Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 106 Conquest
Duan Anle walked out of the meeting hall with the tea tray, leaving Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing to negotiate with a distinguished guest.

The person sitting opposite the two men was no other than Tie Xishui, the head of the Demon-Resolving Division whom they had met not long ago.

"The tea is good." Tie Xishui nodded with satisfaction and put down the cup.

The grade of the spiritual tea that Master Kang takes out to entertain guests indicates the grade of the guests who have come.

The person in front of him is now the emperor of Pingrong County. Xie Fu acts arrogantly when he meets everyone, but he becomes servile when he meets this person.

Having high cultivation level and good fighting skills is one thing, but more importantly, he has an uncle who is the commander behind him.

Even a fool like Xie Fu knows how to curry favor and flatter, so it is even more impossible for Master Kang not to know about it.

Since this gentleman has taken the time to come, the entire Chongming clan should honor him.

Kang Dabao hasn't figured out Tie Xishui's preferences yet, but he is a cautious person. In order to avoid any unpleasant things from happening, before Duan Anle left, he asked him to tell Mo'er not to go out.

“I heard that Master Kang is interested in becoming the county lord,” Tie Xishui didn’t like beating around the bush, and perhaps he was disdainful of beating around the bush with someone of Kang Dabao’s level.

The waiter had just finished drinking the tea in the cup when he directly pointed out his intention.

Kang Dabao secretly thought that something was wrong, thinking that the aftereffects of the severe beating he had given Xie Fu had finally come to him.

Although Xie Fu was really frightened, he couldn't hide the news and it spread out.

Since then, the story of the Pingrong County Magistrate leading his troops to suppress the Caishi Wang family and being beaten by a small leader recruited by his subordinates has spread to several nearby counties.

In Pingrong County, the incident caused even more uproar.

Xie Fu had a bad reputation to begin with, and now when they heard that he had been beaten, the monks in Pingrong County, who felt that they had been bullied by the Immortal Dynasty in recent years, simply clapped their hands in joy.

Nowadays, there are still a few markets and restaurants and teahouses in Pingrong County, but there are no storytellers telling the story of how Master Kang beat the evil county magistrate.

Kang Dabao was the person who least wanted to be famous, but he became famous anyway.

I guess Tie Xishui was persuaded by Xie Fu because of this incident and came to stand up for him!
Just as Kang Dabao was secretly thinking about how likely it would be for him to survive Tiexi's men if Jiang Qing joined forces with him.

But Tie Xishui said softly: "The elders in the family were very unhappy when they heard the news that Xie Fu was beaten. They wanted to wipe out your entire family."

When Master Kang heard the word "entire family", his brows twitched in surprise, but since Tie Xishui said the word "originally", it meant that things were turning around. He then held down the somewhat excited Jiang Qing and continued to listen.

"But what you said to Xie Fu was not false. Your Patriarch Zhang has indeed made contributions to the country. Your family has indeed deserved the title of the Immortal Dynasty's hawks and dogs in the past years." Tie Xishui said lightly, as if Kang Dabao was not scared and seemed a little bored.

"I would like to thank the adults for their consideration." Kang Dabao flattered at the right time.

"The adults think that since Xie Fu's behavior is so unpleasant, he should just change his job. Don't you want to be the county magistrate? The adults now prefer you to be the county magistrate." Tie Xishui smiled and looked at Kang Dabao with a gloating look in his eyes.

"Well, I am deeply grateful for your support, sir. It's not that I don't want to serve the provincial court, but I'm still seriously injured and I don't have the ability to take on the role of a county parent!" Kang Dabao revealed the wound on his back.

At this time, the horrible wound was half scabby and half pus-filled, which made Tie Xishui frown slightly.

"There is something special about Ge Yangfeng's ancient sword." Tie Xishui took out an ancient sword from his storage bag and said something softly, not knowing if it was meant to scare people.

"I am too lazy to persuade you. You know whether the injury on your body is real or not. Think about it carefully. Don't think that becoming a county lord is a bad thing. Many people died, and many others lived comfortably. As far as I know, the county lord of Tanggu County even slept with a female foundation-building cultivator. A small character like you who has no background and is not cared for by the elders, how many chances can you have to change your fate in this life?"

Tie Xishui stood up and gave Kang Dabao a meaningful look. Before leaving, he said, "If you have made up your mind, you can come to Pingrong County Office to find me anytime."

Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing respectfully escorted him to the outside of the archway, and then returned hand in hand.

"Big Brother, I think there is some truth in what Tiedangtou said." Jiang Qing was somewhat moved when he talked about Tie Xishui's words.

"You are kidding me. You even want to use a female cultivator who has established his foundation to trick me." Kang Dabao shook his head repeatedly. He didn't believe what Tie Xishui said at all. What about the county magistrate and the county magistrate? Master Kang just wanted to be a pioneer of the revival of the country in peace and stability.

"The second brother will be back soon after attending the meeting in the county. When he comes back, we can discuss and see what other industries we can develop in Chongming. This is what I think, you see."

The moon shines into the water and everything is quiet.

"Huh." Pei Que had just come out of the room where he was training his robot puppets. He was a little tired from the sparring from sunset to the third watch of the night. He walked outside the courtyard, hoping to catch some breeze to wake himself up. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a limping figure coming in.

"Why haven't you slept yet, kid?!" Yuan Jin, who was covered in blood, asked with his eyes wide open.

"Second Uncle! What happened to you? I'll go call my uncle to see your wound." Pei Que hurriedly supported Yuan Jin.

"Be quiet and don't shout. The blood belongs to someone else. Go and ask the head brother first, then call your uncles to discuss the matter. Keep your voice down and don't cause a commotion." Yuan Jin instructed again.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

half an hour later
Kang Dabao collected the unfinished zombies. The previous fierce battle with Ge Yangfeng made him quite interested in practicing the "Wangshan Zombie Refining Method". He relied too much on the Golden Eyes, and his methods were a bit simple. If he could refine Zhao Gu's zombie, even if it was only half as powerful as the black-haired zombies of the same level under Ge Yangfeng, it would be a great help to him.

Master Kang picked up the sleeping turtle lying on the ground and put it into the curtain on the bed. Then he opened the door of the cloud room. At this time, the four junior brothers and Pei Que were already standing outside.

"Yes, go back and rest first."

"Hey, Master." Pei Que was full of doubts and left the yard and returned to his own courtyard.

"Everyone, sit down." Although the spacious meeting hall had been repaired, the fellow disciples were still accustomed to meeting in Kang Dabao's small cloud room, and each found a shabby cushion to sit on.

"Isn't the meeting held because the new Pingrong County Magistrate has died? How did it turn out like this?" Kang Dabao admired the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Hu Jiang, who dared to become the County Magistrate even after three of his predecessors had died in a row.

He's just a county magistrate of a lower county, who is above the ninth rank. After all, you, Hu Jiang, are the leader of the Qingzhu Gang and have some weight in Pingrong County. Is it that serious?
Yuan Jin said calmly, "Xie Fu also died at the meeting."

"It's okay as long as it's not you who did it." Kang Dabao tapped the small table lightly with his fingers, feeling a slight sense of satisfaction in his heart, but not too much surprise.

There are many turbulent things happening in Yunjiao Province nowadays, so the death of a county lord who was at the second level of Qi training is not a big deal.

"It wasn't me, it was Foundation Building." Yuan Jin was a little scared when he recalled it. "Xie Fu was talking about something in the meeting at that time, and I didn't listen carefully. Suddenly, someone stood a hundred steps away and just raised his hand and pointed. Xie Fu, Zhai Le, and the two late-stage Qi training masters sitting at the top of the table were blown away on the spot."

"Building the foundation," Jiang Qing murmured.

"Two leaders of the Demon-Snatching Division who were in the late stage of Qi training, is Tie Xishui dead too?" Sect Leader Kang did not feel sad for Zhai Le, a familiar face of his, but was somewhat concerned about Tie Xishui's life or death.

Many officials have died in Pingrong County in recent years, but those assassins have always been Qi-cultivating cultivators. If top Qi-cultivating cultivators like Tie Xishui are dead, then they must be foundation-building cultivators without a doubt.

If a foundation-building assassin really appeared, does it mean that the conflict between Liangyi Sect and Yunjiaozhou Court will escalate again in the near future?

"No, I heard that he went to Jingnan Prefecture." Yuan Jin waved his hand.

"This guy has such good luck!" Zhou Yixiu felt a little envious. He had heard Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin talk about how sharp Tie Xishui's methods were before. Who would have thought that Pingrong County Government suffered a sudden disaster, but Tie Xishui, who had been living here all the time, was fine. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Then junior brother, how did you get injured?" Pei Yi asked. He could see that Yuan Jin had some injuries on his body.

"The people from Lord Bo's Mansion came very quickly. The one who was building the foundation ran away halfway through the attack on the county government office, so I ran away too. On the way back, we happened to run into a group of bandits. They were a bit difficult to deal with, and it took some effort to kill them all." Yuan Jin said, taking out a bunch of storage bags of varying ages. "Here, some of the things are pretty good, brothers, take a look too."

"Why did the topic suddenly shift to the meeting to divide the spoils?" Kang Dabao frowned and was about to say a few words when he found something he had been looking for.

"Hey, this piece of withered vine is in pretty good condition. Keep it. If it can be used for zombie sacrifice in the future, keep it for now."

If the situation continues like this, Chongming Zong will not be short of storage bags for a long time.

But this trend doesn't seem right.
"These are turbulent times, and there are still people behind us who may die." Zhou Yixiu sighed. Production-oriented cultivators like him hate turbulent times the most. The scene of his embarrassing escape from Xuanwei City is still vivid in his mind.

The five brothers were talking halfway when Kang Dabao's face changed, and he moved his fingers, sending a sound transmission note into the cloud room.

"Come out and see me!"

The five brothers looked at each other, and Kang Dabao led the four of them to the sect's small cloud and mist formation. A bearded man wearing black armor stood outside the formation, holding something in his hand that was dripping with blood.

"It's the foundation-building one!" Yuan Jin exclaimed. Kang Dabao was a little confused. He wasn't sure whether he was talking about the one who was being lifted or the one who was being lifted.

But this is not important. Let's open the formation first. The red light formation cannot stop the foundation building. Kang Dabao suddenly felt that he had spent his money in vain.

"Greetings, senior." The five people bowed respectfully.

"Are you Kang Dabao?" the big man pointed at Kang Dabao and asked.

"I am indeed Kang Dabao." Kang Dabao replied nervously.

"My name is Tie Liuyun," Kang Dabao felt a little relieved after hearing these words. This famous commander of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau had a good reputation and he would not drag out and execute the entire clan of Chongming Sect over a disagreement.

Hey, did the fact that I was secretly making zombies not get leaked out?
"The villain who killed the magistrate and lieutenant of Pingrong County has surrendered." Tie Liuyun held the still steaming head in front of Kang Dabao's eyes. The strong smell of blood was so strong that even Kang Dabao could hardly open his eyes.

"Iron Commander has eliminated harm to the people. I, the younger generation, will be grateful to the entire Chongming clan on behalf of everyone."

"Let's not talk about those empty words. Didn't you say before that you could be a county magistrate? Well, you pick one and be the one." Tie Liuyun took out two bloody square seals and stuffed them into Kang Dabao's hands.

"Gudong." Master Kang swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth, and was about to refuse, but found that he could not make a sound.

But when will it be your turn to manage the personnel arrangements of Pingrong County in Yunjiao Prefecture?
It took him a long time to prepare a draft in his mind. Kang Dabao bravely glanced at Tie Liuyun's red eyes, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The head of Kangda suddenly understood Hu Jiang a little
