Rumble!
A thunderclap startled Wang Fusheng, the prefect of Tianshan County, awake.
He glanced at his side; the woman's bare back, exposed to the air, was like a flawless white jade.
But at this moment, he had no interest in playing with it.
After putting on his clothes, Wang Fusheng went to the window.
As the heavy rain swept through, pedestrians quickened their pace on the long street.
The scattered lights, now obscured by the rain, were no longer bright.
Just then, a rider came galloping downstairs.
Wang Fusheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the guards downstairs leading that person straight into the courtyard.
When the figure entered the courtyard and walked downstairs, Wang Fusheng finally recognized the person.
Why did Jiang Shulin come back at this time?
Thump!
Knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
"Lord Wang, Master Jiang has something important to report!"
"Let him in!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the guard opened the door, Jiang Shoulin rushed in impatiently.
For a day and a night, without sleep or rest.
He rushed back to the county seat.
At this moment, he was far from being a refined gentleman; he was utterly disheveled.
His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"master!"
"Li Fan is in Shannan County."
Are you sure?
Wang Fusheng rushed forward, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"Master, it must be him..."
"At noon on the 27th, he wiped out Feng Huo Village..."
"Let He Qiang go and give him time to gather his men."
"Then one man, with a single sword, killed them all."
"He went to the city without even changing his name..."
We finally found Li Fan!
"Someone, prepare the carriage, let's go back to the manor!"
Wang Fusheng patted Jiang Shoulin on the shoulder, a relieved smile on his face: "Shoulin, take a good rest for a few days."
"Once I've recovered my strength, I'll be ready to take up my post in Shannan County!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Jiang Shoulin knelt down with a thud, his pale face unable to hide his joy.
It was all worth it!
Not long after Wang Fusheng left, a black bird flew out of the attic.
......
The city of Tianguang, the Zhenwu Division office.
Yan Mingshu stretched.
He's been exhausted these past few days.
Who would have thought that so many martial artists would be drawn out by the explosion?
Even among ninth-rank martial artists, three have come.
However, these three ninth-rank martial artists were all well-known wandering martial artists in Nanzhou.
He challenged Li Fan simply to gain fame.
So after Yan Mingshu gave Li Fan the right to challenge him, the three of them didn't cause any trouble.
"Lord Yan, an urgent report from Shannan County!"
Not long after, Liu Nanjun hurriedly walked in from outside.
After reading the letter, Yan Mingshu stared blankly.
My brother Fan, you can't fish like that!
You went on a killing spree in Shannan County, even a fool would know you were there.
How am I supposed to draw fire for you now?
well!
Never mind, let's leave it at that!
"Nan Jun, inform Lord Wu, Lord Yuan, and Patriarch Hai..."
"Come to Zhenwusi for barbecue tonight!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
"This Li Fan is always so unpredictable!"
In the inn, Wang Bao left the secret letter.
He thought Li Fan would recuperate in Tianguang County.
As a result, he left.
Not only did they leave, but they did so in such a high-profile manner.
With such a commotion, I wonder if we can protect him!
......
In Tianguang County, on the long street, three riders rode side by side.
The man in the middle had bright, piercing eyes. He wore a tight black outfit, and his bare arms were muscular and exposed. He carried a broadsword on his back.
The person on the left, dressed in white like an immortal, with a jade belt around his waist, had a faint smile on his face.
The person on the right is dressed in a blue robe, with sharp features, narrowed eyes, and a cold, piercing gaze.
If there were someone familiar with the martial arts world of Nanzhou, they would definitely recognize the three of them.
Wu Feng, the twenty-eighth on the Fish and Dragon List; Yue Bufan, the thirty-first on the Fish and Dragon List; and Chen Dongsheng, the thirty-second on the Fish and Dragon List.
"Brother Wu, Brother Chen, could you let me go first this time?"
Just as the three were about to arrive at the Zhenwu Division office in Tianguang County, Yue Bufan suddenly spoke.
"Yue Bufan, are you still asleep? Why did you attack first?"
Chen Dongsheng raised an eyebrow: "I'm ranked the lowest, so I'll go first!"
"Okay, I have no objection!"
After Yue Bufan finished speaking, Chen Dongsheng was slightly taken aback.
Why did you agree so readily?
Why does something always feel off?
The two exchanged questions and answers, but Wu Feng did not participate. He looked at the Zhenwu Division, his fighting spirit surging within him.
Li Fan, the Overlord Blade, here I come!
I will win this battle.
......
"The Zhenwu Division headquarters is ahead. Those who come here, stop!"
Upon seeing the three riders approaching, the guards immediately stepped forward.
"roll!"
Yue Bufan raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike.
As the sword energy was unleashed, the gate of the Zhenwu Division shattered into pieces.
The stationed warriors were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Yue Bufan ignored them, his true energy surged, and sword energy continuously poured out.
......
"A ninth-rank Divine Transformation cultivator, this visitor is ill-intentioned!"
Qin Yong appeared in the attic.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
Yan Mingshu got up and walked outside.
......
"Lord Yan, be careful. These three people come from the three top powers in the state capital."
"From left to right: Wu Feng, Yue Bufan, and Chen Dongsheng!"
Upon arriving at the door, Qin Yong recognized the three people.
Yue Bufan and his two companions naturally recognized Qin Yong as well.
"Commander Qin, we meet again. What a coincidence!"
Yue Bufan smiled and looked at Qin Yong, but Qin Yong did not respond.
The three top powers in Nanzhou were never on good terms with the Zhenwu Division.
If given the chance, he wouldn't mind killing Yue Bufan.
"I am Yan Mingshu, the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Division of Tianguang County. May I ask what the three of you mean by this?"
"Get Li Fan out here. You have no right to speak here!"
"The three of you, I can grant you the qualifications to challenge Alliance Leader Li, but if you wish to formally challenge him, you will need to wait..."
"Who do you think you are, daring to make us wait!"
Yue Bufan snorted coldly, and then without hesitation, he drew his sword and stabbed at Yan Mingshu.
Clang!
Qin Yong drew his sword and parried the flashing blade.
The two separated as soon as they clashed, their sword light and blade energy scattering in all directions.
The ground was left with cracks.
"Let's work together and force Li Fan out!"
As soon as Yue Bufan finished speaking, Wu Feng and Chen Dongsheng attacked simultaneously.
Rumble!
The collision of their true energies produced a deafening explosion.
Qin Yong was outnumbered three to one and quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
"Everyone, stand back!"
Upon seeing this, Yan Mingshu immediately organized his men to retreat.
Just then, Yue Bufan broke away from the battle and came to his side.
"Li Fan, get out here!"
"Otherwise, I'll cripple Yan Mingshu!"
As he spoke, the qi suppressed Yan Mingshu, rendering him unable to move.
"How dare you!"
"Save Mr. Yan!"
"Let's fight him!"
The retreating warriors all stopped.
Just as they were about to step forward, Yan Mingshu spoke again: "Everyone, step back! No one is allowed to come forward!"
A ninth-rank deity can be killed by piling up human lives, unless the target is a monster like Li Fan.
If the conditions are right, Yan Mingshu will give the order without hesitation.
But we don't have that right now. Rather than sending people to their deaths, we should preserve our strength.
"Li Fan is not at the Zhenwu Division!"
Do you think you're very smart?
Yue Bufan glanced at Yan Mingshu with disdain, his long sword flashing across the room.
The sharp sword energy severed Yan Mingshu's tendons.
A sharp pain shot through Yan Mingshu, and his pupils constricted sharply.
He looked at Yue Bufan and continued, "Li Fanzhen isn't here!"
"In my arms..."
Before he could finish reading the secret letter, Yue Bufan's sword fell again.
This time, it's the Achilles tendon.
"hehe!"
Yue Bufan snorted coldly and looked at Yan Mingshu.
"I'll laugh at your mother!"
"Li Fan left on September 24th!"
"He went on a killing spree in Shannan County just two days ago!"
Yan Mingshu roared, "You idiot, go and find out for yourself!"
"Hmph, for your insolence, I'll cripple your cultivation!"
Yue Bufan pierced Yan Mingshu's abdomen with his sword, and his true energy surged out, shattering Yan's dantian.
He then sheathed his sword, flipped over, and went up to the door. Wu Feng and Chen Dongsheng did not linger either, and retreated at the same time.
"Commander Qin, ignore them!"
Just as Qin Yong was about to give chase, Yan Mingshu stopped him.
After saying that, Yan Mingshu fainted.
......
Late at night, at the Zhenwu Division residence.
A campfire burned, Yan Mingshu sat in a wheelchair, and Wu Qifan stood behind him.
Yuan Muzhi, the prefect of Tianguang County, Hai Wulang, the head of the Hai family, Wang Tongzun, the head of the Wang family, Jin Chenxiao, the sect leader of the Jinding Sect, and Yan Shoujin, the head of the Bafang Manor, were all present.
But no one sat down!
They received the news that Yan Mingshu had been dismissed.
But tonight's banquet has not been canceled.
Yan Mingshu sat calmly in his wheelchair, seemingly unconcerned about his crippled cultivation.
As a scholar, I only need to use my brain.
Anyway, with Li Fan around, I don't need to do anything myself.
"Please don't stand, everyone, sit down and let's talk!"
"Today, I received a message."
"Leader Li destroyed several major forces in Shannan County."
"Next, more forces will be wiped out!"
"The reason I notified you to come here is to prepare to mobilize manpower to take over the territory he has conquered."
"You can take 30% of all the profits!"
