Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chen Hengyi was waiting for the Five Witches' army to return, and during the wait, the Ren family did not cause any trouble.

But then a Taoist priest suddenly arrived.

It was none other than the Four-Eyed Taoist!

Chen Hengyi was also somewhat surprised, because according to the original plot, the Four-Eyed Taoist should have arrived a little later.

Will the butterfly effect of his actions in Renjia Town also affect him?

The Four-Eyed Taoist only glanced at Chen Hengyi before ignoring him and approaching Uncle Nine.

He first bowed and said, "Senior brother, I had a premonition while transporting corpses last night, and I discovered that something had happened to you, so I came to help you!"

Seeing Uncle Nine's posture, Four-Eyed Taoist asked in confusion, "What happened to Senior Brother? Why do you need to borrow Master's troops?"

"Something did happen, but with your help now, things will be a bit easier." Then Uncle Nine introduced Chen Hengyi to Si Mu.

However, he did not mention the matter of the patriarch bestowing the Dharma.

Then, he briefly introduced what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Si Mu's eyes widened immediately.

He looked Chen Hengyi in the eye and couldn't help but praise him, "Truly, heroes emerge in times of chaos. I hadn't even completed my apprenticeship when I was your age, yet you've managed to travel all over the country and accomplish such great things amidst this war and turmoil."

As he spoke, he repeatedly praised, "I was quite proud of my Ah Le, who was a bit mischievous but also quite stable, but compared to you, he's nothing special."

Chen Hengyi was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he said, "As the saying goes, one should draw one's sword to help when one sees injustice. If you, as a leading figure of Maoshan, were to discover this, you certainly wouldn't stand idly by..."

"I just did what everyone would do."

Upon hearing this, both Si Mu and Uncle Jiu simply smiled.

Not long after, the rampant soldiers returned.

A cold wind blew under the blazing sun, and there was a blank booklet in front of Uncle Nine.

At this moment, the booklet began to flip through rapidly, revealing text on it, listing the intelligence that the soldiers had gathered.

Before long, everything returned to calm.

Uncle Nine threw another joss paper, which turned to ashes in mid-air and was obtained by the barbarians.

Uncle Nine then did not put away the altar, but simply picked up the booklet and began to examine it.

He glanced at it briefly, and his expression immediately turned grim.

Chen Hengyi took the booklet and flipped through it casually.

"Ha, those ghosts didn't actually spout any nonsense!"

Last night, although Chen Hengyi heard the ghosts plead their cases, he was also worried that they were telling a lot of nonsense and hiding something.

But unexpectedly, those wronged souls did not lie.

If there are discrepancies, it's because the victims' perspectives are different, and the soldiers' views are different, resulting in slight differences in the intelligence.

Snapped!

Chen Hengyi closed the booklet and glanced at the sky.

It was only past noon, and there was still some time before evening.

Chen Hengyi handed the booklet to Master Simu, who flipped through it, his expression growing increasingly grim: "This isn't a local tyrant, he's a living Yama!"

Uncle Nine paced before the altar, then suddenly stopped: "Now that the rampant soldiers have been verified, we should now..."

Chen Hengyi rubbed his temples. He hadn't slept a wink all night, and he didn't have any cultivation techniques.

Although there was no physical damage, I was mentally exhausted.

"Uncle Jiu, shall I take a nap first?"

.......

The night was as dark as ink, and dark clouds obscured the moonlight.

"The spies have discovered that Ren Zhi is hiding his mistress in a secluded villa in the west of the city tonight. It's the perfect time to make our move."

Under the cover of night, Chen Hengyi sneaked to the Ren family's villa. Inside the high brick walls, the sounds of string and wind instruments and the clinking of cups echoed one after another.

Chen Hengyi looked into the room, where the candlelight flickered, casting two figures, one fat and one thin.

"Hehe, Little Shui Shui, let me tell you, I ate that foreign stuff from the provincial capital today, and now I'm as good as dead!"

"Hmph, you said the same thing last time."

"Last time was..."

Chen Hengyi frowned, shook his head, and decided he didn't want to eavesdrop anymore.

After a quick scan, there were no guards at all.

"Ha, that's really bold."

Without further hesitation, Chen Hengyi went straight to the door.

Lift your foot.

Bang!

The bolt burst open, and the door swung wide open.

Then Chen Hengyi saw the two fleshy worms on the bed freeze.

"What are you trying to do? This is Renjia Town, are you looking for death?!" Ren Zhi, who was covered in fat, actually started with a threat.

At this moment, the woman snapped out of her daze and tried to scream.

But Chen Hengyi had a wealth of experience in film and television. To avoid the annoying noise, he spoke first: "Shut up if you don't want to die."

Chen Hengyi sneered and pulled out his Mauser pistol.

thump!

Ren Zhi quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hero, spare my life! Whatever you need, just say so. My brother is Ren Fa, the town mayor. He can do anything you ask!"

Chen Hengyi looked Ren Zhi up and down, then suddenly asked, "Do you still remember Liang Cailing?"

"What?" Ren Zhi's fat twitched, his eyes darting around rapidly. The next second, he hurriedly said, "I remember, I remember, of course I remember!"

"It's all my fault, I deserve to die! Please spare my life, I'll go apologize to her tomorrow!"

"You want to apologize to her?"

"Yes, I did something wrong, and I definitely need to apologize."

Chen Hengyi laughed, and Ren Zhi laughed too.

The former sneered while the latter fawned.

"It seems you don't remember at all, so I shouldn't have wasted my breath talking to you."

Bang bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out amidst screams.

Meanwhile, at the Ren family residence.

Ren Fa was forced to retreat repeatedly by a group of zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes, his face pale as if he had been scared out of his wits.

In the courtyard outside, some servants lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious.

"I don't know when I offended this Taoist priest, please be lenient!"

Standing at a safe distance, Si Mu asked, "What happened to the feng shui master whose auspicious burial site was taken away twenty years ago?"

"If I said that, would I live?"

"Forget it, you should just die."

Si Mu immediately shook his head upon hearing this, and then quickly rang the bell.

Ring ring ring~

Ren Fa was cornered, and his pants became wet as he shook them. He then let out a desperate wail.

He screamed in despair, "He's dead! He's definitely dead!!"

"No, no, no, don't come any closer!"

Ring ring ring~

Soon, Ren Fa was overwhelmed by the horde of zombies.

Meanwhile, Uncle Jiu used Maoshan talismans to enter and leave the homes of local gentry in Renjia Town.

Under the cover of night, he came to a bedside where a lean old man was fast asleep.

Uncle Nine's face was as calm as water. He simply took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the old man's forehead.

"Seventh Master, you have to come with me..."

That night, Renjia Town was far from peaceful.

Many people have difficulty falling asleep.

In the blink of an eye, the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Some early risers went to the market to buy vegetables.

But the entrance to the market had changed a little.

The small stalls that used to occupy spaces are gone, and the entrance area is much more spacious now.

Most importantly, there was a huge, dense crowd of people kneeling there!

Someone went closer to take a look and was immediately startled.

"Why is Master Ren kneeling here?"

Ren Fa was kneeling on a puddle of sewage, his head bowed, his face covered in bruises. He was swaying unsteadily.

A drop of blood between his brows left him in a semi-conscious state.

Behind Ren Fa was Ren Zhi, who was bleeding from gunshot wounds to his limbs and had a bruised and swollen face.

Chen Hengyi didn't kill him last night, as that would have been too lenient. He just broke his arms and legs and gave him a beating to vent his anger.

Behind the two were some members of the Ren family. There were other members of the Ren family, but they were relatively few in number.

It's not that everyone else is a good person; it's just that most of them have been ostracized by the Ren family. Many people don't have enough power and wealth, and the evil deeds they've committed don't even qualify them to kneel here!

Soon, more and more people gathered.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Ren Zhi's obese body trembled like a leaf, soaked in cold sweat. Uncle Jiu's soul-suppressing spell rendered him speechless, but he could clearly hear the curses and spittle of the people around him.

"This second master of the Ren family has finally met his end!" The old woman selling tofu crumpled the vegetable leaves in her hand and smashed them hard against Ren Zhi's bloody leg.

At this moment, Chen Hengyi calmly walked out from the crowd, holding a bronze gong in his hand.

He knocked.

when!

The sound of the gong instantly pierced through the crowd and spread to the surrounding area, drowning out the noise and chatter.

As the crowd fell silent, Chen Hengyi cupped his hands in greeting and then spoke loudly.
