110: The Xuanniao Guards of Jingtai Mansion request a meeting!

Two fox Yao Beasts, covered in dark red fur, walked in from outside the door with heavy steps.

When they saw the Fenglin County Magistrate and the other two, their mouths slightly parted, revealing dense, sharp teeth.

Drops of bright red liquid continuously dripped from the corners of their mouths onto the ground, as if they were remnants of blood after just finishing some kind of food.

Upon seeing this, the Fenglin County Magistrate's body erupted with immense strength, and he forcibly broke free from his stiffness.

Just as the Fenglin County Magistrate was about to crash into the curtains behind him, a fox Yao Beast, like a ghost, pounced in front of him amidst a howling wind.

Swish!

Under the terrified gaze of the other two, the fox Yao Beast raised its massive paw and swiftly clawed at the Fenglin County Magistrate's body.

"Save…"

The Fenglin County Magistrate's words abruptly stopped as his entire body was sliced in half from head to toe by the fox Yao Beast's sharp claws.

Seeing this scene, the other two's minds went blank, completely unaware that another fox Yao Beast had already appeared behind them.

A moment later…

"What happened!"

"Someone, quickly!"

"Thieves are attacking the County Yamen!"

Several Yamen Runners appeared outside the courtyard of the back hall.

When they saw the Yamen Runners guarding the door had all turned into incomplete corpses, their faces instantly filled with terror, and they immediately cried out in alarm.

In a short while, all the Yamen Runners guarding the County Yamen were startled awake.

Each Yamen Runner held a burning torch in their hand.

The torches cast bright flames, illuminating the entrance to the backyard.

"Sister, there are still many people outside, should we eat them all?"

"Forget it, that's enough, that damned human is about to catch up."

"If he catches up to us, we'll be in trouble."

"Go!"

The group of Yamen Runners held their torches high and walked grandly towards the Fenglin County Magistrate's room.

The next moment, two enormous figures directly broke through the roof and fled into the distance.

"What are those things!"

"Boss, I saw them."

"They look like two monsters!"

"Ghosts!"

"They are fox spirits!"

Under the bright torchlight, the Yamen Runners saw the true appearance of the two fox Yao Beasts.

The originally neat and orderly formation instantly devolved into chaos, and a clamor of panicked shouts arose.

"Not good."

"Something has happened to the County Magistrate."

An elderly Yamen Runner Chief Constable bravely rushed into the house alone.

As a result, in the messy room, he found the official robes of several County Yamen officials, which were stained with fresh red blood.

However, besides these official robes, there was no trace of the officials themselves.

An absurd thought emerged in his mind.

The County Magistrate, along with the County Vice Magistrate and the County Commandant, all three of them had been killed.

It was those two monsters who did it!

Thinking of this terrifying outcome, the elderly Yamen Runner Chief Constable quickly ran out of the room.

Then, he pointed at several young Yamen Runners and said quickly, "You few, hurry and inform Chief Constable, Sir."

"Just say that something has happened to several officials in the County Yamen!"

A day's time passed in a flash.

Baidao Prefecture City!

Not far from the Fu City's main gate, the sound of horses' hooves thundered, each step heavily striking the ground.

Three swift horses, like arrows shot from a bow, broke through the sky at an astonishing speed, kicking up rolling dust, and galloped towards the city gate.

The person riding on horseback wore a blue Blackbird Guard uniform, with a cold and indifferent expression on his face, ignoring the pedestrians on the road, and shouting loudly.

"Move aside!"

"Everyone move aside!"

"Blackbird Guard is on duty, all idlers please step back."

Even the soldiers at the city gate ignored them, rushing straight through without any intention of stopping.

"Hey, hey…"

"Who are you people, how dare you trespass… Mm…"

A relatively young soldier was about to step forward to stop the three of them.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a rough hand covered his mouth and pulled him aside.

The City Gate Soldier Captain only released the large hand covering the young soldier's mouth after seeing the Blackbird Guards leave.

Then, the City Gate Soldier Captain said irritably, "You brat, are you tired of living?"

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

"Those are important figures, and you still dare to block them."

"Remember the clothes those people are wearing; they are Blackbird Guard members."

The young soldier saw his captain's serious expression and knew that the other party was an important figure he couldn't afford to offend.

"Blackbird Guard members?"

So, he showed a fawning smile and bowed repeatedly to the City Gate Soldier Captain, expressing gratitude for the captain's kindness.

"Thank you, Captain, for saving my life."

Fu City Blackbird Guard Mansion!

Not far from the main gate, the Blackbird Guards who had just rushed into the city gate had already appeared here.

Upon seeing the Blackbird Guard Mansion, their stern expressions finally relaxed a little.

"Three Yellow Envoy, Sirs?"

"Why have I never seen them before?"

The Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard guarding the gate saw the Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guards he had never seen before appear at the entrance.

His brows immediately furrowed, seemingly trying hard to recall the appearance of these unfamiliar Huang Grade Xuan Niao Guards.

"You are…"

"We are Blackbird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture, ordered by Mystic Envoy, Sir, from Jingtai Prefecture to meet Mystic Envoy, Sir Li Chengfeng; please report it quickly."

"It's an urgent matter!"

Upon hearing their words, the Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard guarding the gate did not doubt them and quickly shouted to the others behind him.

"You few, quickly go and report to Mystic Envoy, Sir, the Blackbird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture request an audience."

Inside the Mansion's main hall, there were two figures, Lu Xuan was sitting quietly in the main seat with his eyes closed.

Standing in front of him was Vice Envoy He Yan, who seemed to be reporting something to Lu Xuan.

"Mystic Envoy, Sir, there is half a month left until the Blackbird Guard assessment competition begins."

"Would you like to take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be modified here?"

"Assessment competition?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan opened his eyes and took the paper He Yan handed over.

Then, Lu Xuan casually glanced at it and had already finished reading the information on it.

It turned out to be a Martial Arts Competition for Human Rank Xuan Bird Guards, a competition used by the Blackbird Guard to motivate the younger generation.

The first place winner will receive one Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects and fifteen portions of tonifying medicinal herbs.

The second place winner will receive half a Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects and ten portions of tonifying medicinal herbs.

The third place winner will receive half a Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Objects and five portions of tonifying medicinal herbs.

"Envoy doesn't have much time, Deputy Envoy He, you can preside over it for me."

Lu Xuan had no interest in these matters, so he simply waved his hand, entrusting the matter to He Yan for full handling.

"Mystic Envoy, Sir, the Martial Arts Competition can only be presided over by you."

"Because the distribution of Heavenly Spiritual Objects is decided by you, Mystic Envoy, Sir."

He Yan showed an 'as expected' expression after hearing Lu Xuan's words.

He knew that this Mystic Envoy, Sir's personality was indeed extraordinary.

"Is that so?"

Lu Xuan's brows slightly furrowed upon hearing this, and he was about to make a decision.

At this moment, several hurried footsteps sounded outside the main hall's door.

Immediately after, several Blackbird Guards appeared outside the door and shouted into the main hall.

"Reporting to Mystic Envoy, Sir, there are Blackbird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture outside, saying they wish to meet Mystic Envoy, Sir Li Chengfeng!"
