177: Chapter 175: Beiliang City, Chu Shanlu, the Commander of Ten Thousand Men

Chapter 176: Chapter 175: Beiliang City, Myriad-Commander Chu Shanlu

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing traveled north, instantly crossing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. A city appeared before them, named Beiliang City.

Along the way, they saw many ancient battlefields, suspecting that this should be the border of some country, where wars frequently occurred.

In the world of cultivation, human lives are like weeds, and the martial arts world is much the same; white bones litter the wild, desolate sands.

After a preliminary understanding of the world's structure, Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing both breathed a sigh of relief. Creating a Land Immortal was not difficult for them, quite easy, though making it Ascend might be a bit troublesome.

Next was to find a suitable person, one pleasing to their eyes, to cultivate.

On the walls of Beiliang City, traces of sword hacks, axe chops, and arrows left deep marks, seemingly proclaiming how brutal the past battles had been.

Those entering and exiting the city were mostly the old, weak, women, and children, looking listless and lacking Life Qi.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing, dressed in luxurious clothing and possessing extraordinary temperaments, stood out completely, a stark contrast to them.

Especially Jun Mengqing, a Saintess Fairy whose beauty was already peerless, not to mention she was a fox spirit... Every frown and smile exuded charm, drawing much attention.

In the distance, cavalry patrols were very strict.

Just then, the ground rumbled, and a team of horsemen galloped from afar. They rode tall horses, both riders and horses clad in armor, their hooves thundering like thunder, shaking the heart.

The common people who had been waiting to enter the city quickly scattered upon hearing the hoofbeats, not daring to block the city gate.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing also moved to the roadside, not blocking the main entrance to the city.

Soon, a cavalry team appeared in people's sight, a chilling aura sweeping over them. The leading officer was as corpulent as a small mountain, so fat his neck was invisible, and his squinting eyes looked very lewd, with a hint of cunning and wickedness.

He also carried a beautiful woman on his horse, her face delicate and lovely, her figure excellent. Her mouth was bound with cloth, and she struggled with muffled cries.

However, perhaps from struggling for too long, she looked weak and sickly.

The fat general spurred his horse forward, originally intending to accelerate into the city, after all, the young lady was waiting for him to enjoy!

But as he rode past, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a certain spot, and a great deal of light flickered in his small eyes, very lewdly. Under his control, his warhorse gradually slowed down.

Gu Shengge clearly perceived that the greasy, lewd fellow had already cast his gaze here, and of course, he wasn't looking at him, he was looking at Jun Mengqing.

After all, their style was different from others, too eye-catching.

Some of the soldiers behind him also carried women, but unlike the stunning beauty on his horse, they were just village girls.

He rode up to Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing, sitting atop his tall horse and looking down at Jun Mengqing below.

As for Gu Shengge, he was directly ignored, or rather, his gaze was captivated the moment he saw Jun Mengqing, and he never moved it away from her.

The surrounding common people, upon his approach, scattered in fear, as if they had seen some soul-reaping evil spirit.

"I am Chu Shanlu, Myriad-Commander of the Beiliang Army. May I know the lady's name?"

The greasy fat man seemed to be trying his best to force out a kind and friendly smile, but with his appearance, no matter how he faked it, it looked somewhat hideous and disgusting.

As he spoke, one of his large hands was still caressing the beautiful woman on the horse's back.

His rough large hand suddenly paused, as if he remembered something. His gaze sharpened, and he yanked the sickly beautiful woman up, throwing her into the air. A heavy broadsword in his hand was swung, and two flashes of blade light passed. The beautiful woman was split down the middle, then received another blow at the waist, breaking into four pieces. She fell to the ground, a large amount of blood mixed with organs flowing out, a sickeningly gory sight.

After dealing with the beautiful woman, a smile reappeared on his greasy fat face. He stared at Jun Mengqing with a grin, waiting for her reply.

A hint of surprise flashed in his cunning and calculating eyes. After all, if it had been any other woman, she would have long since turned pale with fright and been unable to stand steady after that scene, yet the woman before him remained composed.

However, he didn't take it to heart. In Beiliang City, they were like gods. If Chu Shanlu fancied someone, unless the Young Lord wanted her, no one could escape.

This woman, he was determined to have her!

Behind him, his accompanying lackeys shouted and whistled, as if cheering him on.

However, this looked more like a veiled threat, an attempt to coerce Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing into submission.

"Beiliang? Chu Shanlu?" Jun Mengqing sneered. The previous scene hadn't frightened her, but it had made her feel an unprecedented disgust, a disgust for Chu Shanlu!

Of course, now she had to add the lackeys behind him.

Chu Shanlu saw that his smiling face didn't seem to win the other party's favor, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

"Is this your first time in Beiliang City, miss? Please come to my residence for a chat, and I will introduce you to the local customs of Beiliang!"

As he spoke, he winked at his subordinates beside him, and two heavily armored soldiers dismounted, walking towards Jun Mengqing.

Gu Shengge had long wanted to kill such an inhuman beast, but Jun Mengqing stopped him with a sound transmission.

Gu Shengge was displeased but did not act rashly, merely watching coldly from the side. Chu Shanlu saw his two subordinates walk over, yet Gu Shengge made no move, his contemptuous expression undisguised.

The two soldiers also walked up to Jun Mengqing at this moment, one of them sneering, "Miss, please get on the horse, don't make it difficult for us brothers!"

After all, she was a woman the Myriad-Commander fancied; they dared not touch her before the Myriad-Commander.

Jun Mengqing smiled sweetly, a hidden red glow flashing in her eyes. The two soldiers' heads instantly became muddled, their bodies swaying, completely unaware of what they were supposed to do.

Chu Shanlu was also puzzled by his subordinates' appearance: "Two good-for-nothings! Can beauty make one drunk?"

His soldiers behind him burst into laughter, and the sounds of catcalls and shouts spread again.

The common people who had scattered to a distance showed expressions of regret when they saw this scene.

Such a beautiful girl, yet she was to be taken away by that beast Chu Shanlu, what a pity.

While they felt pity, there was also indignation towards Gu Shengge, because from their attire alone, it was clear that Gu Shengge was with Jun Mengqing, perhaps even husband and wife.

Yet now, seeing his wife being harassed, he remained indifferent, truly a coward.

Gu Shengge felt the surrounding gazes of contempt mixed with a hint of sympathy, and he was somewhat displeased. If Jun Mengqing didn't act soon, he wouldn't be able to wait.
