As soon as Chen Lin appeared, he saw the ugly old man pointing at him and shouting.
He frowned and didn't dare to answer easily.
The rules of the devil's world are everywhere. If you give a bad answer, you will easily fall into a trap. It is better to wait in silence.
“Bold!”
Seeing that Chen Lin ignored him, the ugly old man flew into a rage and said sternly, "Well, I was wondering how that little bitch could break through the seal and hide. It turns out that a wild man like you helped her. You dare to touch my Liang Batian's woman. Today I will tear you into pieces!"
The ugly old man shouted for a while, then said to the servants on both sides: "Come on!"
A dozen servants immediately drew their swords and advanced.
At this time, Hua Ruyu's figure flashed out from the door and stood in front of Chen Lin, but under Chen Lin's instructions, she did not take direct action.
Chen Lin took a quick glance and found that these servants were all thin and skinny, and extremely ugly, much uglier than Huang Batian. Although they held knives in their hands, they did not have any aura.
But he did not take it lightly.
After many explorations, we have come to the conclusion that the strength of creatures in the demon world cannot be judged by their identity, let alone their appearance. Although these servants look like mortal thugs, they are still extremely powerful with the blessing of the rules.
Even if they are killed, it is easy to cause a subsequent chain reaction, so we need to deal with it carefully.
“Wait!”
Seeing Hua Ruyu, Liang Batian raised his hand to stop the servant's actions.
Then he asked suspiciously, "Who are you and why are you in the Li family's house?"
Since there is a woman there, and she has a top-notch appearance and temperament, and also an exotic charm, then she should not be Li Fuyao's mistress, which calmed Liang Batian's anger a little.
At the same time, his pair of bean-sized eyes kept looking at Hua Ruyu. He seemed very surprised by Hua Ruyu's strange appearance, but he did not show any panic. Instead, he showed a greedy look.
Chen Lin has also been observing the other party carefully, mainly to determine whether Liang Batian has independent consciousness. After experiencing many scenarios, he found that anyone with normal intelligence in the demon world is not an ordinary existence. These people can not only use the rules, but some can also control the rules to a certain extent.
When Chen Lin saw the look on the other person's face when he looked at Hua Ruyu, his heart sank.
He and Hua Ruyu are both outsiders and are not the established characters in the scene. This Liang Batian, who shows such an expression, must be a man with normal sane mind.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? Get out of the way!"
Chen Lin's face turned serious and he showed the shepherding order.
In any case, you should first let the other party know your identity as an official to prevent him from taking direct action. Moreover, according to the girl in the painting, creatures from the demon world cannot attack officials, otherwise he can kill them at will. This rule needs to be used well.
Liang Batian was stunned at first, then he sneered and said contemptuously: "Haha, a mere shepherd dares to call himself an official, it's really laughable! Why? Do you want to come to Zhiwu County to herd sheep? I happen to have a few at home, so I'll trouble you, shepherd."
"Hahaha!"
His words caused the servants to burst into laughter, and even the troupe of actors who were beating drums and gongs started laughing.
Chen Lin keenly observed that although the other party was sarcastic and contemptuous, the servants retracted the knives in their hands, obviously they were still afraid of his identity as an official.
In addition, through the conversation, it can be confirmed that the other party is indeed mentally competent, and even these servants do not seem to be mindless creatures who act according to fixed procedures.
His eyes flashed, he looked towards the long street in the distance, and walked forward tentatively.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The longer he delays, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
At the same time, Chen Lin held the shepherding order tightly in his hand. If there was any irresistible danger, he would have to go to Baiyun Ranch first and then seek a way to leave the ranch.
This trump card was also one of the reasons why he decided to explore this scene.
“Bold!”
Seeing that Chen Lin still ignored him, Liang Batian became even angrier. He waved his hand to snatch the knife from the servant beside him and urged his horse to come closer to Chen Lin.
He pointed the knife at Chen Lin's head and said coldly: "Did I let you go? If you don't explain clearly why you are in the Li family, don't even think about leaving!"
After saying that, he stared at Hua Ruyu's chest and face, and said with a wicked smile: "This woman looks very much like a foreign maid I lost. I will take her back to identify her carefully. If she is confirmed to be correct, I will report you to the county magistrate for kidnapping..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Lin moved forward and the tip of the knife immediately cut a gash on Chen Lin's face.
Although it was not big, blood was still seeping out.
Liang Batian looked stunned. He didn't know what Chen Lin's intention was. Could it be that he was so overwhelmed by his domineering aura that he wanted to commit suicide
But he immediately knew the reason.
Chen Lin wiped the blood off his face and shouted angrily, "You bold lunatic! You attacked the constable in broad daylight. Are you trying to rebel?"
"I didn't..."
Liang Batian's face changed, and he was about to explain, but Chen Lin didn't give the other party any chance. He struck out with his left hand, and swung out a ray of light with the embroidered knife in his right hand, chopping off the opponent's head!
For fear of being unsafe, a portion of the power of the Thor's Sword was extracted and spit out from his mouth, shooting towards the opponent's chest.
Hua Ruyu spread her wings and flew into the air. The three-colored petals between her eyebrows slowly rotated. She looked around vigilantly to prevent the servants from rushing over.
To Chen Lin's surprise, Liang Batian was not as strong as he had expected. The Soul-Destroying Finger alone made the opponent lose the ability to resist. His breath became extremely weak and he was directly cut in half by the embroidered knife that followed.
The following Thor's Sword had no effect at all and passed through the separated body.
"Do you also want to rebel?"
After beheading Liang Batian with one strike, Chen Lin looked at the servants around him with a cold expression and shouted.
The servants looked at each other and threw their knives on the ground.
The people in the opera troupe next to them screamed and retreated away.
Chen Lin felt relieved. It seemed that he had done the right thing. As long as he followed the rules, these creatures from the demon world would be no different from normal beings.
He took a look at the Shepherd's Order and finally realized the benefits of this identity.
Although he was just a small shepherd, his position was of great significance. No wonder Gege Yun said that he had gotten a great bargain. It was estimated that the other party had something to do, otherwise he would not have been given this position.
"What are you doing, making all that noise? What happened?"
Just when Chen Lin was about to leave and prepare to go to the county government office, he saw several figures rushing over and arrived in front of him in an instant.
His eyelids twitched and he gave Hua Ruyu a look, becoming highly alert.
There were six people in total, all wearing uniform clothes, and each of them exuded a terrifying aura.
Especially the man in the lead, who was extremely tall, with golden hair growing all over the exposed parts of his skin, including his face. Between his eyebrows, the word "king" was faintly visible.
This image looks exactly like a tiger monster.
Chen Lin didn't care about the appearance. There were few people with normal appearance in the demon world, and most of them were strange. Even Niu Niu, the guardian, was no exception. Moreover, those with strange appearance must have special abilities.
"You killed that person!"
The golden-haired man raised the golden spear in his hand and shouted coldly at Chen Lin.
Without waiting for Chen Lin to answer, one of Liang Batian's trusted subordinates immediately knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Master Jin, it was this bandit who killed my master. Master, kill him quickly and avenge my master!"
"presumptuous!"
The golden-haired man angrily shouted at Liang Batian's men, "Does this captain need your guidance in doing things?"
The subordinate shuddered suddenly, and retreated quickly with his neck shrunk, saying that he dared not make a sound again.
The others also stepped back and made way for the area.
The golden-haired man first glanced at Hua Ruyu with a strange look on his face, then looked at Chen Lin again, pointed at Liang Batian's head and said, "You killed that person!"
Chen Lin suddenly felt an invisible aura enveloping him, as if it was going to kill him on the spot if they disagreed with him.
Moreover, the opponent's aura was extremely strong, with a strong aura of rules, and he might find it difficult to resist.
He immediately turned his wrist and displayed the shepherd's order.
Pointing at the wound on his face, he said in a deep voice: "This man ignored my status as an official and attacked me with a knife in public. Can't I kill him?"
The golden-haired man wrinkled the character "王" on his forehead when he heard that. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the token in Chen Lin's hand. A golden light fell on the token, and the token suddenly glowed with a faint light. The three words "牧羊令" flickered.
After confirming that the token was genuine, he turned his head to look at both sides and asked, "Is this the case?"
They were all Liang Batian's men, so naturally they were unwilling to tell the truth, but they didn't dare to lie either, so they just hesitated and kept silent.
A fierce look flashed in the golden-haired man's eyes, and he shook his golden spear, knocking a servant's arm off. The servant howled in pain.
"I'll ask again, this is the truth, but if you dare not answer, you will all be executed on the spot!"
The remaining servants kowtowed one after another, no longer daring to hide anything, and nodded one after another.
The golden-haired man came up to Chen Lin and clasped his fists in a gentle manner, "So you are the shepherd, which ranch you are employed at?"
"White Cloud Ranch!"
Chen Lin answered immediately.
He did not hide it because he only knew the name of this ranch. If he made up a story and was discovered by the other party, something unexpected would inevitably happen.
The golden-haired man seemed stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered and said, "Although Liang Batian deserves death for attacking the official, he still has to report to the county magistrate. Mr. Shepherd, please follow me back to the county government office!"
Without waiting for Chen Lin's agreement, he waved at his men and said, "Take them all away!"
Chen Lin noticed the other party's abnormality, and his heart suddenly trembled. He wondered if there was something special about the Baiyun Ranch
But there was no time to think about it at this moment, so I could only follow the other party to the county government office.
