60: Chapter 60 Huo Liangyu: You didn't even know you were keeping a thief in your house?
What is the concept of a Third-grade Family?
In the Jing Dynasty, the standards for families are even stricter than those for Immortal Sects and official rankings.
A Third-grade Family is all-encompassing... It must have an official in the Immortal Dynasty holding a real-power position of at least the seventh rank.
Either civil or military is fine.
Within an Immortal Sect, a small sect requires a true disciple or core disciple.
Or an Inner Sect Disciple of a large Immortal Sect or even a Holy Land.
And they must be a Dao Foundation Cultivator.
Furthermore, they need private soldiers... The number of these First-grade Dao Soldiers must reach at least three thousand and be continuously supplied to be considered a Third-grade Family!
In the Sanchuan Sand Sea, most of the territories occupied by Third-grade Families are precious oases.
Although Fengxiang Town is an exception... the number of First-grade Dao Soldiers in their hands is no less than his!
Are they both stuck in the same quagmire?
What good solution could he possibly have?
Seeing Shen Yi frown, Huo Ying secretly thought it was bad and quickly spoke up.
"Lord... My Huo Family is not being besieged, but because the Black Fiend Bandits have colluded with monsters to activate a true Formation, and Fengxiang Town cannot launch an offensive!"
"This has led to a passive situation."
"This situation requires Dao Soldiers to use Evil Qi to break through from the outside and slaughter those Black Fiend Bandits."
"Then the Formation can be split open!"
"Lord... My Huo Family keeps its word, there is absolutely no falsehood."
Shen Yi frowned slightly... probability of intelligence began to emerge in his eyelids!
[You chose to support Fengxiang Town! Through intelligence, you learned that Fengxiang Town has been targeted by the Black Fiend Bandits.]
[But you clearly know, a bunch of idiotic bandits, what ability do they have to pull off a damn Formation?]
[It is clearly a three-party battle, eyeing something unknown in Fengxiang Town... That is why the three parties took the risk of offending the Huo Family and struck during the Spirit Demon Storm!]
[But you also know that what Huo Ying says before you is true... This Huo Family is considered a person of status, and the seventh-rank Immortal Dynasty official in the Family is an Imperial Censor in the court, the kind that specializes in criticizing the government and the Emperor!]
[They care a lot about reputation... You are not afraid of them going back on their word!]
[Climbing up to the powerful and wealthy, isn't that your dream all along?]
[Just unique!]
[Return rate: 167%]
Shen Yi took a deep breath... and nodded.
This matter could be considered killing two birds with one stone... The Black Fiend Bandits were already his hunting targets, and now he could gain goodwill and friendship from the Huo Family.
No matter how you calculate it, it's not a loss.
Of course, he might also be targeted by Cultivators from the Evil Sect.
But he didn't care anymore!
Shen Yi nodded and said indifferently.
"Zhou Xian..."
Zhou Xian quickly cupped his hands.
"Mobilize the troops!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Huo Ying couldn't help but relax.
A trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes.
Along the way, he had been to many towns, many of which were controlled by descendants of aristocratic families.
But without exception, the requests for help ended in failure.
Some people were unable to even take care of themselves.
Some people didn't want to expend their strength.
Some aristocratic descendants were gloating, wishing you were dead!
After all, there are only so many seats for aristocratic families; if you go up, he has to come down.
The resources given to aristocratic families by the imperial court are based on their grade.
The higher the grade of the Family, the more gifts they receive... and the more Geniuses appear.
Over time, the prototype of a powerful clan was formed.
This is also the reason why the Jing Dynasty is glorious for ten thousand miles, but is as precarious as an egg.
And the young man before him was exceptionally decisive.
However, before he could think carefully, he saw muffled sounds like an earthquake emerging from an alleyway!
The Dao Soldiers led by Huo Ying, some were not yet in the ranks, with only a little Evil Qi on them.
Looking at the alleyway, they felt as if a ferocious Vicious Beast was about to break free from its cage!
At this moment, a behemoth, which could be called a wall of bronze and iron, nearly three or four meters tall, slowly walked out of the alley.
It was covered in a set of deep red iron blood armor.
Holding a purple-gold hammer, the Evil Qi all over its body had not been retracted into its body due to the training of the yanbing platform.
Like a humanoid Vicious Beast.
Walking at the very front!
And the moment Huo Ying saw Wang Meng.
He couldn't help but grip the long blade in his hand, his throat rolling dryly... cold sweat broke out on his back instantly.
"This guy!!!"
Afterwards... he saw the Rakshasa Guards, over two meters tall, stepping out of the alley with orderly and strict steps.
Although their height was not as good as Wang Meng's, for Huo Ying and the others, they were unreachable!
Seeing this, Huo Ying roared in his heart.
"This... this kind of aura."
"I'm afraid they are the best among the First-grade Dao Soldiers!"
"And the guy at the front is already the limit of a First-grade Dao Soldier!"
"Who exactly is this Lord Shen?"
"Wait... there is another Peak First-grade Dao Soldier..."
"A tattoo on the forehead, actually a death row prisoner?"
"Such powerful Killing Intent!"
Shen Yi was quite satisfied with the sight, and it was no exception.
The yanbing platform can use Evil Qi to generate various Secret Realms, directly entering the Divine Soul of the Dao Soldiers to temper their will!
Although it is fake, it has enough value!
And the foundation of the Rakshasa Guards was not bad to begin with, and the deterrence of the heavy armored infantry was maxed out.
With such ferocity, isn't it normal?
Two hundred Dao Soldiers stood together at the city gate, suddenly looking up at Shen Yi.
Their gazes were fixed on Huo Ying beside Shen Yi, staring at this stranger.
Huo Ying subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but was slowly pressed down by Shen Yi.
Wisps of Spiritual Qi struck... Huo Ying was full of astonishment.
"Lord Shen... you..."
He didn't expect that this Lord Shen was actually an Immortal Seed?
An Immortal Dao Cultivator?
Shen Yi chuckled.
"Don't be afraid."
Huo Ying showed a wry smile, knowing he had lost his composure.
"It is Huo Ying who was rude."
"No matter..."
Shen Yi looked down, without too much nonsense, and waved his hand slightly.
"Going this time... slaughter the Black Fiend Bandits, and achieve merit on Black Mountain."
"Cut down mountains and destroy temples! Attack cities and capture strongholds!"
"Cut down mountains and destroy temples! Attack cities and capture strongholds!"
Getting off the city wall and onto his horse, Shen Yi ordered someone to bring a horse and said to Huo Ying.
"Get on the horse... let's go together."
Huo Ying gritted his teeth.
"I can keep up, Lord."
Shen Yi's eyes were strange.
"Very well..."
The city gate opened with a bang, and two hundred Dao Soldiers, wearing armor and fully armed, drove into the yellow sand.
Huo Ying and the others followed, and it took a long time before they realized something was wrong.
"Lord... Lord Shen, please give me a horse."
"Didn't you say you didn't want one?"
"You didn't say that many brothers practiced battle techniques!"
"Hahahaha!"
The sand and wind drifted away, the dust and smoke faded... the vast gale rolled the Killing Intent and landed slowly on a city wall!
This city wall is not magnificent, although it is not as good as the city wall of Qinghe Town, it is not much different!
A Formation was sealed at the city gate, and in the bronze ring and iron chain gate, a Phoenix with wings spread and about to fly was carved.
That is... the totem of the Huo Family.
On the city wall, Huo Liangyu, wearing tight-fitting armor, with a heroic appearance, a high ponytail tied up, and a beautiful face, gritted her teeth and said coldly to the servants around her.
"You didn't even know there were thieves in the house?"
