188: What? You ugly bastard are Ning Caichen?

The two constables detained the scholar, intending to take him away to claim the reward money, when they spotted Chu Mo and his two companions.

Their clothes were made of fine fabric, and their demeanor was extraordinary, but most importantly, there was a beautiful woman by their side...

To them, this was an unexpected windfall.

However, there were quite a few people trailing behind the three, clearly also eyeing them, so acting rashly...

Would not benefit them.

They might even clash with these desperate individuals, but with such a beauty before them, they were unwilling to let her go.

"The County Magistrate's rules state that outside thirty zhang of the yamen, we have no jurisdiction, but within these thirty zhang, it's all under our control." The older constable stared at Bai Lu, involuntarily licking his dry lips.

"This little beauty is truly exquisite; her skin is so fair it looks as if water could be squeezed from it. You and I, brothers, are in for a treat tonight." The slightly younger constable's lewd eyes were fixed on Bai Lu, nodding vigorously in agreement with his companion's words.

Although the women in the brothels could be slept with for money, compared to this peerless beauty before them, they were nothing more than common harlots.

When had such a gem ever appeared in Guo Bei County? Even if one did, it wouldn't be their turn, but today, opportunity had arrived.

After they had their fill and grew tired of her, they could give her to the County Magistrate, and perhaps even get a promotion...

"You two constables..." The scholar, who was detained by the two, was somewhat panicked, as the constables' words had also reached his ears.

His heart thumped; these constables were not good people.

He looked behind him again and saw two acquaintances. Disregarding his own safety, he immediately shouted, "Girl, hurry and leave! This county yamen has problems; these two constables are not good people!"

Before the scholar could finish shouting, he was punched in the stomach.

The scholar, already frail, almost fainted from the punch.

"If you ruin my good fortune, you'll be skinned alive and have your tendons pulled!"

The two constables kicked the scholar viciously again, then, ignoring whether the scholar would run, they charged directly towards Chu Mo and his two companions, shouting, "You three, stand there and don't move! Routine inspection!"

The thugs who had followed Chu Mo and his two companions all the way saw that the yamen officials wanted to snatch these three fat targets from them, and immediately became indignant, drawing their swords and stepping forward.

"You two listen carefully! We found these three. If you want to snatch them, then see if your necks are as hard as my blade!"

A group of thugs surrounded Chu Mo and his two companions, pointing their blades at the two constables.

Seeing such a display, the constables instantly froze, but they looked at Bai Lu in the crowd, and then said, somewhat unwillingly, "This is within thirty zhang of the yamen. The County Magistrate said that this area is under our control..."

However, before they could finish their sentence, they were interrupted by the group of thugs.

"Bah! Just because we haven't attacked your county yamen, you really think we're afraid of you? If you want to contend with us today, then see if you can see tomorrow's sun."

"Your County Magistrate wouldn't dare say such words in front of us. Who do you think you are? These three are ours, the Black Tiger Gang's! If you want them, tell your County Magistrate to come to the Black Tiger Gang to get them!"

"Why are they your Black Tiger Gang's? My Azure Dragon Gang will be the first to disagree!"

"Is my Fire Wolf Gang easy to bully?"

"You all want them, do you? Then taste if my Guo Bei Three Oddities' blades are sharp!"

"Who do you think you are? They belong to us. If you don't want to die, leave! Otherwise, your lives are forfeit!"

"......"

After confronting the county yamen, these thugs started arguing over the ownership of the three, and then began drawing their swords and hacking at each other.

In front of the county yamen, it instantly became a large-scale brawl, with blood splattering, severed limbs, and continuous screams...

The scene before them was like a brutal small battlefield, surrounded by people shouting to kill, yet Chu Mo and his two companions had not a speck of blood on them.

"This Guo Bei County is quite chaotic! It won't be easy to integrate this group of desperadoes..." Li Tian Ce watched everything unfolding before him, feeling a sense of emotion.

Bai Lu cheered, "It's okay! I'm here. If worst comes to worst, I'll reveal my true form to scare them and force them to comply."

Li Tian Ce: "......"

Chu Mo: "......"

This line of thinking is simply invincible!

In the future, I can't let this guy participate in decision-making, otherwise, it's easy to cause even bigger jokes.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo glanced around, his finger tracing through the Void Realm, and Talismans floated out, sticking to the foreheads of these people.

The thugs who had just been drawing swords at each other, one by one, seemed to have been subjected to a petrification spell, standing frozen in place. Some fell to the ground, some raised their blades to strike, some had wounds gushing blood...

Without exception, all their actions ceased.

"Form a line!" Chu Mo issued the command.

These thugs, one by one, lined up neatly. Even some who had their legs cut off leaned on their blades to line up.

Their obedience was evident.

Seeing this scene, Li Tian Ce's eyes lit up.

"Chu Ge, what kind of Talisman is this? Can you give me a million, no, ten million?"

Chu Mo glared at him, annoyed, "Do you think my Puppet Talismans are cabbages! Ten million? Why don't you say a hundred million?!"

Li Tian Ce chuckled, "I just thought I could take down Guo Bei County more easily by relying on the Puppet Talismans!"

Bai Lu flicked her tongue, looking at the two constables in front who had long been scared silly, "They don't seem to have been stuck with Puppet Talismans. How about you give me two, and I'll go stick them?"

"No need, I left those two!"

Chu Mo walked up to the two constables. The two scared constables finally came to their senses, their knees buckling as they knelt down, continuously kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Demon... Immortal, Immortal! I have an eighty-year-old daughter above and an eight-year-old mother below who are crying for food. Please spare me! As long as you spare me, I'll do anything!"

Li Tian Ce had a puzzled expression.

What is he talking about?

Eighty-year-old daughter? Eight-year-old mother?

You're the Immortal!

Just as Chu Mo was about to speak, he saw the scholar, who had been detained and kicked over by the two constables earlier, walking towards them.

Of course, his current appearance was not at all like a scholar's; he looked more like a beggar.

Years of hunger had made the scholar look very thin, his face somewhat sallow, clearly malnourished.

However, this was the norm in this world.

To survive, one had to be ruthless.

Clearly, the scholar was not a ruthless person, otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed here but would have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Gentlemen, we meet again." The scholar first greeted Li Tian Ce and Bai Lu, and then bowed to Chu Mo in thanks, "This humble scholar, Ning Caichen, thanks the Immortal for saving his life."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted past.

Bai Lu appeared before Ning Caichen without warning, scrutinizing him up and down, looking very curious.

"Hmm? Ning Caichen?"

"You're Ning Caichen!"

"But this isn't right! Is Ning Caichen really this ugly?"
