Chapter 52 Identity of the Man Behind the Scenes

Captain Zheng was especially troubled because of the sword energy. His movements slowed down a bit and he was almost knocked to the ground by the two fox demons.

Fortunately, Captain Zheng was experienced and turned the situation around, taking a few steps back and adopting a defensive stance.

But the shock in his eyes didn't change at all, instead it grew stronger.

At this moment, Shen Bai's figure and the mysterious man who appeared by the Tianhe River overlapped with each other, becoming more and more alike.

"Shopkeeper Shen, are you the master by the river that day?" Captain Zheng couldn't help but shout, and quickly blocked the fox demon's attack.

He felt as if his brain wasn't enough.

Originally, in his eyes, Shen Bai was an ordinary person who just had a good relationship with the constables in the yamen.

But since when did Shen Bai have such strength?
It took Shen Bai a lot of effort to deal with the strange fox demons, but he killed several of them with just a few swords.

Simply unbelievable.

And judging from the situation, it seems that he had to expose his identity out of necessity.

Captain Zheng couldn't understand why. If he had such ability, he would have let everyone know long ago.

How did Shen Bai endure all these years?

Of course, even though he didn't understand, the situation was critical, so Captain Zheng didn't say anything more. He just kept observing Shen Bai's movements out of the corner of his eye.

Not only Captain Zheng, but also the other detectives looked like this.

Especially when he saw the sword energy in Shen Bai's hand, he looked terrified.

They could feel that Shen Bai was emitting a murderous aura at this moment. This murderous aura was not pretended, but was revealed because of the blood on his hands.

"He's more powerful than Captain Zheng."

An idea emerged in the minds of many detectives.

Shen Bai seemed to be accustomed to this. He swung the sword in his hand one after another, and in an instant he brought up countless sword energies.

The sword energy becomes a thread that can be freely retracted and released. This is the special effect after the Blood Sword Dance reaches the fourth level.

The sword technique surged along with the sword energy, and under this sword energy, the darkness lost its terrifying feeling.

In the flash of light, one fox demon after another was mysteriously pierced by the sword energy. They lay on the ground unable to move, lost their breath, and turned into disgusting black smoke.

Shen Bai was like a ruthless killer, drawing his sword with a calm expression. What was especially special was that Shen Bai did not move a single step at this moment, but just waved the blood-red sword energy to kill the fox demon strangely.

This scene made the detectives even more frightened.

Some constables even had special ideas.

"Luckily, he and Zhou Qing have a good relationship, and we usually treat each other with courtesy. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have suffered today."

"Zhou Qing has such a good friend, but this guy never said anything about it. He's really good at hiding it."

"I was saying that Zhou Qing is a constable from the government office and the most capable among us. How could he possibly make friends with ordinary people without any strength? Now it seems that this Shopkeeper Shen is the real master."

All kinds of thoughts were growing in the minds of the detectives, and they looked at Shen Bai with a hint of awe.

At this moment, only the two fox demons that Captain Zheng was fighting against had not been eliminated.

Captain Zheng is a master of the Three Treasures Realm. With the appearance of Shen Bai, he no longer has any worries and his swordsmanship becomes more and more sharp.

The two fox demons also had strange knife wounds on their bodies.

Seeing this, Shen Bai took two steps forward and then stabbed out with two swords.

The blood-red sword energy burst out, turning the two fox demons into hedgehogs.

In the blink of an eye, all ten fox demons died mysteriously.

The ten evil spirits penetrated into Shen Bai's body and disappeared.

"Combining the two strands from before, I now have a full twelve strands of evil spirits, which is more than enough."

The corners of Shen Bai's mouth rose slightly, and the joy in his heart was hard to suppress.

He now has enough evil spirit, but he lacks the magical power of strange things and qualitative changes, which is equivalent to having sufficient food and supplies on his back.

The situation on the battlefield has been completely reversed because of Shen Bai's joining.

Captain Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Shen Bai, but they were speechless. He didn't know how to start, because talking to Shen Bai now seemed a little restrained.

He was an ordinary person before, but now he is a cultivator, and an extremely powerful one at that. It is difficult for Captain Zheng to not be restrained.

Shen Bai didn't care and said, "It's pretty much what you think. I'm also a cultivator. I don't want to give any unnecessary explanations, but the situation is critical now. It's better to go back and find out the clues behind it."

Captain Zheng nodded.

The current situation is indeed special and there is no time to chat more.

Everyone began to search the village, but found nothing extra, so they had to rush back to Shengyun County with the letter.

Nothing happened along the way, except that Zhang Chaofeng was in a low mood.

After all, the entire village was robbed, and his wife also died in the village, so Zhang Chaofeng's situation was normal.

Seeing this, Shen Bai could only pat Zhang Chaofeng on the shoulder and comfort him with a few words.

"I know this world is tough. Boss, you don't need to comfort me. All we can do is adapt."

Zhang Chaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so capable. I really misjudged him before."

Shen Bai shook his head and said nothing.

……

Shengyun County.

The journey was uneventful.

After returning, Shen Bai planned to go back to the pawnshop.

Of course, you still have to say it if necessary.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "The other party's situation is very mysterious. The only clue is that the person behind this is from Shengyun County. There are no other clues."

Captain Zheng said, "I plan to look up the county history and read about Shengyun County's past history. Perhaps I'll find something useful."

Shen Bai nodded.

Now, this is the only way.

He thought for a moment and continued, "If you have any news, please ask Zhou Qing to come to me so I can come up with a plan."

Captain Zheng agreed and was about to say something, but he saw that Shen Bai was already planning to leave.

There are too many masters and people with strange personalities in this world. Captain Zheng has seen them all during his years of wandering around the world, so he did not stop Shen Bai.

After Shen Bai turned around and left, he took Zhang Chaofeng and Qin Shuang and walked towards the pawnshop.

Nothing happened along the way.

After returning to the pawnshop, Shen Bai closed the door and said to Qin Shuang.

"Go to the house and rest first. You are all tired today."

Qin Shuang looked around, nodded obediently, and returned to Shen Bai's room.

At this moment, the room was dim, and only Shen Bai and Zhang Chaofeng were looking at each other in the room.

Zhang Chaofeng said, "Boss, I'm a little tired today and want to rest early."

Now, Zhang Chaofeng has suffered such a disaster, his wife has died, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, so it is right for him to want to rest.

Shen Bai didn't say anything, but kept his eyes on Zhang Chaofeng's left hand.

There is a bronze ring on the middle finger of Zhang Chaofeng's left hand.

As if he had noticed Shen Bai's gaze, Zhang Chaofeng subconsciously looked at the ring and said curiously.

"Shopkeeper, what do you think this ring means?"

Shen Bai raised his head and said with a smile, "Can strange creatures conceal their own aura?"

Zhang Chaofeng was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter and clapped his hands: "How did you find out?"
