Chapter 1222: The County Governor's Position is Vacant Again

"How do I use this Mountain-Suppressing Seal?" Lu Yang asked Nuba while weighing the Mountain-Suppressing Seal.

"There is a formula for matching. As long as you know the formula, you can control me..." Nüba did not dare to play any tricks and told the formula truthfully.

Lu Yang read it once, and just when he was halfway through, he saw Nüba covering her head in pain.

"My lords, can you trust me now?" After finishing the spell, Nüba asked cautiously. She still couldn't understand why her human calamity was so powerful.

Worried that Nüba was acting, Lu Yang repeated it silently in his mind again. Nüba still reacted, so Lu Yang believed what Nüba said.

"So anyone can use the incantation and the Mountain Seal to control you?"

"Holding the Mountain Seal and reciting the formula can only give me a headache, but it can't really control me. If you want to really control me, you need to drip blood to acknowledge your master and sign a contract with the Mountain Seal."

Lu Yang and the other man nodded. It didn't sound like a lie.

"Let's go and send her to the Corpse Driving Sect."

…

"Why hasn't the sect leader come back yet?" Zhao Po was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

The sect leader didn't come back all night, which was not a good sign.

Whether the sect leader dies or Hanba escapes, it will cause a huge uproar.

Three small dots in the sky were moving at high speed and were noticed by Zhao Po.

Zhao Po squinted his eyes and looked hard, and finally saw who the three small dots were.

"Senior Brother Lu! Senior Brother Meng!" Zhao Po waved his hands excitedly and shouted. He didn't recognize the ragged woman between the two of them.

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Zhao." Lu Yang landed and said with a smile. The last time they came to Huangzhou, the first disciple from a powerful force they met was Zhao Po. Zhao Po accompanied them all the way to the Corpse-Driving Sect, and they also carried out the mission together to eradicate the water ghosts. It can be said that they had a lot of fate.

At that time, both Lao Meng and I were only in the Jindan stage, and so many years have passed in a flash.

"Why are you here? I wonder what is the name of this female Taoist friend... No, now is not the time to talk about this. A drought demon has appeared and a disaster has come. The sect leader has gone to solve the problem and has not returned all night. Please go and help, two senior brothers!" Zhao Po said hurriedly. Now is not the time to reminisce.

When Nüba heard this, she became furious: "Don't talk nonsense, Hanba is very safe!"

She had to be anxious. In order to survive, she had revealed all the methods she used to control herself. If she let this kid say a few more words and make the two adults have a bad impression of her, would she still be able to survive?

"How can I talk nonsense about such a big thing? In order to understand Hanba, I read ancient books all night and consulted everyone I could!"

"How can I talk nonsense about such a big thing? I am Hanba!"

"Even if you are Hanba...wait, who are you?"

Only then did Zhao Po notice that although the clothes Nüba was wearing were tattered, they were indeed the clothes of their Corpse-Driving Sect.

"You, you are the drought demon?!"

Zhao Po stared at Lu Yang and the others with wide eyes, wanting a reasonable explanation.

Lu Yang scratched his head in annoyance. This matter was quite simple to explain. “Well, we just happened to meet her. Seeing that she was wearing clothes that belonged to the Corpse Driving Sect, we thought of handing her over to your Corpse Driving Sect for processing.”

"We can't deal with her." Zhao Po said hurriedly. Even if the sect master, who was the number one person under the Tribulation Period, had a less than 30% chance of winning against Nuba, what would they do if trouble happened in the hands of the Corpse-Driving Sect?

"Don't worry about that. We have the Mountain-Suppressing Seal." Lu Yang explained how to use the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, and Zhao Po finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then wait for the Sect Master to come back and let him take the Mountain Guarding Seal?"

"We both have things to do, why don't you take the Mountain-Suppressing Seal and drip blood to acknowledge the master? It just so happens that you are in the Void Refining Stage and lack the means to save your life."

Zhao Po had no way to persuade Lu Yang, so he was forced to accept Nüba as his master and took the mountain-suppressing seal and shed blood to acknowledge her as his master.

In order to make Lu Yang and the others feel at ease with her, Nüba called them "Master" in a tender voice.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you should practice hard, we will talk later." Lu Yang and the other man waved goodbye.

"By the way, is the Great Elder interested in Hanba? We can write him a letter and ask him to come and take a look."

Not long after Lu Yang and the other two left, Lu Baqian, worried, flew back to the sect.

He searched all night but couldn't find any trace of Hanba.

"The drought demon is so patient, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."

There was good news, too. He happened to find the descendant of the master craftsman Wang, but his cultivation was too low, so he could not refine the mountain-suppressing seal that could pose a threat to Hanba.

But now that he has the refining drawings for the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, Lu Baqian can use the drawings to unleash some of the power of the Mountain-Suppressing Seal and catch Hanba off guard.

In a battle between high-level monks, a single mistake can lead to a complete loss! "Master, you are back safely!" Zhao Po was still waiting for Lu Baqian at the sect gate, smiling happily.

"It's a pity that I didn't find Hanba...I'm going to Hanba?!"

Lu Baqian was shocked when he noticed Nüba, who was standing obediently next to Zhao Po like a doll.

Seeing that the sect leader was so scared that he was about to take action, Zhao Po quickly stepped forward to explain the whole story.

Although he was not clear about the specific cause and effect.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

"It turns out that it was Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, two of my nephews, who took action."

"Wait, so you are now the master of Nüba, and Nüba is controllable?"

"Come on, let's see who is stronger!" Lu Baqian said excitedly. He had been thinking about how to deal with Nüba all night and he couldn't let his energy go to waste.

After seeking Zhao Po's consent, Nüba readily agreed to Lu Baqian's proposal.

The two people who were in the Half-Step Tribulation Crossing stage quickly started fighting. The mountains were like rice paper and could be broken with a single poke.

Without the pressure from Lu Yang and the other two, Nüba revealed her strong and invincible side, and Lu Baqian was at a disadvantage for a while.

Nüba is even more excited than Lu Baqian. That’s right, this is the tribulation I should go through.

“It’s indeed difficult to deal with…” Lu Baqian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Nuba released her death energy field, and he had to distract himself to fight against the death energy. He was overwhelmed by Nuba’s continuous attacks.

"But there is a solution, the Mountain Seal!"

Lu Baqian used his magic to cast the Mountain Suppressing Seal, but Nuba calmly used her own seal to counter him, and the two seals exploded in the air.

“Why aren’t you scared by the Mountain Suppressing Seal?” Lu Baqian was puzzled. This shouldn’t be the case.

Nvba said faintly: "Is there anything more frightening than being blocked by a Sword Cultivator and a Pure Yang Cultivator as soon as you are born?"

…

An emergency meeting of senior officials of Huangzhou.

"How come Zhang Tongheng was captured by Mangu just when we officially announced his promotion to county magistrate?" When the top leaders of Huangzhou heard the news, their reaction was not much better than before. They were stunned for several seconds before accepting the news.

"This is too outrageous. They simply don't take our decision seriously!" Lord Song slammed the table angrily. He had been an official in the court for hundreds of years and had never encountered such an outrageous thing.

"What you're saying is that Zhang Tongheng couldn't control himself and had to accept bribes. Can you blame Man Gu?"

"If you ask me, we should thank Man Gu for finding the bad apple."

"What do you mean by finding the bad apple? He is just being reckless because he is a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"

Seeing that everyone was divided into two groups and the argument was getting more intense, Governor Lu frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Okay, let's put the matter of Man Gu aside for now. The post of Zhongshan County Governor is vacant again. Who should take the post?"

"How about choosing one from the county magistrates under Zhongshan County?"

"It won't work. The remaining people are not qualified enough to convince the public."

"So what does Lord Lu mean?"

Governor Lu stroked his chin and selected a suitable candidate in his mind, and said slowly: "We can send an official from the state to Zhongshan County as the prefect. I think Zhou Hai Gongcao is smart, can read people's expressions, and knows how to use people. He can take on this position."
