Shengde Building.

After Zheng Wanchun left, Liang Sheng felt tired, dozing off while sitting at the tavern’s counter. However, his ears remained sharp, and he clearly heard the conversations of the patrons.

He did not need to ask Zheng Wanchun for details since Shengde Building was the fastest place for gossip to spread.

However, after hearing these rumors, Liang Sheng’s heart began to race. It seemed that the situation was indeed quite serious this time.

After all, before Bai Family Village, Chen Family Village had also experienced a tragedy. Dozens of people were killed, and no one managed to escape.

Earlier, Zheng Wanchun told Liang Sheng about the Dianshi’s murder last night, he decided not to go out at night for the time being.

The killer probably wouldn’t dare to enter the Liang Family Area directly, unless they wanted to stick their hands into a hornet’s nest and court death.

Soon, the sun set, and when business should have been booming, patrons began to settle their bills, one after another, and head home.

After all, one could never be too careful when it came to their life.

Seeing this, Liang Sheng had Old Duan close up business early and rest, urging them not to go out at night. Then he quickly returned home in his horse carriage.

The night passed peacefully during Liang Sheng’s cultivation, but early the next morning, he was awakened by the sound of knocking on his door.

Outside the door were the County Ya’s constables and Liang Family guards. Upon seeing this, Liang Sheng immediately knew that something serious had happened.

“Mr. Sheng, did you hear anything last night?”

Liang Sheng shook his head. Seeing this, the constables took their leave and approached the next resident. Liang Sheng stopped a Liang Family guard and found out that someone had died the previous night.

The person who died held a not-so-ordinary identity; he was not only the county government office’s secretary, Fang Wenlei, but also the father of Patriarch Liang Ying’s favorite concubine. No wonder their deaths alarmed the Liang Family guards, and Liang Sheng’s face turned solemn.

It seemed that Jinzhou City was going to be in turmoil again!

Subsequently, in the following days, the people in the city were in panic. After the death of the county clerk, several more people died at night.

These people held extraordinary identities, and due to this, the common people living in the city felt even more terrified. After all, compared to Dianshi and the clerk, they felt even less secure.

Liang Sheng received news that the murdered Dianshi held an intriguing identity, as he was the relative of Wu Family’s Head Wu Chang.

After the destruction of the Gao Family, in order to strengthen the relationship between the county office and the Liang and Wu Families, marriage became the best choice.

However, the more Liang Sheng understood the situation, the more he felt that it was unique. After all, the killer directly provoked the three giants of Jinzhou City, and was extremely cruel.

No, he must seize the opportunity to flee, otherwise, he might be caught up in the disaster. Unfortunately, Liang Sheng was one step too late.

Jinzhou City had already closed its city gates, allowing entry but not exit!

With the support of both the Liang and Wu Families for the county government office, even as a high-level martial artist of the Postnatal Seventh Layer, he didn’t dare to risk breaking through the city gate.

Not only that, Jinzhou City also imposed a curfew. Once night fell, no idlers were allowed to roam outside.

Those who violated the order would be beheaded!

These conditions were personally explained to Liang Sheng by the catcher, Zheng Wanchun. Although Liang Sheng was only at the Postnatal Second Realm, Zheng Wanchun regarded him as a close friend.

Who wouldn’t, when Liang Sheng often helped Zheng Wanchun relax and consider him a confidante?

Seeing Zheng Wanchun explain everything so seriously, Liang Sheng naturally promised to be more careful and not go outside, so as not to cause trouble for his friend.

However, despite this, more and more people died in Jinzhou City, making the atmosphere increasingly tense. On the contrary, the ordinary people felt more relaxed.

According to them, the deceased were mostly important figures unrelated to the common people. Some even whispered if there was a green forest hero carrying out chivalrous acts?

After all, the deceased were all vampires that sucked the blood and wealth of the common people.

Nevertheless, the people hoped that the county office would solve the case and arrest the murderer soon. After all, during the period of the city’s closure, they were having a hard time as well.

But as more and more people died, the county office and Liang and Wu Families felt that their authority was being seriously challenged, and they couldn’t just give up.

If the real culprit was not caught, the city would remain closed!

However, Liang Sheng became more and more like a shrinking bird, hiding at home and occasionally going out during the day to check the situation. This was because he had seen the monk he had met with Flower Mother on the night of the funeral at the Dian Shi’s ceremony previously.

At first, he was only slightly vigilant, but when he noticed that the monks the head monk brought with him to perform the ceremonies were different each time, he immediately became nervous.

Where had the previous monks gone?

He now knew that Jinzhou City only allowed entry but not exit, so how could this monk change his monks each time for the ceremony?

This discovery made Liang Sheng more and more certain that Jinzhou City’s current incident was absolutely related to Jinshan Temple.

When he thought of the high monks of the Xuan generation he had seen at Jinshan Temple, each with an astonishing cultivation level, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

He was afraid that the Liang and Wu Families and the County Government Office were not prepared. Otherwise, if Jinshan Temple were to make a full effort, they would be caught off guard.

Just yesterday, Liang Sheng stayed in his room and didn’t even let Ma San and others go out. Anyway, there was always half a year’s food stored in the house. Why should he seek his own death?

Because he had actually seen the Chief of the Discipline Court, Xuan Ji, appear in the city yesterday, and he even saw the familiar Master Hongzhi!

Now, he could be sure that Xuan Ji was definitely a master above the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level, because he still couldn’t see through him!

If Xuan Ji had come, would the other high monks have also arrived in the city?

The more Liang Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding. Were Jinshan Temple going to showdown? How dared they?

This was Jinzhou City!

The Seven Great Sects were destroyed by the Dayan Dynasty back in the day, but Jinshan Temple, presumably a legacy of the Dharma Sect, where does their confidence come from?

Was it the mysterious sect mentioned by Flower Mother that gave them such courage?

The more Liang Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that Jinzhou City was engulfed in a huge net, as if a monster was lurking in the night, coveting Jinzhou City.

He couldn’t just sit and wait for death!

Who knew if these people would target the children of the Liang and Wu Families? Previously, Flower Mother had schemed against his Second Uncle for money, so he had no choice but to prepare.

It was better to be safe than sorry. In the end, his own strength was insufficient, otherwise, why would it come to this?

At this time, he looked at the Attribute Panel and silently calculated that he was not far from breaking through to the Postnatal Eighth Realm. He would avoid this disaster first.

His current Attribute Panel was nearly the same as before—

Name: Liang Sheng

Age: 47

Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)

Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (Seventh Layer), Ten Methods of Health Cultivation (Eleventh Layer), Unmoving Ming King Seal (Second Layer)

Realm: Martial Artist Postnatal Seventh Layer (98%)

At this time, Liang Sheng disguised his bed to look like someone was sleeping in it and then sneaked into the backyard by himself.

The guards in the mansion were patrolling the entire mansion attentively and conscientiously, but how could they possibly detect Liang Sheng, a high-level martial artist?

Liang Sheng went to the backyard where there was a rockery, found a protruding rock, pressed it lightly, and a hole appeared that could only accommodate one person.

Without any hesitation, Liang Sheng crawled in, and then the rockery returned to its original appearance, with no abnormalities visible from the outside.

This was the secret room Liang Sheng had secretly prepared by himself, unknown to anyone. The interior was also a hidden dimension, small but complete.

In the past few days, Liang Sheng had slept here every night and returned to his room secretly before dawn. He could not be blamed for being so cautious, as the situation outside was too dangerous.

He hoped that he wouldn’t be involved in this whirlpool. But he thought too much about it. Liang Sheng calmed his mood and immersed himself in cultivation again.

What he didn’t know was that at this moment, outside his house, there were two people dressed in night-walking clothes, hiding in a corner, their eyes flickering!
