Chapter 159: Chapter 149: Degenerate! (Request for monthly ticket)

Jiannan Road Government Administrative Office.

The highest command, the Demon Suppression General, oversees one road and thirty-six prefectures.

Under him, there is one Demon Suppression Envoy, three Deputy Commanders, the Twelve Mountain Clearing Mountain Army, and the Sky Patrol Department Colonels of the thirty-six prefectures.

Each prefecture under the command also has a variable number of Mountain Patrol Military Officers and the troops of the Ten Divisions, all guarding the government forces of the Pass.

At the moment, when this news was released, it was shocking.

The Overseers Demon Suppression Envoy, the second-in-command of the road, perishing at Youmen Pass, is akin to an earthquake. Most crucially, innumerable fierce and ferocious demons from the Ten Thousand Mountains are entering through the Pass, surely a catastrophe for all living beings, how will there be peaceful days in the future?

The common folk were immediately stirred up, causing an uproar throughout the city.

Soon, inside the Heroic Pass, countless commoners flooded into the Southern City. Streets, alleys, tea houses, and taverns were filled with people, their gazes congregating and falling on the black behemoth-like, grimly besieged Inner City South Gate.

At this moment, troops were being arrayed in formation, the clashing of iron armor produced a piercing metallic sound followed by voices shouting, warhorses neighing longly, and torrents of steel "Drat drat drat" surged out of the pass, chased by flags of various colors fluttering in the wind.

Clearly, it was not just one unit of troops moving out!

Soon after, at the Inner City’s South Gate, four figures rode out of the city; as they reached outside the city gate, with a "Shh" sound, they reined their horses to a stop.

Three of them turned their horses around to bow towards the man leading.

"Colonel Wei, given the urgency, the Taoist Office has called upon us; we must part here. From now on, the safety behind Tianxiong Pass depends on you!"

Atop his white horse, Chen Yuan’s expression was solemn as he bowed his farewell.

Behind him, both Changshan and Wu Sheng also supported themselves on their saddles, "Farewell!"

Opposite them, Colonel Wei, with a worried face, returned the bow and sighed.

"Parting now, who knows what the future holds; I, Wei, feel the same. Take care, everyone."

"Lord Chen, until we meet again."

"Until we meet again!"

Having said that, Chen Yuan and the others exchanged imperceptible glances, nodded at one another, and their eyes seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Following that, the three wasted no further words, reined their horses around, the horses neighed long and proudly kicked up their hooves.

"Thud thud thud"

The sound of horseshoes. The three immediately spurred their horses, the sound of hooves as rapid as raindrops, forming three long shadows pulled by the wind, leading their troops towards Shu outside the border, rushing away.

At this sight, suddenly, voices erupted around the inside and outside of the Southern City.

"That executioner has finally left!"

Some breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted from their hearts.

Others were filled with worry.

"This Colonel from the Ninth Mountain had just suppressed the rebellion of the Three Families and established a formidable reputation. We had just started to enjoy a few days of peace, and now with his departure, coupled with the sudden dire news, those extinguished ashes will surely reignite. The local Pass Colonel might even face a purge. This city is about to plunge into chaos, perhaps even the entire Jiannan Road; preparations must be made early.."

Indeed, there were those who glanced at the figure in green clothes on the white horse leaving through the pass, then looked towards the local Colonel at the Inner City South Gate showing a worried face, revealing a schadenfreude smile.

Heavenly Fragrance Building, in a lavishly decorated private room, with chaotic music to the ears and hearty laughter.

"Haha, this evil star has left, my friends, today is indeed a day of great joy, let’s raise a toast to celebrate!"

"That’s right, these past few days, suppressed by this man, I couldn’t think of tea, didn’t want food, couldn’t sleep, always waking from dreams in fright, then touching my head to see if it’s still there, damn it, it was truly terrifying."

"Haha, indeed, you all can now keep the heads on your shoulders, thinking about it truly pains my heart, my thousand-year-old Ganoderma, given away for nothing, grandma’s, wouldn’t it have been great if this news had come earlier?"

"Hmph, now there is only one Colonel Wei left at Tianxiong Pass, hehe, I reckon there’ll be a good show to watch soon. If everyone is willing to do me a favor, I can set up a betting pool, you can wager on how long it will take before someone troubles Colonel Wei?"

"I’ll bet 500 taels, no more than three days."

"One thousand taels, I bet no more than two days."

"..."

In that room, those who had appeared in the Inner City the day before, bringing gifts to plead with Chen Yuan for mercy, stood by the window watching the troops marching out from the border, raising their glasses and laughing heartily, enjoying the spectacle so much they even started a betting pool.

And those linked to the rebellion of the Three Families!

It was they who came running to plead for mercy after seeing the heads of hundreds from the Three Families fall, respectful and tearful!

Now, with the bad news coming from the south, seeing Chen Yuan hastily leading troops out of the border, they raise their glasses in celebration, delighting in the misfortune of others!

These people, potential betrayers, are insufficient in success but more than sufficient in failure, thoroughly corrupt at heart.

At this moment, as these people reveled in Schadenfreude, in the room next door, a voluptuous figure stood by the wall.

Above her seemed to be some kind of prohibition, the voices from next door came through clearly.

A pair of aquamarine eyes rippled, like spring water stirred by the wind!

At this time, behind the voluptuous woman stood a blonde big man, listening to the evil laughter coming from next door, a thought appeared between his brows:

"Miss, that Colonel humiliated you so yesterday. Listening to these people, it seems they fear the world may not be chaotic enough, and even want to trouble the local Colonel, shall we..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, only to see the voluptuous woman’s brows furrowing, her face turning frosty, her voice taking on a cold edge.

"Bator!"

"You’ve let anger cloud your judgment, and that disappoints me."

"That Colonel, despite being cunning, overbearing, and tyrannical, is for local peace, just differing in interest and perspective from us," the woman said, her aquamarine eyes looking towards the wall ignited slightly, revealing the scene inside the wall on a ripple.

Inside the room, although clothed in finery, their mannerisms nauseated the woman; her eyes sharpened as she said, "These people, who are citizens of the Bashu area, hear the news of their Demon Suppression Envoy falling in battle against demons and take it lightly, using it as a jest for their drinking, what a tragic and despicable scene."

As she spoke, the woman’s voice became increasingly heavy, then she turned, staring at her subordinate, the blonde big man,

"Are you really considering joining these scoundrels, Bator? Have you forgotten what we went through?"

Clearly, the former princess of the fallen nation of Loulan was stirred by these memories.

Disgusting betrayers, she hated these people the most...

The blonde big man’s expression changed, he quickly knelt on one knee, earnestly saying:

"I’m sorry, Miss. Bator is willing to be punished."

"I won’t punish you, just want you to be aware. You’re the strongest warrior in the tribe, you should have the heart of a warrior, even if defeated, so what? You should be able to defeat those who once defeated you fair and square, not develop a sinister heart and become like those people. If you do, I definitely will not forgive you."

"Yes!" The big man behind her nodded vigorously like a chick.

After An Ge finished speaking, her gaze turned back to the scene in the neighboring room, her aquamarine eyes filled with loathing and indifference,

"From now on, do not let these families in. Heavenly Fragrance Building will not do business with them."

"Moreover, from my brief contact with that Colonel, he is domineering and stern. If he leaves, he definitely won’t leave such a mess behind, so I say, today these people, these powers, will encounter trouble. We at Heavenly Fragrance Building absolutely cannot touch these fellows now."

After speaking, she instructed sharply, her aquamarine eyes flashing with a piercing light.

"Bator, you go, see these people out nicely!"

"Yes!"

Bator quickly left to carry out the task.
