142: Chapter 142 A Thousand-Mile Journey! Arrival!
Daoist Wild Dog was a Loose Cultivator.
To be honest, he could not be considered wicked or evil.
After all, Cultivators who were truly wicked would have long since been marked on the Imperial Dynasty's bounty list.
Daoist Wild Dog's cultivation was not high, and his Spiritual Root was merely Low Grade.
His speed at absorbing Spiritual Qi was not even as fast as the heterodox Shen Yi.
However, during one exploration of the Sanchuan Sand Sea, he obtained a piece of demonic bone.
That demonic bone was, surprisingly, something left behind by a great demon at the Dao Foundation level...
The Sanchuan Sand Sea buried too many mysteries; that he could find this item could be considered his good fortune.
Under the evolution of the ages and the erosion of time, this demonic bone...
Had transformed into a rare treasure of heaven and earth... and it even showed signs of shifting toward some kind of immortal foundation.
For Daoist Wild Dog, this was natural wealth!
Yet, having struggled and crawled for so many years, he had never been able to comprehend the mysteries within it.
Until... he met Wu Mei, who was just a young girl back then.
His heart was moved...
It was an attraction stemming from the depths of his Soul.
He felt his demonic bone constantly boiling, and the Demonic Qi it emitted made him feel a persistent itch.
He had a feeling in his heart.
As long as he ate... as long as he ate the woman before him.
He would be able to... achieve the Dao Foundation!
Afterward, Daoist Wild Dog hovered around Wu Mei, but alas... in this world, refined young ladies, unless they were Cultivators...
Never left their homes.
Or they had bodyguards.
His cultivation was only at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining; he could not fight martial artists, was destitute, and possessed no immortal arts.
Naturally, he could not capture Wu Mei.
He just watched helplessly as Wu Mei married... and became a young woman.
And then her husband died.
He knew that Heaven would not disappoint those with determination.
The opportunity had finally arrived.
The Zhang Family's upward momentum suddenly reversed... first the Family head died suddenly, and then Zhang Qi was belittled by the officials of the Promotion Bureau.
The other three Families immediately launched an attack.
Leaving the Zhang Family besieged from all sides.
Seeing this, how could Daoist Wild Dog not know that his chance had arrived?
Thus... he immediately hit it off with the Liu Family and the Ye Family!
They murdered the Immortal Dynasty official... Magistrate Wei!
That murder was extremely perilous... In the Jing Kingdom, killing an Immortal Dynasty official would certainly result in being branded by the Immortal Dynasty's Luck.
And a County Magistrate was not a small official; they were at least a rank six or even a full rank six official.
One could imagine the cost involved!
But fortunately, the Spirit Demon Storm provided cover... coupled with the mysterious methods employed by the Liu Family.
It prevented the Luck from locking onto him for the time being.
However, this time was limited...
As soon as the Spirit Demon Storm dissipated, or the Liu Family's arrangements failed.
He would be discovered immediately.
Then he would be put on a wanted list... and hunted by the Imperial Dynasty!
Therefore, he needed to, in the shortest possible time.
Take Wu Mei away!
As long as he consumed the mysterious power within Wu Mei's body... the demonic bone would undergo a transformation!
He... would be able to forge the Dao Foundation and become a Dao Foundation Master!
Then, using this identity, he could enter the Great Black Heaven Mother Buddha Sect or some bandit stronghold.
Become an honored guest... and then it would be a new situation!
Men die for wealth, birds die for food.
It's nothing shameful!
Behind Daoist Wild Dog... a flash of urgency also appeared in the eyes of the Ye Family and Liu Family members!
The murder of Magistrate Wei was a monumental matter.
Only a few people knew about it.
But according to reports, that damned Magistrate Wei, before he died, had placed a projection stone inside the County Magistrate's golden seal!
This had become an unstable factor!
To be honest, after Magistrate Wei died, regardless of whether they had the golden seal or not.
They could act as the rulers of the entire Panshi County!
They didn't need this item at all...
But that projection stone was evidence of their crime!
This thing was a bomb that could explode at any time!
It needed to be cleared away as quickly as possible!
At this moment, a Ye Family steward stepped forward and said with a grim smile.
"Senior Daoist Wild Dog... why waste words with this woman!"
"Hurry up and attack, slaughter the Zhang Family!"
"This woman will naturally go with you!"
"Do not hesitate any longer."
"Our methods are about to fail!"
Daoist Wild Dog looked at the sky, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
"Very well!"
He suddenly tore open the clothing on his chest... revealing the thin, mud-covered chest beneath.
A slit suddenly opened in his chest... Daoist Wild Dog gritted his teeth and thrust his fingers into his own chest.
He pulled out a rod!
This rod was covered in rust, and its entire body exuded a strange Demonic Qi.
Daoist Wild Dog sneered and struck the air violently!
The air suddenly shook, and then the sound of sky-piercing dog barks intertwined and rose up!
The violent Demonic Qi within the Spirit Demon Storm was actually attracted by it... condensing into sand dogs in the air!
The sand dogs had ferocious expressions as they charged toward the Zhang Family's main gate!
Seeing this... the Zhang Family members on the eaves fired arrows one after another.
One sand dog after another was shattered into yellow sand.
Only to be condensed again... it seemed they could not be completely wiped out!
Seeing this, the Ye Family and Liu Family no longer hesitated... leading the Panshi Dao Soldiers holding shields to charge toward the Zhang Family's entrance!
The land shapes the people.
On the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers, these Panshi Blood Essences merely served to enhance their defensive capabilities.
But the essence of the Dao Soldiers as heavy cavalry had not changed!
And in the hands of these people, the characteristics derived from the Panshi Blood Essences, combined with shields, turned these Dao Soldiers into shield bearers!
Their attack power was clearly not high... but their defense was maxed out!
The Zhang Family's dense rain of arrows landed on these Dao Soldiers, leaving only white marks!
Under the attack of the sand dogs... the Zhang Family's main gate suddenly disintegrated and fell apart!
The Ye Family steward said with a grim smile.
"That trash Zhang Tai... I didn't expect him to be so useless!"
"But fortunately, the momentum is overwhelming... you, Wu Mei, cannot turn the tide!"
"The First-grade Dao Soldiers your external aid hired are indeed powerful... but I do not believe that."
"With our two families totaling several hundred, plus Daoist Wild Dog's sand dogs."
"We cannot kill your hundred Rakshasa Dao Soldiers!"
"That Hu Family truly has the courage of a fox; they are so cowardly."
"They didn't even dare to come and attack with us!"
"Once we kill you Zhang Family and seize that County Magistrate's golden seal..."
"We will definitely demand an explanation from the Hu Family!"
"Who knows, in the future, there might only be two great families left in Panshi County!"
The Liu Family steward, upon hearing this, could not help but let out a sinister laugh.
"This little lady is truly exciting."
"Before Daoist Wild Dog takes her away... why don't we let our two families have some fun first?"
"Hahaha, easy, easy!"
"Zhang Family... you relied on Magistrate Wei's connections to act tyrannically in Panshi County."
"Did you ever think this day would come?"
The Zhang Family retreated steadily... although the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers suffered no casualties, they were suppressed and could not lift their heads.
This Daoist Wild Dog was truly bizarre!
The encirclement was gradually taking shape, and it felt as if a heavy stone had fallen from everyone's hearts.
Just at this moment...
The sound of footsteps echoed from within the Spirit Demon Storm!
Neat.
Powerful.
Full of Killing Intent!
