The sky had completely darkened, as if it were a sealed, suffocating do.
Even the ground was shrouded in complete darkness.
The city, under curfew, felt even more like a cage that trapped people within its confines.
However, there was one place that was an exception.
This place shone like a luminous pearl in the darkness, sparkling and exceptionally bright.
Such a bright place should have been quite eye-catching.
But today’s Qingyang City was unusually quiet, and no one peeked towards that bright place.
In so houses, the sound of snoring had already started.
From others ca the sound of won’s sobbing.
That place was, after all, where the county detained the most cruel and evil individuals.
It was said that today, an especially vicious Great Evil Man had been imprisoned there.
The entire county governnt was on high alert.
After the news spread, the people inside the city beca even more anxious, turning off their lights early and coaxing their children to sleep.
In the courtyard outside the prison,
a group of Governnt Officials had drunk strong tea and were still relatively alert.
Besides the initial vigilance and tension, since an hour had passed since Hua Zhezhi was locked up in the prison, everyone had relaxed a little.
After all, they were just old slickers getting by in the county city.
On normal days, catching a petty thief or a bandit was considered a big deal, and there was no need for such a major setup like today.
After a startle and excitent earlier on, they now relaxed, returning to their usual languid state.
Only the Chief Catcher, Liang Weiping, dared not relax and remained vigilant at all tis, sitting in the best position in the courtyard with bright, alert eyes, watching and listening in all directions.
Suddenly, he heard a slight noise and imdiately tensed up, warily looking towards the front of the courtyard.
The others also noticed and turned their eyes in the sa direction.
Outside the courtyard gate, the dark brown road andered through the long alley.
Two figures appeared at the end of the alley, indistinct in the moonless mist, even lacking shadows.
"Who is it!?"
Liang Weiping sprang to his feet and bellowed, "This is a critical area of the county governnt, who dares to cause trouble here at night? Leave imdiately!"
The two figures said nothing, advancing like ghosts toward the entrance of the courtyard, and quickly arrived at the gates.
Everyone’s expressions changed to one of dread when they saw the two figures clearly.
Because the two figures’ faces were also very dreadful.
Their skin peeled back to form scars, red and horrifying.
Their noses and mouths as if they’d been stitched together with needles, their eyes cold and numb, they looked just like monsters.
These were two won.
Jiang Dali, who had just arrived at the county governnt, also noticed these two strange won.
He had intended to barge directly into the prison and rescue Hua Zhezhi.
However, before he could make his move, he encountered these two bizarre won.
"Two strange won suddenly appear at the county governnt of Qingyang City, and at first glance, they seem quite powerful. Could they be here for Hua Zhezhi?
And from what sect or faction do they hail? I’ve never seen them before."
Jiang Dali pondered secretly from his hiding spot.
By this ti, a fight had already broken out inside the county governnt.
As Liang Weiping bellowed and questioned the two strange won, they had already taken action.
Their Martial Arts were as bizarre as their appearances.
Their attack patterns were strange, and their onslaught was reckless and rciless.
The county governnt’s officials, who on ordinary days never faced such vicious experts from the Martial World, soon suffered heavy casualties.
Only Liang Weisheng managed to hold on for a while, but it was clear he was also on the brink of defeat and death.
However, just then, the main door of the prison cell at the back of the courtyard burst open.
A roar echoed from within, and in a flash, a figure brimming with coercion sprang into action, clashing with the two strange won.
This figure turned out to be the County Magistrate Yun Chun, whose power had reached the Outer Qi Realm.
With Magistrate Yun Chun joining the fight, the situation was barely stabilized.
At this mont, Jiang Dali also received a prompt from his interface.
"You have accidentally witnessed a vendetta unfold in the Martial World, triggering the temporary mission ’Aid Qingyang County Governnt’.
Mission Content: Flower-breaking Young Master Hua Zhezhi, in his days wandering the Martial World, flirted among the daughters of reputable families, not only plucking their beauty but also stealing their hearts. Among them, two won, filled with resentnt, chose to join the Heavenly Demon Sect subsidiary, the Annihilation Dao, and beca Demon Disciples, diligently learning Devil Skills, all for the day they could find Hua Zhezhi and have their revenge.
Mission Requirents: Help the Qingyang County Governnt repel or kill the two Demon Disciples, stabilize the situation until the experts of the Six Gates arrive.
Mission Rewards: Holy Dynasty reputation 50, reputation in the Martial World 200, favorability with Six Gates 50, Cultivation Points 500, Potential Points 500.
(Note: Your identity is sensitive, and you may also be attacked when the experts from the Six Gates arrive.)"
"So it’s the Heavenly Demon Sect subsidiary, the Annihilation Dao... Hua Zhezhi’s romantic debts are truly vicious,"
Jiang Dali’s expression shifted slightly.
In his view, Hua Zhezhi was sowhat akin to the super playboys of his past world.
No different from Duan Zhengchun—it’s no wonder the won he romanced and betrayed hated him so much, turning love into hatred.
But the background of these two won was no ordinary matter.
Speaking of the most mysterious and terrifying forces in the Martial World, one naturally couldn’t overlook the Heavenly Demon Sect, which had existed in the Martial World for many years.
The so-called eternal conflict between the righteous and the demonic path, in essence, revolved around the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Once, the prodigious genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Cang Qu—the Heavenly Demon—due to his misanthropy, arrogance, and extremism, couldn’t fit in with the orthodoxy.
Therefore, he searched through all the world’s scriptures, taking the Strange Skills and secrets, sifting the chaff from the wheat, and compiling what was consistent with his Dao into ten volus of ’Heavenly Demon Strategy,’ which marked the beginning of the Devil Sect.
