It seems that the Prefect's office is using the pretext of the Prefect's inspection tour to cover up the fact that Qiu Honglei is being escorted away.
There weren't many soldiers accompanying them, probably only about a hundred, presumably to avoid attracting attention and travel light.
After all, if the Demonic Sect is truly alarmed, and the Demonic Sect leader personally intervenes, it doesn't make much difference whether they bring a hundred or a thousand people below the Grandmaster level, unless they bring an entire army.
After looking around, I didn't see the city lord of Yi County that Sang Hong mentioned. I suppose he was probably guarding the carriage as the last line of defense.
Zuan originally thought that the men in black would make a move, but after waiting for a while, they still showed no signs of making a move.
Zuan frowned. He couldn't wait any longer, or there would be problems with the seventh-ranked gold medalist.
So he used his Wind Teleport skill to appear behind the black-robed old man.
At this moment, the old man in black robes finally realized the danger. Black mist rose from his body, and he quickly raised his palms to form a hand seal while muttering to himself.
Although he was shocked that the other party was so close to him and had not been detected, he was confident in his poisonous mist. Ordinary cultivators would turn into bones as soon as they came into contact with it.
Even those with higher cultivation levels would find it extremely troublesome to be tainted by the poison of the black mist, and it might take a year or two to get rid of it.
As long as the opponent dodges, he will have time to summon the puppet, and whether it stays or goes will be entirely in his control.
However, his eyes widened instantly, because he saw a jade-like hand pass directly through the thick black mist in front of him and touch his chest.
His last thought before losing consciousness was: "How come this person isn't afraid of my poisonous fog? Could he be at a level above the Grandmaster realm?"
Zuan frowned, picked him up with disgust and threw him aside. Although he was not afraid of this person's poison, poison often had a foul odor, and the smell on him was unbearable.
As the old man in black robes fell unconscious, the soldiers in the outposts in the valley seemed to lose their souls, collapsing to the ground like limp noodles.
A commotion arose from the escorting team below, clearly indicating that they had noticed the unusual scene.
Without hesitation, Zuan slammed his palm down on the boulder in front of him, and the tens of tons of rock crashed down with a thunderous roar.
"Enemy attack!" A piercing warning rang out from below.
Yang Sheng, the Yi Commandant at the front of the column, reacted the fastest. With a light step, he swung his long spear and charged towards the falling boulder. If it hit the boulder, the column would likely suffer heavy losses.
His long spear shot out like lightning, directly blocking the bottom edge of the boulder.
He didn't use brute force, but rather a skillful flick to the side. Even so, the impact of the massive boulder, weighing tens of tons, was immense. It was also imbued with the force of Zu An's push. Even with his full ninth-grade cultivation, his long spear bent to its limit, as if it were about to break at any moment.
"Lift!" he shouted, forcefully prying the boulder several feet to the side. Although the distance was not much, it would deviate from the target more and more as the descent continued, enough to give the others time to react.
However, after this incident, his blood and qi churned violently, and he even felt a slight pain in his meridians.
As he was adjusting his breathing and looking down to check on the situation of the troops, a soldier behind him suddenly shot into the air with the speed of a shooting star.
Yang Sheng's pupils contracted slightly. In that instant, he realized that the other party's cultivation was no less than his own, and that the timing was too ruthless, just when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated!
