Starting from the steel of the heart, slaying demons and monsters.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ping rubbed his hands together and headed towards the prison with some eagerness.

He had originally wanted to see which death row inmates required him to do it himself, but now it seems he might not be able to make it in time.

And those prisoners got a good beating.

One by one, they had been terrified of Zhang Ping after being beaten for several days in a row.

At the same time, Zhang Ping noticed that the small red dots above the heads of most of the other people had disappeared.

Looking into their clear eyes, it's likely they no longer harbor any hostility towards Zhang Ping.

However, Zhang Ping still did not let them go, because their sentences had not yet been served, and given the crimes they had committed, they could not be allowed to live too comfortably.

However, after a while of working hard, his health points managed to break through to 10,000.

He waved his hand to bring up the control panel.

HP: 10180/10180

Realm: Body Tempering Realm (eighth level)

Martial Arts: Iron-Cutting Saber Technique (Proficiency: Mastery)

Supernatural Power: Don't run away, let me take a hit!

Superpower: Damn it, I'll fucking kill you!

Superpower: Daring to use and fight

call…………

With a slow exhale, Zhang Ping felt completely refreshed.

"I'll need 100,000 HP for the next lottery draw."

To be honest, I want all three, especially the allure of late-game heroes who directly reach the innate potential is too great.

But greed can lead to ruin, so Zhang Ping put the panel away.

He turned around and walked towards the government office.

I have important business to attend to today.

Zhengyang Village.

Zhang Wanli urged him on, saying that it couldn't be delayed any longer.

But Zhang Ping knew in his heart that this fat man wasn't truly a benevolent person; he was just afraid of taking responsibility if something went wrong.

If a monster were to cause a major disturbance in Zhengyang Village, resulting in many deaths, and the authorities were to investigate, Zhang Wanli would be the first to suffer the consequences.

When they returned to the yamen, Zhou Zheng had already assembled all the men.

There are three people.

Zhou Zheng, along with two young and strong constables, one named Liu Dazhuang and the other Sun Wukong.

Of course, Sun Wukong is not his real name, but a nickname, because he was thin, quick and agile, and could climb walls and trees like a monkey.

Both of them were at the third level of Body Tempering, which was considered average in the Fenggu City government. They were enough to deal with petty thieves, but would be in trouble if they encountered a real demon.

But Zhang Ping didn't expect them to be able to fight.

He brought men along mainly for backup; someone had to run errands, keep watch over the horses, and handle the miscellaneous tasks at the scene. But he figured he'd have to do the actual knives himself.

When Zhou Zheng saw Zhang Ping return, he immediately went to greet him, holding a book in his hand. "Boss, I've found out the location of Zhengyang Village. It's about 60 or 70 li southeast of the east gate. If we set off now, we should arrive by early tomorrow morning. The village isn't big, only about a hundred households, who make a living by farming and hunting."

Zhang Ping took the book and glanced at it.

A rough map was drawn on it, marking the location of Zhengyang Village and the surrounding terrain.

"Any progress on the matter of the demon?" Zhang Ping asked as he handed the items back to him.

Zhou Zheng's expression turned serious. "We didn't find out much, and the county magistrate didn't say anything useful either."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but curse inwardly.

That fatso, someone probably told him, but he probably doesn't remember!

So we can only go and see for now; there's no use thinking too much about it.

He then went to the back room to pack his things.

But a familiar figure emerged from behind the screen.

That's Heng Ziyang.

Heng Ziyang walked straight up to Zhang Ping and said softly, "Brother Zhang, the town lord's mission has arrived."

That was the first thing we said upon meeting; no small talk, no pleasantries, straight to the point.

Zhang Ping was taken aback.

A mission? The mission that Quejin mentioned?

He glanced subconsciously outside the yamen. He was on his way to Zhengyang Village, and all the men and horses were ready. Now, a new mission had come up.

Seeing his expression, Heng Ziyang immediately understood and quickly waved his hand, adding, "Brother Zhang, there's no need to feel embarrassed. The location of this mission is Zhengyang Village."

Zhang Ping raised an eyebrow.

Zhengyang Village?

What a coincidence?

Heng Ziyang hooked his arm around his shoulder, "We'll meet up in the village then."

Zhang Ping did not respond immediately.

He thought about it for a while.

A demon has appeared in Zhengyang Village, and Zhang Wanli has ordered him to investigate, as this is a matter for the government.

Meanwhile, Jingtianmen also listed Zhengyang Village as the mission location, and it's likely that Heng Ziyang and Guo Jie are also involved.

What does this mean?

This means that the monsters in Zhengyang Village are no ordinary troublemakers.

If it's just a minor demon in the Body Tempering Realm, Zhang Ping can go alone, at most taking Zhou Zheng and the others along to run errands.

However, the fact that Jingtianmen has mobilized indicates that the matter is not simple.

Heng Ziyang and Guo Jie are both experts at the ninth level of Body Tempering. If they both get involved, the situation in Zhengyang Village will probably be quite troublesome.

Zhang Ping lowered his voice, "Brother Heng, what exactly happened in Zhengyang Village? Could you give me a hint?"

Heng Ziyang pursed his lips. "It's not convenient to talk here. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get there."

He then paused, his gaze becoming more serious.

"And there are some things about Granny Black that I need to tell you."

Black Granny is a powerful demon comparable to those at the Innate Realm.

The fact that things are going so peacefully now is probably because that old hag doesn't know her precious grandson has been killed; otherwise, she probably would have come looking for him long ago.

But now it can't be hidden for much longer.

What Liu Lincui overheard in the secret room was that if Hei Sha didn't return when Granny Hei celebrated her birthday, Granny Hei would definitely come looking for her, and then she wouldn't be able to hide it anymore.
