59: Chapter 59 The Black Fiend Appears! Even the Third-Rank Huo Family Can't Hold On?

"My Lord... This iron blood armor is missing some very important Materials!"

"It is fine... After some time, I will go to Taiping County to inquire about it!"

"My Lord... There seems to be too much sand inside the town."

"Make the commoners suffer... bad reputation... Wait, I, Shen Yi, have no bad reputation in Qinghe Town."

"Have the commoners pile it up, then throw it outside the town!"

"Dozens of people have come outside the town recently, most of them are commoners who lost their way in the Spirit Demon Storm... My Lord... What do you think?"

"Verify their identities, then let them in!"

"Traces of Yao Beasts were vaguely discovered a few miles away... It looks like they are creatures formed by the Spirit Demon Storm. Should we...?"

"Let Yan Ping be responsible for handling it. Try not to let these products formed by the Spirit Demon Storm grow in scale... Otherwise, I fear it will provoke a Yao Beast siege!"

"The grain in the town is only enough for about four more months..."

"How can it be so little?"

"In the past few days, the yanbing platform has been tempering troops, and the consumption has been truly too high, exceeding the usual amount by three times."

"Moreover, My Lord has converted another thirty Rakshasa Dao Soldiers."

"The consumption has naturally gone up."

"I see... I understand!"

"The spirit fields outside the town have been protected by Yan Shu, but they still need to be guarded."

"These Spirit Demons are naturally drawn to places with abundant Spiritual Qi... The Yao creatures are earth-aspected, and they can easily drain an entire spirit field dry!"

"Just have Zhou Xian lead a troop to check it out!"

Several days passed in a flash.

Shen Yi sat upright on the city wall... The Old Village Chief looked at the vast expanse of yellow sand covering the mountains and plains, feeling incomparably fortunate in his heart.

"If it weren't for My Lord... I fear the commoners of Qinghe Town would be just like these refugees, eventually being devoured, strangled, and killed by the Yao creatures within!"

"Such a high city wall... is something this old man never dared to even imagine."

"It is just, My Lord... although our Qinghe Town has stabilized, according to what these refugees say, the situation is likely not optimistic!"

"In Leping Township and Huayun Town, Yao Beasts are causing chaos one after another... Not just Yao Beasts, but the Black Fiend Bandits, Black Cloud Bandits, evil cults, and demonic sects... they are all taking action, fishing in troubled waters!"

"Do you think we... should take some action?"

Shen Yi had trained him well; the current Old Village Chief was no longer that law-abiding old man.

Now, his mind also harbored thoughts of raiding and pillaging.

The Old Village Chief's thoughts were simple... Nowadays, in the Jing Kingdom Immortal Dynasty, launching a war against other Families rashly would result in impeachment by the Ministry of Justice.

But if there is solid evidence...

Right now, amidst the storm, everyone is in danger, and some townships cannot hold their defenses and are breached by Yao Beasts.

At this time, going to gather the commoners is not an act of war.

It is, damn it, receiving refugees.

Not only is there no punishment, but one will actually receive commendations from the imperial court!

Shen Yi nodded casually... Intelligence probabilities began to appear before his eyes!

[You learned from the refugees fleeing Leping Township... A yellow-skinned Yao creature appeared in their township. The First-grade Family, then-Township Head of Leping Township, Yang Ge, fled with his Family, disregarding hundreds of commoners... That Leping Township has already turned into a breeding ground for Yao Beasts, and the commoners are suffering unspeakably!]

[You decide to take over Leping Township, Return Rate: 77%]

[You learned from the refugees fleeing Huayun Town... Although their Town Chief did not flee in fear of battle, he made an even more chilling move. He used the commoners as cannon fodder to forcibly fill the gaps!]

[Not only that, he seized the opportunity to wantonly extort the commoners' wealth. Although he did not run away, you learned that this person possesses a teleportation Formation.]

[If anything goes slightly wrong, he will flee with his whole Family! Return Rate: 103%]

Shen Yi frowned, pondering to himself.

According to what the refugees said, the Town Chief and Township Head of Huayun Town and Leping Township were both officials of the Immortal Dynasty, but they were no different from Shen Yi.

They were all Disciples from humble backgrounds.

Officials of the Immortal Dynasty, Disciples from humble backgrounds, possessing ambition but unable to express it... Over time, in order to seek promotion in their official careers, they would collude with the corrupt.

The official of the Immortal Dynasty who fled from Leping Township could be considered decent; at least he left the commoners a bit of money to escape with.

But this Town Chief of Huayun Town was truly vicious... First he confiscated their property, then he fled.

However, one cannot blame them.

After all, in this world?

Who doesn't want to survive?

As Shen Yi was thinking this... he saw Zhou Xian slowly killing his way out of the storm.

Arriving at the city gate... followed by a dozen people behind him.

Zhou Xian hurried up to the city wall and said in a deep voice.

"My Lord... A new batch of refugees has arrived, they are the commoners of Fengxiang Town."

"They claim to have an urgent matter to report to you... It is a matter of extreme urgency!"

Seeing this, Shen Yi frowned!!!

"Fengxiang Town... That is a rare, strong military town."

"It is said that the Town Chief is even a Core Disciple of a Third-grade Family... The foundation of the troops in his hands also comes from the border army."

"It actually met with disaster too?"

...

Below the city gate, Huo Ying looked at this towering city wall with caution.

As a guard from a Third-grade Family, he was well-versed in the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty officials.

The city wall of Qinghe Town before him was built under the supervision of the Pavilion of Craftsmen and was of great value.

The crossbows on it, exuding a chilling aura, were even more shocking!

Not only that... the two acres of spirit fields passed by, as well as this First-grade Dao Soldier Zhou Xian, and a full squad of First-grade Dao Soldiers behind him.

All of this made him feel shocked!

And after entering the town, he was even more startled.

In this township, there was actually a population of nearly three thousand people...

Not only that, in the eastern region there was a cloud of Evil Qi. As a First-grade Dao Soldier himself, how could he not know the details of it!

That was a military camp... That was a Dao Soldier unit!

And the scale of the Evil Qi determined the number of Dao Soldiers... This Qinghe Town.

Has at least one hundred First-grade Dao Soldiers!

This was already a sufficiently powerful force, and combined with this city wall, it was enough to support them until the Spirit Demon Storm ended!

Fengxiang Town... is saved!

It is just that I don't know... what kind of reward this Qinghe Town Town Chief will want in order to send troops!

Zhou Xian bent down and looked at Huo Ying indifferently.

"My Lord wants you to go up!"

Huo Ying felt uplifted and hurried up the city wall.

Looking at the young figure standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the rolling storm, he hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, My Lord..."

Shen Yi did not turn around and asked with confusion.

"What is the matter?"

Seeing this... this Lord had an extraordinary temperament and appearance; he looked like someone from a Family.

He had thought he would need to exchange pleasantries and report his background... He did not expect this person to be so straightforward!

Huo Ying did not hesitate any longer and hurriedly said.

"Fengxiang Town military report... The Black Fiend Bandits have united with Yao creatures to form a beast tide, attacking Fengxiang Town!"

"The Black Fiend Bandits used an evil sect Formation to block the teleportation Formation and long-distance sound transmission... We could only seek reinforcements along the way!"

"I hope My Lord will extend a helping hand... My Huo Family!"

"Will definitely provide a generous reward!"

"Even the Third-grade Huo Family cannot hold on????"
