Please Kill the Demon

Smokey City.

This place is close to the East China Sea, and it is a rich and prosperous place in the Eastern Region. The city is bustling and bustling. Chu Liang and Lin Bei had just been here some time ago, but they didn't enter the city, they only stayed outside the city for one night.

This mission, I have the opportunity to go to the city for a walk.

After Jin Maojiu took Jin Ling Dan, he was feeling groggy every day, so he didn't bring it out this time.

The shadow of being assassinated by the double swordsman last time is still there. I don't know if he has any accomplices. Now that some time has passed, hopefully the limelight has passed.

After all, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Chu Liang can't stay on the mountain all his life just because of the possible existence of assassins. He still has the old fee of the sixth-level battle spirit in his arms, which is somewhat confident.

In this way, with Lin Bei and Shang Ziliang, the two generals, the three came to Yanbo City together.

Huge city.

It can be clearly seen that there is a depressive atmosphere shrouded in it. People in the streets and alleys are talking about the recent conspiracy.

This series of conspiracies had a great impact on Yanbo City. In a city where demon cultivators killed people, there was no time to escape. Who would dare to enter the city?

But it's also strange to say that if an ordinary demon cultivator kills for the sake of cultivation, he won't only commit crimes in one place. Usually, after killing one here, they run away immediately, and then commit another crime in the next place, at least it is not so easy to lock.

And this time, the conspiracy in Yanbo City has killed seven people in succession, all of them died by cutting out their hearts, and the interval between each of them was no more than three days, so it is inevitable that the people will be panic-stricken.

If it was an ordinary murder, it might not cause such a large-scale panic. But this is a trick committed by practitioners. Compared with practitioners, mortals are too weak. If you really hit it, you may die in a breath.

For this case, there is already an inference, that is, the crime of the Soul Slayer Sect Demon Cultivator at the peak of the third realm.

Soul Slaying Sect...

It is one of the oldest inheritances among the demon sects. In the past, whenever the world was in chaos, this sect would rise up, and when the peace and prosperity came, it would soon fall silent.

Because the biggest characteristic of this sect is that it uses killing instead of resources.

It is a consensus that spiritual practice requires a lot of resources. Even demon cultivators, like the evil spirits of the Pluto sect they had come into contact with before, have to worry about the treasures of heaven and earth.

But Soul Slaying Sect is not like this.

Soul Slaying Sect practitioners form alchemy, and the main material needed for alchemy is nine living hearts.

It can be said that the patriarch of his sect was indeed groundbreaking. At first, he might just want to find a substitute for the resources of cultivating immortals, and he did it...otherwise he wouldn't have died so miserably.

There is nothing to say, this kind of practitioner just shows up and kills one by one.

After the three of Chu Liang entered the city, they went straight to the prison city yamen, because this time it was Du Ce, the city supervisor, who asked them to come.

The court cultivators in a city are usually the generals in the army and the yamen in charge of the city. The military generally would not participate in the investigation of this kind of conspiratorial case in the city, and the prison city yamen was not manned, so when there was a major case, they would transfer people to Yudu City. It is not uncommon for them to ask for help from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths when the manpower in Yudu City is tight.

Du Ce has a good relationship with the Shushan faction, that's why he invited Shushan disciples to the Eastern Region to help with the case.

Of course, he will not only invite Shushan disciples.

...

"Chu Shaoxia, Lin Shaoxia, we meet again. Haha, and Nephew Shang Xian." Du Ce was still dressed as a scribe, and went out to welcome the three of them enthusiastically.

Shang Ziliang came at a good time this time, because Du Ce was his father's classmate, and he had been with him several times in the past few years, so he was familiar with him.

"Du Jiancheng." Chu Liang saluted.

"Uncle Du!" Shang Ziliang also shouted.

Lin Bei glanced at him, cupped his hands immediately, and said, "Brother Du."

Shang Ziliang pushed him away.

Chu Liang smiled and said: "I am playing around with my family, so don't blame Du Jiancheng."

"It's okay, young man." Du Ce also had a good temper and didn't care at all.

Everyone greeted each other so affectionately, and walked into the lobby of the yamen all the way.

I saw a young man sitting inside.

This young man was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a plump jade face, clouded temples and hair, and a gleam in his eyes. He was extraordinary at first glance. She was wearing a brocade blue and white light-colored gown, with a white tiger pendant hanging around her neck, and a pearl on her head, exuding extravagance.

Seeing Chu Liang and the others come in, he just walked around lightly, didn't get up to greet them, and didn't mean to say hello, just sat there lazily.

The three of them ignored it.

Du Ce welcomed the three members of the Shushan faction into the hall and sat down, and then he himself sat back at the main seat, and then introduced to the two sides: "These are the three young heroes of the Shushan faction, and they are also here to help arrest the demon cultivator this time." This is the young hero of the Shangzong of Penglai, Yang Yuhu."

Chu Liang couldn't help but look at the person opposite him twice more.

The name Yang Yuhu can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Seven Star Mansion News.

Although there is no strict ranking among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the more recognized number one immortal sect is Penglai Shangzong in the East China Sea. With a profound foundation and strong people like clouds, he has been in charge of the world's righteous leaders for hundreds of years.

The most famous young disciples of this generation of Shangzong in Penglai are a pair of brothers, Yang Shenlong and Yang Yuhu.

It can be called the double star of Penglai.

Especially the elder brother Yang Shenlong, who has been regarded as the arrogance of the world since he was born. He has always been brave and diligent in his practice and has never met an opponent. There are many geniuses from generation to generation, but if you want to choose a contemporary No. 1, probably the most mentioned name is definitely him.

Although the younger brother Yang Yuhu is also a genius, but because his elder brother's reputation is too strong, he is somewhat covered up and often appears as a foil for his elder brother.

When I saw him today, this person is indeed from the Penglai Shangzong, and he really has the unique arrogance of the sub-zongmen.

Hearing Du Ce's introduction, Yang Yuhu just nodded slightly to the Shushan three to say hello.

Chu Liang responded with a smile, but didn't make a sound.

When going out to deal with other fairy sects, if the other party is indifferent, then naturally he can't be too enthusiastic. Politeness is politeness, if a hot face sticks to a cold butt, it will damage Shushan's decency.

"Yang Shaoxia studied under the elder Huanglong of the Shangzong of Penglai, and he has already become famous at a young age. I think you are not too unfamiliar with his name." Du Ce saw that the atmosphere between the two sides was a bit tense, so he introduced them to each other with a smile, "This Shang Shaoxia is the son of my classmate senior brother, and his talent is unquestionable. This Lin Shaoxia is the first disciple of the peaks of Shushan, so needless to say. This Chu Shaoxia is the famous apprentice of the famous Emperor Nvfeng. This time Coming to Yanbo City, I hope you can work together..."

He had good intentions, seeing that the two parties did not talk to each other, he wanted to deepen their impression of each other and get acquainted as soon as possible.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yuhu frowned, looked at Chu Liang and said, "Are you the apprentice of Emperor Nv Feng?"

"That's right." Chu Liang nodded in reply.

Yang Yuhu was silent for a while, and then said: "This time, you guys will handle yours, and I will handle mine. It's fine if your cultivation is not good, don't come here to get in the way!"

Chu Liang also frowned when he heard this.

So straightforwardly malicious.

etc……

Yang Yuhu was only a little arrogant at first, but he suddenly uttered bad words, which seemed to have started when he heard the name of the emperor's daughter Feng.

Chu Liang suddenly figured out the joint.

The Shangzong of Penglai lived in the East China Sea for generations, and the coast of the East China Sea can be regarded as their sphere of influence. It is only natural for them to deal with what happened in Yanbo City. On the contrary, it was the Shushan School, who was invited by Du Ce out of favor, and his hand stretched out a little abruptly. Yang Yuhu is a little bit indifferent, but it is understandable.

But his attitude suddenly changed, probably because he heard that he was the disciple of Emperor Nvfeng.

The last time Master came to the East China Sea to chase the sea, he was finally driven away by the people of Shangzong in Penglai. She said that she was sensible and didn't fight too much, and the specific process would definitely not be so peaceful, presumably something unpleasant happened.

well.

The same is true for Du Jiancheng. He never dared to mention the name of his master when he was out of the house, but you just let Tulu out.

This time when I go back, I'd better remind Master again...whatever trouble you caused outside, don't mention the disciple's name.

But in the face of Yang Yuhu's attitude, it was impossible for Chu Liang to apologize for his master first.

He just shrugged his shoulders lightly, without looking at the other party, and smiled directly at Du Ce: "We are here to catch Moxiu, whether we cooperate or not is the same."

Du Ce smiled wryly, probably not knowing why Yang Yuhu would suddenly turn his back on him, and said, "Then it doesn't matter if you go your separate ways."

He greeted, and immediately a small official took two files and presented them to both parties.

"This is the dossier of this conspiracy. Please read it carefully first to see if you can find some clues. He still needs two hearts to refine the outer alchemy. We judge that he will make another move within three days, so here we are We will be patrolling the whole city at night. When the time comes, our city supervisor will be short of manpower, so we will have to work hard for you to help monitor the situation in the city. You can move freely, and I will not direct you.”

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.

...

at dusk.

Du Ce raised his head from the copybook, closed his eyes quietly, and regained his clarity of vision.

Mundane affairs are the most exhausting, even if he is a fifth-level practitioner, dealing with these affairs every day is quite exhausting. Recently, there have been many conspiracies in the territory of the Yu Dynasty, and the tasks of the city supervisors of all parties are very heavy, and his pressure is even greater than before.

Since the rumors of the demon god's return were spread around the world a while ago, and now there are frequent cases of conspiracy in various places, it seems that some kind of storm is brewing.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building.

As the chief officer of a city supervisor, he was inevitably worried.

But the most important thing right now is to catch the local magic cultivator first.

He pushed the door and went out, called the little official waiting outside, and asked, "Have all the cultivators from Mount Shu and Penglai set off?"

Practitioners in the nine heavens and ten places are used to freedom, and have never liked the imperial court's command. So he didn't assign any hard tasks to the teenagers, and only let them perform on their own. But even though he doesn't direct, it is still necessary to understand the trend, so as not to let someone really be lazy.

In the past, some young cultivators were sent by the sect to help with tasks, but as soon as they entered the city, they would sneak away to play in brothels, completely disregarding their duties, and behaved extremely badly.

The little official responded: "Yang Shaoxia of the Shangzong of Penglai went out early, and went to the places where the corpses were found everywhere, as if to search for the remaining fluctuations of true energy."

"Where's the one from Mount Shu?" Du Ce asked again.

"Ah." The little official hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Xia Chu just went out not long ago, and before he went out, he asked where the brothels in the small city are more interesting, maybe he has his own ideas..."

Du Ce: "?"
