I Don't Want To Defy The Heavens

The people of Jiang City panicked.

Last night Wang Manor was wiped out, and this morning they noticed that Zhou Manor was cleaned out too.

Some people spread rumors that evil demons had come to Jiang City and that everyone was going to die.

No one would believe them if it happened in the past.

But it was different now. Many believed they all thought that evil demons did it.

Some courageous people had seen the corpses. They were terrifying, their blood was sucked dry, their chests burst apart, and their organs were all gone.

Huang Manor.

“Father, the city is in a mess. Wang Family and Zhou Family were killed in a night; they died terrifyingly. Do you think it is the Chen Family?” Huang Boren asked.

One couldn’t blame him for thinking that way.

Old Master Chen had died for a short time, and the merchants in the city started to snatch Chen Family’s businesses. Since they were forced to such an extent, it was highly probable for them to attack and kill.

Cough cough!

Old Master Huang coughed, “No, it is Yin Demons.”

The moment he said Yin Demon, Old Master Huang had a look of terror in his eyes. Like he hadn’t recovered from the attack that year.

Huang Boren was foreign towards Yin Demons; he even didn’t hear about them at all.

“Didn’t you always ask me why my body would become like that? It isn’t an illness, but when I was a merchant then, I met a Yin Demon. They clung to the human body and sucked blood and ate meat. People who were stared at had to die.”

“I was lucky and met someone. He was Zhang Tianshan; he saved me. I repaid him and rented Martial Path Mountain to him for 700 silver a year.”

Martial Path Mountain wasn’t small. Someone with a brain if they used it well, would be able to earn 5 thousand silver a year.

But what made Old Master Huang helpless was that Zhang Tianshan had no brain and didn’t develop it. He even went towards the bad direction and went bankrupt.

This was the reason why Old Master Huang didn’t chase him to pay even when he went bankrupt.

“Ah?” Huang Boren opened his mouth, “That person that couldn’t be trusted who ran without paying?”

He didn’t believe it.

Such a person actually had such ability.

“Head to Martial Path Mountain to search for Zhang Tianshan and get him to help. If it is Yin Demons, Huang Family isn’t safe either.” Old Master Huang said.

Huang Boren nodded his head; he only knew that the methods used to wipe out the two families were really cruel. As for Yin Demons, he hadn’t seen them before, so he had no idea.

Chen Shengyao was rattled.

Wang Family yesterday, Zhou Family today.

How were they killed?

Although he felt good, he was afraid whether or not his Chen Family would be attacked. If they were, then what should he do?

City gate.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove into the city.

At this moment, someone opened his blinds. He saw many people leave and were curious, “Ask if something happened in the city. Why are there so many people leaving?”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Very quickly, that person returned.

“Young Master I asked and found out that two murders occurred in the city, two rich families were wiped out by someone. They died badly, and some people suspect that demons have entered, so they wanted to leave.” The person who said that was middle-aged, his eyes were energetic like eagles, his brows were white, white like snow.

“To the magistrate.” The voice inside was calm, but his tone was a little weird.

The Jiang City official system was fake. The Imperial City established magistrates in cities apart from border cities like You City to maintain law and order.

But Jiang City was too far from Imperial City, so their system was just useless.

They were pretty much-held hostage by the rich aristocratic families.

The system didn’t decide matters that concerned the families, but they asked the families how to handle it.

Very quickly, the carriage came to the official manor.

The people got off. He looked really handsome and gave off a noble aura.

“This is the Official Manor?” Xiao Qi couldn’t believe his eyes. If not because of the words on the door, he didn’t dare to believe it.

It was broken, really broken.

How was it going to establish the strength and power of the Official System, how could they spread the power of the Imperial Family?

The white-browed male said, “Young Master, this should be it.”

Xiao Qi’s face turned cold as he walked in. There were no guards; he didn’t even see a single person when he entered.

“Who are you? Why did you come?” A middle-aged male holding a vegetable basket asked.

“Who are you?” Xiao Qi asked.

The male said, “I am Jiang City Prefect. What do you all want?”

Xiao Qi was lazy to speak, hooking his pinky at the white-browed male behind him, “Make him kneel to talk to me.”

The white-browed male took out a token and passed it to the Jiang City Prefect.

“This…” Just as the Jiang City Prefect wanted to ask what was going on, he was stunned, his vegetable basket even fell to the ground. He knelt, “Jiang City Perfect Zhu Niancheng greets His Royal Highness.”

His forehead was covered in sweat.

Oh my god.

His Royal Highness came to Jiang City, which was so far from the Imperial Capital.

Xiao Qi scoffed coldly, “Are you even a Prefect? You look more like a chef.”

Zhu Niancheng groaned, he teared up in pain and cried, “His Royal Highness, I have my problems. I came to Jiang City for ten years and wanted to do well. Who knew that there were so many aristocratic families, and after a few days, I was just a puppet.”

“Trash.” Xiao Qi wanted to kick this Perfect to death.

An official appointed by the royal family ended up like that.

“Young Master, let’s look at those corpses first.” The white-browed male reminded.

Xiao Qi asked, “I heard that several deaths happened these two days, especially two families were wiped out. Where are the corpses?”

“His Royal Highness, please follow me.” Zhu Niancheng panicked.

Those corpses were shipped back to the manor.

These things had to be recorded so that there were clues when they opened the case in the future.

Where the bodies were examined,

There was a smell before one entered, which made one stop and not want to enter.

“Young Master, let me enter.” The white-haired man said.

“It is okay; let’s go together.” Xiao Qi said.

As the crown prince, he was someone who loved to show his strength. This trip was a private one in hopes of achieving something. He also heard about King Wutong revolting. He hoped to find some clues to killing those who supported King Wutong without disturbing King Wutong at all.

He felt like he needed to investigate when such a thing occurred in Jiang City.

At this moment, even if he wore a mask, the smell made one feel sour.

Within the room,

Many corpses were placed around.

When the white-browed male saw them, he frowned. He had some clues in his heart, but he wasn’t sure. He nodded towards His Royal Highness and started to check what was going on.

He hoped to be able to find some clues on the corpses.

He walked towards one of the corpses, putting on his gloves and said, “They are dried up; there is no drop of blood in the bodies at all. All of them have been sucked dry.”

“Their organs are all gone, and there are only some remaining fragments.”

“Their chests cracked open; it seems like they were ripped from the inside.”

Slowly the white-browed male stopped speaking as he had thought about something.

He changed to another corpse and another.

He walked beside Xiao Qi, “Young Master, it is Yin Demons, it is.”

Xiao Qi found it weird. With his age naturally, he hadn’t seen Yin Demons. But the books had records, which was why he was very familiar with their existence.

However, how would there be Yin Demons here in Jiang City?

Forget it.

No matter why or not?

At least he was here now.

The white-browed male said, “Young Master, this is problematic. We don’t have enough people and can’t handle them.”

“En.” Xiao Qi didn’t say anything and asked, “Are there any sects nearby?”

Zhu Niancheng said, “Yes, yes, on Martial Path Mountain nearby.”

Martial Path Mountain secret room.

This place was called a secret room by Lin Fan. Although he didn’t know why Zhang Tianxian dug this, this wasn’t important anymore now.

Cough cough!

Lin Fan stepped on the black brick and walked in. The 16 Yin Demons were locked there and struggled, but they weren’t able to escape.

“You all might not understand me, but don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. At most, I will cut your five limbs, I won’t go too far.”

Rage Points +222.

Rage Points +333.

…

Rage points came in a really stable manner. There were no fluctuations, and they just jumped between 222 to 333.

The Yin Demons that were captured were furious, and they wanted to roar out.

You bastard.

Are you still human?

To dare to offend Yin Demons, did he not know how scary they were?

“Human, I recommend you to release us; if not, it won’t be any good for you either.” At this moment, a Yin Demon said.

He and other Yin Demons were different as he could speak. He wasn’t that Yin Demon that only ground his teeth and knew how to be fierce.

Although most of the black mist around him had scattered, the remaining ones were still much more than other Yin Demons.

Yin Demon said, “Although I don’t know who you are, what is your goal for keeping us here, quickly, we….”

“Ah!”

Lin Fan calmly stabbed his blade towards that Yin Demon.

Rage Points +888.

Rage Points +333.

…

This wave of rage points was good.

He only thought about getting rage points and didn’t care about anything else.

He pulled it out; there was black blood on it. The Yin Demon’s stomach had thin threads of lightning about which tortured it.

He noticed that the Yin Demon could make cuts.

He was actually cut so badly and still didn’t die.

Would they die when they were sliced into dozens of pieces and had their heads chopped off?

The surrounding Yin Demons struggled like this Yin Demon had a high status, so they were angry. They gritted their tooth and roared in rage.

Puchi!

Lin Fan stabbed once more.

The Yin Demon that Lin Fan stabbed had a high status.

But he cursed in his heart.

He didn’t even speak, so why did he stab him?

Those Yin Demons continued to roar.

“Continue, and I will continue stabbing.” Lin Fan said.

Si!

Those Yin Demons seemed to have understood, but they still continued to roar in rage at Lin Fan.

The Yin Demon, who was being stabbed, was cursing in his heart.

Could they just stop?

He was the one being stabbed and not them.
