Although Magistrate Zhang is as timid as a mouse, as long as he is serious, he will act very carefully and be trustworthy.
Three days ago, he received news from Yangqiu County that there were indeed traces of ghostly activities in the county.
The White Demon King secretly rushed to Yangqiu County two days ago and went to Jinshan Temple to meet Xuandu.
Last night, Chen Juncheng and Shen Junwei also secretly left the county government. Even the county guard, who usually rarely left the county, also went to Yangqiu County, which represented the county government's determination to destroy King Chujiang.
The three chief officials were absent. Before leaving, Commander Shen temporarily handed over the county government office to Li Mu.
Today is the day when King Chu Jiang takes action. The most dangerous place in Beijun is Yangqiu County, around the county. As long as nothing serious happens, the six arresters who stay in the Yamen can handle it.
Today's yin hour is Xu hour, and it is already halfway through You hour. It has long passed the Yamen time, and Li Mu has not left the Yamen yet.
He was sitting in the duty room, a little absent-minded.
Although there is no suspense about five fifth-level experts taking down the Chu Jiang King, after experiencing the incident with Master Qian Huan, Li Mu has a clearer understanding of these evil cultivators.
They regard ordinary people as nothing more than ants, and the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people are just a cold number in their eyes.
Not only are these people ruthless in their actions, but they also have cunning and insidious personalities, making them not easy to deal with.
Master Qianhuan used the cunning rabbit's three caves to treat everyone, including practitioners of the same level as Fulu Sect and Xuanzong, as pawns, hiding the truth from the sky, and the golden cicada escaped from its shell. Until now, countless people are still kept in the dark.
If King Chu Jiang's subordinates had not been tricked by the county government, he would have sacrificed the people in Yangqiu County in just half an hour, leaving no time for the county government to react.
Li Mu stood up, walked to the yard, and looked in a certain direction.
The county government is determined to kill King Chujiang this time. They will definitely wait until the Eighteen Hells Formation is about to be completed and King Chujiang cannot escape and has no way to retreat before taking action.
Xu Shi will arrive soon, and I don’t know what the situation in Yangqiu County is like...
Yangqiu County.
Magistrate Zhang bowed his hands to the three people in the county government office and said, "I have met three adults."
An old man asked: "How is the situation in the county?"
Magistrate Zhang walked to the wall, pointed to a huge map of the county, and said: "Back to the magistrate, in the past few days, I have found out some suspicious places. In these places, there have been ghost activities in the past three days. The subordinate was worried about alerting the enemy, so he did not act without permission."
"well-done."
The old man nodded appreciatively and said to Chen Juncheng: "Master Chen, please and Master Shen, please go catch the ghost generals hiding in these key locations of the formation, and try not to disturb the people."
Chen Juncheng clasped his fists and said, "I obey my orders."
Lieutenant Shen thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Sir, after capturing King Chu Jiang, can I have my subordinates kill this beast with my own hands?"
The old man nodded and said, "We will leave him to your disposal."
Commander Shen knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Thank you, sir."
The old man looked at Xuandu, the White Demon King, and a girl behind Xuandu, and said: "Please, the three of you will work with me to find King Chu Jiang..."
Not long after, four figures suddenly rose into the sky above the county government office.
The four people flew in four directions and stood on the four walls of the southeast, northwest and northwest. Four rays of mana emitted from them and converged into a point in the air, covering the entire county.
Ordinary people could not feel this breath, but the faces of the practitioners in the county changed drastically. It was as if a huge stone had been pressed in their hearts, making them unable to breathe.
A moment later, on a city wall, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "How come there isn't one?"
The four figures reunited, and the White Demon King shook his head and said, "I didn't sense it."
Xuandu shook his head and said: "The poor monk didn't notice the ghost's breath either."
The girl looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling in the sky. After closing her eyes for a moment, she opened her eyes again and said: "There is no ghost breath here, and there are no other ghosts. There is only one evil spirit..."
She pointed in a direction and said, "The evil spirit is very weak and is about to dissipate."
boom!
Somewhere in Yangqiu County, Lieutenant Shen kicked open the door of a courtyard. The courtyard was empty.
He couldn't help but curse angrily: "Damn it, no!"
The two of them had searched several places according to the marks on the map, but found nothing. The ghost generals under King Chu Jiang were not there at all.
Chen Juncheng looked solemn and said: "Let's go to the next place."
The two of them rushed to the nearest courtyard, and finally felt the breath of soul power in a certain room.
"it's here!"
A hint of joy appeared on Commander Shen's face. After breaking through the door, he saw an extremely weak figure.
The phantom was obviously a soul, and it was on the verge of dissipating. There were several blood-red iron nails on his shoulders, wrists, and legs, nailing him to the wall.
When Commander Shen saw this scene, his eyes were about to burst, and he hissed: "Ah Quan, how could it be you!"
The soul figure raised his head and said extremely weakly: "Sir, I, I was discovered. Their target is the county..."
"Oops!"
When Chen Juncheng heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he said loudly: "We have fallen into the trap of King Chu Jiang to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Xuandu and others walked in quickly from outside. After hearing this, their expressions changed drastically.
They thought they knew King Chujiang's plan in advance, and all the powerful officials from the county and government came out to gather in Yangqiu County. However, they unexpectedly fell into King Chujiang's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain...
Yangqiu County is just a cover he deliberately threw out, his real target has always been the county town!
All the powerful officials in the North County government, including the White Demon King and Xuandu, gathered in Yangqiu County. The county was empty, and no one could stop King Chu Jiang and his ghost generals.
The King of Chu Jiang had long discovered the undercover agent of the county government, but instead of exposing it, he took advantage of it and played with all of them.
He didn't even kill the undercover agent, but showed his contempt for the North County government in this way!
"Yin Xin and Ting Xin are still in the county..." The White Demon King looked extremely gloomy and said, "We must rush back immediately!"
Chen Juncheng looked pale and said: "It's too late. From here to the county town, at our speed, it will take half an hour at the fastest. By then, I'm afraid King Chu Jiang's formation has been set up..."
Half an hour was enough for King Chu Jiang to sacrifice all the people in the county and city. Even if they could rush back, it would be too late.
King Chu Jiang has planned all this. He not only wants to sacrifice the people of the county and city, but also wants their parents and officials to experience this feeling of despair.
He wanted them to watch the people of the county and city die tragically...
The old man made a quick decision, threw out a flying boat, and said: "Go back to the county town immediately, I hope they can delay it..."
On the flying boat, everyone pushed the flying boat with all their strength, and the flying boat turned into a stream of light and flew across the sky quickly.
At this moment, everyone's hearts are very heavy.
In order to destroy the King of Chu Jiang, all the masters from the county government came out, and there were only six arresters in the God Converging Realm left. How could they possibly hold off the King of Chu Jiang?
Even if they arrived, they could not break the formation and could only watch the tragedy happen outside the city.
When King Chu Jiang sacrifices the entire city, even if they join forces, they will hardly be able to match the sixth level ghosts.
If we don't go to the county town, all the people in the city will die tragically.
If they go to the county town, not only will they be unable to recover, but they may also have to catch up with themselves.
This is a dead end.
However, knowing this, no one on the flying boat flinched.
Xuandu passed a golden light for the soul that was about to dissipate. The extremely weak soul solidified. He looked sad and said guiltily: "It's all my fault. It was me who harmed the people of the county... "
Commander Shen shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, it's King Chu Jiang who is too insidious."
"Yin Xin and Ting Xin are both in the county, and the third brother is also there. I'm worried about them..." The elegance on the White Demon King's face no longer showed a fierce look, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Chujiang dog thieves, if they have If you make a mistake, I will kill you!"
Xuandu clasped his hands together and murmured: "Amitabha, Buddha bless..."
County town.
Yunyan Pavilion, teahouse.
Zhang Shan looked at the Bai Yinxin sisters, and then at Liu Hanyan sitting next to them, with extreme astonishment in his eyes.
After being shocked, he gradually came back to his senses, and his expression gradually turned into envy.
Bai Yin drank tea unintentionally, sighed, and murmured: "I wonder how Father and the others are doing over there?"
Bai Tingxin picked up a piece of pastry, fed it into her mouth, and said, "Don't worry, King Chu Jiang is nothing. There are so many powerful masters here, there must be nothing wrong."
After he finished speaking, Bai Yinxin suddenly frowned and looked towards the door of the teahouse.
A figure wearing a black cloak passed by outside the teahouse.
Bai Tingxin asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yinxin looked away and said: "It's okay, he's a powerful ghost cultivator, just don't provoke him."
Bai Tingxin stopped being curious and focused her attention on the teahouse table again. She shook her head and said, "What nonsense story? It's better to tell Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing..."
County government.
Soon we arrived at Xu Shi, and the sky had already darkened. Li Mu was pacing in the front yard of the county government office, feeling a little uneasy.
The Yin hour is approaching, and several strong men in Yangqiu County should have already taken action. I wonder what the situation is there.
With five enemies against one, it should be a battle without any suspense. As long as King Chu Jiang has not advanced, he will not even have a chance to escape.
After thinking about it this way, he felt a little relieved.
Capt. Zhao walked out of the duty room and said, "Why don't you go home yet and don't have to accompany Miss Liu?"
Li Mudao: "Just wait a little longer."
Capt. Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xu Shi has arrived. You should go back early and come to the county office tomorrow and you can hear the good news."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I'm leaving."
As he finished speaking, a red light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The entire county government yard was illuminated by this red light for a moment.
Li Mu suddenly raised his head and saw eighteen blood-red light pillars rising into the sky in the county city, converging in the air to form a huge blood-red light shield, covering the entire county city.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened.
His face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
