Chapter 279 Collusion, Demons Dancing Wildly
Shen Qing and others were not kept waiting for too long, and soon a servant walked in with a dusty appearance and said: "Master Shen."
Shen Qing asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"My lord, the Sheriff and his whole family were devoured by demons!"
The officer took a breath and continued: "I don't know when a big demon sneaked into the county house just now. The demon was so powerful that the county guard and the others couldn't resist it. Now there are no bones left."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into a dead silence, with only the occasional howling of the wind coming from the courtyard in response.
Shen Qing's eyes narrowed.
Not long ago, the county guard was seriously injured in a bloody fight with the snake demon and has been in seclusion to heal his injuries.
That day he saw clearly that although the county governor said he was out of danger, in fact he had not recovered at all, and his strength was greatly reduced.
The demon that appears now is probably on par with the snake demon, and County Sheriff Bai Mu cannot resist it in his current situation.
Once the county guard died, their county government lost an important part of its combat power.
What's even more troublesome is that the county government is leaderless. Once someone takes advantage of it, it will inevitably fall into chaos.
Shen Qing clenched his fists and his veins popped out, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Lord Huangfu, let's go to the county mansion now to see what's going on."
Huangfu's rosy eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression rarely became more solemn: "Okay."
Before they finished speaking, the two men's bodies were already flying to the roof like arrows from the string, stimulating their spiritual power to perform light skills.
Huangfu Rou's figure is elegant, like a dragon swimming out of the sea. Every step he takes is a few feet away.
Shen Qing followed closely behind.
Huangfu Rou, who was far in front, looked slightly startled when he saw this scene.
You must know that her great virtual technique is extremely fast when used.
Before, Shen Qing couldn't keep up with her at all.
Now even if she activates the Great Xu Technique with all her strength, Shen Qing will not fall far behind. The difference between before and after is extremely obvious.
She looked at Shen Qing carefully and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Shen Qing, I see that your aura is strong and your spiritual power is integrated. Could it be that..." Huangfu Rou asked as he walked, with surprise in his tone.
Shen Qing did not hide it and admitted directly: "Master Huangfu has a keen eye. Recently, I have had the opportunity to successfully break through to the Alchemy Realm and my cultivation has greatly increased."
Huangfu Rou's steps stopped involuntarily, and the shock in his eyes was even more difficult to conceal.
What?
How long has it been?
If he remembers correctly, it was only a year and a half since he joined the Weiwu Division and became a chaplain.
At that time, he was just a young martial artist in the Qi Sea Realm.
In other words, in the past year and a half, he has successively broken through two major realms.
Huangfurou's heart suddenly stirred up a storm.
As a martial arts practitioner, she understands the horror of it.
For ordinary people, before the Qi Sea Realm, they could use the court's resources to break through quickly, but after the Qi Sea Realm, every step of breakthrough is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It can't be solved only by relying on resources.
It is normal for many people to be stuck in a bottleneck for several years or even more than ten years.
She had never heard of a breakthrough like Shen Qing's, let alone seen one.
How did he practice to achieve this level?
Huangfu Rou was shocked beyond words.
But business was important and it wasn't time for random thoughts. She quickly put her thoughts away and hurried forward.
The county government is three blocks away from the government office of Weiwusi. In the past, it would have taken more than a quarter of time. However, at this moment, the two of them reached the county government office at top speed and only took a dozen breaths to reach the county government.
The previously majestic and majestic county mansion has been completely reduced to ruins.
The towering city walls collapsed into broken ruins and were scattered all over the ground. The gate had long since disappeared, leaving only the door frame standing alone.
Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou looked at each other, and their eyes turned pale with horror.
The two of them seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said in unison: "It's the Zhou family!"
"It must be them! We have previously found out that the Zhou family is colluding with demons. The demons can appear in the county so openly, and sneak attack and devour the county guard under our noses. Only they can do it!"
"They are acting!"
Shen Qing hurriedly released his spiritual consciousness and spread it around.
…
Somewhere not far away.
A white light suddenly appeared and condensed into a ball.
The white light slowly dispersed like a water curtain, revealing a charming and beautiful figure.
Immediately afterwards, another ray of light fell from the sky.
After spinning around in the void, the figure of an old martial artist was revealed.
His beard and hair are all white and he is in good spirits.
After the old martial artist stabilized his figure, he stepped down in the void and walked towards the charming woman.
The charming woman smiled, licked her lips, and couldn't help but burp.
The old martial artist asked: "Jiu Li, our appointment as an innate martial artist has been fulfilled. It's time for you to fulfill your promise to us, right?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your hospitality." The charming woman bowed her head, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the things you care about can't go away. Just today, I can already feel that force getting closer and closer, and it won't be long before I can."
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can let your cats and dogs come out as originally planned."
"Who should we prepare to deal with first?"
"The Qian family!"
"Oh, why is it the Qian family? Don't you agree to deal with the county government first?"
"The Qian family has declined to this extent. Who else is worthy of sharing the table with us? It's time to give up."
The charming woman smiled so beautifully that she covered her mouth and said, "You old thing are really ruthless. You think people are useless and want to kill their entire family. It's cruel. I like it. What about the other four Xiantians in the county government?"
Old Zhou said with his hands behind his back, "The county government has been infiltrated by us for a long time. Once the county governor is dead, the remaining disobedient ones will be left to us. If you don't mind the trouble, I can treat you to a full meal."
"Okay. I never thought that the taste of Xiantian martial artists would be so delicious." The charming woman licked her lips and said, "Let my little ones do this kind of snacks at the Qian family!"
She clapped her hands.
"Meow!"
A white cat jumped onto the roof and made a sound.
"Let everyone come out and eat at the Qian family."
"That's great, my lady. Everyone has been pent up for so many days." The white cat spoke excitedly.
As it said that, it jumped down and disappeared on the roof.
Suddenly, a divine thought flashed through the two of them.
The charming woman, who was born with a keen intuition, frowned and said, "We seem to have been discovered!"
Mr. Zhou's face changed slightly and said, "Hmm?"
"Speaking of which, the little girl from the Huangfu family seemed to have sent someone to investigate me before. Do you want me to handle it for you?" The charming woman gloated.
Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you."
"Two little guys, it's just a piece of cake." The charming woman turned around and turned into a white light and turned back to the direction of the county government.
Shen Qing, who was standing at the gate of the county government, changed his face and shouted, "Go!"
