Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 271 Horse-Forked Insect

"Hey, now that you all know the situation, you can let us out, right? We didn't kill them, it was the human demon who did."

"We came here to hunt down a murderer, so let us out now!"

"Now, the Human Demon only needs to devour the lifespans of two more people born in the year, month, day, and hour of the Pig (亥) to completely transform into a demon. At that time, no one in the world will be able to deal with him. If you don't let us out now, it will be too late once the Human Demon has truly succeeded in transforming into a demon. The entire Guangdong region will be doomed."

In the prison cell of Taixing Town, Ah Le, Leopard Sister, and Leopard Brother kept looking out the door and shouting.

"What a load of bull! He says the entire eastern Guangdong is doomed? We have the Young Marshal in charge of the eastern Guangdong. I don't believe that demon can defeat the Young Marshal."

The security guards outside couldn't help but scoff at these words.

These people really think they're something special from eastern Guangdong.

With a young marshal in charge.

Any demons or monsters that dare to act recklessly in eastern Guangdong will only face certain death.

"Gentlemen, could you please inform me so that I may see the young marshal?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Jian's expression shifted.

"We would like to see the young marshal, but he is very busy with many affairs of state. It is not something you can just see whenever you want."

Several security guards were even more annoyed upon hearing this.

Just at this moment.

"Let them go."

The security captain suddenly walked in and spoke.

"Yes, Captain."

Upon hearing this, the security guards on duty at the gate immediately responded and quickly went to the cell door where Mao Jian and his group of four were being held, then opened the iron gate.

The security captain then walked to the door and looked at the four people.

“Guangdong is a place that upholds the rule of law. Now that the matter has been clarified and the murderer is not you, my security team will naturally not continue to detain and harass you. But remember, if you commit any crimes after you get out, Guangdong will never let any bad person go.”

"Alright, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Mao Jian and the other three were overjoyed and quickly responded.

"Thank you Captain."

"The captain is truly a man of great principle."

"Don't worry, Captain. We'll only do good deeds and absolutely nothing bad when we go out."

"."

"No need to thank me." The security captain waved his hand. "If you want to thank someone, thank the young marshal. If it weren't for the young marshal's good leadership and the political integrity of Guangdong, in any other place, the four of you would probably have been pushed out as scapegoats to quell public anger long ago."

"Yes, yes, we also have to thank the young marshal."

Mao Jian and the other three nodded in agreement. Although they had never met before, they couldn't help but feel more favorably toward Guan Shaoqing.

Because the four of them were well aware of how chaotic and dark the world was these days. If they had been in a different place, not in eastern Guangdong, they would not have been released unharmed. They would probably have been beaten half to death and tortured before they even got in. Then, regardless of whether they were the murderers or not, they would have been pushed out as scapegoats to silence public opinion.

After expressing their gratitude once again, Mao Jian and his group of four left.

"Young Marshal, as you instructed, the man has been released."

After Mao Jian and his group of four left.

The security captain quickly approached Guan Shaoqing with a respectful and obsequious expression to report.

However, it was Guan Shaoqing's intention that the security captain had just ordered the release of Mao Jian and his group of four.

Guan Shaoqing knew that the demon's main target was Mao Jian and his group of four. As long as the four were released, the demon would definitely seek them out.

"Very good, you don't need to worry about this anymore, I'll take care of it."

"Yes."
-
Stab it--!
boom--!
As night fell, the weather suddenly changed, accompanied by deafening thunder.

The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Master, it looks like it's going to rain heavily."

"Let's find a place to hide first."

"."

Seeing this, Mao Jian and his group of four, who were still searching for the traces of the demon, quickly spoke up.

The four of them immediately quickened their pace and moved forward.

Soon, an abandoned church came into view on the road ahead. The four of them quickly ran to the church entrance.

“Great! There’s a church here. We can rest here tonight.”

Ah Le, Leopard Brother, and Leopard Sister all looked delighted. They had been searching for the human-demon trail for most of the day and were exhausted.

"This church looks like a haunted house."

Mao Jian looked at the church in front of him. As a cultivator who had lived for more than two hundred years, although his strength was mediocre, he still had good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the church was filled with a strong ghostly aura, which meant that it was a haunted house and there were probably quite a few ghosts inside.

"Oh, a haunted house, Master, shall we still go in?"

Upon hearing that it was a haunted house, Ah Le, Brother Leopard, and Sister Leopard's expressions changed again, and they quickly took several steps back, revealing their fear.

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, if people don't bother ghosts, ghosts won't bother people. Although this is a haunted house, there is no resentment here, which shows that the ghosts inside are not evil spirits. As long as everyone avoids each other after entering, it will be fine."

Mao Jian then said, and after speaking, he took the lead and pushed open the door to enter the church.

Seeing Mao Jian go straight into the church, Ah Le, Bo Ge, and Leopard Girl followed him in.

After the four entered the church, they lit the candles inside, instantly illuminating the dark environment.

"Remember not to touch or damage anything in here. We're living peacefully with those ghosts right now, but if you break something and anger them, don't blame me if you're in trouble later."

At this moment, Mao Jian reminded the three of something else.

"You stinky Taoist priest, are you telling the truth? There isn't a single ghost in here. Don't scare us. Besides, this is a church, a sacred place. Even if there were ghosts, how could they possibly hide in a place like this?"

After lighting the candles, Brother Leopard saw that the church was quiet and empty, and he looked at Mao Jiandao with suspicion.

Because of his status as a gang leader, Leopard Brother trusts almost no one except his sister, and he has always been arrogant and domineering. Even now, he wouldn't be with Mao Jian and his apprentice if it weren't for the pressure from the demon.

"Believe it or not, but if you really don't believe it and something bad happens, don't blame me for not warning you."

Mao Jian, too lazy to explain further, simply said that Brother Leopard had no good feelings towards them, and he had no good feelings towards Brother Leopard either. After all, he was not a good person and was the culprit who released the human demon. If it weren't for the fact that Brother Leopard and his sister were both born in the year, month, day, and hour of the Pig, making them the target of the human demon, he wouldn't have bothered with the two siblings.

Just when the atmosphere between the two sides was delicate.

"I apologize for disturbing you four. It's about to rain outside. I was just passing by and came here to take shelter for a while. I hope you will understand."

Just then, a young man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, with a gentle and refined demeanor, who looked like a college student, walked in.

The four young men, including Mao Jian, were all stunned when they saw him walk in. In particular, Leopard Girl's eyes almost instantly turned into hearts.

The young man before them was simply too outstanding in both temperament and appearance; to describe him as gentle and refined, and handsome as jade, would be no exaggeration.

"It's alright, we're all here to take shelter from the rain, come in and join us."

"Leopard Girl quickly said."

"Thank you very much."

The young man immediately smiled and thanked him.

The other three didn't say anything more after seeing that Leopard Girl had spoken, and each found a place to sit down and rest.

The young man walked in and found a place to sit down.

Leopard Girl immediately moved closer to the young man.

What's your name?

"Fleeting light".

"Floating Light? What a strange name. Oh right, my name is Leopard Girl. Let's get to know each other formally."

"Hello."

"Cough-cough-"

Seeing Leopard Girl fawning over the young man with a lovestruck expression, as if she wanted to throw herself at him, Ah Le couldn't help but cough lightly in annoyance. He thought to himself, "What a jerk! She was clinging to me before, but now that she sees someone more handsome, she's going after someone else."

Leopard Girl ignored the sound. She had indeed been interested in Ah Le before, after all, Ah Le was quite handsome.

But now that there's a better option, she'll definitely choose the better one. Although Ah Le is not bad looking, he's worlds apart from the young man in front of her.

Leopard Girl felt that if the young man in front of her were described using words used to describe women, he would be stunningly beautiful. She would be willing to shorten her lifespan by ten years just to sleep with him once.

"It's so boring staying here. How about we go out and do something fun?"

Leopard Girl leaned close to the young man's ear and whispered seductively.

"I'm very good at riding horses."

Upon hearing this, the young man could only sigh and call it a "horse-toothed bug"!
