Chapter 306: Chapter 266: Three Words, Repelling Dozens of Heavenly Passes

Golden light circled back like lightning, a pale-white shadow about a foot tall, its face filled with terror, exploded into a mass of crimson flames, transforming into various shapes, trying to break free from the golden light, but that golden light was not only immovable, instead, it tightened even more.

Until, a hand grasped its Divine Soul. The Gang Leader of Qingsha Gang met those pale gold eyes, grim, mysterious, indifferent, filled with a bone-chilling cold that could penetrate one’s Divine Soul.

The man, who still wanted to struggle, upon meeting these eyes, was instantly corroded by the bloodthirsty aura akin to mountains of corpses and seas of blood,

"Spare me, spare me..."

His soul trembled violently, his pupils the size of pinheads were fiercely pierced by that gaze, as if a nail was ruthlessly driven into his eyes, his pupils dilated further and further, the excruciating pain stabbing his soul, making him scream for mercy.

Then,

"Bang"

Suddenly, the pupils within its Divine Soul exploded, the tearing pain in his soul made him cry out in agony.

That wasn’t the end, at this moment, a flame of golden fire suddenly rose on that hand, wrapping around his Divine Soul.

"Sizzle"

The golden fire scorched his Divine Soul, emitting a piercing sizzling sound.

The agony of the burning Divine Soul was like being pricked by ten thousand needles, pain overwhelming him like a tidal wave, his cries of intense pain rang through the sky.

His Divine Soul twisted, like a reptile scorched by flames, continuously contorting grotesquely, accompanied by those harrowing screams, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Chen Yuan stared at the man, his voice was flat, his tone indifferent.

"Who gave you the courage?"

But underneath those seemingly calm words, all who heard them felt their spirits leap, each word like a heavy hammer, striking their chests.

This Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, once he begins to inquire, matters cannot easily be let go.

The Gang Leader of Qingsha Gang, his Divine Soul in agony and continuously screaming in pain, faced with these words, his face struggling, his screams hoarse and intermittent, indecipherable to anyone.

"It seems, you have your people here!"

Chen Yuan’s gaze grew dim, he looked up to the sky.

He did not need an answer.

In the next second, Chen Yuan’s eyes blazed, golden light beaming forth, followed by transforming into a speck of gold paint within his eyes, two streaks of golden light shot out, soaring into the upper air to the left and right.

In the blink of an eye, the two streaks of golden light spread seven or eight miles across the void, followed by a surge of golden light, two sections of golden light screens swiftly rose up and rapidly enclosed above and below, a huge golden light screen stretched between heaven and earth, swiftly shrouding the entire area.

Including the silhouettes within!

As the golden light spread, Capture Form, Break Illusion, throughout the world, "Plop, plop, plop," a series of muffled sounds arose.

Silhouettes concealing their presence were forced to reveal themselves, faces suddenly changing, unable to even maintain their hidden forms.

Instantly, in this expanse of void, more than forty Heavenly Pass presences were revealed!

This scene immediately stirred up a commotion, figures flinched, expressions altered, some transformed into afterimages, breaking through the air with a piercing screech, only to see within the golden light screen, the sound of air ripping loudly, chains of golden light flung out, striking like lightning, air breaking with a thunderous roar, as figures were violently bounced back.

Those who tried to make a move were met with an indifferent voice.

"One"

Some felt their hearts skip a beat, the brilliance beneath their feet slowed down.

"Two"

Some faces changed, a sense of urgent danger surging within, hastily halting their motion.

"S....."

Before the word "Three" could be spoken,

Those who were left with any intent to move felt a hair-raising killing intent, some as if rooted to the spot by a paralyzing spell, hurriedly halted, others with eyes filled with suppressed rage but still clenched their teeth, their dispersing afterimages rapidly recondensed, and they came to a stop.

Just three words, and several tens of Heavenly Pass Experts were brought to a standstill.

Below, the common people and ordinary martial artists, upon seeing this scene, their pupils dilated, gasping in a breath of cold air!

This is the might of the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!

In the void, some exchanged glances, while others had the shimmer of calculation in their pupils, seemingly harboring ghosts in their hearts.

Soon, an elderly man in a Confucian robe with a flowing beard, who seemed to have some prestige, was pushed forward by several others and began to speak.

"Colonel of the Ninth Mountain, you...what is this?"

"We too have just received the news that your lordship might return to the city today, so we came to pay our respects. The battle at Weiyuan Pass that day, your might towering like the mountains, won you countless admirers. But this...doesn’t seem quite right, does it?"

In the courtyard, in front of the main house, Chen Yuan was holding the Divine Soul of the Qingsha Gang Leader with one hand, listening to his screams, glanced at the man, and then his eyes slightly lifted, full of wildness and indifference.

"I am enforcing the law; just cooperate obediently!"

"Someone come!"

At Chen Yuan’s command,

the sound of breaking air echoed, and four figures shot out from the not-too-distant void, swiftly landing in the courtyard in a few moves.

These four figures revealed themselves as four Red Armor Generals with different statures before Chen Yuan, who were Garrison Generals guarding the four directions of Jingguan City, each with the cultivation of the Heavenly Pass Tao Seed.

Usually, these four sat guarding the four directions, but now, all of them had appeared together here.

Seeing these four Garrison Generals appear together, many people in the sky smelled a whiff of trouble.

Just now, the Ninth Mountain Army returned to the city, and the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel wasn’t present; now showing up because someone dares to cross the Ninth Mountain Army and commits evil acts merits punishment.

But now, this Colonel has set up a massive Prohibition, stopping all these people, and called the Four Directions Guard over—something seems amiss no matter how you look at it.

Someone’s face changed, and they quickly bowed their head, eyes flashing wildly, while slowly retreating, their aura subtly stirring.

"Junior officer greets the Colonel!"

The four Garrison Generals saluted Chen Yuan with deep respect.

In reality, the rank of Colonel was only a half-grade higher than that of Garrison General. Normally there wouldn’t be such a big gap between the two, but the four already knew that this Colonel of the Ninth Mountain would soon take command in Jingguan City, and, unless something unexpected happened, this Colonel would soon become the Demon Suppression Envoy!

The foremost man under a General!

That was the prestige he had fought for!

Chen Yuan looked at the four Garrison Generals before him and said indifferently, "Check if there are any inside, go and find those people!"

Before leaving Chuanzhong Pass, Chen Yuan had a nighttime discussion with Commander Pei, who said that not being able to calm down the current state of Jingguan City wasn’t aimless talk but a fast-growing issue. After Pei Yanhu left, some couldn’t help but jump out, creating a foul atmosphere in Jingguan City.

To think that he had underestimated these fools, who dared to insult the Ninth Mountain.

Should be killed!

"Yes!"

The expressions of the four Garrison Generals immediately lit up.

A surge of anger in their chests, unvented, turned bitter. Recently, the city had been thrown into chaos; all kinds of people surfaced, egregious incidents occurred frequently, constantly upsetting the Garrison Troops in the city. Yet these people not only weren’t afraid, but they also openly resisted capture, even injuring their soldiers, and despite the Generals’ efforts, they couldn’t touch them.

The city’s order was disintegrating rapidly!

The four shouted and soared up, whooshing through the air, leaping to the four corners of the golden formation.

Their eyes shone brightly as they scanned the skies and the ground.

Soon, the Southern City Garrison General spotted a young nobleman in the crowd, and his eyes blazed with recognition.

This man was dressed in finery, with thin lips and two sword-bearing, proud-eyed maids by his side.

It was him!

Yesterday in Southern City, a peddler accidentally bumped into this man’s sedan chair and was beheaded on the spot by his maids, executed with extreme ruthlessness.

The incident drew the attention of the Southern City Garrison, which deployed Troops to apprehend him. However, the young man and his party not only didn’t flee but even injured their soldiers and crippled their Martial Arts before casually drifting away.

This matter greatly undermined the authority of the Southern City Garrison, infuriating the brotherhood under their command. And despite frantic searches based on sketches last night, he had found no trace.

But now, even if the other party was lowering their head, they had found him!

"It’s him!"
