My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

The Nanming Prefecture, with its six gates, was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

"Geniuses are always arrogant."

"This is not a good thing."

How can one grow without experiencing setbacks?

Qian Jimin looked at the letter in his hand, and soon brought it close to the candlelight.

After a while.

The black ash slowly drifted down.

He instructed his trusted subordinates, who were already prepared, as follows:

"The matter in Changhe County has been botched."

"We absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen this time."

"Take men to surround the Seven Pill Gate, prepare Lin Zheng's portrait, and issue an arrest warrant."

For Qian Jimin

The success or failure of Linjia Village is not important at all.

That was just to alert the enemy and, incidentally, to test Liu Haoran.

of course.

There is also a tiny, insignificant selfishness within it, a selfishness that allows one's thoughts to be clear.

Everything will get back on track.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Not long after.

The elite Zhenxie Hall soldiers, exuding a murderous aura, left the yamen fully armed.

Everyone in the city was shocked when they saw this!

"hiss!"

"What a loud noise!"

"What is the Six Doors planning to do?"

……

The turmoil in Nanming Prefecture has not yet reached Linjia Village.

at this time.

Carrying the immobile Lin Zheng, Liu Haoran had already arrived at the luxurious Lin residence.

but.

The scenario he envisioned did not occur.

in contrast.

Aside from the terrified commoners and the little demon, there was only one person left standing in the courtyard.

According to Liu Haoran's guess, Cheng Ye had already been captured.

"here……"

"What exactly happened?"

Cheng Ye, who was sheathing his sword and using thick rope to tie up the wounded swordsmen, saw Liu Haoran, who was covered in blood, and Lin Zheng, who was being brought back.

She also breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"fortunately."

"We didn't let him get away."

Liu Haoran really wanted to say, "The point right now isn't whether Lin Zheng ran away or not, is it?"

Although this is also quite important.

"You defeated them all?"

Cheng also clapped his hands and looked at Liu Haoran:

"Now."

"You should tell me what kind of mission this is, right?"

His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Before we parted ways.

Liu Haoran also said that there wouldn't be any major problems on his side.

Who knows what happened next?

Lin Zheng actually turned his back on him?

If Cheng hadn't seen Liu Haoran running back injured, he would have gone home long ago.

Whoever wants to clean up this mess can do so.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haoran's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

In his view.

Cheng Ye, this Mingzi, can stay at the Lin residence, eat and drink, and attract Lin Zheng's attention; that will suffice.

He will handle the truly important tasks himself.

I never expected this.

Then such a huge change happened!

He threw the enormous tiger head to the ground, and, with a hint of dissatisfaction towards Tingfeng Hall, said:

"This mission is actually not difficult."

"Tingfeng Hall has gathered intelligence that Lin Zheng is using special drugs to control all the people and demons in Linjia Village, treating them as his slaves."

In the laws of Da Tang.

Slavery is an illegal existence.

Not to mention those like Lin Zheng, who are controlled with medication.

"Based on the information provided by Tingfengtang."

"Lin Zheng is cooperating with a fifth-rank demon, which is why he is able to control so many people and demons."

"So this task fell to me."

"I'll analyze it."

"Once we kill this demon and come back to capture Lin Zheng, this case can be closed smoothly."

"But unexpectedly, Lin Zheng actually used evil magic to light the spirit lamp for that demon!"

Cheng Ye's eyes narrowed immediately.

"A blood essence lamp?"

Cheng also knew about this thing.

When humans and other races form a close alliance, they will use secret methods to form a pact.

but.

The lighting of the essence lamp usually required the approval of the imperial court.

In fact, this is a gameplay element called "alliance" in the game.

If one of the allied parties encounters an accident, the Blood Essence Lamp will go out.

No wonder.

Lin Zhenghui suddenly turned against him.

Liu Haoran, standing to the side, was still muttering grievances:

"If the information provided by Tingfengtang had not been incomplete."

Things won't turn out this way.

Cheng also looked around at the people who were looking at him expectantly:

"Alright."

"A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."

"You handle cases yourself, but without investigating the details, blindly trusting Tingfengtang's intelligence. Aren't you at fault?"

Upon hearing that he had actually been scolded by Cheng Ye, Liu Haoran opened his mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal.

But after sensing the unquestionable authority of a superior from Cheng Ye, Liu Haoran subconsciously shut his mouth again.

"Go to the government office to get the antidote."

"Take these people back."

"The rest is none of my business."

After seeing Cheng Ye enter the Lin residence and find a place to spend the night, Liu Haoran looked around and suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

He first gave the swordsmen a brief interrogation.

Upon learning what had happened at the Lin residence, his eyes widened in shock!

"Is he an alchemist?"

With just a few words, he subdued the common people and minor demons who were controlled by the elixir.

"Where can you find an alchemist this young?"

Liu Haoran was well aware that a person's energy is limited.

Moreover.

To become an alchemist, one needs to devote a great deal of energy to studying various elixir formulas and techniques.

Generally speaking.

Only a second-grade mortal martial artist whose internal energy permeates all twelve meridians would attempt to become an alchemist during the arduous process of cultivation.

What Liu Haoran found even more unbelievable was that Cheng Ye, the swordsman, not only did not fall quickly under the siege of several swordsmen, but also comprehended the Dao!

"so."

"Is he the only one who can take everyone down?"

Liu Haoran looked at the Lin residence as if in a daze and muttered to himself.

Slowly regaining his senses, Liu Haoran looked at the blood-soaked tiger head on the ground, his brows furrowing deeply.

"but."

"I feel..."

"I'm finding it quite difficult to deal with this demon."

As a sword cultivator, his offensive power is extremely strong.

Even if one is injured in slaying this ferocious tiger demon, it should only be a minor injury.

How could it be like this now, with such serious injuries?

……

The night was quiet, and dawn was approaching.

After receiving Liu Haoran's assurance, the villagers and the little demons all had a newfound interest in him.

Since being enslaved by Lin Zheng, they felt like puppets on strings.

That feeling of being unable to control one's own destiny is truly terrifying!

knock --

Liu Haoran knocked on Cheng Ye's door.

"I have already sent a message by carrier pigeon."

"The government will send someone to meet us on the way."

crunch.

Cheng opened the door; his bag was already packed.

The two escorted Lin Zheng and the swordsmen whose cultivation had been crippled, preparing to turn back.

Walking along the mountain path, Liu Haoran finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Officer Cheng."

"Are you an alchemist?"

"How do you know so much?"

Compared to when he arrived, Liu Haoran was clearly much more polite.

"If you want to find the right direction to work towards, don't you need to read more books?"

Caught off guard by Cheng Ye's retort, Liu Haoran gave an awkward laugh.

"The Purple Cloud Skill was created by the True Man Kaitai."

"Master Kaitai also has the martial arts nickname 'Sanyang'."

Liu Haoran didn't know why Cheng Ye would bring these things up, but he was very familiar with Master Kaitai:

"His internal energy is domineering, his swordsmanship is domineering, and his personality is domineering!"

Cheng also picked up the conversation and continued:

"in addition."

"Legend has it that he had an epiphany at dawn, which led him to create the Zixia Skill."

"Though the world changes, it is not without its traces."

"Practicing meditation at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) may have miraculous effects."
