The white-quality Tier 2 Rat Demon corpse provides a strength boost of 1000 jin, which is the same level as the corpses of the Fox Demon and Gray Five.

The enhanced blue-quality physique results in a significantly different increase in strength.

The enhanced strength of the two brothers, Gray Three and Gray Four, both reached 3000 jin, almost comparable to the strength enhancement brought by Gray Two.

"His single-arm strength has reached 63000 jin (36,000 catties)."

Mu Yang clenched his fist, then drew his long sword from his waist and brandished it a few times in the courtyard.

A few days ago, when he first got the knife, it was a bit clumsy to wield, but now, it's almost as if he has nothing in his hand.

"It's too light; we need to get a heavier weapon."

The Imperial Feather Broadsword, weighing only a little over 300 jin, is almost equivalent to an ordinary adult male wielding a slender willow branch for Mu Yang, whose single-arm strength has reached 63000 jin. It is so light that it can be ignored.

Unfortunately, the county government's armory had limited resources, so even if he wanted to change it, he couldn't.

We'll have to wait until we get to the county town to figure it out.

"I wonder what good stuff the Wang family has..."

After muttering something softly, Mu Yang put two of the first-tier demon corpses into the cellar, casually picked up the remaining first-tier demon corpse, and looked into the distance.

The night was as dark as ink, and a cool breeze blew across the hem of his dark robes. Suddenly, a chilling murderous aura rose in the courtyard.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

It's time to settle accounts with the Wang family!

..................

Inside the study of the Wang family mansion.

Although it was dark at night, the study was as bright as day under the glow of the lamps.

Tung oil, which ordinary people would be reluctant to use, would not even appear in Wang Rudong's study.

His study was filled with the finest mutton fat and beeswax, which also carried a faint, elegant fragrance.

But at this moment, in this study where daily expenses are extremely high, Wang Rudong showed no intention of enjoying himself. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of solemnity.

"Are you sure? Was the Yellow Wind Monster really among the dead rat demons?" Wang Rudong's voice was hoarse, even carrying a hint of disbelief.

So, the Yellow Wind Monster, whom he both loved and hated and feared for so long, died just like that?

Even now, he still feels a sense of unreality.

"Yes...yes, sir, it's absolutely true!" Wang Fu said in a trembling voice, "That afternoon, almost all the guards on duty at the city gate and the vendors around there saw wooden carts full of demon corpses, piled up one after another, with the head of the Yellow Wind Monster on top!"

"Moreover, according to the vendors at the city gate, all these demon corpses were killed by Mu Yang alone!"

After saying that, Wang Fu couldn't help but tremble.

As the Wang family's steward and Wang Rudong's confidant, he knew all too well the relationship between Mu Yang and his family.

From Gray Nine and Gray Five to Gray Two's attack and the Rat Demon's massacre of the village, almost everything was related to the Wang family.

Fortunately, the Wang family acted discreetly and didn't leave any evidence to the outside world. Otherwise, if they had been targeted by this ruthless person, the Wang family would have been in serious trouble!

"Killed by one person, killed by one person..."

Wang Rudong closed his eyes slightly and murmured softly.

He, who was usually quite shrewd and never showed his emotions, was now unable to suppress the horror in his heart.

He could understand the killing of Huang Feng Laoguai's descendants, but he had personally witnessed Huang Feng Laoguai's strength. His Demonic Blood Wind technique was unmatched by anyone other than a fourth-level martial artist.

How did a rookie constable, who hadn't even grown any hair yet, manage to do that?

More importantly, with the death of Old Monster Huang Feng, he lost a stable source of blood pills, and his cultivation of demon blood external techniques could no longer continue.

Breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Condensation Realm seems even more distant!

"Master, what... what should we do now?" Wang Fu asked cautiously.

Wang Rudong took a deep breath and forced himself to focus on the present moment.

Huang Feng is dead, so there's no way to get the Blood Pill for the time being. The most urgent thing is to ensure that he can contact Huang Feng and that there are no mistakes in delivering the message.

Otherwise, if that kid gets hold of something against them, the Wang family will probably suffer a huge loss.

It might even give Zhou Heng an opportunity, causing the Wang family's century-old foundation to be destroyed in an instant.

Wang Rudong pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order: from now on, everyone in the Wang family must behave themselves and not cause trouble."

As he spoke, Wang Rudong's eyes flashed with a crimson light, and a faint black-red aura of blood surged around him: "Also, get rid of everyone who knew about Huangfeng Mountain! This matter must not be leaked even a little bit."

all?

Wang Fu's heart skipped a beat.

Those are all elites whom the Wang family trusts.

But seeing his master's terrifying, predatory appearance, he dared not object and immediately bowed in agreement.

"Alright, go down. Try to finish this quickly." Wang Rudong seemed to realize that he was losing control of his emotions, so he slowly restrained the surging blood energy and waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Fu nodded quickly.

Just then.

"Wang Rudong, get out here, you foreman!!"

A deafening roar erupted from outside.

A crimson glint flashed in Wang Rudong's eyes, and the bloodlust he had just suppressed surged up again.

In Qingxi County, someone actually dared to break into Wang's house in the middle of the night and even called him, the head of the Wang family, by his full name.

They're really asking for trouble!

Has the county forgotten his former fame because he hasn't made a move for so many years?

He was in a bad mood, so he took it out on this hothead!

..................

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Wang family mansion.

"Who dares to bark so arrogantly before the gates of my Wang family!"

A loud roar erupted, and a muscular man stepped out from the vermilion gate.

His name is Wang Shijun, the eldest son of the main branch of the Wang family, the biological son of Wang Rudong, and also the most talented young person in the Wang family.

He was barely over thirty when he broke through the Bone and Tendon Realm and began to nourish his blood and marrow, reaching the early stage of the Blood and Marrow Realm.

Wang Shijun stepped out of the door, followed by five or six servants of the Wang family.

They each wielded black and gold iron rods, looking fierce and menacing.

Judging from their aura, they were almost all first-level flesh and skin realm martial artists who had entered the next stage.

The strength of a single arm is almost certainly no less than 500 pounds.

They were all elites of the Wang family.

"A constable?"

Wang Shijun looked at the person who had spoken. He was a tall and robust man dressed in a black outfit with a copper belt buckle around his waist. He had a angular face and a handsome and heroic appearance.

At this moment, his left hand rested on the hilt of a long, broadsword at his waist, while his right hand held a blood-soaked rat demon corpse.

It was none other than Mu Yang, who had just left his own courtyard.

"Who are you, and why are you making such a racket in front of my Wang family's gate in the middle of the night!"

Seemingly because of the rat demon's corpse, Wang Shijun did not rush to order his servants to take action. Instead, he frowned slightly and questioned them sternly.

These days, anyone who can kill demons is quite powerful.

He couldn't act recklessly; if he caused trouble for his father, his position as head of the family might be at risk.

Who am I?

Mu Yang scoffed, tossed the demon corpse in his hand in front of Wang Shijun, and demanded in a resounding voice:

"Your Wang family colluded with the rat demon, wreaking havoc in the village and even plotting to harm an official of the imperial court. If it weren't for my strength, this day next year would likely be my death anniversary! How dare you question me! You are truly shameless scoundrels!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shijun's expression changed drastically.

Colluding with demons is a crime punishable by the extermination of one's entire clan.

"A mere constable dares to presume to claim to be an official of the imperial court, spouting nonsense and framing my Wang family! Guards, get him!" Wang Shijun immediately roared.

Seeing Wang Shijun give the order to act, Mu Yang did not hesitate. He gripped the hilt of his sword and drew it directly from its sheath.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

As long as the Wang family makes a move, he can take the opportunity to legitimately storm into the Wang family mansion, not only to take revenge but also to find evidence of their collusion with demons.

If we can find it, then everyone will be happy.

Colluding with demons is a crime punishable by the extermination of one's entire clan.

Even if it were just a "mistaken" killing of a few Wang family servants, or even if the entire Wang family were killed, it would still be legal, compliant, and a legitimate enforcement of the law.

It doesn't matter if he can't be found. At worst, he's wrongly accusing an innocent person. He'll be fined three taels of silver as a warning.

The rest?

On the surface, Zhou Heng was on his side, and at most, he would be fined a little bit of his monthly salary.

Privately, the Wang family can't beat him, so what can they do to him?
