Chapter 169: The high-spirited general! Old Hantou is deeply shocked! [Fourth update!] The streets were silent, and all eyes were focused on that figure. Under the gazes of many people, this young inspector remained expressionless, as if he didn't notice anything. He looked past the crowd and didn't even pay attention to the thirty or so cavalrymen. He looked quietly at the deputy city governor from Qifeng City. I had met him once before in the inner city, but we were far apart. Moreover, he went there for Xu Dingye, the Little Divine Sect, so we were unable to meet face to face. But now, Lin Yan did not hide his murderous intent at all. He slowly drew his bow and arrow, pointing it forward. "I have already ordered that the criminal's head be brought to the public. Anyone who dares to commit the crime will suffer the same fate!" "Whoever dares to take these two heads without my order is defying the order of my Heavenly Supervisor." "Whoever it is, death penalty!"

His tone was calm and his voice was not loud. However, everyone present heard these words clearly. As the voice fell, Lin Yan pointed his arrow at Deputy City Guard Shi and said coldly, "Deputy City Guard Shi, are you here to rob the criminal's head?" The atmosphere in the field was stagnant to the extreme. Deputy City Guard Shi had a calm expression, but did not speak. No one present dared to make a sound. However, many of the "big shots" who came from prominent backgrounds and thought they could see through power struggles and human nature could not help but feel an indescribable sense of complexity at this moment. The young man who guards the city of Qifeng Prefecture is one of them. He also didn't expect that under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wuchang was really unwilling to give in even a little bit. Logically speaking, hanging up the two heads has achieved the purpose of deterring visitors from all directions. These two heads are now unimportant. Deputy City Lord Shi came in person, so even if Wuchang gave in, no one would think that he had lost his prestige. "Regardless of identity, status, origin, and even the most important cultivation, Deputy City Guard Shi is already a well-deserved high-ranking official!" Young Master Li stood on the upper floor, watching the movement on the street next door, and thought to himself: "In terms of future prospects, Wu Chang may be better than Deputy City Guard Shi, but today we should have avoided his edge. It is not wise to shoot arrows at him..." Wuchang is a genius with the potential to become a strong person. Deputy City Guard Shi is a truly strong man. It was as if a young dragon was challenging the giant snake that had already become powerful! He held the wine glass and whispered softly, "Yes, if they were wise, the two people from the Shi family would not have died, and if they were prepared to give in, they would not have these two broken heads hanging today..." Beside him, there was a sturdy man who whispered, "If Deputy City Guard Shi starts fighting, won't Linjiangfang be destroyed?" Young Master Li shook his head and said, "Not really. After all, he is in a high position. Even if he can't suppress his murderous intent, at most he will teach Wuchang a lesson and embarrass him, but he won't kill the current number one genius of Qifeng Mansion in public."

The sturdy man hesitated and said, "Since there will be no physical fight, are you planning to come forward and earn a favor? After all, you are of a different status. If you turn a blind eye, people will remember it..." Master Li laughed, put the wine glass on the railing, and said leisurely: "How can I be qualified? It would be better if my father came!" He pointed to the next street and said, "One of them was the one who once competed with my father for the position. In front of him, I am just a young boy." "The other one is a lunatic who dared to point an arrow at the deputy city lord and kill his two sons. He would not even take me, the son of the city lord, seriously." "There is no way they can live together, a life-and-death feud. How can I be qualified to mediate?" "If I go up there, I'll just be asking for trouble and be laughed at for nothing." "Of course... If I don't go up, I'm just a coward and will allow the situation to escalate... People with ulterior motives, to put it bluntly, will say that my father is a bad parent. In the future, this will be another excuse to prevent me from ascending to a high position." Mr. Li smiled and said, "So, it's best if I'm not here." He reached out his hand, knocked on the sturdy man's head, and said, "I finally managed to hide here, and you still want me to jump into this pit? I really suspect that you are someone sent by the opponent to ruin my future!" The sturdy man couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but looked towards the street next door and said, "Then no one will come forward, and we will just remain in a stalemate?" "Someone has come forward, so the situation is at a stalemate. Otherwise... Deputy City Guard Shi will not allow a junior to point an arrow at his face!" Young Master Li said slowly: "The people from Gaoliu City Guard House are in Linjiangfang. Someone will come to break the deadlock." Just as his voice fell. Then in the distance, a long neighing of a horse was heard! Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a man holding the horse's head a thousand steps away. The steed raised its front hooves and neighed proudly! The man on horseback had already drawn his sword and was looking at it from a distance, sneering and speaking. "Deputy City Guard Shi, if you come to retrieve the heads of two criminals in the name of deputy city guard today, it is against the rules without the corresponding documents!" "The Heavenly Supervisory Department is independent of the City Guard Office and has the power of supervision. If you want to retrieve the head of the criminal, you must inform the Gaoliu City Guard Office in writing, and then convey it to the Gaoliu City Heavenly Supervisory Department's headquarters, enter the Outer South Department, and transfer it to the hands of the New City Inspector!" "If you come here as a father to snatch the head, then you are trampling on the laws of the human race!" Han Zhengyuan was standing a thousand steps away, holding a knife. The edge of this knife is faintly visible and can reach a thousand steps. Pointing directly at Deputy City Guard Shi’s face. Qi Refining Realm! Among those present, there were many people with profound cultivation and people with extremely sharp eyesight, who could see it clearly immediately. General Han, the flag-bearer who had been at the peak of the Essence Refining Realm for many years, had already refined his essence into Qi without realizing it, and reached the level of Qi Refining Realm in the world! "Old thief, if you want to bully the weak, you will lose your dignity." Han Zheng said calmly, "If you want to touch my disciples, you might as well ask my sword first!" "withdraw!" Deputy City Guard Shi raised his eyes to glance at the two wooden cages, turned his horse's head, and suddenly headed to the other side. Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

The deputy mayor of the provincial capital! In terms of status and position, he is even one level higher than the city guard of Gaoliu City! Moreover, his cultivation level is so high that he ranks among the best in the entire Qifeng Mansion! As a high-ranking member of the human race, he is the backbone of the contemporary world! Faced with such a scene, it ended so abruptly? This made all the people who were looking forward to watching the show feel that it started well but ended badly and was boring. Especially the old man who came all the way from the Inner City's Heavenly Monitoring Department at full speed, he secretly pouted. "I came all the way here to watch the fun, but this is the result?" "..." Lin Yan looked indifferent and put away his bow and arrow. He also knew that this battle might not be won. Even if a fight breaks out, he is ready. The little white ape and the little god were both in the Nirvana egg in the palm of his hand, accumulating strength for him. Coupled with his own attainments in swordsmanship, with the promotion of a large amount of evil spirit, the Bloody Thunder Sword was perfected! After the battle with Xu Dingye, he knew that in Qifeng Mansion, few people could compare with him in terms of swordsmanship! Coupled with the magical power of the golden body, even if he cannot win this battle, he will not be defeated easily. The commander of the Tianjian Division and the Gaoliu Castle Defense Office will not turn a blind eye to this! So in this battle, Lin Yan was not afraid! As Deputy City Guard Shi left, the eyes of visitors from all sides were filled with complex expressions and awe! Arrow pointed at the deputy city defender! Face to face with the high-ranking human leaders at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm! What courage? Even Deputy City Guard Shi had to retreat! What about these people? Looking at the two heads on the top of the city wall, I felt that the awe of this impermanence in my heart seemed to be even stronger! "Deputy Commander Gu!" Lin Yan suddenly spoke and looked towards the top of the city. "Here!" Deputy Commander Gu, fully armored and holding a halberd, stood on the top of the city wall and responded proudly. Lin Yan glanced at the people in Linjiangfang, then looked towards the top of the city wall and said, "Whoever dares to commit a crime will be beheaded!" "Leader!" Deputy Commander Gu said in a deep voice. There was a solemn silence in the field. Even if some people were dissatisfied, they remained silent at this moment. Then, Lin Yan turned his head and looked at General Han, who was looking quite proud not far away. "Disciple Wuchang, congratulations to Master for refining essence into qi!" Lin Yan bowed and said, "Respected General Envoy, please move to Linjiang Division..." "Ah."

Han Zhengzheng sheathed his sword with a satisfied look on his face, thinking, "He is both my Master and the respected General Envoy... Not bad!" He rode his horse into Linjiangsi, then dismounted and walked towards the hall. He looked at Lin Yan and smiled. In the past, this kid was very secretive, and his cultivation at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm almost reached the sky. Now that I have reached the Qi Refining Stage, I have finally surpassed him! It would be better for this kid to take back the name "Old Han" and call him "Respected General Bannerman" instead! "Boy, even though you are at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm and have superb skills, becoming the number one prodigy in Qifeng Mansion, you are still far above Xu Dingye." "But the gap between the Qi Refining Realm and the Essence Refining Realm is like a huge chasm." "One step away, there is a world of difference!" General Han patted his shoulder and said, "Even if you are invincible at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm, you can't compare to the Refining Qi Realm." Lin Yan nodded and said, "I understand." General Han nodded and said, "I understand. It seems that you are not arrogant. You know how to correct your mistakes and restrain your arrogance. You just need to work hard on your cultivation in the future." He reached into his bosom, took out two booklets, and said, "Master has prepared the experience of refining essence into qi, as well as the Three Sources of Qi and Five Elements Refining Treasure Record, all of which will be passed on to you." "..." Lin Yan had a complicated expression, hesitant to speak, raised his head to look at him twice, then looked at the book, and said in a muffled voice: "Again?" "What do you mean by coming again?" General Han was stunned. "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Lin Yan said in a low voice. "Why bother saying something that shouldn't be said?" General Han said leisurely, "But in front of me, you can tell me everything you know." "I have already achieved the Qi Refining Stage." Lin Yan replied. "Not bad, you have made great progress. Don't slack off in the future and keep working hard... Can you say it again?" "I! Qi Refining Stage! I've done it!" Lin Yan said seriously. "..." General Han was silent for a while, then he put the two booklets into his arms and said, "My cultivation has not yet been consolidated, so I will go back first." - Outside Linjiangfang. More than thirty elite cavalrymen headed towards the eastern area of ​​the outer city. The atmosphere was extremely tense at the moment, and the soldiers were extremely angry. "Just retreat like this?" Commander Jing whispered, "It's inevitable..." "Isn't it embarrassing?" Deputy City Guard Shi laughed and said calmly, "If it were in the past, I would not allow myself to be humiliated like this!" "But my two sons had their heads crushed and hung on the city walls. How can I still have the face to show for it?"

"If I take action today, I will either kill Wuchang, or... I will lose face." He spoke calmly, "But at least you saw what I needed, and that's enough." Commander Jing was surprised and asked, "What do you need? What was it just now in the market?" Deputy City Guard Shi said calmly: "In order to guard against me, Gaoliu City Guard has arranged many 'guardians' around Wuchang... You have not been able to find out clearly so far, how will you arrange it in the future?" Commander Jing suddenly realized: "You just wanted to lure out the people from the City Guard House?" Deputy City Guard Shi said calmly: "We now know roughly how many people the City Guard Office has arranged." "So this is why you came to Linjiangfang?" "No, I was planning to take those two children back, but Wu Chang was unwilling to give in... so it was destined that I could not bring them back." "In fact, if a fight had started just now, with your ability, no one could really stop you, right?" "But what is the reason for going to war?" Deputy City Guard Shi sighed, "Didn't Han Zheng say this when he came? It's against the rules to be the deputy city guard of the prefectural city! And as a father, it's a violation of human laws! If this war starts, no matter what the outcome, there's no way to end it..." He looked behind him and continued, "But now that we know the number of defenders at the City Guard House, this is a big gain, not to mention there is one more gain..." "An extra reward?" Commander Jing was stunned. Suddenly, I saw the grass and trees behind me moving slightly. "alert!" More than thirty cavalrymen drew their swords and pointed at the source of the noise. "Junior Rat, nice to meet Deputy City Guard Shi." Then an ordinary-looking old man came out from the bushes, bowed and said, "We dare not enter the inner city. We have been waiting for many days. Finally, we have waited for you to come out of the inner city..." He knelt on both knees and kowtowed, saying: "The Twelve Phases of Jie Jin are willing to form an alliance with the deputy city guard to kill Wu Chang and avenge our hatred!" "I will never ally with Jie Jin for the rest of my life!" Deputy City Guard Shi looked down and said calmly: "You come here today to die!" He drew his sword, his face grim. However, the rat laughed and said, "Deputy City Guard Shi has no descendants, but he still cares about the overall situation of the human race. It's really admirable!" "But if that's the case, you should have used your true energy earlier, instead of drawing your sword and pretending to avoid being noticed by the Guantian Tower!" "If the overall situation is the most important and personal vengeance is secondary, then you should not want to kill Wu Chang, who is known as the number one genius of the contemporary Qifeng Mansion." "Your mind doesn't seem to be that broad!" Zishu said slowly: "Jie Jin also wants to kill Wu Chang. Although we cannot have an ally, I am willing to give Deputy City Guard Shi some insignificant information to help you achieve your wish..."

He reached into his arms, took out a book and threw it over. Deputy City Guard Shi took the book and glanced at it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Go away. If you show up again next time, I will definitely chop off your head." "Goodbye!" Rat bowed and turned away. "Deputy city guard?" Commander Jing was shocked and angry when he saw this: "That's Jie Jin, the enemy of all human beings in the world!" "Kill Wuchang and put an end to my worries." Deputy City Guard Shi said calmly, "I will come back to kill Bafang Jiejin!" Fourth update, 16,000 words, I've done my best...
