Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 189: The City Sealing Formation Reopens
Qinghe County Government Office.

Zhou Ping pinched Lu Chang's neck, and the magic seed in his hand transmitted some magic energy to Lu Chang.

"Who said I want to kill him? I think this boy has extraordinary talents and has a destiny with me, so I plan to let him become my disciple!" Zhou Ping mobilized his spiritual energy and said this loudly.

There is a secret technique in Buddhism called the Lion's Roar Technique. Zhou Ping also obtained this technique when he devoured the monk from Jinhua Temple.

However, this spell is not easy to practice, and its combat effect is not good either, so it is really useless.

Zhou Ping is now using the Lion Roar Technique, but he has only learned the basics.

The real Lion's Roar can kill people, Zhou Ping's Lion's Roar is just a little loud.

However, Zhou Ping did not intend to kill anyone. He used the Lion Roar Technique to transmit his voice only for the people in Qinghe County to hear.

In short, Zhou Ping used the Lion Roar Technique as a loudspeaker.

Sure enough, with Zhou Ping's loud voice, the news spread throughout Qinghe County.

Yan Yi was sulking, but then she heard Zhou Ping's voice.

"The Buddhist Lion's Roar skill, judging from the direction, it seems to be heading towards the county government office." Yan Yi stood up and took out his sword.

He Yunqing said: "It's better not to go, it would be better if you get into any trouble."

Yan Yi sneered: "I'm not feeling happy right now. If I run into trouble, it'll be great if I can kill someone to make myself happy."

After Yan Yi finished speaking, he rushed towards the county government office with a knife in hand.

Outside the inner courtyard, a gleam of light flashed in Yuan Gong's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

In the small courtyard.

Zhuque was lying on a rattan chair, with Uncle Lame next to him.

Uncle Lame has returned to his normal body, but his eyes are black and there are many black blood lines on his face.

Uncle Lame's remaining soul disappeared, he is dead, and he is now completely controlled by the demon.

Zhang Sheng knelt on the ground and talked about recent events.

"The county magistrate's son has recently been bullying men and women and killed a little girl, causing great resentment among the people," said Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng's predecessor was County Magistrate Mao, and also the former County Magistrate of Qinghe County. He had done such things as bullying men and women, but he had never done something as cruel as Lu Chang.

Zhang Sheng worked as a legal advisor to the county magistrate and knew a lot about Lu Chang's affairs.

Zhuque said calmly: "He is a good candidate. You can keep an eye on him. Who knows, you may be able to get him to join my Demon Sect."

Zhang Sheng said, "Yes."

As Zhou Ping's voice reached the courtyard, Zhuque looked in the direction of the government office: "Oh, someone is looking for trouble with the county magistrate. He is quite courageous. Zhang Sheng, go and see what's going on."

Zhang Sheng nodded and left the courtyard.

"Forget it, I'd better leave here. It really makes me sick that the county magistrate has been forced into a corner and opened the city seal formation." Zhuque stood up and then disappeared into the night.

The city-sealing formation can suppress the cultivation of people other than Confucianists, especially ghosts and monsters. And the higher the cultivation of the monster, the more obvious the suppression effect under the city-sealing formation.

Uncle Lame also disappeared with Suzaku.

"This sound seems to come from the direction of the county government office."

"Oh, is there anyone who can't help but take action against the county magistrate's son?"

"This guy is so stupid. The people of Qinghe County haven't even resisted yet. Does he want to be a hero? Isn't he afraid of being stabbed in the back by the people?"

The outsiders also heard Zhou Ping's voice. They talked a lot, but they all flew towards the government office. If there's something exciting, we have to watch it!

The cultivators from outside were all strong, and there were quite a few of them at the eighth and seventh ranks. They knew that there was something interesting to watch in the county government office, so they all rushed to this place.

Jiaofang Division.

Mingyue was originally playing the piano for a few foreign cultivators, but as the foreign cultivators left, she stopped playing.

"The county magistrate's son? Is someone trying to kill him?" Mingyue muttered to herself as she listened to Zhou Ping's voice. "The voice is strange. I don't think I've seen it before."

Mingyue has become a tourist attraction in Qinghe County because of her seventh-rank Confucian cultivation.

When foreign cultivators come to Qinghe County, they will definitely check in at Mingyue.

Mingyue looked at the moon in the sky and thought of Zhou Ping again.

"There are a lot of people who come to me these days, but they are all ugly and have no talent."

"Brother Zhou Ping, why don't you come to see your sister?"

The people of Qinghe County also heard the sound, but they couldn't tell where the sound came from, nor did they know what happened.

However, many people still thought of the long road first.

"Has a hero come to Qinghe County? I hope someone kills the demon boy Lu Chang."

"Did God send a hero to Qinghe County?"

There are many people who have this idea.

The people of Qinghe County were almost at the end of their patience with Lu Chang. They desperately hoped that God would take Lu Chang away.

Qinghe County, county government office.

County Magistrate Lu, Captain Leng, Wang Cheng and a dozen yamen runners surrounded Zhou Ping and Lu Chang.

Soon, all kinds of people gathered on the roof of the county government office to watch the fun.

"Hey, is it really some hero who is going to kill this demon boy?"

"I think it's probably this."

"This kid is unlucky. He will definitely be killed."

"But this fellow Taoist is also wrong. He actually dared to come to the county government to kill people. Doesn't he know that Confucianism has a city-sealing formation?"

Everyone was talking about it. They were happy to see Lu Chang being killed, but they were afraid that Zhou Ping would be trapped in the city seal after killing Lu Chang.

Under the city sealing formation, Zhou Ping's cultivation would definitely be suppressed, and he would have no choice but to surrender.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no cultivator dared to cause trouble in the county, and even if they wanted to kill people, they would not dare to do it in a big way. Because once the city sealing formation was activated, people could not escape, and their cultivation would also be suppressed.

Under the city-sealing formation, the Confucians' cultivation was enhanced, while the cultivation of others was weakened.

"My dear hero, please let my young master go." Wang Cheng began to negotiate. He was the head of the police, so he naturally had to speak for the county magistrate.

Zhou Ping shook his head: "I'm not a hero, I'm from the Demon Cult."

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, a demonic aura suddenly rose from his body. The demonic aura filled the air, and Zhou Ping looked like a demon or monster.

Zhou Ping let the demon seed release its demonic energy because he wanted to conceal his identity.

"Demon Cult?!"

"The people of the Demon Cult actually want to kill this demon child."

"Hey, the world has really changed."

"The county magistrate's son is doing nothing, but the people of the Demon Cult are trying to be chivalrous and righteous."

Yan Yi and the outsiders were very surprised. They didn't expect that he was a member of the Demon Sect. They also recognized Zhou Ping's identity because the demonic energy on Zhou Ping was indeed very strong.

When Magistrate Lu saw that the visitor was from the Demon Cult, he immediately said, "You are so bold! You dare to come to the county government and make trouble."

If it were anyone else, County Magistrate Lu would not have the confidence.

But County Magistrate Lu still had some confidence against the people of the Demon Cult. Under the city closure formation, the Demon Cult's cultivation was suppressed even more severely.

Once the demon cultivator is suppressed by the Fengcheng formation, he will be like a beast trapped in a cage.

Zhou Ping chuckled and said, "Sir, I am not here to act wildly. Didn't I say it? This boy and I have a destiny. I plan to accept him as my disciple." After Zhou Ping finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"I thought a great hero would come from somewhere to rid the people of harm and violence."

"After all this time, the little fly attracted the people from the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult is here to recruit our brothers."

The cultivators from outside were talking about this. This scene really shocked everyone.

Yan Yi clenched her fists and said, "If Lu Chang, this demon boy, joins the Demon Sect, I don't know how many people he will harm in the future. We can't let him leave here."

County Magistrate Lu was also stunned. What a strange move! Shouldn't this be a scene of a knight killing someone?
Captain Leng was slightly startled, and he looked carefully at the black aura on Zhou Ping's body.

Captain Leng has already joined the Demonic Cult. He knows that the demonic energy in Zhou Ping is very pure, very similar to the demonic energy in Suzaku.

"What's going on? Could it be Lord Suzaku's men?" Captain Leng couldn't guess Zhou Ping's background.

There are only a few disciples of the Demon Cult in Qinghe County.

Captain Leng guessed that Zhou Ping was a disciple of a cult from another place.

"You remnant of the evil cult, you said you would accept my son as your disciple? We are a family of scholars. Do you think my son would be willing to follow you?" County Magistrate Lu shouted.

Zhou Ping said, "You are from a scholarly family, so you won't follow me?"

"Master Lu, your personality is really suitable for the Demon Cult. Once you join the Demon Cult, I will give you a demon seed, which will greatly increase your strength."

"Are you happy bullying men and women?"

"You don't study, you don't get into the rank, but now that you have the power, you can sleep with any woman you want."

Zhou Ping let go of Lu Chang. Lu Chang had a faint black aura lingering from his body and a look of madness on his face.

After what happened to Uncle Lame, Zhou Ping understood that the demon seed could lure out the darkness in people's hearts and magnify it.

Lu Chang was not a good person to begin with, and as the evil energy entered his body, the evil thoughts in his heart instantly magnified.

"I want to go with you. I want to improve my strength."

"I don't want to study. It's too painful."

"I want to improve my strength. Once I improve my strength, I can kill anyone I don't like and sleep with any girl I like."

"Mr. Yuan's daughter is so sexy. I want to sleep with a girl like her. I like her wailing in pain under me. I like to see her despair from life to death."

Lu Chang laughed wildly, and at the same time said to the county magistrate Lu: "Dad, your position is too low, I can only be arrogant in Qinghe County, but I joined the Demon Sect, I can go to a bigger place, even to Qianzhou City."

County Magistrate Lu's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that Chief Lu would say such a thing.

County Magistrate Lu knew that Lu Chang was speaking from his heart, but with so many people here, how could he speak from his heart?

More importantly, Lu Chang personally admitted that he had tortured and killed Yuan Gong’s daughter.

County Magistrate Lu said anxiously, "Go, I will go, kill this evil cult member for me, he has bewitched my good son."

Captain Leng, Wang Cheng, and several tenth-rank yamen runners began to attack Zhou Ping.

Captain Leng is of the eighth rank, and the other warriors are of the tenth rank.

A melee is inevitable.

However, Zhou Ping dragged Lu Chang and walked back and forth among several yamen runners as if they were strolling in a garden.

In just a short while, Captain Leng, Wang Cheng and several tenth-rank captains were knocked to the ground by Zhou Ping.

"A bunch of trash." Zhou Ping shook his head and said with a little arrogance.

Captain Leng, Wang Cheng and several yamen runners were angry but they didn't say anything.

"This person is at least a seventh-grade cultivator!"

"Seventh rank, I think it could be sixth rank. Didn't you see how he easily dealt with several people by himself? And he hasn't even used his full strength yet!"

"Yes, I also think that his cultivation is at least above the sixth rank."

The cultivators from outside were talking about it, and they were guessing Zhou Ping's cultivation level.

Zhou Ping dealt with the yamen runners too easily, so he did not show his true strength, and everyone was unable to judge his level of cultivation.

"He is a sixth-rank Demon Cult expert. If you kill him, the government will reward you with over a thousand taels. There are more than a dozen of us here, some of the eighth and seventh ranks. Why don't we kill him together?"

An outsider cultivator suggested this. He was an eighth-grade cultivator, and his strength was not bad.

However, just as he finished speaking, he felt as if he was grabbed by a giant beast, and then he fell from the roof to the ground.

"I have no grudges against you all. This is a warning to anyone who wants to attack me. I will kill them directly next time." Zhou Ping said coldly.

The face of the outsider cultivator who wanted to attack Zhou Ping changed drastically. He hurriedly said, "Daoyou, I just said it casually. I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die."

He could feel that Zhou Ping was very powerful. He just whispered a word, but the other party not only heard it, but also used the object control technique to control his body.

If Zhou Ping had the intention to kill, he would have died long ago.

Seeing how powerful Zhou Ping was, other foreign cultivators gave up the idea of ​​attacking him.

Everyone dares to fight the Demon Cult, and decent people have the obligation to kill him, and the government will pay a large sum of money to take the lives of the Demon Cult members.

The government's asking price for a sixth-rank demon cult practitioner is one thousand taels!

County Magistrate Lu's face darkened. He didn't expect that Captain Leng and Wang Cheng were both unable to defeat each other. Not only could they not defeat him, but they were defeated so easily.

Zhou Ping's cultivation level is that of a seventh-grade cultivator, but his true strength is comparable to that of a sixth-grade cultivator. In addition, Zhou Ping has an indestructible body that can withstand attacks, and his magical speed has been improved to a small extent, allowing him to move at an extremely fast speed.

Therefore, an ordinary seventh-grade cultivator is no match for Zhou Ping.

County Magistrate Lu originally wanted to ask outside cultivators to help him, but after seeing Zhou Ping's methods, he gave up the idea.

“You are indeed powerful, you cult member, but this is the Great Wei, and especially the county town of the Great Wei. Even a first-rank demon king would not dare to kill people in a public manner in the county town.” County Magistrate Lu roared, and then took out the official seal on his body.

Then, with County Magistrate Lu as the center, a spherical light emanated from his body and quickly spread out.

In Qinghe County, the Confucian city blockade was once again prevalent.

The city sealing formation must be opened by a Confucian. The power of the formation is not only spiritual energy, but also the luck and incense of the people of the county.

Therefore, even a first-rank demon king would not dare to seal the city.

Under the city seal formation, the power of the Demon Lord will also be weakened.

County Magistrate Lu directly activated the city sealing formation. He wanted to use the formation to suppress Zhou Ping's cultivation.

"The city sealing formation has been activated, and my cultivation has been suppressed to the ninth level."

"Then you are better than me. I have reached the tenth level."

"My cultivation level is not even at the tenth level."

The outsiders shouted. Many of them knew how powerful the city sealing formation was, but many had never experienced it.

Seeing that his cultivation was suppressed so severely at this moment, he became more awed by the city-sealing formation.

Yan Yi felt her own cultivation level, which was barely at the tenth level. "As expected of this city-sealing formation, it actually caused my cultivation level to drop by two levels. It seems that this demon cult member is in great danger."

Not only Yan Yi thought so, but the foreign cultivators also thought so.

"The city-sealing formation has suppressed our cultivation to the tenth rank. The suppression is even more severe for the Demon Cult. I'm afraid that the people of this Demon Cult are not even at the tenth rank."

"Yes, within the city sealing formation, the cultivation of the Confucianists has not decreased but increased, while the cultivation of other practitioners has decreased, and the cultivation of demons and monsters has been suppressed even more severely."

"I think the cultivation level of this demon sect member is less than tenth level."

"This person will not be able to escape death!"
