040 Revenge Begins with the Ding Family
Most of the county town was reduced to ruins by the falling stone pillar, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless.
The magistrate of Yun County and Li Qijue were busy settling the people and providing relief to the wounded, and soon they were extremely busy.
Even Zhao Wanyu, Xia Chan, and Yun Mengling joined the porridge distribution and disaster relief team.
With Pang Hu and others keeping watch, there's no need to worry about hooligans causing trouble.
Ning Kui rode his big black horse alone towards the north city.
He and Lingduo had already agreed that he would go to Rentou Mountain five days later to get the fourth-level Devouring God Gu from her.
The time hadn't come yet, but Ning Kui didn't want to wait any longer.
Thanks to its poverty, the northern part of the city suffered the least slaughter, except for the final catastrophic rockfall that collapsed several thatched huts.
You could say that even the poor have their blessings.
Upon arriving at the summit of Rentou Mountain, in a huge, naturally collapsed pit, Lingduo sat cross-legged, her hands forming a strange hand seal.
A ceramic furnace covered in incantations floated in front of her chest, with strands of black mist constantly emanating from it.
The pottery stove shook violently from time to time, emitting terrifying sounds as if living creatures were crawling inside.
Lingduo opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and looked at Ning Kui with suspicion in her emerald green eyes: "Brother Ning, how did you know that the Devouring God Gu was refined ahead of schedule?"
Do you possess some kind of supernatural surveillance ability?
Ning Kui leaned on his dragon-scale halberd, looking down at her from his elevated position.
During this upheaval, there was a female disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon Cult who used Gu worms to control corpse puppets, and it is unknown what her relationship was with Ling Duo.
Will their fragile alliance turn into a life-or-death struggle?
"Did you come to Yugu County with someone or alone?"
Ning Kui felt it was best to ask first. In a place where Ling Duo couldn't see, several water dragons had already condensed and taken shape.
If things don't look right, then flood her with water.
Lingduo frowned: "You saw my junior sister? She's a typical vixen, she has a lust-inducing Gu that she uses to seduce men, Ning-di, you..."
"Did she trick me into bed? Ugh, that would make me all dirty..."
Ning Kui was speechless. He would never be easily conquered by a woman. If you don't believe me, you can try using the Desire-Burning Gu on a stunning beauty.
"She is dead."
Ning Kui stared intently at Ling Duo, ready to strike first if she showed even the slightest sign of something amiss.
"That vixen is dead? Tch, serves her right." Lingduo said nonchalantly, then reached out and grasped the pottery furnace: "This fourth-rank Devouring God Gu is enough to severely damage that old mudfish's cultivation, and he will also suffer the pain of having his dragon tendons eaten throughout the process."
Little brother Ning, your sister hasn't slept for three days and three nights to help you refine this treasure.
How do you plan to repay your sister?
"How do you plan to repay me?"
"How about..." Lingduo's eyes darted around, and she said teasingly, "Let you try my lust-inducing Gu?"
She was dressed very lightly, and with Ning Kui looking down from his vantage point, the view was already quite alluring.
These words scratched at his heart, which was as hard as iron, and caused him to momentarily lose his composure.
Upon closer inspection, Lingduo was nowhere to be seen beneath the sinkhole.
not good!
He gripped the Dragon Scale Halberd tightly, about to turn and slash, when a cold body pressed against his back, and a jade-like arm wrapped around his slender waist.
A strange sensation came from both sides of his shoulder blades, soft yet firm.
Warm breath then landed on his neck, tickling him and carrying the sweet scent of wild berries.
"Honestly, I'm completely open with you, and you try to outsmart me."
"Get rid of all these cement eels. I won't hurt you. I'm waiting for you to get stronger so I can benefit from your strength~"
"You... used the Desire-Burning Gu on me??"
Ning Kui asked in a flustered manner, which made Ling Duo pause for a moment, then burst out laughing, her cheeks slightly flushed as she released Ning Kui.
Her gaze shifted to below his belt, and she said reproachfully, "Oh, you're such a naughty little brother!"
Realizing he had made a blunder, Ning Kui coughed and forced a change of topic: "Witch, let me see the God-Devouring Gu."
Here you go.
The pottery stove flew into Ning Kui's hands. As soon as he opened a crack, a strange insect with a purple-green body and a huge mouth slithered across the stove lid.
The insect was incredibly strong; despite being only an inch in size, it forced Ning Kui to use all his strength to hold down the furnace lid.
Seeing this, Lingduo sprinkled a ring of white powder on the lid, and the Devouring God Gu immediately emitted a terrified "squeak" sound and obediently shrank back into the pottery furnace.
"Before feeding the Dragon King, first put the Devouring God Gu into a state of suspended animation with the Gu-suppressing powder, and then have a living person swallow it."
Three hours later, the Devouring God Gu will automatically awaken.
If the human bait is already inside the dragon's belly, then it can enjoy the ultimate pleasure of having its tendons gnawed away.
"Only three hours...?"
In such a short time, how can we guarantee that the Dragon King will eat the person who has the God-Devouring Gu hidden in their stomach?
There are only two options.
He looked at Lingduo with a shameless grin: "Sister, could you refine a few hundred more God-Devouring Gu for me?"
In return, she received a pair of charmingly disdainful eyes from Lingduo.
Then there's only one last option: have the person carrying the God-Devouring Gu jump into the Dragon King's mouth.
If this disaster had occurred, it might have been difficult to find such a person.
But now...
There are people like that all over Yugu County.
Their parents were murdered, their wives were arbitrarily violated, and their children were abused like toys.
They are willing to do anything for revenge.
Ning Kui carefully put away the God-Devouring Gu and waved goodbye to Ling Duo: "Thank you very much this time. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Lingduo covered her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise, and asked, "It has to be later? Can't it be done sooner?"
Even though he knew that this vixen was toying with him, Ning Kui was still somewhat unable to resist.
He decided not to get entangled with her, cupped his hands in greeting, and left.
Not long after he left, a colorful Gu worm suddenly flapped its wings and landed on Ning Kui's shoulder.
Lingduo's voice then came from the insect's abdomen: "Brother Ning, this is a sound transmission Gu. It can be used to transmit messages within a radius of twenty miles."
If you feel lonely at night, don't call your sister's name, okay? She can hear you~
"Pah, you witch."
--------
When Ning Kui returned to Yugu County, the disaster relief mission sent from Jing'an Prefecture had already arrived.
The leader was also a Silver-Ranked Envoy of the Rebellion Suppression Division.
He looked to be around thirty years old, with a neatly trimmed beard, sharp eyes, and an air of officialdom about him.
Simply put, they seem difficult to get along with.
He brought with him various supplies urgently needed for the reconstruction of Yugu County, as well as information about Wang Xiangong's handling of Li Qijue.
As expected, after advancing to the Elephant Realm, Li Qijue will be sent back to Jade Capital City.
"From now on, I will assist Magistrate Yun in completing the reforms. Lord Li can return to the capital with peace of mind."
He also brought with him three bronze-level pacification envoys at the Bone Refining Realm and ten iron-level pacification envoys at the Flesh Refining Realm, confident that this was enough to offset the impact of Li Qijue's departure.
"Li Qijue! Come here quickly, I have an idea, let's take down the Ding family first!"
Ning Kui stormed into the county government office, interrupting the negotiations between the two parties.
The Silver Badge Suppression Envoy frowned, and his subordinate immediately and sensibly reprimanded, "The lords are discussing important matters. Who are you? Don't you have any manners? Get out!"
Li Qijue's face immediately turned ugly, and he pointed at Ning Kui and said, "He is the prodigy of Yugu County that I mentioned before, Ning Kui."
"Oh~", Silver Badge Suppressor nodded and said, "So you're considered one of our Rebellion Suppression Division now? Flesh Refining Realm?"
"Then stand in the second row behind me."
Ning Kui raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Qijue. No, is this the kind of person his new boss is?
Why are you putting on airs with me?
Li Qijue shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that if he didn't express his opinion, Ning Kui might even have to give up his status as an externally hired demon hunter.
He stretched out his palm and slapped the Silver Badge Suppressor across the face: "Leave the supplies, and get back to Jing'an Prefecture."
There is still one month left in the transition period; I will select a replacement in due course!
