Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1325 Thanks
"The Great Wilderness Book·Nine Stars Demon Realm·Fengdu Chapter": The natural demon star is ranked nine. The demon star of Fengdu is ranked second because of its ancient history. Fengdu has long been established, with the demon star "Ten Palaces" as the head, and ten demon kings under it, named after the ten Yin generals listed by the people. The ghost king is the head, and the day and night wanderers are the second. Below them are the ox head, horse face, impermanence, leopard tail, bird mouth, fish gills, and wasp, all of which are demon kings with extraordinary strength. The lower seven seats often change, while the upper three seats rarely change. The few replacements are all due to internal struggles, and the strong ones take the top.

The location of Fengdu is unknown, and it seems that only demons know its location. The demon star "Ten Palaces" have never appeared in the world, and most of them travel around the world by day and night. No one knows whether the "Ten Palaces" really exist, and whether all the ten Yin demon kings are present. Sometimes there is a theory that Fengdu is no longer what it is said to be, and the day and night travel together is a demon star. 》

In the afternoon, Lu Ning came to the Demon Suppression Bureau according to Lin Xiyin's message. Although Han Younian's condition was not yet clear, she only needed to verify whether there was any fraud.

However, when she arrived at the Demon Suppression Bureau, she noticed that the atmosphere here had changed a little. Although people's expressions were still normal, there was a sense of urgency in their footsteps.

She was led into the Demon Suppression Bureau by a mute slave and met Lin Xiyin in a house.

As soon as they met this time, she found that Lin Xiyin's mood was not quite right. When she met her in Southern Xinjiang before, Lin Xiyin acted quite arrogant. Although she was not arrogant, she obviously had the feeling of being arrogant as someone from a big family. But now, Lin Xiyin was obviously calmer.

"I've checked the letter you sent yesterday." Lin Xiyin said, "Although it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's indeed a remarkable discovery. It's almost the same as your discovery of the Heaven Beyond Heaven in Southern Xinjiang."

"It's not my credit this time."

"The merit of transmitting the message is also a merit. If it is found that it cannot be transmitted, it is equivalent to nothing. Of course, I will also ask my superiors to reward the archer you mentioned."

"Wait a minute." Lu Ning frowned slightly, "Why are you starting to reward people based on their merits? Isn't this the time..."

"After something of this magnitude, do you still want to continue tracking the follow-up? Even I am not qualified." Lin Xiyin's face darkened slightly, "You lack knowledge about those platforms, but the Demon Suppression Bureau has already estimated what the platform is. This is most likely an assassination attempt on the emperor. Even if it is not, they are preparing to launch an activity with Xingyin as the core, which may kill a large number of lives."

"So, for things like this, those of us who discovered and reported the incident can no longer participate?"

"Of course not." Lin Xiyin winked at Lu Ning, "I am also a member of the Demon Suppression Division, and the Demon Suppression Division handles such matters from top to bottom. I am only a member of the Division of Strange Things, and I need to be ready to be deployed at any time."

What this means is that Lu Ning's current free status is actually the best?

"The Demon Suppression Department cannot seek help from civilians, because most civilians involved in the actions of demons will die. Therefore, I cannot invite you. Since you reported the news, I can reward you, but I absolutely cannot let you continue to participate." Lin Xiyin took two volumes from the bookshelf next to her, and folded a piece of paper that had been written long ago and put it between the pages of the book. Then, she took out a silver note from the drawer and stuffed it into a paper bag.

"This is your reward." She tapped the two books together, "and the other one goes to the archer."

Lu Ning understood what he meant: "In that case, I wish everyone in the Demon Suppression Division good luck in martial arts."

After coming out of the Demon Suppression Bureau, she first found the archer who had been waiting for her in the inn, handed the silver note to him, and told him to go out of the city to find Yuchi Long and leave the law enforcement area as soon as possible. Then she returned to the house to study the two books and a piece of paper.

Of the two books, the first one recorded the famous magic arrays used by demons in history to kill, sacrifice, and spread disasters; the second one was a collection of demon star forces in the Demon Suppression Division. The other piece of paper was a rough arrangement of the upcoming ceremony and subsequent water and land ceremonies after the emperor entered the city. The detailed arrangements were obviously not given to Lu Ning, but the specific content and schedule of the competition were all on it.

It will probably be announced in two days...

Lu Ning glanced at it and put the paper aside, then picked up the two books. Lin Xiyin folded the corners of the pages she needed to read, which was indeed what she hinted at.

In that case...the Demon Suppression Bureau is probably also a place with ears.

The three folded parts record "Crescent Moon", "Spring and Autumn" and "Broken Dragon" respectively.

"The Broken Moon" is the largest-scale assassination array against an individual in history. It is so large that it seems like a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. Not to mention the process of setting up the altar and performing the ritual, the final result is to summon the "second moon" at night, a blue moon with half missing. It will drop a ray of moonlight - in Lu Ning's opinion, it is similar to a space-based weapon - and burn all creatures within an area of ​​about 3,000 acres to ashes. The reason why this spell is classified as a single entity is that except for the target, the rest are considered innocent people. It selects the target through a large number of objects with directional meanings when performing the ritual.

"Spring and Autumn" is the most hidden large-scale spell that acts on the city. This spell will condense the time in the area, and the time perception inside and outside the area will not be different. In the early stage of this spell, people will experience a quarter every day. After the first "year" is over, each quarter will become half a day. After the second "year" is over, a year will be compressed into one day.

Therefore, at the end of the third "year", that is, after the normal seven days, everyone in the city will immediately begin to experience "aging", and according to their own degree of youth or oldness, they will all die within a day. The lifespan lost will be taken away by the demons, and it is unknown what they will do with it.

"Broken Dragon" is not directly offensive, but it is the most fatal thing for all those who accept the destiny. Lu Ning carefully read the properties of "Broken Dragon" and suddenly realized a problem, that is, within the range of all "Chengtian Mandate" of this spell countermeasure, it seems that the tourists also fully meet its characteristics. Although "Broken Dragon" does not cause actual damage, it can completely make specific targets within the range lose the effect of external supply. To put it simply - no mana recovery. Although things like internal strength are not affected, the Demon Suppression Division has already stated that all spells involving similar spells, from left-handed tricks to strange and wonderful methods, including her innate true qi, cannot be naturally replenished.

So, when she was doing the breathing exercises this morning, she felt that there was basically no improvement. She thought she had gotten used to the feeling after practicing for so long, but now it seems that there is no effect at all?

That's probably "Broken Dragon".

Not being the first two is a good thing, but it's not particularly good either. Before the "Dragon Breaker" is removed, the "Heavenly Mandate" who meets the conditions cannot leave this range, and the way to remove it is either to take the initiative to remove it, or the person who performs the spell dies. There is a problem here - the person who performs the spell can hide outside the range of the formation, so at least the "Heavenly Mandate" himself has no chance to go out and deal with the person who performs the spell.

Ning Ke was also in the Demon Suppression Division, and she probably noticed something, but she didn't have a chance to report it. After all, "the one who carries the mandate of heaven" is a relatively limited term, generally referring to the emperor, important ministers of the country, and people who save the overall situation. Tourists, who are "outsiders" specially placed by the distribution center, are also one of them.

"This is a bit serious..."

Lu Ning threw a knife coin up, but the treasure didn't react. "Blocking" is not taking, so she couldn't use it to ask for anything from the other party. She was also slowly trying to figure out the rules of "Life and Death". It didn't seem like she could ask for it back just because she thought she had lost something. It could also be that the external blocking of "Severing the Dragon" also prohibited her from taking things back.

If she cannot get magic supplies later, then the previous method of strengthening herself with innate purple qi to fight can no longer be used casually. Fortunately, it starts today. The demon eye itself does not consume energy, so she can still use it at any time, but the spells she learned are no longer effective. Xuan Yangzi's spells are what the book calls "left-handed methods". The unified feature of this kind of spell is that it is not driven by the immortal spirit breath cultivated, but relies on one's own energy. However, these left-handed methods do not consume much energy. Generally speaking, even if you use too much, you can recover after a good sleep.

But with the "Severed Dragon" here, the energy consumed by using these small spells will not be restored, no matter what. If she continues to use them casually, within two days, she will probably become very tired, and the kind that will not recover.

While thinking about the subsequent response, Lu Ning opened another book. There were two pages folded in this book, but she read it carefully with a learning attitude.

Everyone knows that there are only nine demon stars, as if the number is set by heaven and cannot be exceeded. The Demon Suppression Division is the leader in the fight against demons in the world. There are seven records of the locations of demon stars in the world today, listed in chronological order from ancient times to the present.

The oldest demon star, the master of Wan Yao Mountain, "Jiuli", has never appeared in Wan Yao Mountain since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. Only a few words of records can be found in the historical materials of the previous dynasty, but one thing is certain, that is, all the demons in the world today, if traced back to their origins, all come from Wan Yao Mountain, even the naturally generated demons later, are also influenced by the original ancestors of the demons.

The first power established by demons in the world, the "Ten Palaces" in Fengdu. This power has not appeared in front of humans for a long time, so the Demon Suppression Department has no way of knowing its background. The last time Fengdu appeared was a thousand years ago, when a team of nearly 10,000 demons, including hundreds of demon kings, marched from north to south, devouring all living things along the way, and then disappeared at the end of the South China Sea coast, and there has been no sound since then.

The "Thousand-Eyed Immortal" on Sanxian Island, which existed in the previous dynasty, was the first force to reach a peace agreement with the human race. Although people never take the promises of demons seriously, Sanxian Island has indeed never invaded the Middle Earth since then. Although there are often some rumors of immortal cultivation in the area near the sea where it occupies, and they are becoming more and more outrageous through word of mouth of various storytellers, that's all.

Guang Hengzi of Qingyun Temple is a very strange demon star. The records of the Demon Suppression Department make Lu Ning a little unbelievable. This demon star once assisted the founding of the Wei Dynasty. Because of this, the Emperor of Wei at that time also made a special exception for this demon star and established the Qingyun Temple, allowing him to practice in the temple. Because this matter has never been spread outside, Guang Hengzi has also been spread by the outside world as a real immortal who has practiced Taoism, and people often visit Qingyun Temple. However, after the death of the Taizu of Wei, Guang Hengzi often went out to travel, accepted several demon kings as his personal disciples, and almost ignored the affairs of Qingyun Temple. To this day, no one knows where this demon star is.

The Snow Sect, the demon star "Yingxi" who escaped into the martial arts world, no one knows when the Snow Sect was established. It is not a famous sect, nor has it ever been a famous sect, but everyone who comes out of the Snow Sect is a first-class master in the martial arts world and has made a name for themselves. It was only after long-term observation and evaluation that the Demon Suppression Department included the Snow Sect in the list of demon forces in a state of mutual balance according to the previous rules.

Tiemianlou, the demon star "Yin Yang Mirror". This special demon force that is capable of handling secrets, intelligence, assassination, etc. is very special. It can do any business, regardless of whether it is human or demon. Tiemianlou was not considered by Wei because of its friendliness, but because the cost of moving Tiemianlou might be far beyond imagination. If the human race can work together to deal with other demon forces, then some of the intelligence and people protected by Tiemianlou are enough to make some of the human race defect.

Finally, there is the latest demon star in the northern border. The Demon Suppression Bureau does not know its name yet. It is only known that it likes to use the names of some old legends to name its capable subordinates. General Qin Zhong who is fighting in the northern border has already fought with three demons, and his power is no less than some of the famous demon kings listed in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The two pages that are folded are "Fengdu" and "Saibei Demon Star".

Does this mean that these two groups of forces are involved this time? However, judging from the records, they don't seem to be easy to deal with. Lu Ning has encountered people from the Three Immortal Islands before, and the situation in Tianwaitian is probably the same. People who come out of these places where demons are entrenched have strange qualities, and she doesn't believe in the so-called peaceful coexistence of demons.

Just as Lin Xiyin said, the Demon Suppression Division would not allow civilians to assist, and she could not drag Lu Ning into the Demon Suppression Division - now that the Demon Suppression Division was operating as a whole, she would be dragged down if she was in it. Although Lu Ning could trust its execution speed, it was not necessarily faster and more convenient for someone like her with special abilities to investigate alone.

Especially in this mode, Lin Xiyin and Ning Ke, who are just Si Yi, will definitely not be able to get first-hand information immediately, and the intelligence may not even be as good as what Zhao Yuqiao is trying to find out.

But now that Lu Ning has guessed that it is "Duan Long" by virtue of his special identity, there is one thing he can do. Now that Xingyin City is open, the opportunity is perfect.

"Since I can't leave, it means I can measure the Broken Dragon's range of influence myself."

I'm back. It was a busy weekend, but I finally solved a big problem. I should have more time later.
