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

After Prince Jin finished speaking, he stared at Yan Xiu with burning eyes, trying to see something.

If my guess is correct, then the master behind Shen Zhi must be this ordinary-looking young doctor in front of me.

If this is true, then Prince Jin must change his opinion of Shen Zhi.

Facing Prince Jin's questions and that aggressive gaze, Yan Xiu's expression remained calm.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

After listening to this, Prince Jin was silent for a while, then smiled.

"In this case, I will not disturb you any further."

After saying that, he took his people away.

Outside the hospital.

The black-armored guard was suspicious of Yan Xiu's previous words, so he lowered his voice and asked.

"Your Highness, I am a stupid subordinate. I didn't understand a thing or two of what that person said just now."

Prince Jin's face was as calm as water, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and his tone was calm: "It should be correct."

Judging from Yan Xiu's tone and words, even if he was not the mastermind behind saving Shen Zhi from danger, he must have some close connection with him.

If this is the case, Prince Jin will have to re-examine the relationship between Ling'er and Shen Zhi.

Prince Jin understood that even if the person behind Shen Zhi was Yan Xiu, the other party would certainly not protect him forever.

After all, in this world, the most important thing to rely on is first your own level of cultivation, and then the support behind you.

He shook his head and put these chaotic thoughts behind him.

The top priority at this moment is to return to the capital as soon as possible, seek a way to restore the broken arm, and rebuild the intact body of the past.

After just one or two hours, a few dark shadows suddenly appeared in the depths of the clouds, appearing like a dream.

Huang Lao and his companions drove the Lingyun Boat out of the clouds and slowly landed over Yong'an City like visitors from outer space.

When everyone's eyes fell on Prince Jin's empty sleeves, they were all shocked, bowed their heads in fear, and apologized for being late in coming to rescue him.

When they learned that the culprit who cut off Prince Jin's arm was a demon saint, everyone's face was covered with a look of disbelief and horror.

After all, they are always monitoring the whereabouts of the Demon Saint.

How could they not be shocked that a demon saint had appeared in this small Yong'an City?

When Prince Jin said that the Demon Saint had been killed by a doctor, everyone was shocked again.

Mr. Huang's face changed drastically and he blurted out

"Your Highness, is this true?!"

He was particularly shocked because he had personally fought against a Demon Saint together with the Grand Governor-General and knew well how powerful the Demon Saint was.

Although Prince Jin nodded, Mr. Huang still found it incredible.

You should know that the strength of the Demon Saint is enough to rival the top warriors in the Cave Realm.

But now Prince Jin claimed that a doctor from Yong'an City killed the Demon Saint with just one word. How could he not be shocked by such an incredible thing?

"Where is the doctor now? I'll go visit him right away!"

Mr. Huang stood up immediately, looking impatient.

The same was true for the rest of the people, they all wanted to meet this master as soon as possible.

But Prince Jin shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"No need, I think that person should have left Yong'an City by now."

Everyone froze when they heard this.

...

...

Outside Yong'an City.

Yan Xiu rode a green ox, with his luggage casually hung on the ox's horns, and walked unsteadily on the official road.

"Why are you still following me?"

He opened the wine gourd, took a sip of wine and said.

Shen Zhi followed closely behind, walking step by step.

"Brother Yan, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiu lay on the back of the blue ox and said without turning his head: "The set of skills I taught you is completely enough for you to cultivate to a very high level."

"Besides, it's useless for you to stay by my side all the time. It's better to do whatever you want. Maybe you can make some progress."

Shen Zhi remained silent after hearing this.

Now, the demon kings who wanted to stir up turmoil in Guizhou have been killed one after another.

Even the arrogant Demon Saint died because of Yan Xiu's words and actions.

From now on, not only will the people of Yong'an City be able to get rid of their fear, but the entire Guizhou will also return to peace, and the evil spirits will no longer have the power to cause trouble.

Just as Shen Zhi fell into deep thought, Yan Xiu smiled calmly with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Besides, there is a beautiful lady in the capital who is waiting for you. Why are you lingering here?"

When he said this, Shen Zhi's ears suddenly turned red.

It seems that Brother Yan is indeed an expert. He actually knows everything about the conversation between me and Tang Ling.

Thinking of that gentle and beautiful figure, Shen Zhi's heart surged and his fighting spirit was suddenly high.

As he paused, Qingniu also slowly stopped.

"Brother Yan, I wonder when we can meet again?"

"Why are you asking this? We'll meet again if we're destined to."

Yan Xiu waved his hand and walked away.

Shen Zhi knelt down respectfully and kowtowed deeply to Yan Xiu, his gratitude overflowing with words.

"Shen Zhi will always remember the kindness of Brother Yan in saving my life. If Brother Yan needs me in the future, Shen Zhi will do my best to serve him even if it means death!"

When Shen Zhi raised his head, he saw that the green ox was carrying Yan Xiu farther and farther away, leaving only a hazy figure at the edge of his sight.

He stood there until Yan Xiu's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road in the distance, then he turned around reluctantly and returned to his own residence in Yong'an City.

Now that everything is settled and his parents are safe and sound, Shen Zhi's worries have been alleviated a lot.

He packed his luggage and left Yong'an City a few days later.

...

...

A month later.

In a continuous mountain range.

A thin figure was running frantically in the dense forest, looking very miserable.

The thousand-year-old fox demon Empress Hu is now covered in wounds and her former glory is gone.

When Prince Jin was fighting with the two demon lords, she managed to escape the disaster by using a secret method and remained unharmed.

After seeing the strength of Prince Jin, she began to think about escaping.

But with the appearance of the Demon Saint, Empress Hu couldn't help but become restless again.

However, when she witnessed with her own eyes the shocking scene of Yan Xiu easily killing the demon saint with just one word, Empress Hu was extremely frightened and her soul flew away.

She herself was not spared.

Just the residual power of Yan Xiu's words caused eight of the nine fox tails that she had condensed after thousands of years of hard practice to break in an instant, which was a heavy loss.

Now he has been hunted by the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau for a month straight. He is already at the end of his rope and is everywhere is an enemy.

Seeing that there was a dead end ahead, Empress Hu's heart sank suddenly, and the sense of death spread throughout her body like a tide.

She stopped running.

Not long after, dozens of monster-catching captains, led by Jiang Jisheng, came in pursuit.

"Madam Hu, you didn't expect that you would end up like this."

Jiang Jisheng was dressed in an elegant manner, and he didn't look like a general who ruled over an entire state and was fearless in suppressing evil spirits.

Upon hearing this, Empress Hu turned around.

Despite facing life and death, she still smiled like a flower.

"General Jiang, you and I are old acquaintances, how about catching up?"

As she spoke, she acted pitiful, trying to arouse the other person's sympathy.

However, Jiang Jisheng was not moved by this. Instead, he sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that Madam Hu is not willing to accept my toast and will have to drink the wine for punishment."

After saying this, he suddenly raised his right hand, and the demon-catching captains behind him immediately readied themselves for the attack, full of murderous intent.

"This general will only give you one last chance. Tell me who is behind this plot, or your thousand-year-old cultivation will be wasted!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Hu's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and a hint of struggle appeared on her face.

After a struggle between her conscience and her desires, she slowly spoke.

"I said, General Jiang, can you please be lenient with me for the sake of our past friendship?"

Jiang Jisheng smiled faintly when he heard this, and a hint of bloodthirstiness flashed across his eyes in an instant.

"That's natural."
