Chapter 30: Chapter 30: A Hundred-Year-Old Noble Family? Just Servants!
Translator: 549690339
Five miles away from the City Gate Battlefield.
At this moment, Liang Sheng sees the unexpected deaths of the Liang and Wu Families’ Ancestors and cannot help but be dumbfounded, because he never imagined such a dramatic outcome.
These were the Postnatal Nine Realms ancestors of the Liang and Wu Families, the unshakable foundation of the two families, and they died so cleanly and neatly now.
Moreover, judging from the furious roar of the Liang Family Ancestor before his death, it seems that both the Liang and Wu Families were deceived by the authorities.
Otherwise, with the temperaments of these two ancestors, how could they not escape when facing defeat and be killed by Yang Laifa?
Later, when the Governor’s Dragon Suppression Guard appeared, Liang Sheng could only shake his head with a bitter smile, making up his mind not to provoke the officials without absolute strength.
Heart too dark!
He now understands the meaning of the Liang Family Ancestor’s words to Xia Zhiqiu to send a signal before, so this was the back-up plan agreed upon by the County Government Office and them.
The Dragon Suppression Guard, the foremost elite army in the Governor’s Mansion, is only allowed to join if they have reached the Postnatal “Eighth” Level or above, making them the elite of the elite.
No wonder the Liang and Wu Families cooperated so well with the County Government Office before, as they had the Dragon Suppression Guard as their backup, how could they not have confidence?
Rumor has it that a regular Dragon Suppression Guard army of fifty soldiers can take on High-level martial arts, and there are far more than fifty of them at the City Gate Battlefield at this moment.
If they form a battle formation, given their numbers at this moment, even the notable experts at the nine realms might perish here.
As Liang Sheng can think of these things, so can Yang Laifa, whose joy of killing the Liang and Wu Families’ ancestors earlier has long since vanished.
Although he seemed to effortlessly kill the two Postnatal Ninth Layer experts, he had also suffered internal injuries, losing 70% of his battle strength.
“Retreat!”
Yang Laifa instantly judged that the situation was unfavorable for them and ordered a retreat directly, causing the No-Life Sect Followers to immediately disperse and flee in all directions.
But with the meticulous planning of the authorities, how could they just watch them escape?
Immediately afterwards, the No-Life Sect Followers did not run far before numerous city guards emerged from all directions, blocking them in place.
At this moment, Liang Ping, Wu Chang, and the third person were enraged, but just then, Zheng Wanchun suddenly whispered: “You two patriarchs, you wouldn’t want to go against our County Government Office, would you?”
The three were taken aback, and then they saw that they were surrounded by the Dragon Suppression Guard in the middle. For a short while, they did not know how to speak.
At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu had already come down from the city tower and directly walked in front of the three.
“Gentlemen, 1 apologize, I was a little shaky earlier due to the tense situation, and that’s why I was slow, otherwise the two ancestors wouldn’t have died.
But at the end of the day, this all happened because the Lifeless Sect committed wrongs. If they hadn’t attacked my Jinzhou City, there wouldn’t have been such a tragedy, would there?”
Shaky hands? Slow speed?
Probably not even a three-year-old would believe it!
But at this moment, the Dragon Suppression Guard was present, and they believed that as long as their next words were wrong, they would face their endless attacks.
Wu Chang and Liang Ping smiled helplessly, and although Liang Ying had red eyes, he was the first to speak up at this time.
“County Lord, after capturing the No-Life Sect followers, I would like to take action personally to avenge our ancestor.” fr(e)ewebn(o)vel
Xia Zhiqiu immediately nodded: “Of course, this can be done, Dragon Suppression Guards, listen to the command, immediately form a formation to strangle the Lifeless Sect leaders.”
“Yes!”
The next moment, all the Dragon Suppression Guards formed battle formations in groups of three and cooperated with the external city guards to encircle the No-Life Sect followers unyieldingly.
Yang Laifa knew it was bad, but facing such a situation, there was only one way to make a life-and-death struggle.
Earlier, our Holy Sect had the upper hand, but how could the situation have shifted so dramatically in such a short while?
At this moment, the No-Life Sect’s core members who were in the Martial Arts Superior State were gathered around Yang Laifa, watching the Dragon Suppression Guard press in closer and closer, unconsciously clenching their fists.
At this moment, the Dragon Suppression Guard displayed no flaws, and after forming their army, the strength of each person was connected, gradually devouring the No-Life Sect followers.
Yang Laifa tried to break through the encirclement but found that he could barely withstand the attack of several hundred Dragon Suppression Guards.
Dragon Suppression Guard, true to their name, Dayan’s dogs proved to be skilled; with their attack this time, countless Lifeless Sect followers laid motionless on the ground.
Seeing the battle going so smoothly, Zheng Wanchun couldn’t control his excitement and waved his hand, “County Lord, the mission is accomplished.”
Hearing this, the corners of Xia Zhiqiu’s mouth slightly curved upwards, but he didn’t utter a word. On the other side, Wu Chang and Liang Ping communicated with their eyes.
With the Dragon Suppression Guard gone, leaving only Zheng Wanchun, now seemed the best opportunity to exact their revenge. They wondered whether they should seize Xia Zhiqiu.
While they hesitated, Liang Ying seemed to have thought of something and suddenly went in front of Liang Ping, “County Lord, please avenge my ancestor; from then on, the Liang Family will follow your lead.”
Taken aback, Liang Ping hadn’t yet reacted when Xia Zhiqiu unexpectedly smiled, “Liang Family’s Genius, your reputation is well-deserved; you’ve reached the Post-Natal ‘Eighth’ Level – why hide it?”
Liang Ying’s face changed, and before Liang Ping and Wu Chang could react, Xia Zhiqiu’s aura suddenly erupted, and he dashed toward Yang Laifa.
Unable to help themselves, Liang Ping and Wu Chang slumped to the ground, their eyes filled with shock and fear as they looked at Xia Zhiqiu, with only relief remaining in their hearts.
Postnatal Nine Realms!
County Lord Xia Zhiqiu, unexpectedly, was in the Postnatal Nine-Realm!
Only now did they understand why Liang Ying had acted as such. At this moment, Zheng Wanchun, who stood nearby, suddenly used his internal energy to speak loudly, and the entire battlefield could hear him clearly.
“The Lifeless Sect has harmed our Jinzhou people; the county government office’s Dianshi, secretary, and other officials have fallen in their line of duty. Today, the Liang and Wu Family ancestors have died heroically while fighting for Jinzhou City.
The County Lord won’t let the meritorious people’s blood be shed in vain; from now on, Wu Chang will take over as County Government Office’s Dianshi, Liang Ping will be the secretary, and Liang Ying will be the county’s chief.
Gentlemen, your chance to distinguish yourselves is right now. Follow the County Lord with me to eliminate the rebels – kill!”
The first to react from the astonishment of having his realm exposed earlier was Liang Ying, “My subordinate will always follow the County Lord – Kill the treacherous Lifeless Sect!”
With bitter expressions, Liang Ping and Wu Chang could only wonder why they were in this predicament; from now on, the Liang and Wu Families would be reduced to mere slaves of the county government office – how did it come to this?
However, a glimmer of hope emerged in Liang Ping’s heart. With Liang Ying having broken through to the Postnatal Eighth Level, it seemed that their family’s prodigy still stood a chance!
Not far away, Xia Zhiqiu stared intently at the cornered Yang Laifa, with only one thought in his mind – it was time to end this farce.
Not far away.
Liang Sheng’s heart couldn’t help pounding; Xia Zhiqiu was actually a Postnatal Ninth Layer Expert. The situation in Jinzhou City these past few months played out in his mind, and he couldn’t help but marvel at how things had turned out.
So, the ultimate fisherman turned out to be Xia Zhiqiu; the Liang and Wu Families and the Lifeless Sect were like clams fighting while the fisherman reaped the benefits.
At this moment, he no longer needed to see how the final outcome would unfold, knowing the Lifeless Sect was doomed. From this day on, the Jinzhou City county government office would reign supreme.
It even occurred to him that perhaps the reason Xia Zhiqiu had left the Liang and Wu Families intact was because Jinzhou City needed their help in handling situations the city government couldn’t tackle alone, allowing them to bear the burden.
Moreover, beneath the County Lord as county officials were Liang Ping as Dianshi, Liang Ying as secretary, and Wu Chang, who could all vie for power against each other.
This game of mutual restraint was played disgustingly well, leaving the Liang and Wu Families no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.
From that day on, Jinzhou City would fall under the jurisdiction of the county government office; the towering families that had stood in the city for centuries would be reduced to mere slaves.
On the surface, however, the Liang Family could still prosper and grow, and Liang Sheng found solace in the fact that he could continue to live out his days in mediocrity.
With that thought, Liang Sheng lost interest in the battlefield outcome. A cunning strategist like Xia Zhiqiu would hardly leave any loose ends for the Lifeless Sect to escape with their lives.
Thereafter, Liang Sheng sneaked back to his mansion, completely undetected due to the concealment of his attribute panel.
As he left, he glanced towards the left direction with a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
In that direction, Abbot Xuanji of the Discipline Hall in Jinshan Temple was pale and overwhelmed with relief, thankful for his cautiousness in not taking action alongside the Lifeless Sect; otherwise, he would have faced an early death.
He had to advise the Abbot to be all the more cautious in their future operations.. Xia Zhiqiu, the Jinzhou City County Master, was utterly terrifying!
