Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Guobei County.

Officer Feng and his men brought Fahai to the outskirts of Guobei County.

The crowd gazed at Guobei County from afar.

In the early morning, a thin mist shrouded the town, making it appear as if it were floating in the fog, its outline hazy.

The city wall is not high, made of old gray bricks. It has been neglected for many years, and the surface is mottled, with some places even covered with moss.

Outside the city, the official roads and fields are crisscrossed, and the soil is hardened by the footsteps of passersby.

Soon, they entered Guobei County.

However, not long after they went inside, Xu Zhen and his group were recognized by some residents of Guobei County.

"Hiss, isn't that Master Xu and Zhao Liuzi from the Black Tiger Gang? They're still alive?"

"What are they doing here, and with a monk in tow?"

The people of Guobei County were surprised and astonished.

They thought Zhao Liuzi and the others had died, but they didn't expect them to still be alive.

Just as they were marveling.

Zhao Liuzi and the others, who were walking along the road and hadn't paid much attention to their words, were momentarily stunned.

What do these guys mean?

Zhao Liuzi quickly pointed to a spot not far away and said fiercely, "Hey you, come here! What do you mean by 'not dead'?"

Upon hearing this, Song Cheng, a pale and emaciated county resident, trembled involuntarily and did not want to go over.

Unfortunately, faced with the gazes of Zhao Liuzi and the others, even if he didn't want to go, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

He quickly explained, "Master Xu, are you unaware of the major incident that happened to the Black Tiger Gang a few days ago?"

"What's the big deal?" Xu Zhen and the others frowned.

Song Chenglian hurriedly explained, "A few days ago..."

He quickly recounted in detail how a member of the Black Tiger Gang had murdered Zhang Shanhai, the patriarch of the Zhang family, and how, subsequently, everyone in the Black Tiger Gang's territory had mysteriously disappeared, and how the person who murdered Zhang Shanhai had also died.

Seeing the surprised and suspicious expressions on Xu Zhen and the others' faces, Song Cheng quickly said, "These past few days, the news has spread throughout Guo Bei County. Everyone is saying that your Black Tiger Gang members didn't just disappear; they were clearly killed by that Young Master Zhang!"

"Moreover, the patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Shanhai, has come back to life. It's being said everywhere that the eldest son of the Zhang family used sorcery to turn the patriarch into a walking corpse, which is how the patriarch came back to life!"

These words were spoken.

Zhao Liuzi, Xu Zhen, and Constable Feng were stunned.

Their faces were filled with shock.

What kind of thing has happened to the Black Tiger Gang recently?

That young master Zhang?!

"Master Xu, thank goodness, thank goodness, we went to find Master Fahai, otherwise..." Zhao Liuzi stammered, his face filled with terror.

Xu Zhen and his companions felt a chill run down their spines, but were also extremely relieved.

If they had stayed in Guobei County, who knows what would have awaited them!

Subconsciously, their gazes all fell upon Master Fahai standing to the side.

"Master Fahai, you must save us!"

Xu Zhen exclaimed in horror, "This monster is utterly lawless and treats human life as nothing! You must punish him severely and bring this monster to justice, otherwise who knows how many more people will be harmed!"

Fahai, who was listening nearby, also had an extremely solemn expression.

"What a monster!"

"Gentlemen, please rest assured, now that I am aware of this matter, I have no reason to stand idly by!"

Whether it's killing dozens of people or playing with the dead, he considers it all unforgivable!

Fahai's eyes flashed coldly, filled with murderous intent towards demons.

Overjoyed to receive Master Fahai's promise, Xu Zhen and his companions relaxed.

At the same time, they couldn't help but look forward to the scene where Master Fahai would subdue that young master Zhang soon.

aside.

Upon hearing their conversation, Song Cheng and the other residents of Guobei County couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

"Master Fahai?"

"Is this master the expert you invited, Mr. Xu?"

"Fahai? I think I've heard of him. He's a highly respected master at Jinshan Temple, said to possess great magical powers!"

As the discussion unfolded, the people of Guobei County couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and delight.

During this time, they had been praying that a master would appear soon to subdue this young master!

I didn't expect it to appear so quickly?

Guobei County is saved!

They no longer have to live in fear!

They were overjoyed.

A group of villagers from Guobei County followed Fahai and his men from a distance, ready to join in the fun.

Seeing this group of people, the unsuspecting residents of Guobei County were also drawn in. After asking some questions, they immediately followed behind.

As the news spread, more and more people from Guobei County followed suit.

They marched in a large, imposing group toward the Zhang family residence in Nanliu Lane.

Soon, County Magistrate Wang Shenzhi, Coroner Wen Zhou, and others also received the news.

Upon learning that Master Fahai had arrived and was preparing to go to the Zhang family to subdue the eldest son of the Zhang family, they also quietly came to the vicinity and watched Master Fahai and his party from afar.

soon.

Zhang Family Residence.

When the gatekeepers, Old Man Wang and Wang An, saw Xu Zhen and his group of several hundred people approaching in a grand procession, they were immediately taken aback.

"What are you doing here?"

Old Wang asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Liuzi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, this is Master Fahai. Your Zhang family's eldest son can't escape now. Get out of my way! If you obstruct Master Fahai's demon-subduing, you deserve to die!"

Old Man Wang and his companion were startled. Looking at the distinguished Master Fahai in the crowd, their expressions became complicated.

They were naturally aware of the recent rumors.

For a moment, their feelings were quite complicated as they faced Master Fahai and the others who had come to subdue the demon.

"It seems the young master is doomed this time..."

Old Wang sighed as he thought to himself.

Faced with the menacing Zhao Liuzi and his group, they had no choice but to step aside.

Seeing Xu Zhen and his group rushing into the Zhang family's house, Fahai frowned but said nothing and followed them in.

Soon, Zhang Xing, who was at the Zhang family's house, noticed their figures.

Who are you?

"What are you doing at my Zhang family's house?!"

He was utterly astonished.

A chorus of voices arose.

"It's Zhang Xing, the young master of the Zhang family, the younger brother of the eldest son of the Zhang family!"

"Oh, it's him?"

"Master Fahai, quickly take a look and see if this star is a demon!"

Xu Zhen and others, along with the residents of Guobei County, were discussing the matter extensively.

Zhang Xing's expression changed when he learned of their purpose.

At first, he was jealous of his older brother.

His elder brother, who was as bright as the sun, had clearly fallen into the mud, yet he was still lucky enough to be noticed by an immortal with boundless magical power and receive the other party's favor.

He begged the immortal so desperately that the immortal took pity on him and brought his father back to life.

How could my brother be so lucky?

That was his original thought, until he heard the rumors outside, and he was immediately filled with horror, fear and dread.

Now, looking at Master Fahai and Xu Zhen and the others in front of him, he couldn't help but think, "Could it be that my elder brother really is a demon?"

"And my father..."

Zhang Xing's eyes were complicated.
