Three days later, the branch of the Shadow Moon Hall in Furong City.

In a pitch-black dungeon, a demon was imprisoned, who was captured by the Shadow Moon Temple, and at this time, the demon was locked to a thick stone pillar with his hands, feet, and neck, as if he was tired of struggling, and the demon head was tilted to the left, and there was no movement.

Each branch of the Shadow Moon Hall has a dungeon, about the condemned prisoners, about the criminals who are the most heinous crimes, and this time the dungeon where the demons are imprisoned is the first time since the establishment of the Shadow Moon Palace.

The dungeon was silent, except for the faint sound of the brazier burning wood, only the sound of mosquitoes and rats; not far from the prison where the demons were held stood a strong man in armor, who looked nearly eight feet tall and was as strong as a bear in all parts of his body; on the left shoulder of the strong man, there was an epaulette, on which was tattooed a round and a half moon, the moon was dim, and a white soul was floating inside.

The epaulettes of the senior soul officers of the Shadow Moon Hall are issued by the Shadow Moon Hall once every ten years, one hundred at a time, and those who have done the Tao are successful, and those who have made a high contribution to the Shadow Moon Hall are preferred; the minimum path of the senior soul officer must be above the Dao Xuan Realm, if there is no Dao Xuan Realm, when facing the high-level spirits and high-level demons, they will have no power to fight back.

"I can't tell that the bones are quite hard, and I still don't want to say a word for three days, which is really impressive!" A slightly hoarse voice came from the strong man's mouth.

"The taste of the soul lock is good, I'll give you another chance to tell the origin of the power in your body, otherwise, when the moon shaman arrives, it won't hurt to eat the soul lock, hehehe~"

"I want to know, come here.... Come closer, I'll be quiet.... Tell you.." The demon slowly lifted his tired head, and a small sound came to the strong man's ears, and when the strong man heard this, he walked into the cell and stood in front of the demon, less than a foot away from the demon.

"Tell me, where does the power come from?"

"You put your ears .... Reach over, I... I'll just tell you one, and you must remember it!"

When the strong man heard this, he put his ears close to the demon, and his ears were only less than five inches away from the demon; the demon was chattering, and he didn't know what he was saying, and suddenly, a scream spread throughout the dungeon; I saw that the demon bit off the strong man's ear, and was chewing frantically, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The strong man rolled on the ground with his wounds covered, and screamed one after another, and after a while, five armed guards rushed in, only to see the strong man rolling in the prison with half of his face covered, and the demon was chewing on something bloody in his mouth;

The five guards probably understood why the strong man was rolling, and the three guards quickly rushed into the prison and dragged the strong man out, and the next two guards looked at the demon with their weapons in fear, for fear that the demon would break free and rush towards them.

"Hurry up and take Lin Soul Officer out, the demon is locked by the soul lock, and if you can't break free for the time being, go and ask the Moon Priest!" The guard led by the leader roared in horror as he looked at the demon.

The demon was obsessively chewing on the ears of this forest soul officer, dripping with blood flowing out of his mouth, looking very terrifying; the two guards holding weapons to defend against the demons were probably the first time they had seen such a scene, and the hands holding the weapons trembled slightly...

At this moment, in a dark corner of the dungeon, where no fire shines, a man stood faintly and watched the scene, his mouth was amazed, and then disappeared in an instant.

-----

In the city of Furong, located in the northwest of the city, there is a temple of the god of the moon, the temple of the god of the moon has more than 10 small courtyards, two large courtyards; in the courtyard of the north of the city, the incense is vigorous, the pious people pray to the statue of the god of the moon here, there are those who pray for good weather, there are those who ask for children and wealth, there are those who pray for good health.....

In the mountain behind the compound, a man was hurriedly running to the highest pavilion in the back mountain, it was one of the guards who rescued Lin Soul Officer in the dungeon;

"What's the matter?" stood a woman in the pavilion, with long hair draped around her waist, a fairy spirit, holding a book in her hand and watching, and when she saw the guard coming, she closed the book.

"No... Not good... up, month.... Shaman, the demon in the dungeon put Lin... Half of Lin Soul Official's face was eaten, and... And the demon is showing signs of breaking free from the soul lock, please... Please Moon Shaman... Go to the dungeon and suppress it!" The guard gasped three times, and finally finished speaking, lying on the ground gasping for breath.

"It's just a small thing, why do I have to be there in person," the woman said lightly, taking out a small bottle, "There is a drop of holy water in this bottle, take it to the dungeon, and drop it on the soul lock." The vial broke away from the woman's hand and slowly floated towards the guard, and along with the vial came a green light, which strung into the guard's body, only to see that the guard's fatigue disappeared, and he was no longer out of breath.

"My subordinates thank the Moon Priest for giving me the Holy Light. The guard knelt down to the woman with a vial in his hand, and the guard, who had been panting before, was still reborn at this time, and even his face was a little ruddy.

"Go quickly, it's too late to go, and there is a fear of trouble in the dungeon. The woman opened the book in her hand again, lowered her head and continued to read.

The beautiful fairy E's moon hall. (Note 1)

The Moon Priest of the Shadow Moon Temple, known to believers as the Divine Servant, has been familiar with the "Heavenly Machine" and "Seeing the Gods" since he was a child, and joined the Shadow Moon Temple at the age of five, and became the sole heir of the next generation of priests.

Some people say that the Moon Shaman was sent by the gods to help the human world, slay demons and eliminate demons, and lead the human world on the road to prosperity and health, while others believe that the Moon Shaman is a fame-seeking, an impostor of the gods, and a disciple of evil demons.

As for the Shadow Moon Temple, the Moon Priest is a plaque for them to walk in the human world and uphold justice, and all those who disobey will be labeled as evil demons, some will be executed, and those who will be imprisoned in the dungeon.

In a dense forest in the south of Furong City, Li Chongli didn't know when he had arrived, in addition to Li Chongli in the dense forest, there was also an entourage following Li Chongli; Li Chongli seemed to be thinking about something, and his index fingers collided back and forth.

The breeze was blowing, and Li Chongli clapped his hands as if he suddenly realized, "Strength, they want to get the power of the demon clan!" Jingyu, take advantage of the current situation, go to the dungeon and kill the demon!" The man named Jingyu saluted and retreated.

The power of the demon race, since a thousand years ago, some people intended to obtain the secret of the power in the demon race's body, and used it for the breakthrough of the human world's cultivation; since the human world began to know how to cultivate spells and strengthen the body and forge the heart, the human world has become stronger and stronger, but I don't know if it is the will of heaven or the way it should be, no matter how the human race cultivates, it cannot break through the bottleneck of the return to the true realm, as if the return to the true realm is the peak of the human race.

But as time goes by, some people in the power of the human race discover that the power in the demon race can make the Returning Truth Realm have the power to break through the bottleneck, and then the Terran various sects and factions have joined forces to punish the evil and defend the way, and the road of cutting down demons and eliminating demons is more radical;

But the good times didn't last long, the conspiracy was exposed to the world thousands of years ago, the so-called use of the power in the demon clan to "break through to the truth" is actually a joke, the realm of returning to the truth is like a shackle, firmly blocking the core of this group of people, followed by the explosion of the body and death, with the explosion of the demonic energy, spread a city, overnight, nearly 10,000 people died in the city;

"It's interesting now, hey, you shouldn't have sent Jingyu there. Li Chongli whispered to himself, and suddenly laughed...

As one of the largest cities in the south of the human world, Furong City not only lives thousands of people, but also dignitaries from all walks of life, and the children of famous families live here, and the soul officials of the Shadow Moon Hall are all over the gates of Furong City and the residences of the children of famous families in major official mansions.

Night Market Street, the famous snacks of Furong City are here, as well as a variety of juggling performances; a fat man strolls in the night market street, carrying a string of sugar gourds in his left hand and a big roast chicken in his right hand, eating happily....

"It's so fun, woohoo, it's so fun, it's almost suffocating at home!" Not far from the big fat man, a girl with a double ponytail and a bright smile on her face, holding a rattle in her hand, was cheering, attracting the sideways eyes of the surrounding civilians.

"Oops!" the girl jumped and shook the rattle in her hand, and she didn't see the fat man who was intoxicated with eating sugar gourds and big roast chicken, and was suddenly knocked over.

"Who! Isn't it blind..... "The big fat man's body was hit, and the roast chicken in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steady, and he turned to look at the little girl who fell to the ground with an angry face, "Walk without eyes, right, you compensate me for half a roast chicken!"

The little girl covered her head and shook her head to look at the big fat man, looking confused; it was me who clearly fell to the ground, and I was the one who was injured! The big fat man didn't help me up, and even if he didn't help me up, he scolded me for being blind! I also had to pay for the roast chicken, and my rattle was broken! When the little girl thought of this, tears fell like rain and she began to cry!

As soon as the little girl cried, the people around her came to watch the excitement.....

"What's going on? Who's this girl, Lao Xu, look at it, there's a big fat man bullying a little girl there!"

"The big fat man knocked people down, and he didn't apologize to people, whose child is this, crying so pitiful!"

The people around were talking, and the spearhead was pointed at the real victim, the big fat man, who suddenly panicked and opened his mouth to explain.

"It's... No, I'm the one who was hit, I'm the victim, and she fell to her... It was she who hit me and she didn't stand firm, how can I blame me, I ate half of the roast chicken and fell to the ground, can't she compensate me for the roast chicken?" The big fat man's explanation was particularly weak under the discussion of everyone, and the people around him still pointed the finger at him, some said that he was quibbling, and some said that he deliberately hit the little girl and threw away half of the roast chicken and wanted to pay for the whole chicken....

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, folks, listen to me, listen to me. A voice came from behind the crowd of onlookers....
