Chapter 113: Timely Rain, Jiang Ning!
In an ordinary residence.
Is there news about the missing subordinates?
Bai Luoyu's heart stirred.
Looking at the unusually robust County Magistrate Deng standing at the door, he immediately regained his composure.
His primary purpose in personally leading a team to Baisha County is, of course, to find his missing subordinates.
But after witnessing the various unusual places in Baisha County yesterday.
Last night, he even saw the God Worship Sect followers parading through the streets with torches at night, chanting enchanting verses.
He realized that those missing subordinates had most likely perished here.
From the surface appearance of Baisha County, he could tell that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
The infiltration of the God Worship Sect was too deep.
Especially upon seeing County Magistrate Deng Fei of Baisha County, he knew the root of the problem.
County Magistrate Deng Fei, it is obvious that he has now been beguiled by the Evil God worshipped by the God Worship Sect, now reduced to a puppet of the Evil God, with muddled eyes and disordered thoughts.
Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind.
Bai Luoyu immediately acted surprised.
"Is there really news of my subordinates?"
"Of course, there is!" Deng Fei nodded, then said, "If Master Bai doesn't believe it, come with me, and you'll see!"
Upon hearing this.
Bai Luoyu immediately nodded: "Alright! I'll go with County Magistrate Deng."
"Sir!!" The subordinate who had come with Bai Luoyu immediately spoke with urgency.
Bai Luoyu raised his hand to stop the subordinate from speaking and then said, "County Magistrate Deng, wait! I need to go back and freshen up!"
"What do you mean by freshen up?" Deng Fei looked puzzled and bewildered.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Luoyu looked speechless.
"Brush my teeth, wash my face!" he said flatly.
"What do you need to do that for? It's a waste of time!" Deng Fei said gruffly.
Bai Luoyu said indifferently, "County Magistrate Deng, you don't understand, I come from the Bai Family, and was born with this habit!"
"Alright then!" Deng Fei nodded upon hearing this: "I'll wait for Master Bai outside!"
As he finished speaking, he grinned, revealing crimson gums.
Bai Luoyu saw this, his expression unruffled.
...
In a small backyard.
"Sir, why did you agree with the Baisha County Magistrate? This is clearly a trap!" one of Bai Luoyu's subordinates said.
"I know!" Bai Luoyu nodded, then said, "Didn't you notice? We all see that the Baisha County Magistrate has already had a problem, but he himself is completely unaware."
"Sir, how... did you figure it out?" one of the subordinates asked.
"It's very simple! The lame excuse I just made, any normal person could see through as a delaying tactic! But that Baisha County Magistrate actually believed it!"
At this point, Bai Luoyu pointed to his own head.
"I suspect that something is wrong with their heads, and their cognition is impaired!"
"They may have already ignored the changes in themselves, considering it natural!"
"And County Magistrate Deng may not have lied to me, at least, not in his eyes!"
Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, several people immediately pondered.
Soon after, Bai Luoyu said calmly.
"No matter what! Let's delay as much as possible, I've just sent a message to Master Zhao and Lord Jiang!"
"The two of them should have received my message by now and are on their way here!"
Upon hearing this, the few people's expressions lit up.
"Grandmaster Zhao is coming as well?"
"Of course!" Bai Luoyu nodded.
"Sir, with the Grandmaster's speed, how long do we need to delay?" someone asked the critical question.
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu pondered for a moment.
Then he slowly spoke: "If they travel at full speed, Master Zhao will arrive in Baisha County within half a day at most!"
"Half a day!" the person murmured, then looked up at the sky.
"According to what Sir says, the Residence Master will come to aid by the afternoon!" the person said.
"That's right!" Bai Luoyu nodded slightly.
Then said: "So let's delay as long as we can!"
"At your command, Sir!" the person said.
...
On the other side.
Upon receiving Bai Luoyu's message.
Jiang Ning immediately chose to set out.
He knew that if Bai Luoyu was calling for help, it meant the situation was extremely dangerous.
Bai Luoyu had helped him many times before, so he couldn't possibly refuse to offer assistance.
With the Water Escape Divine Ability, and his current speed on the verge of breaking the sound barrier, in just a moment, he had already appeared atop the walls of Baisha City.
"Who goes there!!"
The soldiers guarding the city sensed the commotion and immediately looked up at the tall city tower.
In the next moment, they saw Jiang Ning standing on the city tower.
Sensing the movements below, Jiang Ning glanced down and immediately furrowed his brow.
He could feel that the aura clinging to these soldiers was somewhat off.
It was the aura of the Blood and Flesh God!!
With a flash of insight, he immediately realized.
He also remembered when they were purging the God Worship Sect in Luoshui County before.
The same aura emanated from those followers, chaotic and evil, like that from a quagmire.
Such a clear aura, if placed in Luoshui County, He Jinyun and others would have surely destroyed it completely as it was an achievement.
Subsequently.
He looked towards the forward stretching array of buildings rising and falling unevenly.
In the next moment.
He placed his right hand's index and middle fingers together on his brow center.
In an instant.
A white vertical pattern appeared on his brow center.
In the vertical pattern, a brilliant white light radiated, seemingly about to open at any moment.
After activating the Heavenly Eye, he once again scanned the undulating buildings before him.
Instantly, his brow furrowed.
With the Heavenly Eye's divine skills, he could see information that was previously invisible.
Seeing a mass of dark purple clouds hovering over the entire city.
Under the shroud of the dark purple clouds, even amid the rising morning sun, the entire Baisha City seemed to be in a world of gray.
