Chapter 256 A new attempt

In the Jinyi Guardhouse, Xue Cheng looked at the relevant files in his hands and frowned.

Several files were preserved with vermillion lacquer and beeswax, and were obviously documents with a high level of confidentiality.

However, at this moment, they have all been opened by Xue Cheng, and several documents have been put together. The titles of several of the documents are quite eye-catching.

The underground demon in Jianyi.

The Yaodu Iron Dan Divine Fist slays demons.

King Kong kills the tiger in Wuyi Mountains.

Jiujiang County Yangtze River sword kills crocodile and dragon.

…

"Nowadays, demons appear more and more frequently. Is this a blessing or a curse?"

Xue Cheng shook his head. It had only been a few months, and hundreds of demons had been killed in Jiujiang County alone, or even more.

It is really worrying. If the country is about to fall, there must be monsters. But now, there is not just one monster, but monsters everywhere.

Xue Cheng was worried in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He quietly waited for the commander-in-chief in front of him to make a report.

"Master Baihu, this is just the gathering of demons investigated by Jinyiwei. The relevant information exchanged with the Six Gates has not been submitted yet, but I think it won't be much different. I have already asked my colleagues what they killed.

Monsters do not live alone, most of them live in groups..."

"Your Majesty's conjecture is probably correct. There is an organization in the darkness that is raising demons and is constantly accumulating strength in the dark. Whether it is Jianyi, Yaodu or Jiujiang County, there are such gathering places for demons..."

Xue Cheng's eyes flashed.

"You mean someone wants to rebuild the Demon City?"

"It's just a guess. With the current scale, it is absolutely impossible to rebuild the Demon City."

The general in charge of the report said firmly.

The Demon City was before Daxia, and before Daxia was established, all the kingdoms on this land were fighting each other. At the same time, the power of demons was the strongest, and a demon kingdom was established.

In those days, the demon clan fed on human blood and once ruled the earth.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that the concept of human race was condensed and the demon race was completely separated.

In the early days of the founding of the country, Daxia and the demons fought to the death, chasing the demons to the sky with no way out, and with no way into the earth.

At that time, there were basically not many demons on the land of Daxia. The powerful demon saints were either sealed or directly killed. The demon clan was leaderless, and the human race had truly stepped onto the stage of this world.

Today's demons are once again thriving, and they seem to be everywhere, but in fact they are far from the state they were in the past. They have just been hurt before, so Jin Yiwei is a little wary.

Xue Cheng was reading the files alone inside, actually still thinking about what happened yesterday.

"Then why did the Man in the Iron Mask accept Yang You as his disciple? Did he open the way for Yang You to integrate into the Six Doors? Did he want to drive a nail into the Six Doors so that Yang You would be in a high position in the future?"

Yesterday's demon body and today's files could not move Xue Cheng, but it was Yang You who moved Xue Cheng.

Therefore, the demons killed yesterday were greater than his contribution to being promoted to the position of Jinyiwei Baihuli, but it was the work of a knight-errant, and the court would often only give verbal rewards and would not allow him to serve in the court.

What's more, the person yesterday was mysterious and didn't show much trace. Therefore, such a big credit was just floating there, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

What really concerned him was that Yang You was actually able to get the skills taught by that figure. Although he had been in contact with the man in the iron mask many times, he only received advice.

He had achieved many great achievements, but he had yet to be truly taught the skills by the man in the iron mask, so I felt a little jealous for a moment.

"Huh, I don't know what this person is planning."

Xue Cheng thought of the Emperor's Sword inexplicably, and felt pressure in his heart.

"Could it be that you are paving the way for a certain prince?"

Jin Yiwei and the Six Gates are both extremely powerful departments with tentacles all over the world. If they can get the support of the people in Jin Yiwei and the Six Gates, it will undoubtedly be a huge help for a prince, and it is very likely that he will help him.

Pushed to the throne.

But if you are caught in such a battle between heaven and dragon, if you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe, and even the whole family will be destroyed.

If possible, Xue Cheng is not willing to enter such a whirlpool.

"But many times it's not up to you to choose!"

Xue Cheng sighed in his heart.

His family only had a certain degree of influence and power in Jiangnan West Road. It had already cost a lot to promote him to the position of a few hundred households. It would be quite difficult to move up further.

If you want to become a thousand households in the future, even go to the next level.

Basically, it can only rely on personal efforts. But to reach that kind of status and realm, it is impossible to reach that level by relying on personal efforts. Without a great background and without huge achievements, there is no need to even think about it.

"I hope I'm overthinking it!"

Xue Cheng sighed heavily. If he was asked to give up and become his royal guard from now on, he would not be willing to do so.

When I was in Jianyi, I didn't feel much about it after staying there for many years. Only after I came to Jiujiang County did I realize how prosperous the world is.

The abundance of oil and water here, the development of shipping, and the prosperity of commerce are simply rare.

He sat calmly in his position, and his daily income was terrifyingly large, and these incomes did not require him to do any messy things, as long as he lawfully enforced the law.

There is no shortage of resources for daily practice. After capturing Xue Dao, the family even sent a master-level figure to give him careful guidance and cultivate his martial arts. There were also dedicated people to teach him how to behave as an official.

In days like this, every step he took was something he couldn't imagine in the past, and he didn't want to give up.

The man in the iron mask seemed to only help him before, but now there is another person.

Thinking of Yang You, Xue Cheng felt a sense of pride and a sense of urgency in his heart.

Compared to Yang You, his strength has now reached the realm of true essence, and he can be considered outstanding in the local area.

At the same time, he is a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household, and he is still in Jiujiang County. That is a first-class salary, and he does not know how much more than Yang You.

But Yang You's performance yesterday really shocked him.

I have never practiced cultivation before. As soon as I set foot on the path of cultivation, I have to perform the three steps of muscle-changing, marrow cleansing, and blood transfusion at the same time. This kind of cultivation talent is really fast and scary. Now, as soon as I enter the six doors, there are those eight heads.

The demon’s contribution comes first, and there is no shortage of relevant cultivation resources.

There is also a martial arts inheritance left behind by that person between his eyebrows, and there is no shortage of martial arts guidance.

He directly occupied four of the four most important elements of Dharma, wealth, companionship, and earth cultivation.

There is a cultivation method, and there is no shortage of cultivation finances to enter. At the same time, it is among the six gates, so there is no need to worry too much about territory and the like.

As for the companion, having the inheritance of the top figures left in his mind is more useful than anyone who can give guidance and make progress together on the path of spiritual practice.

If you really start practicing, I'm afraid you will catch up with him on the road of practice soon.

"Oh, this talent is really scary."

…

"Oh, it's really sad that I don't have enough cultivation talent."

In a house not far from Jinyi Guardhouse, Zhang Mingtu sighed softly.

He still had enough training resources to reach the peak of the True Yuan Realm. He had swallowed up all the demon blood and inner elixirs in his stomach in just one night.

Only then did his seemingly never-ending hunger subside a little. The ubiquitous life essence and vigorous vitality were all swallowed into his stomach, but there was not much sense of existence in his body.

The lines of Heavenly Dao imitated from the body of a real dragon were like a glutton, swallowing them all up.

It's just that although he has the ability of gluttony, his digestion ability has not caught up with the Tibetan people. He can only feel the endless life essence in his body, as if he is in another world, but these essences have not been completely digested.

The body is slowly but surely becoming stronger, and that is from a more subtle level, not from simple bones and flesh, but from deeper changes at the cellular or even genetic level.

Zhang Mingtu looked inside himself and could see a little bit of gold flashing at the root of his bone marrow in the deepest part of his bloodline.

As the bone marrow forms blood, and then the heart beats, the golden blood flows throughout the body, and the whole body is filled with energy, and the true energy originally stored to the limit in the body becomes even rarer.

It's not that the true essence has really become less, but that the container has become larger.

The Dantian has obviously not performed any other movements in these days, but it is even wider.

The meridians in the body become stronger, and the true energy moves more smoothly

If the meridians were originally filled with canals, now they are more like a wide river.

And Zhang Mingtu knew clearly that if he could truly succeed in cultivation in the future, his meridians would be as strong and broad as rivers, and his true Dantian would be as boundless as the sea.

He has seen the state of the true dragon body when it is fully formed.

He touched his stomach. Although the vast life essence seemed to be stored in another world and had not been digested, Zhang Mingtu still felt that it was not enough.

This is not some inexplicable psychology, but he can detect it with a subtle sense, and it is a notification from the heavenly network.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be the case. At least the being known as Yu Long did not have such an exaggerated desire for cultivation resources when practicing.

"There are acquired factors. Beings created the day after tomorrow are born to consume so much energy. On the one hand, they solidify the patterns of heaven, and on the other hand, it seems that the heaven and earth are restricting..."

Zhang Mingtu took detailed notes while feeling the subtle changes in his body.

This was the research method he taught to Yu Long, who also humbly adopted it, and both of them have strictly abided by the relevant disciplines during practice.

His future brother has reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level, which is definitely good in the eyes of the world, but it doesn't mean much in the eyes of a Martial Saint.
