Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 400 The demons are too weak
Prefect Deng's heart tightened. Tomorrow?

Its sense of urgency grew stronger and stronger, as if an invisible rope had been put around its neck.

The intense feeling of suffocation was almost forcing out its demonic nature; its inherent bestiality was becoming uncontrollable.

This mortal is quite powerful.

The representatives of the prominent families cheered.

People are very receptive to this kind of legendary story.

When Yu Gong eliminated the three demons in the capital, he did the same thing, and the practice spread throughout the country.

While Xu Hanwen's actions were also impressive, he relied more on his wisdom and the strength of his subordinates, making them easier for people to understand and accept.

Furthermore, the kind-hearted Mr. Xu also provided emergency plans for the next few days.

"There may be more than one centipede, so it would be better to sprinkle more realgar powder in the mansion."

"And keeping some chickens in the yard can ward off these monsters."

For the demon race, mutual generation and mutual restraint are always an unavoidable weakness.

The representatives of the aristocratic families expressed their gratitude and trust upon seeing that the other party had presented all the security plans, from the investigation to the arrest, all at once.

As expected, it has to be someone from Chongqi Academy who came up with the right connections. We can consider adding more sponsorship later.

After the case report concluded, it seemed as if half of the dark clouds over Suzhou had been cleared away.

"Then it's up to Mr. Xu to decide."

I told you so long ago.

"If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"There's nothing much here in Suzhou city yet."

Before leaving, everyone expressed their highest respect to Mr. Xu.

Deng You didn't say a word; his mind was in turmoil. He followed the crowd out.

Realgar powder. Tianke.

It should be noted that there are still many descendants lurking in the nest within Suzhou City. If they were sprinkled with realgar powder, they would be unable to move an inch.

So, should we immediately notify our clansmen to evacuate Suzhou?
"Lord Deng!"

He stopped in his tracks; that evil human was calling to him.

It managed to compose itself before turning around, and then its soul seemed to flutter.

What kind of eyes were those?

It was so deep that one could not see the bottom, and it seemed that something extremely terrifying was hidden inside.

"Lord Deng, I am a good person."

"I firmly believe that good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished."

"Therefore, in order to uphold justice and order in Suzhou, we will use every means possible."

Please understand.

The arrogant tone was delivered in an odd place; was it a provocation or a declaration of war?
In its spiritual perception, it seemed to see endless darkness crawling out from the scholar's shadow, death, war, and natural enemies.

A black curtain obscured the sky, bringing an inevitable end.

Ah!
In the blink of an eye, all darkness and curtains vanished.

The scholar under the eaves was still as upright and honest as ever, and his spirit still carried the aura of an ordinary person.

Was that just a hallucination? Or just a sudden whim?

An unsettling sense of crisis surged wildly within him, a feeling that threatened to drive him mad.

He gave a perfunctory reply and prepared to head to the nest to have the newborn members of his clan leave Suzhou immediately.

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

Got caught!

Its intuition told it that it had been being watched ever since it left the private school. It wasn't one of the good-for-nothings in the city, nor the old good-for-nothing from Xuanxin Temple, but a very powerful cultivator.

Going there now will only lure the enemy into their lair.

The task given by our ancestors will then be revealed.

Bound by an invisible force, Deng You felt a chill, not from his innate cold-bloodedness, but from the chill within his very soul.

Despite possessing immense strength and a bloodthirsty, bestial nature, he still fell into the clutches of a demon.

The unseen force was tightening its grip, and unless he relinquished this identity and left immediately, he would not escape.
Prefect Deng walked back to his residence with heavy steps.

With the imperial dynasty's fortune providing cover, they were finally able to escape surveillance, but what about themselves?
The vast city felt like a prison. Now, all he could rely on was the dynasty's fortune and his official position.

After everyone had left, Lu Dan, who was on the outer perimeter, came in.

"Now can you tell us who's behind this?"

Everyone present heard these words, but sending a centipede demon to kill people was not something an ordinary family would be willing to face.

Since the case can be closed in the next two days, they don't want to cause any more trouble.

As for the promises he made earlier, those were just empty words; no one took them seriously.

The only people present who truly cared were Prefect Deng and the Yangzhou Assistant Prefect, whom they couldn't avoid.

Xu Xuan then indicated that the person behind this was likely very powerful in Suzhou, and that this matter was not simple.

Who would do such a thing if there weren't enormous benefits?

Therefore, he decided not to continue the investigation.

Professor Sheng's assistance was to help Suzhou solve the recent case of the skinning murderer.

Further investigation would be bad for themselves, Suzhou, and Yangzhou; it might involve some dangerous incidents, especially since Deng You came from the Crown Prince's residence.

Lu Dan paused for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, it's best to leave this matter here. We can figure out how to retaliate against certain individuals and forces later in the year. What Suzhou needs right now is stability!
Mr. Xu is truly very tactful.

If I have the opportunity to serve as an official in the same court, I must be very close to him.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that Mr. Xu had already pushed the city to the brink of explosion.

They even chose the scapegoat, and it was an old acquaintance.

I'm saying this today just to clear my name.

Wait until the cornered beast goes berserk and reveals its true colors before ruthlessly locking it in; that will be perfectly reasonable.

Having gone to such great lengths and taken such a roundabout route, Xu Xuan was determined to break the opponent's luck under perfect circumstances.

The death of the previous governor of Xin'an made Xu experience the power of death, directly summoning an Arhat to carry it out—how terrifying!

Therefore, the Holy Father is now using a very meticulous method to resolve destiny.

Justice is not afraid of trouble.

Every step of pressure is preparation for the final curtain call.

The demons have fallen into his clutches!
Night fell, and the air was filled with the smell of realgar. These aristocratic families acted very quickly.

Deng You was still caught in a dilemma in the mansion, his eyes flashing with a fierce light that made him seem inhuman.

So, do you want to tonight? No, that won't do.

I tried a few times, and I was always watched whenever I stepped out of the prefect's residence.

The man did nothing but stare.

Neither sending out soldiers to search nor using spiritual senses to scan could detect the other party's figure, indicating that the other party was likely a master of the same level as himself.

hateful! ! !

Finally, it sighed.

The most crucial part is the plan from our ancestors; we absolutely cannot expose it.

Let go of what you should let go of.

It realized that only its luck and official robes could help it overcome this crisis.

Once they have the time, they will launch a major campaign to invade Qiantang by the water monsters of Taihu Lake.

Find that evil mortal and kill him!
Even now, the demons still cling to the illusion that they will survive this crisis.

"It's just too weak."

Now I finally understand why Xu Xuan said this mission would be easy.

So it turns out that even the hearts of demons can be easily manipulated.

Yan Chixia, who was squatting outside the prefect's mansion, pressed down his straw hat and continued to sit cross-legged on the roof beam, waiting for instructions.

Baoan Hall has now mobilized all its personnel.

The little Golden Dragon King should feel honored. If it weren't for the protection of good fortune, how could it have the ability to make the Holy Father arrange things in this way?

Or perhaps it's a kind of luck.

Cluck~ Cluck cluck~~~
Many roosters crowed; it was dawn.
