"Small tricks, watch me break your spell!”
Liu Bowen waved his sleeve and tens of thousands of golden lights shot towards the city wall at lightning speed.
Boom!
The power of the Ghost Immortal was like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering. A golden light fiercely collided with the transparent wall of Qi, making a world-shaking sound. Then, with a pu sound, the wall of Qi created by the bamboo slip was shattered.
"Puchi!"
The moment the qi wall was broken, the bamboo slip turned into powder and disappeared. Ju Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with terror.
At the same time, County Magistrate Li Fu circulated the seal of Guangping County Token and the small red sword was swept away by the golden light. Like boiling water melting snow, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Ghost Immortal!"
Ju and Li turned pale with fright and shouted almost at the same time.
Liu Bowen took a few steps forward and advised the two of them,"The imperial court has lost its virtue for a long time, and the people of the world are in dire straits. The officials are muddle-headed and incompetent, and the eunuchs are evil in the Central Plains. The two of you are also people who have cultivated and know the principle of Yin and Yang. Now that the city is about to fall, why don't you take the opportunity to surrender and protect your families?”
"Humph! I respect you as a ghost immortal and don't want to say bad words, but there's no need to say anything about surrendering. Li Fu is indebted to the emperor, and my Li family of Wei County is also a pure family for generations. How can we surrender to thieves?”County Magistrate Li Fu saw that Liu Bowen was persuading him to surrender, so he immediately made his words firm and blocked the possibility of him surrendering.
On the other side, Ju Feng also spoke up,"Sir, since you've achieved success in your cultivation, why don't you serve the imperial court? Why did you follow the rebels and cause trouble?"”
Liu Bowen smiled faintly and said," There's no other reason. My family is just from a poor family. Even if I become a ghost immortal, I'm still a head lower than a son of an aristocratic family in the imperial court. The monarch regards the minister as his own hand and foot, and the minister regards the monarch as his confidant; The monarch regards the minister as a dog or a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. If the monarch treats his subjects like dirt, the subjects will treat the monarch like enemies. Why did you ask me to serve the Imperial Court?"
Ju Feng and Li Fu were speechless for a moment. This was an unsolvable topic. As the son of an aristocratic family, he would never give up the benefits of his own class. The sons of aristocratic families were filial and honest, and they were promoted faster than ordinary people. This was the benefit of their own class. They would not give up for nothing, and they could not give up.
If Han Jiazi did not want to endure humiliation, he could only change his fate through the war of iron and blood.
Zhang Xuan saw that the strongmen who had fallen off the ladder stood up and did not want to talk to the two people on the city anymore. He signaled for the strongmen to attack the city again.
Without the disturbance of the cultivators 'spells, the siege was extremely smooth. The defenders on the city seemed to be scared out of their wits by Liu Bowen's spells. Seeing that Jufeng and Li Fu were no match for him, the defenders did not resist much. Other than a few strong-willed soldiers who resisted slightly, most of the defenders abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The armored men were like bears and tigers. How could the county soldiers resist them? In less than 15 minutes, the entire Guangping City was under the control of Zhang Xuan's army.
After the battle, Zhang Xuan naturally occupied the Guangping County Yamen. He restrained the Yellow-scarved Strongmen from disturbing the rest of the city while ordering people to patrol the streets to prevent the city's hooligans from taking the opportunity to wreak havoc and tarnish the reputation of the Taiping Country Army.
" So this is the Guangping County Token Seal and the Guangping County Lieutenant Seal?" Zhang Xuan was a little fascinated by the luck contained in the two seals.
Guangping County Wei was not as brave as County Magistrate Li Fu. When he heard that the Taiping Road had just risen up, he hung the seal and left. After breaking the city, Zhang Xuan obtained these two seals.
Hearing that Ju Feng and Ju Shou were of the same clan, Zhang Xuan did not make things difficult for him and Li Fu. He only asked Liu Bowen to seal their souls with magic and lock them up in the county government so that they could not leave their bodies and cause trouble.
This battle could be said to be a great victory. None of the 500 Yellow Scarf Warriors died on the city wall. Only a few of them were hit by arrows. However, because they were all wearing armor, they were not hit in any vital parts. They were only superficial wounds. They only needed to be bandaged and treated. After a few days, they would be able to recover their combat strength.
Zhang Xuan handed over the other matters in the city to Liu Bowen and Yue Fei to take care of. He took over the granary of the county treasury, the arsenal, the collection of aristocratic families who did not believe in the Way of Peace, and the preparation of wine and meat to reward the soldiers. Zhang Xuan did not make any arrangements himself. Instead, he hid in the county government and prepared to collect and refine the fate of Guangping City.
"Ding! Do you wish to collect Guangping County Token's fate?"
"Collect!"
"Ding! Do you wish to collect Guangping County Lieutenant's Fate?”
"Collect!"
Almost at the same time, the Heavenly Book's voice sounded. Zhang Xuan took the luck of the county magistrate without thinking. In the void, there seemed to be two small red snakes that were absorbed by the Heavenly Book.
"Ding! You have the authority to activate the Tomes of Arcane three times. Activate the Lord's ability to absorb fate. Do you want to activate the authority?”
Zhang Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He immediately asked,"What exactly is the function of absorbing luck?”
"Ding! Can absorb fate energy to cultivate the divine soul or martial arts!”
So that was the case. Zhang Xuan had still underestimated the magical effects of the Heavenly Book. Summoning heroes and traveling the world was already very heaven-defying. Now, it even had the function of absorbing luck to cultivate. It was really terrifying.
"Use the aura of Guangping County Token to cultivate the soul!”
"Ding! He began to cultivate his divine soul! My lord, please be prepared!"
Zhang Xuan immediately calmed down and closed his eyes to visualize the Primal Aperture between his eyebrows. In an instant, his consciousness entered his soul.
The Tomes of Arcane opened instantly, releasing a small yellow snake shadow. Zhang Xuan circulated the Yellow Heaven Peace Scripture and rushed towards the snake. This yellow snake was the red snake Magistrate's Fate that was absorbed by the Tomes of Arcane. It was now transformed by the Tomes of Arcane, removing the resentment and distracting thoughts in it, leaving only pure Fate. It was pure and flawless, and could be absorbed directly for cultivation.
"Phew!"
It was extremely marvelous. Zhang Xuan felt that his divine soul was rapidly strengthening. He was originally a reborn soul. With two souls fused together, his divine soul was stronger than others. It also required a long time to cultivate. However, with the help of the Tomes of Arcane, it was completely different.
The pure and flawless Fate was quickly absorbed and refined by Zhang Xuan. Everything was harmonious. The officials of the imperial court could also use the Great Han Dynasty's Fate to cultivate, but they had to refine the resentment and distracting thoughts in the Fate themselves.
Therefore, those who were honest and upright would be able to cultivate faster than those who were greedy and despicable. Zhang Xuan did not need to refine the impurities of fate at all, which was very heaven-defying.
The night passed quickly. When the sun rose in the east, Zhang Xuan's eyes, which had been closed for the whole night, suddenly opened. Spiritual light shot out from them as if they were divine.
"Night tour!"
"In the modern society of my previous life, one could probably be called a living immortal.”
That's right. After Zhang Xuan absorbed the luck, he broke through to the Soul Seeker Realm overnight and entered the Night Wandering Realm.
