From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Mu Sheng said calmly, "Master Jingyu, what are you saying? How could I kill people? Killing demons is more appropriate."

His heart sank. He had no idea when this person had followed him; he hadn't sensed it at all.

It's best not to see yourself killing Zhao Hu and Chen Baisheng.

Jing Yu smiled, but his face betrayed nothing. He said, "My Five Beasts Yuan Gong has been perfected, so my five senses are much stronger than ordinary people. I can still distinguish between human blood and demon blood."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile undiminished, and said, "Moreover, your murderous aura isn't from killing just one or two people. The murderous aura emanating from those pig butchers isn't much different from yours."

I killed a lot of people in the hidden dungeons.

Mu Sheng answered in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain it for the time being. If she said that she had found a part-time job as a pig butcher, not to mention whether the other party would believe it, such a thing would be known as soon as she got back.

It simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

His mind raced, trying to find a way to cope.

"This is a minor matter." Jing Yu's face turned serious as he looked at Mu Sheng and advised, "But with your bloodthirsty nature, be careful you don't turn into a demon."

Mu Sheng immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "Master Jingyu, what exactly are these demons? Why have I heard there are many of them outside the city?"

If it weren't for the large number of demons outside the city, he would have taken the opportunity to leave the city with Mu Yun and his wife long ago.

This city is going through a very turbulent time.

Jing Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure about the origins of demons, but some demons are formed by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. These demons can become stronger by eating human flesh and blood. Others are born from resentment that is hard to let go of in life, which turns into malevolence and demons. There are many ways in which demons are born, but no one can explain their origins to this day."

"Then why do I see wild animals in the mountains? Aren't they afraid of demons?" Mu Sheng asked in confusion.

Jingyu explained, "Because wild animals are not very intelligent, demons eat wild animals only to fill their stomachs and do not increase their strength. Only by eating humans can they grow quickly, and naturally they ignore the existence of wild animals. Of course, there are some invisible demons that kill any living beings they see, but they are extremely rare to be born."

"Humans and demons cannot coexist. In a remote place like Changshu, the demons are not particularly powerful. Most of them are only of the lower level. If you encounter a mid-level demon, it will be difficult to be harmed by swords and blades. No matter how many martial artists there are, they cannot harm it in the slightest. Only martial artists of the Qi level can kill it. As for high-level demons, if they appear, it will be a disaster."

"What are the characteristics of a mid-level demon?" Mu Sheng thought of Yang Xing. If the other party was a demon, then what level of demon did he correspond to?

"Mid-level demons, a few are born due to various harsh conditions, but most grow rapidly by eating people. One of them is that they can speak human language, are quite intelligent, and can peel off human skin to disguise themselves as humans. The rest..." Jing Yu pondered for a moment and said, "They really don't have any special characteristics."

Mu Sheng was startled, fearing that Yang Xing was a mid-level demon.

And the fact that this mid-level demon could even disguise itself as a human was truly terrifying.

Is Yang Xing still Yang Xing?

"Logically, shouldn't demons grow faster in more remote areas?" Mu Sheng asked curiously, "And shouldn't there be more of them?"

"No," Jingyu shook his head and said, "Mountain spirits and wild monsters mostly need time to take shape, which is why there are many low-level demons in remote areas. As for mid-level demons, first of all, their birth is mostly based on humans, just like you. If you have a bloodthirsty nature, you may completely fall into demonhood. And the instinct of demons is to devour stronger humans. If there are experts in big cities, their blood energy will naturally attract more demons."

He looked in Chang Shu's direction and said, "In a small town like this, the strongest warriors are only at the Qi Refining level, so they can't attract any demons."

"Although the strong can attract demons, demons are also top-quality materials for us martial artists. Refining demons and making pills both require demon materials, so some powerful sects tend to go to places with many demons."

"If that's the case, then wouldn't the army be the most likely to attract demons?" Mu Sheng continued to ask.

"Of course, but the army has its formations. Even if a superior demon comes, it can only become a ghost in the formation. The army is invincible, at least in this Great Qing. Therefore, it is the strongest force in the world..."

"Then there are forces that possess military formations. My Zhenyuan Temple has no military formations, so we can only be considered second-rate." Jingyu sighed, "And those first-rate forces are now eyeing the imperial court covetously. They are waiting for the fall of that number one national advisor in the world."

At this point, he shook his head and looked at Mu Sheng, saying, "Why am I telling you all this?"

"Just remember to guard your mind and don't let killing corrupt your spirit. Throughout history, countless martial artists have become demons because they lost their minds."

"This disciple has learned much," Mu Sheng said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Jing Yu then asked his original purpose for coming: "Have you seen Zhao Hu and Chen Baisheng?"

Mu Sheng said with a serious expression, "I've never seen it before."

"That's strange." Jing Yu muttered to herself, glancing at Mu Sheng, but didn't see any trace of lying.

This kid is always so serious.

Mu Sheng asked curiously, "Weren't those two missing? Are they really in the mountains?"

Jing Yu glanced at Xiang Musheng and said, "You brat, you didn't just hide in the mountains, did you?"

Mu Sheng said somewhat shyly, "You noticed."

Jing Yu smiled and looked at him, saying, "You did a good job. Always prioritize your own safety. If you really encountered that situation, you probably wouldn't be able to escape either."

In his memory, Mu Sheng had only been a student for two months. He originally thought he was just an ordinary kid who was at most a little better at understanding things.

However, he admitted that he had misjudged the young man. The aptitude of this kid was probably quite high. After all, he could master the Tiger-Slaying Blade to a minor level in just one month, which was something that ordinary people could not match.

Even within the Zhenyuan Temple, he was considered a genius, though not comparable to the sect's top contenders, but still surpassing the rest.

To give an example, those who intend to compete for the inner sect are only those who have mastered a minor level of martial arts.

Even those masters of the Transformation Realm in Changshu City have only spent years mastering a minor level of martial arts.

This shows just how amazing Mu Sheng is.

If the aptitude is good and the bone age is even younger, then it is a new seed.

What a pity.

With this level of strength, it's practically impossible for him to defeat Zhao Hu, who is at the Transformation Realm.

Unless he has mastered the Five Beasts and Animals Technique.

How could that be?

Jingyu did not believe it.

"But given the current situation, how long must we wait?" Mu Sheng asked.

"Once the thief is beheaded and Zhao Hu and Chen Baisheng are found, the method of raising demons might be in their hands," Jing Yu said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"What a huge hat," Mu Sheng thought to herself.

This is clearly an investigation by higher authorities. These people killed to cover up their crimes, but what exactly did they do to dare to do such a thing?

As we learned from what Yu just said, all the powerful figures are waiting for the death of the world's number one national advisor, which means that he is not dead yet.

The imperial court still holds sway, yet they still dare to act this way.

Just then.

A figure fell from the sky to the ground.

"Bang!"

A layer of dust was lifted up.
