On the Wujiang River, a huge ship was parked in the middle of the river. Dozens of White Lotus Sect members looked at the large number of figures that suddenly appeared around them with horror.
They all had pale faces, disheveled hair and wore white robes, looking particularly strange.
In order to seize the vitality of the living, the souls of the people of Antong County directly launched an attack. The White Lotus Sect members were all martial artists and were not so easy to deal with. A battle broke out on the deck in an instant.
The souls of the people of Antong County have been nurtured by the old locust tree for a long time. Their power cannot be underestimated. Every claw and every grab can cause quite a stir.
A White Lotus member was accidentally grabbed by the neck by a figure, and his throat could be heard cracking.
"Ugh!" As the figure put his face in front of the White Lotus Sect member's face and took a deep breath, wisps of white air floated out from the man's seven orifices and all fell into the figure's mouth.
The White Lotus followers whose vitality was sucked away became increasingly listless, and their energy and blood gradually weakened.
Suddenly, a scorching breath came down from the sky, and many people who had no time to react were instantly annihilated by this breath.
"You should have died long ago. Anyway, you will no longer exist in this world at dawn. Why not let me send you off?" Qin Yuesheng exploded the vital energy in his body, and the pure Yuan Yang power spread out instantly. Any ghosts touched by the Yuan Yang power shattered and dissipated in the air.
"Holy Envoy!"
Seeing Qin Yuesheng's appearance, the White Lotus apostles present immediately found their backbone, and couldn't help but cheer up and continue to fight with those figures.
Qin Yuesheng removed the throat restraint from his neck and immediately roared. Under the soul-shaking sound waves of the roar, the ghosts disappeared one after another. In a short while, one third of the ghosts died at the hands of Qin Yuesheng. The remaining ghosts saw that they were no match for Qin Yuesheng, so they turned around and ran away, but they had no intention of risking their lives to complete the task assigned to them by the old locust tree.
After all the figures left, the White Lotus Sect members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Qin Yuesheng hadn't arrived in time, they would probably not have escaped the clutches tonight.
"Sail the boat eastward along the branch of the Wujiang River." Qin Yuesheng gave the order and walked into the cabin.
The matter in Antong County has been investigated clearly. Next, Qin Yuesheng only needs to write down the cause of death of the six Seven-Star Supervisor officials and the situation of the old locust tree on paper and send it to Chang'an to report.
However, the world is in chaos right now, and Qin Yuesheng is not sure whether Chang'an has the time to deal with these local anomalies.
…
Yangzhou Prefecture.
Yuwen Sanzui and his four fellow subordinates were sitting in the lobby of the inn eating. They were staying in Yangzhou Prefecture for a few days to look for the person who could carry the dragon energy, but no one could have expected that the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, Liu Xian, would suddenly rebel.
On the day Liu Xian rebelled, he directly blocked the entire city, allowing no one to enter or leave. This trapped Yuwen Sanzui and his group in the city.
As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Yuwen Sanzui naturally could not turn a blind eye to the rebellion. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Since Liu Xian was rebelling, as long as he was killed, the rebels in Yangzhou Prefecture would be leaderless and would naturally be defeated without a fight.
However, the idea is good, but the reality is often not as expected.
That night, Yuwen Sanzui sneaked into the governor's mansion and intended to assassinate Liu Xian. However, who would have thought that there were three masters of the sixth level of internal strength hiding in the governor's mansion to protect Liu Xian. As a result, Yuwen Sanzui not only failed to succeed that night, but also suffered serious internal injuries. After escaping back to the inn, he could only stay indoors to recuperate.
"Since the master is injured, we have to wait if we want to leave Yangzhou Prefecture. As long as Liu Xian doesn't open Yangzhou Prefecture, we can't leave." The one-eyed young man Wu Fan said in a low voice while holding a bowl of noodles.
He Rui and Huang Tianhu, who were sitting next to him, kept silent. At this moment, Yangzhou Prefecture was full of Liu Xian's private army and spies. Walls have ears, and there was no guarantee that any of their words would be overheard and cause trouble.
Moreover, ever since Yuwen Sanzui sneaked into the governor's residence at night and attacked Liu Xian, the searches in Yangzhou Prefecture have become more severe day by day. Basically, as long as you dare to make sneaky movements or expressions on the street, you are in danger of being captured by a group of people who appear out of nowhere and taken to the boss.
Under such circumstances, Yuwen Sanzui and his group have been staying in the inn for many days and dare not go out.
Even though they are very powerful, Liu Xian in Yangzhou Prefecture also has many more experts. If a real fight breaks out, they will not get any advantage.
"Mr. Wang, if there is no one to carry out transportation in Yangzhou Prefecture, after Lord Yuwen recovers from his injuries, we will have to think about how to leave Yangzhou Prefecture." Huang Tianhu said to Wang Chengfeng.
"Everyone, I am really ashamed." Wang Chengfeng said apologetically.
That day, his eyes were injured by Qin Yuesheng's life star and have not recovered yet, so his efficiency in finding people has inevitably dropped significantly. At the moment, this person's eyes are still bloodshot and he looks quite tired.
Rumble!
At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside the inn. It turned out to be the sound of hundreds of people running in unison on the street. Wang Chengfeng and others immediately turned their heads and looked outside. They saw an army in armor walking past the inn. The murderous aura of those soldiers was so severe that ordinary people would be frightened and tremble with fear, and their hands and feet would be out of control if they approached them.
Huang Tianhu's eyes flashed with surprise. "What an elite team! Liu Xian is truly remarkable. He's able to train his soldiers to such a high level."
"If he had been given a few more years to develop, it's hard to say whether he could have overthrown the imperial court. If his secret intention to rebel had not been exposed in advance, he would probably have become a major enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future." He Rui responded in a low voice.
