Volume 2 Riding the Wind Chapter 123 The Wind and Rain Are Coming
Zhang Mu felt from the beginning that the matter of the corpse demon was not as simple as it seemed, and when he was trying to find out the hidden truth step by step.
These three bronze corpse demons with important information just appeared in front of him, how could they not make people suspicious?
Since he already had a certain understanding of the corpse demon and the blood refining array diagram, he tried to deceive the red bronze corpse demon in front of him with words, but he didn't expect to really deceive some unusual information.
Zhang Mu stepped on the ribs of the red bronze corpse demon, and began to increase his strength little by little, and at the same time said, "Say, what is your purpose?" ”
"Tu, slaughter the city alchemy!" The bronze corpse demon said in a trembling voice.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he was first shocked in his heart, and then carefully observed the change in the expression of this red bronze corpse demon, and found that it didn't seem to be lying, and said, "Where is the location?" ”
"Spirit Cliff City." The Bronze Corpse Demon said.
"Huh?"
Zhang Mu sighed lightly, and couldn't help but secretly think, could it be that Cai Xu was involved with these corpse demons?
Otherwise, why did Cai Xu deliberately guide him to the territory of Dongming Mansion, and he happened to bump into these red bronze corpse demons who had no ability to resist, so that he easily got these seemingly extremely important news.
All of this seems to be unrelated, but it is faintly interlinked.
Temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, came to the other red bronze corpse demon who was on the verge of death, found the weakness on the two ribs, threatened to interrogate it, and got the same information as this red bronze corpse demon said.
Zhang Mu pondered for a moment, and as his dark eyes gradually lit up, he finally spied some clues.
Then he cleanly disposed of the two red bronze corpse demons, put away the three incomplete blood refining array diagrams, and sacrificed the colorful sky feathers and left here.
When Zhang Mu's figure disappeared into the sky, the devouring scorching hidden in the distance quietly walked out, first came to the mountain stream to check the corpse of the three-headed red copper corpse demon, and then began to fly towards the Lingya Mansion.
After a while.
Zhang Mu's figure reappeared here, his eyes looked coldly at the direction of his departure, and then he took out a communication talisman and sent a message of support to Fuyao Palace.
Then, he also began to fly towards the Lingya Mansion.
...
In the territory of Lingya Mansion, in the secret cave of the hidden valley.
After returning from the devouring scorch, he came to the Silver Corpse Demon, bowed down and said, "Lord, according to your wishes, the news of the slaughter of the city has been passed on to that Zhuji Patrol. ”
"Did he get suspicious?" The Silver Corpse Demon asked.
"Not as far as I can see." Burn said.
"Very well, you go down."
The Silver Corpse Demon waved his hand and retreated, stood in place and thought for a moment, then flew out of the valley.
Half a day later.
The silver corpse demon came to a ten-mile pavilion outside Dongming City, and rolled up a faint spiritual light and threw it into the city.
After a while.
Zhan Shun descended from the sky to the edge of the pavilion, saw the silver corpse demon, and said, "You are in a hurry to find me, could it be that there has been a change in the "Blood Refining Plan"?" ”
The silver corpse demon looked at Dongming City in the distance and said, "There is indeed a little problem. ”
"What's the problem?" Zhan Shun asked.
The silver corpse demon smiled and said, "Cai Xu knows about the cooperation between you and me. ”
"Oh." Zhan Shun responded indifferently and said, "Then what? ”
The silver corpse demon looked at Zhan Shun's face as usual, and said: "I'm afraid that in a few days, he will send a request for help to the Dongming Mansion, and seconded some county guards to defend Lingya City." ”
After hearing this, Zhan Shun also looked at Dongming City and said, "You mean to say that he wants to use the combat power of my Dongming Mansion to protect Lingya City?" ”
"That's true." The Silver Corpse Demon nodded, and then said, "What do you think here?" ”
Zhan Shun said with a cold expression: "Naturally, I won't second one person and one pawn!" ”
The silver corpse demon looked at Zhan Shun with a smile and said, "Your attitude suddenly made me feel a lot more at ease!" ”
Zhan Shun's grim gaze met the Silver Corpse Demon and said, "After the 'Blood Refining Plan' is opened, are Dongming City and Lingya City within the scope of your slaughter?" ”
"Not bad!" The Silver Corpse Demon generously admitted, and said, "In one city, the blood of hundreds of thousands of people can refine a few 'Ten Thousand Blood Yin Yang Pills' at most. ”
"After I succeed, I will give you the Zhiyang Dan power in the Dan, and I don't know if the remaining Zhiyin Dan power can let me break through to the realm of Jindan."
"Just in case, I made a plan to slaughter the two cities!"
The Ten Thousand Blood Yin Yang Pill is a peerless Demon Pill that circulates in the Bloodthirsty Demon Palace, and it needs to be guided by the Blood Refining Array Diagram, plus the blood of tens of thousands of living people, to be refined.
After the Dan is completed, it contains the purest yin and yang powers, and there is a certain chance of helping people climb to the realm of Jindan!
After hearing this, Zhan Shun showed a slight displeasure on his face, and said, "Didn't you say that you would only slaughter one city?" ”
"If only one city is slaughtered, which city will I choose between you and Cai Xu?" The silver corpse demon said.
Zhan Shun was speechless for a while, neither he nor Cai Xu wanted anything to happen to the city under his rule.
Otherwise, even if he relied on the Zhiyang Dan of the "Ten Thousand Blood Yin Yang Pill" to enter the realm of Jindan afterwards, he might not be able to sit firmly in the position of the county guard of Tangyang County.
After a moment of silence, Zhan Shun snorted coldly and said, "Since this is the case, then it depends on who can get out of the whole body after the success of the "Blood Refining Plan"!" ”
The Silver Corpse Demon smiled again and said, "Then you and I are still going according to the original plan?" ”
"It's business as usual!" Zhan Shun said
"Since nothing has changed, I'll go back and prepare first." The silver corpse demon moved and flew out of the pavilion.
Zhan Shun stood in the pavilion for a while, and said to himself: "If some county guards are seconded to Lingya City, it will not only help the success of the 'Blood Refining Plan', but also use this as an excuse to get rid of the responsibility for failing to protect the city!" ”
"Hmph, Cai Xu, Cai Xu, you are really calculating!"
In the end, Zhan Shun still decided that as long as Cai Xu asked him for help, he agreed to seconded some county guards to Lingya City.
...
After Zhang Mu returned to Lingya City from Dongming Mansion, he came to the mansion for the first time.
In the main hall.
Cai Xu saw Zhang Mu return and said, "Inspector Zhang, can you gain anything from this investigation?" ”
"There are indeed some gains."
As Zhang Mu spoke, he took out the three incomplete blood refining array diagrams and put them on the table in front of the two, paying attention to the change in Cai Xu's expression with the rest of his eyes, and said, "What is the purpose of Cai Fuzhi's recognition of these array diagrams?" ”
Zhang Mu's move was to test Cai Xu to see if he was involved in the slaughter of the city that the Red Bronze Corpse Demon said.
At the moment when Zhang Mu took out the blood refining array diagram, Cai Xu secretly said in his heart that his plan to turn into a silver corpse demon was indeed successful.
Picking up the Blood Refining Array Diagram, he pretended to frown and looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said, "Forgive Cai's shallow knowledge and can't see what these array diagrams are for. ”
Then he asked, "Where did Inspector Zhang get these formation diagrams?" ”
Zhang Mu saw Cai Xu's expression as usual, and said: "On the way to investigate the corpse demons in Dongming City, I encountered a few red bronze corpse demons, and after cutting them off, I searched them out!" ”
Zhang Mu didn't tell the truth about the scene at that time, he wanted to test Cai Xu again from the side to see if he understood the specific strength of the red bronze corpse demon, so as to judge whether he was involved with those red bronze corpse demons.
When Cai Xu heard this, he sneered in his heart, he thought that only Zhang Mu, who had built a foundation and cultivated, would definitely not be able to kill the red bronze corpse demon with the strength of gathering spirits.
Immediately heard that Zhang Mu was testing him, and said secretly, "I didn't expect this son to be so thoughtful, after the success of the "Blood Refining Plan", he must not be left alive, so as not to let him see the clues afterwards!" ”
Thinking of this, Cai Xu showed a look of respect on his face, and said: "Inspector Zhang is mighty, and he can actually kill the red bronze corpse demon!" ”
"Dare to ask Inspector Zhang, is there a difference between this bronze corpse demon and the ordinary corpse demon you usually see?"
When Zhang Mu heard the inquiry, he replied casually: "There are some differences, and the strength will be much stronger than them!" ”
Cai Xu's face showed a look of understanding, and then he pointed to the array diagram in his hand and said, "Then what is the use of these array diagrams, can Inspector Zhang find out?" ”
Zhang Mu knew that he would definitely not be able to say the path of the Blood Refining Array at this time.
Otherwise, whether Cai Xu colluded with the corpse demon or not, it would be very unfavorable to him.
So, pretending to know nothing, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what these formations are used for. ”
Then he changed the conversation and said, "However, when I killed them, I got even more shocking news! ”
"What's the news?" Cai Xu asked.
Zhang Mu said slowly: "They want to slaughter the city for alchemy, and they are still in Lingya City!" ”
"What?" Cai Xu got up in shock, paced back and forth in the hall for a while, and said, "What is the truth of this matter?" ”
Zhang Mu shook his head lightly and said, "I can't judge for the time being, but I think this matter should be true." ”
Cai Xu stood in place and thought for a while, and said: "Whether it is true or not, we must be fully prepared, and we must not let the tragic situation in Blackstone County happen again!" ”
"If this is true, what is Cai Fuzhi going to do next?" Zhang Mu asked.
Cai Xu said: "This matter is too sudden, Cai needs to think about how to deal with it." ”
"In that case, then I will also help Cai Fuzhi patrol the territory of Lingya Mansion to see if I can find the traces of these corpse demons in advance, and try not to let the city slaughter happen."
Zhang Mu made an excuse and left the mansion.
Subsequently, Cai Xu called Wei Ling Miao Qing and asked him to go to Dongming Mansion to ask Zhan Shun for help according to the previous plan.
The outer city of Lingya City.
Zhang Mu flew in mid-air with a colorful sky feather, thinking solemnly.
Just now in the main hall of the mansion, although Cai Xu's murderous intention revealed to him was fleeting, he was keenly captured.
Therefore, he suddenly stopped the temptation later, and after saying that the corpse demon wanted to slaughter the city and alchemy, he hurriedly left the mansion.
Zhang Mu glanced back at Lingya City and said to himself, "Why did Cai Xu reveal murderous intentions to me? Could it be that he really colluded with these corpse demons? ”
"If there is real collusion, then what is his purpose?"
While thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me that the Blood Refining Array Diagram was a necessary array diagram used to refine the "Ten Thousand Blood Yin Yang Pill".
For a moment, I seemed to understand Cai Xu's plan!
