Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

“How the hell did this thing fly up...”

With that previous move, Shen Lin could have directly chopped off the opponent's head.

However, he was more interested in the 'Lord' that Sun Zhi mentioned and the person behind this bird demon, so he didn't kill it, intending to just disable it first.

But at this moment, the opponent actually flapped its wings and flew up.

As the pair of black wings fluttered, blood kept dripping from the wounds on its body, and even its intestines were hanging out from the wound in its abdomen.

Shen Lin gained a new understanding of the vitality of these demons.

Just as he was thinking about picking up something to knock it down, the drunkard suddenly said, "The hook on the hilt of the knife, see it? Try that!"

Hearing this, Shen Lin curiously lowered his head and discovered that the hook on the hilt of the Rolling Cloud Blade could actually be removed.

Its tail was connected to the hilt with a thin line.

"The silk of the Golden Silk Spider Demon is not only tough and strong, but it can also be injected with spiritual energy to freely extend, with the length depending on the total amount of spiritual energy you inject."

After hearing the drunkard's explanation, Shen Lin concentrated and injected spiritual energy into the thin line, aimed at the bird demon that was gradually flying into the sky, and threw the hook directly.

Whoosh!

The hook flew straight towards the horizon, and the thin line at its end continued to extend after Shen Lin injected spiritual energy.

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, the bird demon's body shook, and its body slid down a bit.

The hook accurately hit the bird demon's shoulder, and the barb easily pierced through the opponent's flesh, getting stuck in his shoulder blade.

Even so, Master Li still didn't give up and was trying to remove the hook.

Seeing this, Shen Lin chuckled and suddenly stopped injecting spiritual energy.

The remaining spiritual energy in the thin line instantly dissipated, and it suddenly contracted, pulling the opponent directly back.

Bang!

Master Li slammed heavily onto the ground in front of Shen Lin.

Seeing this, the drunkard nodded in satisfaction and got up and walked over.

"You spared his life to get something out of him, right?"

He seemed to have seen Shen Lin's purpose long ago and asked directly.

Seeing Shen Lin nod, the drunkard smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Gao Shenghan, and I am a Centurion of the Youzhou Demon Suppression Division."

Centurion?

Shen Lin was shocked, but his expression didn't change much, and he said, "Shen Lin, a constable from Qiulin County."

The Great Wei Dynasty had fourteen provinces, and each province had a Demon Suppression Division Chiliarch Office responsible for slaying demons and eliminating evil.

The lowest-ranking members were all at the Houtian realm, with the official rank of Seventh-Rank Commandant, which was equivalent to Lin Youwei, the magistrate of Qiulin County, in terms of rank.

And this Gao Shenghan in front of him was actually a Centurion.

This meant that he was in charge of a hundred Houtian realm Demon Suppression Division Commandants.

Then his cultivation...

While he was pondering, Gao Shenghan looked at the bird demon and said, "I also have some questions to ask him, how about we do it together?"

"Please go ahead! I'm not in a hurry."

Gao Shenghan nodded, squatted down, and frowned, "In this state, it's hard for us to talk..."

As he spoke, he casually pointed a finger at the opponent's forehead.

It was unknown what method he used, but the opponent's demon body receded, the wings behind him folded up, and the dark bird head turned into a human face.

As his head transformed, Shen Lin finally saw the opponent's face and couldn't help but sigh.

Master Li...

The person behind Sun Zhi seemed to be County Magistrate Lin Youwei.

Moreover, Master Li was a demon, so did this County Magistrate make a deal with a demon, or...

Did he have a problem himself?

While he was thinking, Shen Lin's expression suddenly changed.

He remembered where he had seen the cyan cloth strip left by the person who died in the post station.

It was the person who went to the County Magistrate to complain and then left inexplicably.

Speaking of which, Shen Lin had never deeply thought about the reason for that person's strange behavior that day.

"Is the current County Magistrate of Qiulin County still Lin Youwei?"

At this time, Gao Shenghan's question suddenly brought Shen Lin back to his senses.

The strange behavior of the cyan-robed man that day...

Lin Youwei's distant nephew...

Master Li, whose true form was a bird demon...

Ah, my head is itchy, I'm about to grow a brain!

Shen Lin scratched his head, and a guess formed in his mind.

At this time, the conversation between Gao Shenghan and Master Li confirmed his guess.

Gao Shenghan's previous finger must have done more than just transform the opponent into a human form.

Because at this moment, Master Li's eyes were dazed, and he answered every question.

"No, the current County Magistrate of Qiulin County is a member of the Biyi clan of the Myriad Demon Kingdom."

Hearing the word 'Myriad Demon Kingdom', Gao Shenghan frowned.

The Great Wei Dynasty was not the only country in this world.

To the west of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was a continuous and endless mountain range.

Among them, there was a demon clan's kingdom, the Myriad Demon Kingdom.

After understanding the opponent's origin, Gao Shenghan murmured, "The Biyi clan of the Myriad Demon Kingdom... I said that no one has noticed that there is a problem with this Qiulin County for so many years."

Biyi were chameleons.

The members of this demon clan were good at transformation, and even the people in the Demon Suppression Division who possessed demon identification secret techniques could not easily see through their true faces.

The County Magistrate of Qiulin County, Lin Youwei, had been replaced by a demon long ago.

Gao Shenghan continued to ask, "What have you been doing all these years?"

"Gathering intelligence, inserting people into the Great Wei through the County Magistrate's channels. Selecting some humans with special bloodlines and sending them to the Myriad Demon Kingdom under the guise of service..."

Listening to the opponent's dull words, Shen Lin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

This Lin Youwei had done so many things silently.

After Gao Shenghan asked a few more questions, he got up and stroked his chin, "I've finished asking, if you have anything you want to ask, hurry up and ask now, he won't last much longer."

Shen Lin shook his head and sighed, "I had some doubts, but now I don't."

The cyan-robed young man should be Lin Youwei's distant nephew.

His strange behavior after seeing Lin Youwei might have been because he was wondering why his uncle couldn't recognize him.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and immediately pretended to be someone who came to complain, which allowed him to survive the crisis.

It was just a pity that he escaped for a while, but still couldn't leave safely, and was swallowed whole by Master Li in this post station.

As for the corpse that died in the mountains, it might have been a small thief who stole the cyan-robed man's package, or it might have been a smokescreen released by the other party to test the waters, it was hard to say.

Now, Master Li was no longer useful.

Thinking of this, fearing that the Demon Suppression Division Centurion would steal the kill, Shen Lin decisively stabbed Master Li's forehead with his sword, sending him to the Western Paradise.
