Chapter 76 Night Raid
The constables and soldiers worked together to collect the body.
There was silence.
a long time.
After the body was recovered, all the items carried on it were taken out and placed aside.
With all four commanders present, it was impossible for anyone to keep anything to themselves.
"The official seals of the governor, the deputy general, and their investiture edicts are all missing."
Yu Tong sighed.
"Commander Yu, Commander He, Commander Wang, I just remembered something about the Human Treasure."
After examining the injuries on all the corpses, Yao Jingkun suddenly spoke.
"The Human Treasure Thousand Weapon Box is extremely powerful, but it also consumes energy when used for attack, as it consumes the martial artist's vital energy."
"The life force of martial artists? Does that mean there were over a hundred members of the Three Treasures Cult present at the time?" Yu Tong wondered.
If he were to emerge from the fog and find himself surrounded, he would definitely rush in immediately and cut through the enemy lines.
After all, a master who has refined the five internal organs possesses all the necessary skills, including movement, speed, strength, and vital energy. They are not wooden figures; how could they simply stand by and watch their opponent attack without doing anything?
"That's not what I mean. The blood and qi consumed by the Human Treasure is not the blood and qi of a martial artist. No, it is also the blood and qi of a martial artist, but it requires killing a person at the Five Organs level to take their blood and qi. Only when it is released can it kill a person at the Five Organs level. It is also called one life for one life."
"One life for another? A hundred members of the Three Jewels sect also died?" He Zhong's eyes widened, clearly disbelieving.
"No, no, it's about killing them beforehand and storing their life force in the Thousand Weapon Box. When needed, you can just take it out and attack directly."
"Ah? If that's the case... I understand now. Before, the Lü family mobilized more than forty five-organ level assassins to kill so many five-organ level assassins from the Fang, Zhao, and Xiang families, and then they went to the prefectural and state government offices to carry out massacres. At that time, they were probably storing up blood and qi for the Thousand Weapon Box."
He Zhong frowned. "But why did they do this? And why did they take the seals and edicts of the governor and the deputy general?"
"It's simple, just impersonate someone else," Yao Jingkun replied casually.
"Impersonation? Identity!"
The three commanders were startled, and a bad feeling crept into their hearts.
……
evening.
Luhua County.
Fan Li followed Fan Ning on their journey without stopping for a moment, and finally arrived at the only inn in Luhua County at nightfall.
Fulai Inn.
"Senior brother, we've been traveling for three days straight, where are we going? Can you stop playing games with me?"
Upon entering the room, Fanli put down his bundle and couldn't help but complain.
"Don't rush, Fanli. You are a Buddhist disciple and will inherit your master's position in the future. Why are you always in such a hurry? You have no composure at all."
As Fan Ning spoke, he opened the door and called for the waiter, ordering two bowls of clear soup noodles to be brought to his room.
"Today is an auspicious day for the governor and his lieutenant to arrive in Jinshan Prefecture. The first major gift should have already been sent by the Sanbao Sect."
"We've come to Luhua County to give them a second big gift."
A smile played on Fan Ning's face. "I just wonder how many of them will actually receive it."
"Senior brother, what is the first big gift?"
"The Thousand Weapons Box"
"Huh? What's a Thousand Weapons Box?"
"It can unleash thousands of weapons instantly, and each weapon is imbued with vital energy, making its attack power incomparably strong."
"So, what's our second gift?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Go to sleep first. In three hours, I'll take you to see the second great gift."
Soon after, the clear soup noodles were served. Fan Ning politely thanked him and gave the waiter a few pieces of silver.
After eating clear soup noodles, the two brothers changed into night clothes, covering themselves up completely, and left the inn.
After determining their direction, the two figures disappeared into the mist outside Luhua County.
……
"We have to go back."
Yao Jingkun gathered all the students together and spoke.
"Jinshan Prefecture is currently in dire straits, with no experts to protect it. You are all elite disciples of the academy. If anything were to happen to you, the academy could not bear the consequences."
"Feel free to ask any questions you may have, we'll set off tonight."
So urgent!
The students looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Alright, since there are no problems, let's set off. Everyone, grab your weapons, let's go!"
Under the cover of night, Yao Jingkun led the way, with many students following behind.
The soldiers in the camp did not ask any questions and let the group leave.
The news of the governor's general being wiped out during the day spread like wildfire, and Jinshan Prefecture once again returned to its previous state of voluntary curfew.
There wasn't a single person on the street.
Only the pale moonlight stretched the shadows of everyone.
"Pop!"
A light, melodious voice rang out.
Yao Jingkun looked up in confusion and saw an arrow flying towards him.
"Someone's attacking! Take cover!"
Yao Jingkun shouted a warning to the students behind him, but instead of dodging, he reached out and grabbed the arrow.
Caught.
But this is just the beginning.
Archers never appear alone, whether on the battlefield or in the streets.
The next second, arrows rained down, swift as the wind, reflecting a deadly light under the moonlight.
"Hide."
Because Lu Lin was the strongest, he was placed at the back of the team.
Although he has an invincible shield, he won't act recklessly at this time.
The arrows struck the bluestone pavement, making a series of crisp sounds, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, but at this moment, not a single student was distracted.
A volley of arrows was fired.
Hundreds of men in black appeared at the front of the procession.
Lu Lin looked back and saw even more people behind him.
Nearly three hundred people surrounded and attacked about twenty students; this was quite a large-scale operation.
However, despite the city guards' daily raids and inspections over the past two weeks, how come there are still so many Sanbao followers hiding in the city?
The man in black remained silent, but drew his sword.
Fortunately, among the men in black, there were only two experts at the Five Organs level.
"kill!"
When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail!
Hesitating for even a second at this moment is disrespectful to one's own life.
Lu Lin drew his long sword and moved with lightning speed, rushing backward.
The students were also inspired by Lu Lin's actions.
They knew that they couldn't afford to take any chances if they wanted to survive.
The more you try to hide, the more likely you are to die.
Why not take a gamble?
"kill!"
The students took out various weapons and rushed towards the men in black.
"Hmph, like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating its own strength! Kill them!"
The Three Treasures Sect's five-organ level expert snorted coldly and commanded his subordinates to take action.
He stared intently at Yao Jingkun.
Another student, who was at the fifth level, seized the opportunity to enter the school.
"You dare!"
Yao Jingkun roared and charged straight at the man.
Suddenly, a large knife appeared in his hand.
The blade is thick and wide, with a serrated back and three iron rings inlaid in the front middle section.
You've been tricked!
The pursued Five Organs level expert sneered and retreated sharply. Among the men in black below, a figure soared into the sky.
Yao Jingkun realized something was wrong and quickly changed tactics, attacking the person below.
"Damn the Three Treasures Sect, it wasn't enough that they ambushed two of us at the Five Organs level, they also have a hidden one. It's disgusting."
Yao Jingkun cursed angrily, and the next moment, the blade descended, cleaving the third person in two.
