There are many splendid inns, pubs and teahouses in the Demon-Slaying City.
After Tanlang left in advance, Su You took Jiang Nuer and Qi Meiren to the most corner of the city and found a tavern that seemed to have just been built a few days ago.
The tavern only hangs a wine flag outside. When you walk in through the ajar door, you can see the simpler decoration inside. The entire tavern only has three tables, chairs and a counter. Even the wine I didn't even see a few jars.
There was even no trace of the shopkeeper in the tavern.
It wasn't until Su You and others crossed the threshold and walked into the tavern that a voice came from the backyard of the tavern and said, "Sorry, this tavern has not officially opened yet. If you want to drink, you can go to other taverns."
Then the door curtain connecting the hall and the backyard was opened.
"Junior Brother Su, it turns out to be you!"
When the tavern owner who walked from the backyard to the lobby saw Su You sitting in front of the counter, he immediately stepped forward with joy and opened the few jars of wine on the counter for Su You, and then served the three The man poured the wine and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Su, I thought it would be some time before you come to Demon Killing City, but I didn't expect you to come just after my tavern opened."
Su You took the wine glass handed over by the other party, drank all the liquid in the glass, then turned to introduce to Qi Meiren and said: "Miss Qi, this is my senior brother from the inner courtyard of Tiandu Ling Mansion, Fatty Li. "
"Senior Brother Li, this Miss Qi is not simple. Although she is not a disciple of any clan force, she has a cultivation level of the first level of Nirvana."
"It turns out to be Miss Qi." Fatty Li nodded towards Meiren Qi with a cheerful look, "You can call me Fatty Li like Junior Brother Su, and we will all be friends from now on. Come on, here we are. This glass of wine is for you.”
With that said, Fatty Li moved the glass of wine he had just poured in front of Qi Meiren.
Qi Meiren did not pretend to be cold, she nodded slightly to express her gratitude, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
And at the same time.
Su You asked Fatty Li about the news about Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan, "Senior Brother Li, have Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie not come back yet? Have they contacted you and told you when they will return to Demon Slaying City?"
"There is news."
Hearing Su You mention Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan, Fatty Li's expression became very serious, "It's just that Senior Sister Zeng said that they encountered groups of more than a dozen evil spirits from the Demon Realm somewhere, but because of that The level of cultivation of the evil ghosts from the Heavenly Demon Realm is not too high, so I plan to catch all the evil ghosts from the Heavenly Demon Realm before returning to Demon Slaying City to join me."
"By the way, it was already four days ago when I received this message. I don't know how the situation is going with Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie."
"Four days ago..."
Hearing this, Su You fell into deep thought, and his frown showed that he was not calm.
Seeing Su You's serious expression, Fatty Li, who had been smiling just now, felt his heart skip a beat. He immediately approached Su You in a panic and asked in a low voice: "Junior Brother Su, do you think Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie will do it?" What kind of danger will we encounter outside? Otherwise, why have we not returned to Demon Slaying City after four days? Even the news has not been sent back."
"I don't know either."
Su You shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Xie should be able to restore his cultivation level to its original level at a not slow speed after regaining his consciousness. In addition, Senior Sister Zeng's cultivation talent is also good. I think as long as we don't encounter There are more than a dozen demon demons in the Nirvana realm who can run away even if they cannot be defeated, but... it is really worrying that there is no news after such a long time."
"correct."
Suddenly thinking of something, Su You hurriedly asked Fatty Li, "Do you still remember which direction Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie were walking in?"
Just as he was talking, Jiang Nuer had already unfolded a map on the table that detailed the Demon Killing City and its surrounding environment.
Fatty Li immediately reached out and pointed in a certain direction on the map.
At this time.
Qi Meiren, who had not said a few words since entering the tavern, stood up and stared at the direction Fatty Li pointed on the map, and then said to Su You with a serious expression: "If he didn't point to the wrong place, If so, plus I haven’t heard from those two people for four days, then I think the situation is in danger for those two people.”
"What did you say? The situation is in danger?" Su You, who did not expect Qi Meiren to suddenly stand up and say such a sentence, hurriedly asked: "Miss Qi, please explain clearly why Senior Sister Zeng and Brother Xie are in danger. In such a young situation, is there anything terrifying in the place that Senior Brother Li pointed out just now?"
Qi Meiren first shook her head, then nodded again before speaking: "If I remember correctly, or if this world has not changed, then if you continue to go deep into the border of the mainland from this direction, you will definitely encounter something very special. There are many evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm gathered there, and the most important thing is that most of the evil ghosts from the Heavenly Demon Realm entrenched there appear in groups. In addition, coupled with the cultivation realms of at least the fourth level of the Unsullied Realm, If there are just two people, it will be difficult to make a difference. Instead, they may encounter a counterattack and have nowhere to run."
Su You and Fatty Li immediately widened their eyes.
Fatty Li immediately became worried after listening to what Qi Meiren said, and was very worried that Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan would not be able to return to Demon Slaying City.
Su You, on the other hand, was much calmer. After thinking for a while, he asked Qi Meiren: "If we go to rescue them, what do you think are the chances of rescuing them? Without considering injuries and other circumstances."
Qi Meiren was also unambiguous and said straightforwardly: "If they have really been targeted by the evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm entrenched there, the chance of bringing them back is probably less than 30%. But if they haven't been completely discovered yet, secretly The chance of bringing them back is about 50%."
"Why is it so low?" Su You murmured in a low voice while looking at Qi Meiren's face.
"Because there is a demon general who is one of the eight demon generals in the Demon Realm who is personally guarding it." Qi Meiren said in a deep voice.
After finishing speaking.
Immediately, Qi Meiren used her spiritual power as a pen to draw a total of three circles on the unfolded map.
She pointed to the three circles and said to Su You and others: "These three circles are the places where a large number of evil spirits from the Demon Realm gathered when I came to the border of the mainland. At first, I thought these places were just the Demon Realm. The number of evil spirits was a bit larger, but when I investigated in depth, I discovered that the evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm in these three places were actually patrolling nearby under the orders of someone. Only a few evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm were sent out to investigate. The surrounding environment and attacks on human cultivators who are alone or passing by."
"After being very surprised by this, I continued to investigate in depth, and then I found out that these evil spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm were obeying the orders of the eight major demon generals of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and one of the eight major demon generals was personally guarding the place."
"It's just that I never understood why the White Demon Realm would send a demon general to the mainland border but keep launching attacks. Instead, he stayed in place and remained motionless."
"But what is certain at present is that if Fatty Li just said it right, then the Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie you are talking about have most likely attracted the attention of the evil spirits in the Demon Realm. The worst case scenario is that the two of them have already Died at the hands of evil spirits from the Demon Realm."
The words fell.
Fatty Li's face had turned pale.
He approached Su You and said to Su You in a pleading tone: "Junior Brother Su, why don't we go search nearby quickly? Maybe Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie are on their way back?"
Of course, Su You knew that Fatty Li must be anxious at this moment, but he still asked Fatty Li to calm down for a while. After he thought about it for a while, he said to Fatty Li: "Senior Brother Li, just stay in the tavern. If in the next four days, If there is no news from us, go to this location on the map and find a person named Tanlang. When others ask, just say that you hope they can help find traces of Su You."
After taking off a jade pendant hanging on his waist and giving it to Fatty Li, Su You continued: "I will go to the place you pointed out with Nu'er and Miss Qi later to investigate. If we don't come out, If something unexpected happens, you should be able to return to Demon Slaying City within two or three days."
After saying that, Su You, Jiang Nuer and Qi Meiren stood up and left Fatty Li's tavern.
Fatty Li, on the other hand, was sitting in front of the counter with the jade pendant Su You gave him, with a drooped face and the corners of his mouth moving slightly to pray to the sky for Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan.
But after leaving Fatty Li's tavern, Su You did not rush directly to look for traces of Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan. Instead, he first went to the branch of the Seven Kills Palace in the Demon-Slaying City to spend his soul there. After Shi purchased a piece of information, he sped up and left Demon Killing City, rushing to the area drawn by Fatty Li on the map.
Along the way.
Qi Meiren continued to explain to Su You and Jiang Nuer: "There is a swamp there, and there are many evil spirits from the Demon Realm who like to hide under the mire pools in the swamp. It is easy for the evil demons from the Demon Realm hiding in it to be killed. Sneak attack.”
"The swamp is surrounded by intricate mountains and valleys. The evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm assigned by the Demon General are entrenched and stationed in it. It is best not to go deep into it and ask for trouble unless it is absolutely necessary."
"But I do know that there are many hidden paths in this place. If we can find those two people, we can return to Demon-Slaying City through the paths."
I really didn’t expect Qi Meiren to be so knowledgeable about the environment on the mainland border. Su You chuckled and said, “It seems that taking Miss Qi with us is indeed the right choice. Then let’s speed up and rescue the person as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. "
Immediately, the three of them sped up and rushed to their destination.
Two days later, he rushed from Demon Killing City to the place where Fatty Li said Zeng Ruoli and Xie Chaofan had appeared.
Just standing on the edge and looking forward, all you can see is a silent swamp. Except for swamps and slightly sparse woods, there are no other creatures.
Until Su You used his powerful soul power to discover corpses belonging to the evil spirits of the Demon Realm that were about to sink to the bottom in the swamp.
"Is it the work of Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Xie?"
Su You approached the swamp. As the number of corpses of demons from the Demon Realm sensed by his soul and soul increased, his doubts became deeper and deeper.
Wait until you actually reach the swamp closest to you and stop.
Su You controlled his spiritual power to dig out a corpse from the Demon Realm that had sunk into the swamp. Then he squatted down and looked at the headless corpse in front of him and the neat and smooth wounds on the corpse. He murmured in a deep voice: "Can we directly The swordsmanship that hurts the soul... could it be Senior Brother Xie's drunken killing of gods and demons?"
Behind him, Jiang Nuer and Qi Meiren also followed, looking at the headless corpses of the demons from the Demon Realm that Su You dug out of the swamp one after another with puzzled expressions.
