Chapter 183: Pressure (Subscribe)

At noon, Lin Xi, who was originally bored and was counting the Zhou family's property accounts, found that the entire Zhou residence suddenly became tense.

All the demons in this house are gathering towards the front yard.

However, the backyard is still heavily guarded.

Lin Xi's two maids are both "Ten-Eyed Monsters" in the middle stage of the fourth realm. They usually look like normal people, but when their emotions are out of control, 10 eyes will grow on their faces, which is particularly weird and terrifying.

Lin Xi also has a nanny who is also in the fifth realm like the two owners of this house. She is a 'hundred-eyed monster' in the early fifth realm, evolved from a 'ten-eyed monster'.

When Lin Xi saw this nanny, he understood why the Alien Management Bureau had to delay until this nanny left before daring to stuff her into the attic that night.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon not only has extremely powerful combat capabilities, but also has a very strong perception ability.

In addition, there are more than a dozen guards and maids in the backyard, all of whom are powerful demons from the four realms.

Among the more than 100 people in the Zhou residence, she seemed to be the only normal living person.

Zhou Yunxi's grandparents, as well as everyone in the house, all turned into demons for some unknown reason.

The government should know about the situation of the Zhou family, but they turned a blind eye to this den of evil. The Imperial City Bureau sent a group of people to station in a restaurant across the street from the backyard to monitor the Zhou house.

However, from what Lin Xi observed over the past two days, it seemed that the demons in the Zhou family had strong self-control abilities. They usually stayed in the house and ignored the outside world.

As for why the previous Zhou Yunxi was eaten, it was probably because that Zhou Yunxi was already dead.

In the minds of these demons, it seems that a living lady is the real lady, and a dead lady is just a delicious piece of meat.

So just as her brother Lin Rui said, she now seems to be in a devil's cave, surrounded by demons, and it is not safe at all. However, as long as she is careful and does not touch the emotions of these demons, she can save her life for the time being.

In addition, there was another thing that concerned Lin Xi. She discovered that none of the demons in this house were weak.

The transformation into a demon depends on the bloodline. You can't transform into a demon to any level you want.

According to the research results of federal scientists, this generally depends on the strength of the Tianji people's emotions at the time and the concentration of their bloodline power.

In addition, if there are living powerful demons above the seventh level among the third generation of the Tianji people, then the probability of them transforming into demons will become very high.

Correspondingly, if there are living martial artists above the seventh realm within the three generations of close relatives, the chances of demonic transformation will be very small.

What surprised Lin Xi was that not only was there no one in the Zhou family below the fourth realm, but their bloodline power was also quite good!

For example, this Hundred-Eyed Demon Nanny is a fifth-level king!
For some unknown reason, all the demons in the house were gathering towards the front yard.

Several relatively powerful elemental tides also erupted over there, as if a conflict had occurred between people inside Zhou's house and those outside.

Lin Xi pondered for a moment, then closed the account book and turned to the waiting nanny Baimu Yao, saying, "Mammy, I want to go to the front yard and take a look. It seems something happened there, and I'm a little worried."

The Hundred Eyes Demon Mammy's eyes moved slightly, and she turned her head with a cold expression, looking at Lin Xi with a dead look in her eyes: "Miss, no, you can't go."

When she spoke, it seemed as if there was a lack of lubricant, her voice was dry, hoarse, and not smooth enough.

"I'm just taking a look. I won't leave the house." Lin Xi smiled at the nanny very gently and kindly. "I'm the master of the Zhou Mansion. Sooner or later, I will take over the Zhou Mansion. I need to understand what's going on and learn how to deal with it myself. Besides, everyone is in the front yard. I'm worried that it's a bit unsafe to stay in the back."

Theoretically speaking, she is indeed the owner of the Zhou Mansion now.

Since the entire Zhou family had turned into demons, leaving her as the only living being, she was to inherit the family's 1,200 hectares of riverside farmland, seven tea plantations, four streets with a total of 120 shops, twelve merchant ships, three docks, and hundreds of thousands of magic silver and divine gold.

So yesterday when she bravely asked her grandfather Zhou An for the Zhou family's account books and land deeds, Zhou An handed them all to her without hesitation.

Lin Xi felt that this 'grandfather' seemed a little impatient at the time, as if he was passing the buck, but he was also very relieved.

She guessed that this person's brain was not very flexible after the transformation and he could no longer handle complex mathematical calculations.

So now, even though Lin Xi knew that this was a devil's den, he was unwilling to leave.

She has realized the value of the identity of 'Zhou Yunxi'.

In addition, Lin Xi also felt that there must be something hidden in Zhou's house.

Perhaps that is the most valuable thing, far more valuable than the Zhou family’s wealth.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Nanny began to think, but perhaps the content of her thoughts was too complicated, and her whole body seemed to have frozen, standing there motionless.

Her face cracked into dozens of cracks at the same time, and scarlet eyeballs could be vaguely seen moving inside these cracks.

Just when Lin Xi was terrified, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mama nodded and said, "Let's go!"

She led the way, taking Lin Xi towards the front yard, with two maids guarding her from behind. When Lin Xi entered the Zhou family's main hall, she saw her 'grandfather' and 'grandmother', both with bloodshot eyes, sitting expressionlessly at the center of the hall.

The Zhou family's demons stood on both sides of the lobby.

Grandfather Zhou An and grandmother Wang were a little surprised by her arrival. They turned their heads and looked at Lin Xi, then looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Nanny, and then turned their gaze to outside the hall.

After Lin Xi came in, he also looked outside.

Due to the obstruction of the screen wall, she could not see what was happening outside. She could only see three archways with the words "Jinshi Ji" (Jinshi successful candidates) standing outside the mansion gate.

Lin Xi also saw the words "Twenty-fourth place in the second class of the Jiashen year special examination" written on the innermost archway.

The Song Dynasty had no civil service examinations, only military examinations. As long as one became a Jinshi, one could be directly appointed to the fifth rank! This was because none of these Jinshi had a cultivation level lower than the fifth realm!
The ranking of 24th in the second class can be said to be very high.

That was during that special examination, when he was ranked among the top thirty among the hundreds of thousands of official martial artists in the entire Song Dynasty!

Although Lin Xi couldn't see the situation outside at this time, she could sense that there were three extremely powerful martial arts forces outside, fighting against her grandparents in the air.

The spiritual power of both sides clashed across the Zhou family's gate, causing the gate and the void on the screen wall to be slightly distorted, making a "bang bang" sound, and the bluestone floor and walls below also creaked under the heavy pressure.

Lin Xi's expression immediately changed as she smelled a strong smell of blood.

The bloody smell not only seeped in from outside the courtyard gate, but also made the demons in the courtyard feel very abnormal. Their eyes were all bloodshot, their faces were distorted, and they could hardly maintain their human form.

Lin Xi felt that he had been a little hasty.

These demons usually wouldn't do anything to her, but once they lost control of their emotions, it was hard to say.

She swallowed and quietly moved to stand behind her grandfather Zhou An. This was because she found that her grandfather's emotions were the most stable among the demons.

However, the smell of blood coming from outside was getting stronger and stronger. Lin Xi became more and more certain that those people outside clearly wanted to use the blood of living people to induce the Zhou family demons to lose control!

Just as Lin Xi was trembling with fear, he heard a cold snort: "What bandit is so bold as to kill people in the streets of Wangcheng County?"

At this moment, two figures, a man and a woman, suddenly flew over and landed in front of the first plaque in front of Zhou Mansion.

Lin Xi was stunned when he saw the two people.

The man among them was wearing a full-body heavy armor that shone brightly. On the right chest of the armor was printed an emblem with the seal characters of "Imperial City Bureau", and several official seals were hung around his waist.

He was very young, only less than twenty years old, but his aura was very impressive. When he looked down from his high vantage point towards the Zhou family hall, all the demons in the hall were slightly choked.

But what concerned Lin Xi more was the girl in red standing behind the young man.

It seemed to be a guardian demon of the 'Blood Knife Princess' type, and its aura was extremely powerful.

After this woman arrived, she forcefully inserted herself between the two elders of the Zhou family and several fifth-level masters outside, interrupting their mental confrontation.

For some reason, Lin Xi suddenly felt an extremely close feeling between himself and the girl in red, as if their blood was resonating.

She immediately realized that this girl in red might be one of the sources of her bloodline.

Lin Xi's alien body has four blood sources. One is one of the three drops of mysterious blood left by their father Lin Cong; one is the blood of the Fourth Realm Super Emperor brought back by Lin Rui; one is her own human body; and one comes from the real Zhou Yunxi.

The Federation's alien breeding technology will intercept part of the surface genes of the Tianji people for camouflage, thereby completing the replacement from the inside out.

This is also the reason why these demons from the Zhou family would identify her as Zhou Yunxi without any doubt.

Lin Xi wondered if this girl in red was the source of her bloodline, then who was that young man in full body heavy armor?
Could it be his brother Lin Rui?

Lin Xi immediately shook his head, thinking it was impossible.

This man is obviously a big shot with great power and status, and he also carries the seal of a sixth-rank official. How could he be his brother?
At this moment, the murmur of her 'grandfather' Zhou An further confirmed her judgment: "Wangchengdu Defense Envoy Lin Twelve?"

Lin Xi's pupils shrank, and he thought to himself that this was actually one of the four pillars of the county government, the Wangcheng Defense Commissioner who could compete with the county governor and the county lieutenant?

After the young man arrived, he glanced down, then placed his hand on his knife and coldly looked at Zhou An and his wife in the hall, saying with a sneer, "Mr. Zhou, are you preparing to meet guests? You're all so restless, what are you trying to do? You're hungry and want to eat, right? You've always been quite honest, but today, can't you bear it?"

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful and majestic spiritual force enveloped the place, and the potential energy distorted the heaven and earth.

Zhou An and his wife both twitched their expressions slightly, and raised their heads to look at Lin Twelve, the defense commander of Wangcheng.

The eyes of both of them were extremely solemn: "Is this, the abyss?"

At this time, the many demons from the four realms in the hall were all trembling with fear in their eyes.
