Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Let's go back to half an incense stick's time ago.

County Lieutenant's Mansion.

"Master Shang! That culprit... he's rushing out of the manor!"

A servant rushed into the main hall of the prefectural commandant's residence in a fluster and reported to Shang Youcai, who was sitting in a grand chair.

Shang Youcai's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

As the commander of a prefecture, he was actually threatened in broad daylight with someone saying they would kill him in his own residence!

This is truly a disgrace!

but……

According to the information received, the assailant who wanted to break into his mansion was extremely powerful and had extraordinary strength; he was no ordinary martial artist!

Even the several third-rate martial artists from the martial arts school who joined forces to fight the thug were no match for him.

That thug has probably already reached the level of a first-rate martial artist!

In Hongyan County today, perhaps only the retired master of Baiyun Martial Arts School can stand up to him head-on!

Upon hearing that the assailant's target was him, Shang Youcai immediately sent someone to invite the old master of Baiyun Martial Arts School.

It would take the old master some time to get from Baiyun Martial Arts School to his prefectural governor's office.

Fortunately, the assailant stormed into the city but did not rush to the prefectural governor's office.

Instead, they slowly and leisurely killed the martial artists who blocked their way, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Making no attempt to conceal his whereabouts, he allowed Shang Youcai to know in advance that he was the killer's target.

The assailant's arrogance gave Shang Youcai time to invite the old master and to dispatch the city's Hundred-Refined Army to the prefectural governor's office to protect him!

As long as the old master, a first-rate martial artist, and the Hundred Refinements Army arrive to protect him.

No matter how powerful that assailant is, he could never possibly harm me!

just.

The thought of the assailant breaking into the city and making no attempt to conceal his intention to kill him filled Shang Youcai with a surge of anger.

What does the perpetrator's action signify?

This shows that he doesn't take him, the county magistrate, seriously at all!

Previously, Shang Youcai had learned from his scouts that the murderer claimed his name was Qin Muyuan and that he came from the Fenglingyueying Sect.

Upon hearing this name, Shang Youcai was still pondering why Qin Muyuan had approached him.

It wasn't until his concubine reminded him that Shang Youcai remembered that this Qin Muyuan... was the one who killed his twenty-third grandson in Qinghua County!

Although the twenty-third grandson was not good-looking and was not favored by him.

But no matter what, he is still his own grandson. If anyone dares to kill him, they are disrespecting him, the commander!

As the Commandant of the Prefecture, shouldn't it be a matter of course for him to use swift and decisive measures to avenge his grandson?

Qin Muyuan killed his own grandson, so he should obediently accept his death!

As a result, this scoundrel did not surrender and die, but instead came to Hongyan County, intending to kill Shang Youcai.

This is utterly outrageous!

As the Commandant of the Prefecture, Shang Youcai has never suffered such humiliation since taking office!

"When the old master and the Hundred-Refined Army arrive, I will tear you to pieces to avenge the humiliation I have suffered!"

Shang Youcai swore with a sinister expression.

"Master Shang! The old master has arrived! The Hundred-Refined Army has also rushed to the mansion!" At this moment, a servant rushed into the main hall to report to Shang Youcai.

Upon hearing this, Shang Youcai's face lit up with joy, and his previous worries about Qin Muyuan's invasion vanished instantly.

Instead, there was an expectation that Qin Muyuan would be torn to pieces.

"Quickly, invite the old master in! Also, invite Captain Wen of the Hundred-Refined Army in!"

Shang Youcai hurriedly spoke to his servants.

……

Half an incense stick later.

The Jade Water Fairy landed on a magnificent building near the Hongyan County Commandant's Mansion.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze fixed on the nearly three hundred soldiers below, as well as the numerous martial artists from various martial arts schools standing in front of them.

Among them, there was one first-rate martial artist, three second-rate martial artists, and more than a dozen third-rate martial artists.

Such a configuration can be described as a well-organized army, full of experts.

In the mortal world, this is already considered quite remarkable strength.

Their only enemy is Qin Muyuan, a martial artist.

Of course, Qin Muyuan also had a wolf demon by his side.

But in Fairy Yu Shui's mind, the wolf demon wasn't even a third-rate martial artist, and he didn't even catch her eye, so she simply ignored him.

Jade Fairy turned her gaze and looked at the opposite side of the soldiers and martial arts masters, at the blood-stained figure.

When Qin Muyuan realized that so many soldiers and warriors were waiting for him, he was not flustered at all; instead, he showed an excited expression.

This scene caused Jade Water Fairy to frown again:

"He did it on purpose?"

Even if Qin Muyuan had mastered the lightning technique he learned from who-knows-where, he would be powerless against such a massive number of enemies.

Even if he has reached the level of a first-class martial artist, there is also an old man who is a first-class martial artist on the county commandant's side.

Even if he could kill this first-rate martial artist, he would still have to face a number of second-rate and third-rate martial artists, as well as hundreds of soldiers.

Even if they just keep at it, they can exhaust Qin Muyuan's physical strength and energy!

"This boy is far too arrogant. Although he has good talent, his character is really poor."

Jade Water Fairy sighed and shook her head slightly.

It seems best not to have any expectations of such a remote, spiritless place where there is no lineage of immortal cultivators and few people even know of their existence.

Even if there are some talented martial arts practitioners, their narrow vision and mediocre temperament make them not worth investing too much energy in.

"I originally intended to sign a ninth-rank warrior contract with him, but now it seems... given his character, a ninth-rank is still too much of an overestimation."

Jade Water Fairy thought to herself.

If Qin Muyuan could kill that first-rate martial artist and then defeat a few second-rate martial artists, then he could sign a non-ranked warrior contract with him.

If he can't even kill a first-rate martial artist... then he might as well die right in front of the prefectural governor's mansion.

He lacks both strength and self-restraint; taking him in as a strongman would be a waste.

With such a nature, he can't even serve as ordinary cannon fodder.

Even if it's a low-grade warrior contract, it's not worth investing in him.

……

In front of the Prefectural Commandant's Office.

Qin Muyuan looked at the hundred-man fully armored army in front of him, as well as the dozen or so imposing martial artists, and suddenly laughed.

"That's more like it! This is the number of enemies I wanted!"

"Murderer!"

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in elegant clothes, with a goatee and an air of authority, walked out of the prefectural governor's mansion.

It was described as the aura of someone in a superior position, but according to Qin Muyuan, it was really just a so-called "full sense of superiority."

The middle-aged man strode out of the prefectural governor's mansion, and all the martial artists and elite soldiers around him bowed their heads and sang in unison:

"The Commandant of Shangjun!"

Shang Youcai nodded slightly, walked to the front of the army formation, and with an air of absolute confidence, raised his head and looked down at Qin Muyuan:

"You wicked villain! A hundred-strong army and highly skilled martial artists are here today. Do you know your crime?!"
