Chapter 175: Dragon King.

Thinking over and over, the Commandant also secretly regretted that these Constables did not bring bows and arrows when they came out. Military crossbows were even less suitable to be taken out in broad daylight. As a result, there was no long-range means to deal with that “evildoer”, letting him succeed again and again. If not for this, where would there be so much trouble before.

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If he could not solve the current matter early, later on, if the Eastern Depot rushed over, there would probably be even more long nights and many dreams.

Thinking of this, the Commandant gritted his teeth again, strode to the small wooden door beside the ear room, and pushed hard. The wooden door opened with a sound, and another gust of fishy wind blew head-on from inside.

In this wind, it was no longer the sound of women crying. Not only was the bloody smell heavier, but more terribly, in this wind, one could faintly hear some strange sounds.

It was like some Monster grinding its teeth and breathing in the dark, or some Monsters whispering, or a Demon smiling coldly, just waiting for these people to enter the backyard courtyard, then swarming up, swallowing, chewing, and dividing these people clean.

Hearing these sounds, a few Constables had weak legs and could not even stand. Their weapons fell to the ground with a clang. Tears and snot flowed together as they shouted: “I’m not doing it anymore! I’m not doing it anymore! Such a fierce aura, there are probably evil ghosts inside!”

Everyone heard this and had the intention to retreat. Even the Commandant felt a lot of panic in his heart.

Just at this moment, suddenly someone shouted loudly in the courtyard: “Motherfcker! What are you shouting about! Can’t you see the Daoist is here exorcising demons? You are making so much noise. Do you want to scare those monsters out?”

Although this Daoist from the White Cloud Temple had a shocking presence, after all, his voice was tender. It did not sound like he was scaring people, but rather like a child bickering.

However, when this panting Daoist really appeared in front of everyone, the Constables surrounding outside became even softer, their bones turning to mush. Many people threw their knives on the ground, bowed again and again, and shouted: “Little Immortal, Little Immortal.”

Seeing this, the Commandant’s heart felt even more desolate. The words he originally wanted to say turned into nothingness at this moment. At this time, if he still wanted to order these Constables to kill people, he would probably be captured by these Constables instead.

Thinking of this, the Commandant let out a long breath, cupped his hands towards Daoist Yuan and said: “Daoist Priest, greetings here. I, Hou, am also acting under orders. Please forgive any offense.”

Daoist Yuan had a smile on his mouth, but his eyes looked at the Commandant without a trace of smile, and said: “Orders? Orders from the Emperor?”

The Commandant’s eyes shrank slightly. He knew that today could not end well. He nodded and said: “Exactly following the Emperor’s orders to come here and arrest the evildoer.”

Daoist Yuan also nodded and asked: “Do you dare to go before the Emperor with me to confront each other?”

Sweat broke out like a pulp on the Commandant’s back. He was silent for a long while before slowly saying: “Why would I not dare? It is just that the Emperor’s decree is important. Let me execute the Emperor’s decree first, then naturally I will go with the Daoist Priest to face the Emperor and ask His Majesty to judge.”

Daoist Yuan smiled again, looked at the Commandant meaningfully, and said: “That is fine too, that is fine too. I am afraid that when the time comes, only I, the Daoist, will go to see the Emperor. Where will this confrontation come from?”

“I will absolutely not retreat in the face of battle. Right and wrong will be decided by His Majesty’s holy judgment.”

Daoist Yuan moved his body aside and said: “This courtyard, originally I was going to cast a spell to catch the demon. The one who came with me is also a living Immortal who has become greatly famous recently. The Pan Family side, the Dongzhi Gate side, all have his illustrious reputation. Originally I thought that the two of us catching those monsters and demons would be no problem. But with your disturbance, the timing went wrong. Now you want to arrest the evildoer, which has messed up the Feng Shui aura even more. It is already extremely dangerous inside. Fine, fine. If you insist on going in, then go in. If you really startle the monsters and release a few, do not blame me for not warning you beforehand.”

The Commandant quieted down for a moment, adjusted the armor on his body, flashed past Daoist Yuan, and strode into the rear courtyard.

Daoist Yuan smiled ambiguously as he stepped aside and asked: “Come, come, come, who else is willing to enter together? All of you go in. There must be a witness, so don’t say I made baseless accusations or lied to deceive you all.”

When those Constables heard this, many of their legs went soft; how could they really dare to enter? They repeatedly made excuses, and seeing that the people who had drawn their swords at the back were no longer there, they found excuses to leave one after another.

There are all kinds of people in this world, and among them, there were actually a few bold ones who wanted to see something rare. Following behind the Commandant’s followers, they walked in one after another.

More than ten people entered in this group, all possessing some courage and fearing nothing. Entering the rear courtyard, they looked all around to see if there was anything unusual. They looked here and there but found no result. Only Xiao Fen sat alone in the pavilion, watching the pool of water with a cold sneer on his face.

When the Commandant saw Xiao Fen, anger truly rose from his heart, and wickedness grew from his gall. With a clang, he drew the Embroidered Spring Knife from his waist and said loudly: “Hey, you evil man! You spread evil words to mislead the crowd at Censor Pan’s house, and then you put on an act at Dongzhi Gate. Come, come, come, your crimes have been exposed. Come with me to the Ministry of Justice now, and you might suffer less punishment. If you do not comply, I will execute you right here on the spot.”

Xiao Fen turned his head and swept a glance at this Commandant. From the corner of his eye, he saw Daoist Yuan nod slightly. He sighed loudly on purpose and said with a look of pity: “You young fellow are so ignorant. I am suppressing the Magic Eye here. If I want to leave, I must find someone to replace me in suppressing it. How about this? You find someone to replace me in suppressing the Magic Eye, and I will go with you to the Ministry of Justice to explain things?”

The Commandant froze for a moment, then said with a sinister smile: “They say you spread evil words to mislead the crowd, and it is indeed true. In this Capital City, under the bright sky, how could there be Monsters causing trouble? If there really are Monsters, it is you people who brought them. Suppressing the Magic Eye? I want to see where this Magic Eye comes from in this courtyard? And where the Monsters come from?”

Xiao Fen raised his head to look at the other people and asked: “Do you all think so too?”

Those Constables who followed behind were about to shake their heads when the Commandant’s followers at the front already responded: “You evil man, say no more. Hurry down from that pavilion and come with us.”

Xiao Fen smiled again, raised his voice, and said: “This pavilion was originally the eye of the formation suppressing the many Monsters of the Blood Pool Hell. Because this pavilion exists, this neighborhood has been kept peaceful. However, strange phenomena occurred frequently in the Capital City in recent days, causing this formation eye to loosen. Daoist Yuan and I came here precisely to eliminate the disaster here. But you, young fellow, insist that I leave. Fine, fine, fine, I will leave now. However, after I leave, everything that happens here must be borne by you, young fellow.”

The Commandant had no choice but to brace himself at this point and said loudly: “Where are there any Monsters in this residence? It is all you evil man spreading lies to mislead people. You come down. If you are slow, I might just chop off your head and send you straight to Hell.”

Xiao Fen gave a cold laugh and said: “You want me to come down? Why don’t you dare to come up and capture me? Are you afraid I set an ambush in this pavilion? With such courage, you dare to raise weapons against me. You are truly an ordinary mortal, incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid.”

After speaking, Xiao Fen walked down from the pavilion in a leisurely manner and walked slowly toward the crowd. A breeze blew past, and his clothes fluttered in the wind again. In the eyes of those Constables, he looked indescribably elegant and otherworldly, full of the air of an Immortal.

Seeing Xiao Fen come down, the Commandant instead took a step back, retreating among his followers. Without speaking, several people exchanged glances and made up their minds. They only waited for Xiao Fen to reach the right spot to hack him to death with random blades. Regardless of the future consequences, they would kill this person first.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Not long after Xiao Fen walked out of the pavilion, a loud “boom” was heard. From that small lotus pond, a huge bronze monkey suddenly blasted out. Attached to the bronze monkey, a long chain could faintly be seen, rattling in the air. Sharp-eyed people could see at a glance that this chain was covered with layers of blood stains. Those blood stains seemed very old, turning from red to black on the iron chain. After this bronze monkey was blasted out, it flew extremely fast. In less than an instant, it had already flown to the west and disappeared without a trace.

This change made not only those Constables but even the Commandant and his followers shudder. Their legs went soft, and they kept thinking in their hearts: “Oh no, oh no, this is truly walking into a dead end.”

Xiao Fen turned his back to the pond, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly. A string of text appeared before his eyes, reminding him that he had triggered another Main Quest of this Trial World.

“You have triggered Main Quest: Blood Dragon King.”

“Blood Dragon King: A massive filthy blood python is emerging from the water. It longs to deprive all seen life and spread terrible plagues to all places it passes.”

“Quest Level: B+.”

“Within the next 2 hours, you must kill this blood python and must not let the blood python leave this courtyard.”

“You have 5 minutes of preparation time.”

“Mission countdown begins.”

Xiao Fen frowned slightly. The triggering of this Main Quest was quite timely. If the Main Quest had been triggered back at the pavilion, perhaps the effect would not have been this good.

At the same time, the Commandant and his men could no longer care about killing Xiao Fen. They kept retreating, their legs trembling uncontrollably. Some individuals were even so scared that they collapsed on the ground, and a foul stench suddenly appeared from their bodies; they had been so terrified that they lost control of their bowels and bladders.

In the pond behind Xiao Fen, the water surface began to bubble continuously with a “gurgling” sound. Following that, more blood water surged from under the pond water, quickly overflowing the stone platform by the pond and constantly flooding toward the entire courtyard.

At the same time, dark clouds suddenly rolled across the sky. In less than an instant, the sun no longer shone in this sky. Gloomy, cold winds constantly appeared from all directions, mixed with various sounds of weeping and chewing, sounding extremely creepy.

Xiao Fen looked at the Commandant and said: “Fine, fine, fine. Since you insisted on coming and refused to listen to advice, let it be. You come and deal with these Monsters. I will just go to the Ministry of Justice and wait for you.”

The Commandant looked at Xiao Fen, gritted his teeth suddenly, and said: “I was ordered to capture the evil man, so naturally I must take the evil man away with me. The matters here are all the evil man’s doing. Once the evil man leaves, things will naturally calm down.”
