon as they heard that a scholar would save their lives, they were moved and came here.

They don't know the reason, and they don't delve too much into the issues behind these things.

They are just ordinary people who have not read books, and they do not consider many things so comprehensively.

"Let me explain, Jax."

Balliard still came up and asked the people such questions without seeing whether they could understand them.

For general information, there is really nothing wrong with asking these people.

However, you have to ask the people where this news came from, why it was passed on, and why did you believe this news... Do you think you are interrogating prisoners?

Or do you think these people are all secretly Wen Zong?

"You come?

What do you know?"

Jax didn't want to let Balliard explain, because he didn't completely trust Balliard, and Balliard himself was very eloquent. He was worried that Balliard would mislead these people and let the people know that as soon as Balliard opened his mouth, he would

The people felt that what Balliard said was right, and they came here because of what Balliard explained.

"I know more than you. After all, I am also a civil servant. Although it is only a casual position, but come to think of it, my official position is not only the first grade but also the second grade."

Balliard is a disciple of Jin, and he is also a natural Taoist. Although he has not been awarded any official position, he is listed in the court as a "Tiantian Taoist". It is just this identity.

It is enough for him to face any civil servant, so it is a fact that he is equivalent to a first or second grade official in official position.

"..."

My father-in-law started to sweat coldly. One madman is not enough. There is a second madman. A first- and second-level official? You don’t even know what level you are, yet you dare to say this?

Moreover, any of the first- and second-grade officials are in their forties or fifties, and no matter how bad they are, they are still going to the fourth grade. Look at this person who claims to be a first- and second-grade official... He is about twenty years old, who do you think he is?

?First or second grade at this age.

There is no such thing as fooling ordinary people like them.

However, that being said, Balliard's clothes do make him look like a civil servant, or even worse, a civil servant. Listening to what this civil servant has to say can help them understand the current situation better.

"Sir, please tell me."

The cry of "Sir" was extremely stiff, as if someone had forced something into his mouth without intending to eat.

"Then let me say a few words. First of all, the task assigned to the county magistrate by the Marquis must be to maintain public order. The reason, Jax, should be clear to you. And spreading this kind of news will have a negative impact on local public security.

It was a heavy blow to order, and he was openly disobeying the Marquis's orders.

The petty officials and government servants under him eat the food of the Marquis and receive the salary of the Marquis. If something like this happens, they will avoid it. How can they help the county magistrate to convey the news? If the county magistrate does not ask the Jianghu people

, if his message cannot be conveyed, he will still be captured by the Marquis."

Balliard's speculation was almost indistinguishable from the truth. What he did not speculate on was that the news was not obtained by the county magistrate, and he did not know that the magistrate had killed the person who delivered such important news. Otherwise, he would have

Maybe you will even sigh a few times.

Sometimes the difference between good and evil is not particularly big. Good people will do evil and evil people will do good. All choices are just the most suitable choices made at a specific time and place.

"... If you have nothing else to do, please let Xiaomin and others pass."

The old man didn't think what Balliard said was correct. He was not a well-informed person, so he didn't know whether this was the truth.

Anyway, these two are probably lunatics, and anything a lunatic says should not be believed.

He just wanted to take the people behind him and get rid of these two lunatics as soon as possible.

"Jax, you decide. If you don't have any questions to ask, don't stop them. The monsters are invading and these are the people who will suffer. Let them go to Kaiyang City, and maybe they can be properly resettled."

Balliard was not the one to stop these people, so he had no right to let them go. Of course, the most important thing was that he did not want to overstep his way, lest he arouse Jax's suspicion again.

"...go over there."
