Chapter 83

The next day, at noon.

Just after Lu Changsheng finished lunch and practiced martial arts for a while, bursts of footsteps came from outside his own courtyard.

A few breaths later, several figures crossed the threshold and walked toward the courtyard.

The two leading women looked young and beautiful, and they were Yue Shulan and Lu Xue.

Behind them were Xiao Chao and two other men.

These people were Lu Changsheng's former teammates.

After Lu Changsheng helped change their route, the few would run to his house whenever they had time, and as time went by, their relationship became much closer.

"Captain is still relaxed and free, without mission constraints."

Yue Shulan walked over gracefully, with a smile on her face.

Xiao Chao and the others behind her were also full of envy.

The group came to the table and sat down.

"Thank you, Captain, for the last matter, otherwise we would probably have fallen outside the city."

Lu Xue was full of gratitude.

"Is the situation outside the county town so severe?"

Lu Changsheng's expression moved slightly.

During these days, he had been digging for spiritual creatures, but he hadn't paid attention to the situation outside the city, and he didn't expect it to have rotted to such a point.

"Sigh... not only Changping County, but even Qingning Prefecture City is not having a good time, a large number of Heavenly Demon Gate demons are stirring up trouble outside the city..."

Yue Shulan was also full of worry.

"In such a chaotic situation, I don't know when there will be a turning point."

Lu Xue on the side heard this and said with a deep and unfathomable face: "The situation in the future will only become more severe. The nine princes in the Capital City all want to sit on that chair, so where do they have the leisure to clean up the Heavenly Demon Gate..."

Everyone heard this, and their expressions paused.

They also knew that what the other side said was the truth.

Ever since the Old Emperor went into seclusion, the disputes among the princes had deepened day by day.

If it weren't for the fact that the Old Emperor hadn't died yet and his remaining prestige still existed, they would probably have started fighting long ago.

Lu Changsheng heard this and did not speak to refute.

These were no longer secrets, and most warriors knew it well.

Otherwise, the demon and evil forces outside the city would not be so rampant.

"I heard that the group of cultists also evaluated the Top Ten Ghost Soul Envoys, tit-for-tat with the Six Major Patrol Envoys of the Demon Suppression Office."

At this time, Yue Shulan said softly.

"Oh?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly; he didn't know about this.

"Do you have intelligence on the other side?"

Yue Shulan smiled sweetly, took out a few sheets of white paper from her bosom, and placed them directly on the table.

The paper depicted the portraits and introductions of several Wenxiang Sect members, which must be the so-called Ghost Soul Envoys.

"Miss Yue is thoughtful, this thing is useful to me."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

This intelligence was quite detailed, and it must have been specially brought by Yue Shulan from the Demon Suppression Office.

With it, he wouldn't be careless and underestimate the enemy when he met the other side.

These Ghost Soul Envoys were at least Bone-forging perfection, and some even stepped into Blood Transmutation, so their strength could not be underestimated.

Subsequently, the group communicated for a while longer, and Yue Shulan and the others got up and left.

The next two days.

Lu Changsheng had been practicing martial arts at home during the day and digging for spiritual creatures at night.

When he had time, he would read some ancient books to enhance his knowledge.

At the same time, the intelligence of that group of Ghost Soul Envoys was also firmly remembered in his heart.

Early in the morning.

Just as Lu Changsheng was preparing to patrol outside the city, a piece of news instantly exploded the whole city.

A Patrol Envoy under Xiao Tiansi died miserably outside the city, and even his head was sent to the city gate.

This was simply a naked provocation.

Countless warriors in the city were full of anger, and the crowd was indignant.

You must know that every Patrol Envoy is an outstanding existence among Bone-forging.

Not only must the speed be fast enough, but the own realm cannot be too weak.

The three branch halls only selected a total of six people, and he didn't expect that in less than three months, one would be beheaded.

This caused the morale of the entire Demon Suppression Office warriors to drop by a notch.

Soon, Lu Changsheng also received this intelligence at home, which was sent by Qin Ruobing.

He held the intelligence in his hand, which was written quite detailedly, and it was exactly that the Wenxiang Sect Ghost Soul Envoy set a trap and killed the Patrol Envoy on the spot.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng put away the intelligence, and cold light flickered in his eyes.

These cultists were becoming more and more rampant.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

After Lu Changsheng washed up, he prepared to patrol outside the city.

At this time, Fang Qing also brought Fang Tao over.

"Changsheng, be careful when going out, I heard that it is very chaotic outside the city..."

Fang Qing was full of worry, her soft little hands tidying up the official uniform for Lu Changsheng.

Fang Tao on the side was also quite nervous.

The stable days now were all brought by Lu Changsheng, and they were also afraid that something would happen to Lu Changsheng. It is said that many warriors died outside the city.

"Don't worry, if the situation is not right, I will retreat immediately."

Lu Changsheng smiled and comforted.

Since he put on this official robe and became a Patrol Envoy, he would not choose to retreat.

Only strong strength can protect one's own relatives in troubled times.

He had also been practicing this way.

Lu Changsheng walked toward the outside of the courtyard with big strides.

After leaving his own courtyard, he walked all the way to the city gate.

Figures on both sides gave way one after another, full of awe.

For Lu Changsheng, this newly promoted Patrol Envoy, the surrounding commoners were also well-known, and he became a model for countless parents to educate their children.

Soon, Lu Changsheng left the city gate, kicked his legs, and rushed quickly into a dense forest in front.

Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately operated the 【Shrink Bone Skill】.

"Click, click..."

A few light sounds came, and Lu Changsheng's figure and appearance changed instantly, turning into a burly man with a rough face.

Even familiar people would find it difficult to recognize him face to face. Ever since the 【Shrink Bone Skill】 technique reached perfection, the effect became more and more magical.

If he continued to improve it all the way, would it become a legendary skill? This made Lu Changsheng quite look forward to it.

………………

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

On an official road more than two hundred miles away from Changping County.

A large group of figures were fighting fiercely on both sides of the official road, and many corpses had already fallen to the ground, and bright red fresh blood stained a large area of grass nearby.

Shouting and roaring sounds spread throughout the battlefield.

It was exactly a group of Wenxiang Sect members and Black Mountain Bandits surrounding and killing the government escort team.

The official forces were surrounded, and had already fallen into a desperate situation.

The leader among the cultists was in red robes, his face was gloomy, and his whole body was full of murderous intent.

This person was exactly one of the Top Ten Ghost Soul Envoys, Duan Lingyun.

"Quickly kill these eagles and dogs."

Duan Lingyun's tone was extremely cold.

"Obey orders."

A group of men in black around were full of awe.

Everyone knew that this Ghost Soul Envoy Lord was a name killed out, and he didn't know how many infant blood essences he had collected to practice this evil skill, making people extremely afraid.

Soon, a group of people immediately killed their way toward the remaining government personnel.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The fighting between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

The leader of the government side was a middle-aged man with late-stage Bone-forging cultivation.

This person was struggling to resist the attack of a man in black, and it was somewhat dangerous.

Just at this time, Duan Lingyun seized the opportunity and took action instantly.

He kicked his legs and arrived before the middle-aged man like a thunderbolt, his right hand suddenly reaching forward.

Before the middle-aged man could react, he directly penetrated the opponent's chest, revealing a bloody palm, which was quite creepy.

"The Demon Suppression Office will not... let you go..."

The middle-aged man spat out a sentence full of unwillingness, and then fell backward directly.

Soon, under the layer-by-layer strangulation of the surrounding cultists, there were no living people on the field.

Just when Duan Lingyun was preparing to lead everyone away, a sudden change occurred.

I saw an afterimage rushing quickly from the jungle in the distance, with astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

This person was exactly Lu Changsheng, who had changed his appearance.

After hearing the shouting, he rushed over without stopping, but unfortunately, he was still a step late.

He looked at the broken limbs and arms all over the ground, and murderous intent erupted in his eyes.

There wasn't even a living person on the field, all were abused and killed, extremely cruel.

Some of the commoner warriors here were Lu Changsheng's colleagues, who used to talk and laugh in the past, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, they would be separated by heaven and man.

"Which Patrol Envoy are you? This seat remembers that there is no you among the remaining five."

Duan Lingyun stared fixedly at Lu Changsheng, his eyes quite confused.

He felt an aura of a strong man on Lu Changsheng.

Even he himself felt a deep threat.

This made him extremely shocked.

He was at Bone-forging perfection, the opponent couldn't be a Blood Transmutation strongman, so he could only be a certain Patrol Envoy.

"Did you kill all these people?"

Lu Changsheng's tone was gloomy, and his eyes were extremely cold.

He recognized the person in front of him at a glance; it was exactly the tenth of the Top Ten Ghost Soul Envoys, Duan Lingyun, with Bone-forging perfection strength.

According to the intelligence, this person had abused and killed hundreds of young girls and infants to extract blood essence and practice evil methods, completely losing his humanity.

For this kind of person, Lu Changsheng must kill him today.

Duan Lingyun heard this and looked understated.

"Not bad, these people were all abused and killed by this seat. Why, do you want to avenge them?"

He had abused and killed many people, so he naturally didn't care about this.

Although the person in front of him had a great sense of threat, he didn't think he would lose.

This is the confidence of being at Bone-forging perfection.

His own defense, speed, and strength had all reached the top level, and except for the first few Ghost Soul Envoys, he didn't fear any warrior of the same rank.

"Kill."

Lu Changsheng didn't bother to talk nonsense, directly drew the Killing Pig Knife, and killed his way up fiercely.

His body method flashed, instantly arriving before the opponent, and he slashed forward with one blade.

"Shoo..."

The dazzling cold light shuttled through the void, and even the air emitted bursts of roaring sounds.

With this blade, he directly used his full strength, without the slightest reservation.

Except for not using the secret technique 【Three Fold Wave】.

Tens of thousands of jin of power, plus minor accomplishment blade technique, the power erupted was also extremely terrifying.

"Drink!"

Duan Lingyun felt a powerful momentum lock onto himself, making his expression tighten.

He didn't dare to be negligent, and with a full-strength blade, he slashed forward.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The violent collision sound echoed throughout the field, air waves swept in all directions, and even the ground cracked, in disarray.

Under one strike.

Duan Lingyun was directly shaken by a giant force to retreat more than ten meters backward, standing in the center of the official road with a face full of fear.

"Who exactly are you? The Demon Suppression Office definitely doesn't have a character like you."

Layers of giant waves seemed to surge in his heart.

He was extremely familiar with the strongmen of the Demon Suppression Office, and it was impossible for such a person to suddenly pop out.

In contrast, Lu Changsheng stood firmly in place, his expression as calm as water, not paying any attention to the opponent's roar at all.

This person must die today without a doubt.

The group of cultists watching around were also full of fear.

They also didn't expect that Duan Lingyun, this Ghost Soul Envoy, would actually fall into a disadvantage.

This simply refreshed everyone's cognition.

Since when did a random Demon Suppression Office warrior have such strength?
