Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 448: The Barbarians Came Out in Full Force, and the Ghost King Seized the Opportunity to Move the Dark Banner

Huangyun Mansion, inside the Law Enforcement Hall.

Zhang Aofeng smashed the jade table in front of him with one palm, and the fragments flew everywhere. His eyes were fierce, and his magic power was surging, shaking the tripod hanging in the hall.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

Today's routine meeting was held with the presence of the garrison commander Lu Zhenjun, but Zhang Aofeng still couldn't control himself and flew into a rage.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Zhang so angry? It's just that some barbarians died..."

The several law enforcement disciples present were silent, and the others did not want to trigger Zhang Aofeng's anger at this time. In the end, only Lu Cheng spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Aofeng suppressed his anger and said:
"You may not know, garrison commander, that although these barbarians are filthy and stupid, they are relatively easy to deal with among the several alien tribes near Xuanyin Demon Gorge. Although they eat humans, they also eat the Eight-Handed Tribe, the Water Tribe, and the Winged Tribe. As long as the Huangyun Mansion provides enough wealth, this is the only alien tribe that we can use. Now that they have been killed by the Youfang Yedao, a link that maintains the balance of this place has been destroyed. The consequences are unimaginable."

"I see. I never thought there were so many things involved behind this matter. Then please let Elder Zhang handle it. We will do our best to help."

Lu Cheng said this with a look of surprise on his face.

Zhang Aofeng turned around and said to everyone, "Pass my order. From now on, block the border of Huangyun Prefecture and investigate all wandering cultivators! Especially those who are good at blood-related skills!"

Because of this incident, most people left the meeting with heavy hearts after the breakup. They also understood that Elder Zhang was just putting on a show. How could a Blood Dao cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Realm be detected by those cultivators stationed at the border?

If it is discovered, it will be a disaster.

"Now that the balance has been broken and the three two-headed barbarian tribes have been wiped out, will the Netherworld Ghost Clan take the opportunity to expand their power?"

"It's hard to say. It's hard to say."

After all the cultivators dispersed, only Zhang Aofeng was still sitting in the Taoist Palace. At this moment, a female cultivator in plain clothes came out from the back of the hall.

Zhuo Xuelan took light steps and placed her delicate hands on her brother's shoulders from behind: "Why are you so angry today, brother? The new garrison commander was also frightened by you."

"What do you know! I really couldn't suppress my anger at that time." Zhang Aofeng turned around and hugged Zhuo Xuelan into his arms, his hands reaching in unruly, and lowered his voice and said:

"Those three barbarian tribes have been secretly transporting various spiritual objects for us for a hundred years! Now they are suddenly destroyed. I'm afraid someone has noticed something!"

Zhuo Xuelan's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Could it be... the new garrison commander?"

"Impossible." Zhang Aofeng sneered upon hearing this, "Lu Cheng is only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he have such ability? Moreover, he has been staying at home these days and has even been unable to shirk many routine meetings. He is clearly a hard-working person who doesn't understand practical matters. Such a person may have a high level of cultivation, but what can we see?"

As he spoke, a sinister look flashed in his eyes: "It is true that You Fang Ye Dao was able to wipe out three two-headed barbarian tribes in a short period of time. He must be at least a spirit-transforming cultivator, and his fighting ability is extremely terrifying! It is probably no coincidence that such a person suddenly appeared in Huang Yun Mansion."

Zhuo Xuelan bit her lower lip lightly: "What about our business?"

"Stop for now." Zhang Aofeng took a deep breath and said, "Let Master Zhao go and get some information first. He has been pretending to be sick and not going out for these years, so this is a good opportunity to stretch his muscles." "I'm afraid that the Netherworld Ghost Clan won't allow it. It's okay for other spiritual objects, but we've suddenly cut off the supply of Yin Sui Jade, and we're afraid they'll cause trouble!"

"We have been doing business for so many years, so what if we stop for a few years? We should convince them, otherwise, how can they benefit from us if something happens to us?"

“…Okay, I’ll try my best.”

Yin Sui Jade, a treasure of the ghost world, plays a great auxiliary role in helping ghost cultivators break through realms and even cultivate several kinds of magic fire. It has always been one of the treasures that the human race strictly guards against and refuses to sell to the ghost clan. The ghost clan has no control over those produced by themselves, but the humans are expressly prohibited from selling those mined by them.

But the more it is prohibited, the more profit it will make. What's more, it is difficult for the Yin spirits to become saints, and the lifespan of ghost cultivators is long but it is difficult to make progress. Even if the Yin Sui Jade is hundreds of years old, there is no movement from the Xuanyin Demon Gorge. In the eyes of Zhang Aofeng and Zhuo Xuelan, even if they do this business until their lifespan is exhausted, there will be no harm.

What's more, it was not given away for free. Over the years, the Yin Sui Jade had also exchanged for countless precious resources for them, and was used by Zhang Aofeng, Zhuo Xuelan and other cultivators to enjoy life, practice Taoism, and spend money lavishly.

Zhang Aofeng has a good physique, Zhuo Xuelan has a nice figure, fair skin, and good charm. Lu Cheng hides on the side, reading the information and listening to the conversation between the two from time to time.

Over the past few hundred years, Huangyun Prefecture has reported "no loss in the entire territory" every year, but the population has barely increased to 340 million households.

This method is simply treating the sect’s top leaders as fools, so Lu Cheng came.

"It seems that I am going to offend Senior Brother Linghushan. Before I came, everything was fine in Huangyun Mansion. But within three years after I came, I killed a hero with outstanding military exploits."

Lu Cheng looked at Zhang Aofeng again. He really admired this man. However, over the years, the spirit stones were used up and the beautiful girls enjoyed him, and he had become useless.

After Lu Cheng turned and left, Zhang Aofeng and Zhuo Xuelan were still hugging and talking under their Taoist robes.

"I really didn't expect this. I thought the position of the garrison commander would definitely go to Master Zhao, but I didn't expect that the higher-ups would actually send Master Lu."

"Brother, do you think Master Zhao can defeat Master Lu?"

"Of course he can. You underestimate Master Zhao. Although Master Zhao doesn't participate in our business, his methods are definitely not weak. When Linghu Mountain first came, if he didn't have Master Zhao's support and guidance, how could he be where he is today?"

...

The Netherworld Ghost Tribe, the Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe, the Eight-Handed Tribe, the Water Tribe, the Winged Tribe, and all these alien races entrenched around the Xuanyin Demon Gorge all have a leader who is at least a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, otherwise they would not be taken seriously by the Taiqing Sect. The only difference is that alien races like the Two-Headed Barbarian Tribe have too shallow a foundation.

A large tribe actually has no powerful formation to protect it. Once the most powerful monk in the tribe is killed, the tribe will face the danger of extinction.

The Netherworld ghost clan deep in the Xuanyin Demon Gorge contains not only gods, but also ghosts with even greater powers. They are just afraid of the Taiqing Sect behind the Huangyun Mansion, which has cultivators with even greater powers.

Therefore, conflicts would not easily occur, but even so, incidents of ghosts roaming the land had occurred several times in the long history of this area.

It seemed that the situation was just as Zhang Aofeng had said, because the three tribes of the two-headed barbarians were destroyed, several ghost kings who had always been law-abiding began to stir up trouble again.
