Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Never Let an Adult Be Alone (Please Follow) Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Never Let an Adult Be Alone (Please Follow) Dawn. From the distant horizon, a golden light emerged, and the Nu River roared. In Qingshan County, a series of urgent horse hooves burst out from the County Government. Treading on the green stone slabs, as swift as a torrential rain. Some headed straight for the city gate. Others ran through the eight markets and four districts. Loud shouts awakened the stirring city. “By order of the county, no one is to enter or leave the city today!” “By order of the county, no one is to enter or leave” “...” The alarmed voices echoed, spreading through the streets and alleys of Qingshan County with the sound of horse hooves. Quickly. “Bang” “Bang” “Bang” “...” The noises of doors being pushed and windows opened startled everyone. Some people pushed doors open to look outside. Some leaned out of windows to peek. They saw the hoofbeats clatter; Government Officials in blue uniforms, holding county documents, rushed past the doorstep! And at the city gate, the massive gate, two zhang tall and thick, was shut loudly by the Armored Guards in thin armor. Chained with swords, they blockaded the city gate exit. Instinctively, this stirred the citizens to go out into the streets, causing a buzz of worried discussions. “What’s happening?” “Are they locking down the city?” “This has never happened before.” “Didn’t Yunlu County lock down the city when they had a demon disaster?” “Last night, there was a demon causing trouble in the city...” The faces of the citizens turned pale upon hearing this, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, they felt a rumbling vibration coming from the distant mountains. It was as if something from the deep mountains in the west surged forth. The faces of the townspeople turned white. Some daring individuals climbed atop the city walls, seven to eight zhang high, and gazed into the distance. They saw trees continuously falling in the nearby forest, creating ripples. Something appeared to be rampaging through the forest. Moreover, several slim threads were breaking through the dense forest, heading in the direction of Qingshan County. The distance was closing quickly. Finally, the creature revealed itself! A massive black bull, over one zhang tall and nearly two zhang in length, its curved black horns shimmering with a metallic cold light. The crimson eyes of the black bull, nostrils spewing white smoke, bellowed to the sky, “Moo” The sound resonated through the forest. As this sound traveled, the forest around it vibrated violently. The originally sprawling, collapsing fine lines all turned in unison, heading toward Qingshan County. One, Two, Three, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, One by one, huge Beast Demons with crimson eyes emerged in the forest. The hooves of the beasts shattered the woods, causing the earth to tremble! Swirls of Demonic energy gathered together, forming a cloud as dark as ink pressing down. “Demon attack the city!” A piercing scream alarmed Qingshan City. On the city wall, the citizens who saw this were terrified. The Armored Soldiers on the city walls, watching the demons, their hands trembled slightly as they gripped their weapons. And this news spread quickly everywhere, causing panic among the citizens in the streets. At that moment, from a distance, in the depths of the mountains, a shocking tiger’s roar erupted! The Demon Cloud, originally charging toward Qingshan County, suddenly halted. The pairs of crimson bull eyes showed a trace of hesitation. Then, they turned around, retreating into the forest like a receding tide. He turned his head and charged towards the direction of the tiger’s roar. This scene left the citizens of Qingshan County on the city wall, who had been initially panicked, dumbfounded. The demon had come and now it was gone? It was a false alarm, causing many to cry tears of joy. They did not associate this with the tiger’s roar from the deep mountains. However, some were deeply worried about this. In front of the County Government’s gate, a Government Official dismounted quickly, rushed into the hall. Facing a man clothed in green avian official robes and pacing back and forth, with a goatee beard, he knelt on one knee, supported his sword, and urgently said: “Master’s divine intelligence is extraordinary; indeed, demons appeared intending to attack the city!” “But strangely, those demons retreated.” “Tell me the details. How did the demons retreat?” County Magistrate Zhang Cheng quickly asked. The Government Official found it strange too, recalled for a moment, then hurriedly said: “It seems that a tiger’s roar came from the deep mountains, then those demons left, changing directions.” Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang Cheng recalled the words of the Military Officer Captain from last night and hurried to the side of the hall. There, a precious sword hung on the column! “Swish!” County Magistrate Zhang Cheng swiftly drew the sword, its cold light shining upon him. Seeing this, the Government Official quickly got up to stop him: “What are you intending to do, sir?” Zhang Cheng pushed him away, saying solemnly: “To slay the demons!” The subordinate Government Official was taken aback, “Sir, the demons have already left. What are you doing this for?” Zhang Cheng saw the peculiar expression of his subordinate Government Official, with a complex look, “Do you know that the tiger’s roar was from the Military Officer Captain himself?” “He alone drew those demons away.” “This official, knowing all well, hid in this city, how could I be at peace.” “I must go see for myself!” Hearing the words of the County Magistrate, the subordinate Government Official was shocked. The legendary Mountain Patrol Military Officer, who had recently rescued the citizens of Yunlu County, was talked about by everyone. They admired him greatly. But he immediately showed a troubled look and hesitated to speak: “But, sir, the demons came fiercely, we... have shallow Martial Arts skills, let alone you, you do not possess any Martial Arts Cultivation...” This officer in charge only had achieved Body Refining Great Success. He was on the city wall, and saw with his own eyes the fierce and intimidating presence of the demons. This was definitely not something they could involve themselves in. Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng’s face darkened, “Damn it, the Military Officer Captain fights alone for the peace of Qingshan County, yet you talk here about retreating before a battle; this is not how I taught you.” “Although I am a scholar, I am not without the courage.” Saying this, he walked out the door, holding the sword in one hand, with anger in his eyes, shouting loudly. “Prepare the horse!” Behind him, the head of the guards, chastised by Zhang Cheng, felt as if hit on the head, his face flushed with shame. Right, even the Magistrate, who bears no Martial Arts, is still so, what about them? Their chests swelled with courage, and they quickly stepped forward, “I will prepare the horse for the Magistrate!” “I am willing to accompany the Magistrate!” As they spoke, shouts erupted. Shortly thereafter, several spirited horses burst out of the County Government. Along Central Street in the city. Rushing like a sudden downpour, heading straight for the city gate! Along the way, many citizens saw and showed surprise. Wasn’t that the leading figure their local County Magistrate? At that moment, near an inn by the city gate, a goat-bearded old man from the second-floor window watched the horses rushing toward the city gate, a strange light appearing in his eyes. A demon crisis had just occurred, and now the local County Magistrate was personally wielding a sword leaving the city? Where to? He stroked his beard, his murky eyes gleaming. And soon, County Magistrate Zhang Cheng arrived at the city gate. Ordered the city gate to be opened! Then, the city gate opened with a loud rumble. Only one word was heard, “Drive” “Drive” “...” Zhang Cheng took the lead, with several Government Officials, swords on hips, horses galloping, raising dust along the way, they left through the city gate!
