Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 18
As night fell and the lights came on, the entire county was enveloped in a lively atmosphere of feasting and feasting.

On the grotesque street, there were still many people flowing. Since the county magistrate held a banquet for concubines, there was also a big fair in the county town, and everyone was celebrating the big day.

However, at this moment, it was pitch black outside the county seat. In the Xuanling River not far from the county seat, there were inexplicably large waves on the originally calm water surface. Something seemed to be moving in the dark river.

. . . . . .

At the same time, Shen Zhirui and his second elder brother Shen Zhiyuan were wandering around on the bustling and bustling streets in the county town, strolling from one shop to another with great enjoyment.

Since Shen Zhirui was going back to the family with the patriarch and the others the day after tomorrow, he specially took advantage of today's big gathering to prepare some things, many of which were gifts for other brothers and sisters.

However, just when everyone was immersed in this lively atmosphere, a loud noise like a landslide suddenly sounded from outside the county seat.

Shen Zhirui suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be shaking violently, and then he heard loud roars coming from outside the city.

At the same time, the alarm bell on the city tower was rang frantically, and the hasty bell sound spread throughout the city in an instant.

The next moment, a bright aura shot up directly from the county government office, and stood above the county seat.

"Get up!"

I saw that Lin Zhengsheng sacrificed a simple array plate from his hand, and then pinched out several complicated seals on this array plate.

Accompanied by his loud shout, a blue light curtain appeared from the surrounding walls, and soon enveloped the entire city.

"Everyone in the city listen to the county magistrate, and immediately board the city wall to help the county magistrate resist the attack of monsters."

Lin Zhengsheng's majestic voice exploded in everyone's ears, and then everyone in the city fell into chaos.

On this side, after Lin Zhengsheng issued the order, he immediately turned into a ray of light and came outside the protective formation.

"Beast looking for death!"

I saw that in the turbulent river, a demon python with a length of more than ten feet was destroying the dam in front of the county seat.

At this moment, a huge gap has appeared in that dam, and the surging Xuanling River is pouring down from the gap.

And the turbulent river has come to the foot of the county seat, and countless low-level monsters hidden in the river are attacking the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhengsheng couldn't help but his face changed greatly, but the critical situation at the moment did not allow him to think more.

As a long whip exuding a fierce aura appeared in his hand, he immediately swung his whip towards the second-rank low-grade demon python.

Looking at the human monk attacking towards him, the demon python immediately swung its several-foot-long snake tail, rolled up a huge water column, and directly met Lin Zhengsheng's long whip.

"Boom."

With a loud noise, countless water splashes exploded in mid-air, and the terrifying aftermath of the collision swept away towards the surroundings.

After the water splash fell into the water again, Lin Zhengsheng still stood in mid-air with a long whip in his hand, looking at the monster python in the river with a livid face.

After some fights, he could already feel that the strength of this second-order demon python was not inferior to him.

It's just that a monster python with such a cultivation level should appear in the lower reaches of the [Tongtian River]. How could it come to the last river basin where the water volume has dropped sharply?
However, that monster python didn't give him time to think, it had already waved its several feet long snake tail to attack him again.

At the same time, the monks defending the city who reacted have also climbed onto the city wall and began to defend against the attacks of those first-order monsters.

As one attack after another was released from the city wall, many first-order monsters were blasted into puddles of meat on the spot.

However, in the county at this time, the crowd is still in a mess, and the crowd is surging in all directions.

And because of the chaos, there were fights in many places in the city, and what's more, there were small-scale chaotic battles.

It can be said that the entire city has become a mess, even the law enforcement guards in the county can no longer control it.

At this moment, the two brothers Shen Zhirui were rushing towards the family shop, and along the way they could see the scenes of monks fighting martial arts.

Suddenly, Shen Zhirui unexpectedly found an acquaintance's face among the group of people who greeted him face to face.

It's him!

The figure of a man in black suddenly flashed in his mind, and this man was the man in black who intercepted and killed him in the wild.

During the battle back then, he not only injured the man in black, but also tore off the black cloth covering his face, allowing him to see his face clearly.

Now among the crowd, he encountered the enemy who intercepted and killed him again, Shen Zhirui turned around and followed him without even thinking about it.

But when Shen Zhiyuan realized it, he could no longer see Shen Zhirui in the crowd.

On this side, Shen Zhirui followed the man far away, hiding in the chaotic crowd and following him forward.

But the other party quickly left the noisy street and turned directly into a street with few pedestrians.

Seeing this situation, Shen Zhirui immediately restrained his breath, and then jumped onto the roofs on both sides of the street, followed quietly under the cover of night, keeping a safe distance all the time.

For him, it was not about catching or killing the other party, to avenge the clansman who died that night and the fourteenth uncle who lost his arm.

He just wanted to find out where the other party came from and what he was planning. Of course, it would be great if he could find the other party's lair.

And he is also very confident in his ability to restrain his breath. Although he doesn't know whether he can hide it from the perception of the foundation-building monks, it is definitely impossible for the monks in the Qi training period to find him.

"Where is he going?"

Shen Zhirui couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Soon a splendid building appeared in front of him, and the whole building was firmly surrounded by a blue light curtain.

"That's where the county government and Lin's mansion are located!"

When Shen Zhirui found out that the other party was actually approaching the county government, he suddenly became puzzled.

But before he had time to think about it, the other party went straight into the alley next to the county government office.

After seeing this scene, Shen Zhirui raised his brows slightly, and immediately sneaked up to a nearby tall tree several feet high, where he happened to be able to observe the situation in this alley from a distance.

At this time, more than ten masked monks had gathered in this alley, and they seemed to be preparing for something there.

I saw that one of the men in black took out a second-order talisman exuding strong spiritual power fluctuations from the storage bag, then injected spiritual power, and aimed it directly at the wall of the nearby county government.

"Boom."

There was a deafening roar from the dazzling explosion light, and then the formation light curtain guarding the wall dissipated immediately.

After the light dissipated, a gap appeared in the wall, and these men in black rushed into the county government through this gap.

The scene in front of him shocked Shen Zhirui again, he never thought that this group of men in black would dare to attack the county government.

Although there was chaos in the county at this moment, the county magistrate in the foundation period was no longer in the county government, and even most of the monks in the county government might have gone to the city wall or maintained order in the city.

But even if the guards in the county office are empty at this time, no force or monk has the guts to attack.

So who are these men in black?
