Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

This night was a sleepless one for many.

Supervisor Qian braved the cold wind, waiting outside the County Magistrate's residence for the sunrise.

County Constable Hu examined Cao Yongjun's corpse, trying to find even the slightest bit of information.

After flying away from the county town, the bird demon returned to the city through a secret passage.

Inside the Myriad Sound Pavilion, Zijing was playing Go with someone.

A slender, white, and tender arm placed a black stone, and she softly asked, "Was that bird demon just now a great demon from Black Wind Hold?"

"No!"

A white stone landed, and the man opposite her said in a steady voice, continuing, "None of the eight leaders of Black Wind Hold are bird demons."

Zijing held a Go stone, thoughtfully saying, "Strange, where did this Pulse Opening Realm bird demon come from?"

"Compared to this..."

The man opposite her raised his head, solemnly saying, "Miss, you should restrain yourself a bit recently. I heard that those great families have already secretly made preparations, just waiting for you to fall into their trap."

His face was resolute, and even sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, his back was still straight.

"Inspector Cheng!"

Zijing spoke his identity in one breath, it was actually Qiu Lin County Inspector Cheng Yi.

"You should know that my father died unjustly, and my entire family of fourteen people all lost their lives, only I survived. They are all watching me from below, waiting for me to avenge them. And to do this, I must retrieve the family's inherited cultivation method!"

Crack!

Slender, white fingers easily crushed the stone Go stone.

When she said this, Zijing's face was ferocious, her eyes filled with endless hatred.

Cheng Yi sighed and softly said, "I think Lord Yuan, if he has a spirit in heaven, would only hope that you can live a stable life, a life of peace..."

"Cheng Yi!!!"

Zijing suddenly shouted in a low voice, "You are just a horse groom from my father's time, don't pretend that you know my father so well!"

Although he was insulted by the other party in this way, there was no anger on Cheng Yi's face, he only remained silent for a long time before saying, "How do you need me to help you?"

Hearing this, Zijing's expression softened a little, saying, "The Thousand Pine Painting, which contains my family's secret method, was indeed sold to this Qiu Lin County by a merchant back then, but I have already investigated all the wealthy households in the city and have not found the whereabouts of this painting."

"But a few days ago, the foolish son of the Wu family, a wealthy family in Baoshan Village, was drinking in the Myriad Sound Pavilion, and someone heard him say that his family has a Thousand Pine Painting, which is a rare treasure at the time."

Cheng Yi frowned and said, "Baoshan Village? That place is close to the Qiu Lin Mountains, and most of the wealthy households in the village have good relations with the Black Wind Hold demons..."

Zijing seemed to know his concerns, and smiled, "Don't worry, you don't need to take risks. All you need to do is pretend to be me during this time and continue to patronize the treasure houses of several wealthy families."

Cheng Yi was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something, his face heavy as he said, "They are starting to suspect you?"

Zijing spread her hands helplessly, saying, "I was careless last time and bumped into that foolish son of the Li family. Although I got through it safely at the time, the Li family has been secretly investigating me recently. This time I'm going to Baoshan Village, also to take the opportunity to clear my suspicions."

"You're going alone?" Cheng Yi immediately shook his head, saying, "No! It's too dangerous. If you encounter those leaders of Black Wind Hold, even with your strength, it will be difficult to escape."

"Don't worry!" Zijing had a strange smile on her face, muttering, "I recently met an interesting fellow, I think he should be happy to help me."

The seemingly peaceful night in Qiu Lin County had undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

But all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Shen Lin.

After a sound sleep, the next morning, he waited for good news.

"I contacted many people, but only one demon agreed to meet me."

Sun Zhi stood beside the table with his head down. Seeing that Shen Lin had finished breakfast, he quickly and diligently handed over a towel.

After wiping his hands, Shen Lin smiled and said, "Head Constable Sun, as expected, you didn't disappoint me."

Receiving Shen Lin's praise, Sun Zhi did not have the slightest joy.

His face had a hint of sorrow as he said, "But the other party requested that I go alone."

Only him alone, not even humans as blood food could be brought along.

No matter how you looked at it, there was something wrong with this condition.

But Shen Lin didn't care about this at all, he just stood up and patted Sun Zhi's shoulder, saying, "Don't be afraid, behind you, there is me."

"I guarantee that those guys won't hurt a hair on your head."

After receiving Shen Lin's promise, Sun Zhi hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "They asked me to go to Baoshan Village tonight. I will set off first, and you wait for a quarter of an hour before setting off. This time, the transaction target is a dog demon, its senses are very sharp, please be careful!"

After saying this, Sun Zhi hurriedly left to go home and pack his things.

After seeing him off, Shen Lin looked at the clear sky and comfortably stretched his back.

What a great day to go to work.

With that thought, he was just about to return to the bedroom when he heard a knock on the door.

"Is there another case?"

He thought someone from the County Office had come to find him.

But when he opened the door, what came into view was Zijing in a pink dress, smiling charmingly.

Bang!

Shen Lin decisively slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, the smile on Zijing's face froze.

After being stunned for a moment, she looked around and found that no one had noticed here, she immediately gathered her Qi and jumped, directly crossing the courtyard wall.

Her jump landed directly in front of Shen Lin, and she sneered, "Master Shen! Why don't you even pay attention to your own little lover?"

"I'm tired of playing!"

Shen Lin rolled his eyes, not politely saying.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with this guy.

Although the other party had a beautiful face, a shapely figure, and a very pleasant voice.

But after all, this was a rich woman who could send out two Pulse Opening Pills, her background must be extraordinary.

Although Shen Lin's current strength was also among the best in Qiu Lin County, who knew how many old schemers were hiding in the dark.

Just like the demon cultivator he dealt with yesterday, although his own combat power was not very good, his methods of controlling zombies, coupled with various underhanded tricks, if Shen Lin had not comprehended the Shadow Severing Step, he would have had to pay some price at the very least.

Therefore, besides demons, he should provoke as few other troubles as possible.

Thinking of this, he yawned and said, "No matter what you have to do, I'm not interested, you should go back."

But Zijing seemed to understand Shen Lin's character, knowing that without sufficient compensation, it would be difficult to get this old schemer who had hidden his strength for so many years to take action, so she opened her mouth with a trump card.

"Five Pulse Opening Pills! Help me with something tonight!"

Shen Lin's eyes widened, and the steps he was originally preparing to take back stopped abruptly.

Five Pulse Opening Pills!

Damn it, this rich woman!!!

After hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head and said, "I can't help!"

Although the Pulse Opening Pills were very tempting, he had important things to do tonight.

If he guessed correctly, this time Sun Zhi would at least lure out two Pulse Opening Realm demons, after all, Sun Zhi had previously killed a Pulse Opening Realm wolf demon, the other party would definitely have made some preparations.

Two Pulse Opening Realm demons, that was at least two hundred years of demon lifespan.

And the degree of danger was controllable, he could at worst throw Sun Zhi as bait and leave directly, safety could still be guaranteed.

But Zijing's matter was full of unknown risks, he still...

"It's not a troublesome thing, you just need to accompany me to Baoshan Village to retrieve something."

Shen Lin suddenly turned his head: "You said where?"

"Baoshan Village!"

"Actually, I'm not doing it for those Pulse Opening Pills, I just simply like to help others. Can you give me a few Pulse Opening Pills in advance?"
