Chapter 45: The Arrival of the Demon-Subduing Department (Seeking Continuous Reading, Seeking Continuous Reading on Tuesday)

  Li Xinhans expression slowly subsided.

  Having been here for just a few days, he had already seen that Baiyun County was as foul as a latrine.

  The officials colluded with evil spirits to disturb the people, and they cannot withstand a thorough investigation.

  So I have more stereotypical impressions of the local officials here.

  "Be quiet for a moment, first take him down, bring him back and interrogate him carefully, must find out the whereabouts of Mr. Lin."

  "I understand."

  More than ten people quickly dispersed and quietly blocked all escape routes on the entire long street.

  Old Liu, who was most skilled in hidden weapons, threw away the sugar cane pole and quietly approached that thatched cottage.

  The beggar followed closely behind, with hands full of calluses hidden in his tattered sleeves, his grappling skills were well-honed.

  The two were old friends who had been cooperating for many years. They first used poisonous arrows to secretly attack, then took action to bind and lock up. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to withstand a single encounter.

  Suddenly, the beggar found that Old Liu had stopped in his tracks.

  "Whats wrong?"

  He frowned and looked over, his eyes flashing with surprise.

  The door was wide open.

  A handsome young man stood calmly at the door, with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, gazing silently outward, clearly having been prepared for some time.

  "Could this little disturbance escape his notice?"

  The beggar was slightly surprised, but still didnt take it to heart. After all these years, what kind of expert hadnt they seen?

  Moreover, Li Xinhans standing far away was a real and solid Jade Liquid Boundary strongman.

  The beggar did not expect that Old Liu would slowly put away the blowpipe and smile at the young man, saying: "Young master, we meet again."

  That morning on the street, we met face-to-face. The other party obviously sensed that something was off, but didnt expose me either.

  It only takes one glance to notice that the street vendor selling sugar has changed, and with such a keen sense of smell, it would be somewhat ridiculous to pretend to be demure and launch a sneak attack.

  "What brings you two here?"

  Shen Yi nodded slightly and her eyes swept over the two of them.

  He didnt remember having any dealings with people from the jianghu before, and not revealing his identity that day was because he didnt want to bother with them, not because he was afraid of them in his heart.

  "There is something important Id like to ask about, so please, Master Shen, follow me."

  Lao Liu retreated half a step, and the beggar grasped his intention. His body suddenly darted out, his palms like clouds and dragons, his fingers like golden hooks, extremely overbearing as he locked onto his opponents shoulders!

  In an instant, he clapped his palms onto the opponents shoulders, ten fingers fiercely embedded, both arms bursting with force, wanting to throw him to the ground.

  "Hah!"

  The beggar let out a loud belch, and his face suddenly turned rosy.

  The other party stood firmly, with both feet seemingly stuck to the ground. His own arms, which had unleashed a powerful force, were like a clay ox entering the sea, and yet there was not even half a reaction.

  The next moment, Shen Yi suddenly kicked him in the abdomen.

  The beggar let out a sharp whistle and flew backwards, reacting extremely quickly to roll over several times in mid-air, still unable to shake off the massive force, before crashing into a pillar across the street with a loud thud.

  Only a loud crash was heard, and the entire restaurant shook violently twice.

  He leaned against the pillar with a disordered breath, his forehead bursting with blue veins, and he couldnt get up again for half a day.

  Seeing this, not only Old Liu, but also the rest of the people on the street became serious.

  As for close combat skills, apart from Li Xinhuan, Qigai is the strongest among them. How could he not even last one round?

  “……”

  Lao Liu smiled awkwardly and unconsciously took a few steps back.

  Reached into his waist to dig out the nameplate.

  This thing is getting out of hand, the Town Demon Division came to this small county on the outskirts to catch someone, and they even had to show their ID, its simply embarrassing.

  Just then, a hand stayed his action.

  Lao Liu turned his head to look, and saw that Li Xinhans had appeared beside him at some point, with furrowed eyebrows and a slightly twitching nose tip, clearly having caught wind of something unusual.

  "Did you just see blood?"

  Li Xinhans took a deep breath and looked at Shen Yi again, with a chill in his eyes.

  Upon hearing this, the solemn expressions on everyone elses face turned tense.

  They rushed to Baiyun County in a hurry, but they didnt come for inspection. Now all the clues about Lins whereabouts point to the young man in front of them.

  But on the main street of the county town, he smelled blood on the other person... What could make Li Xinhanso cautious was certainly not chicken or pig blood.

  At one time, everyone gathered around.

  “……”

  Shen Yi looked at the crowd that had suddenly gathered in front of him, his eyes falling on Li Xinhans conspicuous black shirt.

  I thought it was a mouse pushing the door, but unexpectedly it was an old cat coming to visit.

  These peoples movements were a bit too quick.

  Even if its predecessor managed to withstand Liu Laos blow, it would have been finished by now.

  Do no evil and you will not fear the knock at your door.

  Shen Yi slightly let out a sigh of relief as he put down his palm and calmly replied: "Reporting to Your Excellency, it is the blood of a demon."

  He loosened his grip on the knife handle, and the others inexplicably let out a sigh of relief, then looked at each other in dismay.

  For the counties and towns under Qingzhou, the demon-hunting officers may not say a word on the surface, but in reality, they all have a proud air hidden in their hearts.

  Today, facing an ordinary clerk, I unexpectedly felt a bit of fear and apprehension, as if I was facing a formidable enemy, its laughable to even mention it.

  "Why is there a demon in your house?"

  Li Xinhans voice was firm and his eyes were sharp, with a hint of interrogation.

  Shen Yi wasnt quite used to this way of speaking, but he could also understand that for a group of people who fought against demons and monsters every day, putting their brains in their waistbands would make them seem friendly and approachable, which was somewhat difficult for others.

  He slightly shifted his body, making way for her.

  Li Xinhans furrowed his brow again, just as he was about to shout in anger, but was nudged by Old Liu with his shoulder.

  "Shut up."

  He raised his eyes and soon became like everyone else, as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at the spot.

  Only saw the cramped room inside.

  Lin Baiwei was carrying a wooden basin for washing vegetables from the backyard, blinked her eyes and curiously looked towards the door.

  The loose and ill-fitting long shirt on her body obviously belonged to a man.

  Its dazzling.

  She smiled in surprise: "How did you get here?"

  Li Xinhans mouth opened wide, wanting to ask but dared not, could only clench his fists and bow his hands: "Your subordinate Li Xinhans pays respects to Lord Lin!"

  The others were also like this, Old Liu smacked his lips and first gave Shen Yi an incredulous glance before explaining: "Its been a month since Qingzhou received your letter, so the family sent us over to investigate."

  "Its all right, Im fine." Lin Baiwei shook her head slightly with a hint of guilt.

  "Well send you back to Qingzhou immediately." Li Xinhans noticed that her breath was not right.

  "I want to go home and take a look first... Also, can you wait for me to finish dinner... The mutton soup thats just been simmered." Lin Baiweis lips were slightly pursed in embarrassment.

  "Its all up to you."

  Seeing this, the people of the Town Demon Division couldnt help but burst out laughing.

  This renowned demon catcher is indeed as rumored, having no airs about him and treating others with kindness.

  But soon, the smile on their faces disappeared under Lin Baiweis busy coming and going, and the young man standing silently with his head down.

  “……”

  Until the steaming hot meat soup is served.

  Shen Yi never thought that eating a meal could be so difficult.

  A dozen or so people stood at the door, their cold eyes staring straight over, like a group of harbingers of death.

  "Sorry."

  Lin Baiwei also sensed that something was off. The two of them exchanged a glance, and the tender lamb meat they were chewing on suddenly tasted like wax.

  She sighed and put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Take care of yourself."

  "You too."

  Shen Yi clasped his fists and watched as the other party walked into the crowd, more than a dozen people disappearing at the end of the night.

  He withdrew his gaze and looked towards the empty room.

  She fell silent for a moment, then shook her head and lost her smile.

  Its been a long time since I crossed over, and Ive already developed a body of foul diseases.

  Used to it.

  She swept all the food off the table, Shen Yi put away the bowls and chopsticks, and then washed and hung up her outer garment.

  He lay on the bed and slowly opened the panel.
