Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Dusk was falling.

At this moment, Zhou Chen changed his expression again and walked towards a large mansion in the city.

There, wisps of putrid stench seeped into my senses, mingling with a faint stillness.

Tread!

Zhou Chen looked up at the large plaque above the house, which bore two large characters.

"The Chen Residence".

He glanced at the vermilion gate in front of the house, then narrowed the range of his spiritual tracking ability, focusing entirely on the interior of the house before him.

Deep and secluded.

At the gate, two guards arrogantly watched the passersby, and anyone who glanced at them too long would be glared at.

They were guarding the residence of Chen Zhige, the number one genius in the Chen family and even the entire Xingde County. Although the young master spent most of his time traveling and might not even recognize their faces, he still felt a sense of pride.

Within the psychic perception range, only a few defenseless maids were responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the courtyard.

But beneath the surface, the lingering, putrid smell mixed with the earthy aroma lingered for a long time.

If outsiders were to enter for a visit or search, they would not find anything unusual.

"This is it." Zhou Chen's eyes flickered as he looked at the large character "Chen" on the plaque above the house.

The Wusheng Sect is incredibly audacious; their stronghold is located beneath the residence of a young master of the Chen family.

It's just unknown whether the homeowner knew that his house had become a den of iniquity.

Tread!

Zhou Chen walked towards the county government office without turning his head.

At this moment, the night was like a net, covering all the sunlight, leaving only darkness.

"Master, Zhou Wuqing is outside requesting an audience."

Outside Chen Wu's study, a page knocked on the door to announce his arrival.

"Bring him here."

Inside the study, Chen Wu was reading a memorial handed to him by an official below.

The county center of Xingde County is not very large, but if you include the nearly one hundred villages that are not yet in the county, the number of reports from officials of all ranks every day is countless.

Either this village was plagued by bandits, or that village was hit by a flood.

These matters were completely ignored under the previous magistrate, Li Youde.

He would only glance at a village that owed the imperial court taxes.

Chen Wu, however, was different. Even if it was a small matter, as long as it concerned the people's livelihood under his jurisdiction, he would handle it one by one.

With a "creak".

Zhou Chen entered the study, led by his page.

Chen Wu was seen leaning back in his chair, occasionally picking up his pen to make circles and dots on the folded paper.

After finishing reading the document in his hand, he rubbed his eyes.

Even with Chen Wu's Marrow Cleansing Realm strength, he was overwhelmed by the affairs of the county, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

"What, you know things aren't going well, so you've come to ask me for people?" Chen Wu straightened his clothes and looked at Zhou Chen, who had been waiting for a while.

As someone in power, he naturally favored capable subordinates.

However, this young boy in front of me, though he has a special skill, still needs to work on his temperament.

As the magistrate of Xingde County and the head of the Chen family, Chen Wu had the patience to hone another capable and outstanding future for his family.

Zhou Chen looked at Chen Wu calmly and said, "Magistrate, I have found out the stronghold of the Wusheng Sect in the city, but the location is a bit special."

Chen Wu raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Chen with amazement. "The Wusheng Sect is a festering sore on the body of our Great Qian Dynasty. As the lord of a county, I will uproot it no matter where it hides."

He picked up the tea that his page had just brewed and took a sip, without trying to hide it at all.

"It's a house on the west side of the city. Judging from the words on the plaque, it should be the residence of the young master of the Chen family who has established his own residence," Zhou Chen said casually.

"puff--"

Chen Wugang choked on the tea he had just swallowed, spilling it onto the table.

Zhou Chen subtly retreated, avoiding the water mist.

"Is this true?" Chen Wu's eyes flickered, showing some surprise and uncertainty.

As the head of the Chen family, most of the young masters who went out to establish their own residences were his sons.

In the west of the city, only one person had purchased a house there.

That person was none other than Chen Zhige, the prodigy of the Chen family whom he was so proud of.

"Really?" Zhou Chen confirmed.

In an instant, Chen Wu's shocked expression subsided, and upon hearing Zhou Chen's confident tone, he tapped the table.

The next moment, he turned his head towards the shadows behind him and asked, "Uncle Fu, where has Zhige gone lately?"

"They went to Honggou Village outside the city, saying they were going hunting in the mountains," came the aged voice from the shadows.

Zhou Chen looked surprised when he heard the sound.

Although he did not activate his spiritual tracking ability on ordinary days, his spiritual perception was already exceptionally sharp.

The person speaking in the shadows was at most ten feet away, yet he hadn't noticed them.

The telepathic ability quietly activated, revealing a hunched figure behind the bookshelf.

"Zhige is never home. I'm afraid the steward has been bribed. At this moment, some villain is trying to frame my Chen family." Chen Wu's eyes flashed as he looked at Zhou Chen, clearly having already prepared his explanation.

"Now that I have discovered this matter, we cannot let it be treated as a trivial matter or let it go unpunished. Otherwise, if it is exposed in the future, my Chen family will be wiped out in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Chen Wu stood up, reaching a height of nine feet.

"Men, put on your armor!"

As he gave the orders, he looked at Zhou Chen and said, "I have to thank Zhou Wuqing this time. I will gather the city guards and a group of yamen runners later and march straight to the heart of the enemy. You can follow behind me and provide support."

-----------------

Fifteen minutes later.

Outside the county government office, hundreds of soldiers, fully armed and ready for battle, stood in formation.

The Great Qian Dynasty was founded on military strength, and although its officialdom is now extremely corrupt, its army is still capable of fighting.

This is one of the reasons why, despite the dire state of the world, no one dared to rise up in rebellion.

On both sides of the military formation stood many constables and conscripted martial arts school disciples, including even the masters of the Iron Stone and Cold Stream martial arts schools.

At this moment, they were whispering among themselves, speculating about the reasons why Chen Wu had summoned the army into the city.

It should be noted that even when the cannibalistic monsters were rampant and raging, no army was ever summoned to fight in the city.

Chen Wu, dressed in shiny armor and holding a long spear, stood in front of the city guards with a solemn expression.

He swept his eyes across the group of constables and warriors who were still whispering among themselves, and no one dared to make a sound.

Zhou Chen, however, was also wearing a pair of crimson armor given to him by Chen Wu, and stood beside Chen Wu.

"Today, someone impersonating the Wusheng Sect attacked our county constable. An investigation revealed that it was the Li family in the city who were causing trouble."

"According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, attacking a court official is considered treason. You shall immediately join me in exterminating the entire Li family."

Chen Wu raised his spear, mounted his horse, and led the way.

Behind them, the martial arts school disciples and officers were already in an uproar.

"No wonder the Li family disciples in the martial arts school were hastily summoned back earlier; they must have received the news long ago," a martial arts school disciple exclaimed in realization.

Soon, the group headed straight for the west of the city, where, besides Chen Zhige's residence, the ancestral home of the Li family was also located.

Zhou Chen followed beside Chen Wu. When he saw Gao Tian, ​​Yi Lianxing and the others casting questioning glances at him, he shook his head at them.

Seeing this, the two suppressed their curiosity and simply followed the group to the left and right.
