Chapter 455 True and False Demon Seed
This day.

Bai Yuan sat cross-legged in the room, holding the imperial seal in his hand.

Ever since he obtained the imperial seal, he has been studying how to integrate the last part of the shrine into the shrine.

But no matter how he tried, it was fruitless in the end.

It is really unpleasant to get a treasure but not be able to open it.

Bai Yuan could only comfort himself: "Maybe the opportunity has not come yet, or maybe my current strength is not enough. When the time is right, I will know it naturally."

He had just put away the imperial seal.

at this time--

Yang Fangyu's voice rang out from outside the door: "A Yuan, something is happening in Beiyuan."

When he heard it was Beiyuan, Bai Yuan stood up immediately.

Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Bai Yuan.

Seeing Yang Fangyu frowning, Bai Yuan asked, "Fangyu, what happened?"

"There has been some unrest in Beiyuan recently. The Cao Gang's caravan was attacked by a powerful demon from the Demon Sect."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan's expression turned solemn.

The caravan of the Cao Gang is led by the bearded Bone Order, and almost no one in Beiyuan dares to provoke them, except the Demon Sect.

But ever since Mr. Yuan ascended to heaven alone, the Demon Sect has been silent.

Unexpectedly, he started to move again.

He smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Do you know the reason?"

Yang Fangyu shook his head: "I don't know yet. I have sent people to Beiyuan to inquire. There should be results soon."

"Ah."

Another five days passed.

Beiyuan finally brought back news.

A young man dressed as a businessman knelt in front of Bai Yuan: "Master Bai."

Bai Yuan said, "What news did you get in Beiyuan?"

Nowadays, the connection between the Northern Border and Northern Plains is becoming closer and closer. In addition to the caravans of the Cao Gang, the Northern Border will also have its own caravans going to Northern Plains to trade with the barbarians.

Yang Fangyu took the opportunity to plant a number of informants.

This young man is one of them.

The young man looked at Bai Yuan respectfully and said, "Sir, the people who attacked the caravan are from the Demon Sect, but they have been using the name of the Demon Sect's Holy Son."

Yang Fangyu couldn't help but frown.

"The Holy Son of the Demon Sect?"

The Demon Sect had been fighting with Xuan Yang for many years. He thought he had some understanding of the Demon Sect, but he had never heard that the Demon Sect had a Holy Son.

Bai Yuan said calmly: "Go on."

"I also heard from some barbarians that the Holy Son has been born and wants to unify the Demon Sect and restore its former glory."

Hearing the word "born".

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu looked at each other.

Yang Fangyu uttered two words uncertainly: "Demon seed?"

That so-called Holy Son of the Demon Sect was very similar to the demon that had wreaked havoc in Lingzhou before.

Bai Yuan's heart sank.

He has confirmed from Mr. Yuan that there is no such thing as demon species in this world, or in other words, all the demon sect members who can reach the level of demon god are demon species.

Everything that happened in Lingzhou before was created by Mr. Yuan.

However, they were all discarded by Bai Yuan later, and unexpectedly they were taken away by others.

Yang Fangyu asked.

"What is the origin of the Demon Sect's Holy Son?"

The young businessman shook his head. "That Saint Son is extremely mysterious, and very few people know about him. I only heard that the leader of the Tianxin Sect has appointed him as the successor to the leader."

Hear this.

Yang Fangyu was even more surprised.

He didn't expect that the so-called Holy Son of the Demon Sect had actually gained the support of the leader of the Tianxin Sect.

The Demon Sect has two major branches.

The strength of Tianxin Sect is not weaker than that of Zhuihun Tower. They are almost the two people with the most say after the leader of Demon Sect.

No one would believe that the top leaders of the Demon Sect didn't know.

But until now, the Demon Sect has not responded at all, and this attitude is very interesting.

Could it be that demon species are real?

"Okay, you go down."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Yang Fangyu could only wave his hand and tell the young businessman to leave.

He turned to look at Bai Yuan: "A Yuan, how should we deal with this Holy Son who fell from the sky?"

"Continue to ask people to collect intelligence."

"it is good."

Yang Fangyu nodded.

The Demon Sect is a behemoth. Under Mr. Yuan's painstaking management, its combat power is almost comparable to half of Xuan Yang. If such a huge force moves south, it will be almost fatal to the current Xuan Yang.

Looking at Yang Fangyu leaving, Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Holy Son. Demon Seed"

He avoided the identity of a demon as much as possible.

But I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to take up this title, which was really unexpected.

"I want to see who it is."

Beiyuan, above the endless wasteland.

A dilapidated wooden house stands quietly on the land.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

The gate was pushed open.

A young man in gorgeous clothes and an old man in a black robe whose face could not be seen clearly walked into the courtyard.

The wooden house has fallen into disrepair and is beginning to fall apart.

A gust of wind is enough to wipe out everything here, except for the orchids in the yard that are still blooming.

"Is this where Mr. Yuan lives?"

The young man curiously pulled off a piece of orchid leaf.

The old man in black robe spoke in a hoarse voice: "Yes, it's here."

“It doesn’t seem to be anything unusual.”

The young man looked left and right, wanting to know what kind of person Mr. Yuan, whom he had never met before, was.

To the extent that everyone he met, when they heard the three words "Mr. Yuan", would give him a look of reverence that disgusted him.

The old man in black robe did not answer.

When Mr. Yuan was alive, he entered this courtyard only a few times.

Except for the owner of the Soul-Chasing Tower and the leader of the Demon Sect, almost no one else is qualified to enter this courtyard, and the same goes for him, even though he is the leader of the Tianxin Sect.

He looked at the young man in front of him.

His eyes are deep.

"Holy Seed."

These two words rose in the mind of the Tianxin Sect leader.

This young man found him three months ago and claimed that he was the legendary holy seed.

At first, he naturally didn't believe it.

As the highest leader of the Demon Sect, he knew that the Holy Seed was just a few words mentioned by the Demon God.

According to legend, the founder of the Demon Sect once said to his disciples that although his body is dead, his mind is immortal and will transform into a seed and reincarnate into the world.

Therefore, the legend of the demon species has been circulating.

However, most believers just regard it as a myth, and in the past few hundred years, no one mentions it anymore.

Until that Xuanyang man appeared.
Mr. Yuan first rebuilt the Demon Sect by himself. Although his personal combat power was not strong, he had the ability to help others break through. He broke through with the help of Mr. Yuan.

The concept of holy seed was also proposed by Mr. Yuan.

"What did that person say about me?" the young man suddenly asked.

The leader of Tianxin Sect pulled back his thoughts and said calmly: "Mr. Yuan once said that the Holy Seed is the most intelligent person in the world. Those who have the Holy Lord's self are Holy Seed."

He did not continue.

Because according to Mr. Yuan, as long as one can break through the realm of Martial Saint, he will become a holy seed.

You don't even need to be a member of the Demon Sect.

That's why Bai Yuan was chosen as the holy seed.

The leader of Tianxin Sect looked deeply at the young man again.

The young man's name is Mo Tian.

The reason why he firmly believed that Mo Tian was the holy seed was because of Mo Tian's bones.

This was a set of bones he had never seen before.

It’s not because the bones are so talented, but because Mo Tian’s bones are very old.

Correct!
老.
Very old, so old that even the leader of the Tianxin Sect could not imagine it.

After reaching the state of spiritual enlightenment, one can tell a person's bones at a glance. Mo Tian's bones, in addition to his extraordinary talent, actually have the traces of five thousand years of age.

Five thousand years!!

The leader of the Tianxin Sect had never seen such an ancient root bone. This was simply beyond his understanding.

The devil was also born five thousand years ago.

So when Mo Tian said that he was a holy seed, he didn't have any doubts.

Apart from the Holy Lord, who else can live for five thousand years?
Mo Tian spoke again: "By the way, what is the name of the person that Mr. Yuan mistook for me?"

The leader of the Tianxin Sect replied: "Bai Yuan."

Huanglongfu, the provincial government.

There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby of the yamen at this time.

Most of them are Cao Gang members who came from Jiangnan.

The leader of the Cao Gang took a sip of tea, then gently put down the cup and sighed: "Master Bai, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

He came here just for the matter of the Beiyuan caravan.

Beiyuan's profit was even greater than he had imagined, accounting for as much as 30% of the Cao Gang's profit. Moreover, the risk was much lower than that of the two emperors. At least he didn't have to worry about not paying back the money.

When he learned that the Cao Gang merchant caravan had been ambushed several times in a row.

He could no longer sit still and brought people to Lingzhou to find Bai Yuan to seek a solution.

Han Jiu seemed to realize that his tone was wrong, and added: "Master Bai, I am not here to ask for culpability. You also have 50% of the caravan, you can't just watch the duck fly away."

Bai Yuan: "Boss Han, I understand what you mean, but this matter concerns the Demon Sect, so I dare not act rashly."

When Han Jiu heard the word "Demon Sect", his eyes narrowed.

Compared to Bai Yuan who was in Lingzhou, he obtained information much slower.

He didn't expect that the people who robbed the caravan were actually the Demon Sect that had fought against Xuan Yang for several years.

"If it is really the work of the Demon Sect, then it will be very difficult."

Han Jiu became even more anxious.

What kind of existence is the Demon Sect?
That existence was a headache for the Xuanyang imperial court even at its peak. Even if the Cao Gang was combined with the four continents of Shuofang, they would still be far from being a match for the Demon Sect.

It seemed that his business was about to fail.

Of course Han Jiu was unwilling to accept this.

Bai Yuan: "Boss Han, I have sent people to Beiyuan to investigate the situation. I heard that someone claimed to be a demon and joined forces with the leader of the Tianxin Sect to regain control of the area south of Beiyuan."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words.

Han Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were just the Tianxin Sect, the situation would be much better.

As we all know, the Demon Sect is divided into two branches: Tianxin Sect and Zhuihun Tower. The methods of Tianxin Sect are far less cold-blooded and cruel than those of Zhuihun Tower. Maybe there is still a chance of turning around.

"Demon species?"

Han Jiu looked at Bai Yuan in confusion: "Master Bai, hasn't the demon species been killed by the experts sent by the court?"

He still remembers it.

At that time, the matter of the demon seed was a hot topic in Lingzhou, and even he had heard of it.

In the end, it took the joint efforts of Taibao Yan Shaoan and a great Taoist priest from the Dragon and Tiger Sect to kill the demon.

I didn't expect it to appear again after so many years.

Bai Yuan nodded: "Yes, it is a demon seed. As for whether it is true or not, I can't be sure."

Han Jiu sighed again.

Beiyuan's situation was much more complicated than he had expected.

If there were only barbarians or monsters who were not afraid of the bearded man's bone order, there would still be many ways to deal with it. But now it involves both the demon species and the demon sect, so things have become much more difficult.

The Cao Gang is not even considered the top one in Xuanyang, so how dare they provoke a behemoth like the Demon Sect.

But he really doesn't want to give up the benefits he has obtained and let them go to waste.

Bai Yuan: "Since Gang Leader Han is here too, why don't we wait a little longer together? Maybe there will be more news."

Han Jiu nodded.

"That's all."

Not only Han Jiu, Bai Yuan also didn't want the money that flowed in like a river every day to stop coming.

Although he now owns the northern border.

But collecting taxes is a big problem.

The North has just been stabilized. If taxes are raised, it will surely cause civil unrest, which will only backfire.

But it is not an easy task to support the Zhenbei Army and Zhenxi Army with the tax revenue from the North.

The entire Xuanyang can only afford to support four troops, and he has to support two in the Northern Territory alone. You can imagine how difficult it is.

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall.

Bai Yuan is good at fighting, but his ability to fight cannot be exchanged for silver and food.

Business with the Cao Gang became the best way to fill the gap. It was with the money from the Cao Gang that the army could barely maintain itself. If this channel was cut off, the army's combat effectiveness would definitely be affected.

The Red Turban Army has always been eyeing the northern border.

Once the northern border shows signs of weakness, the Red Turban Army will be able to take advantage of the situation and invade. At that time, war will break out and there will be no peace.

Bai Yuan and Han Jiu were waiting for news about the demon species in Lingzhou.

Before the spies from Beiyuan brought back the news.

But he received a secret letter from Emperor Li Dai.

"Yuan Qi."

"Xuanyang is in chaos now, and the Beiyuan Demon Sect seems to be resurrecting. If the Demon Sect moves south again, it may cause chaos in the world. I hope that you, my dear Yuan, will guard the northern border and support the country. I will be grateful for it."

The letter is not long and the content is not difficult to understand.

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He actually underestimated Li Dai.

I didn't expect Li Dai to get the information about Beiyuan so quickly.

The power of the Demon Sect is well known to those who have personally experienced it. Li Dai once served as the military supervisor of the Zhenbei Army, and Yan Shaoan once led troops personally, so they knew very well how powerful the Demon Sect is.

That's why he contacted Bai Yuan through a secret letter.

There is only one request, and that is to hope that Bai Yuan can lead his troops to stop the Demon Sect in the northern border.

Li Dai also stated in the letter that as long as Bai Yuan was willing to resist the Demon Sect, after he succeeded, he could make Bai Yuan the King of the North and could choose three continents as his fiefdom.

A prince of this level has not appeared for a long time, except when the country was founded.

Of course, Li Dai's condition seems very tempting, but in fact it is just an empty promise.

Not to mention Li Kang who dominated the Central Plains, the Red Turban Army supported by the Hanging Temple and Zhengyang Gate was not easy to deal with.

It is still unknown who will win.

If Li Dai can rule the world, Bai Yuan can stop the Demon Sect and provide Xuan Yang with a stable environment, then a prince of three continents is not too much.

Li Dai’s calculations were quite shrewd.

Bai Yuan calmly put the letter down.

It seems that the emergence of the Demon Sect has made those people in the Central Plains no longer calm.

It is estimated that Li Dai’s secret letter is just the beginning, and many people will be unable to sit still afterwards.

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you want him to send troops, you can, but just a piece of paper is far from enough!
