155: Chapter 155 Fu Qingyun's Headache

Above the night sky, the gale was like a knife.

Commander Fu Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back, his Purple-gold Python Robe of the Jiantian Division's Grand Governor fluttering loudly in the wind.

He stared fixedly at the black-robed figure in the center of the Pentagram Formation ahead, the killing intent in his eyes almost condensing into substance.

Tu Wanshen, seventh on the immortal stele heaven rank, and the perennial, immovable top of the Jiantian Division's Most-wanted List!

Years ago, this old Devil Head sacrificed an entire border city, hundreds of thousands of fresh lives.

Overnight, they all became nourishment for him to summon Secret Realm Evil Spirits.

These three words, throughout the Great Jiang Dynasty, were a taboo that could make children cry in the night and make all righteous Martial Artists wish they could eat his flesh raw!

"Old fox, usually you hide your head and show your tail like a rat in the gutter; you even slipped away from several of the Jiantian Division's dragnets."

Commander Fu Qingyun let out a cold snort, his voice like a great bell echoing across the entire sky:

"To think you'd dare to come alone today to stir up trouble at the foot of the capital?"

"Do you really think the immortal stele in the capital is just for show!"

Before his voice had even faded.

Commander Fu Qingyun suddenly raised his right hand, pressed his sword fingers together, and pointed fiercely toward the Void Realm above!

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a loud bang like thunder from the Nine Heavens, the night sky in the direction of the capital was instantly dyed a blinding gold!

A massive phantom of a golden stone tablet, carrying a supreme pressure that suppressed all eternity.

It spanned dozens of miles across the sky like an immemorial divine mountain, hovering thunderously over Shi Village!

Immortal Tablet Projection!

In an instant, an invisible yet terrifyingly extreme pressure poured down like a heavenly river, pressing down hard on Tu Wanshen's head.

"Creak—"

Under the suppression of this absolute power, the five violent pillars of energy converging around Tu Wanshen...

...actually let out a groan of being overburdened, their flow visibly stagnating.

Tu Wanshen was in the center of the formation's eye, his black robe pressed tight against his body.

He slowly raised his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man under his hood.

Tu Wanshen gazed up at the sky-blotting phantom of the immortal stele.

In those sharp eyes, there was not a hint of fear; instead, they shone with intense admiration.

"Tsk tsk... as expected of the only Immortal Artifact in the world."

"Even if it's just a projection... this pressure can actually make my Divine Soul feel a hint of palpitation."

"Cut the crap!"

Commander Fu Qingyun's hair and beard flared as he shouted sternly:

"Tu Wanshen, I don't know what madness has gripped you today to dare come to the capital alone to seek death."

"But since you've dared to show your face, you will leave your life here for this Governor today!"

Facing Commander Fu Qingyun's declaration of certain death, the expression on Tu Wanshen's face didn't ripple in the slightest.

He even shrugged quite easily, a playful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he casually extended a finger and pointed at the mess of Shi Village below.

"Governor Fu, don't be in such a hurry to make threats."

"Before you act, why don't you look down and see just who is lying in that village beneath your feet?"

Commander Fu Qingyun's brow furrowed as he said coldly, "Stop your tricks! As long as I can kill you, the number one cancer of Great Jiang, today..."

...whether a hundred or a thousand people die down there, their sacrifice will be worth it!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Tu Wanshen burst into wild laughter as if he'd heard the greatest joke in the world, laughing until he was out of breath.

"What a righteous Commander Fu Qingyun!"

Tu Wanshen's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at him with a mocking gaze, saying word for word:

"However, Commander Fu Qingyun..."

...if you are willing to let the Sole Heir of this generation of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, the most beloved daughter of the current Prime Minister, and the direct descendant of the Murong Clan..."

...along with the only precious disciple of that crazy woman from the Four Seas Academy, be buried with me!"

"Then I, Tu Wanshen, would accept dying here today!"

Hearing these words, the color instantly drained from Commander Fu Qingyun's majestic face.

Without any hesitation, his massive Divine Thought instantly swept over Shi Village below!

When his Divine Thought swept over Murong Yun lying in a pool of blood, Jiang Feiyu lying by the wall emitting black Qi, and the unconscious Chen Shanzhi and Ouyang Wanqing...

...the corners of Commander Fu Qingyun's eyes began to twitch uncontrollably.

"I'll be damned..."

This Grand Governor of the Jiantian Division, who usually stood high above and remained unruffled even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, actually cursed vulgarly in his heart.

As a top expert ranked sixth on the heaven rank, Commander Fu Qingyun's Divine Thought needed only one sweep to accurately judge the terrible condition of the four below.

Especially that girl with the saber—she already had one foot in the grave!

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Commander Fu Qingyun's forehead.

Capture Tu Wanshen? Capture my ass!

This old fox has been at large for decades; if he escapes today, he can just be hunted later.

But if these four little ancestors down there lose even a single hair today...

...and the people behind them cause trouble together, let alone Commander Fu Qingyun, even the current Emperor would have a massive headache!

Weighing the pros and cons happened in a flash.

"You win!"

Commander Fu Qingyun gritted his teeth and shot a resentful glare at Tu Wanshen in the air.

He abruptly withdrew his hand seal, and the terrifying phantom of the immortal stele in the sky instantly dissipated.

The next second, Commander Fu Qingyun's figure pulled a purple afterimage through the air, crashing onto the open ground in front of the dungeon like a falling star!

Upon landing, Commander Fu Qingyun ignored the severed limbs scattered all over and dashed to Chen Shanzhi's side.

He reached out to grab Chen Shanzhi's wrist and probed with his true essence.

"Whew..." Commander Fu Qingyun let out a long sigh.

After a quick check, although this kid's right arm was broken and his blood was churning...

...fortunately, his Foundation was extremely solid, and he was only knocked unconscious by some secret technique; his life was not in danger.

Commander Fu Qingyun turned to check Ouyang Wanqing nearby.

This girl's condition was better than Chen Shanzhi's; she didn't even have any external injuries.

It seemed she had simply exhausted her true essence and suffered a shock to her Divine Soul, falling unconscious from exhaustion.

The situation for these two was still optimistic.

But when Commander Fu Qingyun walked over to Murong Yun and Jiang Feiyu, his face instantly darkened.

This kid Murong Yun had at least two-thirds of his bones broken; he was barely breathing and looked like he was about to die.

Commander Fu Qingyun's mouth twitched as he painfully reached into the Waist Token at his hip.

He pulled out a Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, snow-white all over, with wisps of cloud mist swirling on its surface.

As soon as the pill was taken out, a rich, exotic fragrance instantly filled the air; a single sniff made one feel refreshed.

"Sigh, I'm really losing out this time..."

Commander Fu Qingyun muttered, squeezed Murong Yun's mouth open, and stuffed the pill inside.

The pill melted as soon as it touched his tongue, and after only a few breaths...

...the gruesome wounds on Murong Yun's body actually stopped bleeding at a visible rate and even began to scab over.

His weak breathing gradually became steady and strong.

His life was saved, but the shattered Meridians in his body couldn't be fixed by a single pill.

He would have to recover slowly after returning.

After dealing with Murong Yun, Commander Fu Qingyun came to Jiang Feiyu.

By now, Jiang Feiyu had completely lost consciousness.

Under her originally fair skin, streaks of evil black Qi, like black earthworms, were roaming and spreading rampantly.

An extremely cold smell, carrying a strong scent of Death Qi, continuously emanated from her.

"What on earth did this girl swallow? This is absolute nonsense!"
