Experience: 2,299.9 million points.
After Lu Ning glanced at the flashing catalog, he finally looked at the experience and couldn't help but smile.
A total of more than 500 million experience points were gained from killing the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, which was far less than the experience of the Huanyue Sect, but Lu Ning was satisfied.
After walking out of the miasma valley, he landed on the black horse in a flash, looked at Lin Jian and the others and said, "Let's go."
Everyone took a deep breath, looked at Lu Ning respectfully, and then rode away.
One person can destroy a sect in just a cup of tea. It's really scary.
Leave the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.
Lu Ning and others passed through Yongzhou and headed towards Langcheng.
Langcheng is a pass leading to Sangzhou. Previously, Pei Tianbei was the first to push for Langcheng from Langdang Mountain in Sangzhou.
When hundreds of people rushed to Langcheng, it was already dark.
The general who defended the city was named Chen Yi. When he heard that the Lord of Demon Suppression was coming, and that the brave Marquis Pei Tianbei was also with him, he was frightened and hurried out of the city to greet him.
"Final general Chen Yi, please see Mr. Lu and Marquis Shenyong!" Chen Yi led his men and bowed in salute.
Lu Ning nodded and rode into the city.
Chen Yi and his people followed closely to arrange the best accommodation for Lu Ning and others.
"No need to make arrangements! We'll leave after dinner." Lu Ning glanced at Chen Yi and said.
"It's my lord, I will make arrangements right now." Chen Yi nodded and immediately asked someone to arrange the best dinner.
Before night falls.
Lu Ning and others left Langcheng and rode towards Sangzhou. This time they did not run wildly, but walked leisurely.
After all, people are not tired, and horses are also tired, so they walk slowly.
When we arrived in Sangzhou, it was already August 9th.
Experience: 2,318.9 million points
We didn't rest all night. When we arrived at Sangzhou City, it was just noon and the sun was scorching.
Outside Sangzhou City, only the prefect Yang Qiwei and several officials came to greet Lu Ning's hundred people.
Lu Ning frowned slightly. Sangzhou's territory is not small. Although it occupies a lot of mountains, it also has a large population. Compared with other states, there are even more officials.
However, at this moment, only four people came with the prefect Yang Qiwei, and no one else came.
Lu Ning took one look without saying anything, got off his horse, and walked into Sangzhou City with Yang Qiwei.
Compared with the first time when I came to Sangzhou City for the second time, the city defense was much laxer, but the life in the city was still colorful.
The red-sleeved move was split by Lu Ning's sword. Not only did it not affect the business, but it became even more famous because of the demon-suppressing master's sword splitting the red building.
It's booming now.
I heard that the Lord of Demon Suppression came to Sangzhou City and passed by Hong Xiuzhao.
The Madam with Red Sleeves immediately called all the girls in the Red Mansion to come out and welcome them.
Lin Jian, Pei Tianbei, Gu Wushuang, Sheng Xuan and others were immediately speechless.
It was Wei Feng who slashed the red building with his sword in the first place, and Wei Feng also looked embarrassed.
Lu Ning, who was walking at the front, curled his lips and said, "Let them all disperse."
Yang Qiwei raised his hand and told the madam to call all the warblers away.
Entering the Sangzhou Prefecture Office.
After Lu Ning took a sip of tea, he looked at Yang Qiwei who was sitting next to him with a polite smile on his face.
"What's going on in Sangzhou?" Lu Ning put down his teacup and asked.
Hearing this, Yang Qiwei smiled bitterly and said, "Master Lu, to be honest, Sangzhou is really difficult to manage!"
Lu Ning chuckled: "Tell me about it."
Yang Qiwei took a deep breath and said: "Sangzhou, in one word, is chaotic. Many officials do not receive salary from the court and rely entirely on local businessmen from aristocratic families to support them. Therefore, they do not give lower officials face at all."
"The lower officials have no choice but to use the imperial court to suppress them, but they threaten to have someone behind them, so let's try to touch them."
"Master Lu, you also know that there are four forces in Sangzhou: the Taichu Sword Sect, the leader of the five immortal sects, the Xuanyin Sect, the Eighteen Demons from Beyond the Heavens, and the Golden Scale Master. I don't dare to do anything to them. "
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive now, and I wouldn't be able to wait for you to come, sir!"
Lu Ning nodded secretly and said, "These officials and aristocratic families have leaders, and they are deliberately going against you, right?"
Yang Qiwei nodded and said: "Yes, sir."
Lu Ning said: "List all the names of the officials and the aristocratic families. In the afternoon, I will start cleaning up one by one with my official."
When Yang Qiwei heard this, although there was joy on his face, his eyes were more worried.
He knew that Lu Ning was powerful, but the Taichu Sword Sect was also powerful. The Xuanyin Sect had many followers and eighteen demons outside the world, but now there were only sixteen demons, all of whom were very strong, with the lowest being at the third level.
As for Young Master Jin Lin, he was a man of extremely mysterious origins, and he was accompanied by two masters, both of whom were second-grade experts.
Before Yang Qiwei came to Sangzhou City, the previous governor was loyal to Mr. Jinlin. Although he was executed, other local officials in Sangzhou were still fearless.
"Master Lu, do you want to inform the Sangzhou Command Battalion?" Yang Qi thought for a while and said.
Lu Ning said: "Let Tongshan be guarded with five thousand gold swords and obey orders at any time."
Yang Qiwei nodded and said: "My lord, I have already made a list of officials and aristocratic families. I will ask someone to inform General Tongshan and ask your Excellency to sit down for a moment."
After noon.
Tongshan appeared outside Sangzhou City with five thousand gold sword guards, and then he took two lieutenants to meet Lu Ning in person.
Lu Ning had had lunch and was looking at the list of officials and aristocratic families listed by Yang Qiwei, which were mainly located in the south, west and northwest of Sangzhou.
As for some officials and wealthy families in the east and north of Sangzhou, they were willing to obey Yang Qiwei's orders and stand with the court.
Lu Ning simply stopped asking about this, mainly focusing on the large areas in the south, southwest, west, and northwest.
Judging from the map, it occupies more than half of Sangzhou and has a population of more than 500 million.
The common people certainly did not dare to go against the imperial court, but they were even more afraid of the local officials, aristocratic families, and merchants, because these forces could directly determine their life or death, so they could only swallow their anger and accept the situation.
Lu Ning went to the south first. He had to go in order, from the south to the northwest, to the Xuanlong Mountains, then to Beimang, to Yanzhou, and finally to Youzhou and back to Jingzhou.
The officials, aristocratic families, and merchants in the south rely on Taichu Jianmen, the first of the five great immortal sects.
After seeing Tongshan, Lu Ning took the prefect Yang Qiwei, Lin Jian and a hundred others and went straight to the largest county in the south of Sangzhou, called Taixuan City.
Just from the name, you can tell that it has a great relationship with Taichu Jianmen.
Lu Ning arrived with everyone. The gate of Taixuan City was open, and those who came in and out were full of surprise at their arrival.
In front of the city gate, Taixuan City's county guard didn't even greet him.
County Sheriff's Office.
The county guard, Li Yeming, had just taken a lunch break. He was sitting under the grape trellis in confusion, drinking honey tea, while two young and beautiful maids were squeezing his shoulders.
At this moment, someone hurriedly ran to the grape trellis and said, "Sir, it's not good, the Lord of Demon Suppression is here."
Hearing this, there was no trace of panic on Li Yeming's face, "I'm here right now, why are you panicking? Not to mention the Lord of Demon Suppression, even if the empress comes in person, she should understand where this place is, it's Taixuan City .”
Taixuan City is a city attached to Taichu Jianmen. Although it is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has not been controlled by the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time.
Because they do not receive royal salary.
Of course, the imperial court paid official salaries on time every month, including officials of all sizes in Taixuan City, but they looked down upon them.
Taixuan City has been separated from the imperial court for a long time.
In fact, this matter began during the period of Emperor Xingwu.
During the reign of Emperor Mingwu, the control over Taixuan City was relatively loose, mainly because of the consideration of the Taichu Sword Sect. After all, a large Immortal Sect also needed huge resources to support the operation of the Immortal Sect.
So Emperor Mingwu turned a blind eye.
Now Taixuan City has directly separated from the Great Zhou Dynasty, claiming that it is attached to Taichu Jianmen and does not belong to the territory of the dynasty. Come and hit me. I have Taichu Jianmen behind me. Do you dare to hit me?
Li Yeming sneered and didn't take Lu Ning's arrival seriously at all. He said to the man: "Go and ask the Sun family master to come over."
The Sun family is the largest family in Taixuan City, and many young people in the family are disciples of the inner sect of the Taichu Sword Sect.
About a cup of tea time.
Lu Ning and others arrived outside the county governor's office, but the guard at the door blocked him from entering.
Lu Ning just smiled. In the next moment, the eight guard guards who blocked him were thrown aside by Lin Jian and others as they blocked their meridians.
In the government office, as soon as Lin Jian and others were seen taking action, a commander immediately rushed out with his people, "Who are you, dare to break into the Taixuan City government office in broad daylight?"
Lin Jian flashed, appeared in front of the commander, and slapped him.
Snapped!
The speaking commander was directly slapped away, and blood mixed with broken teeth spurted out of his mouth.
As for the guards behind the commander, they were punched away by Pei Tianbei who rushed over. Three of them were killed on the spot, and they turned into a rain of blood and shattered into pieces.
Hundreds of people flew upside down and fell into the courtyard of the government office, wailing incessantly.
"Made, I want to see who dares to cause trouble in the Taixuan City government office. Come here, come here..." Li Yeming stood up from under the grape trellis angrily, pointed at Lu Ning and others and shouted, but no one came. People jumped out.
Pei Tianbei clapped his hands and said, "Scream, you can scream whatever you want. If it doesn't work, how about I, Pei Tianbei, call someone for you?"
"Pei Tianbei? Are you the brave prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Li Yeming pointed at Pei Tianbei and said angrily.
"Yes, it's me."
Pei Tianbei held his head high and looked at Li Yeming: "You are a piece of shit. Even if I give you a hundred courages, you wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Taixuan City. You are just a puppet official. Call out the forces behind you." Make gestures with Ben Qianhu.”
"Who are you calling a piece of shit?"
Li Yeming was furious. Although there were not many people around him at the moment, his arrogance did not diminish at all, "Little beast, if you dare to insult me, you are dead. You will wait for me..."
Snapped!
Pei Tianbei flashed in front of Li Yeming, grabbed Li Yeming's collar, lifted him up, and slapped him down.
Li Yeming screamed like a slaughtering pig, his upper and lower teeth were all broken, and it spurted out from his mouth.
"Wow... wow, my teeth..."
Li Yeming smacked his mouth up and down, and the feeling of being toothless made him collapse a little.
"Try being arrogant again."
Pei Tianbei carried Li Yeming, who was screaming in agony. At this moment, Li Yeming was also frightened and trembling all over.
"stop!"
At this moment, a deep shout came from behind everyone.
Li Yeming, who was originally full of fear, suddenly grabbed Pei Tianbei's wrist and became arrogant again: "Mader, why don't you let go?"
"I told you to let go!"
Even though Li Yeming had no teeth, at this moment he grabbed Pei Tianbei's wrist and shouted angrily, and the blood in his mouth spurted onto Pei Tianbei's face.
Not only did Pei Tianbei not let go, he looked back with Li Yeming in hand.
Lu Ning and others also turned around and saw that the leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a majestic face and two jade walnuts in his hands.
Behind this man were hundreds of people, some old and some young.
Among them, there are eight people with third-grade cultivation, one person with second-grade cultivation, and the rest are all with fourth-grade and fifth-grade cultivation.
Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly. This middle-aged man could do it. As the head of the Demon Suppressing Division, he only brought Lin Jian, a second-grade sword cultivator. The remaining three, Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, and Wang Ding, were third-grade cultivators. Sheng Xuan, Wei Feng, Sui Yun, Wu Kuishan and others are still at the fourth level of perfection, and the rest are also at the fourth and fifth levels.
The people brought here are enough to compete with him.
No wonder Li Yeming is so arrogant, it turns out that the strength behind him is pretty good.
"If you don't let go, you're dead!" Li Yeming pointed at Pei Tianbei's nose and shouted.
Pei Tianbei looked back at Li Yeming and said, "Scream again and I'll slap you to death!"
When Li Yeming heard this, he was angry and funny: "Slap me to death, why the hell are you here to try?"
Pei Tianbei's eyes flashed coldly.
Li Yeming continued to shout arrogantly: "Ma De, don't ask me, what is the relationship between the Taixuan City Government Office and the Sun family? I'll lend you ten courages, you pat me..."
Boom!
Pei Tianbei opened his eyes in anger, and slapped Li Yeming's head to pieces, causing blood to spurt out instantly.
The head of the Sun family, who was walking from a distance, also had an angry look on his face when he saw this scene.
Pei Tianbei threw Li Yeming's body in front of the Sun family head expressionlessly: "The dog you raised?"
The head of the Sun family stared at Pei Tianbei coldly: "Do you know who you killed?"
"Hahaha……"
There was blood on Pei Tianbei's face and on his hands. Hearing the words of Patriarch Sun, he raised his head and laughed: "You should ask me who I am?"
The head of the Sun family took a deep breath, and his cold eyes swept over Lu Ning and everyone else, and finally fell on Pei Tianbei: "No matter who you are today, if you dare to kill the grandson of the Taichu Jianmen elder, you will die. deal!"
Pei Tianbei was stunned and stared at Li Yeming's body: "Hey, the grandson of the great elder of Taichu Jianmen? It really scared me to death. I thought he was the grandson of Feng Chuyi."
As soon as the voice fell, Pei Tianbei strode forward, stepped on Li Yeming's corpse in front of the head of the Sun family, and the blood, flesh and blood splashed out with a bang.
It fell on Master Sun's face, on the people behind him, and on their trouser legs.
"you!"
The name of the head of the Sun family is Sun Congxian, and he is also the grandson of the second elder of Taichu Jianmen.
In addition, the Sun family was originally a wealthy family in Taixuan City. It had been inherited for thousands of years and had a rich family background. With Taichu Sword Sect as its backing, it had long been the leader of Taixuan City.
After the death of the previous county governor of Taixuan City, he appointed the earthly grandson of Taichu Jianmen's great elder as the county governor, and he and his Sun family also helped each other.
Now that Li Yeming was killed, Sun Congxian was also responsible and immediately whispered to the person behind him.
The man turned around and left, but before even walking out of the government office's courtyard, the man fell in a pool of blood.
"Who killed him?"
Sun Congxian was shocked because he had not seen how his subordinate died.
Lu Ning smiled calmly and said, "I killed him. Is there a problem, Master Sun?"
Sun Congxian then looked at Lu Ning: "Are you the leader of the Great Zhou Demon Division?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Aren't you from the Zhou Dynasty?"
Sun Congxian said coldly: "I'm not..."
Poof!
A human head flew up instantly, and then blood spurted out of Lao Gao like a fountain.
"Master Sun!"
"father!"
"grandfather!"
In an instant, everyone who came with Sun Congxian was stunned. Even the second-level strongman did not react. Sun Congxian was killed, and his head rolled to the side with eyes staring in disbelief.
"Who else is not from the Zhou Dynasty?"
Lu Ning's eyes swept across everyone, and he didn't care at all about the glare of the second-grade strong man.
"That's all you have the courage to do?"
Lu Ning looked at everyone with a sneer: "Are you here in a hurry just to die? You are not even afraid of death, but you don't dare to answer my words? It's really funny!"
At this time, the second-grade Sun family expert finally stood up. He pointed at Lu Ning and said angrily: "Lu, Taixuan City has long been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. How dare you bring people from the Demon Suppressing Division to Taixuan City?" There is trouble in Xuancheng and you kill the governor of Taixuan City and the head of the Sun family. Do you want to start a war with Taichu Jianmen?"
"Who are you?"
Lu Ning looked at the second-grade expert with a smile.
The second-grade strong man is a man in his forties, with a sinister look in his eyes: "My guest from the Sun family, Liu Renfeng."
"Have not heard."
Lu Ning shook his head. There were only sixty or seventy second-grade experts in the world. Excluding those who were hidden and dead, there were only twenty people left at most.
He had indeed never heard of Liu Renfeng, but it did not affect his question: "Are you from the Zhou Dynasty?"
"I'm not……"
Poof!
Another head flew up and blood spurted out.
Liu Renfeng, a second-level expert, never expected that Lu Ning would strike so swiftly and without giving him a chance to speak.
Can’t you just let me finish what I’m saying?
Seeing that Liu Renfeng was also killed, everyone in the audience was stunned.
Even Sun Congxian's son, Sun Wei, who was full of anger, was so frightened by Lu Ning's tyranny that he dared not say a word.
The eight third-grade experts were even covered in cold sweat.
"I will ask you one last time, are you from the Zhou Dynasty?" Lu Ning looked at Sun Wei and others with a smile.
For a moment, Sun Wei and others broke out in cold sweat. They wanted to answer no, but they ended up like Sun Congxian and Liu Renfeng, dead!
"I, I am...!" Sun Wei changed his words with a trembling voice.
Then everyone in the Sun family turned pale and nodded: "We are."
The eight third-level cultivation masters also gritted their teeth and said, "So are we."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, "Very good. Since you are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should know that the Demon Suppression Department handles cases and everyone must cooperate. No shouting, obstruction, insults, or lack of cooperation are allowed."
"Anyone who resists will be killed."
Hearing this, Sun Wei and others were instantly stunned!
It's all death anyway! ?
A gust of wind blew up, and the faces of Sun Wei and others changed wildly. Although they didn't see anyone, someone slapped them, and the meridians and qi sea dantian in their bodies were sealed in an instant.
Lu Ning was still standing there. He smiled at Sun Wei and said, "Now take two people and call all the officials and merchants from Taixuan City. If you don't reach the government office before dark, tell them whether they can see you or not." To tomorrow’s sun.”
"Also, tell the First Elder and Second Elder of Taichu Jianmen that if you are cultivating immortality in the Immortal Sect, you should practice it well. If you don't want to practice, I will bury them alive."
Hearing this, Sun Wei's eyelids suddenly twitched, but there was a cold flash in his eyes. He nodded casually and took the two Sun family members quickly out of the government office yard.
Seeing the three people leaving, Lu Ning waved his hand to Lin Jian and others and said, "Go ahead and clean up the corpses."
"It's my lord!"
Lin Jian nodded, turned around and told Gu Wushuang, Wang Ding and others to do it.
The prefect Yang Qiwei also ordered people to come forward to help.
It was really satisfying today, but Yang Qiwei was still a little worried.
After all, the Taichu Sword Sect is the first of the five Immortal Sects, and the Sword Immortal among the Immortal Sect is a super-first-class existence in the world.
The imperial court wanted to give Taichu Jianmen some respect, but today the demon-suppressing master acted vigorously and killed Li Yeming and Sun Congxian. This was a provocation to Taichu Jianmen.
Lu Ning turned around and came to the grape trellis where Li Yeming was sitting before. He looked at the reddish grapes, picked one and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and then asked Pei Tianbei to pick and eat it too.
"Brother Lu... Sir, if the First Elder and Second Elder of Taichu Jianmen come, can you stop them?" Pei Tianbei asked while eating grapes.
Lu Ning asked: "What are the strengths of the First Elder and Second Elder of Taichu Jianmen?"
Pei Tianbei said: "One is at the second level of perfection, and the other is at the late stage of the second level. Of course, those were all many years ago. I might have broken through to the first level now, I don't know."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Pei Tianbei and said, "Idiot... Tianbei, I want to ask you, are there any strange phenomena in the world after breaking through to the first level of cultivation?"
Pei Tianbei frowned slightly and said, "Not necessarily. A practicing genius who breaks through to the first level may experience strange phenomena in the world, but a person with average talent who relies on years of accumulation to break through to the first level will not experience any strange phenomena in the world."
Lu Ning nodded secretly. If you say this, it's really hard to say.
When breaking the gun gate before, Jin Gulu also said that there are at least five people or creatures in the world who can kill him.
These five are definitely above the first level, not counting Feng Chuyi.
Lu Ning didn't know if there was an old monk Wukong from the Great Buddha Temple.
In short, there are still many strong people with hidden sex in this world.
Therefore, there are definitely more first-level experts than the ten people Gu Fengtang mentioned before.
Lu Ning didn't care. With his current physique and the initial level of first-level sky-piercing cultivation, including the super-level first-level breakthrough, he was absolutely invincible.
Even Feng Chuyi, who is above the first level, is capable of fighting now.
Therefore, he is not afraid of any first-grade strong person.
However, Lu Ning felt that he had to be careful about Feng Chuyi. After all, Jin Hulu said that Feng Chuyi couldn't kill him, but it was still easy to hurt him.
Sitting under the grape trellis, I rested comfortably for half an hour.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew violently over Taixuan City.
Then three figures came from the sky at extremely fast speeds, reaching the sky above the government office in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying aura instantly overwhelmed Gu Wushuang and the others who were standing in the government office. They couldn't bear it anymore and vomited blood from their mouths.
Lin Jian and Pei Tianbei were also holding on, but Lu Ning was the only one who was fine.
He looked up and saw three people in the void, two old men and a middle-aged man with a broken arm, none other than Ji Fengyang.
Among the two old men, the first was a white-haired old man wearing a spacious off-white robe. His face was full of anger, and his aura had reached the early stage of the first level. He could use the power of space and the coercion of his aura to make everyone vomit blood in an instant.
This old man is Li Yeming's grandfather, Li Yuangang.
The great elder of Taichu Jianmen, a first-grade Daoyuan, a strong swordsman.
Another old man, wearing a dark blue sword robe, also with white hair and white beard, is Sun Tong, the ancestor of the Sun family, the second elder of the Taichu Sword Sect, and a second-grade perfectionist.
"The Demon Suppressing Division of Dazhou is so majestic!"
Li Yuangang put his hands behind his back and stared coldly at Lu Ning who was sitting leisurely with his white eyebrows.
