491 One Gas Alliance
Lin Yi said in a low voice, "My lord, we shall proceed ahead. We are already accustomed to traveling at night."
He nodded slightly and said softly, "Safety first. Gather information about the situation inside and outside Changzhou city. As for the One Qi Alliance, you just wait on the outskirts."
"Yes, Master."
Inside the military camp tent, Yun Heiyi, Yun Baiyi, Yun Su, Yun Qing, and Jingzhai stood quietly.
He Chen nodded slightly and said softly, "Black-clad and White-clad Generals, you two follow behind."
Looking at Yun Su and the others, he said softly, "I'll leave this place to you."
Jingzhai spoke softly, and He Chen shook his head gently.
Outside the main tent, three hundred and sixty-sixth-rank soldiers, their blood energy soaring to the sky, their dense aura like a blacksmith's furnace, as scorching as a raging fire. The surrounding air seemed to be baked by this powerful aura, as if one were inside a furnace.
The breastplate, made entirely of natural dragon scales, exudes an aura that soars to the heavens.
At the front of the procession stood two newly crowned Martial Kings, Mu Shanlong and Gu Shanqing, one young and the other venerable. Their eyes held reverence as they silently awaited their son-in-law's command.
As the group approached the main tent, they were immediately enveloped in a chilling atmosphere, as if in a furnace. Around the tent, torches blazed, casting a cold light that made it seem like daytime.
With an imposing aura that seemed to soar to the heavens, he nodded slightly and said in a clear voice, "Our army marches on Changzhou, the Alliance of One Qi. All of you, let us go together."
"Together!" "Together!" The unified voices echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
He glanced back at Yun Qing and the other women, and nodded slightly. With light steps, he moved with the speed of the wind, each step covering a thousand miles. He vanished from sight in an instant.
Yun Su stood silently, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.
Yun, dressed in black, bowed and said, "Miss, General, Bai Yi will stay. Zhang Dazhuang, Mu Shanlong, and Gu Shanqing will accompany me."
Yun Baiyi nodded silently, longing to go, but this place needed someone to guard it.
The army formation rose, the marching formation unfolded, as if they had transformed into a land bird, and swiftly departed.
It's almost midnight.
Inside the Yi Qi Alliance, torches were transparent and crackled fiercely, and lanterns were lit, making it as bright as day.
In the warm room, handsome men and beautiful women mingled, and all sorts of decadent music drifted out. It was as if they were indulging in debauchery in broad daylight.
A group of young men and women were escorted to various rooms, and then, a series of shrill cries were heard.
The black-clad broker, watching from afar, felt the silver in his pocket, his heart filled with joy. "Another ten taels of silver! What a lucrative profit! I bought three for five taels each, and now I've easily made ten. It's practically a risk-free business!"
They cautiously glanced at the groups of fellow traders around them, wary of each other. They were all in the business, and none of them were ruthless or heartless. Kind people were probably already in the dark somewhere.
Moreover, these colleagues often change members, and who knows if they've retired from the business?
In Changzhou City, there is the Huai family, a large clan with over two hundred elders. They live a secluded life, and no one except the patriarch is allowed to enter their large mansion, which covers more than ten acres. Even the patriarch can only enter once every few years by summons.
Moreover, he never reveals a single detail about his cultivation level of Martial King to outsiders; he is the pillar of the Huai family.
However, every so often, the Huai family's old residence would seek out a batch of servants and maids, paying five taels of silver per servant, with room and board provided, and plenty of rice and flour. This attracted many who couldn't afford to support themselves to be sent in.
I've only ever seen people go in, never come out. But the old house is so big, it could probably support more people.
Lin Yi and his group watched from afar, and said softly, "The Huai family's patriarch is said to be over two hundred years old, and his time should have come. But I've heard that he's still alive, and the maids he recruited have never come."
The Demon King's Palace, the Serpent Demon King—it seems he also cultivates this method to seek immortality. He truly harms countless people.
Ren Pingsheng's eyes turned slightly cold, filled with murderous intent. He nodded slightly. "The Huai family occupies half of Changzhou's fertile land, and the prefect is also a member of the Huai family. They impose various miscellaneous taxes, layer upon layer. They truly deserve to die."
Suddenly, a deafening explosion resounded throughout Changzhou Prefecture. The sound was deafening, as if it came from thunder in the heavens, shaking everyone to their core.
Immediately afterwards, a blade of energy descended from the sky, as brilliant as a shooting star, piercing the night sky with dazzling brilliance.
The blade's aura carried an incomparably sharp and powerful force, as if it came from outer space, accompanied by roaring thunder and flames. Its light illuminated the entire night sky of Changzhou Prefecture, making it impossible to look directly at.
Under the light, everything around the Qi Alliance appeared so small and insignificant.
The powerful impact caused the air to explode with a deafening roar.
Its immense power makes even the mountains bow down; its unparalleled momentum changes the very color of heaven and earth.
There, the massive Yi Qi Alliance mountain was cut in half. The huge gash resembled an insurmountable chasm, cleaving the entire mountain in two.
Several figures soared into the sky.
Lin Yi and Ren Pingsheng exchanged a glance and whispered, "The lord has arrived, let's go." They quickly flew away, and the other demon slayers followed closely behind.
The towering mansion of the Qi Alliance was shattered by the shock. Female disciples quickly wrapped themselves in their clothes, while male disciples flew away, their faces and foreheads covered in scales, making them look extremely eerie.
"Who dares to cause trouble at the Qi Alliance?" the Qi Alliance leader roared angrily.
There was no reply whatsoever.
He Chen remained silent. The former Martial King was like a mountain, but now, with a single slash, he cut through the sky, his cold light dazzling, as fast as lightning, and in an instant, he severed a person's head.
Blood splattered, heads flew into the air, and then fell freely. Blood rained down.
On the square of the Qi Alliance, Elder Rong, who was gathering his disciples, was disheveled, with his belt tied crookedly.
The disciple before him was also disheveled, half-covered, which made Elder Rong's heart flutter, and he couldn't wait to investigate himself.
He shouted into his voice, "Assemble immediately! Anyone who dares to cause trouble for my One Qi Alliance will be killed!"
Suddenly, with a loud thud, something crashed heavily to the ground. A head slammed down in front of Elder Rong, followed by another series of thunderous crashes.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze. A deafening roar shook the ground violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
It shattered into pieces, juices splattering everywhere. The red liquid mixed with the mud, splashing across the square like a red rain, covering the entire square, and it even tasted a little salty.
Elder Rong stared in disbelief at the sudden turn of events, seemingly still reeling from the shock. An indescribable stench of blood sent chills down his spine.
In a shocking moment, a man gracefully walked by, while numerous female disciples, their faces covered in increasingly larger scales that spread across their entire bodies, their eyes bloodshot, eager to rush back to their rooms and immediately consummate their marriages.
The male disciple's eyes were cold and fierce, as if he wanted to make this person disappear from the world immediately.
