The demon was seriously injured, and coupled with the fact that demon energy is easy to track, it is definitely impossible to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scolded the dead child for cheating her out of two taels of silver, but she didn't blame her in her heart. Including this time, it seemed that the demon ran away because A-Nuo made a mistake, Sheng Yuanyao didn't blame her either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, a desperate situation had been formed, and no one wanted an accident. The heaviest injury the demon suffered was still caused by A-Nuo, and that punch caused the demon’s sternum to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really couldn't see how that sticky little body could explode with such strong power, it was simply incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead cripple also said it was a \"Daoist cultivator who entered the grade\", is that entering the grade! Well, it is entering the grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao was complaining in her stomach while chasing. Anyway, chasing and killing demons is the duty of her Demon Suppression Division. If it can still run away after being injured like this, the Xiazhou Demon Suppression Division should collectively slit their throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon was chased in a panic and ran into the mountain forest outside the city. As it ran, it suddenly felt a palpitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demons and monsters are actually two different things, just a collective term for humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not talk about the magic things for now. The body of the demon class is generally some kind of alien beast, or there are also plant spirits, which are relatively rare. The intuition of alien beasts is generally sharper than that of humans. Dangers that ordinary people can't detect can often be warned in advance here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if there were extremely terrifying fierce beasts in the mountains, like the demon emperor who had been seen from afar... Just a glance from afar, the palpitation and horror in the heart went deep into the bone marrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stopped in horror and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mountain ridge ahead, a woman in a purple dress stood quietly on the top, wearing a Yama ghost face on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain wind blew, making her skirt flutter, setting off her graceful posture and excellent temperament. Clearly, she couldn't see her face, but it always made people feel that she was peerless and covered the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon didn't have the mood to appreciate beauty at all. The cold killing intent almost penetrated the bone marrow, and it couldn't help but shout out. \"Yama King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders only know the Yama King, and very few people in the world know her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu suddenly appeared in front of it from the mountain ridge in the distance. The phoenix eyes under the mask were cold, and the voice was like coming from the nine secluded underworlds. \"It is you who made him lose his composure to this extent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu stretched out her slender hand and pinched its neck. \"How dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon was pinched until its eyeballs bulged, making meaningless sounds, without even the strength to struggle, let alone speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu pressed her other hand on its chest and abdomen, and the demon twisted painfully. After a while, a demon pill broke out of its abdomen, and it was actually sucked out of the body by force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this hand is shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" The demon’s corpse was thrown aside like garbage, and Yuan Muyu had already disappeared, as if it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment Sheng Yuanyao led the crowd to chase, and saw the corpse on the side of the road at a glance, shocked. \"Who killed it, and there was no battle at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A constable stepped forward to check, also very horrified. \"The demon pill is gone... It seems to be dug out alive... No, there is not even a wound on the abdomen, it looks like it was sucked out alive from the inside out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Suppression Division was horrified collectively, and cold sweat broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of cultivation is that? Try to suck a person’s internal organs out from the air?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao took a deep breath, looked at the demon corpse silently, and said for a long time. \"It doesn't matter who killed it. It’s self-inflicted to be killed and have the pill taken after entering the human country. We have no obligation to investigate the case for the demon. Take the corpse back, and the case can be closed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded silently, knowing in their hearts that this is not a question of whether to investigate the case for the demon, but that this hand of sucking the demon pill is a bit shocking. If it is a terrifying magic cultivator, then Xiazhou...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, one yard at a time, handle this matter first, and don't know what the situation is on the City Lord’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mountain ridge, Yuan Muyu watched the backs of Sheng Yuanyao and others leaving quietly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Sheng Yuanyao’s heroic posture for a long time, before making a cold hum with an unknown meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her knelt a large group of Yama Hall killers, not daring to lift their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those in the Xiazhou branch were even more terrified. Before, the rumor that the Judge had left, everyone didn't know what was going on, and thought they had turned against the Yama King. Now that they see it, they are not against it at all. Fortunately, someone ran to kill Lu Xingzhou. Yuan Muyu shouldn't know about this, otherwise everyone here would become meat sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu really just arrived. She didn't know where Lu Xingzhou went before. Waiting for the news that Xiazhou transferred powerhouses from the prefecture to reach her ears, Yuan Muyu thought that Lu Xingzhou’s hometown was Xiazhou, so she came to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to see why Xiazhou transferred people, and it has nothing to do with those two white-eyed wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu had purple fire rising in her hands, and she was refining the demon pill just now with her bare hands. After a while, it had changed its form, the demon energy was gone, and it looked like a special fruit instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the refining was finished, Yuan Muyu said faintly. \"It has nothing to do with you, this mission was completed well, there are rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was overjoyed. \"Thank you, Yama King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu handed the \"fruit\" to the fifth-grade assassin. \"This is called... well, called flesh and blood recovery fruit, containing very pure life energy, which has a good effect on refining related pills. Ordinary people in the world don't recognize it, and Lu Xingzhou definitely doesn't recognize it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin took the fruit, looking confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu said with her hands behind her back. \"You go and give it to him, say you got it by accident, don't say you’ve seen this king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin lowered his head. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Xingzhou were here to see the expression hidden under the assassin, he would feel it was very like a sweating soybean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Muyu was silent for a long time again, and whispered to herself. \"The Huo family has been pitted once, and they will be more cautious next time, and the difficulty will double. With this thing, at least he doesn't need to take such risks and can be more calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kind of loss of composure... shouldn't belong to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were faint, and the person had disappeared, leaving only the fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiazhou, which was close at hand, she didn't enter in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou on the other side didn't think it was a problem that the medicine he had been looking forward to for ten years was gone, and didn't take it seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as A-Nuo recovered, he was like being activated, and he had long since returned to his calm, turning to Shen Tang and smiling. \"Where is the City Lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang stared at his legs for a long time, then looked at A-Nuo, and finally shook her head with a smile. \"I killed him. Commander Chen can go and check, Xu Bingkun is full of demon energy, and has practiced very deeply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinnian arched his hands and went in the direction Shen Tang pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he brought back Xu Bingkun’s corpse. Without him saying, everyone around with discerning eyes could see that the demon energy remaining on Xu Bingkun’s corpse was rich, and even hair grew on his hands...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinnian looked at Shen Tang with deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Bingkun died with all his bones shattered, which was the impact of an extremely strong and domineering cultivation method, not like the flying sword style Shen Tang showed before. But he didn't say anything in the end, just sighed. \"It seems this matter can be closed. Xu Bingkun coveted the demon cultivation method, raised demons, and killed Huo Sixth Young Master. Ten thousand people saw it, there is no doubt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao carried the demon corpse back, somewhat tired. \"Not bad, I also have a recording, the evidence is solid. Please ask the Alchemy Division to issue a demon cultivation test report on the City Lord’s corpse, and submit it to the capital together with my evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinnian nodded. \"It should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao’s gaze fell on A-Nuo’s face, and seeing that A-Nuo seemed to be fine, she was somewhat pleasantly surprised. \"Nothing happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo smiled sweetly. \"Beautiful sister is really good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao glared at her angrily, and looked at Lu Xingzhou, wanting to say something but stopping. \"Forget it, it’s fine. I’ll talk to you in detail tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This night was destined to be sleepless in Xiazhou. The people who watched the shocking changes to their heart’s content left with different thoughts, discussing all the way. In the end, only Lu Xingzhou’s master and apprentice and Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli were left in the field, two pairs of people pushing two wheelchairs, walking slowly in the night alleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou gave Dugu Qingli a pill first, somewhat apologetically. \"Sorry, just now I was attracted by A-Nuo’s situation, and forgot that Miss Qingli was also injured... This pill has some effect on treating internal injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shook her head. \"Sword cultivators slay demons, injury is a common thing. But it’s just some internal injury from the counter-shock, I’ll just meditate myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you chose such an intense method to help me, otherwise you wouldn't have to take such a risk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli thought about it and felt it was indeed the case, so she took the pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou then turned to Shen Tang. \"I seem to have done something superfluous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang laughed. \"It may not be superfluous, mutual corroboration is true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two smiled at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou deliberately let Huo Yu call out in public that it was Xu Bingkun who raised the demon, and Shen Tang deliberately forced Xu Bingkun to use the demon cultivation method before killing him, leaving corpse evidence. The purpose of both sides was the same. In fact, as long as there is one, this matter can basically achieve the effect, especially Lu Xingzhou’s operation has some risks, and it is indeed unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Xingzhou didn't know Shen Tang would do this... The two didn't discuss it at all, but they did it together unintentionally, nailing Xu Bingkun’s crimes to death, making the aftermath almost disappear. Of course, Lu Xingzhou’s operation is not without benefits, this threw the pot of Huo Yu’s death clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli chewed the pill, and Sheng Yuanyao’s evaluation flashed in her heart: mistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed with Shen Tang every day, and couldn't understand how these two could be so synchronized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang added. \"So if you had laid your cards on the table with us earlier and discussed it, things would have been much easier to do, and you wouldn't need to contact the Yama Hall... Still think you’re so smart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this tone become like training a husband... Lu Xingzhou coughed dryly. \"Xu Bingkun’s injury doesn't look like the result of a sword cultivator. Until now, I don't know Shen girl’s mystery, can we really discuss everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang smiled lightly. \"Before you set my secrets, you’d better figure out the changes in A-Nuo. My business... there will be a time to find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2094,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e6742c088079978371ae987d452f0268e1e8097262788a86b6e8a578f6ac6eec","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-28","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-26",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
