Chapter 67 I fell for you, the strange reappearance
At the foot of the hillside, Wang Cheng and others dug a big pit.
Then all the bodies were thrown in.
Including the man in black who was shot dead by Jiang Nan with an arrow in the woods.
Twelve corpses in total.
All buried.
It's not that they are very kind, but they don't want these bodies to be discovered prematurely.
At this time, Yong'an's cold and pretty face became chilly.
Under the dynasty, evil organizations like Shenting actually existed.
According to the explanation of the man in black, Lingtu Mountain is surrounded by mountains and is extremely secretive. It has now become a small town, and the people inside are all members of the Divine Court and their families.
These men in black were originally bandits. Later, their lair was wiped out by the imperial court. They fled alone and entered this divine court.
They have no family members in Lingtu Mountain.
Therefore, at the last moment of death, they simply betrayed Lingtu Mountain.
After all, it was others who died, and they just wanted to die quickly.
What's more important is that there are actually people from Shenting in Hongwu Academy.
It's a pity that they don't know who the other party is.
Yong'an's pretty face was serious, and he turned to look at Wang Cheng and said: "Zhao Xu, Zhang Sheng and us will make a move. You and Xiong Qi will rush to Lingtu Mountain immediately and kill everyone, leaving no one behind!"
Wang Cheng quickly clasped his fists and said: "Princess, it will take at least two days to get to Lingtu Mountain from here, and our task is to protect the princess. If anything happens to the princess, we will be responsible for her death!"
Yong'an's pretty face turned cold and said: "Are these people allowed to get away with it? If the news leaks out, and we want to clean them up, the time and energy spent will be dozens of times than now."
Seeing that the eldest princess was angry, Wang Cheng was a little embarrassed.
At this time, Jiang Nan waved his hand and said: "It's not that troublesome. Captain Wang and the others don't need to do such a small thing.
Besides, it will take at least two days to get to Lingtu Mountain from here.
In these two days, who can guarantee that there will be no leaks?"
Yongan turned to Jiang Nan, "Do you have any idea?"
"Of course." Jiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Eldest Princess, don't forget my identity."
Then he took out an object from the space ring and ejected it into the sky.
With a popping sound, it turned into a firework and then disappeared.
Signal?
Everyone glanced at the sky and then looked at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan took out the paper and carefully wrote the information he obtained on the paper.
At the same time, the Skynet Department was asked to investigate the members of the Divine Court of Hongwu Academy.
Not long after, a black shadow came quickly from a distance.
He was in the sky in an instant.
But it is a lightning eagle that has reached the second level of monster beast.
The pair of eagle eyes were like cold stars, looking down sharply.
Jiang Nan shows off his purple gold token.
The lightning eagle fell quickly.
Jiang Nan stuffed the letter into the Lightning Eagle's anklet, sealed it, and said, "Pass it to the nearest Skynet department."
Chirp~
The Lightning Eagle chirped once, then fluttered its wings into the sky and left quickly.
Jiang Nan smiled at Yongan and said, "Okay, the next thing is about the Demon Slayer Division. In less than half a day at the latest, the Demon Slayer Division's people will appear in Lingtu Mountain."
Yong'an nodded lightly, his face softened.
With someone from the Demon Slayer Division taking action, she doesn't need to worry at all.
Jiang Nan turned to look at Shangguan Jun, who had been silent, and grinned: "Brother..."
The burly Shangguan Jun was excited and said quickly: "Bye bye, you are the elder brother and I am the younger brother."
This guy is a complete pervert.
Not only is his strength abnormal, but his sword skills are also abnormal.
Although his strength is pretty good, he can even compete with the Grandmaster in the First and Second Heavens.
But compared with Jiang Nan... In good conscience, he felt that he couldn't compare.
Jiang Nan was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
Everyone also looked at Shangguan Jun with curious faces.
Even Yongan looked surprised.
This guy who has always been so self-righteous can actually be humble?
Shangguan Jun said matter-of-factly: "You can kill the king, but I can't, so of course you are the elder brother and I am the younger brother."
Jiang Nan said: "That was purely a fluke. I used dozens of Explosion Talismans to take advantage of them by surprise. It is not a reflection of my strength."
"Yeah?"
Shangguan Jun blinked.
Jiang Nan nodded and said seriously: "Yes."
Shangguan Jun snorted coldly in his heart.
This guy is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and he wants to lie to him.
No way!
He won't be this guy's brother.
This little brother has made up his mind.
Shangguan Jun said with a serious look: "That's awesome, I can't do it, so you are still the elder brother and I am the younger brother. You have to protect me from now on."
Jiang Nan quickly said: "No, you said you wanted to protect me when we came out of Kyoto. Do you want to cheat?"
Shangguan Jun curled his lips and said matter-of-factly: "That's because I didn't know your strength and was fooled by you! Now that I know, of course you have to protect me."
Seeing this guy's shameless expression, Jiang Nan was speechless.
This guy used to act like he was the boss of the world, but now he has changed his face very quickly.
He knew that this guy was probably determined to become his younger brother.
Obviously, this seemingly arrogant guy is actually very pragmatic.
And such people can often go further.
"Well, since you have to be the younger brother, then you can do it."
Jiang Nan said helplessly.
Shangguan Jun raised his eyebrows, and a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Jiang Nan said again: "Go and fetch my horse."
The smile on Shangguan Jun's face suddenly froze.
Jiang Nan smiled and said: "Look, let me tell you, you are my brother..."
"No, I am the younger brother."
Shangguan Jun said firmly.
"I'll go get the horse."
Then he strode away quickly.
Yongan looked stunned.
Is this the Shangguan Jun who always looked arrogant in Taichu College?
Wang Cheng and others looked at Shangguan Jun's back. Instead of laughing, they nodded secretly.
People who can bend and stretch can often achieve great things.
If their identities were not unequal, they would actually be willing to call Jiang Nan "brother".
It is inevitable that Jiang Nan will become a strong person in the future.
With such a strong person behind you, the future will be smooth.
The group of people immediately mounted their horses and continued towards Hongwu College.
at night.
Under this hillside, a pale hand stretched out from the soil.
Immediately, the soil was separated and thrown away, and one corpse after another under the deep pit opened its eyes.
The strange thing is that except for the corpse that was killed by Jiang Nan, all the other corpses were 'resurrected'.
Although the heart was pierced, it did not seem to hinder their activities, and the wound on the chest was gone.
Some even stuffed the exposed intestines into their stomachs, and the wounds on their stomachs healed quickly.
A total of eight corpses were ‘resurrected’.
These 'resurrectionists' glanced at the corpses in the pit, looked indifferent, and then jumped into the darkness.
…
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
Zhu Xuan stared at Wei Chun with a serious face, "The Shenting matter must be investigated strictly, and everyone involved will be killed!
I don’t want the scourge that occurred decades ago that brought disaster to the country and people to resurface again.
Hongwu Academy must find out who has joined Shenting."
Wei Chun cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Zhu Xuan continued: "Jiang Nan has done something good this time.
This time he was sent to Hongwu Academy, and his strength was proven right from the beginning.
He actually killed a king with dozens of explosive talismans.
It's amazing.
It also proved his ability to handle things.
If things go smoothly, you can look forward to the future.
When he comes back, I will reward him again.
However, I didn't expect that Hongwu Academy would also be infiltrated by the Divine Court.
Obviously, the resurgence of the Divine Court is by no means a short time, and should have been lurking all along."
Wei Chun was silent.
The Divine Court, which had disappeared for decades, reappeared, but there was no news from the Skynet Department.
It can be seen that there is some insecurity within his Skynet department.
But he couldn't say this to Zhu Xuan.
Different from external investigations, if there is a problem within the Skynet Department, he needs to personally identify and investigate it.
Zhu Xuan looked at him again and said nothing.
Wei Chun knew some things even if he didn't tell them.
Wei Chun will handle it himself without his instructions.
Then he changed the topic and said: "Is there any new information on the border?"
Wei Chun clasped his fists and said, "There are no others for the time being, except for the northern barbarians. It seems that the situation is not good."
Zhu Xuan looked calmly and asked: "When will Jiang Tianxing arrive?"
Wei Chun: "About ten days."
Zhu Xuan nodded slightly.
He was not worried about the war in the north.
He knew that with the river and sky walking by, there would be no worries in the north.
Even if Jiang Tianxing hasn't reached the border yet, he can still command the battle, and Zhu Xuan knows this well.
The only thing that made him a little worried was the frequent occurrence of strange things and the resurrection of the dead.
He always felt there was some connection between the two.
Zhu Xuan finally warned: "Pay close attention to this divine court and allocate manpower to investigate alone.
Once discovered, there must be no tolerance at all!
No one can!
Even if it involves the royal family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Chun cupped his fists with a solemn expression.
…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
After a long journey, Jiang Nan and his party finally arrived at the Ming Dynasty Hongwu College located in the Demon Mountain of the Western Region.
When he learned that the eldest princess was coming, Dean Li Yuanlong and the masters of the four courtyards of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu came out to greet her in person.
Yongan, Jiang Nan and others were welcomed into the hospital enthusiastically.
Jiang Nan came to Hongwu College for the first time.
It was discovered that Hongwu College occupies an extremely large area, with a depth of dozens of miles.
There are pavilions and palaces everywhere, which are very magnificent and magnificent.
There are many disciples here, and young faces can be seen everywhere.
Some are immature and some are slightly mature.
Men and women wear different clothes according to their different cultivation levels.
Among them, the Tongmai Realm and Kaiyuan Realm are the most common, followed by the Shenzang Realm and the Dan Palace Realm is less common.
Shangguan Jun and the eldest princess Yong An were the top talents of the previous Qinglong Academy and Zhuque Academy, and were elected to Taichu Academy.
This time he returned to Hongwu College and attracted many people to watch.
Many elites from Hongwu Academy witnessed the eldest princess's grace, and the male disciples all had bright eyes.
So beautiful!
Jiang Nan, who was dressed in white, was looked at by many female disciples, and their beautiful eyes twinkled.
Among the group of people, Shangguan Jun is actually very handsome.
He has a tall body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks strong.
It's just that his handsomeness is a bit rough, which is not the same as Jiang Nan's spotless handsomeness.
So much so that almost all the women's eyes were attracted to Jiang Nan.
Even the female teachers in the college are like this.
"Who is that person? He is so handsome!"
"I have never seen such a handsome person..."
Several women murmured with bright eyes.
A male disciple next to him sneered and said, "You don't even know him? You are too out of date."
"Do you know who he is?"
The female disciple asked unconvinced.
"Of course. He is Prince Yong's only son Jiang Nan." said the male disciple.
The female disciple was immediately shocked, "What? He is the No. 1 dandy in Kyoto, Jiang Nan, who was demoted to the dungeon torturer of the Demon Slayer Department by His Majesty."
The woman next to her said in surprise: "No, he is just a torturer... Could it be that he is here on behalf of the Demon Slayer Division this time?"
Male disciple: "Uh, it seems... yes."
"For this trial, the Demon Slayer Division will send a torturer. Could it be that there is no one in the Demon Slayer Division?"
A disciple muttered.
"Hush! Be careful! If you dare to talk about the Demon Slayer Division, you will die!"
The person next to him quickly stopped him and said, "No matter what, he is also the only son of Prince Yong, and no one can change this. Why shouldn't the Demon Slayer Division send him here?"
The disciple looked unhappy and said: "It's not wrong. The Demon Slayer Division sent a dude to look for talents, which makes people panic. He doesn't treat us as human beings..."
Most people here are unable to advance to Taichu Academy for further studies. Many people will choose to join the Demon Slayer Division, the army, or the Imperial Guard.
But let a dandy who is nothing make the choice, what can he understand?
Except for a good-looking face, the rest is nothing.
Many male disciples were a little disappointed.
As for the female disciples, they had no such idea.
For most women, appearance always comes first.
Although they knew that this was the most handsome man in Kyoto, it did not prevent them from appreciating Jiang Nan's good looks.
So handsome and easy on the eyes.
Just then, a voice from the crowd shouted.
"Third brother! Third brother!"
Shangguan Jun turned around and saw that it was his cousin Shangguan Ming.
At this moment, the crowd was waving desperately to him.
Shangguan Jun grinned, waved and said hello.
"Xiao Mingzi, come back and find me."
Shangguan Jun smiled.
"Hey, that's good."
Shangguan Ming exclaimed happily.
It immediately attracted a lot of envious looks.
The group of people soon arrived at Hongwu Hall and sat down separately.
The eldest princess Yongan sits at the top.
Yong'an looked at Li Yuanlong, went straight to the topic, and said, "Dean, when will the trial start?"
"The original plan is ten days later. Since you came early, you can move forward."
Li Yuanlong said.
Yong'an Su gently waved his hand and said: "Dean, this is not what I mean.
Since the trial hasn’t started yet, let’s arrange for us to enter the Earth Demon Realm first.”
"So urgent?" Li Yuanlong said: "You are tired from the journey, do you want to rest for a few days?"
Yong'an shook his head and said: "No need, if possible, I would like to go to the devil world tomorrow."
Li Yuanlong nodded, "Since the eldest princess said so, I will make preparations. By the way, are you and Shangguan Jun going in together?"
"Yes." Yongan nodded.
At this time, Jiang Nan raised her hand and said, "Dean, can I go in?"
Li Yuanlong looked at Jiang Nan and smiled slightly.
This child is so polite and knows how to raise his hand when talking.
There have been rumors outside that he is the most handsome man in Kyoto, but in fact they are all rumors.
What a good kid.
And it is said that this strength is very extraordinary, and it is not the cultivation strength seen from the surface at all.
As the dean of the Hongwu Academy of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally knows very well about matters in Kyoto.
Of course I also know something about Jiang Nan.
"If it were anyone else, it would definitely not be possible, but Mr. Jiang, you should be able to."
Li Yuanlong said with a smile.
Although Jiang Nan came on behalf of the Demon Slayer Division and was a special envoy, he still called him Young Master to show his recognition of his previous status as 'Crown Prince'.
But after all, the emperor had accepted Jin Ce, and Jiang Nan was no longer the heir apparent, so he was called "gongzi".
However, as soon as his words came out, everyone present except Jiang Nan was startled.
Shangguan Jun said in surprise: "Dean, why can he? I admit that my brother is very strong, but his cultivation is there, and his soul cannot stop the evil spirit of the earth demon world from invading."
"Your brother?"
Li Yuanlong was also surprised.
Shangguan Jun was thick-skinned and not embarrassed. He pointed directly at Jiang Nan and said, "Yes, he is my brother. He is stronger than me. He killed a king on the way."
"What? Mr. Jiang killed a king?"
Li Yuanlong was shocked.
The other four deans were also shocked.
"really?"
Li Yuanlong looked at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. That person was only at the first level of the King Realm, and he was killed by me in a sneak attack with dozens of top-level Explosion Talisman. He didn't guard me at all. Killing him was purely a fluke.
.”
Only then did the four principals suddenly realize.
It turned out that he was killed with dozens of explosive talismans.
That makes sense.
Otherwise, how could he be killed?
Even a grandmaster can't do it.
Li Yuanlong was doubtful and looked at Shangguan Jun.
Shangguan Jun was about to explain in detail when Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Brother, just kidding, don't be too serious."
Shangguan Jun blinked: "..."
Is this a warning to me?
Then he skipped the topic and said to Li Yuanlong: "Dean, you haven't explained why Young Master Jiang can go to the Demon Realm."
"Oh, about this, you have to ask Mr. Jiang himself."
Li Yuanlong said with a smile.
Shangguan Jun turned to look at Jiang Nan.
Yongan and others also looked at Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan touched his chin and smiled: "The dean said this probably because I was not afraid of evil spirits when I was a torturer. Doesn't the dean know if what I said is right?"
Li Yuanlong nodded.
The four deans were very surprised.
Unexpectedly, Prince Yong’s son was not afraid of evil spirits.
You must know that the most terrifying thing in the earthly demon world is not actually the devil, but the omnipresent evil spirit.
After all, the devil can be avoided, but the evil spirit cannot be avoided.
Yong'an and Shangguanjun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had discovered a new world.
If Jiang Nan is not afraid of evil spirits, he will naturally have a huge advantage.
Once you join together, you will have a powerful helper.
"Have you always been unafraid of evil spirits?"
Yongan looked at Jiang Nan with his bright eyes and asked softly.
"For now, yes. After all, I haven't encountered a stronger evil spirit yet."
Jiang Nan said truthfully.
Yongan nodded lightly.
As the eldest princess, she still knows the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division.
The evil spirit is very strong there.
Although it is far inferior to the Earth Demon Realm, the impact of the evil spirit when killing monsters is actually not much different.
If Jiang Nan can not be afraid of the impact of the evil spirit, then he can survive in the earthly demon world.
As for how long he can stay there, it all depends on him.
Currently, even she can only stay there for one day.
As time passed, she couldn't bear it.
After all, evil spirits are constantly consuming the power of the soul.
If the soul is invaded by evil spirits, it is no joke.
If the soul is weakened, it will take at least several months of cultivation.
If it gets serious, it will go crazy.
Li Yuanlong said seriously to Jiang Nan:
"However, if Mr. Jiang wants to go, he must come back before he feels a little tired in his soul.
You must not show off your strength inside.
If you feel that your soul can no longer be maintained, it will probably be too late by then.
For specific precautions, go back to the Library to read the information on previous entries into the Demon Realm.
There is a more detailed introduction there.”
Jiang Nan clasped her fists: "Thank you very much, Mr. Dean."
…
In the library, Jiang Nan carefully read the information about the Earth Demon Realm.
Not only was he watching, but Shangguan Jun and Princess Yongan were also watching.
Although a lot of the information here has been seen before, there is also some new information.
At this time, they read it again, both old and new.
Obviously, they are very cautious about entering the earthly demon world.
Jiang Nan discovered a strange phenomenon from the information, that is, the Earth Demon Realm can only be entered by warriors below the Fierce Sun Realm, and cannot be entered by Grandmasters and above.
The reason turned out to be related to fluctuations in cultivation.
Once the fluctuation of cultivation exceeds the fourth-grade Fierce Sun Realm, that space will collapse and the entrance will automatically disappear.
Therefore, if you want to enter it, your cultivation level must not exceed that of a grandmaster, and the highest level can only be the peak of the Burning Sun Realm.
The college arranged for seven people to live in the palace and courtyard.
Beautiful environment.
Wang Cheng and others still live around Princess Yong'an.
It is their duty to guard the safety of the eldest princess.
Early the next morning, Jiang Nan got up.
I practiced sword skills in the courtyard.
Then wash up.
Someone brought him breakfast.
After eating breakfast.
Jiang Nan put on a black outfit before going out.
At this time, Shangguan Jun and Yong An were also ready.
Wearing the same black outfit, she was waiting for him at the door.
Jiang Nan cupped her fists and said, "Eldest Princess."
He clasped his fists at Shangguan Jun again: "Good morning, brother."
Shangguan Jun quickly clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Don't offend me, little brother, you are the elder brother."
Seeing the two people being so polite, Yongan smiled slightly.
Then he said: "Let's go."
Then he headed towards the back mountain with a palace in a familiar way.
Because the Grandmaster could not enter the Demon Realm, Wang Cheng and others did not follow him.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the back mountain.
A large hall is located on the mountainside.
Yongan took Jiang Nan into the main hall.
Dean Li Yuanlong is waiting there.
Seeing Yong'an coming, Li Yuanlong cupped his fists and saluted Yong'an: "Elder Princess."
Yongan nodded lightly.
Jiang Nan and Shangguan Jun clasped their fists and said, "Mr. Dean."
"No gift."
Li Yuanlong smiled.
"Come with me."
Then he led the three of them towards the depths of the hall.
Soon, they entered the heart of the mountain through a long corridor.
There is a room in the heart of the mountain.
The room is very spacious.
Inside is a teleportation array.
Li Yuanlong led the three of them to stand on the teleportation array, throwing out a few spirit stones and embedding them in the array.
Then the teleportation array lit up and the four people disappeared.
Jiang Nan felt dizzy.
But this dizziness disappeared after just a moment.
He appeared again, but in an empty and desolate place.
There was no grass on the ground, and there were exposed black rocks everywhere. The sky was gray, fog was rising in the distance, and visibility was very poor.
However, this is not the Earth Demon Realm.
Swish——
An old man appeared suddenly.
This man was wearing gray robes and had a gray beard.
But his eyes were very bright, like cold stars.
As soon as the old man appeared, Li Yuanlong quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the master."
The old man in gray clothes nodded: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Master."
Li Yuanlong said.
The dean’s master?
Jiang Nan didn't know, but Yongan and Shangguanjun knew who the people in front of them were.
It is Shang Zheng, the Supreme Elder of Hongwu College, who is the most powerful being in Hongwu College.
"Disciple pays homage to the Supreme Elder."
The two of them cupped their fists.
Although the two of them were already disciples of Taichu Academy, they were still disciples of Hongwu Academy, so they bowed to Shang Zheng as disciples to show their respect for this powerful man.
Jiang Nan clasped her fists: "Jiang Nan has met senior."
Shang Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted everyone up and said with a smile: "No courtesy."
Then he cupped his fist and saluted the eldest princess Yong'an: "Shang Zheng has met the eldest princess."
Each one calls his own.
After all, Yongan's identity is the eldest princess, so this etiquette cannot be discarded.
Then he turned to Jiang Nan and said with a smile: "Are you the son of Prince Yong?"
Jiang Nan clasped her fists, "It's this junior."
Shang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "A tiger father has no dog sons, that's good."
Jiang Nan:??
I was complimented out of nowhere, and I still don’t know why.
Is it because I'm handsome? It seems not.
At this time, Li Yuanlong said to Shang Zheng: "Master, all three of them can enter the earth demon world. Please help me open the passage."
Shang Zheng glanced at Jiang Nan and nodded, "Okay. Let's get started."
As he spoke, he punched forward with a punch.
The terrifying power instantly exploded the space in front of him, and then he pulled his hands to both sides, and a dark space passage appeared.
Li Yuanlong struck out with a palm, and a spiral force entered the dark space passage.
The passage was opened in an instant.
With the input of power from the two people, the channel grew wider and wider, and finally formed a vortex.
At the end of the whirlpool, I saw the Earth Demon Realm.
"Enter!"
Li Yuanlong shouted.
The three of them were well prepared for this, and immediately filed in, quickly jumped in, and followed the passage into the Earth Demon Realm in the blink of an eye.
