Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

When Shen Lin returned to the county office, it was already late at night, but Master Qian was still there, not having gone home.

Not only him, but County Constable Hu, having received the news, had also rushed over and was waiting for Shen Lin.

"County Constable Hu! Master Qian! I didn't encounter any demons on this trip, but I did discover a demonic cultivator..."

After listening to Shen Lin's complete account of the events, County Constable Hu sighed and said, "Master Qian, tomorrow, immediately find someone to bring back the remains of those brothers and bury them properly. The county office should provide a generous pension to the families of those brothers."

After settling the affairs of the constables, County Constable Hu looked at Shen Lin with great satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad, you kid, you always bring me some surprises. First demons, and now a living demonic cultivator. But..."

He looked at the demonic cultivator, whose mouth was stuffed with rags and who was constantly wriggling, narrowed his eyes, and said, "This guy seems to be at the Opening Meridian Realm. How did you subdue him?"

Shen Lin had already had an idea in his mind. A hint of hesitation appeared on his face as he pretended and said, "Actually... when I was following Head Constable Sun to kill that nest of fox demons, I discovered a Meridian Opening Pill. Head Constable Sun was benevolent and not only gave it to me but also taught me his Meridian Opening secret technique. With this, I successfully opened my meridians and broke through to the Opening Meridian Realm."

Don't ask!

The answer is Head Constable Sun was benevolent!

Upon hearing this, Master Qian widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "You opened your meridians? You've only been a martial artist for how long??"

County Constable Hu wasn't as surprised as Master Qian.

The path from martial artist to the Opening Meridian Realm, although difficult, is actually most troubled by two points.

First, how to find and determine the meridians. If one's aptitude is not good, and one cannot sense the location of the meridians through practicing martial arts, one needs to use the Meridian Opening secret technique to reduce the difficulty.

And Shen Lin himself was already outstanding in aptitude, coupled with the Meridian Opening secret technique that Sun Zhi had previously obtained from the Demon Suppression Division, finding and determining the meridians was not difficult for him.

Second, opening up the blocked meridians, either requires spending a lot of time slowly impacting them with one's own Qi and blood, or using the medicinal power of the Meridian Opening Pill to open them up.

If what Shen Lin said was true, and he obtained the Meridian Opening Pill from that family of fox demons, then this hurdle was also just a formality for him.

It's just...

Sun Zhi, this guy, is really willing to part with it.

The Meridian Opening Pill is extremely precious to martial artists in the Opening Meridian Realm.

Even Hu Dongxing, as a county constable and from one of the three great families, would not easily give it to others.

This guy is investing so much in Shen Lin, his intentions are not small.

After thinking for a while, the deep look on County Constable Hu's face instantly disappeared, and he laughed loudly, "Good, good, good, what you gain from slaying demons is yours to freely distribute, no need to report to us. With you, an Opening Meridian Realm cultivator, our county office's strength will be even greater, very good, very good! If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to come and find me."

After saying these words, he looked at the demonic cultivator again and sighed:

"I didn't expect that the Xiangyang Taoist Temple has flourishing incense and a constant stream of pilgrims every day. But in the graveyard behind the mountain, there is such a demonic cultivator hidden. Tsk tsk tsk, haven't the Taoists of Xiangyang Taoist Temple discovered anything at all?"

Only then did Master Qian recover from the shock brought about by Shen Lin becoming an Opening Meridian Realm martial artist. He stroked his beard, composed himself, and looked at County Constable Hu and said, "County Constable Hu, compared to this matter, we should first determine the identity of that mutilated corpse."

Hearing these words, the smile on County Constable Hu's face instantly faded, and he took a deep breath and walked down.

He looked at the body with the separated head and body, without any regard for the disgusting stench, and directly reached out and groped around on it.

The other party's head had already been gnawed beyond recognition by wild animals. It was certainly impossible to identify his identity based on his appearance alone.

He could only see if there were any clues on his body.

Before long, County Constable Hu took out a travel permit from the corpse's arms.

Although it was already soaked in blood and most of the words were illegible, some of the characters were still intact.

"Qing Province... Ping County... should be Cangping County. Lin De... hiss..."

County Constable Hu guessed for a while. After seeing the first two characters of this name, he suddenly gasped.

He swallowed and looked at Master Qian and said, "How is the generation ranking of the County Magistrate's family?"

Master Qian seemed to have understood something as well, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead as he trembled and said, "You De Zai..."

With a thud, Master Qian sat directly on the ground before he could finish speaking.

It's over!

It can be determined!

This mutilated corpse is really the County Magistrate's nephew.

Cangping County, that is the County Magistrate's hometown, and the other party's name also matches the generation ranking in the County Magistrate's family...

"County Constable Hu... this... what should we do?"

Hu Dongxing took a deep breath and was much calmer than him. He pondered for a while before saying, "Fortunately, this time, Brother Shen took action and captured this murderer alive. Otherwise, we would definitely not be able to complete our task... Like this, you wait until dawn tomorrow and then go to find the County Magistrate to report the situation."

"Me?"

Master Qian widened his eyes, not daring to believe that County Constable Hu would throw this matter to him.

You're a county constable, and you're not going to find the County Magistrate to report, why are you making things difficult for me, a small clerk in the criminal division...

County Constable Hu seemed to understand what he was thinking, glared at him and said, "Of course it's you! I have to interrogate this demonic cultivator overnight and restore the case to its original state."

In the end, Master Qian took on everything and left the county office listlessly as soon as it dawned.

And Shen Lin had nothing to do with the subsequent interrogation, so he went home to rest.

Only County Constable Hu, with bloodshot eyes, dragged the demonic cultivator into the dungeon.

"I advise you to confess honestly later, otherwise, we have plenty of methods to make you open your mouth here. No matter what we do to you, the Demon Suppression Division won't care. Do you understand?"

"Good! Let's start with the simplest, what's your name?"

"......"

"Hmm? So tough? I'll ask you again, what's your name?"

"......"

"Hey, it's been a while since I've seen such a tough guy like you. Come on, put him on the tiger bench!"

After a long time, County Constable Hu looked at the demonic cultivator in front of him, who had endured countless tortures but hadn't uttered a single word, and fell into deep thought.

No, are demonic cultivators so fierce these days?

Is his will so firm?

What should I do?

Just as he was scratching his head in confusion, he discovered that the dying demonic cultivator was constantly nodding up and down, looking at him provocatively with a crooked mouth.

"Damn it, you really think I can't do anything to you, huh?"

In a fit of anger, County Constable Hu exploded and directly swung his arms and slapped him seven or eight times, turning the demonic cultivator's face purple and green.

At this time, he finally heard the demonic cultivator make a sound.

"I... Say! I don't say, I don't say!!!"
