This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest, and the news spread quickly. Javert, the lord of Yuan City, learned of the situation immediately. Someone was causing trouble in Nancheng District and killed three soldiers.
The Anchor Guards patrolled the market in a group of three. The leader must be a warrior who stood out at the trial site of the Divine Weapon Hall. He became the true form of a divine weapon and was comparable to ordinary demon slaves. The burly man who died was Huan Mengshan of the 13th phase of the Huangting Mountain of Shenbingtang. He was the real body of the Four-Yuan Demon-Bearing Man, and he was dressed in steel and iron bones. He could be regarded as the leader among the 13th phase. According to reports from his scouts, Huan Mengshan was beaten to death by a goat-headed ghost soldier with a pair of fists. His spirit was destroyed, his body turned into mud, and he was unable to fight back.
How dare a mere ghostly soldier show off his power in Yuan City? Javert was angry in his heart. He summoned his favorite general Sha Jiuyuan and ordered him to go to the south of the city to capture the murderer who did not know his own interests. He broke his limbs and took him to the city lord's palace for questioning. Sha Jiuyuan was also a master who was afraid of chaos in the world. Hearing that there was a fight, he immediately became excited. He agreed, called his close friends, and rushed out of the city lord's mansion happily. A gust of wind rushed to the south of the city.
Half an hour later, the same scout from before came to report, with a somewhat dull look on his face, saying that General Sha and other tough soldiers had been beaten to death, and no one was spared. There are two murderers, one is a ghost soldier with a goat head, and the other is an ugly man with a bald head. They are both powerful men who take orders from others and regard themselves as slaves. What was even more arrogant was that they did not leave after committing the crime. Instead, they went to a nearby food shop and waited for the guards of the city lord's palace to come and arrest them. They were confident.
Javert's heart sank, and he pretended to be calm. He asked about the owners of the ghost soldiers and the ugly men. The scout admitted that he didn't notice them at first, but he didn't notice their presence until the end. From a distance, he saw a tall man with an ordinary face. He is neither a wise man, nor a jade tree standing in the wind, so he cannot tell the truth. He asked a familiar shop and found out that these three people had just entered Yuan City early in the morning and had never seen them before.
When did Yuancheng provoke these murderers? Was he passing by by chance, or did he come deliberately to cause trouble? Javert started to murmur in his heart, feeling vaguely that he had done something wrong. He was restless and ordered his scouts to inquire about the news again. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and went to the West Garden to ask the old man Sha Tonghai for advice.
Sha Tonghai was a confidant of Heqiu City Lord Sha Kuang. He was ordered to support Javert in taking charge of the market. After his success, he retired and lived in the city lord's mansion. After so many years, he has grown old. His face is wrinkled, his back is stooped, and his steps are sloppy. He relies on the support of a demon servant beside him to wander among the flowers and trees, relax his muscles and bones, and bask in the sun. Javert held the gift of his son-nephew and met Mr. Sha, and explained his purpose in a concise and concise manner. Although Mr. Shatonghai was old, his brain was not broken. He pondered for a moment, and his cloudy eyes flashed with sparkle. He said in a deep voice: "The city lord must not scare the snake. Send people to Shouwu Mountain quickly and ask Hu Shuai and City Lord Wen to come and take charge of the overall situation."
Javert was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Alarming Hu Shuai, is the situation really so difficult?"
Sha Tonghai gasped slightly. He knew Sha Kuang's thoughts very well. Sooner or later, the city lord would clear out all the opposition forces and hand Heqiu City into the hands of Javert, even if there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing, he would not hesitate. Wenxuan, Zhihe, Shafengxuan, Tangluo, and Jiao Baichuan were all killed from the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses, but Javert was different. He was born in sorrow and died in happiness. The wealthy families of Heqiu City looked at the face of the city lord. He was treated with great courtesy, but it was not easy to take over Heqiu City from Sha Kuang. Sha Tonghai saw through this, so he advised the city lord and entrusted Javert to Wei Shiqi to have a good life. From Huangbei City to Surabaya City, he has been on his own in these years. He has grown up rapidly. He has relaxed and relaxed without making any mistakes. He has gradually established his own prestige. The more he does this, the more careful he has to be. A small mistake will be a big mistake. Resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.
"Has the city lord ever heard that a powerful enemy came from the sea and wiped out a hundred thousand ghost soldiers? Kang Long'er suffered a big loss. Even though Master Mei personally took action, he failed to keep the enemy behind?"
Javert suddenly came to his senses and blurted out: "Could it be that the devil——"
Xie Ziju suffered a tragic accident, Yu Wenbi escaped from his spiritual thoughts, and the Taoist sect kept the news secret. Very few people knew about it, and none of the demon slaves noticed it. They only learned from the sea monster that there seemed to be a demon in Da Yingzhou. After disappearing for many years, he has resurfaced, and Daomen is investigating the matter. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers in the Sky Bat Sea were wiped out. The movement was so huge that it could not be concealed in any case. Even Hu Shuai and Hu Bugui, who lived in seclusion in Shouwu Mountain, were alarmed and went to Huangting Mountain in person. At the Sanxing Cave in the setting moon, visit Master Lan. Zhou Ji's identity was too sensitive and would shock the world when he told it. Master Lan was vague, saying only that powerful enemies came from the sea and had been driven away by Master Mei. Hu Bugui knew that there must be a hidden agenda, but Master Lan was very tight-lipped, and with a great god like Master Mei sitting in the Taoist sect, it was inconvenient for him to press hard, so he had no choice but to give up.
When Hu Bugui left Huangting Mountain, he always felt frightened. The more he thought about it, the more strange it became. He personally rushed to the Sky Bat Sea to investigate, not letting go of any clues, and pieced together the pieces, and finally discovered the hidden truth of the Taoist Sect. . The demon came from overseas and had great supernatural powers. He was first driven back to the Yuanhai by Master Lan, and then came back again. As a result, he alarmed Master Mei. After a great battle in the Tianbat Sea, he escaped from the hands of the real immortal and disappeared. The clues were interrupted and there was no trace to be found. Hu Bugui returned to Shouwu Mountain, thought about it again and again, and ordered Wen Xuan to inform all the city lords of the inside story of the demon's ability to rival the true immortal. If they encounter him in the future, they should stay away and not fight head-on.
Javert was in Yuancheng and was qualified to hear about this matter. He did not take it seriously. Sha Tonghai was attentive and remembered this old news from many years ago. He said decisively: "It is not appropriate for the city lord to show up at this moment. When I go and take a look, what kind of person is that devil?"
Javert saw that his hair was gray and his life was running out, like a candle in the wind, and he couldn't bear it. But now that the matter had come to this, he could not trust the eyesight of others except this loyal old man. He sighed, regretful in his heart, and immediately stepped forward to support Sha Tonghai, patted the back of his bony hand gently, and said: "The situation is unclear, and things have to be done according to the authority. I am tired, Sha Lao, it is true in my heart." I can’t bear it, there’s nothing I can do!”
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, I'd like to share the worries of the city lord." Sha Tonghai sighed in his heart, the young master can say these words sincerely, he has finally grown up, he paused, and couldn't help but remind him again, " The city lord is sending people to Shouwu Mountain as soon as possible, the matter is serious and cannot be delayed!"
Javert said: "Mr. Sha, just rest assured and prioritize. Sha knows what's going on."
Sha Tonghai took a deep look at him, apologized, and ordered the demon servant to support him, and walked out tremblingly. Javert watched him disappear among the flowers and trees, his expression solemn and covered with a layer of gloom. Although he did not want to admit it, he still had some unclear ideas and could not do without Sha Tonghai's pointers. Once he passed away, who would be there? Fill his void?
