Chapter 73: Fishing for Demons, Ding Clan Ancestral God, Evil Golden Body

Two carriages drove out of the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau and drove away into the distance.

"Everyone knows the area that Shan Jinhong is in charge of. If he goes there, there will be bloodshed!"

Li Chuyang and Situ Ying walked out from the darkness and withdrew their gaze from the disappearing carriage.

Li Chuyang said: "Tsk tsk... an unparalleled monster who has practiced Xiantian, a rare elixir in the world, I don't know how many Dan-condensing demons are drooling over it and want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

You want to use him as bait, aren't you afraid that the bait will be eaten?"

An inexplicable light flashed in Situ Ying's eyes: "If he is eaten, then it is just bad luck for him. I will avenge him."

Li Chuyang shook his head: "The person is dead, what's the point of revenge? You caused him to explode his Henglian Xiantian, and now you are using him as bait. Among the Second Commander's disciples, you are the most scheming, you don't look like a swordsman at all."

Situ Ying did not get angry when he heard this. He looked back at Li Chuyang and said, "He is just a brawny man. Just because he is a congenital person, should we lock him up in the Demon Suppression Division and never let him out? Everyone has survived many deaths along the way.

Whenever the Demon Suppression Guards go on a mission, they always put their heads on their waistbands first.

If you don't go out to experience the slaughter, but just stay at home, what's the point of practicing Heng Lian Xiantian?"

Li Chuyang still disagreed: "Then you should say hello to him first!"

Situ Ying said leisurely: "Do I need to greet him? These are his normal tasks. If I greet him, he is no longer bait. Do you think those great Condensation Demons are fools? As long as he reveals a flaw, who will take the bait?

And do you think Wei Fan, a muscle-brained person like you, can't see what will happen when he goes there?"

"What Situ said is right. If you don't experience killing, what's the point of practicing innate skills? Besides, our Demon Suppression Division is not a nanny. The eight demon-suppression lieutenants, the three demon-suppression commanders, and even the commanders have all walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood time and time again."

A voice sounded from the bevel.

Li Chuyang and Situ Ying were startled and looked back. They saw an old man with his hands behind his back and a hunched back.

The two of them hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Mr. Huo!"

Mr. Huo nodded slightly.

Li Chuyang muttered, "But I still think it's too early. He's only at the Pixue Realm. Even if he wants to go out and experience all this, he should at least have the cultivation of a celestial being. Those Dan-condensing demons are not weaklings like Wei Changqing and Han Kun. Each one of them is extraordinary."

Situ Ying rolled his eyes. "It's not like we're ignoring him. We're just letting him be the bait. We're not letting him die. If he loses his life as the bait, how can he be a hunter in the future? Stop talking nonsense. Are you going with me or not?"

Li Chuyang nodded: "Go, of course. If such a precious medicine is taken down, there must be a lot of big goods. It would be an idiot not to go. But when Wei Fan chops you with a knife in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you! Mr. Huo, let's go and prepare. Goodbye first!"

As they talked, the two men bowed and left.

…

"Don't be nervous. We're just going to be away for a little longer this time. The patrol mission is actually quite easy. If there are no problems, we can patrol the twelve major towns in two or three days at most. I've been in the Demon Suppression Division for so long, and there has only been one accident during patrol!"

In the carriage, Li Fengyi handed the kettle to Wei Fan with a smile.

Wei Fan rolled his eyes: "How can you tell that I'm nervous? You're the one who's nervous. I think you seem a little nervous."

Li Fengyi showed an ugly smile, she was indeed nervous.

In the past, patrolling was a task that had to be done once a month, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

But this time there's a big medicine sitting next to me, it would be strange if I wasn't nervous.

The fact that Wei Fan practiced his innate power was known to almost everyone in Su City, and those demons had probably also heard about it.

Not to mention that Henglian Xiantian is an unimaginable elixir, demons will gain infinite benefits after taking it. Just for the growth potential alone, demons will target Wei Fan.

Ning Xuan said, "Sister, what do you need to do on patrol? Do you need to visit all the twelve towns?"

In fact, the most time-consuming part of patrolling is traveling. Since one patrol takes five or six days, people usually don't ride on war horses, but ordinary carriages.

War horses are only used in emergency missions. They are too expensive and difficult to take care of.

A day later, Wei Fan and ten others appeared in a place called Fengming Town. The whole town had a population of 70,000 to 80,000. Although there was a government office in the local area, according to Li Fengyi, they would have to come here for patrol once a month in the future.

The few of them found a place to park the carriage, changed into the clothes of the Demon Suppression Guards, and started walking in the town.

Su Xuerong frowned and said, "The people here don't seem to be afraid of us?"

When in Su City, when I walked on the street wearing the clothes of the Demon Suppression Division, passers-by on the street would subconsciously avoid me or look at me with awe.

But walking on the streets of Fengming Town, the people here didn't seem to react much to their clothes, and some even felt disgusted.

Wei Fan also noticed this problem. Logically speaking, given the reputation of the Demon Suppression Division, it shouldn't disgust people.

The Demon-Suppressing Guards are not like the runners of the Yuncheng Yamen, who are only concerned with self-protection and do nothing practical. The Demon-Suppressing Guards kill people every day because of their efforts to slay demons and eliminate evil. They should be loved by the people.

Li Fengyi, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "What is your biggest impression of the Demon Suppression Division?"

Ning Xuan pondered for a moment, then blurted out, "To intimidate all the demons in the world!"

Li Fengyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, to deter the demons in the world, not to eliminate or kill all the demons in the world. Not everyone thinks that demons are bad. For example, in Fengming Town, many people think that demons should not be killed! So our patrol is to deter, to let those demons and people know that the Demon Suppression Division is still hanging over their heads."

Ning Xuan couldn't help but say, "They are mentally ill, right? Demons feed on humans, so isn't it wrong to kill them all?"

Peng Mingjie shook his head: "You don't think that the struggle between the Demon Suppression Division and the demons is just a life-and-death fight, right? The fight with demons is too far away from ordinary people. For ordinary people, whether it's the Demon Suppression Division or the demons, three meals a day are the most important.

If the demons here don't eat people, but instead give benefits, what do you think ordinary people would think?"

Wei Fan coldly spat out a few words: "Semi-colonial!"

He had never thought that in the confrontation between humans and demons, the demons could use such a trick to divide people.

Several people didn't understand what he said and thought he was talking to himself, so they ignored him.

Ning Xuan asked, "Isn't colluding with demons a capital crime? How could the Demon Suppression Division tolerate such a thing?"

Li Fengyi said: "Do you think it's just one or two people? In this town, there are at least tens of thousands of people who think the same way and gain practical benefits.

The situation is the same in the twelve major towns we have to patrol. No matter how ruthless the Demon Suppression Division is, it cannot bring itself to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Even if there is this determination, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people will breed something horrible.

And they didn’t do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth. They just did some business with the demons to support their families.”

Su Guangwen said: "The deep mountains and old forests are basically the territory of demons. How do you think the elixirs and treasures that the Demon Suppression Bureau supplies to so many people come from? In fact, they also flow out from places like this.

In this case, it can be regarded as turning a blind eye."

The so-called patrol is actually a deterrent, to make the people here behave themselves and not do anything that is harmful to the world.

An hour later, they walked around Fengming Town and found nothing problematic. They ate something here and then set off for the next town.

"Strange, how come not a single demon has appeared in such a long time!"

Li Chuyang and Situ Ying walked out of the darkness, practicing the innate bait. Could it be that the demons didn't like it, and they couldn't catch any demons? "Maybe they smelled the bait and were on their way. Maybe they were worried that it was a trap and were still hesitating to make a move. After all, you're not the only one who's smart. When it comes to playing with these things, demons are still good at it."

Situ Ying was about to nod when he suddenly felt goose bumps all over his body and the sword intent surged involuntarily.

At the same time, Li Chuyang beside him also changed his expression, his muscles swelled up, revealing a hint of metallic luster.

The two of them turned around and saw a young man with a stern face and a huge sword on his back walking slowly towards them.

When they saw the man's face clearly, the expressions of fear as if they were facing a great enemy disappeared.

Situ Ying was delighted: "Brother, you are finally here. You still love to show off. It's just that your sword power is perfect. Is it necessary to scare people every time you appear?"

The stern young man came over and stood in front of Situ Ying and Li Chuyang, and said, "I only entered the sect one year earlier than you. Now my sword intent is perfect and I have begun to comprehend the sword power. What about you? You have just mastered the sword intent.

If you were a loser, I wouldn't bother to say anything, but you can obviously be stronger, but you are only interested in climbing the officialdom, using some unorthodox methods, which is really embarrassing for a swordsman."

Situ Ying put away his playful expression and said seriously: "Brother, how many times do you want me to tell you that officialdom is also a kind of power? Master didn't say anything.

The path of a demon hunter is not suitable for everyone."

The stern young man said nothing more.

Li Chuyang stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Hello, Brother Xianlong!"

Zhang Xianlong glanced at Li Chuyang and nodded slightly: "I am chasing a Dan Ning monster. It will take at most ten days to catch up. If you called me here, you'd better give me a good reason, otherwise you will have to take my blows one by one."

Li Chuyang and Situ Ying's mouth twitched. There are still ten days to catch up, how come you say it as if you have already caught up.

Situ Ying said, "It was Elder Huo who asked us to invite you here. This time we have laid out some strong bait, hoping to catch a few Dan-condensing demons. Elder Huo is worried that the two of us are not strong enough and the bait will be eaten.

If you want to chop, go and chop Old Huo. Not to mention just one blow, even if you chop him a hundred times, Old Huo can still withstand it.

We don’t want to share this achievement with you yet.”

…

Three days passed in a flash, and Wei Fan finally understood what Yu Hong said about waiting in the duty hall being the most comfortable time. He would rather have a fight with the Ningdan demon than do this boring patrol.

During the three or four days, most of the time was spent in the carriage, and they often ate dry food.

"We've arrived at Dingyang Town!"

The voice of Su Guangwen, who was driving outside, was heard and the carriage stopped.

After jumping off the carriage, what came into view was a town that was not as big as Fengming Town - Dingyang Town.

It is also the last stop of their trip. After completing the seven-day guarding mission here, they can return to the Demon Suppression Division.

"Such a strong evil spirit!"

A huge shadow loomed over the sky above Dingyang Town, and an uncomfortable pressure was faintly conveyed. The whole town was dead silent, as if everyone had died and there was not a trace of life at all.

Ning Xuan said: "The evil spirit here is so strong, Senior Sister, are we here to guard a big demon?"

Li Fengyi nodded: "Yes, I am here to guard a big demon.

But you can only say such words as "big demon" outside. Once you enter Dingyang Town, don't say such words, because they call the evil spirit here "God". "

Wei Fan raised his eyebrows: "God?"

Peng Mingjie and others jumped down from another carriage and said, "Yes, it is a god. He lives in a temple, has a golden statue, and accepts incense and offerings."

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong were stunned: "The evil spirit actually became a god and enjoyed incense and offerings. Why didn't the Demon Suppression Bureau eliminate such an evil god?"

Peng Mingjie said, "If it's that simple, the Demon Suppression Division would have already taken action."

Li Fengyi looked around, everyone got off the carriage, put away their belongings, and walked towards Dingyang Town first: "Hundreds of years ago, Su City had not yet appeared, and there were humans and demons mixed here. The human race was just food raised by the demons.

An ancestor of the Ding family in Dingyang Town died outside and turned into a ghost, returning to Dingjia Village to protect his descendants from being disturbed by demons.

Over the past few hundred years, Dingjia Village has developed into Dingyang Town. People in the town only need to go to the temple to burn a stick of incense and offer some spirits every seven days to ensure peace at home.

For hundreds of years, I have never heard of people in Dingyang Town being harmed by demons. You want to kill their gods, do you think the tens of thousands of people living here would agree?"

Su Guangwen said: "The key is that this evil spirit didn't do anything out of the ordinary. It really protected the area. It just absorbed some of the spirit and energy, which made its body a little weak. Don't you think all demons are idiots?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ning Xuan was puzzled: "Don't they know that evil spirits are demons and should not be contaminated?"

Peng Mingjie laughed: "We know that we must not be involved with evil spirits because we have been told since childhood that evil spirits are not good things. But if someone told you since childhood that evil spirits are gods and that they are our ancestors who came back from the dead to bless us, would you still think that evil spirits are bad?"

Ning Xuan took a deep breath when he heard this.

Li Fengyi said: "The main thing is that there is more than one such god, including mountain gods, river gods, ancestral gods, and sacrificial gods. Due to various reasons, the Demon Suppression Division cannot directly and roughly strangle them, so they can only send people to such places to guard.

There are so many people in the Demon Suppression Bureau, but you don’t usually see many of them. They are all guarding places like this.

As long as these evil gods do not leave their territory, nothing will happen.

And once they leave the territory and do something out of line, the Demon Suppression Division can strangle them openly.

For hundreds of years, many things have been negotiated on the table. The Demon Suppression Division has come a long way step by step to its current status. It was not able to shock the demons of the world from the beginning. "

Wei Fan knew that he had underestimated the demons in the past. The previous semi-colonization was even more outrageous now. They even lived in the temple openly.

The ten people entered Dingyang Town and finally saw another team of Demon-Suppressing Guards stationed there.

They will come to replace this team to continue guarding the place. Seven days later, another team will come to replace them to continue guarding the place.

"Where's Brother Xie? Why didn't he come?"

The team leader looked for Xie Zhiyuan in the crowd but didn't find him, so his face changed slightly.

They were under the command of another captain and had been guarding the place, so they were unaware that Xie Zhiyuan and Shan Jinhong had been killed in the battle.

Li Fengyi and the others looked gloomy: "Captain Xie was killed in action, this is our new captain Wei Fan."

Wei Fan stepped forward and clasped his fists. After saying hello, the group packed up and left Dingyang Town.

Their base was a small courtyard, not far away was the temple dedicated to the evil ancestor god of the Ding family, and people came and went in an endless stream.

Wei Fan pointed at the temple and asked, "Can we go in and take a look?"

Li Fengyi shook her head: "It's better not to go. We are here to monitor and intimidate them. The people of the Ding family don't welcome us, and the evil spirits don't like us either. It's good for everyone to be in peace."

As she spoke, she looked at Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong and said, "Although this kind of guarding mission rarely goes wrong, you must not let your guard down, the evil spirits are not really kind.

They just raise people and harvest them slowly, just like breaking vegetable leaves, breaking off a piece from this root, and a piece from that root. Although not a single leaf is pulled out, they can break off a large bunch, and new ones will grow after a while.

If you really pull them out one by one and eat them, they won’t last long.”

Several people were horrified after hearing this.

This is the real monster. Compared with this kind of monster, those monsters that eat people as soon as they catch them are not scary at all.

Su Xuerong couldn't help but said angrily: "They are simply ignorant, pitiful and hateful!"

Li Fengyi shook his head: "It may not be pitiful, but it is hateful. They may not be unaware of this! However, over the past few hundred years, countless villages and towns around have been destroyed, but his Ding family has grown from a small family with dozens of households to tens of thousands today.

To put it bluntly, the world is still not truly stable.

If the Demon Suppression Division could kill all the demons in the world and save the people from suffering from the harassment of demons, the Demon Suppression Division would also be their god.

Don't compare warriors like us with the lower class people. They only have to survive and eat three meals a day. Whoever can keep them alive is their god, even if they are raised as food!"

Several people began to tidy up the house, clean the rooms and prepare food.

People in the surrounding towns all know that Dingyang Town worships evil spirits, so most people are unwilling to come here. The locals in Dingyang Town hate these demon-suppressing guards and are unwilling to work here, so they have to guard the town and do everything by themselves.

Even the food and drinks they needed to eat had to be delivered regularly by people from the government office in the neighboring town.

Of course, the Demon-Suppressing Guards did not quite trust the people of Dingyang Town, and did not dare to use the people and food here.

Who knows if the evil spirit will get tired of staying here one day and want to move to another place, and will kill them, the Demon-Suppressing Guards, before leaving.

Just because nothing has happened for hundreds of years doesn't mean nothing will happen. As long as the Demon Suppression Division is involved, you can't trust anyone, even your teammates. You have to be wary.

…

The Ding family ancestral temple is bustling with people.

In the center of the temple stands a tall golden statue with a kind face. The only thing that mars its image is a tiny crack at the mouth, which makes it look a little hideous.

Those who came to offer incense were full of energy when they arrived, but when they left, they all turned pale.

As they knelt, an invisible air was sucked out, floated into the crack, and continued to drift downwards.

The bottom of the golden body is hollow, forming a large space arranged like a room. In the middle of the room, a phantom covered in black air is constantly swallowing the air floating from above. He is the evil ancestor god of Dingyang Town.

Crunch...

Suddenly the door of the room opened and a snow-white silver fox walked in.

After the silver fox walked into the room, he stood up and quickly turned into a middle-aged man and sat down on a chair.

The Evil Ancestor God opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man who had transformed from a silver fox. "Hu Zhao, what are you doing here? You killed the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, and they are hunting you down. Don't get involved with me. I don't want to fight the Demon Suppression Division."

This silver fox was actually one of the silver foxes that killed Shan Jinhong that day.

Silver Fox reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, wanting to pour himself some tea, but found that nothing could be poured out.

He reached out to grab the apple on the table again, picked it up and took a look, only to find that it was fake again, carved from jade. However, he still took a bite and spat it out.

"It's so boring here. Everything is fake. You can only look at it but not eat it."

"You have furnished yourself with so many things, trying to make yourself look like a human being, but you can't use anything. You can't sleep in a bed, you can't wear clothes, and you can't leave. It's like being in prison. If I had lived like this for hundreds of years, I would have gone crazy long ago."

"I'd rather die than live a life without flesh and blood like this!"

A hint of red light flashed in the eyes of the Evil Ancestor God, and his expression turned cold: "You came here just to mock me? Then you can get lost. Do you think I want to be this half-human, half-ghost thing? When I condense my flesh and blood again, I will be able to enjoy these things sooner or later."

Hu Zhao did not leave. He put back the half-bitten "apple" in his hand and said, "Will it take another 100 or 200 years to condense the flesh and blood? The Demon Suppression Division is becoming more and more domineering. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that day."

A gloomy look flashed across the face of the evil ancestor god.

In the past, he could go out and eat people, and his growth rate was very fast.

But ever since the Demon Suppression Division showed up, he had been forced to be trapped here every day, sucking away the essence bit by bit.

Sucking someone bit by bit is not as beneficial as sucking them to death directly. If the Demon Suppression Division had not appeared, he would have condensed into flesh and blood long ago.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to say? If you don't want to say it, get out of here!"

Hu Zhao smiled, knowing that he had successfully mobilized the evil's anger: "We have been friends for decades or even hundreds of years. It makes me sad to see you live your life. This time I have a great thing for you. If you are willing to do it, my fox tribe will help you.

Not only can I let out a sigh of relief, but I can also escape from this cage-like life and even have a real body."

Hearing this, the Evil Ancestor God showed a mocking smile: "You want to drag me to fight against the Demon Suppression Bureau? Sorry, I'm not interested. Although they are monitoring me now, I still have hope. I don't want to run around like you guys every day. I might be killed by the demon hunter one day."

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "A flesh shell that is in the Pixue Realm and practicing the Xiantian, you are not interested in it?"

The black energy on the body of the Evil Ancestor God twisted, and the red light in his eyes was as bright as a candle: "The flesh shell of the innate cultivation of the Pixue Realm?"

If this evil spirit wants to regain flesh and blood, it can either slowly absorb human essence, grow step by step, and eventually give birth to flesh and blood and become a living creature again.

Or they could take over the body of a powerful person and claim the other person's body as their own.

But if he tried to take over a powerful body, it would only be used to slay demons and monsters. If it was a weak body, only the body of the legendary Henglian Xiantian could withstand the entry of his evil body.

The most important thing is that after taking over another's body, one can inherit everything about Henglian's innate body, and has extremely high growth potential. The benefits are greater than taking over the flesh shell of a powerful master.

Hu Zhao nodded: "Not bad!"

The expression of the Evil Ancestor God changed for a while: "Is he from the Demon Suppression Bureau? The Demon Suppression Bureau would not easily release such a treasure. I'm afraid it's a trap."

Hu Zhao said: "I don't know if it's a trap, but it's true that he is a Henglian Xiantian, and he killed two Tianren martial artists in the Pixue realm. Everyone in Sucheng knows about it. He is now outside your temple.

If you want to wait a few hundred more years, I'll find someone else.

If you don't want to, my fox clan will help you. You only need to take over the body of the Henglian Xiantian in the Pixue realm, and leave the others to my fox clan. The fox clan will be happy to have an additional Henglian Xiantian ally.

You don’t dare to step into your territory even though Henglian Xiantian has entered your territory. This is your only chance. You still want to stay in this place for hundreds of years. Do you think you have that much time?

Could it be that you have been the ancestor god of the Ding family for hundreds of years and you really think of yourself as the ancestor of the Ding family?"

The evil ancestor god was silent for a while, and finally said: "I agree!"
