As early as the Nine Heavens Alliance, Xingchen had been exposed to black qi, that is, heart demon qi. If this thing is planted in the body, it will be difficult to be detected, and the person will still continue with his original life, but once the inner demonic qi is activated, it will be controlled by people and become a puppet.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xuanyuan Feng returned, followed by four people, "Second brother, this is all the Illusion Dao cultivators in our team. ”

Xingchen nodded slightly and looked at the four of them, "First of all, I need to make sure that you can be trusted. After speaking, the phantom sound came out, enveloping the four of them.

The four of them felt the illusion of the stars and did not dare to hinder it.

After a while, Xingchen took out a jade bottle, "This is a gas gathering bottle, which can absorb any type of passive aura according to the user's mind, I will demonstrate it to you once." With that, he walked over to one of the men who distributed it, and set a ban on cultivation before he resisted. The gas concentrator was attached to the opponent's eyebrows, and after it was operated, there seemed to be black gas flowing on the man's body.

When Xingchen took down the gas gathering bottle, the man's eyes were a little confused, "What did you do?"

Xingchen held the gas gathering bottle, "You have a hidden demonic qi in your body, if it is activated, you will become a puppet, in order to repay me for saving my life, please be controlled for a while." Thank you. ”

Before the man could react to what was going on, the demonic qi in the gas gathering bottle had already returned to him, and he lost consciousness again.

And the concentrating cylinder was handed to another person by Xingchen, "You come first, remember that you can only absorb one-third of the demonic qi." Then he looked at the other two, "Later, it will be your turn." ”

The three of them looked at Xingchen with some fear, after all, they saw how Xingchen had just treated the man.

In the end, under the urging of Xingchen, the three of them tried and tested five times before they basically mastered how to control the gas concentrator cylinder.

After the man came to his senses, Xingchen said again, "Your three companions have learned, and now it's your time to learn." The three people beside the man trembled, could it be that this demon wanted to put that demonic qi on them.

It wasn't until they saw six crazy men in black being escorted up that they breathed a sigh of relief.

After testing on the six men in black, the man finally mastered the method of controlling the gas concentrator cylinder.

After completing the teaching, Xingchen issued five gas concentrating cylinders to each of the four people, and then issued an order to gather all the senior leaders above the captain level, and the internal purge of the escort team began.

After a busy time, the entire team was cleared, and only two people in the high-level had hidden demonic energy, and thirty percent of the soldiers and mercenaries were among them, and most of the people with demonic energy were from the Suzaku mercenary group. As for the army, the rules are strict and difficult to penetrate, and the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, Xingchen has already secretly inspected it.

At the end of the busy night, the sun rose, and the convoy continued on its way. It's just that before they have traveled far, a team of embarrassed rangers appeared, and Xingchen learned a bad news, the fourth-level mercenary group stationed at the commanding heights of the Sky Ridge fifty miles ahead was attacked, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, if it wasn't for Yi Yun leading the team to rescue, there might be more casualties, and the battle had just stopped.

Hearing the news, Xingchen immediately ordered: "Whole team, speed up." ”

The speed of the escort increased, and the escort itself was nothing, but it was a pain for the children of the escort team. This continued for fifty miles before stopping.

The fourth-level mercenary group located on the Sky Ridge withdrew, and their leader, Yi Yun's second uncle, was lying on a stretcher with a ashamed face. The man in black who attacked them was not higher than his cultivation, and he occupied a favorable position, which caused heavy losses. If it weren't for Yi Yun, he might have died.

Seeing the tragic situation of this fourth-level mercenary group, everyone in the escort team was glad that if someone hadn't led them to take the initiative to attack the black-clothed man hiding in the valley near the camp last night, their fate would not have been much better.

After that, the journey was bumpy, and when the sun set, the long procession arrived at Fusu City. They marched for another hour in the night, and finally reached the headquarters of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment, where the three thousand children were arranged in two makeshift forts near the station, and the sergeants set up seven small camps nearby, and the Suzaku Mercenary Regiment chose to withdraw. The leader of the Suzaku regiment did not want his subordinates to be summoned by the leader of a fifth-level mercenary group.

Late at night, in the lobby of the station, Xingchen sat in the main seat, Yi Yun sat on the deputy main seat, all the high-level leaders of the mercenary group were on the left hand side of Xingchen, and the second uncle Yi Yun and the high-level leaders of the mercenary group under him were all on the right hand side of Xingchen.

Two hundred years ago, as a small family, the Yi family successfully established a mercenary group, and the second son of the Yi family, Yi Liantian, was quite loved by the head of the family, but the eldest son Yi Lianlin was left out in the cold because of the relationship between illegitimate children, and Yi Liantian became the head of this mercenary group. Originally, the Yi family could rely on this mercenary group to step into the ranks of the middle family, but an accident happened, and the head of the family, who had cultivated smoothly, suddenly went mad and died, leaving a will, and the eldest son inherited the family business.

Yi Liantian was not convinced at all, so he ran away with his mercenary group. But without the support of the Yi family, the mercenary group has been barely maintained, until now, after a battle, heavy losses.

This is a good opportunity to expand his power, and of course Xingchen will not miss it, or it is for this purpose that he asked Yi Yun to contact Yi Liantian in the first place.

After being silent for a while, Yi Yun's second uncle Yi Liantian finally nodded, "I am willing to turn the mercenary group into your subordinate mercenary group, but I have one request. ”

Xingchen smiled: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you, say it!"

Yi Liantian looked at Yi Yun, "I hope you don't interfere with the management of my mercenary group, especially Yi Yun." ”

Xingchen nodded slightly, "You can promise this." However, as the leader of the main mercenary group, I must have the right to interfere, and there are a few other requirements. First, your mercenary group will be renamed the Thundercloud Mercenary Group from now on, and it will become a subsidiary of the Holy Wind Mercenary Group. Second, no matter what reply you give me, I will help you pay the consolation money for the families of the deceased of the Thundercloud Mercenary Group in this battle, and their children will have the opportunity to enter the apprenticeship class, with a duration of twelve years and a certain salary every month. Third, the Thundercloud Mercenary Group must transfer its station here, and the original station belongs to the Holy Wind Mercenary Group. ”

Yi Liantian looked a little embarrassed, he could agree to the rest, but only the right to interfere hesitated.

At this time, Yi Yun quietly transmitted the message to Yi Lei, and after Yi Lei listened, he transmitted the voice to Yi Liantian, "Second uncle, you don't have to worry about the right of the head of the regiment to interfere, you look at my eldest brother, unless there are some necessary structural adjustments, and there are major actions, the entire Holy Wind Mercenary Group is actually under the management of my eldest brother." ”

Yi Liantian looked at Yi Lei, who had the same bloodline phantom as himself, and said, "Xiao Lei, this is not like what you said, who made you say this." ”

Yi Lei suddenly froze, "It's big brother." ”

Yi Liantian glanced at Yi Yun intentionally or unintentionally, and arched his hand at Xingchen: "Head Lu, can you allow me to think about it for a few days." ”

Xingchen nodded slightly, "Yes, when this mission is over, you will reply to me." Then he turned to look at Yi Yun, "I'll leave it to you here, I'm going back to Zhuge Academy." After saying that, just leave.

In this regard, the high-level of the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment was not surprised, but Yi Liantian and his subordinates were a little suspicious, and the head of the regiment left the station so easily?

Yi Liantian said to Yi Lei again, "Xiao Lei, what's the matter with your regiment leader? ”

Yi Lei shrugged, "It's all said, the head of the regiment is only in charge of big things, and other things have always been managed by my eldest brother." ”

Yi Liantian was a little moved when he heard this, but he still had to investigate, after all, his decision would affect the entire mercenary group.

After Xingchen left, Yi Yun began to preside over the meeting, and first looked at his second uncle, "Second uncle, please give me the list of information about the dead and injured members." Your decision can wait, but those families can't. ”

This is a good thing, Yi Liantian agreed, and asked his subordinates to go to the statistics immediately.

In the sky above Luoxia Mountain in Zhuge Academy, a figure has been waiting here. Xingchen flew in front of the other party and bowed his hand, "Senior Brother Zhuge , do you have something to do with me?"

In front of Xingchen, it was Zhuge Yu, a young man dressed in white and with an elegant temperament, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a scroll appeared, "This is the enrollment list, I hope you will help me preside over this year's enrollment." ”

Xingchen didn't get up, "Xingchen is difficult to take on a big responsibility, Senior Brother Zhuge , you should know that my attitude towards the outer disciples is exactly against your wishes." ”

Zhuge Yu sighed, "That's it, junior brother, you will understand me in the future." After speaking, the figure slowly dissipated.

Only then did Xingchen get up and return to Luoxia Mountain. Blood Dance was waiting here, and when she saw Xingchen, she asked, "Xingchen, what are you looking for this senior brother Zhuge to do?"

Xingchen sighed, "What else can I do? Otherwise, there will be a lot of looking for me in the future, how can I go to the Blood Sea Country to continue the investigation!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the blood dance, "Let's go, help me make something." ”

After coming to the hall of the cave mansion, Xingchen waved his hand, and a whole thousand jade bottles appeared, "This is what I brought from the treasury of the mercenary group's station, Blood Dance, only you can help me make a gas gathering bottle here." ”

Blood Dance was puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

Xingchen had already made a move, and a jade bottle flew into his hand, and layers of prohibitions appeared, "I recently planned to receive a subsidiary mercenary group, and I didn't plan to use the spirit stone inventory of the Holy Wind Mercenary Group, so I made some gas gathering bottles and prepared to sell them." ”

"When you were in Jinbo City, I remember that you got a lot of benefits, but you will lack spirit stones?"

Xingchen still didn't stop, although the 10 million high-grade spirit stones on the gambling stone street in Jinbo City benefited, he got 300,000, which doesn't mean that he can spend a lot of money. There is only a large amount of out, not a large amount of in, it will be targeted by people with intentions, it is better to make another profit. So he explained to Blood Dance, "Who would think that there are few spirit stones, I plan to sell ten high-grade spirit stones for one gas gathering bottle, and these thousand gas gathering bottles should be able to harvest ten thousand." Do you do it? I can divide your two percent. ”

Blood Dance's eyes lit up, "Ten top-grade spirit stones, you're not afraid of being robbed." ”

Xingchen smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just say that Senior Brother Zhuge is also involved, and when the time comes, Yicheng will benefit from it to the treasury of Zhuge Academy." Senior Brother Zhuge shouldn't blame me. ”

Blood Dance immediately picked up a jade bottle, "I'll help you, but I want forty percent of the benefits, if you don't give it to me, I'll make trouble for you." ”

Xingchen sighed and handed out a jade slip, "This is my newly designed Qi Gathering Bottle Prohibition, which is mixed with interference and self-destruction prohibitions that belong exclusively to the spiritual world, making it more difficult to crack. You learn first and then help me. ”

Blood Dance took the jade slip and snorted, "I still have to learn, and I will add one more." ”

Xingchen was completely speechless, so he had to nod.

Two hours later, a thousand gas concentrators were finally completed. Just as Blood Dance breathed a sigh of relief, another thousand jade bottles appeared, and a voice came, "Go on." ”

Blood Dance got up directly and walked to his room, "You can do it yourself! I'm going to rest." ”

Xingchen smiled and said, "Keep helping, I'll give you another benefit." He was answered by a door that closed heavily, and he could only smile and go on with his work.

It was an hour after the morning came again that the stars finished their work. He got up to clean up, shook his head at the still tightly closed room, left a note, and left the place.

In order to welcome the opening day, the Zidu Square in Fusu City has been blocked by the army, and the front and back doors of a house outside the square have been renovated as the only passage in and out of the square. In the center of the courtyard of this mansion is a formation platform called the Exorcism Array, which is the proud work of the Mage Guild of the Yanhuang National Array, which can detect the existence of black qi, that is, the demonic qi in the heart, and expel it. However, to operate the exorcism function, a large amount of spirit stones need to be consumed.

On the day of the initiation of the pulse, a stall appeared not far from this courtyard, with a banner hanging on it, which read, "Professional exorcism of inner demons, limited to 20 free people." ”

Xingchen sat on the only octagonal table with his eyes closed, and the two ranger squad guards behind him, Wu Xin of the Confidential Department was standing on the street watching the pedestrians coming and going, and shouted loudly: "Professional exorcism of heart demonic energy, limited to twenty free." After shouting three times in a row, a large circle of people came around and discussed,

"Really, fake. ”

"The feeling is deceiving. ”

......

Wu Xin was not in a hurry, "If you deceive people, ten high-grade spirit stones will be offered, and twenty free places will be offered, don't miss it when you walk by." ”

A middle-aged man with a beer belly and a bare chest walked up, "I'm the first to try it." ”

Xingchen opened his eyes, glanced at them casually, and began to close his eyes again.

Seeing this, Wu Xin waved his hand, "You don't have a demonic spirit in your body, don't waste your place." ”

The middle-aged man was unconvinced, "I want to try!"

A powerful momentum suddenly descended, and concentrated on the middle-aged man, directly pressing him to the ground. Wu Xin sneered: "What?"

The momentum dissipated, and the middle-aged man was no longer arrogant, and fled like a fly.

Wu Xin began to continue shouting, and after a while, a carriage appeared, and two people came down, holding a young man with his whole body tied, followed by an old man.

The old man came here and bowed his hand to the stars, "The old man is the owner of a grocery store in the south of the city, and the youngest son is controlled by the demonic energy, so he has no money and no qualifications to use the demon elimination array, and he also asks this adult to save his life." ”

Wu Xin stared at the old man, "Are you willing to believe us?"

The old man explained, "I didn't believe it, but I am an Illusion Dao cultivator, although my strength is low. As he spoke, he looked at Xingchen, "But I know that this adult is a master of the Illusion Dao and can detect the demonic qi in his heart, so I am willing to believe it." ”

Xingchen opened his eyes at this time, "Your little son will be fine." Then with a wave of his hand, the young man's rope was untied and automatically flew in front of the stars, and a gas gathering bottle appeared and was attached to the young man's eyebrows.

The old man felt the changes in the young man's body, and his face was extremely excited.

He closed his eyes again as the condenser returned to the stars. And Wu Xin helped the young man who landed on the ground and looked at the old man, "You also know the way of illusion, you can check it carefully." ”

The old man checked according to his words, and sure enough, he found that his youngest son had no demonic energy in his body, and when he wanted to kneel down to thank Xingchen, he couldn't kneel. He took out another bag of spirit stones and wanted to hand them to Wu Xin, but Wu Xin refused to accept them, and pointed to the banner, "You are the first, you don't need any spirit stones." ”

After a while, the old man thanked him and left the place. Some people have already believed that the news of someone here taking away the demonic qi for free has spread.

Soon someone came here, led by Han Feng, who was followed by seven young boys and girls. He was stunned when he saw Xingchen, and shouted directly: "Xingchen, I'm here to fight fakes, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Xingchen jumped down from the table, without the profound appearance just now, which made the onlookers stunned. But he didn't care, "How can I be fake, it's not idle, come out and do good deeds." By the way, who are these people?"

Han Feng looked at Xingchen suspiciously, "When did you guys do such stupid things." Forget it, I won't talk about you, these seven are the children of my Han family's branch, and I will take them out for a walk. ”

Xingchen looked at them and nodded slightly, and finally his gaze fell on a young girl.

Seeing this, Han Feng smiled, "Xingchen, you are so sweet." ”

Xingchen looked at Han Feng and frowned, "What are you talking about?" Although it is very secretive, I can be sure that she has a demonic energy in her. I'll take care of it for you, count the second free spot. ”

In this regard, Han Feng, who had no idea, could only cooperate with Xingchen to control the girl. Sure enough, when Xingchen used the gas concentrator to absorb it, the girl's eyes turned black, and before she went crazy, she was already introduced into a fantasy coma by Xingchen.

After absorbing it, the girl looked around in confusion, and finally looked at Han Feng, "Cousin Han Feng, what's wrong with me?"

Han Feng pointed at Xingchen, "You have been demonic in your body, and my brother Xingchen saved you." ”

The girl wanted to thank her, but Xingchen didn't pay attention to her at all, just chatting with Han Feng.

Between the two, Han Feng smiled again, "Xingchen, I know what you're doing! I still remember what happened last time in the Spirit Devouring Desert, aren't you?"

Xingchen took out the gas gathering bottle, "Brother Feng, you guessed it. Exorcising the demonic qi for free, just to promote this thing, I plan to sell it for one of the ten high-grade spirit stones. ”

"So treacherous, tell me, how many do you have?"

Xingchen whispered, "Two thousand." ”

Han Feng shouted, ", that is, sell them all, worth 20,000." Xingchen hurriedly shushed. Han Feng nodded hurriedly and asked in a low voice, "How about the cost of your thing?"

Xingchen looked at him with disdain, "Didn't you find out the material of this gas gathering bottle? A high-grade spirit stone thousand jade bottle, plus my night's labor. Of course, only I know how to make it, and no one else can copy it. ”

Han Feng immediately scolded in a low voice: "Okay, you big profiteer, you are so profitable, if you don't count my share, I will report you." ”

Xingchen stretched out his hand, "Help me sell it, and I'll give you a percent." ”

Han Feng held Xingchen's hand, "Deal." After speaking, he turned around and fooled the seven branch disciples, "Who is willing to help my brother work and be rewarded with three high-grade spirit stones." ”

The rescued girl was the first to raise her hand to respond to the harmony, and the other six hesitated and followed suit. Although the three high-grade spirit stones are only pocket money for the children of the family, there are still people who are willing to earn them.

So people saw a strange scene, a group of young masters and young ladies in gorgeous costumes were pulling people on the street to exorcise their demons for free.

When the twenty places were used up, Xingchen left directly with his own people.

The rescued girl walked up to Han Feng, "Cousin Han Feng, are you very familiar with that person?"

Han Feng stared at the girl in front of him: "Yes, it's very familiar, we are brothers." I know what you're thinking, Xingchen's own cousin was defeated by two or three words from his Taoist companion, and you are just my distant cousin, no chance, die early!" After a few words, the girl's eyes were already moist.

Han Feng didn't care, no matter which family it was, there was a world of difference between the branch vein and the main vein, and he didn't need to bother much because he cried a branch vein disciple.

Just sighed before leaving: "Alas, I'm more handsome than Xingchen, so I'm almost reading more." ”
