One died and one escaped.
After losing the two cult giants, all the cult monsters in the city were quickly wiped out.
Within an hour, Ancheng was completely occupied.
At night, Anseong is brightly lit.
Blackwater Army soldiers shuttled through An City one by one.
Generally speaking, they have been completely wiped out, but just in case, Bai Yutang still sent a team to conduct a second inspection of the city.
Eliminate the remaining enemies!
We also found some people who were imprisoned by the cult in the Anseong dungeon.
Some of the food was distributed, and some of the residences were given to the people to live in, which also gave Ancheng a touch of earthly atmosphere again.
——
City Lord's Mansion, in the hall.
Jiang Che, Bai Yutang and Jiang Hao appeared.
"The overall situation has been decided. This time, thank you Brother Jiang for your help."
Looking at Jiang Che, Bai Yutang bowed his hands.
"It's a pity that it's still not perfect!" Jiang Che let out a long sigh.
"..."
Jiang Hao looked at him and said: "Third brother, it has been completed. Although an old blood demon escaped, it has also severely damaged the power of the cult. In Youzhou, it can be stable for at least a few years."
Bai Yutang also nodded and said: "Yes, brother Jiang, this battle can be considered a great success. It doesn't have to be so. With brother Jiang's talent and strength, given time, he will definitely become a giant in the future. By then, maybe It can also uproot the three major evil cults."
"...They all won the prize."
"You are also tired today, go and rest first." Looking at Jiang Che, Jiang Hao said.
"OK."
Jiang Che nodded and then left the hall.
It was basically over, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
Bai Yutang will solve everything.
Report the situation and ask the capital to send personnel to take over Anjo again.
Not long after, Jiang Che came to a courtyard in the mansion, opened the door, and Jiang Che immediately entered the house.
Beside the bed, Jiang Che sat on the bed.
Although he didn't kill the old blood demon, he still got a ninth-grade Zhouzi reward.
He was somewhat full of expectations.
I counted the rewards from the Demon Book.
The Hongzi rewards are even smaller this time, only six, while the Huangzi rewards are many, more than two hundred.
After counting the rewards, Jiang Che once again counted the souls in Li Hun Fan.
Bai Qiufeng's soul was also imprisoned in Li Hunfan.
The number of souls in Lihunfan reached 20,000.
Relying on his connection with Li Hunfan, Jiang Che even felt that if Li Hunfan absorbed more souls again, he might not be able to withstand it.
There are more than 20,000 souls, including two Martial Saint-level souls. The power of the Li Hun Sail has also been greatly enhanced.
It truly reached a scene where all ghosts appeared together.
Li Hunfan was revealed, and the temperature of the entire room dropped rapidly.
There was even frost in the corner.
"Extract the reward first, then refine it."
With the thought firmly in mind, Jiang Che immediately put away the Li Hun Sail.
There was a flash of light in the palm, and a Heavenly Thunder Talisman instantly appeared in his hand.
After taking a look, Jiang Che put it into the storage bag and continued to withdraw it.
“Buzz——!”
With a flash of light, a purple pill appeared in his hand.
Dark fonts also appeared in his eyes.
"Poison Spirit Pill..."
After looking at the information, Jiang Che put away the elixir and continued to extract it.
…
"Mostly pretty good."
When it was almost dawn, Jiang Che opened all the rewards except the only ninth-level reward of Zhou Zi.
This time, most of them are elixirs that increase Qi cultivation.
Qi Gathering Pill, Jingyuan Pill, Baihua Pill...
In addition, there are some magic weapons and talismans.
Of course, there is something special about it.
Looking up through the window and looking at the gradually whitening sky, Jiang Che took a deep breath to calm down the fluctuating mood in his heart.
One last reward.
The reward for the ninth grade of Zhou Zi, this is the grand prize.
The last time the Yuanling Dao tire was launched.
This time, he didn't know if a reward of the same level would be given.
However, the higher the level, the more powerful the rewards will be.
But it's not absolute.
It also depends on luck.
Of course, there is still hope.
"Buzz."
With a thought, Jiang Che instantly withdrew the reward.
In the next breath, light flashed, and an object appeared in front of him.
It is a slender long blade.
The blade is slender and looks like a Tang sword. The black handle is tattooed with a special pattern, and a powerful Taoist charm permeates the blade.
The whole long sword is filled with an evil spirit and has a strange feeling.
"Taoist tools..."
"It's still a middle-grade Taoist weapon!"
The weapon that senses the Tao Yun of the long sword in front of him is more powerful than the Tao Yun Qi of the Mountain and River Picture, more than ten times more powerful.
The entire blade had a faint glow. Judging from the appearance, Jiang Che liked it very much.
And at this moment, the dark font appears in the eyes: the demon creature blade, a Taoist magic sword that contains the way of killing. The more you kill, the more powerful the magic sword becomes. It contains the will to kill and has a natural restraint effect on monsters...
"Buzz!!"
The fonts in front of him gradually disappeared. Jiang Che raised his hand and instantly grasped the Heavenly Demon Creature Blade in his hand.
The moment he held it, the blade trembled.
Middle grade Taoist artifact!
Holding it in his hand, Jiang Che felt a little uncontrollable.
It seemed as if this Heavenly Demon Creature Blade would break out of his control at any moment.
After a while, Jiang Che came back to his senses.
Looking at the demon creature blade in front of him, Jiang Che touched it, and the blade trembled again.
The air was distorted, as if it had been cut by the overflowing knife energy.
"This power should be indispensable."
Jiang Che murmured to himself, and in the next breath, he started the sacrifice.
Middle-grade Taoist tools are more difficult to refine.
The mountain and river map has not yet been completely refined.
However, as long as he completed the initial sacrifice and left a mark, he would have enough time to perform sacrifices in the future.
Although his current strength cannot bring out the full power of the middle-grade Taoist weapon, it is still a major killer weapon for him.
After a full hour, when the sky was completely bright, Jiang Che completed his first sacrifice.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the Heavenly Demon Creature Blade in front of him sank into his body.
The hole card is increased again.
Exhaling a breath, Jiang Che immediately opened the door and walked out of the room.
…
In one night, Ancheng glowed with glory. Although it was not completely stabilized, it was also alive.
The eyes of the sky are opened, and it can be seen that the red dust fire in the void has strengthened again.
Recovery is just a matter of time.
After stepping out of the courtyard, Jiang Che came to the hall and happened to meet Jiang Hao.
"Third brother, you have done a great job this time!"
Patting Jiang Che's shoulder, Jiang Hao laughed and said.
"I'm just playing support. This time I hope to help my eldest brother ascend to the position of deputy commander of the Blackwater Army."
Jiang Che said with a smile.
"Of course, the commander-in-chief has given the news, but there is still a process to go through." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Che's eyes lit up, he looked at him and said, "Then I'll congratulate brother in advance here."
"What are you going to do next?"
Looking at Jiang Che, Jiang Hao asked.
"Brother, what are your plans?"
Jiang Che asked back.
"Well, I should leave back to Yujing City tomorrow. Can we come together?" Jiang Hao replied.
"Going back to Yujing tomorrow?"
Jiang Che was slightly startled.
"Yes, there are still some situations that need to be dealt with." Jiang Hao nodded.
"That's it..."
Jiang Che rubbed his chin, pondered for a while and said, "I won't go back for the time being. I will rest in Ancheng for a few days, and then go to see other places in Youzhou."
"Okay, but you have to be careful yourself. Although most of the evil cults in Youzhou have been eradicated, there are still some. You should pay more attention when you go out." Jiang Hao said seriously.
"Don't worry, brother, I can do it." Jiang Che nodded.
"By the way, this is the collected demon blood." As if he thought of something, Jiang Hao took out a jar of demon blood from his storage bag and handed it to Jiang Che.
"There are not many demons in Ancheng. We only collected two cans, one for each person." Jiang Hao added.
"OK."
Jiang Che nodded and took the jar of demon blood without any politeness.
Although it can't help him break through the Martial Saint, it can make him more refined and make his golden body stronger.
Immediately, Jiang Hao said a few words to him briefly and left.
Jiang Che also walked around the city lord's mansion before returning to his own courtyard.
Absorb demon blood and refine the soul in Lihun Sail.
The day passed like this.
…
Youzhou, Yuandu.
In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Xiong looked at the information in his hands, his eyes filled with shock.
Ancheng has been captured, which does not surprise him, but what surprises him is Jiang Che who is following Jiang Hao.
It can be said that the core of quelling the turmoil of the cult in Youzhou lies in him.
Kill the Martial Saint in reverse!
The Heavenly Blood Martial Saint from Hecheng and Bai Qiufeng from Ancheng both died in his hands.
The old blood demon was also seriously injured. If it weren't for the blood god's escape method, he would probably have died in the hands of Jiang Che.
"Everyone in this family is a pervert. I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to pay attention..."
Closing the book in his hand and looking out the window, Chu Xiong murmured to himself.
Talked to the Governor yesterday and he got more information.
This Jiang Che is the third son of Marquis Hongwu. He is currently practicing in the Immortal Sect of the Dao Sect and is a disciple of the Dao Sect.
The two older brothers above him have now become martial saint-level beings.
The breakthrough to Martial Saint took less than half a month.
There are three sons of Marquis Hongwu, two martial saints. Although the last one is not a martial saint, he looks more ferocious.
Three heroes in one discipline!
This kind of situation is rare in the imperial court.
…
Yujing, the residence of the Marquis of Hongwu.
Jiang Zhen sat in front of the desk in the study. In front of him, Jiang Hong looked at him excitedly and said, "Master, the situation in Youzhou has been calmed down. This is the general situation."
With that said, Jiang Hong took out a booklet and handed it to Jiang Zhen.
Taking the book fold, Jiang Zhen looked at the information on the book fold, but there was no change in the expression on his face.
"well done."
After a while, Jiang Zhen closed the book and gave an evaluation.
"Forehead……"
Just...isn't it good? !
Why doesn't the master seem to be too surprised?
Looking at Jiang Zhen, Jiang Hong felt a little strange.
"Sir, the third young master has contributed the most this time. The imperial court should confer him a commendation, right?"
Jiang Hong opened his mouth and said.
"If the master says so, it must be inevitable."
Jiang Hong added another sentence.
"You... don't understand the emperor's heart."
Jiang Zhen glanced at him, shook his head and sighed.
"!!!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hong shrank in his heart, looked at Jiang Zhen, and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Is His Majesty still not happy that the turmoil in Youzhou has been put down?"
"Of course I'm happy." Jiang Zhen said calmly.
"Then why are you like this, sir?"
Jiang Hong said in confusion.
"What's beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I'm worried about other things."
Jiang Zhen said calmly.
"Do other things have anything to do with His Majesty?" Jiang Hong blinked.
"So be it."
Jiang Zhen nodded.
"But it's not a big problem. As long as you break through the Human Immortal, all the storms can be easily calmed down."
Jiang Zhen said calmly.
"!!!"
"Master, are you trying to..."
Jiang Hong did not continue speaking, but the meaning could not be clearer.
Jiang Zhen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Just be safe."
Jiang Hong nodded silently, but his heart was still turbulent.
"Prepare the sedan, I'm going to the imperial city." Jiang Zhen stood up slowly and said.
"Yes, Master, I will go and prepare now."
Jiang Hong nodded, then turned and left the study.
Watching Jiang Hong leave, a gleam of light flashed in Jiang Zhen's eyes, and he looked out the window. A faint light flashed in his hand, and a jade pendant appeared at some point.
"This guy is becoming more and more promising. I hope he can settle down..."
After muttering to himself, Jiang Zhen put away the jade pendant and stepped out of the study.
——
Anseong.
The Blackwater Army withdrew, Yuandu also sent personnel to take over, and the city began to gradually recover.
Jiang Che's figure stepped out of the city lord's mansion. He had stayed in Ancheng for three days. Today, he was ready to leave.
The demon blood was absorbed again, making his body stronger.
However, he is still a little short of breaking through to the Martial Saint.
Jiang Hao and the others left on the same day, but Jiang Che stayed for one more day before leaving.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Che also quickly left Ancheng.
From Bai Yutang, Jiang Che easily obtained some information about Youzhou as a whole.
Apart from the Five Cities, there are also traces of some cult demons in several other places.
However, unlike Wucheng, it is not blatant.
Instead, it lurks in the darkness.
Jiang Che's first destination is Baiyun County.
This is a county town in Youzhou.
It's almost a thousand miles away from Ancheng.
If there are traces of cult monsters, Jiang Che will naturally not miss them.
Killing demons is the fastest way for him to become stronger.
When troubled times come, only your own strength can guarantee everything.
It is better to cheat and become stronger than to practice honestly.
Naturally, he had to make good use of the ability of the Demon Book.
…
At dusk, in the suburbs of Baiyun County, Jiang Che's figure appeared on the Qianlong River on the outskirts of the county.
This is a vast river that runs through the entire territory of Youzhou and even crosses several state capitals.
It is also one of the largest rivers in Daqian!
Looking down from the sky, the entire Qianlong River is like a winding dragon crawling on the earth, majestic.
Jiang Che stood by the river, looking towards a mountainside in the distance.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a temple called Hanshan Temple.
According to intelligence information, Hanshan Temple may be a stronghold of the evil cult.
Of course, it's just a possibility, not a certainty.
In the eyes of the sky, Jiang Che only saw the intersection of the red dust fire and the Buddha's light, but did not see the presence of evil spirits.
Of course, maybe it's hidden.
It is not unusual for the demon's own aura to be able to change and hide. There is nothing strange from a distance. Only by stepping into it personally can he find out.
"Go to the county seat first."
Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Che's figure flashed and quickly disappeared by the river, heading towards Baiyun County.
