Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1176 – Bold

The Qinguan’s fortress was very big, located at the west side of the canyon. Even the narrowest part of the valley was more than five hundred meters wide, which was blocked by the majestic Qinguan. There used to be at least one hundred and seventy thousand citizens living in the city, and the majority of them were the servants and families that served the Qinguan’s garrison.

When the war began, all the people withdrew into the pass, leaving it empty.

The guards who took turns resting in the houses, waiting for the next fight on the battlefield. In fact, a single pipe card was not enough to stop a cultivator. Since the Nine Saints of the Nine Saint Sect were here, breaking the pipe card was not a difficult task. However, he did not reveal himself, and was only waiting for Ning Xiaolou.

All these years, in order to defeat Ning Xiaolou, Jiu Sheng had to put in all his effort. He placed many people by Ning Xiaolou’s side. Someone like Yao Bianbian was sent to Bai Shengjun’s territory at a young age, where he was sent to be taught and then spent all his effort to enter the palace. Yao Bianbian was not the only one who wanted to be sent to the palace.

Of these seventy-two people, only three were still alive. Two of them were still working in the palace, but their status was not high. The remaining sixty-nine people had all died. A small part of them had been eliminated because they couldn’t bear the hardships of training. In order to not leak out the secret, they had to be killed. A large portion of them were found out and killed by the people of the DEA after entering the Wei Ran Palace. The youngest died when he was eleven, and the oldest was only nineteen.

Therefore, Yao Bianbian had always been living with extreme caution. He knew how important he was, and he also knew how dangerous he was. Sometimes, he would even feel waves of fear … If Ning Xiaolou was still alive, continued to be so, then he had always been important. Even if he was given up by the Nine Saint Sect, he would still be able to live a very comfortable life by Ning Xiaolou’s side. But if Ning Xiaolou died, would he still have any value after returning to the Nine Saint Sect?

Yao Bianbian chased after An Zheng, his mind thinking nonstop, maybe Ning Xiaolou was going to die soon, where would he go?

An Zheng was not An Caichen, and would never be.

In front of the General’s Estate’s gate.

When An Zheng who was dressed in the DEA’s official uniform walked to the door, the guard at the door saw that he was obviously more polite than when he saw An Caichen. These soldiers that risked their lives looked down on those young people who were studying in the academy. They felt that no matter how talented they were, they were useless. But towards the people of the DEA, they did not dare not disrespect them.

“Find out abouerson.”

An Zheng stood at the door and asked: “A disciple of the Bai Sheng Academy called An Caichen, have you come here before?”

“I’ve been here before.”

The soldier’s reply was straightforward: “This person called An Caichen attempted to commit murder in the general’s manor, and has been captured and imprisoned. Yesterday, your DEA came here, but the General did not allow your men to take him away. Today, he came again, and I advise you not to go in. An Caichen attempted to kill a high-ranking officer in the army in front of a general. This kind of heinous crime is unjustifiable.

“An Caichen wants to kill?”

An Zheng frowned slightly. “Say that again.”

The soldier answered without hesitation, “That’s right, in this general’s residence, he wants to commit murder in full view of everyone. Deputy General Tian Yong was also severely injured and was currently in a coma. There are so many people in the military who have seen it with their own eyes.

An Zheng took a deep breath. “Since An Caichen has found your General’s Estate, then it means that there is something wrong with your General’s Estate. Let alone An Caichen, who definitely would not kill someone, even if he really had the intention to kill someone, it would still be your General’s Estate’s fault. ”

The soldier was stunned. “No matter how overbearing the people from DEA are, there are only a few who are as unreasonable as you, Sir. It was An Caichen who wanted to kill someone, it was he who did the deed, how is it the fault of the General’s Estate? ”

If it wasn’t for the fact that An Zheng had the terrifying official uniform of the DEA, the soldier would have already started to curse.

“I’ll say it again, An Caichen will not kill anyone, never. He would never make a mistake, ever. He hit someone, and the person who was hit was wrong. You have him, you are wrong. I’m not An Caichen, so I guess if An Caichen forced his way in, he wouldn’t hurt anyone. He wasn’t even willing to kill an ant, so how could he possibly hurt someone? I’m not as stupid as he is. You either step aside or draw your sword. If I kill you, no one will look into my matter. If you die, then so be it. ”

He took a step forward. The soldier was intimidated by An Zheng and subconsciously retreated.

“Could it be that the people from the DEA can disregard the laws and discipline of the country? Let me tell you, this is not your DEA, but the general’s estate! ”

“I will count to three. Open the door and make way, otherwise you will die.”

An Zheng extended a finger out, causing the soldier to tremble in fear.

An Zheng walked up the stairs. Just as he took a step, he stopped.

Behind him, a dozen or so DEA experts rushed over from the back and lined up in a row on the street. These people’s hands were on the long blades at their waists, as though they were going to pull them out anytime, but they were obviously not here to help An Zheng.

Not long after, these people parted ways as a middle-aged man wearing an azure colored silk robe walked out slowly. He wore a black cloak, as if he was terrified of the chilliness of the early winter. In his hand was a white handkerchief. He coughed continuously, and when he coughed, he would cover his mouth with the handkerchief. His face was slightly pale.

“You are An Zheng.”

he asked.

An Zheng turned his head to look at that person, and his heart trembled slightly. An Zheng had never seen that person’s clothes before, and it was also the only uniform that An Zheng had never seen before. Whether it was the clothes of the lowest level DEA’s secret service, the clothes of the supervisor field officer, the supervisor’s clothes, or even the clothes of a higher level caretaker, An Zheng had seen them all before. Therefore, An Zheng was able to immediately determine who this person was … The newly appointed chairman of the DEA, Xue Gouchen.

“Honored Shifu.”

An Zheng maintained his politeness and cupped his fists.

“He is a very quick-witted person. You know who I am even though you have never seen me before. It is because your mind is sharp that I cannot help but give you a word of advice. What you are wearing today is not only your personal, but also your DEA’s official uniform. An Caichen was captured after entering the general’s manor. Even though he was a disciple of the Bai Sheng Academy, he was not immune to military punishment. So you have to decide whether you want to go in or not. ”

An Zheng was silent for a moment, then took off the official uniform of the DEA that he was wearing, folded it neatly at the door, and put on his own black robe.

Xue Gouchen’s expression changed, “You’re going too far.”

An Zheng turned around and walked into the general’s manor. “An Caichen is my senior brother, Fang Tanzhi is my instructor.”

Xue Gouchen: “Have you considered the consequences?”

An Zheng glanced at his folded clothes on the ground, then walked into the general’s mansion without saying a word.

Xue Gouchen started to cough, he wiped the corner of his mouth witandkerchief, there was blood on it.

An Zheng walked into the general’s manor. Upon entering, a long blade pierced through the door likoisonous snake, straight towards An Zheng’s throat. When the blade tip reached near An Zheng’s neck, An Zheng then raised his hand and used two fingers to catch the blade, and the blade did not move at all. The soldier that pulled out the sword tried his best to pull it out, but his long sword seemed stuck in the lock and couldn’t move at all.

“Hand him over.”

An Zheng said two words.

The soldier turned around and shouted, “Someone has trespassed into the general’s manor and committed murder!”

An Zheng shook his head slightly, “I haven’t committed any evil deeds yet.”

The soldier loosened his grip on his long blade, took off his crossbow from the side of his waist, and shot at An Zheng a few times consecutively. An Zheng turned the blade in a circle, causing all the arrows to fly away. He took a step forward and with a sweep of his long blade, the soldier’s head fell to the ground.

“Now I’m committing murder.”

Witwist of the blade, An Zheng grabbed the handle of the blade and walked forward.

He was not An Caichen, he knew how to kill, and there were not many people in this world who knew how to kill more than An Zheng.

Dozens of armored soldiers rushed over, with countless crossbow arrows aimed at An Zheng. An Zheng only took a few steps forward as the crossbow bolts shattered into powder in mid air and were blown away by the wind. The people who were rushing over fell down one by one in front of An Zheng. Some of them were dead or injured.

An Zheng asked while walking: “When An Caichen came over, did you make a move?”

Of course no one answered, but An Zheng didn’t need to. Because he was the best at observing other people’s gazes, after asking, regardless of whether they replied or not, the answer was already in An Zheng’s eyes. On the day that An Caichen entered the General’s Residence, no one left the place alive, and their corpses fell at An Zheng’s feet. Anyone who did not take action would temporarily lose their ability to move after being injured by An Zheng.

An Zheng kept on walking as he killed people in the general’s manor. When he was barely thirty meters away from the courtyard, he had already killed seventeen people. The alarmed border army commanders rushed out, and the hundreds of armored warriors who were rushing over from all directions quickly gathered together. These armored warriors formed a shield formation that was as tall aerson. Archers stood behind the shield formation in a defensive formation. As time passed, the number of people surrounding An Zheng increased from a few hundred to a thousand.

But An Zheng still did not stop, following his movement, the shield array surrounding him also had no choice but to move.

“Please give An Caichen to me, I want to bring him back.”

He walked to the center of the courtyard and stopped. The long blade that had already left countless holes in the ground suddenly stabbed into the ground. He cupped his fists and spoke very politely, his expression calm without the slightest ripple.

Battalion Commander Qin Shuang walked out from inside with a cold expression on his face, and stood on the tall steps as he looked down at An Zheng.

“One after another, it’s so annoying. I heard that that person was Bai Sheng Academy’s most outstanding disciple, and you are DEA’s youngest prosecutor in all of its history, and the person who climbed the fastest. If nothing unexpected happened, An Caichen would become a very important person in the academy in the future. He could even become the future Principal of the Bai Sheng Academy. But you, you might becomriest of the DEA in the future, people like you, don’t you really think about it for yourself? ”

An Zheng looked at Qin Shuang: “Was An Caichen injured by your hand?”

“It’s me, what do you want?”

“Fuck you!”

An Zheng picked up the blade on the ground and took a deep breath.

The corner of Qin Shuang’s mouth twitched: “You sure are bold!”

An Zheng raised his eyes, filled with killing intent.

“I’ve always been bold, so bold that I’m even afraid of myself.”

He took a step forward. “If you don’t hand him over, then kill him.”
