Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 45 The Demon of Xuanming Sect

"Master, be careful. Xiaobai smelled a faint smell of evil and demonic energy. Not only were demonic cultivators here last night, but there were also evil spirits!"

Xiaobai's voice suddenly entered Ye Lin's mind.

Now Xiaobai is the most advanced among the many spiritual insects raised by Ye Lin. As a monster, he is much more sensitive to aura than human monks.

Ye Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"There are both ghost cultivators and demon cultivators? Are the ghost cultivators cooperating with the demon cultivators, or are the demon cultivators releasing the ghosts they raised to cause chaos?"

Although Ye Lin obtained some information, he was not in a hurry to tell everyone. Firstly, he could not expose Xiaobai at will. Xiaobai was his trump card to save his life.

Secondly, he is waiting for Zhou Yuan's investigation results. If he finds nothing in the end, he will inform him of the information in other ways.

Ye Lin and others passed through alleys and heard a woman's shrill cries from a distance.

Ma Changwen sighed: "Dear immortals, a total of seven people disappeared in the town last night. One of them was Li Erniang's only son. Li Erniang's husband was attacked and killed by a pack of wolves while herding horses ten years ago. It was not easy for one person to kill his only son. He was married until he was seventeen years old, and a marriage was arranged for him some time ago. Who would have thought that his only son would disappear before his wife got married, what a pitiful person. "

"I remember that the child has been very sensible since he was a child. He started helping his mother herd horses at the age of thirteen. He is honest and kind."

Everyone's mood became heavier.

Li Er's family is just one of many victims. There are dozens of other families who have suffered like hers.

Not long after, everyone arrived at Li Erniang's house, and saw the pale-haired Li Erniang kneeling on her son's bedside and crying. Seeing Ye Lin and his entourage coming over, Li Erniang quickly kowtowed and cried, blood dripping from her forehead.

"Please the Immortal to save my child. He is only seventeen years old. Everyone in the town knows that he is kind and sensible. He does not deserve to die. My mother should bear all the suffering for him... I beg the Immortal to save him!"

Zhou Yuan helped Li Erniang up.

"We are here to kill the demons and rescue the victims under the order of the sect. The most urgent task now is to find and lock down the culprit, so that everything can be solved easily!"

"Did you hear any strange noises last night? Or maybe you saw some suspicious figure, even if the figure didn't look like a human being!"

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything to reassure Li Erniang because she was pitiful. After all, even he was completely unsure whether Li Erniang's child was still alive or what the condition of the other disappeared people was now.

Li Erniang's mood became slightly more stable.

"Reporting to the Immortal Chief, due to the unrest in the town in recent days, although our mother and son wanted to move away, we had no relatives or friends in the surrounding towns. In order to prevent unexpected situations, I made a floor bunk in my son's room and slept with him. I know there is danger in the house at night, so I wake up every half an hour or even less than half an hour to check, and I also remind him not to sleep too deeply. "

"I woke up several times in the first half of the night and found nothing unusual. In the second half of the night, for some reason, I fell asleep completely. When I woke up in the morning, my son was missing!"

"I went out and asked the neighbors, but no matter how I looked for him, there was no trace of him!"

At this point, Li Erniang began to cry again.

"It's all my fault that my mother slept to death because she was useless..."

Zhou Yuan said kindly: "You don't have to blame yourself. Even those who cultivate immortals will get sleepy sometimes, not to mention that you are a mortal. You go out for now, and we will cast a spell to investigate your son's whereabouts!"

Li Erniang quickly walked out of the room with the onlookers, including the mayor Ma Wencai, and the door to the room was closed again.

Zhou Yuandao: "Li Erniang loves her son very much. She should not be a sleepy person. She slept to death in the middle of the night. She was obviously affected by the demon. As long as the demon comes, it will definitely leave its breath!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuan patted the Qiankun bag, and a transparent crystal ball the size of a fist flew out. He pinched the spell with his hand and fired a stream of magic power at the crystal ball.

The crystal ball became radiant and began to rotate rapidly. Soon, Ye Lin felt a faint suction, and the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be sucked away by the crystal ball.

Zhou Yuan seemed to see everyone's doubts, and he introduced: "This is a medium-grade magic weapon that can absorb and store various kinds of breaths, such as evil spirits, death breaths, and demonic spirits. Generally, they are needed. The breath is stored and used to refine elixirs.”

"This object can also be used to absorb the thin breath that cannot be detected by the Dharma Eye."

"Look, this is Li Erniang's despair."

As he said that, everyone followed Zhou Yuan's fingers and saw a stream of gray-white breath drifting in from outside the door. As long as they used their spiritual senses, they could sense Li Erniang's desperate cry.

"And everyone's fear!"

Wisps of gray-white breath poured into the Naqi magic ball. Ye Lin locked on the black breath with a thought. He felt the fear of thousands of people in the town after the night fell.

"If you learn the Observation Qi Technique, you can use your Dharma Eye to observe various auras and auras even without using the Qi Spell Ball. However, the Observation Qi Technique is a Xuan-level spell, and not everyone with strong foundation building skills can learn it. "

"Don't have too much contact with the auras generated by these negative emotions. When you sense them, you will also be affected accordingly, thus affecting the Taoist heart!"

"Those who live in the devil's cave for a long time will become demons, and those who live in hell for a long time will definitely become evil spirits!"

At this moment, a wisp of light red mist was inhaled into the Naqi magic ball. After being inhaled, the mist did not merge with other breaths, but quickly turned into a bloody skull, swallowing the other breaths in one go.

The skull seemed to become much stronger after swallowing the aura of despair and fear, and everyone immediately felt the powerful evil aura.

Zhou Yuandao: "It can be confirmed that a vicious ghost came here last night, which is also in line with my guess."

Just as Zhou Yuan was about to put away the magic ball, wisps of hair-like black smoke were sucked into the magic ball. The black smoke instantly dyed the entire Naqi magic ball ink, and the skull was also shrouded and swallowed.

"This is... demonic energy!" Everyone said in unison, and their expressions changed drastically at the same time!

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly.

"From this point of view, it is probably the demon from Xuanming Sect who did it!"

Everyone in the Xuanming Sect is very familiar with it. In the Xunlongshan Immortal Realm, the Xuanming Sect is one of the four major demon sects. It is good at driving zombies and ghosts, and its methods are extremely weird and cruel.

Hundreds of years ago, during the war between immortals and demons, the ancestor of the Xuanming Sect was surrounded and killed by several Yuanying ancestors of the righteous path. The elders and disciples in the sect were killed and injured numerous times. The Xuanming Sect also declined and converged a lot since then.

The Xuanming Sect has been struggling for hundreds of years, its vitality has recovered, and its disciples' activities have become more and more frequent.

Soon after, Zhou Yuan opened the door.

Li Erniang knelt down quickly: "Has the immortal found out the whereabouts of my son? Is he alive or dead?"

Zhou Yuandao: "We have found some clues, but we can't confirm your life or death yet. We will continue to investigate. If you are still alive, we will try our best to rescue you."

"Thank you, Immortal, for your kindness!"

Or hearing Zhou Yuan say that her son might still be alive, Li Erniang's spirit improved a lot. The arrival of so many Taixuanmen disciples at the same time always gave people a sense of security.

Next, Ma Changwen took Ye Lin and his team to more than 20 households to investigate. The Naqi Magic Ball collected more or less evil and demonic energy in every victim's home.

Ye Lin learned that in general, the aura left by monsters and monsters is very rare on weekdays and will dissipate quickly. However, once the energy is exercised, a large amount of evil spirit and demonic energy will leak out and remain in the surrounding things or in the air.

If a person dies in a place where the evil spirit is too strong, he may turn into an evil ghost.

If the demonic energy is too strong, it will affect people's minds. The demon's seven emotions and six desires are extremely rich and extreme. The seven emotions and six desires of people in the demonic aura will also be amplified, making them irritable, irritable, and even cruel and ruthless.

There are many legends and stories in which the emperor of a certain dynasty married a witch as his queen. From then on, the wise king did not go to court early every day and was nostalgic for the harem all day long. He implicated the nine tribes at every turn and completely turned into a tyrant. This was because he was affected by the evil spirit.

After visiting and investigating all the missing persons' rooms, the two teams met again at the mayor's mansion to exchange information.

The leading inner disciple of the other team also used the Naqi Magic Ball to absorb the evil spirit and demonic energy. The investigation situation was basically not much different from that of the team to which Ye Lin belonged.

Zhou Yuandao: "The number of demon demons should not be large, otherwise they can kidnap dozens or even hundreds of people in one night, but their cultivation level must not be low. The first two fellow disciples who came to perform the mission both have the fourth level of Qi training." , To be able to defeat and subdue them without anyone noticing, that demon must be at least a seventh or even eighth level of cultivation!"

"Moreover, he knew that the sect would send more people to investigate and even surround and kill him, but he did not escape in advance. It is likely that the practice of some kind of magic skill or the refining of magical weapons has reached a critical stage and cannot be interrupted."

"Tonight we announced that we were resting in the mayor's mansion, and then quietly went out to patrol all night. We must kill the monsters who came to cause trouble in one fell swoop to comfort the victims' spirits in heaven!"

"The demonic demons causing chaos within the jurisdiction of our Taixuan Sect are showing contempt for our sect. This will never be tolerated. Everyone, be prepared for a fierce battle!"

"clear!"

"Junior brothers and sisters, here is the Jingyuan Pill. After swallowing it, you will be full of energy. You will not need to sleep for three days and three nights. However, the negative effect is that you will fall into extreme fatigue after three days."

"Our level of cultivation is not high yet. We still need one to two hours of sleep every day, otherwise we will be in low spirits. Take it and swallow it. After three days, even if we fail to capture the demon, the sect will also have another level of cultivation. More powerful inner disciples have come to reinforce us.”

"I have just sent a letter from Linghe back to the sect, explaining the investigation situation. The sect should send disciples with higher cultivation levels to come for reinforcements to prevent the demon from escaping to other towns and continuing to do evil."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Ye Lin knew that this Jingyuan Dan was worth one spirit stone, and he also had a small bottle in his Qiankun bag as a spare. There were twenty people present, and senior brother Zhou Yuan gave away twenty spirit stones at once.

It can be seen that Zhou Yuan is not a wealthy person, otherwise it would not have taken him fifty years to reach the sixth level of Qi training.

In the world of spiritual practice, money is equal to the efficiency of practice. Although having money may not necessarily lead to successful foundation building, you can still reach the tenth level or above in Qi training within a few decades.

Seeing the moved expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. You have too little experience in performing tasks. These can be reimbursed. You can reimburse me when you go back to the mission hall and write an application. In the future, you will be on the mission." If there are any losses or costs that must be paid, be sure to fill in the reimbursement application when you return..."

"Actually... there are some gray rules. You can claim a little more when you add... but not too much. The Mission Hall will not be too harsh on the cultivators who fought hard for the sect."

Everyone had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces. Some disciples even had a look of regret, obviously regretting that they did not ask the Mission Hall to reimburse the losses from the previous missions.

Gulp, Ye Lin swallowed the Essence Pill in one gulp, and at the same time remembered the various experiences explained by Senior Brother Zhou Yuan.

Not long after swallowing the Essence Pill, Ye Lin felt a hint of coolness rising from his abdomen and flowing through his body along the meridians. His fatigue was instantly swept away, replaced by a kind of mild excitement.

Ye Lin knew that he would soon adapt to this excitement.

Everyone in the room watched the sunset on the plain, and soon a full moon rose. Tonight the moonlight was as bright as water.

Not long after the night fell, Zhou Yuan said: "Everyone, pay attention to hiding your body, let's set off according to the original plan!"

The inner sect female cultivator who led the other team also nodded slightly.

Taking advantage of the night, the two teams flew out of the window without making any sound, and turned into a spiritual light and disappeared in the sky above the mayor's mansion in a breath.

Zhou Yuan led Ye Lin's team directly into the clouds, and then looked down at the ground with his eyes, and the entire west of Paoma Town was in sight. The other team was responsible for the east of Paoma Town.

Everyone stood on the flying swords, holding their breath and concentrating, trying not to make any noise.

The whole world was left with only the whistling wind and the chirping of insects.

If a cultivator of the first level of Qi training wanted to fly the sword like this, his spiritual power would be exhausted quickly, while a cultivator of the third level of Qi training could fly the sword for ten hours easily.

The stronger the magic power, the easier it is to fly the sword and carry things.

Ye Lin was also concentrating on observing the situation in the town.

At present, Paoma Town is not peaceful at night. There is no one in the streets and alleys, but every household seems to have lit oil lamps, which should be bright and give them a sense of security.

In the quiet waiting, time becomes very long.

Two hours passed, and nothing happened. However, all the disciples of Taixuan Sect were still like hunting beasts, patiently lurking in the clouds, and no one said a word.

When they were approaching, everyone suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing. In their eyes, a very inconspicuous blood-colored evil spirit and black demonic spirit suddenly appeared at the edge of the town.

If everyone had not looked down from a high altitude, if everyone had not observed with full concentration, it would have been difficult to notice.

Zhou Yuan hit a paper crane with a magical power, and then put it to his mouth and whispered: "The trace of the evil creature has been found. Come and meet quickly, and concentrate all your strength to kill it in one fell swoop!"
