Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 322: General Situation
"Master Yang, our Baihualou is not weak either."

Pfft!

With a flick of the finger, a blade of sword intent the size of a fingernail flashed past rapidly. The speed that was already as fast as lightning was accelerated three times faster in the current formation.

Hua Xiaorou only felt a sharp edge passing by her ear, causing her skin to feel a tearing pain.

At the same time, a terrifying sound like a watermelon being crushed was heard behind him.

Turning her head, Hua Xiaorou's eyes instantly turned blood red. A companion behind her on the left had a thin "red line" half an inch long on his forehead, and a hole bigger than a fist exploded in the back of his head. Not to mention the brain matter, the whole brain was empty, splattering for several feet.

Since he had already started, Yang Qian didn't mind using a heavier hand. It would be best to suppress the enemy in one go and subdue him, to avoid more trouble with complaints later.

Killing one monster is certainly not enough.

What Hua Xiaorou wanted to do immediately was to counterattack, but what appeared in an instant was the thunder energy that had been gathering rapidly in the formation.

Click!

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere. It did not break the roof, nor did it splash and damage the surrounding tables and chairs. It just appeared from a few feet above Hua Xiaorou's head as if it had determined its destination and hit her hard on the back.

The trap array inside the array disk already had the effect of locking the opponent's breath and soul. With this as an anchor point, it was easy for Yang Qian to add thunder magic into it. He could even create a sudden and ridiculously accurate thunder bombardment like the one just now.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a calf struck Hua Xiaorou, and her back was smashed to the ground. The pretty features on her face could no longer be maintained, and a fox's sharp mouth appeared, and her eyes also changed back to animal form, but her body was barely maintained and did not completely reveal its shape.

You have to know that this is the righteous thunder method cast by a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul Realm, which has a restraining effect on demon cultivators. In addition, there is a huge gap in their realms, so it is natural for him to be crushed.

Click!

The second thunder came soon after, one after another. In less than three breaths, Hua Xiaorou was seriously injured before she could even say a word. It was difficult for her to maintain her human form, so she could only curl up on the ground in the form of a half-human, half-beast and wait for death.

As for the other demon cultivators and those who assisted the evil, they were so frightened that they dared not move, because it was difficult for them to even gather the spiritual energy needed to cast spells in this trapped array, and they could not escape.

After three thunders, Hua Xiaorou was already subdued. At least she didn't dare to make any more noise. She knew that she was now like a fish at the mercy of others in this magic circle.

"I'll ask you again, will you accept my reward? If you still don't want to accept it, I won't force you. How do you think?"

At this time, Hua Xiaorou could no longer be stubborn. She said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, please ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know!"

"Very good, let's continue with the question about the money for meat. Which forces are running this business?"

"Taocheng is run by the demon cultivators and independent cultivators from Baiguling and the Thirty-three Caves, as well as Taocheng's government offices, garrisons, and Shuangqing Prefecture's Lord Xiao Cangyu.

Xiao Cangyu sent the news, and Taocheng screened the prisoners sent here and classified them into different categories: those who were to be laborers, those who were to be sold as slaves, those who could only be used as blood food, and those who could be recruited to become bandits.

After that, it was handed over to Baiguling and Sanshisandong to deal with.

The profits from the transactions will be converted into silver, elixirs or magical instruments and returned to the government offices, garrisons and Xiao Cangyu.

In addition to Baiguling and Sanshisandong, Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin are also doing the meat money business. The situation is the same. They all take over the latter half from the government offices. "

Yang Qian frowned when he heard this.

It wasn't that he was upset by the mess in Shuangqing Mansion. He had a premonition that he would be murdered when he entered Shuangqing Mansion. He was not surprised at this moment.

The reason why Yang Qian frowned was that he had never heard of the forces like the Thirty-Three Caves that Hua Xiaorou mentioned.

Before, Yue Wang Zhou Zhong provoked the disaster in Jizhou Prefecture. Afterwards, Yang Qian seized a lot of Huashen Sect's classics, which recorded the many experiences of Huashen Sect in the past few hundred years. Among them, it included the general process of being driven out of Shuangqing Prefecture, traveling to many places and finally meeting Zhou Zhong. Among the remnants of Huashen Sect, there are Yuanying Realm and Out-of-Body Realm Great Evil Cultivators. This is a force that cannot be ignored no matter where it is placed. The force that can drive them away will definitely be stronger.

According to the information Yang Qian collected, the two forces mentioned most often were "Chansi Cave" and "Feiyun Valley". These two groups bullied the people of Huashen Sect in the past.

But now he has not appeared at all in Hua Xiaorou's business of sex money.

Either Hua Xiaorou was lying, or there was another reason.

For example, the meat money business seems to be very profitable, but it is not taken seriously by Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave. If you don't participate, it will naturally not be mentioned.

"The forces you are talking about are the four most powerful forces in Shuangqing Prefecture, right?"

Hua Xiaorou raised her head and glanced at Yang Qian. Seeing the smile on Yang Qian's face, she suddenly felt uneasy for no reason, and she didn't dare to have any more distracting thoughts. After all, these things didn't have anything to do with him directly. If he didn't tell the truth, he would be killed by lightning.

"No, there are more powerful forces, but they are all hidden deep in the bamboo sea and can never be encountered."

"Hidden in the bamboo forest? Why don't you come out?"

"There are rumors that there are spiritual stone veins in the bamboo sea. But I really don't know the details."

"Have you heard of Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave?"

"I've heard of it, but never seen it. It's said that a few decades ago, people from Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave would walk out of the bamboo sea, but now they've disappeared for a long time."

"Has no one looked for them?"

"Sir, the bamboo sea is full of smoke and miasma, and there are ferocious monsters and poisonous insects. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. No one is willing to take the risk."

"Have you heard of Requiem Tower?"

Hua Xiaorou thought about it and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Yang Qian then asked, "What about the Huashen Sect? I heard that their remnants have been active in Shuangqing Prefecture for a long time. Have you heard about it?"

"I have heard of them, sir. It is said that they often move around in Hengcheng and Linshuicheng, but I haven't heard from them for a long time. It seems that they moved somewhere else."

"Do you know why they left so suddenly?"

Shaking her head, Hua Xiaorou said, "I'm not sure about that. I just remember that the people from Huashen Sect seemed to go deep into the bamboo sea often. Maybe they offended someone they shouldn't have offended."

Yang Qian was silent for a long time after hearing this. It seemed that the reason why Huashen Sect suffered at the hands of Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave was probably related to something in the bamboo sea.

But why was there no mention of this in the news of the seizure?

Seeing that Yang Qian remained silent for a long time, Hua Xiaorou asked tentatively: "Master Yang, do you have anything else to ask? If you are satisfied, can you release me from this place?"

Yang Qian smiled but said nothing, he stood up and walked out. As he walked, the seals in his hands flew out quickly, raising the thunder energy and gathering the thunder method. In the blink of an eye, the entire Baihua Tower was filled with signs of thunder.

"Yang Qian! What are you doing? You are not keeping your word and going back on your words!?"

"Yeah, what can you do to me?"
