Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 76 Taiping Sect

Three days later, in the early morning, the drums of war sounded again. The Governor's Office, which had besieged Mihun Bay for a long time, was finally ready to give up.

"Fellow Daoist, please help me defeat the enemy."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lu Chenzhou shouted loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, under the gaze of everyone, a Taoist wearing a black robe and holding a magic sword walked out from another warship. He rose up with the wind, holding the magic sword in his hand, chanting an incantation, and slashed directly at the Mihun Bay with the sword.

In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the invisible sword light directly tore apart the fog in the sky. From a distance, it looked like an immortal's sword falling, splitting the entire Mihun Bay into two. At that time, the clouds and fog dissipated, golden sunlight sprinkled, and a rainbow bridge stretched across the sky. The visual effect was extremely amazing.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Hedu Mansion were shocked, and then they cheered, their morale was greatly boosted. With such people helping them, what was there to fear from the mere Dangjiang bandits?
"Master, Master, can I learn this move?"

On the flagship, seeing the entire Mihun Bay being split apart, a little Taoist boy could not contain his frustration and directly asked Taoist Fang Wen to come out.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Fang Wen’s face suddenly turned dark.

"What are you learning? Do you understand? Go back and copy the Water Annotation Sutra ten times."

Leaving a word behind and flicking his sleeves, Taoist Fang Wen turned and walked into the cabin. Now that things have come to this, the next battle will definitely be extremely smooth.

And the fact is indeed so. With the help of the mysterious Taoist, the army of the River Governor's Office advanced rapidly all the way. Wherever they passed, the Dangjiang bandits were defeated. The governor Lu Chenzhou fought with the bandit leader Tie Ren Tu for hundreds of rounds, and finally knocked the bandit leader into the water and strangled him to death.

The only strange thing in the whole process was that many of the bandits they fought wanted to surrender to them, but the soldiers who had already accepted Lu Chenzhou's military orders showed no mercy and killed them all, turning it into their own military merit.

At the same time, Jiang Chen, who played two roles and successfully exited the stage, returned to the wooden top.

"Have all the traces been faked?"

Standing on a high place with a panoramic view of the entire battlefield, Jiang Chen asked.

Hearing this, Wang Yuan nodded quickly.

"Your Excellency, everyone has been temporarily evacuated, and some unimportant houses have been burned down."

"The other traitors have already been sent aboard. They should have been strangled by the Governor's Office by now. This is their last act of service to you, my Lord."

In a low voice, Wang Yuan recounted everything he had done during this period.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded. Although it was acting, the most basic qualities were still required.

After a while, Skinny Monkey rushed over from the port, and Lu Xuanping came with him.

"Sir, the warships from the Governor's Office have landed and will arrive here soon."

Coming in front of Jiang Chen, the skinny monkey began to report.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Lu Xuanping.

"Greetings, Brother Dao. The Dangjiang bandits have been eliminated. My third uncle asked me to ask what name you plan to give your new sect so he can report it to the court later."

After bowing to Jiang Chen, Lu Xuanping told him the purpose of his visit.

Originally, Lu Chenzhou was planning to come in person, but he changed his mind before leaving, so he asked Lu Xuanping to go on his behalf.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen did not give an immediate answer.

Standing on top of the wooden fish, basking in the sunlight, and looking at the war-torn Mihun Bay, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted away unconsciously. Seeing Jiang Chen like this, everyone fell silent and waited silently.

After a moment, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.

"Peace, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. May my heart be at peace and the world be at peace."

"Also, from today on, the name Jiang Wang has been buried with the Dangjiang Bandits. My name is Jiang Chen."

Leaving a word behind, Jiang Chen floated away.

After hearing this, the reactions of the people present varied. Some were surprised, some were delighted, and some were thoughtful.

"Brother Dao is not only meticulous in his work, but also extremely compassionate."

Looking at Jiang Chen's receding figure, Lu Xuanping's heart was touched.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Jiang Chen, who had been rooted in the bandit's lair for so long, would come up with such a sect name, and he didn't expect that Jiang Chen would change his name.

"Taiping Sect, it seems that this time's choice is indeed the right one."

Shaking his head and smiling, Lu Xuanping turned and left Muyuding.

Born into a noble family, his perspective on things is certainly not simply good or bad, or good and evil, but Jiang Chen was the first person he had contact with, so he naturally hoped that Jiang Chen was a good person. Looking around the world, no matter whether one is good or bad, no one would be willing to be friends or ally with a devil with no bottom line.

Today, the Lu family and the soon-to-be-born Taiping Sect are already substantial allies. No matter what either side thinks, when the Lu family helped Jiang Chen establish the Taiping Sect, the two sides were already on the same side in the eyes of the outside world.

After Lu Xuanping left, Wang Yuan, Shouhou, Cao Banshan and others also began to carry out the final finishing work.

Not long after, officers and soldiers from the Hedufu climbed up to Muyu Peak and cut down the flag of the Dangjiang bandits hanging there. From that moment on, the Dangjiang bandits were completely a thing of the past.

"Jiang Chen? This fellow Daoist Jiang is truly a respectable man."

On the warship, listening to the news brought back by Lu Xuanping and looking into the depths of Muyu Island, a rare smile appeared on Lu Chenzhou's dark face.

The deal between the Lu family and Jiang Chen was actually not very clever. The previous show was just to deceive ordinary people. If someone really wanted to investigate, it would be easy to find out the trick. But no matter what, he thought that Jiang Chen was willing to change his name, which showed his sincerity.

"Send down the order, have the soldiers speed up the cleanup and return to the camp as soon as possible to receive their rewards."

"Also, I told the soldiers not to set fire to the houses, but I can't stand seeing such a sight."

In a good mood, Lu Chenzhou issued two military orders in a row.

Upon hearing this, his personal soldiers immediately went to convey the order. In this way, the Governor's Office cleaned up Muyu Island as quickly as possible and then hurriedly ended the operation.

As the news of the great victory of the Hedu Mansion and the eradication of the Dangjiang bandits spread, many merchants and families in Qinghe County celebrated. The heavy stone hanging in their hearts finally fell today. The Dangjiang bandits were wiped out, and the sky of Qinghe County was bright.

At the same time, the name Jiang Chen spread rapidly in Qinghe County. His deeds of breaking the fog of Mihun Bay with a sword and helping the Governor's Office to destroy the Dangjiang bandits were praised by countless people. Unknowingly, his image of a man with mysterious magical powers and a compassionate heart took shape in everyone's mind.

There were even gossipmongers who spread the title of Feihong Sword Immortal, which corresponded to the vision of Jiang Chen cutting through the clouds with one sword and forming a rainbow bridge across the sky. Many people therefore wanted to become his disciple and learn from him, but no one knew that this Feihong Sword Immortal knew no swordsmanship at all.

It can be said that the Hedu Mansion won this transaction, Jiang Chen also won, and the only loser might be the Gao family.
