181: Making trouble? Please hurry up! (Seeking monthly ticket)

Jiangan County, dawn was breaking, and under the pale blue sky, the entire city was filled with black smoke.

It seemed to have just experienced a great battle.

The city's residents, sleepless through the night, hid in their houses in terror, not daring to step outside.

Last night's scene was truly frightening.

When the outside quieted down,

“Creak”

Doors and windows all opened a crack, and pairs of eyes cautiously peeked outside.

Under the pale blue sky, it was utterly silent outside, with only bird corpses scattered everywhere on the streets and rooftops.

Where were those monsters from last night?

At this moment, under the smoke-filled, pale blue night,

“Coo-coo”

A bird call.

A black bird flew in from the east, saw the city walls covered in shattered flesh and corpses, and let out an uneasy cry. Its eerie green eyes darted around, its wings hovered and circled a few times, and finally, it flew into the city, arriving at the county yamen in the center of the county, landing on a curved roof corner. Its tiny, black-bean-sized eyes reflected the empty county yamen.

“Coo-coo”

“Coo-coo”

It called out several times, but the empty county yamen remained silent, with no one responding.

At this moment, the black bird fluttered up, about to soar into the sky, preparing to return the way it came.

Just then, a faint voice suddenly came from the main hall of the county yamen, “Grab that bird outside for me.”

Instantly, the once empty county yamen became noisy, and then streaks of spiritual light shot out, rapidly heading towards the black bird.

The black bird was instantly terrified, its cooing turning into a broken squawk. It flapped its wings to dodge, and the streaks of spiritual light narrowly grazed past it, knocking off a few black feathers that fluttered down.

Then, in a flash, a crimson tongue, like a sharp arrow, shot through the air with a whoosh, wrapped around the black bird, and pulled it in with incredible speed, then into the mouth of an eight-foot-tall toad covered in silver bumps.

“Croak”

The toad's mouth bulged with two golden eardrums, its eyes were narrow, and its black pupils seemed to be joyful as its throat involuntarily gulped.

But the next second, a large fist directly smashed onto the toad's head, and an annoyed voice said, “Idiot, that's not for you to eat.”

“Croak,” the toad's eyes saw stars, its tongue drooped, and its mouth opened.

The black bird was quickly taken out of its mouth by the owner of the fist, who then turned, almost bowing ninety degrees, and presented it with both hands to the front, with flattery and reverence: “Commander Pei.”

The one speaking was a monster with a human body and a leopard head.

And this county hall, with its bright mirror hanging high, was crowded with no less than thirty lesser demons.

These were the ones who had been forcibly driven here this time.

Originally there were over a hundred, but only this many remained after the deaths.

At this moment, the insects and worms were trembling, not knowing what their fate would be, while on the high platform, Chen Yuan took the black bird into his hand, observed it, narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at the group of lesser demons. Without saying anything, he directly puffed out his sleeve, and the Pot Heaven sleeve was cast.

Immediately, the lesser demons felt a shadow fall over them, and then, their figures changed, and they were pulled into it, disappearing from the front hall.

After doing all this, Chen Yuan's gaze returned to the black bird, a faint golden light flickering in his eyes.

This bird carried the aura of a Night Fox, indicating it was controlled by a Night Fox. This Yao Race excels in Divine Abilities related to the soul, capable of Divided Soul, bewitchment, and soul-snatching.

Had the other party's kin sent reinforcements? Sending such a small thing to scout the situation? However, it seemed a bit too blatant, didn't it?

He initially thought so, but as the golden light of his Dharma Eye intensified, he let out a surprised sound, and the golden points in his eyes condensed, shooting out a thin golden line that drilled into the bird's two black-bean-sized eyes.

This was like flipping a switch. The bird's eyes became dull, and a faint light burst forth from them, revealing the figure of a Night Fox with a green face and fangs. Then the black bird opened its mouth and spoke in human words, its tone remarkably accurate:

“Tenth Uncle, two days from now, at the birthday banquet of the Xiao Family's young lady in Guangan Prefecture, that person from the Fei Yi Clan… Although this method is feasible, I don't trust those rampant fellows. To prevent any changes in the situation, you can send someone to meet me.”

Like a holographic recording, after the bird finished speaking, it was like a clockwork toy running out of power, and the light in its bird eyes quickly dimmed.

When Chen Yuan heard this news, his eyebrows involuntarily rose. He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

This was clearly news from Guangan Prefecture. The Night Fox in that image should be a scout, a reconnaissance-like fellow sent out by the Night Fox, which also confirmed his suspicion that there were Yao Race spies in Guangan Prefecture.

In summary, these fellows were going to cause trouble in Guangan Prefecture in two days.

“Alright, go for it, and hurry up!”

Chen Yuan's eyes curved upwards, forming an arc, and his gaze carried a hint of coldness.

As for the Xiao Family?

Had he seen or heard of them somewhere?

Just as he was recalling, suddenly, his gaze turned towards the east, and his expression brightened.

His reinforcements had arrived.

Four streaks of light flew from the east towards Jiangan County. From afar, one could see the city walls covered everywhere with the corpses and shattered flesh of Night Foxes, demons, and beasts.

Corpses lay strewn across the fields, and Evil Qi soared into the sky.

Inside the city, smoke permeated the air, yet there was an eerie silence.

The four stopped a few miles away, their eyes flickering as they exchanged glances, then tacitly cast their Divine Abilities to conceal their figures, as it was always better to be cautious.

Qingyangzi of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the cloud patterns on his collar lit up, and then swirling cloud Qi surged out, enveloping him from top to bottom. Then, with a 'poof' like a bubble, the clouds burst apart, leaving nothing inside.

Yun Chuxiong of the Yun Family, on the other hand, manifested a Yin and Yang Taiji diagram about a foot in size. The Yin and Yang fish rose into the sky, floating above his head, then spun with a whoosh, emitting a white light that enveloped him. Soon, his figure vanished.

As for the two from Benlei Mountain and Fulong Temple, one rubbed his hands together, and a blue lightning bolt appeared. His body flickered, and he followed the blue lightning, crackling, into the ground. The other, holding a whisk, flicked it, and the white hairs expanded, wrapping around his body like a ribbon. Then, very quickly, his figure was completely erased in the Void Realm.

The four concealed their figures, for a time not knowing each other, but they all quietly entered the city.

Yun Chuxiong of the Yun Family was slowly flying through the air, observing the situation within the city.

“So many demon and beast corpses? Where is that Ninth Zhonglang?”

“That green-faced, fanged demon should be a Night Fox, right?!”

“I'm not surprised that this Ninth Zhonglang dares to act like this alone. The news I got from the trip to Baidi City is that this Ninth Zhonglang cannot be judged by ordinary standards!”

As Yun Chuxiong was secretly startled, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

“May I ask which family Your Excellency belongs to?”

“Who?”

Yun Chuxiong's expression changed in surprise as he looked around, but saw no one.

At this moment, a figure condensed three zhang in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Yun Chuxiong's pupils slightly contracted, then he imperceptibly let out a sigh of relief. If an enemy had appeared beside him so stealthily, the consequences would have been hard to predict. At the same time, his heart tightened.

“I am Yun Chuxiong of the Yun Family. Greetings, Zhonglang Chen.” Yun Chuxiong cupped his hands, showing respect.

“The Yun Family? Are you Yun Commander's?” Although Chen Yuan had only recently taken over Ninth Mountain, he still needed to understand the situations of his three leading Commanders, as they were important subordinates. Cloud Skyborn, one of the three, came from the Yun Family of Jinguan City.

Especially after the incident at the ruined temple, his impression deepened. Later, Commander Pei of the Fushi sent a message saying that the Yun Family was on the list of reinforcements for Ninth Mountain, possibly due to this connection.

He did not know the full story, but he welcomed anyone who came to help.

“I am his father!” Yun Chuxiong laughed heartily, his beard trembling slightly, seemingly very proud.

“Haha, father and son fighting together, impressive.” Chen Yuan also smiled, then composed himself, “You all must be careful. Chen just sensed your auras, but then they suddenly disappeared, making Chen search for a while.”

As he spoke, “You two seem to have seen me, show yourselves!”

After speaking, his eyes glanced to the other side, and a golden light flickered.

Two figures abruptly appeared several hundred meters away, their concealment Divine Ability thus broken by Chen Yuan's casual glance.

The two men's expressions changed in surprise.
