Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 26: The Evil Plan (Part )
Nanyang County,
The county seat is Rang County, the suburbs of the county,
Amidst the vast mountain forests, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. In the distance, rolling hills appeared, while nearby, lush grass and wildflowers dotted the landscape. A clear stream gurgled, its water gurgling, and reeds swaying gently in the breeze.

Boom! !

Yang Lin wore a golden crown, a gorgeous embroidered robe decorated with cloud patterns and woven with gold thread, and adorned with pearls and jade, giving off an air of nobility.

He was tall and strong, with a ruddy complexion and piercing tiger eyes. His gaze was filled with dignity. He rode a one-horned green-maned beast, whose horn looked like it was made of black crystal. Its four legs were thick and strong, as strong as iron pillars, and its hooves were as big as bowls, so the ground shook when it stepped on them.

Behind him were a group of personal guards, all decked out in helmets and armor, wielding sharp blades, their figures erect and their demeanor high and imposing. In front of them were several hunting dogs, their coats gleaming, their teeth sharp and their claws razor-sharp, leaping and galloping with extraordinary agility. This procession, a mighty force, moved through the countryside, startling countless birds in the forest.

When they reached a forest, Yang Lin suddenly pulled the reins, looked around with his tiger eyes, and suddenly waved the whip, making a snapping sound. The hunting dogs in front received Yang Lin's order, barked wildly and rushed into the forest to search for prey.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Yang Lin had raised these hounds since childhood. Each one was agile and intelligent, yet fierce, loyal and brave, and extremely skilled at tracking and hunting. Working together, several hounds could even bring down tigers and leopards. They were Yang Lin's favorites, and he always took them with him on his hunts.

"YoYo……"

Soon, a roe deer darted out of the woods, clearly frightened by the hounds. It was running for cover. Yang Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he quickly unhooked his bow and arrow from his back. With a whoosh, the arrow flew free, and with a whirr of wind, the roe deer fell to the ground.

"Thousand-year-old sharpshooter," the personal guards cheered when they saw this.

Looking at the fallen deer, Yang Lin frowned and said, "Put this deer away for me. We will have a snack tonight."

Hearing about the extra meal, the guards showed their joy: "Your Majesty is so righteous."

"Let's go, walk a little further inside,"

Yang Lin hummed and gently patted the one-horned green-maned beast under his crotch. The green-maned beast growled in its throat like thunder and ran into the forest.

Every time this green-maned beast stepped forward, it seemed to move mountains, causing the ground to tremble continuously.

Since childhood, King Kaoshan Yang Lin had disliked women and loved only horses and hunting. However, after Yang Lin became the governor of Nanyang, he had not gone hunting for a long time.

Nanyang County, one of the most important towns in the Northern Sui Dynasty, straddled the north-south divide and controlled the east-west, making it the most important garrison for Northern Sui troops during their southern campaigns. Yang Lin, stationed at the Nanyang County seat, controlled the Sui troops stationed in Hankou, Nanyang. With his heavy workload, he had little time for hunting.

The reason why Yang Lin brought his personal soldiers to the outskirts of the county to hunt this time was not for fun, but to catch and kill a snake demon that had become a spirit.

This snake demon was extremely bold. Relying on his five hundred years of magic power, he used magic to kill people right under Yang Lin's nose, causing an uproar among the people.

Yang Lin, the governor of Nanyang, naturally would not allow the snake demon to cause trouble, so he called out two hundred personal soldiers and brought the hunting dogs he had raised since childhood to start hunting down the snake demon.

If it were an ordinary general, he might have been gentle and not dared to fight with this snake demon. A demon with five hundred years of cultivation is no longer an ordinary demon.

However, Yang Lin is the Great Yao Jidu from the upper realm who has descended to the earth. He has a vicious nature in his bones. It is okay if you don't provoke him, but once you provoke him, his vicious nature will be unleashed and even the snake demon will have to retreat.

Although the snake demon's magic is extraordinary, Yang Lin's martial arts is even more powerful. He has reached the peak of marrow training and blood transfusion, and he has the star destiny on his body, so he is immune to evil. Ordinary demons and immortals dare not approach Yang Lin within three feet. No matter how strange the spell is, Yang Lin can break it with one stick.

Therefore, Yang Jian quickly drove the snake demon from the county to the suburbs.

"Yang Lin,"

Facing Yang Lin's chilling murderous intent, the snake, its body several dozen feet long, twisted and undulated as it fled in panic through the forest, not daring to even look back at the evil star Yang Lin. Indeed, the righteous Patron King in the eyes of the personal guards was, in the eyes of the snake demon, or rather, in the eyes of most demons, an indescribable terror.

If it weren't so terrifying, with the snake demon's five hundred years of cultivation, it would be about to survive the thunder disaster and become an earthly immortal. How could it be in such a miserable state?

If someone with good luck looks above Yang Lin's head, they will see a solemn figure dressed in black clothes and a star crown on his head. Behind him is a circle of spiritual light with various colors, and his soul is dragging behind him like a star-shaped tail. He is coldly staring at the panicked and helpless snake demon.

Without any magical powers, just a glance from the Yuanshen Dharma Image itself was enough to scare the snake demon out of its wits.

This is the true nature of the Lord of the Falling Stars of Jidu God, one of the Eleven Great Stars of Shangqing. As the most evil and fierce god in the upper realm, he has never been a good-tempered being.

You can’t make Him behave in a good manner unless you have the ability of a monkey.

Yang Lin rode the one-horned green-maned beast in pursuit, the sound of its hooves thundering through the forest. The Water and Fire Dragon Prison Rod in his hand emitted bursts of dragon roars.

"Yang Lin, you're so relentless and bullying. Aren't you afraid that I'll sacrifice five hundred years of my cultivation and perish with you?"

The snake demon was truly in a panic, with no clear path to choose. Wherever it passed, the ground looked as if it had been plowed. Rocks were reduced to dust, trees were reduced to grass roots, and some slower-moving rabbits and foxes were simply crushed into minced meat by the snake demon.

Yang Lin sneered, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have chased you this far. You beast, you've used your magic to harm my people. If I don't bring you to justice, I'd be unworthy of being the King of Backer Mountain."

Roar!
The one-horned green-maned beast opened its mouth with sharp fangs and let out a low roar from its throat, like rumbling thunder.

------

Rang County, County Office,
The hurried sound of horse hooves coming from far away broke the tranquility of the county government office.

In front of the county government office, the postman dismounted and stumbled into the government office.

At this time, the postman was covered in dust, with sweat and dust on his face. He looked exhausted, but he was still holding tightly in his hand a bamboo tube with three chicken feathers stuck in it.

"Daxing 3,000 miles express,"

The postman shouted with a hoarse voice, using up his last bit of strength.

The county governor in the county government office suddenly stood up with a sudden change of expression. The county chancellor beside him also stared at the postman in a daze. The entire county government office suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the postman.

Three thousand miles of express delivery, what happened in the court that required the use of an express delivery of three thousand miles?
"Where is the King of Backers?" The postman glanced at everyone and was also stunned for a moment.

As the governor of Nanyang, King Kaoshan's official residence was the Nanyang County Government Office.

Although the real owner of the Nanyang County Government Office was the county governor, in front of King Kaoshan, the actual owner became the deputy envoy.

Nanyang County Magistrate Zhao Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness is not at the official residence. You can first hand over the expedited documents to me, and I will then forward them to the prince."

Seeing the postman seemed hesitant, Zhao Yunxuan emphasized, "I am the prefect of Nanyang County. The prince is away, and I am the head of the county government. If I don't accept the documents, who else would dare to do so?"
