Fang Qingyun, bored out of his mind, yawned. The grand event of the Spring Festival was less than an hour away, and thankfully, they had finished all the preparatory work ahead of time, and everything had been arranged properly, there had been no accidents so far in the Spring Festival.

During the day, Fang Qingyun had heard that a large elephant had fallen into the water and then flew out of it. He sent people to warn them that flying without permission within the county was too dangerous, and any demon beasts entering the city without registering needed to duly register their presence.

Such minor incidents had occupied Fang Qingyun for the entire day.

“I hope nothing happens tonight, hope there won’t be anyone starting a bonfire leading to a forest fire, hope there won’t be any stampede incidents because of theaters, hope there will not be any street fights because of

jealousy…”

Fang Qingyun went on and on, listing out incidents that had happened in previous years.

“Qingyun, I’ll leave first.” County Lord Li bid farewell to Fang Qingyun before leaving.

“Take care.” Fang Qingyun was even more respectful to County Lord Li than usual. He had heard that no leaders were appointed from above this time, and he was able to replace County Lord Li’s position, thank to the kind words from County Lord Li.

Such a favor should not be forgotten.

Ordinarily, County Lord Li wouldn’t need to be here during the Spring Festival. But his presence would showcase his hard work, which would create a good impression when the word got out.

County Lord Li always cared about his reputation. He found that complimenting people was a much easier path to promotion than doing the actual work.

Promotions also had requirements for realm, which was an unspoken rule in the bureaucracy.

“Soon, once I advance to the Nascent Soul Stage today, regardless of whether it is the identity of the County Magistrate or the Rudder Master, everything will change.” Thinking about this, County Lord Li’s steps became even lighter.

He walked into a small alley, changed his face, and put on a mask. Even if someone were to take off the mask, they would assume it was his actual face and would not suspect that it was in fact County Lord Li.

Walking along the line of righteousness and evil required caution.

With his talent, he really shouldn’t have been able to cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core. His current achievements were thanks to his ability to mingle in both righteous and evil paths and to utilize resources that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In recent years, he realized he had reached a bottleneck, and it was impossible for him to reach the Nascent Soul Stage through normal methods. To take a step further in both status and realm, he thought of the Reverse Life Array.

“It’s strange, the inspector should have arrived in Yanjiang County before noon today, why he hasn’t come yet?”

County Lord Li, no, after putting on the mask, he became Master Chu. Master Chu was somewhat dissatisfied with the inspector’s tardiness. He had specifically told the inspector to arrive before noon today, and he had a surprise in store for him.

The so-called surprise was to activate the Reverse Life Array with the inspector, and simultaneously enhance the realms of both of them.

“Did something unexpected happen? I purposely waited until the time when most people were present to activate the grand array, well, if he’s not coming, I will advance the realm by myself.”

Off the beaten track of Song Mountain, trees were thriving, and the mountain paths were created by step-by-step footprints of travelers. Those who came to play during the Spring Festival would not come to such a place in Song Mountain for fun.

Master Chu, hiding his aura, headed towards Song Mountain. The further he walked, the less people there were, until there was no one at the foot of Song Mountain.

Eventually, he stopped in a flat area. The branches around were hanging with talismans different from the usual Reverse Life Talismans, which served as array eyes.

He sat cross-legged, adjusting his state, quietly waiting for the moment of the array’s activation. He had sent six managers to carry out the essence blood sacrificial task. According to the calculation, the time was just right now!

“Reverse Life Array, rise!” Master Chu lifted his hands to the sky to activate the Array Method.

Centered on him, the silent power of the array spread outwards, stopping at a certain place.

“Someone pulled out the flag!” Master Chu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what had happened.

This was not an accidental removal of one or two flags. The other party definitely knew something about the Reverse Life Array, or they couldn’t have been so precise!

“Who is it? Someone from the government office? No, it’s not possible, I would have known about any actions from the government office.”

“An unknown traveler? Or is it… Lu Yang who has seen the Reverse Life Array! ”

Lu Yang behaved differently from common people, it was possible for him to do something like this!

Master Chu’s eyes grew colder, this was tantamount to searing off his own way forward, worse than being killed!

“Eh, is that the person you think I am in your heart, Master Chu? Lu Yang s laissez-faire voice sounded nearby.

“Lu Yang!” Master Chu boiled with anger when he saw Lu Yang, “Don’t think that I can’t kill you just because the Master appreciates you. It’s too common for a Demon Cultivator to die unexpectedly. You gave me such a reason!”

Lu Yang thought for a while and said seriously: “Didn’t you say that you wanted me to stir things up during Spring Festival? I thought that the biggest thing I could do was to take down the County Magistrate. Isn’t it a coincidence, that after following the County Magistrate for several days, we found out that you are the county magistrate?”

“I thought I should follow through with it and take you down. Isn’t this also in line with the tradition of our demonic sect of rebelling from the bottom to the top?” Lu Yang said with a grin.

“You’re courting death!” Master Chu boiled with rage.

“Of course not, I still want to live forever.”

“A mere cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage dares to talk big here. Die!” Master Chu struck out angrily with one palm. His palm wind was horrifying, capable of causing destruction, causing all the trees it struck to be pulverized!

Lu Yang escaped this strike by shrinking the earth beneath him, but when Master Chu stomped his right foot down, the whole earth was overturned, causing Lu Yang to be thrown out as well.

Lu Yang was shocked. This was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, who had just sent him flying with a single kick.

“Tsk, he’s tough to deal with.”

Master Chu, like a thunderclap, rushed towards Lu Yang at a flying speed, with a fist as fast as the wind, ready to pound Lu Yang into a pulp.

The Green Peak Sword was horizontally placed in front of Lu Yang, with the sword blade standing vertically. As long as Master Chu dared to strike down, the Green Peak Sword could shave off his fist bone!

Master Chu immediately withdrew his fist, kicked with his foot, and Lu Yang, who had anticipated this, kicked out as well, both feet collided and Lu Yang was sent flying out!

Master Chu attacked once again, but found that his spiritual power was as if chained, and he could not summon it at all.

“A Forbidden Spirit Array with the same effect as a large cell, you really do understand Array Method!” Master Chu glared at Lu Yang, even though he couldn’t use his spiritual power, but with his physical defense, Lu Yang couldn’t hurt him at all!

The Forbidden Spirit Array was temporarily set up by Lan Ting, and Lu Yang’s goal was to lure Master Chu here.

Lu Yang smiled, waved goodbye to Master Chu.

Master Chu looked around and noticed nothing unusual, when suddenly, he looked up and saw a flying boat suspended overhead.

A flying boat that Meng Jingzhou had just bought from the business association.

Now it was night, and the shadows on Song Mountain made it hard to see anything. Otherwise, Master Chu would have noticed that he was in the shadows already.

The sky above the Forbidden Spirit Array also had no spiritual force. The flying boat lost power and plummeted. Meng Jingzhou, with a parachute on his back, jumped out.

The flying boat was too large, and Master Chu couldn’t use the spiritual force, so his speed was limited and he couldn’t dodge. Lu Yang calculated the distance and hid far away.

Like a meteor, the flying boat dropped from the low altitude, crashing towards Master Chu!

Boom!

The flying boat fell, lifting up endless dust, making a thunderous noise. The whole Song Mountain felt the tremor.

There seemed to be explosives in the flying boat. At the moment of falling, the explosives were detonated, and a fire rose to the sky, deafening!

Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou a thumbs-up: “It’s good to have money, buy a flying boat whenever you want!”

Meng Jingzhou also gave a thumbs-up: “If there were more than one flying boat in the merchant’s possession, I would have bought a few more!”

None of the magic artifacts in the business association’s possession could match a crashing flying boat.

Fang Qingyun, who was basking in the peacefulness of time, saw a flying boat falling and was so frightened that he nearly had a heart attack.

“Are you messing with me?!”
