Chapter 256 Ziwei Sword Sain (2/2)

The bailiffs who stood guard were tardy as there had not been much going on at the county hall.

When the sky started drizzling, the two bailiffs left the door ajar and started snacking on peanuts and liquor to pass time.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open and the two bailiffs almost choked on their peanuts.

They were enraged as they wondered who had the guts to barge into the county hall.

A young man in white stood at the door, and he held a folding fan in his hands. He looked so charming that not even the male descendants of the noble families in this town could rival his charms.

Despite that he barged in rudely, the bailiffs knew better than to offend him. ”May I know what are you here for? Do you have a business card with you?” One of the bailiffs asked.

The young man in white would be Yanxu. He looked around at the courtyard of the county hall and smiled, ”Indeed, this is the pivotal point of the town. This will do.”

He walked in without so much as looking at the two bailiffs.

The two of them were not about to stand by and to do nothing. They walked towards Yanxu.

However, the peanuts in their hands started popping up and attacked their companion. The peanuts landed right on their respective skulls and formed a huge bloody hole in it.

After sprinkling the liquor, Yanxu created a spark and set those two on fire. Within moments, they had turned into ashes.

Yanxu did not even pause as he did all of those. He proceeded forward and headed into the hall.

Magistrate Chen was reading in the hall when Yanxu barged in. ”Who are you? How did you get in?” He asked.

”Head down now,” Yanxu smiled.

He pointed at Magistrate Chen and brought a breeze in front of him. Just as the breeze was about to fetch him away from his seat in the hall, Magistrate Chen roared. A string of words started flowing out from the top of his head and they shone brightly with a white ray. The breeze could not move him, not even an inch.

Yanxu smiled coldly. He did not expect to run into a true scholar here.

Yanxu immediately turned into a virtual shadow and appeared right in front of Magistrate Chen. With a press of his hand, all of the righteousness and glaring white ray disappeared without a trace.

Magistrate Chen could feel malicious Qi rushing in from the top of his head. He shivered. He felt as though he was falling through layers of clouds and ended up on the main street.

A lot of the people recognized Magistrate Chen and started getting closer to watch. Some even helped him up.

Good thing that Yanxu did not plan to take his life, which was the only reason why Magistrate Chen survived his fall.

However, black air started rushing out around town and monsters started to manifest. The monster with the body of a snake and the head of a human came first, and it was followed by the monster with the body of a human and the head of a bird. There were even snakes with four feet and birds with two heads amongst many other weirdly-shaped monsters. All of them charged towards the main street.

Some of the stronger men were brave and they started battling against the monsters. However, it did not take long for them to be defeated. In the end, they all shivered and fell into a slumber.

The monsters infested the streets and all of the residents were suffering.

A lot of vendors did not dare to continue their businesses.

Coupled with Magistrate Chen's experience, everyone knew that a demonic god had come to Yuguan Town.

If it was mere thieves and burglars, the soldiers would still be able to handle them. However, when it came to a demonic god who was skilled in supernatural powers and techniques, only a Dao Master could handle the situation.

Magistrate Chen had never been one to subscribe to these sorts of tales and fables. However, when faced with a situation as such, there was nothing he can do but to coordinate the efforts to invite any Dao Masters nearby. However, batches of monks and Daoist were thrown out within ten minutes after they entered into the town hall. It was as though they had all gone crazy and were incapable of normal speech.

Luckily, the monsters did nothing more than disturbing the residents. No one was killed. Most people had since moved out of town. Even then, the monsters still made their way out of town and caused disturbance to the residences.

It was until the third day that everyone realized that the monsters would go anywhere and everywhere, save for one place – the temple of the Goddess of Grains. Initially, everyone wanted to deal with these rogue monsters by seeking help from Dao Masters. When they noticed this phenomenon, they finally realized that the Goddess of Grains could do more than saving the people from the hardships of life – she could protect them as well.

Someone suggested for Magistrate Chen to lead everyone to invite the Goddess of Grains, so that she could help remove the demons in town and return peace to Yuguan Town once again.

Little did they know that their course of action was exactly what Yanxu had wanted!

In the temple, Qi Sanguang was frowning as he spoke to the statue, ”They want to invite your help to deal with the demon, what are we going to do now?”
