Chapter 149: Indiscriminate
In the backyard of the county government, in the hall where Mrs. Bai Gu was, she showed an unhappy expression when she heard the report from County Magistrate Yu.
"Hmph, useless thing. You can't even deal with a kid. You guys go and capture that girl. You can use her to heal my wounds." Madam Bai Gu said gritting her teeth. Her injuries could be said to be caused by Zhou An. Only by sucking his sister's flesh and blood could she feel relieved.
"Yes." The two maids beside Madam Bai Gu responded and turned into ghost mist and flew away.
"Madam, that young man is also nearby. According to the spy's description, he is most likely Emperor Qianyuan. I'm afraid your men..." County Magistrate Yu was a little flustered. After all, the emperor came in person, and how could a mere county magistrate like him dare to confront the current Emperor Qianyuan head-on?
"It's really him! Miro must have come as well. You must immediately send all the people from those sects to ambush them, no matter what the cost. Go quickly. We have raised them for nearly two hundred years, it's time to use them." Madam Bai Gu said hastily.
County Magistrate Yu hesitated, but seeing Madam Bai Gu's expression, he could only respond and retreat.
Mrs. White Bone immediately used her escape technique and turned into a puff of white smoke and flew away.
Zhou Lingsha was interrogating four surrendered monks, asking them about the Yu family.
A bloody shadow appeared beside Zhou An, and Mi Luo's voice was heard: "Master, Madam Bai Gu has taken action, I will follow her now."
"Well, be careful. If you find those two people, report them first. This time we must find out the identities of those two people who have achieved great perfection in the innate realm." After Zhou An finished speaking, the blood shadow around him disappeared.
Suddenly, the jade talismans on Zhou Lingsha and the purple-clothed guards gave out warnings, and one of the emerald-clothed guards immediately said, "Commander-in-chief, this is Commander Xia Yu's signal for help."
"You keep a close eye on these four people. I'll go take a look." Zhou Lingsha frowned and shouted, "Brother, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, knife wings appeared behind Zhou Lingsha and flew towards the city.
Zhou An also followed beside him, controlling the sword light.
Although it was outside the city, it only took them two or three seconds to fly there.
The two landed in the square in front of the county government and saw that the team led by Xia Yu was besieged by more than 500 people, more than 30 of whom were cultivators, but the highest level was only the third level of innateness.
Zhou Lingsha flew to the rooftop nearby and was surprised to see this situation. "There are several small sects that have nothing to do with the Yu family, why are you helping them? And there are also the captain's men and the soul-suppressing masters? Is the problem in Dingyang County so big?"
Zhou An also frowned. The captain was an officer of Dingyang County, in charge of the local army of Dingyang County, while the county magistrate was in charge of the city. If the two sides united, the common people here would probably have no place to speak out even if they were right.
What surprised Zhou An the most was the Soul Suppression Master. Now the Soul Suppression Master has set up branches in county towns across the country and has gathered a large number of independent practitioners. They are not subject to the control of any officials. If County Governor Yu can reach out to the Soul Suppression Master, then the problem will be really big.
With so many people besieging them, Xia Yu and others couldn't resist.
Zhou Lingsha was about to go to support, but Zhou An stopped her and sent a message to Xia Yu and others.
"Brother, if we don't hurry up, they will be in danger." Zhou Lingsha said anxiously.
"See if these people are really working for the Yu family." Zhou An frowned and looked down.
After Xia Yu and the others received Zhou An's message, they all tore off their outer clothes, revealing the Jinyiwei uniforms underneath, and took out their waist badges and shouted, "We are Jinyiwei, and we have been ordered to investigate the Yu family. How dare you be an accomplice!"
Seeing the Jinyiwei, the attackers were dumbfounded, and suddenly the whole place fell silent.
At this time, a casual cultivator shouted, "Impersonating a Jinyiwei is a serious crime. Let's catch him and ask for a reward from the Jinyiwei."
"Shangding City is stable and prosperous. How could the Jinyiwei come here? They must be pretending to be someone else. Let's capture these people alive and claim the reward."
A few people took the lead in shouting, and soon more people followed suit.
However, more than half of the people are still uncertain and have retreated, unwilling to get involved in such muddy water. If they really attack the Jinyiwei and mobilize all of them, no one here will be able to withstand it.
Moreover, Qianyuan is no longer what it used to be. If they want to survive in Qianzhou and offend the imperial court, it will be useless to run away, especially if the royal palace intervenes, then it will be difficult for them to even run away.
At this time, County Magistrate Yu came over and everyone made way for him. County Magistrate Yu glanced at the few people. He recognized Xia Yu, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards made him remember them all.
He said with a disdainful look on his face: "Jinyiwei! Humph, why don't I remember you guys? I am the governor of Dingyang County, which Jinyiwei doesn't recognize me? You are a bunch of rebels, dare to pretend to be Jinyiwei, arrest them, and kill those who resist without mercy."
A county magistrate confirmed that most of the people here attacked again, and all kinds of strange spells emerged, as well as magic weapons that had never been seen before. These were all refined by independent cultivators themselves, and almost all of them were low-grade magic weapons. It was even a stretch to call some of them magic weapons.
Xia Yu took the lead and slapped the metal belt around his waist. The silver fish-scale metal pieces on the belt flew out and formed a shield to block in front of him. Flying swords, flying balls, poison needles, etc. hit it and sparks exploded.
The other Jinyiwei all stood together with their backs, released their fish-scale shields, and each shield stacked on top of each other, automatically changing into a fish-scale wall.
Then the people inside took out the metal chains hanging from their waists and swung them out at the same time. The chains became longer, and the heads turned into iron claws, leaping over the fish-scale shield wall and rushing towards the people outside.
A few people who were unable to dodge were caught by the iron claws and then forcibly pulled into the fish-scale shield wall. They heard screams, which soon died down.
At this time, a middle-aged man jumped up, slapped out flames with his hands, and saw a huge flaming palm rushing towards him.
The fish-scale shield wall was hit and a wave of fire exploded, just like being hit by a rocket. This part of the fish-scale shield wall exploded, and the Jinyiwei behind the shield was knocked to the ground, and the fish-scale silver flakes scattered, revealing the people inside.
The man slapped out again, and a second flaming palm rushed over. Xia Yu blocked it and chopped down with the Soul-Devouring Sword in both hands.
The more than ten-meter-long sword energy and the flaming palm collided with each other, and both exploded at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen fireballs flew over. Xia Yu shook his shoulders, and dozens of ghost heads flew out and swallowed the fireballs.
This magic weapon was given to him by Zhou Lingsha. Many people were executed in the Jinyiwei prison every day, and many evil souls were collected. After he refined it, its power became much stronger.
Other monks took the opportunity to release various types of flying swords to attack Xia Yu. Several Jinyiwei guards around him had leather bags hanging on their backs and threw out short knives. A total of hundreds of short knives blocked all the flying swords.
The Jinyiwei who was knocked to the ground by the flaming palm at the beginning immediately got up, and with his hands he made some magic gestures, and the scattered silver pieces of fish scales flew back and formed into a fish scale shield wall again.
Then another pair of iron claws flew out and grabbed a few people again.
"Uncle-master, this is indeed the common magic weapon of the Imperial Guards. These people must be Imperial Guards." said a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl watching nearby.
"Well, something big is going to happen in Dingyang County. Yu'er, let's leave to avoid being implicated. If we are caught by the Jinyiwei at this time, we will have no way to defend ourselves." The gray-haired old man next to him was about to pull him away.
The girl named Yu'er said, "Uncle Master, didn't you say you wanted to avenge Master? You could report to the Jinyiwei. We don't usually see them, so now is the best opportunity."
"Yu'er! Don't make trouble. These people have committed a serious crime by besieging the Jinyiwei. If you rush in without thinking, you will be considered a traitor and it will be even harder to clear yourself up. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go." The old man reached out to pull him.
As a result, Yu'er actually jumped above the Jinyiwei, and immediately an iron claw rushed towards her and grabbed her ankle.
"Brother Jinyiwei, I'm here to help you." Yu'er shouted, holding her head with her hands.
Who would believe at this time that they would not keep anyone inside the fish scale shield formation? The fish scale shield formation is very effective to the outside, but the most feared thing is an attack from the inside.
The old man was so angry that his eyes were wide open, but he couldn't care less at this time. He jumped up and released a pair of swords to attack the people outside.
The old man suddenly attacked, catching the besieging monks off guard. Four of them were killed directly, and then he shouted loudly: "Master Jinyiwei, please spare her life. She really is helping you."
In order to make his position clear, the old man directly killed the others. Xia Yu frowned and shook his iron claws. Yu'er, who was originally being pulled into the fish scale shield formation, was thrown back to the old man when he reached the entrance.
"Masters of the Imperial Guards, let me help you deal with these rebels." Yu'er laughed, forming seals with his hands, and 81 silver feathers flew out of his waist bag and flew towards the monks.
As a result, he was knocked down by a fat man with a palm-leaf fan that had grown larger.
The two people watching on the rooftop nearby were surprised that such a person would suddenly appear. Zhou An smiled and said, "A little girl in the post-natal realm actually dared to take such a big risk. She is comparable to you. If it weren't for the protection of the old man, this girl would have died."
"Humph, she wasn't reckless, but she knew the old man would help her. From the looks of it, she must have something to ask of us. Now we can see that most of the people around are bewitched and not really rebelling. Those idiots in the Soul-Calming Division can't even tell the real Jinyiwei from the fake ones. I'll teach these blind guys a lesson when I get back."
Zhou Lingsha snorted and immediately leaped out, with the blade wings behind her spreading out, and she flew over the Jinyiwei's fish-scale shield formation. 365 flying knives scattered in all directions, and the surrounding magic weapons, which were only low-grade, were directly cut off.
With just one strike, most of the magic weapons of the besieged cultivators were destroyed and many were injured.
"You rascals from the Soul-Calming Division, get ready to accept my wrath." Zhou Lingsha yelled with a bit of arrogance.
You may not recognize the other members of the Jinyiwei, but Zhou Lingsha's blade wings are well-known throughout the country. After all, the title of commander-in-chief is still very famous. Her famous treasure is the blade wings made up of 365 flying blades of all kinds of monsters.
As soon as she appeared, everyone around her was dumbfounded. Now they understood that this time they were really fighting with the Jinyiwei, and the commander-in-chief and little princess came in person, which made these people start to panic.
