Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

He was a mysterious man covered in a black robe, on which were faintly embroidered some strange and eerie runes, as if constantly emitting dark magic.

This person was standing in an abandoned old house, which was surrounded by thick black fog. The black fog seemed to have life, constantly rolling and surging, shrouding everything around in a gloomy atmosphere.

As soon as Fang Yue and others stepped into the ancient house, they felt a strong sense of oppression, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at them in the dark, which made people shudder.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here? Today is the day you die!" The mysterious man in black robe made a hoarse and cold voice, which echoed in this dead silent old house.

Fang Yue's eyes were stern, and he replied loudly: "You are such an evil person, bringing disaster to the world. Today I will completely destroy your nest and bring peace to the world!"

After saying that, he was the first to draw his sword and rushed forward. The martial arts masters and imperial troops behind him also shouted and followed. For a moment, the shouts and screams broke the original silence of the ancient house.

The mysterious man in black robe was not in a hurry. He slowly raised his hands and muttered something. The black fog surrounding the ancient house instantly turned into black arrows and shot towards Fang Yue and others.

The sharp arrow was extremely fast, and wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yue used his body skills and his figure turned into a series of afterimages, nimbly moving back and forth between the gaps between the sharp arrows. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand, and streams of sword energy shot out, colliding with those black arrows, causing bursts of roars. The aftermath of the energy impact made the surrounding houses shake.

Other martial arts masters and imperial troops also used their skills to block with weapons or cast spells to resist, and the situation was in a stalemate for a while.

But when the mysterious man in black robe saw this, he snorted coldly and increased his magic power output. The black fog surged again, and several tall and hideous black monsters condensed in the center of the ancient house.

These monsters exuded a pungent stench, opened their bloody mouths, and waved their thick arms covered with spikes as they pounced towards the crowd.

"Everyone be careful, these monsters are not easy to deal with!" Fang Yue warned loudly, then rushed towards the monsters with his sword raised.

He used his recently learned powerful sword moves. Each sword move contained great power. It slashed at the monster, splashing black smoke. Although the monster was attacked, it seemed to feel no pain and continued to attack everyone frantically.

The martial arts masters also used their unique skills to fight a desperate battle with the monster.

Some used fierce palm techniques to beat the monsters back again and again; some used magic weapons, which shone brightly and temporarily trapped the monsters' movements.

The imperial army assisted from the side, finding the right moment to use bows and crossbows to shoot at the monster's vital points.

With everyone's concerted attack, the monster gradually showed signs of weakness, but at this moment, the mysterious man in black robe suddenly launched an even more terrifying attack.

He took out a black bead emitting a strange light from his arms and chanted an obscure spell. The bead instantly released an extremely powerful dark force, sweeping towards everyone.

Wherever this force went, it seemed that even the space was distorted, and huge cracks were torn into the ground. Many martial arts masters and soldiers were hit by this force, and they vomited blood and flew backwards, seriously injured.

Fang Yue also felt the horror of this power. He gritted his teeth and decided to give it his all.

He mobilized all the strength in his body and gathered it into the sword in his hand. The sword shone brightly and the runes on the sword flashed even more dazzlingly, as if to compete with the dark power.

"The light that destroys demons!" Fang Yue shouted and displayed his strongest sword skill. A huge sword energy shining with holy light gushed out from the tip of the sword and rushed towards the dark force.

In an instant, light and darkness collided with each other, and the whole world seemed to fall into chaos. The strong light and darkness intertwined, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

The huge roar was deafening, as if it would burst people's eardrums.

At this critical moment of stalemate, Fang Yue felt that his strength was being consumed bit by bit, but he had only one thought in his mind, that is, he must not let this evil force succeed.

With his strong will, he continued to maintain the power of his sword skills.

Finally, after a stalemate that seemed to last for a long time, the dark power gradually showed a trace of loosening, and the mysterious man in black robe also showed a trace of panic.

Fang Yue seized this opportunity and suddenly increased his power output. The holy light finally broke through the darkness and swept towards the mysterious man in black robe.

The mysterious man in black robe was unable to dodge and was hit by the light. He let out a scream, and the black bead fell from his hand, and the light dimmed in an instant.

Without the support of the black beads, the monsters dissipated and disappeared into wisps of black smoke.

Fang Yue and others took the opportunity to launch a general attack and captured the mysterious man in black robe in one fell swoop.

This fierce battle made everyone exhausted, but looking at the evil lair that was successfully destroyed, everyone's hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Fang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, shifted his gaze away from the mysterious man in black robe, and looked at his companions around him who also looked a little embarrassed but had determination in their eyes.

"Everyone, you all have worked hard in today's battle, but this also makes us more aware that these evil forces are extremely hidden and ruthless, so we must not take future actions lightly." Fang Yue said in a serious tone.

Everyone nodded, and the martial arts masters helped each other treat the wounds, while the imperial army began to reorganize the troops and count the casualties.

The captured mysterious man in black robe collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, but he was too seriously injured to resist.

Fang Yue walked forward, squatted down, and stared at the mysterious man in black robe with sharp eyes: "Tell me, who is behind you to set up such an evil nest here, and what are you trying to plan?"

The mysterious man in black robe snorted coldly, turned his head away, and did not answer, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

Fang Yue frowned slightly and continued, "If you tell the truth, perhaps I can ask for a lighter sentence for you in front of the court. If you insist on being stubborn, then the only way waiting for you is death."

However, the mysterious man in black robe kept his lips tightly closed and said nothing.

Fang Yue knew that it would not be easy to pry words out of him, so the best plan now was to bring this man back to the capital and hand him over to the court's professional interrogators.

Therefore, Fang Yue arranged a team of soldiers to keep the mysterious man in black robe under strict surveillance and prepare to escort him back to the capital.

They continued to search the ancient house to see if there were any missing clues.

Everyone dispersed and carefully explored every corner of the ancient house.

In a secret basement, they found some dusty books and letters. Fang Yue picked up the book and flipped through it, and found that it contained some ancient and evil formations, as well as information about secret contacts with the evil cult organization in Dajin. It seemed that the mysterious man in black robe was indeed closely connected with Dajin.

The letter vaguely mentioned a larger conspiracy, which seemed to be to launch attacks simultaneously in various parts of Wei, so as to create chaos and overwhelm the Wei court, thereby achieving their ulterior motives.

Fang Yue's face became increasingly gloomy. He was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and immediately decided to speed up the pace of the investigation. He must not let the conspiracy of these evil forces succeed.

After everyone had thoroughly searched the ancient house, they set out on the journey back to the capital, taking the evidence they had found and the mysterious man in black robe.

Along the way, Fang Yue was thinking about how to deal with the crisis that might come next. He knew that relying solely on himself, these martial arts masters, and the imperial army was far from enough. He had to alert the entire Wei Dynasty and get the entire people involved in the action against the evil forces.

After returning to the capital, Fang Yue immediately reported the situation to the Queen of Wei, Zhu Linlang, and presented the evidence he had found.

When the empress heard this, she was furious and immediately ordered an intensified investigation. She also asked court officials to inform the whole country of the situation, reminding people everywhere to be vigilant and report any suspicious people or things to the authorities immediately.

After the imperial notice spread throughout the Wei Dynasty, the people also took spontaneous action.

Citizens in many towns spontaneously organized patrols to patrol the streets day and night, not missing any suspicious signs.

Some warriors even took the initiative to report to the government and request to join the team to fight against evil forces. Even if they were just doing some logistical support or delivering messages, they hoped to contribute.

On Fang Yue's side, after reporting the situation, he did not stop.

He discussed with relevant officials of the imperial court and the leaders of various major sects to develop a more detailed and comprehensive response strategy.

They decided to divide the area into different regions based on the geographical environment and population distribution, and assign specific people to be in charge of each area. There would be imperial troops stationed in key positions, and martial arts masters would lead folk warriors to conduct daily inspections and patrols.

At the same time, special contact points have been set up so that once an abnormality is discovered in a certain area, the message can be quickly passed on so that other areas can respond in time and support each other.

In order to improve everyone's ability to deal with the various sorcery and methods of evil forces, Fang Yue organized several training sessions.

He invited masters from various major sects who were proficient in different skills and spells to teach the personnel involved in the operation how to crack the problems and defensive techniques.

For example, for those evil spells that can control monsters, masters who are proficient in the art of taming beasts will explain how to disrupt the monsters' minds and make them lose the coordination of their attacks; for the illusions commonly used by evil forces, seniors who are good at spiritual practice will teach everyone how to stabilize their minds and not be deceived by illusions.

In terms of material preparation, with the strong support of the eight major families, all kinds of sophisticated weapons, healing pills, and spiritual objects needed to cast spells were continuously transported to various strongholds.

The imperial court also increased its support for blacksmith shops, alchemy rooms and other related workshops in various places, encouraging them to step up production and ensure adequate supply of materials.

However, while preparations were in full swing, the evil forces were not idle either.

In a small town on the northwest border of the Great Wei, strange black flames inexplicably ignited in many places in the city overnight.

The flames were so hot that wherever they reached, the houses were instantly reduced to ashes, and the people fled in panic.

Moreover, the flames seemed to have life and would actively chase the crowd. Many people were swallowed by the flames while fleeing, and their screams resounded through the night sky.

The local garrison and martial artists rushed to the scene and tried to put out the fire, but ordinary water did not work at all, and spell attacks could only temporarily weaken the flames, which would soon burn again and become even more fierce.

The news soon reached the capital. After hearing it, Fang Yue immediately led an elite team to a small town on the northwestern border.

When Fang Yue and his party arrived at the small town, the scene before them shocked everyone.

The entire town was almost half engulfed by the black flames, and the ruins were filled with a pungent burnt smell and a strong evil atmosphere.

The cries and screams of the people intertwined together, like hell on earth.

Fang Yue's face was grim, his eyes revealed firmness and determination. He knew that he had to find the source of the black flames as soon as possible and put them out, otherwise the town would be completely reduced to ruins and the people would suffer a devastating disaster.

"Everyone, don't panic. Follow the tactics we discussed earlier. Some people will help the people evacuate, and some people will follow me to find the source of the fire!"

Fang Yue shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty and calmness, which calmed everyone present down a little.

He led a group of martial arts masters and court elites, rushing towards the direction where the flames were the most intense.

Along the way, they encountered multiple attacks from black flames.

The flame seemed to have its own spirit, constantly changing its shape and attack method. Sometimes it turned into a huge fire snake, pouncing on everyone with bared fangs and claws; sometimes it split into countless small fireballs, attacking them like an overwhelming force.

Fang Yue displayed exquisite sword skills. The sword moved with his body, and sharp sword energy whizzed out, extinguishing the approaching flames one after another.

But the flame has a strong regenerative ability. As soon as it is extinguished in one area, it will reignite in other places in an instant.

"This flame is very evil, and seems to be connected to some evil formation. It is difficult to completely eliminate it with simple attacks." Fang Yue analyzed calmly while resisting the flame attack.

An old man who was traveling with him and was good at formations heard this, carefully observed the surrounding environment and the direction of the flames, nodded and said:

"What Master Fang said is absolutely right. I think the layout of the flames vaguely shows the prototype of an ancient evil formation - the 'Nine Nether Flame Demon Formation'. Once this formation is fully formed, its power will be immeasurable. Not only will this small town be reduced to ashes, but large areas around it will also be affected."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Fang Yue frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "In this case, we must find the center of the formation and destroy it to completely stop the spread of the fire."

So, they moved more carefully in the flames, keeping an eye out for any clues that might be related to the center of the formation.

Near an ancient bell tower close to the center of the town, Fang Yue felt a powerful fluctuation of evil power.

"The center of the formation may be under the bell tower!" Fang Yue shouted and rushed towards the bell tower first. (End of this chapter)
