Chapter 61: Completing the Side Quest
His teammates and Yin Yao County Princess are in Little Red Riding Hood. If a Night Wanderer loses his Yin corpse and spirit servants, it's like cutting off his own arms!
He needs to restore his level to 5 first. This way, his combat power will increase geometrically. So, he must do a side quest to save Wang Xiu!
"Where is the Ministry of Justice?" Hongjige asked loudly while flying on the roof ridge.
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to tell him to stop talking nonsense, he suddenly saw Hongjige, who was running wildly ahead, stumble as if he had hit something. At the same time, a sharp dagger protruded from his back, the tip of the blade stained with blood.
Hongjige bumped into a woman wearing a black and white Tai Chi fish Taoist robe. She appeared in front of Hongjige and pierced his heart with the tip of her knife.
A Night Wanderer!
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank, and then he became furious. He took out a dagger, and a bright yellow color lit up between his eyebrows, quickly spreading out and outlining a face with wide eyes and an angry expression of a divine fish!
With a 20% increase in all attributes, Zhang Yuanqing's muscles suddenly grew, and his speed increased. He arrived in an instant and slashed down with his dagger in rage.
The woman, with a beautiful and lovely appearance but a dull and indifferent expression, pulled out her dagger and turned into starlight and dissipated!
Zhang Yuanqing, who had missed his strike, resisted the urge to chase after her and grabbed Hongjige's arms, carrying him on his back and continuing to run wildly!
With a delay of only one or two seconds, the Divine Sharp Army's swordsman had already approached, slashing out sword energy from a dozen meters away!
Arrows rained down from behind. Zhang Yuanqing, with his increased attributes, dodged the sword energy slashes with agile movements and roared, "Are you still alive? Hongjige, if you're not dead, hold on tight!"
He felt Hongjige's chest spurting blood, the warmth staining his back.
"Quick, I'm dying," Hongjige cursed weakly, "You Night Wanderers are really dogs."
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had been attacked by a Night Wanderer. In the real world, Night Wanderers are rare and mostly gathered in the Taiyi Sect. Moreover, as an official organization, they basically wouldn't conflict with him.
Night Wanderers with Yin corpses and spirit servants are even more dog-like. Once Hongjige hugged his neck tightly, Zhang Yuanqing took out the Swiftwind Gloves and soared into the air amidst the whistling wind.
Using wind to avoid the star official's attack was the best way!
Wearing a Tai Chi fish Taoist robe, she should be a disciple of the National Preceptor. In that case, the National Preceptor should be a spiritual energy cultivator of the Night Wanderer profession.
Zhang Yuanqing flew higher and higher, the wind howling. He changed direction and swept towards the Ministry of Justice. In the process, he took out a tube of Life Elixir and injected it into Hongjige's arm vein. Then, he grabbed the token, activated the gem on the scepter, and released a pure green light!
With both methods working simultaneously, Hongjige's heart quickly stopped bleeding and healed. The city defense troops on the street quickly changed direction and continued to pursue.
Several military generals abandoned their carriages, took off their armor, and followed the example of the Divine Sharp Army's Saints, leaping between the roof ridges in pursuit. The young woman in the Taoist robe stood still, staring blankly at the sky without chasing.
Zhang Yuanqing rode the wind, looking down at the prosperous capital, the entire city at a glance. He saw streets crisscrossing, pavilions and houses scattered, and a bustling crowd!
At the same time, he also saw several city defense troops on nearby streets heading towards the Red Sleeve Pavilion. After discovering him flying in the air, they hurriedly changed direction and continued to pursue on the ground!
As expected, the city defense troops had made arrangements early. The longer I delayed in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, the more dangerous it would be!
Zhang Yuanqing took out another tube of Life Elixir and injected it into Hongjige's arm. He originally wanted to sneak into the Ministry of Justice to rescue Wang Xiu, but in this situation, he could only force his way in.
Fortunately, there are few Rulers in this era. Otherwise, with his actions, he would have been shot down long ago!
Thinking this, Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously looked up at the tall Tower of Heavenly Secrets. He was afraid that the National Preceptor would suddenly fly out and slap him into the ground.
In addition to the National Preceptor, he also feared the level 6 Saints of the imperial court, especially the Saints of the Imperial City Guard. Compared to the city defense troops, the Imperial City Guard, as the emperor's personal guard, was truly full of experts.
The Imperial City Guard serves the emperor and resides in the inner city of the palace. It would take time for them to arrive. He must rescue Wang Xiu as soon as possible and then hide again.
Once the experts of the Imperial City Guard arrive, I'll be in danger!
Zhang Yuanqing quickly calculated in his mind. Soon, a group of buildings with a unified style appeared in front of him.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the enemies falling behind in the distance and, riding the wind, descended and broke into the Ministry of Justice.
Wang Xiu should be in the back of the Ministry of Justice. The prison wouldn't be in the front or middle courtyard of the Ministry of Justice!
Before the experts of the Ministry of Justice could react, Zhang Yuanqing grabbed a middle-aged man in a green official uniform, grabbed him by the neck, and asked, "Where are the three hundred boys and girls being held?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged official shouted loudly, "Where are the three hundred boys and girls being held?"
The officials who heard this shouted in unison, "Someone come, someone come, a thief is trying to break into the prison!"
Die! Remember to be sensible after refreshing! Zhang Yuanqing snapped the other party's throat with a crack, and a dark, viscous energy appeared in his eyes. He swallowed the middle-aged man's spirit body. The spirit body of mortals doesn't need an immersive experience. He instantly digested and absorbed the memory fragments.
Then, he said to Hongjige, "Delay them. I'll go save people!"
Hongjige didn't expect Yuan Shi Tianzun to come to the Ministry of Justice to save people. In his opinion, the most important thing now was to run away.
But since this was Yuan Shi Tianzun's decision, he would unconditionally trust and obey because the other party had a brain.
So, he nodded, "Hurry up. I don't know how long I can last."
After saying that, he threw out human head-sized fireballs in all directions and shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
Hearing the commotion, the officials in the office rushed out, and sure enough, they saw a raging fire. Just as they were about to organize firefighting, they saw Hongjige setting fires everywhere and became furious, "The thief is setting fires."
Hongjige slapped his butt and ran, provoking loudly, "Come and catch me, come and catch me."
Amidst the chaos, Zhang Yuanqing hid his figure and ran wildly towards the west. The Ministry of Justice has two prisons: one for ordinary prisoners in the west and one for practitioners in the north.
