Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 135 Jade Face Qing Jiu
Searching the mountain is a tough job, as the mountains and rivers are dangerous and difficult to navigate, especially the Siti Peak, which is steep and even more difficult to navigate.

Jiang Yue originally planned to use the reputation of using civilians to catch water monsters to wipe out all the martial arts people to prevent them from discovering the Dragon Binding Rope. But it turned out that there was actually an Elder Hao who was smart and survived Jiang Yue's hands.

In this way, Jiang Yue was happy to use this handle to control Elder Hao and others, as well as the third-level warriors under their command who came with them this time, and let them search the mountain.

Moreover, these people are well-known figures in the martial arts world of Huichun Prefecture, and controlling them may be useful in the future.

Elder Hao and the other three surviving Fourth Realm Elders slowly left with their own Third Realm Elders. Jiang Yue recorded everything that happened today. No matter if they were the Fourth Realm Elders or the Third Realm Guardians, everyone present had a copy of it. They would probably not be able to escape Jiang Yue's control in the future.

In the government hall, all the officials, both civil and military, looked at Jiang Yue with incredulous eyes.

Everything that happened today was really too much of a shock to them.

Killing the four realms, forcing them to kill each other, and finally making all the martial artists leave obediently, it was like a dream to everyone.

Jiang Yue sat on the main seat, very satisfied with today's events. He said loudly: "The martial artists will soon withdraw from the water palace and go to the mountains to search for monsters. The water and agricultural departments should be prepared and ready to start work at any time."

"As for everyone in the martial arts hall, wait for the martial artists to take the lead, and follow the small flag to search the mountain and find the three monsters of pig, cow and dog as soon as possible. If you find one, notify me immediately to kill it!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Officials from both the civil and military halls bowed in unison.

They unconditionally agreed with Jiang Yue's words.

After a while, the martial artists led by Elder Hao returned to the government hall again. This time they had more blood on their bodies, and they brought with them the corpses of eighteen fifth-level shrimp soldiers. It was obvious that they had killed all the disciples from other families.

"My Lord, this is everything we found from the remains of the Water Palace."

Several elders bowed in unison. They had prepared themselves mentally and were now much more respectful to Jiang Yue. At least on the surface, they were very respectful to Jiang Yue.

Elder Hao continued, "Sir, we have gathered our disciples and are ready to be deployed at any time. May I ask when we will enter the mountain to search it?"

"Right now."

Jiang Yue stood up and said in a deep voice: "Fifteen small flags, bring your own hawks and dogs, and follow me into the mountains! All the captains and runners, except those assigned to daily patrols, should also follow me into the mountains."

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

shhhhh--

A group of warriors followed Jiang Yue out of the yamen lobby, and Elder Hao and others also followed Jiang Yue, following closely.

The Qiankun bag flashed with light, and Jiang Yue collected the eighteen shrimp soldier corpses in the yamen courtyard.

Jiang Yue looked at Elder Hao and said with a smile: "Elder Hao, you martial artists originally grew up in the mountains, so this time we have to rely on you to search the mountains."

"Cough cough."

Elder Hao coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, sir. This time, we, the disciples of our sect, will spare no effort to search the mountain and rush to the front. We will definitely help you find the location of the monster. If you can't get there in time, the three of us old guys will shamelessly help you get rid of the monster."

"So good."

Jiang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Elder Hao is a smart man. It's easy to talk to a smart man."

"Your Excellency, you have given me a reward."

Elder Hao bowed slightly and continued to follow Jiang Yue.

A group of people walked through the county town, Jiang Yue walked in front, Xiaotian was called out and followed Jiang Yue, Xuntian had already spread his wings and flew high above the Siti Peak. Behind Jiang Yue were three elders, fifteen small flags, all of whom were accompanied by hawks and dogs, as well as many constables and yamen runners.

After leaving the city, outside were the third-level warriors from the Yin-Yang Sect, Yaowang Valley, and Cuixin Sect, as well as the second-level and first-level disciples. They were so mighty that at a glance, there were more than a hundred people from the three sects combined.

These ordinary disciples did not understand why they had to obey the government's orders and cooperate with the government. However, their own elders and protectors had strictly required it, so they would definitely obey the orders, but they still had a bit of disdain on their faces.

They all thought that this situation occurred because their elders and guardians had reached some kind of agreement with the mountain patrol commander.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Yue glanced at them and said with a smile: "What arrogant disciples! As expected of one of the eight great sects, there are so many talented people."

"Your Excellency, you have given me a reward."

Elder Hao smiled bitterly, and the elders from the Cuixin Sect and the Yaowang Sect also smiled apologetically, cursing Jiang Yue a thousand times in their hearts.

Before Jiang Yue could speak, Elder Hao was very self-conscious and said, "All Yin Yang Sect disciples, search the mountain to find the location of the pig monster, cattle monster, and dog monster. The area is near the Four Hoof Peak."

After he finished speaking, Elder Hao asked for credit and said to Jiang Yue, "Sir, we in the Yin-Yang Sect know how to see the aura, so we can search the mountain much faster than the disciples of other sects. For example, I can see the aura of any demon that appears within a 3,000-meter radius and detect it in advance."

"As for the disciples, the range may only be a hundred meters in radius, or five hundred meters in radius for the stronger ones, but it is still much better than simply searching with the naked eye."

Elder Hao was sincere and unreserved, even to the point of specifying the range in meters, which stunned the elders from the Cuixin Sect and the Yaowang Sect.

No, weren’t they forced to be dogs because they were given evidence?
Why does Elder Hao seem to be eager to be a dog?
The two elders were very confused, but they also hurriedly explained: "My lord, I am from the Heart Destroying Sect, and I master the killing method. I don't have any other special skills, but I am very good at attacking and killing. If an ordinary person in the fourth realm is hit by my Heart Destroying Palm, no matter how much armor he wears, it will be useless. His internal organs will explode and he will die in an instant."

"Oh? Heart-destroying palm, ignoring the surface defense, the force penetrates directly into the body, directly destroying tendons and severing meridians?"

Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows. This Heart-Destroying Palm was somewhat similar to his own Water Dragon Chant. He could take a look at it later.

"Sir, my Yaowang Sect is mainly proficient in medicinal materials. If you need decoctions, medicinal baths, or other medicinal materials, you can come to my Yaowang Sect and tell me my name. All the medicinal materials are free."

The elders of the Yaowang Sect were very familiar with Elder Hao, otherwise they would not have followed Elder Hao to kill the four realms of other sects in an instant.

Now the Medicine King Sect elder also figured out some clues, because he knew that Elder Hao was not someone who could be easily pleased, and that Jiang Yue must have some tricks that they could not see, so he simply handed Jiang Yue a token to show his submission.

"Sir, you can use this token to get medicine from any pharmacy marked with the Medicine King's seal, free of charge."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue took the token and looked at it. On it were written the six words "Medicine King Valley, Qin Haihe".

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Qin."

Jiang Yue took the token and said with a smile: "There is no time to lose. Everyone should lead the disciples and start searching the mountain."

At this point, Jiang Yue paused and continued, "I have sent you the maps. You should plan your own routes to search the mountain. Don't miss any corner. If I find out that you are pretending to obey me but actually disobeying me, you will stay in the mountains forever. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The three elders nodded in agreement and took out the map to study it with each other. Finally, they divided the Siti Peak into three parts and planned a search route to ensure that there was no overlap and that the entire mountain could be covered.

After completing the plan, the three elders explained their respective routes to Jiang Yue.

"Well, it's okay. Go ahead. If you find a monster, ignite the signal in your hand immediately."

Jiang Yue waved his hand.

"Yes, my lord!"

The three elders brought their disciples, took the signal guns used for communication, and headed straight into the forest. After a short while, they disappeared into the vast forest.

"Sir, when are we going?" asked the little flag with the broken arm respectfully.

"Not urgent."

Jiang Yue rubbed his brows and said, "Let's release the eagle first and observe the situation carefully. Wait for two days. If there is no danger after two days, we will go into the mountain again."

"Sir, are you afraid of the situation in Taohua County Court?"

The broken-armed flag hesitated.

"That's right. If the Jade-faced Fox of the Beast God Cult is hiding in the mountains, we will probably suffer a great loss if we go in. Let's let the martial artists explore first. If it's not in the mountains, that would be the best. We can just wipe out the monster."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I don't mind, but after thinking about it, I think it's better to be careful. After all, you have wives and children, and you are not tools that can be consumed and regenerated."

"Thank you for your consideration!"

The little flags' eyes turned red, and they knelt on one knee, saluted to Jiang Yue with their fists clasped.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

Jiang Yue waved his hand and said, "We will stay here for two days to see the effect of searching the mountain."

"Yes, my lord!"

The flags answered respectfully.

A group of people stood outside the forest, goshawks were circling in the sky, hunting dogs were sitting quietly beside their owners, and everyone was looking at the mountains and rivers in front of them, waiting for the signal to sound.

There are special decrees on the tokens of the Sky Patrol Officers that can communicate with the Goshawk, so once Wulin’s signal appears, they can instantly determine the location, communicate with the Goshawk to lock onto the target, and quickly chase after it.

Once they arrive at the place, the hunting dogs will remember the scent, and then they will chase it for thousands of miles. The hunting dogs raised by the Sky Patrol will remember the scent, and will be hunted for the rest of their lives unless they escape into the water.

Time is ticking away.

There was no signal coming from the mountain for a long time. If Jiang Yue had not been able to see warriors moving forward in the mountains through the sky-patrolling perspective, he would have almost thought that this group of people were all dead.

A day passed with no results.

Two days passed and still no findings.

Three days later, the martial artists had searched the entire forest of Siti Peak thoroughly, but still found nothing.

Jiang Yue didn't believe it, so he led people to search the mountain. They almost searched the entire Siti Peak, but still couldn't find any trace of the dog, pig, and cow monsters.

Afterwards, Jiang Yue even communicated with the patrol chief in charge of Manniu Ridge, but learned that the other party had been stationed between Siti Peak and Manniu Ridge to prevent the situation in the Nine Counties from deteriorating again, and did not find any monsters passing through.

"Fuck, where are the dog, pig, and cow monsters? Did they all evaporate?"

Jiang Yue turned Siti Peak upside down, but he couldn't find the three demons, let alone their nest.

This situation made Jiang Yue a little unsure.

"Sir, perhaps these demons heard that you killed two third-level bull demons and thought you were very powerful, so they just ran away."

When they came out of the forest again and gathered in front of Yuqing County, Xiaoqi with the broken arm saw Jiang Yue's solemn expression and couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

"Do not."

Jiang Yue waved his hand and said, "Let me ask you, are these three land monsters the only ones in the Nine Counties?"

"Yes, sir."

The little flag with the broken arm replied, "Sir, these three demons have ruled the nine counties of Yuqing for more than 30 years. They have bred many tribesmen and almost eaten up all the edible things in the Four Hoof Peak. The beasts and precious medicines are almost extinct. Any beasts that pose a threat to them will be killed before they grow up."

"Well, this shows that they have regarded the Nine Counties as their own territory, and they will not leave."

Jiang Yue narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Either he is dead, or he is brewing a deeper conspiracy."

"Sir, are you talking about the Jade-faced Fox, Qing Jiu?"

The broken-armed flag hesitated and said, "Beast God Cult?!"

"Yes."

Jiang Yue sighed and said helplessly: "These three demons are all guarded by fourth-level old demons. They are quite powerful. They will either be recruited by the Beast God Cult or be killed by the Beast God Cult. I am more inclined to the former. What the hell is the Beast God Cult doing here?"

"etc."

Jiang Yue narrowed his eyes and began to think.

If the Beast God Cult was really plotting something, why would Jade-faced Fox Qingjiu kill the officials of the Wentang in Taohua County? Isn't this an active exposure?
Was he exposing himself to attract someone? Or was there something he wanted in the Wentang of Taohua County?
Or maybe, the Beast God Cult had no conspiracy at all, it was just that the Jade-faced Fox Qingjiu was passing by alone, and he didn't care about his whereabouts being exposed.

Jiang Yue thought about it and finally let out a long sigh.

"Well, three days of searching the mountain yielded nothing."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Leave some people to guard Yuqing County, and everyone else go back and have a good rest."

"Yes!"

The patrolling flagmen obeyed the order respectfully.

Jiang Yue continued, "Three elders, take your disciples and get out of here immediately. I don't want to see you again in the Nine Counties of Yuqing."

"Yes, let's get out of here."

Elder Hao smiled and said, "Sir, we will leave right now. We will leave right now."

Jiang Yue waved his hand impatiently, put away the Sky Patrolling Hawk, and took the patrolling flagmen back to the county.

The martial artists also left in a hurry, not daring to stay in the nine counties for long. But in the end, Elder Hao returned alone and waited outside Yuqing County. It was the first time he saw someone with divine appearance, and he didn't want to leave easily. Who knows what kind of problems he might encounter, and if he could help Jiang Yue, his luck would definitely soar in the future.
-
In the court of Yuqing County government, Jiang Yue told many officials of Wentang about the mountain search, and also told them about how the Jade-faced Fox Qingjiu killed the officials of Wentang of Taohua County.

"That's the situation, everyone."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please discuss it and give some opinions."

Everyone fell silent, because this matter was really weird. After all, the demons disappeared directly, and it also involved the Beast God Cult, so it was hard not to think too much.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Jiang Yue's mountain patrol token lit up.

It was a message from Pei Hu.

"General Jiangyue Banner."

Pei Hu's voice was serious and solemn: "It is widely rumored in the martial arts world that Jade-faced Fox Qingjiu got the Dragon Binding Rope from Yuqing Jiu County. The news has spread, and many Huichun Prefecture masters have already gone to Yuqing Jiu County."

"After three days, when I am free, I will personally come to the nine counties to help you. You must be extremely careful during these three days."
