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

After doing all this, Shen Zhi sat down on the bluestone tiredly.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, and his whole body exuded an air of loneliness and indifference.

When the dignitaries around him saw him like this, they all fell silent and no one dared to approach him easily.

He was afraid that he would accidentally anger the other party and suffer the terrible consequences of being beheaded.

Shen Zhi lowered his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the river surface that was sparkling under the bright moonlight.

Looking back, before he met Yan Xiu, he was just a child from Anxi Village who toiled all day long for food and clothing. He lived in poverty and hardship, and his life was very tight.

Later, with the help of Yan Xiu, the three of them got jobs in a clinic, and their lives began to improve a little.

Ever since Xie Shucheng nearly lost his life at the hands of a gang, he began to think about learning martial arts to save himself.

He then decided to join Ba Yue Martial Arts School and train hard, but was deceived by his cousin again.

Then he was humiliated at the birthday banquet at Yue Mansion and cruelly abandoned in a desolate mass grave. He was on the verge of life and death, but fortunately he was rescued by Yan Xiu.

Afterwards, he was taught the mysterious skills by Yan Xiu, which enabled him to achieve his current extraordinary martial arts realm.

Looking back on the journey he had taken, Shen Zhi felt dazed, as if all the past events were as unreal as a dream.

The changes that happened were like a life-changing drama that still makes him feel unbelievable.

Before the climax of revenge tonight came to an end, the driving force that filled Shen Zhi's heart was the word revenge.

Now, those powerful people who were used to ordering people around in Yong'an City were crawling at his feet, trembling.

The flame of revenge that had once driven him so strongly seemed to be extinguished in an instant.

He was immersed in the emptiness and loneliness after the revenge. For a moment, everything in the world seemed to have lost its original color and appeal.

In a trance, Shen Zhi's eyes gradually focused and returned to reality.

"Now that I have killed my enemy and settled old scores, it is time to go meet her."

Shen Zhi muttered to himself and slowly stood up from the cold bluestone.

When he came to his senses, a faint fish belly white color had appeared in the eastern sky.

A new day has arrived quietly without us noticing.

Looking around, that group of dignitaries didn't dare to move at all without Shen Zhi's order.

At this moment, they were all shivering from the cold, their faces turning pale.

Shen Zhi gently shook off the crystal dew on his body, letting it reflect a faint light in the morning light.

Then he walked away with steady steps, leaving behind the dignitaries in silence and fear.

...

...

In the morning light of Yong'an City, people got up early as usual and started a busy new day.

Their faces were filled with calmness and tranquility, as if they were unaware of the thrilling massacre that took place in the city last night.

It was not until someone passed by the east side of the city that they finally realized something was wrong.

The luxurious residential area that originally had carved beams and painted buildings and deep courtyards has now been destroyed beyond recognition.

The outer wall collapsed and shattered, with bricks and tiles scattered all over the ground.

The courtyard gate inlaid with exquisite jade was violently twisted and deformed and collapsed into ruins.

The eaves decorated with gold and silver pale in the morning sun, as if they had lost their former glory and only shattered ruins remained.

The once lush and green garden is now only covered with dead branches and leaves and is in ruins.

Traces of the rampage of monsters can be vaguely seen from the broken walls, as if telling of the bloody battle that took place last night.

There was an indescribable dullness and depression in the air, as if even the sunlight was swallowed up by the ruins and could not bring the slightest warmth.

...

In the South City Inn.

Shortly after the Blood Wing Wolves invaded the east of the city, Tang Ling and Ajiu evacuated from Yue Mansion and quietly moved into an inn in the south of the city.

With Ajiu's profound cultivation background, he could easily kill the two ferocious blood-winged wolves in an instant.

But since the young lady had made up her mind to make the powerful and wealthy in Yong'an City suffer, Jiu did not interfere.

He knew very well that the young lady's move was actually an opportunity to indirectly avenge Shen, which had a deep meaning.

When he thought of this, Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's been so long, but the lady is still obsessed with him. What's so attractive about him?"

He muttered to himself and shook his head.

Fortunately, they will be able to return to the capital soon.

Once returning to the capital, Tang Ling will come into contact with more young talents.

These people are not only outstanding in appearance and well-educated, but their attainments in spiritual practice are far superior to Shen Zhi.

What’s more important is that they all have deep and immeasurable family power behind them.

Ajiu believes that only such a person can be truly worthy of his noble lady, rather than an ordinary person of humble origin like Shen Zhi.

...

Within the county government.

A group of dignitaries from Yong'an City who had just hurriedly returned from the Baishui River gathered here, making the county government office so crowded that no one could get through.

The county magistrate was standing by trembling with fear, responding to the anger and accusations of these powerful people with anxiety in his heart.

One of the trembling ladies lost control of her emotions and pointed at the county magistrate's nose and shouted at him.

"How did you become the county magistrate? You didn't even know that a big monster had entered the city? What's the point of us sending you so much money every year?"

Her words were full of anger, and she did not take the court official seriously at all, showing a condescending attitude.

Faced with the noble lady's angry scolding, although the county magistrate felt aggrieved, he could only endure it silently and did not dare to refute at all.

Because he knew that in Yong'an City, although he was wearing the black hat of a county magistrate.

But in fact, the real masters are the powerful and wealthy lords with deep roots in these cities.

Just as the county magistrate was being blamed and attacked by many powerful officials, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw an extremely huge Lingyun Boat breaking through the clouds, like a stream of light passing through the sky, slowly descending above Yong'an City.

When the crowd below saw Ling Yunzhou, they were all overjoyed.

The monster-catching captains jumped off the Lingyun Boat one after another, their figures floating like eagles soaring into the sky, and landed in the county government office one after another.

However, all of these monster-catching captains had injuries on their bodies, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

On the contrary, Tang Xun, the director, had a radiant look on his face, which formed a sharp contrast with the exhausted monster-hunting captains around him.

Tang Xun walked into the county government office.

Wherever he looked, he saw that all the dignitaries in Yong'an City looked ashen and as if they had lost their lives.

Tang Xun couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like your parents have died?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of sad sobbing suddenly sounded among the crowd, and the sad emotions quickly spread like ripples.

"Master Demon Suppression Division, you have to make the decision for us!"
