The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

So, I'm just here to be a mascot.

For the first time, Qin Yangjun began to realize the trouble that his brilliance was too great.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun couldn't help but glance at the two peak masters beside him, who stood like two guardian deities.

The previous assassination attempt had put him on edge; he figured they would stop him if he wanted to go down.

But now is also the perfect time to conserve energy and prepare for the most crucial matter.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun couldn't help but turn his head away.

Those guys should start making their move by now.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Canggu City, at the city gate on the east side, soldiers were evacuating ordinary people who were fleeing. The crowd was so large that they did not notice that several figures were "going against the flow" in the crowd.

Several men in black robes evaded the soldiers and entered Canggu City without incident.

"Xiao Peng Wang's things are really useful. I didn't expect them to be able to block the Demon Suppression Stele. Why didn't he bring out such a good thing sooner?"

A man in a black robe looked at the leader, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath the hood.

"Take it out sooner? You're really talking without thinking. This 'Avoidance Jade' is extinct. Once it's used this time, it'll be gone!"

"Hehe, I see. Don't get excited, Little Peng King. Let's proceed as planned and split up. Once it's done, I will deliver on my promise in full."

Xiao Peng Wang snorted coldly. If he hadn't been willing to exchange it for heavenly treasures, he wouldn't have bothered bringing this guy along.

Keep in mind that this trip was for theft, and with so many people around, it would be easy to be spotted.

"But what about you? Why did you insist on coming along?"

"To be honest, Little Peng King, yesterday we were supposed to be meeting up with the Heavenly Fox King. But outside Canggu City, I found a disciple of the Yuqian Sect. I used a little trick to make him unconscious and searched his memories. In his memories, there was a woman who intrigued me greatly. She was actually a legendary immortal-grade talent..." As he spoke, a trace of saliva seemed to drip from the corner of his mouth.

"Oh...I see."

The demon king in front of them cultivates a technique related to food. In his eyes, cultivators are like tonics, and the quality of their physical constitution determines the strength of the tonic's effects.

The demon king in front of us is stuck at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation. If he can devour that cultivator with the celestial-grade root bone, he will probably be able to break through the barrier.

No wonder he was willing to trade his vast wealth for treasures.

However, Xiao Peng Wang soon realized something.

"What about the kid you knocked unconscious? You didn't kill him, did you?"

Killing people is nothing to him; what Xiao Peng Wang fears is that it will affect his plans.

Yin Kangxuehan's defeat had already prompted Canggu City to mobilize a significant number of nearby troops to gather here. Now, Canggu City's strength is twice as strong as before; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many powerful individuals to launch a feint attack at the front.

The original plan was for a small-scale war, but now two demon kings have gone to the front lines, and more than a dozen cave masters at the Void Realm have also been transferred.

If another disciple of the Yuqian Sect dies under mysterious circumstances before the war even begins...

Then it's likely that some powerful figures will arrive from the Yuqian Sect.

He had been planning this infiltration for a long time, and if it all fell apart because of this, he would probably be tempted to kill the person in front of him.

"Don't worry, Little Peng King. I know your concerns. I didn't kill him. He's just a kid who barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage. It doesn't matter whether I kill him or not. He's probably on the western city wall of Canggu City right now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Peng Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The person you want is probably on the city wall right now. Where are you going to make your move?"

"Hehe, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Right now, Zhuang Hancheng and his friend are being entangled with the other two demon kings, so they have no time to worry about what's happening on the city wall. Besides, don't you have things to do?"

His intention seemed quite clear: he was waiting for Xiao Peng Wang to make a move so he could take advantage of the chaos to strike.

"Hmph, you're quite clever. Fine, do whatever you want, just don't bother me."

With that, Little Peng King and his men transformed into streaks of light and rushed toward the City Lord's Mansion.

About a quarter of an hour later, a deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted from the city lord's mansion.

Qin Yangjun immediately perked up.

coming!

At this moment, Zhuang Hancheng, who was engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, noticed the commotion. He shook off the demon king who was fighting with him with a palm and looked towards the direction of the city lord's mansion with a grim expression.

Damn it! So these guys came for the corpse!

When Mu Xianxian killed the White Feather Golden-Winged Roc King, she couldn't fully extract the true essence because the White Feather Golden-Winged Roc King's ferocious aura was too strong, and long-distance transportation might damage the true essence.

Therefore, Mu Xianxian had the elders of the Yuqian Sect suppress its corpse in the City Lord's Mansion, and the dragon's roar just now was a sign of breaking the seal.

Judging from the situation, the remains must have been removed.

No, we must mobilize manpower immediately to return to defense.

However, at that moment, Qin Yangjun's voice suddenly came from below.

"Lord of the city, don't worry, leave everything inside to me."

A moment of hesitation flashed through Zhuang Hancheng's mind.

If the remains are stolen, it would be another dereliction of duty, and he would really lose his position as city lord.

But if I don't agree...

Seeing Zhuang Hancheng in a daze, the demon king smiled slightly. The next second, a cloud of poisonous mist suddenly exploded in the sky, engulfing Zhuang Hancheng's body.

The soldiers guarding the city below changed their expressions, just as a beam of light flashed through the poisonous gas.

Zhuang Hancheng's voice came from the sky.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, young master!"

Chapter Fifty-Six: Blocking the Door

Upon hearing Zhuang Hancheng's voice, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yangjun glanced at the battlefield.

The battle is currently at a stalemate. Apart from the peak master and deacons around him, everyone else, including Hua Yaoyao and Jiang Yanfeng, has joined the fight.

The disciples of the Yuqian Sect that could be mobilized were similar to those in the book, all cultivators below the Golden Core stage, including Yu Lingyue, Qian Xiaoyu, and Li Xuanyang.

Qin Yangjun had a premonition that something strange might happen again.

But precisely because he was afraid of any unforeseen problems, he had to bring the Jade Feather Key with him.

If this demon king doesn't escape along the predetermined route and goes somewhere else, where the defenses aren't strong enough, he might actually escape.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun turned to the four people beside him and gave them instructions.

"This city defense formation only has four exits, which are the four city gates. I hope the four of you will split into two groups, each taking a disciple of my Yuqian Sect, and head to the north and south gates respectively. I will take Ling'er to the east gate, and we will definitely catch those rats who have sneaked in!"

"Young Master, you mustn't! If we leave you and something like what happened before happens again, we won't be able to face the Sect Master!"

The people around them echoed.

"Yes, young master, if something happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to you."

“The demon race is cunning. Taking only Ling’er with you is probably not enough.”

"At least let me come along."

This was a situation that Qin Yangjun had anticipated, so he had already prepared his explanation.

"The fact that the Demon-Suppressing Stele didn't give any warning means that the demon that came wasn't very strong. I had you join the team to prepare for any unexpected situations. The East Gate, where I am, is very close to both sides of you, so you can get here quickly. Do you understand?"

Then Qin Yangjun summoned Blood Chant.

"If you keep dawdling with me, those monsters might steal the stuff and run away. Do as I say!!"

Before anyone could object, Qin Yangjun finished speaking and left on his sword with Ling'er.

The two stewards were also unsure of what to do, so they looked at the other two peak masters.

One of them gritted his teeth.

"The remains of the previous demon king are also quite important, as they relate to a secret treasure. Since things have come to this, we can only do as you say, but we must keep a close eye on the jade tablet's movements. If there is any problem, we must immediately go and support you."

The other peak master also nodded.

"It can only be this way."

He then began to communicate telepathically with the people below the city wall...

"Yu Lingyue, Qian Xiaoyu, Li Xuanyang, ..."

On the other side, Qin Yangjun did not rush to the city lord's mansion, but went straight to the east city gate, because in the book, that was the escape route of Xiao Pengwang.

Upon arriving at his destination, Qin Yangjun saw two armored soldiers guarding the gate.

The two hurriedly went to meet them.

"Master Qin."

"Go out, close the city gates, and stand guard outside. Do not open them without my order."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, carried out Qin Yangjun's instructions.

Both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the huge city gate slowly closed as they pushed it shut.

Ling'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak seriously:

"Young Master, should we make any preparations?"

Qin Yangjun had already instructed Zhuang Hancheng to make the preparations in advance, but he couldn't tell Ling'er because he couldn't explain his ability to foresee the future.

boom!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out, sending countless fragments flying. A hurricane, a mixture of spiritual and demonic power, rushed towards the two of them.

Ling'er immediately became alert, her fox ears standing upright as she looked in the direction of the explosion.

But Qin Yangjun breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to worry about other troublesome matters. This part of the plot went smoothly, and Xiao Peng Wang had indeed chosen this path.

Judging from the situation, it seems that Little Peng King has been fighting against the things that Zhuang Hancheng set up.

Then things will probably be much simpler from here on out.
