Hearing the urgent shout from outside, the big man with a stubble on his face was about to go inform General Guo and instruct the city guards not to close the gates for the time being.

The old scholar, who was carrying a heavy bookcase, ran over to Dong Shuangyan's group. He bent down and rested his hands on his knees, out of breath.

Seeing the old scholar run over to Dong Luoyan and his entourage, the soldier did not dare to ask directly after learning the lesson from his mistake. He asked Dong Luoyan in a low voice, "Are you with the immortals?"

The old scholar raised his head and said in a clear voice, "It's still a pity to miss out on the Book of Virtue." If a person is already poor, how can he want to be poor?! "

Dong Shuiyan, who had been paying attention to the big box behind the old scholar, thought to himself: "He's an old scholar."

Senior Qian remained silent. She tapped the bottom of the case lightly with her scabbard and stretched out her hand to catch a book that had been knocked out. She flipped it open and saw that it was filled with spring and the scenery was realistic.

The old scholar's face turned red.

Senior Qian's eyebrows sank, as if she was afraid that she would dirty her hands. She handed the book to the old scholar with her scabbard and said coldly, "Go and find your Book of Virtue."

Dong Shuiyan and Cao Wan'er were confused, but Ma laughed heartily.

Putting the book back in the case, the old scholar smiled coyly and said, "Please calm your anger Immortal, this lowly one will leave now."

Walking out of the inn, the old man straightened his back and proudly strode forward. He patted the book case on his back and sighed as he shook his head, "We can't generalize about everything. How can it not be a good book?"

General Guo, who had received the order to patrol the County City from County Governor Manor, heard the report that a group of immortal masters had arrived at the County Governor City. He did not dare delay and immediately led his troops to the inn. Although General Guo looked very rough, he was actually a descendant of a big family in the Southcloud Kingdom. He had some understanding of the immortal schools and teachers around the Southcloud Kingdom. In the neighboring countries, the Violet Cloud Mountain, Riverside Palace, and the Jadewater Courtyard were all very similar existences.

General Guo's face lit up when he saw the women in light blue robes. He bowed and cupped his fists. "Sorry for the inconvenience, immortal master. Please forgive us. Did immortal master and the others come from the Riverside Palace?"

The River Lin Palace was built on the side of the Blue River. It was said that the fairies of the palace brewed Blue River wine and drank it all in one gulp as if they were bathing in the Blue River.

Senior Qian nodded slightly. "We have heard of the strange happenings in the Green Light Country and have come here to take a look."

A few days ago, the county sent someone to the Violet Cloud Mountain in hopes of inviting the immortal master down. However, the state of affairs in the county was getting worse, and the people sent were not heard from for a long time.

General Guo looked at the group of men, women, old and young in front of him.

General Guo hurriedly ordered the county governor to go inform the county governor first. He then led the group of men, women, old and young towards County Governor Manor.

The group walked majestically along the streets of Qingyao County. Ma sincerely said that they were looking at the situation in the county, so they all walked. When General Guo saw that the immortal masters were all walking, he didn't dare to ride the horse.

The bamboo chair was a treasure of the Violet Cloud Mountain. As long as he channeled his spirit energy into it, he would be able to fly dozens of meters away from the ground. However, he had used up a lot of spirit energy, so how could the old man, who had started to spread his spirit energy to nourish the land with his spirit energy, have the time to control the bamboo chair. With only one or two people riding on the bamboo chair, how could he fly in the sky when the rest of them were walking?

It seemed like every household in the Green Light Country was in a state of panic. Squadrons of armored soldiers were patrolling the streets, looking up and down at the sky. It was almost noon, but the sky was dark, and the dark clouds seemed to be able to push down on them at any time.

County Governor Manor was brightly lit. Outside the door, there were two red lanterns that were much bigger than the one at the library. County Governor Liu led his men to stand in front of the county governor's gates.

Behind County Governor Liu stood an elder with a man and a woman. There was a woman in a shirt and a young man with bottles on his back. However, he did not see the middle-aged man among the officials.

"Jiang Palace, I heard that they are one of the few cultivation sects nearby," the old woman and the man said in a soft and excited voice.

The benevolent old man in front of him chuckled and said, "Work hard, maybe in the future you can also enter into cultivation."

The woman in the cardigan yawned. What an arrogant fellow, she could be considered superior just because she was from a sect. What was the f * cking fairy of Riverside Palace worth? If she was born like that, would she be worse than those bitches? Thinking about that middle-aged man who was probably just skin and bones, the woman shook her head. Embroidered pillows were useless.

As he saw the large group approach, County Governor Liu quickly welcomed them. "I am Green Radiance County's county governor, Liu Qing. I hope that the fairies will forgive me when I arrive at Green Radiant County."

Senior Qian replied flatly, "There's no need to be so polite."

The fairies from Riverside Palace had naturally seen a big scene, so there was no need to mention Ma Chonglou, but he had never done so. Looking around, this was the majestic County Governor Manor, as well as the group of officials and nobles wearing official uniforms. This was the first time Dong Wuyan had ever seen anything like this.

Among the crowd, County Governor Liu, who was the most distinguished, yet the most diligent, had his head lowered and his waist bent. The benevolent looking old man, the man and woman behind him, the undressed aunt, and the young man carrying bottles and jars, all of them looked over.

Noticing the young man's gaze, Dong Baiyan felt a little embarrassed. He smiled at the young man and the young man looked at him.

Inside County Governor Manor, he placed everyone down. County Governor Liu said, "Fairies, you are here to resolve the crisis in my Green Light County. You truly have a heart of gold. You have to help the world."

Senior Sister Qian said with a smile, "County Governor, you are flattering me. I wonder why something strange has happened recently in the Green Brilliance County. Please explain it to me."

County Governor Liu coughed. "Sigh, I'll have to start from my family matters …"

When he told the matter of Qiao Zhuang Garden to Dong Dingyan and company, County Governor Liu sighed, "Sigh, that ghost had caused the death of my daughter, Qing Ran, and had also caused harm to the commoners in the county. I was helpless to do anything. I ask that the fairies remove the harm for my Qingyao County."

Senior Qian narrowed her eyes. "What kind of ability does a little water ghost have?"

County Governor Liu thought to himself. That's right. Why isn't that poor scholar dying completely? He's wasting so much time on things like this!

The benevolent elder answered on behalf of County Governor Liu, "That Qiao Zhuang Garden has some fortuitous encounters. Back then, I forced them to retreat and hide in the Cyan White River. However, from the looks of it, they must have advanced their cultivation during this period of time so that they could invade the county city and harm the citizens."

Without waiting for a reply from Senior Qian, Ma Zhen, who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed, opened them. He smiled and said to the benevolent looking elder, "I wonder if you can tell me about how you forced me to leave Qiao Zhuang Garden that day."

The old man was a bit surprised and quickly asked, "This is?"

Senior Qian looked at Ma Xin Xin and smiled. "This is an old friend of mine from Lin Jiang Palace. He likes to get rid of evil and promote kindness."

The benevolent elder clasped his hands. He recounted how he had forced back the Residence of Qiao and saved County Governor Liu.

When Ma Xin heard that, he slammed his hand on the table. Not only did he give County Governor Liu and company quite a fright, even Dong Shuiyan, who was beside him, gave Cao Wan'er a fright.

The furious Ma shouted from the bottom of his heart, "These ghosts really do many evil deeds. They want to force my daughter to death, and they want to kill my father. They want to do evil to the city and harm the people. If I don't eradicate them, then the heavens will not forgive me!"

County Governor Liu's face lit up as he stood up and bowed sincerely towards the horse. He said miserably, "I plead for Immortal Teacher to make a move and kill the demons!"

Ma Chenyi chuckled heartily and stood up as well. "County Governor, don't worry. Demon spirits. This old man shall rest for a day before heading to the Green White River tomorrow to capture that ghost and grind it to ashes!"

County Governor Liu was overjoyed. His words made him feel comfortable. Liu Qing kowtowed again and again. "Thank you, Immortal Teacher. After this is done, there will be great rewards!"

Ma Xin waved his hand sincerely. "Let's not talk about the rewards. However, I'll have to trouble the county governor to settle down for today."

"There's no need to say that. The immortal master has killed me. Today, I'm staying at my county governor's residence. I must be very hospitable!" County Governor Liu immediately called for people to arrange things.

After the meal was over, he escorted Dong Liuyan and company to their residence. County Governor Liu said to the scholars that were left behind, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged scholar thought for a moment, "Sir, from what I can see, Immortal Master Lin Jiang doesn't know, so why don't you see tomorrow? If Immortal Master Lin kills that little bastard, then naturally Master will be able to rest in peace, but if tomorrow the little bastard asks and the immortals have a letter, then Master …"

The middle-aged scholar frowned. "This is a little difficult …"

"Go to the Cyan White River tonight and ask it if it is confident that you can kill this group of immortal masters. Let it see tomorrow and hide so that no one can find any traces of them. If it's possible that the immortal master killed that little bastard tomorrow, then if the little beast asks, the immortal masters will listen in.

Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar shivered. "Sir, this … "This is someone from the Riverside Palace …"

After slapping the middle-aged scholar to the ground, the infuriated County Governor Liu shouted angrily, "Do you think I want to? Trash, who would have thought that the people from Riverside Palace would come at this time. If we don't get rid of them, what should we do?! If he dares to meddle in other people's business, he will have to pay the price! "Tell it, after we get rid of this group of people, what will happen if the Riverside Palace comes and asks? We'll blame all of this on that little bastard and tell him that the Riverside Palace fairy and that little bastard will perish together!"

The middle-aged scholar was trembling with fear. He did not dare contradict the furious county governor as he crawled up from the ground. He braced himself and went to prepare a horse to head for the Blue White River.

Inside County Governor Manor, Ma Xin opened his eyes from the bottom of his heart. From the moment he entered County Governor Manor, the elder felt that something was amiss. The majestic County Governor Manor was actually filled with a faint demonic aura.

That was why when Ma Xin entered County Governor Manor and used his spiritual sense to scan the entire place, the elder was not worried about being discovered. He was a cultivator that had climbed to the second level.

However, he only found a faint demonic aura and no other clues. After hearing the situation the elder was talking about, Ma Zhen felt that there was something strange. A water ghost that was forced back by a Spirit Condensation expert could endanger the entire Green Brilliance County? However, he wanted to see the reactions of the crowd behind the seats. As expected, his divine sense scanned the conversation between County Governor Liu and the middle-aged scholar.

Inside the room, Senior Qian asked, "It's really as Senior said. Is there something strange with County Governor Manor?"

Ma Xin narrated the scene he saw with his divine sense. Cao Wan'er was so infuriated that she wished she could pull out the thin sword at her waist and chop County Governor Liu into eight pieces.

Senior Qian walked the path of a martial artist, so her spiritual sense was not outstanding. However, for a Qi Condensation cultivator, even if Ma Zhen was caught off guard and got punched, he would still suffer!

Dong Shuiyan asked, "In that case, there's something else going on with Qiao Zhuang's Garden!"

Ma Xin nodded his head, "There's no time to lose, let's go to the Green White River and find out what's going on in the Residence of Qiao!"

At night, four figures walked out from County Governor Manor towards the Blue White River.

No one in County Governor Manor noticed him.

On the empty street, someone looked in the direction of the Clear Water River and laughed.

In a dilapidated old temple, an old scholar whose path could not be seen clearly at night lit a candle, took out a book from his book case, and under the light of the candle, began to read.

In the blue and white river, Qiao Zhuang's Garden hidden within the aquatic plants felt the movement by the green and white river, and quietly probed.

On the shore, the waves rotated and a several zhang long giant catfish swam in circles. The crab-demon that had a humanoid lower body stood beside a fat, pot-bellied toad-headed monster.

The toad demon king that came from the Cyan White River stuck out his tongue, lightly licking the middle-aged scholar who had rushed over.

The middle-aged man's body trembled as his disgusting tongue slowly coiled around his body, bringing with it a stench and viscous liquid.

The Toad King laughed lightly: "Why are you here alone, where's my blood and food? Could it be that you're my middle meal today? "

Extruding a smile, the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the county governor."

With a tremble, he relayed County Governor Liu's words word by word to the demon king in the Blue White River.

The toad king let go of the middle-aged scholar and its two eyes darted around.

"Riverside Palace?"
