Pff!
Mei Changkong stopped at the edge of a stream and spat out a mouthful of vital blood.
He had forcibly suppressed his injuries earlier to kill his pursuers, worsening the damage within him by several degrees.
Now, as he gazed at the boundless mountain forest, a trace of despair appeared on his face.
Unlike in ancient times, when killing an official and rebelling still allowed one to flee into the deep mountains and old forests,
under the rule of the Dao Court, every mountain had a mountain god and every river had a water god. Even in a well, there might be a Well Dragon King lurking!
No matter where he hid, even at the ends of the earth, once the Dao Court made up its mind, it could certainly hunt him down and bring him to justice!
Before, I only killed an inspector. Now I've assassinated an assistant county magistrate... The commotion keeps growing.
Mei Changkong understood the workings of the government very well. If it were merely a minor matter, they would never issue an official document to trouble neighboring counties.
Thus, when a refugee committed some minor offense, as long as he fled to a neighboring county, there was basically nothing to fear.
The deities of a neighboring county would never willingly work for another county's government and make trouble for themselves, unless they received an official order from the prefecture!
After killing the inspector, he had already been wanted throughout the prefecture.
Now, having assassinated an assistant county magistrate in broad daylight, the urgency had risen again, and the intensity of the pursuit had increased once more. Even many deities might well receive notification.
By then, heaven would offer no road, and earth would provide no door.
*My death means little. It's only a pity
