Fortunately, the depressing atmosphere did not last long, and the commander finally showed up.
Seeing the commander from afar, all the guards subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
If the commander-in-chief doesn't come, they are really afraid that the two deputy commanders will fight.
Shanxia straightened herself, walked quickly to the front of everyone, and bowed her head respectfully.
"Welcome, Master Jixin."
Ji Xin had a body of a snake with a tail. With a flick of the tail, he appeared in front of everyone.
He glanced at Shanxia and the others, and when he saw the only unfamiliar face present and the silver badge she was wearing, his gaze paused slightly.
When Shanxia raised his head, he saw this scene and quickly said what he had prepared.
"My lord, she is the demon cultivator I mentioned earlier, the one who killed Shuang Luo and took his place."
After saying this, Shanxia glared at Xu Chunniang.
"Your Excellency has come in person, why don't you greet him? Don't you take the Commander seriously at all?"
"Of course I don't."
Xu Chunniang finally moved, took a few steps towards Ji Xin's direction, lowered her head and put on a submissive attitude.
"Your Excellency is welcome."
Ji Xin glanced at Xu Chunniang, his expression showing no emotion, "What's your name?"
"Xu Chunniang."
"Did you kill Shuang Luo?"
"He wanted to kill me, so I had to kill him to protect myself."
Ji Xin frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
The female cultivator seemed respectful, but there was no fear of him in her words.
His tone was slightly cold, "I heard that after you killed Shuang Luo, you took the position of deputy commander, but you have been staying indoors all the time and have never been on duty for a day?"
Before Xu Chunniang could answer, Shanxia on the side explained in a "considerate" manner.
"My lord, she has not been on duty for eight consecutive days. She must have been injured in the battle with Shuang Luo and is recuperating at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xin's face turned cold.
The demons have amazing recovery abilities, so even if they are recovering from injuries, it won't take that long.
The so-called recuperation is just an excuse.
Shanxia observed his expression and continued to exaggerate, "Friend Xu has not been on duty for such a long time, I guess you must have gotten the adults' approval, right?"
Ji Xin's expression became even more unfriendly. He was the commander of the East City Gate, and the two deputy commanders were his direct subordinates.
After Xu Chunniang kills Shuang Luo, she must report to him immediately.
But it was not until three days ago that he received a message from Shanxia and learned of Shuang Luo's death.
From this, it can be seen that this woman does not take him, the commander, seriously at all!
Seeing the commander's unhappy expression, the Scorpion Woman had a bad feeling.
Clearly, this matter was mentioned clearly in the bone fragment she handed over to the adults that day.
Could it be that the Master has been so busy practicing these days that he has forgotten about it
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through the Scorpion Woman's mind.
If Lord Xu died, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive!
Finally, she gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and knelt on the ground.
"Commander-in-chief, Lord Xu once told me about this matter and asked me to report it to you. I was careless and missed it."
Ji Xin didn't even look at the Scorpion Woman, he waved his sleeves and casually released a stream of demonic energy, "Get lost!"
The Scorpion Woman was hit by the evil spirit and flew out heavily, falling into the yellow sand about seventy or eighty feet away and fainted.
Xu Chunniang glanced in the direction of the Scorpion Woman, and only withdrew her gaze when she realized that she was still alive.
She looked at Ji Xin, not even bothering to hide the impatience in her eyes.
"Commander, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Hearing such disrespectful words, Shanxia almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
If Xu Chunniang kowtowed and begged for mercy, she might still have a chance of survival.
But she repeatedly challenged Lord Ji Xin's authority and patience, which was undoubtedly seeking death.
It was a pity that he still regarded this woman as a strong rival, but now it seems that there is no need for that anymore.
Ji Xin laughed out of anger. He originally thought that anyone who could kill Shuang Luo must have some strength.
If the other party is sensible, he can just give him a light punishment and the matter will be over.
But her repeated offenses had already angered him.
Ji Xin's body slowly rose into the air, and a bow suddenly appeared in his hand. He looked at Xu Chunniang with indifference in his eyes.
The bow in his hand was of a faint red color. It was called the Wanyue Bow. When it was fully drawn, it looked like a full moon and could even draw on the power of the moon.
It is daytime now and there is no moon in the sky, so the power of the Wanyue Bow has been weakened.
However, this bow is more than enough to kill a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.
Seeing that Lord Ji Xin had even taken out the Wanyue Bow, Shanxia's eyes flashed with joy, and a huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He had been in a panic since he learned that Shuang Luo had been killed.
He is as strong as Shuang Luo. If the other party can kill Shuang Luo, he can definitely kill him as well.
After meeting her today and noticing that her cultivation had increased again, his sense of crisis reached its peak.
Fortunately, he had started planning several days ago, trying to find out about her while giving advice to the commander.
When she dies, he won't have to worry about his own safety anymore!
Shanxia retreated a little and watched the battle from a distance with other city guards, fearing that they would be affected by the residual power of the Wanyue Bow.
The changes at the city gate also attracted many monks living near the city gate.
They watched from afar and recognized Lord Ji Xin and the Wanyue bow in his hand.
Ji Xin held the bow in his left hand, and the demonic energy that continued to overflow from his right hand slowly condensed into an arrow.
He drew the bow, put an arrow on it, and slowly pulled the bowstring.
As he moved, the bowstring was pulled fuller and fuller.
Xu Chunniang, on the other hand, did not move from beginning to end, and watched the other party's movements with a smile.
The demon cultivators who were watching were confused and began to discuss in low voices.
"She can actually laugh when death is imminent?"
"Why didn't she hide? Could it be that she felt that even if she did, she couldn't escape?"
"Who knows? If you dare to anger Lord Ji Xin, dying a quick death is the best outcome."
The bowstring was fully drawn, and the magic arrow locked onto Xu Chunniang's figure, rushing towards her with a roar.
Xu Chunniang finally moved.
She raised her hand and casually threw out an alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace suddenly enlarged, blocking her in front of her, and meeting the arrow.
“Bang!”
The magic arrow hit the alchemy furnace, causing it to roar continuously.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and the demonic energy on the magic arrow was exhausted and dissipated powerlessly.
But the alchemy furnace was completely intact.
Xu Chunniang was not surprised by this result.
This alchemy furnace is a seventh-level treasure that can even block the Netherworld Fire, so it is natural for it to block the arrow without any effort.
Ji Xin is just a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Refinement Void Stage. Other cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage are afraid of him, but she is not.
Seeing that the alchemy furnace she took out could actually resist Lord Ji Xin's Wanyue Bow, the surrounding demon cultivators widened their eyes in disbelief.
"What is the origin of that alchemy furnace? It actually blocked Lord Ji Xin's arrow!"
"The Wanyue Bow is a sixth-grade treasure. The quality of this alchemy furnace is likely higher than that of the Wanyue Bow!"
"If I had such a treasure, I would have hidden it, so why would I show it to others so easily?"
The demon cultivators looked towards the alchemy furnace with eyes full of greed and passion.
Unfortunately, with Lord Jixin here, they will never get such benefits.
