Chapter 331: Chapter 64: Town Dragon Monument! Dragon and Tiger Demon Subducing Ruler_1
…
Golden Sand Beach was originally a famous gold panning site in the vicinity. With the decline of the gold panning industry, the Chaotic Stone Beach here had been abandoned for quite some time.
It was surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one, making it a perfect location for a workshop once the terrain was leveled.
In the dim night, a cement workshop, half-built, laid flat on Chaotic Stone Beach, appearing like a monstrous beast.
On the high ground.
There were few outsiders, just five.
Two were dressed in black night-walking outfits with their faces covered, obviously not the kind to casually reveal their identities.
The other three were emitting a creepy and strange aura without restraint, having discarded their concealment.
Each of them seemed to be from the unorthodox path, making people involuntarily shiver with cold.
The leading old man was full of Yinsha energy, dense as a substance, resembling a monstrous demon eager to select people to devour.
This man cast a cold glance at the masked individuals and said indifferently, “Old man Huangfu, it’s merely the destruction of a small workshop. We have five Spiritual Platform Realm cultivators gathered here, and both you and I are in the advanced stages of Spiritual Platform Realm. Even if we encounter a normal Heavenly Human Realm, we can handle it. Why then are you hiding in such a manner?”
“Mr. Yin.” The masked old man surnamed Huangfu spoke calmly, “Both of us have families and businesses, have children and grandchildren, we naturally should be careful. If our actions today were exposed, our entire clan would be implicated.”
“Hmph~”
Mr. Yin let out a cold snort, seemingly somewhat disdainful.
“Speaking of, we have been undercover for quite some time.” A ghastly smile appeared on his face as cold as a zombie’s, “After being stifled for too long, it’s time to see blood.”
Having said this, he vaulted up, instantly soaring down from the high ground like a bird, gliding with the wind.
In just over ten breaths, he took advantage of the high-altitude advantage to glide diagonally downwards more than a hundred feet, landing in front of the workshop.
His two subordinates, as well as the two masked individuals, immediately followed him up.
Spiritual Platform Realm cultivators could achieve brief aerial flights; gliding from high ground downwards was naturally effortless.
All of them, five Spiritual Platform Realm cultivators, when they stood in front of the workshop, held a powerful aura, and were filled with confidence.
“Everyone, our intelligence has determined that all the raw silk cocoons are within the workshop.” Old man Huangfu said, “Our goal is to kill everyone here. The ships and people who receive us will transport all the raw silk cocoon materials, as well as the new type of reeling equipment and weaving tools.”
They were confident.
As long as they could get their hands on these new tools, they could easily reproduce them within two years.
At this comment.
The eyes of the two masked men flashed with excitement.
This would be a turning point in their destiny!
However, suddenly.
Before they even had a chance to break in, a young man’s voice came from inside, “Commander, my intelligence is not wrong, right? Indeed, there are people from Yinsha Sect active in our Changning Guard.”
As he spoke, a group of people was coming out of the cement workshop.
The man at the forefront was dressed as a military officer. He was tall and majestic, wearing a black suit of armor, and his military temperament was unquestionable.
Behind him were a young man and a woman. The young man looked heroic while the woman was tough and unyielding.
This young couple was none other than Wang Shoulian and his fiancée Zhou Qingning.
A while back, with the consent of Wang Shouzhe and the mediation of Liu Ruolan, they had successfully arranged this marriage.
However, Zhou Zhenwu, being the commander of the Changning Guard’s Third Patrol Battalion, was a bit concerned. He felt that the current city lord, Xiahou Hongde, only had three years left in his term. It would be better to wait for Xiahou Hongde to leave, and when the new city lord came, they could stage this act while he was still finding his footing. This way, there was less likely to be a problem.
For this reason, their relationship was still kept a secret.
Aside from Wang Shoulian and the other two, there were also two men in splendid clothes.
One of them was the Family Head of the Jinsha Xu Family, Xu Anze. However, he was only in his forties, with his strength at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage so it was not his place to stage a grand scene today.
The actual representative of the Xu Family of Jinsha was the man in front of him.
He was the old ancestor of the Jinsha Xu family, Xu Ningwei, Old Ancestor Ningwei.
Old Ancestor Ningwei looked majestic and refined, but his face already bore signs of old age.
The Jinsha Xu Family was inherently weak, and Old Ancestor Ningwei, who was over a hundred years old, was only in the early stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm.
Luckily, when the founding ancestor who had divided from the Changning Xu Family obtained a Spiritual Artifact, the “Spiritual Yoad Shield”, as the family’s spiritual artifact, it granted Old Ancestor Ningwei a somewhat decent fighting power among many cultivators at the early stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm.
Moreover, the Spiritual Yoad Shield had outstanding defensive power, enabling him to save his life even against an opponent in the mid-stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm.
This was typically the case for rank-nine prominent families; naturally, they could not compare with a grade-eight prominent family in terms of solid foundation.
However, after embracing the golden thigh of the Ping’an Wang Family, the future development potential of the Jinsha Xu Family was bound to rise steadily.
As these five people appeared.
Mr. Yin and the other four were momentarily startled, feeling a vaguely bad premonition in their hearts.
The other party had even invited the patrol camp to guard over here, clearly they had been calculated.
However, before they had a chance to respond, the eyes of Commander Zhou Zhenwu of Changning Guard’s Third Patrol Battalion were already fixed on them.
“Unbelievable that people from Yinsha Sect dare to stir up trouble in our Changning Guard. They truly know no fear of death.” His gaze fell on Mr. Yin as he sneered, “Men, surround them!”
