Chenyang City is a city five hundred miles west of Daoguang City.

It is also a small city controlled by the Cheng family, with a population of less than ten million.

But just the day before yesterday, people in this city have been missing one after another. So far, nearly 300 people have disappeared without any reason. The city lord's palace sent people to search to no avail. Later, several mummies were found in the wilderness a hundred miles outside the city.

.

Ever since the news spread that the Huangfu family and the Wang family had joined forces to attack the Cheng family, the entire ancient martial arts world has been in turmoil. Unprecedented murder cases have occurred frequently, but this is the first time that ordinary people have been killed on a large scale.

Some people soon speculated whether the Huangfu family and the Wang family were fighting.

Although the Cheng family had previously reduced its combat power in order to protect Daoguang City, after the alliance with the Sima family and the Zhao family, not only all the original combat power was returned, but also nearly half of the combat power was increased to protect Daoguang City. At such a scale, it is already unbeatable.

General main city strength.

Although the city's internal strength has improved a lot, the city lord's palace has no other choice but to arrange more people to patrol the city.

At the same time, he asked the people in the city not to leave the city in the near future.

No, as night fell, the murder still happened.

The City Lord's Mansion received the latest report. In an area of ​​​​the East City, there was a family. All four members of the family died and turned into mummies. Among them, there were two elders and two younger ones. The elder was in the realm of acquired warriors.

Although it was a mummified corpse, Zuo Zuo still deduced that the deceased died not long ago, and it must have been after nightfall and the city gate was closed.

In this case, the murderer must still be in this city.

Of course, it is right to target ordinary people, but unfortunately this murderer is not an ordinary person, not even a human being, so the result is self-evident.

The entire city was turned upside down, but no suspicious person or suspicious clues were found.

Not long after, a murder case also occurred in Xicheng District. When Cheng's family arrived, he had also just died. It was obvious that the murderer had been in the city all along, making everyone panic.

In the Cheng Family Formation Hall, after receiving Chenyang City's request for help, the head of the Cheng Family gathered a group of people to discuss it, including of course the Sima Family and the Zhao Family.

They all felt that it was unlikely to be the work of the Huangfu family or the Wang family. After all, they were all five major families, and each had their own techniques and methods, and they knew each other well. Such evil techniques had never been heard of before.

But during this extraordinary period, there were a large number of death cases, which made people think of them.

In the end, the result of their discussion was to send reinforcements, but when they were discussing who to send, Huang Chuyang happened to come out of seclusion.

Today is the fourth day, and there is still one day before the Huangfu family attacks. Huang Chuyang originally planned to retreat for five days, but after his enlightenment and advancement yesterday, he practiced some more and stabilized his state.

Seeing everyone gathered in the meeting hall, he thought there was a fight in advance.

After understanding what happened, Huang Chuyang took the initiative to take over the reinforcement mission. He felt that there was something fishy about this matter, and it might have something to do with him.

The distance of five hundred miles, and since many lives were at stake, Huang Chuyang flew quickly with his sword and arrived at Chenyang City as soon as possible.

After examining the corpses of the deceased, as expected, they all died after being drained of their essence and blood.

Nine times out of ten, the demon soul reappears.

Huang Chuyang has encountered demon souls twice before. The first time was Xiao Zhenyu, and the second time was Chang Sun Ce. I wonder who it will be this time?

Huang Chuyang ran around Chenyang City one night, setting up no less than a hundred surveillance sub-formations throughout the city, and a mother surveillance array in the city lord's palace. At the same time, he also asked Xiao Jin and his apprentice Murong Rong to come out to help.

According to the records of the City Lord's Mansion, so far, no murder had occurred during the day, so after dawn, Huang Chuyang returned to Daoguang City with his sword.

Hongxiang Tower is still the same small courtyard.

Huang Chuyang and Miss Hongliu stood opposite each other. Although she was still wearing the same aqua blue clothes, she was more energetic than before because she had completely stood up.

Maybe he was in a very good mood today and was not satisfied with Huang Chuyang's nicknames of "Hongliu Girl" and "Hongliu Girl", so she asked him to call him Hongliu directly. She also called him Chuyang directly, but Huang Chuyang didn't have any idea about this.

Opinion.

Huang Chuyang told the mummies in Chenyang City, and then compared them with the two previous demon soul incidents. Hong Liu also felt that it should be the demon soul, but he didn't know what the demon soul wanted to do now.

Who is its current bearer?

"Chu Yang, I wonder if you know something. The two large stone sculptures at the entrance of Tianci Stone Square are missing. I remember you told me before that the stone sculptures were a little unusual." Hongliu said about this strange thing.

"It disappeared. When did it happen?" Huang Chuyang was obviously very concerned about this matter. If he hadn't been in a hurry last time, he might have checked the stone sculpture.

"It was about midnight a week ago. I just heard the news. I went to check it out. Except for some gravel left on the ground, there was no clue."

"There is another thing related to Tianci Stone Square. On the day when the stone sculpture disappeared, Xiao Zhenkun returned to Daoguang City, dressed in black. The strangest thing is that he did not go home, but stayed at the inn, and disappeared again in the middle of the night.

Do you think it’s strange or not?”

After hearing this, Huang Chuyang said, "Xiao Zhenkun returned to the city and disappeared in the middle of the night. At the same time, the stone sculpture also disappeared in the middle of the night. Are you saying these two things are related?"

Hongliu nodded, "I think the disappearance of the stone sculptures is probably Xiao Zhenkun's fault."

After saying that, he looked at Huang Chuyang.

After a while, Huang Chuyang seemed to come to his senses, "You mean, Xiao Zhenkun is probably the new demon soul?"

Hongliu showed her habitual smile. Maybe she was tired from standing, so she sat down gently and took a sip of tea.

Every time I come to Hongxianglou, I can get Hongliu's analysis and tips. This is why Huang Chuyang likes to go there.

Unknowingly, Hongliu became Huang Chuyang's military advisor, and he didn't know it yet.

Huang Chuyang said goodbye to Hongliu, left Hongxiang Tower and rushed to Chenyang City.

Returning to the Chenyang City Lord's Mansion, seeing that there was nothing going on, Huang Chuyang also joined the team to check the surveillance formation.

The current surveillance array has been improved a lot compared to the original Level 2. Huang Chuyang not only upgraded it to Level 4, but also made the array able to penetrate sound.

He originally wanted to transmit the picture, but he lacked the strength. He estimated that in order to achieve audio and video transmission, he would need at least a level six formation or above.

Soon the day passed and night fell.

Several people were very alert and silently stared at the formation in front of them. The areas above represented the surveillance sub-formations arranged throughout the city.

Just at the time of the first update, there was movement in the surveillance array, and murder cases occurred in Dongcheng District and Xicheng District at the same time.

Huang Chuyang flew to Dongcheng District. When he arrived, he saw a tall black shadow, which did not look like Xiao Zhenkun.

When he saw it, he couldn't let it run away, so Huang Chuyang quickly chased after him.

After chasing him to a wilderness a hundred miles outside the city, the black shadow disappeared. No matter how Huang Chuyang looked for it, he was nowhere to be seen.

Having no choice but to return in frustration, Murong Rong and Xiao Jin also came back. The same thing happened to them over there, they found a tall black figure, but they couldn't catch up.

In a cave outside the wilderness, two tall black figures were seen kneeling on one knee, reporting something to the man in black in front of them.

The man in black is Xiao Zhenkun, the target of the demon soul in Huang Chuyang's mouth.

And the two black clothes are naturally released from the stone sculptures, Moli Humph and Moli Ha.

This second general, Heng Ha, was Mohun's former most powerful general.

A cold voice sounded in the cave, "Huang Chuyang, you appeared again"

The emotionless voice made it impossible to tell whether it was anger or joy.

Regarding Huang Chuyang's killing of Chang Sun Ce and his pursuit of Mo Liha, Xiao Zhenkun knew that he could share the images through the secret skills of the demon clan, which was equivalent to his own experience.

Daoguang City, Chengjia Formation Hall.

Huang Chuyang came back here, and he told the story about the demon soul. Everyone who heard the news was even more shocked than the Huangfu family teaming up with the Wang family to deal with the Cheng family.

Especially the three princes, they are very aware of the unprecedented battle in the ancient martial arts world in the central area. At that time, all the human races in the central area had to pay the price of their lives to seal the demon race.

He is the Lord of Demonic Souls.

If the Lord of the Demonic Soul appears again, he may be in danger of annihilating the world. After all, the strength of the ancient martial arts world now is not as strong as that of the ancient martial arts world back then.

Realizing that the situation was serious, the three princes immediately reported it to the Jie Lü Hall.

Soon, an elder representative came out of Jielu Hall.

The first thing the elder did when he came out was to contact the five major families to discuss countermeasures to eliminate the demons. As for the Huangfu family and the Wang family, they had no choice but to give up their plan to attack the Cheng family.

As a result, the battle between the five major families was temporarily broken up silently due to the appearance of the demon soul.

Under the leadership of this elder, a demon hunting team was quickly established.

Each family forms a five-person team dedicated to hunting demon souls, and all of them must be above the foundation level.

Except for the Cheng family, the other four major families have no problem, but the Cheng family does not have enough people to build the foundation, and with the addition of Taishang and Huang Chuyang, they can barely have enough.

In this way, all the foundation builders set out to encircle and exterminate the demon souls, and no one from the Cheng family was in charge. If anything went wrong, the entire Cheng family would be in danger.

Finally, Huang Chuyang suggested that the Supreme Being should be placed in charge of the Cheng family, and that there was still one less person to build the foundation, and he would be responsible for solving the problem.

His best candidate is of course Hongliu. During the last expedition to the ruins, the two of them cooperated quite well.

Soon after Huang Chuyang sent the message, Hongliu came to the Cheng Family Formation Hall.

No one knows this mysterious Hongxiang Tower owner, which saves a lot of trouble.

Huang Chuyang introduced him as one of his friends, but others understood Hongliu to be Huang Chuyang's confidante.

After all, no matter how you look at it, both of them are talented and good-looking, so they are a perfect match.

At the same time, I also lamented that Huang Chuyang, who had just entered the ancient martial arts world, had a wide network of contacts and numerous successful friends.

Just as the Cheng family finished forming their team, they received a notice from the elders of Jielu Hall.

The general content of the notice is that the demon hunting teams of the five major families rush to the location where the demon soul last appeared, which is Chenyang City, as quickly as possible.

The entire 500-mile area around Chenyang City was included in the suspicious area, and then divided into five areas. Each area was guarded by the demon hunting teams of the five major families. After they were unified in place, the encirclement was shrunk from the outside in.

In this way, the demon soul has nowhere to hide and can catch turtles in an urn.

It has to be said that this elder is also a man of profound wisdom and decisiveness, and he made a plan in a short time.

Huang Chuyang became interested in this elder who had not yet appeared, and wanted to meet him.

If you can see the leopard in the tube, you can see that if possible, he would also like to go to Jielu Hall. Maybe that is the holy land of cultivation in the ancient martial arts world.

The area divided by the Cheng family was the area from Daoguang City to Chenyang City. When they reached the 300-mile distance from Chenyang City, they stopped. According to the elders of Jielutang, this was a safe distance. No matter how close it was, it would be possible.

Will scare off the grass and scare the snake.

After the demon hunting teams of the five major families reached the designated area, they were ready to wait until nightfall to start shrinking the defense line.
