At dawn, the monsters retreated, and Lin Zhengsheng, who was embarrassed after a hard night's battle with the second-order monster python, finally returned to the county town.

When he returned to the county seat, he immediately suppressed several riots in the county seat with thunderous means, and then declared martial law throughout the city, and no one was allowed to leave the county seat.

Immediately afterwards, the Xuanling Sect disciples and the Lin family monks guarded the four city gates. The county law enforcement guards drove everyone back to their homes or hotels, and the monks disappeared from the streets for an instant.

After a night of chaos, the entire county was in chaos. Many shops on the street had been smashed into a mess, and the goods in the shops had long been robbed.

The empty streets were not only scattered with all kinds of debris, but also with the corpses of many fallen monks and the tragic scene after last night's battle.

It can be seen that the sudden chaos last night completely broke the stable environment that Xuanlingmen maintained in the county.

Originally, the monks from all walks of life in the city had to carefully abide by various laws and regulations in the county, probably because of the power of Xuanling Sect.

But the chaos last night greatly weakened Xuanling Sect's law enforcement power.

When the sharp sword hanging above everyone's heads suddenly disappeared, all kinds of evil thoughts that had been suppressed deep in their hearts burst out.

Suddenly, the originally peaceful and orderly county town became a place of chaos, and everything that happened restored the original appearance of the spiritual world.

What is practiced in the world of immortality is the law of the jungle and life and death!

On this side, Shen Xiangchi and other members of the Shen family also returned to the family shop immediately after the monsters retreated.

Last night, when the monsters began to attack the city, clan leader Shen Xiangchi led Shen Daoquan and other clan members to the city wall to assist the monks guarding the city in resisting the monsters' attack.

If it is said that those casual cultivators can still obey the orders of the county magistrate, and even take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters in the city.

However, the Shen family, which was founded in Shayu County, did not dare to openly disobey the orders issued by the county magistrate.

After all, those casual cultivators are basically nameless and have no fixed residence. Even if the Xuanling Sect wants to investigate, there is no way to investigate them.

However, the Shen family is different. Whether the Shen family monks have climbed onto the city wall or helped to resist the monsters, the county government monks can quickly find out after the battle.

"Where did you go last night?"

In the silent room, Shen Xiangchi sat on a chair and looked at Shen Zhirui in front of him, and asked with an extremely serious expression.

Faced with his grandfather's inquiry, Shen Zhirui had no intention of hiding anything and simply whispered:

"I went to the county government office..."

Under the former's shocked and puzzled gaze, he simply recounted yesterday's experience in detail.

After listening to Shen Zhirui's words, Shen Xiangchi was no longer calm and reprimanded sternly:

"You kid is getting more and more courageous. You actually dare to get involved in this kind of thing alone..."

His mood at this time was not only dissatisfaction with Shen Zhirui's rash actions, but also worry and fear of the latter's dangerous actions.

On this side, Shen Zhirui did not dare to say anything. After all, he knew that he had really made his grandfather angry this time.

After a while, Shen Xiangchi calmed down and sighed heavily:

"It seems that you have really grown up...but it's really too risky..."

After a slight pause, he looked up at Shen Zhirui again and said solemnly:

"Did you leave any traces along the way or be discovered by anyone?"

"My grandson was hiding his face the whole time, and I specially guarded the surroundings, so I was basically sure that no one would notice..."

Shen Zhirui also said seriously.

"Where are all the things hidden?"

"In the hole in the big tree that you turn left when you go out the back door, I have used the spirit-sealing talisman to seal the spiritual power fluctuations..."

After hearing this, Shen Xiangchi nodded slightly, but the expression on his face still did not dare to relax at all.

"Remember that when I was questioned, I insisted that you were in the store all night. As long as there is no definite evidence, you should be fine..."

...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At this moment, there was a loud knock on the store door.

Shen Xiangchi and Shen Zhirui immediately walked out of the room and came to the door with the second elder Shen Xianghuan and others.

As the shop door was opened by the clerk, three county government monks walked in and looked at the Shen family.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, what are your orders?"

I saw Shen Xianghuan walking to the front and smiling at a middle-aged man among the three who was in the late stage of Qi training.

The man surnamed Yang obviously also knew Shen Xianghuan. After looking at Shen Xiangchi, Shen Zhirui and others, he said to the other two:

"This is indeed the Shen family's shop in Biyunshan..."

After saying that, he immediately looked at Shen Xianghuan and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist Shen. Last night, thieves took advantage of the chaos and attacked the county government office. Now we are searching for these thieves throughout the city..."

Shen Xianghuan, who was previously unaware, was obviously shocked by the news, and immediately said:

"There are thieves who dare to attack the county town. They really risk their lives..."

"I am also following orders. I also ask Fellow Daoist Shen to cooperate with us in answering some relevant questions..."

"Where were you all last night and what did you do?"

The man named Yang looked at everyone again and asked.

"After the chaos last night, our clan leader led some clan members to the city wall to help the monks defending the city to jointly resist the attacks of monsters. As for me, I stayed in the shop with the remaining clan members to prevent young people from robbing the store. ."

After Shen Xianghuan finished speaking, the clan leader Shen Xiangchi and others also spoke one after another and told about the fight against the monster on the city wall last night.

On this side, one of the three county government monks also took out a booklet and seemed to be looking for something.

The last three people also confirmed that the Shen family monks had indeed climbed onto the city wall last night and helped them resist the attack of the monsters.

I don’t know whether it was because the man surnamed Yang was familiar with Shen Xianghuan, or the actions of the Shen family members in helping to resist the monster last night made the three county government monks feel comfortable. During the subsequent search, they only conducted a brief search. Just left.

During the whole process, Shen Zhirui stood there silently, and the three people didn't even notice him.

...

At the same time, in the county court hall, Lin Zhengsheng sat on a chair with a gloomy expression.

"Reporting to my father, most of the taxes paid by each family in the treasury were evacuated, and only a small part was recovered from the four thieves who were killed..."

"Now the whole city is under martial law. Sect disciples and family monks are searching for traces of thieves from house to house..."

"In addition, more than thirty of our monks were killed or injured last night, including thirteen of the county guard monks who were killed or injured. The second brother also died unfortunately..."

Lin Yucheng, the fifth son of the Lin family, bowed his head and reported to Lin Zhengsheng.

The next moment, Lin Zhengsheng, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, suddenly crushed the cup in his hand and roared like an angry old lion:

"Young Liu family, I will definitely ask you to pay with blood and pay for my son's life!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and his entire face turned pale instantly.
