The commotion caused by the demon cultivators attacking Bai Yi was quite huge. The five senses of the Immortal cultivators were all very keen. In addition, many Immortal cultivators had been informed by the imperial court that Qinghe County was very likely to have demon cultivators hidden there.
Under such circumstances, any movement that happened in Qinghe County would attract the attention of many Immortal cultivators.
The movement of breaking through to the next realm was fine, but the movement of the battle between Immortal cultivators made people wary.
Of course, the vast majority of the Immortal cultivators in Qinghe County were unaffiliated cultivators who were not very strong.
They obviously did not dare to get involved in this kind of matter.
Therefore, after discovering the movement of the battle nearby, they chose to report it directly to the county office.
They would let the Imperial Court handle it.
The county office’s reaction was also swift.
Not long after, Constable He brought a group of people from the county office and rushed to the front gate of Bai Yi’s residence.
Among these people, there were Constable He and other constable officers, who were also Immortal cultivators. There were also Immortal cultivators of the Imperial Court who had extraordinary statuses and strength.
Most of them were ordinary constable officers. Although they did not have much fighting strength, but they could still work to clean up the scene!
Reaching the destination, Constable He was obviously stunned for a moment. He recognized at a glance what this place was.
Isn’t this where the white monks live? Why would there be a fight between Immortal cultivators here?
Could it be…
Did something happen to the Cultivator Bai?
Just as a few questions flashed through his mind, he heard a cry of surprise from his men. “My Lord! My Lord! There are bodies here!”
As the voice fell, everyone went to surround him.
Constable He saw at a glance that a corpse dressed in nocturnal clothes had collapsed on the ground. The corpse’s plain face was filled with shock, as if he had criticized something unimaginable when he was alive.
Constable He saw the wound that caused the other party’s death. It was a wound that pierced through the head.
It seemed… It was a sword wound!
“This person is at least at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage.”
Suddenly, an Immortal cultivator of the Imperial Court with an extraordinary temperament frowned and said solemnly, “Even though he is already dead, the faintly discernible murderous aura on his body still proves that he isn’t a normal Immortal cultivator.”
The Immortal cultivator of the Imperial Court waved his sword, and a ball of light flew out and entered the corpse.
In an instant, the light seemed to have touched the butter of a hot knife.
It was instantly melted!
The Immortal cultivator of the Imperial Court had a flash of understanding in his eyes, and his expression was solemn. “This person is a demon cultivator of Sacred Heart Palace!”
Hiss–
As soon as he said this, the entire hall was shocked!
This corpse of an unknown Immortal cultivator on the ground was actually a demon cultivator of Sacred Heart Palace?
A demon cultivator?
The Immortal cultivator battle that happened here was actually related to the Sacred Heart Palace?
Did that mean that there were demon cultivators hiding in Qinghe County?
One thought after another flashed through their minds.
Everyone had ugly expressions. As officials of the Imperial Court, they knew a lot of things. They knew very well how powerful the demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace were.
They also knew that… When they discovered a ‘cockroach’, it was actually equivalent to discovering a ‘cockroach nest’.
There must be more than one demon cultivator in Qinghe County!
There must be more demon cultivators!
“Sirs! There is also the corpse of a demon cultivator here! He was also killed by a sword. There is a sword in his heart! He died with a grievance!”
“Sirs! There is also the corpse of a demon cultivator in Sacred Heart Palace here!”
“Sirs, there is also a corpse here!”
“…”
One after another, their voices trembled as they shouted loudly. They were like heavy hammers that smashed onto everyone’s hearts.
It made them break out in cold sweat! Their hairs stood on end!
The constables hurriedly lifted up the corpses one by one and piled them all up.
Among them… they found one of the demon cultivator’s corpses that was disguised as the county coroner!
The bodies of the demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace were neatly arranged. They gave people a great impact.
“They are all in the Qi Refinement stage!” The Immortal cultivator of the Imperial Court said, his expression was abnormally ugly. “There is also a ninth level Qi Refinement stage cultivator among them! A total of six demon cultivators are hiding in Qinghe County, and we only discovered their traces now! If they don’t show up voluntarily, won’t we see these demon cultivators wandering around under our noses every day?”
Constable He walked over. His gaze was fixed on the coroner’s face.
He said, “Lord Bi, take a look at this person.”
He pointed at the coroner’s body.
The Immortal cultivator known as ‘Lord Bi’ frowned as he looked at the face. He was immediately stunned. He felt that this face was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Constable He took the initiative to explain, “This person is the coroner of Qinghe County.”
“What?” Lord Bi almost lost his composure.
He squatted down, grabbed the coroner’s face, and pulled hard.
An exquisite mannequin skin was peeled off, revealing an unfamiliar face.
Lord Bi’s expression was gloomy as he thought of something. “Sacred Heart Palace’s Breath Concealing and Disguising Technique!”
No one had expected that the demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace had already invaded the county office of Qinghe County!
Wait a minute!
Did that mean…
Everyone’s hair stood on end as they hurriedly distanced themselves from the people around them.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance.
They were all suspicious of each other.
“Don’t worry, none of you are demon cultivators.” A sudden voice caused the hearts of everyone from the county office to skip a beat, almost giving them a fright.
Everyone looked over and saw a young man who had opened the door of his residence at some point.
It was Bai Yi!
How could he not hear a group of people making a ruckus at his door?
Moreover, he was the one who had killed these demon cultivators. Sooner or later, the people of the Imperial Court would communicate with him.
It did not matter that he had come out earlier.
“My colleagues, there’s no need to panic!” Constable He suddenly said, “This person is a wandering cultivator from Qinghe County, Cultivator Bai. It was Cultivator Bai who reminded us of the death of Ah Cai, the shop assistant of the medicine store. It was also Cultivator Bai who reminded us that Qinghe County has demon cultivators from Sacred Heart Palace!”
With that said, Constable He looked at Bai Yi, who was unharmed, and then looked at the six corpses on the ground.
He seemed to have thought of something.
There was shock on his face. He secretly swallowed his saliva.
“Cultivator Bai, these demon cultivators… were all killed by you?” he asked.
“Yes.” Bai Yi lightly nodded. “I don’t know why they wanted to kill me, and then I killed them.”
These simple words caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air.
Everyone had contributed an insignificant amount to global warming in the Immortal cultivation world.
“This is cultivator Bai?” Lord Bi of the county office revealed a hint of a smile. “I heard Constable He mention you during the day today. Now that I’ve seen you, you really are extraordinary. You really are a dragon among men.”
Realizing that Bai Yi was not an enemy, Lord Bi immediately put on a warm smile.
Immortal cultivation was not all about cultivating. Immortal cultivation was also about the ways of the world.
“I am a Guest Elder of Qinghe County. My name is Bi Xu,” Bi Xu said. “Thank you, Cultivator Bai, for helping Qinghe County to rid the world of devils and demons!”
To be able to kill a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator and several seventh level Qi Refinement cultivators without being harmed at all!
What kind of concept was this? What kind of cultivation level was this?
The demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace were very powerful.
Bi Xu knew that he would only be able to try his best to rope in powerful Immortal cultivators to fight against those demon cultivators.
At the same time, he also had to quickly contact the state capital and ask for more powerful Immortal cultivators to reinforce him!
In Qinghe County… the Immortal cultivators who could be considered decent were extremely rare. They were few and far between.
He could not take it!
