Volume Two, The Wind From Anxi House, Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Three
"Do you want to blend in with the crowd, and while they deal with the monsters, we can go up and hit them?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Yes, that's what it means."
The big black dog smiled and said, "Besides, we have an advantage. You have a storage ring and the magical power of [Close to the End of the World]. Once we succeed, we will retreat quickly."
"Be prepared. If you want to do it, do it big time." Lu Jiuzhang said after thinking for a moment.
You only get one chance, you must seize it.
…
among the crowd.
Director Xu stood, and the directors of the Demon Slaying Department of the three prefectures gathered here.
When old acquaintances meet, they inevitably start chatting.
While they were chatting, Lu Jiuzhang had already sneaked into the camp of the Demon Slayer Division of Anxi Prefecture.
About half an hour later, someone gave the order, "Everyone, in an encirclement manner, march towards the core area, and today we will wipe out the mountain monsters in Northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop."
"After the victory, the Beilu County Demon Slayer Division will discuss merits and reward you!"
After giving the order, everyone moved towards the core area in a mighty manner.
The demon-slaying divisions of the three major cities gathered together, with nearly two thousand warriors and handymen.
Among them, there are no less than 500 ninth-grade warriors alone.
There are nearly a hundred eighth-grade warriors, and dozens of seventh-grade warriors.
The elites of the three demon-slaying departments gathered here. Under the mighty force, all the monsters they passed along the way were frightened.
There are simply too many strong people.
There are at most hundreds of monsters among them.
Being surrounded by so many people, it is not easy to escape first.
Everyone already has the belief that they will win!
Move forward, quickly deal with the monsters you encounter along the way, clear roads across mountains and build bridges over water, and keep advancing.
The mountain in northern Xinjiang, the highest peak.
A man in purple robe stood here, his face was black, and his whole body was full of evil spirit.
"Your Majesty, the Human Demon Slayer Division has entered the core area."
There is a report from Xiaoyaohui.
"very good!"
The dark-faced man known as the Crown Prince slowly said, "Among the Beilu County, the three demon-slaying divisions of the three prefectures are close to the mountains of Northern Xinjiang and are the strongest. Those who can deal with the three demon-slaying divisions of the three prefectures and the demon-slaying divisions of the Beilu County
If the company loses most of its strength, then the entire Beilu County Demon Slaying Department system will definitely collapse."
"After the collapse of Beilu County, the neighboring counties and cities will also be dragged into the whirlpool. The four counties behind the mountains in Northern Xinjiang will all fall into the quagmire."
"It seems that the four counties to the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be saved."
"My father will definitely praise me when I go back."
The black-faced man smiled and said, "Today, I have made great achievements, and after returning to the Demon Realm, I will also have your contributions. When my father will reward you for your merits, I believe that your cultivation will make further progress."
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
The demons expressed gratitude.
"Start taking action now, success or failure depends on this moment."
The prince ordered.
At the command, the monsters gathered here in the mountain rushed down the mountain one after another.
However, they did not confront the people of the Demon Slayer Division head-on, but instead circled behind the Demon Slayer Division.
The prince of the demon clan planned to block these people's escape route, trap them in the core area of the mountains in northern Xinjiang, and then deal with them one by one.
…
core zone.
Director Xu was a little confused and looked at the two colleagues beside him.
These two are both directors or deputy directors of the Demon Slaying Department in other cities, and their status is the same as Director Xu.
"Everyone, this is a little strange!"
Director Xu said, "When we were in the periphery, there were so many monsters. Why are there so few monsters in the core area?"
"Hahaha, Director Xu is overly worried. Maybe he knows that our three demon slaying divisions are surrounding us, and those monsters are scared out of their wits and have fled for their lives!"
The deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department near Fucheng said with a smile, "To gather the strength of the three demon slaying departments has been unheard of for at least several decades!"
"Yes! With such a huge effort to suppress monsters, even if they were not scared to death, those monsters would probably be scared to death. Why don't they run away and wait to die?" Another deputy director agreed, "From today on, the mountains in northern Xinjiang will be destroyed.
Take it back as the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The mountains in northern Xinjiang have rich spiritual energy and fresh air. Wouldn't it be beautiful to build a few villas in these mountains? In a few decades, maybe we brothers can have a good time over wine again!"
Everyone has begun to dream about life decades from now.
Director Xu still felt something was wrong, but he just didn't know why.
At the back of the crowd, the big black dog remained silent.
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"There is a big problem, Mr. Jiu. The closer I get to the core area, the more uneasy I feel, but I can't detect anything." The big black dog said, "Either there is a problem here, which blocks the secrets of heaven, or there is something powerful.
The existence of this person has blocked the breath, and used the formation to blind the consciousness."
Hearing this, Lu Jiuzhang hurriedly explored his spiritual consciousness.
Originally, Lu Jiuzhang's spiritual consciousness had been cultivated to the point where he could detect distances of several feet or even dozens of feet around him, but now he could only detect about one foot at most.
"It's not a good thing!"
Lu Jiuzhang thought deeply, "I have also been subject to many restrictions. It seems that we should not have come in just now."
"How about... we withdraw?" the big black dog asked.
The danger is so great, does it matter whether we pick up the leaks or not?
Life comes first!
Lu Jiuzhang's expression changed and he retreated to the back of the crowd.
Fortunately, most people's consciousness was blocked, and the actions of Lu Jiuzhang and Big Black Dog did not attract attention.
After being tens of feet away from everyone, one person and one dog got into the jungle and left in the opposite direction.
…
On the top of the peak, the black-faced man quickly noticed a man and a dog who were straying from the group.
"Interesting, someone actually noticed our demon tribe's Heaven-Destroying Isolation Formation, and actually wanted to sneak away." The black-faced man said lightly, "But we have already come this far, and it is too late to leave."
"Ahem...His Royal Highness."
A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared next to the black-faced man.
I saw a figure walking out of the black mist.
The figure gradually revealed his figure. He was a haggard old man, but the demonic aura on his body was much stronger than that on the black-faced man.
"That black dog is an extraordinary creature. We can take necessary measures to capture him alive."
The withered old man said.
"Extraordinary object?"
Only then did the black-faced man look at the big black dog.
It clearly looks like a dog, but its body is covered with black scales.
"What's the explanation?" the black-faced man asked puzzledly.
"It has a special aura about it. I can't say too much. But I can be sure that as long as His Highness the Crown Prince can capture it alive and offer it to the Demon King. By then, the benefits gained by His Highness the Crown Prince will be far greater than wiping out the entire Beilu County.
There are many.”
The withered old man said mysteriously, "If necessary, we can take necessary measures, and we can even give up the lives of everyone in the Demon Slayer Department here."
is that so?
The black-faced man pondered.
The Demon King naturally has more than one heir.
Among the children of the Demon King, he is definitely not the most favored, otherwise he would not be assigned such a hard job.
If, as the withered old man said, he catches the big black dog and his father favors him, then he will have greater authority in the demon realm and more resources for cultivation.
"It's just a monster from the eighth level of the demon path. I'll send two seventh-level monsters from the demon path to capture them later. Most of them will hit the Demon Slayer Division hard first." The black-faced man pondered for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, please don't..."
The withered old man wanted to give some advice, but was interrupted by the black-faced man, "I am in charge here, and my orders are my father's orders. If I remember correctly, you first followed my second brother, also the second prince.
Around here, right?"
He was not his confidant, so the black-faced man was a little suspicious of what he said.
What if you are cheating yourself?
When the time comes to return to the Demon Realm, I will be the one who gets scolded.
"I will listen to what you say, but I have my own rules of conduct." The black-faced man said.
After hearing this, the haggard old man stopped talking.
There is no point in saying so much. We can only find a way to deal with the people in the Demon Slayer Division in front of us first, and then plan on the big black dog.
From its body, the withered old man felt the breath of the divine beast.
Although mythical beasts are monsters, they are very different from ordinary monsters.
His Royal Highness is of the bloodline of the demon clan. Even if he has cultivated to the most powerful state, he is only at the second level of the demon path.
But divine beasts are different. There are no bottlenecks. As long as the opportunity and cultivation resources can keep up, they will definitely reach the first level of the Demon Dao in the future, comparable to the Demon King of the Demon Clan, and even become a peerless monster exceeding the first level of the Demon Dao.
At that time, all monsters and tribes will respect each other!
Even the Demon King has to lower his expensive head.
Its bloodline is also extraordinary. If it can be caught while it is weak and taken back for study, it will be of great use to the demon clan, especially the demon king of the clan.
It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't listen to him.
And this matter cannot be said openly, lest the walls have ears and others gain the upper hand.
…
"Finally escaped."
The big black dog said with emotion, "Master Jiu, I dare to say that this is the most correct decision we have made during this time!"
"Since it's wrong, leave now."
Lu Jiuzhang said, "Even if I leave the core area, I don't feel safe."
"Hey, Master Jiu, just let it go..." The big black dog originally wanted to say don't worry, but its eyes were attracted from a distance and it was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Lu Jiuzhang followed his gaze and looked into the distance.
I saw that on the distant mountain peaks, all the towering ancient trees were crushed.
Huge figures were coming towards here one after another.
There were actually dozens of big monsters, all of whom were at the seventh level of the demon path. There were even vaguely monsters who were at the sixth level of the demon path.
"Damn it!" The big black dog couldn't help but cursed, "Master Jiu, it's too late, we seem to be surrounded."
"Go back quickly!"
Lu Jiuzhang's face also darkened.
I thought I could take this opportunity to leave, but who knew I would encounter something like this.
What a fart!
It would be safer to meet up with the people from the Demon Slayer Division as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Lu Jiuzhang and Big Black Dog to survive in the hands of these monsters.
Lu Jiuzhang has a lot of treasures on his body, but using them now is obviously not cost-effective.
It's better to use the Demon Slayer Division to escape these troubles.
I finally ran out, and now I'm running back.
Lu Jiuzhang and Big Black Dog both felt a little depressed.
Fortunately, the powerful monsters behind him did not rush to catch up, but continued to shrink the encirclement.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Jiuzhang and Big Black Dog spent several hours and finally reunited with the large army.
At the same time, the people from the Demon Slayer Division had arrived at the foot of the highest peak of the Northern Xinjiang Mountains.
