Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

Why at the same time?

In Shanyang City, the wolf demon Qingdong massacred the city on the night of the full moon, and Shanyin City was also invaded by a large number of demons.

Is this just a coincidence?

Lu Ren looked at the vague outline of the county in the distance and shook his head solemnly.

Now is not the time to think about these.

In any case, Shanyin County is the starting point of his coming to this world and can be regarded as his hometown.

Lu Ren would never watch such a large county being slaughtered and killed by demons.

He took a deep breath and immediately performed the fifth stage of"Phantom Steps".

The next moment, his figure disappeared in the mountains and forests, turning into a series of erratic afterimages, as if he had completely merged with the air...........

Not long after, Lu Ren arrived at the gate of Shanyin County, which he was very familiar with.

However, what surprised him was that the scene here was very different from what he had imagined.

Originally, he thought he would witness a horrible, bloody, hellish scene.

But what appeared before his eyes at this moment was a peaceful and tranquil scene.

Below the city gate, several soldiers guarding the city were meticulously conducting routine inspections of the people entering and leaving the city.

Among the people waiting in line, there were porters carrying heavy loads, hardworking vegetable farmers, and women wearing simple clothes holding their young children.........

Lu Ren's five senses were extremely sensitive. Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could still clearly hear the conversations and laughter coming from the crowd.

These scenes full of fireworks were like a vivid and lively painting in front of him, outlining the various beings in the world and presenting the most realistic life style of ordinary people.

He couldn't help but slow down his pace and walked slowly towards the city gate. His doubts became more and more serious.

Since Shanyin City had not suffered any changes, why did it receive an emergency distress signal from the Demon Suppression Bureau?

This question lingered in his mind like a fog, leaving him puzzled.

At this moment, a soldier guarding the city seemed to have discovered him.

To be more precise, he should have noticed the sharp blade flashing with cold light in his hand.

Lu Ren looked at the soldier and instantly caught a hint of alertness in the other's eyes.

He immediately understood and quickly inserted the long sword into the scabbard and hung it around his waist.

" Stop! What are you doing?" The soldiers guarding the city stopped him and asked solemnly.

Lu Ren hesitated for a moment and did not directly reveal his true identity. Instead, he made up an excuse:"I came to Shanyin County to visit a friend."

"Visiting a friend?" The soldiers guarding the city looked Lu Ren up and down and questioned:"Who would go to visit a friend and bring a knife?"

Lu Ren explained:"When traveling alone, you always need a self-defense weapon with you."

Then he asked tentatively:"My friend told me that demons often appear here, but I didn't see any demons along the way?"

"I don't know."The garrison waved his hand impatiently:"Hurry up and leave. Don't cause trouble after entering the city."

Lu Ren frowned, said nothing, walked straight through the city gate, and returned to the familiar Shanyin County.

A kind of cordial feeling came over him, which relieved his tense and depressed mood in the past few days.

However, he did not forget the purpose of this trip.

Although the city is peaceful, the matter of the distress signal must be investigated clearly.

Since Lin Jinyan left, it is said that the Demon Suppression Division has seamlessly connected and sent a new Demon Suppression Guard to garrison.

So the first thing he did after entering the city was to go straight to the Demon Suppression Division's base.

But halfway through, Lu Ren suddenly thought of a problem.

The villa where Lin Jinyan lived was actually bought in her personal name.

In other words, that place is her private residence.

The new Demon Suppression Guard must have... They will not occupy the old place, but will look for a new location.

So Lu Ren randomly found a shop owner along the street to ask.

As expected, the base of the Demon Suppression Division was moved to a place across the street from the county government office.

He quickly found it under the guidance of passers-by.

This courtyard is obviously not as luxurious as Lin Jinyan's private residence, but it is still acceptable and not too shabby.

After all, Shanyin County is just a small county town. The money earned by the Demon Suppression Guard from hunting down a demon in the transformation period is enough to buy a property here.

However, the Demon Suppression Division has always had strict rules and generally does not allow its subordinates to be too ostentatious and extravagant. Lin Jinyan is just an exception.

When he arrived at the door, Lu Ren knocked gently.

A servant came and opened the door.

""Who are you?" He looked at Lu Ren in confusion.

Lu Ren showed his four-star badge and said,"I'm here to see your master."

The servant hesitated for a moment and said,"My master is out. What do you want to see him for?"

For some reason, Lu Ren felt that the scene in front of him was familiar.

When he first visited Lin Jinyan, he was also turned away.

Is his luck so bad?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression became complicated.

"You said your parents are out?"

"Yes." The servant nodded and said,"It's been almost an hour since we left."

"Where did he go?"Lu Ren asked.

Could it be that this person encountered danger when he was out, so he set off the distress signal in a hurry?

But when he found the signal, he clearly saw that it was sent from the county town.

Could it be that.........The danger is in the city?

The servant whispered,"Master Zhang He has gone to the county government office."

"The county government? What was he doing there?"

"The county magistrate sent someone to invite them. They probably want to get to know each other and have a simple meal."

Lu Ren thought about it and it made sense.

The Shanyin County magistrate was transferred here by the governor himself, and the demon-suppressing guard named Zhang He had just arrived here.

Both parties were new here, so if they had to meet, they could just say hello to each other if they needed anything in the future.

"Didn’t your adults say when they would be back?"

""No." The servant shook his head.

Lu Ren hesitated for a moment, and did not choose to go in for tea and wait, but went straight to the direction of the county government office.

He had to find out the truth about the distress signal as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the county government office, Lu Ren showed his identity and stated his purpose.

After the officer went in to report, he got the permission of the county magistrate Wang Min.

""Sir Lu, County Magistrate Wang invites you in for a chat."

Lu Ren nodded, adjusted his clothes, and after making sure they were decent, he slowly walked into the county government office.

Led by the officers, he came to the backyard.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Two people were sitting opposite each other at a stone table, drinking and chatting.

One of them had an elegant and kind face, wearing a clean official uniform.

The other was a young man with a heroic spirit.

"Lord Wang, Lord Lu is here."

Wang Min and Zhang He cast their eyes on Lu Ren at the same time.

Then, Wang Min was the first to stand up and greet him.

His eyes lingered on Lu Ren's waist for a moment, and then he smiled and said,"Lord Lu, we meet again."

""Again?" Lu Ren looked puzzled.

Wang Min laughed and explained,"Lord Lu is really a forgetful person. Didn't you and I meet once on the street on the day I took office?"

Lu Ren naturally remembered it.

But he didn't expect that Wang Min, a busy county magistrate, could still remember himself who was among thousands of people at that time.

Perhaps seeing his confusion, Wang Min explained,"Lord Lu has an extraordinary appearance. Although I only saw him briefly, he left a great impression on me.

I thought you were a young master of a certain family, but I didn't expect you to be a demon-suppressing guard. It's true that heroes emerge from young people!"

""Lord Wang, you are too kind." Lu Ren responded politely, and then took a deep look at Zhang He standing behind Wang Min.

This man should be only a few years older than him, and his eyebrows carried a unique temperament of killing and decisiveness that was unique to the Demon Suppression Guard.

Wang Min was thoughtful and guessed that Lu Ren might have come to find Zhang He on purpose, so he found an excuse to leave the backyard, leaving only the two of them.

""Are you Lu Ren?" Zhang He spoke first.

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes slightly:"Do you know me?"

"I don't know you, but the information in the Demon Suppression Division spreads very quickly, and I have heard about some of your deeds."

"Oh?" Lu Ren asked with a smile:"For example?""

"For example, you have a close relationship with Lin Jinyan, and you were promoted to four stars the day after you joined the Demon Suppression Division. I also know that you took on a mission that many lieutenants dared not take."

Lu Ren looked a little surprised.

He knew that the Demon Suppression Division was very sensitive to news, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

Shanyin County is hundreds of miles away from the county town. Zhang He is guarding this place, but he knows everything that happened in the county town.

It must be said that the intelligence network of the Demon Suppression Division is really amazing.

""Sit down." Zhang He stretched out his hand and made a"please" gesture.

He seemed to regard himself as the host and Lu Ren as a guest from afar.

Lu Ren responded and sat in the seat that Wang Min had occupied before.
