Chapter 28 He is no longer human, Du Meng's death, the hidden danger of the devil
From start to finish, it's just a snap of your fingers.
People only saw Jiang Nan rushing into the sky and colliding with the terrifying demon.
Then, the demon was torn apart in an instant, turning into bloody mist and broken limbs.
People didn't even see clearly how Jiang Nan took action.
There was dead silence all around.
All Yin Tianwei looked at Jiang Nan as if they were looking at a monster.
That's a level three monster!
Just like that, killed?
People even doubted whether the third-level demon was fake.
However, the two-star Silver Heavenly Guard had a close relationship with the demon and was almost killed by the demon with a slap.
This shows how terrifying this level three monster is.
The third level is also called the command level.
But even such a terrifying demon was fragile and vulnerable in front of Jiang Nan.
One face-to-face encounter and it exploded.
How terrible!
The scary thing is not the monster, but Jiang Nan!
Only then did people seem to realize that the man in front of them was only sixteen years old now, still a teenager.
But now, his strength has surpassed too many strong men.
Equivalent to a commander-level demon in the Dan Palace Realm, it can be killed instantly with one strike.
I am afraid that even the top geniuses of Ming Hongwu Academy cannot compare with him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Three figures arrived at extremely fast speeds.
In the blink of an eye, he landed in front of Jiang Nan.
Feeling the strong aura of the other party, Jiang Nan's eyes narrowed.
Three Grandmasters!
Three Golden Heavenly Guards.
But one of them is an old acquaintance of Jiang Nan.
"Greetings to Lord Yan, hello to the two adults."
Jiang Nan held his hand.
He is currently just a commoner and a torturer at the lowest level of the Demon Slayer Division. When facing adults like the Demon Slayer Division, he should have such etiquette.
"Young Master Jiang, you're welcome."
Yan Yunfeng raised his hand and said gently.
Jiang Nan was so humble, and the eyes of the other two Jin Tianwei showed unabashed admiration.
The only son of Prince Yong is far from being as arrogant and dandy as people say.
He is an elegant and humble young man, and he is also a bloody and true warrior!
Yan Yunfeng looked around and asked, "Is it just this one?"
Jiang Nan nodded, "It seems so at the moment."
"Okay! This time Mr. Jiang has made great achievements in slaying demons. I will report your achievements truthfully."
Yan Yunfeng said with a solemn expression.
Jiang Nan's face was solemn, and he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I'm serious. I am a demon slayer and torturer. It is my duty to slay demons."
He knew very well that the credit he deserved would definitely not be less.
However, this is what I have to say.
As soon as these words came out, the admiration in the eyes of Yan Yunfeng and the other two Jin Tianwei became even stronger.
Any boss will like such a dignified and well-educated subordinate who neither fights nor hides when things go wrong.
What's more, this is the only son of Prince Yong and has a profound background.
He is also a great genius!
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Nan was just a prisoner in the dungeon and was not part of the Jin Tianwei system, Yan Yunfeng and the others would have rushed to take him into their ranks as soon as possible.
But having a good relationship with such a genius has only advantages and no disadvantages for them.
Of course, now is not the time to be particularly expressive.
Because the emperor's attitude toward Jiang Nan seemed a bit unclear.
Although I have the intention to make friends with him, in reality, I need to grasp the appropriateness.
At this time, a group of Silver Heavenly Guards came quickly, each of them looked respectful, clasped their fists and bowed in salute.
"Greetings to the three adults!"
One of the Jin Tianwei nodded and said: "Clean up this place and collect all the stumps. Don't even leave any blood."
All the Silver Heavenly Guards suddenly felt bitter in their hearts.
Jiang Nan beat the demon to death with tyrannical violence, but the beating was so shattering that it would have been an exaggeration to smash the body to pieces, and blood was splattered everywhere.
It's not that difficult to pick them up one by one without missing a beat.
But orders are orders, and they don't dare to disobey them. What's more, this is a commander-level demon, so they must be extremely careful.
Even though there were ten thousand reluctances in my heart, I didn't dare to show it on my face.
"Yes, sir."
A group of people held their fists in solemn expressions.
Then they spread out and collected the stumps.
But Jiang Nan walked towards the dungeon office area.
Although he hopes to kill more second-level monsters, but now that things have developed to such an extent that even monsters have been created, he naturally can no longer allow the situation to develop.
Demons are the common enemy of all human beings, there is no doubt about this.
At this time, Du Meng also walked out of the office area. When he saw Jiang Nan walking towards him, he stopped.
Jiang Nan stopped not far in front of him, stared at him, and asked lightly: "Guanshi Du, do you have anything to say?"
Yan Yunfeng came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Nan said: "Guanshi Du should be able to answer this matter."
Yan Yunfeng looked at Du Meng.
Du Meng is just a dungeon steward, and his cultivation level is only at the Divine Tibetan realm.
Originally, such a small role was not worthy of his attention.
But he soon discovered that this Du Meng was not simple, or something was wrong.
Yan Yunfeng's pupils shrank.
Strictly speaking, Du Meng is no longer a person!
At this time, Du Meng was not as panicked as he imagined, but looked calm.
He looked at Jiang Nan and asked in a high-pitched voice with a strange tone: "Young Master Jiang, do you think I am still a human being now?"
Jiang Nan was stunned.
What does it mean to not be a person?
Is he referring to the fact that he feels ashamed of the human race by collaborating with demons?
Moreover, why is this sound so strange...
At this time, Du Meng continued to talk to himself: "I know, in fact, I am no longer me. I am already a dead person. I was dead a few days ago, but I never wanted to admit it."
After saying this, Du Meng seemed to be relieved.
It seemed that he finally spoke out what was in his heart, freeing him from the psychological burden.
Du Meng's strange words made Jiang Nan confused for a moment.
He turned to look at Yan Yunfeng, who nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, he is dead. He is just a skin bag now, and it is empty inside."
It's empty inside!
Jiang Nan was shocked.
This sentence had a great impact on him, and he suddenly turned to look at Du Meng.
Hearing Yan Yunfeng's explanation, Du Meng laughed sadly, "Haha~!"
Then he continued: "There are some words that I cannot say because it is not allowed. Once I say them, I will disappear immediately and my consciousness will completely dissipate."
His eyes were a little hollow when he spoke.
Three days ago, he placed a second-level monster in the dungeon and gave it a mad transformation pill. As expected, the monster turned mad.
But to his surprise, Jiang Nan easily killed the monster.
But what does that have to do with him?
He has done things according to the other party's requirements.
As for the failure, it has nothing to do with him.
That night, he started taking the "pregnancy pill", but the result shocked him.
The God of Pregnancy Pill was useless, he had no breakthrough at all.
Then, he unknowingly forgot that there was a terrifying existence inside him.
Living in confusion.
Until someone sent another level 2 monster into the dungeon under his jurisdiction and told him that his family would be fine after doing this.
Only then did he realize that he was actually dead.
It's just that he himself has been unwilling to admit it.
In the past few days, he had not eaten, drank or slept, and was always thinking about all kinds of strange problems.
During the interval, he often asked himself, if there is no body and only consciousness, does it count as alive?
He didn't wake up until he knew his family was fine.
He is alive, but actually dead.
Without the support of the body, consciousness is just a rootless duckweed.
The reason why he is still conscious now is because his consciousness is bound to that existence.
He looked at Jiang Nan with apologetic eyes and said slowly: "This matter has something to do with me..."
As soon as he said this, his face began to twist, as if he was suffering from great pain, and he stopped immediately.
After a pause, the slightly distorted facial features recovered again.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
His expression quickly returned to normal and he became calm again.
It was as if the pain just now didn't exist.
Then I didn't know what I thought of, and my eyes lit up slightly again.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm the only one. Everyone else is fine, so I feel relieved."
At this point, he hesitated, "...if, I mean if.
If I can still have pension, please help me give it to my wife and let her pay off the debt of Qibao Chamber of Commerce.
That's what I owed when I bought the house."
Having said this, he looked at Yan Yunfeng, stretched out his finger, and pointed at his heart.
Yan Yunfeng nodded seriously.
Du Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Nan apologetically again, and nodded to him.
Then he pointed to the south, "It comes from..."
But before he finished speaking, his whole body became distorted.
Then, like the air in a balloon being released, the whole person collapsed and quickly turned into a piece of human skin.
Du Meng died in such a strange way in front of everyone.
This scene surprised all the Yin Tianwei present.
Jiang Nan was also shocked.
This was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon.
It is hard to imagine that a person looks good but is empty inside.
A mysterious force controls him, making him conscious and making him look like a normal person.
No wonder Du Meng has been acting weird these days.
It turned out to be so.
At this time, Yan Yunfeng rushed out with an arrow, so fast that an afterimage appeared from his body.
He quickly came to the human skin, opened his big hands, and a ball of blazing Qi burst out, covering the still twisted human skin.
In an instant, the flames burst out——
squeak, babble, babble...
A heart-wrenching scream sounded in his heart.
This sound seems to be able to simulate human emotions and desires, making people feel frightened.
Jiang Nan noticed that the powerful Yan Yunfeng looked serious at this moment, and there was sweat on his face.
I couldn't help but be shocked.
What kind of terrifying existence is this that makes a strong man at the peak of his master work so hard?
The sound lasted for several minutes before gradually extinguishing.
After another moment, Du Meng's human skin was completely turned into ashes.
Only then did Yan Yunfeng take back his true energy and let out a long breath.
Jiang Nan asked: "Sir, what is this?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should be the Heart-Eating Gu from the Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan!"
Yan Yunfeng said with a solemn expression.
As he spoke, he turned to Jiang Nan and said seriously: "This matter is not trivial and needs to be reported as soon as possible. I also ask Major General Jiang to tell the whole story again."
Jiang Nan naturally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Then he also told about a mad second-level monster he encountered while killing monsters a few days ago.
"This is what happened at the time... After the slaughter, I sent the body into the garbage channel. When I came up, I reported the matter to Du Meng."
Du Meng is already dead. As for Du Meng not reporting the matter before, that is Du Meng's business.
He only needed to describe the matter in general.
Then he told in detail what happened when he entered the dungeon today and encountered the five monster beasts.
"...the five monsters were all Level 2 monsters, and they turned crazy one after another... When the last one was killed, it suddenly transformed into a demon, broke through to the leader level, rushed out of the dungeon, and was then attacked by me.
kill."
"That's the process."
Yan Yunfeng nodded and said: "This matter must not be made public for the time being. If the superiors need it, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to talk about it again."
Jiang Nan's face was serious, and he clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, sir, this is a matter for me. If necessary, it's okay to go and talk to me again."
Yan Yunfeng: "Okay."
Then he said to the two Jin Tianwei: "Let's go."
The two Jin Tianwei nodded to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan held his hand.
The two Jin Tianwei and Yan Yunfeng immediately jumped up, ejected, bounced on the roofs of various buildings, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
…
…
Royal study room.
Looking at Wei Chun, who was calm and still contemplating in front of him, Zhu Xuan's face completely exploded with anger.
He yelled: "Such monsters appeared over and over again under my nose, and so many people died! Tell me, what is going on?"
Wei Chun clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this situation should not happen in Kyoto where the imperial power is so powerful. This matter is strange~"
"What's weird?" Zhu Xuan was furious, "Are you saying that the glorious national destiny of our Ming Dynasty cannot even be suppressed by small monsters?"
Wei Chun said quickly: "Your Majesty, the National Master has already seen it. The national destiny of our Ming Dynasty is as strong as fire and as bright as the sun..."
"It's as bright as the sun? Demons and ghosts have appeared. Is this the bright sun?"
Zhu Xuan became even more angry when he mentioned the Imperial Master.
He shouted to the outside: "Come here, let the Imperial Master come to see me!"
"yes!"
The eunuch outside quickly left.
After a while, a thin, middle-aged man with gray hair and a Taoist robe hurried over.
"The humble minister Dongfang Yan pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Zhu Xuan stared at the Imperial Master, his expression rising with anger, and he said coldly: "Kyoto is where the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty lies.
But now, all kinds of monsters and monsters have appeared at the feet of the Emperor!
Is this why you told me that the Ming Dynasty’s national destiny was as strong as a blazing fire and the sun was shining brightly?
Tell me what's going on!"
During this period, first Jiang Nan suddenly appeared in the palace prison, and the witch in the prison disappeared without a trace.
Then, except for the disappearance of Zhou Boli and Zhou Yaoyu, the family of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all the others became mummies.
Then the Great Demon was born in the south of Kyoto, which was simply a provocation to the power of the Ming Dynasty;
Then, monsters appeared in the inner city, and then all the family members of the imperial concubine died, and more than ten inexplicable dead bodies appeared in the river in the inner city.
But now, demons have appeared again in the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division, and even the Gu of the southern Xinjiang demon clan has appeared.
All this shows that there was a big problem with the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
And this national master is still deceiving him.
If this guy couldn't give him a convincing explanation today, he would kill him without hesitation.
Dongfang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty is indeed strong, I will never dare to lie! The reason why demons appeared and were not suppressed by the national destiny is just that they were blinded by the influence of something."
Zhu Xuan was not convinced by Dongfang Yan's explanation. He stared at him with majestic eyes and said, "Speak!"
Feeling the mighty power of the emperor, Dongfang Yan quickly said: "I thought it was because of the demon fetus."
Demon fetus?
Zhu Xuan was shocked.
Wei Chun on the side was thoughtful.
The devil fetus is an extremely special existence, not something filled with evil energy that is scary.
Instead, it glows with golden light and looks very divine.
Its shape is never fixed, and no one knows what is inside. The soul, spirit, various perceptions, and various detection tools cannot detect it.
Although it looks divine, it absorbs a lot of human energy.
It can also confuse people and make them their slaves to kill.
Every time it appears, it will cause a bloody storm.
If left unchecked, it could even affect the entire country.
But what is unbelievable is that the demon fetus cannot be killed or eliminated.
No matter what method is used.
Even Emperor Wu was helpless against it.
Such an immortal existence is extremely harmful to the human race.
Therefore, the only way to seal it is in the end.
However, it is difficult for ordinary sealed places to be effectively sealed, and it will not take long for them to break free.
It can only be suppressed with the help of dynasty luck.
At the beginning, the third national master of the Dongfang family proposed to build a demon-suppressing tower in Kyoto to suppress the demon fetus in the dynasty's national destiny.
And the effect is indeed very good.
Over the past three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty had sealed seven demon fetuses.
They were all suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower in Kyoto.
This also led to hostile forces outside the Ming Dynasty often wanting to release the demon fetuses in the Demon Suppression Tower.
This will bring disaster to the entire Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the national fortune of the powerful Ming Dynasty declined, and then the entire Ming Dynasty could be cannibalized.
However, over the years, no one has ever succeeded.
Kyoto gathered the most powerful masters of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Imperial Guards, the Demon Slayer Division, and many other strong men. In the end, all the hidden enemies and masters were uncovered one by one and ruthlessly eliminated.
It can be said that the Demon Suppressing Tower has become a landmark building in Kyoto. It not only suppressed the demon fetus, but also frightened Xiao Xiao for the Ming Dynasty, and also weakened the masters of hostile countries.
The Dongfang family's inheritance is the Tianji Master, and they also have outstanding achievements in the rune field.
The large number of runes used for the seals in the Demon Suppression Tower were all carved by the Dongfang family.
Basically all the rune processes in the Demon Slayer Division's Tiangong Department come from the Dongfang Family.
It can be said that with just these two things, the Dongfang family made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
So, in fact, Wei Chun and Zhu Xuan had almost no doubts about Dongfang Yan's words.
All along, every patriarch of the Dongfang Family has also been a national advisor of the Ming Dynasty, and there is almost no need to doubt their loyalty.
But Dongfang Yan mentioned that what affected the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was actually the demon fetus suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower.
This made Zhu Xuan quite frightened.
Has this kind of devil fetus, which we still haven’t figured out what it is, finally starting to affect the national destiny of the dynasty?
Is it true as the saying goes, “Success comes from the East, and failure comes from the East”?
The demon fetus can be killed but cannot be killed, and it cannot be released. It can only be sealed, and the only place to seal it is Kyoto.
But now the demon fetus has affected the national destiny of the dynasty, causing demons in Kyoto to appear and endangering the imperial city.
What is the solution to this problem?
Zhu Xuan knew that this matter was very difficult, but it needed to be solved urgently!
Otherwise, Kyoto will soon be in chaos.
The chaos in Kyoto may shake the country, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
He stared at Dongfang Yan with majestic eyes and asked seriously: "In the opinion of the Imperial Master, how should this matter be resolved?"
