My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

Linshui Town.

It is named after the Shuiyun River, a tributary of the Nanming River, which it is near.

This place is also a distribution center for goods on the waterway of Changning County.

Therefore.

Among the twelve towns and twenty-five villages under the jurisdiction of Changning, its prosperity is second only to that of Changning County.

Unlike the bustling atmosphere of Changning.

Linshui Town gives people a more "rough" feeling, like a rugged man who has been traveling the world for many years and is covered in the vicissitudes of life.

The local people are also very hospitable.

The atmosphere of the martial arts world is stronger in Linshui Town than in other places.

Wherever the eye can see.

Cheng also discovered that people from the martial arts world who dressed similarly to him were everywhere.

On the contrary, he was a demon, someone you couldn't even see in the city.

In other towns and villages, there are more or less demons who have descended from the mountains and settled down.

"Young hero!"

As soon as I entered an inn, a waiter with a white towel draped over his shoulder came over enthusiastically:

Are you having a meal or just grabbing a bite?

"Give me a room, some food, and take good care of the horses."

The waiter quickly said:

"Okay!"

"Young hero, this way please!"

He had others fetch the horses, and then led Cheng Ye to a table by the street to sit down. He then went to ask the innkeeper for the room number and ordered the kitchen to cook.

Obviously.

They were already very familiar with this process of dealing with people from the underworld.

When he returned to Cheng Ye's table.

The room number plate was placed down, along with a pot of wine and several small dishes:

"Young hero."

"This is a specialty wine from our Linshui Town."

"Brewn with pure spring water from the Nanming River, it has a sweet and mellow taste."

"The other main dishes will take a little while."

The waiter flicked the towel and was about to leave when Cheng Ye stopped him:

"Are there any demons causing trouble in your waterside town?"

The waiter was taken aback.

Looking at Cheng Ye's youthful appearance, one immediately thought that this young man was the kind of person who had just entered the martial world with a heart full of passion, wanting to slay demons and monsters.

He smiled and shook his head, saying to Cheng Ye:

"Young hero."

"Where would you find any demons in our waterside town?"

"In terms of martial arts skill, we may not be as good as Changning County."

"But the number of martial artists is in no way inferior."

"With so many human warriors here, which demon would be so blind as to cause trouble in Linshui Town?"

Cheng Ye suddenly looked enlightened, then muttered to himself:

"I heard that a dragon demon is causing trouble in Linshui Town."

The waiter, who had turned to leave, hesitated for a moment after hearing the whispers, then turned back and said to Cheng Ye in a low voice:

"Young hero."

"That's none of our business, don't get involved in that kind of trouble."

Done.

The waiter left in a hurry, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.

A short while later.

All the dishes were served.

After filling his stomach, Cheng carried his bundle, went into the guest room, and closed the door.

"That's quite interesting. These locals in Linshui Town seem surprisingly indifferent to this dragon demon matter?"

Among the villages and towns that Cheng Ye had visited before.

The mere mention of demons evokes a deep-seated hatred in the people.

After entering Linshui Town.

Cheng then tried to subtly probe in several places and in various ways, and the results were all roughly the same.

There were no demons causing trouble in Linshui Town.

"But the map that Chen gave us does indeed mark Linshui Town as having a dragon demon with a trace of dragon blood in the Shuiyun River."

If Cheng were an ordinary江湖客 (jianghu kè kè, a person who travels the martial arts world), he might have listened to the waiter's advice.

But after all, he was a constable of the Six Doors.

"Shall we go and see this dragon demon?"

A sense of curiosity arose in Cheng's heart.

What kind of demon could make the people of Linshui Town turn a blind eye to it?

Demons can eat people!

Wherever demons dwell, the people hate them to the core.

……

That night, the stars and moon shone brightly.

The Shuiyun River flows gently, and boats can still be seen passing by on the river.

Cheng also carried a knife and walked along the riverbank.

It wasn't until we had walked about ten miles that the river became turbulent.

Apart from the sound of rushing water, there was no other noise around.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Around here?"

Cheng gazed at the water reflecting the Milky Way, pondered for a moment, and then stepped forward.

As internal energy surged...

Cheng walked towards the center of the river, yet the water droplets did not touch him.

Just then.

The river surged, and the already turbulent current instantly created waves.

An invisible pressure appeared along with the waves.

boom!

Cheng stood motionless on the river, letting the waves crash against him.

hum!

A flash of cold light appeared.

The wave that was trying to push Cheng Ye ashore was instantly split in two.

"snort!"

A muffled, cold snort came from the depths of the Water Cloud River.

Followed by.

A tall figure emerged from the riverbed, riding the waves.

Before the person even arrived, a cold voice had already come:

"roll."

"No one is welcome here."

As the waves receded, a person appeared who resembled a human, but had two bumps on his forehead, looked like a young man, and was tall.

"A dragon demon?"

Upon hearing these two words, the man's face immediately darkened:

"What an rude person!"

Cheng was taken aback by what he heard.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

because.

Before that.

When I encounter demons, we usually can't exchange a single word, and sometimes they even draw their swords before I can even utter a sound.

Even when they hear themselves calling something a demon, they are mostly smug and arrogant.

When have I ever seen such a reaction?

"Retreat immediately."

"I still need to cultivate."

Cheng blurted out, asking the man curiously:

"You don't want to kill me?"

Why would I want to kill you?

Just as Cheng was about to say something more.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of drums suddenly grew louder as they approached from afar.

In the distance, waves surged up again on the Shuiyun River!

This time.

Dozens of aquatic soldiers, armed with weapons, stood atop the waves.

"I see!"

"Are you a lackey of the Dragon Lord's Mansion?"

The man glared at Cheng Ye and spat.

"How could a dignified human warrior be so despicable?"

Cheng didn't reply. He frowned slightly as he looked at the aquatic soldiers who had appeared here so coincidentally.

The words spoken by the innkeeper earlier echoed in his mind.

"So this is what a troublesome matter is?"

The drumming gradually stopped.

A burly man clad in armor stepped out from among the aquatic soldiers.

"You demonic dragon, why haven't you surrendered and been killed yet?"

"Executeed!"

"Executeed!"

Behind him, the aquatic soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted.

"Pooh!"

The man who was called a dragon demon spat at the aquatic soldiers as well.

"You dogs who twist the truth."

"You think that by joining forces with this person, you can deal with me?"

"wishful thinking!"

boom!

With the surge of internal energy, the aura of a fifth-grade mortal swept across the water.

In an instant.

The soldiers of the Dragon King's Palace, standing on the crest of the wave, were unsteady and swaying precariously!

at this time.

Cheng Ye stepped back, saying with great interest:

"I am not one of them."

The sound carried clearly even amidst the roar of the waves.

Upon hearing this, the aquatic general shouted in exasperation:

"You are a constable of the Six Doors. How can you sit idly by when demons are causing trouble?"

interesting!

A smile curved Cheng Ye's lips:

"When?"

"Did you say you were from the Six Doors?"
