Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 61 The White Giant, Verbal Clash (Please continue reading)
There was nothing behind her—

There was only one demon-hunting warrior standing there!
Is it...

His team suffered another accident, and two more demon hunters died.
Why is it "again"?
hiss!
Liu Sheng gasped and quickly looked away, afraid that she would take a liking to him.

This woman is absolutely, positively, definitely poisonous!
In just over half a month, of the eight demon-hunting warriors he had, only one remained, and the remaining one was pale and had a wandering gaze.

He was clearly seriously injured.

As for the hunters who die and are replenished, then die again and are replenished again—

There are at least one or two hundred.

But she herself was completely unharmed!

Thinking hard.

Liu Sheng hid among the many beast hunters, straining his ears, hoping to eavesdrop on some news, but unfortunately…

The beast hunters present were all completely baffled.

Moreover, because there were many demon-slaying captains and demon-subduing generals present, the atmosphere was oppressive, and no one dared to speak.

In this situation, everyone knows that something big is about to happen, but what exactly is it?
no one knows.

Those who know don't say anything.

Anxiety and unease spread among the crowd.

About half an hour later.

No more hunters entered the yamen, and the gate was immediately closed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, heavy footsteps sounded, like a small mountain moving, approaching from afar.

With each sound, the ground would jolt violently, sending dust and grime billowing up.

Liu Sheng's expression changed, and he felt his blood surging within him, which filled him with horror.

He glanced around and saw that the hunters nearby all looked visibly distressed.

Only the demon-slaying captains at the front remained calm, while the demon-hunting warriors behind them occasionally groaned once or twice before calming down.

The sound of those footsteps instantly revealed the difference in cultivation levels among everyone present!
Liu Sheng's eyes flickered twice, and he quickly let out a muffled groan. The color drained from his face, making him look no different from the beast hunters on either side, or even worse.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a tremendous footstep exploded in everyone's ears, as if an earth dragon were turning over—

The group of beast hunters lost their footing and immediately stumbled and rolled all over the ground like gourds.

Only a dozen or so people seemed to be rooted to the spot, standing firmly without falling.

This included Liu Sheng.

The change happened so fast that there was no time to react, and we could only react instinctively.

For a martial artist, the first reaction to losing their footing is...

Piling!

By the time Liu Sheng realized what was happening and tried to "fall down," it was too late.

A giant had appeared in the arena at some point...

He was over ten feet tall, clad in golden armor, with a solemn face and skin so white it glowed, as translucent as jade.

When a person stands there, it seems as if even the sky has shrunk by several inches.

Shocking, terrifying.

The air seemed to freeze.

The fallen hunters even forgot to get up, standing there dumbfounded.

Liu Sheng's breath hitched, his mouth went dry, and all his senses were screaming warnings.

This is a crushing defeat on a life level, which is beyond human control.

Beyond the true form!

Qi cultivator, or...

Demon!
Something big is about to happen...

Sure enough, the next moment, a cold, hard voice rang in everyone's ears, heavy and unyielding, like two iron ingots clashing together—

"By order of the general, effective immediately, all officers under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Division of Shanyang County, except for Qi Gang's troops who remain in the city, shall immediately enter the mountains with their troops to search for the criminal Wu Song. The search must be swift and thorough. Those who disobey orders will be dealt with according to military law without any leniency."

The general has given orders?

In Shanyang County, and even Yanqing Prefecture, the only person qualified to be called a general is Xie Bao, the Demon-Subduing General.

This means they've discovered their master's whereabouts...

Moreover, the order to enter the mountain immediately indicates that the situation is extremely urgent.

Master, it's dangerous. Liu Sheng was secretly anxious, but his face remained calm.

After the white-skinned giant finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Sheng and the dozen or so beast hunters standing there, then his figure flickered, and golden lotus phantoms appeared beneath his feet before he disappeared.

The other retainers and troops of the Demon-Subduing General also retreated like the tide.

The air inside the courtyard immediately felt more lively.

Liu Sheng, however, became extremely alert. The white-skinned giant's appearance earlier had been intimidating and seemed to be a test, clearly indicating that he had a purpose.

Now it seems...

"I've been targeted."

Liu Sheng's hair swayed, and he suddenly felt more than a dozen gazes fall on him.

They were several demon-slaying captains, and a group of demon-catching warriors behind them.

Surprise, curiosity, doubt, and indifference are just some of the reactions.

"Trouble is coming."

Liu Sheng sighed inwardly and lowered his gaze.

Sure enough, a few breaths later, several figures came up to him and began to recruit him.

Polite people will speak more politely:
"I am a soldier under Captain Song Yuanxiang. The lord has seen your exceptional talent and intends to recruit you into his team. Are you willing?"

Some were arrogant, as if Liu Sheng being favored was the greatest honor imaginable:

"Commander Qian has taken a liking to you, come with me!"

……

Not only Liu Sheng, but also the dozen or so beast hunters who managed to stand firm during the final shock were surrounded and recruited by several demon-hunting warriors.

"Liu Sheng?"

At that moment, a deep voice came.

The demon-hunting warriors in front of him looked surprised and stepped back, revealing a figure—

Xu Qichun!
The eldest of the four Xu brothers was walking slowly towards him, looking at him calmly.

But Liu Sheng, with his many talents, keenly sensed the undercurrents beneath this calm surface…

That was almost tangible resentment and murderous intent!
Because I crippled Xu Laosi?

Or does he already know that I was the one who put the "snake-snake-bewitching powder" into his drinking water that night?

Liu Sheng's heart stirred slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said with admiration:
"Xu Lishi looks good; it seems he has recovered from the grief of losing his wife."

Xu Qichun paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his normal pace, his expression unchanged.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life, and grief is meaningless. I offer this to you, hoping we can both find encouragement."

If a family member suffers a misfortune or passes away in the future, one should grieve in moderation and not act childishly, lest one become a laughingstock.

His words revealed a deep affection and care from a senior to a junior.

Upon hearing this, the demon hunters nearby immediately looked at Liu Sheng with newfound respect.

Unexpectedly, this newcomer has a friendly relationship with Xu Lishi.
I've never heard of that before.

"This is a threat!"

Liu Sheng, being perceptive, understood the threatening meaning behind those words.

Although it's unclear how the Xu family determined that he was the one who did it.

But this isn't a case decided by the government, where evidence is required.

Moreover, even when the government or the Xuanjing Division makes a judgment, there is not always a complete set of witnesses and physical evidence.

Sometimes, doubt is enough to determine life or death.

It seems...

The Xu family is about to be wiped out.

Liu Sheng lowered his eyelids, concealing the sharpness in his eyes, and remained silent.

This made Xu Qichun's seemingly gentle yet deadly punch feel like it landed on empty air, leaving him feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He stepped forward, looked directly at Liu Sheng, and said quietly:

"I heard that your grandmother is nearly sixty years old, quite old, and she died from a cold."

You have a concubine, though she's rustic, it's nice to have a taste of wild game now and then. How about... letting her be my fourth son's foot-washing maid?

How about I offer one tael of silver?

I have good news to share with you all: I have successfully advanced in this round of the recommended PK. Thank you all for your great help!

Next week will be the third round of recommendations. I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you!
