Chapter 279 Collusion, Demons Dance

Shen Qing and the others didn't have to wait too long. Soon, a dusty servant rushed in and said, "Sir Shen."

Shen Qing asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's the situation?"

"Sir, the county magistrate and his entire family have been devoured by demons!"

The officer took a breath and continued, "I don't know when a big monster sneaked into the county government. The monster was so powerful that the county magistrate and his men were unable to resist it. Now there is no trace of its body left."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into deathly silence, with only the occasional whistling of the wind in the yard as a response.

Shen Qing's eyes narrowed.

Not long ago, the county magistrate was seriously injured in a bloody battle with a snake demon and has been in seclusion to recuperate.

He saw clearly that day that although the county magistrate had gone into seclusion, he had not actually recovered at all and his strength had been greatly reduced.

The demon that appeared now was probably as powerful as the snake demon. County Magistrate Bai Mu was unable to resist it in his current condition.

Once the county magistrate died, their county government lost a major fighting force.

What is more troublesome is that the county government is leaderless. Once someone takes advantage of it, it will fall into chaos.

Shen Qing clenched his fists, veins bulging, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Sir Huangfu, let's go to the county government right now to see what's going on."

Huangfu Rou frowned slightly, her expression becoming more serious for once: "Okay."

Before he finished his words, the two of them had already soared onto the roof like an arrow, using their spiritual energy to perform lightness skills.

Huangfu Rou's figure was graceful, like a dragon emerging from the sea, and every step she took was several feet away.

Shen Qing followed closely behind.

Huangfu Rou, who was standing in front of him, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene.

You should know that her great virtual technique is performed at an extremely fast speed.

Before, Shen Qing simply couldn't keep up with her.

Now even if she uses all her strength to activate the Great Void Technique, Shen Qing will not fall too far behind. The difference before and after is extremely obvious.

She looked at Shen Qing carefully and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Shen Qing, I see that you have a strong aura and your spiritual power is unified. Could it be..." Huangfu Rou asked as she walked, with surprise in her tone.

Shen Qing did not hide anything and directly admitted: "Master Huangfu has a keen eye. Recently, I have had an opportunity and have successfully broken through to the Danren realm, and my cultivation has greatly improved."

Huangfu Rou's steps paused involuntarily, and the shock in her eyes was even harder to conceal.

what?
How long has it been?

If I remember correctly, it has only been a year and a half since he joined the Weiwu Division as a detective.

At that time, he was just a small martial artist in the Qi Hai realm.

In other words, during this year and a half, he broke through two major realms in succession.

Huangfu Rou's heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.

As a martial artist, she understood the horror of it.

For ordinary people, before the Qi Hai realm, they can use the resources of the imperial court to quickly break through, but after the Qi Hai realm, every breakthrough is extremely difficult, and it is not something that can be solved by resources alone.

It is normal for many people to be stuck in a bottleneck for several years or even more than ten years.

She had never heard of anyone who had made a breakthrough like Shen Qing, let alone seen one.

How did he practice to reach this level?
Huangfu Rou was so shocked that she was speechless.

But business was important and this was not the time to daydream, so she quickly put her thoughts aside and hurried forward.

The county government office was three blocks away from the Weiwu Division's yamen, which used to take more than a quarter of an hour to get there. But at this moment, the two of them ran at top speed and reached the county government office in just ten or so breaths.

The previously majestic and magnificent county government has completely fallen into ruins.

The towering city walls collapsed into broken ruins, scattered all over the ground, and the gate had long disappeared, leaving only the door frame standing alone. Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou looked at each other, both of them were horrified.

The two of them seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said in unison: "It's the Zhou family!"

"It must be them! We have already found out that the Zhou family is colluding with the demons. The demons can appear in the county city so openly and attack and devour the county governor right under our noses. Only they can do it!"

“They are acting!”

Shen Qing hurriedly released his spiritual sense, spreading it out in all directions.

……

Somewhere in a corner not far away.

A white light suddenly appeared and condensed into a ball.

The white light slowly dissipated like a curtain of water, revealing a charming and beautiful figure.

Immediately afterwards, another ray of light descended from the sky.

After spinning in the air, the figure of an old martial artist appeared.

His hair and beard are all white, and he looks vigorous and energetic.

After the old martial artist stabilized his body, he stepped down from the air and walked towards the charming woman.

The charming woman smiled, licked her lips, and couldn't help burping.

The old martial artist asked, "Jiuli, the innate martial artist we agreed to meet has already fulfilled his promise, so it's time for you to fulfill your promise to us, right?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your hospitality." The charming woman bowed and smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "Don't worry, the things you are concerned about will not go away. Just today, I can feel that the power is getting closer and closer. It won't take long."

"Well, if that's the case, then you can let your cats and dogs out as planned."

"Who are you going to deal with first?"

“Qian family!”

"Oh, why is it the Qian family? Didn't we agree to deal with the county government first?"

"The Qian family has fallen to this extent. How can they be worthy of sitting at the same table with us? It's time to make room for them."

The charming woman smiled so beautifully that her body trembled. She covered her mouth and said, "You old thing are really ruthless. You think they are useless and want to kill their entire family. That's cruel. I like it. What about the other four innates in the county government?"

Old Zhou put his hands behind his back and said, "The county government has been infiltrated by us for a long time. Once the county governor is dead, we can take care of the remaining disobedient ones. If you don't mind the trouble, I can treat you to a proper meal."

"Okay. I never thought that the taste of an innate martial artist would be so delicious." The charming woman licked her lips and said, "Let my little ones handle this kind of snacks from the Qian family!"

She clapped her hands.

"Meow!"

A white cat jumped onto the roof and meowed.

"Let's get everyone out and go to Qian's house to eat."

"That's great, my queen. Everyone has been feeling depressed for so many days." The white cat spoke excitedly in human language.

As it spoke, it leaped down and disappeared over the roof.

Suddenly, a divine thought flashed through the two of them.

The charming woman, who was born with a keen intuition, frowned and said, "It seems we have been discovered!"

Mr. Zhou's expression changed slightly and said, "Hmm?"

"Come to think of it, that little girl from the Huangfu family seemed to have sent someone to investigate me before. Do you want me to handle it for you?" the charming woman said gloatingly.

Mr. Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for your help."

"Two little guys, it's just a piece of cake." The charming woman turned around and turned into a beam of white light and headed back towards the county government.

Shen Qing, who was standing at the gate of the county government, changed his expression and shouted, "Go!"
