Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

"Ah!"

The Second Leader lay on the ground, feeling the intense pain coming from his face. Blood and tears mixed together, slowly flowing down his cheeks onto the ground.

Feeling the power far beyond the Flesh Refining Realm, the Second Leader finally understood that the other party had been deceiving him.

"Junior, quickly capture him! He has seen through our identities!"

"We'll hold him hostage..."

Just as the Second Leader was about to say the last sentence, he suddenly fell silent.

Because he saw his junior brother being stepped on the ground by the other party.

The Third Leader's head was forced into the hard ground, with a large amount of bright red blood remaining beside him.

The Second Leader's body trembled instinctively, looking at the figure in front of him with fear, and said incoherently.

"You, you, you..."

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

His junior brother, a Bone Refining Realm expert, died just like that, stepped to death by the other party.

Seeing the other party walking towards him, the Second Leader quickly begged for mercy.

"Don't kill me! If you kill me, my master will not let you go! My master is the Black Wind Fortress Master, a Blood Refining Realm expert."

"My master is in the Junling Mountains..."

The Second Leader was afraid that Lu Xuan would not believe him, so he also said the detailed location of his master in order to threaten Lu Xuan.

The next moment, the Second Leader's head exploded instantly, and red and white matter scattered all over the ground.

Lu Xuan secretly remembered the location of their master, and looked indifferently at the distant horizon, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Liang Cheng, who was on the side, was dumbfounded and couldn't calm down for a long time.

...

County Office!

Located in the back hall of the County Office, there is a heavily guarded, quiet and elegant enclosed courtyard.

That is the office of the parent official of Qingyun County, the County Magistrate.

At this time, a figure hurried to the outside of the courtyard. After confirmation by several yamen servants stationed outside the door, they were directly let in.

Because the person who came was the Chief Constable of the County Office, Chen Shi!

Chen Shi strode into the courtyard, seeming to be very familiar with this place.

He went straight to a seemingly ordinary room. The room was filled with the fragrance of books and decorated in a simple and elegant style.

However, Chen Shi didn't care about these things. His weathered face was serious, and then he looked up at a place.

There was a large wooden table placed there, with various exquisite patterns carved on it.

Various books were neatly placed on the wooden table, and in front of the wooden table, there was a middle-aged man sitting at this time.

The middle-aged man exuded a gentle and refined temperament, looking very easy-going.

And he is the most powerful person in the entire Qingyun County.

Qingyun County Magistrate! Ye Qingshan!

Chen Shi clasped his fists in both hands, and bowed respectfully to Ye Qingshan.

"Master, this subordinate has received news that County Deputy Magistrate has left seclusion yesterday."

Ye Qingshan put down the book he was reading, his face without any waves, and opened his mouth in a gentle tone: "Old Chen, speak."

"However, this County Deputy Magistrate has no movement, but has been staying at home, seemingly not caring about Huang Xuanjie's death."

After Chen Shi finished speaking, there was a trace of waves on Ye Qingshan's face, as if he was a little surprised by Chen Shi's words.

"Forget it, don't bother with him."

Ye Qingshan changed the subject and said to Chen Shi: "Old Chen, the reason for asking you to come this time is for the matter you mentioned last time."

"People from the Prefecture have come, and if there are no accidents, they will arrive in Qingyun County today. Old Chen, you will go to the city gate to meet them for this county."

The matter Ye Qingshan said was the last time he asked Chen Shi to take the county soldiers to Junling Mountains to suppress bandits.

Unexpectedly, among those bandits, there were martial arts masters who were beyond expectations, and they defeated Chen Shi.

The other party's appearance, as well as his powerful strength, made Chen Shi feel shocked, but also realized the other party's identity.

Black Wind Fortress Master! Fang Sheng!

As Chen Shi, who had been a yamen servant for most of his life, recognized the other party's identity at a glance. He was the Black Wind Fortress Master who had been wanted and rewarded by the Prefecture for many years.

Back then, the Black Wind Fortress was a household name, and the Black Wind Fortress Master Fang Sheng was even a Blood Refining Realm martial artist, with strong strength, making people daunting.

After Chen Shi learned of the other party's identity, he was greatly afraid, and immediately led the county soldiers to retreat.

Even if the other party was injured, he was not an enemy he could deal with.

Chen Shi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly opened his mouth and said: "Master, who are those who came from the Prefecture?"

The people who can be sent by the Prefecture to deal with the Black Wind Fortress Master Fang Sheng must not be ordinary people.

"No, Old Chen, you are wrong. These people were not sent by the Prefecture Lord, but the Prefecture Lord passed this matter to those people from the Great Xia Blackbird Guard."

After Chen Shi heard the names of those people Ye Qingshan said, he couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock: "Blackbird Guard!"

This Great Xia Blackbird Guard is an organization directly under the current Emperor, with high authority and power, able to execute first and report later, and in charge of the power of life and death!

Chen Shi still knew something about the prestige of the Blackbird Guard.

It is said that every Blackbird Guard is selected from martial arts geniuses from all over the world, trained with all their strength, and then sweeps away all the existences that endanger the foundation of the imperial dynasty for the current Emperor.

"That's right, the person who came this time is the Great Xia Blackbird Guard!"

"That Black Wind Fortress Master has been chased and killed by the Blackbird Guard for many years."

"It's just that, later, that Black Wind Fortress Master didn't know what means he used to escape from the hands of the Blackbird Guard, and has been missing since then."

"Now it seems that the Black Wind Fortress Master has been hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, no wonder he can survive the pursuit of the Blackbird Guard until now."

After Chen Shi learned the identity of the person from Ye Qingshan's mouth, he planned to go to the city gate to wait: "Master, since the Blackbird Guard is here, then this subordinate will go to the city gate to wait for them."

"Yes!"

Ye Qingshan had just nodded to signal Chen Shi to leave when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared outside the door and then walked in.

The person who came was a young and beautiful woman, wearing a plain white dress with many broken flower patterns dotted on it, and a waterfall of long hair.

And after this woman walked in, she directly opened her mouth and said: "Dad, Uncle Chen, I want to go too!"

"It just so happens that Sister Yanran is the leader of the Blackbird Guard who came to Qingyun County this time."

The person who came was Ye Qingshan's daughter, Ye Qingxuan, the magistrate of Qingyun County.

If Lu Xuan were here, he would be able to roughly recognize the identity of this woman.

This is the woman Lu Xuan met at the Zuixian Inn in Shili Town, who was wearing a white veil.

After seeing who it was, Chen Shi's serious face finally showed a bit of a smile.

"Oh, so it's Xiao Xuan. You've worked hard all the way back to the county seat. Why don't you rest for a few more days?

Let Uncle Chen do the waiting at the city gate."

It turned out that Ye Qingxuan was also a member of the Blackbird Guard. This time, she returned to the county seat from the Prefecture to see her father, Ye Qingshan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

But what she didn't expect was that just after returning to the county seat, she learned that the Black Wind Fortress Master Fang Sheng was hiding outside Qingyun County.

And after the Blackbird Guard in the Prefecture got the news, they also sent people to Qingyun County to arrest and kill the Black Wind Fortress Master Fang Sheng who had been on the run for many years!

The leader of the Blackbird Guard is Ye Qingxuan's superior, Yellow-level Blackbird Guard, Li Yanran!

The levels of the Blackbird Guard are divided into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Yellow, and Human!

Human-level Blackbird Guards are martial artists above the Marrow Refining Realm.

Yellow-level Blackbird Guards are martial artists above the Blood Refining Realm.

Xuan-level Blackbird Guards are martial artists above the Inner Energy Realm.

As for the later Earth-level Blackbird Guards and Heaven-level Blackbird Guards, Ye Xuan didn't know.

Anyway, Ye Qingxuan only knew that in the huge Prefecture, there was only one Xuan-level Blackbird Guard, commanding all the Blackbird Guards in the Prefecture.

As for Ye Qingxuan, she was also recommended by her father Ye Qingshan to join the Blackbird Guard last year, and she is an ordinary member of the Blackbird Guard.

Ye Qingxuan, who is less than eighteen years old, is already a martial artist with a perfect Flesh Refining Realm, and her martial arts aptitude is extraordinary.

Even in the Blackbird Guard of the Prefecture, she is a top martial arts genius.

"That's fine too, Xuan'er, then you can go to the city gate with your Uncle Chen to wait."

Seeing his daughter's determined look, Ye Qingshan had no choice but to let her go.
