Grandpa Ning Yu, Spare My Life
Su Bai rode his Sword Flight, speeding away like a meteor, flying at a steady pace towards the Copper City.
Along the way, he displayed Sword Flight speed beyond that of ordinary Sword Cultivator, and in the blink of an eye, he swept across several mountains and rivers.
During his journey on his Sword Flight, Su Bai took out a Jade Slip from his Jade Slip, which contained detailed data about Copper City.
He carefully examined the Jade Slip, reading through the information one by one.
The data recorded in this Jade Slip is all-encompassing, from the geographical environment of Copper City to the population distribution, and the duties and Political Achievements of officials at all levels, all are recorded in detail.
Among these, what concerned Su Bai the most was the Death Toll in the villages, towns, and farms under the jurisdiction of Copper City.
This data is crucial for the Night Watcher.
By analyzing this data, they can roughly deduce which places harbor the most Demon Cultivator.
These areas naturally became the focus of the Night Watcher.
As Second-Tier Tribute City, Copper City naturally had no Demon Cultivator or nobles residing there, but many Demon Cultivator secretly sneaked in to eat people.
However, this was not a big problem for Su Bai.
Unlike in other First-Tier Tribute City, he didn't need to bother dealing with relationships with powerful Demon Cultivator.
If he encounters an infiltrated Demon Cultivator, he can kill them without hesitation.
Therefore, Copper City is indeed the best place for Su Bai to hone his skills.
If there were truly powerful Demon Cultivator causing trouble, Su Bai might just impulsively reveal his Demon Cultivator level and kill them directly.
Among the various regions under the jurisdiction of Copper City, the place with the highest Death Toll was undoubtedly the Copper Mine Area.
The Copper City is called Copper City because a large copper mine once existed near it.
However, this copper mine was abandoned decades ago, and now only desolation and silence remain.
Although the copper mine is no longer in operation, its complex geographical location and deep underground terrain have become an excellent hiding place for Demon Cultivators.
These Demon Cultivators cleverly concealed their presence by taking advantage of the complex terrain of the Copper Mine Area, making it difficult for the previous Night Watcher of Copper City to detect their existence.
Farms near the Copper Mine Area have also been greatly affected.
Every year, a large number of people die or go missing unnaturally here, far exceeding the number in other areas.
According to incomplete statistics, this number has exceeded 300, and it is showing an upward trend year by year.
It is the place where Demon Cultivator are most rampant in Copper City.
"This is fine."
Instead of going to Copper City to officially assume his post first, Su Bai decided to give these Demon Cultivators a taste of their power.
"Let's start here!"
Su Bai cannot reveal his cultivation level. He needs to use his superior perception to directly kill the Demon Cultivator in the area. In order to secure his position in Copper City and make the Demon Cultivators Demon Cultivator, he must let them know that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, he decided to announce his arrival and jurisdiction over this land to the Demon Cultivators in a special way.
Not long after.
Su Bai then rushed to the Copper Mine Area.
With the Primordial Spirit Power, Su Bai locked onto the auras of the dozen or so Demon Cultivator lurking within the Copper Mine Area.
Three Demon Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage and nine demon Demon Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
No wonder more than 300 people disappear from this area every year.
Su Bai's figure was hidden deep within the clouds.
A moment later, he selected the strongest Demon Cultivator among them as his target.
The next moment, he flashed and landed in a field where people were busy working.
In this farmland, many farmers are diligently cultivating the land. Although the Agricultural Envoy helps to nurture the rice paddies to ensure a good harvest, there are still many things in the fields that the farmers themselves need to do.
When the farmers saw Su Bai, the Night Watcher Uniform, arrive, they all stopped what they were doing, bowed respectfully to Su Bai, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, sir!"
Su Bai nodded slightly, acknowledging their greetings.
Immediately afterwards, Su Bai's gaze fell directly on one of the Demon Cultivator disguised as a farmer.
Although this Demon Cultivator tried his best to conceal his aura, making it extremely difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator to detect his Yao Qi, he naturally had nowhere to hide under Su Bai's Primordial Spirit Power.
The thug was still bowing and scraping to Su Bai, pretending to wipe the sweat from his work.
Su Bai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He lightly raised his finger, and a Sword Qi shot out, heading straight for the Demon Cultivator disguised as a farmer.
With a "poof," the Sword Qi pierced the Demon Cultivator's dantian with unerring accuracy, imprisoning his Golden Core. He immediately let out a shrill scream, and his body collapsed limply to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
This sudden scene shocked the surrounding farmers.
They thought that this seemingly kind official would suddenly attack someone, and that he would attack an innocent farmer.
The atmosphere in the fields became extremely tense. The farmers looked at Su Bai in fear, worried that he might do the same to them.
But just as the farmers were filled with fear, something unexpected happened.
The farmer who had fallen to the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, his skin gradually became rough, and his hair began to grow wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the farmer had completely transformed into a gigantic Yellow Weasel. This Demon Cultivator had revealed its true form after dissipating its Spiritual Power.
Seeing this, the farmers suddenly realized that the Night Watcher was not indiscriminately killing innocent people, but was ridding the people of a scourge!
"What? Old Tian is actually Demon in disguise! How terrifying!"
"How could that be? He and I grew up together..."
"How could that be impossible? He must have been possessed by Demon without even realizing it one day!"
"So, Xiao Hu disappeared last month while working with him. Could he have eaten him...?"
The group of farmers grew increasingly angry and agitated as they spoke. They brandished their hoes and charged forward menacingly, smashing the weasel Demon Cultivator Yellow Weasel their weapons!
These mortals of the Great Qian Dynasty both feared and hated Demon.
On ordinary days, they suffer from the harassment of Demon, and the ordinary people of the Second-Tier Tribute City dare not have any nightlife after nightfall.
Now that they finally had the chance to teach these despicable Demon a lesson, they naturally showed no mercy and used every trick in the book.
The Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator, already deprived of its Spiritual Power, was now severely injured and beaten bloody by a group of angry farmers, a truly pitiful sight.
Its fangs were almost all knocked out, and it was beaten badly.
Just as this former Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivator was about to be beaten to death by this group of mortals, Su Bai suddenly waved his hand, and a gust of Spiritual Wind howled out, forcefully dispersing the group of farmers.
"Alright, that's enough. I still have a use for this demon." Su Bai's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible authority.
Upon hearing his words, the farmers seemed to snap out of a daze and stopped what they were doing, all looking at Su Bai with awe in their eyes.
Su Bai looked at the Demon Cultivator and said calmly, "Do you want to live?"
The Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator dragged his mangled body to Su Bai and grabbed Su Bai's leg, pleading, "Grandpa, I want to live! Cultivating to a fully formed form was no easy feat. Please, spare my life! I'll do anything!"
This Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivator has a pretty strong will to survive.
Su Bai said expressionlessly, "I am Ning Yu, the newly appointed Chief Steward of Copper City. If you want to live, you must convey a message to all the Demon Cultivator within the Copper City."
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator, who had been terrified, felt as if he had been granted a pardon. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Please tell me, Grandpa Ning Yu, what message do you need me to convey!"
Su Bai's lips curled slightly into a faint smile, but that smile sent chills down one's spine. He slowly said, "Go and tell all the Demon Cultivator within the Copper City to leave the Copper City area within one day."
"If any Demon Cultivator dare to remain in Copper City after one day, don't blame me for being impolite."
"I happen to be an expert in alchemy. As for any demon cultivators who dare to remain in Copper City after a day, oblivious to their Demon Cultivator, I will personally Peeled Skin them alive and dismember them, allowing their bodies to undergo forty-nine days of tempering while still alive."
"I suppose none of you demons have ever experienced this feeling."
The Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator turned pale with fright, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He scrambled to his feet, trembling, and said, "Understood! Grandpa Ning Yu! I'll go and convey your orders right away!"
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, afraid that if he stayed any longer, Su Bai would use him as material for alchemy.
Su Bai reached out and stopped him in his tracks.
Then it was slightly retracted.
Water Attribute healing Law Technique, driven by a portion of the [Supreme Goodness is Like Water] Principle, envelops Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator.
The next moment, the Yellow Weasel Demon Cultivator discovered that his dantian had miraculously recovered, his Golden Core was stable, and his Spiritual Power began to gather again.
What kind of skill is this? This Human Race's Night Watcher is truly terrifying in strength!
"I can restore your Spiritual Power, but I can also take your life at any time. Go and do your work," Su Bai said calmly.
The weasel demon cultivator kowtowed repeatedly to Su Bai, "Grandpa Xie Ningyu of Huangtian, spare my life! I'll go do my bidding for you right away!"
The Demon Cultivator Huang Tian used Earth Escape Technique to escape from a location) to leave this place.
Su Bai's Primordial Spirit Power watched Huang Tian leave with detached indifference.
Huang Tian was probably the strongest Demon Cultivator in the Copper City area.
Hopefully, the news he brings back will cause the Demon Cultivator of Copper City to flee in terror.
In this way, Copper City can develop steadily, and his Political Achievements can also be improved.
Su Bai's Political Achievements have been remarkable. If he were to rise to a higher level in the Central Court power structure of the Great Qian Dynasty, he would then have access to Copy Power of Principle...
