After a night of fighting, only when the Wenxiang Sect completely retreated did the bold people dare to go out.

Lin Wenzheng died, and now the highest official in the court in Heishi County is Zhang Tianyang.

Of course, there are still Lin Zhubu and others in the county government, but Zhang Tianyang is not a constable in Heishi County, but a captain of the Demon-Slaying Division.

The Demon-Slaying Division has no rank, but even the lowest-level Xuanjia Guards of the Demon-Slaying Division must cooperate with the county magistrate.

He asked people to clean up the corpses and sent soldiers to patrol and maintain order in the county. After doing these two things, Zhang Tianyang went into seclusion to recuperate.

There was still a big hole in his chest, and the evil demon heart could be seen directly.

This demon heart can continuously devour blood and qi to repair Zhang Tianyang's missing flesh and blood.

There are not many resources in Heishi County, and Chen Baiqing's Shenghetang spiritual medicine is not enough, but he barely gathered some medicinal baths to restore the strength of Zhang Tianyang and Han Zheng.

Zhang Tianyang was seriously injured, and Han Zheng was not too light either.

Fighting with Yuan Longshan also caused Han Zheng to break his arm and damage his internal organs, and he also needed to rest and recover for a few days.

On the Song family side, Han Zheng only found Jiang Tai and told him that he wanted to wipe out the entire Song family. Jiang Tai would contact Qiu Tianying to divide the Song family.

Jiang Tai is now a little afraid of Han Zheng.

At the beginning, Han Zheng needed to join forces with him to kill Pang Heihu.

But now ordinary warriors in the late stage of innateness can't resist a few moves in Han Zheng's hands. This speed of practice is simply too terrifying.

However, after destroying the Song family, those shops are indeed enviable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sanhe Gang was also seriously damaged in this battle, Jiang Tai didn't even want to join forces with Qiu Tianying, and wanted to swallow the Song family himself.

After instructing Jiang Tai to do these things, Han Zheng began to enter the medicinal bath to repair his injuries.

After recovering, Han Zheng immediately entered the Taotie furnace to practice a wave, and improved the proficiency of the martial arts he got.

The martial arts of Xuangang Realm are not as easy to accumulate proficiency as those of acquired and innate martial arts.

The true meaning of martial arts is more profound, and the essence is more difficult to comprehend. Han Zheng needs to enter the Taotie furnace to practice hard, and combine it with actual combat to achieve perfection.

Now Han Zheng will first improve his proficiency to a certain extent, which can also significantly increase his combat power.

There is also the Song family's Heavenly Sword that he just got, and he must practice it to perfection before he can break through.

Anyway, Han Zheng is now full of food and can squander some of it.

After killing Yuan Longshan, Han Zheng now has a total of 18,400 points of food.

Han Zheng directly took out 5,000 points and put them into the furnace for practice.

When practicing the Dragon Elephant Prison Power, a prehistoric dragon elephant stepped on the Nine Prisons and suppressed the evil ghosts with the power of the sky.

When practicing the Great Vajra King Seal, the Vajra King made a seal in anger to crush all the evil in the world.

When practicing the Nine Transformations of the Ape Demon, the ancient ape demon moved the giant mountain. It was not only the shape of the mountain that was moved, but also the mountain range and the mountain soul.

When practicing the Heavenly Sword Technique, a shadowy figure practiced the most primitive and simple sword technique, but each move seemed to be all-encompassing, and the truth of the sword was contained in it.

The true meaning of the martial arts of these techniques was vividly displayed in front of Han Zheng, allowing him to comprehend, absorb, and digest them at will.

Five thousand days later, Han Zheng came out of the Taotie furnace, and his body exuded a layer of obvious sharpness, which dissipated after a while.

Then Han Zheng took a look at his current attributes.

[Name: Han Zheng

Cultivation: Innate Transformation Realm Middle Stage (Golden Muscle and Jade Meridian)

Martial Arts Techniques: Acquired Realm "Iron Elephant Skill" Perfected, Acquired Realm "Vajra Fist" Perfected, Acquired Realm "Blood Evil Sword Technique" Perfected.

The Xiantian Realm "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" is perfected, the Xiantian Realm "Vajra Demon Seal" is perfected, the Xiantian Realm "White Ape Tongbi Fist" is perfected, the Xiantian Realm "Blood Evil Shura Knife" proficiency is 60%, the Xiantian Realm "Heavenly Knife Secret Transmission First Volume" is perfected

The Xuangang Realm "Ape Demon Nine Transformations·Moving Mountains" proficiency is 30%, the Xuangang Realm "Dragon Elephant Prison Power" proficiency is 30%, the Xuangang Realm "Great Vajra King Seal" proficiency is 30%

Current state: lack of pain, lack of fear, abundant blood and qi]

After practicing to this state, Han Zheng did not want to continue to squander the satiety, and he had to save the remaining satiety for emergency use.

After this battle, Han Zheng knew the importance of keeping a trump card.

Han Zheng was really not in a hurry to practice.

His foundation is now unimaginably deep, and there is no need to waste satiety to break through the late Xiantian stage.

He got a lot of pills from Song Xingfeng. With Han Zheng's current foundation, he can refine pills without worrying about his foundation being weak. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through the late stage of the Xiantian realm.

As for the skills, the progress of the Blood Evil Shura Sword is too slow. This skill is most suitable for accumulating proficiency in fighting.

Although the Heavenly Sword Skill is perfect, it cannot be broken through.

Because this martial art is very special, it is necessary to comprehend the essence of the sword and integrate other martial arts to break through into a more powerful skill.

This is somewhat similar to the White Ape Tongbi Fist and the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Chart.

Only by combining the two and breaking through can it become a stronger Ape Demon Nine Changes.

Compared with the White Ape Tongbi Fist, the Heavenly Sword has many more possibilities.

For example, after Han Zheng comprehends the essence of the sword, he can integrate the Heavenly Sword and the Blood Evil Sword Skills to break through and turn it into a high-level sword skill containing the Blood Evil killing intent.

If Han Zheng obtains the martial arts of fire attribute in the later stage, he can also merge with the Heavenly Sword Skills to become a sword skill with flame attribute.

Although he was unable to break through, the Heavenly Sword Technique brought Han Zheng a huge boost in combat power.

Han Zheng's previous sword technique foundation was not comprehensive.

Li Jingzhong taught Han Zheng only the basics of weapons. The Blood Evil Sword Technique focuses on condensing blood evil, and the Blood Evil Shura Sword is even more extreme. The condensed blood evil also has murderous intent.

These two skills are not actually the sword technique itself, but the blood evil power attribute.

The Heaven Sword Sword Technique combines hardness and softness, and contains the essence of the sword. This is the martial arts that can really greatly improve the realm of swordsmanship.

Han Zheng took out the Heaven Demon Blood Pill and took a look at it, and then took it back.

This thing almost represents the top pill condensation method in the world, but it is not what Han Zheng can get now.

The Wind-Splitting King is a great demon in the Xuan Gang Realm. Han Zheng has no way to seize the Heaven Demon Treasure Tree from the Wind-Splitting King.

Before, Song Xingfeng wanted to seize the Heaven Demon Treasure Tree, so he should have prepared to gather the power of the entire Song family to steal it with some tricks.

And Yuan Longshan is much simpler. He just needs to kill the Wind-Splitting King and snatch it after getting the Heaven Demon Blood Pill.

Han Zheng has no power and no strength now. He can only wait until he is promoted to the Xuan Gang Realm before preparing to seize the Heavenly Demon Treasure Tree.

After recuperating for three days, Han Zheng just walked out of the county government office and found that Lin Zhubu was talking in front of Zhang Tianyang's house with a sad face.

"Master Zhang, you have to come out and manage it.

The Wenxiang Sect set fire and rioted in the city, burning a lot of supplies. Some people have been hungry for three days and can't bear it anymore.

The city is almost unable to suppress it now. I am worried that if it goes on like this, Heishi County will be in chaos again."

Lin Zhubu also looked helpless. If he had known that Heishi County was such a mess, he should have gone to Cangshan Sword Sect with his son.

Although Cangshan Sword Sect would not let his family members in, he has made a lot of money over the years and can live a comfortable life in the small town around Cangshan Sword Sect.

"Waste! You acted quickly when you were making money, but now you are used to do things, and you are not good at this or that."

Zhang Tianyang pushed the door out, his face still pale.

His injury was much more serious than Han Zheng's. Even with Chen Baiqing providing him with medicinal baths to heal his wounds, he still hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing Han Zheng, Zhang Tianyang pointed at him and said, "I have to hurry up to heal my wounds. Go and help Lin Zhubu solve the problem."

"Me?"

"You are also a member of the Demon-Slaying Division now. You have to take care of things, right?"

Han Zheng didn't resist, but squinted his eyes and asked, "Can I kill people?"

Zhang Tianyang knew what Han Zheng wanted to do by looking at his expression.

He smiled and said, "The Demon-Slaying Division system is independent of the court. Except for the emperor, even the first-rank officials or generals of the court are not qualified to command a lowest-level Demon-Slaying Division Xuanjia Guard.

On the contrary, if a place suddenly falls into chaos and has no leader, the Demon-Slaying Division has the right to take over the local situation and command all the court forces.

This is the situation in Heishi County now. Except for me, you are the biggest here. You can kill anyone you want."

Lin Zhubu's face suddenly changed and he shuddered.

Zhang Tianyang glanced at Lin Zhubu and said disdainfully: "Don't worry, although you are a corrupt official, you are still useful, so I won't kill you for the time being."

Lin Zhubu is indeed a corrupt official. To be more precise, there is no official in Heishi County who is not corrupt.

Even in the entire Great Zhou, corruption among grassroots officials has become a common phenomenon, and those who are not corrupt are a minority.

One reason for this situation is that the court's salary is too low.

The Great Zhou has been established for three thousand years, and the salary has not increased a few times, but prices have been soaring.

Officials' salaries are enough to eat and drink, but don't think about living too comfortably.

But if officials can't live a life of luxury, who would be willing to be an official? So it would be strange if they are not corrupt.

The second reason is that the court's control over the grassroots has been declining year by year. The imperial power does not go down to the county, and there is no supervision, so don't blame these grassroots officials for corruption.

But greed is greed, but there are differences between corrupt officials.

Some are greedy, cruel, stupid and incompetent.

Although some are greedy, they still have some ability, at least they can manage a place in an orderly manner.

Although Lin Zhubu is not very capable, he is familiar with government affairs.

The county magistrate does not care about things, and he handles all the big and small things in Heishi County. There have been no major problems before.

"Let's go, Lin Zhubu, Mr. Zhang needs to recover, so don't disturb him."

Han Zheng called Lin Zhubu to leave.

On the way, Lin Zhubu looked at Han Zheng's back and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

The last time he saw Han Zheng, he was just an apprentice in a martial arts school like his son Lin Qing.

The only difference is that his son entered a large sect like Cangshan Sword Sect to practice, while Han Zheng may have to waste his whole life in a small county like Heishi County.

As a result, after the turmoil of the Wenxiang Sect, they were directly spotted by the Demon Slayer Division and became a member of the court, and even he had to listen to his orders.

"Brother Han... Lord Han, where should we go now? How do we solve this problem?"

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "How do we solve it? It's simple.

Why do the people make trouble? Because of food shortage and hunger.

The people of our Great Zhou are actually the easiest to fool.

As long as you give them a full meal, they can endure even if you oppress them and treat them badly.

But if you don't even let them have a full meal, don't blame the people for eating you.

Now take the food and distribute it to the people, even if it's just a rye bun per person, they won't make trouble."
