I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

It was not until noon the next day that Shen Cong was found dead at home.

When the news reached back to Ba Yue Martial Arts School, it did not cause much sensation.

Although Yue Lu pretended to be extremely angry and vowed to bring the murderer to justice, he actually did not take many substantive actions.

After all, Shen Cong was just one of his many disciples, and was merely a warrior at the body-building stage.

For him, such a loss was not enough to really move him.

What really made him angry was that someone dared to disregard him and openly kill disciples of the martial arts school. This was undoubtedly a provocation to his authority.

However, as time went on, Yuelu's anger gradually subsided.

This matter was like a stone sinking into the sea and was gradually forgotten.

Ba Yue Martial Arts School returned to its former tranquility, as if Shen Cong's death was just an insignificant episode.

...

Outside Yong'an City.

In a pavilion beside the official road, Shen Zhi and Yu Cheng sat face to face.

"How are you thinking about it?"

Yu Cheng asked, looking into his eyes.

Shen Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Since the senior has strongly recommended me, I will certainly not be ungrateful."

Yu Cheng couldn't help but smile.

But the next moment, Shen Zhi suddenly changed the subject, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"But before that, I have to do a few things."

Yu Cheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

He saw a strong murderous intent in Shen Zhi's eyes.

"Kill who?"

Shen Zhi remained calm and said a series of names.

The owners of these names, without exception, are all powerful people in Yong'an City.

And they all have one thing in common.

They were all the people who had humiliated him in Yue Mansion that day.

Even after so much time has passed, Shen Zhi still remembers their faces and what they said at that time.

Those vicious words and contemptuous looks were like sharp swords, piercing deep into Shen Zhi's heart, and he could not let go.

Now he was only one step away from breaking through the innate realm.

At that time, with the support of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Shen Zhiding would have to use the blood of those powerful people to wash away the insults he had suffered.

Yu Cheng didn't react much to this and seemed very calm.

To him, those powerful people in Yong'an City were just a group of insignificant people.

Their life or death does not have much impact on me.

Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing smile on his lips and said.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that almost all the powerful people in Yong'an City have made enemies with you. With so many people dead, I wonder how much disturbance it will cause in this small city."

Shen Zhi smiled faintly when he heard this.

"With the reputation of the Demon Suppression Bureau, it should be no problem for them to handle such a small matter."

He knew that although Yu Cheng said this seriously.

But for the monster catcher, the death of these people was not a big deal.

Even if the other party reported it to Luyang Prefecture, Yu Cheng had a way to make them shut up.

He stood up, patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, in that case, when I finish dealing with things here, you can go back with me."

When Shen Zhi heard this, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

He knew that his destiny was about to take a new turn.

...

...

Liu Mansion.

Liu Daoyuan was immersed in a luxurious atmosphere.

He was playing an unspeakable game with a group of beautiful women who were half-dressed.

"Sir, I am here, come and find me~"

A beautiful girl spoke in a coquettish and gentle voice, her seductive intentions fully revealed.

"Haha, little goblin, where is your weakness? How could this young master not know it?"

Liu Daoyuan smiled frivolously, then took the beautiful girl into his arms, and his hands wandered freely on her exquisite and curvy body.

"My little beauties, tonight I will let you experience my majestic and powerful figure!"

Liu Daoyuan let out a dissolute laugh, and his big hands roamed freely over those soft and boneless bodies.

Because he had offended Ji Jingchun, the powerful Minister of the Central Secretariat, he was ordered by the Liu family's master Liu Chuanyan to be under house arrest and was not allowed to step out of the Liu Mansion for a year.

In desperation, he could only indulge in wine and women day after day to kill time.

If Ji Jingchun insisted on pursuing responsibility, Liu Chuanyan would certainly not tolerate it and would definitely hand over Liu Daoyuan without hesitation to calm Ji Jingchun's anger.

After all, the other party's identity is not someone a small Liu family can afford to offend.

In this atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery, a light and rhythmic knock on the door sounded quietly, interrupting the decadent music in the house.

"Son."

Following this call, Liu Daoyuan shifted his gaze away from the beautiful girls surrounding him and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Daoyuan straightened his clothes, picked up a pot of fine wine and poured it into his mouth.

"We have been observing that kid for a long time. I guess he probably doesn't understand the meaning of the jade Ji Jingchun gave him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Daoyuan smashed the wine jug to pieces.

When he thought about what happened on the flower boat that day, he became furious.

Not only did he lose face, but he couldn't even hold his head up in front of the young masters in Yong'an City.

Liu Chuanchuan even confined him to his house for a year and did not allow him to go in or out at will.

And all this is thanks to Yan Xiu.

How can I vent the hatred in my heart if I don't torture him severely?

But at the same time, Liu Daoyuan was afraid of the jade given by Ji Jingchun in Yan Xiu's hand.

Everyone who saw Ji Jingchun off at that time knew what the jade represented, but it seemed that only Yan Xiu did not understand the reason.

After Ji Jingchun left for such a long time, he did not set out for Luyang Prefecture to seek refuge, but remained in Yong'an City.

At first, Liu Daoyuan speculated that Yan Xiu might be afraid, so he did not dare to leave rashly.

But as the men who were monitoring Yan Xiu kept sending him news, he became more and more certain that Yan Xiu really did not understand the deeper meaning behind the jade pendant.

"In that case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Liu Daoyuan snorted coldly, with a look of determination in his eyes.

"How is the staffing arrangement going?"

The servant smiled confidently upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, sir. I promise it will be perfect."

...

In the night market.

A makeshift shadow play troupe was performing with all their might.

Under the dim light, the shadow puppets jumped, ran, and fought on the screen as if they had life.

The audiences in the audience watched the performance intently and burst into cheers from time to time.

After the show ended, copper coins fell from the sky and were thrown onto the stage.

After the show, the elderly troupe owner sat under the dim light, counting the heavy copper coins in his hands one by one, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Just as he was immersed in it, a low voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Old boss, it's time to take action."

Hearing this voice, the smile on the old boss's face froze instantly, replaced by a cold and deep expression.

But his hands did not stop moving, and he continued to count the coins skillfully.

"After this is done, your Liu family must not break their promise to me."

"Of course, please rest assured, old boss."

A response came from the darkness.

Upon hearing this, the old boss slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of wrinkles and traces of time.

After taking a look at the night sky, he turned around, took out a few items from the wooden box, and then quietly blended into the darkness.
