Chapter 44: The Conspiracy of the Demons
The prosperity of the Upper Realm has continued, and it is peaceful on the surface, but there is an undercurrent.
A hundred years of recuperation, as well as the improvement of the cultivation realm of martial artists, have made the people of the world almost forget the terrifying demon spirit of the desolate north.
"Isn't the demon spirit sealed in the Wasteland?
"The Deserted North is sealed...... But what about other places. ”
The matter originated from the Lingqing Continent, a small realm in the upper realm.
One day, a Nether Realm cultivator passed through a village and found that the entire village had died, and the death was extremely miserable, all of them had been absorbed and died.
Moreover, there was a trace of black mist hovering above the corpse, and the cultivator was shocked, feeling that such a situation was too weird, so he reported it to the person in charge of this area, the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion didn't think so, and only thought that it might be a tragedy caused by some evil demons' crooked cultivation of demonic skills, because there have been a lot of cultivators and collateral cultivators on the mainland over the years, and some of them inevitably went astray.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion only issued a reward order to arrest the village slaughterer, and there was no other speculation, and the Nether Monks were helpless, and the City Lord's Mansion filed a case like this.
The monk also took his leave and continued to practice, and this was the end of the matter.
However, only a week later, three villages in the border villages under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion suffered the tragedy of Tongle, and the City Lord's Mansion realized that it was not so simple, and the city guards were also dispatched to investigate.
And the City Lord's Mansion reported the incident to the Empire, and the Empire responded three days later and sent a team of Soul Monarch level teams to investigate.
But two days later, when the investigation team appeared in the frontier city, they found that the city had turned into a ghost town.
There was no one alive in the city, and the investigation team found some strange creatures operating in the city.
The creatures were pitch black, with sharp fangs, long tongues, long pointed blades, and some bony wings, and this squad was also a relatively strong squad, and it was going to those monsters right now.
He also killed a dozen, but he was also injured, and later found that there were many monsters in the city, and a few survivors were also protected and evacuated.
Returning to the imperial capital to report what he had seen, the people in the imperial capital obviously knew a lot, which was very similar to the appearance of the demon spirits in the demon domain recorded in the royal classics.
opened the way of heaven and reported the matter to the upper realm, and the upper realm actually came directly from the palace to investigate the matter.
At this time, many continents in the small realm were sending messages to the upper realm, and this kind of similar situation actually happened in thousands of other small realms, which was even more unusual.
As a result, thousands of small realms were sent by the Jue Palace to send palace warriors there, and they found that the people who appeared in these places were all demonic spirits who had invaded the upper realm before.
But the ones who appeared on these continents were some demon spirits whose strength was not very strong, and the strongest ones were only close to the lord level.
You must know that the strength of the upper realm and the lower realm that has gone through a thousand years ago is not a thousand years ago when the demon spirit invaded.
Take the twelve palace members of the Jue Palace as an example, the number of palace members in each hall is not less than 100,000, and the number of people in each hall who reaches the Soul King in the middle to upper strength is close to 50,000.
These soul king levels are not as good as they were thousands of years ago, and almost all of their strength can single-handedly take on the demon spirit lord level.
And above the middle is the Soul Venerable, the partial general of the Soul Saint level, and they can all take on the Abyss level alone.
Not to mention the Elders' retreat, no matter what level the earthly old monsters have reached.
Therefore, these demon spirits are not to be feared in the eyes of those palace priests, and even the entire upper realm has this mentality, so this also lays a hidden danger for the future.
"What's the matter?"
When the first batch of demon spirits were sent by the twelve halls of the palace to be destroyed.
And those twelve palace priests wandered in the small realm for a few days, and after staying for a few days, they returned to the upper realm.
But soon after returning, these demons appeared out of nowhere, so the upper realm sent them down and destroyed them.
However, it was eliminated and reappeared, and in the process of elimination, some of the temple priests actually discovered that some demon spirits had demon cores in their bodies.
Moreover, this demon core can also be beneficial to the cultivation of the Jue Soul, and it is also reported to the Twelve Palaces, and finally the Twelve Palaces will make a decision at that time......
Also a decision until today.
"What decision?"
That is, the small realm branch hall that set up twelve halls in the thousands of small realms, and the upper realm sent a part of the elites in the twelve halls, the composition of the soul venerable level. 、
However, the other palace members of the branch hall are all selected in their respective small realm continents, and a part of the elite branch hall members are selected every three years to supplement the upper realm main hall.
Another point in the branch hall of the small realm is to assist the small realm empire in supervising the changes in the small realm continent, but not to interfere too much in the state affairs of the empire's rulers.
And because the demon spirits in the small realms are everywhere, but the source is unknown, but the strength of the demon spirits is not to be feared, and the cultivation of the soul warrior is beneficial.
Therefore, in the place where the demons are everywhere, an enchantment is set up to prevent the demons from invading.
However, a region is set aside for the demon spirits to multiply, and the branch halls and the small realm are sent every year to have talented soul awakeners.
Enter the enchantment, hunt the demon spirit demon core to cultivate yourself, and also temper your own combat power, and the place of the enchantment will become a battlefield in the future, called the Demon Domain Battlefield.
And the small realm branch hall has to pay a part of the magic core to the upper realm main hall every three years.
"Demon Domain Battlefield?"
"The first point is to set up a branch hall in the small world and absorb talents from the small world, which I think is very good. 、
"But the Demon Domain Battlefield, how do I feel that this is a bit like raising demon spirits in captivity to temper martial artists, so that fighting to raise wars will certainly improve the combat power of martial artists in the small realm. ”
"But it always feels a little weird, if the Demon Domain army has a stronger attack, it won't be over. ”
The Council of Elders naturally considered this point, but in the end, the Council of Elders was still a minority and obeyed the majority.
And the second-generation lord at that time, who was also a very belligerent lord with extremely strong strength, won his support, and this matter was settled. ”
"What about the second generation lord, the Zhong'an people obviously didn't plan to tell him when they looked at Yun Xun.
Yun Xun was also interested and did not ask deeply.
"And then?"
Later, it went on like this, and the Demon Domain Battlefield has always existed.
And after a hundred years of demon spirits, the area occupied by demon spirits has completely become a place for demon spirits to breed, as if there is another demon world.
And the Demon Realm Battlefield gave birth to many rare things in the Demon Realm, and there are many things that are very beneficial to human warriors.
In the past hundred years, a large number of powerful small realm martial artists have been cultivated on the battlefield of the Demon Domain, and there are many who have entered the upper realm.
In the Nether, many of the specialties of the Demon Domain Battlefield are also circulated, and even the demon bodies and cores of some demon spirits are privately sold in the underground auction hall.
The demon spirit seems to have become the fish on the knife in the eyes of the people, and it has become less terrifying, the small world sees it as such, and the upper world is even more so.
Until that day......
Another hundred years later, the seal of the Upper Desolate North suddenly erupted without warning.
However, the enchantment left by the first lord is still strong after thousands of years, but the portal seal has been opened, and the demon spirit has poured in again.
The Jue Palace naturally sent people to it, and the elite army of the Twelve Palaces was sent to the enchantment to exterminate it.
Sure enough, the power of the Jue Palace was strong, and the first monsters that poured out were all killed.
However, the portal is not sealed, and the demon spirits are becoming more and more powerful, and it is not surprising that the abyss level is not surprising.
In the end, there was a direct domination level, and the palace priests sent couldn't resist at all.
At this time, the elders decided that the elders and the four lords would go together to seal the portal to avoid the loss of the elite of the palace.
So, the fourth lord and the twelve elders went to the barren north to seal the portal.
But...... This seal is a big conspiracy......
