The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

As night fell, the dregs of medicine had piled up into a small mountain inside Shen Qing's courtyard.

The last batch of medicine barrels was delivered to Shen Qing's room half an hour ago.

All the captains vaguely sensed a wild, untamed aura, similar to that of a ferocious beast. Those captains with weak willpower were already trembling with fear.

Inside the room, Shen Qing, sitting upright in the medicine barrel, slowly opened his eyes. A faint golden light flashed in his eyes, revealing an untamed aura.

"Have we reached the limits of our physical body again?"

Shen Qing muttered something in disdain.

From today's perspective, the practice of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is a leap in the level of life. If too many leaps are made in a short period of time, the physical body will inevitably collapse. At least the physical body needs to adapt for a period of time.

Stepping out of the bathtub, Shen Qing waved his hand, and a sudden gust of air rose up, blowing the objects in the room to pieces.

With a snap.

The celadon vase in the corner was shattered into several pieces.

This is Shen Qing's current power, so powerful that even Shen Qing himself doesn't know the upper limit of his power.

However, Shen Qing had no intention of stopping there.

Several days have passed, and you should have accumulated quite a few opportunities to upgrade your entries.

With a thought, he opened the attribute panel.

Current cultivation level: First level of the Innate Realm

[Current Cultivation Technique: Overbearing True Qi Technique]

[Current Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Level 4), Wind-Rubbing Saber Technique (Perfect), Free and Easy Step (Perfect)]

[Current term]

[Unfettered Thoughts (Red), Innate Sword Immortal (Red), Physical Sainthood (Red), Innate Six Senses (Red), Slight Toxin Resistance (Green)...]

[Current upgrade opportunity: 6]

"All in!"

Consume four entry upgrade opportunities.

Slightly resistant to poison (green) upgrades to: Amazingly resistant to poison (purple) upgrades to: Impervious to all poisons (gold) upgrades to: Innate poison body (red)

Innate Poison Body (Red): A naturally born poisonous body, the darling of all poisons in the world. Ingesting poisons will no longer cause harm, and the body can absorb the poison to strengthen itself, making the cultivation of poison-attribute techniques and martial arts twice as effective.

Shen Qing chuckled, "Now I lack nothing."

Just as Shen Qing was feeling comfortable, a nerve in her brain suddenly twitched slightly.

A strange feeling surged into Shen Qing's mind; it was the activation of his innate six senses.

"Is someone trying to harm me?"

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qing smiled, a very happy smile. It just so happened that he had broken through the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and had nowhere to use his super strength.

After putting on his flying fish robe, he walked outside, just as the scholar entered the courtyard.

The scholar felt his breath catch for a moment, as if he were facing a savage beast.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and shouted.

"Congratulations, Boss, on mastering this divine skill! Your dominance over the world is just around the corner!"

Shen Qing patted his head: "Stop bragging. How did things go? Did anything happen?"

The scholar quickly handed over the account book: "There are no problems. All of the Blackwater Gang's properties have been seized, and all the disciples scattered throughout the city have been arrested and brought to justice."

"Most sects are still searching for Sun Yun in Luoshui City. They don't know that the treasure has already been obtained by you, Boss. However, because of the Blackwater Gang incident, they are all being more cautious now. It won't be long before they all go back to their own homes."

Shen Qing touched his chin.

Since these martial arts sects are unaware that the treasure has fallen into his hands, they have no reason to plot against him.

Blackwater Gang? They've taken down their stronghold and killed their leader. Plus, Silver Raven sealed off the city last night, so carrier pigeons can't fly out at all. Who's going to avenge them?

The White Dragon Cult? Their stronghold was just wiped out, everyone was left like stray dogs, and the traitors within the Embroidered Uniform Guard were also exposed. They have no time to deal with him now.

Did Shen Qing offend many people in Yongning County? Yes, he did, but few of them are still alive.

The answer is about to become clear.

Ma Kui, right?

But if he were given ten times the courage to take revenge on Shen Qing, would he dare?

Then there's only one possibility: they're going to take action against Shen Qing's men.

Shen Qing turned to the scholar: "Any plans for today?"

The scholar shook his head: "After the Blackwater Gang's assets were seized, most people are now taking inventory, while others are being interrogated in jail."

"Commander Fang has given them orders that none of them will be going home tonight."

"By the way, there is one operation: tonight we need to escort Sun Yun to the Zhenfu Division."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. Ma Kui was going to attack the prisoner being escorted to death? Had he gone mad?

This raises another question: how did Ma Kui know the time of the death row inmate's transport?

The Imperial Guards never had a fixed time for escorting death row inmates; the schedule was always decided on the same day.

That means your subordinates aren't honest.

Just then, a commotion arose outside, and Lin Zikai ran into the yard.

"Sir, Pang Xiyuan, a junior officer under Ma Kui, has arrived. He insists on seeing you, saying he has important matters to report."

"Bring it in."

Soon, the black dog led Pang Xiyuan, who looked like a beggar with a pig's head, into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Pang Xiyuan knelt down and began to preach incoherently.

"Lord Shen, I have important matters to report."

He then recounted everything that had happened at the dinner table, which confirmed Shen Qing's suspicion that Ma Kui intended to take action against the escorting carriage.

Shen Qing chuckled lightly, thinking, "He's really gone mad," before looking at Pang Xiyuan, who resembled a beggar.

"How did it get like this?"

Pang Xiyuan was a little nervous: "I was in a hurry to come out and deliver the message, but then I suddenly thought that Ma Kui might recognize me, so I just randomly picked a beggar on the street and forced him to buy my clothes."

"What happened to your face?"

"I had drunk quite a bit of alcohol at the time, and I was afraid of messing things up, so I slapped myself a few times."

Those around him immediately looked at him with admiration; to be able to slap himself into such a state, he must be a werewolf.

Shen Qing started walking out of the courtyard, and as he passed Pang Xiyuan, he patted him on the shoulder: "Well done."

"Black Dog, take him to get his wounds treated."

"Lin Zikai, go and inform Fang Ming that he doesn't need to go on the escort mission tonight."

"And scholar, go and get me a set of officer's uniform."

......

At 15:00 in the afternoon, the carriage escorting Sun Yun departed precisely from the side gate of the Hundred Households Office.

Outside the Hundred Households Office, in a dark corner, Ma Kui slowly opened his eyes, revealing a cold smile.

With a swift movement, Ma Kui lightly leaped onto the roof and followed at a leisurely pace, proceeding along the predetermined route.

We drove until we reached a quiet street where there was no one around.

Ma Kui's expression grew increasingly manic and ferocious.

"Shen Qing! You can't afford the consequences of offending me!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and four steel rods streaked through the air like silver streaks as they flew toward the carriage.

The four accompanying captains collapsed to the ground without any strength to resist.

Ma Kui quickly landed in front of the carriage, looking at Fang Ming, who was hidden in the darkness, with a mocking expression, and laughed.

"Chief Fang, it's me, Ma Kui. Surprised?"

"I didn't expect you to be the one escorting the carriage. Well, don't blame me then. Who told Shen Qing to look down on me?"

"If I release Sun Yun and then kill you, wouldn't Shen Qing feel bad?"

Ma Kui walked towards Fang Ming while talking to himself. Ma Kui's face turned slightly red when he got excited, but Fang Ming's lack of reaction made him very unhappy.

"Fang Ming? Give me some reaction! What? My breakthrough to the Innate Realm scared you...?"

Ma Kui's voice gradually faded until it was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito, and his face grew increasingly pale.

Moonlight pierced through the dark clouds and illuminated the street. Fang Ming took a step forward into the moonlight, slowly removed his hood, and revealed Shen Qing's innocent-looking smiling face.

"Ma Kui, this is me, Shen Qing."

"Surprised?"
