Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

Lu Qiuhan gazed at the bottomless street corner and calmly said:

"Just wait by the old locust tree north of the magistrate's office."

"We have solid intelligence that the magistrate will definitely escape from that direction."

"I'm going to take the lead in this operation."

Whether you can take down the county magistrate depends on you.

After saying that, Lu Qiuhan slowly walked into the silent night.

Li Chuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt that the wind blowing by had a fishy and sweet smell.

Tonight, much blood is destined to be shed.

……

Anning County, outer city gate.

A group of police officers, dressed in raincoats, carried ever-burning torches that were impervious to the rain.

The lead black-clad constable strode quickly to the guards at the city gate, his tone slightly anxious:

"Something's happened in the inner city! The three major families are plotting a rebellion! Magistrate Wei has sent us to Huangshi County to request reinforcements. Open the city gates immediately!"

Several normally leisurely and lazy guards immediately perked up upon hearing that the city gates were to be opened, and said nervously:

"My lord... do you have a warrant from the county magistrate?"

Although they were colleagues, they still maintained a basic level of caution.

If they recklessly open the city gates at night and invite great disaster, none of them will escape!

The black-clad police officer said coldly:

"It certainly exists."

"This is a matter of life and death; if you dare to delay, you will bear the consequences!"

The black-clad policeman pulled a warrant from his pocket and shoved it into the guard's hand.

Such a meticulous plan would naturally not have the flaw of lacking a warrant.

The guard apologized, took the item, and examined it carefully.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

The black-clad police officer roared in anger:

"Why have you been observing for so long? How could the magistrate's warrant be fake?"

The guard glanced at it a few more times before nodding.

"Guards, open the city gates immediately!"

A hint of triumphant satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the black-clad police officer.

According to the plan, as long as these guards open the city gates...

The Rebirth Cult, which has been lying in ambush outside, will immediately enter and turn the city upside down!

"grown ups."

"Is there anything else?" The black-clad policeman's thoughts immediately returned to reality, but he felt a strange tension in his heart.

He suddenly felt that something bad was about to happen.

The guard scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Sir, have you forgotten that the warrant is still with me?"

The black-clad police officer breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing a hint of urgency, and extended his hand, saying:

"This is a very serious matter, and I've lost my composure."

"It's alright..." Just as the guard was about to return the token to the policeman, his wrist suddenly twitched.

With a clang, the token slammed to the ground.

The guard apologized:

"I'm sorry, I panicked too much..."

The black-clad police officer glared at him:

"What a flustered and disorderly manner!"

The moment he bent down to pick it up.

"Pfft!"

A sharp dagger suddenly pierced his ear.

Blood spurted from the black-clad police officer's mouth and nose, and his consciousness instantly blurred.

He mustered all his strength to look up.

The normally cautious guard now wore an indifferent expression: "Close the net!"

A whistling arrow suddenly streaked across the night sky, emitting a sharp and loud whistle that could be heard for miles!

The black-clad police officer's body slowly collapsed to the ground, relentlessly battered by the heavy rain.

Before he died, one thought flashed through his mind.

exposed!

"Splash!"

Dozens of figures suddenly rushed out from the previously peaceful shops, street corners, and alleyways, surrounding the group of police officers.

Meanwhile, outside the city.

The leader of the Rebirth Sect, who was lying in ambush, watched as time ticked by, but the city gates showed no sign of opening.

Suddenly, the sound of whistling arrows came from the sky again.

Completely different from the plan!

A bad premonition immediately arose in his heart, and he said quickly:

"withdraw!"

"Is it possible to evacuate?"

In the rainy night, a figure in white robes emerged, followed by a large group of strong and capable men.

They were all dressed in armor and equipped with excellent weapons.

Liu Peiran's eyes were indifferent as he abruptly waved his hand:

"Don't let a single one escape!"

……

County Magistrate's Office.

The dim light illuminated four figures.

The magistrate was pointing at the map, speaking with great confidence and authority:

"Judging by the time, the Rebirth Sect should have already stormed in. At that time, Qianyun and Tianyi Martial Arts School will provide support and clear out the outer city first."

"Next..." the magistrate turned to Tang Xiang, "you will have your family's hidden forces work together from within the inner city to weave a tight spiderweb for the three major families!"

Tang Xiang's face was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Entangle them all and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Wang Wenzhi coldly observed his excited expression and sneered:

"Among these people are your master and fellow disciples. How could you be so heartless as to betray them?"

How can I trust that you won't betray us?

Tang Xiang pounded his chest, pointed three fingers to the sky, and swore:

"My loyalty to the magistrate is as clear as day; if I have shown even the slightest disloyalty, may my parents die a horrible death!"

Outside, a sudden burst of rapid, noisy footsteps could be heard.

Extremely close!

Wang Wenzhi exclaimed in shock and anger:

"What's going on? What are those dozen or so sentries doing outside? They only noticed us when we were right in front of them!"

The magistrate sighed:

"The plan has been leaked; there's a mole inside."

Wang Wenzhi suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Tang Xiang:

"Wait, weren't your parents dead a long time ago?"

Tang Xiang mocked:

"Otherwise, how could I dare to swear?"

After saying that, he slipped away and dashed out of the secret room.

Wang Wenzhi's anger flared instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"That traitor, that traitor!"

"I want to kill him with my own hands!"

The magistrate took a deep breath:

"There must be a large force lying in ambush outside. Going out will only lead you into a trap."

"We haven't lost yet. Don't forget, there's still a secret passage that leads to the outside world."

"As long as you don't die, you'll eventually come back!"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, the magistrate roared:

"I'll go into the secret room first, then I'll meet you when I get down!"

The atmosphere in the entire sealed room instantly froze.

In such a crisis, whoever leaves first has a greater chance of survival.

Wang Wenzhi turned his head stiffly to look at the county magistrate, his expression sorrowful.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

The magistrate softened his tone:

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

"Do you think I'm a stupid pig who would believe you?" Wang Wenzhi suddenly threw seven poisoned needles at the magistrate.

At the same time, he activated his internal energy and shot towards the secret passage like an arrow.

Before entering the secret passage, Wang Wenzhi laughed heartily:

"Old man, I never thought you'd be outsmarted by me one day!"

After entering the secret passage, he instantly cracked the supporting stone wall above.

Rumble!

Large chunks of gravel fell, stirring up clouds of dust.

In just a breath or two, the cave entrance was sealed off!

The constable with hidden strength standing beside the magistrate, hearing the shouts of battle approaching his ears, exclaimed in terror:

"Magistrate of Wei County... what should we do?"

Magistrate Wei looked in the direction Wang Wenzhi had left and calmly said:

"What an idiot! The whole plan has been leaked, and he still thinks that secret passage is safe?"

"There must be experts at the Transformation Realm guarding the outside; going out means certain death."

"If you're wary of me, how can I not be wary of you?"

Then, he slammed his hand on a protruding brick on the wall three times.

Soon, a brand new secret passage appeared before them.

The magistrate laughed loudly, "Shunzi, let's go!"

Almost the instant they entered, Lu Qiuhan led his men and rushed in!
