Chapter 74

As the city defense army cleaned up the demon corpses outside the city, Song Yueyao also reported the situation of the Black Wind Mountain Range to Yue Shuhong.

Yue Shuhong immediately sent scouts to check and verify.

When the scouts saw the mountain top covered with demon corpses, the whole person was scared silly.

The number of demon corpses here was not a bit less than those piled up outside the city.

Especially that square high platform of demon corpses, which was full of Great Demons. A rough count showed there were more than twenty.

The scouts also saw the Giant Power True God bear demon, who was famous outside the city, but at this moment, the other party had also turned into a slightly rotting corpse emitting a foul odor, piled under the meat platform.

The scouts' legs trembled, and they ran back to the city hurriedly, reporting this news to Yue Shuhong one by one.

After Yue Shuhong finished listening, he stood blankly for a long time before letting out a long breath.

He had been sitting in Cangyu City for decades and naturally knew that the Great Demons lurking around Cangyu City should have all been cut clean by Li Hao! If it weren't for the fact that the Tan Palace Academy happened to assign tasks this time, and it happened to be received by Li Hao... Yue Shuhong couldn't imagine what kind of human purgatory Cangyu City would have turned into at this moment.

He was both excited and sighing. A big stone that had been pressing on his heart for decades finally fell at this moment.

Two days later.

The demon corpses outside Cangyu City were basically cleaned up, and the academy mission of Li Hao and the others was announced to be over.

They came in a hurry, but the return journey was quite leisurely and relaxed. Yue Shuhong equipped the group with a carriage.

He personally sent everyone to the city gate to say goodbye.

"Young Master, I have already reported the matter of Cangyu City to the state government."

"In addition, once everything here is settled and handled properly, I will personally go to the Imperial Capital to request the death penalty."

Outside the carriage, Yue Shuhong said with a solemn expression, cupping his hands.

Li Hao glanced at him and immediately understood that he was preparing to take all the blame on himself alone.

"Do you know that if all such crimes are added to you, it will implicate the nine clans." Li Hao said.

Yue Shuhong's expression was calm, and he said calmly: "I know, so I have long since severed ties with the nine clans. Twelve years ago, I had already severed them. According to Da Yu law, if the relationship is severed for more than ten years, it will be regarded as not coming and going, having no connection, and the crime will not implicate."

Li Hao stared at him and said: "It seems you are also a good chess player."

"Young Master is too polite."

Li Hao didn't say anything more, retracted his palm, and put down the carriage curtain:

"It's a pity, you won't be able to taste the wine brewed from the Tiger-Robed head."

Yue Shuhong's body shook slightly. He was silent for a moment before looking up, a smile appearing on his face: "If Young Master doesn't mind, when you pass by Cangyu City in the future, sprinkle a cup on this road, and it will be as if I am drinking with you."

The breeze rolled the curtain, swaying slightly.

A word came from inside:

"Can."

The smile on Yue Shuhong's face became even more radiant.

The carriage drove slowly. Under the whip of the coachman, in the morning sun, it followed the official road extended by cypress trees, moving forward all the way.

That city, and the people at the city gate, gradually became tiny.

But one could vaguely see that person shaking his arm at the carriage, as if saying goodbye, and then bowing deeply again.

Until they could no longer see each other.

Inside the carriage, there were only Li Hao, Ren Qianqian, Li Yuanzhao, and others.

The coachman was a soldier from Cangyu City. After sending Li Hao and the others to Qingzhou, he had to drive the carriage back to Cangyu City himself.

Wei Feng had said goodbye to the group in a hurry yesterday. With Li Hao there, he didn't need to protect his Miss in the shadows.

Compared to the Miss's safety, he was now more worried that the Miss would really agree to Li Hao and become his follower.

Although Li Hao had a prominent identity, Ren Qianqian was a Grandmaster's daughter after all. Becoming a follower, this background would be engraved on her for a lifetime.

He had to go back quickly to request reinforcements. Only if the Master came out could he persuade the Miss.

As for Li Fu, his injuries hadn't healed, so he stayed in Cangyu City to recuperate. At this time, less than an hour after leaving Cangyu City, on the official road, two fast horses suddenly drove toward Li Hao and the others.

The people on the fast horses seemed to recognize the Cangyu City flag on the carriage. After passing the carriage for dozens of meters, they suddenly pulled the horse reins, turned around, returned to the front of the carriage, and stopped the group.

"Stop!"

On the fast horses were a man and a woman. The man was in his twenties, wearing purple battle armor, a sword at his waist, and a flying feather hat, looking heroic.

The woman was wearing purple soft battle armor, with a bow on her back and a sword at her waist, without a helmet, only a head of green silk following the cloak of the battle armor, fluttering behind her.

"Are you a soldier from Cangyu City?"

After stopping the carriage, the youth immediately gripped the horse whip and pointed at the coachman with slight anger.

The coachman was stunned. After recognizing the armor of the two, he was so scared that he hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Cangyu City City Defense Department Squad Leader Yue Ming, has seen the two lords."

"Why are you here? Who is in the carriage?"

The youth shouted angrily: "I heard that there are demons attacking the city in Cangyu City. Are you deserters who abandoned the city?!"

Having said this, a cold killing intent already appeared in his eyes.

The coachman Yue Ming said hurriedly: "Two lords, you misunderstood. The demon disaster in the city has already been quelled. I am following the city guard's instructions to send these Tan Palace students back to Qingzhou."

"Tan Palace students?"

Hearing this, the two's eyes moved slightly. The youth's expression relaxed slightly, and he said: "Call them out, let me see."

The Tan Palace Academy in Qingzhou was famous all over the world, and they were also aware of it. However, for them, there was no need to practice in Tan Palace.

Li Hao and the others in the carriage also heard the movement outside. Yu Wei sat at the carriage door, immediately lifted the curtain and looked out, wondering which guy it was, so blind? Stopping him was fine, but there were two people surnamed Li, Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao, in the carriage.

"It's the Xia family's military armor."

Li Yuanzhao recognized the identities of the two through the carriage curtain immediately.

Both were from the Divine General Mansion. Although Li Yuanzhao hadn't traveled far, he had learned about these common-sense things of the top noble families.

The two on the fast horses saw the young faces of Li Hao and the others, plus the Tan Palace academy uniforms on their bodies, and immediately knew that the coachman hadn't lied.

"I ask you, what do you mean by saying the demon disaster is resolved?" The heroic woman looked at the coachman coldly.

The coachman said nervously: "Reporting to the lord, the demons were making trouble, but fortunately, Young Master Li acted to quell the demon chaos."

"Young Master Li?"

The youth frowned and said: "Which Young Master Li?"

"It's the Li family of the Qingzhou Divine General Mansion." The coachman said respectfully.

"Hmm?"

Xia Yong and Xia Qingshuang looked at each other. It was actually them? Wait, Young Master? Being able to be addressed like this, it should be the third generation of the Li family.

After all, the second generation of the Li family were already middle-aged, and only three remained, all of whom were famous all over the world.

It was just heard that this demon disaster had a Fifteen-Li Realm Great Demon sitting in command, carrying tens of thousands of demons. With such momentum, at least two Fifteen-Li Realm geniuses from their Xia family would have to be dispatched to suppress it.

But for the third generation of the Li family, no well-known figures had been heard of yet.

More than ten years ago, there were a few who caused small waves in this world.

One worshiped under the Buddha Lord of Mount Wuliang at the age of six, and another studied under a Taoist from Qianji Mountain, both were personal disciples.

It was said that there was another one who was blessed by heaven at birth and was personally named by the Emperor of Yu. People therefore concluded that his aptitude was extremely high, but later there was no news, and it was rumored that he was a cultivation waste, but the truth was unknown.

"Could it be that the one from Mount Wuliang has entered the world?"

The two looked at each other. Being able to be called Young Master, it was clearly impossible for it to be the Li family girl who killed her way into the Qian Ranking a year ago.

"The third generation of the Li family from Mount Wuliang should be eighteen this year. An eighteen-year-old Fifteen-Li Realm..." Xia Yong narrowed his eyes, with a trace of fighting spirit.

Beside him, Xia Qingshuang's expression was calm, and she said: "Since that's the case, we can rest easy."

She looked at the coachman and said: "I ask you, what were the casualties in the city?"

"Reporting to the lord, only more than two hundred city defense soldiers were injured, and more than ten died."

The coachman Yue Ming was extremely respectful.
