Yao City was now under strict control. No matter who entered or left the city, they had to go through layers of checks. Finally, they could enter or leave only after the exclusive disciples made sure that they did not carry any poison.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao had taken the corresponding measures before the city was sealed. The situation in the city was soon under control, and the normal life of the civilians would not be greatly affected.
But some people would not let it go so smoothly.
Most of the people in Yao City were from the Baili Clan. After Lin Mengya took over Yao City, these people did not know the inside story, so they were ready to make trouble.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they heard a loud noise.
"Yao City belongs to the Baili Clan. Since when did you outsiders have the right to make decisions?"
"We want to see the master. Get out of my way!"
She got off the horse and someone immediately came to report.
"Master, I don't know who instigated them, but these people are clamoring to see their master."
She nodded and knew what was going on.
She followed her subordinates into the city, but someone recognized her.
"It's her! She is the master of the Poison Clan, Gong Ya! "
In an instant, the crowd surged towards her, surrounding her in layers and layers.
Lin Mengya was very calm as she watched them denounce her.
What they said was nothing more than words that implied that she had taken over the Baili Clan and overstepped her ancestors' authority.
Seeing that she did not respond, the group of people thought that she had a guilty conscience.
Because of this, he became more confident, and his words of accusation became more explicit.
In the end, they were even more impassioned, as if she had done something unforgivable.
"Anyway, you have to give us an explanation today. Yao City has belonged to the Baili Clan since ancient times. You, an outsider, are here to criticize us. Where do you think we are?"
Lin Mengya smiled coldly and said to that person, "Oh? Then let me ask you, what if I give in today? What if I don't? "
Seeing that she was a woman, the person's tone became even more domineering.
"If you give in, you and I will live in harmony. If not, I can only ask you to leave!"
She only felt that the person in front of her was too stupid. She waved away her subordinates who wanted to go forward to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.
"Ask? I'm afraid you're chasing me away? But if you really have the ability, why are you wasting your breath on me here? "
Her disdainful tone exposed the other party's bluff, and the man's face instantly flushed red. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "You're a guest, and I'm just being polite before resorting to force. Since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at the Baili family's old residence. But let me say this first, I have a bad habit. When I fight, I tend to use underhanded methods, and I don't recognize anyone. If you dare to come, you'd better buy yourself a coffin so that your family won't be in a hurry to collect the corpse. "
His words severely deterred those who wanted to fish in troubled waters. After he finished speaking, he left with his people, leaving those clowns to continue making a fool of themselves.
"Go and find out why these people suddenly rioted."
At the side, someone immediately left after receiving the order.
She was not surprised that such a situation had occurred. However, these people had been silent yesterday. Today, they had confirmed that the Baili Family was under her control. They even came here to make trouble.
She was certain that not a single member of the Baili family had escaped from under her watch that day.
Moreover, those people had seen her means. How would they dare to instigate these unarmed clansmen?
Soon, one of his men reported back the information.
"You're saying that there are indeed people secretly spreading rumors that I want to annex the Baili family?"
The subordinate nodded and respectfully told her all the information he had inquired.
"Yes. Not only that, but some people even said that we're doing this to kill all the Baili Family members and occupy Yaocheng. Now those clansmen are discussing how to break through our blockade."
"Heh, this is really a case of taking my good intentions for ill intent."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya could not help but show a sarcastic smile.
"Master, what should we do?"
"Don't worry. If they have a head-on conflict with us, tell our men to ignore them and let them out of the city."
"Yes."
She had already guessed that such a thing must be done by someone behind the scenes.
Since they wanted to go out, she would fulfill their wish.
After dealing with all this, she took the remains to her teacher and uncle.
After hearing about Baili Jian's atrocities, both Baili Rui and Wu Chong were furious.
However, compared to the wreckage that had been used, they were more worried about something else.
"Those people didn't know where the remains were buried. Although we didn't collect them very carefully, I'm sure that they couldn't find it."
Her teacher's words made her think more.
"You mean, they might have found another place?"
Her teacher nodded and then sighed.
"You don't know how dangerous it is. What I'm afraid of now is that they took the things out."
Lin Mengya's heart tightened.
Even her teacher felt it was tricky. Obviously, the situation was more urgent than she had expected.
Seeing her serious face, Baili Rui knew that his words brought great pressure to his student.
"You don't have to worry too much. The environment there is completely different from here. Even if they want to take some things out, they may not be able to use them."
Seeing her teacher's confident look, Lin Mengya couldn't help but be more curious. But she knew that her teacher and uncle were very principled people, and they would never let those people go.
Those remains had been tested by her teacher and uncle and found that after calcining, there were signs of detoxification, which meant that the high temperature was the key.
But the strange thing was that even if the toxins in these bones had all disappeared, they couldn't be used as an antidote.
She had been blocking the news and didn't disclose the fact that the children would be infected.
Fortunately, they reacted in time and controlled the source of the poison in the fief of the Baili Family. Otherwise, if the poison broke out on a large scale, there would be more terrible things happening.
In the evening, when she was working with her teacher and the others, Cai Ru hurriedly came to report.
"Master, they have rushed out of the city."
Lin Mengya nodded and didn't panic at all.
After a while, Cai Ru reported again.
"I don't know where they got weapons and horses, but they are preparing to attack Yaocheng again!"
Lin Mengya put down the things in her hands and rubbed between her eyebrows.
"I didn't expect them to have this trick up their sleeves. Tell them to open the gates and fight the enemies!"
They had all miscalculated one thing. They thought that she had brought the people from the Poison Sect with her.
Their combat power.
This time, she would make them beg for help.
In the dungeon, Baili Jian, who had been silent all this time, finally became active.
He arrogantly requested to see Lin Mengya. When she rushed into the dungeon, Baili Jian looked at her with a smug face.
"Isn't Sect Master Gong in a terrible state now? It was no wonder. Who could have imagined that the ordinary commoners of Brilliance City were actually trained elite soldiers? Master Gong, you are still too young. "
"Oh, is that so?"
She crossed her arms and didn't seem to be moved.
Baili Jian probably thought that he had won, so he also revealed his arrogant nature.
"Do you know why only the people from the Baili Family can stay in Yaocheng?"
She pursed her lips and didn't say a word. Baili Jian was even more certain that she had no way to fight back.
"That's because I have been secretly training the people of the Baili Family since more than ten years ago. No matter if they are men or women, young or old, they can fight at the critical moment. You think that you have occupied Yaocheng, but in fact, you are just catching a turtle in a jar. "
"Are you done? Can I leave now? "
Baili Jian's arrogant laughter was stuck in his throat. He didn't notice that Lin Mengya's emotions were too cold and calm from the beginning.
"Are you going to use me to threaten them? Let me tell you, it's impossible! "
"Are you qualified to be a hostage?"
Lin Mengya's question made Baili Jian choke on his words.
"No one in this world is perfect. How much do you know about leading an army to war? I think you don't dare to train those famous generals in order to hide the news, right? There is one more thing you must not have thought of. I was born in a family of generals, and three generations of my ancestors were famous generals. Do you think I can't see through such a simple plan? "
Her sarcasm was so straightforward that Baili Jian's face turned from white to purple.
Lin Mengya felt that it was not enough. She continued to say, "My father has been on the battlefield for many years and has never been defeated. My brother was a vanguard general when he was a teenager and could kill his way through the enemy. My husband is also proficient in the art of war. If you want to play tricks with me, you won't be a match for me even if you reincarnate three times. "
Perhaps she would be fearful of other schemes, but when it came to leading an army into battle, she was a master of it.
As she walked out, she said mockingly, "What a coincidence. Now my father, my brother, and my husband are all here. Oh, by the way, Senior Cheng was also a general in the army. How can you compete with me? "
Baili Jian, who was behind her, was not as calm as he was at the beginning. He shouted through the gate, "Even if you have several good generals, what can you do? Without an army, they can only fight alone! "
She turned around and looked at him with pity in her eyes.
"Who told you that I don't have an army?"
She slowly raised the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.
"From the moment I decided to protect the world in your hands, I have an invincible and irreplaceable army!"
She ignored Baili Jian's shouting behind her.
He was just a defeated general. From now on, she would pull out all his claws and teeth, so that he could no longer do evil in the world.
She turned over and mounted the horse, and arrived at the city gate as fast as she could.
The miscellaneous army, which was unscrupulous and thought that they were invincible, was now surrounded in the middle, trembling.
Long Tianhao, who was wearing a light armor, looked down at these useless people.
"Fight or surrender!"
