Chapter 117: The City Guard Arrives at the Door

  Zhang Shan drove the Lingzhou while reading the detailed introduction of the ship in the control room with his divine consciousness.

  It was learned that this spirit boat was named "Liang Yi Xing Shui" by the King of Mo, and the law array in the ship, in addition to consuming spiritual stones for flight, can also continuously absorb the surrounding heaven and earth yuanqi as power.

  What's even more formidable is that this ship can also absorb the star power of the two stars, Taiyang and Taishen, to transform it into energy.

  Due to Zhang Shan's realm being too low, although he refined this warship, currently he can only activate thirty-six layers of prohibition in its formation array, so the speed is only exerted at less than thirty percent, roughly only able to travel about 30,000 miles per day.

  However, low-speed flight also has its advantages, as long as it absorbs the surrounding heaven and earth yuanqi to satisfy the drive, it does not consume spiritual stones, which makes Zhangshan feel a lot more at ease, he was worried that this high-end goods would be a big spender.

  "This speed is also equivalent to the speed of the sect's transportation spirit boat, which is still very fast."

  Although he couldn't fully bring out the potential of this ship, Zhang Shan was still very satisfied.

  The day after, the Qingyang City was already far away in sight on the Tianqing mountain range.

  Zhang Shan landed the Star Shuttle somewhere in the mountains, retracted it, and then unfolded his body method to hurry towards Qingyang City.

  After entering the city, the first feeling is that the warriors inside are in a hurry, with an atmosphere of impending doom.

  "It's been half a month since I received news from Xing Yuebo about the changes in the situation of the two major families in Qingyang City, and adding to that, I've been stuck in the Maoling for about ten days this time. Has the struggle between the two families reached a boiling point?"

  Zhang Shan thought to himself and quickened his pace towards home.

  When he turned into the street where his home was located, he saw that a large group of people were surrounding the entrance to his house.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zhang Shan's heart sank, and his consciousness swept towards his home, sensing that several familiar auras were unharmed. A stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he slowed down his pace, walking forward, planning to quietly take a look at what had happened.

  Standing behind the crowd of onlookers, he gazed into the courtyard and saw a group of people blocking the front yard, holding knives, guns, clubs and other weapons.

  A man stood at the entrance of the front hall, talking to Zhang Cheng, the butler who was standing on the steps.

  These people's clothing are all city guard attire, apparently this matter is not simple.

  Zhang Shan furrowed his brow, but didn't go forward, instead patiently listening from outside.

  From their conversation, Zhang Shan finally understood what had happened.

  The Zhang family has a small iron mine, and all the income of the family comes from it.

  Mining naturally requires miners, and since mining is extremely hard work, it often happens that miners earn the money they need and then quit, so new recruits are also frequently needed.

  Half a month ago, several new miners were recruited. A few days ago, some of these new miners caused the mine to collapse while digging, resulting in casualties.

  The responsibility for the accident does not lie with the Zhang family, and afterwards, the manager Zhang Cheng also gave a large sum of consolation money. The families of the victims did not have any objections.

  But two days later, the families of the deceased miners suddenly filed a complaint with the city guard, accusing Zhang's family of intentionally killing these miners. The city guard, for some reason, took the relatives' words as true and today these soldiers came to arrest Zhang's mother, Xiao Yuqing.

  "Could it be that Castle Master Kang has gone mad, daring to send people to the Zhang family to capture someone? This matter is probably not simple." Zhang Shan thought coldly.

  He was recruited into the Xuantian Sect through the sect's selection tournament, and many ordinary people in the city knew about it. The city master, Kang Qiusheng, couldn't possibly not know, he would only understand it even more clearly.

  And what's more, in Kang Qiu Sheng's eyes, the death of ordinary people like miners doesn't even count as a fart.

  Let's not say that this matter is not the fault of the Zhang family, even if it were, with his current identity as a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect, how could someone with the surname Kang afford to offend the Zhang family for the sake of a few ordinary people?

  What's even more absurd is that today they actually sent soldiers over to arrest his mother. Is Kang Qiu Sheng tired of living?

  So this thing, if it's said that there was no one behind him directing and supporting him, it simply couldn't have happened.

  Zhang Shan's mind involuntarily floated up the name of the Shen Tu family, "Could this be the Shen Tu family's conspiracy? But what's the use of that? Would the Shen Tu family dare to openly harm their own family members?"

  If there was an opportunity, Zhang Shan believed that the Shentu family would not hesitate to destroy his entire family, but on the surface, they did not dare to do so. Otherwise, without Zhang Shan taking action himself, the first thing the sect's Law Enforcement Hall would not let them off would be...

  Just as he was thinking about what was behind this, he saw a dozen or so people appear from the other side of the courtyard and walk towards the city guards.

  The leading man was Zhang Shan, who recognized him as a guard captain of the Situ family, named Qu Mingda, loyal and reliable.

  He nodded and knew this person should be the guard stationed next door by the Situ family.

  According to Sito Qingwan, there was a side door between the front yard of their own house and the neighboring yard. The guards at the Sito's house would come over from that side every day and take turns standing watch in their own home.

  Captain Qu seems to have received the news and brought everyone over.

  Qu Mingda came down with his hands and stood still in front of the steps, nodding to Zhang Cheng, the housekeeper.

  Then he turned his head and looked at the leader of the city guard, saying: "Shen Tu Cheng Li, you shouldn't be unclear about what kind of place this is. How dare you bring people here to cause trouble?"

  "Of course I know what this place is. This is a place under the jurisdiction of Tianqing Prefecture, and as a hundred generals of the city's defense army, what official business would I not dare to come for?"

  The person known as Shentu Chengli burst out laughing and said.

  "Are all of you Shentu family members out of your minds? Causing trouble at the residence of Young Master Zhang, let alone being a distant branch of the Shentu family, even if you were a direct descendant, you wouldn't be able to get away with it!" Qu Mingda said coldly.

  "Your surname is Qu, you're mistaken. I'm here on the orders of the city master to capture Xiao Suixin, the main culprit behind the death of the miners. This has nothing to do with my family, the Shentus."

  As he spoke, he unfolded a document in his hand: "This is a letter signed by Lord Kang, the city master. Take a good look at it. You'd better not interfere with other people's business, you surname Qu."

  Qu Ming's eyes revealed an unexpected expression: "So old thing Kang Qiusheng has already defected to your Shen Tu family? Truly, he doesn't know the character for death."

  Shen Tu Cheng Li sneered: "You, with the surname Qu, are just a dog of the Situ family. You dare to slander Lord Cheng, humph! The Situ family won't be able to jump around for much longer either. In my opinion, this dog of yours won't live for much longer either."

  Qu Mingda's face sank: "Then let's see about that. Now, get out of the Zhang estate!"

  Shen Tu Cheng Li's eyes flashed, and he shouted sternly: "Do you dare to stop me from performing my official duties? Do you believe that I will kill you right now?"

  With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him drew their weapons: "I don't care about your official or personal business, if you want to take Mrs. Xiao away, first get past me."

  "You're looking for death, are you? Alright, brothers, take care of this, slaughter these scoundrels who dare to obstruct official business. After the deed is done, the Lord of the City will surely reward us heavily."

  Shen Tu Cheng Li sneered and gave a loud order. The city guards all shouted loudly as they charged towards Qu Mingda's bodyguards.

  "Shen Tu Cheng Li, you dare?"

  Qu Mingda angrily drew out the long knife on his back.

  Shen Tu Cheng Li sneered and drew out the sword from his waist, stabbing it towards him in one swift motion.

  "Tigers don't show off their might, you think I'm a sick cat? Qū Míngdá, old man is sending you to reincarnate today."
