Chapter 99 [098] Creating a Monster! ! (Two-in-one subscription required)
Woo~
The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, bringing a gust of cool breeze that blew on the faces and bodies of Gu Zheng and his group.

"Enter the city!"

Gu Zheng waved his hand, urged his mount forward, and slowly entered the city.

Behind him, Tao Liu, Zhang Ning, An Xiaoxue, and three hundred strong men followed in an orderly manner.

After the team passed through the city gate and entered the city, there was another "woosh" sound, and the heavy city gate was pushed tightly closed.

Fat Tiger, who was squatting on Gu Zheng's shoulder, heard the sound, turned his head to look at the city gate, curiosity showing in his blue eyes.

The tail swung, and suddenly it flashed and disappeared.

Gu Zheng noticed it, but ignored it.

He led the team through the long street and, under the guidance of two constables, entered the county government compound.

On the road, all the shops on both sides had their doors closed. There was no one in sight and no sound of talking.

Only the cries of children and the coughs of old people in the distance could be heard through the night wind.

"I am the magistrate of Lesheng County, Zhao Fang, and I am here to see you, Your Excellency!"

Zhao Fang wiped the sweat off his face and ran out in his official uniform. He faced Gu Zheng, bowed and saluted, and shouted, "My lords, please come in. I have prepared a banquet for you, and other heroes have prepared the food in the backyard. Let's go and eat it while it's hot."

"Excuse me, Lord Zhao."

Gu Zheng dismounted, bowed and thanked him, "No need for the banquet, we all have dry food with us."

"what?"

Zhao Fang was stunned, sweat dripping down his pale face, his calves trembling, and he said in a trembling voice, "But...but, the wine and food are ready, if we don't eat...it will be a waste if we don't eat."

"Yes, Gutou, it's shameful to waste." Tao Liu said with a smile, "It's hard to refuse County Magistrate Zhao's kindness. If we don't go, won't he be suspicious? Look at him, he's so nervous that he's sweating profusely."

Hearing this, Zhao Fang laughed dryly, "No... I dare not, how dare I, hehe~"

My heart was beating so fast it seemed like it was going to jump out of my throat.

"There's no need to be nervous, County Magistrate Zhao."

Gu Zheng glanced at Zhao Fang and said softly, "We did bring some dry food with us, but since County Magistrate Zhao has already prepared the feast, we should obey your orders. We are sorry to bother you."

"But just this once. Remember not to do it next time."

"...Understood, understood." Zhao Fang wiped the sweat off his face and stretched out his hand, saying, "My lords, please follow me. Other heroes, go over there. Captain Wu, take the heroes to the backyard!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A man in his forties with a full beard but a simple and honest face, wearing a constable's uniform and with a smile on his face, led a group of strong men to the backyard.

Gu Zheng, An Xiaoxue, Tao Liu, and Zhang Ning followed Zhao Fang into the main hall.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Fang immediately had people bring steaming hot meals and spread them across the table.

Since he had agreed, Gu Zheng was no longer polite and was the first to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and he skipped the drinks.

The others followed suit and started eating, with Zhao Fang accompanying them.

Halfway through his meal, Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks and asked quietly, "County Magistrate Zhao, what is the situation in Le Sheng like? Has the outside of the city become a world of demons?"

"Yes...yes."

Zhao Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuttered, "Except…Except the county town, almost all the villages and towns outside are occupied by demons…demons. We…we also had an operation to go out of the city to eliminate demons, it was…it was Captain Yang from the City Defense Department. He led people and tried to fight their way out, but…in the end, they all…died…died."

"County Magistrate Zhao, don't be nervous. We don't eat humans." Zhang Ning saw sweat on his face after hearing what he said. He chuckled and said, "We are here to kill the demons. You just need to tell us where the demons are. Of course, it's known information."

"Haha...haha, this is an old problem of mine."

Zhao Fang smiled apologetically, "I sweat when I'm nervous, and my heart beats fast. Don't worry, sir. We have been paying attention to the movements of the demons. Because those demons will gather under the city wall every two days and roar for half a day."

"There are a lot of demons?" Tao Liu frowned. "Before, the soldiers of the City Defense Department also said that demons were attacking the city. Why are there so many demons here? There are only so many in Le Sheng. Aren't there more in Zhongxi County and Shuanghe County behind? Hasn't Xiongying County, the easternmost, already been completely occupied?"

"This...this...I...I don't know either." Zhao Fang was sweating profusely and couldn't wipe it off.

"Can you be more tactful?" An Xiaoxue glared at Tao Liu, comforted Zhao Fang, and said softly, "County Magistrate Zhao, don't be nervous. We have no ill intentions. This guy has always been like this. He is a bit talkative, but he is a very good person."

"No...it's okay."

Zhao Fang forced a smile, glanced at Gu Zheng from the corner of his eye, and said nervously, "As for the situation in other counties, I really don't know. As for the demons in Le Sheng, they are mainly concentrated in the east. According to the pattern in recent times, around noon tomorrow, they should come out of the mountains and forests and ruins and gather outside the east city gate."

"Yes... yes, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"My last name is Chen, Chen Qi." Gu Zheng said calmly, "This is Xie Xiaoyue."

Gu Zheng pointed at An Xiaoxue.

Under the latter's strange gaze, he pointed at Zhang Ning and introduced, "This is Ning Dahu."

"This is Liu Debiao." Finally, he pointed at Tao Liu.

"It turns out to be Master Chen, Master Xie, Master Ning, and Master Liu!"

Zhao Fang stood up, facing the four people, and saluted one after another, "It's great that Lesheng County has four adults!"

"There's no need to be so polite, County Magistrate Zhao. We are just doing our duty." Zhang Ning calmly took over the conversation, "Tomorrow at noon, the demons will gather outside the East City Gate. We can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, the demon came to our doorstep, saving us the trouble of searching for it." Tao Liu coughed and agreed.

"Then we need to conserve our energy and have a good rest tonight." An Xiaoxue smiled.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He picked up a bowl of soup and sipped it slowly.

A figure suddenly emerged from the shadows behind him, quickly rushed to the corner, left the main hall, and flew towards the backyard.

"Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to you four adults!"

Zhao Fang's face was full of gratitude and he bowed deeply.

……

He ate and drank for a while longer.

Gu Zheng and his four companions left the table and, under the guidance of Zhao Fang, moved into a single room.

The three hundred strong men also moved into a courtyard not far from the county government office in batches.

The night deepened and soon reached midnight.

Zhang Ning, An Xiaoxue, and Tao Liu, as if they had discussed it beforehand, went out quietly and came to Gu Zheng's room.

"Boss Gu, what's going on?" Tao Liu lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong with Zhao Fang?"

"There is definitely something wrong." Zhang Ning said, but he also lowered his voice, "He is too nervous! He has been sweating and his heart has been pounding since we met. This behavior cannot be explained away by some old problem."

"Could it be that he has colluded with demons?" An Xiaoxue's eyes flickered. "Zhao has colluded with demons and is afraid that we will find out, so he has been so nervous?"

After a pause, he continued, "Speaking of which, the demons in Lesheng County are indeed a bit strange. The demons that rushed out on our way here were all ugly, but none of them were familiar. Could it be that these demons are newly born in the demon world?"

"Yes." Tao Liu nodded. "I basically recognize most of the monsters, whether they are intelligent monsters or scattered monsters below, but I can't recognize any of the ones I saw on the way here."

“No need to guess.”

Gu Zheng said calmly, "We'll know the details when we ask Zhao Fang himself."

"what?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ning was startled, "Gu Tou, do you need me to capture him and interrogate him?"

"Need not."

Gu Zheng stood up and said calmly, "Let's see who he's going to meet first."

Um? ?

……

……

Outside the county government office.

Zhao Fang stood in the corner with a pale face, asking the bearded Captain Wu, "Have you found out? The names of these four people are Chen Qi, Xie Xiaoyue, Ning Dahu, and Liu Debiao?"

"Ask clearly."

Captain Wu whispered, "I found four strong men and asked them questions separately. They all matched. The leader is Captain Chen Qi, and the other three are indeed named Xie Xiaoyue, Ning Dahu, and Liu Debiao."

"very good."

Zhao Fang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "According to the plan, demons will gather outside the East City Gate at noon tomorrow. When the time comes, you must cooperate with your men."

"understand!"

Captain Wu also gritted his teeth and said firmly.

However, when he lowered his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Okay. I'll go out now, you keep an eye on them."

Zhao Fang reached out and patted Constable Wu on the shoulder, "Remember, having come this far, there is no turning back."

"Don't worry, sir. I understand!" Captain Wu nodded vigorously.

"Well. Go ahead." Zhao Fang raised his hand.

Captain Wu clasped his fists, bowed, and walked away.

Zhao Fang stood still and watched Captain Wu go away. After he disappeared for a long time, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and walked towards the street corner.

He was completely unaware that a figure blending into the darkness was following closely.

……

Wu Chunlin returned to the county government office and sat in the dark office with his eyes wide open. He waited for a while and let out a long sigh.

Then, he gently opened the door, looked left and right, made sure there was no one there, and rushed out.

Along the way, he was dodging and ducking, holding his breath, and quickly approaching the room where Gu Zheng lived.

When he arrived outside the room, he took another deep breath, then raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who's out there?"

Wu Chunlin's body stiffened and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

But the next moment, he gritted his teeth, pushed the door open, and stepped in.

After entering, he quickly closed the door.

When I turned around, I found four figures standing in the dim room.

"Chen Qi", "Xie Xiaoyue", "Ning Dahu" and "Liu Debiao" are all here!

All four of them turned around, staring at him without blinking, their eyes seemingly glowing in the darkness.

"..."

Plop~!

Wu Chunlin was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and shouted, "Please spare my life, please spare my life, my lords, I was forced to do this!"

Zhang Ning, Tao Liu, and An Xiaoxue looked at each other blankly.

But soon, everyone recovered.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhang Ning coughed lightly and asked, "What the hell are you doing, County Magistrate Zhao?"

"They colluded with the demons!"

Wu Chunlin gritted his teeth and whispered, "Those monsters outside the city were all created by them. I don't know exactly where they came from, but I only know that they can control the monsters."

"Tomorrow at noon, the demons will gather outside the East City Gate. This is their foreshadowing. Their goal is to trap the four adults in an encirclement and harm them."

"The last few Demon Slayers who came here were killed by the demons controlled by them without knowing it."

"Ha, they really colluded with demons?" An Xiaoxue laughed softly, "What demons did they colluded with?"

“That’s not very clear.”

Wu Chunlin shook his head, "I am only responsible for the actions in the city. As for those outside the city, we will follow the plan. For example, at noon tomorrow, I will lead people to rush into the periphery of the demon army, hack and kill a few times, and then escape, leaving the others behind, and fall into the demon circle. I will lead you over and be surrounded."

"They have other people to take charge of the follow-up."

"They?" Zhang Ning grasped the key point, "Besides Zhao Fang, who else?"

"Yu Chengjun!"

Wu Chunlin said quickly, "There is also Yu Chengjun! On the surface, Yu Chengjun is a wealthy man in the city, but secretly he is the owner of a martial arts sect, Baihua Tower, and a master of the Grandmaster level. Of course, he was a Grandmaster in the past, and now he should have broken through to the Grandmaster level."

"Baihualou? Baihualou, a brothel and gambling house?" Tao Liu became interested after hearing this. "The owner of Baihualou is actually from Lesheng County? And he's a wealthy local. Tsk tsk, this is really unexpected."

"Is that the point?"

An Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him. "Shouldn't the point be that the owner of Baihua Tower, Yu Chengjun, had the guts to attack us?"

"Yes, what does he rely on?" Zhang Ning agreed.

"I don't know about that."

Wu Chunlin was embarrassed. "I only know that there are people behind Yu Chengjun. They are closely connected and control the entire Wulong Mansion."

"Controlling the entire mansion?" Tao Liu was shocked.

An Xiaoxue couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Zhang Ning murmured, and was about to continue asking questions when Gu Zheng suddenly spoke up, "What's the point of Zhao Fang asking our names?"

"……right!"

Zhang Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "He wants our names. What does he want to do?"

"……do not know."

Wu Chunlin was embarrassed again. Seeing Tao Liu staring, he hurriedly continued, "But I guess it has something to do with a treasure!"

"Treasure?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Yu Chengjun has a strange treasure in his hand."

Wu Chunlin swallowed and explained, "I have never seen that treasure, I have only heard of it, but its power is terrifying. As long as you shout a name at someone, that person will stop moving and fall down!"

"What kind of strange thing is so powerful?" Tao Liu stared.

"It's more than just amazing. Whoever you call will die!" An Xiaoxue looked nervous.

"Fortunately Gutou... ahem~"

Zhang Ning coughed, looked at Gu Zheng, laughed dryly twice, and stopped talking.

"A shout and the person falls down?"

Gu Zheng was a little surprised. "Don't you need someone to respond? Just call out their name, that's all?"

"This one……"

Wu Chunlin scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said awkwardly, "It seems that I need to respond."

"... Damn it, if you don't explain clearly, someone will die!" Tao Liu cursed angrily.

"I'm not..."

"Okay." Gu Zheng interrupted, "If you want to know the details, it's better to ask Yu Chengjun in person."

"Let's go and meet the owner of Baihua Tower!"

Um? ?

Go meet Yu Chengjun?

Tao Liu, Zhang Ning, and An Xiaoxue were stunned at first, then nodded one after another.

"That's right. No matter how much you guess here, it's better to ask in person." Zhang Ning agreed.

"what?"

Wu Chunlin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly called out, "Um, Master Ning, Master Chen, I don't know where Yu Chengjun is. After the demon appeared, Yu Chengjun disappeared, and the Yu family compound was also sealed off."

"The Yu family compound is in the south of the county town, close to the center, right?" Gu Zheng asked calmly.

"Yes... yes." Wu Chunlin was confused. "Yu Chengjun is staying in the courtyard next to him."

Gu Zheng answered while walking slowly outside, "Tao Liu, you stay here and keep an eye on the situation. Captain Wu, you also stay here and wait for the situation. If you surrender in time tonight and turn from evil to good, I can't guarantee more, but it will be no problem for your family to survive afterwards."

"Thank you very much, Master Chen!"

Wu Chunlin's body trembled, his voice choked, and he prostrated himself on the ground.

"An Xiaoxue, Zhang Ning, follow me."

Gu Zheng waved his hand, opened the door first and walked out.

He came out of the house, tiptoed, jumped into the air, stepped on the courtyard wall, climbed up to the roof, and flew towards the south of the city.

An Xiaoxue and Zhang Ning hurriedly followed behind.

……

……

South of the city.

The manor next to the Yu family compound.

"Ask clearly."

Zhao Fang wiped the sweat off his face and said in a low voice, "The leading centurion is called Chen Qi, and the other three are the female named Xie Xiaoyue, the tall and thin male named Ning Dahu, and the last male named Liu Debiao."

"Are you sure?" Yu Chengjun looked solemn.

"Sure!"

Zhao Fang nodded vigorously. "I asked Wu Chunlin to get information from the following strongmen one by one. All the four names matched."

"very good."

Hearing this, Yu Chengjun clapped his hands, stood up, and said excitedly, "Knowing the name is half the battle. Next, it depends on whether Chen Qi and Chen Baihu can withstand the transformation of the treasure."

"What treasure? Can you let me take a look first?"

Gu Zheng's calm voice came from outside the house.

As the voice sounded, three people descended from the roof one after another and walked slowly into the hall with the door wide open and bright candlelight.

puff~
Before Yu Chengjun could react, Zhao Fang knelt down first and collapsed on the ground. Sweat dripped down his face. He murmured and wailed, "No... It's none of my business... I... I was forced to do it! Ah~~!"

The second sound was prolonged and particularly loud in the middle of the night.

Hearing the shouting, Yu Chengjun suddenly turned around and rushed to the corner.

In mid-air, the man took out a pocket-sized red gourd as big as a child's palm from his pocket. When he landed on the ground, he faced Gu Zheng with the mouth of the gourd facing outwards and shouted loudly, "Chen Qi! You are dead..."

Buzz~!

The space shook and ripples appeared.

Gu Zheng used his magical powers to imprison Yu Chengjun from a distance. He also snatched the red pocket gourd from his hand and looked at it.

"Is this evil thing that calls out a person's name, and if the person answers, he or she will fall down?"

Yu Chengjun did not respond.

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly woke up and shouted sharply, "Dong Xuan'er, Liu Ming, Lin Lang! Kill the three of them who are standing!"

Call ~
"Roar!"

"Hi~!"

A fishy wind suddenly arose, and with a suppressed growl like the roar of a wild beast, three bloated and ugly figures rushed out from the back of the hall.

At a very fast speed, they rushed towards Gu Zheng, An Xiaoxue and Zhang Ning in three directions.

"demon!?"

An Xiaoxue exclaimed, and without slowing down, she drew her sword and rushed towards the fat and greasy demon covered in smelly tumors that was rushing towards her.

Zhang Ning did the same, he shouted coldly and faced the ferocious demon covered with dark green spikes.

Tsk~tsk~
Boom!

The two men fought with the demon.

Gu Zheng did not take any action. He simply gathered the pressure of his super physical realm and sent it down onto the tall demon that pounced on him, its skin petrified.

Boom~!

Before the tall demon could get close to Gu Zheng, he was suppressed and smashed to the ground. His body twisted and he let out an unconscious roar from his throat, but he couldn't break free.

Yu Chengjun was dumbfounded.

Zhao Fang was also stunned.

When Gu Zheng came in, Zhao Fang was frightened out of his wits.

Yu Chengjun's reaction exceeded his previous limits.

But the gap between the two sides was so big that Gu Zheng saw everything he did.

At this moment, Yu Chengjun finally realized the power of the super physical realm.

However, in the moment of shock, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Zhao Fang with red eyes, and shouted, "His name is not Chen Qi! You useless thing, you don't even know that you have been seen through, fooled, and deceived! Trash! Garbage! I should have killed you in the first place, killed you!!"

"No... not Chen Qi?"

Zhao Fang's body trembled when he was yelled at, and he said stupidly, "If not Chen Qi, what should I call him? If not Chen Qi, what should I call him?"

Gu Zheng ignored the two of them, using his force to suppress the demon, his brows furrowed.

Chen Qi, Xie Xiaoyue, Ning Dahu and Liu Debiao, these four names were meant to fool Zhao Fang.

County Magistrate Zhao asked Wu Chunlin to go to the backyard to find the strong man to talk to him, and Gu Zheng also knew about it.

He sent out a figure named "Gu Zheng" to hide in the corner. When Wu Chunlin was trying to get information from the warriors, he transmitted a message through the air to the warriors being questioned, asking them to cooperate and give fake names.

Gu Zheng learned this little trick from Meng Taiqi.

The same is true when using supernatural powers to imprison Yu Chengjun.

It's not really a skill.

At this moment, Zhao Fang was falling into self-doubt due to the successive blows, but Yu Chengjun was unwilling and roaring angrily.

What Gu Zheng was concerned about were the three names that Yu Chengjun had just called out.

"Dong Xuan'er, Liu Ming, Lin Lang?"

"This is a human name. You gave the three-headed demon a human name?"

"Or are these three demons actually human beings?!"

Poof~!

scoff!

Almost at the moment when Gu Zheng finished speaking, An Xiaoxue and Zhang Ning killed the demons one after another and chopped off their heads.

After hearing Gu Zheng's words, both of them were shocked, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"Gu...Gu Tou, are you kidding?" Zhang Ning swallowed.

An Xiaoxue's hands trembled, her face turned pale, and she stammered, "How can a human... a human turn... into a demon?"

This is ridiculous!
"Is this a joke or not, Master Yuda, you should know, right?" Gu Zheng's face was calm, but his heart was also surging with waves, but he just suppressed it forcefully.

"Hahaha!"

Yu Chengjun laughed crazily, knowing that the situation was hopeless, and gave up everything. He looked at Gu Zheng and shouted morbidly, "As expected of a captain, you are right, absolutely right! The three of them were originally human, and I turned them into monsters through the 'Monster Gourd'!"

"Do you know who they were before? The Demon Suppression Guards!"

"You heard it right, they are the same as you, the Demon Suppression Guards of the Demon Slayer Division!"

"The two dead ones are Liu Ming and Dong Xuan'er, and the one who is still alive is Lin Lang!"

"Is it a surprise? Is it a surprise!?"

boom!
Zhang Ning rushed over and kicked Yu Chengjun in the chest. With a "crack", his ribs were broken and he rolled on the ground three times.

Without waiting for him to get up, Zhang Ning approached him again, kicking and cursing, "Surprise your mother! You beast, scum, lunatic!!"

"Hahaha~!"

Yu Chengjun ignored the kicks and rolled around with a sick laugh, "In this world, who is not a madman if they want to live? Do you think you are noble? When the first batch of demon-suppressing guards came, didn't they collect a large sum of money and divide it among the group?"

"Be tough!"

Zhang Ning was furious and kicked Yu Chengjun's leg and arm twice with "crack, crack".

"This is unreasonable and unrealistic." An Xiaoxue still couldn't accept it and murmured.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, only a little golden light flashed in his eyes.

Fiery eyes!

Under the magical gaze, the tall demon with petrified skin gradually shed its demon shell and revealed its true form in Gu Zheng's eyes.

A tough-looking and handsome man in his thirties.

Lin Lang!

Reveal the original form.

This tall monster is truly a human...transformed into a monster.

Turning sideways, Gu Zheng looked at "Dong Xuaner" and "Liu Ming".

Seeing their true forms, they are both human!

"A demon-making gourd?"

Maintaining his piercing eyes, Gu Zheng looked at the pocket-sized red gourd in his hand. Through the surface, he saw a ball of strange energy wrapped in a powerful aura.

"If you point it at a person and shout out their name, and they respond, they will turn into a demon?"

Gu Zheng waved his hand, signaling Zhang Ning to stop.

“Ha~haha!”

Yu Chengjun lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and smiled morbidly, "Chen Qi... I'll just call you Chen Qi for now. If it weren't for that loser Zhao Fang who couldn't even get your real name, when I called you just now, you would have been frozen for at least a moment!"

"This moment is enough for me to attack or escape."

"If you agree, the gourd will emit a transforming aura that will cover you and turn you into a demon."

"The transformation qi is invisible and colorless, silent and breathless, invisible to the naked eye. It can only be felt when holding the gourd in your hand."

"And once the transformation is complete and you become a demon, you will have to obey my orders and be under my control!"

"A demon servant in the super-physical realm, if this succeeds, I will be the King of Wulong! Hahahaha!"

Yu Chengjun laughed out loud.

"Bah~"

Zhang Ning spat, "You still want to be king? It's impossible in your next life!"

"Tell me, were those bloated and ugly monsters outside the city once people, civilians?"

"It was you who turned them into monsters!?"

"What do you think? Hahaha..." Yu Chengjun looked at Zhang Ning sarcastically and continued to laugh wildly.

"Scumbag!"

Zhang Ning's eyes suddenly turned red, and he kicked again, growling, "You are a scum, a beast... worse than a beast!"

"Hahaha!" Yu Chengjun rolled on the ground, laughing mockingly.

"Don't kill him yet."

An Xiaoxue, whose eyes were also red, came to her senses from her shock and anger, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Ning, questioning Yu Chengjun, "Since you can turn people into monsters, can you turn them back into humans? You must have a way to turn them back into humans, right?"

"Hahahaha... This is a 'monster-creating gourd', not a 'human-creating gourd'! Do you think it can be changed back? Haha!" Yu Chengjun laughed morbidly, his face full of contempt.

“How many gourds like this are there?”

Gu Zheng took a deep breath and whispered, "Everyone who conspired with you has a gourd, right? Who are they? And who gave you the 'demon-making gourd'?"

"..." Yu Chengjun's laughter paused.

"Say!"

Zhang Ning's eyes lit up and he growled, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"...I don't know what you are talking about." Yu Chengjun returned to his morbid madness, "I picked up the 'Demon-Creating Gourd'. The people outside are all demons I turned into. I want to be the king of Wulong, and no one can order me around! If you want to kill, just kill! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"alright."

Gu Zheng took the gourd and walked out the door.

"Zhang Ning, he's yours."

When passing by "Lin Lang", he first shattered the opponent's heart meridian with a palm, then controlled the fire to ignite the body. By the way, he also ignited the bodies of "Dong Xuaner" and "Liu Ming", giving them relief.

"understand!"

Zhang Ning grinned grimly, grabbed Yu Chengjun and dragged him to the side hall.

"What do you want to do? Kill me, kill me quickly!" Yu Chengjun screamed madly, his eyes flickering.

Zhang Ning ignored him, picked him up with one hand and walked into the side hall.

"Zhao Da County Magistrate, you should come out too."

Seeing this, An Xiaoxue picked up Zhao Fang, who was lying limp on the ground, and followed Gu Zheng outside.

The whole manor was shouting for a long time, but no one came.

Apparently, Yu Chengjun had driven away everyone else.

"what!!"

A shrill scream suddenly sounded from the side hall, echoing through the night.

When Zhao Fang heard this, his trouser legs immediately became wet. He knelt on the ground and told him everything he knew in a trembling voice, speaking incoherently.

It is basically the same as what Yu Chengjun revealed.

The owner of Baihua Tower obtained an evil object that could turn people into monsters, and then he kept turning people outside the city into monsters and putting them under his control.

Anyone who disobeys him or dares to resist will be killed or turned into demons.

When the Demon-Slaying Bureau's Demon-Suppressing Guards arrived, he, the county magistrate, first received them. He gave them gifts, money, and women to get their real names out, and then transformed them into demons and became powerful slaves in Yu Chengjun's hands.

As for where the "Demon-Creating Gourd" came from, Zhao Fang didn't know. Yu Chengjun had never revealed it and was very tight-lipped. Even if Zhao Fang tried to find out in a roundabout way, he couldn't get any answer.

He only knew that every county in Wulong Prefecture had been controlled by someone.

Among those demons roaming around, only a few escaped from the Yingchou Mountains, and the others were transformed from ordinary people through the "Demon-Making Gourd".

No wonder these demons were killed and there were no demon points.

A human turned into a demon, where did the demonic element come from?
"madman!"

After hearing this, An Xiaoxue's body trembled slightly. "What do Yu Chengjun and his accomplices want to do? And what is the mastermind behind giving them the 'Demon Gourd'? What is his purpose in turning so many people into demons?"

"Not everyone can get hold of such an evil object as the 'Demon-Creating Gourd'." Gu Zheng said softly.

"Ordinary people really can't afford it." An Xiaoxue took a deep breath and nodded. "Gutou, what do you think? Could it be that some noble family did it? This noble family has a grudge against the imperial court. In order to take revenge, they plunged Wulong Mansion into chaos, and then the impact spread..."

"and many more!"

Suddenly, An Xiaoxue thought of a terrible guess and her voice began to tremble.

"The mastermind behind this, isn't he planning to create a demon army and snowball all the way to the state...state capital?"
