179: Undercurrent (asking for monthly ticket)
Just as Chen Yuan was finalizing his work hundreds of miles away in Jiangan County, on the other side, outside Guangan Prefecture, a white streak of light pierced through the night sky, rapidly approaching from the northeast.
High in the sky, a giant boat, thirty zhang long, rode the wind and waves, its bow creating sharp, pale green streams of light, covering dozens of zhang in an instant, moving at an incredibly fast speed!
On the large boat, figures were flashing out of rooms and onto the deck, totaling over a hundred.
From a high-altitude Overlooking, under the dark night, a large city loomed like a colossal beast, its majestic silhouette faintly visible.
"Guangan Prefecture has been reached!"
Someone exclaimed, and everyone's gaze became solemn.
They knew that ahead lay a small front line between the Human Race of Shu Land and the Yao Race of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it would be incredibly brutal.
And they were about to throw themselves into it!
These people were none other than the four Sects who had come to provide support!
The Yun Family's forty-eight Disciples, led by Yun Chuxiong, Cloud Skyborn's father and head of the Yun Family's second branch, who was at the Heavenly Gate Dao Seed Realm;
The Shu Mountain Sword Sect had nineteen people, led by Qingyangzi, the Peak Master of Canghai Peak, who was at the Heavenly Gate Dao Soldier Realm, along with eighteen Disciples from Canghai Peak and Feilong Peak, most of whom were at Body Profound, while Ji Wuming, the chief Disciple of Canghai Peak, had successfully broken through to the Dao Seed Realm on his way there the day before.
There were also Fulong Temple and Benlei Mountain, with twenty-seven and thirty-one Disciples respectively, each led by a Dao Soldier expert!
Coincidentally, these two Sects both belonged to the Shu Mountain faction, clearly having communicated in secret.
After more than ten breaths, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's flying boat cut through the air currents and rapidly descended towards the northern city gate of Guangan Prefecture.
On the city wall, a shout immediately rang out.
"Who goes there?"
"..."
About a cup of tea's time later, at the Sky Patrol Division's station, shouts of people and horses could be heard, as the forces from the four Sects were welcomed to this place.
At this moment, a hearty laugh soon echoed from within.
"Gentlemen, I, Gou, have been waiting for a long time. I received news of your esteemed arrival during the day. I, Gou, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in Guangan Prefecture, thank you for your great righteousness!"
At this moment, in the night outside the Sky Patrol Division, on a high pavilion's eaves about a li away, a bird as black as a crow made a "coo-coo" sound in its throat, its bird eyes glowing with a faint green light, and as its eyeballs rotated, they reflected the scene of several groups of people entering the Sky Patrol Division.
"Thud."
The black bird's eyeballs rotated for a while, its gaze deep, then it flapped its wings and flew up, circling a few times before heading towards a courtyard in Guangan Prefecture.
In the courtyard, a room was brightly lit.
Outside the window, a silhouette against the candlelight showed graceful dancing figures, and sounds of joyous laughter came from within.
Through the window, one could see scantily clad women dancing, and in the hall, a man in a brocade robe with high cheekbones, a blue face, fangs, and green eyes, squinted, his eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.
It was actually an adult Night Fox!
At the feet of this Night Fox, there was a wooden basin filled with clear water, and two women, dressed in ruqun and of different ages and appearances, were washing his feet, their eyes full of seductive charm.
At this moment, the Night Fox's lips curled into a sneer, and he lifted his ugly, black-veined large feet from the water, brushing them over the women's skirts and chests, finally placing them in front of him.
Yet, those two women of different ages seemed to be enchanted, and actually reached out...
Just then, two urgent grunts sounded.
"Mmm, mmm."
"Woof, woof."
In the corner of the room, two men were tied up and lying on the ground, watching this scene with wide, angry eyes, their veins bulging. Their mouths weren't stuffed with anything, but their faces were flushed red, and they seemed to want to speak but something was blocking them, making it impossible to utter a sound.
By their age and appearance, they seemed to be a father and son!
The Night Fox saw the reaction of the father and son, and the curve of its eyebrows became increasingly exaggerated, its face appearing even more ferocious.
"Heh heh."
It raised its hand towards the father and son, and with an upward motion, the two were lifted into the air as if by magic, their necks seemingly choked, their hands desperately clutching their throats, and their feet kicking wildly in struggle.
"Should I kill them all, alright?"
The Night Fox's tall body bent down, and its pair of clear, eerie eyes stared at the two women, one large and one small, with a sinister smile.
It found the feeling of arbitrarily controlling others and being superior to be incredibly wonderful and pleasant.
Yet, the two women showed no fear at all; instead, they coiled around him like snakes, emitting delighted, high-pitched laughter.
"Alright, alright."
The father and son, held in the air, their struggling, flushed faces now showing expressions of pain, looked at their wife and daughter with hearts full of grief and despair.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
It was this demon!
This terrifying demon had invaded his residence, controlling his concubines, controlling everything.
It wasn't like this, it wasn't like this.
Just as the father and son were filled with anger and despair, the adult Night Fox sensed something, lowered its hand, and then its eerie green gaze slowly turned towards the window.
Beneath the silhouette cast by the candlelight, a pair of flapping wings appeared outside the door.
Just as it was about to make a move,
A hand suddenly appeared in the silhouette outside the door, grabbing the bird's wings.
Then, the door burst open with a bang.
"Bang!"
A figure appeared outside the door.
It had a pointed face, a hooked nose, and menacing bone spurs protruding from its forehead. Its eyes were filled with danger and ruthlessness, and it wore a black robe.
As soon as this person appeared, his cold, sinister eyes curved into a playful arc. "My friend of the Night Fox Clan, you certainly know how to have fun."
Upon seeing this "person" appear, the adult Night Fox's eyebrows twitched, then it clapped its hands. The women, as if receiving a command, their once lively expressions became numb, their eyes hollow, flickering with green light, and they stood to either side.
"You Fei Yi Clan, why are you looking for me at this hour?" The adult Night Fox curled its fangs, speaking in a muffled voice, though its expression showed some apprehension, and its body was somewhat tense.
"Don't rush, look, this must be the messenger you control, see what it has?" The hooked-nose man chuckled, then threw the black bird forward.
The black bird flapped its wings, landed in the adult Night Fox's embrace, and then became still and quiet.
"According to the agreement between our clans, I have no reason to show you; each clan has its own intelligence." The adult Night Fox's eyes flickered, making no move.
Yet, the Fei Yi with the hooked nose smiled mockingly, "Heh heh, do you think you have the right to refuse?"
With that, its body moved abruptly, instantly appearing before the Night Fox, and a violent Qi surged forth, directly pressing down on the Night Fox.
It was the Qi of a Heavenly Gate Dao Seed!
The adult Night Fox's pupils instantly contracted, and it tried to dodge, but couldn't. The chair beneath it shattered, and it was also slammed hard onto the ground, screaming in agony.
"If I tell you to look, then look. Why so much nonsense?" The black-robed man, whose true form was a Fei Yi, hardened his expression and sneered with cold eyes.
This adult Night Fox, only at the Peak of Body Profound cultivation, could only obey obediently at this moment. Although angry, it had no choice; it was simply outmatched. The Fei Yi Clan was one of the Ten Fiends, inherently brutal, so it was better not to provoke them.
The Night Fox's green eyes rotated, meeting the bird's eyes, then a green light stretched out from its eyes, pulling a ball of green light from the bird's eyes.
The green light shifted, revealing a scene.
It was the scene of over a hundred people entering the Sky Patrol Division's entrance.
