Gancao Town.
Lin Sheng clutched Huang Quan's thin body in his hand, tucking him under his armpit, and strode forward, his figure like a cannonball shooting out, covering hundreds of meters in a breath.
Although his ingested exotic beasts were mostly strong in Physique and strength, lacking somewhat in speed and agility, this was only relative.
With high-level Spirit Beasts like the Ghost-mane Finch and Roaring Moon Wolf Ghoul, which excel in agility, his speed was actually not slow. Coupled with the high strength bonus, his burst speed in a straight line was very fast, no slower than a Martial Artist who had just entered the Divine Transformation Realm, only lacking in flexibility.
Therefore, even though there were thousands of miles between the bamboo forest and Gancao Town, it would only take him half an hour to run at full speed.
"This is it. The new base is in this Gancao Town."
Huang Quan's voice came from under his armpit. At this moment, his face was a little pale. After all, his injuries had not healed, and he was being carried by Lin Sheng at full speed. Although he didn't have to travel himself, he couldn't heal his injuries at all.
However, he couldn't care about that now. He pointed to the town ahead and said quickly.
Lin Sheng did not stop and immediately sped towards the town ahead.
Outside the town at this time, teams of fully armed soldiers had already sealed it off, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
There were dozens of these soldiers, each wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, carrying bows, crossbows, and firearms, exuding a terrifying aura. Every one of them was a master of the Blood Transportation Realm. This level of elite armored soldiers was clearly not something a mere Gancao Town could possess.
"Halt!"
The stationed soldiers quickly noticed the figure approaching rapidly. The leading officer immediately raised his hand to signal.
The armored soldiers behind him quickly took down the bows, crossbows, and firearms on their backs and decisively fired.
In a breath, specially made arrows flashing with cold light and divine fire bullets wrapped in high temperature flew out simultaneously, like a large net rushing towards Lin Sheng.
Even a Martial Artist in the mid to late Bones Transformation stage would not dare to face such an attack directly.
It was just a pity they had chosen the wrong target.
Looking at the rapidly approaching attack, Lin Sheng frowned slightly. What he cared about was not these bows, crossbows, and gunpowder, but the current situation. It was clear that the situation at the base within the town was probably not good.
Thinking of this, his speed increased, and a sharp look flashed across his face.
He completely ignored these rapidly approaching attacks, letting them fall on him like raindrops.
The specially made arrows and divine fire bullets that could largely threaten Bones Transformation Martial Artists fell on him like raindrops, not causing even a ripple.
The sharp arrows directly shattered, and although the divine fire bullets exploded, they were instantly wrapped and crushed by force.
Under the leading officer's horrified gaze, Lin Sheng crashed into the crowd like a battle chariot moving at full speed. Several shield-bearing armored soldiers blocking the front were hit with a bang.
They shattered directly, and blood rained down everywhere. Before the strong, pungent smell of blood could dissipate, the ground had already exploded, like a dragon flipping over, directly burying the armored soldiers.
And Lin Sheng's figure had disappeared through the main gate.
Inside the town, in a dilapidated residence.
The sounds of metal clanging and painful roars kept ringing out.
The old Hidden Star Envoy fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He wanted to struggle to get up, but he was directly pressed into the dirt, a black boot pressing down hard on his neck.
"You must be Red Leaf. Your ranking on the wanted list is not low. I didn't expect you old fellow to be here too."
The leading Silver Badge Constable had a cold smile on his face.
But on the ground near him lay several Hidden Star Envoys, who had also been subdued long ago.
"Wang Luan, there are quite a few good things hidden in this base. I'll take you there."
The only Hidden Star Envoy still standing in the courtyard also smiled as he watched this scene and spoke calmly.
"Okay, I hope it won't disappoint me."
Wang Luan's mouth curved up, and the smile on his face grew wider.
Although Dark Star was always secretive, there were still many good things. After all, the predecessor of Dark Star was the remnants of the Former Dynasty. When the Former Dynasty was destroyed, those remnants took many good things with them.
Although Tainnan is only a prefecture, Dark Star has operated here for many years, so there must be many good things.
"Hua Long, Lord Thousand Faces will not let you off..."
The old man's eyes were full of hatred, staring intently at the middle-aged Hidden Star Envoy, and he spoke hatefully.
"Lord Thousand Faces?"
Hearing this, Hua Long sneered, his face full of mockery.
"Don't worry, you'll see your Lord Thousand Faces soon. I hope you can still say that then."
"You..."
The old man wanted to say something more, but his head was already stomped into the mud again.
"Take these people away."
After giving instructions to a few people beside him, the leading constable followed Hua Long towards the depths of the residence.
At this time, many Star Apprentices and Gray Star Envoys in the residence were either dead or injured, with only a very small number still resisting, but they were quickly knocked to the ground.
There were quite a few Star Apprentices and Gray Star Envoys in the residence, numbering two to three hundred people. Due to the relocation of the base, almost ninety percent of Dark Star members in Tiannan Prefecture were gathered here, and they were basically all caught in one swoop at this moment.
Finally, as the last Gray Star Envoy was kicked to the ground, all Dark Star members were subdued.
Although there was an intention to keep them alive, swords and blades have no eyes, and many Dark Star members in the residence were still killed or injured.
Bang!!
A loud explosion came from the tightly closed main gate of the residence.
The thick door bolt suddenly shattered.
The powerful impact continued unabated, and the two heavy gates shattered with a crash.
Several figures in heavy armor also flew in along with them, falling heavily to the ground, already dead.
"Who goes there!?"
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.
Two Silver Badge Constables roared and quickly rushed towards the main gate, but the next moment, they flew back at an even faster speed, without even a grunt. When they landed on the ground, only half of their bodies remained.
And this was just the beginning. A figure rushed into the courtyard. Although quite thin, he was like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, shattering the bodies of Silver Badge Constables one by one.
Within just a few breaths, more than ten Silver Badge Constables had already fallen to the ground, not a single complete corpse among them.
After crushing the body of the last Silver Badge Constable under his foot, Lin Sheng's gaze calmly fell on the dozens of heavily armored government soldiers remaining in the other part of the courtyard.
Under their fearful gaze, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
After a few more breaths, Lin Sheng shook off the bloodstains on his hands before looking at the subdued Dark Star members.
"Your... Your Excellency, who are you?"
Red Leaf, whose aura was weak and whose face was covered in dirt, stood up from the ground. At this moment, he couldn't care about his appearance and asked Lin Sheng in a trembling voice.
It wasn't just him; the other Hidden Star Envoys beside him looked at Lin Sheng with even greater fear.
Nothing else, it was simply the ruthlessness of Lin Sheng's attacks just now, far beyond their imagination. Especially the brutal scene of one slap per Silver Badge Constable, which was even more shocking than the attacks of Thousand Faces and Blazing Star Envoy Lan Man.
"Old Ye!"
At this moment, Huang Quan's somewhat anxious voice sounded from outside the gate.
He had been left outside the courtyard by Lin Sheng just now and had also rushed in.
"Huang Quan!?"
Seeing Huang Quan appear, Red Leaf's aged face showed surprise.
"This is the new Blazing Star Envoy, Ghost Face. That guy Jin Qianbao is a traitor and has been dealt with by Lord Ghost Face. It's good that you are all right."
Huang Quan immediately stepped forward to check their condition, took out detoxification pills, and introduced Lin Sheng to them at the same time.
"Lord Ghost Face..."
Hearing Huang Quan's words, everyone finally reacted. They had also heard the news about a new Blazing Star Envoy, and they didn't expect him to appear at this critical moment and save them.
"Hua Long, and that bastard Hua Long, he's a traitor too!!"
Red Leaf seemed to remember something and shouted, his face flushed.
"What's going on!? So noisy!"
At this, two figures walked over from the backyard. They were Hua Long and Wang Luan, the leader of the Silver Badge Constables.
Both of them originally had surprised smiles on their faces, clearly indicating that the gains inside far exceeded their expectations. Hearing the commotion outside, they came out to see.
However, when they saw the scene in the courtyard, which looked as if it had been dyed with fresh blood, both their expressions changed simultaneously. Especially when they personally witnessed the unrecognizable, somewhat familiar broken corpses, it greatly shocked them.
Finally, their gazes fell in unison on the two extra people in the courtyard.
"Huang Quan!?" The moment he saw Huang Quan, Hua Long's expression changed. "How could you be here? Jin Qianbao, he wasn't..."
As a hidden agent of the Imperial Court, he naturally knew about Jin Qianbao's actions, and it was even he who had instigated Jin Qianbao's defection in the first place.
Soon, he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at Lin Sheng.
"You... You are that..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he only felt a blur before his eyes, and the figure who had been several zhang away just now had appeared before him.
Wang Luan, who was greatly alarmed at the side, reacted extremely quickly. He raised his hand and unleashed a full-force attack towards the figure who had appeared before him.
Crack—
What responded to him was a rough palm that was constantly expanding in his vision.
The two palms collided, and Wang Luan's expression changed drastically. Before he could withdraw his hand, his entire arm had exploded, and his strong body was grasped by that rough large hand, unable to move even an inch.
When Hua Long saw Lin Sheng appear before him, he had already realized something was wrong. He did not fight back like Wang Luan, but instead retreated abruptly without thinking, trying to escape from this place.
He knew very well that someone who could deal with these Silver Badge Constables in the courtyard in such a short time was definitely not someone he could resist, especially since Jin Qianbao was not here, which probably meant the other party had...
He knew Jin Qianbao's strength very well. Although he had only recently broken through, he was also in the Divine Transformation Realm.
So at this moment, he had only one thought: escape. Only by escaping could he have a chance of survival.
The Cultivation Technique he practiced was originally known for its agility. At this moment, he was fleeing at full speed and decisively using a secret technique, his speed already reaching its limit.
In an instant, he had already crossed a distance of several zhang.
With Wang Luan diverting the pressure, he was confident that as long as he could escape this courtyard and reach the street, he would definitely be able to escape.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is often unsatisfactory.
Just as he had darted to the edge of the eaves, a rapid air explosion suddenly sounded behind him.
It was as if a large amount of air had been compressed to the extreme and then suddenly burst.
A terrifying strong wind arrived first, instantly falling on Hua Long's back.
Hua Long's entire body froze, standing stiffly in place like a suddenly frozen puppet.
The next moment, his entire body instantly turned into a mist of blood.
Lin Sheng lowered his scarlet, blood-red arm, a look of surprise on his face.
He hadn't expected that the power unleashed after activating True Yang Change could reach such a level.
Although it was still not as good as Level 3 Giant Strength, it could probably amplify his strength by about three times.
He had originally intended to keep a living person, but he had still struck too hard.
He lifted Wang Luan, who was like a dead dog, threw him casually on the ground, and asked from above.
"Besides you people, are there anyone else!? What tricks is your Special Envoy in Fu City playing?"
"You... Lord Gongsun will not let you off."
Wang Luan, with a broken arm and all his bones crushed, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Lin Sheng with resentment all over his face, and replied hatefully.
"You... everyone, will..."
He stammered, trying to say something more, but a large foot had already fallen.
With a smack, Wang Luan's raised head was crushed.
"Too much nonsense."
Lin Sheng didn't even look at the headless body on the ground and walked up to Huang Quan.
"Lan Man and the others went to Fu City?"
"That's right. Thousand Faces and Lord Lan Man plan to kill Gongsun Yuanzhou, release the Martial Artists imprisoned there, and uncover the truth about the Beast Suppression Army."
Huang Quan immediately said.
"To ensure the success of the operation, Lord Thousand Faces also contacted the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect and the Ten Absolute Sect to act together."
"Ten Thousand Spirits Sect and Ten Absolute Sect." Hearing this, Lin Sheng was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that Qi Ning could persuade these two major sects in Tiannan Prefecture to take action.
The size of Tiannan Prefecture is much larger than Lin'an Prefecture, and the strength of these two major sects is also stronger than the Tianxiang Sword Sect.
If these two major sects take action, coupled with Qi Ning and Lan Man, the number of God-Form Martial Artists acting this time will definitely not be small.
With such power, no matter how strong Gongsun Yuanzhou's strength is, he cannot resist it.
However, with traitors like Jin Qianbao in Dark Star, the other party cannot be unaware of this operation, yet they still remain in Fu City.
He definitely has some counter-measures. It is likely that a large number of Imperial Court masters have already gathered in Fu City at this time, just waiting for Qi Ning and others to walk into the trap.
Thinking of this, he frowned tightly.
"Huang Quan, how long will it take for the message you sent to arrive?"
"Well, at the speed of Lord Thousand Faces and the others, they are probably already close to Fu City. The message bird will take at least two days to reach Fu City."
Huang Quan said in a deep voice.
"Hoo, there's not enough time..."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's brows relaxed. He glanced at everyone in the courtyard.
"I'll leave this place to you. Although the trouble is temporarily resolved, this place is also not safe. Take them away as soon as possible."
"Okay, you..."
Huang Quan nodded seriously, seeming to understand something as he looked at Lin Sheng.
"I'll go to Fu City. With my speed, I might be able to catch up."
Lin Sheng spoke slowly. After finishing, he had no intention of saying more, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the courtyard.
Watching Lin Sheng's figure disappear, Huang Quan sighed, but quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He fed detoxification pills to everyone in the courtyard and treated their injuries. After a while, everyone left the courtyard and hurried towards outside the town.
