Sun Li saw his son lying on the ground, his face pale, bleeding from all his orifices, and as if he would die in the next second. He could no longer control the anger in his heart towards Gu Chen.
He was furious, glared at Gu Chen, and shouted: "You little beast, you are looking for death!"
At this moment, Sun Li's beard and hair were spread out, and he rushed towards Gu Chen like an angry old lion. He slapped Gu Chen's head with one palm, intending to beat him to death directly.
"Uncle Sun, no!"
"Master Sun, stop!"
When the other family heads saw this, they were also shocked. Although Gu Chen took action and severely injured Sun Changzhi, Gu Chen came from Jingtiansi in Tiandu after all, and his identity was different from them. If Gu Chen was really killed by Sun Li today,
Here, once Jingtiansi is questioned, they will follow suit.
Gu Chen looked calm and stood on the spot, not dodging or evading. He looked at Sun Li's aura and knew that the other party was also a warrior in the Tongmai realm, but people will age, and warriors are no exception. When he reaches Sun Li's age, he is still young.
The body is old and frail, the energy and blood are declining, and the strength of the body is basically 100% or at most only 50% or 60%.
Not to mention that Gu Chen has now reached the level of meridians and has opened sixteen meridians in his body. Even before the breakthrough, Sun Li would not be Gu Chen's opponent.
"Die for me!"
Sun Li shouted angrily, his breath surging all over his body, and he slapped Gu Chen on the head.
At this time, Gu Chen, who was standing on the spot, suddenly frowned, his figure flashed, and he disappeared immediately, and Sun Li's palm hit him empty.
"Want to run?!"
Suddenly, a cold shout from Gu Chen came from the county government office. Not far away, Sun Changzhi, who had been lying unconscious, suddenly had waves of sinister black energy gushing out of his body. Gu Chen's body flashed.
When he came closer, the blazing inner energy was circulating in his body, and he slapped his palm directly at the black gas condensed in the air.
"Ouch——"
In the air, there was a faint scream, and the black air in the air spontaneously ignited without fire. It was quickly burned clean and completely dissipated in the air.
"This is...a demon?!"
After everyone in the field saw the black energy gushing out of Sun Changzhi's body, their expressions changed and they recognized its source. At the same time, they quickly stepped back and distanced themselves from Sun Li with a vigilant expression.
Sun Li was also stunned. He didn't know how his son could have an affair with a demon. He stood there blankly.
Gu Chen put away the soul crystal without looking at Sun Changzhi who fell on the ground. He turned around and looked at everyone calmly and said: "Now, do you believe what I say?"
"This..."
Several family heads looked at each other. They had never thought that Sun Changzhi was actually possessed by a demon, and they had never noticed it after being with them for so long.
If Gu Chen hadn't found out today, the consequences in the future would be terrifying just thinking about it, and I might even die without knowing how.
"Master Gu, I have offended you a lot before, please forgive me." The Zhao family and other family heads all bowed to Gu Chen with fists in their hands. Now, they no longer have any doubts about Gu Chen's words.
The living example is here, what else is there to say?
What's more, they had seen Gu Chen's tough attitude before. Now that the matter was clear, they were immediately convinced of Gu Chen and no longer dared to have any objections.
"Master Gu, the head of the Sun family...oh no, it's Sun Li, could it be him too?" Everyone looked at Sun Li, with undisguised vigilance on their faces.
Now, as long as Gu Chen says a word, they will definitely attack Sun Li directly and capture him as soon as possible without any mercy.
"I..."
Sun Li looked anxious. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak. After all, even his son was contaminated, so it was natural for him to be suspected.
Gu Chen glanced at Sun Li, shook his head, and said: "Family heads, don't worry, Sun family head is normal."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer as wary of Sun Li as before, but they did not get close and kept a distance.
When Sun Li saw this, he opened his mouth. After a while, he sighed, bent down to Gu Chen, gave a deep salute, and said, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for your understanding."
Gu Chen didn't say anything, he just told the truth. If Sun Li also had a problem, he would have just taken down the father and son together.
Afterwards, Gu Chen walked past Sun Li and went straight back to the top position to sit down.
"Wu Qian, take care of it." Gu Chen ordered Wu Qian.
"As commanded."
Wu Qian clasped his fists and wanted to drag Sun Changzhi's body down.
"Wait!"
Seeing everyone's gaze, Sun Li hurriedly said: "Master Gu, Changzhi... Changzhi is my son after all. Can you let me take his body back?"
At this moment, Sun Li's face was ashen. In just a short time, his energy and spirit had declined a lot. His eyes looking at Gu Chen were still pleading, and he no longer had the arrogant look before.
p>
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.
Seeing Gu Chen's permission, Sun Li also bowed to Gu Chen again.
"Family heads, since you have no objection to what I said before, we will start searching the whole city tomorrow. The county government is currently short of manpower, and I hope you can cooperate tomorrow." Gu Chen looked around the crowd and said slowly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will fully cooperate with you tomorrow."
All the family heads nodded one after another. Now that it was confirmed that there were indeed demons lurking in Ningcheng, they were obviously more anxious than Gu Chen to find these demons.
After all, no one knows if there is another person like Sun Changzhi in Ningcheng.
No one can guarantee whether the people closest to them are possessed by demons. If they are in the same situation as Sun Changzhi, it would be terrible, and they might suddenly lose their lives one day.
"In this case, all the family heads should go back and rest first. We will start searching the whole city early tomorrow morning."
"Yes."

Everyone nodded and was about to retreat, but at this moment, Gu Chen suddenly spoke up and said, "Mr. Zhou, please stay."
Zhou Rang, who was just about to get up, heard this and sat there again. No matter how chaotic the scene was before, he always looked like an old god, very calm, and his psychological quality was indeed much better than the others.
After everyone had left, Gu Chen came to Zhou Rang, raised his hands and said, "There is something I hope Mr. Zhou can help with."
Zhou Rang smiled slightly and said: "What Mr. Gu said is a bit serious. You are now worried about the safety of our Ningcheng. As a member of Ningcheng, I will naturally do my best to help Mr. Gu if he needs anything."
Gu Chen nodded, and without any delay, he said directly: "This junior wants to ask Mr. Zhou to temporarily take over the post of magistrate of Ningcheng. Now that Fang Yong is dead, Ningcheng is leaderless. If we search the whole city tomorrow, I'm afraid that many people in Ningcheng will
I am panicking, and the situation may get out of control, and you are the most famous person in Ningcheng, so it is most appropriate for you to serve as the magistrate and appease the people."
Zhou Rang nodded, feeling that although Gu Chen was young, he was really thoughtful about things. He said, "Thanks to Lord Gu's respect, I accepted Lord Gu's commission without giving in."
When Gu Chen heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "In that case, thank you very much Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Rang gently stroked the white beard on his chin and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this is what we should do. Mr. Gu is really a hero. He is so young, but he is so considerate and thoughtful in everything. I haven't seen him in a long time."
An outstanding young man like Mr. Gu."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is overly complimentary."
"Oh, by the way, I have a suggestion regarding the city search tomorrow." Zhou Rang said suddenly.
"Mr. Zhou, please speak." Gu Chen motioned to Zhou Rang, but said it doesn't matter.
Zhou Rang slightly chinned his head and said, "That's right. Since demons possess ordinary people, naturally, all the seven major families in Ningcheng, including my Zhou family, will be suspects. I'm worried that once those people are possessed by
When people who pollute know the news, they are likely to take risks or run away overnight, so my suggestion is that the city should be closed down immediately and precautions should be taken to prevent this from happening."
When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded directly and said: "Mr. Zhou is right, but I have neglected this point, Wu Qian!"
Later, Gu Chen called Wu Qian and ordered Wu Qian to notify the city defenders to immediately block the gates of Ningcheng and prohibit anyone from passing through.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Chen and Zhou Rang discussed the details of tomorrow's city search overnight. Soon, the night passed.
