The sky above the Magic Valley is covered with dark clouds.
The mountain-protecting formation turned into billowing black clouds in an instant, quickly converging toward the center, forming a huge vortex.
Zhang Qunyi had just been humiliated by Jiang Chen and had half of his body broken into pieces by a finger. When he looked up, he was panicked.
Regardless of the dignity of the swordsman, he didn't even want the sword. His spiritual pressure surged, and his body flashed away from directly under the vortex.
Wei Shan shouted towards Jiang Chen from a distance:
"Deputy Jiang...Senior Jiang, leave quickly!"
Jiang Chen thought to himself, in such a tense situation, this guy is still worried about exposing his identity as the deputy sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so as not to cause unnecessary war later. He is a talented person, and there is a reason why he can survive in the Demon Seeking Sect until now.
.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The central thunder array is finally here!
The demonic pressure of the Golden Core Realm was pressing on the top of his head, as if someone was holding a gun to his forehead.
The black-haired old man hung in the air with a majestic aura, as if he was integrated into the mountain guarding formation.
"I have one last question for you: should you work with us to save our disciples, or should you go along with that woman?"
Jiang Chen raised his hand and pointed.
Before the central thunderbolt hits the ground, a finger of pure Yang sword energy shoots up and penetrates the heart of the vortex.
The rolling vortex reversed and dispersed, the black clouds receded, and the mountain-protecting formation quickly returned to its original state, leaving only a hole as thick as a finger, which could not be closed for a long time.
Jiang Chen then asked the black-haired old man.
"What did you just say?"
The black-haired old man's expression froze.
He looked at Zhang Qunyi blankly.
Without saying a word, everyone flashed their bodies and scrambled to escape towards the Shengmen.
Jiang Chen was too lazy to chase after him.
Although, he didn't think these two were really good people who were trying to save the disciples of the Demon Sect.
The human disciples of the Seeking Demon Sect are almost extinct, and the survivors are almost all monsters that have adapted to the artificial demon core. It is impossible to survive without the formation.
These two people control the mountain-protecting formation. They actually have the ability to lead people out, but they have never done so. They are still trying to control him. They are obviously coveting the magic core.
The reason Jiang Chen didn't take action was that he felt that it was impossible for these two people to leave alive.
Sure enough, before the two of them escaped from the demonic cloud, they were killed by a sword energy.
It was obviously Chen Gongxing who did it.
Will I be the next one...Jiang Chen thought to himself, I have three lives, and I won't stop you Chen Gongxing.
He turned around and raised his hand to grab, and then pulled old Han Ping down from the sky and crawled to the ground.
"You old man, I came to save you out of kindness, but why are you acting like a normal person? And you won't say a word to me?"
Han Ping did not lose his temper, stood up, patted the soil, and said with a smile:
"If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been arrested by my friends, right? Only a fool would come to save someone."
Jiang Chen shrugged.
"That's all, I'm not here to save you."
Then he knelt down on one knee and slapped it down with one palm.
The earth cracked and spread.
Jiang Chen tore open the ground protective layer of the Demonic Valley, jumped down, and reached the spiritual furnace room in the center of the Demonic Core.
In the center of the spiritual furnace, there is an artificial magic core floating in the air.
The size is a little smaller than expected, about the size of three or five human heads.
The material of its outer shell is actually the keel of a shark dragon from the Golden Core Realm!
Isn't this a coincidence?
Jiang Chen thought to himself that maybe it was the shark bones dug up in the Fire Nation.
There are densely packed and deeply engraved spiritual patterns on the surface of the artificial magic core. As the formation is broken, a little blood seeps out.
It’s shark blood again!
Acts like a lubricant or a spiritual medium.
In addition, if you look carefully, there are indeed elements of illusion inside the artificial magic core.
However, it was difficult to detect it. Jiang Chen relied on his resonance consciousness and his familiarity with Liu Ruyan's illusion skills to see it.
Now, he had two choices before him.
The first is to get the Demonic Core with your own hands, then continue to delay, wait for Li Lingzhou to come, and take the opportunity to claim credit and join the job. Once you join the job, you will make great contributions, and your status will be different.
The second method is to use Soul Resonance to help Mo Yun dispel the illusion on the demon core, and go to Liyue together to see what Liyue wants to do with the artificial demon.
There is no doubt that Jiang Chen would choose the first option first.
At the moment, I don’t help to dispel the illusion on the magic core, and directly put the magic core into the system inventory.
【Item】:
Jindan Realm Artificial Demon Core × 1;
With the demon core gone, Jiang Chen had no choice but to release his own demon energy, coupled with the power of resonance, to forcibly prop up the demon body without collapsing.
Old man Han Ping looked strange and stared at Jiang Chen for a long time.
"Where did you just put the magic core? Why didn't I see it on you?"
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, this old man could even see the things in the ring?
"I put it in the Najie. Pay attention to your identity. You are just a minor cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. How can you tell that?"
Han Ping didn't find out the answer and didn't stare anymore. He just stroked his beard and sighed:
"So you are also here to find the magic core."
Jiang Chen only said:
"I'm here to rescue two girls. Isn't it too much to pick up a magic core and make some extra money?"
Han Ping nodded slightly and smiled meaningfully.
"You yourself are much rarer than the magic core. Don't waste your life in such a small place."
It seems that this old man does have a powerful self. Maybe he is a big brother. He cannot be easily offended, but he cannot let him underestimate him, otherwise he will not be able to hold him.
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and said:
"It doesn't matter, my boss... no, my wife is Li Lingzhou, the prison chief of Xihe Town. She is on the way. Who dares to kill me?"
Wei Shan stared at Jiang Chen in surprise, thinking he heard something wrong.
"You...are you still the prison envoy of Xihe Town?"
Jiang Chen shrugged and said without any secret:
"Of course, how can you travel around the world with only one identity?
I have many identities, I am the prison envoy of Xihe Town, the emperor of Xiyang City, and the deputy sect leader of the Tianmo Sect."
Don’t worry, just know that my purpose is to maintain world peace.”
This was mainly meant for Han Ping and Chen Gongxing.
Wei Shan couldn't see through Jiang Chen at all, but no matter what, he had the Lord's approval and it was impossible for him to question it.
"I didn't expect that the Prison Suppression Department has already targeted the Demon Seeking Sect."
Jiang Chen curled his lips.
"You're overthinking, Li Lingzhou... No, my wife is focused on money. Who cares about the life and death of the Demon-Qiu Sect except me?"
At this moment, Jiang Chen heard a rustling above his head.
Looking up, he saw that the mountain guard formation that had just been penetrated by his finger had been filled with small holes.
In the blink of an eye, a black ball as big as a human head slowly fell down, spinning in the air and making a rustling sound.
The surface of Yanqiu is full of pits and pits, resembling the shape of the moon, and is crawling with bugs painted in pen and ink.
He even patched the mountain guard formation!
Jiang Chen looked at it for a long time, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. The little Taoist nun before suddenly turned into a ball.
This time, as if afraid of being heard by the two girls, Mo Yun changed his voice to another one, which was somewhat similar to Liu Ruyan.
"Your sword energy indeed comes from Li Lingzhou.
But you don't look like someone from the Prison Department.
If you can really get rid of the illusion on the magic core, you can go to another place with me and do some real work.
As for money...you can have as much as you want."
Jiang Chen reached out and patted Mo Yun's little ball and said:
"You first give me one hundred thousand spiritual stones to prove it, and then I will return the magic core to you, or go to Liyue with you."
Wei Shan and the two girls were shocked.
This ball... is actually Li Yue's person, or is it Li Yue's magic weapon?
Mo Yun didn't make any excuses, he just said:
“Actually, I have been borrowing money to survive.
I came to the Demon Sect just to verify a certain technology.
The magic core in your hand is not important to me, what is important is you...if you can really get rid of the illusion inside it."
Jiang Chen spread his hands.
"Since you have no money, there is no point in negotiating."
Saying this, Jiang Chen turned to look at the hidden corner behind him and asked:
"I'm leaving, do you still want to stop me, Deacon Chen?"
Chen Gongxing never expected that he would be discovered after just killing two people from a distance... and even have his identity exposed.
Deacon Chen?
Could it be that this boy is still a disciple of Qinglan Sect?
Now, when his name was mentioned, he couldn't hide, so he had to jump out.
He glanced at Han Ping and determined that this person was the master that Gui Qizhen cherished.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen's demonic body maintained by resonating demonic energy, and asked:
"Have I seen you somewhere?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said:
"Deacon Chen has forgotten the disciple, but the disciple dare not forget the jade slips that Deacon Chen gave me. Only in this way can the disciple be able to cultivate the resonance of all things."
Chen Gongxing suddenly remembered the disciple who stared at his wheat field for a long time on Qingxin Peak.
At that time, I felt that this person was a good candidate for practicing the resonance of all phenomena, but I didn’t expect to learn it so quickly.
Looking at his realm, he is not inferior to him!
And two months ago, this guy just refined his Qi, and two months later he built his foundation... With such a good talent, why is he so good at resonating with all things?
He was puzzled and found it hard to ask questions.
He ignored Jiang Chen and turned towards the spherical ink cloud shaped like the Liyue escape boat. He cupped his fists and said respectfully:
"I am Chen Gongxing, the apostle of Liyue. I came to the Qiu Mo Sect this time to ensure that the senior experiment is carried out normally. Is the experiment over?"
Mo Yun said:
"Chen Gongxing... I have never heard of this name."
Chen Gongxing hurriedly said:
"The younger generation has been walking for hundreds of years and has only recently become an apostle."
Mo Yun said:
"The experiment is over. Unfortunately, it's not perfect yet."
Chen Gongxing vaguely saw the problem, stared at Jiang Chen, and volunteered:
"Senior, do you want a magic core or a human being?"
Unexpectedly, Mo Yun shook the ball.
"No need."
Chen Gongxing was puzzled.
"Why?"
Mo Yun only said:
"If you take him away, Li Lingzhou or Qianmianhu will locate the position of Li Yue's rudder.
It would be a pity to kill him.
Keeping him alive will always be useful in the future."
Chen Gongxing suddenly felt a little out of favor. He was a strong man in the distraction realm, and he had also cultivated the resonance of all phenomena, but he was not as useful as a minor foundation-building cultivator?
"Li Lingzhou...is he really that strong? I really want to wait for her to come and see."
Mo Yun said:
"I don't know if she is strong or not. Anyway, Xihe Jiange has nothing to do with her. She has ruined Li Yue's plans many times, but she is still alive today."
Chen Gongxing's face froze and he hurriedly said:
"Let's go quickly. I'm in a hurry to go home and harvest wheat."
Mo Yun stared at Han Ping and issued the order again.
"Kill Han Ping, he knows many secrets."
Chen Gongxing frowned slightly. He didn't want to kill Han Ping, so he said casually:
"It's better to take Liyue back and kill him again."
Mo Yun was a little surprised.
"Don't you know that apostles also have levels? Not long after you became the apostle of Liyue, you dare to disobey me?"
Chen Gongxing quickly explained respectfully:
"Senior Han Ping is the common ancestor of me and the young man just now. There may be value in bringing Li Yue back. He only has Qi refining skills. He may be the clone of a strong man. If he is killed, he will become an enemy."
When Han Ping heard this, he nodded quickly and said:
"Ah, yes, you suddenly have an idea!"
History reappears.
Before leaving, Han Ping stroked his beard and stared at Jiang Chen.
"It's a pity that the old man's great reputation was ruined in one day and he went to Liyue to become a bad guy."
Jiang Chen asked him:
"So, if you let people cultivate demons, they are not bad people?"
Han Ping caressed his beard, which means a lot:
"It depends on what kind of thing is broken.
We will meet again, and I believe Jiang Shaoxia will one day call me Master."
After that, a larger Liyue escape boat wrapped the three of them and rolled up into a spiral space.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the Demon-Seeking Sect.
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded and actually opened a new passage inside the abyss and left.
In Shenglong Continent, you can open an abyss passage to leave.
In the abyss, is it possible to open a continental passage to leave?
Wouldn't it be slower?
In any case, all the enemies were gone, and Jiang Chen got the artificial magic core as he wished.
Things went so smoothly.
It seems that Li Lingzhou's reputation really worked.
"Let's go, go back to Tianmo Sect first."
At this time, the two little fox girls were unhappy.
"Have you forgotten the agreement you made with Sister Yun?"
"Let's go find Sister Yun!"
Only then did Jiang Chen realize that the two children had not discovered that the ball was Mo Yun until now.
"Isn't the ball just now your sister Yun?"
The two girls thought Jiang Chen was lying to them.
"How is that possible!"
"Take us to Hanyun Peak quickly."
Jiang Chen didn't bother to explain anything, so he knocked them unconscious and held it in his hand.
Later, he invaded Weishan's sea of consciousness with resonant demonic energy and helped him stabilize his demonic core... In this way, he would not die even if he left the mountain-protecting formation.
At this moment, the mountain-protecting formation finally couldn't hold on anymore, and exploded with the body of Demon Cloud.
Jiang Chen led the three of them, jumped out of the exploding magic cloud, and left the Demon Seeking Sect together.
However, as soon as they went out and before summoning Mo Kun, several people were targeted by the abyss ship.
Being too close to the Abyss Ship, Jiang Chen knew he couldn't escape, so he simply raised his hands and surrendered.
Wei Shan was puzzled and asked Jiang Chen in a low voice:
"That's a patrol boat from Nishiga Prefecture. How can we surrender?"
Jiang Chen said:
"Idiot, I am also a public official in Xihe Prefecture. Surrender first to save my life, and then I will find a way to return to the Demon Sect!"
Before Jiang Chen was captured into the Abyss Ship, he drew his sword behind him.
The purpose of creating ripples in the abyss is to remind the Demon Sect that he has a way to solve everything and not to follow.
Afterwards, a small landing craft flew out of the abyss ship. There were two Jindan monks in military robes, who checked the physical fitness of Jiang Chen and others, confiscated the Najie, and asked for their identities.
Jiang Chen reported his identity:
"I am Jiang Chen, the Bing-class prison envoy of Xihe Prefecture. I am currently lurking in the Demon Seeking Sect to investigate the matter of man-made demon cores.
These three people are all my informants.
Who are you?"
The two Jindan realm soldiers did not pay attention to Jiang Chen, but opened the jade slips and checked the latest list of prison envoys.
There really is a person like Jiang Chen in the West Hezhou Town Prison Envoy. He has not officially joined the post and has no specific assessment tasks.
Carefully inspecting the remaining three people, one demon sect disciple and two half-demon, all have artificial demon cores and demon pills.
"It turns out he is mute."
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Jiang Chen smiled and said to Wei Shan.
Later, Jiang Chen and others were detained into the Abyss Ship.
Jiang Chen entered the interior of the keel flying boat for the first time.
The corridor is narrow and surrounded by formations. The armor inside is made of gold and iron to a very high degree and is full of cold military style.
Jiang Chen dispersed his consciousness and discovered that there were not many patrols, and there were even less than a hundred people on the ship.
Many demons and even human monks were imprisoned.
Afterwards, the four people were taken to a dark room.
The formation was activated, and four red lights fell on the heads of the four people.
"As long as I'm here, there's nothing to worry about."
Jiang Chen comforted the three of them.
He could tell at a glance that this was the soul-searching formation!
Fortunately, no one in this world can search for his soul.
The resonance of his soul spread rapidly, covering Wei Shan and the two girls, making it impossible for the soul-searching array to find any exact memories.
Subsequently, the four people were put into three cells.
Jiang Chen resonated with the pure Yang sword energy in his body and tried to get in touch with Li Lingzhou.
"The treasure and first-class merit have been obtained, but they are about to be taken away by the abyss ship of the Special Service Department... If you come later, I will be dissected and investigated."
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe with the Dao Alliance sword emblem embroidered on his chest came to the cell to receive Jiang Chen.
He has an average build, rare short silver-white hair, no bun, sharp eyes, a collapsed nose, and scars.
At his waist is a large sword from the Daigan Yudao Army.
He is actually a strong person in the state of distraction!
Jiang Chen understood that he was the leader of this abyss ship.
The middle-aged man looked around Jiang Chen, but still couldn't see why the soul-searching formation couldn't search for his soul.
"I am He Zhaiyuan from the Special Service Department of Xihezhou Prefecture, and I am here to investigate the disappearance of the Demon Seeking Sect.
You are one of only four survivors.
Your vow is empty.
What happened to the Demon Seeking Sect?
Where is the artificial magic core?”
He spoke so fast, like a barrage of cannonballs, that Jiang Chen only heard the last sentence and asked him:
"How do you know there is an artificial magic core?"
The middle-aged man wielded a long sword and had a straight face.
"We also have informants in the Demon Seeking Sect, but it's a pity that he died inside when the monster exploded."
Jiang Chen felt a little strange.
"Involving the Demon Sect, it should be within the scope of my responsibilities as the Prison Suppressor, and it should not be under the administrative control of the state government, right?"
The middle-aged man always keeps a straight face and does not smile.
"There are man-made monsters in the Demon Seeking Sect. Once it involves something more dangerous, our authority is above that of the Prison Suppression Department."
Jiang Chen was too lazy to explain anything, so he only said:
"Okay, you release my three informants, and I will go back to Xihe Jiange with you."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"No.
We will not go to Xihe Jiange, but to the location of Daqian garrison in Xiliang Prefecture next door.
Your three informants will also come with us."
Jiang Chen's eyes darkened slightly, feeling that something was wrong with this ship.
"Isn't this illegal?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice:
"This matter is not trivial and can only be handled according to military regulations."
Jiang Chen didn't give in to him either.
"It's no small matter, so you can sacrifice me and my friends?"
The middle-aged man said again:
"When we go to the Xiliang Prefecture garrison, if it is proven that you are not involved in the man-made monster project, we will naturally let you go."
Jiang Chen questioned without hesitation:
"What if you lie to me? I still suspect that you are Li Yue pretending to be you? I only have foundation building cultivation, how can I tell the difference? The only correct thing is to go to Xihe Jiange first."
The middle-aged man did not intend to reason with Jiang Chen, so he instantly dispersed the spiritual pressure of the distraction realm and said intimidatingly:
"Do you think you can go against the entire dynasty? If you disrupt the official business of the Secret Service, even if you are the jailer of Xihe Prefecture, I have the right to kill you on the spot."
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and remained unmoved.
In his opinion, the middle-aged man would not kill him before investigating the whereabouts of the magic core.
"Then try it."
The middle-aged man stared at Jiang Chen with a gloomy expression.
The spiritual pressure falling on Jiang Chen continued to rise, causing his bones to crack and the sea of energy to surge.
At this moment!
A sword energy, like a golden pillar of heaven, instantly penetrated the abyss ship and fell down, grazing the tip of Jiang Chen's nose.
The formation inside the ship was broken, and the spiritual energy exploded instantly, spraying out from the two bowl-sized gaps above and below.
Alarms sounded one after another in the abyss ship.
Fortunately, the defensive formation quickly made up for the gap in the sword energy, preventing the hull from collapsing.
He Zhaiyuan looked up and down, but he didn't realize where the sword energy came from.
"Who is it!"
A clear female voice mixed with the aroma of bad wine, lingering around.
"Is it you who stole the credit from my Xihe Town Prison Supervisor?"
Behind the voice, a figure in blue holding a small wine jar slowly floated down and appeared behind the middle-aged man.
The sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with a faint light and a drunken face, are as white as the moon and rosy as day. The slender and graceful figure is outlined by the blue robe to outline the heroism. The wine color in the eyes is mixed with the sword aura, creating a dense atmosphere.
of picture scroll.
It was Jiang Chen who appeared after repeated summons: Li Lingzhou!
The middle-aged man sensed the danger and quickly moved to the other side, behind Jiang Chen, using Jiang Chen as a shield.
"Who are you?"
Li Lingzhou came close to Jiang Chen and patted the dust and demonic energy off his body. Unexpectedly, this kid actually became a demon by establishing his foundation.
Fortunately, it is an artificial magic core, so it does not affect joining the Prison Suppression Department.
After all, the Prison Suppression Department has many man-made demons lurking in various major demon sects.
Not only has his cultivation improved, but Jiang Chen's temperament has also become a bit more domineering.
If it weren't for the pure Yang sword energy in Jiang Chen's body, she would hardly recognize Jiang Chen.
"You can come later so that your sword energy can be dissected out."
Jiang Chen deliberately stirred up trouble.
Li Lingzhou curled her red lips and said with a mouthful of wine:
"I'm still serving my sentence, which is enough to give you face."
Opposite, the middle-aged man had already drawn his long sword and had vaguely heard some anecdotes about Li Lingzhou.
Fortunately, the other party was wearing an old-style prison uniform. At least he was a public official in Jiange, so he would not have any scruples.
"Who are you!"
Li Lingzhou asked him:
"I have never seen you in Xihezhou. I should ask who you are."
The middle-aged man hurriedly said:
"I am He Zhaiyuan, the Special Service Department of the Xiliang Prefecture Imperial Army. This is a special mission of the Special Service Department. It is highly confidential. You'd better not get involved."
At this time, more Yudao troops followed, but no one dared to approach.
Li Lingzhou took a sip of the free wine in the prison and looked up. Only then did he realize that the hole in the hull that had been pierced by the sword energy had been repaired.
"Speaking of which, don't you need to pay compensation if I damaged your boat?"
The middle-aged man naturally knows that no matter what the opponent's cultivation level is, the person who can pierce the hull of a ship with sword energy will definitely not be inferior to him.
"There is no need to compensate, but this Jiang Chen must be investigated together with me."
Li Lingzhou understood.
"It seems that you really want to take my credit?
That's all, I'm not the kind of person who cares about reputation.
As long as you pay me a merit fee of one hundred thousand spirit stones, he will be yours."
After that, he casually pushed Jiang Chen to the middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen predicted his move in advance, and appeared behind her in a flash, and actually followed suit:
"One hundred thousand is too little."
One hundred thousand spirit stones is not a small sum, this woman clearly wants to blackmail you!
The middle-aged man's face was gloomy, and his pressure gradually rose.
"Do you want to be an enemy of the dynasty?"
Li Lingzhou was halfway through his drink when he suddenly reached up from the altar with one hand and grabbed the middle-aged man with the other.
He bound the middle-aged man's throat with invisible sword energy, and actually lifted him up from the air, looking sideways.
