Chapter 268

After some clouds and rain in Wushan, Zhao Qingmei's red lips lightly opened with a slightly panting voice.

An Jing also took a breath, and then put the palm of her hand on her lower abdomen, and suddenly a stream of heat passed through and merged into her dantian.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Qingmei asked coquettishly.

An Jing didn't speak, and the true qi in her body continued to pour into her dantian,

Feeling the change in the sea of qi, his brow furrowed suddenly.

Ordinary people's qi sea is a milky white brilliance, but Zhao Qingmei's qi sea is dark, and this dark brilliance is precisely because of the demon seed in the center of the qi sea.

The Demon Sect exercises already pay attention to the sword going sideways, and the "Nine Shades Purgatory Demon Codex" is even more extreme of extremes, especially the back layers are even more terrifying when they listen to it.

In fact, the birth of the demon seed is extremely difficult, if it were not for the help of great masters like Nan Weiping, even if Zhao Qingmei's qualifications wanted to give birth to the demon seed, it would take a certain amount of time.

The demon seed can indeed derive a large amount of true qi, which makes Zhao Qingmei's cultivation improve rapidly.

And as the demon seed gradually takes root and sprouts, it will reach Dacheng, that is, the realm of the ninth layer of heavenly demons, also known as entering the demon.

Reaching this realm, its own strength will also rise, according to An Jing's guess, it is similar to "The Great Sun Rulai Mantra", the difference is that the demon is every moment, and the "Da Ri Rulai Mantra" is only effective when it is cast.

But the root of the demon seed is not as simple as it seems, and it will be accompanied by unimaginable crises.

First of all, the demon seed will affect the spiritual mind, which is dangerous and unpredictable, like a lonely boat falling into the turbulent sea, without roots and no evidence, it is simply ten deaths.

In addition, now that this demon seed has been manipulated by Nan Weiping, it has made Zhao Qingmei's spiritual mind even more paranoid, if the cultivator is not careful, and is affected by the spiritual intention, he will go mad at best, and at worst, he will never recover, and his form and spirit will be destroyed.

Most of the masters who have cultivated this "Nine Shades Purgatory Demon Codex" throughout the ages have ended up in defeat and death, and there are some masters of great perseverance and great luck.

Feeling the fluctuation of the spiritual intention coming from the demon seed, An Jing frowned slightly, "There is something wrong with this demon seed..."

Zhao Qingmei asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Her cultivation has improved so quickly, and ninety percent of the credit is on this demon seed, and she suddenly became a little nervous when she heard An Jing's words.

An Jing looked at Zhao Qingmei with a serious face, and said, "This demon seed is affecting you all the time, and if you are not careful, you will go mad." ”

Zhao Qingmei chuckled, "It turns out that what you said is this, I have known this for a long time, and there are also descriptions and explanations in the Nine Shades Purgatory Demon Codex, I don't think it will have any effect on me at all." ”

An Jing shook his head and said seriously: "You are wrong, the most powerful thing about this demon seed is this, the more determined the person, the greater the influence, the demon seed will give you more paranoia, stubbornness, this subtle influence is the most terrifying." ”

If it is Tan Yun's kind of heart, the demon seed will have little impact on it, but the more tenacious and mature people like Zhao Qingmei, the greater the impact.

Zhao Qingmei gently leaned into An Jing's arms and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, I know it." ”

An Jing felt that Zhao Qingmei's sea of qi had been covered by the demon seed, how could he be relieved, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you don't give up this demon seed..."

Zhao Qingmei pursed her lips and said, "How can it be done?" The demon seed is now one with my dantian, if the demon seed is shattered, my dantian will also be shattered, and when the time comes, all my cultivation will be in vain. ”

"With your qualifications, it will be very fast to re-cultivate."

"Re-cultivation?"

Zhao Qingmei sat up directly, frowned, and said: "Now that there is a danger outside the Demon Sect, and there are also people in the sect who are panicking, I am abandoning my cultivation as the sect leader?" ”

"The three sects of the Demon Sect, the Heaven and Earth, the four first tens of thousands of sects, and the more than 60,000 people of the Black Armor Army are all in my hands, if I lose my cultivation, they will only have one fate, and that is death."

An Jing's lips opened, and he stopped talking.

This demon seed is always a potential crisis, like a double-edged sword,

If you use it, you can make Zhao Qingmei's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, but if you don't use it well, it is very likely to hurt yourself.

Now that this demon seed has begun to exert its strength, cultivation has made Zhao Qingmei advance by leaps and bounds.

It was even more difficult for her to give up the demon seed and re-cultivate.

If it were An Jing himself, how would he choose?

I'm afraid that like Zhao Qingmei, I will choose to believe in my mind and perseverance, and I can restrain the influence of this demon seed.

"As long as my heart is not affected, when my cultivation surpasses Nan Weiping, what will she do with her hands and feet on the demon seed?"

Zhao Qingmei comforted An Jing and said: "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely be able to handle this matter, the most important thing at the moment is Houjin, they dare to kill my sect master in my Dongluo Pass, this time they must let them learn some lessons." ”

Speaking of this, a fine light appeared in Zhao Qingmei's eyes.

An Jing didn't speak, still a little worried in his heart.

This kind of paranoia will amplify Zhao Qingmei's inner desire, and what is Zhao Qingmei's desire?

Grand Ambition Hegemony!?

Or something else!?

But Zhao Qingmei is not an ordinary woman after all, she will not obey An Jing's words, nor will she be 'at the mercy' of An Jing.

An Jing gently stroked the smooth jade back, "Then you have to be very careful, don't be reckless." ”

"I see."

Zhao Qingmei was lying on An Jing's body like a kitten, and the movements in her hands were indeed becoming more and more dishonest, and her red lips were lightly opened with a tail note.

"Brother~!"

North Wilderness Road, East Daying outside the source city.

The last time the Jin army killed 200,000 Houjin, the prestige of Wuhou Wang Shiyi was greatly boosted again, although the government and the opposition knew that this war was exchanged for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and there were people who blamed Wang Shiyi, but there were not many.

Because many people know in their hearts that if the Yan Kingdom is in decline in the last war, not only will the Northern Wilderness Road fall into the quagmire of war, but the Zhao State and the Southern Barbarians will also wait for the opportunity to move, and then the Yan Kingdom will instantly fall into an embattled situation.

Therefore, in that battle, we must not lose, but can only win.

This big victory not only boosted the morale of Yan State, but also made Nanban and Zhao State jealous and did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that Yan Guo is not a camel, but a tiger.

But Wang Shiyi and Li Qirong knew that this was only temporary, and Houjin Sharpening Dao Huo Huo would not stop going south because of the loss of 200,000 troops, they were just licking their wounds and waiting for a better time to come.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the real war is about to break out, and when the time comes, not only the Houjin will attack, but also the Nanban and Zhao will encircle and suppress the Yan State, which is what worries the Yan State the most.

After all, in the face of Houjin or Zhao State, the strength of Yan State is not false, but if it is encircled and suppressed by many forces, it will be a catastrophe.

But in the Yan Kingdom, which is in the center of the world, this seems to be unavoidable.

In the tent, Wang Shiyi squatted on a chair and looked at the sand table in front of him, muttering:

"Fuck his grandmother's post-gold miscellaneous, it's about to end the year, and it won't let people rest for a while."

The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to hide people's ears, not to mention that people from all over the world are always staring at the army of Houjin.

In addition, the Tianluo Net and the letterhead from the Demon Sect were all placed next to the sand table, and it was extremely difficult for Wang Shiyi to pretend that he didn't see it.

Li Qirong said in a deep voice: "Dongluo Pass is now a barrier of my Yan Kingdom, if it is lost, then Houjin will be able to go south unscrupulously." ”

Wang Shiyi picked up a bunch of grapes, hung it in front of him, and then bit one, and agreed very much with Li Qirong's words, "The combat power of the Houjin soldiers is stronger than that of my Yan Kingdom,

Moreover, there are many cavalry, if Houjin Tie rides through the secluded mountain, there is a plain in front of him, it will be difficult to resist them. ”

In the last war, when the army of Yan Kingdom ambushed the Houjin army, it also had a battle, so Wang Shiyi also had a certain understanding of the strength of the Houjin army.

In terms of individual combat ability, the fierce and savage grassland people are indeed stronger than the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, especially the Houjin army has the participation of the masters of the Suo Ming Mansion.

It is even more lethal.

Li Qirong looked at Wang Shiyi, "There are only 60,000 black armor troops in Dongluo Pass, and it is too difficult to hold the hundreds of thousands of troops in Houjin, this time we must go north to assist Dongluo Pass in fighting against the army of Houjin." ”

Wang Shiyi bowed slightly, and said: "If you go north, you must go north, but the key is how to go north, and when to go north, presumably Li Junshi has already planned something, right?" ”

From a long-term point of view, Dongluo Pass and the North Wilderness Road are the relationship between the lips and the teeth, and now looking at the Dongluo Pass being breached, then the next one to suffer must be the North Wilderness Road, so this time the Houjin attack on the East Luo Pass, Wang Shiyi must take action.

A cold light appeared in Li Qirong's eyes, "If Houjin's hundreds of thousands of troops attack Dongluo Pass, Beiyuan will inevitably be empty, Tianshui City is the central city of Beiyuan, if Tianshui City is taken, it will definitely give Houjin a heavy blow, making it difficult to take care of it." ”

Wang Shiyi was shocked when he heard this.

This is not to rescue Dongluoguan, but to go north to take the territory of Houjin,

I have to say that this trick is really wonderful.

When the time comes, it can alleviate the crisis in Dongluoguan, and it can also go straight to Houjin's heart.

Wang Shiyi frowned and said: "If you really take this Tianshui City, you will definitely be counterattacked by Houjin at that time." ”

Now that Yan is taking care of itself, it is not the time to expand its territory.

Li Qirong had already thought about it, and said: "That day, Water City belongs to the central city of the Northern Plains, and it is absolutely impossible for Houjin to give it to me, we can learn from Houjin, and retreat after plundering a large number of resources." ”

"Good! Fuck it! ”

Wang Shiyi heard these fists clenched suddenly, and his heart was also full of blood.

After going north, this is what he has long wanted to do in his heart.

Li Qirong said faintly: "This time, I want to pay tribute to the souls of hundreds of thousands of people in my Yan Kingdom in Tianshui City. ”

Some people say that Li Qirong has no real ability, so Li Qirong designed to ambush and kill the 200,000 Houjin army, and some people say that Li Qirong is too angry and does not care about the lives of the people, so he plans to pay tribute to the souls of hundreds of thousands of people on the head of Tianshui City.

Everything he did seemed to be proof.

Outside Dongluo Pass, the wind and sand are pervasive.

An Jing stood on top of a sand dune and watched the sun shine through the gravel.

Since Kendo reached the sixth realm, his perception and cultivation of kendo have been much slack, not only because he is busy, but also because it is extremely difficult for kendo to make any further progress after reaching the sixth realm.

The sixth realm is that there is no sword in the hand and no sword in the heart.

A swordsman has completely lost his sword, if he doesn't have a sword, how can he practice kendo, and how can he reach the seventh realm.

The seventh realm is known as the last realm of kendo, and no swordsman has ever been heard of reaching this realm throughout the ages, only the "General Outline of Kendo" has been recorded.

But An Jing believes that there must be a swordsman who has reached this realm, and this "General Outline of Kendo" was also written by that swordsman, otherwise no one would be able to describe the realm of kendo in such detail.

In the seventh realm of the way of the sword, the sword and I are one, and the sword is forgotten.

This realm has transcended the mundane and truly reached the realm of immortal Buddhas.

When he reaches this realm, he is the god of the sword, the immortal of the sword, and the first swordsman in the world throughout the ages.

When he was in the fifth realm, An Jing could still get the sword intent of the Four Elephant Sword Ancestors, and Lou Xiang Zhen was a little bit of a clue before entering the sixth realm, but now that he reached the sixth realm, he felt as if he had entered the darkness under the lamp.

I was completely confused about the Seventh Realm.

This is not only a problem that plagues An Jing, but also a problem that plagues countless peerless swordsmen of the Sixth Realm.

How do you get to the Seventh Realm?

An Jing will come to this desert every day, watching the sand under the sun, feeling the vastness and vastness of the desert, completely emptying his mood, and constantly pursuing the mysterious seventh realm.

In addition, he was still feeling the realm of fist and foot refinement.

After swallowing the blood of the true dragon, he directly achieved the body of immaculate.

This was the result of his qualifications and the direct promotion of the True Dragon Blood.

Just as Jun Qinglin once said, some people are born to light up the spiritual lamp.

The next realm of the Innocent Body is the Heavenly and Human Induction, and it is also the Peeling Heaven and Earth of Jun Qinglin's cultivation.

An Jing also has some doubts in his heart, whether the sense of heaven and man is stronger or whether it is stronger to strip heaven and earth, one is to integrate into heaven and earth with the help of its power,

One is to strip the heavens and the earth and untie the shackles of the heavens and the earth.

No matter what it is, for An Jing, he has no clue like the seventh realm of the way of the sword.

If it is said that with the help of Heaven and Earth Lingyuan and the "Nameless Heart Sutra", he can make his cultivation quickly promoted, but about this kind of understanding, it takes a lot of time.

There is also a true understanding of the Tao.

It is impossible to become a real master overnight.

"The sword and I are one, and the sword is forgotten..."

Looking at the yellow sand in front of him, An Jing's mind was completely empty, feeling the gravel and the sun, and temporarily forgetting everything.

In a trance, he saw grains of gravel flying in the air, slower and slower, to a state of stillness, and he could see the grit glistening in the sunlight, but soon the light disappeared again.

The reason why the light is disappearing is because the sun is setting in the sky.

It turned out that he had unconsciously seen that he was standing here and felt the sunset, and the moon was rising.

The desert night was lonely and cold, and when you exhale a breath, it immediately turns into a cloud of white smoke.

An Jing took out the evil sword sword, and at this time, the six sword bodies of the evil sword were one, and under the moonlight, the ancient sword body appeared with a faint glow.

It's cold!

The sword is also cold!

People are even colder!

And the sword light spit out by the evil sword seemed to be even colder, as cold as in people's bones.

"Forget everything, and forget the sword in your hand, and thus forget yourself."

The next moment, the sword in An Jing's hand disappeared, as if it had never appeared,

He lifted his elbow slightly.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth fell into the cold again, and the cold breath pierced people's hearts, which was different from the feeling of cold.

The vast sword qi surged out, reflected in the moonlight, and surged towards the front.

"Phew!"

Sword splits mountains and rivers! The sky is shaking!

Bang bang!

The sword light roared past, and the entire desert gravel trembled, and it was splashed up more than three feet high, and the yellow sand in the sky seemed to form a curtain.

That grain of gravel shimmered with a cold light, piercing people's hearts.

"Whoa! Whoa! ”

After a long time, the sand fell heavily, and the heavens and the earth finally returned to peace.

An Jing stood in the desert, under the moonlight.

But if you look closely, the evil sword is still in the palm of his hand.

The sword was in his hand, and it never disappeared.

"I am not the self, I am not the self, I am not the self. This trick is called selflessness. ”

An Jing looked at the evil sword in his hand, remembered the sword move he had just felt, and then said in a low voice.

Last time, he comprehended the shadowless and formless sword move, which is called the Invisible Dao, and this time he realized a new sword move again, which is called the Selfless Dao.

"Whew..."

An Jing exhaled lightly, and this time he realized a new sword move, which made him even more aware that reaching the seventh realm was not such a simple matter, and there was still a huge difference between it and the sixth realm.

This gap is not clear, because what is clear is really understood, just like the distance between a person and the stars, you can see but you can't see clearly.

"The seventh realm is the realm of the Immortal Buddha, if you reach this realm, how terrible and powerful it will be, you will definitely really reach the feeling that the world and I are invincible."

"Gift!"

An Jing withdrew the Evil Suppression Sword and looked into the distance.

A figure appeared in the distance, and finally landed in front of An Jing, and the person who came was Yu Qiurong, "Uncle, it's getting dark, the sect leader asked you to go back and rest." ”

"Okay."

An Jing nodded, and followed Yu Qiurong towards Dongluo Guannei.

Yu Qiurong obediently followed behind An Jing, hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle,

I'll help you with your sword. ”

"It's fine."

An Jing casually threw the evil sword to Yu Qiurong, stepped on the gravel and looked at the cold moon in the sky.

Yu Qiurong held the world-famous evil suppression sword, feeling the residual warmth coming from the hilt, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Time flies like a white horse.

Dongluoguan, Beihuangdao, and Beiyuan seem to be filled with a puff of gunsmoke, and a big war is also about to break out.

The end of the year is coming unconsciously.

With the approaching New Year and the cold weather, the caravan in Dongluo Pass has plummeted, but this does not affect the prosperity and liveliness of this city at all.

Dongluoguan, Fulu Street, Xianghe pawnshop.

This pawnshop has been open in Dongluoguan for 13 years, and it can be regarded as a real time-honored brand in Dongluoguan.

The most in the territory of Dongluoguan is the gambling house, Qinglou, the owner behind it is self-evident, making Dongluoguan the most famous gold cave in the world, every year I don't know how many Yan Guo, Zhao Guo, Houjin thieves go to Dongluoguan chic,

Squandering money from unknown sources.

To be able to open a pawnshop here, not only needs to have a relationship, but also needs to have a certain strength and means, and Mao Xin, the shopkeeper of Xianghe Pawnshop, is such a person.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the auspicious pawnshop is carrying a burden, standing at the door of the pawnshop, looking at the four big characters of bronzing above his head.

It turns out that unconsciously, has been living here for thirteen years.

There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but the light was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.

The pawnshop bookkeeper smiled: "Shopkeeper, you can go with confidence, the small one will definitely take a good look at the shop." ”

"I'm relieved to have you here."

Mao Xin laughed and said, "I'll leave it to you here, you must take good care of this shop." ”

"Shopkeeper Mao, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave for the time being."

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded.

When the shopkeeper of Xianghe Pawnshop heard this, he turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in cyan with a jade plaque hanging from his waist, on which a lifelike green dragon was depicted.

Blue Dragon.

After many years of wandering in Dongluoguan, he naturally knew what this jade plate represented.

As one of the four seats of the Demon Sect, the Blue Dragon Constellation is the guard of the Demon Sect Leader, and is in charge of the Demon Sect's criminal law rewards and punishments.

The person in front of him is Zhu Cheng, the master of the Qinglong Constellation A, who is cultivating in the realm of three products.

"Master Zhu, what kind of wind blew you here today."

Mao Xin smiled, took out a gold ingot from his arms, and quietly came to the master of the Green Dragon Throne, and laughed in a low voice: "Be careful, not respectful, after I leave, I have to take care of Xianghe one or two." ”

On weekdays, he often takes out money to make some connections up and down, thinking that the appearance of the Blue Dragon in front of him is also asking for benefits.

Anyway, he is about to leave, and the shopkeeper of the Xianghe pawnshop is also extremely generous.

Zhu Cheng weighed the gold in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe Shopkeeper Mao didn't hear what I said clearly just now, and you can't leave today." ”

Mao Xin was shocked, but said quietly on his face: "Oh? It's..."

Zhu Cheng said lightly: "We want to see you first." ”

Mao Xin was a little surprised and asked, "Why did the first lord suddenly want to see me?" ”

"I don't know, Zhu is just acting on orders, please."

As he spoke, Zhu Cheng made a gesture of please.

"Since the first lord wants to see me, it seems that I can't go either."

Mao Xin bowed slightly, followed Zhu Cheng and walked towards Qinglong Hall.

In Dongluoguan, the Demon Sect is the sky.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared in Mao Xin's eyes, and a sharp blade on his cuff stabbed towards Zhu Cheng's throat.

The speed of this blade is extremely fast, and it is impossible to detect it.

"Bell!"

Just as he was about to stab Zhu Cheng in the throat, a long knife blocked the short sword.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Cheng's mouth, "The shopkeeper is deeply hidden, and he is actually a master of the realm of three products." ”

Run!

Mao Xin only felt a cold air rushing to the top of his head, and he went crazy and rushed into the distance.

"Look for death!"

With a wave of the long knife in Zhu Cheng's hand, a narrow black sword qi ran through.

"Taste!"

The knife light directly hit Mao Xin's back, directly cutting the skin and flesh, Mao Xin fell to the ground heavily, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't shout a word.

He stretched out his palm and kept crawling towards the outside of Dongluo Pass.

As long as he leaves this Dongluoguan, he will be safe, and he can be reunited with his family.

But this distance was so close that he could no longer get out.

Wow!

This scene happened very quickly, and there was an uproar on the street, and the work of the peaceful pawnshop was stunned and did not come back to their senses.

Zhu Cheng said indifferently: "Seal the Xianghe pawnshop, and Mao Xin will escort me back." ”

Suzaku Fang, Tube Lane.

As usual, Lu He sorted out the roster and walked home.

He was originally a jinshi in the seventeenth year of the Taiping of the Yan Kingdom, but after the scientific examination, because he did not give gifts to the officials of the imperial department, he was finally assigned to a remote area to be a small official.

Lu He was very resentful at first, but soon bowed his head and accepted his fate, and went with the flow to take bribes and collect a large amount of silver, but because the relationship between the above was not good, the incident occurred before he had been in work for two years.

At that time, the Taiping Emperor promulgated the law, and the greed for ink was a serious crime, according to the amount of his greed for ink, even if he had ten heads, it was not enough to cut off, so he had no choice but to escape from the Yan Kingdom and came to Dongluo Pass.

After all, he was a jinshi back then, and he still had some pen and ink in his belly, and he was soon discovered by the Demon Sect and absorbed into the Vermilion Bird Seat, and he did have some credit in the past few decades, not only did he get a three-entry house, but also married a three-room concubine, and his life was comfortable, and he was naturally loyal to the Demon Sect, and now his position is getting higher and higher, and he is Mu Xiaoyun's most powerful assistant.

Lu He whispered to himself: "If the relationship between Waitian and Yan Kingdom eases today, I can go back to Yan Kingdom next year to see my old mother." ”

Others don't know, but he knows very well that Houjin is menacing this time, and the hope of the Demon Sect to hold Dongluo Pass is too slim, and the only chance is to retreat to the territory of Yan Kingdom.

Let these two behemoths face each other, return to the Yan State Sect, continue to do things for the Demon Sect, and be safer.

The next moment, a cold light came from afar.

Although Lu He is a scholar, he is not a martial artist at all, and he is also a cultivator with the realm of four grades, and he avoids the surging cold arrows with his instinct.

"Buzz!"

That cold arrow was thrust into the ground, shaking continuously, showing the terrifying strength.

"Who!?"

Lu He's heart was cold, and he shouted: "The sneaky rats come out!" ”

"Kill him!"

A low shout sounded, and the two men in black rushed out from all directions to land and kill.

Lu He swept it, and was suddenly shocked in his heart, these two people had cultivation skills that were actually above him.

"Let's go!"

Lu He didn't think much about it, and fled frantically into the distance.

The two of them chased after each other quickly, and the movements in their hands were as fast as lightning, and when they were about to hit Lu He, a long sword blocked the way of the two.

"Not good!"

Both killers had a chill in their hearts, and it was too late to retreat.

"Puff puff!"

The moment the long sword fell, a storm of sword qi formed around them, and the two of them instantly turned into blood and sprinkled in the alley.

Lu He gasped for breath at the moment and looked ahead.

I saw a man with a sword appear at the end of the alley.

"Yi Shouza!?"

Lu He was a little stunned, and then suddenly came back to his senses, "Don't you need to keep your mouth alive?" It seems to me that these people are clearly premeditated. ”

Yi Daoyun said lightly: "These are the dead soldiers of the Suo Ming Mansion, and the sect leader has ordered them all to be killed." ”

"Suo's Mansion..."

Lu He muttered to himself, his heart trembling.

I didn't expect that the masters of Suoming Mansion have already poured into Dongluo Pass, and this courage is too big, I don't know if there are any top masters in this Dongluo Pass, and judging from Suo's behavior, the Jin army is coming soon......

And this bloody scene was constantly staged in Dongluo Pass, Houjin's spies were captured and caught one by one by the masters of the Qinglong Constellation, and the masters of the Suo's Mansion were also intercepted and killed by the masters of the White Tiger Constellation, and no one was left alive.

This is the Demon Cult's response to Houjin.

Dongluo Garden, inside the church.

An Jing, Zhao Qingmei, Yu Qiurong, Duanmu Xinghua, and Mu Xiaoyun sat in the hall.

The rest of the masters of the Demon Sect also have their own families, only Duanmu Xinghua, Mu Xiaoyun, and Yi Daoyun are the real single figures, so Zhao Qingmei invited the two to celebrate the New Year.

Mu Xiaoyun reported on the revenue of the Demon Sect this year, compared with last year, this year's overall revenue tends to decline, on the one hand, there are Houjin sanctions, there are also casualties of the Black Armor Army that need high pensions, and other scattered expenses,

Fortunately, the Demon Sect can now preach in the Yan Kingdom, which can not only make the Demon Sect continuously absorb fresh blood, but also allow the Demon Sect to obtain a certain balance in its financial power.

After Mu Xiaoyun finished speaking, Duanmu Xinghua began to report.

The strength of the Demon Sect has also been hit hard this year, at first the Earth Sect Jiang Renyi and countless Earth Sect masters were assigned and beheaded, and then Yuan Feng rebelled, and the battle of the Russell clan made the Demon Sect masters calculate a lot.

But the strength of the Demon Sect has also expanded, for example, a top Great Sword Immortal Ghost Swordsman has been added, and secondly, Jun Qinglin has also come out, which is undoubtedly the top strength of the Demon Sect has risen to a higher level, even stronger than the True One Sect now.

Zhao Qingmei pondered for a moment and asked, "How many masters of first-grade cultivation and second-grade cultivation are there in the sect now?" ”

Duanmu Xinghua said: "There are seventeen people in the realm of one grade, of which eight are first-grade human flowers, five are first-grade earth flowers, two are first-grade smallpox, and the rest are all newly promoted to the realm of first-grade products, and there are twenty-nine people in second-grade cultivation, most of these first-grade and second-grade cultivators are masters of Tianzong, followed by masters of earthly sects." ”

Zhao Qingmei frowned, this year was indeed turbulent, causing the Demon Sect to lose several masters of the first-grade realm, and the overall strength showed a downward trend.

Moreover, the 70,000 Black Armor Army has also suffered heavy losses, and now there are only more than 60,000 reluctantly plus the reserve army, and the Houjin army is obviously overstretched in the face of hundreds of thousands.

An Jing was eating peanuts by himself, his eyes looked at Mu Xiaoyun from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And Yu Qiurong took in An Jing's small movements, and frowned slightly.

"I received a secret message in the afternoon."

Duanmu Xinghua thought of something and said, "The old sect leader came out of the forbidden land of the Snow Mountain Clan, and then lost his whereabouts, and his specific whereabouts are unknown. ”

Jiang Shang came out!?

An Jing and Zhao Qingmei glanced at each other.

When Yu Qiurong heard this, her brows tightened.

In her heart, Zhao Qingmei's enemy is her enemy.

Zhao Qingmei said in a low voice: "Search with all your might, I want to know his whereabouts." ”

For his master, Zhao Qingmei knows his strength better than anyone else, and the Zhenyi Sect Ye Ding failed to defeat him, and later Ye Ding was plotted by Qi Xuandao, and his strength has not grown much, but Jiang Shang has been steadily improving for decades.

Now his strength is definitely above Ye Ding, and Ye Ding is the cultivation of the four qi, Jiang Shang's cultivation is eighty percent to the peak of the four qi, and even approaching the realm of the five qi, which is indeed a big enemy for An Jing and Zhao Qingmei.

"My subordinates know."

Duanmu Xinghua nodded, but she was a little stunned in her heart.

What she was most worried about was the internal contradictions of the Demon Sect, if Jiang Shang could also return to the Demon Sect, how terrible would the Demon Sect's strength be now?

But now it seems that the two sides will clash, which is unavoidable, especially since Jiang Renyi's casualties are unknown.

In addition, the traitors who have been suspected of appearing recently are not easy to say whether Jiang Shang was hooked before, if so, will it be Lin Tianhai, Yi Daoyun or other masters?

Duanmu Xinghua suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

Immediately after that, after chatting a few more words, Zhao Qingmei took a deep breath, rubbed her temples, and said, "Okay, let's put aside the internal affairs of the sect first.

Let's wait for the good news. ”

Mu Xiaoyun said suspiciously: "Good news, I don't know what good news it is?" ”

"Soon, you'll find out."

Zhao Qingmei looked at Mu Xiaoyun, "During this time, you have worked hard, today is the New Year's Pass, so relax." ”

Suzaku is in charge of all the business, finances, and expenditures of the Demon Sect, and it can be said to be the busiest department in the Demon Sect, and it is also the most important department.

Previously, the first seat of Vermilion Bird was Yu Qiurong, and later because Mu Xiaoyun made great contributions, he gradually gave power to Mu Xiaoyun.

Mu Xiaoyun said sincerely: "Thank you to the sect leader for accepting it, Mu Xiaoyun has always kept it in mind, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, for fear of disappointing the sect leader's expectations." ”

"You can take it to heart, that's the best."

Zhao Qingmei looked at those eyes and said a meaningful word.

Somehow, when she was stared at by those eyes, all her thoughts seemed to be seen through in an instant, and she suddenly felt like she was on pins and needles.

"Master!"

At this moment, a Qinglong master outside the hall walked in, "Lin Shouza has arrived." ”

Zhao Qingmei bowed slightly, "Let him in." ”

Not long after, Lin Tianhai walked into the lobby, and all the masters present were experienced masters, so he could naturally smell the blood on his body.

This made Duanmu Xinghua and Mu Xiaoyun both frown.

Lin Tianhai hugged his fists and said: "Sect Master, all the seven spies of Houjin have been caught, one of them can no longer bear the torture, that Zhang Zihao is really a traitor, and the Poison King is also his poisonous hand, and now he is in Beiyuan Tianshui City, but Yu Du was killed by someone else, and it is said that it is also the hand of my Demon Sect." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Qingmei smiled when she heard this: "Yu Du is a cultivator at the peak of the third grade, there are not many people in my sect who can kill him, right?" Can you find out who this person is? ”

Lin Tianhai replied: "Not yet, these spies of the Suoming Mansion are not high-level, their purpose is to be responsible for investigating the intelligence of Dongluo Pass, and this traitor's identity and status are not ordinary, obviously there is a separate line of contact with Houjin, but dozens of secret letters have also been found in the Houjin spy stronghold, all of which are evidence of the crime of fornication between the people of my demon sect and Houjin." ”

As he spoke, Lin Tianhai took out dozens of secret letters.

Zhao Qingmei asked lightly: "Who are they?" ”

Lin Tianhai said the names of dozens of people in a row, and said: "Dizong Changyu, Pu Caide, Si Baishan, Qinglongzuo Sha Yongjian, Wu Zheng..."

Duanmu Xinghua felt a chill in her heart, several of them were a little familiar to her after hearing them, but she didn't expect these people to take refuge in Houjin unknowingly.

It seems that under the pressure of the behemoth of Houjin, many masters of the Demon Sect are overwhelmed, and they are all born with two hearts, ready to change their doors at any time.

Fortunately, they found out in advance that if they suddenly rebelled during the real battle, the Demon Sect would already be in a weak position, which was likely to be the last straw that crushed them.

Suddenly, Duanmu Xinghua had a feeling of palpitations, and she admired Zhao Qingmei more and more, although she was young, she was indeed sophisticated and calm.

Foolproof.

Unknowingly, a net was laid in the sky.

Zhao Qingmei said expressionlessly: "Kill them all." ”

Lin Tianhai groaned for a while and asked, "Sect Master, do you want to investigate one or two of these people, and you can't get the information of that big fish from them." ”

"No, you don't."

Zhao Qingmei smiled coldly, "I want to see what kind of waves this fish can make." ”

"Yes."

Lin Tianhai hugged his fists, then turned around and left.

Not long after Lin Tianhai left, Yi Daoyun walked in with a sword, and there was still blood on the sword, obviously experiencing a big battle.

You must know that Yi Daoyun is in the realm of a Qi Grandmaster, and being able to make him make a move shows that the opponent's strength should not be weak.

"Sect Master, all the masters sent by the Suo Ming Mansion to assassinate my sect have died, and none of them remained, including five people in the realm of the first grade, nine people in the realm of the second grade, and seventeen people in the realm of the third grade."

"Good."

Zhao Qingmei bowed slightly, "Hang their corpses outside Dongluo Pass and expose them to the sun for three days to set an example." ”

Even if the Suo's Mansion has lost so many masters, I'm afraid it will be regretted.

Even though An Jing had long known that Zhao Qingmei was going to make a move on Houjin, when he heard the results of the report at this moment, he was still secretly amazed in his heart.

My wife, I have to say that her personality is vigorous and resolute, and her methods are also quick to cut through the mess.

After the investigation, the golden spies arrested him, and arranged an anti-ambush in advance, killing a large number of masters of the Suo's Mansion in one fell swoop.

This series of measures undoubtedly boosted morale, relieved the pressure of the next big war, and delayed the pace of the Houjin offensive.

However, An Jing still has worries in his heart, after all, fundamentally,

The hundreds of thousands of troops of Houjin are the most deadly, and they are the most troublesome.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the lobby again, and I saw Lin Tianhai go and return, hugging his fists and saying:

"Sect Master, the Great Elder of the Demon Sealing Platform, and the Second Elder have all arrived."
