Xueyu's windy sedan has been waiting at the door for a long time. In fact, this kind of sedan that relies purely on human power can't move as fast as it does on its own. It's just that the demons have always claimed to be the noblest race, and naturally they don't want to act like slaves. He walks, and he doesn't like to ride a horse like humans do, and there are not many monsters and animals suitable for mounts, so he can only use this method to show off his identity.
Jiang Youye didn't raise any objections to this. Although the sedan was slow, it was more stable. She could take the opportunity to digest the results of her previous training.
Seeing that Lin Xu was meditating as soon as he came up, Xueyu, who was always talkative, stopped saying anything, and the sedan just left Tianyin Garden and headed towards the county town.
Along with the inner demons, the more unstable the mind, the easier it is for people to be controlled by the inner demons, and the training bonus provided by such people is pitifully small, so even if five new heart slaves are added, the training bonus provided The success is not much. Fortunately, everything is just the beginning. Since quality cannot win, she can rely on quantity to increase the scale. If five people are not enough, then she can use a hundred or even a thousand people.
Of course, the premise is that she can afford to support so many people. It seems that just relying on refining weapons by herself is not feasible. She must make her industry bigger and stronger, and this Demon Weapon Hall is an attempt.
While he was thinking about it, Jiang You suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if something suddenly came to an end, but his consciousness did not sense anything abnormal.
"Little junior sister, what's wrong?" Xue Yu asked when he saw Jiang You's strange expression.
Jiang Youben also asked: "Elder brother, did you notice something getting on the sedan?"
Hearing this, Xueyu looked around hurriedly and saw that apart from Jiang You and himself, there were only Hongmei and two blood slaves on the sedan chair.
"It's nothing. Did you have a hallucination due to excessive care yesterday?" Xueyu teased.
"Maybe." Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had good results yesterday, it did take a lot of effort, as if he had been refining a spiritual weapon for a whole day.
But just when Jiang You felt relieved, the fingers of Hongmei next to her turned into sharp black thorns and stabbed towards her.
No matter what the situation was, it was possible that the blood slave had rebelled, but Jiang You could clearly sense Hongmei's heart. She had not rebelled, it was just that her body was out of control.
At this time, Hongmei seemed to be covered by a black film, and her whole body had changed from the entry level of Qi training to the peak of foundation building. The spikes turned into fingers could even break open a high-grade spiritual weapon.
"What's going on?" Upon seeing this, Xueyu hid in a corner and asked two blood slaves to protect him.
Jiang You also knew that he couldn't rely on other demons in this situation, so he could only use the demonic energy he had just cultivated to resist. No matter what kind of demon they are, the demonic energy they cultivate is the same, so they also have the same basic magic skills.
It's just that the basic magic skills at the Qi training level are not worth mentioning in front of the peak of foundation building. The magic energy defense quickly escapes, and Jiang You's heart is quickly exposed to Hongmei.
With Lin Xu's strength in his heyday, he could still deal with the golden elixir at a 50/50 level in the early stage, so resolving the crisis at hand would not be a problem. However, most of the spiritual power in her body had not been converted into spiritual power, and what she wore was only a talisman-level weapon. , which means that if she wants to win, she must expose all her cultivation.
But this is the territory of the demons after all, and it is not a good thing to completely expose your human cultivation, not to mention that although the people next to you have no effect, they still have a pair of eyes.
Not to mention that she didn't know what the assassin's purpose was and whether this was a test.
Therefore, Jiang You did not activate the spiritual shield, but turned his body sideways to deflect his vital points. The black spikes finally broke through the outer garment of the talisman and stabbed the top-quality spiritual weapon inside.
Black thorns can break through high-grade spiritual weapons, but they cannot pierce top-grade spiritual weapons. In fact, the material strength of top-grade spiritual weapons far exceeds that of ordinary third-level magic weapons.
Moreover, this bellyband also has the property of devouring spiritual consciousness. At the moment when the black thorns and the bellyband collided, Jiang Youye felt a steady stream of soul power seeping towards him.
Jiang You did not miss this opportunity, and his mind also took advantage of the opportunity to reverse infiltration, and immediately discovered that the existence controlling Hongmei was hidden in her shadow.
It’s the Shadow Demon! Jiang You has also heard of this name. Although this kind of monster is no longer among the five demons, it is no less easy to deal with than the five demons. Its body is erratic and difficult to be locked by spiritual consciousness, and it can lurk in the shadow of everything. Among them, the shadow can even be used to reversely control the shadow's owner, and it is obvious that Hongmei's shadow is lurked by the shadow demon.
But why would this shadow demon assassinate him? Just when he was trying to find the opponent's inner demon, Shadow Demon reacted in time. He seemed to be aware of the weirdness of the target in front of him, and perhaps had other thoughts because of this, so he gave up the assassination and chose to escape.
"Where to go!" Jiang You rarely allowed Shadow Demon to fall into a trap. How could he let him escape? So she grabbed Hongmei's hand again and continued to devour the other person's mind. Once his mind was depleted to a certain extent, the invasion of the inner demon would be much easier.
But how could Shadow Demon be caught so easily? Hongmei suddenly raised her hands, letting her shadow merge with the shadow of a beautiful blood slave in Xueyu.
Immediately afterwards, Hongmei collapsed, and the blood slave who was touched by the shadow suddenly rose up. She blasted away the blood slave hugging her with a palm, then jumped into the gap in the city wall and disappeared.
Seeing Shadow Demon leave, Xueyu hurriedly supported Jiang You who was in a state of embarrassment and asked with concern: "Little junior sister, are you okay? It's all my fault that senior brother is useless. He was so frightened when he saw a master that he couldn't control himself."
Jiang You could only shake his head helplessly and said: "It's not my fault, senior brother. If the assassin had killed you, I would have run farther than you."
Xueyu smiled awkwardly, but then asked: "I really didn't expect that junior sister could avoid such an assassination. I wonder how did you do it, junior sister?"
Jiang You said perfunctorily: "The inner armor I found in Huxiao Mountain in the early years has no charm at all, but its texture is extraordinary and cannot be broken by ordinary sharp weapons. I just don't know why the assassin would attack me. , after all, I’m just here for the first time, and I’ve never offended anyone.”
Xueyu shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, after all, the relationship between the demons is complicated. Let's go to the master. I believe she will solve it well."
Jiang You nodded. She didn't expect Xueyu to answer her doubts. Since the assassin was determined to be a shadow demon, he could escape the monk but he couldn't escape the temple.
Therefore, Jiang You deliberately delayed a lot of time in the name of treating internal injuries. The scheduled ceremony time at the Demon Soldier Hall had already passed, but there was no sound from Jiang You.
Although in Xuehong's plan, Jiang You was only in charge of part of the work of the Demon Armed Forces Hall, and his status was not higher than that of several senior brothers and sisters, this was the most important part. If no one did the work, then the leaders of the Demon Armed Forces Hall would No amount of it will make it work.
All the demon clan's palaces have sent important figures, and some ancestors even came in person, but all of them could only stare, not knowing what to do next.
"What's going on? Why haven't the blood flakes come yet?"
Since he and Jiang You were beyond the sensing range of his divine consciousness, Xue Hong could only turn to Xue Zhou next to him and ask.
Xue Zhou shook his head and said: "Elder brother went to pick him up early in the morning, but he hasn't come over for some unknown reason. I'll go look for him on the road."
Just as Xue Zhou finished speaking, Xue Ming, who had rushed over to look for him, finally ran back.
"Master, we have found the junior sisters. They are coming here. Let me come and report first." Xue Ming said respectfully.
"Why are you here now? Who does she think she is as a demon? What does she think of as the ancestor of each palace?" Xue Hong said angrily.
"They didn't say why. Master, please ask them themselves." Xue Ming whispered.
Xue Hong also knew that there was no point in being angry with Xue Ming. With so many people watching here, she wouldn't lose her composure.
So she just waited in her seat, wanting to see the explanation of the disciple who was late on the first day.
After about half a stick of incense, Jiang You and Xueyu hurried over. Both of them were sweating profusely, as if they had rushed here in a hurry.
Seeing Lin Xu's behavior, Xue Hong's anger did not diminish at all. She just asked coldly: "Xue Hong, do you know who are here? You actually dare to be late. Do you not take the people here seriously?" ?”
Jiang You was unhappy. According to yesterday's arrangement, she was just a deacon of the Demon Soldier Hall, equivalent to the company's department head. How could a company have to wait for the head of a small department to open?
However, she did not dare to express her resentment. She just explained: "Master, please calm down. The disciple was not late on purpose. He was just robbed and killed on the way. If it weren't for the disciple's good luck, he would have never seen the master."
Xue Hong was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xue Yu and asked, "Is that so?"
Xueyu nodded and said: "The person who assassinated my junior sister was a shadow demon, and his cultivation level was above the peak of Foundation Establishment, so he caught us off guard. Fortunately, this shadow demon had some scruples, and escaped on his own initiative after being unable to kill him with one blow. .”
One Blood Demon Seed may not be reliable, but if two Blood Demon Seeds corroborate each other, there is no need to doubt it. So Xue Hong was also exposed, and turned to the position of the special envoy of the Shadow Demon Palace and said angrily: "Old ghost, you are not authentic. , the first time someone who can refine demon weapons appears in our Blood Demon Palace, you just want to assassinate him, you shadow demons are really doing whatever it takes to squeeze into the five demons!"
A third-level demon cultivator in black robes in the square couldn't help but stood up. He snorted coldly: "Little friend Xuehong was assassinated by the shadow demon. We will definitely investigate with all our strength, but fellow Taoist Xuehong thinks it was us shadow demon." Palace Master, we will not admit your slander. Not to mention that the heavenly demon has left, the earth demon has fallen, and the inner demon and the phantom demon have been lost. We, the shadow demons, are truly one of the five great demons, so how can we use such low-level tactics? Cruel means?"
Xue Hong was just looking for someone to take the blame for this embarrassment. Now that everyone's attention had been diverted, she was no longer reluctant, but said in a slower tone: "No matter what, you must give me an answer in the future. , as one of the five remaining demons in ancient times, our Blood Demon Palace cannot be bullied at will."
The special envoy of Shadow Demon was already in the wrong. Since Xuehong had given him a step up, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will give an explanation to little friend Xuehong, but business matters are more important at this time."
Xue Hong nodded. She pointed at the thousands of demon disciples in the square and asked Jiang You: "Xu'er, how many of these people do you think are suitable to join our Demon Armed Forces Hall?"
It’s no wonder that each demon clan is so concerned about the Demon Armed Forces Hall. After all, each demon clan has different requirements for the details of the Demon Armed Forces. Therefore, the more children who join the Demon Armed Forces Hall, it means that they have more knowledge about the Demon Armed Forces. right of first choice.
It's just that Jiang You was really too lazy to screen them one by one, so she just wrote the simplest magic text on the magic soldiers in the square.
"The assessment begins! Whoever can copy this magic text in the shortest time will be able to join the Demon Weapon Hall. The number of places is limited, and only the top one thousand will be selected!"
