Chapter 171 Kill with one sword

The streets are quiet. Apart from the occasional people walking around and the vendors hawking their wares on both sides of the streets, the fallen leaves in late autumn have become the only scenery on the streets.

The members of the Tianjian Division looked anxious, breathing heavily while speaking, and looked out of breath.

The matter was so urgent that he rushed over at full speed without stopping for even a moment.

In addition, most of the cold sweats are caused by anxiety.

"Natural disaster or man-made disaster?"

After hearing what the members of the Tianjian Division said, Shen Bai frowned slightly and released his hand that was holding Amber.

He once told the members of the Tianjian Division that if there was nothing major, they did not need to report to him and they just needed to follow the Division's established thinking.

But now, the members of the Tianjian Division have found me. There is only one reason for this: the matter must have gone beyond their authority, and perhaps it has reached the point where it cannot be handled, so I need to take action myself.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai nodded and said, "Don't panic, go to the Jiantian Division and tell me in detail as you go."

Since the incident has already happened, we must first understand what happened. Although the members of the Tianjian Division also gave a description just now, it was ultimately a general statement. Shen Bai still needs to understand it in detail before he can make a conclusion.

The members of the Tianjian Division nodded quickly, made way, followed Shen Bai, and began to tell the story.

"The thing is like this..."

……

Shen Bai remained silent all the way until he arrived at the Tianjian Division, where he stopped.

After listening to the narration by the members of the Tianjian Division, Shen Bai had figured out the whole story.

Under Nanxing Prefecture, there is a state-level city called Huayuan Prefecture, and under Huayuan Prefecture, there is a county-level city called Donglai County.

Donglai County is located in a fertile area, and the people are wealthy. They often make a living from agriculture, and it is a stable place.

But just this morning, something unusual happened, catching the people of Donglai County off guard.

Storms, floods, diseases...

Every kind of disaster imaginable broke out in the space of a morning.

The people were surrounded by disasters, and some were so unlucky that they would even get bumped and bleeding just by walking on the road.

The most crucial thing is that this incident not only affected the common people, but also those who practiced cultivation.

Many people who practice cultivation don’t know what bad luck has befallen them, and suddenly encounter all kinds of disasters. For example, when practicing, they suddenly practice qi incorrectly and get seriously injured.

This kind of thing happened more than once.

The local county government was unable to investigate and could only report it to the state-level city. After receiving the report, Huayuan State sent members of the Tianjian Division to investigate, but to no avail.

Subsequently, the matter was reported to Nanxing Prefecture.

Zheng Xing is the owner of the registered house and Shen Bai's right-hand man. After receiving the news, he immediately issued a task. It is said that two members of the C Division who have reached the state of unity will personally go to Donglai County to investigate.

But the result was confusing.

They returned empty-handed and found nothing. The disaster even began to spread further, affecting more people.

At present, it is still possible to control the situation, but if it lasts for a long time, even for three to five days, Donglai County will suffer serious losses.

Zheng Xing was confused and couldn't make up his mind, so he could only send someone to find Shen Bai.

This led to the scene on the street before.

"Lord Shen, you are finally here. What should we do?" Zheng Xing said.

He kept walking back and forth in the courtyard of the Tiansi, looking extremely anxious.

There is no other way. If the cause can be found, with the strength of Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi, it will definitely be easily solved. But the key is that no specific cause can be found, and it feels like I have no idea where to start.

Shen Bai asked, "In such a large celestial monitoring department, is there no one who knows how to divination?"

In Shen Bai's opinion, it might be more effective to find someone who uses divination to deal with this kind of thing.

If there is no source, use divination to find the source, then find clues based on the source, and follow the clues to find the person behind the scenes.

Zheng Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I've asked people from the Taoist sect for help with divination, but they couldn't figure it out."

According to the process, Zheng Xing certainly knew how to deal with it, but the problem was that it seemed to be of no use at all.

Shen Bai touched his chin, then raised his right hand and circulated the Qi in his body.

He used his magical power of divination, and as Shen Bai calculated, a fog appeared in front of Shen Bai's eyes, and he could not see any clues at all.

If there are methods of divination, there are naturally methods to deal with divination.

Shen Bai felt that perhaps the level of his third-level divination technique was not high enough, and coupled with the fact that the other party was able to conceal the clues, Shen Bai was unable to figure it out.

"Lord Shen, what's the situation?" Zheng Xing asked.

In recent days, he has been working with Wu Tian, ​​the owner of the resource house, to learn a lot about Shen Bai's past.

Especially the title of the Eight Wonders Young Master made Zheng Xing feel extremely frightened.

Since he is the Young Master of the Eight Absolutes, he must have many methods.

Zheng Xing hoped that perhaps he could rely on Shen Bai's many methods to find the reason behind the scenes.

As long as it is found, it will definitely be properly resolved under the thundering means of the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjiansi.

But looking at Shen Bai's current state, it seems that even Shen Bai can't find out the cause.

This made Zheng Xing feel distressed.

Shen Bai was about to let go, but after hearing this, he subconsciously took a look at the fog he had calculated.

At this moment, an invisible thread that ordinary people could not detect suddenly emerged from the fog and floated around Shen Bai's body, as if it had a spirit and was constantly circling up and down.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

The magical power of divination was in tune with his mind, and in an instant he had an epiphany.

"This thread is connected to me, which means that this matter is directed at me." Shen Bai said in his heart.

The silk threads floating around indicate that the matter is related to Shen Bai.

Although Shen Bai couldn't figure out the specific clues, it was extremely simple to figure this out.

"So, let's calculate the good and bad luck."

Shen Bai raised his fingers and continued to calculate.

The hexagram technique has the attributes of good and bad luck, so it is naturally used to calculate the good and bad luck of events.

Although there are no clues, we can still get some ideas about good and bad luck.

Zheng Xing was already disappointed, but when he saw Shen Bai calculating again, he couldn't help but rekindle his hope.

As for the fact that Shen Bai could tell fortunes, Zheng Xing was already used to it.

Although Shen Bai has not been in Nanxing Mansion for a long time, the title of Eight Wonders Young Master is no joke.

Having more abilities, doesn’t that just fit the bill?
Zheng Xing and Wu Tian could also see that Shen Bai was not like those people with powerful backgrounds who just came here to gild their reputation, but was a person with real abilities.

He now hopes to find clues, otherwise the people of Donglai County will probably suffer.

After Shen Bai calculated for a moment, a large area of ​​gold appeared in front of him.

Gold represents auspiciousness.

If it is ominous, it will be a mass of black as ink.

Now it is all golden, without any other colors, which means that Shen Bai's trip to Donglai County will be smooth sailing.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Take a team of Division C members and go with me to Donglai County to take a look."

Since the matter is related to him, and he has always been very lucky in the past, Shen Bai wants to see what's going on.

Zheng Xing was slightly stunned, then reacted and quickly carried out the order: "I'll do it right away."

Astronomical Supervisor, executing orders is your primary task.

Although Zheng Xing didn't know why Shen Bai suddenly wanted to go there alone, he immediately returned to the registration room.

Shen Bai was personally responsible for this mission, so Zheng Xing naturally had to make proper arrangements.

Soon, more than ten members of Division C, led by Zheng Xing, came to Shen Bai.

Zheng Xing said, "Master Shen, this is the leader of this trip, Fang Tong, who has just entered the realm of Transformation."

More than ten members of Division C are all at the Unity Realm, and the team leader Fang Tong has even entered the Void Transformation Realm.

Since it was Shen Bai who took action, Zheng Xing was naturally the elite who was contacted.

As for why Shen Bai only wanted members of Division C to carry out the mission, the reason was that although the current situation in Nanxing Prefecture was stable, there was still some cleanup to be done. Divisions A and B were at worst at the Void Transformation Realm, and having them in charge would prevent a bigger mess from happening.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Then follow me to Donglai County."

Once things are finalized and tasks are arranged, let's set off.

After this matter is over, Shen Bai will go back to Jiantiansi to improve his proficiency. He doesn't want to delay any longer.

"Yes!"

Many members of the Tianjian Division bowed in response.

……

Donglai County.

The county, which was once prosperous, has now become plagued by disasters.

The river embankment in the east collapsed, flooding a large area of ​​crops. Diseases broke out in the west, and many people became dying. Strong winds blew in the south, making it extremely difficult for pedestrians to travel on the road. Wild beasts in the north injured people, and walking on the road was life-threatening.

The originally stable and prosperous small county town was devastated in just one morning.

County Magistrate Yu Yaozu was sweating profusely at this time. Looking at the number of casualties being reported continuously, he felt that his eyes were dark and the future was bleak.

Although the situation was brought under control quickly and dealt with promptly, and no casualties were caused, it is like a chronic meat grinder. After a long time, large-scale disasters will break out, and death is inevitable.

What's more, it has already caused a large number of livelihood problems. If it is not dealt with immediately, it will be difficult to resolve.

County Magistrate Yu felt that after all the effort he put into making Donglai County what it is today, he had just encountered such a thing. He was completely finished.

He just wanted a quick resolution so his sin wouldn't get worse.

"Report!"

A constable hurried into the county government office and shouted, "The Nanxing Prefecture Heavenly Supervisor has sent someone over!"

Magistrate Yu, who was secretly feeling sad, immediately stood up when he heard this and asked, "How many people have come?"

He is miserable.

Now that the higher-ups had finally sent someone down, County Magistrate Yu felt that his suffering was finally coming to an end.

The constable wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "About ten people have arrived. The leader is a young man who is only at the Tongmai realm, but everyone around him is very respectful to him."

County Magistrate Yu was slightly taken aback. "At the Tongmai realm, you're still so respectful?"

At this moment, County Magistrate Yu suddenly felt as if he had been abandoned.

This matter is so important, but the team leader is only at the Tongmai realm. From this, it can be seen that the higher-ups do not seem to pay enough attention to the affairs of Donglai County.

Since this is the case, County Magistrate Yu feels that his tenure as an official seems to be over.

"Forget it, I'll go and greet him myself." County Magistrate Yu said with a wry smile.

Although his superiors did not take him seriously, he was only a county magistrate, so how could he not go to welcome the lord from the prefecture-level city?

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Yu stood up and rushed towards the county gate.

……

County government.

Shen Bai frowned as he looked at the tragic scene around him.

Fang Tong stood aside respectfully, not daring to say a word.

Although Shen Bai is only at the Tongmai realm, his identity is there.

Moreover, he contacted the Gao family alone and even killed someone in anger at a dinner party in Dongfangli.

No matter which one it is, it is worthy of Fang Tong's attitude.

What's more, after Shen Bai arrived, he delegated power to his subordinates, allowing everyone to work boldly. Fang Tong admired him and felt that having such a superior was already very good.

"The evildoers in the martial arts world are truly a chronic disease of the Great Zhou Kingdom." Shen Bai looked around and said.

A large number of constables came and went, carrying seriously injured civilians on various simple stretchers, and passed by Shen Bai one after another.

This scene looks extremely tragic. People seem so vulnerable in the face of natural disasters.

Fang Tong nodded and said, "The Great Zhou Kingdom is in turmoil right now, and the evil people in the martial arts world are starting to think about it. But it's not just the Great Zhou Kingdom, even the surrounding countries are doing the same, but they are trying to be more subtle."

In this world, where there is good, there is evil.

Evil is like weeds, which can never be burned out. After one crop is burned out, a new crop will grow.

But the situation is still under control now.

Naturally, the people suffered the most.

The two were chatting when suddenly footsteps were heard.

Shen Bai looked back and saw the county magistrate rushing over.

"I am Yu Yaozu, the county magistrate of Donglai County. Nice to meet you, sir. May I know your name?" County Magistrate Yu had just arrived and immediately bowed.

Shen Bai didn't say anything, but Fang Tong spoke first.

"The person before me is a distinguished person from Nanxing Prefecture, Lord Shen, the head of the Nanxing Prefecture."

Fang Tong said calmly, "Lord Shen heard that Donglai County was in dire straits, so he personally led a team to investigate the danger in Donglai County."

Director of the Ministry of Personnel?
Lord Shen?
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Yu widened his eyes.

He originally thought that the person who came was probably a small figure in Nanxing Prefecture, but he never expected that it was the new director of the Si Mansion.

Naturally, many people in the officialdom of Nanxing Prefecture knew about this matter.

Although he was located in Donglai County, it was also within the jurisdiction of Nanxing Prefecture, so he naturally understood this.

However, County Magistrate Yu never expected that this matter would alarm the Chief Si and cause him to come in person.

County Magistrate Yu knew everything about Shen Bai because the rumor was so widespread in the martial arts world.

The Eight Great Masters, the one who triumphed in adversity, the one who ranked first in the internal examination, the new noble of the Great Zhou Kingdom...

County Magistrate Yu knew very well that this was a person of truly noble status, and one who had made his mark entirely through his own hard work.

Such a person actually came in person. County Magistrate Yu had already thrown all his previous emotions out of the window.

It was then that County Magistrate Yu discovered that although there were only a dozen people coming, each of them was a master at the Unity Realm, especially Fang Tong, who was at the Void Transformation Realm.

"Sir Shen, I..." County Magistrate Yu was speechless for a moment.

Shen Bai waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the matter anymore. Take me to the place where the disaster is most serious."

Etiquette, no need.

The important thing is that Shen Bai needs to solve the problem now, and after solving it, go back and improve his proficiency as soon as possible.

County Magistrate Yu did not expect that Lord Shen would be such a decisive person and he reacted quickly.

The matter is indeed urgent, so simplicity and directness are actually good things. Red tape will only make the disaster worse.

"Please follow me, Lord Shen." County Magistrate Yu waved his hand quickly.

Shen Bai said no more and followed County Magistrate Yu, walking forward.

……

east.

Shen Bai had been walking for half an hour.

The closer Shen Bai got to the east, the more water vapor he felt rising, and the air became much more humid.

As he walked, County Magistrate Yu explained, "There was a sudden, heavy rainfall here, and the dam burst, causing extensive damage."

"I reacted immediately and sent people to block the riverbank, but the river is still surging. I'm afraid this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause."

A raging river appeared ahead.

The ground was covered with water marks and the soil had become wet.

The river embankment was badly damaged and became bumpy after several rounds of repairs.

But even so, the turbulent river water is still undercurrent and may overflow at any time.

Shen Bai felt the humidity around him and raised his hand to calculate.

Performing divination in Nanxing Mansion might not be useful, but when he arrived at his destination, Shen Bai still wanted to give it a try.

Unfortunately, Shen Bai obtained too few clues and still found nothing.

It just shows the location of good and bad luck, and now it is very auspicious.

Shen Bai frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just as Zheng Xing said, if there were clues, it would be very easy to deal with. The key problem is that there are almost no clues.

It's like punching cotton, with no real power at all.

County Magistrate Yu asked, "Master Shen, have you noticed anything?"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I haven't found any clues yet."

County Magistrate Yu showed disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that Shen Bai, who was known as the Eight Wonders Young Master in the martial arts world, could see some clues, but now it seems that the clues are hidden very deeply.

Fang Tong had been following behind Shen Bai. Seeing this, he asked, "Master Shen, should we send someone over to dig this place up and see if there's anything unusual?"

County Magistrate Yu quickly said, "Absolutely not! If this embankment is dug up again, it will be difficult to repair, and the disaster will be even greater."

Fang Tong frowned and said, "But if not, how can we find the root cause?"

County Magistrate Yu had a distressed expression.

Of course he knew this, but if he really did this and still couldn't find any clues, it would not just be a matter of hurting the enemy a thousand and hurting himself eight hundred, but he would have to bear all the losses himself.

Shen Bai listened to the conversation between the two, thought for a moment, and said, "Amber, come and take a look."

Next to him, Amber had two cat ears on her head and had an interested look on her face since she came to this riverbank.

Shen Bai was familiar with this appearance. He had seen Amber in this state before when he encountered strange or weird things.

Now, without any clues, Shen Bai wanted to see what was happening with Amber.

Hearing this, Amber immediately turned around and looked at Shen Bai with excitement, saying, "Amber has a solution. This place has become like this because of the weird thing, and now that the weird thing has disappeared, it seems to have evolved into something weird."

She raised her head proudly, as if asking for praise.

In the past, this amber was always a pendant on the owner's thigh. Although it was useful, it was not used much.

But since its second evolution, this amber has had stronger perception abilities, and now it can finally help its master in return.

What is this called? This is what you call a useful monster.

When it comes close, it can help its owner clear away troubles, and when it moves away, it can act cute and ask for pats.

The other strange beasts are just for show.

Only you can reach the top with your master.

Shen Bai touched Amber's ears, feeling the furry texture was very nice. He said, "Look, where is that weirdo?"

Once Shen Bai found the strangeness, he could easily solve it and put an end to the disaster here. As for the person behind the scenes, he might be able to find clues through the strangeness. After all, the divine art has its own unique characteristics. If he gets more clues, he might be able to wipe out the other party in one fell swoop.

Amber hummed, nodded, and then sniffed.

A cold aura circulated through Amber's body, and then all the cold aura surged forward.

In a moment, the cold air was directed to only one location on the ground.

Amber pointed ahead and said, "It's underground. Someone inserted a strange object into the ground and then disappeared. As resentment grew, strange things emerged. Because of the strange object's cover, this strange thing is difficult to detect."

Ground?

Shen Bai turned around and said, "Fang Tong, follow the position Amber just said and blast it open with brute force."

With his subordinates present, Shen Bai naturally didn't have to do it himself.

Subordinates are meant to be used.

County Magistrate Yu did not continue to stop him.

Firstly, this was an order issued personally by Lord Shen, and County Magistrate Yu could not afford to offend Lord Shen, a man of such noble status.

Secondly, the location pointed out by Shen Bai will not cause the river embankment to collapse, nor will it allow the disaster to spread.

There was no need for him to stop it.

Fang Tong bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

After saying this, he drew the long sword from his waist and circulated the Qi in his body.

The state of transformation into emptiness is higher than the state of unity.

Although Fang Tong has just entered the Void Transformation Realm, his strength is naturally incomparable to that of the Unity Realm.

He swung out his long sword and cut it off with one strike.

In a moment, the terrifying sword light pierced through the sky and the earth, and cut at the place where Amber said.

The next moment, the sword light rained down, cutting a terrifying deep pit in the ground.

After the knife light faded, a cold breath emanated from the deep pit.

When the cold air dissipated, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

"A monster is about to appear, protect the lord!" Fang Tong stood in front of Shen Bai, holding a long sword.

The remaining dozen or so members of Division C protected Shen Bai behind them.

Shen Bai has been in the martial arts world for so long, but this is the first time he has experienced the feeling of being protected by someone like this, and he finds it a bit novel.

He looked closely and found that a strange and bizarre creature appeared in the deep pit.

The strange creature is covered with pustules all over its body, emitting a disgusting smell. It is spherical in shape and looks vomit-inducing.

"It's a disaster." Fang Tong's face showed a serious expression.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I see."

Shen Bai naturally knew what the disaster ghost was.

There is no such thing as smooth sailing in this world. Disasters always emerge inadvertently.

During disasters, those affected will feel resentful.

The disaster ghost absorbs resentment and is born. In the terrifying resentment, it turns into a monster that brings disaster.

This kind of weirdness is extremely terrifying because it is difficult to detect.

In addition, the harm they bring also occurs on a large scale.

Under various disasters, if no trace of the disaster is found, it will gradually spread.

In addition, the new resentment generated by the disaster will gradually increase the power of the disaster ghost.

"Transform into nothingness?" Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

The strange creature in front of him had strength far beyond the state of unity and had already reached the state of transformation.

County Magistrate Yu was just a small county magistrate with little power, and his forehead was already covered in sweat.

He never expected that a strange person in the Huaxu realm would appear in Donglai County. This would be a terrifying blow to not only the county, but even the state capital.

"Sir Shen, please leave first. Don't let anything happen to you." Fang Tong's face also showed a serious look.

He had just entered the Void Transformation Realm and his strength was not stable.

Now, with the help of him and more than ten colleagues in the state of unity, they may be able to narrowly defeat this disaster monster.

But before that, Shen Bai's safety must be guaranteed.

If something happened to Shen Bai, I'm afraid the entire Nanxing Prefecture would be implicated. After all, Shen Bai's identity is too noble.

County Magistrate Yu also reacted and hurriedly grabbed Shen Bai, saying, "Master Shen, let's step back a few steps and let Master Fang and the others take action."

He has no choice.

Anyone can get into trouble here except Shen Bai.

Although he can overcome adversity, Shen Bai is only at the Tongmai realm, which is too far away from the Huaxu realm.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and suddenly pulled out the Hanyue from his waist.

This action immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Fang Tong was just about to speak when he saw Shen Bai move.

"amber."

"Meow!"

Amber meowed, turned into a stream of light, and merged into Shen Bai's body.

Hanyue thrust forward fiercely.

The blood-red sword energy, like a flower of death, instantly bloomed above the cold moon.

Under the sweep of terrifying sword energy, the sword was like a waning moon in the sky, surging towards the disaster monster.

"laugh……"

There was a sound of a long sword piercing flesh.

The blood-red sword energy carried a brilliant righteousness, and with the blessing of various magical powers, it was like falling stars.

Zaigui's figure suddenly stopped.

Then, cracks appeared all over the body of the disaster ghost.

When the crack first appears, it is as thin as a hair, but it expands rapidly in an instant.

In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a dense shape, covering the entire body of the disaster monster.

"Crack!"

The sound of an eggshell breaking suddenly rang out.

Starting from under the disaster monster, the ashes gradually spread and covered the entire body of the disaster monster.

In just a few breaths, the disaster monster turned into ashes in the breeze and drifted into the sky.

Ten strands of evil spirit appeared, were absorbed into Shen Bai's body, and disappeared.

"The weirdness of the Huaxu realm gives me ten strands of evil spirits, which is quite rich." Shen Bai thought to himself as he sheathed his sword.

He only had two strands of evil spirit, and now he had ten more. For Shen Bai, this was an enormous gain.

It just so happens that when there is a qualitative change in the future, a large amount of evil energy will be needed, so now we don’t have to worry about insufficient evil energy for the time being.

Shen Bai turned around, looked at everyone, and said, "Let's see if the disaster has subsided."

Only after these words were spoken did everyone present come to their senses.

Fang Tong looked at Shen Bai, as if he was still in a dream, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He had just entered the Huaxu realm, so he naturally knew how terrifying the Huaxu realm was.

Compared to the state of unity, the state of emptiness is a natural chasm that ordinary people cannot cross.

Even though they were both at the Huaxu realm, Fang Tong would have to spend a lot of effort if he wanted to kill the disaster ghost.

But now, the extremely terrifying disaster monster was killed by Shen Bai with a single sword before it even had time to use its ultimate move.

Fang Tong was very sure that Shen Bai really only used one sword.

But Shen Bai is at the Tongmai realm!
"Can I conquer two realms by conquering the enemy in adversity?" Fang Tong said to himself.

County Magistrate Yu said the same thing: "I now seem to understand the true meaning of the so-called "strike back in spite of adversity."

The rest of the members of Division C all looked at Shen Bai with horror, as if they didn't know Shen Bai.

Although they all respected Shen Bai, there were many reasons for this.

Firstly, Shen Bai’s status is clear. As the head of the department, his subordinates must respect him.

Secondly, after Shen Bai came to Nanxing Prefecture, he delegated power to them, which also made them admire him.

Although there are many reasons, none of them points to Shen Bai's strength.

They originally thought that Shen Bai's strength at the Tongmai realm would not be enough in Nanxing Prefecture even if he faced adversity, but now it seems that they were wrong.

Not just enough, but very enough!
At this moment, everyone had another reason to respect Shen Bai, and that was his strength.

This reason even surpasses all other reasons and ranks first.

Seeing that no one moved, Shen Bai frowned and asked, "Do you need me to repeat it a second time?"

After these words were spoken, everyone finally reacted.

Fang Tong quickly took people and began to check the surrounding situation.

The disaster ghost has been killed by Shen Bai with one sword, so the disaster caused naturally needs to be checked.

More than ten masters in the unity realm flew into the sky and began to inspect carefully.

Soon, Fang Tong brought everyone back to their original place.

"Reporting to Lord Shen, the disaster has subsided." Fang Tong said.

The turbulent riverbank has returned to calm, the damp air is gradually fading away, and even the dark clouds in the sky have returned to normal.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Magistrate Yu showed a look of relief on his face and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for your help. On behalf of the people of Donglai County, I would like to thank the Tianjiansi for rescuing us."

Although they belong to two different departments and this is the job of the Tiantian Division, County Magistrate Yu is also a veteran in the officialdom and naturally knows how important this thank you is.

Magistrate Yu paused for a moment and continued, "If Lord Shen and the others are free, I will host a banquet at the Donglai County government office. Please rest for a while and enjoy the delicious food of Donglai County."

Since it is a thank you, just a word is naturally not enough. Holding a banquet is the most basic requirement.

But what County Magistrate Yu did not expect was that Shen Bai did not answer him, but looked up at the void not far ahead.

This look left County Magistrate Yu somewhat bewildered.

He was a little confused as to why Lord Shen suddenly stopped talking.

Not only County Magistrate Yu, but also the other members of Division C had the same expression.

Fang Tong asked doubtfully, "Master Shen, is it possible that the disaster hasn't been resolved yet?"

Now is the time to deal with the weirdness, so Fang Tong asked this question.

Shen Bai said without even turning his head: "No, it has nothing to do with the disaster."

Fang Tong's expression was even more puzzled: "Then why does Lord Shen have such an expression?"

Shen Bai's answer just now made Fang Tong even more confused.

Shen Bai said calmly: "Listen, the sound of the wind seems unusual."

Fang Tong was slightly stunned, then he followed Shen Bai's instructions and began to listen to the wind around him.

After a moment, Fang Tong noticed the difference.

"Someone is approaching quickly, and he's quite powerful!" Fang Tong said with a serious look on his face.

The change in the sound of the wind was very subtle, but Fang Tong, as a master in the Void Transformation Realm, could naturally hear it clearly.

Just after Fang Tong finished saying this, dozens of figures fell from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.

Each figure carries a powerful aura that makes people hold their breath.

"All of them are at a high level."

Fang Tong's eyes widened and he shouted, "Everyone, protect Lord Shen!"

These auras were not only powerful, but also carried a terrifying hostility. It was obvious that this group of people were coming for them.

Among the more than ten people, three are in the Void Transformation Realm, and the remaining seven are all in the Unity Realm.

Fang Tong feels that he is under a lot of pressure now.

County Magistrate Yu was sweating profusely: "Why do you let me, a small county magistrate, suffer this kind of pain?"

He had never seen so many people in the Void Transformation Realm in his entire life, and now his eyes were opened.

Even if I die, I will die without regrets.

Of course, he didn't want to die.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you here to take my life?"

The leading man smiled and said, "If you had come to Nanxing Prefecture and just stayed there peacefully, we would have arranged everything you needed. Unfortunately, you insisted on causing trouble. In order to survive, we have no choice but to do this."

Shen Bai suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that you are the evil forces of Nanxing Prefecture?"

The man did not shy away from the question and said bluntly, "That's right, Shen Bai, you must die today. But what I didn't expect was that you actually possess the power to kill people at the Huaxu realm. You can truly be called the best of the young generation throughout history."

Shen Bai pulled out the Frost Moon from his waist and said, "It turns out this disaster was a trap set up specifically for me. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Up to now, Shen Bai has figured out the cause of the incident.

He had just arrived in Nanxing Prefecture and had caused so many troubles, which made these evil forces connected with the Gao family feel fearful.

They are not afraid of those with gilded backgrounds, nor are they afraid of those who are corrupt and greedy. They are only afraid of those who work seriously.

Since you are afraid, you have to find a way to erase yourself from Nanxing Prefecture so that you can live a peaceful life.

This game was set up for him.

Fang Tong gripped his long sword tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Master Shen, you leave first. Even if we die, we will protect Master Shen's safety."

The other members of Division C stepped forward, exuding an aura of being ready to die.

How could the director of the Tiantian Department die here?

Nanxing Prefecture has not recovered its spirit for a long time. They cannot let Shen Bai make any mistakes, otherwise Nanxing Prefecture will fall into darkness again.

Shen Bai said calmly: "Back off."

Fang Tong was slightly stunned, completely confused about what Shen Bai meant.

Among these people, there are three who are at the Void Transformation Realm.

The disasters and monsters just now were nothing in front of them.

But now, Lord Shen actually asked them to withdraw. What did this mean?
Shen Bai slowly stepped forward and said, "You are all the pillars of Nanxing Prefecture. I already know your intentions just now. They are very good, but you shouldn't die here."

After saying this, Fang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Shen is the pillar of Nanxing Prefecture. He must not die here today."

"Did you lose your life because of this?"

Shen Bai asked curiously: "Just them?"

The field fell into silence.

The leading man frowned and said, "It's really ridiculous to say such unrealistic words when you are about to die."

Next to the man, there was a woman in the Huaxu realm, who sneered.

"That sword of yours, with all its various powers bestowed upon it, was dazzling. However, using it with your strength at the Tongmai realm must have consumed a great deal of energy. How many times can you perform this terrifying sword technique?"

The white-haired old man said slowly: "Don't waste any more time talking to him. Kill them all and let the sky of Nanxing Prefecture be shrouded in our darkness once again."

Everyone thought that Shen Bai's sword move was already the limit.

A powerful move like this cannot be used continuously without any consumption.

Otherwise...it's unscientific.

If this were true, how could Emperor Shengwu let Shen Bai go so far alone? I'm afraid he would have protected him like a treasure.

Today, Shen Bai will definitely die.

More than a dozen people from the evil forces surrounded Shen Bai.

County Magistrate Yu gritted his teeth and then took out his brush.

Even though he is weak, he must fight to the death when facing the evil forces.

Behind him are the people of Donglai County.

If he died behind the people and the news got out, his Yu family's family history would leave him with a mark of shame.

The only way to die is to die in battle.

It doesn’t matter if you die, at most it will just be a single page in the family tree. This is also a more special temptation.

Shen Bai looked at the people's high fighting spirit and said slowly, "How do you know that's my ultimate move?"

Everyone present was stunned. They didn't understand what Shen Bai meant.

"You're soft everywhere except your mouth." The man sneered.

Shen Bai shook his head and walked forward with his sword in hand.

With every step he took, Shen Bai left a word.

He only took three steps in total.

"Ultimate move? To me, every move I make is a ultimate move."

"You are like clay chickens and clay dogs before me, like mayflies trying to shake a tree, like the light of a grain of rice."

"Killing you is like slaughtering dogs."

The blood-red sword energy bloomed above the cold moon, turning into a terrifying light that covered everything within sight.

Except for the three people in the Huaxu realm, the rest of the people in the Heyi realm fell to the ground with a thud.

There were bloody holes on their necks, and blood was oozing out.

The wound looked small, but the blood-red sword energy crushed their internal organs and souls, turning them into corpses.

The three Jianghu demons in the Void Transformation Realm broke out in cold sweat and felt a chill on their backs.

They just stopped the blood-red sword energy, but only by stopping it could they feel how terrifying the blood-red sword energy was.

"Is this kid so terrifying?" The white-haired old man was sweating profusely.

A big hand responded to him.

The hand shining with Buddha's light grasped the head of the white-haired old man.

There was murderous intent in Shen Bai's eyes, and behind him was a three-meter-tall golden statue of a Dharmadhatu.

"It's your turn to die..."
