There are no stars in the middle of the night

The quiet and stable branch of the Demon Mansion in Yangdan County.

The earth shook, and the thick fog of black smoke accompanied by a piercing roar tore the night apart!

Yan Kun, the branch master of Yangdan County, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly stood up from his position.

"What a heavy yin qi!

It's broken, there's something wrong with the yin veins!"

The first time he noticed that there was something wrong with the Yin vein, Yan Kun was about to break out of the room with a big step to see what was going on.

Coming to the door, the moment Yan Kun opened the door, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared from behind him, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him back to the room!

"Who...... Hmm!"

The unprepared attack made Yan Kun not even have time to react, and only let out a half-exclamation!

Bang –

The door that opened a crack was slammed shut!

In an instant, the golden light in the room skyrocketed, like a blazing sun falling into the room.

Bang bang –

After a rapid and continuous tremor of the ground, everything calmed down.

Squeak –

The door was reopened, and a burly figure seemed to emerge from the room in a gentle breeze.

......

The Yin veins ran wild, and the entire Yangdan County Demon Mansion fell into chaos.

A large amount of yin qi filled the hall into black smoke and thick fog to encompass the demon mansion, and in the tunnel leading to the yin veins, one after another yin ghosts swarmed and ran out of it.

For a while, the entire demon mansion was in chaos.

Mobilizing demon soldiers and secret lieutenants to eliminate the yin ghosts who came out of the yin veins in an orderly and rapid manner, the head of the demon mansion Leping had a gloomy face.

I only went to see the seal of the Yin vein yesterday, and it was intact, and it suddenly erupted today.

Someone must have done something about it!

Knowing that this time the yin veins suddenly went violent, someone must have moved their hands and feet in secret, and Leping was angry and frightened.

This is the central area of the Demon Mansion, and someone can sneak in quietly, breaking the seal of the Yin Vein, causing a rampage.

If you think about it deeply, if this person does not destroy the Yin veins, but chooses to assassinate them......

"Lord Courtyard, something has happened!"

Just when Le Ping's heart was deep and jealous of this infiltrator who was suppressing the destructive Yin veins, a secret lieutenant suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"What's going on again?"

Hearing that something was wrong, the corners of Leping's eyes twitched.

"The Governor of the Division...... The branch lord he ...... "The secretary took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "The branch lord is dead." ”

"What?!"

His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and Leping grabbed the secret lieutenant who was kneeling on the ground: "What did you say?

Caught by Leping, the secret lieutenant's eyes were frightened and panicked, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, Lord Courtyard."

The yin veins ran violently, and the subordinates saw that the branch master had never appeared, so they went to look for it.

Outcome...... As a result, in the chamber of the branch master, his body was seen. ”

At this moment, Leping's expression could no longer be described as angry.

Rather, it was utter horror and consternation.

"Take me there. ”

Forcing himself to calm down, Leping asked the secretary to quickly take him to the room of Yan Kun, the branch master.

......

A moment later, Yan Kun's room.

Leping, whose face sank like water, and his eyes were deeply shocked, squatted down and closed his eyes for Yan Kun, who was not blind.

This hurts......

Was he beaten to death?

His eyes slowly swept over Yan Kun's scarred corpse, covered with various fist marks, and Leping's fingers trembled slightly.

Yan Kun and him are both at the True Body Level of the Atavistic Realm, but as the Branch Master, Yan Kun's strength has already touched the peak of the True Body Level and has begun to preliminarily shape the Spirit Devouring Organ.

In ten years at most, he will be able to break through to the true body level and become a spirit-devouring demon.

Can ...... now

He was beaten to death by a murderer who quietly entered the demon mansion.

He didn't even call for help.

For a while, Leping felt a deep cold.

In the dimly lit corner of the room, it was as if a pair of eyes were silently watching him now.

Glancing around the room with a frightened look, Le straightened his clothes and stood up.

"The matter of the branch master, don't spread this matter for the time being, let's suppress the Yin vein riot first. ”

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Le Ping commanded his subordinates on the side in a deep voice.

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

In response, several secretaries gathered Yan Kun's body and quietly sealed it together.

At the top of the main building in the city, standing on the banner of the Demon Mansion with a hunting sound, Xiang Yuan silently looked at the Demon Mansion that had fallen into chaos.

This level is almost the same, which can not only involve the power of the Demon Mansion, but also not affect the civilians.

Under the ultra-distant vision, he saw Leping, the head of the demon mansion with a complicated complexion, and smiled lightly at Xiang Yuan.

He originally planned to kill all the branch masters and heads of this demon mansion.

But then I thought about it, if the Demon Mansion didn't even have a commander, I was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with a Yin Vein riot of this scale.

His purpose was to involve the internal forces of the Jin Kingdom, not to cause large-scale destruction.

So it's enough to kill the branch master.

The head of the hospital...... It's a fluke that picked up a life.

After observing the Demon Mansion for a while, Xiang Yuan jumped into the sky, and the hundred-meter dragon wings suddenly unfolded and flew into the distance.

......

After Yangdan County.

The surrounding Yin veins of 16 outer counties, including Zhongcheng County, Fengwang County, Xuqing County, Yitai County, Shunqiu County, and Miryong County, have been broken and sealed one after another.

And on the day when the Yin vein was broken, the head of the demon mansion or the branch master of this county demon mansion would be attacked by a mysterious murderer.

Of the sixteen outer counties, only three people escaped the attack by this person.

But it was only a life that was recovered, and none of the three of them found out who the other was.

The yin veins of the outer counties were picked one after another, and at the same time, the chaos also gave the inner counties close to the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom a wake-up call.

When Xiang Yuan destroyed the Yin Vein of Neijun next, they set up an ambush in advance, so that Xiang Yuan was almost surrounded.

But because of the stealth skill of the Wind Step, there is also a nine-fold coffin aura.

Several encirclements not only did not succeed, but made Xiang Yuan go crazy!

After killing several branch lords and court heads who participated in the siege on the spot, and destroying the yin veins of several inner counties, he left in style.

After this battle, the chaos within the Jin Kingdom became more and more intractable and difficult.

In the face of such a murderer who came and went without a trace, he launched a rush to the general atavistic realm demons who couldn't bear it at all.

For a while, there was a rumor in the entire Jin Kingdom, and Xiang Yuanguang was worried that he would go and return.

If you haven't been there, you're worried every day, and you don't know when it's going to be your turn.

In this increasingly serious domestic situation, the Jin court finally couldn't sit still.

Quickly dispatch seven Celestial Atavistic Demons to search the whole country for Xiang Yuan's traces, and it is bound to kill him.

......

months later.

Xiang Yuan, who was in the dust, returned to the border between the Jin Kingdom and Daliang.

After months of hard work, he wore the stars and the moon, day and night, turning the Jin Kingdom upside down, breaking twenty-seven Yin vein seals in a row.

Let nearly half of the power within the entire Jin Kingdom be used to suppress the Yin Rebellion.

Standing on the border of the Jin Kingdom, Xiang Yuan turned his head and glanced behind him, where the demon clouds covered the sky and the wilderness, gloomy and dark.

Seven large shadows were wandering among them, and from time to time a seeping gaze lit up in the thick fog like a large searchlight, as if searching for something.

You guys look for it slowly, you will go first.

The mission in the Jin State has been basically completed, Xiang Yuan spread his dragon wings across the Nu River, and returned to the Great Liang country.

When he returned to Dongtu this time, in addition to finding the young merchant to get back the favor from 30,000 years ago, he also had a task.

Originally, he planned to complete this task first and then set off for the Jin Kingdom.

But because when he came back, the oppression of the Jin State on the Great Liang and other four kingdoms was already very serious.

Therefore, he could only go to the Jin Kingdom first, and after asking for the favor back, he would stir up the pot of water in the Jin Kingdom and make time for his next task.

Standing on the bank of the river, looking at the seven star-level demons who were still looking for him on the land of the Jin Kingdom opposite, Xiang Yuan silently remembered the breath of these demons.

After chasing me for more than a month, it must have been very cool.

It's okay, when Lao Tzu is done, I'll come to you.

We'll have to do a good job then.

Talk!

Pinched his finger bones and made a snapping sound, and Xiang Yuan's eyes showed a bit of anger.

He has the instinct of martial arts to chase souls for thousands of miles, as long as he remembers the breath of these demons, when he looks for them in the future, he will get close to a certain range, and he will have a sense in the dark.

Even if you hide underground, you will be found by him.

Remembering the aura of a few demons, Xiang Yuan turned around and submerged into the Great Liang Country.

......

And what Xiang Yuan didn't know was that when he turned around and returned to the Great Liang Kingdom.

One of the seven demons searching for his traces glanced vaguely in his direction, his huge eyes glinting.

"Master Hou, have you found something?"

Walking to Sima An's side, Lin Jia, the commander-in-chief of the Jin State Wu'an Army, asked softly.

Retracting the light in his eyes, Taichi Hou Sima An shook his head slightly: "No, we have already searched for this area, and it is estimated that the person has fled elsewhere." ”

"This person's whereabouts are erratic, disappearing from time to time, elusive, according to the Hou Ye, will it be ......?"

"Your task and I are to find people, and don't speculate on other things.

Look around again, and if you really can't find it, go back.

Everything will wait for my brother to come back from the Great Demon Ridge, and then make a final decision. Stopping Lin Jia's speculation, Sima commanded in a gentle voice.

"Understood. His eyes moved, Lin Jia didn't say anything, turned around and continued to search.

......

Xiang Yuan, who returned to Daliang, went straight all the way, and in five days, he crossed most of the Daliang country and returned to a familiar city.

The sun is shining brightly, and the spring breeze is swaying.

The faint smell of grass on the tip of the nose makes a warm breath brew in the air.

Zhuyang

Xiang Yuan came to the first big city after leaving his hometown.

It was here that he fought alone against Li Tianhai, who mistakenly obeyed the demon blood out of control, causing himself to be poisoned, and finally encountered the Zhao family brothers and obtained the existence of the Demon Mansion.

It can be said that this is the starting point of a series of subsequent encounters for him.

This time, he worked tirelessly to return to Zhuyang, Xiang Yuan was to find a suitable master for his immortal corpse heart.

After the Immortal Corpse Heart was strengthened by his Human King Blood, it gained the power to unseal the Qi and Blood Seal for the equipper.

So he needs to find a Terran to inherit this equipment and use it to the fullest effect.

And Zhuyang, there is a person he thinks is reliable.

......

Walking into this city that is familiar everywhere, Xiang Yuan found the sect he had been staying in for more than three years according to the memory in his mind - Guanyimen.

"This ......"

After passing through the streets and alleys, he returned to the station of Guan Yimen, looking at the tall building in front of him that had changed the courtyard, Xiang Yuan frowned slightly.

I asked the owner of the tea stall on the side.

"I'm tired of inquiring, where is the Guanyi Gate here, did you move away?"

The boss, who was cleaning up the table, heard Xiang Yuan's words and glanced up at him, his burly and majestic figure made the boss look a little impatient, and he laughed all at once:

"I'm afraid this master hasn't been to Zhuyang for a long time, and the Guanyi Gate has been gone seven years ago.

Now this place is called Haw Par Hall, and the masters in it are no worse than the Guanyi Sect back then. ”

"Gone?" Hearing that Guan Yimen was gone seven years ago, Xiang Yuan was stunned, when he left, there were no masters in the entire Zhuyang.

And he also left the summary of the experience of stepping into the dark to Wang Bai.

It stands to reason that with Wang Bai's level, with his experience summary, he will soon be able to step into the dark energy.

So what is the reason that a Guanyi Gate with a dark master in charge is gone in just three years?

"Do you know how Kanmono didn't have one?"

"It seems that a group of people came to kick the hall, and the owner of the door at that time was defeated, so the gate was snatched away by others and changed to the current Haw Par Hall. The tea stall owner thought for a moment and said.

"Someone kicked out the hall and snatched it?" his eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiang Yuan turned his head to look at the name of the Haw Par Hall behind him.

"What is the name of this steward of the Haw Par Hall?"

Feeling a touch of ferocity unintentionally emanating from Xiang Yuan's body, the boss's body trembled, and goosebumps rose all over his body: "It seems to be surnamed Zhou......

That's right, the surname is Zhou, and it's called Zhou Ronghu!"

"Zhou Ronghu?!" The appearance of a middle-aged man with a banditry face instantly appeared in his mind, and Xiang Yuan sneered: "It's actually this grandson." ”

Pinching his finger bones, Xiang Yuan strode towards the tiger and leopard hall.

Behind him, seeing this master leaving, the tea stall owner breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Xiang Yuan walk towards the Tiger and Leopard Hall, and couldn't help but secretly worry in his heart.

It's bad, I'm afraid this person is an old genus of the Guanmen, if the Haw Par Hall knows that I sold them, wouldn't it ......

His face turned pale, and the owner of the tea stall swallowed nervously, and he didn't dare to do business, so he quickly cleaned up, closed the door and ran home.

......

"Stop! Who are you looking for?"

At the door of the Haw Par Hall, two fat men with a round stick hanging on their left leg stopped Xiang Yuan who came to the door.

Ignoring the two wild boar-like men, Xiang Yuan slightly let go of the restraint of coercion.

The tsunami-like pressure crushed the two men in an instant, and they fell to the ground with a bang, and their crotches quickly moistened and turned yellow.

The huge spiritual power instantly covered the entire Tiger and Par Hall, and found Zhou Ronghu who was sweating like rain in the practice room.

With a shake of his body, he came to the practice room in the blink of an eye, raised his foot to Xiang Yuan, and kicked the door into powder.

Bang –

There was a loud bang, and Zhou Ronghu, who was naked in the room, turned around suddenly, just in time to see the picture of the door being kicked into powder by Xiang Yuan.

Thick eyebrows frowned and looked at Xiang Yuan outside the door, Zhou Ronghu slowly straightened up.

Entering the practice room, Xiang Yuan looked indifferently at Zhou Ronghu in front of him.

"Where is Wang Bai?"

"Who are you?" Zhou didn't seem to have seen Your Excellency. Looking at Xiang Yuan solemnly, Zhou Ronghu slowly stood up sideways and put on a posture that could attack at any time.

"Finally, I ask you again, where is Wang Bai?"

A golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and Xiang Yuan's voice was slightly cold, slaughtering the murderous aura formed by countless demon yin gods, forming a boundless and terrifying shadow behind it.

This level of killing intent is something that ordinary people like Zhou Ronghu can resist.

Poof, he fell to his knees, Zhou Ronghu trembled and was shocked: "I, I, I, I said, I said." ”

......

At the corner of a street in Zhuyang North City.

An old beggar with gray hair, unkempt hair and a round belly was dragging his two crippled legs and struggling to pick up the swill from a restaurant.

I don't know how long the swill has been left, it is extremely turbid and foul-smelling.

But the old beggar, as if he could not smell or see at all, grabbed the contents of the bucket with a large handful, stuffed it into his mouth, and then chewed twice and swallowed it.

At the mouth of the lane, looking at the old beggar who was eating swill, Xiang Yuan let go of the hand that was holding Zhou Ronghu's neck.

"Let's go. ”

"Thank you, thank you. I didn't expect Xiang Yuan to let himself go so easily, Zhou Ronghu was overjoyed, grateful to Dade, he didn't care about his image at all, and ran away.

Letting go of Zhou Ronghu, Xiang Yuan slowly walked to the old beggar's side, squatted down, and grabbed his hand to eat swill.

"I've suffered all these years, come with me. ”

was grabbed by Xiang Yuan's hand, and the old beggar instinctively held his head with his other hand, as if he was often beaten and had developed a conditioned reflex.

But when he hugged his head and heard Xiang Yuan's voice, his nervous body suddenly trembled.

Lowering his hand, through the messy hair that blocked his eyes, the old beggar's cloudy eyes gradually regained some light.

At the same time, he involuntarily left two lines of tears.

"Xiang ...... Toward...... To ......"

It seemed that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the old beggar recognized Xiang Yuan, but he was never able to say the familiar name.

Ignoring the stench and filth on the old beggar's body, Xiang Yuan hugged him: "Brother, suffered. ”

The moment "Xiang Yuan ......" was hugged by Xiang Yuan, the old beggar burst into tears, and finally shouted out the familiar name as he wished.

"Don't worry, I'll keep your hatred for you.

When I heal you, I will let you take revenge in person!"

......
