Shen Yi picked up the ritual knife with a dark glow.

  Compared with the previous sword, its blade is relatively narrower and straighter, the blade is as thin as a cicadas wing, but it is several times heavier than the previous one.

  Obviously not an ordinary thing.

  Even such a precious sword cannot cut through its own skin.

  The effect of Jinyangs Eight Treasures has exceeded Shen Yis expectations.

  According to Zhang Tuhou, this is just what he came up with by referencing the Golden Gates initial stage martial arts. If it were the complete Jade Liquid Realm martial arts from that sect, wouldnt it be even more powerful?

  Shen Yi shook his head and used the blade to pick out the beast yuan of Yuan Tongtian.

  He walked back to the young ape demons side and did the same thing again. Finally, he picked up the scabbard and sheathed the black blade.

  Unfortunately, this precious sword doesnt even have a name.

  Shen Yi pondered for a moment, as the blade was dark and the scabbard was like ink.

  Lets just call him Erhei then.

  He raised his eyes and called out the panel.

  Killed Initial Realm Perfect Ape Demon, total lifespan 774 years, remaining 197 years, absorption complete.

  Killed Early-stage Nascent Soul Ape Demon, total lifespan 631 years, remaining 270 years, absorption complete.

  Remaining demonic lifespan: six hundred and fifty-one years

  “……”

  First, the ape demon presented a precious sword, and then obtained such a rich reward of longevity.

  This should be a pleasant mood.

  Shen Yi looked at the neatly arranged skulls on the table and inexplicably lost a few points of interest.

  He turned and walked towards the crowd.

  Chen Ji quietly got up and followed behind him, while the Niu brothers and Zhang Datou hastily scrambled to their feet as well, but couldnt help feeling a chill run down their spines.

  Mr. Shen was not a good person before either.

  But compared to what happened earlier, this is absolutely a gentle and soft-hearted move.

  The living creature was beaten into a pulp by the demon, and for these ordinary bailiffs, the visual impact was a bit too great, and they might not recover for several days or even half a month.

  "What are you staring at? Get out of here!"

  As soon as Shen Yi walked away, Zhang Tuhou kicked the soldiers and yamen runners who were lying on the ground.

  A sigh of relief.

  Compared to Liu Dians crime deserving of ten thousand deaths, these people are just the blades in the hands of the yamen, carrying out orders.

  After Dian Li was beheaded, he also didnt dare to take action.

  He was really afraid that Shen Yi would go on a killing spree and indiscriminately slaughtered these ordinary people.

  Jin Gang Men and Fo Men have some connections, Zhang Tuhou doesnt believe in any nonsense about karma or retribution, but the excessive slaughter has inevitably affected his mind, even leading to demonic possession through martial arts practice.

  Its really unnecessary.

  As long as the yamens problems are solved, this group of soldiers will naturally have someone to take charge of them. After a bit of tidying up, they can also become the mainstay of defending the county town.

  To say something unpleasant, if they were all killed, wouldnt it be relying on just a few martial artists working day and night to defend the city?

  "Spare my life, Master Shen!"

  The young and strong men who had been kneeling on the ground finally relaxed their tense nerves, and repeatedly kowtowed in the direction where the youth had walked away.

  Zhang Tutou thought of the pockmarked head that had escaped earlier, and looked at the corpse in green clothes that had been cut into a mess by the knife energy: "He..."

  "The official was harmed by the evil spirits, we know."

  These young and strong men are all clever guys, they dont have the guts to take action against evil spirits, but they still have a discerning eye for sizing up the situation.

  Baiyun County is finished!

  Grandfather Shen has been continuously slaying demons, and this matter absolutely cannot be hidden.

  The yamen has reported for three consecutive years that everything is peaceful and harmonious within the city, the people are safe and content, there are no external threats or internal unrest.

  Once this matter is exposed, the county magistrate will not have enough heads to chop off even if he had ten.

  Its obvious that even if the demon affair happened in just a few days, the county magistrate still sensed something was off, which is why he arranged for that expert to come along.

  Remembering the skinny monk desperately fleeing...

  Everyone now understands who is the lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

  "Hmm!"

  Zhang Tutou waved his sleeve robe and chased after Shen Yi with some regret.

  The other party easily beheaded two demon heads, without even a scratch on their body, while he couldnt even take down a thin-headed Taoist.

  Todays sparring...

  This is no longer just letting water go, this is letting the sea go!

  The other side kept calling him "senior" with one mouthful after another, its simply shameless!

  ……

  Late at night, the county governors residence.

  In the hall, the old man was wearing only a white undergarment, leaning against the back of a red wooden chair, wearing a pair of crotch pants and soaking his feet in a wooden basin.

  He closed his eyes, his fingers tapping rapidly on the armrest.

  Even if the water in the basin has cooled down a bit, he hasnt noticed it, apparently his mind is not on his feet.

  The night watchmans rattle has struck three times already.

  Logically speaking, things should have been done long ago.

  Song Changfeng and this Liu fellow have quite the discerning eye, each selecting one to cultivate, and in the end, theyve managed to nurture a pair of troublemakers.

  Previously, there was a small difference in what was said, and with that little servant present, the masters were very satisfied, without a single complaint.

  They all lie in the coffin room, whats there to complain about.

  If you are truly a martial arts master, then just wipe out all the demons around you and take the silver and beauties that should be offered to you.

  Nothing good ever happens, nothing but trouble, damn it!

  "When did you come back?"

  The county magistrate opened his eyes and looked at the figure who had burst into the room in a sorry state.

  "Hurry! Silver! Load all my silver onto the carriage, Im going back to Qingzhou, leaving immediately!"

  The thin monk panted heavily and took a few steps forward, under the county magistrates astonished gaze, he reached out and grabbed his collar.

  "You... whats the meaning of this? Master sent you to protect me, and now that only a few months have passed, youre leaving?"

  "Protect your ancestral grandmother! What kind of stupid and evil demon is this Liu fellow colluding with? Hes provoked that star of calamity, if he doesnt leave now, Im afraid hell come breaking down the door to behead me!"

  Gaunt and hollow-eyed, with bloodshot eyes, he came to Baiyun County just wanting to earn some silver to spend, but never thought of losing his life here.

  How did this remote and out-of-the-way place manage to produce a martial arts master of such high caliber?

  "You first let go of this county... whats the hurry... hes just a minor official, a court-appointed officer! Not one of you Jianghu martial artists!"

  The county magistrate got more and more anxious as he spoke, stretching out his hand to pry open the others fingers.

  Unexpectedly, it actually moved.

  The county magistrate was stunned, staring blankly as the other person stopped breathing, with only a thin cow hair needle protruding from his throat.

  The next moment, the thin young man carrying a sugar cane pole smiled and put away his blowpipe, walking into the house from the night.

  Behind him, there were people dressed as carters, rich merchants, and even beggars...

  A dozen or so people entered the house one after another, and then found their seats on their own. The only thing they had in common was that they all wore expressions that didnt match their attire.

  That is a lofty indifference.

  And this apathetic object was none other than County Magistrate Zhang, who had just pushed open the door with a trembling hand.

  "Who... who are you, how dare you trespass on the county magistrates residence."

  Everyone fell silent and cast their eyes towards the outside of the door.

  As footsteps sounded, a figure in a long gown stepped across the threshold.

  The newcomer was tall and majestic, wearing a long black satin robe with a white jade belt around his waist, and on his shoulder was embroidered a ferocious wolf that seemed to be choosing its prey.

  The cuffs also embroidered with cloud patterns, a total of three.

  The man walked into the hall, casually strolling around in a circle, his voice slightly cold: "Colluding with demons, check his identity."

  "Really?"

  Upon hearing this, the beggar dressed as that person walked over, his dirty fingers quickly moving over the thin monks body. A moment later, he lifted his head and smiled: "The path of tempered body, practicing finger techniques... Divine Eagle Claw, a disciple of the Golden Strength Sect. Alright, Old Liu, this tempered martial artists neck cant even withstand your hidden weapons."

  The young man carrying the sugar cane pole chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "If its any harder, it wont be good."

  The man sat down in the main seat, slightly nodding his chin: "Send a letter to the Golden Gate, let them go to the Demon-Taming Department to receive their punishment."

  From the moment he saw the mans clothes, the county magistrates face turned as white as a sheet, hardly better than that of a dead person.

  This is the attire of a Zhēn Mó Sī Xiào Wèi, and the three cloud patterns represent that the other party is also a senior among the Xiào Wèi.

  "Whats your surname?" He asked with a surge of courage, but what he really wanted to ask was why the other party had arrived in Baiyun County ahead of schedule.

  "County Master is being polite, no need to be courteous, Li Xinhuan." The man glanced sideways, a few more smiles on his face: "Trouble you to tie yourself up, we still have business to discuss."
