Chapter 312 The Imperial Envoys From Kyoto Were All Shocked

Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, Ji He glanced at Xue Yan, but didn't say much, as if they had expected such a situation.

"It's getting late. Let's go into the city to understand the situation secretly, collect intelligence, and be aware of it." Ji He took the lead and said, "As for the people in the county, we can contact them later. What do you think?"

"I have no objection."

"The Za family listens to Master Ji."

"Without further ado, let's go into the city."

A few people nodded and walked on the ancient road towards Yongzhou City.

Soon, the outline of a towering city gate gradually became clear in front.

On the avenue of the city gate, I saw crowds of people surging and bustling, and pedestrians bustling with each other. Where could there be any signs of demons running rampant?

Everyone couldn't help but stop and look at each other, puzzled by this.

Where's the monster?

Several vendors walked out of the city, carrying handbags on their shoulders, and their faces were full of joy.

Two of the vendors seemed to feel the strange gazes coming from the side. They inadvertently glanced sideways and glanced at Ji He and his group. They saw that their clothes were gorgeous and solemn, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

These vendors were wary, lowered their heads, unconsciously quickened their pace, kept their distance, and did not want to cause trouble.

When these vendors passed by Ji He and others, Ji He and others looked at the items carried on their backs.

It was a thick, furry humanoid arm with dark skin, all types of hair stained by blood, and dried blood clots condensed between the hairs. The size was far larger than a human thigh.

It was obvious that this was the remains of a powerful demon.

A look of shock flashed across the faces of Shi Wenbo, Ji He and the other four people.

"There are changes in Yongzhou City."

Shi Wenbo stepped forward and stopped one of the vendors directly, shouting: "Stop!"

The vendor's muscles suddenly tensed up and he smiled and said, "What do you guys do?"

Having been traveling and doing business for many years, he has long developed the ability to identify people. He can tell at a glance that these people are either rich or noble, and he cannot afford to offend them.

"Where did you get these demonic remains?" Swinburne asked sharply.

The vendor shuddered and said: "They are all bought in the city, sir. It is said outside that these monster remains are a great tonic and are of great help to martial arts cultivation. They are valuable but not marketable. We have also heard the news. buy."

"Buy it? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Where can I buy demon flesh and blood?"

The vendor said with a bitter face: "I really didn't lie to these gentlemen. Sir, you will know it when you go to the city. There are many demonic remains in the city. I am still a humanoid remains, so I can't sell it at a high price. Those pigs in the city The remains of demons, bull demons, and sheep demons are so valuable!”

"In addition to the flesh and blood remains of demons, there are also various types of fur, demon pills, and demon blood. There are a lot of them."

Hearing this, Shi Wenbo was completely stunned and stared blankly at the vendor in front of him.

Ji He and others beside him couldn't react, they were almost confused.

Aren't there demons running rampant?

Isn't the city in danger?

Why are everyone so happy and starting to trade the remains of monsters?

What happened?

Cui Jin said in a sharp voice: "Za... We are all from other places. I heard that there are many demons making trouble here?"

The vendors waved their hands and said directly: "No!"

"What's gone?"

"The demons are all gone! They were all killed by our Yongzhou Da Qingtian!" the vendors puffed up their chests and said proudly.

"Yongzhou Daqingtian?"

Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, Ji He and Xue Yan became more and more confused as they listened.

When the merchant saw that Ji and the others had a kind attitude, they were not the kind of aloof people who would violently kill people at the slightest disagreement.

He lowered his vigilance a lot and said in a relaxed tone: "Forgot that you are foreigners. This Yongzhou Da Qingtian is the chief of our Weiwu Division. Three days ago, he single-handedly killed There are no demons left in the city."

"There are even rumors among the people that Master Shen killed two great demons with the highest level of cultivation. He is amazing."

Ah, so fierce?

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Si Wenbo.

The Weiwu Division is subordinate to the Military and Horse Division, and the chief officer of the Weiwu Division named Shen Qing is also a subordinate of Shi Wenbo according to the regulations.

Swinburne shook his head and said, "I have no impression of this person."

"Masters, do you have anything else to ask?" the merchant asked, tightening his grip on the demonic remains.

Swinburne waved his hand impatiently.

The merchant, as if he had been granted amnesty, hurriedly bowed his hands and left without looking back.

The four of them looked at each other and saw a lot of confusion in each other's eyes.

From what we have learned so far, it seems that the demonic trouble in Yongzhou City has been resolved.

But what exactly happened, they were at a loss.

"Let's go and take a look at the city first."

Shi Wenbo greeted a few people, quickly revealed his identity at the city gate, and entered the city.

Among the group of people, Xue Yan was hanging at the back. He looked back at the vendor, narrowed his eyes, and followed the others silently.

Entering the city, there were no corpses scattered everywhere as expected, nor was there chaos and brutal fighting as expected.

On both sides of the street, vendors' stalls are set up together, and the colorful curtains of each shop are fluttering in the wind.

Each one of them shouted with extraordinary enthusiasm, and there was an almost carnival flavor in it.

What every shop sells are the remains of monsters, including fur, flesh, and bones.

Some residents were standing by the street, skillfully cutting up the huge bodies of the demons.

Their movements were smooth and precise, and soon, the chopping board was piled with pieces of meat with plump texture and strange colors, without any signs of deterioration.

Even the half-grown children playing in the alleys were holding demon fangs and strange bones.

Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin and others were all unbelievable.

They had seen many demon tragedies, and the human race had always been the weaker party.

But here it was completely reversed, forming a jaw-dropping and weird picture, which made them very uncomfortable.

Looking around, the number of demons invading Yongzhou was obviously not small.

So many demons, all dead!

Yongzhou is not like Kyoto, the eight great families are all concentrated in one place, and there are many talents.

Here, even the martial artists of the Xiantian realm are considered amazing.

Facing such a number of demons, Yongzhou was able to survive, which was incredible no matter how you think about it.

Shi Wenbo and the others couldn't help but become more curious about the chief of the Weiwu Division, and couldn't wait to know the secrets.

Ji He said: "I think, why don't we act separately, gather here after dark, and exchange information?"

"Okay." Shi Wenbo and the other two said in unison.

"Then act, let's go."

The four people went in different directions and dispersed.

Xue Yan saw that Shi Wenbo and the others had gone far away, so he turned around and ran out of the city.

The outer city area of ​​Yongzhou.

Various low-rise buildings, one after another.

Li Antai has been in a particularly good mood in recent days.

After Lord Shen Qing killed all the demons, he started a business of demon debris and made a small fortune. He bought a lot of snacks for the two children at home, and bought a few feet of cloth for his wife and old mother at home, and changed them into new clothes.

He even bought a quilt.

Life has become visibly better.

This is all thanks to Lord Shen!

With Lord Shen in charge, he even hoped that the demon wave would come a few more times.

Yongzhou demon specialty, there is no other place!

Just as Li Antai was happily thinking about the future, a figure appeared in front of him at some point, blocking his way.

He stopped and looked carefully, and it was one of the masters who had just separated.

This master was the youngest of the four of them, and he seemed to have never spoken.

Li Antai was confused and was a little unsure about the other party's intention to return.

He showed a habitual smile on his face and said flatteringly: "I don't know what the master came here to find me for a favor?"

Xue Yan stepped forward and smiled: "Just ask you a few questions."

"Young master, please ask, I will tell you everything I know." In Li Antai's impression, these masters gave him a good impression, and he didn't have too many defenses.

Xue Yan asked, "A few days ago, did any strange phenomena appear in Yongzhou?"

"Yes!"

"Oh?" Xue Yan was shocked and said, "Tell me about it."

"It was about three days ago. It happened that not long after the demons in the city poured in, a colorful light suddenly fell from the sky, almost covering the sky and the sun."

Xue Yan excitedly said, "Where is it roughly?"

"It's in a barren mountain outside the west of the city. You can see it now, sir. The surrounding mountains have been razed to the ground. It's easy to find."

"Great." Xue Yan continued to ask.

Seeing Xue Yan like this, Li Antai poured a basin of cold water on him and said, "But sir, it's just a wasteland now, there is nothing. Many people want to try their luck like you, sir, but they all return disappointed and get nothing."

Xue Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

That's not right. If the inspiration appears, it will exist for a long time and will not dissipate easily.

If it disappears, there is only one possibility, that is, it has been taken away.

Thinking of this, Xue Yan's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

"Let me ask you, how long has this colorful light phenomenon existed?"

"It's only been more than half a day."

Half a day?

"Has anyone explored it and encountered it?"

"Yes! Why not?" Li Antai opened the conversation and said, "I heard that all the big bosses in the city have been there. Not only them, but also our Da Qingtian. I heard that the reason why he is so powerful is that he got the incredible treasure inside."

"The Da Qingtian you are talking about is Shen Qing, the chief of the Weiwu Division?"

"Yes, yes, that's Lord Shen!" Li Antai said in a nagging manner: "Lord Shen is really lucky. I heard that he has become friends with Lord Huangfu..."

Xue Yan didn't listen to Li Antai's words anymore. His heart moved, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

What a coincidence.

He had heard about Shen Qing's name from his eldest brother before leaving Xue Mansion.

It is said that this person is rampant in Yongzhou and has occupied a lot of Zhou family's industries.

My elder brother is on good terms with the descendants of the Zhou family in Yongzhou, and wants him to help the Zhou family.

Unexpectedly, this person is actually involved with the inspiration.

This time, he was arranged by his father to come to Yongzhou, mainly for this inspiration.

At first, he just wanted to deal with this person casually, but now it seems that he has to deal with him seriously.

"Sir, do you have anything else to ask?" Li Antai said flatteringly.

Xue Yan smiled and said, "It seems that you are quite smart. You know a lot."

Li Antai flattered: "As long as it is useful to you, it's good."

Xue Yan saw what Li Antai was thinking and said with a smile: "You helped me a lot this time. I have to thank you. Come here and I'll give you something."

"Sir, I can't do it." Li Antai waved his hands repeatedly.

"Just take it if I give it to you!"

Swish!

A flash of silver light flashed across Li Antai's neck.

Li Antai's face was horrified: "You, you, you..."

He let go of his hand, and the remains of the demon on his shoulder fell to the ground with a snap, and then he covered his neck with both hands.

Blood flowed out of his neck like a spring.

Li Antai felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and finally his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground with his head raised, his breath getting weaker and weaker.

After a while, his eyes gradually became blurred and he lost all his vitality.

"You talk too much." Xue Yan shook the blood on the blade, stepped over Li Antai's body, and said to himself: "I'm very worried."

He put the sword back into the sheath and strode away.

Killing a person is as insignificant as stepping on an ant.

It was getting darker and the lights were on.

Xue Yan returned to the city as agreed and waited patiently.

After a while, Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, and Ji He came back one after another.

They found an inn to stay in, put together the information they had collected, and exchanged what they had.

After the exchange, Ji He couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion: "This Weiwusi chief is indeed a talent. At this age and with this background, he can achieve this level. He must be a natural talent."

"That's right. It's a bit of a waste for such a person to be placed in a small Yongzhou." Cui Jin followed up and said: "When we go back this time, I must say a few good words for him in front of the emperor and let him serve His Majesty."

"Speaking of which, Chief Shen is still one of my men, right? If you want to say something, it's almost me. Did Eunuch Cui go beyond the rules?" Shi Wenbo said tit for tat.

Ji He interrupted hurriedly, "You two, now it seems that the matter of the demon in Yongzhou has been resolved, and the next thing is much clearer. When do you plan to return to Beijing to report?"

Shi Wenbo said, "After we reorganize the government office here and restore the system, we will talk about leaving."

Ji He nodded. This time he also came to find the fairy fate. If he left too early, it would be troublesome for him.

This is the best.

"Then follow Mr. Shi's arrangement. Let's stop here today. Tomorrow we will meet the legendary Yongzhou Daqingtian. Speaking of which, I really want to meet such a hero earlier." Ji He laughed.
