Chapter 464: Madness leads to disaster

"Master Zhou!"

Xi Rong roared angrily, and his body moved like lightning, rushing into the hall of Zhenliuxuan like an excited beast.

The two men in black robes were ruthless and did not linger on after they succeeded. The moment they successfully killed Zhou Quan, they moved extremely agilely and retreated quickly like ghosts.

They flashed and hid behind the pillars in the hall in an instant. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.

By the time Xi Rong rushed into the hall anxiously and chased to the pillar, the two men had already disappeared completely, without even a trace of their clothes left behind.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of trick is this?"

Xi Rong gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with anger as he looked around the hall. But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't figure out what kind of strange methods the two men in black robes had used, nor where they had evacuated from.

But the situation was urgent and he couldn't afford to think too much.

Xi Rong was extremely anxious and rushed to Zhou Quan's side.

At this time, Zhou Quan was already out of breath, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to still have some unfulfilled desire.

Xi Rong looked at his corpse, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his knuckles crackling, the sound seemed to be an outlet for his inner anger.

"Asshole..."

"Asshole!!!"

Xi Rong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared to the sky, his roar filled with regret and remorse.

Deep down in his heart, Xi Rong has always been quite disgusted with Zhou Quan, and he often hopes that Zhou Quan can disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

But that is just based on personal likes and dislikes, an emotional emotion.

In particular, Xi Rong has been in officialdom for a long time and is well versed in the ways of being an official. He knows that he must not act solely based on personal preferences, and he must not act impulsively.

From a rational point of view, Xi Rong didn't want Zhou Quan to die at this moment at all.

Especially tonight!
It was precisely for this reason that he had been patient, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction and protecting Zhou Quan.

As the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhou Quan's official position is not high and the power in his hands is not great, but his existence has great symbolic significance!
His death will surely shock the entire capital!

What's more, Xi Rong and Zhou Quan have been in the same place tonight.

Now Zhou Quan died in unclear circumstances and the murderer has disappeared without a trace. As someone who was present at the scene, Xi Rong is bound to be implicated and held responsible.

If Zhou Quan's death leads to Liang Jin's affair, he might even have a hard time keeping his position as battalion commander!

"come out!!!"

Xi Rong suddenly roared.

This roar, carried with it the powerful inner strength of a fourth-grade warrior, was like a thunderclap exploding from the ground, rolling in and sweeping across the entire venue. Its volume was so loud that it actually suppressed the sounds of fierce fighting among the many warriors outside.

The warriors who were caught in the melee couldn't help but pause, and looked in the direction of Xi Rong with surprise on their faces.

Xi Rong strode out of Zhenliuxuan with a stern expression, his eyes like cold stars, slowly scanning everyone, and then roared again:

"Get out of here!"

"I know you're here! You bastard!"

"What's the point of sneaking around in the dark?!"

"Aren't you here for me? I'm right here, come out if you have the guts!!!"

His voice was like a huge bell, resounding throughout the entire venue, causing pain in the eardrums of everyone around him, and many people even subconsciously covered their ears.

Xi Rong was really angry.

At this moment, he was basically certain in his mind that this series of events must be related to Liang Jin!
Liang Jin was simply crazy. He actually dared to attack Zhou Quan, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. This was undoubtedly a terrible disaster!

At the same time, he also clearly realized that Liang Jin must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, with Liang Jin's current crazy state, no one knows what shocking things he will do before his death, and how chaotic the situation will be.

At this moment, Xi Rong finally had to admit that Liang Jin was indeed qualified to cause him big trouble.

The warriors around him looked at his crazy appearance with confusion on their faces, and whispered to each other:
"Who is this idiot? Why is he yelling here?"

"We're here for the treasure. This guy doesn't look like a treasure hunter, and that's not how he joins in the fun!"

"Don't bother with him! Let's continue to seize the treasure. If he dares to attack us, we will kill him together!"

……

The warriors were so focused on the treasure that they had no time to care about Xi Rong.

If it weren't for Xi Rong's high martial arts skills and the look of someone who wasn't someone to be trifled with, a warrior would have probably stepped forward and slashed him a few times.

Although Xi Rong's martial arts skills are very strong, there are also many masters among these warriors.

The reason why those masters have not taken action yet is simply because they have no conflict of interest with Xi Rong for the time being.

Immediately, a large number of warriors either used their lightness skills to fly towards the roof of Zhenliuxuan like a swallow; or rushed into Zhenliuxuan like a tide, trying to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the battle puppets in the formation.

On the roof, the battle puppets in the formation still firmly controlled the advantageous terrain.

The roof area of ​​Zhenliuxuan is limited, and the formation war puppets cleverly set up a powerful Seven-Star Sword Formation. Anyone who climbs onto the roof will be instantly trapped in the formation and face fierce attacks from all directions of the formation war puppets.

Therefore, even though the battle puppets in the formation are outnumbered, they are still able to hold on tenaciously until now.

Warriors kept flying up, and warriors kept falling down screaming after being beaten.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the smell of blood filled the entire roof.

The warriors ignored Xi Rong, and Xi Rong also had no intention of paying attention to these warriors at this moment.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he seemed to have gone mad and continued to roar:
"Did you hear that?!"

"Weren't you very crazy just now? Didn't you want to kill me?"

"Come on! Come out!!!"

He did not call out Liang Jin's name because he knew very well that if this matter was easily seen through by others, it would bring him greater trouble.

As long as he could kill Liang Jin as soon as possible, he might still have a chance to save the situation.

He firmly believed that Liang Jin would respond!

Because Liang Jin's arrogance has long been ingrained in his bones, to the point of being boundless!
A small soldier, even if he was promoted to a flag commander and had the help of a few men in black robes, actually thought that he could have complete control over the capital!
As the saying goes, when the weather is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be disaster.

Xi Rong swore that he would let Liang Jin know the consequences of his arrogance!
Not attending as Rong expected.

Soon, a voice as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell sounded indifferently beside Xi Rong's ears:

"The roof of Shuyu Tower."

"Waiting for you, come quickly."

This voice was obviously made by the martial art of transmitting sound into secret. The voice was like a silk thread, passing through all the warriors and entering the ears of Xi Rong alone.

Xi Rong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he instantly recognized that the voice was Liang Jin's!

Of course, he was very familiar with the place called Shuyu Tower, which was just across the street from Zhenliuxuan.

Immediately, Xi Rong turned his gaze and looked across the street impatiently.

On the roof of a three-story building, a figure was quietly sitting cross-legged. When Xi Rongyun gathered all his strength and took a closer look, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face:
"It's really you!"

The person sitting upstairs at this time was none other than Liang Jin!

Liang Jin had already taken off his imperial guard uniform and changed into a light casual outfit.

He was high above, looking down upon all living beings.

After he glanced at Xi Rong lying on the ground, he slowly took out a peculiarly shaped mask and put it on his face.

The mask was mainly in black and white, with a white face and white eyes, and black ink outlining the bridge of the nose and eye sockets. It also had a mouth that seemed to be smiling at any time, but with a weird look.

On the forehead of the mask, there is a bright red eyeball with a narrow vertical pupil.

When Liang Jin put on the mask and looked at Xi Rong, Xi Rong didn't know why, but felt as if Liang Jin had seen through him. An inexplicable chill surged from deep within his heart.

It turned out that Liang Jin was not hiding, but had been watching everything silently from this high place, like a big hand hidden in the darkness, controlling the development of the situation on the scene.

When Xi Rong saw that Liang Jin was really waiting for him, he immediately stopped being impatient.

He used his internal strength and pushed away the warriors blocking the road in front of him with his hands like a tidal wave, and began to stride towards where Liang Jin was.

Xi Rong did not rashly use his Qinggong skills to fly up to find Liang Jin.

Because until now, he has not found the whereabouts of those men in black robes.

Xi Rong could be sure that among the men in black robes, at least one of them possessed the strength of the fourth rank.

Although it was a head-on battle, Xi Rong was not afraid because of the imperial guards martial arts he had learned.

But he was worried that when he used his lightness skills to fly up, he would be in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage and would be attacked by the man in black robe.

Therefore, Xi Rong did not walk fast, but each step was extremely steady, as if his feet were nailed to the ground, showing his cautious attitude.

Just as Xi Rong walked onto the street, the situation suddenly changed.

"Boom!"

A dull roar suddenly came from a distance.

The sound was like thunder rolling in from the sky, so much so that the street began to vibrate slightly.

It was as if there were thousands of troops galloping in the distance, bringing with it a heart-pounding sense of oppression.

The roar accompanied by vibrations came from far away and became clearer and clearer, finally causing the warriors who were fighting fiercely to pause, each with a look of horror on their face, looking towards the distance of the street.

Xi Rong couldn't help but turn his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the end of the street.

next moment.

I saw a group of riders emerging like a black tide!

This group of riders all wore pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small belts around their waists. They all stood tall and majestic.

The leading row of riders held high a long black flag in their hands.

On the black flag, words such as "Internal Transport Warehouse", "Imperial Employment Bureau", and "Investigation Factory" were written in eye-catching yellow characters.

These riders are majestic and most importantly, they exude an air of arrogance, as if they don't take anyone in front of them seriously.

When the warriors saw these flags, their expressions changed drastically, as if they had seen ghosts.

They naturally knew the identities of these riders.

These flags are the symbols of the investigation agency and are often used to indicate the agency's identity and power. They also serve as a warning and deterrent.

After the flags of these detective agencies appeared, the warriors really fell into panic.

"Oh no! It's the flag officer from the investigation department!"

"Damn it! The detectives are coming! Run!"

"These damn bastards, if they come, it's bound to be bad news! Everyone, get out of the way and don't bump into them!"

"We've been making trouble for so long, and the government has finally come to suppress us. If we don't run away now, it will be too late!"

……

In an instant, a large number of warriors began to flee like birds and beasts.

Most of these warriors came for the excitement or to take advantage of the situation, and their martial arts skills were not very high.

This also made them panic in advance when facing the detectives from the police station.

After all, in the martial arts world, there has always been a saying: It is better to offend the Six Gates than to offend the Investigation Bureau.

The Six Gates emphasize order and stability in their actions. Most of the time, they at least follow the law and can reason with others.

However, the Investigation Bureau only cares about absolute loyalty to the emperor!

Since one must be loyal to the emperor, all laws and principles must be thrown aside.

The people from the police station want to kill someone, but they won't waste time arguing with you.

really!

Among the group of riders from the police station, someone shouted coldly:
"You're so bold to gather and riot near the Royal Pond Garden at night, breaking the law with force!"

"Do you still take the imperial court seriously? Do you still take the emperor seriously?"

"Kill these traitors without mercy!!!"

As the voice sounded, the group of riders on horseback skillfully drew their bows and arrows.

"Shhhhh!"

A dense rain of arrows rose from the riders, like a black cloud, and fell mercilessly towards the warriors gathered in front of Zhenliuxuan.

Seeing this, the warriors were immediately frightened and panicked, and hurriedly dodged in all directions.

But it was too late.

As the rain of arrows fell suddenly, the warriors fell to the ground with screams.

For a moment, cries, screams, and roars were intertwined, and the scene was in chaos.

Some warriors were hit by feather arrows and subconsciously reached out to pull out the arrows.

Immediately, an experienced warrior shouted:
"You can't pull it out forcefully!"

"The arrows used by the Investigation Bureau are barbed arrows with canine teeth! They are equipped with a mechanism and there is no way to pull them out."

"Pulling it out forcefully will not only widen the wound, but will also pull out your internal organs!"

When the warriors heard this, they were so frightened that they dared not pull out the arrows. Instead, they endured the severe pain and tried to hide in the Zhenliu Pavilion to seek a little shelter.

At this time, the detectives from the police station had already rushed into the crowd on horseback like a hurricane.

These barbarians were too lazy to even speak reason. The long swords in their hands flashed with cold light and they swung them towards the warriors.

Many warriors were lucky enough not to die in the rain of arrows, but were tragically killed by the swords of these barbarians.

This caused the scene to be extremely noisy with sounds of fighting and the smell of blood filled the entire space.

It was as if this street had turned into a cruel Shura field...
