Chapter 354: It's No Use Saying that, the Evil Spirits that Have Been Dug Out

Xiaomeng City nominally belongs to Daxu State, but several surrounding cities are actually ruled by the Vajra Gate. If the official decrees of the Daxu court want to be implemented here, they must first be approved by the Vajra Gate.

Even the appointment of officials requires the approval of the Vajra Gate, which is also the result of years of game between the royal Yang family and the Vajra Gate.

Although Zhihua was a little ashamed when he said this, this is the fact.

"Several officials, please let me go. My family is rich and I don't need to work."

When the three walked through a street, several yamen runners in police uniforms were escorting a man out of a private house.

The man's hands were handcuffed and he begged for mercy. His wife, daughter and old father came forward to stop him, but were roughly pushed away by several policemen.

"Get out of here, you idiots. I'm doing this for your family's sake, to find you something to eat.

Your family is rich, how much money can you have? If you don't work, you'll be eating up the family sooner or later. You're a lazy man, you'll only eat your parents' flesh and blood.

This is the resettlement fee, and the wages will be paid regularly in the future."

The policeman cursed and threw down some silver coins, and took the man away directly.

In addition to the man who had just been brought out, there were seven or eight young men guarded by the police on the street, looking terrified.

Several policemen continued to knock on the door of the next house.

"Sir, there are no young men in my family!" A voice sounded behind the door.

"Stop talking nonsense, open the door for us to check, otherwise we'll demolish your yard." The policeman threatened, and his huge force almost broke the yard door.

The people inside had no choice but to open the door. After a while, the policemen pulled out another young man from the family.

"Why are you arresting people indiscriminately?" Zhihua couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and asked.

These people who were arrested were obviously not arrested for doing anything bad. It seems that they were unwilling to work and were forcibly arrested.

The leader heard this and looked at Zhihua, Wei Fan and Fenghua. Seeing that the three of them were dressed like people from the underworld, he showed a look of fear.

He immediately said: "These are all lazy people who eat and wait for death all day long. We are helping them, don't you think so?"

As he spoke, he emitted a pressure from his body towards the group of young people who were arrested.

Although he was just a leader, he also had the cultivation of a martial arts master in the divine realm. These young people were almost pressed to the ground and dared not say a word.

Zhihua frowned: "Even if they are lazy people, they can't be forced to work if they don't want to. Let them go immediately."

The leader sneered: "Order me? Who do you think you are?"

He was a little afraid of Zhihua and the other two, but it didn't mean he was afraid.

Zhihua took out a sign: "I am the current princess Zhihua, I order you to release the person!"

"What the hell..."

The messenger took a look and showed a disdainful expression: "Who knows if this thing is true or not? If anyone took a sign and said that he was a princess and asked me to listen to him, Xiaomeng City would have been in chaos. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and affect our law enforcement, otherwise I can only arrest you."

Fenghua was furious. With her identity as Princess Daxu, she couldn't even order a small messenger.

"It's useless for you to say that..."

Wei Fan walked over, stretched out five fingers like lightning, grabbed the messenger's hair, pulled it down, and then pushed it with one knee.

Crack...

In the sound of bones cracking, blood spurted out, and the messenger screamed.

After Wei Fan lifted his head again, his nose, eyes, mouth, etc. had been twisted into a ball, and his cheeks were sunken, forming an inward arc.

Not to mention that Zhihua was just a princess, even if the emperor came, a pair of fists would not be of any use.

"Asshole, what are you waiting for? Chop him up!"

His hair was still being grabbed by Wei Fan, and he screamed incoherently.

"Boss..."

"How dare you!"

"Kill him!"

Several officers roared and rushed over.

Clang...

There were sounds of long swords being unsheathed all around, and in an instant, a flash of sword light chopped towards Wei Fan. At the same time, the chief officer also attacked, swinging his fists and hitting Wei Fan's chest.

Except for the chief officer who was a martial master in the divine realm, the officers under him were all celestial martial masters. For Wei Fan, killing such a weakling was just a thought.

A layer of light burst out from his body, and all the long swords that chopped over were shattered, including the fists that the officers hit.

The next moment, the fragments of the weapons rolled back and beat all the officers into sieves, followed by the sound of bodies falling to the ground.

"Senior, spare my life!"

Looking at the miserable state of his subordinates, the chief was so frightened that he trembled all over. He didn't even care about his shattered fists and begged for mercy.

No matter how dumb he was, he understood at this moment that the few people in front of him were not young people who had just started out, but extremely terrifying masters and ruthless characters, especially this man, who killed all his subordinates at once.

"Tell me, why did you arrest so many people!" Wei Fan's indifferent eyes swept over the chief: "You have one chance to speak, you must cherish it."

[Kill Zhang San and gain 500 years of ordinary skills]

[Kill Zhou Jiang and gain 600 years of ordinary skills]

...

The panels of these officers all responded, so Wei Fan did not hesitate to take ruthless actions, leaving only this chief to question.

[Xu Guang: Mid-stage of the Divine Realm, the chief of Xiaomeng City, assisted the tyrant and oppressed the people]

[Kill him and gain 2000 years of skills]

This chief is not a good thing either. The panel also prompts that killing him can gain skills.

On the street, the young people who were arrested were stunned, and the people passing by also looked over in shock.

Wei Fan's eyes swept over him, his body trembled, and he felt that his soul was about to collapse.

But he still dodged his eyes: "Senior, I said it before, it's not about arresting people, it's about finding jobs for these lazy people."

"You are lying, you are basically arresting us to die!" A young man who was arrested boldly shouted, knowing that Wei Fan and the others were their life.

Cha Tou's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that these people who had been threatened repeatedly by them would have the courage to tell the truth.

"It seems you turned a deaf ear to my warning!" Wei Fan grinned.

"No...I said, I will tell you whatever the senior wants to know."

Chatou Xu Guang shouted, but he only felt a pain in his head and then completely lost consciousness.

Wei Fan threw away Cha Tou's body and looked at the man who spoke: "Brother, what did you mean by arresting you and sending you to death?"

The man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Back to my hero, this is what happened..."

In the five major regions, except for the imperial dynasties, the remaining ordinary people live in cities built by big families or sects.

For most sects, the establishment of cities is not a good intention to protect the people, but to obtain labor and exploitation.

A powerful holy sect has tens of thousands of disciples from top to bottom.

The food and drink of so many people, as well as the resources for cultivation, are all expenses. The fields need to be cultivated by people, the monsters used for meat also need to be fed by people, and the cultivation of elixirs, mining, etc. all require labor. .

A powerful sect may even require hundreds of thousands of laborers.

In fact, Xiaomeng City is still some distance away from the Vajra Gate, but there is a Vajra Gate mine near Xiaomeng City, so this can also be regarded as the territory of the Vajra Gate.

Xiaomeng City has a small population, only a few hundred thousand people, of which almost ten or twenty thousand people work in the mines of Jingangmen, digging for Jingangmen to make a living.

About a month ago, disciples of the Vajra Sect suddenly appeared in Xiaomeng City and told those who had relatives working in the mine that the mine collapsed and all the miners died in the mine. They gave them a settlement allowance.

"After they paid the resettlement allowance, they started recruiting workers in the city again and offered more generous benefits than before."

When the man said this, a look of anger appeared on his face: "At the beginning, everyone signed up enthusiastically because the remuneration offered by the Vajra Gate this time was almost double the previous one.

But within a few days, news came out in the city that those people were not crushed to death when the mine collapsed, but something strange happened.

It is said that on the day of the accident, someone dug out a sarcophagus deep in the mine. Except for some people who left the mine that day and survived by luck, everyone in the mine died that night, including the masters of the Diamond Gate. "

Wei Fan's eyes narrowed. He had never heard of such a weird thing. He couldn't help but look at Fenghua and Zhihua, both of whom nodded.

Fenghua even said: "This kind of thing is not uncommon. Those mines may go deep into the ground for dozens of miles, and it occasionally happens that they dig out strange and evil spirits. There was even a holy sect that dug up horrible things, which led to the extinction of the entire sect."

Wei Fan moved slightly.

Few people can say clearly how long the five major domains have existed. It could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

The body of a strong Martial Master will remain incorruptible for thousands of years after death, not to mention the strong Martial King and Martial Saint. If the corpses of some strong men are buried deep in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years, no one knows what horrors will be nourished. something to come.

At the same time, the man continued: "I know it is because of evil spirits that so many people died. No one is willing to work in the mines, so the people from the Vajra Gate stopped working. No one went to the yamen even after raising wages repeatedly. People started arresting people everywhere and sending them to the mines.”

"Are there still people dying in the mine?" Fenghua frowned.

If the things dug out have been solved and there is no danger, these people should not resist going to the mine to work. After all, they have to eat. The reason why they are reluctant to go is probably because there is still danger.

The man shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just follow the past practice. When I work in the mine, I can come back once every half a month. If I have something to do at home, I can also ask for leave to come back. But after the person went this time, a person came back." There are no people, so no one wants to go to the mine.”

This person is just a low-level person and has never been to the mine. Some of the things he knows are obviously based on guesswork. He has no idea about the real situation in the mine.

But there's probably something wrong, otherwise this wouldn't happen.

"Surround it up!"

Suddenly, several people came up from the air and surrounded the three of Wei Fan. Wei Fan looked at them and saw that these people were all bald and hairless, wearing uniform clothes.
