Chapter 130: Triumphant Return to the City, Crisis of Linfeng Hall

"Junior brother, there are a lot of people outside, all clamoring to see you, Junior brother, don't you really want to see them?"

Xiao Zhi lay at the back door, glanced out through the crack and said jokingly.

Shen Qing had changed into clean clothes and was lying lazily on the cleaned mud kang. He said indifferently, "They are all people who are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. If you meet them, I'm afraid they will bother you day and night. It's better not to meet them."

"That's right." Xiao Zhi agreed and said, "I used to work in restaurants, and I've seen a lot of such flatterers. They're all just friends who only care about food and drink. They're useless. If you ask them to lend you money, they'll immediately shrink."

As he said this, he sat down next to Shen Qing very naturally.

Compared to those cowards outside, he can get close to this ruthless man who killed the tiger monster.

Such different treatment made him happy for a moment.

As if remembering something, Xiao Zhi asked, "Junior brother, that ghost pretended to be a real person and looked just like the real one. Even the detectives from the Weiwu Division couldn't recognize it. How did you find out?"

Shen Qing glanced at Xiao Zhi and said, "He said something to me, and seeing his attitude, I immediately felt that something was wrong with him."

"What did he tell you?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

Shen Qing said: "He actually told me he was in trouble."

Xiao Zhi was slightly stunned, his whole face became twisted: "This... is nothing, right?"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "When have you ever seen people from the government being polite to us?"

"Uh..." Xiao Zhi was speechless and found that what Shen Qing said made a lot of sense.

The government offices in the county town are notoriously arrogant.

Shen Qing continued, "Later, I saw him being so impatient when he was pointing the way. It was the same as when I used to lead prey into traps when I went up the mountain to hunt. There must be something wrong."

"Junior brother, I now realize that you not only have a good talent for martial arts, but you are also very smart." Xiao Zhi praised sincerely.

……

The next morning, it was just daybreak.

Wang Yanjun and a group of people have already woken up.

Everyone who comes here is a martial artist with vigorous energy and blood. Even those who haven't slept all night are still full of energy and don't show any signs of fatigue.

After a brief cleaning and preparation, Wang Yanjun's voice broke the silence: "Return to the city!"

At Wang Yanjun's call, many warriors stepped forward. Some helped carry the body of the demon tiger, while others supported their injured fellow disciples. The group marched in a mighty manner, heading towards the official road back to Taiping County.

There were originally more than fifty martial artists, but now only half of them are left.

Among them, Linfeng Hall was the most pitiful, with only three people left from more than ten people.

However, when they saw the Linfeng Hall disciple who walked to the front, everyone's face showed a bit of awe.

Shen Qing ignored the gazes behind him and just focused on his journey.

He ignored everyone who tried to get close to him. Chang Yinfa, who was walking in the team, tried to get close to him several times, but to no avail.

When the first ray of morning light shone onto the vast land, Shen Qing and others had already reached the official road.

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.

Taiping County has been plagued by a tiger demon in recent days. The surrounding villages have been severely damaged and the merchants are also trembling with fear and dare not go out casually.

As a result, the city gate, which was very busy in the morning, now seemed deserted and almost no one was at the entrance.

Inside the city gate, the bored county guards were sleepy and yawning.

Suddenly, a strong smell of blood wafted into their noses, which instantly made them perk up and look forward curiously.

The next moment, the corpse of a tiger demon as big as a cow appeared in their sight, carried on the shoulders of everyone.

The tiger demon's bloody mouth was deliberately propped up with two sticks, and its body was spread on several pieces of wood, looking lifelike, as if it were alive.

"Tiger... Tiger demon..."

The guards were startled and stepped back in panic, drawing their swords from their waists and staring closely at the people in front of them.

It started from the hour of Mao and lasted for half an hour.

When the sun was high in the sky, Shen Qing and his team finally entered the city gate. "It's Captain Wang..."

Someone recognized Wang Yanjun's identity and exclaimed.

Shen Qing, who was standing next to her and walking side by side with her, glanced at the guards with eyes as calm as water. The fierce aura contained in his eyes made them tremble all over.

Wang Yanjun stepped forward and said to the guards in a deep voice, "Go and inform the county magistrate quickly, and tell him that the tiger monster has been killed by us, and the killer is Shen Qing from Linfeng Hall."

Hearing this, the guard at the door was shocked. He subconsciously glanced at the man standing next to Wang Yanjun and quickly responded, "Yes!"

After saying that, he rushed directly into the city, untied the reins of an official horse, jumped over, and whipped his horse towards the yamen.

The remaining guards automatically made way, and Wang Yanjun and the others entered the city smoothly.

The inner city was already bustling with activity at this time, and the streets were crowded with people.

Upon hearing that the tiger demon had been killed, people flocked from all directions to watch the excitement.

After seeing the ferocious appearance of the tiger demon, everyone gasped.

Suddenly the streets were filled with noise, and more and more people gathered.

Shen Qing walked in the team, frowning slightly, somewhat disliking this way of entering the city.

"Brother Qingzi, Brother Qingzi!"

Just then, Shen Qing heard a familiar voice coming from the crowd.

He looked around.

"Here, here!"

"Little Tiger?"

Shen Xiaohu squeezed through the crowd and came in front of Shen Qing, panting and looking anxious.

"Why are you here?" Shen Qing asked curiously.

Shen Xiaohu said quickly: "Something happened, something happened in the hall. The Mi Gang came to provoke, and Senior Brother Wu has beaten him to death in front of the hall master's uncle!"

"What?" Shen Qing immediately realized the seriousness of the matter when he heard this, and rushed out of the team without even saying hello to the others.

Linfeng Hall.

The inner courtyard, which used to be deserted, was now crowded with people.

A capable man in shorts sat on a throne, sipping tea with a comfortable look on his face.

In front of him, Fourth Senior Brother Wu Shili fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He was no longer breathing, and died with his eyes open.

"Master, I didn't expect that this disciple of Linfeng Hall would be so weak. He died before I even used any strength."

Standing next to the capable man, a man with a fat face spoke in a sarcastic tone.

As he spoke, he glanced at the people in Linfeng Hall in front of him with a slightly teasing look.

Even Li Linfeng, who usually had a good temper, couldn't hold back his anger at this moment. He stood up and said, "Sun Tiangai, every wrong has its perpetrator, you can just come after me!"

"In a competition between disciples, fists and feet have no eyes, so it is inevitable that there will be some casualties."

Mi Gang leader Sun Tiangai gently placed the teacup on the tea table and said with a half-smile, "Besides, you killed my son that day, and now I'm killing your disciple, so we're even."

"what on earth do you want?"

Sun Tiangai said, "It's just a challenge! Why is Master Li so excited?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Lingchan, Ouyang Tiezhu and others who were hiding behind Li Linfeng turned pale.

In the courtyard, there were no less than five disciples of the Mi Gang who were at the Bone Refining Stage, and one of them was born with supernatural powers and had reached the Qi Nourishing Stage.

At present, many disciples of Linfeng Hall have been assigned to go up the mountain to kill the tiger. The direct disciples are all useless. The strength of the hall has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to deal with the aggressive Mi Gang.

This time, the Mi Gang came with the intention of destroying Linfengtang.

"Who's next?" The martial artist with a face full of flesh looked around at everyone and said.
