The noisy restaurant was bustling with people, and almost all seats were occupied.

Gu Cheng, dressed in black, walked in steadily, glanced at the lobby, and finally chose a seat by the window.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

A sharp-eyed waiter saw the guests coming and immediately came up with a smile on his face, wiped the table with a rag skillfully, and brewed a pot of hot tea.

Gu Cheng casually threw out a silver ingot, saying calmly:

"Make a few of your specialty dishes at this price, and the rest will be your reward.

Also, I want to ask you something."

The waiter took the silver and his eyes suddenly turned into a slit:

"Sir, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Falling Star Lake, how far is it from here?"

"Not far, you can go east along the official road, and it will only take about a day to ride a fast horse."

The waiter quickly replied and changed a pot of better tea for this generous guest.

"One day..."

Gu Cheng tapped the table with his fingers and calculated in his heart.

With the strength of the dragon horse, this distance is only two hours. If he flies directly over, it will be faster.

The waiter who was pouring tea observed the expression of the guests, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously:

"Sir, are you a demon catcher?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"Sir, if you are not a demon catcher, you'd better not go there recently..."

The waiter's face froze, and he quickly lowered his voice with a bit of fear in his tone:

"A few months ago, the Falling Star Lake somehow attracted a vicious demon, who built a nest there and took it as his territory!"

"The beast was extremely cruel, and several nearby medicinal mountains were harmed by it, and many people died.

In order to eliminate the harm, several chambers of commerce have jointly offered a huge reward and invited demon catchers from all walks of life to go and subdue the demon!"

"Falling Star Lake has become the demon's lair?"

Gu Cheng was shocked and felt that something was wrong.

With the lake as its nest, this demon is most likely a water demon.

But Chongshan County is adjacent to Tianshui County, which is densely covered with water networks and has the Jiaolong Palace, which can be said to be a paradise for water monsters.

Why did this water monster go to this deserted Falling Star Lake instead of going to a good place?

Could it be that... it also discovered the inheritance treasure house of the Qinglian Venerable?

This thought flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, and Gu Cheng's heart tightened, but he soon put his mind at ease.

Not to mention that the treasure house is extremely hidden, except for people like Feng Sanshi who have great luck, others can't find it at all.

Even if the demon really discovered the abnormality of the Falling Star Lake, it would be impossible to open the door to the inner layer of the treasure house without the ancient zither "Dead Wood Dragon Roar" as the key.

Gu Cheng felt relieved after reading this, and then asked:

"Since there are demons in Falling Star Lake, why go to a distant place and invite demon catchers from other places? Doesn't the Demon Suppression Division of Chongshan County care?"

"Sir, you are not a local of Chongshan County, right?"

The waiter smiled bitterly and explained the reason:

"You don't know that our Chongshan County has high mountains and dense forests, many spiritual herbs and precious medicines, and many demons and ghosts.

Even if we kill one, another will pop up after a while, and the officers of the Demon Suppression Division can't handle it!

Besides, by the time those guys come, the opportunity will be gone, and it's not as convenient and quick as inviting demon catchers!"

After hearing this, Gu Cheng understood.

He had heard before that the Demon Suppression Division of Chongshan County was far less deterrent than the Demon Suppression Division of Tianshui County.

Now it seems that this problem is more serious than the rumors say. Even the demon catchers are more trusted by the local people than the Demon Suppression Division.

Seeing that Gu Cheng is very concerned about the Demon Suppression Division.

The waiter rolled his eyes and lowered his voice:

"Sir, I have a little gossip about the Demon Suppression Division.

Last month, a big thing happened in Chongshan City! It's absolutely explosive! Do you want to hear it?"

Big thing? Absolutely explosive?

Did the Bai family fox steal some treasure from your Chongshan County?

Gu Cheng looked strange and complained in his heart.

He calmly took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the wooden table.

"Tell me about it. If the news satisfies me, these are yours."

The waiter smiled, cleared his throat, and said vividly:

"It's a long story... Have you heard of the name of the [Evil King Pavilion]?"

"I have heard a little bit about it."

Gu Cheng nodded. He had heard of it. When he was in the novice village in Changle County, he was attacked by the killers of the Evil King Pavilion.

The waiter said mysteriously:

"Alas, that Yunzhou's number one killer organization, I don't know what's wrong with it, and it's stillWhose commission did he accept?

A while ago, they suddenly started hunting down the young talents of the Demon Suppression Division, causing panic in the Demon Suppression Division offices in all counties.

This time it was even more outrageous. A guy who claimed to be the "Ninth Destiny" of the Evil King Pavilion was so bold that he dared to go to Chongshan City to assassinate the disciple of the guardian! "

The waiter swallowed his saliva and said in horror:

"The Ninth Destiny is also a ruthless character. Although the assassination failed, he killed three generals of the Demon Suppression Division in succession while escaping, and finally left unscathed!

Do you think this is weird? The guardian of Chongshan County was furious and ordered the entire county to investigate the matter!

Now, with such a mess, how can the Demon Suppression Division have time to care about the demons in the Falling Star Lake? "

Gu Cheng was secretly surprised. This news was really explosive.

He had heard that the members of the Evil King Pavilion were all violent and lawless, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant that they dared to touch the genius of the Demon Suppression Division!

What's more shocking is that they dared to attack directly in the main city of a county.

If it were Tianshui County, even the old Jiao Wang of the Jiaolong Palace would not dare to be so rampant!

"What happened later? Did the Demon Suppression Division arrest the Ninth Destiny?"

Gu Cheng suppressed his shock and asked hurriedly.

"Of course not."

The waiter spread his hands helplessly:

"Chongshan County is so big, isn't it easy to hide someone?

What's more, with the ability of the Ninth Destiny, even if he can't stay in Chongshan County, it would be easy for him to find a place to avoid the limelight.

Because of this, the Demon Suppression Division lost all its face, and its prestige in the hearts of the people also plummeted. "

After listening to the big news revealed by the waiter.

Gu Cheng nodded and pushed the silver ingot over.

After taking the silver, the waiter thanked him profusely, and before leaving, he kindly reminded:

"Sir, if you want to go to the Falling Star Lake, you might as well wait a few days in Qingshan County.

I heard that those chambers of commerce spent a lot of money to invite a demon-catching master, who is said to be very powerful and can definitely get rid of the demons in the lake!"

"Thank you for the reminder. "

Gu Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his eyes drifted to the window, and his thoughts surged like a tide.

The Ninth Destiny of the Evil King Pavilion...

I didn't expect that the culprit who caused the Xiao family in Chongshan to be wiped out overnight was so cruel.

After failing to assassinate the Tianjiao of the Demon Suppression Division in Chongshan City, he not only escaped unscathed, but also killed three innate masters of the Demon Suppression Division while running away!

With such terrifying strength, even if he is not the Venerable Linghai, he is definitely the top among the innate masters.

Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He had promised the Xiao brothers and sisters before that he would help them kill the Ninth Destiny.

But now it seems that the strength of the assassin of the Evil King Pavilion is far beyond expectations. If he is not completely sure, he must not act rashly.

"When I find this inheritance treasure house, and then krypton the cultivation of body and spirit to the ninth level of innate, I should be able to easily control it, right? "

Gu Cheng was calculating secretly in his heart, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

According to the information provided by Feng Sanshi's residual soul, the Falling Star Lake has been peaceful for decades.

Why did it become a demon's lair when he came here to look for treasure?

Isn't this luck too bad?

But on second thought, he was short of life now, and this little episode was a pleasant surprise for him.

If there is really bad luck, it should be the water monster in the lake!
