Chapter 83: The poor are alone
"Demon Suppressing City... State Shepherd's Mansion..."
"Although Zhoumu Mansion is not on the return route, it is not far from Zhenmo City. I will go back to Zhenmo City first and leave a mana incarnation, and then I can fly to Zhoumu Mansion in person to investigate the situation.
…”
"If the Three Tribulations Soul Flag is indeed in the State Shepherd's Mansion, destroy it directly! If it is not there, maybe we can also find relevant clues."
After making the decision regarding the Prefecture Mufu's Office, Zhou Xuan put it down and thought about another imminent matter.
"When settling the cause and effect of the oak demon, it seemed to be mentioned that it was killing the patrol angels on the orders of the ghost-faced green-maned fox demon..."
"I remember when we left the Tianxian Division, the fox demon wrapped a piece of fox hair around all of us. It must have the function of 'marking positioning'."
"And because I wiped off the fox fur on Li Qingsong and I, the oak demon was not discovered. So when we arrived, the tree demon was in a hurry."
Just like this, by chance, Zhou Xuan and Li Qingsong became a surprise force that attacked the tree demon. The latter's hasty reaction seemed to confirm this inference.
Otherwise, how could it safely kill so many patrol angels without being discovered?
Once may be a fluke, but eight in a row may not be a fluke, but stable.
"If this is a plan, then changes must have occurred not only here and in Baihe County."
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan calmed down and radiated his spiritual consciousness at a stable frequency. During this period, he used the earth's energy to connect with the earth's veins.
Soon, the vast land of Nanyunzhou slowly unfolded in his mind like a picture scroll.
There are 123 counties in Nanyun Continent, with thousands of mountains and valleys, hundreds of rivers, and countless information crazily drilling into Zhou Xuan's sea of consciousness. The huge amount of information made Zhou Xuan feel suffocated for a moment, and he quickly stopped.
Divine consciousness begins to eliminate the complicated and redundant information...
Soon, the lights and shadows dimmed in the consciousness...
"Hmm... The southwest direction is indeed full of demons. The geomantic omen around the Zhou Mu Mansion is not normal. It seems that a 'game' has been prepared and is waiting for someone to take advantage of it!"
"Good game! Haha, what a good game!"
"Find the location of the patrol angels first!"
"Look at the more than 500 patrol angels...how many are left now?"
After a while.
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath.
"There were five hundred and eight patrol angels, and now there are only less than a hundred left?"
"The fox demon is so bold, using the sky survey as a tactic to trap and kill the patrolling angels of Nanyunzhou?"
"What does it want to do?"
The patrolling angels are the "eyes" of the Celestial Master's Mansion in the Demon Suppressing City to see through the demons. If they are all destroyed at once, then when the demon group breaks out, the Demon Slaying Division without the patrolling angels will only rely on those Celestial Masters to patrol the sky.
Slaying demons and slaying demons for a long time will definitely lead to poor condition due to exhaustion!
This seems to be a hunt for the patrolling angels, but in fact it is more like a weakening of the Demon Suppressing City, leaving the Nanyunzhou Tianshi Mansion blind!
Zhou Xuan's heart became heavier and heavier. He felt that the clear sky suddenly became frighteningly gloomy. A terrorist plan targeting Nanyunzhou seemed to have been torn apart by him into a dark corner.
Obviously what he was thinking about was that the sky was falling and the Great Xia Dynasty was holding on to it, but there were no intact eggs under the overturned nest, and Zhou Xuan also felt heavy pressure.
Report through the Tianshi Mansion?
How to say?
Master Zhou Mu is a fox demon, and he is plotting a huge conspiracy against Nanyunzhou?
Not to mention that it is impossible for his little patrolling angel to contact the upper echelons of Nanyunzhou Tianshi Mansion. Even if he did, who would believe you?
The most likely possibility is to make yourself the target of Tianshi Mansion's investigation.
"Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world……"
Facing the unknown terror and living in a treacherous environment, Zhou Xuan understood for the first time Mencius' ambition and psychology when he said these words.
“After all, you have to rely on yourself!”
…
On the way back, Zhou Xuan and Li Qingsong discovered several more city lord mansions along the way, all of which had patrolmen who died unexpectedly.
For those who were far away, Zhou Xuan used his magic power to create a blindfold and went to slay the demons in person. For those who were closer, he went down step by step with Li Qingsong to slay the demons.
After a few times, the two of them harvested several more demon inner elixirs. At the same time, Zhou Xuan also obtained hundreds of years of Taoism and more than ten yuan of five elements essence through the calculation of cause and effect.
Zhou Xuan didn't want to make Li Qingsong doubtful, so he symbolically divided the proceeds from the demon slaying with Li Qingsong.
Slaying demons was originally the job of the Demon Slayer Department, and dismembering corpses was originally the job of the Demon Slayer Department. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Zhou Xuan and Li Qingsong had no choice but to reluctantly take over.
"Eh..." Zhou Xuan noticed that a strong demonic energy suddenly appeared in a city lord's palace in front of him, and the next moment it leaked out like a ball with a hole in it. It was obvious that he had just been killed.
Such fluctuations were so strong that even Li Qingsong felt it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "In the 'Ningnang City' ahead, there seems to be an immortal master slaying demons?"
"Brother Zhou, should we go down and take a look?"
At the beginning, Li Qingsong would definitely have said, "Brother Zhou, let's go and have a look." But the change in his tone now undoubtedly means that Li Qingsong subconsciously recognized Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan looked at Li Qingsong. Although the latter didn't say anything, there was a look of exhaustion between his brows.
He immediately understood that he had been on the road for the past few days. He set off every time after killing the monsters and did not get much rest at all. He did not find it difficult to control everything, but Li Qingsong was tense all the time and prepared all the time.
Facing the monster.
The pressure is so great that it consumes a lot of energy and spirit. Although the monks will not die suddenly, it is definitely not a good thing for themselves if their energy and spirit are at a low level for a long time.
Therefore, as time goes by, Li Qingsong's condition cannot always remain at its peak, and it is normal to see some decline now.
Now that Li Qingsong said this, go down and see if it is false. Only if you replenish your energy and energy can it be true.
Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, Brother Li. I have been focusing on inspection these days, but I have ignored your feelings. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhou, don't say that... You have been doing your best to slay demons these past few days. I'll try my best not to hold you back..."
week
"Didn't you look down on me when you asked me to form a team? We are all teammates who have been here all the way. Since you call me 'Brother Zhou', don't say such arrogant words in the future."
When Li Qingsong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
The same gap in strength was revealed. Li Xiaoxiao and Wu Xiuzhu's first thought was to squeeze him out, but Zhou Xuan wanted to give him a hand.
