Chapter 76 The Formation Breaks
Chapter 76 The Formation Breaks
"People from the government office?"
To prevent anyone from ruining the plan to spread the human-faced sore meat porridge, Chu Ziheng stayed at the Ma family's residence.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had the plan been implemented than messengers appeared out of nowhere.
The constables looked disheveled, as if they had been deliberately thrown into the courtyard.
"Who's ruining my plans!"
Green vines coiled around the bailiff who had stood up, and Chu Ziheng quickly chased after the person who had ruined his plans.
The constable, being well-informed, recognized this as a technique used by cultivators and shouted loudly towards the outside, "Help!"
He only managed to utter those two words before his body was wrapped up like a rice dumpling by the green vines, and he couldn't make a sound.
If only one constable had come, Chu Ziheng could have captured him alive and dealt with the troublemaker, which might have calmed things down.
Hearing their colleague's cries for help, the three pursuing constables jumped onto the courtyard wall and saw their colleague entangled in green vines.
"Cultivators!"
They fled to a distance, took out the bamboo tubes from their waists, and pulled the rope.
Three bursts of fire exploded in the sky, creating quite a commotion.
The fact that all three constables simultaneously triggered the distress signal was enough to demonstrate the seriousness of the matter; it was a problem that a body cultivator could not solve.
The magistrate came from the back courtyard of the yamen to the main hall and respectfully said to the left courtyard, "Please come with me, Your Excellency."
The constables are responsible for handling all matters, large and small, in the city. If they encounter any difficult situations, they can ask the cultivators stationed outside the city for assistance.
If the cultivators who offer sacrifices cannot solve the problem, the matter will be reported to the Enforcement Hall in the inner city. At that time, cultivators from the Blackwater Sect will come to handle the matter.
At the yamen, dozens of bailiffs were gathered, along with an elderly man dressed in a gray Taoist robe.
"The wind rises!"
A gentle breeze blew by, and all the constables, as if propelled by the wind, quickly rushed towards the location of the Ma family's residence.
When they arrived, they only saw the mummified corpse of one constable and three other constables with horrified expressions.
The servants and members of the Ma family inside the mansion were all lying on the ground, already lifeless.
Are all members of the Ma family dead?
"What exactly is going on?"
Hu San and the others recounted the whole story in detail, and the magistrate listened with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Did the Ma family distribute meat porridge to people with human-faced sores?
Once the human-faced sores spread to the outer city, causing the deaths of many civilians in Blackswamp City, he will definitely lose his head.
"Be careful not to touch the body!"
"In any case, catch the mastermind behind this as soon as possible."
……
Zhou Qiuyuan did not hear any loud fighting noises and was unaware of what had happened at the Ma family's residence.
He knew that the authorities could not possibly catch Chu Ziheng.
Zhou Qiuyuan did not expect the government officials to accomplish anything; he only wanted to use them to sabotage the distribution of meat porridge and prevent a large-scale outbreak of human-faced sores in the city.
Chu Ziheng has not yet resolved the aura of the Yingxiang Pill; his troubles with the Yuan family are the main event.
Chu Ziheng ended up in this state because of the Yuan family, so it's impossible for him to leave the secret treasure to them.
As long as he dies at the hands of the Yuan family, no one else will know the whereabouts of the secret treasure, and Zhou Qiuyuan will be able to monopolize this opportunity.
Whether the plan will develop in the direction one expects is entirely up to fate.
Zhou Qiuyuan arrived at the Wei family residence. Lu Chengping did not come, so he shared the time with Luo Tong to practice the Thunderclap Blade.
Zhou Qiuyuan used the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Enhancing Pill and the Black Tiger Bone-Tempering Pill without hesitation, and his progress was rapid.
He continued his cultivation until dusk before reluctantly returning home.
Instead of going to the South District to investigate out of curiosity and avoid getting into a dangerous situation, Zhou Qiuyuan planned to investigate through his dreams in the future.
After returning home, he continued his cultivation, and before going to sleep, he finally reached the sixth level of Thunder Bone Refinement.
Exhausted from a long day, he fell into a deep sleep.
A dream of the future.
When he woke up, it was midnight again. He continued to practice his secret techniques as usual, focusing on the Zhen Shen Yin, which he had yet to master.
After practicing for a period of time, he has mastered several secret techniques to perfection, and their power has undergone a qualitative leap.
The only thing he couldn't fully master was the Tiger's Roar Thunder Sound, which he obtained earliest.
Among body cultivators, there has never been a method of attack targeting the soul, which is enough to prove the uniqueness of the Divine Sound.
Once mastered, the Divine Sound will undoubtedly become a trump card.
boom!
Zhou Qiuyuan heard a huge explosion outside and his body trembled. He quickly went to the side room, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and looked south.
A blinding white light streaked across the night sky, illuminating the area as bright as day.
It was a dazzling sword light, with astonishing power.
This is definitely the method of a cultivator!
South City?
Could it be that Chu Ziheng is fighting with the Yuan family?
Zhou Qiuyuan used his Lightning Shadow skill to quickly head towards the South City.
Many people were awakened by the commotion of the cultivators fighting and rushed towards the area where the battle was taking place.
A golden Bagua diagram appeared in the sky, solid and tangible, blocking the blazing white sword light directly in front of it.
The golden Bagua diagram crumbled inch by inch under the white sword light. It held out for less than three breaths before the sword light broke through the golden Bagua diagram with unstoppable force, advancing straight in.
"what!"
A scream rang out, followed by a venomous voice, "Yuan family, you old bastards, I'll make you regret this!"
Zhou Qiuyuan recognized the voice; it belonged to Chu Ziheng, with whom he had interacted several times before.
"Shameless brat, today is the day you die!"
When the Yuan family learned of Chu Ziheng's plot to spread the human-faced sores under the guise of the Ma family distributing meat porridge, they were terrified.
On the surface, the Ma family was an appendage of the Yuan family, but unexpectedly, they had intricate connections with the Chu family.
Once Chu Ziheng pins the blame for the human-faced sore on the Yuan family, a huge problem is about to unfold.
The Yuan family didn't have time to slowly search for the Chu family's secret treasure. Relying on the scent-finding insects to locate Chu Ziheng, they made their move at midnight.
Chu Ziheng stared at the robes that had lost their spiritual light and his severed right arm, his eyes filled with resentment.
With things having come to this point, he was completely desperate.
Four beams of spiritual light floated around Chu Ziheng, which were actually four different magical artifacts.
"Draw upon my blood, draw upon my resentment."
He spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the four magical artifacts, and the spiritual light emanating from them dimmed, gradually being replaced by the light of blood.
"go!"
Driven by Chu Ziheng, the four blood-stained magical artifacts flew towards the distant city wall.
"Old man, I'd rather die than..."
Yuan Jingnian realized something was wrong, and the white magic sword pierced through Chu Ziheng's head.
But he was ultimately too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four explosions rang out in succession, and four blood-stained magical artifacts exploded at the same location, causing the array restrictions in this area to emerge and flash with spiritual light.
The self-destruction of the magical artifact did not break the formation; instead, the bloodstains and crimson spiritual light on the artifact spread across the formation's restrictions.
The array's light dimmed in this area, quickly forming a spreading crimson gap.
"No!"
Yuan Jingnian stared at the gap in the array in the distance, his face full of bitterness.
He who hunted geese year after year eventually got his eyes pecked by one.
Knowing he was doomed, this guy controlled four high-quality magical artifacts to self-destruct towards the formation of the outer city of the Black Swamp, and even affected the formation with his blood.
The formation within the Black Swamp Inner City could easily block even a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The outer city's formations could not enjoy such treatment; the Blackwater Sect would not expend a large amount of spirit stones to ensure the safety of mortals.
The expenses for the outer city's array barrier have been reduced every year. To this day, it can only withstand attacks from cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining. Faced with Chu Ziheng's suicidal attack, the outer city's array finally broke!
