I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 53 Uncollectible Spiritual Power, Government Troops Deployed
Standing on the high platform, Wang Yueyao looked down at the dark mass of people and wiped the dirt off her face.

"I'm sure you all know me, my name is Wang Yueyao, and I live at the west end of the village."

"This is... Yueyao?"

"Yes! This is the girl from the Wang family at the west end of the village."

"How dare she go on stage?"

"Hehe, if we're being forced to our deaths, what else are we afraid of?"

Anyway, that damn village chief is probably dead for sure this time.

Wang Yueyao's appearance immediately sparked a discussion among the audience.

After the discussion subsided slightly, Wang Yueyao continued to speak.

"My elder brother and my mother were beaten to death by this old dog's men because they couldn't pay the rain-seeking tribute. If I hadn't been away from home that day, they would have been beaten to death too."

The crowd below fell silent; they were naturally aware of this matter.

Listening to Wang Yueyao's accusations and recalling the village chief's past actions, everyone felt a surge of anger rising within them.

As Wang Yueyao made her accusations, the crowd below the stage was gradually enraged, especially since the neighborhood chief and his family had already been tied up.

So, as soon as Wang Yueyao stepped down, someone else immediately went up on stage.

Next, everyone went up on stage to accuse the neighborhood chief's family of their misdeeds.

In the end, the crowd was so enraged that they shouted for the village chief and his family to be killed.

In that instant, everyone's emotions resonated deeply, instantly creating a spiritual force field that enveloped an area of ​​over a hundred meters.

The moment he was enveloped by this power, Wang Dahu felt that the [Soldier] Heavenly Status in his consciousness space suddenly trembled slightly.

Unseen forces were devoured and quickly transformed into the malevolent aura of soldiers surrounding the heavens and earth.

Although the [Soldier] Heavenly Status in Wang Dahu's consciousness space can only devour spiritual power related to it.

However, this trial was presided over by Wang Dahu.

Therefore, even though the people are currently targeting the village chief's family, deep down they still harbor many emotions directed at Wang Dahu, which naturally involve related spiritual forces.

Under normal circumstances, these spiritual forces would dissipate into the air and could not be captured or transformed by Wang Dahu's Heavenly Status.

However, now that the audience is emotionally connected and a spiritual energy field has been formed, the situation has changed.

Although this spiritual power is not much, when nearly a thousand people gather together, it becomes quite considerable.

In just a few breaths, the murderous aura of the soldiers surrounding Wang Dahu's Heavenly Rank more than doubled.

It's important to know that during these days of training, they were in a military training ground.

Therefore, Wang Dahu's military aura accumulated quite quickly, even though he had consumed a lot of it from trying to use his supernatural powers.

However, the remaining military aura he possesses still allows him to unleash his supernatural powers seven or eight times.

But now, it has doubled in a short time, how could he not be overjoyed?

However, he was somewhat unclear as to why this was happening.

Could it be the murderous intent of the people below?
Having already held the status of a celestial being for some time, they were naturally able to perceive the changes in the accumulation of the soldiers' murderous aura.

Outside of military camps, while a soldier's aura can certainly be enhanced, the rate of increase is negligible.

However, when in a military camp, especially during training sessions, a soldier's aura of menace increases rapidly.

After discussion, everyone felt that since their celestial status was "Soldier," they were more suited to the identity of a soldier when they were in the military camp or training ground, and thus could accumulate military aura more quickly.

But now, Wang Dahu's military aura had suddenly doubled, which naturally puzzled him.

The only thing Wang Dahu could think of that was related to "soldiers" was probably the murderous intent that erupted from the crowd below the stage.

However, I don't understand the reason behind it.

However, it is always a cause for celebration that soldiers' fighting spirit is increasing.

And when people are happy, they naturally need to kill some people to add to the fun.

A smile appeared on Wang Dahu's face. He swung his arm, and the large cleaver on his back flashed with a cold light, instantly slicing across the village chief's neck. At the same time, he roared:

"kill!"

"Swish swish swish"

"Puff puff"

With each flash of cold light, heads rolled off.

The village chief and his family all perished together.

In an instant, the crowd below the stage erupted in cheers.

"Good! Well done!"

"."

Immediately afterwards, everyone bowed in the direction of Wang Dahu to thank him for avenging them.

Unfortunately, although Wang Dahu's military aura increased again, it contained more spiritual power of gratitude. Even though it gathered around Wang Dahu, it was not used by him and gradually dissipated into the world.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Bird and Mouse Mountain, Wang Chao sensed the primal spiritual power continuously emanating from the [Soldier] Heavenly Status within his consciousness space, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret. He discovered that the primal spiritual power transferred from Wang Dahu was merely the spiritual consciousness related to soldiers, armies, and battles.

Even if he manipulates the celestial bodies remotely, he has no way to absorb the other vast spiritual power.

"Oh~!"

Finally, Wang Chao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, closing his eyes with a heavy heart, feeling as if he had lost a hundred million.

Moreover, it's not just Wang Dahu who will suffer losses.

The same thing might happen to the other three villages, Wang Shi, Li Shu, and Wang Erniu.

That's three times the loss! How can that not be heartbreaking?
Whenever he thought of this, a look of grief would involuntarily appear on Wang Chao's face.

"Chief, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seemingly noticing the change in Wang Chao's expression, Wang Sanshun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but step forward to ask.

"Hmm, it's nothing. I was just thinking, when will this drought end? The people are suffering so much."

"Alas, natural disasters are secondary; the main problem is man-made disasters. Those corrupt officials really don't want to leave us a single grain of rice."
This is probably why Heaven favored the leader, allowing him to travel beyond the universe and comprehend the profound truths of the world.

Our goal is to have our leader lead us to kill all those corrupt officials and overthrow this decadent Ming Dynasty.
I believe that under the leader's guidance, we will surely have a better future.

"Hehe, things will definitely get better and better for us."

Wang Chao chuckled softly, gazing at the blazing sun rising in the east, and muttered to himself.

Then, Wang Chao came to his senses and said with a smile:

"I wonder when Da Hu and the others will be back, and how much they'll bring back."

"Haha, they're sure to return with a full load!"

"Yes, I think so too."

Thinking about his gains, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile.

In Weiyuan County, a rider quickly arrived in front of the county government office. The rider dismounted and hurriedly shouted:

"Quickly! Inform the county magistrate that the bandits from Bird and Mouse Mountain have come down the mountain!"

After a chaotic scene, Li Wenshu quickly summoned Chen Ying.

"Commander Chen, you are now aware of the situation. Please set off to suppress the bandits as soon as possible."

Li Wenshu stood at the head of the table. Although he used the word "please," his tone and demeanor conveyed an arrogant and condescending feeling.

Even though Chen Ying was a trial centurion, his rank was sixth grade, which was one level higher than Li Wenshu's.

However, he didn't think much of Chen Ying, and even though he needed him now, he still showed a hint of arrogance.

Although Chen Ying below was somewhat displeased, he did not show it. Instead, he bowed very respectfully.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, now that these bandits have left Bird Rat Mountain, I will surely wipe them out in one fell swoop."

There was nothing that could be done; by the late Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials had far surpassed that of military generals.

Even though he was slightly higher in rank than the county magistrate, he always treated him as a subordinate in their daily interactions.

Watching Chen Ying retreat, Wu Chang couldn't help but say with some concern:
"Your Excellency, do you think Chen's camp can wipe out those mountain bandits?"

"This should be pretty close to the truth."

Those bandits are nothing but starving, lowly commoners. The moment my Great Ming army arrives, won't they flee at the mere sight of me?"

Thinking of Wu Ping's crushing defeat and capture, Li Wenshu hesitated.

However, thinking back to those bandits, they only managed to defeat Wu Ping and the others by chance because they were familiar with the environment of Bird and Mouse Mountain.

Now that they have left the familiar environment of Bird and Mouse Mountain, how can they possibly be a match for the army?
Well, now that Chen Ying's army has undergone 10 or 20 days of training, it can be considered a semi-regular army, right?
Therefore, Li Wenshu quickly became convinced that Chen Ying would definitely be able to wipe out those mountain bandits.

The instant Li Wenshu finished speaking, Wu Duoyun on the other side gritted his teeth and said:
"That's right, those are just a bunch of damned lowly people."

Once the Ming army arrives, they will surely wipe them out and capture their leader, the dynasty.

"When the time comes, I'll make sure he suffers a terrible death, I'll cut him into a thousand pieces and mince him into meat paste."

Looking at the confident expressions of Magistrate Li Wenshu and Registrar Wu Duoyun, Wu Chang felt a little worried. Was it really that easy?

However, he could do nothing else now but hope that Chen Ying could wipe out those mountain bandits and, best of all, rescue his younger brother Wu Ping.

Even if Wu Ping is a good-for-nothing, he is still his brother from the same mother, and he still cares about him very much.

On the other side, after leaving the county government office, Chen Ying immediately went to the military camp outside the city to gather his men and head towards Bird Mouse Mountain.

In fact, if he hadn't been afraid that the bandits wouldn't dare to come down the mountain because they were afraid of the government troops, he would have already led his troops to garrison near Bird and Mouse Mountain.

However, it only takes about a day.

He didn't believe that those undisciplined rioters could break through villages with guards and servants in less than a day.

Moreover, according to the information gathered, the bandits seemed to have split into four groups to attack four villages, making it even less likely that they could breach the villages in a short period of time.

As for how to determine this...
If even their officers and soldiers couldn't do it, then those rioters certainly couldn't either.
