Chapter 238: Eradicate all evil and root it out
"Run!"
"The leaders have all run away! Let's run too!"
"We are on an island. How can we escape?"
"Jump into the sea and swim! Don't you know how?"
"Yes, yes! Lingshanwei is not far away on the other side. As warriors, we can swim over there as long as we don't encounter some powerful sea beasts!"...
Seeing that their leaders were either dead or fled, the pirate warriors, the Tartar navy rebel soldiers, and the white Hu soldiers were immediately in an uproar!
They were fleeing in all directions frantically, and the entire harbor fortress was in chaos!
“Plop!”…
Their leader had already jumped into the sea and fled. Most of the minions, big and small, who were warriors and confident of swimming to Lingshan Guard on the other side of Lingshan Island, swarmed towards the seashore, crying and shouting.
After arriving at the beach, they rushed into the sea one after another and swam stealthily towards Lingshanwei on the opposite side.
As for those ordinary people, without the long-lasting physical strength of warriors, of course they did not dare to jump into the sea. Each of them seemed to have lost their soul, and was at a loss as to what to do.
More than 100,000 ordinary people living in the fortress town near the large dock were rejoicing.
It was already late at night, just after the hour of Xu. Seeing the chaos outside, they dared not go out to find out what was going on.
Everyone closed their doors and talked to their families in surprise and joy, saying all kinds of things.
"Dajin!"
Seeing the culprits of the three forces jumping into the sea and running away, Li Dingguo flew to the big golden eagle and said to it, "I will continue to stay here to protect these big treasure ships. You still need to work hard tonight and kill all the warriors you can find on this big island."
"This is a pirate den with extremely heinous crimes. Those warriors are most likely people who deserve to be killed."
"From the perspective of the little stone brother and sister who have good martial arts aptitude, ordinary people like them on the island usually don't have access to any martial arts training knowledge, so it's impossible for them to learn martial arts."
After a little thought, Li Dingguo guessed the general situation of Lingshan Island.
"Chirp..."
The big golden eagle swallowed a third-grade top-grade recovery pill handed to it by Li Dingguo. After killing many Qi Refining Realm warriors, it had consumed most of its internal energy and physical strength and recovered quickly.
When it heard its master's order, it neighed immediately, and its huge body soared into the sky, starting a new round of bloody massacre on this big island!
It remembered its master's instructions and would kill any warriors it spotted, no matter who they were.
In front of the giant golden eagle, which is considered to be the fastest in the world, none of the remaining enemy warriors on the island could be a match for the giant golden eagle. They were quickly discovered one by one and killed instantly on the spot.
Although most of the enemy warriors on Lingshan Island knew that they had committed the gravest sins and had already jumped into the sea to escape, there were still hundreds of warriors hiding in this port town.
The golden eagle spent more than half an hour finding them one by one and killing them all without mercy.
Even if some people hid in the cellar, it was of no use.
As long as the golden eagle senses their breath, it, as a fifth-late stage spiritual beast, can use its internal energy to blast a big hole in the ground.
After several consecutive attacks, even the cellar was destroyed, just in time to bury the killed enemies underground.
There were some warriors who were still staying on the island. During this period, they were reckless and wanted to sneak onto the treasure ship at the big pier, intending to steal a treasure ship and run away.
As a result, they were all discovered by Li Dingguo's powerful spiritual sense, and were quickly killed.
Even those enemy warriors who had fled to the deep mountains and forests on this big island were found and killed by the golden eagle, and the night attack ended.
"Ha ha……"
Although Li Dingguo had anticipated this, he couldn't help but chuckle after actually winning the battle.
This was also the battle with the greatest results since the establishment of the Renaissance Army.
This was Li Dingguo's extremely precise calculation, and it can be called a miraculous battle in which the few defeated the many.
None of the three enemy forces he faced this time were easy to deal with.
Li Dingguo seized the opportunity just right, and the enemy's bad luck made this night attack an incredible victory.
Under the deep night, the big golden eagle patrolled the entire island from high in the sky. It found no trace of any enemy warriors, so it prepared to return to its master.
"Chirp!"
The golden eagle completed the task assigned by its master. It circled happily over the pier and landed in front of Li Dingguo.
"Dajin, you are here to guard these treasure ships. Don't let anyone get close to them. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy!"
Li Dingguo touched the golden eagle's head and told it, "I'm going to go to the fortress town by the harbor and search it carefully to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."
After seeing the golden eagle nod, Li Dingguo used the Cloud Dragon Nine Turns Technique and turned into a wisp of smoke, flying towards the large fortress city not far from the big pier.
After passing through the city gate that was about 15 meters high and 20 meters wide and entering this extremely solid and magnificent fortress, Li Dingguo's eyes suddenly lit up.
According to Liang Liping, this large city covers an area of more than 20 miles in radius and has a population of over 100,000.
More than 90% of the residents here are refugees from land.
The houses where the people in the city live look pretty good.
As far as the eye can see, both sides of the wide main street are lined with blue brick and gray tile buildings, which appear to be orderly and well-structured.
This must be because the Ye family of Fuqing regarded Lingshan Island as their own permanent offshore base and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to carefully build it.
The vast amounts of wealth and resources possessed by these top gentry in the Ming Dynasty are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
I heard that the Ye family occupied half of all the land in Fuqing, a large town in Fuzhou Prefecture, and the land in their hometown alone exceeded 100,000 mu!
Nearly half of the shops in the city belong to the Ye family.
This is still the income that is made in the open, and there are even more shady and gray incomes in the dark.
Even the huge amount of wealth and resources obtained from the Fan family's Jiexiu base, which was destroyed by Li Dingguo not long ago, is nothing compared to what the Ye family of Fuqing has obtained. They cannot be compared at all.
They sent out a large pirate fleet formed by their family, and after occupying Lingshan Island, they turned this excellent harbor into a large fortress town.
The huge amount of wealth and materials spent on this is just a drop in the bucket for the huge Ye family, and is not surprising at all.
At this time, the fortress town was dead silent. Corpses of warriors could be seen everywhere on the road, presumably killed by the golden eagle.
As the owner of this fortress town, the Jia family was in a tall and luxurious building complex a few miles ahead. Li Dingguo used his body skills to leap and move, and came to the gate of a huge mansion complex covering an area of three miles in radius.
The copper-clad wooden door at the main entrance was open. Li Dingguo walked into the front yard and found corpses lying in all directions on the ground.
Various spiritual weapons were scattered on the ground around the corpses of these warriors.
As servants and guards of the top wealthy Ye family, they are naturally equipped with a complete set of spiritual weapon sets for daily use.
In this huge courtyard, on the side close to the main gate of the house, there was a large group of ordinary people gathered together and talked. Most of them were dressed as maids and servants.
After seeing Li Dingguo enter here, everyone trembled and looked at him in horror.
"Don't move around! And don't whisper to each other!"
Li Dingguo shouted sternly, "I'll give you a chance to point out the people who usually do evil here and the loyal lackeys of the Jia family!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree and killing you all!"
If Li Dingguo had not had other plans, he would not have said a word to these people. He would have killed them all cleanly and then cleaned out the Jia family mansion.
"I...I want to report it!"
"This woman is Jia Shuisheng's second wife. She often beats and scolds us servants. She has at least dozens of lives on her hands!"
"I also expose this. This is the illegitimate son of the housekeeper of the Jia family. Although he is not a warrior, he usually does all kinds of evil!"
"She is the wife of the head servant Lai Youlu. She is usually very mean!"...
Under the intimidation of the murderous aura deliberately exuded by Li Dingguo, these hundreds of people who were almost frightened to death began to expose and report each other.
Since someone started this, more and more people spoke up, and soon more than 30 people were reported and exposed.
"Die!"
Li Dingguo had a cold expression on his face as he watched everyone's expressions from the side. Of course he knew who was lying and who was telling the truth.
He flashed in front of these people, shook the magical spear in his hand, and flashes of cold light flashed. In an instant, all those who were reported and exposed were killed on the spot without exception.
"I say again, is there anyone here who usually acts arrogantly and commits many evil deeds?"
He looked at the maids and servants, who were illuminated by the light of lanterns around them and had expressions of deep fear on their faces, like a ferocious monster, and shouted again!
"My brave man, please don't do anything!"
A maid stepped out from the crowd and said to Li Dingguo very calmly, "I know where the eldest son of the Jia family, Jia Zhisong, is hiding. He has not escaped from the Jia Mansion and is still hiding in the secret room in the backyard!"
"Her two sisters, Jia Huiqin and Jia Huizhi, had earlier rushed out of the Jia Mansion with a large number of servants and guards, along with Jia Shuisheng, and went to the big dock to meet the enemy."
"As for us, there are no people who deserve to die. We are all servants who are usually oppressed."
The maid had an ordinary appearance, but was articulate, courageous, and meticulous. She seemed to have guessed what Li Dingguo wanted to do and explained it in an orderly manner.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Li Dingguo suppressed his murderous intent and said to the brave and careful maid, "In this case, take me to find the hiding place of the eldest young master of the Jia family!"
"The rest of you, stay here for now. You are not allowed to wander around!"
"If anyone knows where the bad guys are hiding, just tell me, I will find them and kill them all!"
"To tell you the truth, the battle on Lingshan Island tonight was fought by me and my spiritual beast, the golden eagle!"
"So many enemy soldiers, including the Tartars and white barbarians, have been dealt with by me. You don't have to worry about me not being able to deal with the remaining enemy forces that are hiding!"
Li Dingguo understood human nature very well, so he gave them a shot of adrenaline, allowing them to speak freely and with confidence.
"what……"
Everyone at the scene was shocked and delighted when they heard what Li Dingguo said. Several people stepped out of the crowd and said to Li Dingguo, "My dear warrior, I know there is a tunnel in the inner courtyard of the Jia family that leads directly to a mansion outside. There must be some core members of the Jia family who have quietly hidden in the mansion nearby through that secret passage!"
"I know where the Jia family's treasure house is. I can take you there."
"I saw that when the Jia Mansion was in chaos, Jia Zhilin, the second young master of the Jia family, sneaked out of the Jia Mansion with several concubines and ran to the Mazu Temple, the goddess of the sea, three miles away!"...
When these servants saw how powerful Li Dingguo was, they began to rush to reveal information.
They are usually bullied badly, and now that they see those bad guys in trouble, of course they will add insult to injury.
"very good!"
Li Dingguo nodded and said, "After I have dealt with all the matters in this fortress city, all of you who report the remnants of the Jia family will be rewarded!"
"Those who don't want rewards can also come and sign up to help me. Starting tomorrow, I will need a lot of people to work for me."
"Once your ability to do things is recognized by me, I can also teach you how to practice, provide you with training resources, and help you or your family members become warriors!"
"But this requires you to have better luck. If you want to learn martial arts, you must have certain qualifications before you can get started."
He has been in high position for a long time, so of course he knows how to win the hearts of the people as quickly as possible and make them work wholeheartedly.
"Really?"
“That’s great!”
"I don't want any reward, I just want to work for my new master! I'm quite capable of doing things, I just didn't want to help these pirates and harm the innocent people."...
After hearing what Li Dingguo said, the servants at the scene, both men and women, started talking excitedly and shouting non-stop.
"Okay, you go first."
Li Dingguo said to the maid who stood up first, who was plain-looking but quite capable, "Take me there first to find Jia Zhisong, the eldest son of the Jia family, and send him to reunite with his dead father Jia Shuisheng in the eighteen levels of hell."
The remaining hidden enemies were trapped on the island with no escape. Li Dingguo wanted to take advantage of the rest of the night to thoroughly clean up Lingshan Island.
There will be a lot of things waiting for him to deal with tomorrow, and there is no extra time to waste.
"Okay! Please follow me."
The maid named by Li Dingguo stood out from the crowd, bowed to Li Dingguo, turned around and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard mansion.
