This Dao Ancestor is too young.

"The Dragon Sacrifice must not be stopped; it is a vow made by our ancestors, how can we break it!"

"The people in the courtyard killed the demon soldiers, violating the agreement of Linhai City. They should be handed over immediately and sacrificed to the dragon."

"Are you still cultivators from Linhai City? Have you forgotten your roots just because you joined the Divine Arresting Sect?!"

......

crunch~

The sound of the door opening was particularly clear at that moment.

The clamor subsided instantly, and all eyes turned to the tall, slender figure stepping out.

His purple robes fluttered, his black hair danced, his face was handsome, and beneath his slender and sharp eyebrows were a pair of eyes that were as deep as an abyss.

Zhang Yuanzhu made no move, simply standing still, and an indescribable pressure filled everyone's hearts.

The young man's gaze swept over the group of cultivators, a grin spreading across his face as he uttered each word clearly:

"You're all so noisy!"

He walked forward leisurely, slowly drawing his magic sword from his hand, his chilling killing intent filling the surroundings.

"Use me as a sacrifice to the snake demon? Come, let me see how you manage to do it."

At this moment, the Demon-Slaying Sword was fully unsheathed, its jet-black blade revealing its sharp edge, and bursts of sword energy burst forth, tearing through the air.

At this moment, the frenzied atmosphere subsided, and some cultivators and mortals began to shrink back in fear.

However, some cultivators stepped out from the crowd, staring coldly at the young man:

"Outsider, your slaying of the Twin Dragon Palace demon soldiers has led to..."

Boom~

A sword light ripped through the air in an instant, carrying layers of air waves and brilliance, and struck down like a meteor.

The enormous head was tossed high into the air, blood gushing from the neck, and a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining died on the spot.

Many cultivators stood there dumbfounded, staring at the corpses on the ground.

How dare he do this? This is Linhai City, where the Divine Arrest Bureau and the City Lord's Mansion have just issued an order prohibiting fighting within the city.

Moreover, the opponent was only at the second level of Qi Refining, so how could he kill a high-level cultivator with a single sword strike?

Even the armored soldiers guarding the courtyard were stunned, and then a series of loud shouts rang out:

"How dare you!"

"How dare you disregard the Divine Arrest Bureau's prohibitions!!"

"Come with us on this journey."

Zhang Yuanzhu casually flicked the blood off his sword, his steps unchanged, without slowing down in the slightest.

He said nothing, yet the roars fell silent. One by one, cultivators and mortals alike began to retreat. Even the cultivators of the Divine Arresting Sect could only feel anger.

No living being dared to step forward to stop them.

The boy carried the Demon-Slaying Sword, walked into the crowd, and walked out of the crowd unharmed.

Clang!

The sword was sheathed, and an indifferent voice echoed through the streets:

"It's just killing a spy from the Twin Dragon Palace, what's wrong with that?"

The group of cultivators remained silent, not uttering a word.

That madman!

You say she's a spy, so she's a spy? How could that be?

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a burly man clad in heavy armor emerged from the end of the street. He first looked at the wreckage on the ground with a bitter expression, and then looked at the purple-clad youth.

What an unruly cultivator! I wonder which lineage he comes from.

"Young friend, Constable Huang summons you. Please come with me."

At the same time, soldiers surrounded the boy, trying to block his escape route.

Before the armored soldiers could even get ready, a deep voice came from the burly man's mouth:

"You all clean up the debris on the ground and disperse the onlookers, both cultivators and mortals."

The soldiers looked bewildered, but dared not say anything and could only follow orders.

Zhang Yuanzhu gave the heavily armored man a deep look, then stepped forward with his sword slung over his shoulder.

"lead the way!"

The burly man nodded and led the boy toward the center of the city.

After they had moved away from Guanglan Street, one in front and one behind, the heavily armored man finally spoke:

"Since you went into seclusion, many cultivators have gathered outside the courtyard. They are dissatisfied with the termination of the Dragon Sacrifice and believe that you are the source of everything."

"Captain Huang has dispatched armored soldiers to guard the area and prevent people from disturbing your cultivation, young friend."

"We meant no harm!"

Zhang Yuanzhu casually rested his arm on the hilt of his sword and lightly touched his forehead.

That's why he was willing to go and meet the top constable.

As they talked and walked forward, the two soon arrived at a mansion.

The mansion was solemn, with simple patterns carved on the walls, and a crimson gate that stood for a full three feet three inches.

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped in front of the mansion, watching the figures going in and out through the small gates on both sides of the mansion, sensing the extraordinary and powerful auras emanating from them.

The boy's brow furrowed slightly:

"The City Lord's Mansion?"

"My head constable is the daughter of the city lord, so the headquarters of the Divine Constables Bureau is naturally located in the city lord's mansion."

The heavily armored man explained.

Then, he took the lead and entered the mansion.

Zhang Yuanzhu did not hesitate at this moment and followed closely behind.

The two walked past pavilions, artificial hills, and exotic plants, finally stopping in front of an ordinary house.

The burly man turned to the side and pointed to the open door:

"Please come, young friend!"

Zhang Yuanzhu lightly gripped the hilt of his sword, strode forward, and entered the house.

Tower~

Upon entering, one is greeted by a long table placed at the head of the table, and behind the table, a woman who appears to be eighteen or nineteen years old.

The woman rested her cheek on her hand, her eyes, as bright as stars, gazing quietly at the boy.

"It's been a few days since I last saw you, and your cultivation has advanced further. It won't be long before you break through to the third level of Qi Refining."

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped in front of the wooden table, his expression solemn.

The other party could see his progress in cultivation at a glance; the gap between them was too great.

Although most of his energy has been focused on condensing magical runes over the past three days, his magical power has also increased, and he is now close to the end of the second level of Qi Refining.

Realm: Qi Refining Level 2 (96/100)

Call ~

The boy slowly spoke, taking in his breath:

"Compared to Huang Butou's imminent Foundation Establishment, this kind of improvement is nothing."

"What brings you here, Constable?"

The woman did not respond immediately, and the atmosphere in the house began to fall silent, gradually becoming oppressive.

After an unknown amount of time, Constable Huang finally spoke again, but did not explain the reason for the summons:

"Killing is forbidden in Linhai City. Why do you keep violating this rule? Even if you come from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, you cannot act so recklessly."

"These cultivators have gathered outside the courtyard, intending to destroy my path to cultivation; they may certainly be killed!"

"Those who seek human sacrifices to appease demons deserve to die!!"

Zhang Yuanzhu's voice was resolute, each word uttered with unwavering conviction:

"One more time, kill again."

Huang, the head constable, narrowed his eyes, his hand fell, and his head rose. The young man possessed such murderous intent, but...

"Well said!"

"These two snakes have been occupying the river for years, haggling with us, and even performing live sacrifices. They should have been eliminated long ago."

"This is Ancient Cliff Mountain, not Demon Land. All spiritual objects and resources belong to us human cultivators."

She slowly stood up, her breath bursting forth like a volcano that had been dormant for many years.

Explosive and domineering!

The woman looked directly at the boy, her red lips slightly parted:

"The gathering of cultivators in Guanglan Street was a deliberate act by certain forces within the city, and they should all be eliminated."

"We have summoned you here because we want you to join forces with the Divine Arrest Bureau to eliminate these forces."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanzhu frowned and lightly tapped the hilt of his sword with his fingertips.

The woman before him was far stronger than him. When she entered the Divine Arrest Bureau's territory, there were many powerful figures there, so she didn't need his help.

What is the other party's true intention?
