I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 274

274 Emperor (1)
“Divine Force of Azure Flames!”

“Boom!”

In a forest in Ninggao County, Li Fucheng panted heavily as he half-knelt on the ground. The golden-red mystic qi wrapped around his body for a long time.

“How… How was this possible? How could you break my Inherited Cloud Technique!?He was clearly just a puny great mystic cultivator! Why?”

Opposite Li Fucheng, a boorish man with a big hole in his chest had a look of disbelief.

!!
“Ha… Ha…” Li Fucheng, who had finally managed to catch his breath, slowly stood up and dragged his wounded body toward the boorish man.

“Wait… Wait, what do you want? I can give you anything you want! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”

“Zhuang Tianyi! You’ve deceived and harmed the villagers. You kill people for fun and do everything! Killing you today is a substitute for the heavens!”

Seeing that Li Fucheng’s aura was rising, Zhuang Tianyi knew that begging for mercy was useless, so he shouted fiercely,”My master is the Phaseless Sect’s Hall Master! Gu Qingyue, if you dare to kill me today! My master will definitely not let you off!”

“Before I die, let me tell you something.”

Li Fucheng raised his right hand high as he spoke.

“I’ve heard this sentence no less than a hundred times.”

After saying that, the Suyang Seal slammed down on Zhuang Tianyi’s head.

With a dull thud, Zhuang Tianyi’s eyes lost all their luster and he slowly fell to the ground.

“Cough! * Cough cough * Cough!”

After a few violent coughs, Li Fucheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Just now, he had relied on the array to forcefully increase his cultivation and cultivation technique. Now, the backlash came, and his internal organs seemed to be squeezed together.

“Senior Brother!” Tang Tingshuang, who had been standing at the back, rushed up and poured out a glistening yellow Spirit Cleansing Pill from a green bottle and fed it to Li Fucheng.

Li Fucheng swallowed the Spirit Invitation Pill, thanked her, and sat up on the spot.

After a cup of tea’s time, Li Fucheng’s violent Xuan Qi calmed down a little and his tightly knitted brows relaxed a little.

Seeing her senior brother slowly open his eyes, Tang Tingshuang asked worriedly,””Senior Brother, are you alright?”

“Hu…” Letting out a long breath, Li Fucheng waved his hand and said,”It’s fine. I’ll just rest for a while.”

Tang Tingshuang was relieved when she saw Li Fucheng’s complexion gradually turn rosy.

Hearing Zhou Guican’s exaggerated tone, Li Fucheng smiled and said,””I was just lucky this time. If I didn’t understand Zhuang Tianyi’s cultivation technique in advance, I could say that I had no chance of winning this battle.”

“Are you looking down on your brother?” Zhou Guican said unhappily. You can even kill Zhuang Tianyi, so wouldn’t it be easy for me to kill his lackeys?”

“In that case, let’s leave this place first.”

“Alright, let’s go!”

When they arrived at a secluded courtyard, Tang Tingshuang took off Li Fucheng’s shirt and started to treat his wound. Zhou Guican sat at the side and brewed a pot of tea.”Hey, did you hear? That dog official of Menliang County was beheaded at Caishikou. I have to say that the new emperor is really amazing. In a month, he has killed so many dog officials.”

When he heard the word ‘new emperor’, Li Fucheng could not help but think of a figure that he respected very much.

Not long after the new Emperor ascended the throne, Li Fucheng had inquired about his background. After learning that he was a disciple of the Returning Heart Sect, Li Fucheng’s first reaction was to think of Big Brother Wang. However, he soon learned that the new Emperor’s name was Jiang Beiran.

However, because of his relationship with the clan, Li Fucheng paid special attention to the new emperor’s every move. He soon discovered that the new emperor was a man who cared about the world and loved his people like his own children. Every new decree made him sigh. However, he only sighed because he knew that although these new decrees seemed beautiful, it was extremely difficult to implement them.
However, not long after he finished sighing, he realized that the emperor had actually begun to “personally lead the army”!

In just a few days, he appeared in all the counties and villages in Feng Province like a supreme soldier descending from the sky. As long as he met a corrupt official, he would immediately take off his black gauze hat. If the circumstances were serious, he would directly push them to the market and behead them.

The reason he was able to learn of this news was not because he was quick to inquire, but because the new emperor began to publicize it vigorously after doing these things. He put up notices everywhere and even specially set up an official position called ” Reporter ” to read the contents of the notices everywhere so that illiterate people could know. He also recorded the feedback of the people after hearing it and announced it to the world.

This news swept through the entire Fengzhou like a storm. All the local officials were in danger. They all went all out to implement the new policy to ensure that when the Emperor suddenly appeared in their village, at least he would not be beheaded.

Li Fucheng couldn’t help but think of Brother Wang when he saw such a good Emperor who had saved the people of Fengzhou from danger. His intuition told him that Jiang Beiran might be related to Brother Wang in some way.

Thinking of this, Li Fucheng looked at Zhou Guican and asked,””When did you hear about Menliang County?”

“I heard it this morning. There’s a notice outside the village.”
