Chapter 334

"By the way, I'm a Lianshui Guard now; I'm not a constable anymore."

"Oh, I was wondering about that. Since this isn't the Imperial Capital, why would catching ancient cultivators be the business of a constable?" The Fifth Elder wasn't surprised; or rather, he was more concerned right now with when they would catch up to that Great Yu cultivator.

"What is a Lianshui Guard?" Lu Yang asked, struggling to communicate with Meng Jingzhou via spiritual sense.

When it came to Great Xia official positions, he understood far less than Meng Jingzhou.

Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan were also curiously listening in with their spiritual senses. Actually, Qin Yanyan had heard her mother mention it, but she still didn't know as much as Meng Jingzhou.

"The Lianshui Guards are a special organization established by the Great Xia Dynasty, responsible specifically for capturing those cultivators who commit heinous crimes, such as those from demonic sects, evil cultivators who bully others with their power, or ancient cultivators who don't follow the rules, and so on."

"Do you still remember the incident with the Cloth Town ghost stories? After we and the Sect Master escaped, we told the imperial court about what happened in Cloth Town, and the people the court sent to clean up the mess were the Lianshui Guards."

"After the headquarters of the Decayed Sect was breached, the task of rooting out the various branches of the Decayed Sect was also completed by the Lianshui Guards."

"I've heard of this Head Constable Yu. He used to be one of the Four Great Head Constables of the Imperial Capital. The court must have seen that his cultivation was high, his experience was seasoned, and his methods were ruthless, so they transferred him to the Lianshui Guards."

"The internal leaders of the Lianshui Guards are called the Jiugong. Given his seniority and cultivation, he should be one of the Jiugong."

Old Chu said with a pale face: "How many times have you said that you changed your name to Chu Long?"

I only just remembered the origin of the Mountain Peak.

"So, when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, to avoid trouble, one must either fight on a ring or go out into the world to fight."

"The Inspector managing Qingzhou, who is the head of the province, felt that the cities in the neighboring province were exceptionally prosperous, so he thought about how to make Qingzhou just as prosperous."

【Establish a rule here: Lu Yang transforms into a Mountain God in this place, for your use...】

"After the imperial court learned of this matter, they discovered that there were no laws at all governing such things, and it was difficult to handle, so they issued a regulation: whenever high-tier cultivators fight, they must restore the terrain to its original state."

These two Integration stage cultivators clearly recognized the Fifth Elder, and after a simple greeting, the five of them escorted the Great Yu cultivator back to the imperial court.

Lu Quanyi had similar methods, but the effect was clearly not as good as what the Fifth Elder, a grandmaster of artifact refining, could produce.

The Mountain Peak was a flying magic treasure meticulously refined by the Fifth Elder; its texture was solid and difficult to destroy, and flying at a speed approaching the Tribulation Transcendence stage, the destructive power it generated could be imagined.

"What the hell?!" My expression changed drastically. The speed of this Mountain Peak was simply too fast; I would even believe it if someone said a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator was chasing me.

"Don't talk about thanks. It's rare to be able to legally drag-race a Mountain Peak." The Fifth Elder was exceptionally satisfied with this race. "Next time you run into someone you can't catch, call me. I guarantee I'll be able to catch them!"

Yu Qian sneered and knocked him unconscious with a punch.

"Alright, I'll call for people now." Yu Qian nodded and shot a talisman into the sky. Before long, two more Integration stage cultivators flew over.

"Catching people this time is official business. I don't need to be responsible for the Mountain Peak damaging the terrain; the imperial court is responsible for the aftermath. If a fight occurs due to private matters, either I repair the damaged terrain, or I spend spirit stones to hire someone to repair the terrain."

"Chu Dalong!" The Fifth Elder had collaborated with the Lianshui Guards many times and had basically recognized all of their Integration stage cultivators.

The Fifth Elder introduced them: "Oh, they are the ones responsible for the aftermath work for the imperial court. Your cultivation isn't high enough yet, so you can't reach the level of destroying heaven and earth. Once your cultivation is higher, just moving a few times will punch holes in mountains, crack the earth, and break rivers."

"This chain has locked up all his magic power. Just consider it a gift from me for your righteous act."

Boom— Boom— Boom—

The Fifth Elder kindly reminded them: "By the way, for safety's sake, since this person has mastered unknown secrets, it's best if a few more Integration stage cultivators come to escort him back. It wouldn't be good if he were snatched away halfway."

Li Haoran didn't have as big a reaction as Meng Jingzhou. After all, he was a disciple of the Congwendao Sect; among the elders he encountered every day, which one wasn't top-tier in the Integration stage?

The two of them didn't use their spiritual senses to communicate anymore; the speed of the Mountain Peak was already so fast that their spiritual senses would dissipate the moment they were released, making communication impossible.

"Competing with me in speed?" The Fifth Elder snorted coldly and jumped off the Mountain Peak.

"The two of them fought, the momentum was huge, and the terrain changed because of it. The two of them then used the name of fighting to move the prosperous cities of the neighboring province into the territory of Qingzhou."

Before leaving, several figures flew over from afar. They used earth-element spells to repair the gaps in the terrain caused by the Mountain Peak's collision.

"Oh, that's quite impressive." Lu Yang didn't have much of a feeling about it. He listened to the Decayed Fairy talk about ancient black history every day; she started with Immortals, so he didn't even put the Integration stage in his eyes.

Lu Yang: "..."

The Fifth Elder deliberately held back and didn't directly ram the Great Yu cultivator to death.

"Actually, the root of the regulation to repair the terrain after a fight stems from an incident twenty thousand years ago."

"This villain seems to have mastered unknown secrets, which are of vital importance. Thank you very much this time. Being able to catch this villain is a huge help. When I have time, I'll go find you for a drink!" Yu Qian cupped his hands and thanked him.

Then they collected the trees that had been knocked away; for those still alive, they used the "Tree Planting Art" to plant them back, and for those broken by the collision, they planted new trees.

"Who are these people?" Lu Yang and the other four had never seen such a thing.

The Great Yu cultivator suddenly felt disaster descending. He turned his head and saw a Mountain Peak wreathed in green flames charging straight at him.

"To avoid this situation, the Great Xia Dynasty found a group of cultivators specifically responsible for repairing the terrain, who are proficient in both earth and wood-element spells."

"It just so happened that his cultivation was quite high, at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, so he came up with a good method and brought in his good friend, who was also at the Tribulation Transcendence stage."

Yu Qian wasn't in a hurry either. If even the Fifth Elder couldn't catch up, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

"If left alone, this terrain would change every day, and after a few years, the map of Great Xia would have to be redrawn."

You high-tier cultivators really have a lot of tricks.

"So it's Elder Zhou Xin. I was wondering why Yu Qian said he needed to find help." Old Chu arrived and, seeing that the Great Yu cultivator was already unconscious and bound by the Fifth Elder with chains, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's go back. Things like ancient cultivators are not something you can come into contact with right now. It's too dangerous. Wait until you reach the Spirit Transformation stage before talking about it." The Fifth Elder beckoned to the four little guys, telling them not to think too much.

Lu Yang hadn't expected that the person he suddenly invited onto the flying shuttle to ask the Fifth Elder for help was such a big shot, responsible for capturing cultivators who committed heinous crimes. It went without saying that he must be rich in combat experience, and his cultivation was top-tier among the Integration stage.

The Fifth Elder and Yu Qian were calm and composed, still having the heart to chat.

After crashing through three large mountains, the Mountain Peak finally pinned the Great Yu cultivator against the cliff of the fourth mountain peak, with dust and smoke filling the air.

"Of course, if you are fighting against demonic cultivators, you don't need to be responsible for the damage to the terrain."

"So strong?!"

"By the way, after you catch up, don't be polite. He has killed people."

Rocks and soil floated in the air, rhythmically filling the gaps in the Mountain Peak.

The Great Yu cultivator's chest was pierced by the tip of the Mountain Peak, revealing a large hole. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood, struggling to use the power of rules.

Using the power of rules right under his nose? Did he really think he was just sitting there doing nothing?

The Mountain Peak's speed was too fast; he had no chance to react at all. The sharp tip of the Mountain Peak slammed into his chest.

"How dare you!" The Fifth Elder's temper flared when he heard that. He stomped his foot hard, his whole body erupted in green flames, and the speed of the Mountain Peak increased by another two notches.

Lu Yang and Old Chu, who were following behind, were dumbfounded: "That's Zhou Xin's Mountain Peak!"
