Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

At this time.

Amidst the fearful yet awe-inspiring gazes of the people of Guobei County, Su Chen seemed to sense something.

His gaze lowered slightly, slowly passing over the crowd, and landed on the shadowy outermost edge of the Zhang family mansion.

Outside the crowd, a figure kneeling on the ground trembled almost imperceptibly.

In that instant, he felt as if he were being watched by the heavens.

Wang Shenzhi, the magistrate of Guobei County, trembled.

He was around forty years old, not very tall, with a fair complexion and a neatly trimmed short beard. At that moment, he was looking down, deliberately hiding himself behind the crowd.

Unfortunately, while Zhao Liuzi and the other two were wailing, he whispered some words, which Su Chen heard clearly.

From those murmured words, it was clear that Zhao Liuzi and the other two had some connection with him.

Judging from what Zhang Shanhai, the father, had said before, the relationship between Magistrate Wang Shenzhi and the Black Tiger Gang was indeed unclear.

It is estimated that the Black Tiger Gang is a tool of Magistrate Wang Shenzhi. They play the good cop and the bad cop, controlling Guo Bei County both openly and secretly.

Thinking of this, Su Chen didn't bother to think any further. He simply sent the county magistrate, Wang Shenzhi, a "Flower Blooms in an Instant" attack.

In an instant, Wang Shenzhi, who was kneeling at the back of the crowd, suddenly froze.

He lowered his head stiffly.

A beautiful pale red flower appeared on the chest of his official robe.

The petals are crystal clear, their color resembling the setting sun.

Wang Shenzhi's pupils suddenly dilated.

He instantly understood what it meant.

"Master Zhang!"

He suddenly looked up, his voice suddenly becoming sharp, completely losing his usual official demeanor.

"Master Zhang!" Magistrate Wang Shenzhi exclaimed in horror, "Zhao Liuzi and the others have nothing to do with me! I know nothing about them!"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, you cannot kill me, kill me..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The flowers are in full bloom.

His vital energy and soul were being frantically drained away, and his face visibly withered.

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

Zhang Shanhai, Xu Shi, and the people of Guobei County looked in the direction of the sound, and someone immediately cried out.

"It's the county magistrate!"

"He...he has flowers on him too?"

"Even immortals are going to kill county magistrates?!"

Everyone turned pale and were utterly shocked.

A county magistrate, an official appointed by the imperial court, was no different from the likes of Zhao Liuzi in the eyes of this Zhang family immortal, and was killed without hesitation?

Seeing this, Fahai frowned, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Benefactor, he is, after all, an official appointed by the imperial court..."

Su Chen didn't even blink.

In just a few breaths.

Wang Shenzhi's screams abruptly stopped.

His body quickly dried up and collapsed, then turned into ashes like dust eroded by the wind, quietly scattering on the ground.

He met the same fate as Zhao Liuzi and the others!

Inside and outside the Zhang family residence.

A deathly silence fell instantly.

Even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.

Fahai frowned and said, "Your bloodlust is too strong."

Su Chen then glanced at him sideways, his tone indifferent, "There's no need for Master Fahai to trouble himself with that. If there's nothing else, Master Fahai, please return."

Fahai gave him a deep look, then turned and walked out of the Zhang family compound.

There's no point in staying here any longer.

Of course, although he left the Zhang family, he was not planning to leave Guobei County for the time being.

He planned to stay here and see what the eldest son of the Zhang family was going to do!

If the eldest son of the Zhang family continues to indiscriminately kill innocent people and disregard human life, he will risk his life to seek justice for the people of Guobei County!

Even so, he had absolutely no chance of winning against this young master Zhang who was about to become an immortal.

besides……

Fahai looked up at the sky.

He was naturally aware that the dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had made breakthroughs extremely difficult.

"This eldest son of the Zhang family is truly a prodigy. How could he cultivate to the point of ascension to immortality even when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was collapsing?"

Fahai found it unbelievable.

What an extraordinary talent!

He was the most qualified person he had ever seen!

Unfortunately, this eldest son of the Zhang family has gone astray!

Fahai felt a pang of regret and murmured, "When Young Master Zhang ascends to immortality, he may encounter calamities..."

He could vaguely sense that the world was now suppressing and preventing the birth of immortals. When this young master Zhang made a complete breakthrough, the world would surely send down many obstacles!

Especially considering that this young master is so bloodthirsty and entangled in worldly affairs...

"What a pity..." Fahai felt regretful.

He had a premonition that this young master Zhang would not survive the tribulation of ascension to immortality.

Staying in Guobei County, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the final fate of this exceptionally talented young master Zhang, and his downfall.

With his thoughts in mind, Fahai left the Zhang family residence.

The Zhang family residence fell into silence once again.

At this moment, Zhang Shanhai, the father, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Xuan'er, Master Fahai said that you have achieved perfect cultivation and will soon ascend to heaven in broad daylight, becoming an immortal. Is this true?"

The words were spoken.

The scene became even quieter, and all eyes were focused on the young immortal in the courtyard.

After glancing at his anxious father Zhang Shanhai and the others, Su Chen remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the expressions of the father, Zhang Shanhai, the mother, Xu, Xiao Yao, and others changed.

Zhang Xing's expression also became complicated.

With a heavy heart, Zhang Shanhai asked reluctantly, "Xuan'er, are you leaving? Going to heaven?"

Su Chen nodded, then shook his head. "I will indeed ascend to immortality in a few days, but I don't know the specifics of what will happen then."

These words were spoken.

Zhang Shanhai and the Xu family felt both reluctant and proud.

"Xuan'er..." Madam Xu opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanhai already guessed what she was going to say. He frowned and said, "Madam, please be quiet. We cannot interfere with Xuan'er. Xuan'er is destined to become an immortal in heaven. How can we let him stay here because of us?"

"It's already incredibly lucky for our family to have a celestial being like this; we can't stop Xuan'er!"

Madam Xu pursed her lips and nodded, ultimately suppressing the words she was about to say.

She understood these principles, but how could she suppress the reluctance in her heart?

Su Chen looked at them, and a sigh rose in his heart.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

If that day ever comes, then give it a try.

If not...

That must be fate.

Beside him, Zhang Xing lowered his eyes, his mind churning with a mix of jealousy, resentment, and other complex emotions, which ultimately coalesced into an unspeakable silence.

The courtyard fell silent again.

Su Chen glanced at everyone and said, "Father, the matter is settled. I'll go back to the east wing now."

Zhang Shanhai and the others nodded quickly.

Su Chen turned around and slowly left the Zhang family residence.

As his figure disappeared into the distance, the heavy pressure that had been weighing on everyone's hearts seemed to dissipate as well.

The air seemed to start flowing again.

Many people let out a long breath, and their tense bodies finally relaxed.

The immortal from the Zhang family has finally departed!
