The Ghost-Head Saber Chills the Bone, Qin the Executioner Slices Demons! (Seeking Follow-Up Reads!)
The reaction from the yamen.
Or rather, Gao Wusheng's reaction.
It was a little better than Qin Zheng had anticipated.
The other party hadn't chosen to make a move immediately and force him to swallow the Brain-Devouring Pill.
As he walked out of the yamen, leaving that somewhat chilly building, Qin Zheng thought this to himself.
However, Qin Zheng could also guess the reason behind it; it was likely because he had publicized his act of killing the Bear Demon, and the other party was hesitant to act because of it.
Or perhaps, the Bear Demon and Gao Wusheng's transaction had already been completed.
His killing of the Bear Demon wasn't a significant matter to Gao Wusheng.
It could even be used as an opportunity to coerce him, using the background of the black bear half-demon to threaten him.
According to Gao Wusheng, the half-demon's parents were a human Grandmaster father and a Shapeshifting Great Demon mother.
They wanted to avenge their half-demon child and were coming to hunt him down.
Gao Wusheng wanted him to bow his head under immense pressure, seek protection from him, and thus willingly swallow the Brain-Devouring Pill.
But Qin Zheng wasn't an idiot; why would he wait in Black Goose City for them to arrive?
He was alone in Black Goose City anyway, with few people he was familiar with.
He could pack his bags, leave the city, and disappear into the jianghu from then on.
The world was vast; where couldn't he go?
Why should he stay here and wait for two people he currently couldn't deal with to come for revenge?
Perhaps for the people of this world, this was their birthplace, their roots.
Therefore, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, they would never leave their hometown to seek greener pastures.
But for Qin Zheng, he had no such ideological constraints.
He was a transmigrator; there was nothing in this place worth his lingering attachment.
Now that difficult enemies were coming, if not now, then when should he leave?!
Qin Zheng used his Qinggong and quickly returned to the small courtyard in the southern part of the city where he lived.
He simply packed a bundle, put away the silver taels and banknotes he had collected, and bought some dry food and clothes.
Qin Zheng looked at the small courtyard he had actually lived in for a short time, sighed slightly, and then turned to leave.
At this moment, after a day of fermentation, Qin Zheng's name had already spread throughout Black Goose City.
The Ghost-Head Saber chilled to the bone, Qin the Executioner slays demons and exterminates monsters!
This was a saying that the citizens of Black Goose City spread when talking about Qin Zheng's feat of slaying the demon.
Therefore, as Qin Zheng walked through the streets of Black Goose City, he was immediately recognized by the common people, who all cheered and shouted for him.
This situation made Qin Zheng feel a little ashamed, and his eyes sank slightly.
If no one had guided it, how could all the citizens have recognized him in such a short time!
Someone with intentions must have guided the spread of his demon-slaying fame!
Making him like a beacon in the dark night, attracting malice!
Thinking about it, it could only be that yamen official, Gao Wusheng!
Qin Zheng briefly dealt with the surrounding citizens.
Then he used his Qinggong and quickly broke away from the crowd, speeding towards the outside of the city.
With Gao Wusheng making such a move, things were likely to change, and the sooner he left, the better!
Originally, Qin Zheng had wanted to leave some information at the dilapidated temple in the east of the city and then pay respects at the new grave.
But from the current situation, he probably wouldn't be able to do so.
As he noticed the change, his brow twitched, indicating a bad premonition!
Qin Zheng's expression immediately turned grim.
And as his figure quietly arrived at the city gate in the south of the city, he found that some constables and yamen runners were already lingering at the gate.
The number was far from ordinary!
Was Gao Wusheng trying to forcibly keep him in Black Goose City, waiting for the half-demon's parents to arrive?!
Qin Zheng immediately guessed Gao Wusheng's intention, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
However, now was not the time to turn back and retaliate.
Gao Wusheng's background was too formidable.
"King and Gao, share the world!"
The oppression of these six words was too great.
For now, he would spare his dog's life!
I'll get back at them once I'm strong enough!
Qin Zheng thought this, then tensed his body slightly, ready to use his movement technique to rush out of the city gates.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in his vision.
The person waved gently, clearly signaling him.
Bailiff Xu, Xu Weisai.
Qin Zheng's brows twitched slightly, and he immediately walked towards the other person.
"All four city gates of Black Goose City are being blockaded, and there are also yamen officials by the riverbank on the west side,"
Xu Weisai said the moment he saw Qin Zheng approaching.
Qin Zheng looked at him and asked, "Can I still trust you, Bailiff Xu?"
When he left last time, the other party had said he would take Gao Wusheng's Brain-Devouring Pill and truly become Gao Wusheng's subordinate.
Xu Weisai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then let out a soft laugh.
He showed Qin Zheng his clothes, which were casual attire, not the black robes of a bailiff.
"I came here quietly today as well, you can rest assured."
"There have been too many things happening these past few days, and Gao Wusheng hasn't had the chance to make me take the Brain-Devouring Pill yet. You can still trust me now."
At the same time, Xu Weisai said.
Then, he reached out as if to grab Qin Zheng and said, "I know about your situation. Without further ado, I'll take you out of Black Goose City."
Qin Zheng slightly sidestepped, avoiding the outstretched hand, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Bailiff Xu, but..."
He looked at the constables and yamen runners at the city gate and chuckled, "A mob like this, whether they blockade or not, doesn't really make much of a difference."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Bang!
The stone bricks on the ground cracked!
Then, a figure shot out of the city gate like an arrow.
The constables and yamen runners guarding the city gate hadn't even reacted yet.
Seeing this, Xu Weisai's eyes darkened, a gloomy expression appearing in them.
But at the same time, there was also a deeply hidden hint of relief.
"He's running! Chase him!"
"Hurry, get on horses and chase!"
"..."
At this moment, the constables and yamen runners at the city gate finally reacted, shouting loudly.
Xu Weisai strode forward a few steps, hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura.
"Alright, no need to chase. Stay here honestly."
He said, shouting at the flustered and hurried constables and yamen runners before him.
Truly a mob...
At the same time, this thought surfaced in his mind.
"Bailiff Xu, but that person is Gao..."
A yamen runner said with unconcealed unwillingness.
"That person beheaded a strong expert in the Bone-Refining Realm, and also chopped off the head of a Bear Demon!"
"What's the point of chasing after him? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Xu Weisai looked at the unwilling yamen runner and immediately rebuked him coldly.
His words immediately sobered up the surrounding constables and yamen runners.
Although the bounty promised by the yamen was generous, they needed to be alive to spend it.
At the same time.
One hundred miles outside Black Goose City, a pair of immaculate white shoes stepped out of the towering mountains, embarking on the road to Black Goose City.
