Twilight Boundary-Chapter 832 - 809: Three-headed Jiao Demon King

Not far away, Hu Ma watched this scene with much emotion: "I didn't expect the first credit to actually belong to sweet potato."

Back in Shangjing City, sweet potato relied on paper money to buy countless lives, and now it all resides with the three paper men beside her. Even she can hardly estimate how much weight these three paper men hold now.

She placed the paper men on the boat, suppressing the water's surface. This didn't really count as a confrontation; it merely prevented the things in the river from stirring up trouble.

Seeing the problem resolved, Ming King Yang Gong immediately ordered the boats to launch, with various leaders taking 2,000 soldiers aboard. Positioned on both sides, the main army moved in the center, providing mutual support and heading directly towards Huzhou.

Along the way, they encountered several disturbances, but the scattered remnants of bandits were no match for the Food Protection Army. Even those in the water were suppressed by the paper men; the boats, equipped with iron bottoms and emblazoned with talismans, kept the water's creatures at bay.

Even those who emerged from the water to cause harm were easily speared to death by the soldiers on the ship.

Having advanced for two days, they had entered the territory of Huzhou. While passing through a village, they saw people in ragged clothing kneeling on both sides, trembling and too afraid to look up, fearing the army would rob them or set fire to their houses.

To their surprise, the Food Protection Army was different from chaotic bandits, passing through the village without harming people or seizing grain. However, unexpectedly, some among the villagers secretly sent signals, suddenly ripping off their outer garments to reveal scarlet bellybands.

Each of them held knives, chanting incantations, and charged at the Food Protection General protected within the army.

This was because the village was a site containing a Magic Altar of the Niang'er Sect. Upon seeing the army approaching, loyal disciples gathered, seeking to assassinate Ming King Yang Gong.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the current commander was Left General Zhou Liang, leading a part of the Food Protection Army that had returned from Shangjing, bathed in Purple Qi, and truly elite.

Faced with the shouting demon people, Zhou Liang didn't even raise an eyelid while the Deputy General Zhao Zhu, holding a steel fork, stepped forward, took a sudden breath, raised his hand to his ribs, and then let out a tongue of spring thunder.

"Drink!"

With a deep shout, akin to a thunder sound, masculine energy accompanied by the military's killing intent resonated outwards.

The sinister aura on these demon people's scarlet bellybands was instantly blown away significantly, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

Then, Zhou Liang waved his hand grandly, and the Food Protection Army dispatched a unit of soldiers to strike with their spears, immediately impaling these demon people under their horses. The once-fearsome scarlet belly bands now seemed like ragged cloths.

A hundred-man team was dispatched, charging through the village a couple of times, swiftly exterminating the Niang'er Sect demon people and even finding and destroying the Magic Altar.

This swift and fierce action instantly instilled fear across the Jianghu path in Huzhou. Many who hoped to earn merit through assassination quieted down, swarming instead towards the Huzhou Prefecture Mansion.

When the army of the Food Protection Army, advancing with irresistible force, reached the lakeshore before the Huzhou Prefecture Mansion, they beheld the gigantic stone city looming ahead, emerging glistening dark under the lake's steam, with flags bearing terrifying auras towering above its walls.

Beneath the city, large forces had already gathered, with numerous ships aligned in strict formation, setting up a battle array.

As the two sides faced each other from a distance, atop a low mountain behind Hu Ma's grain protection army, he looked up to see, amid the billowing demon auras in the Huzhou Prefecture Mansion, a faint radiance emerging. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He felt a moment of reflection: "Having been reincarnated as a grasshead king, I ended up crafting my previous incarnation into this Fire God inside the Huzhou Prefecture Mansion."

Whether this Three-headed Jiao has a millennium of cultivation is debatable, but its cunningness is truly rare, making it just right for tempering this Treasure Seal in my possession, isn't it?

Subtly, he even sensed a faint resonance emanating from this Treasure Seal.

When seeking the first three characters, the Treasure Seal was passively receiving, but upon starting the search for the third character, the Treasure Seal itself began to exhibit spiritual traits.
