This kind of chaos goes away as quickly as it comes.
It was probably due to the demon siege of the city a few days ago. Many martial arts cultivators were too frustrated to be trapped in the city. Seeing the demon retreat, they beat the demon into the water and bit it desperately.
After three days, the demons outside the city have almost completely disappeared. The city wall with new traces has become darker and more penetrating. The khaki earth before being soaked in black blood has now become red and black.
Countless young shoots have been soaked in this black blood, and thanks to its rich nutrition, they have sprouted up one after another and are full of green.
Someone was cleaning the dirt at the entrance and exit of the city gate, and scattered people came in and out, gradually returning to its former glory.
After killing the last demon he saw, Chen Xiu stopped his demon-slaying knife and headed back home.
Now that the demons outside the city have retreated, there are only two or three demons left behind. They are all first- and second-class low-level demons. There is no need for him to pursue them.
The blood essence absorbed by those demons is not even enough to stuff the teeth of a golden cicada.
Now with the performance in this monster siege, I must have been able to exchange for a lot of money.
At dawn the next day, Shen Xiu rushed to the majestic Shanglin City Government Office. At this moment, in the side courtyard of the city government office where the bounty was collected, there was a long queue of martial arts cultivators.
The arrival of Shen Xiu quickly attracted the attention of many martial arts cultivators.
There is nothing else, but Shen Xiu has been particularly outstanding in killing demons in the past few days, and the reputation of a talented martial artist has been faintly spread in the forest.
These people are all martial arts cultivators who have climbed over the city wall in the past few days. They have a deep sense of the scene where seeing is believing. Shen Xiu's power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Brother Shen Xiu is here, come in front of me, come in front of me..."
A martial arts man in front heard the whispers behind him, turned around and saw Shen Xiu's figure, his expression was startled, and he immediately clasped his fists with admiration on his face and said.
What kind of tiger and wolf words is this?
Listening to what the man said, a thin black line appeared on Shen Xiu's head, and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.
Now the martial arts cultivators present were even more awe-struck. They were so strong in cultivation, so powerful in combat, and yet they were lining up so honestly.
What a strong man who is unified physically and mentally.
When the sun rose three poles, it was finally Shen Xiu's turn.
"Old sir, how much money can you get for the record on this iron plate?"
At this time, in front of Shen Xiu was an old man with a white beard who was over fifty and still energetic.
According to the whispers from the martial cultivators just now, Shen Xiu heard that this old man was once a martial cultivator of the Four Realms, but later his cultivation declined for some unknown reason and he entered the city government and ate royal meals.
"Did you really kill all of these?"
After verifying the data recorded in the iron plate, the old man looked at it again and again, then looked up at Shen Xiu with his eyes wide open, and his face looked a bit incredulous.
He looked at the records in the iron plate. There were three sixth-level demons alone, and the fifth-level demons could not be counted with two hands, let alone the fourth-level demons.
This level of achievement is so impressive.
There are so many martial arts cultivators who have come to collect the bounty, but he has never seen such outrageous data, and they are already abnormal.
The key is that the face in front of me is still so young.
But the record stamps distributed by the city government could not be faked, so the old gentleman’s eyes became tangled.
"Hey, old sir, you don't need to check Brother Shen Xiu's data. We all saw it with our own eyes when we killed the sixth-level demon that day, so there is no need to lie..."
"That's right, let alone Brother Shen Xiu's cultivation level, don't you still believe the iron plate of records distributed by the city government..."
……
The voices of support rose and fell, and the old man had to accept the fact that the young man in front of him was a martial arts wizard.
Putting a stack of banknotes in Shen Xiu's hand, the old man suddenly narrowed his eyes when looking at Shen Xiu, and said with a smile, "Young man, are you married?"
Putting away the banknote, Shen Xiu hurriedly shook his head and refused. In the long time he had just queued, this old gentleman had already asked almost everyone who looked decent.
"Hey, my granddaughter is gentle and cute, what a pity..."
Shen Xiu's figure left, and the old gentleman's eyes stayed behind him, unable to turn around for a long time. It was a pity.
I found out from the lady that this young man has sharp eyebrows and a handsome figure, but he is not the ideal type mentioned by his granddaughter. It's just a pity that Luo Hua is deliberately ruthless.
"Old sir, old sir!"
When he was feeling sad, a loud voice from the side interrupted his mood.
When he looked back, he found that he was a tall man with a round waist and a body like a giant bear. He licked his face, leaned on his desk and said
"Old sir, how old is your granddaughter? Do you want to consider me?"
There was only one big word in response, "Go away..."
……
The reward given by the city government consisted of more than forty 100-tael silver notes. Each 100-tael note was equivalent to more than 4,000 taels of silver.
It seems like a lot, but compared to Shen Xiu's record, it's not a lot.
It's just that every time Chen Xiu kills a demon and extracts the blood essence, he also takes the Mingzhu from the demon's body for his own use, which is better than nothing.
After making rapid progress on the fifteenth floor of the tower, taking supplementary medicine pills and soaking in medicinal baths on a daily basis, he finally understood what it means to spend money like running water.
However, during this time of demon siege, he also gained a lot of body skills and entered the third level. The satiety level of the Nine-Transformation Golden Cicada has also been increased to 69.6% with his continuous feeding.
The demons retreated, and Shanglin City returned to its former bustling scene. It seemed that the previous changes had no impact on it.
Some people say that this is because this incident of demon siege is far inferior to the one a hundred years ago.
After that, several major events were discovered in the city. The top experts who went to Xiaoyao Mountain to investigate discovered the healing cracks in the underworld, and the reason why the demons in Xiaoyao Mountain continued to persist was discovered.
The forbidden area exists in name only, and has no restrictions since then. A large number of remaining demons reside in the south of Xiaoyao Mountain. Some people in the forest east of Shanglin City feel that the blood energy is overwhelming, and it is suspected that a monk from the Blood Sea Sect has stepped into the Eight Realms.
None of this has much to do with Shen Xiu. For the remaining few days, he stayed in the city to stabilize his cultivation.
At this moment, he also truly experienced what it means to be trapped by fame.
Due to his outstanding performance in the previous demon siege, his name and figure have entered the eyes of many leaders of the forces in Shanglin.
As a result, there were constant knocks on the door in his courtyard, and there was an endless stream of visitors, one after another, and the next.
There are many purposes, including wooing and forming friendships, building relationships, becoming familiar with each other, and even more outrageous, there are also those who pay a lot of money to have children, it can be said that it is a mixed bag.
After that, Shen Xiu posted the message "Do Not Disturb" in the Sutra of Retreating to Practice Murder, and this time it finally stopped.
A few days later, there was a knock on the door again. When Shen Xiu opened the door, he found that it was Yun Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Yun family.
