Chapter 7: The Rebellion of the Officials

At this moment, several fine horses had gathered around a carriage and galloped to the scene of the murder, having listened to some of the citizens' testimonies.

At this moment, the man in black has already been bound by two minor officials, and it is evident that escaping now would be quite difficult

Murder has occurred

Indeed, if he had taken action directly at that time, it would not have been difficult to subdue the two local officials

There was an official dressed in a long robe and a tall crown, with a seal hanging from his body, kneeling in the carriage with a gloomy expression. He coldly said: "The demon dares to kill the officials of the state; such a crime is unforgivable. Immediately convey my orders to every village and town, and thoroughly search the mountains and fields. No matter what, we must find the criminal!"

I just didn't expect that as soon as I crossed over, I would encounter danger

However, although Wang Ling had already determined that this person was a time traveler, at this moment, she still chose to test him with her words

However, after the man in black was rescued, he recalled the humiliation he had just endured and the near-death experience he faced. In a moment of rage, he became ferocious, disregarding everything else.

If it were not for Wang Ling's rescue, at this moment he would have already had his tendons severed by someone, unable to seek life or death

The two clerks acted without hesitation, taking out their knives to pin the man in black to the ground, intending to sever his tendons.

However, it is too late to say anything now

Regretting the impulsiveness even more, I saved this person out of consideration for our shared experience as time travelers

At that time, he thought he was sufficiently accommodating, yet unexpectedly, those two despicable clerks acted without hesitation, nearly causing him to suffer a disastrous setback.

Someone has killed an official and rebelled

"Nonsense, of course. If it were not so, why would we, as practitioners, need to hide and evade? Alas, you should not have killed those two minor officials; this time, it is akin to stirring up a hornet's nest! No more talk, we must continue on our way, lest we be caught up by the court's experts!" Wang Ling said

At this moment, he secretly lamented, in this world, killing two minor officials would indeed be a tremendous trouble

Lord Hou, this sorcerer possesses magical abilities. To be on the safe side, would it not be better to sever their tendons?

This audacious time traveler actually dares to kill a minor official, perhaps completely unaware of how powerful the government in this realm truly is

In any world, killing law enforcers is a significant trouble

It is merely a wooden tablet inscribed with the law, yet it is capable of breaking the spells of ordinary cultivators

That is the item used by the minor officials in law enforcement, inscribed with the laws of the court, along with the official seal.

Although the Jun Tian Temple has long since declined, it still has a large number of devoted followers.

The two individuals traversed through the woods, crossed mountains and ridges, and walked for several dozen miles before finally slowing down

The so-called wooden tablets refer to legal documents

On the other side, within the city of Guangyang

He, the True Cloud Daoist, is indeed a disciple of the prominent Daoist sect, the Jun Tian Guan.

"Wooden tablets? Those are the instruments of local officials for enforcing the law, inscribed with the statutes of the court and bearing the official seal. Although these government items are not as significant as the official seals of the officials, they still undermine our way of practice... You wouldn't possibly be unaware of this, would you?" Wang Ling deliberately asked in a peculiar tone.

After all, the two village officials are merely ordinary individuals, with rather average skills

However, Wang Ling believes that these two fellows will find out soon enough

This left the man in the black robe momentarily speechless, as he had just crossed over and truly did not know.

The onlookers around shouted and scattered in all directions

"Oh, with such skills, how could you still be captured by two local officials?" Wang Ling asked the man in the black robe.

Youyou gently stroked his chin beard and mustache, nodding slightly as if in agreement

With a few soft sounds, Wang Ling had already taken advantage of the chaos to come over and cut the ropes binding the hands and feet of the man in black.

The man in the black robe felt a chill in his heart as he recalled how those two local officials would often pick on people. He immediately dared not linger any longer and followed Wang Ling towards the mountains.

Is it true that the authority of the government in this world is so powerful?

He possesses remarkable skills and formidable abilities in the Dao, and as a time traveler, he is destined to achieve immortality and enlightenment, bringing glory to his sect. However, just in this marketplace, is he about to suffer a setback and be harmed by two minor officials?

The authority of the government in this world is indeed so powerful

That is excellent. Once the county court's ghostly soldiers are dispatched, no matter where those two demons try to escape, they shall not hope to survive!" The speaking clerk was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, he took out an object from his bosom, and a beam of light shot through the air, merely circling around the two constables. The two constables screamed in agony, their bodies turned black, and they had already foamed at the mouth and died.

Is the power of the court as terrifying as this

In the tone, it seems to imply that it is common knowledge, and you should not be unaware of it!

More importantly, he is familiar with the terrain

Although the man in black is fierce and highly skilled, in such an unfamiliar place, he can only escape alongside Wang Ling

At this moment, a minor official stepped forward and clasped his hands, saying: "Lord Youjiao, it will soon be dark. It is difficult to locate the demon with just the local villagers. Should we deploy the ghost soldiers?"

Is it possible that a wooden tablet inscribed with laws could actually break his spell? It nearly caused him to suffer a major setback.

At this moment, the man in black has already been bound by two minor officials, and it is evident that escaping now would be quite difficult

Well, in any case, such a demon will only face execution when captured by the authorities, so it is better to sever his hands and feet first...

Generally, common fugitives are unaware of the power of these things, yet Wang Ling, as a scion of a prominent family, is fully aware of it!

Then he was pulled up

Fortunately, Wang Ling has practiced martial arts since childhood, and her skills are quite remarkable

These items of the government possess the regulations of the court and the authority of the officials. Although they cannot compare to the seals of the officials, they are nonetheless specifically designed to break the laws of the Dao

Then Youjiao nodded slightly and said: "This is only natural. I not only intend to send out the local ghost soldiers, but I also need to inform the county lord to dispatch the county's ghost soldiers as well..."

Only the one in the black robe could flee quickly.

This time it was Wang Ling's turn to be in a daze, as he had never expected that this person would be so ruthless, having just been rescued and immediately turning around to kill.

At that moment, a projectile had already been thrown to the ground, erupting in a cloud of black smoke, the acrid and pungent odor causing the two minor officials to cough repeatedly as they covered their mouths and noses and retreated backward

The man in black was greatly shocked, as he never expected that these officials would be so ruthless and vicious.

Wang Ling truly regrets getting involved with this guy

As the official spoke, the two subordinate clerks listened, bowed in response, and immediately mounted their horses to relay the message to various local posts.

However, the flickering gaze reveals thoughts of how these demons have become increasingly numerous and audacious in their activities. The court should once again issue a proclamation to the world, in order to effectively strike against them!

The man in the black robe smiled wryly: "I don't even know what that wooden board is. Just a glance at it left me blinded by white light, feeling dizzy and disoriented..."

Hurry up, how could you be caught so easily by two minor officials! If it weren't for the fact that we are all practitioners of the same Qi cultivation lineage, I wouldn't bother to save you. Now hurry and leave...

That person walked with astonishing speed, appearing to be merely walking, yet their pace was no less than that of running. Regardless of the rugged terrain, they glided past as if their feet barely touched the ground
