In the square around the stone pillar, groups of Yuanmo Sect disciples were shouting and exercising their bodies in preparation for practicing the Causeless Kung Fu to absorb demonic energy.
The stone pillars shining with blood-colored symbols stood quietly, motionless, as they had remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years.
But no one noticed that in the part of the stone pillar that penetrated deep into the ground, in a dark place without any light, a trace of cracks slowly spread like a spider web.
The cracks extend to the bottom, into the mysterious and closed stone room.
In the stone chamber, there was a huge black pot in the middle. Countless black air spread around it, almost completely covering the entire stone chamber floor.
The cracks spread from the bottom of the cauldron to the walls on both sides, and then extended from the walls to the stone pillars. The bottom of the stone pillars are actually connected to the stone chamber. The red light of the blood symbol is like a blood vessel, connected to the cauldron.
bottom of.
It's just that in places where the human eye cannot see, the red light has become fainter and fainter, replaced by countless gray foggy clouds.
Thousand Sails City.
In a huge fortress on the outskirts.
This is the military fort where the imperial court stationed the Shenwu Army. As the Shenwu Army is permanently stationed in Qianfan City and protects the safety of the nine surrounding cities, it is not only the largest military garrison, but also the largest prison nearby that holds the largest number of prisoners.
The black city wall, which is more than ten meters high, forms a large circle and surrounds the center into a ring shape.
Inside the ring are densely packed and orderly gray-black bungalows, with many criminals wearing uniforms wandering around inside.
These prisoners looked dull, had strange eyes, and muttered from time to time without knowing what they were talking about. Some of them wandered alone, and some gathered in groups, standing in one place with dull faces. There were also
He was squatting in the corner in despair, doing nothing, just in a daze.
There are no shackles on these prisoners, and there is only an invisible transparent barrier above the entire prison.
Huang Fu, accompanied by the warden and several officials, walked up to the city wall and looked around.
"How long has this been happening?" He frowned.
The warden kept wiping sweat with his handkerchief.
“It’s been more than half a month”
"There are more than two hundred special prisoners in total, and they are all like this?" Huang Fu asked again.
"Yes." The warden lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.
"It took you half a month to discover such a big plague and such a contagious disease?" Huang Fu was a little angry. Even though the Huang family was behind the imperial court, he still had the right to speak in the nearby Bailing City of Qianfan City.
It was bigger. But now that there was such a big problem, the warden actually found out and reported it more than half a month later.
"Please calm down, sir. We actually have a reason for this. This kind of infectious disease is difficult to detect. Just because the patient looks uncomfortable on the outside, we can't tell whether he is sick from the beginning," the warden explained helplessly.
Huang Fu breathed out.
He could see that these people all looked the same as the previous serial murder case. Their eyes were dull and unfocused. They looked like paralyzed fools, but they could move at will. If he guessed correctly, these people were very likely to be the same as that one.
Like a murderer, he has a heart problem.
"Where are the other ordinary prison areas?" Huang Fu asked casually.
"The general prison area is fine. Only a small number of people were infected. We quickly isolated them in time." The warden replied quickly.
Huang Fu shook his head slightly. At this time, Bai Xiu, who went to check the situation alone, also came back and quickly climbed up the city wall from behind and walked toward him.
Huang Fu looked towards him, only to see Bai Xiu shaking his head at him in disappointment.
"Exactly the same?" he asked.
"Exactly the same." Bai Xiu sighed.
"You go down first, we will call you again if something happens." Huang Fu waved away the officials around him.
All the officials hurriedly resigned, and everyone was so nervous that they were sweating profusely. The weather had obviously turned cold, which showed how nervous everyone was.
When everyone left, Huang Fu let out a long sigh.
"The situation is very serious. A total of thousands of people here and in front of us have gone crazy. They bite and hit anyone they see. It is also highly contagious and can be contracted almost immediately by touching them."
Bai Xiu nodded. "My people tried to investigate and found that the hearts of all people who have lost their minds will quickly dissolve and end up in a heartless state. If this continues, if the source can no longer be found, I am ready to apply.
The Four Fate Army has been mobilized."
The Four Ming Army maintains the security of this area and represents the large-scale force of the school. They are the strongest armies of the four schools. The generals of each army are concurrently served by the leader of the school, and some deputy generals are chiefs and some are deputy generals.
Party leader.
And Bai Xiu, the deputy general of Yanyun Army in Wanshun Palace, is qualified to mobilize the army.
"No, the Four Fate Army must not move lightly, especially in this critical period." Huang Fu rejected Bai Xiu's proposal, "I have set up a special investigation team to follow up and investigate the clues. I will wait a few days to see, and by the way, I will also
It depends on the intention of the hospital master. Now that the small alliance is around the corner, there must be no trouble."
"I understand what you mean." Bai Xiu nodded in agreement.
"Wait and see, wait and see for the news from Feiyu Sect." Huang Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and began to think. Suddenly, an inconspicuous rumor that he had heard before came to his mind inexplicably.
"Could all this be caused by the legendary monster? No, without the flesh and blood door, it is impossible for a monster to enter without being noticed.
Moreover, the demon clan has also been sealed off, making it even more impossible for it to leak out. So is it possible that it is a seal?"
The past seals flashed through his mind, and soon a place that was very likely to go wrong emerged in his mind.
Ten Thousand Cave Cave!
"There are still more than ten days left before the first month of searching for the sun. Before the small alliance has started, let's go check it out first." Huang Fu decided in his heart.
"By the way, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, right?" Bai Xiu changed the topic and said, "I don't have where to go this afternoon, so I might as well go to your house for a meal. I haven't eaten the food cooked by my sister-in-law for a long time."
"Didn't you just eat it yesterday?" Huang Fu said speechlessly.
"That's all in the past. Yesterday was yesterday. Why didn't you eat all today's food in one go?" Bai Xiu said confidently.
"Okay, okay! You kid!" Huang Fu was helpless. Thinking of his wife Rong'er at home, who was seven months pregnant and still insisted on cooking by herself, the anxiety in his heart quickly calmed down, and a trace of emotion slowly appeared on his face.
gentle.

Green flames burned in Lu Sheng's palm.
On the edge of the small lake of poisonous fog, he held the Yin Fire with one hand. The nine evil demons around him turned into nine groups of shadows of different shapes, frantically absorbing and devouring the water of the river of poisonous fog below. Then it transformed into a large amount of demonic energy.
Enter the yin fire to cause it to burn.
"It will feel more peaceful when you come back here and you won't be disturbed." Lu Sheng released Yin Mo with the intention of defending himself.
Even if the nine evil demons don't move, the various negative force fields emitted from their bodies can still prevent weaker creatures from getting close to them.
Since the Sanyin method was upgraded once, and the flames were strengthened, the amount of demonic energy obtained by burning the demonic energy became less and less.
"If you could get one unit of demonic energy by burning ten units of demonic energy before, then you can get one unit of demonic energy by burning fifteen units now, which is much more expensive." Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
"No matter, let's continue to improve first." He could clearly feel that his physical body began to further strengthen.
After continuously cultivating the demon body, Lu Sheng felt that he was at least several times stronger than before. Being able to get in close contact with the holy soldiers meant that he had successfully entered the upper third level.
It is rumored that those who reach the third level snake level can barely qualify to become a weapon master because they can withstand the radiation of the magic weapon.
And now that he has full access to the fragments of the Holy Weapon, he should have completely entered the upper third level and has the qualifications to master the Holy Weapon.
Of course, this is just his guess. In fact, if the bloodline compatibility is taken into account, he has actually surpassed the physical strength of the upper third level, but he doesn't know it.
The other upper third levels, whether from aristocratic families or schools, are able to barely meet the standard because their bloodline and holy weapons are highly compatible, so their radiation rejection is very weak.
In other words, the upper three levels of mastery of the Holy Weapons of the Aristocratic Family School are half-recommended and half-achieved by other people's Holy Weapons.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, doesn't care about anything, he'll just beat him up if he's caught!
You can imagine how big the gap is between half-promising and half-assed.
In fact, when Lu Sheng gathered all the demonic bodies, what he gained was not the power to contact the holy weapons but the power to suppress the fragments of the holy weapons.
Lu Sheng came back to his senses and stared at the Three Yin Method box on the dark blue modifier in front of him.
"Since it works, let's try to improve it. I want to see how high the Yin Fire can be improved by using the power of spiritual conquest!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his Chi Ji Jiu Sha Gong. The Chi Ji Jiu Sha Gong can actually burn invisible flames. It is a special flame ignited by the yang inner energy.
“It’s best to incorporate the characteristics of inner energy into it.”
While thinking this, he focused his attention on the Three Yin Method box.
'Unknown secret method: fourth level, special effects: three yin fires, flame enhancement level one.'
Awareness quickly clicks on the button behind the box.
The spiritual power passed quickly, and twenty units disappeared in the blink of an eye. The box also quickly blurred, and after a few breaths, it became clear again.
'Unknown secret method: fifth level, special effects: three yin fires, flame enhancement level two.'
As soon as he was promoted, Lu Sheng immediately felt that his whole body was as hot as being in an oven. A large amount of demonic energy in his body was refined and burned again, transforming into a more pure and dark powerful elemental demonic energy. And the demonic energy that appeared due to the burning and refining
The gap is made up by the continuous devouring and absorbing demonic energy from the outside world.
In the river of poisonous mist, with Lu Sheng as the center, a medium-sized slow whirlpool appeared in the entire lake.
Several giant snakes were swimming timidly around the perimeter, letting out uneasy growls from time to time. Ever since Lu Sheng tore one of their companions alive last time, they would hide away every time they saw Lu Sheng coming.
Originally, they thought that Lu Sheng would just drink some water and leave every time, but they didn't expect that this trip would be the same as before. He drank water until the water in the lake started to drop.
