I can't be a demon

Even though the hundred-year-old demon is vulnerable to Shen Lian, the Sixth Yuan Dan Realm is only the Sixth Yuan Dan Realm after all, and the differences in realms cannot be erased.

"There must be something wrong with Wang Baoping, so it's better to strike first."

Shen Lian half-closed his eyes, looking ready to make a move.

Yuan Chaozhong broke into a cold sweat and quickly reminded: "Master Shen, Wang Baoping has been stationed in Nujiang Town for 20 or 30 years. He is deeply entangled with the local forces. A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake..."

He didn't know much about Wang Baoping, he only knew that the latter had been promoted to the seventh realm of Dao Ying for a hundred years.

If Wang Baoping hadn't suffered a fundamental injury in Tongtian River forty years ago, he would never have been able to live in this small place in Nujiang Town.

Yuan Chaozhong has seen Shen Lian's strength, which is indeed far beyond the same level.

But Wang Baoping is in the seventh realm of Dao Ying after all. There is a big difference between the two of them. If they are not careful, they may die.

"Master Shen, Wang Baoping may not dare to offend Ma Wanhu. We just need to be careful to avoid a big fight."

"It's not that I want to cause trouble. People may not be willing to let you and me go."

Shen Lian knew that they represented Ma Wanhu. If Wang Baoping found some kind of opportunity in the Nu River, the two parties would already have a conflict of interest and it would be impossible for them to live in peace.

"Yuan Chaozhong, if you don't want to get into trouble, leave Nujiang Town as soon as possible..."

Before Shen Lian finished speaking, a smell of rotten fish suddenly poured into his nose, causing his body and soul to feel inexplicable discomfort.

"Secret Technique, Wang Baoping really can't wait."

The inner elixir of Yun Ling shimmered, and the slightly strange body and soul returned to normal.

Yuan Chaozhong and others were unable to resist the secret technique. Before they could react, their bodies and souls were unconsciously affected by the secret technique.

Their expressions were in a trance, and they mechanically drove the carriage to the Yamen.

"It seems that there really is a cave at the bottom of the Nu River. How much does Wang Baoping want to be a disciple of the Immortal Family?"

Shen Lian did not interrupt the secret technique to avoid disturbing the situation.

His heartbeat stopped, and his exposed aura became faintly visible. He sneaked into the Yamen first, while the myna flew to the eaves to let out the wind.

Normally, there are at least three Jinwu guards guarding Nujiang Town, but except for Wang Baoping, the rest of the Jinwu guards were missing.

Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the wall majestically.

It didn't take long.

Yuan Chaozhong and others came to the Yamen.

The government servants who led the way were silent and did not dare to contact them, for fear of offending Wang Baoping and suffering unreasonable disaster.

They crossed a cobblestone path and the backyard came into view.

The backyard of the Yamen was originally supposed to be a prison for prisoners, but Shen Lian noticed that most of the buildings had been knocked down and rebuilt.

It became like the mansion of a wealthy businessman.

Elegant bamboo forest, rugged rockery, and a pond next to the courtyard wall.

Wang Baoping was in the wooden pavilion next to the pond. He looked thin and frail, and seemed to be one of the few unlucky people in Nujiang Town.

Yuan Chaozhong woke up and realized that he was possessed by a secret technique.

"Keep waiting, my colleagues. I am Wang Baoping of Thousand Households in Nujiang Town."

Wang Baoping looked at everyone, motioned Yuan Chaozhong and the three Jinwu guards to come forward, and then showed what he thought was a kind smile.

"I'm sorry, you can also see that during the emergency period in Nujiang Town, foreigners entering and exiting the town must be inspected more carefully, which is why we came up with this policy."

Yuan Chaozhong looked around, but did not find Shen Lian's figure. The panic in his heart eased, and he quickly dealt with Wang Baoping.

"Mr. Wang, we are mainly concerned with getting started in the reserve force, no..."

"Come, let's talk in the pavilion."

Wang Baoping made an invitation gesture, but no one moved, "Don't be nervous, I don't have any evil intentions, it's just business."

Yuan Chaozhong was still facing a formidable enemy, and Wang Baoping definitely didn't want them to spread the word about the situation in Nujiang Town. If Shen Lian hadn't broken free from the secret technique that disturbed people's minds, no one would have been spared.

Buy some time.

It wasn't until Shen Lian contacted the court and sent manpower to Nujiang Town that there was a glimmer of hope.

Wang Baoping said softly: "I remember it was Ma Wanhu last time, but now his body and soul are seriously injured and he is in retreat. I wonder which Lord Wanhu will take his place?"

Yuan Chaozhong hesitated and replied: "Mr. Wang, I really don't know the details. After all, we can't reach the level of ten thousand households..."

He secretly estimated that there were thousands of households guarding Dechang Town, two hundred miles away.

If Qianhu immediately set off to escape to Nujiang Town, they can reach there in one day and one night at most.

"Master Wang." Ten households named He Tao pushed Yuan Chaozhong away and rushed to say: In fact, the imperial court did not send Wan Hu at all. "

Yuan Chaozhong secretly said that it was terrible, He Tao's smart behavior was simply seeking death.

"It's impossible. The imperial court attaches so much importance to Nujiang Town. Even if Ma Wanhu is delayed due to injury, there should be another Wanhu to take over."

Just when Yuan Chaozhong was about to speak, He Tao continued to add: "That person...is called Shen Lian."

"Let's be more specific. After we figure out the cause and effect, I can let you leave Nujiang Town. The secrets involved are not accessible to you."

He Tao licked his lips and replied: "He was originally from... a hundred households in the Yanshan area. His strength is unrivaled in the Six Realms of Yuan Dan."

"Hundred households?"

Wang Baoping's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he reached out and patted He Tao on the shoulder.

"Why did the Sixth Realm of Yuandan intervene in the Nujiang case? You don't think I'm joking, right? Haha, there are hundreds of households in the Sixth Realm of Yuandan."

"Don't, don't, don't kill me. Shen Lian said he was appointed by Ma Wanhu."

"Think again."

"Don't kill me, Mr. Wang, I definitely didn't lie."

He Tao was trembling all over, and fish scales grew on his robes. The robes gradually turned into living creatures, trapping him inside.

The others were horrified.

He Tao fell to the ground and kept struggling. His eyes inadvertently looked at a corner of the courtyard. He didn't know when a familiar figure appeared.

"He...he is Shen Lian. Lord Wang, don't kill me. He is Shen Lian."

Yuan Chaozhong looked in the direction He Tao pointed. Shen Lian was standing by the pond, looking at the seven or eight koi in the water with a subtle expression.

The backyard was silent.

Including Wang Baoping, no one expected Shen Lian to appear in the government office.

"Wang Baoping, your secret technique can actually turn people into koi. Haha, the two centurions I sent to Nujiang Town are in the pond, right?"

While Shen Lian was speaking, He Tao had turned into a palm-sized silver-scaled koi.

"Only you?"

Wang Baoping was stunned. No matter how many times he scanned Shen Lian with his spiritual sense, he was only at the sixth level of Yuandan, and he was not even an internal cultivator.

"Ma San sent you to Nujiang Town? He sent you a Yuandan warrior?"

Shen Lian checked the koi carp by himself, and his brows eased.

The koi carp was not irreversibly special. There were living people sealed in their stomachs, but some of them were close to death.

"Come."

Shen Lian took out the ghost gourd and shook it, and the koi carp and the pond water poured into the internal space.

After the ghost gourd was promoted to a magic weapon, although it could not store living things, the physique of the Jinwu Guard would not be cut off in a short time.

"Magic weapon?!!"

Wang Baoping opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes showed a strong greed.

The magic weapon that even alchemists may not have appeared in the hands of Yuandan warriors. There is nothing more ridiculous than this in the world.

"I don't know how lucky you are, but you should understand the principle that a man is innocent but a person with a treasure is guilty. You should be aware of the fact that you are a bait."

Before Wang Baoping finished speaking, he saw Shen Lian take a step with his right foot.

Boom.

The water in the pool backflowed and the ground was torn apart.

An irresistible terrifying force burst out. In an instant, Wang Baoping had lost the trace of Shen Lian, and the threat of death was like a shadow.

Yuan Chaozhong then saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

The monster, which was more than seven meters long, was suspended in the air. Its whole body had the characteristics of a real dragon, but it also revealed the fierceness of a demon, especially the five blood-red eyes on its forehead and the white bone spine on its back.

Yuan Chaozhong suddenly realized why Shen Lian took over the Nujiang case.

The alchemist must be the alchemist! ! !

Otherwise, who can tell me what the inhuman monster in front of me is? Could it be the so-called Yuandan warrior mentioned by Wang Baoping?

The skeleton swung its spine and the pavilion was split in half.

Wang Baoping dodged in a panic, with a deep bone-deep wound on his chest and abdomen, and his deformed and horrible internal organs vaguely visible.

Although there was indeed nothing special about his appearance, his internal organs were actually on the verge of collapse.
