Chapter 110: Profound Bird Guard from Jingtai Prefecture Requests an Audience!
Chapter 110: Profound Bird Guard from Jingtai Prefecture Requests an Audience!
Two fox spirit beasts, covered in deep red fur, paced heavily as they walked in from outside the door.
When they saw the County Magistrate of Fenglin County and the other two, their mouths curled slightly, revealing rows of sharp teeth.
Droplets of bright red liquid continuously dripped from the corners of their mouths onto the ground, as if leftover blood from some meal they had just eaten.
Seeing this, the County Magistrate of Fenglin County erupted with immense strength, forcibly freeing himself from his paralysis.
Just as the County Magistrate of Fenglin County was about to crash into the curtain behind him.
With a gust of wind, one of the fox spirit beasts eerily pounced in front of him.
Swipe!
Under the terrified gazes of the other two, the fox spirit beast raised its massive claw, swiftly slashing at the County Magistrate of Fenglin County.
"Help....."
The County Magistrate of Fenglin County’s plea was abruptly cut short, as he was sliced in half from head to toe by the beast’s sharp claws.
The other two were left in shock, their minds blank, oblivious to the other fox spirit beast that had already appeared behind them.
Half a moment.....
"What happened!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"There’s an attack on the county office!"
Several government officials appeared outside the courtyard of the back hall.
Seeing the mutilated bodies of the officials who guarded the entrance outside, their faces were instantly filled with fear, and they cried out in alarm.
Not long after, all the officials stationed at the county office woke up in shock.
Each of them held a burning torch in their hands.
The torchlight illuminated the entrance of the backyard like daylight.
"Sister, there are still many people outside. Should we eat them all up?"
"Forget it, it’s almost enough, that damned human is catching up quickly."
"If he catches us, we’ll be in trouble."
"Let’s go!"
The group of officials raised their torches high, marching majestically towards the room of the County Magistrate of Fenglin County.
In the next moment, two enormous bodies crashed through the roof and fled into the distance.
"What are these things!"
"Chief, I saw them."
"They looked like monsters!"
"Ghosts!"
"Fox spirits!"
Under the bright torchlight, the officials saw the true form of the two fox spirit beasts.
The originally orderly group immediately fell into chaos, as a cacophony of frightened and panicked sounds erupted.
"This is bad."
"Lord County Magistrate is in trouble."
An elderly Chief Constable mustered his courage and rushed into the house alone.
Inside the messy room, he found the official robes of several county officials, stained with fresh red blood.
However, besides these robes, the figures of the officials were nowhere to be found.
A preposterous thought surfaced in his mind.
Lord County Magistrate, along with the County Captain and the county adjutant, were all killed.
It was done by those two monsters!
Thinking of this terrifying outcome, the elderly Chief Constable quickly ran out of the room.
Then he pointed at a few young officials and urgently said, "You guys, go and report to the Chief Constable immediately."
"Tell them that the officials at the county office have all met with disaster!"
An entire day flew by in an instant.
White Dao Prefecture City Mansion!
Not far from the city gate, the sound of hooves thundered in the ears, each step leaving a heavy imprint on the ground.
Three fine horses, like arrows released from a bowstring, tore through the sky at an astonishing speed, kicking up swirling dust toward the city gates.
The people on horseback wore azure Profound Bird uniforms, their faces cold and indifferent as they ignored pedestrians and shouted loudly.
"Make way!"
"Everyone make way!"
"Profound Bird Guards on duty, all unrelated persons stand aside."
Even the soldiers at the city gate were ignored by them, as they charged straight in without any intention to stop.
"Hey, hey......"
"Who are you guys, daring to barge...... Um..."
A young officer wanted to step forward to stop the three.
But before he could finish speaking, a coarse hand covered his mouth and pulled him aside.
Once the Profound Bird Guards left, the captain of the city gate soldiers let go of the hand covering the young officer’s mouth.
Then, the captain scolded angrily.
"Kid, are you tired of living?"
"If you want to die, don’t take us with you."
"Those are big shots, you’re brave enough to block them."
"Remember the clothes they wore, they’re Profound Bird Guards."
The young officer saw the solemn expression on his captain’s face and realized those were big shots he couldn’t afford to offend.
"Profound Bird Guards?"
He then showed a pleasing smile, bowing and nodding to express gratitude for the captain’s kindness.
"Thank you for saving my life, Captain."
City Mansion Profound Bird Guard Headquarters!
From afar, the Profound Bird Guards who had just rushed into the city gate had arrived here.
Upon seeing the headquarters of the Profound Bird Guard, their cold expressions finally relaxed a bit.
"Are these three Huang-level officers?"
"Why haven’t I ever seen them before."
The man-level Profound Bird Guard guarding the door observed the unfamiliar Huang-level guards at the entrance.
His brow furrowed, seemingly racking his brain over the unfamiliar faces of these Huang-level guards.
"Who are you......"
"We are Profound Bird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture, ordered by the Profound Usher of Jingtai Prefecture to meet Lord Li Chengfeng, please report immediately."
"It’s an urgent matter!"
Upon hearing their words, the man-level guard at the door didn’t hesitate, shouting to his colleagues inside.
"You guys, report to Lord Usher immediately, the Profound Bird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture request an audience."
In the mansion hall, two figures stood, while Lu Xuan sat quietly in the main seat with closed eyes.
Standing in front of him was He Yan, seemingly reporting something to Lu Xuan.
"Lord Usher, there’s half a month left before the Profound Bird Guard’s martial arts competition begins."
"Do you see any areas that need revision here?"
"Martial arts competition?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan opened his eyes, taking the document He Yan handed him.
After a casual glance, he finished reading the information contained within.
It was about a martial arts contest for man-level Profound Bird Guards, used to inspire the younger generation.
First place would receive a low-grade spiritual object, and fifteen valuable medicinal herbs,
Second place would get half a low-grade spiritual object, and ten valuable medicinal herbs,
Third place would get half a low-grade spiritual object, and five valuable medicinal herbs.
"I don’t have time for this, Mr. He, you go ahead and host it."
Lu Xuan showed little interest, waving his hand to give He Yan full responsibility for this matter.
"Lord Usher, only you can host the martial arts competition."
"Because the distribution of spiritual objects is decided by you, Lord Usher."
He Yan expected this response, knowing the unique character of this Lord Usher.
"Is that so?"
Lu Xuan’s brows furrowed at his words, about to make a decision.
Just then, several urgent footsteps sounded outside the hall doors.
Soon, several Profound Bird Guards appeared at the doorway, shouting towards the hall.
"Reporting to Lord Usher, outside are Profound Bird Guards from Jingtai Prefecture, requesting to meet Lord Li Chengfeng.!"
