Chapter 76 The Gate of Ten Thousand Laws

Qian Fan's face lit up with excitement. "Just now, Leopard and the others brought news that someone killed a demon with fifty years of cultivation outside the governor's mansion. A great master has entered the city."

"Are they the Four Lords of the Heavenly Blade Sect?"

Qian Ping asked in a low voice.

Qian Yue shook his head slightly, "Those four people came to protect Sun Yinglong. Now that Sun Yinglong is dead, they should have left long ago."

"Who could it be?"

Their eyes fell on Qian Fan.

Qian Fan was still very excited, thinking about what the leopard had said before.

"By the way, Leopard said he seemed to have encountered the person who killed the great demon, a man wearing military armor. Father, are there any military officers who can kill a demon that's fifty years old?"

Qian Yue was startled and suddenly stood up.

"real?"

His eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe that the news was true.

He was the strongest in the army, having reached the fifth level of the Horizontal Cultivation Realm, but he lacked the confidence to kill a fifty-year-old demon. After all, demons possessed demonic arts, and cultivating the Horizontal Cultivation Realm only strengthened the physical body; it was difficult to kill a demon of the same level.

A look of joy appeared on Qian Ping's face. "Since he's wearing Ya Yun's armor, he's most likely one of my men."

"Father, do you think it could be one of those retired senior soldiers from the Imperial Guard?"

Qian Yue hesitated.

"The Shuofang Prefecture Army was established relatively late, so there aren't many retired soldiers, and they're all relatively young—"

"No, it's definitely not an old man. Leopard said that person must be very young, and he even bought a carriage from him."

Qian Yue and Qian Ping suddenly fell silent, a face flashing through their minds at the same time.

impossible?

Could it really be him?

Only Qian Fan's excited cheers remained in the room.

After a long while, Qian Ping slowly looked at Qian Yue, "Father, could it be—Xu Guang?"

Qian Yue remained silent.

Because of Liu Yunfei's matter, the two discussed Xu Guang's realm. According to Qian Yue's speculation at the time, Xu Guang was probably at the fourth realm.

But now—

He can slay demons for fifty years and escape unscathed before they arrive.

What level of cultivation is this?

Could it be that Xu Guang had already switched to practicing Taoist magic?

"Father, elder brother, do you really know that person? Then contact him quickly, let's fight our way out together."

Qian Yue gave a wry smile, looking at the excitement on Qian Fan's face.

Qian Fan had no understanding of the military affairs of the yamen army.

Xu Guang's ability to kill demons for fifty years indicates that the enemy did indeed have a chance to break out of the city.

In this life-or-death crisis, the so-called kindness of the government troops—

How many points?

Moreover, from beginning to end, Qian Yue only ever intended to use Xu Guang.

Xu Guang was well aware of this.

Qian Yue stopped talking and just looked out at the darkness, feeling a mix of disappointment and determination.

Perhaps he genuinely valued Xu Guang back then, transferring him to his personal guard and carefully nurturing him, which would have earned him a great deal of favor.

But at that time, Xu Guang was insignificant in his eyes, merely a pawn.

There may be some regret or disappointment about the decision I made back then, but there is no remorse.

Those who command armies must not act impulsively.

If it's a chess piece, then it's a chess piece from beginning to end.

"Ping'er, spread the word that the one who killed the great demon was Xu Guang. This man broke through the fifth realm in two years and should not be underestimated."

Having broken through to the fifth realm in two years, I believe those demons will surely come out in full force.

This is no longer a matter of good or bad aptitude; Xu Guang must have a big secret!

This secret is enough to make all fifty-year-old demons and even hundred-year-old demons' hearts flutter.

Even without help from others, I, Qian Yue, will be able to get through this difficult time.

The emotions in Qian Yue's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by the same unwavering determination and depth as ever.

Outside the Drum Tower on South Street.

Xu Guang stood by the window, gazing at the distant city gate, where he occasionally saw dark figures patrolling by.

Occasionally, one might encounter demons.

The patrolmen seemed to know the demons, as they were able to greet them and come and go with ease.

He Nian and his group had arrived. Fifty-six soldiers returned, and with their families, there were nearly two hundred people.

Fifty-odd people leading more than three hundred people to break out is no easy task.

He said in a low voice.

"Team leader, someone hasn't returned."

Xu Guang's gaze fell on him, but he showed no emotion.

He Nian continued, "Sun Fu and the others felt it was dangerous. They had some connection with the Deng family, and the Deng family took them and their families in."

The Deng family also joined Sun Ganxuan's forces and now holds a dominant position in the city.

Xu Guang sighed softly.

"Alright, go ask if there are any others who don't want to leave."

He doesn't force it.

If he hadn't wanted to try and lead these people out of the city to see if he could be considered to have saved them, he wouldn't have wanted to take a single one of them.

He Nian nodded and left.

Du Zhao carried with him the things Wu Yunmiao was preparing to leave the city.

Leg wraps, short blade.

The leg wraps were for running faster if you fell off the carriage, and the dagger was not for killing, but for suicide.

Xu Guang glanced at the two men but said nothing.

Verbal guarantees are always ultimately meaningless.

Just as Xu Guang was about to push open the door, a faint, almost imperceptible aura swept through his snake-like senses.

After a moment of silence, Xu Guang reached for his waist and pushed open the door.

squeak.

-

The wooden door slowly opened, making a sound.

Inside the room stood a figure in pure white, quietly with their back to him, standing motionless.

His back was thin, and the veins on his hands were bulging.

"You're much later than agreed."

Xu Guang lowered his hand from his waist and poured tea for himself.

Han Yuehui turned around and looked at Xu Guang.

"Did you find your cousin?"

Xu Guang didn't answer, but instead asked, "Is there still no clue about my father?"

Han Yuehui nodded, then shook her head.

"Some reports say that he stole a celestial stone from Sun Ganxuan and then disappeared without a trace."

Xu Guang: ————

If Han Yuehui hadn't been right in front of him, he really wouldn't have believed that his old man could do such a thing.

So it turns out he comes from a family of thieves.

Xu Guang didn't mention that he would return to the divination site, but simply asked in a low voice.

"Tell me about my older sister. I probably won't be able to stay in Shuofang Prefecture any longer."

That's true.

His killing of Wu Daoren could not be kept secret. If Sun Ganxuan investigated further, it would not be difficult to find out about his life.

Breaking through to the sixth realm in two years is indeed a bit exaggerated; neither Sun Ganxuan nor the demons will let him go.

Leaving Shuofang Prefecture and starting a low-key life elsewhere is the best solution.

Han Yuehui did not hide anything.

"She is the daughter of your father and my sister, nine years older than you. She married the young master of the Wanfa Sect in Shengjing. Three years ago, she killed her father-in-law and is now the person in charge of the Wanfa Sect. However, the Wanfa Sect has been impacted by the Lufa Dao and has little power left. But it shouldn't be difficult to find you a job and protect you."

After a few words, Xu Guang had formed some impression of this unfamiliar older sister.

Ambitious, ruthless, and sometimes unscrupulous in his actions.

However, the things that Han Yuehui and her father stole in Youzhou back then must have played a significant role in her rise to power.

Xu Guang smiled nonchalantly.

"Do you think I need her to protect me?"

Han Yuehui was speechless.

He paused before speaking.

"Whether she protects you or not, you siblings should take care of each other. She has the secrets of the Myriad Dharma Sect, and you're her own brother. She doesn't have a son, so who else would she give it to if not you?"

Xu Guang finally showed some interest.

He intended to integrate his martial arts and combine them with the Daoist teachings to develop a technique that cultivates both internal and external skills. He had never heard of the Myriad Methods Sect, but since it was called the Myriad Methods Sect, it must have a lot of martial arts within its sect.
