Chapter 109: Chapter 92: A Thousand Steps with One Breath! The Might of the Qi Refining Realm! _2

The glint of the spear arrived at his side in the blink of an eye!

Lin Yan immediately used the blade to block.

Boom!

The residual power of the spear’s light dissipated!

The blade vibrated non-stop, feeling a tremendous force colliding, shaking his whole body in severe pain.

Even the Jiaolin Horse was affected, its steps becoming chaotic for an instant, nearly toppling over.

But in a flash, it steadied itself and charged towards the city gate once more.

"Haven’t you closed the city gate yet, to capture the murderer?"

Yuan Tongye’s voice, fierce to the extreme, suddenly shouted.

"The city gate is damaged, we’ve done our best."

Meng Lu raised his hand and yelled, "Close the city gate!"

Four soldiers roared, pushing the massive city gate, which was gradually closing.

But the speed at which the gate was closing was still slower than that silver streak of light.

Carrying Lin Yan on its back, the Jiaolin Horse raced through the closing gap of the city gate!

The whirlwind it brought up caused the already-near-closed gate to shut completely!

At the same time, the barrier above the gate suddenly dropped down, firmly securing the city gate.

Just a breath away from catching up, Yuan Tongye was stopped within the city gate, his face turning extremely grim.

"Dammit!"

Yuan Tongye, in a rage, was about to sweep his long spear.

"Kill! Murder them, and I’ll be the witness!"

At the other end of the street, a man with a dark face popped his head out, blinked his eyes, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Killing the Colonel of the City Defense Army in the street, it’s pretty much the same crime as that guy killing the prefect."

"Even with your status as the Great Commander of the Left City Guard Army and your Cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, Mr. Lu will treat you with the same regard. You and that fellow just now can only be judged equally guilty!"

"Well, go on and kill if you dare, or you are my grandson!"

Lv Tang spat out disdainfully, and proudly said, "Keep your eyes on me, what’s the matter? If you have the guts, strike me, why don’t you?"

"Do you recognize him?"

Yuan Tongye’s face darkened, and then he said, "He’s been hit by my ’Qi,’ he can’t escape."

As his voice fell, he lifted his spear to pry open the barrier, looked at Meng Lu, and commanded, "Open the city gate!"

Then he turned to look at the two Deputy Generals who were following him and said, "Inform the inner city, mobilize the Left City Guard Army, follow me out of the city to capture the criminal!"

"Check the register of names entering and leaving through the southern city gate immediately, to find clues to this person."

"In addition, this person has changed his appearance and is adept at deception. His appearance earlier might not be his true one. Ask the City Guard Mansion to issue an order to check the people in the city today, and find his true identity!"

"Also, go to the Qifeng Prefecture City, to the head of the City Guard Mansion, and ask for his order!"

Following these orders, Lv Tang’s brows slightly furrowed.

Is someone in the Qi Refining Realm truly so perceptive?

To see through Lin Yan’s disguise at a glance and even leave a trace of Qi Mechanism behind?

Now looking at this Great Commander Yuan issuing commands decisively and directly to the point, Lv Tang’s heart grew even heavier.

This man was not only powerful but also had a keen sense and was adept at deployment, even his brain seemed to function better than his own.

"Wang Yuan received the Green Phoenix Seal, a matter of great importance, Qifeng Prefecture City is sure to take it seriously."

Yuan Tongye remained composed, slowly saying, "Based on my suggestion, I request all six major cities within Qifeng Prefecture to assist in the blockade, under my guidance, to inspect every Pure Land thoroughly!"

"Though the world is vast, there are but a few places outside of the cities where one can hide. He cannot escape!"

As his voice ended, he extended his hand and slapped it onto Meng Lu’s face, knocking him down.

"Take these few down and interrogate them thoroughly!"

As his words fell, Yuan Tongye glanced at Lv Tang with a complex expression filled with suspicion.

At that moment, Lv Tang too was full of doubt.

He felt that there was something odd about the Great Commander of the Left City Guard Army.

But even with Lv Tang’s outstanding intelligence, he really couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was off.

After a long while, Lv Tang finally began to understand a little.

"When he was chasing after Lin Yan just now, did he seem to not be trying his hardest?"

Lv Tang couldn’t figure out the reason, and thought to himself, "Human nature is really damn complicated!"

——

Yang Yuan Fang.

A few people were discussing the division pertaining to the Refining Essence Realm.

Although it was only about the refinement of a few "titles", once adopted, it would certainly be recorded in the annals of history.

In life, the pursuit of fame and profit drives people to madness; the possibility of having their names passed down for thousands of generations was indeed exciting.

However, at this moment, someone was shouting loudly outside the courtyard.

"Wang Yuan, the prefecture’s officer, has been assassinated and killed!"

"What?"

In the midst of their discussions, everyone was taken aback.

The next moment, they all stood up, their expressions drastically changing.

Especially the head of the Qifeng Prefecture City, who took a half-step forward and asked with furrowed brows, "What happened?"

"Out of nowhere, a strapping man cut down Wang Yuan and took off with the treasure. Despite the pursuit by the Great Commander of the Left City Guard Army, he managed to escape the city."

"This Great Commander Yuan is in the Qi Refining Realm; he couldn’t catch up with him either?" the official in white asked with furrowed brows.

"It just so happened that a Jiao Linma from Qingshan Fang turned into a spirit, as fast as the wind, and carried him in the escape," the person said in a low voice.

"..."

The atmosphere inevitably fell silent.

After a long while, the white-clad official slowly turned to look at Mr. Lu.

He was not a fool, and his mind was already clear about many things.

For instance, Mr. Lu chose Yang Yuan Fang for discussing the future division of the Refining Essence Realm details, instead of staying in Linjiang Square where he lived.

Then there was the timing of the meeting, and Mr. Lu’s late arrival, coinciding with the commendation ceremony for Wang Yuan.

"Why did Mr. Lu do this?"

The white-clad official couldn’t help but sigh.

Mr. Lu laughed and without concealing his intentions, calmly said, "Old me never expected that Wang Yuan would truly die."

He had never anticipated that Lin Yan could slay Wang Yuan.

He just felt that he couldn’t suppress the anger in Lin Yan’s heart.

It was only a slight hindrance to the various parties, considered as leaving a way out for Lin Yan.
