Chapter 110 The Third Elder: A Mind That Makes Your Scalp Numb!
Jiangnan
Suzhou Prefecture
Merchants flocked here, and all kinds of goods were sold everywhere.
When talking about the prosperous areas in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou is a city that is hard to avoid.
Not only is the scenery pleasant, but there are also a large number of workshops.
The value of the weaving workshops scattered throughout Suzhou city alone is inestimable.
This is the most popular product secretly smuggled overseas by Jiangnan families.
The imperial court even set up a special weaving office to manage this industry.
It’s the seventh day of the first lunar month and the New Year atmosphere has not yet passed.
Outside Suzhou
“Boom!” “Boom!”
The messy horse hooves broke the festive atmosphere.
From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud rising.
There are at least five thousand cavalry.
Behind the cavalry, there are a large number of infantry.
It’s just that these people are dressed in a mixed manner.
A few wore Domaru, a Japanese samurai armor.
There are also Okekawa vests, wood pieces, cloth armor, and more are just miscellaneous clothing.
“Japanese pirates!”
“The Japanese pirates are coming!”
“Close the city gate! Close the city gate!”
In recent years, Japanese pirates have been causing more and more trouble along the coast of Daqian, especially in the Jiangnan area.
Seeing this scene, the guards on the city wall didn’t care about anything else.
They quickly rang the bell to sound the alarm and had the city gates closed.
Soon, the army arrived at the city, with more than 30,000 soldiers.
The Japanese pirates were all a group of desperate criminals, even if they were not properly dressed.
A solemn and murderous aura also came over me.
“Hahaha, you coward from Daqian, how dare you go out of the city to fight!”
The Japanese pirate warrior leading the cavalry rode his horse directly to the foot of the city.
He shouted in the Daqian official language with a strange tone.
I still feel unsatisfied after saying it.
He drew out the Japanese sword from his waist and chopped it down.
The three-meter-long blade light was like a silk thread, heavily slashing on the city wall.
He actually has the strength equivalent to the third realm.
Japanese martial arts were passed down from the Middle-earth Kingdom, but they are more radical than Daqian’s current martial arts.
From the beginning of practice, he adopted a large amount of almost self-abuse methods to squeeze out his potential.
The method to break through the realm is also extremely crude.
This method has a much higher initial training speed than Daqian Martial Arts, but it also creates the side effect of insufficient potential.
The proportion of warriors who can cultivate to the third level is much lower than that of Daqian.
Moreover, both lifespan and combat power are far inferior to those who are born with martial arts.
He doesn’t even have the most basic martial arts will.
It can be said to be the weakest in the third realm.
But most of the defenders on Suzhou City’s walls were warriors at the first or second level of physical training, and nearly half of them didn’t even have any martial arts skills.
I have never seen such power before.
They were immediately frightened and screamed in panic.
“Hahaha!”
“Cowardly Daqian people!”
“Accept your fate of being plundered!”
This performance undoubtedly greatly boosted the arrogance of the Japanese pirates under the city.
Thousands of cavalrymen flew across the city in a show of force, and then returned to the flank of the Japanese pirate army.
……
“Sir, the gates of Suzhou are closed.”
“Please tell me what to do next, sir!”
In the center of the Japanese pirate army, a man dressed as a samurai rode forward on his horse.
He respectfully asked a middle-aged man in a white Confucian robe.
This middle-aged man is none other than him.
It was the third elder of the White Lotus Sect!
“The Suzhou City garrison only has 20,000 soldiers, 3,000 of whom are idle. Excluding the old and weak, there are only 10,000 soldiers who can fight.”
“The owners of the Zhang and Wang families, two cloth merchants in the city, are followers of my religion…”
“The younger brother of Patriarch Zhang is the deputy garrison commander of Suzhou City… I sent someone to contact him secretly the day before yesterday.”
“Even if Jia Cong pacifies Shandong, what’s the use of it? Wait until he plunders Suzhou City.”
“Not only have all the losses of the Holy Church been made up, but the Holy Church has also gained more than 20 martial arts innates!”
The third elder was very proud.
Many of the White Lotus’s secret methods are inseparable from the blood sacrifice of living people. This is why they often stir up trouble and unrest in secret.
Just like sifting out poison.
Just talking about this time.
Even though Jia Cong pacified the armies of Qingzhou and Laizhou, the masters suffered heavy losses.
There are still more than twenty martial arts innates.
As for the elite followers of the acquired level, there are as many as three hundred of them.
It greatly expanded the backbone strength of the White Lotus Sect.
“If we delay, something unexpected will happen. We must break the city quickly!”
“With the help of both inside and outside forces, we will capture Suzhou City within one hour and plunder it within five hours.”
“Evacuate the city before sunset!”
“No matter how powerful Jia Cong’s schemes are, I can’t wait to see him become powerless and furious.”
After the third elder finished speaking, he flew up.
More than thirty White Lotus masters hurriedly followed behind him.
More than twenty martial arts wills appeared, each in a different form.
In an instant, the situation outside Suzhou city became turbulent.
The terrifying power swept in all directions.
At this moment, hundreds of heads were suddenly thrown out of the city.
Hanging on the top of the city wall with a rope.
“Elder, this is…”
When a White Lotus Sect spiritual cultivator saw the appearance of the human head clearly, he was stunned.
“The heads of the entire Zhang and Wang families, cloth merchants!”
After saying this, the third elder was also shocked!
I couldn’t help but have an uneasy feeling in my heart.
The White Lotus Sect has been established for a thousand years, and has many unconventional methods of blood sacrifice that can quickly improve strength.
If the price is high enough, it is possible to extend lifespan.
There are believers who have been secretly developed in various parts of Daqian.
It’s just that this list of believers is usually only known to the real high-ranking officials in the church.
The Dharma protectors and Dharma Kings under them will only know when they are needed.
How could it be exposed for no reason?
Before the Third Elder could come to his senses, a voice came from the city.
“Thirty thousand Japanese pirates?”
“No wonder the White Lotus Sect has been eradicated despite repeated crackdowns by successive dynasties.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the White Lotus Sect’s headquarters has already crossed the sea to Japan, right?”
A demonic cloud rose.
Dabai flew out of Suzhou City carrying Jia Cong.
Standing beside him was Baochai, who had been inseparable from him recently.
……
“Jia Cong, why are you here?”
Seeing this scene, the third elder’s sense of uneasiness and alarm suddenly increased tenfold.
No matter what, I didn’t expect Jia Cong to appear here.
“I have to say, your calculations are indeed superior.”
“On the day Kong Chengxiang died, I went to the scene to investigate.”
“Killed by a sharp sword, according to common sense, a swordsman should move lightly and thrust it three inches into the throat!”
“But although the wound on Kong Chengxiang’s neck was caused by a sword, the method used was a knife method, and it was different from Daqian’s usual knife method.”
“More like using a Japanese sword!”
“Since then, I have had doubts.”
Jia Cong said calmly.
To put it bluntly, it is cognitive impairment.
In this world, many techniques of Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism can be used to solve cases by tracing back clues from the scene.
The government is also accustomed to using this method.
As for the coroners in the yamen, perhaps the most skilled ones can see something wrong, but they are of low status and their words are not taken seriously.
Without sufficient martial arts training and knowledge, it is impossible to explain why this thing is wrong.
Only Jia Cong, who came from another world, had a fundamental difference in thinking habits.
Coupled with the mysteries of Shinto, the power of the divine eye evolved from divine power is used to assist.
“It was not until I discovered your White Lotus Sect’s hidden agents in the White Deer Academy outside of Jinling City that I figured out everything.”
“No matter what, Kong Chengxiang is from the Kong family.”
“How can ordinary people know his whereabouts!”
“Then there is only one conclusion…”
Please give me monthly votes, everyone!
