Yun Ze had been to Weishan Prefecture before and naturally knew the location of the yamen.
He closed his eyes and calculated in his mind, a plan taking shape!
Since this government office was so corrupt, why not let the clear water wash it clean!
Yun Ze first tied the three heads to his waist, then his body began to slowly ascend. Even when he surfaced, a mass of water containing fish still enveloped him, and he stood on a water column.
This was a necessary measure of concealment.
If his face were to be accidentally seen by others, it would be disastrous.
As the water column rose higher and higher, many people on the lake noticed the anomaly. They rushed to the deck, holding lanterns and shouting.
"Look! What is that!"
"Lake Immortal! Yes! It must be the Lake Immortal!"
In the Tangshan Dynasty, the belief in immortals and gods was prevalent. Wherever there were people, there were immortals. The deity appearing in the lake was naturally the Lake Immortal.
As the shouts echoed, the pleasure boats on the lake gradually stopped swaying, and more and more people gathered on deck, looking up at the rising water column!
This was the effect Yun Ze wanted.
He ascended to a certain height and saw the Dengwen Drum set up in the distance. He casually condensed a water ball, wrapped the three corpses of the yamen runners in it, and hurled it towards the yamen!
"Immortal's punishment! It's immortal's punishment!"
"What immortal's punishment, I think it's an immortal's blessing! It must be that the Lake Immortal has bestowed something upon our Weishan Prefecture!"
"Whether it's immortal's punishment or immortal's blessing, let's go and see first!"
The crowd shouted again.
Many boats even docked, intending to find where the water ball landed. Yun Ze looked around, his gaze falling upon the largest mansion in Weishan Prefecture.
If he guessed correctly, that should be the He Manor.
Yun Ze felt the aura within him, finding that roughly half of it remained.
Since that was the case, he might as well bestow another one!
Yun Ze condensed a large ball of clear water and casually hurled it towards the He Manor!
In the darkness of the night, as the water ball fell into the He Manor, the entire mansion was suddenly illuminated, and shouts of alarm filled the air, as if something major had happened.
Immediately afterward, a figure slowly rose into the air from the darkness!
"Damn it!"
"The immortal is in the He Manor!"
Yun Ze's heart trembled, and he quickly plunged back into the lake!
Now, the mysterious aura within him was completely depleted, and he could not use the water flow to help him move forward. He could only swim towards the shore while continuing to breathe, accumulating the mysterious energy.
At the same time.
A figure swayed and rose into the air from the He family. Seeing the figure wrapped in the water ball fall into the lake, his heart trembled uncontrollably!
"This... is manipulating the five elements!"
"This should be a technique that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm, no, above the Core Formation realm, can control."
"Could it be that my actions have alerted the Immortal Prefecture's patrol envoy, and this water ball is here to warn me?"
"No, I can't stay in the He Manor any longer!"
"Even if I want to continue searching for the Immortal Jade, I'll need to find a helper first. I must report to the elder!"
The figure hurriedly descended from the air, almost losing his footing upon landing.
It seemed that with a Qi Refining cultivation, performing the art of flight was still somewhat strenuous.
"Immortal!"
He Laichao rushed forward, already drenched: "Why... why is this happening?"
"It's all because of your good deeds!"
The immortal would naturally not take the blame upon himself, and casually fabricated: "Your actions have been exposed, and it is only natural to suffer divine retribution. How dare you ask me why?"
He Laichao's heart trembled, and two words immediately flashed in his mind.
"The village massacre!"
"It must be because of the village massacre!"
After I told my father, he also said that what I did harmed heavenly harmony, and I didn't expect to actually suffer divine retribution!
He Laichao quickly asked, "Then, immortal, what should I..."
"Hmm?"
The immortal frowned, let out a soft hum, and directly interrupted him.
He Laichao immediately understood, quickly took out dozens of silver notes from his pocket, and offered them with both hands: "Please, immortal, enlighten me!"
"It's simple."
The immortal put the silver notes into his robe and then said, "Find the root cause, and kill it with the soul-sealing technique. If there are no wronged souls to accuse you, then the divine retribution will naturally not fall.
Perhaps, the person you are looking for has already arrived in Weishan Prefecture."
Although he called himself an immortal, he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage and had to travel in the mortal world. Naturally, he still needed silver notes to live a carefree life.
For the sake of money, he even passed on some cultivation techniques to He Laichao. As for how far he could cultivate, it all depended on his own fortune.
"Yes!" Kuai Shu Ge
He Laichao did not feel anything amiss and quickly cupped his hands: "Thank you, immortal, for your enlightenment!"
"Guards! Seal off Weishan Prefecture! Search every household!"
He Laichao turned and ordered his servants, his tone completely different from before: "I want to see where that little beast can hide!"
When the servants heard this, they did not act immediately. Instead, they stood stunned, lost in thought as they stared at the water stains on the ground.
Had their young master gone mad?
Even after suffering divine retribution, he dared to defy heaven. If they helped him, who knew if they wouldn't also suffer divine retribution!
"Are you all deaf!"
He Laichao stepped forward and kicked one of them in the backside, roaring at everyone: "Hurry up and go!"
...
"Achoo!"
As Yun Ze swam to the shore and landed, he immediately sneezed.
He looked around and found that the immortal had not pursued him, which he found a bit strange.
However, now was not the time to be strange.
Although his actions had somewhat exposed him, they could let the common people know the 'Lake Immortal's' attitude towards the yamen.
Given the fervor of the Tangshan Dynasty's people's faith in immortals and gods, the fall of these two water balls would increase the public's dissatisfaction with the He family and the yamen!
Coupled with years of public resentment, it would make it difficult for the He family to move in Weishan Prefecture and would lay the foundation for his future revenge.
For now, he would take these three heads back to the inn. Tomorrow, when he cultivated, he would listen to public opinion.
Perhaps, without him even lifting a finger, the people of Weishan Prefecture would help him overturn the He Manor!
Yun Ze fantasized in his heart, quickly returning to the inn with the three heads tied to his waist.
The inn, which had been almost full, was now empty. Apart from Bu Bu and the old beggar, all the waiters had run off to see where the Lake Immortal's blessing or punishment had landed.
Yun Ze easily went upstairs, found a large wooden box, filled it with water, placed the three heads inside, and then used the Immortal Jade to freeze the water into ice to prevent the heads from decaying.
He didn't know why, but it seemed that as long as he touched the Immortal Jade, the method of using it would naturally appear in his mind.
With the last trace of mysterious energy he had cultivated completely used up, Yun Ze leaned against the wooden box and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, two yamen runners in black leather dog uniforms had already arrived!
