I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

After seeing Zhong Xiang and others leave.

He looked at the sky again and calculated the time when it would be dark.

Only then did Zhou Heng have time to take a look at the current system panel.

At this time, the entry in the negative status column of his system panel had already become [Twenty-nine years of life passed].

Twenty-nine years of life passed.

For Zhou Heng, the impact was actually not that great.

After all, he is now at the level of a first-rate warrior and has a lifespan of about two hundred years.

The passing of nearly thirty years of life had only changed his appearance from that of a relatively immature boy to a fairly mature young man, but it did not make his face become very old.

"One transfer opportunity today has not been used, plus there are 25 additional transfer opportunities as a backup.

For safety reasons, this negative state of lost lifespan will not interact with the power of [evil].

So...it's safest to get rid of this negative state first."

thinking in mind.

Zhou Heng quickly made preparations, and then without hesitation, he immediately transferred the negative state of his lifespan away.

In an instant, his mature face turned back to its original childish appearance, but the change was not big, so it did not attract the attention of the people around him.

……

Not long after.

The sky is getting darker.

Under Zhong Xiang's order, the yamen runners who besieged Niluo Village lit torches and illuminated everything around them.

As for Niluo Village, having been besieged for nearly twenty days, the villagers had already used up all the firewood and fuel they could use to start fires.

Therefore, there are very few lights that can be lit in Niluo Village. If you look down from a high altitude, Niluo Village at this moment is just like a dark abyss surrounded by flames, which looks so strange and captivating.

See this situation.

Zhou Heng, who was sitting on the wooden box and quietly waiting for the sky to get completely dark, couldn't help but frown.

Of course, he was not concerned about the life and death of the residents of Niluo Village. He was a selfish person and would never care about others without any profit.

The reason he frowned was because he was worried that the Niluo Village, without the protection of the fire, would attract more evil.

You know, he is not 100% sure of dealing with the evil that is now entrenched in Niluo Village. There are always more evils being attracted. Even if he has more than a hundred opportunities to transfer negative states, there is still a high possibility of failure.

Think of this.

Zhou Heng did not dare to delay and quickly looked at Zhong Xiang and ordered coldly:

"County Magistrate Zhong, quickly lead your men into the village and deliver kerosene to every household.

No matter what, every household must be covered by fire tonight.

If there is a family that does not have the protection of fire during the exorcism and the exorcism fails, then you should quit your job as a county magistrate and die soon and be reincarnated.

Also, when you deliver the oil, please remove all the talismans and other miscellaneous items that the villagers are hanging. They will attract evil spirits."

"Ah! Yes!"

Hearing Zhou Heng's icy order.

Zhong Xiang was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Quick, quick, Captain Zhang, Captain Song, send someone to bring kerosene and follow me into the village."

He quickly ordered people to prepare dozens of barrels of kerosene.

Zhong Xiang did not dare to delay in the slightest and quickly ordered his men to enter the village in several groups, knocking on the doors of each household to deliver oil.

Not long after.

About five minutes after it was completely dark, lights were finally lit in every household in the dark Niluo Village, and the talismans and other miscellaneous items hanging in front of their doors were all violently destroyed by the yamen runners.

After Zhong Xiang led his men out of the village.

Zhou Heng then continued to look at him and asked:

"County Magistrate Zhong, if I remember correctly.

Although you local governors cannot activate the national destiny formation after leaving the main city of your jurisdiction.

However, with the help of the official seal, you should still be able to sense the life and death of the people within your jurisdiction, right?"

"Your Excellency, that is indeed the case."

"Very good, in that case, you should carefully sense the situation in Mud Snail Village later.

If you sense someone has died, please inform me immediately."

"Ah this..."

After hearing Zhou Heng's instructions, Zhong Xiang's expression suddenly became extremely complicated and he became thoughtful.

After a while, he stammered and replied:

"Sir, during the siege of Niluo Village, the villagers have long been dissatisfied with the government.

Therefore, the official seal of Tonghe County can no longer sense the life and death of those unruly people."

"you……"

Zhou Heng was so angry when he heard this that he slammed his box.

“You’re a piece of trash, I knew you were unreliable.

Well, you can take these death row prisoners and serious criminals into the village now.

When the true form of that evil is brought out, you can leave the village again."

"what?!"

"Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please spare my life..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang's face turned pale as death, and he knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed and begged repeatedly without caring about his status as a county chief. He knocked his forehead so hard that it was bleeding, and the black hat on his head was knocked off.

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly he banged his head.

Zhou Heng also spoke in a cold voice with an expressionless face:

"Tonight, this [evil] will seduce you whether you want to or not.

I can mercifully remind you that if you enter the village, you may still have a chance of survival. If you disobey, you will surely die!"

Say it.

Zhou Heng ignored Zhong Xiang and turned to look at the many death row prisoners and serious criminals who became agitated after hearing what he had just said.

As he turned his head to look, he suddenly stepped into the air, stepped several meters high in the air, and in a few steps he arrived above the head of one of the death row prisoners.

Then, the trajectory of the Yuan force in his body began to operate, and his body took the posture of a heavy cannon punch, blasting out all the Yuan force gathered in a third-rate Yuan acupoint from above in the form of a heavy cannon punch.

boom! !

In an instant.

A thunderous sound like the roar of a blue dragon suddenly exploded.

Everyone present was frightened to death by the deafening roar, and they all looked towards the source of the sound in a hurry.

Seeing this, their already frightened hearts and livers became even more frightened, and everyone's eyes widened in horror.

The death row prisoner who was originally standing under Zhou Heng had now turned into a pile of tattered corpses. A large charred pit half a meter deep appeared where he had just stood, as if he had been struck by a terrifying thunderbolt.

Such an extraordinary and terrifying scene instantly frightened everyone into losing their voices, even Zhong Xiang who had just been kneeling on the ground begging for mercy was no exception.
