Chapter 75 Not far from death?

Lin Rui glanced outside the study. The yard was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

It seems that the Blood Knife Lady has no intention of continuing the attack.

He tilted his head and adjusted the angle, looking inside through the knife marks on the screen, and found that there seemed to be a person standing behind the screen.

It seems like Master Du is inside?

The young county magistrate looked a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Rui's actions. He picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it. "Don't look at it anymore. I asked Captain Lin to come here today just for this matter. What do you think?"

"How dare I refuse your command, sir? Moreover, protecting the people and suppressing the demons is my duty!"

Lin Rui stood up and bowed with a look of gratitude, then changed the subject: "However, sir, as far as I know, Zuihualou has been attacked by fourth-level demons several times, and it even suffered a fire not long ago.

I'm afraid I'm not capable enough on my own to be absolutely sure, so I'd like to bring Wang Erqi along as a helper. However, Wang Erqi has only just opened up his six meridians, so his strength is a bit lacking, and I'm a bit worried."

The young county magistrate laughed when he heard this. Lin Rui was beating around the bush and wanted to get benefits for his right-hand man.

However, he was a little worried about Wang Erqi.

Look at the several official documents written by Wang Erqi. His handwriting is not particularly beautiful, but it is clean and tidy, and his choice of words and sentences is also very appropriate, better than many experienced officials.

Wang Erqi had studied in a private school for five years before, but the young county magistrate knew very well what the level of ordinary private school students was.

He hesitated, weighed the pros and cons for a moment, then smiled and took out two more mid-grade soul stones from the iron box and threw them to Lin Rui: "Twenty-Seven has already used a Dragon Tiger Meridian Opening Pill, so he can't use other meridian-opening pills in the short term. However, when I was in the academy, I happened to see a technique of static stance that can quickly open meridians. Twenty-Seven's stance happens to be the 'Wind Chi Stance', which is half static stance, so it can be used.

These are two mid-grade soul stones. Have him take them while practicing the standing meditation, and then apply some 'Dragon Tiger Body Strengthening Oil' to his body. This will help him open his meridians a little faster and also increase the strength of his spiritual thoughts."

The young county magistrate chose the lesser of two evils. Wang Twenty-Seven had recently been following Lin Twelve in hunting down demons, and had indeed put in a lot of effort, becoming Lin Twelve's right-hand man.

Lin Twelve is in danger now and really needs a helper.

Lin Rui had no idea that the county magistrate was thinking so much at that moment. He looked delighted after taking the soul stone.

What Wang Sen lacks most now is actually mental strength, so these two medium-grade soul stones are actually more helpful to him.

Lin Rui was not satisfied. He hesitated and said, "Sir, I'm afraid two mid-grade soul stones are not enough. Wang Ershiqi is extremely talented, and his cultivation speed is almost as fast as mine. If he has enough medicine to help him, he will definitely break through within ten days, and our county government will have another skilled expert."

He was certain that the county magistrate had something to ask of him. Besides, the county magistrate must have felt guilty and embarrassed about the screen being exposed just now, so he took the opportunity to ask for a huge favor.

The young county magistrate's face darkened immediately. He took out a medium-grade soul stone from the iron box and threw it over. "This is the only one I have left. I can only help him so far. Okay, you can go down."

He didn't care that the tea was still scalding hot, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he shook the empty cup towards Lin Rui.

What I mean is, I've finished my tea, why don't you get out?
Lin Rui was also very straightforward: "Thank you very much, sir. On behalf of Twenty-Seven, I would like to thank you for your support and gifts. He and I will go to Zuihua Tower right away."

He was already very satisfied. This time, he got nearly 650 taels of magic silver worth of soul stone pills from the county magistrate. It was a huge profit.

Moreover, there is no place to buy pills like the "Blood Training Divine Will Pill" in Yinyue County.

Just as Lin Rui was about to walk out the door, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Sir, I believe that those flammable objects in the city are likely to be used to deceive people. If we pay too much attention to them, we may overlook other things. I have been reviewing some files in the past few days and feel that the number of demons in the city has increased significantly recently. Perhaps there is another reason."

Lin Rui had privately informed the county magistrate about the Zhao family's kerosene three days ago.

But now he felt that these flammable materials were insignificant, and not even misleading. They were just the actions of the mastermind behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire.

Lin Rui actually found something in the mineral catalog of Wangcheng County, but it was not convenient for him to tell the county magistrate, so he could only remind him indirectly.

The young county magistrate's face turned serious when he heard this, and he nodded: "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

Shortly after Lin Rui left the study, Master Du, his face as pale as paper and a look of lingering fear, walked out from behind the screen. With trembling hands, he placed a magic mirror that had been cut in half on the desk in front of the young county magistrate.

"Your guess is correct, sir. The Blood Blade Princess is indeed following Lin Twelve."

The reason why he hid behind the screen this time was not to take a picture of Lin Twelve, but to take a picture of Blood Knife Princess. As a result, he almost lost his life.

They had made every possible arrangement, but she still noticed, so she struck him from the air as a warning. Master Du felt incredibly unlucky. Following this lord was truly a matter of life and death. The county magistrate had clearly promised to defend him with all his might if the situation changed during the demon-discovery operation, but in the end, he hadn't been able to stop it.

He frowned, "Sir, this Blood Blade Princess is incredibly powerful. Although she has only just entered the Fourth Realm, her combat power is definitely superior to most of the Fourth Realm demons. Her talent is definitely at the King level, perhaps Super King, or even the Emperor level. I wouldn't be surprised. She is indeed a descendant of the Last Emperor. Her bloodline is purer than we imagined."

Also, the bloody aura on her body is very faint, almost non-existent, which means that those murders were definitely not committed by the Blood Knife Princess. In addition, I am very surprised that it has been ten days since the day the Blood Knife Princess devoured her master——"

During these ten days, Blood Blade Princess had not "eaten" anything, so the blood evil aura had decreased instead of increased!
This meant her blood addiction would also reach its peak! If an ordinary person endured that kind of pain, they would probably go crazy.

From what he had just observed, this woman had endured to the limit, but she still restrained her murderous intent and did not kill him directly.

"This shows that her willpower is extremely strong, but how could such a Blood Blade Princess lose control and devour her master?"

The young magistrate sighed, "It seems those two Ruyi knots are of no use. I should try again."

The young county magistrate wanted to take the risk and seduce the girl himself, but he had been staying in Zuihua Tower for several days, and Xuedao Ji had no interest in even looking at him. What could he do?

The incident of the Blood Blade Lady devouring her master must be extremely sinister and dangerous.

The good news is that Lin Twelve has broken through the third realm and can avoid being eaten by the Blood Knife Lady who has reached her limit of patience.

Sadly, the Blood Knife Lady has a huge hidden danger, and Lin Twelve, a young and talented child, is still not far from death.

"Your Excellency, there's no need to do this. Lin Twelve has broken through to the third realm and has already reached the requirements of a 'Demon Envoy'. He also has the rare item you gave him, so there's at least a glimmer of hope for survival."

Master Du actually preferred to see Lin Twelve take on the evil Blood Knife Princess.

Although he admired and cherished Lin Twelve's talent, being the county magistrate was his livelihood. The Blood Knife Princess obviously had problems, and even the county magistrate might not be able to suppress her.

He cupped his hands and said, "Lin Twelve is young and handsome, with a picturesque face and full of vigor. He is exactly the type that Blood Blade Princess likes. He also has good luck. He will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing!"

The young county magistrate glanced at Master Du unhappily.

Just three days ago, Master Du scolded him for this absurd and ridiculous statement.

"Forget it. There's nothing I can do now. I can only rely on him from now on."

The young magistrate shook his head and walked to the window to look out at the courtyard. "Lin Twelve is right. Those flammable materials might be a trick. I'm more worried about Huoxu Town now."

A gloomy look appeared in the young county magistrate's eyes: "We still have to find a way to conceal the truth and go over there to take a look."

Huoxu Town is about ten miles away from the county seat. It is rumored that a long time ago, that was the county seat of Yinyue County, but it was burned into ruins due to war.

It is also said that 3000 years ago, the area was still desolate. It was not until the population of Yinyue County gradually prospered that people began to live there, and gradually a smaller town was formed.

Because it was built on ruins, the town is named Huoxu Town.

Just three days ago, a fire broke out in Huoxu Town, burning nearly one-third of the town, and the surrounding area was shrouded in red mist.

The local "li zheng" and "patrolmen" investigated the scene and found signs of evil spirits at the center of the fire, so they asked for help from the county town.

The young county magistrate was too busy to go there.

In the past two days, Huoxu Town has been cut off from contact with the county town. Although it is only ten miles away, there is no news and no one has come from there.

This reminded the young county magistrate of an ancient legend circulating in Yinyue County, and he felt extremely uneasy.

He suspected that the real target of the conspiracy was Huoxu Town, ten miles away, and wanted to go and see it for himself.

However, given the current situation in Yinyue County, the young county magistrate dared not leave at all.

Besides, the young county magistrate was still wondering what the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to do with the Blood Knife Princess?

He instinctively judged that this fourth-level king-level demon played a very important role in that person's plan.
