Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 179 Starting with the Guangdong Provincial Supervisor

Sun Zhou successfully brought the children back, only to find Li Xuan deep in thought at the City God Temple.

He asked with concern, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Li Xuan looked at Sun Zhou and said seriously, "We may have to split up. You two can head north to Maoshan and seek refuge with Mao Qing, the leader of Maoshan. He is an extraordinary person and a righteous man! In the future, when the pressure from the Qing court is less, we can start an uprising directly, which will reduce a lot of casualties."

Sun Zhou sensed that Li Xuan seemed to be planning something extraordinary and asked with some concern, "Are you going to do something risky?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I am actually from another world, and I know some things in advance. However, my time in this world is limited, so I want to use forceful means to slightly change this world within that limited time, so that the people can live a slightly better life..."

Sun Zhou was somewhat shocked, but after thinking about Li Xuan's amazing methods, he immediately felt relieved.

He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I wonder what arrangements you would like to make, sir?"

Li Xuan said, "I cannot say, not because I do not trust you, but because I am worried about causing trouble."

Sun Zhou was silent for a moment before saying, "Since you insist, then I wish you a safe journey and a triumphant return!"

Li Xuan spent a day at the City God Temple, preparing a stack of talismans for everyone, including protective spells, speed spells, warmth spells, and healing spells, to ensure their safety on their journey to Maoshan.

The next day, they were about to leave.

The mute girl had a deep affection for Li Xuan and was very reluctant to part with him. When she finally sat in the carriage and poked her head out of the window, her eyes were filled with tears.

Li Xuan waved goodbye at the entrance of the City God Temple; perhaps this was the last time he would see the mute girl.

The City God Temple became deserted. Li Xuan organized the countermeasures he had come up with. It was now 1900, during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi, and there were still many things that had not yet happened.

He wants to start from Guangzhou and carry out a cleansing and support of the world.

The initial plan is to eliminate the core corrupt officials, protect the spark of reform, and inspire public awareness.

However, there are three actions that require caution to avoid causing greater chaos.

First, Cixi cannot be killed directly; a method must be found to let her die slowly. Otherwise, if she dies too quickly, it will create a power vacuum in the Qing court and cause the power struggle to become even more chaotic!
Secondly, Emperor Guangxu was still a spiritual icon for many reformists, so we had to preserve him for now!

Third, with the great powers eyeing us covetously, any targeted actions must be taken covertly…

Based on this timeline, Li Xuan devised a route.

In Guangdong today, for example, if you go to the Thirteen Factories in Guangzhou, there is the Guangdong Maritime Superintendent, Zhuang Shan. Opium is spreading throughout the country, and this guy is largely to blame! The main reason is that he embezzled 300,000 taels of silver a year and condoned opium smuggling, causing countless people to become addicted to opium, damaging their spirits and ruining their careers!

Li Xuan stopped acting altogether, covered his legs with Swiftness Talismans, and headed straight for his destination at inhuman speed.

When he arrived at the customs office on Lianxing Street in the Thirteen Factories, he found that the officials there were all arrogant and haughty. Under the glare of the mirror, eighty percent of their faces showed signs of bloodlust, indicating that they had killed many people.

In front of the government office, an official, his right hand on his scabbard, coldly demanded, "Who goes there? State your name!"

Li Xuan walked over, swung his right hand, and his 1.4-meter-long Miao sword sliced ​​across the necks of the two soldiers. They found the world starting to spin, and then they saw their own headless corpses falling to the ground.

The Mirror of Retribution, invisible to ordinary people, floated in front of Li Xuan like a luminous detector. He held his Miao sword, kicked open the door, the tip of the blade not dragging on the ground—not because he didn't want to, but to protect the blade…

The sound of the door being kicked open drew out several constables from the yamen. They drew their swords and rushed forward, attempting to subdue Li Xuan. However, in the first exchange, the heads of five out of the six men rolled on the ground.

The mirror showed that the remaining officials did not exhibit any negative aura on their faces.

Li Xuan looked at him and said, "Let's go. Remember to do good deeds."

This long sword was like the one used by Qi Jiguang's army to fight the Japanese pirates, except that it had a long handle and a long blade, with the edge only at the end, about the size of a palm! The only soldier was terrified. Facing Li Xuan, he walked with his back pressed against the wall, twisting and turning as he ran out of the gate.

Li Xuan walked straight into the reception room, sat down in a chair, and looked at the few people who ran out again, saying, "I want to see your Guangdong Customs Superintendent Zhuang Shan. Don't keep me waiting."

The corpses lying in the courtyard and through the gate made these people realize that Li Xuan was no ordinary person. One of them ran inside, seemingly to deliver a message...

After a while, a large contingent of officers and soldiers arrived and blocked the front and back gates.

Li Xuan remained unmoved and simply asked, "Has Zhuang Shan arrived?"

Just then, a portly man dressed in brocade robes walked out from behind. He wore an official's hat, squinted, and looked Li Xuan up and down, saying, "Who told you I was here?"

The information was naturally leaked by Lu Jian and Wang An, the two clerks. Since Li Xuan was going to start a killing spree, he needed to narrow down his targets to avoid accidentally killing innocent people.

Li Xuan placed the Miao sword on the table and said, "Why all the talk when I'm going to take your life?"

Having laid down their weapons, Zhuang Shan's eyes lit up. He quietly approached and chuckled, "Young brother, don't get excited. So many people have tried to kill me and failed. What makes you think you can win? Why don't you take my advice? You've got guts. You can easily find a job under me."

boom!
Li Xuan held the Black Star pistol in his left hand, with wisps of blue smoke rising from the muzzle.

Zhuang Shan maintained his smiling expression, but then fell straight down. His subordinates cautiously approached to check, only to find a hole in Yue Shan's forehead; he had been shot to death…

These men knew about foreign guns, but the one Li Xuan took out was quite exquisite, completely unlike any pistol they usually saw.

Li Xuan glanced at everyone present, tapped his index finger, and said, "You, you, you can leave now. Everyone else, stay."

The person whose name was called dared not move, not knowing what Li Xuan was up to. He shouted, "You killed the supervisor, we can't just take your head and die!"

Li Xuan didn't explain, he just said, "Okay."

He placed his right hand on his Miao sword, and sprang up from his chair like a rabbit. His 1.4-meter-long sword swept across the reception hall like a scythe, lives were as cheap as grass, blood splattered, heads rolled! In just a few breaths, six or seven officials had their heads ripped off and lay on the ground…

These supernatural methods and decisive killings made the surviving officials consider fleeing.

Li Xuan remained silent, only brandishing his Miao sword, slaying all those whose names were marked "Crimson" in the Mirror of Retribution. As soon as they died by his blade, their souls left their bodies, and the sound of chains echoed in the darkness. Their souls showed expressions of terror before disappearing...

He knew that this world was connected to Fengdu Hell, and that souls had a place to go. Therefore, the sins of those killed by the Mirror of Retribution were immediately dragged to Hell.
