I have a city in another world

They worked until dark, and the officers were exhausted and sweating, but no one dared to be lazy or slack off.

When the workers finished work and went home and the night shift was about to arrive, the officials began to test them cautiously.

After taking a few steps, stand still and sense carefully to see if there is any abnormal airflow in the body.

If there is inflation, they will stop immediately and will never move forward.

Otherwise you’ll turn into a human balloon, with your internal organs squeezed and displaced, and then explode with a "bang".

After careful sensing, nothing unusual occurred, which made the officers breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they received promises, they still did not dare to believe them completely, for fear of being deceived and played tricks.

Having been involved in official circles and witnessed too many intrigues, I always remain cautious in everything.

Immortals are high above, so it is natural for them to play with ants.

The officials judged others by their own experience and thought that practitioners might be the same, so they were always worried.

After confirming that there were no problems, the officers were overjoyed and moved forward step by step.

Although he was sure there was no problem, he still didn't dare to act rashly, but instead moved forward step by step.

This strange posture made the group of workers very curious and they couldn't understand what was going on.

It felt like there were nails under my feet, and I had to take every step very carefully to avoid getting pricked by them.

Facing the workers' gazes, the officers had gloomy faces and refused to offer any explanation.

In the past, the angry and humiliated officials would have shouted and dispersed this group of civilians who made them feel embarrassed.

But in this place, they really didn't dare to be too presumptuous, lest their behavior anger the Immortal Master.

Just hold your anger and wait for the opportunity to retaliate severely.

After leaving the dyeing workshop and returning to the sandy road, the officials immediately ran towards the government office.

Although everyone was tired and hungry at the moment, no one cared about it. Instead, they wanted to report the news as soon as possible.

Reporting to the county magistrate of this city is not to ask him to send troops to attack, but to make preparations in advance.

There is an immortal master in the city, and we don’t know what his intentions are. This matter must be taken seriously.

If they conceal the truth, they will definitely be punished in the future and become the unlucky ones who have to take the blame and be punished.

After the news is reported, how the county magistrate should deal with it is not something his subordinates need to worry about.

This matter must also be reported to the higher-level provincial government immediately, and the sect to which the two monks belong must be notified.

Although it has not been confirmed, the officials all have a guess that Tang Zhen is the target that the cultivation sect is looking for.

If this is true, the importance of this matter will be escalated, and the cultivation sects will also take the initiative to participate in this matter.

This happening at one's doorstep is actually a disaster rather than a blessing. Once a fight breaks out, it is very likely that innocent people will be harmed.

However, ordinary people have no choice in this matter, even the county magistrate has no choice.

The officials returned to the yamen and hurriedly found the county magistrate to report what had happened.

The county magistrate was overwhelmed upon hearing this. He never expected that such a big thing would happen in the dilapidated town he was in charge of.

But I can't decide how to deal with it.

I was afraid of doing something wrong and incurring the wrath of the practitioners, and then my whole family would be in trouble.

The city's officials and yamen runners can only intimidate ordinary people and are like rats in front of practitioners.

He was an official from another place and was sent here because he offended someone. His future prospects were bleak.

Now that this incident has happened again, it is really adding insult to injury, and the sorrow in my heart is like a spring.

If something really happens, don't count on these local officials to save you, as they will most likely flee at the first opportunity.

When an official from another place dies, a new official will come to fill the vacancy, and the officials will continue to work and eat under whomever they work for.

The county magistrate was worried and decided to wait and see how the situation developed before making a decision.

A group of officials from the provincial capital did not eat at all, but hurriedly mounted their mounts with dry food and water.

They had to return to the state capital as quickly as possible to report the matter instead of staying in this dangerous place.

If something unexpected happens, or if the county magistrate has other ideas, they will definitely be affected.

The wisest choice was to leave as fast as possible. A dozen officials rode their horses and galloped along the streets of the city. Before long, they rushed to the front of the city gate.

The officers in charge of guarding the city, plus a group of officers carrying guns, did not dare to block the road and stop the cavalry.

Looking at a group of provincial officials who left as if their butts were on fire, everyone was curious about what happened.

But not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard again.

The group of officials who had just left came back, all covered in dust and dirt.

When everyone saw this scene, they were extremely confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Looking at the expressions of the group of officials, they were all looking towards the city gate, with deep fear in their anger.

They gathered together to discuss it, then controlled their horses to change direction and galloped again along the road out of the city.

Such strange behavior made everyone at the city gate look confused and they couldn't understand what was going on.

Could it be that he forgot something and wanted to go back to the city?

But why didn't he enter the city? Why did he show that strange expression, as if he was full of fear and uneasiness?

As everyone was secretly wondering and discussing the reason, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves again.

As expected, accompanied by the roars of people and the neighing of horses, the group of officials came back again, and this time they looked even more embarrassed.

He was covered in yellow sand, as if he had gone through a long journey.

This situation is not uncommon. Whenever there is sandstorm, this is what happens to business travelers on the road.

Everyone looked up at the sky. At this moment, the wind was light and the clouds were thin, and there was no sign of wind at all.

Since the dyeing workshop began to be built, there has not been a single windy or sandy day, and every day has been sunny.

The sand on the official's body must be fake. It must have been blown away by the strong wind. Could it be that both he and his horse got into the sand pile?
Unless there is something wrong with your brain, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.

Looking at the appearance of those policemen, they looked embarrassed and terrified, as if they had experienced something extremely terrible.

They looked at the ruined city gate, trembling all over, and then fell off their horses.

He knelt in front of the city gate, pretending to cry bitterly and begging loudly continuously.

"Master, spare my life!"

"Master, please let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I have a family of seventeen men, women, and children who all depend on me to make money to support the family."

"Master, please have mercy on us ants!"

A group of officials who used to show off their might were now crying bitterly, looking miserable and pitiful.

Seeing this, the people at the city gate were more and more surprised and wondered what had happened.
Not long after, several city officials heard the news and came forward to ask for details.

After asking this question, I realized that not far from the city, one would suddenly encounter a sky full of yellow sand.

If you walk through the yellow sand, you will quickly lose your way, and after going around in circles, you will end up back at the city gate.

This group of provincial officials were unwilling to give up and rushed into the sandstorm twice, trying to find a way to leave.

He was covered with yellow sand and suffered a lot during the process, and was almost swallowed by quicksand.

After trying twice, the officers finally realized that it was the immortal master who would not let them leave.

This abnormal situation where it seems calm but suddenly a violent storm blows up is obviously an extraordinary method that only practitioners can perform.

The officers were already feeling guilty and feared being intercepted unexpectedly.

This is because when they return to the provincial capital, they will definitely report their experiences truthfully, which is equivalent to exposing Tang Zhen's existence.

The officials left in a hurry because they were afraid that Tang Zhen would go back on his word and leave them all in the city.

The thing they were most worried about happened, and the officers were naturally extremely devastated. At this moment, they could only kneel down and beg for mercy and forgiveness.

They were afraid that the Immortal Master would get angry and kill them all.

After learning the truth, the people in the city were quite surprised. They looked at the road outside the city and did not see any signs of wind or sand.

Could it be that this group of provincial officials are lying with their eyes wide open?

Just as I was thinking this, I saw a group of men and women walking in from outside the city, all of them looking dusty and dirty.
