Chapter 186 Gods and Demons in Chaos
Even with Rong Yi's kind reminder, the constables still diligently searched the house, turning over the cellar and storage rooms, but found nothing.
Seeing his subordinates return one by one and shake their heads at him, the head constable took a deep breath.
"Since there isn't one, then let's go." Pointing to Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, "You two stay close and don't try anything funny. These iron shackles have runes inscribed by the adults of the immortal sects, specifically designed to restrain demons. Anyone who tries to break free will suffer a backlash."
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, both pure human race members, could only remain silent.
There was indeed energy flowing through the iron shackles, but it was practically nothing to them; breaking free was simple and easy.
The two exchanged a glance and walked behind the head constable. Behind them were the group of constables, their knives pointed at their waists, ready to strike at any moment.
"Are you just going to leave like this without collecting any evidence?" Rong Yi asked, feeling bored, and started chatting with the head constable.
The constable merely glanced at them before turning and continuing on his way.
After walking a few hundred meters, we saw several cows tied to a tree.
They untied the ropes and said to the two men, "Don't move."
Then Rong Yi felt a constable tie a rope to the iron yoke, his hand trembling slightly as he did so.
After doing all this, the head constable held the other end of the rope in his hand and said to the other constables, "You guys go first, Shuanzi and Erdan follow me."
Rong Yi almost burst out laughing. Shuanzi, Erdan, what kind of names are these?
Wei Yanqing also looked at the two constables whose names were called with great curiosity, but they did not feel that there was anything wrong with their names at all, and even tried to glare at them fiercely.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen constables climbed onto the backs of the oxen and sat on them. Three people sat on each ox, but fortunately, each ox was quite large, so there was more than enough room for three people.
Rong Yi pursed his lips; they were being told to walk alongside the cattle caravan.
The cattle caravan walked slowly ahead, with the head constable sitting behind, pulling the rope.
The two, with their excellent hearing, overheard the whispers among the constables in the line ahead.
"These two monsters don't seem simple. Judging from their clothes, they must have killed a wealthy merchant and stripped him of his clothes to be able to wear such fine clothes."
"Not necessarily, it could also be that they hijacked a cloth merchant's caravan."
“When the caravan travels, it is accompanied by lay disciples from the immortal sects. If they can defeat them, why bother targeting the twenty-odd households in Li Family Village?”
"The demon is strange and tyrannical, and acts without any rules. But what you said makes sense. If it has such great power, it must either follow a great demon or set up its own mountain."
Rong Yi listened to these whispers with great interest.
Wei Yanqing transmitted his voice, saying, "Judging from their words about 'demons,' it seems they mean monsters. There might be plants and animals here that have become spirits."
"I think so too, but the immortal sects they're talking about, could they be the cultivation world? I remember that spirit stones in the cultivation world are really good, as are all kinds of rare and precious materials."
But she doesn't seem to have been to this kind of world before, but that doesn't affect her understanding of it.
"Not necessarily. Some extraordinary individuals also establish their own sects, which they call immortal sects."
Wei Yanqing had been to the cultivation world, where spiritual energy was abundant, and even the mortal realm contained several times more energy than this place.
For the constables, the capture of the demon criminal was thrilling but safe. Everyone was on edge on the way there, but the current situation made them feel a little more relaxed.
·
The weather was hot at the time, and even with sparse leaves on both sides of the road providing some shade, the temperature was still too high.
Rong Yi watched as the constable riding on the ox's back occasionally shifted his buttocks, his back and trousers soaked with sweat.
The people on the cow would share a bag of water, and Wei Yanqing heard the sound of the constable drinking water behind him.
The two walked for an hour, their steps still steady, showing no signs of fatigue, which further convinced the constable that they must be demons, though they stubbornly refused to admit it.
No problem. Once we get to the town, the city gate will be a hurdle. Let's see how stubborn they are then.
A moment later, the constables on the cows got off and fed the cows, who had been working hard to get them to travel, watered them, and took fodder from the bags on their backs and stuffed it into their mouths, taking great care of them.
During this time, they did not give Rong Yi and the others a drop of water. The demons had thick skin and flesh, and even the worst ones could go three to five days without food or water.
These two monsters have slaughtered an entire village; they're not worth wasting food and water on. If they really can't hold out, they can just drag them back.
A group of people were resting under the shade of a tree, with Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing standing to one side.
After a short while, Wei Yanqing sensed something, and Rong Yi also slowly looked in one direction.
Something's coming, and there's more than one...
Shuanzi rested for a while and then felt the urge to urinate. Usually, it was the men who needed to relieve themselves, and sometimes they would do it in front of everyone. With his legs crossed, he looked at Rong Yi, his face flushed with embarrassment, hesitating whether to go into the woods to relieve himself. But this place wasn't far from Li Family Village where the incident had occurred; if something happened…
The constable noticed he needed to urinate. "Go and relieve yourself by the tree. Do you want to wait until we reach town?"
Shuanzi's face turned bright red. "Master..." His eyes drifted to Rong Yi, who had his back to him.
The head constable slapped him on the head, yelling, "What are you thinking? She's a demon!"
Shuanzi made up his mind, turned around and ran to the tree, took off his pants and started to relieve himself.
After finishing, I shuddered and quickly pulled up my pants and fastened my belt.
Just as he looked up, a rabbit demon as big as an ox, with snow-white fur, blood-red eyes, and sharp teeth pounced on him. Shuanzi immediately turned pale and opened his mouth to scream.
"Shuanzi!" came the head constable's heart-wrenching cry.
Shuanzi's father was also a constable in the yamen, but he was seriously injured when he encountered a monster. After a few years, he had to retire and let his son, who was just fifteen years old, take over. The head constable took him as his apprentice. This was Shuanzi's first time going out on business. If something happened, how could he face his old friend who was nearly forty and had only this one son!
Shuanzi thought of his ailing father, his gray-haired mother, his married sister who loved him dearly, and his adorable nephew and niece.
In his daze, the rabbit demon was right in front of him, and he could clearly see the rabbit demon's throat.
Suddenly, his collar tightened, and Shuanzi staggered backward. The constable immediately pounced on him, grabbed Shuanzi's arm, and pulled him back.
Then Shuanzi saw clearly that the spot where he had been standing was now occupied by the "female demon," who was striking forward with her right fist.
The rabbit demon's nose caved in instantly, blood gushed out, and its upper jaw broke off, the bright red blood splattering onto its beautiful, snow-white fur.
The rabbit demon fell to the ground, convulsed, and died in no time.
Wei Yanqing raised his hand to control the other three rabbit demons that ran out of the forest, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the rabbit demons' neck bones broke.
The constables were dumbfounded.
Rong Yi tore the iron shackles still on his other hand off with his bare hands and said to the head constable, "Sorry for breaking one of your iron shackles."
The iron shackles on Wei Yanqing's hands had already automatically unlocked. He strolled over to the head constable and handed him the intact shackles, saying, "You keep them. These things can't hold us."
The constable stood there dumbfounded, leaning against the iron shackles, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
Rong Yi bent down, grabbed the rabbit demon by the ears, and lifted it up. "What a big rabbit! Did it get hormones?" He leaned closer and sniffed it. "Is this rabbit poisonous? Can we eat it?"
The constables: "..." Well, now it seems that the two of them do not look like demons.
