Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

The Wu family was the largest household in Baoshan Village, possessing countless fertile fields and immense wealth.

The method they used to amass this vast fortune was actually quite simple.

Lending!

Usury!

But not just for the sake of that little bit of interest.

Every time a farmer came to borrow money, they would use their land as collateral.

Then, after a while, these farmers who borrowed money would mysteriously disappear.

On the surface, it was said that they encountered wild beasts in the mountains and were eaten.

But in reality, the Wu family had a cooperative relationship with the demons in the mountains.

The demons received food, and the Wu family helped cover up the truth while taking possession of the farmers' land.

It was always successful.

Hearing this, Shen Lin asked with some curiosity, "In such a long time, haven't the other people in Baoshan Village noticed? Hasn't the county government sent anyone to investigate?"

Zijing curled her lips into a sneer and said, "With the Wu family taking action, they naturally have connections everywhere. The people blindly follow and can't distinguish the truth. And people from the county government have come before."

As she spoke, she looked at Sun Zhi in front of her and continued, "For example, this Constable Sun has come several times. However, each time, the judgment was that wild beasts in the mountains were responsible. Coincidentally, not long after, he would find traces of demons elsewhere."

Shen Lin fell silent and sighed helplessly.

Before long, a village appeared in front of them.

Compared to the previous Baijia Village, Baoshan Village was more than five times larger, with scattered candlelight flickering among the densely packed earthen houses.

Shen Lin was about to continue forward, but Zijing stopped him.

"Wait, dog demons have keen senses. Their sense of smell and hearing are stronger than ordinary demons. We need to keep a distance of at least five miles. We'll act after their attention is drawn to Sun Zhi."

Shen Lin nodded, quietly waiting for Sun Zhi to walk inside.

"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid that those demons will directly attack Constable Sun? At such a distance, you won't be able to make it in time."

Zijing looked at Shen Lin with some suspicion.

Didn't this guy always use Sun Zhi as his shield?

Why is he so willing to put him in danger this time?

Shen Lin said gloomily, "In that case, Constable Sun can only fight to the death, killing three demons, but dying of serious injuries on the way back."

Listening to the script he arranged for Sun Zhi, Zijing shuddered and said, "You're really ruthless. But in this way, you won't be able to continue hiding your cultivation in the future."

Shen Lin nodded, but didn't respond at all.

If he couldn't hide it, he would just act openly.

After another period of time, after he opens his twelfth meridian, he will be able to break through to the Innate Realm.

At that time, with his talent, he should be qualified to enter the Demon Suppression Division.

Thinking of this, Shen Lin felt invigorated.

The Demon Suppression Division specializes in slaying demons and eliminating evil. If he could enter the Demon Suppression Division, he would inevitably encounter more demons and gain more demon lifespan.

While thinking, his eyes suddenly moved, and he noticed two figures appearing in front of Sun Zhi at some point.

Then, Sun Zhi exchanged a few words with them and was led towards a corner of the village.

"Let's go!"

Zijing, who also saw this scene, brightened her eyes and led Shen Lin around the edge of the village towards a very conspicuous mansion.

The two moved quietly, without making a sound.

Successfully bypassing the Wu family's patrolling guards, the two soon ran into a courtyard.

"That's the Wu family's treasure vault. I'll pick the lock, you keep an eye on the surroundings."

After Zijing finished speaking, she was just about to move when Shen Lin stopped her.

Shen Lin hissed and pointed to a corner of the courtyard.

Zijing looked over with some doubt, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

In the corner of the courtyard, a figure was standing silently in the dark shadows.

Meridian Opening Realm!

Ordinary martial artists, even if they try their best to suppress their internal aura, cannot escape the perception of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Zijing didn't notice the other party at first, which means that the other party must be a strong person of the same level as her.

She frowned, secretly thinking that this was troublesome.

The information she obtained before didn't say that the Wu family had a Meridian Opening Realm martial artist guarding the place.

It seems that her actions some time ago aroused the Wu family's vigilance, and they specially invited a Meridian Opening Realm expert to guard the treasure vault.

The other party's position was well chosen, and the entire location of the treasure vault was within their observation range, and she couldn't bypass it no matter what.

Could it be that she had to solve the other party first?

But in this way, the commotion would be too great, and it was likely... Hmm?

While Zijing was still brainstorming and thinking about solutions, she suddenly noticed the other party's shadow wriggling, and a figure appeared beside him.

That was... Shen Lin?

Zijing subconsciously turned her head and found that her side was empty, and immediately confirmed her guess.

Shen Lin didn't have time to dawdle here. What if those dog demons discovered Sun Zhi's purpose and ran away when they saw the situation was not good?

Where would he find three more Meridian Opening Realm demons?

So, while Zijing was still thinking, he had already taken action.

Relying on the Shadowbreak Step, he quietly appeared behind the Wu family's Meridian Opening Realm expert. Shen Lin gestured at his neck, formed a knife with his right hand, and chopped down with a palm.

Thump!

The other party didn't even hum, and directly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Although this guy was also in the Meridian Opening Realm, he had only opened one or two meridians, and the gap between him and Shen Lin was very large.

In addition, Shen Lin's unchivalrous sneak attack caused the Meridian Opening Realm expert that the Wu family spent a lot of money to hire to fall asleep soundly.

Not far away, Zijing's expression suddenly became strange after seeing Shen Lin's "got it" gesture.

But she also knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things, and directly ran to the door of the treasure vault to try to pick the lock.

Watching Zijing take out various tools and diligently start her lock-picking career, Shen Lin yawned boredly and bent down to search the body.

This search really allowed him to find something good.

In addition to nearly a thousand taels of silver notes, Shen Lin also found a martial art.

《Mountain Opening Fist》

Hmm... such a domineering name, presumably it should be better than the Blood Battle Saber Technique.

He casually flipped it open and took a look, then put it back in his arms.

Just then, Zijing's side heard a click, and the door of the treasure vault was opened.

"Opened it?"

Hearing the sound from behind, Zijing took a deep breath and pushed the door open with trembling hands.

As soon as the door opened, there was a dazzling array of wealth.

Pearls, corals, gold bricks, and silver ingots filled the entire room.

But Zijing didn't even look at these properties that ordinary people couldn't earn in a lifetime, but instead looked directly at the famous paintings hanging on the wall.

But after scanning around, the excited expression on her face suddenly froze.

"How is that possible????"

She was a little excited and rushed in to search.

After a while, she sat weakly against the chair and murmured, "How could it not be here..."

Shen Lin was not blinded by the gold and silver in the room, but carefully searched around, trying to find some martial arts secrets.

After all, even if he filled his clothes pockets with these mundane things, he wouldn't be able to take much out.

And if his strength was enough, wealth was just a matter of thought.

It was a pity that he didn't find any martial arts secrets in this treasure vault.

He walked back, looked at the distraught Zijing, touched his chin and said, "If you didn't find what you were looking for, wouldn't it be okay to ask?"

"Ask who?"

Zijing's voice was wooden, and she subconsciously asked a question, then suddenly took a deep breath and suddenly stood up and said, "That's right! Let's go ask!"

She didn't want to personally contact the Wu family head, because there would be a risk of exposure.

But now that she couldn't find what she was looking for, she could only trouble this Wu rich man.

As for the risk of exposure...

There is a very simple solution.
