I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 314 - 143 Consort Yu: You dare touch my people?! (6K)_3

Chen Mo activated his Vision Power, bringing his view closer to clearly see the four large characters "Linyang County Government" above the gate!

"Let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we’ll make a run for it."

As a member of the Sky Scale Guard, this is the life he chose.

Since he’s encountered this situation, he can’t just ignore it; after all, there are tens of thousands of lives at stake!

Chen Mo soared into the air, darting away like a bolt of lightning.

...

Linyang County Government.

Inside the courtroom, dozens of corpses lay scattered on the ground, all clad in black uniforms, the government officers’ bodies shriveled as their Essence Blood was completely drained, dying in a most tragic state.

The County Magistrate dressed in green official robes was tied to a pillar, his face as pale as paper, his voice hoarse, "Jiang Qiyuan, you dare use the lives of thousands to refine Gu! If this is known to the court, they will surely send troops to annihilate the Gu God Sect!"

An elderly man in luxurious attire sat in a chair, his figure lean and slightly hunched, yet possessing a strong aura of authority, with the hint of a predatory glance in his eyebrows, he calmly replied:

"What does this have to do with my Gu God Sect?"

"It was clearly County Magistrate Jiao who strayed onto an evil path, using the Illusion Array to confuse the townspeople, causing them to slaughter each other, extracting their Essence Blood to cultivate demonic arts, eventually losing control and being attacked by his own Cultivation Technique..."

"Nonsense!"

Jiao Rui’s chest heaved, veins bulging on his forehead, glaring at the elder, "Do you think the court is incompetent? Such a grand affair will surely be investigated thoroughly! You won’t escape!"

The elder shook his head and said, "But everything I stated is true. You’ve practiced the Cultivation Technique for five years, you personally carved the Array, the evidence is irrefutable, is there a problem?"

Jiao Rui’s expression was extremely unpleasant, a trace of despair flickered in his eyes.

The Gu God Sect is deeply rooted in the Southern Wilderness and holds significant power in Nantu State, practically like a local emperor.

From the Prefectural Governor down to the County Magistrate, almost all are entangled with them, including Jiao Rui.

Apart from dealings of power and money, the Gu God Sect also provided him with cultivation resources, including the so-called "Devouring Essence Divine Skill" and "Spirit Gathering Array"!

They even had his men collect the townspeople’s hair and nails!

Unexpectedly, they were ruthless enough to plan this far!

For five years they had been plotting against him!

At this moment, a black robe attendant said quietly, "Grand Elder, it’s about time."

Jiang Qiyuan nodded and said, "Keep a close watch on it, there’s no room for any mistakes."

"Yes."

The attendant quickly walked out of the courtroom.

Jiang Qiyuan’s gaze was deep, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest.

He had been planning this for years, originally intending to act after the frost period, but now forced to start early, inevitably leaving some flaws.

"Yu Jie, Zhu Hui, Zhu Ming..."

"In just a few months, three protectors in the Southern District have fallen, yet we don’t even know who the enemy is."

"The Hierarch is about to emerge, as the elder of the Southern District, I cannot escape blame. Given the Hierarch’s temper, the consequences could be..."

Jiang Qiyuan exhaled a heavy breath.

Now the only solution is to quickly refine the Holy-grade Gu Worm "Yin Extremity Gu".

Fortunately, the Holy Daughter of the Moon Brilliance Sect has the Innate Extreme Yin Body, perfect for being used as a Gu Vessel.

Recently, Ji Lianxing’s attitude has grown increasingly distant; since that’s the case, he might as well squeeze the last value out of the Moon Brilliance Sect...

"Hm, the sect was destroyed, yet they still care about so-called principles; truly foolish to the extreme."

"Ji Lianxing is strong, but she’s a lone tree without support; once the Hierarch emerges, hardly a ripple will be made!"

Boom—

Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Jiang Qiyuan’s contemplation.

Looking up, he saw a figure, surrounded by lightning, crash into the front courtyard, the black robe fluttering, figure as tall and straight as a pine, a long blade in hand like jade.

"Who goes there?!"

Two black robe attendants shouted sharply.

Chen Mo’s gaze shifted past them, seeing the courtroom full of corpses, his eyes turned colder, he shouted loudly:

"Sky Scale Guard in operation, all those involved in the case surrender immediately, anyone daring to resist will be executed on the spot!"

"Sky Scale Guard?!"

The two were shocked upon hearing it.

Chen Mo waved his hand, throwing a Mystic Iron Token toward one of the attendants.

The black robe attendant instinctively raised his hand to catch it.

The next moment, a streak of lightning flashed, a figure swiftly appeared before him.

Brilliant Sword Qi erupted, tearing his body apart!

Amidst the torrential blood rain, a jet-black glow emitted a piercing howl, shooting towards the other attendant’s brow!

The man was prepared, waving his sleeves, Gu Poison Worms surged out, blocking Xuanling externally, yet the flame attached to it exploded, swallowing all the Gu Poison Worms!

Immediately, he felt a chill in his chest, looking down, he saw a long blade like jade piercing through him.

"You..."

Chen Mo’s expression was indifferent. His wrist turned as he pulled upwards, and amidst the sound of tearing flesh, he split the man in two!

Just a brief moment of three breaths, and two stewards already met their demise!

In truth, the two were not weak, both possessing solid Fifth Grade cultivation.

However, the enemies Chen Mo faced before were too strong, almost always fighting across realms, causing such ordinary Fifth Grade opponents to seem like trivial chickens and dogs in front of him.

The process was too easy, he wasn’t quite accustomed to such ease at that moment.

Chen Mo shook the Broken Jade Blade, the blade unstained by blood, and stepped into the public hall.

Jiang Qiyuan furrowed his brows, his expression heavy.

Why would the Sky Scale Guard come to such a place where even birds don’t lay their droppings?

Could it be that word accidentally leaked and the court sent people to cleanse it?

He squeezed a spell in his hand, already prepared to escape, but after gazing around for a long time, he still did not see anyone else reveal themselves.

"Did you come alone?" Jiang Qiyuan asked uncertainly.

"..."

Chen Mo remained silent, only continuing to gather his strength.

Jiang Qiyuan released his Divine Sense, confirming there were no others around, and that the arrays and Gu Puppets in the city weren’t affected, only then did half of his worry dissipate.

"Strange, if the court knew of this matter, it shouldn’t just send one person, right?"

"This man, although formidable, based on his aura, shouldn’t yet be Fourth Rank... Could he be a government officer passing by?"

"In any case, first kill him, this matter mustn’t be leaked!"

Killing intent spread through Jiang Qiyuan’s eyes.

He stepped forward, his clothes billowing, his dry and frail body swiftly becoming robust, and raised a hand to unleash two blood-colored thunderbolts!

The thunderbolts seemed to traverse space, instantly arriving before Chen Mo!

Just then, Chen Mo moved.

The True Yuan containing Daoist Charm amplified through his acupoints, continuously compressed and injected into the blade. The Broken Jade Blade traced a mysterious arc, easily tearing apart the two blood thunderbolts!

The brilliant blade glow, accumulated to its peak, hung like the Milky Way, illuminating the night sky like daylight, surging forward under the dragon-shaped phenomena!

"What is this?"

Facing the overwhelming presence capable of swallowing heavens, Jiang Qiyuan felt a chill in his heart.

Instinct told him that this strike was best not to be received head-on!

"Strange, how could a Fifth Grade Martial Artist possess such power?"

He withdrew, his figure dissolving into black mist, but his movements abruptly stalled.

Chen Mo’s eyes shone with purple and gold brilliance, veins bulging around his eyes, urging his Divine Skills to their utmost!

Although it only momentarily froze Jiang Qiyuan, it was enough for the supremely fast Sword Qi!

Boom!

The entire public hall collapsed in the aftermath of the impact!

...

In the distance, Ji Hongxiu and Ling Ningzhi hovered in the air, gazing at the scene within the county government.

"Master, do you think Mr. Chen can win?" Ling Ningzhi asked.

"Impossible." Ji Hongxiu replied casually, "The opponent is Third Rank, the gap in realms is too vast."

Below Third Rank is like the difference between clouds and mud, no matter how strong the talent, crossing two major realms is no different than an absurd fantasy.

Ling Ningzhi appeared anxious upon hearing this, "Yet you let Mr. Chen face the enemy alone? What if an accident happens?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Dragon Qi is of significant concern. If it falls into the hands of rogues, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Supporting the dragon, ascending the dragon, or taming the dragon, is but a thought away."

"Only in the face of life and death can one see a person’s true nature... How far can Chen Mo go for the innocent people of this city?"

Seeing Ling Ningzhi’s worried expression, Ji Hongxiu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t stand by and watch him die, at the critical moment, I will step in to save him..."

"Ji Hongxiu, you dare scheme against someone from the palace?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded.

Ji Hongxiu’s expression stiffened, she turned around abruptly.

A white exquisite foot stepped out from the shattered void, followed by long slender legs... Until that peerless countenance with a touch of vermillion at the corner of the eye appeared, she finally came to her senses.

"Yu, Yu Youhan?!"

Ji Hongxiu was akin to facing a formidable enemy, her palm reached into the void, red mist surged, and a golden long sword appeared out of thin air.

However, a white, elegant hand pressed on the hilt, and inch by inch pushed the not fully drawn Causality Severing Sword back!

Eyes as bluish green as cold ponds, lips slightly parted, her tone indifferent:

"Do you wish for death?"
