My Wife is A Sword God

In a quiet valley where the light was dim, one could see countless stone tablets scattered around, even on the tops of cliffs.

Many figures wearing black robes and carrying huge coffins were sitting in meditation in front of the stone tablets, as if contemplating something.

This was the cultivation method of the Coffin Tomb Family, who used the remaining yin qi of the demons and ghosts who were dead to cultivate themselves, which was similar to the Hundred Ghost Dao Lineage.

Inside a large ancestral hall, an old man was guarding a large coffin, surrounded by several people.

One of them respectfully asked, “Ancestor, the Soul Breaking Hammer is our clan’s treasure. Is it appropriate to lend it out like this?”

It was known that the Coffin Tomb Family travels around the world, collecting the bodies and remains of high-level demons and ghosts in their soul-locking coffins to prevent their posthumous innate divine abilities from plaguing the world.

However, some powerful beings had incorruptible bodies and immortal souls that could separate from their bodies, making it impossible to suppress them with the soul-locking coffin alone.

At that time, the Soul Breaking Hammer had to be used to dismember their bodies and separate their souls so that they could be contained in the soul-locking coffin.

Therefore, the Soul Breaking Hammer was never lent out, and it was always kept in the ancestral hall of the Coffin Tomb Family.

The old man replied, “Don’t worry, I have my own considerations.”

Hearing this, the people in the hall looked at each other, and the man leading them said, “Since the ancestor has spoken, we will not inquire further.”

“Once again, the Garuda Clan of the Southern Domain has reappeared, and the Yin Qi has become chaotic. Powerful demons and ghosts will inevitably appear.”

“Do we have to go to the South Domain to collect the bodies and remains of those demons and ghosts and bring them back to the valley?” someone asked.

The old man sighed and looked at the large coffin in front of him and said, “Yes, you must go to the South Domain, but not to collect the bodies and remains.”

As he spoke, the old man stood up and walked to the front of the large coffin, clasping his hands.

Suddenly, a blue light appeared on the surface of the coffin, and in an instant, the light transformed into several chains that appeared in front of everyone.

These were the Ancient Chaotic Primordial Treasures-the Sky Cloud Chains.

“Ancestor, what is this?” someone asked.

“You will take this to the Southern Domain and hide outside the Zhenling Pass. You will be told what to do next,” 

Both the coffin and the Sky Cloud Chains were relics left behind by the gods and demons when they descended into the world, passed down through generations by the Coffin Tomb Family.

It was said that the Sky Cloud Chains could even bind and suppress gods and demons, making them the highest treasures.

By sending them to the southern region with the Heavenly Cloud Chains, did it not mean that this time, the catastrophe in the southern region would bring forth unimaginably powerful beings?

Recalling the Soul Breaking Hammer lent by their ancestor not long ago, everyone looked solemnly and said, “We understand.” 

…

After three days of marching, the Military War Duke’s Army finally arrived at Prince Luo City.

As the largest Heavenly City in the Southern Domain, there were usually a lot of people coming and going. Today, however, the number of pedestrians was sparse.

Although Imperial City and Prince Luo tried their best to suppress the news that two Heavenly City were destroyed in succession and the Garuda clan reappeared in the southern region, paper could not cover up the fire after all. 

The people were so frightened that they rarely left their homes, let alone the city. 

As for those who made a living from hunting and trading, they had long abandoned their livelihoods and only wanted to stay in the city for protection.

After all, what could be more important than life itself?

Qin Feng and the others entered the city with the Duke’s Military War Army, feeling the tense and solemn atmosphere.

The streets were filled with patrolling soldiers, and the soldiers of Prince Luo’s army, fully equipped and ready for battle, could be seen everywhere, ready to march at a moment’s notice.

Led by the soldiers of Prince Luo’s army, Lie Ying led the Duke’s Military War Army to the battlefield to meet Prince Luo.

Taking advantage of the distraction of the others, Qin Feng and the others exchanged glances and moved closer and closer to the military command platform, eavesdropping on the conversation of the important figures on the platform.

Qin An, being naive, lacked experience in this regard. He stood on tiptoes and raised his ears, fearing that others would not see that he was eavesdropping. 

Fortunately, Qin Feng reminded him in time to avoid drawing the attention of others.

Father Qin, who was an old hand at eavesdropping, gave the two of them tips, such as holding their heads high and looking straight ahead.

Seeing Father Qin’s serious demeanor, Qin Feng’s expression stiffened. He suddenly remembered the scenes of his father and Second Mother hiding behind the corner of the corridor in Jinyang City, secretly watching him interact with his wife. It seemed that his father’s eavesdropping skills had been honed during those times…

On the military command platform, a middle-aged man dressed in battle robes with a solemn expression on his face was none other than Prince Luo of the Southern Domain. 

He looked at Lie Ying and said in a deep voice, “Just last night, another Heavenly City was invaded. Like the two before, the Dragon Sealing Tower was destroyed, the Dragon Sealing Stele disappeared, and the Dragon Spirit was taken away.”

“The third…” Qin Feng and the others couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. It’s only been a few days?

Lie Ying furrowed his brow and asked, “Was there no defense at all?”

“How could there be no defense? In addition to Prince Luo’s army being dispatched to four locations, Commander Nan Tianlong also sent out all the members of the Southern Domain’s Demon Slaying Department.” 

“In fact, the Heavenly City last night was guarded by Spear Immortal Sima Kong, yet the enemy still succeeded. In addition to the Garuda Clan, they also had several mysterious experts, one of whom was an expert archer and had already reached the peak, perhaps even the legendary Fifth Intent Realm Of Myriad Gods.”

“While the Spear Immortal was fighting a bizarre Black Buddha, the archer ambushed him and shot him through the shoulder. If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of the Divine Marquis Army, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Fortunately, his life wasn’t in danger.”

Qin Feng was startled and worried about the Senior Spear Immortal’s safety. After all, he had some dealings with him. It was Senior Spear Immortal who had intervened during the crisis in Shuliang City and calmed the storm in the face of the corpse demons.

From Prince Luo’s words, Qin Feng basically confirmed that the ones helping the Garuda Clan were the ghost-faced people from the Heavenly Burial Organization!

Lie Ying, who had participated in the disaster in the Western Regions, said with a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, the skilled archer should be Gong Du, one of the former Twelve Divine Generals of the Western Regions.” 

“He betrayed the Demon Slaying Department and joined the mysterious Ghost-Faced People, and despite the constant pursuit by the Prison Department and the Demon Slaying Department, his whereabouts remained unknown. Unexpectedly, he reappeared in the southern regions.”

Prince Luo nodded, “As the only person in the world who could master archery to such an extent, I can only think of him.”

“What is the situation at Zhenling Pass?” Lie Ying asked.

“There is still no movement. So far, we have no idea how the Garuda Clan managed to break through the blockade and invade the southern regions,” Prince Luo replied.

Lie Ying remembered something and said, “I heard from Military Strategist Qin earlier that among those ghost-faced people, there is one who excels in spatial arts and can instantly teleport people to another place. Since Gong Du has appeared, that guy must be there as well. He must be using some kind of spatial technique to make it impossible for us to locate the enemy.”

“Damn, I’ve always hated these things the most. Since we can’t locate the enemy, why don’t we just attack Tianshan Mountain directly and wipe out those Garuda Clan bird people once and for all!” 

“I’ve been itching to kill those bird people for a long time, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t get the chance,” he grumbled.

“General Lie, please refrain from being reckless.”

After chatting for a while, Prince Luo turned to the young man beside him and said, “Yu’er, the Military War Duke’s Army has traveled a long way to get here and must be exhausted. In the next few days, there will surely be a big battle. Today, take care of them in the city, let them rest and recuperate.”

As his words fell, there was no response.

Prince Luo glanced over to see his own child staring intently at something in the direction below the platform. “Yu’er, what are you looking at?”

Luo Yu withdrew his gaze and smiled as he replied, “It is said that the Duke’s Military War Army is unsurpassed in bravery. Today, seeing them in person, they truly live up to their reputation. I couldn’t help but take a closer look. Father, rest assured, I’ll take care of the preparations for the Military War Duke Army.”

“That’s good, then.”
