If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 170: Level 6 of Confusion, Beheading

The originally bustling scene in the spacious government compound was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stopped toasting and chatting, and stood still like frozen wood.

Especially a few officials and gangsters, the wine glasses in their hands dropped to the ground, spilling the wine everywhere.

There were also several high-ranking officials from various forces pouring wine. At this moment, the wine was full and overflowed onto the table, but they didn't notice it.

They all stared at the scene blankly, with a hint of horror in their eyes.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you drink with me?"

Shen Bai took out a handkerchief beside him and gently wiped the wine stains on his hands.

Zui Wujiang felt a chill on his forehead, and then he saw the wine jar shattered, and the clear wine flowed down his hair, along his cheeks and chin, and dripped onto the ground.

The whole process happened so quickly that even he didn't react.

At this moment, Zui Wujiang was staring at Shen Bai blankly, his face full of disbelief.

"you you……"

Just now, Shen Bai hit him on the head with a wine jar, and Shen Bai looked at him with contempt in public, and said words that made him feel ashamed.

He is not worthy of drinking with Shen Bai.

These words kept spinning in his mind, causing a surge of rage to surge from his entire body.

Who is he?
He is drunk without boundaries.

He controls everything in the Zuijian Sect and is a well-known force in Nanxing Prefecture.

Even though this force is not very powerful, he has an older sister who is a distinguished person in a Beijing-level city.

With this sister around, he felt like a fish in water in the prefecture-level city and was very happy.

But now, someone actually threw a jar of wine in front of him, and the people present were all well-known figures in Lanxing Mansion.

Seeing such a scene, Zui Wujiang felt not only ashamed and angry, but also filled with deep anger.

What made him angry was that Shen Bai didn't give him face.

His original intention was to take this opportunity to show his superior attitude and let Shen Bai say a few polite words, so that his Zuijianmen would be more stable in Nanxing Prefecture.

Especially when he thought that Shen Bai would definitely drink the wine out of respect considering the power behind him, while he only needed to take a sip.

By then, if this scene were to be spread out, others would think that the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi had become a powerful aid to the Zuijian Sect.

In this way, Zuijianmen can live more comfortably in Nanxing Prefecture, and some people will even think that Zuijianmen is above Jiantiansi.

But today, Shen Bai's actions made Zui Wujiang extremely angry.

"Shen Bai, don't be shameless."

Zui Wujiang didn't know why, but driven by anger, he took his jar of wine and poured it on Shen Bai's head.

Since you, Shen Bai, don't give me this face, then I don't need to give you face.

Don’t you like to throw the wine jar on my head? Then I will throw it on your head and see who loses face first.

Zui Wujiang's action immediately made everyone present change their expressions.

Several high-ranking officials of underworld forces secretly cursed their ignorance.

Especially Dongfang Li, his face was extremely gloomy at this moment.

He is the prefect of Nanxing Prefecture, in charge of the people's livelihood affairs of Nanxing Prefecture. He can be said to have a noble status.

Having been in officialdom for many years, he is well aware of all the essentials of officialdom, otherwise he would not have been able to get to this position.

In front of everyone, Shen Bai smashed the wine jar on Zui Wujiang's head. Although everyone saw it, they didn't dare to say anything.

But if you, Zui Wujiang, want to fight back, then where is the face of the Great Zhou Kingdom?

Although you, Zui Wujiang, have the power of a Beijing-level city behind you, it is not a reason for you to do this so blatantly.

This is courting death.

"presumptuous!"

Dongfangli shouted coldly, raised his index finger and prepared to attack.

He planned to capture Zui Wujiang.

As for the power behind Zui Wujiang, he can't care about it now.

First, take down Zui Wujiang, and then make everything clear. Then the outcome will naturally come out.

But at this moment, before he could make a move, Shen Bai took action first.

Shen Bai raised his index finger and flicked it slightly. A stream of Qi shot out along his index finger, smashing the wine jar into pieces.

At the same time, Shen Bai clenched his fingers into a fist and punched Zui Wujiang in the chest.

The golden Buddha light was so dazzling that in just a moment, everyone felt a terrifying pressure coming towards them.

The next moment, Zui Wujiang flew backwards, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

There was a hint of horror in his eyes. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at Shen Bai tremblingly, his face full of disbelief.

"You've humiliated me in front of so many people. Do you really want to kill me?"

With just one punch, Zui Wujiang was seriously injured.

His strength at the Unity Realm was like an ant in front of Shen Bai, which could be crushed to death with ease.

He could feel that Shen Bai exuded an extremely strong cold murderous aura, which made him tremble all over and unable to suppress the fear from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Bai turned his hand back, put it behind his back, and said calmly: "Everyone, bear witness. In broad daylight, attacking the head of the Tianjian Division is a crime of treason and is unforgivable."

Since he has taken action, Zui Wujiang must bear the consequences.

As soon as he finished speaking, a three-meter-tall golden body of Dharma rose up behind Shen Bai and punched towards Zui Wujiang.

Zui Wujiang was seriously injured at this moment, and even moving a little caused him to feel excruciating pain all over his body.

Facing the huge fist looking down at him, a foreboding of death emerged in his heart and instantly filled his whole body.

He was scared because he felt that Shen Bai really wanted to get rid of him.

Thinking of this, Zui Wujiang quickly began to beg for mercy.

"Please, let me go, I was wrong..."

He didn't finish his words because Shen Bai's fist had already fallen.

The terrifying fist force combined with the three-meter-tall golden body of the Dharmadhatu brought a terrifying pressure to Zui Wujiang.

There was a roar.

The three-meter-tall golden statue of the Dharmadhatu brought down its fist heavily.

Zui Wujiang didn't even have a chance to fight back, and was smashed into pieces by the fist of the Dharmakāya Golden Body. He was deader than dead.

From the time Shen Bai made his move to the end of the battle, time passed extremely quickly.

When everyone came to their senses, they saw only a corpse on the ground.

Because this scene happened so quickly, many people didn't even react.

Shen Bai picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands gently, then looked at the two constables standing beside him.

"Throw this body out. Also, have someone go tell Master Zheng of the Heavenly Supervisory Department that they've assigned a mission: capture all the members of the Drunken Sword Sect alive within three days. If they can't capture them alive... that's fine too."

There was a sense of indifference in Shen Bai's words.

But when everyone present heard it, they kept frowning.

Dongfang Li smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect Lord Shen to be so decisive. But if Zui Wujiang is killed, I'm afraid the troubles that will follow will be huge."

"After all, Zui Wujiang has connections in Beijing-level cities."

Many underworld forces also nodded immediately.

In addition to awe, there was also a hint of concern in their eyes when they looked at Shen Bai.

After all, these underworld forces are close to the official forces of Nanxing Prefecture. To be frank, the people here are all their own people for the time being.

When Shen Bai was talking to them just now, he was humble and gentle, which made them feel a little good about him.

Shen Bai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Treason is a capital offense. It doesn't matter what power he has behind him. Even if he comes to Nanxing Mansion, he must bow his head and behave himself."

Before coming here, Shen Bai and Mu Lao said that if anyone came to cause trouble for him or even disrupted his plans, he wouldn't mind killing the other person, like now.

If we don’t kill it, are we going to keep it for the New Year?
Dongfangli continued, "Anyway, Lord Shen, please be careful along the way. I'm worried something might happen."

Shen Bai nodded without saying anything more: "Come on, let's drink. Nothing makes people feel happier than having a drink together."

After saying that, Shen Bai took out a wine glass, poured himself a glass, and then raised the clear liquid in the glass.

Although this major incident happened, Shen Bai, as the person involved, felt fearless, and other people naturally would not take it seriously.

The corpse had been pulled out long ago. Shen Bai felt that the surrounding environment was not bad. This trip took nearly two hours.

By the time we finished the meal, it was almost evening.

Shen Bai felt it was a waste that he had wasted so much time without improving his proficiency in the Heart-Confusing Spell.

So he bowed and said goodbye to Dongfangli and others.

The purpose of this trip was to make some acquaintances. The other party wanted to know what Shen Bai's attitude was when he came to Nanxing Mansion. Shen Bai would also need to rely on them to provide some convenience in the future.

There won't be long delays between either.

It didn't take too long to return from the government office to the house where the Astronomical Supervisor lived.

After Shen Bai returned to the five-story building of the Jiantian Division, he lit the oil lamp on the table, looked at the empty fifth floor, and said something to Amber beside him.

"come in."

Amber always looks like a cat-eared girl. She sits next to Shen Bai, holding Shen Bai's arm, with a peaceful and happy look on her face.

Now, after suddenly hearing what Shen Bai said, he chose to merge without saying a word.

She also wanted to do something for her master, and now was the perfect time.

As the amber disappeared and turned into white light, Shen Bai began to work hard silently.

The proficiency in the Heart-Confusing Spell began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Confusion Mantra plus 3+3+3]

Triple the proficiency may seem like a small amount, but over time, it becomes a lot.

The multiple addition will also become extremely terrifying.

The night was very long, and during this night, apart from Shen Bai who was working like crazy, many forces in Nanxing Prefecture were like frightened birds, and began to quickly pack up the valuables in their homes.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

That night, those forces that colluded with the Gao family began to suffer terrible blows, and huge changes occurred almost overnight.

That night, many members of the Tianjian Division, under the leadership of their respective team leaders, began to arrest and eliminate these forces.

They received Shen Bai's order that if they encountered resistance, they would kill them on the spot.

And they also resolutely carried out the orders.

The originally chaotic and corrupt Nanxing Prefecture is now restoring order at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a secret room far away from the center of Nanxing Prefecture.

At this moment, more than ten people were sitting around a round table.

This house is located in a remote area. Few people can find it on weekdays, and even fewer people are willing to stay in this house.

After all, from the outside, the house looks dirty and dilapidated.

At this moment, the ten people gathered around the round table were dressed differently, but each of them exuded a powerful aura.

Sitting in the main seat was a man in yellow clothes.

The man has an intimidating aura, like the deep ocean.

After looking around, his tone was serious and solemn.

"Shen Bai, who came from Maple Forest State, has taken office. His first act was to bring down the entire Gao family that had colluded with me. Furthermore, upon hearing that Dongfangli was hosting a banquet, he directly killed Zui Wujiang of the Drunken Sword Sect. The entire process was done without any hesitation, and his actions were extremely ruthless and decisive."

Having said this, the man fell silent and looked around, as if waiting for answers from the people around him.

On the man's right sat a pretty woman.

The woman was playing with the teacup in her hand. After hearing the man's words, she stopped what she was doing and said slowly, "He is a tough guy, but at most he is only at the Tongmai realm. People say that he is able to overcome adversity. Even if he can do so, he is only at the Nifa Heyi realm. As for the higher Huaxu realm, it is impossible for him to reach it. There is no need to be afraid of him."

After the woman finished speaking, the others all nodded silently, as if they agreed with what she said.

The leading man turned and shook his head slightly upon hearing this. "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the news he spread alone is enough to shock me. Even if this person's strength is quite low, he can't be kept alive if he has such means."

After these words were spoken, the remaining participants nodded.

The woman put down her teacup and asked, "Do you mean to attack him immediately? I'm afraid that's not very convenient. The guards in Nanxing Prefecture are more strict than we imagined. Killing Shen Bai in the city is definitely not a simple matter."

The man sneered and said, "It's certainly not easy to get rid of him in the city, but what if he's no longer in the city?"

Across the round table, an old man with white hair and beard frowned.

"You mean to lure him out of Nanxing Prefecture, but that's incredibly difficult. With his strength, he definitely won't want to come out easily. It's too difficult to seize the opportunity."

"Yes, you are right. If we want to seize the opportunity, we must lure him out of Nanxing Mansion. But how do we lure him out?"

Next to the old man sat a fat man, who nodded after hearing this.

"If it's a small matter, the people from the Heavenly Monitoring Department can easily resolve it. If it's a major incident, it's not easy to cause a big incident, and it feels like trying to cover up one's mistakes. Tell him that we are deliberately leading him away."

In fact, everyone present had considered what the man had just said. If they could really lure Shen Bai out, it would be very easy to kill him.

But it is extremely difficult to lure it out.

The man nodded and said, "This matter is not your concern. I will naturally find a way. Just take a look at this."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a thumb-sized sword from his bosom.

The long sword flashed with a cold light, as if it would be unsheathed at any moment and take someone's life.

The woman who answered the question first widened her eyes slightly after seeing this thing.

"Sword of Disaster, this strange artifact is extremely precious. Are you willing to take it out?"

The so-called sword of disaster, when inserted into a place, will immediately melt and disappear, and cause a great disaster.

For people in the industry, it has enough deterrent effect, let alone ordinary people, the deterrent effect may be even stronger.

The leader shook his head and said, "Of course I know the benefits and preciousness of this item, but compared to killing Shen Bai, all of this seems insignificant. As long as we can completely kill Shen Bai, there is no harm in using it. It's just that we can't take action on this matter."

"It just so happens that I have an insider in a county town, so I'll use him to solve the problem."

After these words were spoken, everyone weighed their thoughts in their hearts for a few times, and then nodded in unison.

"No problem, this method is feasible. If we really want to make the Tianjian Division helpless and get Shen Bai out of here, only this method has enough weight."

Small disasters are useless, but huge disasters must be reported to the higher authorities. Given Shen Bai's position, he also needs to rush out to check it out, otherwise he would be incompetent.

The man holding the small sword nodded, put it back in his arms, and then said, "The ten of us must unite as one. This time we must capture Shen Bai and take his life first."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and said nothing else.

Only the woman on the left asked, "What's the specific date and time?"

The man slowly said, "I have patiently discussed this strange object with you. If you want to activate its effect, it will definitely take three days. Three days is not too long or too short, but it is actually more than enough."

Three days?

Everyone thought about it for a moment, then nodded in unison.

This amount of time is indeed enough for them.

"By then, we will simply find a good, dark location to hide in, and just wait for Shen Bai to arrive before launching our attack."

Only people like them knew how significant a chain reaction Shen Bai's arrival had triggered.

They are not decent people, but well-known figures among the evil forces.

The worst ones are the elders of the local evil forces.

Like men and women, these two guys are the leaders of the power.

If Shen Bai came to Nanxing Prefecture and turned out to be ordinary, they would not want to take the risk.

The key is that according to Shen Bai's current situation, if it takes too long, I am afraid they will all be found out and then defeated one by one. After all, what Shen Bai did is really terrifying.

Having made up their minds, everyone present left one by one.

Soon, the room fell into absolute silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

……

In recent days, the atmosphere in Nanxing Mansion has become increasingly solemn, and this solemn atmosphere all comes from one person, the newly appointed Shen Bai.

Ever since Shen Bai took office, the Nanxing Prefecture's Sky Supervisors have been as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and have wiped out many of the surrounding evil forces at an extremely fast speed.

Those evil forces had been living a comfortable life, but with the commotion in the past few days, they all became nervous and frightened.

The previous Director Si had complicated dealings with them, so they had been making some noise in Nanxing Prefecture from time to time. Now that they have lost the protection of the previous Director Si, they are like a small boat in the sea, and they may capsize at any time.

Many evil forces hate Shen Bai because they know that all this is caused by Shen Bai's arrival.

At this moment, Shen Bai had no idea what they were thinking, as he had sunk into a state of overwork and couldn't extricate himself. Since Shen Bai had told the members of the Tianjian Division that they didn't need to report everything to him, he had been living a very leisurely life during this period.

When I had nothing to do every day, I would follow a specific pattern and work hard to improve my proficiency in the Heart Sutra.

After this period of crazy hard work, Shen Bai's proficiency has also improved significantly.

As for the Gao family, dozens of other family forces were also uprooted by the Tianjiansi.

Now the entire Nanxing Prefecture has been completely stabilized by Shen Bai.

At least all the remaining internal forces left by the previous director of the Sifu should be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Today, unlike any other day, is a big day for the people of Nanxing Prefecture.

That is what the Tianshi Division wants to do: behead people.

The ones to be killed were naturally the Gao family and more than a dozen other family forces.

They secretly colluded with the previous director of the Sifu Mansion to seek benefits and exploit the people. Now it is finally time for them to be brought to justice.

In this registration room, Zheng Xing found Shen Bai and asked Shen Bai whether it was a secret execution or a public beheading.

This is very important and must be reviewed by Shen Bai.

In this regard, Shen Bai's opinion is to directly behead the person publicly, because many people in Nanxing Prefecture secretly hate the captured family forces.

Taking this opportunity, in addition to being able to destroy these family forces, we can also help the people regain their previous hope.

Therefore, the Astronomical Bureau cooperated with the government office and decided to behead him at the Nanxing Prefecture vegetable market after noon today.

"Master Shen, the time is almost up, you can go out now."

Outside the door, the voice of a member of the Tianjian Division was heard.

Since the two organizations are collaborating, Shen Bai and Dongfang Li will naturally be present.

After all, this is the first cooperation in a long time, and it also demonstrates the sincerity between both parties.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Give me another stick of incense. You guys go wait outside first."

"Yes, Lord Shen."

The members of the Tianjian Division said respectfully.

He quietly left and closed the door of the room.

Because of Shen Bai's act of delegating power, the members of the Tianjian Division in Nanxing Prefecture are now quite respectful to Shen Bai.

After all, there are very few people who can achieve this.

Shen Bai didn't care about anything else. He only knew that he had to prevent any trouble in Nanxing Mansion and give himself as much time as possible to improve his proficiency.

In front of Shen Bai's eyes, the smoke curled up and gradually gathered into the attributes of the Heart-Confusing Spell.

【乱心咒lv.5（清心+16，平性+16，加持+16，不侵+16，乱心+16）：15000/15000】

During this period, Shen Bai has been working non-stop to improve his proficiency.

Shen Bai's crazy efforts brought him a huge harvest.

Not to mention anything else, the current Heart-Confusing Spell is about to reach the sixth level.

All this shouldn't have happened so quickly, but Shen Bai possessed amber, which could increase his proficiency bonus by three times, so he naturally made extremely fast progress.

"Now it's time to see the effect after level six." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Then, he had an idea, and the smoke in front of him disappeared, turning into a line of text that appeared in front of him.

[Confusion Mantra Level 6 (Purity +32, Calmness +32, Blessing +32, Invulnerability +32, Confusion +32, Destruction +32): 0/20000]

When the Confusion Spell reached the sixth level, Shen Bai once again discovered that blurry scenes appeared around him.

He had experienced this kind of situation too many times and was able to remain calm.

As the scenery turned from blurry to clear, he found himself on a vast plain.

The plain is quiet and as deep as the sea.

The sky is dark, the night is shrouded, and the twinkling stars give people a sense of tranquility.

In this environment, the phantom sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the darkness and tranquility in the sky, in a state of calmness.

As the shadow raised its head, the originally calm starry sky suddenly became stormy.

The rain falls from the sky to the earth with the help of strong winds.

The earth was wet by the rain, stirring up pieces of mud.

The originally quiet sky seemed to be disturbed by someone and became turbulent.

At this moment, the rain in the sky seemed to be directed by someone, constantly condensing a cold atmosphere.

Each drop of rain turned into a terrifying monster in the air and swooped down towards the shadow.

It was extremely fast and arrived in front of the phantom in just a blink of an eye.

The shadow didn't move at all, just looked up at the group of weird people, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

A piece of text was slowly recited by the phantom, like immortal text from the sky, and suddenly magnified.

The countless strange creatures that were swooping down suddenly stopped where they were.

Then, under the effect of the words, it turned into flying ashes all over the sky.

This scene appeared very quickly and disappeared very quickly.

The strong wind disappeared, the heavy rain disappeared, and the night sky became quiet again.

The twinkling stars seem to symbolize peace and sleep.

Shen Bai witnessed all this and felt a surge of enlightenment throughout his body.

Then, the surrounding scenery became blurry again.

When he regained consciousness, Shen Baibai found himself in a room on the fifth floor.

"One pen and one word can kill the enemy invisibly."

A large amount of information entered Shen Bai's mind. After Shen Bai took some time to absorb all the information, he opened his eyes.

"Good stuff, it's worthy of being a sixth-level magical power. It finally gives the Heart-Confusing Spell direct killing power." Shen Bai thought to himself.

After reaching level six, the Confusion Mantra gains a destructive attribute in addition to doubling the previous attributes.

The previous mind-confusing spell did not actually have direct killing power. It was more like an auxiliary that could help him calm his mind, increase his combat power, and confuse other people's minds.

However, disturbing other people's minds will not kill them directly, it will only shake their state of mind.

And now, there is an additional destructive spell. As long as it is within this range, no matter who it is, when Shen Bai recites the chaotic heart spell, it is enough to destroy a person's soul.

This is not an attack from the outside, but a destruction of the inner self. Even if you can resist it with all your might, it can still cause terrible damage to your soul.

In the future, if Shen Bai recites the mantra of confusion, it will not only be able to bless and disturb the enemy, but it can even produce extremely powerful lethality.

And this magical power has evolved from an auxiliary magical power to an offensive magical power.

"Very good, very good." Shen Bai's mouth corners rose slightly.

This free combat power once again raised his strength to a higher level.

Not only that, since reaching level six, the Qi in Shen Bai's body has also undergone a qualitative change.

The golden color spread to the five meridians. At this moment, Shen Bai only needed three meridians to completely reach the state of unity, and the distance was not far.

"So, after I come back, I will start working on the next magical power." Shen Bai thought to himself.

He has no time to waste now, after all, he is about to watch the beheading.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai's heart moved.

"Amber, come out."

Amber drilled out of Shen Bai's body, turned into a stream of light, and changed into a human form. It hugged Shen Bai's arm and rubbed Shen Bai's shoulder with its fair face.

Shen Bai smiled, then rubbed Amber's cat ears. He felt very happy and went out with Amber.

……

Caishikou, located on the east side of Nanxing Prefecture, is a most remote place.

There are indeed not many people coming to this place on weekdays, but there are also many people watching here.

When people are watching, it is also the most lively time here.

The reason is simple: this place is specially used for beheading.

No matter how peaceful a city is, there are always some people who commit crimes. If the crimes are serious, they will be taken to the vegetable market for execution.

The Great Zhou Kingdom has always taken beheading very seriously.

They allow the public to watch. In fact, the purpose is very simple, which is to let the public know the consequences of committing a crime, so as to deter those people with potential to commit crimes.

Today, for the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it is an extremely lively scene.

It's much more lively than before.

Because nowadays, there are so many people who are to be beheaded that it makes people dizzy.

Moreover, each of them was considered a prominent family in Nanxing Prefecture before this.

One after another, the former nobles became prisoners at this time, kneeling on the execution ground with dejected faces.

The arrest of the Gao family triggered a series of follow-up events, which resulted in many families being uprooted.

The Tiantian Division and the government office cooperated with each other to deal with people according to their crimes. Those with minor offenses would be imprisoned for a very long time, while those with serious offenses, such as the dozens of people mentioned above, would be sentenced to death.

The executioner was sharpening his knife, and there was a large jar of wine next to him.

This executioner is also a member of the same profession, so the profession he is in is naturally called executioner.

Anyone who practices cultivation needs them to execute them.

After all, the people they chopped down were completely dead.

This is also the special feature of the executioner's profession.

At this moment, a large group of high-ranking officials from Nanxing Prefecture were already sitting on a platform not far away.

Dongfangli sat in the middle seat, with an empty seat next to him.

Everyone was looking around, as if looking for someone in an empty seat.

There was a hint of anticipation on everyone's face, as if they were looking forward to the next person to appear.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a young man appeared at the execution ground holding a beautiful cat-eared girl.

Seeing this, the constables around the execution ground immediately ordered the people to make way.

Shen Bai walked along the empty road with the curious Amber, and then sat next to Dongfangli.

"Sorry, I had some things to deal with, so I'm late." Shen Bai said.

Dongfang Li smiled and said, "Master Shen has just arrived in Nanxing Prefecture, so he naturally has important matters to attend to. We all understand this. Now that the time has come, let's get down to business first."

At this time, business is important and there is no need to reminisce about the past. After all, there are a group of prisoners kneeling below who are about to die.

Shen Bai looked at the token on the table and said, "How about Master Dongfang throw this card?"

When the token falls, it will be time to chop off the head, so Shen Bai doesn't want to do it himself, it can be regarded as a favor to Dongfang Li.

After all, this matter is a credit no matter how big or small it is.

Dongfang Li shook his head and said, "Lord Shen has just arrived in Nanxing Prefecture and has already apprehended so many serious criminals. Naturally, Lord Shen should take on this most important step. I am not a greedy person. Lord Shen is thoughtful and I thank you in advance."

The implication was that Dongfang Li accepted the favor, but there was no need for Shen Bai to refuse it.

Shen Bai smiled and nodded, "In that case, I'll do it."

As he spoke, he picked up a token on the table but did not throw it down.

Next to him, a constable stood up with a letter in his hand. He opened one of the pages and read it aloud.

"Gao Yun, the head of the Gao family, colluded with the previous head of the Si Mansion during his tenure, and colluded with evil forces. He is guilty of the death penalty!"

This is a process, and it doesn't mean that you can just chop people off. Naturally, the people must know what these people have done wrong.

Gao Yun knelt on the ground with a gloomy face, staring at the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

He regretted why he did these things in the first place. He never thought that one day he would end up like this.

Shen Bai waited until the constable finished reading, then threw the token in his hand to the ground.

The executioner held the ghost-head knife, took a sip of wine, sprayed it on the blade, removed the sign stuck behind Gao Yun, and raised the ghost-head knife.

The machete reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Gao Yun seemed to sense the approach of death. He suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Mercy, mercy..."

Before he could finish his words, the knife fell.

As the ghost-head knife fell, a head flew up, blood spilled, and rolled to the ground.

The people were in an uproar, feeling both nervous and excited.

Some people who had been oppressed even smiled happily.

"Good kill!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, the people shouted one after another.

Shen Bai smiled and then picked up another sign.

The next process is the continuous swinging up and down of the ghost-head knife.

Shen Bai also witnessed the various aspects of life.

Some people were in a state of daze before they died, some glared angrily, and some were so scared that they wet their pants.

In the face of death, all beings are equal.

Every knife strike takes a life, but every person who dies is not worth dying ten times.

Beheading is a very quick thing, but before being beheaded, each person has to repeat the crime he has committed, so it naturally takes a long time.

By the time the last head fell to the ground, it was almost afternoon.

The people did not disperse, but looked at the headless corpses with excitement.

Shen Bai withdrew his hand and said, "Lord Dongfang, now that the matter is over, I'll leave it to the constables of the government office to clean up the mess."

This matter started with Shen Bai, but when it came to the end, it still had to be handled by the government office. After all, the beheading at Caishikou was ultimately carried out by the government office.

Dongfangli nodded and said, "No problem, just leave it to me."

Shen Bai nodded and planned to take Amber away first.

After tasting the sweetness of the sixth-level magical power, Shen Bai planned to continue to work on other magical powers. If he improved a few more of them, he would be able to achieve greater improvement and be closer to the state of unity.

With his ability to overcome adversity, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in Nanxing Prefecture by then.

Dongfangli knew that Shen Bai had just arrived in Nanxing Prefecture and must have a lot of things to do, so he had no objection to Shen Bai leaving first.

After all, being able to hold the position of a prefect, Dongfangli naturally understood the ways of the world, so he said a few polite words.

"If you are free in the future, Lord Shen, please come to the government office often. We can drink and reminisce about the past. This kind of affection will naturally develop over time."

Dongfangli had studied the official system very thoroughly, otherwise he would not have been able to climb all the way from the bottom to the position of governor of this prefectural-level city.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "If I have time, I will definitely come to the government office and drink with Lord Dongfang until dawn."

Having said that, he decided not to stay long and turned to walk towards the position of the Heavenly Supervisor.

Recently, he has been thinking about whether to buy a house in Nanxing Mansion.

After all, judging from the situation, we will have to stay in Nanxing Prefecture for a while.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Bai decided to forget it.

He already has a house to live in, and it's right in Jiantiansi, so it's very safe and there's no need to buy one outside.

Although he is rich, he doesn't have to waste it like this.

Around, the detectives dispersed the people again, making way for Shen Bai to leave with Amber.

On the way back, nothing happened.

Shen Bai was just about to have dinner on the street next to the Jiantian Division and then go back to work all night.

But he never expected that before he reached the street, he heard hurried footsteps.

Shen Bai looked back and saw a member of the Tianjian Division walking towards him quickly.

There was a hint of anxiety on the face of the member of the Tianjian Division. When he saw Shen Bai, his eyes immediately lit up and he quickly approached.

Shen Bai rarely saw such anxious emotions, and then frowned, thinking that it would be better to wait for the members of the Tianjian Division to approach before speaking.

"What happened?"

He once said that there was no need to report to him unless it was something important.

But now it seems that something big must have happened.

As expected, a member of the Heaven Monitoring Division wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, this is bad. For some unknown reason, a large number of disasters have suddenly occurred in one county. Floods, fires, and other natural and man-made disasters have become extremely frequent."

"The county magistrate couldn't handle it, so he reported it to the Tianjian Division in the state-level city. They sent people to investigate but found nothing. They thought it was most likely the work of a demon from the Jianghu. We sent people there too, but there was no sign of anything either. So we came to consult with you, sir."
