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

The next day, before dawn, it was still dark.

East Gate.

Strictly speaking, Yongning County can be considered to be in winter after the Autumn Harvest Festival, so the people are still not up at this time.

But by this time, the East Gate was already packed with people.

They were all people who came to see Shen Qing off, and most of them were members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Of course, there were others as well, such as people from the Red Cloud Sect, Shennong Academy, and Ding Yi and his group.

At the very front of the crowd were Shen Qing and Lu Tong.

Lu Tong took an exquisite wooden box off his back: "Shen Qing, your transfer order was urgent, but at least you made it in time."

"Strictly speaking, I, Lu Tong, owe you two lives."

"Although I gave you the merits I had on hand, I feel it's far from enough."

"The knife and bow you used."

"Since Qin Chuan gave you the Nine Lightning Blades, then I will give you something related to bows."

As he spoke, Lu Tong opened the wooden box, and a faint blue light flashed, allowing Shen Qing to see what was inside.

There were nine blue arrows, incredibly sharp.

Lu Tong continued, "This was commissioned by the people of Qingzhou Tiangongfang to make."

"It is called the Wind Chaser Arrow. There are nine of them in total. The arrowhead of each Wind Chaser Arrow is forged from Qingshui Steel, while the arrow body is made from the heartwood of a hundred-year-old Qinglin Wood. Each arrow has the power to penetrate the defense of a Grandmaster."

"When you go to Qingzhou, if you see someone you don't like, just shoot them with this and kill them."

Shen Qing chuckled and took the wooden box: "This is a good thing. You must have spent a lot of money on it."

The Qingshui steel and Qinglin wood are no ordinary materials, especially since they were crafted by the Tiangong Workshop. If the cost of one arrow were converted into Jinyiwei merits, it would probably be no less than three hundred, and nine arrows would cost nearly three thousand.

"They've saved me twice already. If I don't do something in return, what will people say about me? I, Lu Tong, have a reputation to uphold, you know?"

Shen Qing closed the wooden box and handed it to the scholar: "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"By the way, who's that over there? Do I know him? Why is he here to see us off?"

Following Shen Qing's gaze, Lu Tong saw a man with a mustache wearing a black robe, but he was standing at the very front, ahead of the Shennong Academy's Minister of Agriculture and other officials.

Lu Tong chuckled: "Him? He's the prefect. He's been so quiet these past two months, I almost forgot about him."

"The prefect?"

Shen Qing then realized that he had killed the prefect and assistant prefect of Luoshui City in succession, and even replaced the guards of the city. These were all the subordinates of the prefect. Why didn't the prefect utter a single word?

The prefect noticed Shen Qing's gaze, a few beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and he quickly put on a fawning smile, nodding repeatedly.

Who said the prefect didn't take any action?

He had already made his move when Shen Qing executed Zhang Zhu, the prefect, and he used the most common tactic of scholars: submitting a memorial to impeach him.

He immediately wrote several letters to the state government, the gist of which was that Shen Qing was too violent and they should dismiss him from his post immediately.

This move is always effective; even the garrison commander Qin Chuan has suffered a setback from it.

However, this time it had no effect on Shen Qing. Not only was it completely useless, but the people in the state sent him three letters in a row. One letter was cursing him, another was cursing him, and the last letter was also cursing him.

The state officials were practically ready to fly over and elbow him in the face.

He immediately realized that Shen Qing was not someone he could afford to offend.

Strictly speaking, this prefect was the first person in the entire Luoshui City to know that Shen Qing had a terrifying background.

So from then on, the prefect stayed in his house all day and never came out.

Tongzhi? Tongpan? You must not be familiar with them!

Shen Qing looked at his fawning face and didn't bother with him. He had investigated so many people that he had practically stripped the entire city of Luoshui bare.

If they haven't found any fault with the prefect, it means that the prefect may have some minor issues, but he probably hasn't committed any major mistakes.

Shen Qing waved his hand, glanced at the rising sun in the east, and climbed onto the white tiger.

"Alright, it's getting late, I have to go now, you guys should head back early."

Lu Tong nodded: "Alright, it's a long journey ahead, I wish you a smooth journey."

"Isn't there a saying that goes like this?"

"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!"

"Yongning County is too small for you! Jiashui County is just right!"

"I wish the winds of Jiashui County were stronger, so that you could soar straight into the clouds of Dawu and shatter the heavens and earth."

"I'll be waiting for you in Luoshui City, your name echoing throughout the Great Wu!"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "That day won't be long. We'll drink together then!"

"good!"

Shen Qing looked ahead: "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three hundred Imperial Guards mounted their horses in unison, closely following the huge white tiger in front of them, and the majestic Shen Qing on its back.

At the East Gate, everyone had a different expression.

Su Jiudie's eyes were filled with tears, and Jiao Yu sighed as she watched from the side.

My dear nephew, my dear nephew.

No wonder people often say that you shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young, or you'll ruin your life!

Others were also saddened, after all, Yongning County had lost a brilliant and talented garrison commander!

However, there is no time to grieve for the loss of a proud garrison commander in Yongning County.

just now!

Approaching Jiashui County was Shen Qing, who had broken through to the Innate Realm in one month and the Grandmaster Realm in two months, repeatedly defeating the peak Grandmaster Realm while only at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm. He was the judge of evil cultivators, the terminator of blood cultivators, the nemesis of the White Dragon Cult, and the sect's killing machine, known as the World-Saving Yama!
