344: Chapter 198: The Evil Slave and the Grand Sorcerer_5 344: Chapter 198: The Evil Slave and the Grand Sorcerer_5 The Prefectural Governor revealed a smile, laughing as he said, “All of you are ready to die for me, and how could I not be willing to face death resolutely to protect the people and uphold the law? Am I to watch the people suffer while fearing death and not daring to confront it? If so, what’s the point of me being the Prefectural Governor? I might as well go home and farm.” The constable showed a look of shame. “Call the brothers! Today, we will capture the demon and restore peace to Taiping Prefecture.” “Yes.” The constable was boiling with fervor. Suddenly, everyone from the Prefectural Governor’s Mansion set out. Sun Wukong did not know that his decision had led the local Prefectural Governor to make up his mind to eradicate the Grand Sorcerer. He was now hurrying to the residence of the Grand Sorcerer with the wicked servant. The residence was vast and expansive. Before even entering, Sun Wukong sensed resentment. This was the malice that arose when people died violently, and their souls were not able to transcend. At that moment, an old man came forward and grabbed Sun Wukong’s arm. “Young master, you really can’t go in there. The Grand Sorcerer has magic powers that can kill people and then keep their souls for his own amusement. He especially loves to torture young and beautiful girls to death, then use his magic to keep their souls as his playthings. You must not lead these two girls to their deaths.” The wicked servant gave the old man a glance and sneered, “Tailor Li, you actually dare to betray us; I must inform the Grand Sorcerer, and have your family broken and destroyed.” The old man turned pale and then said furiously, “As a lone elder, I’m not afraid of your Grand Sorcerer. I would rather die than stand by and watch this young man fall victim to you.” Being alone, he truly had nothing to fear; at most, it would mean only his own death. But he could not bear to see these three young people die like this. Especially the two beauties; the Grand Sorcerer would certainly not let them go. Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Old man, rest assured, a mere demon is not worth my concern. Today I will rid you of this calamity.” The wicked servant scoffed, “The toad yawns—what a big breath you take! A mere mortal, yet you dare to speak such big words. There have been young heroes and heroines who have come to trouble our master, the Grand Sorcerer, and now their souls are among those played with by our master. Your fate will be the same.” Sun Wukong was noncommittal and stepped forward to push the door open. Just at this moment, a troop of men came rushing over. Leading them was a civil official with a Vast Righteous Qi, a Longsword hanging at his waist. His face stern with resolve, he led dozens of constables to the front, surrounding the entrance. This man was none other than the Prefectural Governor of Taiping Prefecture. When he saw the appearance of Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth, the Prefectural Governor was momentarily taken aback, a trace of amazement flashing in his eyes. But he quickly averted his gaze, his expression clear and proper, without a trace of impropriety. This caused Sun Wukong and the others to nod to themselves, recognising that this man was a good official, truly full of integrity. “Prefectural Governor? What do you intend to do?” The wicked servant’s face changed slightly as he bellowed. Seeing the display put on by the Prefectural Governor, he knew there was trouble. Although his master claimed to know Great Magic and Immortal Techniques, the sight of the Prefectural Governor with so many men made the wicked servant anxious. He was blusteringly challenging the Prefectural Governor. “Capture him.” The Prefectural Governor didn’t even glance at him; a mere wicked servant wasn’t deserving of his notice. Following the Prefectural Governor’s command, a group of men stepped forward and directly seized the wicked servant. The wicked servant struggled, but he couldn’t break free. Just as he was about to hurl an insult, a constable slapped him across the mouth, immediately silencing him. Sun Wukong sized up the Prefectural Governor, and the Prefectural Governor assessed Sun Wukong. When he saw Sun Wukong, the Prefectural Governor couldn’t help but inwardly praise him, “What an outstanding man; no wonder he is accompanied by such incredibly beautiful women.” The impression Sun Wukong gave him was quite striking. Standing there, he looked magnificent, like a born hero. Even if he was trying to conceal his sharpness, he still resembled a natural-born hero. “Young Hero, I’ve heard that you are looking for trouble with this Grand Sorcerer,” the Prefectural Governor pondered for a moment before addressing Sun Wukong as Young Hero. He thought that Sun Wukong didn’t seem like a cultivator, but more like a hero from the Martial World, hence the address. Young Hero? Sun Wukong chuckled, finding the title rather interesting. He nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, this wicked servant ran amok in the streets, disregarding the lives of the people and even bumping into me. I was only going to teach him a small lesson, but then he brought up this Grand Sorcerer. Naturally, I had to come and see for myself.” “The Grand Sorcerer here knows Demon Art,” the Prefectural Governor said with a smile. For some reason, he felt a sense of closeness with the man before him. Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Demon Art? I know Immortal Technique. I wonder if it can overcome his Demon Art?” The Prefectural Governor was slightly surprised and excitedly said, “Could it be that Young Hero is an Immortal who cultivates and practices the Way?” “Why don’t you think I might be an Immortal who has already achieved immortality?” Sun Wukong countered. The Prefectural Governor was partially amused, partially embarrassed, and he glanced at Lady Dragon of Wealth and Nu Ba. His meaning was clear. If a man had already become an Immortal, why would he be accompanied by two ladies? Sun Wukong knew what he was suggesting and simply smiled. Then, he took the lead and walked inside. “Young Hero, perhaps wait for a moment. Let me, as the official appointed by the court, take the lead. I am not accustomed to letting others take the risk for me,” the Prefectural Governor said.
