As an eighth-level extreme person, Xu Jingming has a long lifespan and is naturally patient enough.
On the road of evolution, every step must be steady. If you are impatient and go astray, your spiritual power may stagnate or even decline.
"Go to the World of Demons." Xu Jingming immediately turned into light and flew into the scene of the World of Demons.
The world of demons.
Xu Jingming and Wu Qi, master and servant, had already arrived in front of a huge and towering city.
"It deserves to be a state city." Xu Jingming looked at the majestic city in front of him. The city wall was dozens of feet high and stretched on both sides with no end at a glance. There were also a large number of guards on the city wall.
"This is the center of the entire Chiyun Prefecture." Wu Qi, whose hair has turned gray, looked at the city in front of him in wonder, "I heard that the length and width of the city are over three hundred miles, with a population of tens of millions. Over the years, we have traveled all over the country
After visiting various prefectures in Chiyun Prefecture, we finally arrived at the prefecture city.
Xu Jingming nodded.
He has been in Chiyun Prefecture for so many years. There are hundreds of prefectures in Chiyun Prefecture, and each prefecture is quite vast. On average, Xu Jingming has traveled through ten prefectures and visited a large number of counties in one year. His travels are fast enough.
"I was born in Chiyun Prefecture, so I naturally have to come to the prefecture city to take a look, walk, and enter the city." Xu Jingming took Wu Qi into the city along the broad city gate.
On top of the city wall, there were many guards overlooking it.
"Um?"
One of the black-armored guards glanced at Xu Jingming, took out a thick book from his arms, flipped through it quickly, and reached one of the pages——
Wu Ming: A high-level demon-slayer (suspected to be in the eighth level). He was born in the Chen family in Bai County, Cheng'an Prefecture. His real name is 'Chen Qi', and he was later renamed Wu Ming. This person travels around all prefectures and counties in Chiyun Prefecture and has a chivalrous heart.
, he will also take action when encountering weak demons, and has killed more than a hundred earth demons so far, which is hard to count for ordinary demons.
He once stood up for ordinary people and fought with the high-level demon-slayer 'Zhang Ke'! Zhang Ke was defeated and fled in embarrassment.
Later, a heavenly demon, Zhang Ke and three other high-level demon conquerors besieged Wu Ming. In this battle, the two sides could not decide the winner.
Wu Ming traveled around the country, carrying a gun pouch, and was followed by an old servant with a hunchback named Wu Qi. Wu Qi was good at swordsmanship.
"Wu Ming, the demon-slayer?" The black-armored guard looked at the portrait attached to the paper. The portrait was lifelike, exactly like Xu Jingming walking with a gun pouch on his back.
"Another high-level demon-slayer has arrived. We must report it immediately." The black-armored guard told his companions and immediately quietly descended from the city wall.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi came to a restaurant, sat down by the window, ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes, and started chatting while eating.
"As expected of Zhoucheng, the craftsmanship is really good." Wu Qi ate happily and praised.
"How can you open such a restaurant in Zhoucheng without some craftsmanship?" Xu Jingming held the wine glass and looked at Wu Qi in front of him. Uncle Qi has been taking good care of him over the years. Xu Jingming is not a hard-hearted person. After getting along with him for a long time,
I also feel that Uncle Qi is like my relative and friend.
"Uncle Qi is getting older, so they signed a contract in reality, deceived their memories, came to the world of demons, and became the original residents of the world. But the contracts are all for a certain period. Once the period is up, their life span is up, and they will all die. In reality
Wake up." Xu Jingming said secretly.
No matter who he is, even if he is a demon, his obsession is said to be immortal and immortal.
But when the time comes, everyone must die.
After all, in reality, almost all of their planetary lifespans are limited, and they cannot stay in the world of demons forever.
"Uncle Seven, I don't know how long it will be until the deadline." Xu Jingming thought.
suddenly--
A man walked in at the door of the restaurant. He was fair-skinned and it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. He was dressed in white and walked to Xu Jingming's table with a smile.
"Brother Wu Ming, can I sit down?" the man in white said.
"It turns out to be Brother Mijia, please." Xu Jingming nodded and walked around various prefectures and counties in Chiyun Prefecture. He still had information about high-level demon-slayers in the prefecture, so he naturally recognized him.
The man in white glanced at Wu Qi, then smiled at Xu Jingming and said, "I have heard of Brother Wu Ming's name for a long time, but Brother Wu Ming travels all over the country, and his whereabouts are unpredictable, so we have never had a chance to meet him. Until today, Brother Wu Ming finally came to the state.
The city is here."
"You can go wherever you want, we are all at home." Xu Jingming said, "Brother Mijia, are you looking for me for something?"
"The sect I belong to, the Holy Light Sect, is quite influential in Chiyun Prefecture. There are nine high-level demon slayers in the sect! I am here today to invite you, Brother Wu Ming, to join." Mi Jia, the man in white, said.
, "After joining, we can join forces to deal with the demon, and the hope of catching the demon will be greater."
"The devil is hard to catch." Xu Jingming nodded.
Disaster.
In the more than ten years since he came to the world of demon-slaying, he has only encountered a demon once.
That demon was disguised as the concubine of a wealthy businessman, and she lived a seemingly ordinary life. Xu Jingming couldn't even tell that she was restrained. Xu Jingming was willing to help ordinary people. When investigating a case, he found out
The concubine at the source.
There was a confrontation between the two sides. Although Xu Jingming had the upper hand, he could not win the concubine.
At this time, Zhang Ke, a high-level demon-buster who came to vent his anger, and two companions, secretly launched a sneak attack, hoping to seize the opportunity to take away the demon. Xu Jingming fought back angrily, and the demon took advantage of the grudge between the two waves of demon-buster and captured him.
Seize the opportunity and escape.
"The demons each have their own powerful methods. It is difficult to find them, and even harder to kill them." Mijia smiled and said, "But if we work together, we can control them more."
"I understand the good intentions, and I have not joined any force for so many years." Xu Jingming said, "I have no such thoughts now."
Mi Jia said softly: "Let me tell you some news. In the past six months, eight high-level demon-slayers have been killed in the city."
"Oh?" Xu Jingming's face changed slightly.
Even if there is a conflict between demon-slayers, they rarely kill each other directly. Because they know very well that even if they kill, they will only create a new account!
100 million cosmic coins, maybe the seventh-level starry sky life is very distressed. But for the eighth-level extreme high-level demon-slayer... it's really not worth mentioning.
"Is it a demon?" Xu Jingming asked.
Mi Jia nodded and said: "We have also found some information about the dead high-level demon-slayers. They did die in the hands of the demon."
Xu Jingming nodded. As long as he has contact information on the Virtual World Network, he can naturally inquire about the cause of death.
"The demons who took action are not the same one." Mi Jia said, "In other words, there is a force composed of demons who are killing high-level demon-slayers. At this time, it would be better for Brother Wu Ming to join the force.
"
"Thank you Brother Mijia for the news, I will think about it carefully." Xu Jingming said, although he is not afraid of death, but death-
,
Secondly, the magic weapon that I have worked hard to refine will be lost, and I have to re-establish an account and practice again, which is also very troublesome.
Mi Jia picked up the wine glass, toasted Xu Jingming, and then left.
Except for Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi, no one else in the restaurant noticed when he came in and left.
"Young Master." Wu Qi was a little worried, "According to this man's suggestion, there is a group of heavenly demons targeting high-level demon-slayers."
"It has always been the demon-slayers who have been chasing and killing the demons. Now the demons have also counterattacked." Xu Jingming was quite looking forward to it. After all, he had not killed a single demon in more than ten years.
"Master, you have to be more careful." Wu Qi was very worried, "After all, he is a demon.
★*****
In a quiet house.
Several people were entertaining an old man with gray hair.
"Ancient Sect Master, the strength of this demon is extraordinary. Lord Tomiya is also a ninth-level demon-slayer in the world of demon-busting. He fought head-on with the demon and was killed in less than ten moves. A young man said, "The strength of this demon is extraordinary.
It's very terrifying, and it's higher than the normal ninth level demon-slayers. We were still talking about it before, and we were afraid that we would have to deal with it with full confidence only when the source of life comes."
"The ancient sect master came with full confidence.
"Tomiya can still block seven or eight moves in front of the demon, but in front of the ancient sect master, he may not be able to withstand even three moves."
These people are all touting it.
They are all Ninth Realm demon-slayers, and they are also some of the most terrifying old guys in the entire Chiyun State. However, facing this ancient sect master, they all consider themselves far inferior to each other.
Because the gray-haired old man in front of him is so famous and his historical achievements are so terrifying, his self-created "Secret Technique of the Great Netherworld" is famous in the world of demon-slaying. With this secret method, he has never met any opponent in the world.
"I heard about how powerful this demon is, so I came here from Yi State." The ancient sect leader said, "As long as we are within the city, I will definitely be able to detect it once the demon takes action."
"We have been looking for the devil, but when such a powerful devil is presented to us, we can't fight it." These people were a little sad.
After all, they are all demon-slayers in the Ninth Realm. Lord Tomiya can't block ten moves, and they can't afford to offend him either.
"There are indeed some extremely powerful demons among the demons, and their strength is higher than that of the demon-slayers in the ninth realm." The ancient sect leader was very calm. In the world of demon-slayers, he was invincible.
"By the way." The ancient sect leader suddenly said, "I don't know, do you know someone named Wu Ming?"
"Wu Ming? We know each other. Of course we know each other. In our Chiyun Prefecture, Wu Ming is quite famous." A woman said
Layer Tu Zuisan smiled and said, "He was quite sympathetic to ordinary people, and he stood up for a group of ordinary people and got into a fight with another high-level demon-slayer.
superior
"I received news that Wu Ming arrived in Zhoucheng three hours ago," the young man said.
"Oh?" The ancient sect master's eyes lit up.
Xu Jingming and Wu Qi checked into an inn and rented one of the private courtyards. As night fell, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi had already rested in their respective rooms.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Wu Qi put on her clothes and went to open the door in confusion.
Xu Jingming also sensed a huge and vast fluctuation of mana, and immediately walked to the yard and saw a strong old man with gray hair standing outside the door.
The look in his eyes is very aura and familiar.
"You are..." Xu Jingming was not sure.
"Gushan." The old man smiled.
"Senior Brother Gushan?" Xu Jingming was extremely surprised.
"Junior brother Wu Ming." Gushan smiled.
Wu Qi on the side was a little confused.
Xu Jingming simply explained: "Uncle Qi, I am fortunate enough to be taught the secret method of subduing demons. In my sect, Senior Brother Gushan is the eldest brother. I am the latest to get started and can be regarded as the youngest junior brother."
"Oh." Wu Qi understood and said happily, "Then I'll have someone prepare some food and wine."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Qi." Xu Jingming said.
Wu Qi immediately ran out enthusiastically to find the waiter at the inn.
inside the house.
Xu Jingming and Gu Shan sat down at the wooden table, and Xu Jingming helped pour tea.
"I really didn't expect to meet senior brother here." Xu Jingming said happily, "I remember, senior brother, you are not in Qingguo."
"The sect I established is in the Yi Kingdom." Gushan explained with a smile, "But now my spiritual power index has reached 10,000, and I am preparing to break through the source of life."
"Finally reached 10,000? Congratulations, senior brother." Xu Jingming was also happy for his senior brother.
After all, my senior brothers are over a thousand years old.
"I have tried to break through in the Virtual World Network, and I succeeded eight times out of ten." Senior Brother Gushan shook his head, "Obviously, I am more prepared in all aspects. A friend happened to inform me that a terrifying demon appeared in Chiyun Prefecture of Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to attack.
Kill the demon slayer. The more powerful the demon is, the harder it is to find it. As for taking the initiative to attack the demon slayer, I only need to wait patiently... until he takes action."
"A demon with the ability to defeat a demon-slayer in the ninth level should be of some help to me." Gu Shan said, "If my spiritual power increases a little bit, I should be fully confident."
Xu Jingming can understand.
When a breakthrough occurs, the body completely transforms into source power. Once it fails, the body completely collapses and returns to source power, which is a complete death.
So you have to be completely sure.
"Senior brother, if you need my help if you need anything, just ask." Xu Jingming said.
"I know that you are coming to Chiyun Prefecture of Qingguo, and I happen to be here, so naturally I have to meet you. As for helping?" Senior Brother Gushan thought for a moment and said, "You should be more diligent in the prefecture and take the initiative to deal with the devil.
Once you encounter a demon! The bigger the noise, the better. I can know it as soon as possible, which is the biggest help."
"Don't worry." Xu Jingming nodded, this little thing is not worth mentioning.
"This is the source of life." Senior Brother Gushan sighed, "It's really not easy."
"No matter what, senior fellow apprentices will soon have a breakthrough. Junior brothers and sisters like us are still in the accumulation period." Xu Jingming said. He, whose psychic power index exceeds 5,000, is still early to achieve a breakthrough.
Senior Brother Gushan looked at Xu Jingming: "I can feel that your magic power has broken through to the seventh level. In reality, you should have reached the eighth level limit?"
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.
"It's only been eleven years since you joined Yuanchu Research Institute, right? Eleven years ago, you were still in the seventh level." Senior Brother Gushan admired, "This rate of progress is amazing..."
"The eighth-level limit is not worth mentioning." Xu Jingming said humbly. The geniuses at the Yuanchu Academy all reached the eighth-level limit in a short time.
Senior Brother Gushan looked outside and whispered: "There is something I have to remind you, Junior Brother."
"Remind me?" Xu Jingming was confused.
The two senior brothers talked in low voices.
The inn's waiter and Wu Qi also came in with wine and food.
"Young master, and this senior brother, let's try the craftsmanship of this inn." Wu Qi also helped the waiter and put the food and drinks on the table.
"Uncle Qi, you go and have a rest first. I want to talk to my senior brother Bingzhuye at night," Xu Jingming said.
"Okay." Wu Qi then left with the waiter and closed the door together.
Xu Jingming looked at Senior Brother Gushan seriously: "Brother, are you sure what you said is true?"
