Chapter 205
The wind was cold, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the world was vast.
In the distance, a dark dragon horse came on the snow, raising frost all over the sky, and finally stopped beside a dragon horse carriage of the Demon Suppression Division.
This dragon horse was Gu Cheng's mount.
After it joined the carriage of Fang Xu and others, it stood quietly in the wind and snow, waiting for the next action.
The spacious carriage was isolated from the wind and snow outside, and it was warm like spring.
Gu Cheng used the Yin-Yang Absolute Immortal Hand to heal Su Yanan and others.
Under the green fluorescence full of vitality, the injuries of the three people were recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Taking advantage of the interval of healing, Tang Lingyu also told the recent changes in Tianshui County...
"What? 'Flame Blade Venerable' died a month ago?"
Gu Cheng's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and a storm was set off in his heart.
The four Linghai masters of the Tianshui County Demon Suppression Division, except for Tang Lingyu's master, the guardian, are [Lingque], [Yanren], and [Fuhu].
Ever since the theft of Tianshui County's treasure [Dingshuizhu], these three masters have been guarding the major places of Tianshui River all year round to prevent the Linghai Jiaolong of Jiaolong Palace from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, guarding the peace of the area like Dinghai Shenzhen.
Now, one of these three Dinghai Shenzhen is broken?
"Have you found out who did it?" Gu Cheng asked hurriedly.
"It has not been found out yet..."
Tang Lingyu shook his head, his tone was quite heavy:
"According to colleagues who investigated this matter, the battlefield before the incident was obviously carefully arranged.
Not only did it block the fluctuations generated during the battle, making it difficult to attract the attention of others, but it also wiped out all the auras afterwards.
Even the body of Venerable Yanren is still missing..."
Fang Xu on the side speculated: "In this case... could it be the work of the old Jiao King of Jiaolong Palace?"
"It shouldn't be."
Tang Lingyu shook his head and denied the guess of the bearded man:
"Although the old Jiao King is powerful, his power is closely related to the Tianshui River. If he takes any action, it will definitely not be hidden from the perception of the other two Venerables."
Gu Cheng nodded in understanding and retracted the green light in his hand.
Su Yanan's injuries had healed. She thanked Gu Cheng respectfully and then whispered:
"The Flame Blade Venerable is very powerful. There are only a few strong men who can kill him silently in the twelve counties of Yunzhou."
"According to the investigation of the intelligence personnel of the Demon Suppression Department, there have been many traces of spies from the Evil King Pavilion in Tianshui County recently... Could it be the work of the killers of the 'Evil King Pavilion'?"
"Evil King Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Gu Cheng's expression moved slightly, and he quickly asked the Ninth Destiny of the Evil King Pavilion in his heart:
"Jiu'er, do you know about this?"
"Master, I have been cooperating with the actions of the Rebirth Religion during that time, and I have no idea about this."
Su Jiu'er's respectful voice sounded in his mind, and then changed the subject:
"But Master, in my opinion, this is definitely not the style of the Evil King Pavilion."
"Oh? Why?" Gu Cheng looked curious.
"Because the top assassins of the Evil King Pavilion want to assassinate others, they never bother to hide their heads and show their tails."
Su Jiuer quickly answered, with a proud tone:
"Sneak attacks and assassinations are tricks that only fledgling little characters will use.
Top assassins like me have always killed the target head-on, so why would I cover up my own breath afterwards?"
"..."
Gu Cheng's head was full of black lines.
Recalling the arrogance of the Ninth Destiny when he was carrying out assassinations, he was extremely arrogant, afraid that the target would not know that he was coming, and suddenly felt that what Su Jiuer said made some sense.
If the other few destinies of the Evil King Pavilion are also a group of weirdos who play Assassin's Creed as Berserker's Creed, then this thing is indeed not their style.
Gu Cheng shook his head, temporarily stopped dwelling on this question, and asked:
"What is the origin of this 'Hundred Saints Valley'?"
"This is an evil cultivation organization composed of 'half-demons', and its lair is located in Jiuyang County..."
Fang Da Huzi explained patiently. He has a rich background and knows the most information, so he introduced it like a treasure.
With his detailed introduction, Gu Cheng soon had a general understanding of this 'Hundred Saints Valley'.
In fact, this was not the first time he had come into contact with a human half-demon.
Ximen Yu, the 'Nongyu Master' who had a piano duel with him and was killed by him, and the Ximen family behind him, also have demon blood.
It's just that the people of the Ximen family, except for the slightly different eye color, look like normal humans overall.
However, the half-demons in this Hundred Saints Valley, just from their appearance, can be seen that they are more inclined to the category of demons."...the half-demon hybrids in Baisheng Valley behave exactly like demons!
But they can practice like humans, use human martial arts and spells, and are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary demons!"
Fang Xu gritted his teeth and said, with disgust and fear in his eyes:
"Because of this, the 'Baisheng Valley' has become a major concern for the entire Yunzhou.
In terms of the degree of harm, it is even far beyond the Jiaolong Palace. If there is anything comparable to it, it is only the 'Rebirth Sect' of the past.
Recently, several small villages and fortresses in Tianshui County were massacred overnight. Nine out of ten times, it was this 'Baisheng Valley' that did it..."
Cao Jianxin and others heard the words, and their faces suddenly darkened.
For such demons and evil cultivators, civilians are just their food and cultivation consumables.
Before, the Demon Suppression Division was stationed there, and everyone fought against each other, and a delicate balance was formed between the two sides. The demons and evil cultivators from the outside world only dared to move in their own territory, and did not dare to "cross the border" easily.
But now that Venerable Yanren has fallen, this fragile balance has collapsed in an instant, and the whole body is affected by a single move. I am afraid that Tianshui County will set off another bloody storm!
"Alas, in order to minimize the impact, the Demon Suppression Division has been trying its best to conceal this matter, but after all, the truth cannot be hidden..."
Tang Lingyu sighed, turned her eyes to Gu Cheng, and said helplessly:
"Before the support from Yunzhou City arrives, there will probably be more and more demons and evil cultivators like the 'Hundred Saints Valley' who come here to take advantage of the fire, and even..."
She paused, her eyes swept over everyone, and her tone became heavier:
"Even, there may be a big demon from the Spirit Sea Realm crossing the border!"
"What? Spirit Sea Realm?!"
Fang Xu and others were shocked when they heard this, and the blood on their faces faded.
The Linghai Realm monster is a terrifying existence that can influence the situation of a county. Once it crosses the border and runs to Tianshui County to wreak havoc, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous!
For a moment, everyone's heart was covered with a thick haze. The situation in Tianshui County was a hundred times more dangerous than they imagined!
Only Gu Cheng was calm from beginning to end, without any panic.
In his deep black eyes, there was a hint of eagerness to try.
He currently has plenty of remaining life, but the "Immortal Shura Body" requires killing to practice, and the Impermanence Ghost Lock requires soul strengthening.
In his eyes, these demons and evil cultivators who came to Tianshui County to make trouble were no different from "nutrients" delivered to his door.
As for what Tang Lingyu said, there may be Linghai Realm monsters from other places crossing the border in the future...
Gu Cheng's mouth corners slightly raised, hooking a cold arc.
Isn't that better?
He would soon be able to complete the first dragon servant of the Four Spirits True Meaning he was practicing.
He was just lacking a second powerful sea-level demon servant, waiting for him to practice!
