Hell Emperor

Chapter 344 Xia Wei - Tracking

After clearing away the scattered beastforms along the way, Xia Wei and his party arrived after looking for traces, and suddenly their expressions changed.

"Oops... there is a small city ahead. Judging from the aura left by the beast-shaped people, they are heading to that city. If they don't stop the beast-shaped people in time, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous..."

Xia Wei gritted her teeth hard and her face tightened. She had seen with her own eyes the dangers of beast-shaped people. All those who were infected by the beast-shaped poison lost their intelligence and degenerated into aggressive beasts, even destroying their bodies. If it's not enough, their souls will still turn into beast-like ghosts and continue to attack other creatures.

Perception, there are many residents in the city ahead. Looking from a distance, you can also see thick smoke rising into the sky. All these situations gave Xia Wei an ominous premonition.

"Let's go in and take a look." Ren Changhong took a deep breath. No wonder no ghost is willing to deal with the beast-shaped user. The threat of this beast-shaped poison is not ordinary.

When they arrived at the city, the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations, but they saw that the people in the city were densely packed and the people coming and going were in an orderly manner. It did not look like they had been attacked by a beast-shaped person at all.

"Wait... something seems wrong." Hua Xiaomei exclaimed. If Xia Wei hadn't made a keen judgment based on the traces left by the beast-shaped person, she would have even suspected that she had come to the wrong place. There was no such thing here. Zoomorphs appear.

"It seems that the people here have dealt with the beast-shaped people and the beast-shaped ghosts together."

Ren Changhong's cold eyes swept around, and he quickly got a general understanding of the situation.

In an open space not far away, several wooden platforms were being set up, with raging fires burning around them. People kept throwing lifeless charred corpses into them and burning them to ashes, causing thick smoke to rise. There were also some good-hearted people surrounding them, saying: There was a lot of discussion:

"What happened to these people? Why did they suddenly go crazy? They almost hurt other people..."

"I heard that they had a strange disease, so they went crazy. They must be burned completely, and nothing is left. But don't get closer, or other people may get infected."

"Many beggars have disappeared recently, and they must have been poisoned by crazy people..."

"Thanks to the city lord's intervention, those crazy people were dealt with. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous..."

People's comments came to her ears, and Xia Wei also understood the situation clearly.

Under the erosion of the beast-shaped poison, whether it is a beast-shaped ghost or a beast-shaped person, their realm has greatly degraded, forgetting all the skills they once learned, and doing everything based on instinct.

This also makes the beast-shaped people weak in strength. When they go crazy, they are only equivalent to ordinary people without training. Anyone with a little bit of practice can easily defeat a few beast-shaped people. Even ordinary people joining forces can still fight against the beasts. shaper.

However, after the death of the beast-shaped person, their souls will still turn into beast-shaped ghosts and continue to attack other people. If you want to see beast-shaped ghosts, you have strict requirements for your own realm. Even if ordinary people can deal with beast-shaped ghosts, they cannot see beast-shaped ghosts, so they are prone to disaster.

Xia Wei didn't know this at first, and just killed the beast-shaped ones, but ignored their souls, resulting in missing some. Now Xia Wei would not make such a mistake.

"It seems that there are practitioners of acceptable level in this city. They have already eliminated all the beast-shaped ghosts, so there is nothing wrong with us." Xia Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two of them, "Let's go."

Ren Changhong and Hua Xiaomei had no objections and were about to leave. At this time, Xia Wei's ears suddenly moved and she heard a subtle discussion:

"Those crazy people break in from time to time, but the city lord turns a blind eye to this, and even asks the guards to increase the security tax. If the young city lord hadn't been attacked by the crazy people, I'm afraid no one has solved the trouble until now..."

"Young City Master is used to being tyrannical over us. He thought those crazy people were as obedient as others, but he didn't pay attention and was injured by a sneak attack. It's really his retribution!"

"I saw that the Young City Master was livid after being injured and was frothing at the mouth. When the City Master learned about this, he was shocked and immediately ordered those crazy people to be wiped out. Do you think anything will happen to the Young City Master?"

"What are you thinking about? The young city lord has a third-level ox-horse realm cultivation level. How can you do anything to him with this little injury? It's just a loss of face. It will be restored to its original state soon. We only have these few days to clean up. I really hope he never comes back..."

After hearing everyone's words, Xia Wei's footsteps stopped in place: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard it." Ren Changhong nodded.

"What did you hear?" Hua Xiaomei was puzzled. She didn't understand what the two of them were talking about. Her low level prevented her from hearing those whispers. "Did you just hear a strange sound? Could it be that I was the only one who didn't hear it? ?”

Xia Wei was not impatient at all and explained carefully: "Sister Mei, someone here was attacked by a beast-shaped person and was injured. According to our previous experience, that person will also turn into a beast-shaped person in the near future."

Hua Xiaomei took a deep breath, now things were getting into trouble: "In this case, let's quickly tell the people here the news and let them deal with the injured in advance."

Ren Changhong shook his head slightly: "If it is an ordinary person, this method is certainly feasible, but judging from everyone's discussion, that person's identity is extraordinary. He is the son of the city lord here. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to solve."

Hua Xiaomei looked embarrassed and could only look at Xia Wei: "Sister Xia Wei, what should we do now? The alchemy materials we are looking for have not been found yet. If we continue to delay, I am afraid it will delay the cure of Sister He. The timing, in my opinion, we’d better not cause more trouble..."

Xia Wei just shook her head: "If we let it go, it will lead to even greater disasters. How can we leave at this time? Besides, sister He is auspicious and good luck will definitely favor her. Maybe we are looking for The material may be here, but if you leave now, you will miss it.”

"That's true..." Hua Xiaomei was speechless and said no more.

This is Xia Wei's temperament. She has to take care of everything she sees, but how can everything in the world go according to her wishes? In the end, conflicts will inevitably arise.

But, will there really be the required alchemy materials here? Although Sister He is blessed with auspicious stars and good luck, luck is elusive. Who can guarantee that the material will be here?

When Hua Xiaomei was helpless, she heard Ren Changhong speak with interest: "Xiaowei, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, come directly to the door and ask them to hand over the people who have been infected by the beast-shaped poison!" Xia Wei answered without thinking.

Ren Changhong nodded and said, "But what if the people here don't get along? Are you sure you don't need to be more circuitous?"

Xia Wei raised her eyebrows and said sternly: "If we don't hand over, the people here are harboring the beast-shaped ghosts. I will eradicate them and the beast-shaped ghosts together!"

Xia Wei's murderous words made Ren Changhong open his mouth, but no sound came out.

It was said that Shura had a murderous intention, but why did Ren Changhong think that Xia Wei's murderous intention was no weaker than Shura's, or even a little stronger? I don’t know what she has been through... Ren Changhong stared at Xia Wei and heard from her family that Xia Wei was not like this before. Although she was stoic and paranoid at that time, she would not do anything drastic, just because of certain The incident caused her to lose her former vitality and become mad and furious, possibly losing control at any time.

The reason why Xia Wei changed like this was because she lost an important person, a person who made her heart feel sad every time she thought about it. Coincidentally, Ren Changhong seemed to know that person.

"I heard that you have mastered the magic of the underworld, do you want to try it?"

Thinking of this, Ren Changhong squinted his eyes, looked at Xia Wei with a little more curiosity, and spoke.

"Now?" Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, then seemed to come to her senses and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I have transformed into a third-grade divine weapon, and I have some experience in the use of the Nether Soul Divine Art. Even the same soul can be transformed into different magic weapons by different people using the Nether Soul Divine Art. , I am very curious about what kind of magic weapon you can turn me into." Ren Changhong said slowly.

This time, Xia Wei failed to use her skills. Just when Ren Changhong was confused, she heard Xia Wei sigh:

"Let's forget it. The Nether Spirit Divine Art will bring strong backlash. Sister He's soul suffered extremely serious disintegration because she turned into the Nether Spirit Magic Weapon. I don't want anything to happen to you."

Ren Changhong was a little helpless: "The backlash of the Nether Spirit Divine Art is inevitable. How can it be without cost to turn ordinary souls into powerful magic weapons, even rare ones for immortals? But as long as they are used appropriately, they will not be used. There won’t be too serious backlash in a fierce battle.”

Xia Wei just shook her head. After seeing the backlash caused by the Nether Spirit Divine Art, she also hesitated in her heart. The scene where the master's soul was disintegrated is still vivid in her mind. Now even Nan Linghe has suffered serious backlash. She is in danger. No matter how powerful the effect of the Nether Spirit Art is, she does not intend to use it again. Instead, she plans to use this skill. The law is in a high cabinet.

Seeing that Xia Wei had made up her mind, Ren Changhong knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to say: "Well, since you don't want to use it, then forget it. The Nether Spirit Art requires cooperation to be used. I am also very curious, can you use me What kind of magic weapon can you turn into... After all, you are that person's disciple."

Xia Wei remained silent and everyone continued to move forward. Soon they arrived outside the city lord's mansion and were stopped by the guards.

The guard's level was slightly lower and he couldn't see ghosts at all. He thought Xia Wei was here alone and drove him away: "Go away! This is not the place you should be."

Xia Wei took a deep breath, the purple light in her eyes was condensed, and the blazing laser swept past. The door in front of her that required the two of them to work together was cut open by her. The cut surface was red, as if there was a flame burning. .

The guard was startled. If the laser swept across his body, or even just grazed his body, the consequences would be disastrous. It would even be a question of whether he could continue to stand. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and said quickly: "Please wait here for a moment." , I will inform the city lord right away..."

After saying that, the guard didn't dare to look back and ran away in a hurry.

Ren Changhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Wei with a hint of appreciation.

Xia Wei's uncompromising and courageous temperament suited her vision very well. In contrast, Hua Xiaomei, who was at a loss and full of worry, made her a little helpless.

Xia Wei took the lead and entered the house without waiting for the announcement to be completed.

Seeing Hua Xiaomei still standing there, Ren Changhong urged: "Let's go, Xiaomei, do you still have to wait for the announcement to be completed? We are not here as guests, follow me quickly."

Under her urging, Hua Xiaomei finally reacted belatedly and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that Xia Wei had already stopped.

After learning that someone had broken in and that the intruder was not malicious, the city lord had already summoned the guards and was ready to prepare.

"I don't know where this person came from, but he came to our Jinran City at such a moment." Behind the guards, the city lord slowly walked out with a stern look on his face.

From the description of the guards, the city lord probably realized what kind of strength Xia Wei had, and was able to show such magical powers. Even if she had not ascended to the immortal position, she still had the cultivation of fifth-level immortal realm, which was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

"We are here for the beast-shaped people. Have you dealt with all the beast-shaped people in the city before?" Xia Wei said loudly.

The city lord was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses: "The beast-shaped ones? Are you talking about those people who have lost their minds and gone crazy?"

Xia Wei nodded: "Exactly."

"They endangered the order in the city and have been dealt with. I won't bother you to take action."

Mentioning the animal form, the city lord's expression was obviously a bit unnatural. Compared with the surrounding guards, a city lord with a level 4 level of impermanence can naturally see more. Xia Wei did not come alone. She came with two other ghosts, one of whom looked pale. His hair was disheveled, and he had a ghostly sword-like eyebrow and starry eyes, with an aura as bright as a rainbow.

The city lord kept guessing about Xia Wei's purpose. The beast-shaped attack was so sudden. This had never happened before. It seemed that it was not an accident, but man-made. He just didn't know what they had to do with it.

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back. As the Lord of Jin Ran appointed by the King of Goguryeo, I will naturally take care of everything in the city without bothering others." The Lord said goodbye.

"Have the beastforms been dealt with? But how did I hear that there are still beastforms left by you?" Xia Wei narrowed her eyes and asked.

The city lord was shocked. Xia Wei's words seemed to have struck a vital chord in him, making it difficult for him to remain calm.

Xia Wei saw his expression in her eyes and spoke slowly: "I have no intention of becoming your enemy. As long as you hand over the beast-shaped person, I will leave naturally after I have eradicated all these hidden dangers."

As Xia Wei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more tense. Cold sweat broke out on the faces of the guards. Just standing in front of Xia Wei, the cold and piercing killing intent stabbed them like a bone-piercing knife. It was so painful that even the crossbowman on the roof could not stop shaking his hands while holding the bow and arrow. It took all his strength just to maintain the movement.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the city lord was afraid that Xia Wei's strength was stronger than he expected, so he quickly said: "You are right, there are indeed several beast-shaped people in the house. Since you are here for them, please allow me." I will bring them..."

Xia Wei waved her hand at this moment: "No, you'd better take me to find them."
