Deputy Envoy He Yan followed closely beside Lu Xuan, arriving at the entrance of the Vermillion Bird Guard's residence.
"We greet Envoy Lu, Deputy Envoy!"
Outside the Vermillion Bird Guard's residence, two exceptionally strong white steeds were held by a man.
On their moon-white heads, there was a touch of light cyan, fine hair, making them appear mysterious and noble.
"Sir, these two are Divine Wind Steeds, a type of mutated beast capable of traveling a thousand miles a day."
"According to the journey from the Prefectural City to Fenglin County, you can reach the border of Fenglin County in less than a day, Sir."
He Yan talked incessantly along the way, introducing Lu Xuan to the situation in Fenglin County and the two steeds at the entrance.
"By the way, Envoy Lu, there happen to be a few Vermillion Bird Guards in Fenglin County,
including Yellow-Rank Vermillion Bird Guard Yao Feng, and two Human-Rank Vermillion Bird Guards accompanying him."
"Yellow-Rank Vermillion Bird Guard Yao Feng?"
Lu Xuan had seen this name yesterday when reviewing the Vermillion Bird Guard's missions.
Lu Xuan remembered that this seemed to be a Hazardous-level mission.
Ten days ago, the Prefect of White Path Prefecture sent someone to notify the Vermillion Bird Guard.
A supernatural anomaly had appeared in Silver Rock Town, Fenglin County, and several people had already died.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng had issued this incident as a Hazardous-level mission.
Then, Yellow-Rank Vermillion Bird Guard Yao Feng had accepted it, taking two Human-Rank Vermillion Bird Guards to Silver Rock Town, Fenglin County.
Seeing that it was a Hazardous-level anomaly and that someone had already gone to resolve it, Lu Xuan hadn't paid much attention to it.
The points gained from killing a Hazardous-level anomaly were only around fifty.
For Lu Xuan, it had to be a Calamitous-level or higher supernatural anomaly to be of great use to him.
While Lu Xuan was talking to He Yan, they had already arrived in front of the two Divine Wind Steeds.
The man holding the two Divine Wind Steeds was Zhao Sheng.
At this moment, Lu Xuan stopped and asked He Yan, "Deputy Envoy He, is Yao Feng still in Silver Rock Town?"
"Yes, I have already sent him a message by carrier pigeon, instructing him to stay hidden in Silver Rock Town to see if those two demonic beasts will attack Silver Rock Town."
"If he discovers the traces of those two demonic beasts, he is to immediately send you a message by carrier pigeon, Sir."
"The pigeon I just released has already recorded your aura, Sir."
"Yes, very good."
Hearing that Deputy Envoy He Yan had arranged everything, Lu Xuan responded with satisfaction.
Immediately, Lu Xuan turned to Zhao Sheng, who was holding the horses to the side, and spoke.
"Zhao Sheng, have you been to Fenglin County before?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Zhao Sheng answered without thinking, "Reporting to Envoy Lu, this subordinate has been to Fenglin County several times."
"Very good!"
…
Silver Rock Town, Fenglin County!
Silver Rock Town is located on the border of Fenglin County and is one of the famous large towns in Fenglin County.
Inside the Silver Rock Town Magistrate's residence, in the main hall, there were several figures.
Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a few strands of silver hair mixed in with his black hair.
The middle-aged man's face looked weathered, and a neat short beard on his chin added a touch of maturity and stability to his face.
Of course, what was most striking was the azure Vermillion Bird uniform he was wearing, dignified and mysterious.
And he was Yellow-Rank Vermillion Bird Guard, Yao Feng.
In front of him, there were also three people sitting, two of whom were young people, one male and one female, who were the Human-Rank Vermillion Bird Guards he had brought out to train.
There was also a middle-aged man in the hall, who looked about the same age as Yao Feng, and he was the Magistrate of Silver Rock Town.
At this moment, the Magistrate's face was full of ingratiating smiles, seemingly very respectful of Yao Feng.
As for why, that was of course because Yao Feng was a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist!
"Yesterday, thanks to Lord Yao's actions, Silver Rock Town was able to return to its former peace once again."
"I have a small token of my appreciation here to offer to you, Lord, and I hope you will accept it."
"Someone!"
"Bring the items in!"
As the Silver Rock Town Magistrate's voice fell, five or six strong servants appeared outside the door.
Their faces showed a look of strain as they worked together to carry a heavy wooden box in from outside the door.
Then, the Silver Rock Town Magistrate stepped forward and threw open the large wooden box.
The contents of the large wooden box were exposed to everyone's view.
At a glance, it was filled with all kinds of beautiful gold and silver jewelry.
"Lord Yao, this is a small token of my appreciation, nothing much, please accept it, Lord."
A look of heartache flashed in the Silver Rock Town Magistrate's eyes, but his face was full of ingratiating smiles.
Today, he had spent a lot of money, taking out nearly a quarter of his wealth.
Offering it to this important figure from the Prefectural City, of course, he also had his own little thoughts.
The origin of this important figure, even the County Magistrate had to serve him respectfully.
And the ability of this important figure, he had also witnessed in these few days.
If he could curry favor with him, then his future could be said to be unimpeded.
Bang!
The next moment, the sound of a heavy palm hitting the wooden table rang out, causing the Silver Rock Town Magistrate to tremble.
"Hmph!"
"No need, Qiu Yu, Fu Jun, let's go!"
After seeing what these things were, Yao Feng's originally calm face suddenly became furious.
Then, Yao Feng flicked his sleeves and left the hall directly, ignoring the Silver Rock Town Magistrate's panic, taking the two young Vermillion Bird Guards with him.
The Silver Rock Town Magistrate had not expected at all that Yao Feng, whom he wanted to curry favor with, was a very upright person.
The people Yao Feng usually couldn't stand the most were these corrupt officials who accepted bribes and exploited the people.
It was just that there were too many of these corrupt officials, so many that Yao Feng had a feeling of despair.
He had also personally executed several such corrupt officials, but in the end, Yao Feng discovered.
They couldn't be killed!
They simply couldn't be killed!
After killing the original corrupt official, the newly appointed one was likely to be another corrupt official.
Hmph!
These damned corrupt officials!
When he came out of the Magistrate's residence, Yao Feng's angry mood was finally calmed down.
"Master, calm your anger, you don't need to be angry for those corrupt officials."
At this time, a female voice sounded.
The female voice came from beside Yao Feng, said by the young woman named Wu Qiuyu, who looked about twenty-six years old.
"Forget it, no need to mention this matter again!"
"Now that the mission has been completed, you two will follow me and immediately rush back to the Prefectural City."
"The Martial Arts Competition is about to begin, with your strength in the Marrow Refinement Realm, you should have a chance to compete for the top three."
"The rewards for the top three include the treasures of heaven and earth, which will be of great help to you two."
Seeing his disciple speak, Yao Feng didn't think much else, but instead thought of the Vermillion Bird Guard Martial Arts Competition in half a month.
