Chapter 202 Mutation
On an official road in Huanglongfu.

The official road, which was originally relatively clean, was now covered in blood, with dozens of corpses lying on the ground.

One of the corpses, which looked like a Taoist priest, was particularly eye-catching.

A young man slowly put away the long knife in his hand.

He glanced at the body on the ground.

Now that it has played a sufficient role, it is time to die.

All in all, he had allowed the Taoist to live one more month.

Taoist Fazhen should actually thank him.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly.

The evenly matched situation between the Huanglongfu Lingzhou Army and the Demon Sect was largely due to his efforts.

For the current Shenfu Sect, the best situation is for Lingzhou and the Demon Sect to remain in a stalemate.

So Bai Yuan led the elite troops of the Divine Mansion Army to act as a human balancer, and they would kill whichever side was stronger.

Of course, the Lingzhou army that had previously participated in the siege of Shenfumen would naturally receive special care.

Ouyang Hua's long stay in Shenfu Mountain was certainly not in vain. He had already figured out the list of the Lingzhou troops stationed in Shenfu Mountain.

This list also became the death list of the Shenfu Army.

Now, except for Yan Dong who was hiding in Changshou Palace, all other enemies have been killed by Bai Yuan.

Since he had promised Ruan Xiulua and others to take revenge, he could not go back on his word, not to mention that Bai Yuan had always been the most active in things like killing.

At this time, a group of people emerged from the woods beside the official road.

Yu Hui glanced at the body of Taoist Fazhen on the ground, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Although Master Fazhen only broke through to the level of barely perceptive at the age of seventy, which was the weakest level of perceptive, he was still a powerful perceptive master after all. However, Bai Yuan killed a powerful perceptive master with only three sword strikes, as if he was killing a dog. This was too terrifying.

"Master, everything has been cleaned up."

He could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

This time the assassination of Taoist Fazhen was a deliberate plot, the purpose of which was to make it impossible for Taoist Fazhen to escape.

More than a hundred elite Lingzhou soldiers led by Taoist Fazhen were all killed by them, including Taoist Fazhen himself.

He was naturally very happy that his great revenge had been achieved.

After that night, the Shenfu Gate was chased by the Lingzhou Army like a stray dog, but now the offensive and defensive situation has been reversed.

All this is because of the young sect leader in front of him.

One person killed the four top masters on the Heavenly Ranking. This record is really terrifying.

Bai Yuan said calmly: "Let's go."

Once Fa Zhen dies, the entire Lingzhou will probably be in chaos for a long time.

In this world, it is always easier to start a business than to keep it. In order to keep their fortune, the Shenfu Sect had to be led by the Lingzhou Army and was passive in every way.

But now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and Lingzhou has also tasted the pain of being ambushed.

Bai Yuan's various methods were originally carried out in secret, and the current chaotic situation gave him unlimited room to maneuver.

Even if the prefect and the Lord of Changshou Palace came, they would not be able to confine him in the wild.

Playing dirty?

He is the immortal ancestor of Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan looked at the panel with a smile on his face.

It turns out that people grow fastest in troubled times.

But within a month, the Blood-Bloody Knife showed signs of a breakthrough.

"Give me more!"

[In the 713th year of your training in the Blood-Rolling Knife, your knife skills reached a bottleneck.]

[In the 835th year of your training in the Blood-Rolling Knife, your knife skills have reached a bottleneck.]

[In the 915th year of your training with the Blood-Rolling Knife, you have mastered the second move of the knife technique, Blood Breaking!]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Sword Ghost, Boxer, Soul Cooker, Skin Painter]

[Skills: Blood-Rolling Knife (Master), River-Breaking Knife (Legend), Return to the Mountain (Legend), Demonic Spirit Attraction (Legend), Thousand Faces Kung Fu (Legend).]

[Strength Points: 0]

It took Bai Yuan nearly a thousand years to finally figure out the second move, and his Blood Rolling Knife even broke through to the master level in one fell swoop.

破血
As the second move of the Blood-Rolling Knife, its power naturally cannot be bad.

After comprehending the blood-breaking skill, every time Bai Yuan swings his sword, it will have the blood-breaking effect.

This blood-breaking technique uses the sword's intent to draw the enemy's qi and blood throughout the body, causing it to become chaotic and greatly reducing its strength. If it encounters a weaker opponent, the opponent will not be able to resist the qi and blood in his body and will explode and die before Bai Yuan's sword even falls.

The effect is quite overbearing.

Combined with the blood-burning effect, one strengthens and the other weakens, the opponent becomes 30% weaker before the fight even starts, which can be said to be a complete advantage.

Bai Yuan was quite satisfied with the effect of breaking blood.

It’s a pity that the Lingzhou army was almost killed, and it was difficult to find someone to test the sword against.

another side.

Liu Kanshan's face looked terribly gloomy.

The body of Taoist Fazhen has been transported back to Huanglong Mansion.

Zhenren Chunyuan, who was killing enemies outside, has also rushed back. He looked at the corpse of Taoist Fazhen and made a gesture with a sad face.

Liu Kanshan said in a low voice: "It's those bugs from Shenfu Gate."

Experienced mountain people all know that the most dangerous things are not wolves, tigers and leopards, but those invisible poisonous insects.

The hidden gate of the Divine Palace is where those poisonous insects are.

The vicious means that Lingzhou used to deal with Huanglong Mansion were planned by him personally. He never expected that it would come back to haunt him now.

The person from Shenfu Gate who took action was extremely skilled, and no trace could be found at all. He was obviously a master.

Unless you spend a lot of effort searching the mountain, there is almost no solution.

But given the current situation in Lingzhou, it is impossible to mobilize so many people to search the Shenfu Gate. Master Chunyuan recited a few words from the Supreme Sutra of Rescue, just to help his junior brother to transcend.

In fact, he did not agree to get too involved with Lingzhou.

Although the Changshou Palace has close ties with the imperial court, it has always followed a path of tranquility and inaction for thousands of years.

However, his senior brother, the Palace Master, insisted on having his own way, so he had no choice but to obey.

But now that Taoist Fazhen has died in battle, it is inevitable that he will feel disheartened.

Unfortunately, given the current situation, it is almost impossible for Changshou Palace to escape, and his senior brother, the Palace Master, will not retreat.

"Everything is fate."

Master Chun Yuan sighed.

The young Taoist priest Yin Xi found a piece of clean cloth to wrap up the body of Taoist Fazhen, and under the arrangement of Taoist Chunyuan, sent it to the Changshou Palace.

The Taoist priests in Changshou Palace must naturally be buried back in the palace. This has always been the rule of Changshou Palace.

Yin Xi carried Fa Zhen's body and left Huanglong Mansion without looking back.

Brother is right, the world of martial arts is indeed dangerous.

He originally went south to avenge Taoist Kaiyang, but the current situation is pointless. Even Uncle Fazhen was chopped to pieces. He would definitely die if he went there.

Now Yin Xi just wants to hide in Changshou Palace and never come out again in his life.

It is better to be a lazy Taoist priest than a dead Taoist priest.

Bai Yuan never imagined that he had unintentionally shattered a young man's spiritual aspirations.

Winter of the 40th year of Yuan Ding.

The snow in the north came earlier than in previous years.

The Demon Sect's offensive did not stop at all because of the wind and snow, and even became more and more intense.

A piece of bad news came to Lingzhou.

Lu Xiao, the general of Lingzhou, encountered a powerful enemy and was killed by a strong man from the Demon Sect. The Emperor was grateful for his sacrifice for the country and specially conferred the title of Earl of Bravery and Zhuang on him, and the Lu family has inherited the title from generation to generation.

Seven days later, Lingzhou suffered another misfortune.

The Demon Sect's chaos has gradually been quelled in several states in the northern border, but Lingzhou shows signs of getting worse.

The political enemies of the prefect of Lingzhou would naturally not miss this opportunity.

A young censor from the Censorate seized this opportunity and submitted a memorial directly to the Emperor.

If it were just this one censor, His Majesty the Emperor would naturally not take it seriously.

But what no one expected was that the Minister of War Xu Dingchun actually spoke up for reconsideration.

His Majesty the Emperor had already felt guilty towards the former General Zhenbei, so he immediately demoted the Lingzhou prefect to Lingnan.

If Lu Xiao were still alive, his fate would definitely not be much better than that of his old rival.

Being an official is like this; your ups and downs are just a matter of one person’s words.

This is also the reason why the prefects and generals had not taken action against the Shenfu Sect before.

The Lingzhou prefect was confident that he had strong means and destroyed the Shenfu Sect without bloodshed, but he also lost his official position because of the backlash from the Shenfu Sect.

The new Lingzhou prefect took office soon.

And the new prefect happened to be Jiang Yan's father.

"Sister Jiang, congratulations."

Lu Shanshan forced a smile and looked at Jiang Yan. She was the first to come and congratulate him after hearing the news.

"Sister Jiang"

Lu Yu was about to congratulate.

But under Jiang Yan's murderous gaze, he could only say angrily: "Captain Jiang, congratulations."

Jiang Yan already had a high status in the Jiang family, and now his father was the prefect of Lingzhou, and he almost had the final say in Lingzhou.

Compared with the previous Lingzhou prefect, Jiang Yan's father's methods were much gentler.

Of course, it’s mainly because the Jiang family has a strong enough background.

The favor from the old Minister of War alone was enough to ensure that the newly appointed Governor Jiang would not be easily brought down by his political enemies.

In fact, the previous Lingzhou prefect also lost unjustly.

If the Minister of War Xu Dingchun had not spoken up, at most he would have been fined some salary, but he would never have been demoted.

Now everyone in Kyoto is wondering who could have asked General Xu to speak.

You have to know that Xu Dingchun has been guarding the northern border for many years and rarely forms cliques, so this is even more curious.

Jiang Yan squeezed Lu Shanshan's little hand and said, "Sister Lu, I'm sorry."

Lu Shanshan pursed her lips and said, "Sister Jiang, I will return to Lingzhou tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Yan shook her head: "Father asked me to stay in Huanglong Mansion."

She originally came to Huanglong Mansion for the Divine Mansion, but now after searching for several months, she still has no clue.

Her father asked her to stay in Huanglongfu not to let her continue looking for the Divine Mansion, but Lingzhou was too close to the Beiyuan battlefield, and Huanglongfu was safer in comparison.

Both Lu Yu and Lu Shanshan showed envy in their eyes.

They were from the Lu family. Although they were not as good as the Jiang family, which had produced a second-rank official, they were not bad either.

But the warmth of the Jiang family made them feel sad.

The Lu family always puts profit above everything else, so no matter if they are legitimate or illegitimate children, once they are useless they will be directly discarded by General Lu.

On the other hand, at the Jiang family, Jiang Yan’s father let his daughter stay behind in a safe place.

In this contrast, the Lu family's cold-bloodedness is even more obvious.

Especially the illegitimate son Lu Yu.

So when Lu Xiao died in battle, he and Lu Shanshan were not too sad.

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yan with a playful smile again.

"I wonder if Captain Jiang is interested in meeting my brother Bai?"
