Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Gazing at this figure, who seemed like a god or an immortal, as if the moon goddess had descended, Yan Chixia and the others were shocked, and a look of awe appeared in their eyes, their thoughts churning.

Amidst the crowd, Yan Chixia couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Previously, he had even considered joining forces with this young man, thinking that having such a mysterious figure would greatly increase their chances of winning.

But looking at it now...

What need is there for cooperation?

Such a being is simply not someone he can stand shoulder to shoulder with.

Having lived most of his life, roaming the martial world and slaying countless demons, he had never seen such a person before.

Yan Chixia felt a deep sense of awe.

Ning Caichen subconsciously looked at Daoist Xuanqingzi.

The Taoist priest had once said that this young man's identity was beyond his comprehension, and that he should remember his words, as they might save his life someday. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

This person is actually a deity!

Thinking of this, Ning Caichen felt a surge of excitement and warmth in his chest, a feeling of indescribable exhilaration and awe.

Nie Xiaoqian stood to the side, her eyes clear and filled with awe.

At this time.

Master Xuanqingzi was the first to regain his senses, and quickly bowed in respect, his voice trembling slightly.

"Immortal..."

Looking down at the respectful Xuan Qingzi and the excited Ning Caichen and the others, Su Chen calmly said, "The tree demon's true form has been destroyed by me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia and the others were startled, their eyes showing a look of sudden realization.

So this person just went to eliminate the tree demon's true form?

Before they could say anything, Su Chen said, "The matter of the Tree Demon Granny is settled. You can handle the rest yourselves. If you need anything, you can come to the Zhang family in Nanliu Lane to find me."

After saying that, he glanced at the distance and found that the female ghosts had disappeared, so he didn't bother to look for them anymore.

Then, without looking at Yan Chixia and the others, he turned around and soared into the air, transforming into a streak of bright light, flying towards the outside of Lanruo Temple.

below.

As the figure disappeared into the distance, the moonlight faded, and Lanruo Temple fell back into darkness and silence.

Ning Caichen and the others gazed at the night sky, a sense of inexplicable melancholy rising in their hearts.

Yan Chixia was the first to come to his senses. He grinned and scolded, "Alright, scholar, stop acting like a little girl."

"That person didn't disappear; they're still at the Zhang family's house in Nanliu Lane."

"If we really encounter any insurmountable obstacles, we can always just go and pay them a visit!"

Ning Caichen and the others were taken aback, then suddenly realized.

The slight sense of bewilderment in my heart dissipated somewhat.

……

the other side.

In the darkness of night.

After leaving the gloomy and dilapidated Lanruo Temple, Su Chen did not rush back to the Zhang family in Guobei County.

The night was still deep, and the yin energy between heaven and earth had not yet dissipated, which was the time when demons and ghosts were most active.

With a sudden thought, he decided to follow the lingering yin energy fluctuations around him and head towards a nearby county town, intending to clean up the area along the way.

After a few incense sticks have burned.

The outline of an unfamiliar county town appeared at the end of the night.

Using his senses, Su Chen quickly located a place outside the city where the yin energy was the densest.

Mass grave!

The mounds of earth rose and fell, the weeds were knee-high, and a chilling wind blew in.

A dense aura of resentment, death, and demonic energy churns and swirls here.

As Su Chen slowly stepped into the mass grave, the ghosts and demons lurking in the shadows almost simultaneously sensed something was wrong.

They were shocked and incredulous, and had not yet had a chance to escape.

next moment.

Amidst horrified and horrified gazes, that aloof figure descended with a thunderous roar!

Suppress and refine!

One by one, the ghosts and monsters didn't even have a chance to struggle before they turned into peaches.

Soon, the entire mass grave returned to a deathly silence.

Only the night wind rustled through the withered grass.

The magical power within Su Chen's body was rising at an almost exaggerated speed.

He didn't stop; with a swift movement, he continued his search for ghosts and monsters.

Time slips away silently.

The eastern horizon was gradually turning a pale white.

As the sun rises, its rays pierce the darkness of night and bathe the earth in its light.

Su Chen stopped what he was doing, looked up at the sky, and then, with a slight thought, his gaze fell on the panel.

[Realm: True Person (41%) 4,139 years of cultivation]

"Over four thousand years of cultivation..."

Feeling the immense magical power emanating from his body, Su Chen's eyes brightened slightly.

In a few more days, his magical power and cultivation will reach ten thousand years, and he will have completely transformed!

Thinking of this, his mood lightened a bit.

With a turn of his body, Su Chen flew towards the direction of Guobei County.

When he was a few miles away from the city, he concealed his aura, lowered his body, and used his light-footed skill to fly over the grass, skimming over the ridges and paths, and quietly approached the city.

After a while.

The city wall of Guobei County is now in sight.

With a light step, Su Chen's figure silently leaped into the city without alerting anyone.

In the early morning, the streets of Guobei County gradually come alive.

Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the shouts of vendors echoed throughout the area.

Su Chen casually walked to a breakfast stall on the street and bought a few freshly steamed buns.

Steaming hot, with soft and fluffy dough.

He took a bite, savoring the flavor.

Well, all I can say is that the taste was really just so-so...

While slowly eating his steamed buns, he casually observed the scenery of Guobei County in the early morning.

Su Chen walked slowly along the street toward the Zhang family's residence.

As he ate his steamed buns and casually observed the local customs and culture of Guobei County in the early morning, he strolled slowly toward the Zhang family's residence.

suddenly.

Not far away, the voices of several county residents talking in hushed tones drifted intermittently along the still relatively quiet street in the early morning.

"Sigh, speaking of which, Zhang Shanhai, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Nanliu Lane, is really in a pitiful state."

"Isn't that right? Not long ago, he was out and about when he was ambushed by some thugs from the Black Tiger Gang, who stabbed him to death right there in the street."

"Tsk, that scene... blood was everywhere, and the person died on the spot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

"Alas, the Zhang family is truly finished now. With the death of the patriarch, I'm afraid they won't last much longer."

"Besides, wasn't the eldest son of the Zhang family already insane? Who can keep up this huge family fortune?"

"Yes, yes, the Zhang family's days are numbered..."

Several county residents, dressed in old robes, chatted amongst themselves, their voices filled with both sighs and a touch of indifference born of a life accustomed to death.

Upon hearing their words, Su Chen's expression changed, becoming quite unpleasant.

He wondered if he had misheard.

I only went out for a short while, and this happened?

Just as he was thinking this...

Those villagers from Guobei County also discovered him.

One of them recognized him.

"Isn't this Zhang Xuan, the eldest son of the Zhang family?"

"Uh, what's the eldest son of the Zhang family doing here? Shouldn't he be at the Zhang family residence? Something happened to Zhang Shanhai, the patriarch of the Zhang family..."

"This young master Zhang Xuan is quite pitiful, actually. With the death of the Zhang family patriarch, Zhang Shanhai, he and the rest of the Zhang family are doomed..."

Hearing the murmurs from not far away and feeling the pitying gazes, Su Chen didn't hesitate and immediately quickened his pace, heading towards the Zhang family's residence.
