Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

Yue Zai was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng.

"What...what are you two going to do?"

"To rid the people of harm."

With a single sword strike, Song Xun killed Yue Zai. Then, Song Xun used his teleportation technique to leave the place with Jiang Wanfeng.

Song Xun led Jiang Wanfeng to sneak into Yue Zai's mansion. The girl was locked in the woodshed by Yue Zai, probably because Yue Zai had a wife and was afraid of being discovered by her.

"Shhh."

When the girl saw Song Xun and his companion, she was about to speak when Song Xun stopped her.

"We're here to rescue you, don't make a sound."

After all, Song Xun and his companion were planning to stay at Zhenyao Pass for a long time, so they naturally couldn't openly kill Yue Zai.

Magistrate Yue Zai was a corrupt official who poisoned the people, but since he was also an official appointed by the imperial court, Song Xun and his companion naturally could not reveal that Yue Zai had been executed.

After taking the girl home, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng secretly returned to the inn.

"That corrupt official has finally been eliminated."

Jiang Wanfeng was very happy with tonight's actions because she was a girl who loved to punish evil and promote good.

"Extorting money is one thing, but I never expected that Yue Zai would also forcibly abduct women and harm the people, causing the people of Luoshi County to live in misery."

During the day, after Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng made their inquiries, they discovered that Yue Zai, the magistrate of Luoshi County, was a notorious villain who committed all sorts of evil deeds, and the people of the county loathed him.

This wasn't the first time Yue Zai had forcibly abducted women. Furthermore, he had secretly increased taxes without informing his superiors, seized farmland from the people, and amassed a fortune.

This was something Song Xun hadn't expected. He had thought that since this place was so close to the outside world, the local people would be well cared for. However, he never imagined that, far from the emperor's reach, the local officials would behave in such a despicable way.

This made Song Xun vaguely worried about the situation at Zhenyao Pass. If the guards at Zhenyao Pass were like this, then Zhenyao Pass was probably not as sturdy as rumored.

Song Xun's original plan was to return to the Beast Taming Sect to return the magic weapon after obtaining the Probing Needle, and then return to the Demon Suppression Pass for a period of time to hone his skills.

If the Demon Suppression Pass is like this, then Song Xun will have to consider whether he should return here again.

Moreover, Song Xun learned from the local people that most officials in the counties of the Hantian Dynasty were of this kind.

Song Xun couldn't help but think of Tang He. Tang He was the one who truly served as an official and brought benefits to the people of Zuoping County, earning their deep love and respect.

Even the people of Luoshi County yearn for Zuoping County, which makes Song Xun realize that good officials like Tang He are actually a minority in the Hantian Dynasty.

In such a vast dynasty, the officialdom had become so corrupt. Song Xun wondered how long the false prosperity of the Hantian Dynasty could be sustained if things continued this way.

It was because of hearing about Yue Zai's affairs that Song Xun decided to get rid of Yue Zai. Although he couldn't control the entire Hantian Dynasty, this bastard Yue Zai was right in front of him, and since he had encountered him, he naturally had to act on behalf of Heaven.

Song Xun wasn't afraid that anyone would trace it back to him, since there was no evidence at the scene, and Yue Zai was a notorious villain. Hearing that he was dead would only make the people of Luoshi County happy.

Afterwards, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng prepared to rest separately.

The next morning, the two were having breakfast on the first floor of the inn when they overheard the conversations of the people around them.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, that bastard Yuezai was beheaded on his way home."

"Great! That corrupt official is finally dead. Our Luoshi County can finally have peace."

"It's hard to say. All crows are black, and the newly arrived ones aren't necessarily much better than Yuezai."

Clearly, the trust of those around them in the Hantian Dynasty had plummeted to rock bottom.

"However, I heard that Yue Zai's son is a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I wonder which brave warrior rid the people of this scourge."

"Yue Zai's son is no better. I just hope that brave man won't be found out, otherwise the Qingyun Sect will have a very hard time dealing with him."

Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng were having a meal when they heard about the Qingyun Sect. They remembered that the Qingyun Sect was one of the seven first-class sects, and its overall strength was slightly stronger than that of the Wanjian Sect.

"Wanfeng seems to have gotten into big trouble."

Song Xun whispered to Jiang Wanfeng with a smile, but in fact he did not regret it. If Yue Zai, such a scourge, was not eliminated now, when would he have the chance?

Moreover, given the speed of my cultivation progress, even if a conflict were to break out with the Qingyun Sect, they would probably not mobilize their entire force for the sake of a single disciple.

So he's just a true disciple, he doesn't pose a threat to me.

At Zhenyao Pass, the guards had already come down to meet Song Xun. When Gu Song, the general guarding Zhenyao Pass, heard that Lin Canghai had sent someone, he also hurriedly sent people down to greet them. At this time, they arrived at the inn in Luoshi County.

"Greetings, Peak Master Song. I am Zhou Fan, the captain of the seventh team of the Demon Suppression Pass. I have been sent by General Gu to escort you into the pass."

"That would be too much trouble for you, Captain Zhou."

Afterwards, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng followed Zhou Fan to Zhenyao Pass.

At this moment, Zhao Tianzhen, who was on her way, was heading towards the western part of Cangwu County with great enthusiasm, but halfway there, a cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped her, and Zhao Tianzhen immediately fell into a coma.

When Zhao Tianzhen opened his eyes again, he had been taken to a cave, surrounded by four or five men in black.

"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

The man in black who had just asked the question immediately released a swarm of bloodthirsty worms, which crawled onto Zhao Tianzhen's legs.

In an instant, Zhao Tianzhen's pants were completely devoured, and the swarm of demonic insects began to gnaw at his thighs.

Zhao Tianzhen cast a spell, trying to stand up, but found herself completely powerless and unable to move.

"Do you know who I am? I am the eldest disciple of the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

"Even if you're not, we won't arrest you."

Seeing that Zhao Tianzhen was still not behaving herself, the man in black urged the bloodthirsty worms to bite faster. Soon, blood began to flow from Zhao Tianzhen's leg, and her entire thigh was covered with bloodthirsty worms.

"Ahhh, I'll talk, I'll talk."

The bites of blood-sucking worms not only cause wounds, but the pain is also extremely unbearable.

At this moment, Zhao Tianzhen was in so much pain that she immediately begged for mercy. Seeing that Zhao Tianzhen was willing to talk, the man in black put away the bloodthirsty worms again.

"Has your sect leader's daughter gone down the mountain for training?"

Upon hearing the man in black ask this question, Zhao Tianzhen immediately understood why everyone wanted to tie her up.

But how could he reveal his junior sister's whereabouts, especially since he had been in love with Jiang Wanfeng for many years?

Seeing that Zhao Tianzhen remained silent, the man in black summoned the bloodthirsty worms again.
