I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 77: Mr. Zeng, It’s Like We’ve Known Each Other Forever!

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Mr. Zeng, It’s Like We’ve Known Each Other Forever!

They currently lack money and resources, but being the County Magistrate, Zeng Fan, he...

Subsequently, Zhao Sheng clasped his hands toward Lu Xuan and bowed, the awkward expression vanished, and he confidently spoke.

"Senior, give me a day. Rest assured, by tomorrow I will meet your requirements."

For the first time, Zhao Sheng found Zeng Fan pleasing to the eye. He and Qian Hao slowly walked to Zeng Fan’s side.

While speaking, Zhao Sheng’s tone carried an unprecedented warmth and politeness.

"Mr. Zeng, it’s all settled. Seeing as there are too many people around, let’s return to the county office for an intimate chat!"

"Look, since we arrived in Dengfeng County, we’ve been too focused on official duties, neglecting you, Mr. Zeng."

"To express my apologies, tonight we shall drink till dawn."

Zhao Sheng stretched out an arm, familiarly resting it on County Magistrate Zeng Fan’s shoulder, like blood brothers.

"Mr. Zhao, w-what’s going on, don’t scare me."

Faced with Zhao Sheng’s sudden camaraderie, Zeng Fan got goosebumps all over, feeling guilty and said shakily.

"Did I do something wrong, Mr. Zhao? You’re a magnanimous person, please don’t make it difficult for me!"

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing!"

"I simply felt an affinity with you, Mr. Zeng, as if meeting an old friend."

"Let’s go, Mr. Zeng, that issue has been resolved, you needn’t worry."

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao stood on either side, sandwiching County Magistrate Zeng Fan, nearly lifting him off the ground.

Then Zhao Sheng and his companions left the courtyard under the curious gazes of onlookers.

"Xuan, who are those two?"

Shen Yuan looked on in disbelief.

The County Magistrate of Dengfeng County, the fatherly figure of the county, was so humble in front of these two strangers.

How could such prominent figures appear at his abode?

"Two benevolent and helpful philanthropists!"

At this moment, Lu Xuan was also in a very good mood.

Tonight, not only did he slay the cunning Man-faced Monster and gained a large amount of System Points, but he was also about to receive the potent medicine gifted by the Profound Bird Guard.

So from Lu Xuan’s perspective, Zhao God and his associate were indeed generous benefactors, were they not?

........

Lingshi County!

In the dead of night, in a silent village, a blaze shone brightly.

What was chilling was that the flames were a strange white, like ghostly fires floating in the deep black night.

Within the white flames, over a hundred silhouettes sat cross-legged on the ground.

Their eyes were shut, wearing white robes and crowns, with white lotus flowers embroidered on the robes.

Sitting at the very center was a frail and skinny elderly man of eighty, donned in a loose robe with black-and-white stripes.

"Are all the blood offerings prepared?"

The elderly man opened his eyes, his pupils surrounded by white, leaving only a tiny black dot in the center.

As he spoke, two middle-aged men sitting in front of him immediately responded.

"Mr. Jin, we have forcibly implanted the White Lotus Blood-sucking Seeds in everyone in this village."

"By tomorrow, we can absorb their flesh and blood completely, yielding the Holy Lotus Fruit."

"Hmm, very good. We must leave here quickly; the Profound Bird Guard, those court dogs, have already appeared in Lingshi County."

"Has anyone from the Lian Sheng Temple in Dengfeng County contacted us?"

The elderly man’s words caused a momentary pause in the expressions of the two middle-aged men.

They immediately fumbled, afraid to speak.

"Useless!"

The elder’s understanding of their performance was clear.

"A bunch of useless trash."

His old face turned angry, a terrifying and oppressive aura burst forth, causing the two middle-aged men before him to stagger back a few steps.

The two middle-aged men, emanating power and blood, struggled to withstand as if a mountain pressed upon them.

The two Martial Artists at the Blood Refining Realm appeared as weak as children in front of this frail elder.

"Calm your anger, Mr. Jin."

The two middle-aged men knelt down, imploring the skinny elder before them.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the elder restrained his aura, allowing the two men to collapse to the ground, relieved.

"Damn the Profound Bird Guard!"

The elder gritted his teeth, his voice like a saw cutting wood, unpleasantly grating.

This time, he risked his life by intentionally revealing his whereabouts, only to divert attention from the people at Lian Sheng Temple, Dengfeng County.

His appearance caused the Profound Bird Guard of White Dao Prefecture’s capital to hunt him relentlessly.

Yet, nobody from the incompetent Lian Sheng Temple came to contact them.

That proved something had gone wrong with the White Lotus Blood Infant at Lian Sheng Temple.

It was a creation he had personally nurtured, just one step away from becoming a White Lotus Saint Envoy.

The White Lotus Saint Envoy was equivalent to his Inner Qi Realm, and even Martial Artists who had achieved minor Inner Qi couldn’t challenge it.

By then, relying on his own power and the White Lotus Saint Envoy’s might...

Not to mention White Dao Prefecture; even in the entire Anzhou, he could establish his foothold without hiding like a rat crossing the street.

"Damned beings, who is opposing me!"

"I absolutely will not let you go!"

Li Chengfeng, that old bastard, wasn’t already lured by him.

How could there be a stronger presence than his White Lotus Blood Infant in the small Dengfeng County?

"What about the news from Fang Sheng, the leader of Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Reporting to Elder, that old guy Fang Sheng is dead, killed by Li Yanran from the Profound Bird Guard."

"Li Yanran?"

"Is she......"

Before the frail elder could inquire further, a dozen sharp whistling sounds came from the sky outside the village.

Soon after, these dozen figures landed on the ground, surrounding the people there.

"Remnants of the Pure World White Lotus Sect!"

"You demons still dare to show yourselves in the world!"

At this moment, a woman clad in a form-fitting azure-blue brocade stepped forward, speaking.

"Old bastard, looking for me?"

And she was Li Yanran!

"Hehe!"

"A mere Martial Artist at the Blood Refining Realm dares to show off in front of me!"

"Our Holy Sect can reappear in this world thanks to your master’s favor!"

"Since ascending the throne, doesn’t your master’s actions speak for themselves?"

"Emperor Tianwu, Xia Mingyue!"

The elder’s words instantly changed the expressions of the others.

"Impudent!"

"Insolent!"
