Chapter 345: Chapter 293: Over a Hundred Heavenly Passes Gather at the Heavenly Patrol Hall!_2
With this, a life is lost!
And the final scene points to the Eastern City Ping’an Square, inside a mud courtyard, where the Qian Family Master comes to meet with this person, and the scene abruptly ends there!
This is also the origin of this very scene!
However, this place is now empty, with no one in sight.
But Chen Yuan has come to know through Marriage Dream.
This person is watching him, had the Qian Family inquire about him and the Ninth Mountain Army. At that time, he was seriously injured by the Great Martial Vault Demon at Weiyuan Pass and disappeared for several days.
Secondly, the news that he has a Luck Spirit Root, it’s very likely disseminated by this person to the Qian Family Master.
It seems that this person holds hostility towards him, and it’s not a small amount.
The Human Demon hasn’t been found, and now there’s an additional venomous snake lurking in the shadows. Although Chen Yuan has just won a great battle, his heart is brimming with killing intent.
He glanced at his kneeling subordinates and ordered,
"Retreat!"
With that, Chen Yuan’s feet flickered, and he soared into the sky.
"Yes!"
Following that, a whistle sounded.
The Soldier Armor in the several alleys hurriedly moved about with their horses, turning their heads and subsequently kicking up billowing snow dust, thundering out of the alleys.
At this time, high above, Chen Yuan walked on air, weaving through the snowflakes dancing between heaven and earth, shooting towards the direction of the Government Administrative Office in the city.
The world has turned into a Snow Country, but faintly visible, above Jingguan City’s skies in the distance, billows of black smoke rise slowly.
As he gets closer to Yunding Mountain, the originally serene world starts to rapidly become noisy and chaotic.
The neighs of horses, the sound of iron hooves, and human shouts interweave with each other.
Looking downward,
One can see that on the main roads surrounding Yunding Mountain, there are several black lines converging towards Yunding Mountain.
Those are columns of Troops and streams of carriages!
Returning from all directions!
Behind these Troops, escorted are black dots the size of ants, as well as caravans stretching miles long, laden with large boxes.
Those ant-sized black dots are figures bound with ropes!
In the first half of the night, after the battle of Five Treasures Mountain concluded, the core members of the Qian family, except those managing the family business outside, nearly all died on the mountain.
But Chen Yuan naturally wouldn’t pursue only the Qian family. The Six Families involved in the conspiracy naturally also had to be settled.
Apart from the Shaking Mountain Sect, Taoist Li from Fulong Temple pleaded for his friend, so Chen Yuan showed some mercy. The rest of the Five Families, in the latter half of the night, the Ninth Mountain Soldiers split and took action, along with the Heavenly Pass, to settle the score with each family.
However, the battle of Five Treasures Mountain was so loud that the remaining Remnants of these families naturally got the news and fled ahead of time. But the city gates had already been sealed by the Four Directions Guard, so in the latter half of the night, a game of cat and mouse ensued.
The killing intent lasted all night!
Thus, the flames of war spread throughout the city, causing today at dawn, every household, with doors and windows shut tight, the commoners did not dare to show their faces!
Chen Yuan’s gaze then fell upon the columns of vehicle teams behind the Troops, and his somber face finally relaxed a bit.
Immediately thereafter, his feet flickered, and he disappeared into the foggy white treelines of Yunding Mountain, where the snowy landscape held a unique charm.
After a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan flew above Cloud Peak and saw a bizarre scene.
One could see, a large group of people kneeling on the plaza in front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall!
Moreover, these people, almost all Heavenly Pass Experts, dressed in fine clothes, kneeling on the plaza, covered with a heavy layer of snow.
There were twenty or thirty individuals!
Chen Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes, then transformed into a beam of light, whooshing through the snow and wind, landing in front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall!
At this time, two Record Officers, Gao Yu and Fan Chou, were leading the troops to guard the hall’s front.
The two saw a blur before their eyes, and then saw Chen Yuan appear, immediately their expressions lit up with joy, stepping forward and bowing deeply.
"Greetings to the superior!"
Behind them, the Troops knelt down in unison.
And with this commotion, the figures kneeling below immediately lifted their faces - filled with tension, worry, or a hint of panic - and hurriedly shouted in unison.
"Greetings to the Nine Colonels!"
"Greetings...."
Chen Yuan’s brows twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but turn his head to ask the two Record Officers stationed at the Government Administrative Office,
"What’s going on?"
Fan Chou and Gao Yu wore a hint of a smile on their faces as they clasped their hands and reported:
"Sir, most of these people are administrators from smaller families affiliated with the six families such as Qian, Wang, Zhao, and others."
"Late last night, these fellows came to the Government Administrative Office one after another, initially startling us two, thinking they had the audacity of the heavens."
"But it turns out, these people came to confess their guilt and plead for mercy."
"Some claimed they came to submit themselves for punishment."
"Others bound themselves before coming, saying they were blind and had been deceived by the villains of the Six Families, and wanted to ask for your punishment, Sir."
"To prove their innocence, some even betrayed the direct lineage members of the Six Families who were hiding in their homes, and brought them to us."
"Some are even afraid of being implicated and have turned their backs on kinship, bringing their clan members who were intermarried with the Six Families to the Government Administrative Office on their own initiative."
"..."
Gao Yu and Fan Chou took turns explaining these people’s intentions.
Looking at the trembling administrators from the small families on the scene, "adopting various strategies," the two of them gradually began to struggle to contain their chuckles.
These guys were truly using every trick in the book to survive: playing the sympathy card, sacrificing relatives for justice, cutting ties with the Six Families, turning themselves in. To be honest, they’ve really opened our eyes with their actions.
However, both of them knew well that it was all because of the awe-inspiring battle the previous night by the Sir here that had these people thoroughly terrified!
"Sir’s divine might last night was supreme, and you must have scared these people witless!"
"Firstly, my congratulations to you, Sir. It seems you are now free to handle your own affairs!"
Gao Yu, with the air of a scholar-general, had a smile playing on his lips, and he bowed in congratulations.
The Sir had told them that to deal with these families, all these people should be sent to the front lines to support Commander Pei and the others.
Now, the goal is just a step away!
Presumably, after last night’s battle, those families in Jingguan City will be much more compliant.
Chen Yuan said nothing but just nodded, then looked at the figures kneeling on the square and couldn’t help but laugh.
Indeed, there were those carrying thorns on their backs!
Even more bizarre, some had bound themselves up.
The corner of Chen Yuan’s eyes lifted; previously, he had forced these people to kneel, but now, they were kneeling before him voluntarily.
"Since they’ve come to confess their guilt, let’s leave it at that."
"Since they’ve come of their own accord, it saves me the trouble of inviting them later."
Chen Yuan said so, then slightly tilted his face toward the back, instructing Gao Yu and the others,
"Please accommodate them in another courtyard for the night, reassure them that I have always been lenient towards those who abandon darkness for light."
"In addition, you two can compile a list of invitations. Tomorrow I will issue the Recruitment Order, and all forces with a Heavenly Pass Expert must attend!"
"Firstly target Jingguan City, then notify the Colonels in various prefectures along the way to pass this Recruitment Order down, I reckon it will take a while for the news here to spread."
Having said that, he lifted his head and looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, roaming among the mountains, his tone lingering,
"Be prepared, for this snowfall marks the full onset of the upheaval in Shu. Let’s first send these troubles away!"
.......
The next day, Jingguan City, which had been quiet for a day yesterday, became bustling again.
At noon, from all over Jingguan City, luxurious carriages drove towards Yunding Mountain from all directions.
These carriages did not dare to fly, stopping only at the foot of the mountain, then from them burst forth streams of light.
One by one, Heavenly Pass auras surged to Cloud Peak, then landed on the square in front of Heavenly Patrol Hall.
Everyone glanced at each other, then unanimously lined up in two rows, following the steps, entering the awe-inspiring Heavenly Patrol Hall with its solemn soldier armor.
At this moment, over a hundred Heavenly Pass experts from Jingguan City gathered in the Heavenly Patrol Hall.
At this time, on the main seat of the hall, a tall figure dressed in bright silver armor and a black cape sat in a majestic pose.
All the Heavenly Pass experts could clearly feel the pressure from the main seat, and did not dare to act out of line, whether you were from the Qi Family or the Li Family, or from any of the Four Sects and Eight Families, all uniformly bowed.
"Greetings to the Nine Colonels!"
The sound echoed in the Heavenly Patrol Hall, deafening.
