Chapter 473: Chapter 311: The Great General’s Mansion!_2

However, within that twisted and damaged head, a pair of eyes brimmed with even more fierceness.

"The authority of a City Captain at the external northern courthouse is insufficient; the crime of killing a City Captain in the street may not suffice to take your life!"

"Attacking the inner city, killing the current Deputy City Governor is tantamount to betraying the Human Clan!"

"Wu Chang, I exchange my life for yours!"

"No matter how outstanding you are, no one can save you! Hahaha!!!"

The sound of mad laughter ceased abruptly as Lin Yan completely crushed the head.

Above the northern gate defense, many soldiers of the city defense army coughed up blood profusely, severely injured.

In particular, soldiers positioned at critical spots in the military formation were struck dead on the spot at this moment!

Lin Yan killed Deputy City Governor Shi!

But what he destroyed was the great formation at the northern gate!

The ones affected were all the soldiers of the northern gate city defense!

From then on, the northern gate was breached!

No one stopped them!

——

By the time various armies from the city arrived, they saw atop the northern gate, many soldiers, heavily wounded and dead.

And in front of the city gate, a pool of decayed blood and flesh, too gruesome to bear.

The armor outside the blood and flesh had been completely stripped off, its whereabouts unknown!

"Where is the murderer?" the City Guard Mansion Right Route Great General shouted.

"He has broken into the inner city!" the Great Commander at the northern gate said, pale-faced and breathing hard.

"We came from the inner city, why didn’t we see the murderer?" the City Guard Mansion Vanguard Great General said, his expression grave.

"He killed Deputy City Governor Shi, destroyed the military formation, unstoppable, indeed he has headed towards the inner city." As the words of the Great Commander at the northern gate fell, his Qi-Blood fluctuated, and he spat out blood, collapsing weakly.

"Do we know the identity of the murderer?" shouted the present City Captain who ruled all military forces in Qifeng Prefecture from a distance.

"Wu Chang!" a Deputy Commander said, trembling, "Six Zhang Golden Body, unstoppable. Deputy City Governor Shi shouted Wu Chang’s name before he died!"

"What?"

The many powerhouses who hurried from the inner city were all shocked and astonished.

Wu Chang, who defeated Xu Dingye of the Little Divine Sect?

They had all heard his name, the foremost prodigy of Qifeng Prefecture today.

Those with more insightful information also knew of his distinguished military accomplishments, even surpassing those expected at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm!

However, the one slain here was Deputy City Governor Shi!

Using the Deputy Governor’s Token, one could mobilize the city defense army’s formation, wielding the power of Refining God!

Using the Shi Family’s supreme treasure, even those in the Refining God Realm could hardly break it directly, only capable of injuring his flesh through the armor!

Could it be that Wu Chang has entered the Refining God Realm?

"Impossible, how old is he?" the City Captain said gravely, "Even if he had been cultivating from the womb, until today, it wouldn’t be possible to attain such a state!"

Everyone glanced at one another, none daring to believe it.

Even if Wu Chang were more outstanding than the Li Shen Sect, how could he possibly, at his age, kill someone comparable to one in the Refining God Realm?

More importantly, from the onset of the disturbance here, until now, less than half a quarter of an hour had passed!

The various military forces had come to support, with strict military discipline and swift marching!

But the murderer had already vanished without a trace!

Within half a quarter of an hour!

No, far less than half a quarter of an hour!

To kill a person comparable to someone in the Refining God Realm?

Even a pinnacle figure of the Refining God Realm would probably be unable to do so!

Unless it was someone who had already created an Inner Realm Divine Domain!

Unless it was the legendary figure among men, a Martial Saint!

"Search!"

Following the order from the City Captain,

suddenly two groups of cavalry emerged in the city.

One was from the Wutong Temple’s guard army.

The other from the elite of the Observatory.

And the City Captain’s expression darkened.

Nominally, he commanded all the military forces of the city, but the only exceptions were the Observatory and Wutong Temple, which were not under his jurisdiction.

"We perceived disturbances here and came to assist!" the young-faced, yet white-haired cavalry commander from the Observatory said gravely, "What exactly happened?"

"Stop stalling!"

The City Captain retorted, "Your Observatory’s subordinates, dared to murder the current Deputy City Governor?"

"What do you mean by that?"

The white-haired young man was hugely shocked and exclaimed, "The Commander has yet to return to Prefecture City, and the elders are either guarding Taixuan Divine Mountain or cultivating in the Holy Land. Now within Prefecture City, where would the Observatory have such characters?"

"Get out of my way!"

The City Captain shouted.

"You insult the Observatory and provide no explanation. That’s unacceptable."

The white-haired young man’s expression darkened as he said, "I can’t defeat the City Captain, but if you insist on attacking the Observatory, you’ll have to step over my dead body!"

"Why must it come to this?"

The leader of the Temple guard army spoke out, "With a criminal causing trouble, we should be united in our enmity to apprehend him, not fighting amongst ourselves. City Captain, if you could explain the situation, we could join forces and capture the criminal together!"

"Are you determined to hinder me here?"

The City Captain’s expression was icy, his voice harsh.

He was the commander of the military, but he was no fool.

The next moment, he drew his sword and faced off.

"Make way!"

Just at that moment, a voice came from behind. It was one of the Deputy Commanders of the Observatory, who said firmly, "Regardless of who the criminal is, we must assist the City Captain in apprehending him! As for what the City Captain said earlier, once we capture the criminal, the truth will naturally come to light!"

At that moment, even the City Captain was momentarily stunned.

Such an understanding and non-obstructive approach? Capture the criminal first?

Could it be that this was a personal vendetta and actually unrelated to the Observatory of Prefecture City?

After all, since Wu Chang had entered the city, he appeared to have had no contact with the Observatory!

Meanwhile, the white-haired young man glanced at the Deputy Commander at that moment.

The Deputy Commander nodded slightly.

The white-haired young man averted his gaze, understanding the implication.

They walked away.

No need to persist in blocking.

—

At that moment, inside the inner city.

Lin Yan, using the Transformation Technique, was hiding beside a shop by the road.

A signboard stood by the door of the shop.

He seemed to have merged into that signboard, and nobody could detect any trace of him.

He quietly watched various cavalry rush past him in haste.

After a while, he saw the signboard that read "Shi Family Meat Pies" "fall" off from the original signboard.

He transformed in an instant and changed into the attire of a night patrol officer, becoming an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

While the Observatory’s cavalry were at a standoff with the City Captain at the north gate, he had already quickly made his way towards the residence of the Great General of Li Shen Sect.

"My lord, we’re at a bit of a loss this time. To kill that Deputy City Governor Shi, we used up quite a lot of Evil Qi," the Little White Ape said helplessly, "But killing this guy didn’t recover much Evil Qi, not even enough to compensate for the expense."

"My lord, I am here to kill, not to do business," Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Shi old ghost had a grudge against me. Being able to kill him and eliminate future trouble is worth some cost. Besides, we’ve earned quite a bit this time..."

He looked at the iron block in his hand, somewhat amazed at the mystery of this object.

This iron block could transform into armor, and even though he used his Six Zhang Golden Body and the Five Mountains Dragon Capture along with the Night Glowing Saber, he couldn’t chop through it.

This object’s Qi Mechanism wasn’t ancient; it likely wasn’t one of the Old God’s Magic Artifacts.

But it was definitely one of the best Artifact Refinings created by the Human Clan.

Soon, Lin Yan pocketed it and hastened his pace.

All the elite troops had been drawn to the north gate by him.

Now that the inner city was relatively vacant, for Lin Yan, who possessed the Transformation Technique, it was a clear path straight to the Great General’s mansion.

This was the residence of Li Shen Sect!

—

Within the mansion.

A middle-aged man sat cross-legged.

In front of him was a painting.

The painting depicted a golden lotus.

He quietly watched the lotus, his expression gradually becoming complex.

And after a moment, he laughed lightly, looked out the window, and said, "Your talent is said to far surpass that of my mentor."

"My mentor acted openly and honorably."

"Not like you, who sneaks around in the shadows."

"Yet this time, perhaps it’s understandable, but next time, unless you come through the front door and send a visiting card, I won’t meet with you."

As he spoke, he slowly rose and said, "I am Wen Chen, a disciple of Li Shen Sect, fortunate to have been granted a town object in a Blessed Land, and gained the power of the Refining God Realm... You must defeat me to learn the location of the ’Creation Technique’!"

Before his voice had faded, a slash of blade light came through the window!
