late at night.
In a dark room.
"Your Majesty, the Changping County government is keeping a close watch on us, and the spiritual seed feeding plan has been somewhat slow..."
A man in black knelt on one knee, his face full of awe.
"It's time to find something important for them to do. Let's start the next step of the plan. The matter of the spirit seed must not be delayed."
A woman in a blood-red robe sat at the head of the bed, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.
"I respect your orders."
The man stood up and walked out slowly.
Seeing the other person walking away, the woman's eyes became gloomy.
"I really look forward to the day when..."
...
The following days were very peaceful, as if on the eve of a storm. An extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the hearts of warriors throughout the county.
Those cultists and Black Mountain bandits seemed to have disappeared and did not cause trouble again.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary and the war will break out sooner or later.
The two sides clashed many times, and many county warriors fell at the hands of the other side.
The conflict between the two forces has already reached its peak, and only blood and killing can calm the anger of the people.
Lu Changsheng also felt this atmosphere at home, and a sense of urgency lingered in his heart.
He must seize the time and quickly improve his strength.
All the spiritual objects in the crater must be dug out as soon as possible.
Now the only thing missing is improvement in footwork and defensive skills. As long as I complete these two skills, I will be able to charge forward again.
Just when Lu Changsheng was practicing hard at home, a sudden piece of news instantly shocked the entire county.
The tax silver and grain transported from the villages and towns around Changping County to the county seat were intercepted by a group of strange warriors.
When this news came out, countless people in the city were shocked.
Such a big thing cannot be contained in the county town, and it will probably be directly reported to the provincial capital.
When Lu Changsheng received this news, his face was quite gloomy.
He guessed that it must be that group of cultists who took action again, and the Black Mountain Bandits might also be involved.
Sometimes he would go to monitor the county lord's mansion at night, and he found that the other party's plan seemed a little slow.
"Could it be that the Lord wants to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"
At this moment, his thoughts were racing.
I quickly thought of a possibility.
That lord probably wants to take advantage of the chaos outside the city to speed up his own plan.
It is obvious that if the masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Black Armor Army go out of the city to wipe out the Wenxiang Sect, the surveillance in the city will definitely be reduced.
By then, the other party will definitely speed up.
He guessed that perhaps in a few years, the other party would start to take action.
"Knock, knock, knock…"
At this moment, there were several knocks on the door not far away, interrupting Lu Changsheng's thoughts.
"who?"
Lu Changsheng turned his head and looked.
"Squeak…"
The courtyard door was pushed open and a man in blue walked in.
"I pay my respects to Lord Lu. Palace Master Qin invites you to come over."
The man bowed respectfully.
He dared not neglect the Xuan-level demon-suppressing envoy in front of him who was in the limelight.
"I see."
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
Then he walked straight out the door.
He knew that the other party summoned him this time, probably because of the robbery of tax silver.
When Lu Changsheng stepped into the Demon Suppression Bureau's main hall, many figures had already gathered around.
When a group of civilian warriors saw Lu Changsheng, they all smiled and nodded.
Now Lu Changsheng has become a leader among civilian warriors.
As for the family members, both sides dislike each other.
The atmosphere on the field was quite depressing.
Lu Changsheng greeted some friendly people and then walked to Yue Shulan.
"Lord Lu is very popular recently."
Yue Shulan smiled and joked.
The two of them were quite familiar with each other, and she was not at all restrained.
"I'm afraid that since we've been summoned this time, we're going out of the city to clean up the Wenxiang Sect again."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.
"Yes, I hope Lord Lu can take good care of me."
Yue Shulan spoke softly.
Her strength is only at the level of perfect flesh refining. If she wants to be promoted to the Xuan-level demon-suppressing envoy, she must have the strength of bone refining.
Given their friendship, she naturally hoped that they could form a team, which would increase her chances of survival.
While the two were talking, three deputy hall masters quickly walked towards the hall, and a faint sense of oppression filled the entire place.
Qin Ruobing and the other two walked up to the platform in front.
His cold gaze swept across the entire audience.
Everyone around fell silent, and for a moment one could hear a pin drop.
"You've all heard about it, right?"
"I've called you together today. Your main task is to maintain the smooth flow of roads between the county seat and the towns and villages."
Qin Ruobing looked at the people below the stage with dignity.
"Everyone on the field will be led by a Xuan-level Demon Suppression Envoy to escort the food and tax silver outside the city. The Xuanjia Army will also cooperate with you..."
"I await your orders."
Everyone nodded, and loud voices echoed throughout the hall.
Soon, Qin Ruobing began to divide the teams according to the list.
Soon, more than 30 teams appeared on the field, and their leaders were all Xuan-level demon-suppressing envoys.
Lu Changsheng was naturally one of them.
He glanced at his teammates, and Yue Shulan was among them.
In addition to her, there are five colleagues, four men and one woman, all under Lu Changsheng's jurisdiction.
These people are all in the Flesh Refining Realm. No apprentice Demon Suppressors were summoned for this large-scale mission. The Skin Refining warriors are too weak in a confrontation of this level.
Soon, everyone on the field left.
Lu Changsheng also led the team out of the hall.
"Everyone, meet at the corner of the west street in half an hour."
Time was running out, so Lu Changsheng gave the order directly.
"I await your orders."
Everyone nodded respectfully.
Among the four men and one woman, the leader was a young man with a kind and honest face named Xiao Chao.
The realm of martial arts is perfected in the refinement of the flesh.
The other woman in yellow had a pretty appearance. Her name was Lu Xue and she had also reached the level of perfect flesh refining.
With Yue Shulan added, their team is quite strong.
It seems that Qin Ruobing also takes good care of herself.
Then Lu Changsheng walked towards his family.
After arriving home, I packed some clothes and dry food and immediately rushed to the west of the city.
After the group met at the corner of the west street, they quickly rushed out of the city.
…
Noon.
Nanfu Town.
This town is more than 100 miles away from the county seat. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is quite prosperous.
A few miles outside the town, on a gravel path.
A group of figures rushed forward quickly.
It was Lu Changsheng and his group.
Several people did not choose to ride horses. Since the warriors started to refine their flesh, their endurance and speed have skyrocketed, and they can run more than a hundred miles continuously with almost no pressure.
Soon, Lu Changsheng led everyone to the outskirts of the town.
He glanced ahead and saw that the atmosphere in the town was very depressing. A row of earthen walls had already been built around it, and many people were patrolling with rifles in their hands.
When they saw Lu Changsheng and his companions, they all looked alert.
At this time, a middle-aged man in white came out.
Behind him was a large group of armored guards.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The man in white looked a little suspicious.
Although he recognized the official uniforms of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he did not dare to let anyone in directly.
Some monsters are extremely good at disguising and hiding, causing great harm to the people in the town.
Lu Changsheng didn't explain, but directly took out the task token and handed it over along with the documents inside.
The middle-aged man took the token and the document, glanced at them, and after seeing the secret code, his expression suddenly became extremely respectful.
"Your humble servant greets Lord Lu. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused you."
"It's okay, are everything ready?"
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and got straight to the point.
"I'm ready, just waiting for you, my Lord."
The middle-aged man immediately clapped his hands.
The gate behind him slowly opened, and a convoy of more than ten carriages drove out. There were some marks on the ground, which showed that they were carrying a lot of cargo. A team of black-armored guards followed the convoy, which were the county's Black Armor Army.
In addition, several Black Armor Army soldiers were holding several BMWs in their hands.
It was obvious that the county magistrate had already issued the order and was waiting for someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau to cooperate.
The leader of the Black Armor Army was a burly man holding a spear and looking very imposing.
This person is also a martial artist who has achieved perfection in flesh refining.
With the cooperation of twenty ordinary Xuanjia soldiers, their strength should not be underestimated.
"Your humble servant, Tan Zhengnan, greets Lord Lu."
The burly man walked forward, clasped his fists and bowed, his expression quite respectful.
"Do you know me?"
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.
"I have had the honor of meeting you several times."
Tan Zhengnan smiled slightly.
"We won't delay any longer. Let's get on the road and send the money and grain back to the county as soon as possible."
Lu Changsheng gave the order directly.
He has the highest rank in the entire team and everyone on the field must obey his command.
"Squeak…"
Upon hearing this, the coachman immediately drove the carriage forward.
Lu Changsheng and several others rode on the war horses prepared by the Black Armor Army and headed towards the county town together.
As we moved forward, we didn't find anything unusual.
It was not until more than an hour after the convoy arrived at a dense forest that something strange happened.
"Wow…"
A group of men in black immediately rushed out at an extremely fast speed, and there were about twenty of them.
The leader was an old man with a dove-like face, hands like chicken claws, and a very powerful aura around him.
This group of people immediately stopped the convoy of Lu Changsheng and others.
"Not good, this person is the bone forging expert on the wanted list, He Wanpeng."
Seeing this, Yue Shulan's pupils shrank and her whole body began to tremble.
A group of Black Armor Army also immediately recognized this person.
As a strong man in the middle stage of bone forging, the other party has been on the county government's wanted list for several years.
This person likes to torture and kill women and children. He is extremely cruel and disgusting.
Xiao Chao and Lu Xue also looked worried.
Among all of them, only the captain Lu Changsheng has the strength to forge bones.
However, He Wanpeng is a veteran bone-building expert, and his captain may not be able to stop him.
Thinking of this, a gloomy mood emerged in everyone's heart.
If Lu Changsheng couldn't resist, they would probably all die here.
A hint of determination flashed in the eyes of Yue Shulan and others.
Even if you are defeated, you must fight to the death. If you fall into the hands of the enemy, you will be humiliated to death.
"Hehehe...Would you like to dismount and be beheaded, or would you like me to slaughter you?"
He Wanpeng's face was full of arrogance, and his murderous aura shocked the whole audience.
A group of people from the Wenxiang Sect were looking at Lu Changsheng and others as if they were dead.
They didn't even bother to wear masks, they just wanted to kill each other openly.
Lu Changsheng's expression was extremely calm. He drew out his long sword and jumped off his horse.
For this kind of guy, he doesn't even need to reveal his full strength. He can defeat him with just 10% of his strength.
Yue Shulan and several others also dismounted, holding long swords and looking nervous.
Just when several people were preparing for a life-and-death fight, Lu Changsheng came to life.
"kill."
Lu Changsheng raised his long sword and rushed forward quickly.
When he came to He Wanpeng, he slashed forward fiercely, and a sharp blade flashed by.
"Die for me."
Murderous intent flashed in He Wanpeng's eyes.
Draw your sword and chop forward.
He had used all his strength in this strike, intending to blow his opponent to pieces with one blow.
He enjoyed this pleasure very much, listening to the enemy's wailing was so pleasant.
Seeing this, the troops on both sides immediately attacked.
