The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
"Master...Master, something terrible has happened!"
"The Shahe Gang is dead!"
"They're all dead!"
"Not a single living person was there."
Bang!
The vase fell to the ground, and Wei Wenyuan's face turned deathly pale.
Dead!
He actually died.
Why is this happening?
No, I have to run.
"Prepare the carriage immediately!"
"Leave the city!"
......
We won!
"Master Li has won!"
"The Shahe Gang was completely wiped out."
A roar echoed through the silent street.
A figure rushed into the teahouse with its doors tightly shut.
Inside the teahouse, tea drinkers sat one by one.
Upon seeing the man enter, someone asked, "Did you really win?"
Before the man could answer, the people around him began to whisper among themselves.
"That's impossible!"
"That's the Shahe Gang!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Not only do you not believe it, but if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either!!"
After taking a big gulp of tea, the man said with lingering fear, "The bodies on that street in Zhenwu Division haven't been cleaned up yet. You can go and see for yourselves if you don't believe me."
"Really? I'll go check!"
In the teahouse, some daring customers stood up.
......
"vomit!"
"I'm such a jerk!"
"I shouldn't have come."
On the main street of Zhenwu Division, the carriages creaked and groaned.
The carriage was piled high with human heads, mutilated bodies, severed limbs, and internal organs...
This scene left the onlookers completely stunned.
......
The news spread like wildfire, quickly bringing everyone to their senses.
Guangnan County, city gate.
"Halt! The magistrate has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Seeing the carriage speeding towards them from afar, Feng He immediately stepped forward.
"You bastard, you're blind as a bat!"
"You dare to stop the magistrate's carriage!"
Lin Tao rode forward on horseback.
Feng He didn't say anything, but just looked into the distance.
There sat several burly men with menacing expressions.
One of them walked up to the carriage with a smile.
"Your Excellency, Lord Yan invites you to visit the Zhenwu Division. You won't refuse, will you?"
Upon hearing his words, Lin Tao's face turned deathly pale.
Wei Wenyuan, inside the carriage, was trembling with fear.
He wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the courage.
The guards who were positioned around the carriage looked at each other in bewilderment.
......
"Lord Wei, welcome with a drink!"
"We've been waiting for you!"
At the entrance of Zhenwu Division, Yan Mingshu changed into a brand new white robe.
The spotless white robe looked eerie against the backdrop of corpses scattered around the entrance to the Zhenwu Division.
Wei Wenyuan stepped off the carriage, trembling.
"Fools, are you all just sitting around doing nothing? Aren't you going to help Lord Wei up?"
It wasn't until Yan Mingshu spoke that the guards, who had been terrified out of their wits, snapped out of their daze.
Wei Wenyuan's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Lord Yan!"
"I'm so wronged!"
"These Shahe gang thugs are not human."
"As soon as they entered the city, they rushed into the county government office without saying a word."
"That He Yishen directly threatened me."
"He said he would kill me if I didn't obey."
"I had no choice but to send someone to notify the forces within the city to assemble!"
"You also know the Shahe Gang's notorious reputation."
"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, please, please let me go!"
Looking at Wei Wenyuan, who was weeping bitterly.
Yan Mingshu's smile vanished.
He approached Wei Wenyuan and said, "Now, stand up!"
"I'll tell you, and you'll listen."
"First, immediately post notices listing all the actions of the Shahe Gang, and also issue me arrest warrants, including all members of the Shahe Gang on the bounty list."
"Secondly, the Blood Sword Hall, Bajiquan, Longwei Martial Arts School, Long Spear Sect... colluded with the Shahe Gang to storm the Zhenwu Division's government office. Their crimes are heinous and unforgivable. Immediately send people to arrest all members of these forces."
"Third, confiscate their property. All the proceeds from the confiscation do not need to be handed over; transport them all to the Zhenwu Division's residence!"
"Fourth, you idiot, spit out everything you've eaten over the years. If you're short even a penny, I'll chop off your head."
"Fifth, immediately write a memorial to the court detailing what happened in Guangnan County."
"Sixth, after doing all this, resign from your post!"
"Thank you, Master Yan, for your life!"
Wei Wenyuan got up and ran, not daring to stay for even a second longer.
......
"Lord Yan, I'm looking for Li Fan!"
"Miss, who are you?"
Yan Mingshu was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Xue suddenly appear.
Does Li Fan, this taciturn guy, know any women besides Yang Xiaoqian?
And she didn't seem afraid of the corpses at all.
interesting!
Could it be that...
"Jin Ding Sect, Jiang Xue."
Jiang Xue introduced him generously: "He is my senior brother, Cao Tengfei!"
Jin Ding Zong.
Jiang Xue!
Why does this name seem somewhat familiar to me?
Let me think, who told me that?
ginger!
Senior Jiang Lan once said that she has a younger sister named Jiang Xue.
It can't be such a coincidence!
"Don't you have an older sister named Jiang Lan?"
"Oh, you know my sister? Are you perhaps her disciple?"
really!
This world is so small.
The phrase "a single ginger plant covers the southern state" indeed originated from here.
Jiang Lan, the top female disciple and the top female teacher at Jixia Academy.
Her talent surpassed that of her peers.
Even among the older students of Jixia Academy, only Senior Nangong could rival him.
Currently, among the younger generation of Jixia Academy, there is no one as gifted and prodigious as her.
"I'm your sister's junior!"
"I'm curious, what do you want with Li Fan?"
"I want him to marry me!"
Yan Mingshu: ? ? ? ?
I fucking swear!
Why should I?!
Didn't Senior Jiang Lan say that her younger sister is arrogant and conceited?
Why is she here and being asked to marry Li Fan?
Cao Tengfei simply turned his head to the side.
My junior sister is so decisive in her actions.
......
Deep inside the Zhenwu Division's residence, Li Fan had started a fire and was roasting meat.
Li Feiyu, Wang Taishan, and Xiaobai were focused on eating meat.
"Brother Li Fan, you know what, meat with some blood in it does taste a bit better!"
"Oh, Lord Yan has arrived! Please sit down and eat with us!"
"You even took a special bath, since you're going to a brothel tonight anyway, it's so convenient to shower together there!"
What an idiot.
They have absolutely no sense of observation!
Yan Mingshu said with a dark face, "If you can talk, then talk more!"
He really wanted to say, "Are you blind, you son of a bitch?"
The woman behind me couldn't see me.
If this were my wife, you would have killed me.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You flatter me, Lord Yan."
You flatter me!
"Hey, Lord Yan, who is that fairy behind you?"
"In this situation, I only want to compose a poem."
"A smile that could topple a city, a second smile that could topple a nation."
Damn it.
This isn't poetry!
Yan Mingshu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Li Fan, Jiang Xue, they're looking for you!"
"Vice Sect Leader Wang, Chief Constable Li, please go out first. They have something to discuss privately!"
Jiang Xue's identity is too special.
What she said was shocking.
If word gets out, Li Fan will be in big trouble.
......
"Li Fan, marry me!"
Jiang Xue sat by the fire, her gaze burning as she looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan was taken aback at first, then handed over a piece of grilled meat, "Eat the meat first!"
"good!"
Jiang Xue took the meat and tore off a large piece.
The fresh sweetness bursts in your mouth, and a strange sensation spreads.
Yan Mingshu and Cao Tengfei sat to the side, gnawing on meat, but they couldn't shake off their dissatisfaction.
......
"eat!"
"No need, I'm full!"
Jiang Xue patted her stomach and looked gently at Li Fan, saying, "Eat it yourself!"
"Okay, let's eat and get going!"
Yan Mingshu: ? ? ?
Cao Tengfei: ? ? ?
Under the watchful eyes of the two, Li Fan knocked Jiang Xue unconscious.
"Li Fan, you can't do anything reckless! This is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!"
"Li Fan, put down my junior sister!"
Yan Mingshu and Cao Tengfei stood up at the same time.
Yan Mingshu was afraid that Li Fan would kill Jiang Xue.
Cao Tengfei was afraid of Li Fan and Jiang Xue.
Li Fan picked up Jiang Xue and walked towards Cao Tengfei.
"Once she's eaten, we'll hit the road and get her back to where we need to be!"
