Chapter 112: Yinshi Town!
He Yan accompanied Lu Xuan, having already arrived at the entrance of the Profound Bird Guard’s residence.
"We greet the honored Xuan Envoy and Deputy Envoy!"
Outside the residence of the Profound Bird Guards, two exceptionally strong white horses were held by a man.
Amazingly, atop the moon-white horse heads was a delicate pale blue fur, appearing mysterious and noble.
"Sir, these two are Shen Fengjuns, a type of mutated beast capable of traveling a thousand miles in a day."
"According to the journey from the prefecture city to Fenglin County, in less than a day, sir, you should reach the border of Fenglin County."
All the way, He Yan spoke non-stop, introducing the situation in Fenglin County to Lu Xuan, as well as the two steeds at the entrance.
"By the way, Honored Xuan Envoy, there are a few Profound Bird Guards in Fenglin County right now,
It’s Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard Yao Feng, along with two human-level Profound Bird Guards by his side."
"Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard Yao Feng?"
When checking the Profound Bird Guard tasks yesterday, Lu Xuan had seen this name.
Lu Xuan remembered, this seemed to be a critical mission.
Ten days ago, the prefect of White Dao Prefecture sent someone to inform the Profound Bird Guards.
In Silverstone Town, Fenglin County, supernatural occurrences had appeared, resulting in several deaths.
Thus, Li Chengfeng classified this incident as a critical mission and released it.
It was then taken by the Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard Yao Feng, who, with two human-level Profound Bird Guards, headed to Silverstone Town in Fenglin County.
Seeing that it was a critical supernatural occurrence and there were already people going to resolve it, Lu Xuan didn’t pay it much mind.
Exterminating a critical supernatural occurrence only yields around fifty points.
For Lu Xuan, it has to be a ferocious-level extraordinary supernatural occurrence to be of significant value to him.
As Lu Xuan spoke with He Yan, they had already arrived in front of the two Shen Fengjun horses.
The man holding the two Shen Fengjuns was Zhao Sheng.
At this moment, Lu Xuan stopped and inquired of He Yan: "Deputy He, is Yao Feng, the Yellow Envoy, still in Silverstone Town?"
"Yes, sir. I just sent a message by carrier pigeon to him, telling him to remain hidden in Silverstone Town to see if those two mythical beasts will attack Silverstone Town."
"If traces of those two mythical beasts are found, he is to immediately send a message by carrier pigeon to you."
"The pigeon I sent out just now has already memorized the aura of you, sir."
"Very good."
Hearing that He Yan had everything arranged, Lu Xuan responded with satisfaction.
Then, Lu Xuan turned his head, speaking to Zhao Sheng who was holding the horses.
"Zhao Sheng, have you been to Fenglin County before?"
Hearing Lu Xuan’s inquiry, Zhao Sheng answered without hesitation: "In response to the Honored Xuan Envoy, this humble one has been to Fenglin County several times."
"Very good!"
..........
Fenglin County, Silverstone Town!
Silverstone Town is located at the border of Fenglin County and is one of the county’s famous large towns.
In the mayor’s residence of Silverstone Town, in the main hall, several figures were present.
Seated in the main seat was a middle-aged man, approximately in his fifties, with his black hair already interspersed with strands of silver.
The middle-aged man’s face appeared weathered, with a neatly trimmed short beard adding a touch of maturity and stability to his look.
Of course, the most eye-catching was the middle-aged man wearing a cyan blue Profound Bird robe, which appeared imposing and mysterious.
And he was the Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard, Yao Feng.
In front of him sat three people, including two young individuals, a man and a woman, who were the human-level Profound Bird Guards he brought along for training.
There was also another middle-aged man in the hall, appearing similar in age to Yao Feng, who was the mayor of Silverstone Town.
At present, the mayor wore a fawning smile, seemingly very respectful towards Yao Feng.
As for the reason, it was of course because Yao Feng was a martial artist of the Blood Refining Realm!
"Yesterday, thanks to Mr. Yao’s intervention, Silverstone Town has returned to its former peace."
"I have a small token to offer to you, sir. Please accept it."
"Someone!"
"Bring it in!"
As the mayor of Silverstone Town finished speaking, five or six sturdy servants appeared at the door.
With strained expressions, they collectively carried a heavy wooden chest into the room.
Subsequently, the mayor of Silverstone Town went forward and threw open the large wooden chest.
The contents of the large wooden chest were revealed to everyone’s sight.
At a glance, it was filled with all sorts of dazzling gold, silver, and jewels.
"Mr. Yao, this is my humble offering, please accept it if you deem it worthy."
Although a trace of pain flickered in the mayor’s eyes, his face was plastered with a fawning grin.
He was making a significant sacrifice today, offering nearly a quarter of his treasure.
He presented it to the important figure from the prefecture city, with his own subtle plans in mind.
This revered figure’s background was such that even the county magistrate had to attend to him with the utmost respect.
Moreover, he had witnessed the abilities of this revered figure over the past few days.
If he could form an alliance with him, his future prospects would undoubtedly be limitless.
Bang!
The next moment, a loud slap on the wooden table echoed, causing the mayor of Silverstone Town to tremble.
"Hmph!"
"No need, Qiuyu, Fu Jun, let’s go!"
Upon seeing what was in the chest, Yao Feng’s previously calm face instantly turned furious.
He then rose, ignoring the mayor’s alarm, and left the hall with the two young Profound Bird Guards.
The mayor of Silverstone Town had no inkling that Yao Feng, whom he sought to curry favor with, was a man of integrity.
Yao Feng couldn’t tolerate officials who embezzled and exploited the people.
However, there were so many corrupt officials that Yao Feng felt a sense of despair.
He had personally executed several such corrupt officials, but in the end, Yao Feng realized.
He couldn’t kill them all!
It was simply impossible to kill them all!
The new officials that came in, more often than not, turned out to be just another breed of corrupt officials.
Hmph!
These damn corrupt officials!
Once outside the mayor’s residence, Yao Feng’s anger finally subsided.
"Master, calm your anger. You needn’t be angered by those corrupt officials."
It was at this moment that a female voice sounded.
The voice belonged to the young woman named Wu Qiuyu beside Yao Feng, who appeared to be around twenty-six years old.
"Forget it, there’s no need to mention this again!"
"Since the task is complete, you two will follow me back to the prefecture city right away."
"The martial arts competition is nearing, with your Bone Marrow Refining Realm skills, you both have chances to secure top-three rankings."
"The top three rewards include heavenly and earthly spiritual objects, which can be of significant help to you both."
Seeing his disciple speak, Yao Feng refrained from further thoughts on the matter, instead recalling the Profound Bird Guard Martial Arts Competition happening in half a month.
