Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 317 Shuangqing Mansion is a good place
Hundreds of feet in the air, Yang Qian formed seals with his hands, changing them rapidly and continuously, while muttering something.

A moment later, the thunder energy in his body began to surge out, stirring up the essence of thunder in heaven and earth. He threw away all the preliminary preparations and directly brought out the thunder.

And it’s not just one or two thunderbolts that are singled out, but an entire thunderstorm!
This is the last thunder method in the Five Thunder Palace’s “Thunder Method, Part Two”, and its name is: Thunder Rain Falls.

At the expense of the power of a single thunder, the effect of intensive thunderfall can be achieved, like a rainstorm, and large-scale thunder killing can be achieved within a certain range.

Maybe he could withstand one or two thunderbolts, but if they continued, even if he was at the Jindan stage, he would still die if he didn't have one or two good defensive magic weapons. Run? You still want to run when you're stuck between the rain and thunder? Even if you can escape from the ground with the earth escape technique, you won't be able to escape with the weapon control technique.

What happened to ordinary monks? Ordinary thieves and demons?
Even if you hide in a cave, you will be shaken to death by the thunder shock that spreads all over the mountain.

In a word, either you have the ability to withstand the thunder and rain, or you have a powerful defensive weapon to help you escape, otherwise you will die.

Thunder rumbled and crackled, like a waterfall of white light pouring down in the dark night, washing and cracking the main peak of the Ciqiu Mountain and the surrounding area within one to two miles for nearly a cup of tea.

When the thunder stopped and the clouds dispersed, a burning smell even reached the noses of Juan and others who were three miles away.

Barbecue? Or charcoal?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?! They're trying to turn thunder into rain, right?
After witnessing the whole process, I couldn't help but put myself in the situation. If it really happened, what would it be like if I were in that thunderstorm? It was really chilling.

When Yang Qian landed, more than seventy people, including Juan, bowed hurriedly to greet him. For some reason, they didn't dare to look him in the eye, and beads of sweat the size of beans covered everyone's forehead.

"Let's go up the mountain and see if there are any survivors."

If you want to perform a show, you have to do it in a complete way. Not only do you kill all the bandits and evil spirits in the mountain, but the inner guards who are traveling with you also have to watch the scene after the thunder method is performed.

And since it was a temporary camp, would there be some clues left inside? We couldn't just do something and then walk away, right?
As they climbed the mountain, the path was full of debris and charred trees plowed by thunder. Many trees had already caught fire, and the fire spread quickly in the mountain. But it could not stop Yang Qian and his party from moving forward.

Whenever the fire came, it would suddenly go out, a strange wind clearing the way. The high-speed interweaving rotation directly drew away the oxygen that helped the combustion, and then the temperature dropped rapidly due to the cold weather, so that no matter how big the fire was, it could not be ignited.

When they found the so-called camp, there were corpses everywhere. There were corpses of all sizes and shapes, some human, some beast, and some half-human and half-beast.

After searching around, I found no living creatures except corpses. I guess even if there were any survivors, they all ran away after the thunderbolt.

But I found some useful things in the cave.

A map and a letter.

The map was a very simple street product, depicting the topography of Shuangqing Prefecture, the general outline of the territory, as well as the locations of mountains, rivers, and cities. But a red circle was drawn in one corner, indicating the direction from which Yang Qian and his party entered Shuangqing Prefecture, as well as the area they were currently in.

The letter also contains the approximate time, a personal portrait of Yang Qian, the number of cavalrymen, and an estimate of their strength. It can be said to be very detailed. In particular, it even mentions that Yang Qian is good at using swordsmanship against the enemy, as well as the characteristics of his swordsmanship.

Putting these two things together, it is certain that someone is deliberately targeting Yang Qian, and that person knows a lot about Yang Qian.

Is he someone from the government? Possibly.

But what is more suspicious is the noble families far away in the imperial city. After all, Yang Qian has not arrived yet, and even if the Shuangqing government is afraid of Yang Qian, it is unlikely that they will directly kill him. On the contrary, the noble families in the imperial city probably hate Yang Qian to death, and the sooner they act, the fewer variables there will be.

"Did you see anything?" Yang Qian walked around the cave and found nothing except a storage bag.

There was nothing much to use in the storage bag. There were a few pieces of low-grade spirit stones, some unimpressive methods of independent practitioners, and two strange-looking low-grade magical instruments. It was obvious that the original owner of the storage bag probably lived a life similar to that of the independent practitioner Jiang Yun, both of them were extremely poor.

Juan poked the letter paper and envelope in his hand and said, "Sir, the letter paper is of very good quality, and it smells like a faint pulp. It should be the top-grade paper from Jingshuxuan in the imperial city. But the envelope is very rough, made of coarse parchment paper made by the simplest wool-making method."

I think that perhaps this envelope and letter were not written by the same person."

Yang Qian didn't expect Juan to have this skill. He took the envelope and the letter and felt them carefully. He was sure that the paper was very high-end, while the envelope was the most common and roughest kind.

"Tell me, why do you think this is the case?"

"I think that someone who knows the situation wrote the letter and gave it to a certain force in Shuangqing Prefecture, who then passed the letter to the Xingsheng League."

“Why do you want a different envelope?”

"Perhaps it's because there was a signature or some kind of mark on the original envelope that clearly showed the identity?"

Yang Qian nodded, basically agreeing with Juan's guess.

"Let's go. This is the end of the first scene. Let's go down the mountain and see if there are any more scenes on the road ahead."

Yang Qian put away the letter and the map and went down the mountain first.

As for the corpses on the mountain, just leave them there. This will be a good opportunity for the bandits and evil spirits that may continue to gather here to have a look. It can also be regarded as Yang Qian's first greeting to all parties here when he first arrived.

On the way down the mountain, Yang Qian glanced at his experience panel, and the densely packed kill prompts on it had finally stopped.

[Kill the Fushi Mountain Demon*871] -——[Gain experience 19162]

[Kill 42 demon cultivators from Fushi Mountain] -——[Gain 12600 experience]

[Kill 577 bandits from Mafeng Village] -——[Gain experience 11540]

[Kill 29 monks from Mafeng Village] -——[Gain experience 7250]

[Kill the leader of the Mafeng Village*1]-——[Gain experience 2800]

Yang Qian's mouth was cracked with laughter. He had originally intended to come to a chaotic place like Shuangqing Prefecture to gain some experience. But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered Shuangqing Prefecture, a lot of experience would hit him directly.

This was just the result of a positive thunder spell. If it were in Jizhou Prefecture, it would be impossible to find such an experience pool.

Wow, Shuangqing Prefecture is a great place!

As he was going down the mountain, Yang Qian was thinking whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to go around Shuangqing Prefecture first. After all, everyone here wouldn't know he was here, right? Should he take advantage of the situation and cut down a few of them first?
