266: Three words, driving away dozens of Tianguan

The golden light returned like lightning, and a pale white, foot-tall phantom figure, with a terrified expression, instantly transformed into a ball of scarlet flame, changing into various shapes, attempting to break free from the golden light.

However, the golden light remained completely still and even tightened its grip.

Finally, a hand gripped his Divine Soul, and the Qing Sha Gang Leader met those pale golden eyes—cold, mysterious, indifferent, filled with a chilling coldness that made one's Soul tremble.

The person, who had originally intended to struggle, was instantly corrupted by the mountain of corpses and sea of blood Evil Qi within those eyes upon meeting them again.

“Mercy, mercy!”

His Soul trembled, his pinprick pupils fixated by that chilling gaze, his eyes felt as if a nail had been brutally hammered into them, his pupils widening, and the Soul-piercing pain made him scream for mercy.

Then,

“Bang!”

The pupils in his Divine Soul suddenly exploded, and the Soul-rending pain made him shriek.

This was not the end; at this moment, a golden flame suddenly surged from that hand, enveloping his Divine Soul.

“Sizzle, sizzle.”

The golden fire burned his Divine Soul, emitting a harsh sizzling sound.

The excruciating pain of his burning Divine Soul was like being pricked by tens of thousands of sharp needles; the pain engulfed him like a tide, and his agonizing screams echoed through the air.

His Divine Soul twisted, like a worm being burned by flames, constantly contorting hideously, accompanied by those horrifying screams that made one shiver.

Chen Yuan stared at the man with a faint, indifferent voice and tone.

“Who gave you the guts?”

But beneath the seemingly calm words, everyone who heard them felt their hearts pound; each word was like a heavy hammer striking their chest.

Since this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General had spoken to inquire, it certainly would not end easily.

And the Qing Sha Gang Leader’s Divine Soul twisted, screaming in pain, and upon hearing these words, his face contorted in struggle, his hoarse, fragmented, and unclear cries were incomprehensible to anyone.

“It seems your people are here!”

Chen Yuan’s gaze deepened, and he looked up at the sky.

He did not need an answer.

The next second, Chen Yuan’s eyes blazed, radiating golden light, which then condensed into a golden speck in his eyes.

Two streaks of golden light, whooshing, shot out, piercing the Void Realm above, one to the left and one to the right.

In a flash, the two streaks of golden light traversed seven or eight li across the Void Realm, then the golden light intensified, and two golden light screens suddenly rose, quickly converging from top and bottom.

A massive golden light screen stretched across the heavens and earth, rapidly enveloping this four-sided world.

Including the figures within!

As the golden light spread, dispelling illusions and breaking through deceptions, muffled thuds sounded throughout the world.

Figures that had concealed their Qi were forced to reveal themselves out of thin air, their expressions changing drastically, unable to even maintain their concealment.

For a moment, there were over forty Tian Guan Qi auras in this part of the Void Realm!

This scene instantly stirred up a commotion; figures’ eyelids twitched, and their expressions changed.

Some immediately transformed into afterimages, causing the air to shriek, but within the golden light screen, loud whooshing sounds erupted, and golden chains were flung out, shooting like lightning.

With a few air-splitting hums, figures were seen being violently bounced back.

Someone still intended to act, but an indifferent voice reached them.

“One.”

Someone’s heart skipped a beat, and the flowing light beneath their feet slowed.

“Two.”

Someone’s expression changed, and an urgent sense of crisis surged in their heart, causing them to quickly stop.

“S.”

Before the word “three” could leave his lips,

The remaining people who had been acting felt a scalp-tingling killing intent.

Some felt as if their bodies were under a paralysis spell and quickly stopped; others, with hidden anger in the depths of their eyes, still gritted their teeth, and their rushing afterimages quickly reformed, coming to a halt.

Just three words, yet dozens of Tian Guan experts were forced to stop.

Below, the common folk and ordinary martial artists, witnessing this scene, widened their pupils and gasped!

This was the might of that Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General!

In the Void Realm, some looked at each other, while others’ pupils flickered, seemingly hiding something.

Soon, an elder dressed in scholar’s robes with a flowing beard, who seemed to have some prestige, was pushed forward by several people.

He bowed and spoke.

“Ninth Zhonglang, what are you doing?”

“We just received news that This General might be returning to the city today, and we specifically came to pay our respects.

This General’s battle at Weiyuan Pass that day was awe-inspiring, earning the admiration of countless people, but This General’s current actions seem a bit unreasonable.”

In the courtyard, in front of the main house, Chen Yuan held the Qing Sha Gang Leader’s Divine Soul in one hand, listening to his screams.

He glanced at the man, then slightly raised his eyes, filled with wildness and indifference.

“This General is enforcing the law; just cooperate!”

“Come!”

Chen Yuan spoke.

As his words fell, whooshing sounds filled the air, and four figures shot from the nearby Void Realm, quickly landing in the courtyard after a few flashes.

These four figures appeared before Chen Yuan, revealing four Scarlet Armor Generals of different builds.

These four were the Defense This Generals guarding the four sides of Jinguancheng, with Tian Guan Dao Seed cultivation.

Normally, these four would be stationed in their respective areas, but now, they had all appeared here.

Upon seeing these four Defense This Generals appear together, many people in the sky sensed an ominous aura.

Earlier, when the Ninth Mountain Army returned to the city, this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General did not appear.

Now that he had appeared, it was because someone had dared to commit evil against the Ninth Mountain Army, and he had appeared to kill them; this was natural.

But now, this Ninth Zhonglang had imposed a large Restriction, stopping them, and had also called the four Defense This Generals over; no matter how they looked at it, something was wrong.

Someone’s face changed, and he quickly lowered his head, his eyes flickering intensely, while his body slowly retreated, his Qi secretly fluctuating.

“Your humble This Generals salute Ninth Zhonglang!”

The four Defense This Generals bowed to Chen Yuan with great respect.

In fact, a Zhonglang General was only half a rank higher than a Defense This General, and normally, there wasn’t such a large difference between the two.

However, the four Defense This Generals already knew that this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General would be stationed in Jinguancheng, and if nothing unexpected happened, this Zhonglang General would soon, or in the near future, become a Town Demon Envoy!

Becoming the foremost person below the Great This General!

This was all the prestige he had earned!

Chen Yuan looked at the four Defense This Generals before him and spoke indifferently, “See if there are any inside; go find those people!”

Before Chen Yuan departed from Chuanzhong Pass, he had a night talk with Commander Pei.

His statement that he couldn’t control the current Jinguancheng was not groundless; it was already rapidly showing signs.

After Pei Yanhu left, some people couldn’t help but jump out and cause chaos in Jinguancheng.

He hadn’t expected that he had still underestimated these fools; they actually dared to bully his Ninth Mountain.

They must be killed!

“Yes!”

The four Defense Generals’ expressions immediately brightened.

A surge of anger in their chests needed to be vented.

In recent days, the city had been in great chaos, with various unsavory characters unable to resist emerging, and malicious incidents frequently occurring, repeatedly alarming the city’s Defense Army.

However, these people were not only unafraid, openly resisting arrest, but some even injured their soldiers, and even when they acted, they were helpless.

The city’s order was rapidly disintegrating!

The four shouted, their figures immediately shooting up, whooshing, leaping through the air, and quickly reaching the four sides of the golden array.

Their four pairs of eyes gleamed, scanning the heavens and the earth.

Soon, the South City Guard spotted a Young Master among the crowd, and his eyes immediately blazed.

This person was richly dressed, with thin lips, and was accompanied by two cold-eyed sword-wielding maids.

It was this person!

Yesterday in South City, a peddler accidentally bumped into this person’s sedan chair, and was immediately beheaded by his maid, using extremely ruthless methods.

This incident alarmed their South City Defense Command, who dispatched soldiers to apprehend them.

However, this Young Master and his group not only did not flee but also injured his soldiers, even crippling their martial arts, then left nonchalantly.

This incident severely damaged the prestige of the South City Defense Command and infuriated his subordinates.

Based on the drawing, he had frantically sent people to search last night but found no clues.

Now, even though the other party was lowering his head, he had found him!

“It’s him!”
