Infinite Gate: I Became a Martial Saint from Another World

Without thinking any more, Zhou Hong told Ren Yaji and the others what happened in Qingwan Village.

"Huang Kefei? This name seems familiar."

"As you said, the evil beast most likely followed you back to the village?"

"Yes, I only understood it after the monster showed up."

Regarding the abandoned village, Zhou Hong concealed the Gate of Infinity and instead added some non-existent things and told the story.

After listening to Zhou Hong's words, Ren Yaji pondered for a moment, then he said to Shi Lao: "I will write a letter to Liu Chongye, the mayor of Yeyafu City, and ask him to check the village. His father was the one who handled the Tengzhua Army incident decades ago. It should be okay to leave this matter to him."

"besides..."

Then Ren Yaji looked at Shi Lao and said, "Shi Lao, ask Captain He Qian to take people to Qingwan Village to confirm the scene!"

"Okay, City Lord."

Then, Mr. Shi walked out.

"As for you..."

Ren Yaji looked at Zhou Hong, seemingly thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Then, he said, "Your name is Zhou Hong, right? Don't worry, I will arrange a room for you to stay in. If what you said is true, then there will be nothing to worry about. But if it is false, even the laws of Longfu City are not for show!"

"Zhou Hong understands."

In this way, under Ren Yaji's arrangement, Zhou Hong rested in a room in the City Lord's Mansion.

Of course, there are soldiers outside who are there to protect but are actually there to monitor.

Among them, there were even two centurions at the third level of the physical realm watching.

"It takes such a big fuss to deal with me!"

Zhou Hong was also quite surprised when looking at the scene in front of him.

That afternoon, the team that went to check finally returned.

After receiving confirmation from the captain, Shi Lao quickly notified Ren Yaji.

"It looks like we're in big trouble!"

Ren Yaji looked solemn. Based on the report from the captain at the scene in Qingwan Village, it was certain that it was the evil beast that did it.

"City Lord, does our city need to take action?"

Listening to what Mr. Shi said, Ren Yaji sighed and said, "According to He Ze, based on his on-site investigation, the evil beast left early after slaughtering all the people in the village, leaving only some debris and blood."

"Even if we send out people now, we will be too late to catch up."

"Devil beasts have always been cunning. This demon beast is estimated to be at least at the upper internal force level. The next time it appears, it may be at the internal organs level."

"In the Viscera Realm, we only have two people in Longfu City."

"Alas, if it was still in the past, we could still go to the aforementioned capital and ask them to send people to deal with it, but now with the chaotic situation, the capital can only barely govern itself."

"Now, we can only do nothing."

Afterwards, Ren Yaji came to the place where Zhou Hong was imprisoned. He withdrew the soldiers guarding the gate. Then, he took out a bunch of keys, counted them, found the key to the room, and used the key to release Zhou Hong.

"Zhou Hong, I have sent someone to confirm that what you said is true. You can leave now."

After Ren Yaji finished speaking, Zhou Hong just walked out of the room but did not leave.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want?"

Ren Yaji asked.

"City Lord Ren, I want to know everything about the evil beast!"

Seeing Zhou Hong's serious expression, Ren Yaji was silent for a moment, then he said: "These things were originally secrets of the court. Civilian warriors will only be informed by the court after they reach the Viscera Realm. However, since you are a witness to the evil beast disaster, it is okay to tell you."

Listening to Ren Yaji's words, Zhou Hong knew that the next words were extremely important, so he was very alert and did not dare to miss anything.
