Chapter 861: Chapter 455: You Don’t Regret Your Sins—You Know You’re Going to Die!
The Dragon Tiger Hall Master grimaced in pain, but in his heart, he increasingly felt that destiny was unavoidable. Surely, there would be more demons and ghosts appearing in Daxia in the future.
He looked around and then called upon his most trusted disciple, and left first with his valuables.
Only by quickly fleeing far from Changle County would the Dragon Tiger Hall Master feel slightly at ease.
Meanwhile, fifty miles outside the county, in a large military camp.
The Jianwu General, stationed there to suppress the bandits, also received reports from his scouts.
He heard that Governor Zhang had died.
The general also felt the gravity of the situation.
A prefectural governor had been killed, and by a single person at that!
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, those high-ranking officials above certainly wouldn’t believe it.
They were highly likely to consider it a conspiracy.
And he himself might just be a pawn caught up in it.
“Damn it! That Su Juxia truly deserves to die!”
“How dare he? That was a prefectural governor! A fifth-grade civil official of the dynasty!”
“Quickly muster the troops and follow me to kill that notorious villain!”
The Jianwu General rose and also called for a clerk, ordering him to immediately start drafting a letter to inform the bigwigs in the state mansion about the situation, and to ensure it was noted that as soon as he received the news, he began mobilizing the troops.
As for whether this military action would fail.
After thorough investigation, the Jianwu General was also unwilling to engage in a fight with Su Juxia.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of battle either if it came to it.
He merely thought it was most likely that after Su Juxia did all this, he was already preparing to flee into the mountains and forests.
He is now dispatching troops merely as a formality to avoid responsibility.
After this, it would be up to the government to send out arrest warrants and mobilize masters to search the mountains.
He would at most send some subordinates to cooperate and show that he had tried his best.
After all, from his perspective.
Even if Su Juxia had broken through to become a first-class master or even a grandmaster.
And had innate divine strength, with endurance far surpassing normal people.
After such intense battles, killing so many masters and soldiers, he should have reached his physical limits by now.
If he could keep fighting, he would be more terrifying than any king or duke in the storybooks.
At the Su Family residence.
Su Ping, as an avatar, returned home and continued eating.
He completely ignored the admiring glances from the people of the Su Family around him.
Of course, during this period, there were also some of the scholarly members of the Su Family, timidly muttering about how the Old Ancestor had killed the governor, and wondering what to do in the future.
To this, Su Ping, as an avatar, purely shouted: “Get lost!”
The targeted sound wave immediately ruptured the eardrums of those few unworthy descendants, causing them to flee in panic, bleeding from their ears and rolling on the ground.
After eating and drinking his fill, Su Ping, as an avatar, meditated and cultivated for a while.
He found that the sky had already turned to dusk.
The setting sun was like blood.
Under the blood-red light, a large shadow appeared outside the door.
It was General Jianwu arriving with his five thousand soldiers.
As the regular army of the dynasty.
General Jianwu commanded an official troop count of thirty thousand.
But due to various reasons.
His camp actually had only seven thousand five hundred soldiers.
Half of them could only wave flags and shout, suitable for following victory, and the other half could form a battle array.
Among the battle soldiers, the ones who could truly fight were his five hundred mounted house servants.
Do not underestimate these mere five hundred mounted troops. In many places across the Daxia Dynasty, such a force is quite formidable, serving as a backbone against bandits and a deterrent to various local powers.
When utilized properly, they could topple enemy forces ten or even several tens of times their own number, which was not an unusual feat.
Likewise, they were the apple of General Jianwu’s eye.
He sincerely wished not to lose them, unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, when he heard that Su Juxia hadn’t fled!
He was quite surprised and frustrated.
This damned fellow, after taking so long to organize his troops, why hadn’t he run away yet?
