Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 95

The Army is Coming

***

Liu Zhizhen followed Zhou Hongyi to Lu County.

He also wanted to see what kind of person the governor of Lu County treated by a peerless genius like Zhou Hongyi as an opportunity to understand the Great Dao.

He even thought that this could help the Sect Master understand the Dao.

Does such a person really exist in the world?

In the hearts of the disciples of Daoyi Palace, the Sect Master, Zhang Shuming, was an Immortal-like existence. He is aloof from the world and untainted by worldly affairs. He was already standing before the Gates of Heaven and was only a step away from becoming an Immortal.

Could it be that the governor of Lu County was a God?

"Uncle-Lord Zhou, aren't we going to visit Governor Cui?" Liu Zhizhen looked at Zhou Hongyi in bewilderment. Why did he bring her to the inn?

“You and I have traveled far. How can we go and pay our respects in person?” Zhou Hongyi shook his head gently and smiled. “Again, even though you and I are neat and tidy, we can't leave right away.

“Most likely this Governor Cui is an expert who deeply understands the principles of the Great Dao. If we want to pay homage to him, we have to be respectful enough. Let's stay in this inn first, burn incense, bathe, and fast for three days before paying homage.”

"Huh?" Liu Zhizhen was stunned.

Such etiquette was like preparing to welcome an Immortal God. Is the Governor of Lu County really in power?

….

Next morning.

In the hall in the governor's office.

Cui Heng was looking at a map of 13 Fengzhou counties.

He was thinking about what sequence he should apply to the decree in order to maximize the effect of gathering emotions after taking over as the State Supervisor.

At the same time, he also noticed that Yunshu County, which was north of Fengzhou, was bordered by a meadow outside Great Jin.

This could be said to be Fengzhou's first line of defense against a barbarian invasion.

If he were to take over as Fengzhou State Supervisor, he would definitely have to consider how to deal with the barbarians in the meadow.

Of course, it depends on the collection of the Seven Emotions.

"Your majesty!" Right now, Xu Feng'an's voice sounded from outside.

A few days ago, he returned to the Yuhua Sword Pavilion to help Hui Shi carry out the government's decision. He just came back yesterday.

"Please come in." Cui Heng put away the map and smiled. “Minister Xu, why did you come so early?”

“Master, I just saw Zhou Hongyi,” Xu Feng'an said solemnly. “I heard from Hui Shi that he sent a letter saying that he wants to visit you?”

"So he's already here." Cui Heng nodded lightly. "Why didn't I see it coming?"

“I wondered and found that he bought incense and even bought kitchen utensils to cook vegetarian dishes in person.” Xu Feng'an sighed and said, "It seems like he wants to burn incense and not eat before coming to visit you."

"Oh? That's interesting." Cui Heng was a little surprised when he heard this. No matter what Zhou Hongyi thought, this etiquette must have been done to the extreme. He chuckled and said, “He doesn't sound like a Daoist practitioner. He looks more like a scholar.”

“Master, you have sharp eyes. Actually, this Zhou Hongyi is truly a scholar.” Xu Feng'an explained, “He is from the Zhou family in Yuping County in Yongzhou. Even though he was not from the 16 World Families, he was still from a famous local family.

“However, although Zhou Hongyi's father was the head of the Zhou family, his biological mother was only a concubine. It is said that she was a prostitute from a brothel. After she married into the Zhou family, she did not have a good life. Not long after she gave birth to him, he died of depression, but he could not even be buried in his ancestral grave.

Therefore, Zhou Hongyi studied hard since he was young and wanted to use this opportunity to clear his mother's name. Then, he came into contact with the martial arts by chance and advanced by leaps and bounds. He had an intense conflict with his father and almost had a fight with him.

Fortunately, the Sect Master of Daoyi Palace passed by and took him in as a disciple. It prevents the tragedy of father and son killing each other.”

"This is a legendary figure." Cui Heng sighed with emotion and nodded. "Because he's done his part, don't ignore him."

As he spoke, he took out a paper with Zhou Hongyi's name on it.

Then, with a gentle sway, the paper instantly caught fire and turned into a talisman with intricate rune inscriptions on it.

"When he comes to visit, you can give him this talisman."

Cui Heng handed the talisman over to Xu Feng'an. “This talisman can enhance his spiritual perception. It can help him understand the Dharma and Logo of Heaven and Earth faster and increase his speed of entering the God Realm.”

"Okay, my master!" Xu Feng'an took the talisman and immediately felt that her perception had been strengthened. The Dharma and Logos that he could only vaguely sense in the past instantly became very clear.

This even made him feel like he was starting to touch the threshold of the God Realm.

Of course, he also knew that this was just an illusion. He had yet to understand the cultivation technique to break through to the God Realm. Even if he had this talisman in his hands, it was useless.

However, for those who had mastered the method to break through to the God Realm, this talisman was a priceless treasure. It could be said to be a direct lift to the God Realm!

“Are you really just an Immortal Man from the Upper World?”

Xu Feng'an's heart was in chaos. The various methods Cui Heng displayed were much more powerful than he had imagined.

"By the way, this is for you." Cui Heng took out another booklet.

"This?" Xu Feng'an picked up the booklet in confusion. He only flipped through it twice before his body trembled violently. He knelt on the ground and said with great respect and gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness!"

This booklet was none other than the Divine Realm martial technique that Cui Heng had compiled according to the current martial technique of the Yuhua Sword Pavilion after learning that Xu Feng'an was still far from reaching the God Realm. It perfectly matched what Xu Feng'an had learned.

Since even Zhou Hongyi had obtained a talisman that could help his cultivation, he naturally would not treat Xu Feng'an badly.

Cui Heng would not mistreat anyone who worked hard by his side.

"Continue." Cui Heng smiled. “Learn by enterprising.”

“Thank you, Timeless!” Xu Feng'an thanked him again and left happily. After a while, Captain Chen Tong came again.

“Master, there is news from various districts that the soldiers who are supposedly from the Wang Clan from Langya are marching here. They should have come for us.” Chen Tong explained the situation briefly.

"They're finally here." Cui Heng clapped his hands and smiled. “Not in vain I waited so long. Go to the basement and bring out Wang Jinsheng and Wang Qingquan. Hang them on the flagpole of the city gate.”

"Hanging, hanging on the flagpole of the city gate tower?" Chen Tong's eyes widened upon hearing that. It kills the heart! When the people from the Wang Langya Clan arrived, they would probably faint from anger on the spot.

However, in order to do such a thing to the leading families of the world, an indescribable joy appeared in his heart. He can't wait.

In the past, he did not even dare to think of such a thing!

….

The Lu County City death row inmate dungeon.

Wang Jinsheng and Wang Qingquan were still alive. They were desperate and looked like they were going to die.

Actually, it just looks like that.

Both of them had martial cultivation and their physiques were extremely strong. Even if they were locked up in this dungeon that did not see the sun, their bodies were still very healthy.

The main reason was that the mental damage caused by the public trial almost destroyed their personalities.

If it was someone with a more unyielding temperament or someone who was completely desperate, they might have already committed suicide.

Take Sun Yanshi, for example.

Upon learning that Wang Jinsheng and Wang Qingquan had been captured, he directly banged his head against the basement wall and died.

However, neither Wang Jinsheng nor Wang Qingquan had the courage to do so.

Perhaps it was because they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts so that the Wang Family of Langya could come and save them.

In the corner of the basement where Wang Jinsheng was located, the air was filled with a pungent smell. He looked at Wang Qingquan beside him and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you think someone will come to save us?"

"Yes of course!" Wang Qingquan's mental state had already recovered a lot. Although he was still unable to use his martial technique, he was already able to communicate normally. “You and I are imprisoned here is the same as slapping the face of Langya Wang Clan. Even if it was just for the sake of face, they would definitely save us.”

"But, but... Will it work?" Wang Jinsheng asked uncertainly.

"This ..." Wang Qingquan was speechless upon hearing this. He said with a bitter expression, That should be possible. Even if Cui Heng was extremely powerful and possessed unimaginable methods, he would not dare to quarrel with our Wang Family.”

“It's true, it's true. No matter how strong he is, he will definitely not choose to fight against our Wang Family directly! Wang Jinsheng seemed to find confidence from this and actually smiled. "Since he hasn't killed us yet, he should be afraid of our Wang Family."

Although the two of them had seen Cui Heng's strange methods, they had no idea that Hui Shi had slaughtered thousands of elite soldiers.

Sun Panshi had committed suicide before telling them the situation.

Clangs!

Suddenly, a chain hit the cell door.

Wang Jinsheng immediately shivered and locked himself up. He looked outside with a face full of fear and saw some prison guards releasing chains. "Officer, are we going to the general court again?"

Wang Qingquan's face was also slightly pale. He knew very well what it was like to be judged in public. It was just a double torment against the body and mind. It's worse than death!

Although Wang Qingquan had never personally bullied the citizens of Lu County, she was a supporter of Wang Jinsheng. When Wang Jinsheng was publicly interrogated, he would also be dragged along.

“This is not a public trial anymore.” The prison guards left without saying anything more. Wang Jinsheng and Wang Qingquan looked at each other in surprise.

Could they be saved?!

"Gentlemen, long time no see." Chen Tong entered slowly and chuckled. "Follow me. You two don't need to come back here anymore.”

It makes them both happier. They were so excited that their bodies trembled.

They could finally leave this cursed place!

They were finally rescued!

“Their long-term ideological education” even makes them unconsciously not think of any other possibility and wholeheartedly think that they have been saved.

However, when Wang Jinsheng and Wang Qingquan followed Chen Tong to the city gate of Lu County, they were dumbfounded.

“A-what do you want to do ?!”

"No, no, you can't do this!"

Wang Qingquan and Wang Jinsheng exclaimed, but they had no room to fight back at the moment. They could only watch helplessly as the soldier clenched his hands back and tied them to the rope used to raise the flag.

"Raise!" Chen Tong sneered.

The soldiers immediately turned the hoist. The rope that bound Wang Qingquan and Wang Jinsheng quickly lifted and hung the two at the top of the flagpole.

Now, the two of them were hanging in midair with their hands tied.

It became the most beautiful sight on the city walls of Lu County.

"Aah!" Wang Jinsheng continued roaring. Such humiliation made him almost crazy. “Wait just! When my father comes, you will all die!”
