28 Chapter 28: Take Action

Liang Sheng's Mansion.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Liang Sheng used the old routine of Corpse Dissolving Powder to completely erase the traces of Wu Youde and the others. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he hid back in the secret room.

It seemed that he needed to improve his combat experience in the future. If his strength wasn't stronger, he would have almost capsized in the gutter.

Thinking of Wu Youde's previous rapid reaction, he couldn't help but reflect in his heart that he couldn't achieve that level of reaction under crisis, which was formed by years of fighting.

Every technique in this world comes with its own method of attack and defense, and the Golden Dragon Technique comes with the Descending Dragon Palm. Wu Youde was defeated by his own palm strike.

As for the Unmoving Ming King Seal, he hadn't yet comprehended its method of attack and defense; and as for the Health Cultivation Method, since it was for maintaining health, where would there be fighting and killing?

Liang Sheng silently calculated his gains and losses this time, and he really hadn't expected that his previous safety was actually due to Hongzhi secretly helping him.

Although Jinshan Temple indeed had its problems, this time they were just assisting in causing chaos, and the main troublemakers were the Lifeless Sect.

Fortunately, this time it was only Wu Youde's personal action, and the Lifeless Sect had no energy to deal with him, a "waste".

It was really good to be a "waste", as no one paid attention to him, but people could pretend to be wastes, not really be wastes.

Just like tonight, if it weren't for Liang Sheng's breakthrough to the Post-Natal "Eighth" Level, he could only watch Wu Youde search for him with his eyes wide open, and not dare to show his face.

If so, he would have brought countless troubles because of his disappearance, of course, he still needed to be cautious in the future, and see the situation in the next two days before discussing other matters.

However, if there was a chance and he wouldn't be in danger, he would also take revenge, after all, Wu Youde was a member of the Lifeless Sect, and with a life and death enmity, how could he not take revenge?

Ah, he just wanted to have a peaceful life and live until the end of time, why do people always seek their own death?

Liang Sheng's way of dealing with people was simple: if he couldn't beat the opponent, he would submit; if he could beat them, he would fight back like slaughtering chickens and ducks, and dispute every penny!

...

On the other side.

At this moment, Yang Laifa was also somewhat angry, thinking that Xuan Ji did not show up today just because he didn't want to be too deeply involved.

Jinshan Temple only took the responsibility of guiding the way and did not participate in any subsequent actions, so Xuan Ji had Hongzhi make up an excuse to excuse himself today. How ridiculous that he believed it at the time.

The more Yang Laifa thought about it, the angrier he became, thinking about his retreat from the battle this time, he felt that he couldn't live up to the efforts of his brothers in the sect, and couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

However, when he returned to the base, he didn't see Wu Youde. At first, he didn't care, thinking that Wu Youde had just gone out to relax.

But when Wu Youde still didn't show up the next morning, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. After all, the rules of the Lifeless Sect were strict, and he couldn't possibly be away overnight.

There was a problem!

This was Yang Laifa's first thought, could it be that Wu Youde was acting on his own and leaked his whereabouts and was arrested by Jinzhou City?

But last night was extremely quiet, and if Wu Youde caused trouble, there would be no movement. He immediately sent someone to look for him, but there was still no news of Wu Youde.

What's worse was that Wu Youde's men had also disappeared, which made Yang Laifa feel even more regretful.

When plotting against Jinzhou City, the situation he feared most was an uncontrollable situation. He didn't know why, but he became increasingly dissatisfied with Xuan Ji.

If it weren't for him, the trouble would have been carried out smoothly yesterday, so where would there be today's problems?

Yang Laifa did not know the specific situation at the moment, so he could only remain silent. However, just in case, he quickly moved with the core members of the Lifeless Sect, but left a spy nearby.

He still had a glimmer of hope that Wu Youde could return safely, but the probability was already almost impossible.

Afterwards, the followers of the Lifeless Sect secretly investigated, but there was still no news of Wu Youde, and thus, another two days passed.

Over the past few days, Yang Laifa could no longer suppress the emotions of his brethren in the sect. After all, the armies were fighting, and he could not wait any longer.

Regardless of Wu Youde's situation, Yang Laifa had to make a decision now, otherwise, untoward changes might happen if it's too late.

Yang Laifa was filled with regret in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on his face. As the leader of the Lifeless Sect in Jinzhou City, he couldn't be affected by such feelings.

Fortunately, there had been some good news over the past two days - the common people in the city had become like a ticking bomb, just waiting for a fuse to ignite them.

In the past, it was Wu Youde who was responsible for instigating the people. But now, Yang Laifa had to let someone else take over. When the sect members heard that Yang Laifa had finally decided to take action, they couldn't help but feel invigorated.

At this time, a core member of the sect stood up and asked, "Protector, should we inform the Xuan Ji saint monk to join us?"

Hearing this, Yang Laifa's face turned sour. "No need. They were only guides. We are responsible for everything else."

Hearing this, the others let out a sigh of relief. They were finally free of the hindrances that impeded their progress. In fact, not only Wu Youde was dissatisfied with the previous operation's failure.

Soon after Yang Laifa gave the order, hundreds of Lifeless Sect followers dispersed and gathered the common people again in no time.

This time around, the common people had completely lost hope and acted even more brutally than before. They carried weapons - knives and even rolling pins.

Yang Laifa observed from a hidden position and couldn't help but feel a bit delighted inside. The people's will could be harnessed, and this slightly alleviated his depression from the past few days.

Now, the common people didn't split into two groups - they directly rushed towards the city gate. After all, their demand was simple: they wanted to leave the city to look for food so as not to starve to death.

Yang Laifa was not worried that the Jinzhou County Government Office would sit idly by. They had most likely already received the news and reinforcements were heading to the city gate.

The alliance between the Liang and Wu Families and the government could not ignore this crisis. They must act – after all, the Holy Sect wanted their lives, and they had no other choice but to join forces.

However, amidst the joy, Yang Laifa was still somewhat uneasy. Previously, they had indeed killed the county chief, but their identities had not been exposed. He didn't know who was plotting in the dark.

Furthermore, with Wu Youde's disappearance, Yang Laifa was naturally uneasy. But he still forcefully suppressed these emotions because now was not the time to think about such things.

As Yang Laifa expected, constables and clerks from the County Ya Catcher and members of the gentry families were already on guard at the city gate.

The confrontation between the people and the guards caused some unrest. But this time, it was different - members of the Lifeless Sect had infiltrated the crowd, and the common people were already linked together.

At that moment, a man emerged from the city gate, and it was Jinzhou's catcher, Zheng Wan Chun, who stepped forward. "I'll give you one last chance – go home now, and the County Office will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you'll be killed without mercy!"

There was some commotion among the crowd, but at this moment, a man charged out with a vegetable knife in his hand.

"I just want to live! What have I done wrong?"

The knife was swung, but before the man reached Zheng Wan Chun, he was met with a cold, sharp blade, and then his head fell to the ground.

The blood spurted half a meter away, but instead of scaring the common people, it aroused their fighting spirit.

"We would die if we don't leave. Charge, everyone!"

In an instant, the people swarmed towards the constables and clerks, looking crazed. Zheng Wan Chun wore a serious expression and didn't hesitate to wave his hand.

Kill!

In a matter of moments, the entire area around the city gate fell into chaos. Yang Laifa, watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel a sense of determination.

Success!
