Chapter 124: In a fit of anger, he got a little angry

The sky was faintly bright.

North Cloud City Commandant's Office.

Wu family head Wu Daquan gazed excitedly at the Commandant's Office ahead, and after three or four hours of keeping watch, he finally captured a Corpse-Chasing Sect disciple; after interrogation he learned the sect's secret, and also that its Grand Elder was about to emerge from seclusion, and that there was a Corpse King refined from a Primordial Core Realm corpse.

He felt that he had discovered a great secret.

Wu Daquan looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guard stationed at the gate and said, "Hello, I am Wu family head Wu Daquan; I wish to see Commandant Shen, I have important information to report."

The scholar came out from the gate and said, "Wu family head, do you have any information? If you don't mind, you can wait in our public hall for a moment."

"Our boss should be back soon."

Wu Daquan hurriedly nodded and said, "No rush, no rush, I'll wait a moment."

Suddenly, the two Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the gate seemed to have discovered something and looked up at the sky.

"Hey, what is that? How is it flying so fast?"

Wu Daquan also raised his head; being a newly advanced Grand Master, his eyesight was naturally better than that of the few Embroidered Uniform Guards.

"Flying through the void! He is a Primordial Core Realm expert!"

Everyone gasped; they had all heard of the fame of Primordial Core Realm experts.

But soon Wu Daquan realized something was off.

"Hey, no, no, why does it seem to be flying toward us?"

"Quick, quick, quick! Lower your heads!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guards hurriedly lowered their heads, but the scholar did not lower his; he always felt that the flying figure was very familiar.

Not long after, a loud tearing-through-the-air sound rang out, and Shen Qing steadily landed at the Commandant's Office gate holding the general's remains.

Wu Daquan didn't even lift his head; his body trembled slightly, and cold sweat continually poured from his forehead.

At that moment, the scholar let out a sound of surprise.

"Boss, you're back! How... how..."

The scholar was somewhat incoherent, his finger continuously pointing at the sky, unable to speak.

Shen Qing chuckled: "Haha, later I'll take you up for a few flights."

The scholar's eyes lit up as he nodded.

Wu Daquan carefully raised his head to take a look at Shen Qing, and upon confirming it was indeed Shen Qing himself, his trembling worsened.

He remembered that Shen Qing was not a Grand Master; how could he fly? Isn't flight technique a privilege of the Primordial Core Realm?

Moreover, even if he could fly, where would he get the true qi to sustain flight?

Could it really be that King Yama has been reincarnated to wander the mortal world?

Shen Qing handed the general's remains in his hand over to the scholar.

"Scholar, if you have time, please help investigate the identity of this corpse."

"In life he was a Primordial Core Realm cultivator, a general of Great Wu; five years ago he fell at the border of Jia Shui Jun and was refined into a Corpse King by the Corpse-Chasing Sect."

"Prioritize checking the east side; the East Sea Commandery and the Japanese pirates are fighting fiercely there, so the general might be from that side."

The excitement in the scholar's eyes slightly faded, replaced by solemnity, as he received the remains.

"I'll go check right away; a fallen Primordial Core Realm general should have records, and I will notify his family to come."

"An anti-Japanese general shouldn't end up like this."

Shen Qing glanced at Wu Daquan and said, "He is."

The scholar spoke: "He is the Wu family head, saying he has important information to report to you, boss."

Wu Daquan hastily bowed and said, "Wu Daquan has met Commandant Shen; I have important matters..."

He had intended to speak about the Corpse-Chasing Sect, but suddenly realized that what Shen Qing had just been holding in his hand seemed to be a Primordial Core Realm Corpse King.

Instantly, embarrassment welled up, and he didn't know what to say.

Shen Qing chuckled, his innate six senses picking up on Wu Daquan's embarrassment, and he also understood the situation.

"You are Wu Gu's father, right? Wu Gu is quite good."

"This time your Wu family has rendered great merit; the Commandant's Office will also record this achievement and award you, sending the reward to your mansion."

Having said that, Shen Qing walked toward the Commandant's Office, and the scholar seemed to have thought of something, following behind him.

"By the way, boss, just now someone wanted to see you: the Assistant Magistrate of North Cloud City, who said he wanted to rebuild Prosperity Street."

"Prosperity Street was previously the most bustling street in North Cloud City, but it was ruined by the Japanese pirates, all the shops gone; now they want to cooperate with some local forces to rebuild Prosperity Street, so they came to ask for your opinion, boss."

Shen Qing pointed at Wu Daquan and said, "Isn't there someone right here? Just have the Wu family come."

"Wu family head, are you willing?"

Wu Daquan's face instantly reddened; he bowed deeply, his voice stammering: "I... I... Wu Daquan thanks Commandant Shen!"

Only after Shen Qing had completely disappeared from sight did the gate's Embroidered Uniform Guard speak.

"Wu family head, stop bowing; Commandant Shen has already vanished from sight."

Only then did Wu Daquan utter a few words, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up: "Please excuse my foolishness."

He turned and walked toward the Wu family home.

Just thinking that his Wu family actually still had a chance to rise higher.

He, a two-hundred-year-old Grand Master, actually jumped up like a child and bounced all the way back to the Wu family home.

South of Jia Shui Jun.

Japanese pirates' main base.

Several Japanese pirates were plotting here; naturally the leader was the Japanese pirate commander in Jia Shui Jun, Gongben Sansong, and the others were Japanese ninjas.

The function of Japanese ninjas is roughly equivalent to that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This group is a ninja organization called the Northern Celebration Ninja Organization.

Gongben Sansong pointed at the map of Jia Shui Jun in front of him, drawing two red circles on it.

One is at Bai Lu Ze, the other is at Bei Yun Cheng.

"So, this is our target this time: to make the rear of Jia Shui Jun fall into complete chaos."

"I will repeat the plan steps again."

"First, Bai Lu Ze: we have already negotiated with the ferocious beasts inside, giving them an offer they cannot refuse; they will charge out of Bai Lu Ze and attack the four cities in the north of Jia Shui Jun, at which point the rear of Jia Shui Jun will surely fall into chaos, and those troops will surely lose their formation."

"Listen up, the next is the most important point! At that time, Shen Qing will surely leave Bei Yun City to go exterminate the ferocious beasts! Then our opportunity will come; next we must have Bei He Ren encircle and kill Shen Qing! This time we must eradicate Shen Qing, this scourge!"

"Finally! Our front lines will also launch an attack on the Da Wu army! This time we must surely inflict heavy casualties on them!"

Gongben Sansong's tone was full of resolve, his eyes filled with fury.

Since Shen Qing arrived in Jia Shui Jun, everything has gone wrong for him; in reality, the genius assassin he sent to the rear of Jia Shui Jun, Shanben, has gone missing, and according to the reports, it is highly likely that Shen Qing killed him on the way to taking office.

After that, the Wokou who had spent years infiltrating Bei Yun City were all captured by Shen Qing in one sweep.

The direct-line Black Snake Army was completely wiped out; it is said that not even a whole corpse remained.

The one sent to destroy the anti-Wokou sect, Songxia, was also beaten to death by Shen Qing.

Until a few days ago, the secret agent Yecun was also beaten to death by Shen Qing; this Yecun was a secret agent he had cultivated for years, and for these years the intelligence of Jia Shui Jun had basically been under his control.

Upon hearing the news of Yecun's death, he vomited three mouthfuls of blood in succession, his fury extraordinary, on the verge of losing his sanity, even wanting to have his command post torn down.

But soon he rebuilt the command post with his own hands.

He was just angry for a moment.
