"Fellow Taoist, are you serious about this? What did you see?"
Lan Yang, who was sitting cross-legged, looked quite excited. He stood up and the chains on his body jingled, making a crisp sound, which was quite unexpected in the quiet underground palace.
It's like a drowning man grasping at straws.
His eyes were full of hope.
Lao Liu and Guang Yuanzi couldn't help but feel curious.
They had just read the file and listened to Lan Yang's self-report. The matter was clear. It was clear that Lan Yang encountered a demonic obstacle when he broke through to the great realm and accidentally fell into the evil heretic.
When Chu Chen saw everyone looking at him, he immediately nodded slightly and spoke firmly.
"Fellow Taoist Lanyang, you don't know something. Recently, the extraterrestrial demon realm [Luo Guixiang] has joined forces with the Dragon King and Tiger Emperor of the Qingyou Demon Realm to refine an elixir called [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill]."
"This elixir is a Taoist elixir for demonic monks with great supernatural powers. If you take one elixir into your stomach, your Taoist cultivation will skyrocket. It can also break through the bottleneck of demonic power, which is extremely impressive."
When the three of them heard this, they were immediately attracted by Chu Chen's words.
They really haven't heard of this.
Even Guang Yuanzi, who was the first deputy director of the Yuezhou Ghost and God Department, did not know the inside story. He was surprised and shocked, and blurted out:
"The [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill] refining needs will not be"
"Yes, the main material is the soul essence of sentient beings. The soul essence of our human race is the best." Chu Chen nodded slightly and said with emotion:
"A few days ago, the Li family also suffered a disaster because of this, and almost the entire family died."
When one person and two demons heard this, their faces showed shock.
Lan Yang, in particular, seemed extremely excited.
He was originally depressed and desperate, but when he saw hope, his eyes became a little more "angry". However, he still had doubts in his heart and asked:
"Fellow Taoist, this is just a guess. I did encounter a demonic barrier when I broke through and was bewitched by demons. As soon as I came out, the souls and energy of the children under my knees and the people in the mountains were all sucked dry. I..." Chu Chen said slightly Nod.
His judgment is indeed just a guess without actual evidence.
However, it is easy to prove.
Just prove that Lan Yang did not harm anyone.
After the Dachang Dynasty established the world, it used the luck of human nature to impose a blood ban. Whenever monsters eat people and rob humans of their spiritual beauty, they will have more blood ban evil spirits on their bodies.
A man-eating monster with a low moral character, the blood restriction is extremely obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Even if some demons have deep magical power and are covered by magical powers, some experts who are good at "qi gazing", or have special spiritual eyes and magical powers to spy on the demons can also tell whether the demons have blood-forbidden evil spirits and karma.
However, demons who have reached the realm of great supernatural powers, or who have practiced some top-level magic skills, or have some special talents and supernatural powers, can also hide their eyes from others, and can even wear Taoist robes and cassocks to infiltrate Taoism and Buddhism.
Lan Yang has now broken through the realm of great supernatural powers, and his great power is concentrated in himself, and he is born with the magical power to block the fate of fate.
It is impossible to tell with ordinary means whether he has plundered soul essence to practice magic skills.
However, Chu Chen is not an ordinary person.
"Fellow Taoist Lanyang, I have a sword called [Lingjianzi]. It is inherited from the true immortal Xu Jingyang and Xu Tianshi. This sword uses "humanity skills" to open its edge and cut evil, but not good. If you do not harm anyone, Then the spiritual sword will not kill you. If you really become a demon and harm someone, and the divine sword enters your body, you will be killed on the spot. "
After saying that, Chu Chen's eyes narrowed and fell on Lan Yang, saying
"Fellow Daoist, do you dare to take the sword?!"
When Lan Yang heard that it was the inheritance of a true immortal, he immediately became interested. He puffed up his chest and said excitedly:
"Why don't you dare! Fellow Taoist, just try the sword!"
When Lao Liu saw this scene, he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back.
The same goes for Guang Yuanzi on the side.
In fact, the sheep demon Lan Yang killed thousands of people and deserved death. However, the one who killed the demon should not be Chu Chen, but arranged by the Immortal Court.
After all, killing a great magical demon who has done many evil things
Demon, that is a huge achievement and a real "fat vacancy". How can it be arranged at will? The interests of the Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Division are involved. However, Guang Yuanzi did not speak in the end. He knew Chu Chen quite well, and he was not the kind of person who "picks peaches" and grabs the credit.
As he spoke, Chu Chen thought, and a divine sword bursting with golden light appeared in front of him. It is Xu Zhenjun’s [Spirit Sword].
As a member of the Immortal Court, Chu Chen is very clear about the rules of the State and County Ghosts and Gods Department, and naturally knows that Zhan Lanyang involves the distribution of interests within the Immortal Court, which is not something he can decide at will.
However, he was quite confident.
[Lingjianzi] is an invisible sword that is internally refined. Over the years, he has internally refined the way of alchemy, and the divine sword [Lingjianzi] has become more spiritual and can be controlled by his heart.
If Lan Yang is really doing many evil things, before [Ling Jianzi] kills him, he is confident that he can stop his attack in time and save his life. He will not take advantage of others to "pick peaches" from the Yuezhou Ghost and God Division, steal the merits, and embarrass Guang Yuanzi. .
"Fellow Taoist Lan Yang, don't resist, just take my sword!"
Chu Chen made a sword gesture with his hand, shouted loudly, and the divine sword flew out in front of him.
[Spirit Sword] made a whoosh sound and turned into a sword light to stab Lan Yang.
For a moment, everyone was quite nervous.
However, Lan Yang was very calm, closing his eyes and waiting for the trial.
"call out!"
A golden sword light touched his eyebrows, and he was about to break his skull with the sword. Miraculously, [Spirit Sword] stopped in the air and made a "clicking" sound.
Immediately, [Ling Jianzi] turned around.
The sword light flashed, and a ferocious sword wound appeared on Lan Yang's arm, and blood gurgled out.
The injuries looked horrific, but not fatal.
"This is…"
Lan Yang, Guang Yuanzi, and Lao Liu all looked at Chu Chen.
"Fellow Taoist Lan Yang, it is indeed not you who kills people!"
Chu Chen had a faint smile on his face.
【Spirit Jianzi】 belongs to the category of "bullying the weak and afraid of strong swords". They are both monks with great magical powers. Under normal fighting methods, the 【Spirit Jianzi】 condensed with Gang Qi is easy to be blocked by others, so you need the right time to take action.
However, if Lan Yang did not resist, with his mid-level fourth-level Taoist cultivation and more than four thousand Taoist practices, it would be easy to kill the sheep demon Lan Yang with one sword.
But now, he only suffered minor injuries and learned a lesson, which proves that Lan Yang is indeed a kind and gentle monster. He has hurt people, but he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately.
The situation is similar to Song Jian's situation back then.
"I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you."
Lan Yang was extremely excited. His aura was originally unstable and he might fall into Taoist cultivation at any time. At this moment, his aura was stable, becoming stronger and more solid. His whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes. As the saying goes, "Knowing the mind and seeing one's nature" means that the more profound the Tao is, the more important it is to cultivate one's mind and nature.
Guang Yuanzi on the side also had some thoughts. Since Lan Yang was not the one who killed him, there was a lot of involvement behind it. If he could dig deeper, he would probably dig out the top demon power [Qingyou Demon Realm].
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this case is of great importance. It should be reported to the Immortal Court in time!"
"This is natural!"
Chu Chen's spiritual sword can distinguish between good and evil in human nature, although it cannot be used as direct evidence to reverse the case of "Sheep Demon Lanyang".
However, it attracted the attention of the Yuezhou Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the day to kill the sheep demon Lan Yang was postponed indefinitely, waiting for the case to come to light.
In addition, if it was not Lan Yang's fault, it would mean that the souls and essences of thousands of monsters and people were taken away. They are not dead yet and still have a glimmer of hope.
As a result, the Yuezhou Ghost and God Department immediately dug up the corpses of monks and common people buried in "Lanyang Mountain".
On the one hand, they want to search for clues from these corpses, and on the other hand, they want to freeze their corpses to prevent their bodies from decaying.
Chu Chen and Lao Liu also participated and went to Lanyang Mountain in person.
However, it is a pity that the demon acted cautiously and left no clues.
For a time, the situation reached a deadlock.
The Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Department took it very seriously and sent a large number of troops to investigate the case.
"Brother Chu, do you think we can recover those souls? Could they have been used as medicinal materials for alchemy?" Lao Liu was worried. If this is the case, then Lan Yang will be kicked in the crotch by Huang Niba, and he can't explain it.
"That's not the case."
Chu Chen shook his head. He was a master of alchemy and understood the situation. The [Dragon and Tiger Sacred Pill] was not that easy to refine. Not to mention preparing medicinal materials and later refining the elixir, it would take at least several months to conquer the heaven and earth. .
"Lao Liu, you don't need to worry too much. There will always be a path to the mountain, and you can always find clues."
Lao Liu nodded slightly and stopped saying anything that hurt morale.
The current situation is much better than at the beginning.
"Okay, I'll search around Lanyang Mountain again to see if I can smell the scent of the demon thieves and find any clues."
After saying that, Lao Liu flew into the Lanyang Mountains and searched everywhere.
"Brother, why don't we continue searching?"
The kid asked.
"No."
Chu Chen shook his head, found a huge rock in the mountain stream, sat down, and meditated cross-legged.
Industry specializing in surgery.
Lao Liu was born as a dog demon, and his ability to search for clues about demons was unparalleled.
Of course, he is not sitting idle and waiting passively.
Everything should be traced back to its source.
In the Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Division, Lao Liu put the clue target on Lanyang Mountain, while Chu Chen put his target on Lanyang.
At the time of the incident, Lan Yang was invaded by a demon.
This is extremely critical information.
The eight southwest states are different from the past. The demons from outside the territory do not invade randomly, but can come in a targeted manner. In other words, the connection between the demons outside the territory and the heaven and earth within the territory has become closer.
The demons outside the territory no longer fight alone, but can join forces with the demons in the world inside the territory and cooperate with each other.
It is very possible that the extraterrestrial demon is connected with the outside world, so that it can accurately attack Lanyang Mountain. After sitting down cross-legged, Chu Chen summoned the [Laojun Sun and Moon Four Symbols Bagua Mirror], and the clone [Five Color Dream Dragon] transformed into the heavenly demon [Red Dragon Demon King], communicating with the extraterrestrial demon realm [Luo Guixiang].
After secretly spying on [Become a Demon and Make an Ancestral Alliance], he found a group of demons boasting and not talking to each other. He lurked in silence for a long time, but he didn't hear any useful news.
Chu Chen thought about it for a while and immediately showed up to fish.
[Red Dragon Demon King: I heard that someone robbed thousands of souls and essences at once. Brothers, have you ever heard of whose handiwork it was? 】
As soon as these words came out, [Become a Demon and Become an Ancestral Alliance] immediately became lively.
Thousands of soul essences, even for an extraterrestrial demon with great supernatural powers, are a windfall from heaven.
Everyone dreams of getting rich overnight.
The greed-ridden extraterrestrial demons are even more yearning and yearning. Even if they don't talk about their own personal experiences, even if they listen to it, they are all hot and excited.
A group of demons, big and small, spoke one after another and became excited.
[Tibu Demon King: Is it true or false? Who is so powerful? 】
[Red Dragon Demon King: I don’t know, I just heard some rumors. 】
[Tifu Demon King: I’m afraid it’s not just spreading rumors. The great and prosperous dynasty in the region has now learned a lot. The monks, ghosts and gods transferred to the eight southwest states are all people with profound Taoism. Their Taoist hearts are clear and quiet, and they are not easy to invade. I have suffered a lot these days. I am sorry. My heart aches. 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: Tifu, if you can’t do it yourself, don’t say that others can’t do it. The news Chilong said is true. 】
Chu Chen felt happy that he really caught a fish.
The Red Leaf Demon King's background is much better than that of Chilong. The other family has not declined. He is one of the top families in [Luo Guixiang] and is extremely well-informed.
[Red Dragon Demon King: Hongye, isn’t it your handiwork? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: Giggles~ I think, unfortunately, it’s not me, but a junior who has not yet entered the realm of great supernatural powers. He has some connections with my family. Speaking of which, he was extremely lucky and met a Taoist with an unstable mind. The demon clan]
While talking, Hongye talked about the classic achievement of "getting rich overnight".
In fact, what happened is very simple.
This fifth-grade demon took advantage of Lan Yang's impetuous mind, invaded, and used the inner demon magical power to seduce him. After exhausting all means, Lan Yang's Taoist heart was firm and he was not bewitched by the demon.
However, Lan Yang's mood was unstable, his mind was impetuous, he fell into a demonic barrier, and he was unable to extricate himself. As a result, the foreign demon who had been unable to attack for a long time, without any regard for martial ethics, used outside tactics and summoned the "Demon Body", planning to attack from both inside and outside.
Things were progressing extremely smoothly. The extraterrestrial demon spent a lot of effort to break through the barrier of the Lanyang Mountain Temple Formation and was about to take action. Unexpectedly, Lanyang Daoxing had a good chance, and after going through the devil's calamity, he ushered in a breakthrough opportunity.
Seeing this, the demon from outside the territory was afraid of getting in, and did not dare to be greedy to take advantage of Lan Yang's original idea, so he decisively took action to plunder the monks in the mountain, and the souls and spirits of the tribesmen fled. [It's like taking chestnuts from the fire, and snatching food from the tiger's mouth, wonderful! Wonderful! 】
All the big and small devils in the alliance were very excited after hearing this, as if the tip of a knife was licking blood, as if they were the ones who "got rich overnight".
Chu Chen thought about it and continued to inquire.
[Red Dragon Demon King: Hongye, can that junior hand over his soul and energy? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: This is natural. It’s 30% more out of thin air. It’s such a bargain. Who wouldn’t turn it in? 】Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded slightly.
A few days ago, Luo Guizhenmo promulgated a rule that if you get good soul essence, after you turn it in, your superiors will receive an additional 30% of the soul essence as a subsidy.
In other words, the requirements for refining [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill] are high and require high-quality soul essence.
Generally, the demons from outside the territory practice on their own. Good quality human souls and spirits are good, but it is the difference between good rice and coarse grains. Most demons will choose "quantity" rather than quality. [Red Dragon Demon King: It’s indeed a good deal. Next time I have a chance, I’ll redeem it too. Hongye, you’re well-informed. How can I exchange it? Going to Luogui Holy Palace? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: It’s not cost-effective to go to Luogui Holy Palace. It would be a big loss to bring it back outside the territory. It’s better to directly contact the Qingyou Demon Territory in the territory and bargain for 35%. 】
[Red Dragon Demon King is overjoyed: Hongye, how do I contact Qingyou Demon Realm? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: I don’t know the details. I don’t want to go into details. I only know that he went to the Biyouxi Sea]
After a while.
Chu Chen’s face was full of joy:
"Unintentionally, I got such an important clue." PS: Sorry, it's even later. I slept deeply and woke up late. The next chapter will be updated in the evening.
