"So much nonsense!"
Lu Ning smashed the female ghost's head with one punch and shook off the ghost blood on her hands.
He knew that even if the female ghost's head exploded, she would not die, so the next moment, he used the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Formation.
Before the nine-tailed demon could react, he directly released his ultimate move and suppressed the latter first.
"Ahhhh..."
Sure enough, the nine-tailed demon was not dead at all, and a pale head quickly grew out of the broken neck.
However, at this time, Lu Ning had already risen into the air, breaking through the dark ghost fog above his head with a sword.
"The majesty of the sky is brilliant, use the sword to control it, the nine-day divine thunder is for my use, fall!"
Caron!
In the sky, there was lightning and thunder, and in just a moment, layers of ghost mist swirled up, and terrifying thunder and lightning tore between the black clouds and ghost mist.
The nine-tailed female ghost illuminated by the beam could not open her eyes, and was even more frightened when she heard the sound of lightning and thunder.
A first-level strong person may not be afraid of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, but a first-level demon ghost will definitely be afraid of it.
Just when the nine-tailed female ghost was about to dodge, nine consecutive blue thunderbolts dropped from the sky, covering the Evil Ghost Mountain in an instant.
"you you……"
The nine-tailed female ghost never thought that Lu Ning, a young man, could have such means.
He immediately sacrificed his body, raised his head and roared.
The nine giant tails smashed the Evil Ghost Mountain into collapse in an instant, and the valley shattered open.
Lu Ning stood suspended in the air, with a strong golden light emitting from his body, and his true power was billowing. The Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand exuded a strong sword energy.
As Lu Ning felt it with his heart, the long sword trembled, trying to release the sword intention.
"With the power of the sky, the power of the Nine Thunder Gods, and the power of the sword, seal the gates of the Eight Wastelands, rise!"
In an instant, thunder and lightning swept up from the ground, and at the same time eight portals appeared in all directions. Each portal exuded ancient prehistoric power, and thunder and lightning surged.
Buzz!
The formation spun up, and the eight portals rotated in conjunction with the nine divine thunders, instantly trapping the nine-tailed demon ghost.
"Oooh!"
The nine-tailed demon ghost let out an angry roar, and its body grew larger again. It wanted to break through the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation, but it just touched the formation.
There was a sword light containing thunder and lightning, which shuttled around the nine-tailed demon like a butterfly through flowers, causing the nine-tailed demon to scream in agony.
"How could you be so powerful?" The Nine-tailed Demon Ghost looked in disbelief.
Lu Ning snorted coldly. When he was in the middle stage of the second stage, he had a head-to-head matchup with Lord Tianlei. Now that he was in the late stage of the second stage, he had no problem fighting against the late stage of the first stage.
What's more, he still has the Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand, using the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation in the "Great Conferring God Technique".
This sword formation sealing method is even more handy in the later stages of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.
Even a strong person in the late first level was trapped in the face of this sword formation seal, let alone a late first level ghost.
The reason why Lu Ning chose to take action was because Chi Long Yaohun told him that the nine-tailed demon ghost only had a late-level first-level cultivation and had not yet reached perfection.
He thought he could trap the latter, so he took action.
As he expected, the late-stage first-level demons and ghosts could not escape from the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation.
In just a moment, the demon that tried to break out of the formation was scorched black by thunder and lightning, and was almost annihilated by sword rays.
"who are you?"
The nine-tailed demon transformed into a female ghost in red and roared ferociously at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning did not immediately put away the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation, but first sent a message to Lin Jian: "Don't be stunned, quickly surround the Evil Ghost Mountain."
The people from the Rakshasa Sect were hiding in the ancient temple. Just now the ancient temple cracked open and he saw many people fleeing into the distance.
The people from the Suppressing Demon Division came to investigate before, but found no one. It was probably the work of the nine-tailed demon that confused the people from the Suppressing Demon Division.
Lin Jian was still stunned. Although he had seen that scene in the void twice, he was still stunned when he saw it again.
"It's strange, why does this sword array seal use different power every time?"
Judging from the sword formation seals, Lu Ning's cultivation strength has been improving.
But in the past three months since he came down the mountain, apart from a slight improvement in his state of mind, he has not made much progress in his cultivation.
"Surround Evil Ghost Mountain!"
Lin Jian reacted and quickly gave orders to Zuo Hongchen, Gu Wushuang and others, because he also discovered the people from the Rakshasa Sect.
Above the void.
Lu Ning looked directly at the nine-tailed female ghost in the seal of the sword array and said coldly: "Five thousand three hundred years ago, the Taoist monk suppressed you here because he thought it was not easy for you to practice. You can break the seal and come out if you are dedicated to good. .”
"But it's good for you. Not only have you not had any regrets in the past five thousand years, but you have also used the Rakshasa Sect to cultivate into the late stage of a first-class demon ghost. Over the past thousands of years, tens of thousands of humans have died at your hands."
Without the sacrifice of millions of souls, how would it be possible to reach the first-level Ghost Emperor realm.
What's more, he is not a human being. He is suppressed by human monks. He hates humans extremely. He did not kill the Rakshasa Sect. He is also using the Rakshasa Sect to do things for himself.
Once the cultivation level reaches a certain level, the ancient temple seal of the Taoist monk will definitely not be able to suppress the nine-tailed demon ghost.
Fortunately he is here.
If it is discovered too late and the nine-tailed demon ghost quietly reaches the first level of perfection, or exceeds the first level, it will definitely be a disaster for the world.
Take a look at the Heavenly Punishment Catalog:
Guilty Ghost: Nine-tailed Female Ghost (Nine Stars)
Cultivation: First-grade Ghost Emperor (late stage)
Divine Punishment: 25 Power
Reward: 1.5 million experience/day and night
Lu Ning's eyes flashed with excitement and he continued to interrogate the nine-tailed female ghost.
In a moment, the power of Heaven's Punishment reached 30, and with the attack of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Sword Light, soon, the nine-tailed female ghost couldn't bear it and confessed the truth.
Since the Rakshasa Sect gained power in the ancient temple, over the past two thousand years, the Rakshasa Sect has provided her with the souls of nine million people.
On average, the nine female ghosts need to provide tens of thousands of souls a year.
On average, at least a hundred souls must be sacrificed every day.
Killing hundreds of people in one day for more than two thousand years is really mind-numbing to think about.
A quarter of an hour later.
The natural punishment is increased to 55 punishment power, and the reward is increased from 1.5 million experience/day and night to 3.3 million experience/day and night.
Lu Ning took a deep breath. The reward was the same as the Chilong Demonic Soul, except that the Chilong Demonic Soul's penalty power was 60 and the reward was 3.6 million experience points.
The penalty power of the nine-tailed female ghost is also increased to 60 penalty power, and the reward should also be 3.6 million.
even so.
The total daily experience reaches 18 million/day and night.
"receive!"
Lu Ning stopped talking nonsense with the nine-tailed female ghost and directly put away the Nine Palaces Thunder Sword Formation.
The sword formation quickly became smaller, and finally turned into a ball of thunder and lightning as big as a fist, which was caught in Lu Ning's hand.
Then put it into the jade belt.
After all this happened last night, I looked up and saw that Lin Jian and his men had suppressed the Rakshasa Sect's master, as well as more than 300 elders, law enforcement officers, and disciples.
Lu Ning appeared in front of the master of the Rakshasa Sect. The latter was a man in his fifties, with gray hair on his temples and evil eyes.
A person's cultivation is in the realm of third-grade perfection,
There are two remaining elders who have third-grade cultivation, and the others are all third-grade or below.
Lu Ning personally took action and used the Black Dragon Vein Locking Technique to completely lock the meridians and Dantian of the sect master and the two third-grade elders.
He also used the Black Dragon Pulse Locking Technique on the remaining fourth-level elders and law enforcement officers.
Lin Jian frowned: "Sir, why is your Xuanlong Pulse Locking Technique so smooth?"
Hearing this, Zuo Hongchen, Gu Wushuang and others all stared at Lu Ning, knowing that they were practicing the Black Snake Pulse Locking Technique.
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Go back to Qingzhou first and talk as we go."
After sealing the Rakshasa Sect Master and others, the Heavenly Punishment Picture Book came on soon.
Sinner: Tang You (eight and a half stars)
Cultivation: Third-grade blood transformation (perfect)
Divine Punishment: 20 Strength
Reward: 28,000 experience/day and night
…
Lu Ning carefully calculated that three third-level cultivations plus twenty-seven fourth-level cultivations would add a total of about 200,000 experience points to himself.
If you supervise him for one night, the power of divine punishment will increase and the reward experience will be doubled.
The total experience should reach about 18.4 million.
On the way back to Qingzhou.
Lu Ning said to everyone: "There is only one word difference between the Mysterious Dragon Pulse Locking Technique and the Black Snake Pulse Locking Technique. That is because it is easier to transform a snake with true energy than a dragon, and the same is true for true energy."
"But the power of clouds and mud is different."
"The implementation of Zhan Xuanlong Veins Locking Technique focuses on transformation into form, true energy into form or true essence into form."
"The realm of all phenomena not only pays attention to the strength of the physical body, but also the condensation of the true energy. The image is not an elephant, but the image of all things."
"After mastering the essence of this realm and reaching the third level of cultivation, you can easily perform the Black Dragon Pulse Locking Technique."
The Xuanlong Pulse Locking Technique can only be used when someone has reached the third level of cultivation.
At the fourth level of cultivation, even if the true energy can transform into a dragon form, it will be difficult to perform this technique.
But after reaching the third level, the true energy turns into true essence, and it is easy to perform this technique.
As soon as Lu Ning explained, Lin Jian, Zuo Hongchen and other third-level practitioners suddenly realized.
First of all, they did not fully understand the fourth-grade Vientiane Realm, and they broke through to the third-grade Blood Transformation Realm.
The level of cultivation has gone up, but the strength, state of mind, etc. have not risen much.
That's because they don't fully understand each realm. In many cases, they don't fully understand the fifth realm until they reach the fourth level, which gives people a sense of hindsight.
For a time, Lin Jian and others admired Lu Ning even more.
July 22nd.
early morning.
Experience: 90.7 million points.
As Lu Ning expected, when Tang You and others' natural punishment increased to 60 punishment power, their total experience would reach 18.5 million points per day and night.
Because Tang You and more than 300 people rushed back to Qingzhou City from Evil Ghost Mountain, wasting a whole day and night.
Lu Ning asked Zuo Hongchen and other 100 people to escort Tang You's 300 people back to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty first.
Then someone asked Fang Ping, the prefect of Qingzhou, to talk about the supply station. Fang Ping praised the idea and said he would handle the supply station well.
Lu Ning then went to Zuo's house and said goodbye to Zuo Xi.
Then he took Lin Jian and others to question Jinlei Temple.
Golden Thunder Temple.
In front of the mountain gate, when the young monk saw Lu Ning and others, he ran towards the temple with a look of shock on his face.
Lu Ning got off his horse and walked towards the temple.
moment.
A group of young and strong monks came out of Jinlei Temple and stood in a row blocking Lu Ning's path.
Lu Ning didn't even look at it, and struck out with the Diamond Thunder Fist. A row of monks were instantly beaten until they vomited blood and flew backwards.
Seeing this, the adult monks rushed forward and stood in a row to block the way.
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank, and a winter thunder knife appeared in his hand.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, a message came from the door of Jinlei Temple: "Amitabha."
The abbot of Jinlei Temple, Yuanming Divine Monk, slowly walked out and looked at the disciples in the temple, "All these idiots, please retreat."
All the disciples retreated.
The Yuanming Divine Monk came forward and clasped his hands in front of Lu Ning: "Donor, please calm down and stop committing murder."
Lu Ning frowned: "Master's words sound so awkward."
Monk Yuanming sighed: "Junior brother Yuantong secretly went down the mountain to support King Yongshan in his rebellion. I have already expelled him from Jinlei Temple."
"The disciples were angry and blocked the donor out of nostalgia for the past, but they were not at fault. Therefore, I ask the donor to show mercy."
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly and put away the winter thunder knife.
"As far as I know, you expelled Monk Yuantong ten days ago."
"That is to say, I started to investigate Jianghu sects. The master announced the news in order to avoid trouble."
Divine Monk Yuanming took a deep breath and said: "Although Junior Brother Yuantong made mistakes, he is still a disciple of Jinlei Temple. He couldn't stand some things. He was so angry that he helped King Yongshan and fought against the destiny. He has already atoneed for his sins with himself."
"If the benefactor is kind and wise, he should not come to Jinlei Temple to disturb us monks again."
Lu Ning's lips curled up coldly: "So, it's my fault?"
The Yuanming Divine Monk sighed: "It's hard to tell what is right and what is wrong, and I don't want to argue with the donor about right or wrong. From now on, the Jinlei Temple will close the gate and ask the donor to leave."
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly: "After checking Jinlei Temple, I will leave on my own."
The voice fell and he waved to Lin Jian and others.
"check!"
Lin Jian and others walked toward the Jinlei Temple, but were stopped by the Yuanming Divine Monk.
Seeing this, Lu Ning didn't talk nonsense at all. In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Yuanming Divine Monk and punched him.
The Yuanming Divine Monk was not convinced and punched Lu Ning. As a result, his entire arm was instantly beaten to a bloody pulp, and his whole body hit the wall of the temple, causing the temple to collapse.
"Master!"
"Abbott!"
All the disciples of Jinlei Temple rushed in front of Yuanming Divine Monk, their faces full of pain and anger.
"If you don't cooperate with the Demon Suppressing Division's investigation, Jinlei Temple will no longer exist."
A cold light flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. The problem of Jinlei Temple was already huge. Ten years ago, Monk Yuanding was the leader of Tianyue Sect. Monk Yuantong also went to help King Yongshan. Maybe Monk Yuanming was also from Tianyue Sect. people.
In other words, Jinlei Temple is no longer the original Jinlei Temple, and the evil spirit is overwhelming.
Lin Jian and others quickly went to search the situation inside Jinlei Temple.
Lu Ning stood in front of the temple gate, activated his left eye, and with the flow of three-color light and the technique of fortune-seeing, he could see through the body of Yuanming Divine Monk at a glance, and it turned out to be a black ape.
Seeing the black ape, I suddenly thought of the Demon Ape Clan on the Demon Ape Islands that Zuo Hongchen mentioned. Could this old monk be the Demon King of the Demon Ape Clan?
"Made, it turns out you are not the Yuanming Divine Monk."
With an angry look on his face, Lu Ning instantly shook the Jinlei Temple disciples away and punched the Yuanming Divine Monk to kill them.
Roar!
Sure enough, the Yuanming Divine Monk showed a ferocious smile, roared, and his body rapidly expanded, turning into a twenty-foot-tall demon ape in an instant, his eyes glowing with blood.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of Jinlei Temple were instantly stunned.
who is this?
At this moment, the monks saw Lu Ning slash out with his sword, and the rolling blade split the demon ape in half that was about to fight crazily.
Poof!
The blood turned upside down like a lake of blood, and everyone was covered in blood with a splash.
After Lu Ning split the body of the demon ape, he saw a black shadow running towards the east. He quickly caught up with him, and the winter thunder knife split again. The cold thunder flashed and killed the demon soul of the demon ape demon king in an instant. broken.
"Roar ah ah ah...!"
The screams resounded throughout the world, and the demonic ape's soul completely shattered.
At the same time, the Heavenly Punishment Picture Book flashed.
Lu Ning glanced at it casually:
[Congratulations to the Punisher for killing the Eight-Star Sin Demon Ape Demon King and gaining 83 million experience points at once! 】
Experience: 173.7 million points.
Roar!
Deep in the Demon Ape Islands, about ten thousand miles away from Jinlei Temple, on a larger island stood a fifty-foot-tall Demon Ape, its eyes flashing with intense blood.
It was the father of the demon ape killed by Lu Ning just now. It seemed to feel the death of his son. It roared toward the northwest, but it made no move.
In Jinlei Temple.
Lin Jian and others found the Yuanming Divine Monk who was sealed by magic in an underground secret room.
The Yuanming Divine Monk was as skinny as firewood, and somewhat breathless.
"Master!"
"Abbott!"
During this period, none of the disciples in the temple found anything wrong with the abbot.
If it weren't for Lu Ning who forced the demon ape to appear as a demon, they would have foolishly thought it was the abbot.
"What a sin!"
As soon as the real Yuanming Divine Monk escaped from the trap, he shouted in pain.
Ten years ago, the divine monk Yuanding was the leader of the Tianyue Cult. He did not expect that ten years later, Yuantong would also be influenced by Yuanding. He became a little possessed and had to go down the mountain to help King Yongshan.
The key point is to sneak attack on him with a demon ape demon king on the Demon Ape Islands.
"Where's Yuantong?" Yuanming shouted.
"Master, Master Yuantong was killed by him!" A middle-aged monk said, pointing at Lu Ning.
When the Yuanming Divine Monk heard this, he also looked at the young man in brocade clothes and saw that he was from the Demon Suppressing Division.
"Amitabha, is the empress of the world, or...!"
"Empress!"
Lu Ning responded coldly to the latter.
Hearing this, the Yuanming Divine Monk breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he supported the empress in governing the world.
In fact, in his eyes, it doesn't matter who governs the world.
The so-called equality of all living beings means the equality of men and women.
In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with a woman being an emperor.
On the other hand, his junior brother Yuantong was simply confused.
After a moment, Lin Jian and others rushed out of Jinlei Temple. Standing behind Lu Ning, Lin Jian said, "Sir, I didn't find the monk Yuanding."
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly, thinking that Yuanding had left Jinlei Temple and would never come back.
Pei Tianbei glanced at Zhenyuanming Divine Monk and said, "Brother Lu, are you still burning Jinlei Temple?"
Lu Ning turned her face and glanced at him. The young man's eyes were a little complicated. He smiled and said: "The demon has been eliminated, why should we burn down the Jinlei Temple?"
After the voice fell, he turned to look at the Yuanming Divine Monk and said: "Master Yuanming, I suggest that Jinlei Temple be closed for three years. There is no problem."
The Yuanming Divine Monk nodded and said: "If the donor doesn't suggest it, I will take the initiative to seal the mountain. I will seal the mountain for three years according to the donor's words."
Hearing this, Lu Ning raised his head and scanned the Jinlei Temple with his consciousness. There was indeed nothing unusual. He turned on his horse and took a look at the Yuanming Divine Monk. The latter had his hands clasped together and looked very weak.
"Walk!"
Lu Ning turned around and rode away.
After removing Jinlei Temple, he led his people straight to Gyeongju.
The most powerful sect in Gyeongju is one of the five immortal sects, Ziyang Sect.
Next is the Tao of the Heavenly Master.
But there were no problems with these two sects, so Lu Ning did not plan to go there, and directly investigated the problems of small Jianghu sects, large families in Qingzhou, and banditry in Qingzhou that the Qingzhou government had been unable to investigate.
Among the nine states, Gyeongju is the most serious robber, and the government is basically unable to control it.
Send troops to encircle and suppress the robbers, and the robbers will be reduced to pieces. When the army leaves, the robbers will immediately be reduced to pieces, which is to confront the imperial court.
The Demon Suppression Division also rounded up many times, but the effect was not very great.
Lu Ning planned to directly eliminate the problem of banditry in Qingzhou this time.
Arrive at Gyeongju City.
Zhuo Junqing, the governor of Qingzhou, led the officials of Qingzhou to greet Lu Ning and others.
When he arrived at his house, Lu Ning didn't waste any time and directly asked for a file on the banditry in Qingzhou.
At the same time, Zhuo Junqing was asked to inform the Qingzhou aristocratic family and wait at the Qingzhou government office three days later.
Zhuo Junqing went to do it immediately.
In the past half month, Lu Ning led people from the Suppressing Demon Division to investigate Anzhou and Qingzhou. Although there were also complaints, there were more voices of support.
But on ordinary days, the common people were so oppressed that they didn't dare to say a word. Seeing that the Demon Suppressor was serious, they all started talking and supporting the Demon Suppressant for doing this.
Before Lu Ning came to Qingzhou, many small families and people in Qingzhou who had been oppressed started talking. Finally, someone in the court sought justice for them.
Zhuo Junqing knew all this.
Now Lu Ning is regarded as a god-like figure in the hearts of the people of Da Zhou, a good official who does practical things.
Zhuo Junqing was naturally very excited. If the banditry in Qingzhou could be cleaned up and the big families could investigate clearly, it would not be a big worry if some small Jianghu sects would be left behind after the cleanup.
After resting for an hour in the prefect's mansion, Lu Ning read through the banditry files again.
The banditry in Gyeongju is mainly concentrated in the south. At the junction with Qingzhou and Yeju, there is a rolling mountain range with about a hundred hills called Baekjasa Mountain.
Thirty years ago, Baizhai Mountain was indeed inhabited by ordinary people, and it was a transportation hub on the three-pronged official road.
It can lead to Qingzhou and Yezhou.
Later, Baizhai Mountain was occupied by bandits. It started as one village and gradually developed into hundreds of villages.
As for the original residents in the village, they were all driven down the mountain to plant farmland, breed animals, etc. to support the bandits in the village. Otherwise, those residents would be killed.
Gradually, in order to survive, the residents colluded with the mountain bandits, but they were also ruffians.
Many people, mainly because they don't want to leave the village too far and still have to live in the fields, build houses at the foot of the mountain and continue to live here.
The robbers on the mountain first started robbing the original residents, but in the end they stopped robbing because the original residents were willing to hand over some of their crops.
Therefore, the robbers' goals became long-term, robbing distant villages and towns, and making them all pay tribute.
Gradually, people within a radius of thousands of miles began to complain.
He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly robbed.
The whole day was spent on tenterhooks.
Later, they gradually got the temper of the robbers. They just rob, but they won't finish the robbery for you, allowing you to keep your breath and continue to make gold and silver for them to rob.
Therefore, now that the robbers are coming, everyone is no longer afraid. All they have to do is give some of the gold and silver at home to the robbers, and the robbers will take the people away.
At most, after drinking some wine, I feel very unhappy and curse the robbers for getting something for nothing.
But the root problem has never been solved.
now.
Baizhai Mountain, the largest hilltop, was built like a large sect.
With white jade floors and white stone walls, even the interior of the village is like a pavilion.
Hall of Hundred Kings.
It is the largest cottage palace in Baizhai Mountain and is where the king of Baizhai Mountain lives, also known as the King of Baizhai Mountain.
The main hall is magnificent.
A man in his fifties with loose curly hair, a big beard, and a bandage on his forehead with the word "hundred kings" written on it.
Next to him, there were two enchanting women with exposed navels, wearing heavy makeup.
"Your Majesty, drink."
"My lord, open your mouth."
boom!
Just then, a bald monk broke in.
…
