This chaos comes and goes as quickly as it comes.
It was probably due to the demon siege in the city a few days ago. Many martial arts cultivators were too frustrated to be trapped in the city. Seeing the demon retreat, they beat the demon into the water and bit it desperately.
After three days, the demons outside the city have almost completely disappeared. The city wall with new traces has become darker and more penetrating. The khaki earth before being soaked in black blood has now become red and black.
Countless young shoots were soaked in the black blood, and thanks to its rich nutrition, they sprouted one after another and became full of green.
Someone was cleaning the dirt at the entrance and exit of the city gate, and scattered people came in and out, gradually returning to its former glory.
After killing the last demon he saw, Chen Xiu stopped his demon-slaying knife and headed back home.
Now that the demons outside the city have retreated, there are only two or three demons left behind. They are all first- and second-class low-level demons. There is no need for him to pursue them.
The blood essence absorbed by those demons is not even enough to stuff Jin Chan's teeth.
Now with the performance in this monster siege, I must have been able to exchange for a lot of money.
At dawn the next day, Shen Xiu rushed to the majestic Shanglin City Government Office. At this moment, in the side courtyard of the city government office where the bounty was collected, a long queue of martial arts cultivators came.
The arrival of Shen Xiu quickly attracted the attention of many martial arts cultivators.
There is nothing else, but Shen Xiu has been particularly outstanding in killing demons in the past few days, and the reputation of talented martial arts cultivator has been vaguely spread in the forest.
These people are all martial arts cultivators who have climbed over the city wall in the past few days. They have a deep sense of the scene where seeing is believing. Shen Xiu's power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Brother Shen Xiu is here, get in front of me, get in front of me..."
A martial arts man in front heard the whispers behind him, turned around and saw Shen Xiu's figure, his expression was startled, and he immediately showed admiration and clasped his fists.
What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
After listening to what the man said, a thin black line appeared on Shen Xiu's head and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.
Now the martial arts cultivators present were even more awe-struck. They were so strong in cultivation, so powerful in battle, and yet so honest in lining up.
What a strong man who is unified physically and mentally.
When the sun rose three poles, it was finally Shen Xiu's turn.
"Old sir, do you think the record on this iron plate can be exchanged for how much money?"
At this time, in front of Shen Xiu was an old man with a white beard who was over fifty and still energetic.
According to the whispers from the martial arts cultivators just now, Shen Xiu heard that this old man was once a martial arts cultivator in the fourth realm, but later his cultivation declined for unknown reasons and he entered the city government and ate royal meals.
"Did you really kill all of these?"
After verifying the data recorded in the iron plate, the old man looked at it again and again, then looked up at Shen Xiu with his eyes wide open, and his face looked a bit incredulous.
He looked at the records in the iron plate. There were three sixth-level demons alone, the number of fifth-level demons could not be counted with two hands, and there were even less fourth-level demons.
This kind of achievement is so awesome.
There are so many martial arts cultivators who have come to collect the bounty, but he has never seen such outrageous data, and they are all abnormal.
The key point is that the face in front of me is still so young.
But the record stamps distributed by the city government couldn't be faked, so the old gentleman's eyes were tangled.
"Hey, old sir, you don't need to check Brother Shen Xiu's data. We all saw it with our own eyes when we killed the sixth-level monster that day. There is no need to lie..."
"That's right, don't forget that Brother Shen Xiu's cultivation level is like this. Don't you still believe the iron plate of records distributed by the city government..."
…
The voices of the assistants rose and fell, and the old man had to accept the fact that the young man in front of him was a martial arts prodigy.
Putting a stack of banknotes in Shen Xiu's hand, the old man suddenly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Xiu, and said with a smile, "Young man, are you married?"
Putting away the banknote, Shen Xiu hurriedly shook his head and refused. In the long time he had been waiting in line, the old gentleman had already asked almost everyone who looked decent.
"Hey, my granddaughter is gentle and cute, what a pity..."
Shen Xiu's figure left, and the old man's eyes stayed behind him, unable to turn around for a long time, which was a pity.
Finding the way to be a lady, this young man has sharp eyebrows and a handsome figure, but he is not the ideal type according to his granddaughter, but it is a pity that Luohua is deliberately ruthless.
"Old sir, old sir!"
While he was feeling dejected, a loud voice from the side interrupted his mood.
Looking back, I found that it was a tall man with a round waist and a body like a giant bear. Zhen licked his face, lay down in front of his desk and said
"Old sir, how old is your granddaughter? Do you want to consider me?"
There was only one big word in response, "Go away..."
…
The reward given by the city government consisted of more than forty one-hundred-tael silver notes. Each one hundred-tael note was equivalent to more than four thousand taels of silver.
It seems like a lot, but compared to Shen Xiu's record, it's not a lot.
It's just that every time Chen Xiu kills a demon and extracts its blood essence, he also uses the Ming Pearl in the demon's body for his own use, which is better than nothing.
After making rapid progress on the fifteenth floor of the tower, supplementing daily training with medicinal elixirs and soaking in medicinal baths, he finally understood what it meant to spend money like running water.
However, during the siege of the demons this time, he also gained the ability to step into the third level. The satiety level of the Nine-Transformation Golden Cicada has also been increased to 69.6% with his continuous feeding.
The demons retreated, and Shanglin City returned to its former bustling scene. It seemed that the previous changes had no impact on it.
Some people think this is because this demon siege is far inferior to the one a hundred years ago.
After that, several major events were discovered in the city. The top experts who went to the Demonic Mountain to investigate discovered the healing cracks in the underworld, and the reason why the demons in the Demonic Mountain continued to persist was discovered.
The forbidden area exists in name only, and has no restrictions since then. A large number of remaining demons reside in the south of the Demon Mountain. Some people in the forest east of Shanglin City feel the blood is flowing, and it is suspected that a monk from the Blood Sea Sect has entered the Zheng of the Eight Realms.
None of this had much to do with Shen Xiu. For the remaining few days, he stayed in the city to stabilize his cultivation.
At this moment, he also truly experienced what it means to be trapped by fame.
Due to his outstanding performance in the previous demon siege, his name and figure have entered the eyes of many leaders of Shanglin forces.
So there were constant knocks on the door in his courtyard, and there was an endless stream of visitors coming one after another. One wave followed the next.
There are many purposes, including wooing and friendship, building relationships, getting familiar with each other, and what's even more outrageous is that there are people who pay a lot of money to have children. It can be described as a mixed bag.
After that, Shen Xiu posted a message saying "Do Not Disturb" in order to practice the Sutra of Killing in Seclusion, and this time it finally stopped.
A few moments later, there was a knock on the door again. When Shen Xiu opened the door, he found that it was Yun Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Yun family.
