144: Chapter 144 Good words are useless against a damned ghost!

This voice was light and airy, as if it carried some kind of magic!

The clouds of Evil Qi in the sky suddenly gathered.

They pressed down on the Liu Family and Ye Family, leaving them unable to move.

The densely packed, orderly Rakshasa Dao Soldiers spread out... opening up a path.

A carriage traveled through it.

The fluttering Evil Qi banners, the dense Evil Qi, and the ghostly soldiers beneath the banners all spoke volumes about the visitor's background!

The carriage slowly traveled along the main road... and stopped in front of the two families' Dao Soldiers.

It was no more than a hundred meters away from the Zhang Family!

A figure slowly stepped down from the carriage...

This figure was very young.

He was wearing an official Dharma robe.

His face was like jade, his brows and eyes handsome and gentle, his lips sharply defined, and his skin fair and translucent; his features were so exquisite that he hardly seemed like a person of the mortal world.

Seeing this, Wu Mei's heart skipped a beat.

Although she had learned of Shen Yi's existence from Zhang Gu and knew that Shen Yi's background was extraordinary... and that he was heroic in appearance.

She had not known that this Shen Yi was so handsome.

With a formidable enemy before her, she was actually somewhat distracted!

Facing this threat... the Ye Family and Liu Family looked at each other in dismay.

Their gazes turned gloomy.

"Who are you?"

It seemed like a casual question, but before the words even faded, the core members of the two families had already quietly initiated telepathic communication, rapidly exchanging calculations.

"The situation has escalated. This person's bearing is extraordinary, and his subordinates are elite Dao Soldiers; his background is definitely not simple."

"Fellow Daoist... this person clearly has an extraordinary background!"

The Ye Family steward's tone was resolute, hiding a ruthless intent!

"We cannot retreat! The Zhang Family must be eradicated today! No matter what this person's background is, we cannot give up halfway!"

"Fellow Daoist, please hold this person off for now. I will immediately activate our ancestral Formation to temporarily trap these Rakshasa Dao Soldiers!"

"Once we kill the people of the Zhang Family, seize the County Magistrate's golden seal, and use the imperial court's name to apply pressure, this person will have to leave even if he doesn't want to!!"

"Otherwise... with the means available to our two families, we certainly cannot deal with these thousand-plus First-grade Dao Soldiers!"

The Liu Family steward saw this and nodded!

"Very well!"

Shen Yi saw this; although he didn't know what these two were planning, he knew they were up to no good.

He merely smiled faintly.

"I am Shen Yi... the Town Chief of Qinghe Town!"

Upon hearing this, the Liu steward sneered and said.

"Why have you come here?"

"The Zhang Family has forged an alliance with me; they are my allies."

Shen Yi's gaze was calm as he answered indifferently, "My allies are in trouble, deep in a siege; how could I sit idly by and look on?"

Daoist Wild Dog and Wang Meng were locked in fierce combat, while on this side, there was nothing but calculation!

Shen Yi turned his gaze to the precarious Zhang Family residence not far away and nodded slightly at Wu Mei, who was tense and on guard in front of the gate.

He had arrived at just the right time.

The secret letters he had received in Qinghe Town a few days ago were two in number.

One was naturally the secret letter from the Zhang Family, and the other was from the leader of these hundred Rakshasa Dao Soldiers.

The Zhang Family's request for help was easy to explain... but the Zhang Family's letter had omitted a key factor.

That was the death of the Panshi County Magistrate.

This was a major event.

The death of a County Magistrate would lead to a vacancy in the imperial court's official position.

Coupled with the clues of infighting passed on by the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers and the danger posed by Daoist Wild Dog, he keenly sensed that there was profit to be made!

That was why he had rushed here with all his might!

He had caught them red-handed!

The two talents in Panshi County were a moderate Opportunity for Shen Yi.

This was one point.

This time, killing two birds with one stone... was the most important thing!

He was very short on money right now... very short.

And since his allies were being killed, as part of an offensive and defensive alliance, he could strike ruthlessly against the other two aristocratic families!

At that time, all the spoils could not only be kept for himself, but he also wouldn't need to worry about the imperial court coming to investigate!

What a wonderful thing this was?

Therefore... he, Shen, had come so quickly!

The Liu Family steward was happy to spout nonsense with Shen Yi and said coldly.

"Magistrate Wei of Panshi County is dead, and the Magistrate's golden seal has now fallen into the hands of the Zhang Family. We, the Ye Family and Liu Family, have sufficient reason to suspect that the Zhang Family murdered an imperial official in order to hide the golden seal!"

"This is an internal affair of Panshi County and a private feud between aristocratic families. We ask that Lord Shen not overstep his bounds and intervene, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"

Shen Yi saw this and watched with interest as the Ye Family's Cultivator retainer messed around.

He smiled faintly.

"But what if... I insist on intervening?"

After he finished speaking... a roar was heard.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Daoist Wild Dog, who had been at a disadvantage after being engaged in close combat, suddenly have his aura surge and mutate.

His flesh and skin writhed frantically, and dense, grey-black coarse hair rapidly grew and covered his entire body. His figure expanded segment by segment, his posture twisted and alienated, completely shedding his human form and transforming crazily toward a demonic state.

Seeing this, Wang Meng grinned.

"A wild dog is a wild dog... the monster he swallowed was a dog, and the demonic body he transformed into is also a dog... truly, you have an affinity with dogs!"

"It's just that... I don't eat dog meat!"

The rolling Evil Qi within the Evil Qi banners poured out in full force!

The Hundred Battles Without Fear combat technique was fiercely unleashed. Although Wang Meng was covered in wounds, he fought more bravely as the battle went on!

The Xuanhua Axe slashed down overhead... the Second-Rank armor withstood one brutal attack after another!

The most brutal Physical Body combat began right then!

The demonized Daoist Wild Dog had lost his reason, his ferocity monstrous!

Knowing he had no retreat, he could only go down this path to the end!

While fighting Wang Meng to the death, he roared in a rage: "What are you still waiting for! Hurry up and act!"

He had already used all his trump cards; if these two families failed.

He would have no choice but to retreat in defeat!

"These Second-Rank Dao Soldiers have abundant Evil Qi... and there are Puppets guarding the flanks; in the long run, I am no match for them!"

The time had come!

Seeing this, the Ye Family steward's hands flashed with spiritual light, and the Formation was finally completed!

A flash of brilliance suddenly covered Shen Yi and his subordinate Dao Soldiers!

Greyish-hued Formation patterns instantly spread across the heavens and earth, instantly enveloping Shen Yi and the entire area where the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers were arrayed.

A ruthless glint flashed in the Ye Family steward's eyes. No longer entangled in the standoff, he held a sharp blade, led his Panshi Dao Soldiers, turned, and charged fiercely toward the Zhang Family residence gate!

In the critical moment, Wu Mei had no time to think. She immediately ordered in a sharp voice, mobilizing all remaining Dao Soldiers in the residence, committing them all to desperately block the charging Dao Soldiers and martial artist Cultivators of the Ye and Liu Families!

A hundred Rakshasa Dao Soldiers acted as the vanguard!

The battlefield became white-hot once again.

Before the Formation, the Ye Family steward looked at the Zhang Family members desperately trying to block them, wearing a ferocious sneer, his tone arrogant and certain:

"This Formation can trap the enemy for the time it takes an incense stick to burn! Within that time, no one can break the situation!"

"The time of an incense stick... is enough!"

"Madam, you had better surrender!"

Just at this moment... that annoying, languid, and light voice continued to ring out!

"Didn't I already advise you all... not to engage in futile efforts?"

"It is truly the case that good advice... cannot stop a damned ghost!"

"Gentlemen!"

"Kill them all without mercy!"
