601 Unauthorized Action

The further one travels from the border town's coverage area, the more abruptly the surrounding environment changes. The official road is deserted, and in the distance, one can vaguely see the faint glow of a temple.

Yun Heiyi's eyes were sharp, but he ignored them. His army marched swiftly, their blood and energy surging, causing even the surrounding cold air to retreat.

As night deepened in Qianzhou, the soldiers, though able to rest briefly, remained tense and solemn. Inside and outside the camp, the defenses were tight, every soldier standing ready, their eyes revealing determination and resolve.

The soldiers, resting, cleaned the blood off their bodies, tidied their weapons, and lay on their simple beds, but they held their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to face any enemy attack at any moment.

After this battle, the members of the Demon Slayer Division who needed to stay behind temporarily did not rest at all, nor did they feel tired.

Piles of silver, chests of gold, and property deeds dazzled the eye, yet a chill ran through the heart. An invisible threat arose from both near and far.

They quickly organized the pre-selected personnel in the city and began the arduous task of maintaining order throughout Qianzhou.

The people they were looking for had all been secretly investigated beforehand, so their roles were generally well-defined.

Some people are responsible for patrolling the streets to ensure that no evil spirits take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Some people went to the market streets to maintain order and prevent anyone from having evil intentions, which could lead to looting or thieves due to the chaos.

Others went deep into the homes of the people to reassure them, answer their questions, and deliver accurate information.

They took turns in an orderly fashion throughout the city, shouting, "The Demon Slayer Bureau has already executed the evil thieves in the city, eradicated the brothels, gambling dens, and gangs. From now on, everyone will only need to pay 40% tax, and nothing else."

The specifics are the same as in Wanzhou and Huangtu County; you'll see them tomorrow.

Wanzhou, Huangtu County, is now synonymous with a paradise on earth, a place that people from the surrounding cities yearn for.

With 30% tax revenue, children going to school, and safety both inside and outside the city, the people of Qianzhou at the bottom of society yearn for and dream of these things.

In less than a year, Huangtu County has become known to almost everyone in the surrounding area, and some people who have relatives in Huangtu County are trying to find a way to go there.

There, all sorts of news came in, and life there was about working at sunrise and resting at sunset, living a peaceful and idyllic life.

Surrounded by green mountains and flowing waters, it nurtures endless hope.

Upon hearing that the same rules applied in Huangtu County, the people of the city were immediately relieved. In disbelief, they couldn't help but secretly inquire about the news.

Inside the inner city, the sweeping continued. Those who were caught had lifeless eyes, were trembling and begging for mercy on their knees.

At night, at home, Lin Xiaomao was terrified when he suddenly saw the people from the Demon Slayer Division appear above him.

He was overjoyed to learn that he had been selected as the leader of the security patrol squad.

It was as if the whole world was filled with joy and anticipation.

They arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry; all I heard was, "Find a few decent helpers first, and we'll assess them later."

So Lin Xiaomao quickly tidied his clothes and changed into new shoes.

Beside him, his younger sister looked at her brother with adoration, exclaiming in disbelief, "Brother, you've become an official! My brother is the best!"

Seeing her younger sister's bright eyes and her parents' surprised looks, she felt both happy and astonished.

I quickly went out and chose several nice-natured people from the neighborhood as my companions.

These people were so happy when they learned they had been selected that they were practically beside themselves with joy, as if their whole family was filled with happiness and surprise.

The young and strong men, as well as the steady middle-aged men, all lacked any cultivation.

In an instant, I was worried about the major changes in Qianzhou and didn't know what would happen next, whether it would be good or worse.

Being suddenly approached and offered a government position is like a windfall!

Some were so moved that tears streamed down their faces. The recognition of their abilities, efforts, and achievements brought them immense joy and satisfaction in an instant.

Put on a new set of clothes, the kind of new clothes you only wear during festivals like Chinese New Year.

The person, their face flushed with emotion, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

These are tears of joy, truly tears of joy!

His wife solemnly and hurriedly changed her clothes and new shoes, tidying herself up meticulously. She whispered caringly in his ear, "Please be careful tonight, my husband. The children and I are waiting for you to come home."

"No need, you should get some rest. You definitely won't be back tonight; you'll be busy all night." He softly refused his wife and children's request to wait, straightened his clothes, and hurried off to meet them.

Today, as I step out the door, I am no ordinary person!

With lofty aspirations and confidence, our pursuit of ideals begins today.

At this moment, as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed on someone, they threw themselves wholeheartedly into everything they did, giving it their all, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

Whether it was putting out fires, clearing obstacles, or preparing meals for the next day, they did everything in an orderly and meticulous manner.

The power of the spirit is truly formidable!

As dawn broke, Yun Heiyi and his group finally arrived outside Qianzhou City. In the darkness, the group's aura surged to the heavens, like a furnace for forging iron, intimidating ghosts and demons, like a black torrent, its momentum overwhelming and its malevolent energy soaring to the sky.

Although they were traveling at night, the soldiers who had recovered in the border town during this period not only looked better, but also improved their skills considerably.

Even now, they are still full of energy, weapons in hand, ready to charge into battle at any moment.

"Greetings, General!" The scout rushed over and bowed to Yun Heiyi.

Yun Heiyi nodded with a smile and asked, "Where are General Baiyi and the others?"

The scout respectfully replied, "Reporting to the general, the White-Clad General and his men have already gone ahead to Yansha Prefecture, ordering us to go and meet them at dawn."

Upon hearing this, Yun Heiyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

She sighed inwardly, thinking, 'As expected, Miss thought of this as well. The one in white is probably getting a little anxious. Miss and the others may not care; they just need to consolidate Dalong Prefecture, and then they can slowly make plans later.'

But the white-clad figure is likely to be apprehended completely to prevent future trouble; there's no room for leniency.

Thinking of Bai Yi's presumptuous actions, Yun Heiyi did not object at this moment. On the contrary, he agreed with Bai Yi's actions, as if he himself would have done the same.

A ruthless glint flashed through his mind: 'Cut the weeds and wipe them out completely, sweep away the enemy's lair, drain the pond to catch all the fish!'

Knowing the style of the White-Clad General and his men, since they had already gone to Yansha Prefecture, they would surely leave behind all the enemies, including their gold, silver, land, contracts, and people.

Not one can be missing!

Look at the sky, it's almost dawn!

"Alright, then let's proceed according to plan and set off at dawn." Yun Heiyi said to the scout, while also pondering the possible situation in Yansha Prefecture.

The scouts took their orders and left, while Yun Heiyi directed the team to rest for a while.

Time is almost up, it's almost dawn!

Time passed quickly, and the roosters crowed at dawn in the city. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and it was time for the army to set off.
