Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 399: Not Closer, But Further Away

Along the way, Jiang Yun and his party always felt that they might have come to the wrong place. The Shuangqing Prefecture they were familiar with had suddenly changed and became unrecognizable.

Yang Qian's reputation in Shuangqing Prefecture far surpassed that of Emperor Hongwu.

When passing a fork in the road, Jiang Yun and others saw craftsmen building a shrine at the fork in the road. The name of the shrine was: The Statue of the Great and Kind Yang Qian.

Jiang Yun’s eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw this scene.

What is this? This is the creation of a statue or a deity! Or is it spontaneous?

But Jiang Yun was relieved after a change of mind. From what he saw and heard on the way to Shuangqing Prefecture, he understood how much benefit these changes had brought to the lives of ordinary people in Shuangqing Prefecture. They could survive! Could there be a greater benefit than this?
The words of the craftsman who made the shrine are even more direct: In the past, praying to other gods was useless. No one can escape the fate of bad luck. Now we have made a statue of Lord Yang. If you have nothing to do, pray to him more often. It really works!
This was an invisible pressure for Jiang Yun and his party. They understood that at this time in Shuangqing Prefecture, except for the Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley in the Wanli Bamboo Sea, no one dared to provoke Yang Qian.

Is it really possible for a Nascent Soul cultivator to be so powerful?
It’s not that the Nascent Soul Realm is not strong, but the water in Shuangqing Prefecture is too deep. It seems that the Nascent Soul Realm alone cannot suppress the situation.

But we can't say that Yang Qian has already reached the Out-of-Body Realm, right? Isn't this more exaggerated than myths and legends?

But for some reason, the closer Jiang Yun and others got to the capital, the less unacceptable they seemed to be to Yang Qian's various exaggerated ideas.

That man is a monster!

When they entered the city of Shuangqing Prefecture, a guard came to ask Jiang Yun for his travel permit as soon as he entered the city gate. After verification, he was led to the government office and was told that the mayor of the prefecture had ordered them to wait for a long time.

When they saw Yang Qian, the oppressive feeling as if they were standing under a majestic peak made Jiang Yun's fellow brothers and sisters dare not even raise their heads. They could only stand by with their heads lowered and sweat on their foreheads.

Jiang Yun was also shocked in his heart, but he managed to keep calm. He bowed and greeted him, saying, "Congratulations! Sir Yang has made great progress in his cultivation, and it is just around the corner for him to crush the immortals and mortals!"

This kind of horse was the limit of what Jiang Yun could think of. But he had to admit in his heart that Yang Qian's cultivation was indeed unfathomable, far beyond his current strength.

Yang Qian smiled and seemed to have just reacted, and he restrained his aura, which made Jiang Yun's fellow disciples straighten their backs.

"Brother Jiang, you are too kind. All my skills are due to luck, and they are incomparable to Brother Jiang's real skills. And it is Brother Jiang who should be congratulated. It seems that not only has he recovered from his serious injury, but his cultivation has also greatly improved. I think the Tianhan Sect will create more glory in Brother Jiang's hands!"

After some pleasantries, Jiang Yun went straight to the point.

"Master Yang, I came here this time to invite you to explore the secret realm that only my Tianhan Sect can find. Do you have time?"

Yang Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the secret realm that Jiang Yun had mentioned before would actually be in Shuangqing Prefecture!
But hadn't the secret realm in Shuangqing Mansion been searched thoroughly? How come there were still some fish that slipped through the net and were picked up by the elders of Jiang Yun's sect?
Yang Qian himself had searched all the secret realms inside and outside Shuangqing Prefecture not long ago, and had gained a lot of benefits from those inscriptionless tablets. However, he did not find any new secret realms. He even thought that the secret realm that Jiang Yun had been thinking about was somewhere in Jizhou Prefecture.

"Haha, I do have the time, but Brother Jiang, are you sure it's in Shuangqing Mansion? I won't hide it from you. I've visited all the secret places in Shuangqing Mansion, but I didn't find the interesting secret place you mentioned."

"Don't worry, sir. The secret realm is really in Shuangqing Mansion. But the location is extremely special. The ancestors of the sect only discovered it by chance. No one has discovered it in hundreds of years."

As Jiang Yun spoke, he also felt the pressure from Yang Qian recede. He knew that Yang Qian was just showing off his skills to let people know what attitude they should have towards him now, so as to avoid unnecessary temptation and misunderstanding. "Oh? Well, when are you going to leave, Brother Jiang?"

"How about three days later? That place is actually not far from the city."

"Sure. But I don't know if there is anything else I need to pay attention to in that secret realm. Please let me know in advance, Brother Jiang."

"Of course. We suffered heavy losses last time and were unable to go deep into the secret realm, but we also discovered some of the dangerous sources in the secret realm. Apart from the common magic array traps in the secret realm, the most dangerous is the ubiquitous "intention", which is full of knife intention and sword intention."

It was hard for Yang Qian to imagine what the small world mentioned by Jiang Yun, where "every blade of grass and every tree can give rise to the meaning of sword or knife," would look like.

But Yang Qian was sure that if such a place really existed, it would be a great opportunity for him.

"Sir, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"You said."

"Sir, this secret realm is of great importance to our Tianhan Sect. It is the hope for our sect to rise again. So I can only shamelessly ask for more resources in the secret realm. Of course, if you like anything, you can take it. I just hope that you can leave 60% for our Tianhan Sect."

Yang Qian laughed and said, “Haha, these are just details. If there really is a secret realm like the one you mentioned, being able to comprehend the sword intent in it would be the greatest gain for me. Let alone 60%, it doesn’t matter if I give you all of it. When the time comes, you can just give me some hard-earned money, hahahaha.”

It's not that Yang Qian is poor and generous, but his demand for cultivation resources is really not high. It can even be said to be very low.

It is completely nonsense to expect a idiot who is too lazy to even use spirit stones to practice to have much interest in practice resources.

Hearing Yang Qian's answer, Jiang Yun was so happy that he went crazy. He quickly bowed and thought to himself that Yang Qian was so righteous. He knew the significance of the secret realm to the Tianhan Sect and chose to help directly. He was very moved.

Of course, since Yang Qian was so righteous, Jiang Yun would not let Yang Qian work in vain. He made up his mind that after entering the secret realm, he would pick out the best things for Yang Qian as a thank you.

three days later.

After Yang Qian gave Juan a few instructions, he used the cloud-flying technique to carry Jiang Yun and his party to the destination, which saved a lot of time. The journey that would have taken three days was now completed in a short while.

The people of Tianhan Sect were filled with mixed feelings. They had expected Yang Qian to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Now that the soaring cloud technique had been used, there was no doubt about it. At the same time, they were madly complaining in their hearts: A monster is a monster! How could he cultivate so fast?

"Sir, this is the peak of the valley ahead. We can go down now." Jiang Yun was standing on the cloud and was also sighing in his heart. He no longer dared to joke with Yang Qian casually as he did before, and even his tone became respectful involuntarily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tengyun began to fall towards a small hill in front.

PS: I will make up one chapter in the afternoon. I have been busy these two days, so I bow to you all!
