Chapter 85 Who has such a big grudge against you? The demon appears.
The carriage was driving on a bumpy road, but this bump was nothing to Wei Fan and Long Xueyi.
"This time, the monsters that appear will be monsters with powerful bloodlines. They will be very dangerous to you. You should focus on collecting the monster's aura. If a fight breaks out, I won't have the energy to take care of you."
Long Xueyi didn't look down on Wei Fan.
Otherwise, with her cold personality, she wouldn't have said so much to Wei Fan.
In Piaoyu Sect, she had seen Wei Fan in action. He was indeed a monster. With the ninth level of cultivation in Pixue, he was able to defeat a third level martial artist of Tianren. Even she said that she hated such a genius.
But no matter how talented you are, you can't kill gods when you meet them.
The monsters that will appear in this Donglin event must all be members of the Demon Heaven Alliance. They will be at least at the fourth level of the Condensation Pill, or they must have very strong bloodlines. These fourth-level Condensation Pill monsters are equivalent to the human race’s dantian for forty to fifty years of true qi, and can definitely and easily kill ordinary fifth-level celestial martial artists, or even sixth-level ones.
Fighting against opponents of higher levels is very common for members of the Demon Alliance and demon hunters. Basically, they are the ones who are higher levels than others, and it is rare for them to be defeated by others.
Even if Wei Fan was an innate warrior, he couldn't be a cave warrior and fight against the fourth or fifth level demons of the Demon Alliance.
"He seems a little unconvinced!"
Although she only saw Wei Fan's back, Long Xueyi seemed to feel that Wei Fan was somewhat disdainful of her words.
"Yes, a demon with innate skills, whose comprehension is terrifying. If I dare not attack a demon when I meet one, I will not accept it either."
As the carriage sped along, Wei Fan's voice rang out again: "Is this trap set up in Donglin City? If you do this, aren't you afraid of causing great loss of life?"
When he heard that witchers would use their colleagues to set up traps, he actually had no aversion to this group.
We are all demon hunters, dealing with demons every day. If you are used as bait by someone and don't know it, then you deserve to die. It's your own fault for not having the ability, not others.
But as for Donglin's matter, if a trap was set up in the city, even if those monsters entering the city disdain to eat ordinary people, once a fight breaks out, who knows how many ordinary people will be killed by the aftermath of the fight.
With such a setup, he really needs to think carefully about the bottom line of the Demon Hunter.
Long Xueyi was silent for a long time. She felt Wei Fan’s disgust at this kind of disregard for ordinary people: "I don’t know if it’s a setup in the city, but it’s very likely.
In fact, you have to know that not all places are as peaceful as Suzhou.
In other places, demons often come to the city to eat people. When those demons are about to break through, where can they find the elixir? Of course, in the city.
There are many warriors and experts in the city, so you can eat your fill at once.
For cities on the front line, this kind of thing only happens seven or eight times a year. As long as some big monsters are killed, long-term peace can be achieved.
It’s not that they don’t care about the lives of ordinary people, but they think it’s more cost-effective to do so. After the demons enter the city, they will fight to the death. As for whether they can protect the people, it is not within their consideration.
Being a demon hunter is a double-edged sword. While killing demons, you will also hurt yourself. Many times, everyone is helpless..."
Wei Fan didn't say anything else.
Three days later, Donglin City appeared before their eyes.
Compared to the magnificent Su City, Donglin City is much smaller, but it is also larger than Yun City.
As a frontline city in the fight against demons, the atmosphere here is very depressing, and there is no sense of prosperity. On the city walls, various claw marks and repaired gaps record the traces of the battle against demons.
The carriage blended into the crowd and soon entered Donglin City. Wei Fan had never been here and was not familiar with it.
However, Long Xueyi should have been here before. She sat in the carriage and directed Wei Fan the route through secret telepathy. After twists and turns, the carriage stopped in front of a yard.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the gate of the courtyard opened and an old man with a white beard walked out: "Miss, you are finally back."
Wei Fan jumped down from the carriage and opened the curtain. Long Xueyi also got off the carriage while bending over.
Another person came out and led the carriage away, and the two followed the old man into the yard.
Wei Fan walked behind and secretly used the magic of observing the aura to identify the demon to look at the old man. He found that the other party was the same as himself, and his aura did not leak at all.
"Demon Hunter!"
He immediately realized that the old man was most likely a demon hunter, and what he saw might not be his true face.
Otherwise, ordinary masters who have nothing to do would restrain all their aura.
Only demon hunters who are being hunted by the Demon Alliance will restrain their breath at all times to prevent being tracked by demons.
The old man led the two into the hall. Seeing that there was no one around, he straightened up his bent back and said, "Nightingale, you are finally here."
Nightingale is Long Xueyi's code name as a demon hunter. Demon hunters generally do not use their real names.
Wei Fan also casually gave himself a code name "Cold Face", but Long Xueyi told him that this code name already existed. Then he changed two or three more in a row, and was told that "Lone Wolf" and "Black Snake" already existed. In the end, he had no choice but to choose the less popular "Underworld Fire".
Long Xueyi nodded and pointed at Wei Fan and said, "He is Hellfire!"
Then he pointed at the old man and signaled Wei Fan with his eyes: "His name is Hengdao, and he is our partner in Donglin City this time. In this situation, it will be very dangerous without help. Of course, you should not trust him too much!"
Long Xueyi spoke frankly and reminded Wei Fan not to trust Hengdao.
Hengdao didn't care, instead he raised his eyebrows and said, "Newcomer? You brought the newcomer here, don't you think he won't die fast enough?"
He had never heard of this code name, so it was likely that he was a newcomer.
Even some martial artists who have been demon hunters for more than ten years did not dare to get involved in this matter.
Long Xueyi nodded: "I am his guide. This incident is just right for him to collect some demonic auras. He won't take action."
Hengdao shook his head: "Those demons have entered the city, but no matter if you make a move or not, if they see someone whose aura is not leaking at all, even a fool will know that it is a demon hunter, and they will kill you anyway.
Let me make it clear first, I am not a babysitter. I will take care of you to the best of my ability, but I won’t take care of you beyond my ability.”
Long Xueyi poured herself a cup of tea and sat down again: "Don't worry, he doesn't need a babysitter. If so many demon hunters gather together and he is targeted by a demon, we will all be in danger."
Hengdao nodded and looked at Wei Fan: "Brother, you are really brave. Nightingale is famous for abiding by the rules among the demon hunters. Who has such a big grudge against you? Let me find her to guide you."
“…”
Wei Fan was speechless for a while, as everyone thought he was a weak scholar.
Long Xueyi's expression remained unchanged: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."
Hearing this, Hengdao's expression became serious: "There are about ten demon hunters from our Su City, and demon hunters from the neighboring Wanchuan County, Baihe County, and Qingyang County have also come. Adding up, there are almost twenty of them. These are the ones who are active in the waist card. I don't know how many are secretly active in the waist card.
The bait this time is a bit heavy, I don’t know if I can catch a demon, but there are many demon hunters who come here to smell the fishy smell.”
Long Xueyi frowned. It was not a good thing to have too many demon hunters. With nearly twenty people competing for prey, most of them might return empty-handed, or even scare the prey away.
"What about Mr. Jin Wucheng? As the initiator, isn't he afraid that the demons won't take the bait? It's all in vain!"
Hengdao shook his head: "This incident is probably not a simple trap. The atmosphere in the Jin family has been tense recently, and the power of heaven and earth has fluctuated from time to time. I suspect that what this old guy put out is not a bait, he really wants to break through the divine realm.
He was so happy that so many demon hunters came to protect him that he didn't even complain about the number of people being too many.
Of course, it could also be to make the scheme more realistic. Anyway, it’s all real and fake, and if he doesn’t come out and say it, no one will know whether he is really setting up the scheme or just casually setting it up, in order to get everyone to help him protect the law.”
Long Xueyi smiled and said, "If he can really break into the Divine Realm, I wouldn't mind being his protector, even if I return empty-handed."
Jin Wucheng is also a demon hunter in Sucheng. Although for demon hunters, it doesn’t matter where they belong to, they just run around everywhere.
But if there is another martial master in the divine realm in Sucheng, he will naturally not give up if Sucheng is in trouble.
Hengdao nodded, and stopped communicating with Long Xueyi. Instead, he looked at Wei Fan: "Brother, are you interested in exchanging some demon auras with me? For Nightingale's sake, I won't cheat you."
Long Xueyi nodded slightly. With her watching, Hengdao had no chance to trick Wei Fan.
Wei Fan became interested: "How do we exchange?"
Hengdao raised a finger and said, "One demon pill for ten demon auras. You can choose any realm. I guarantee that these demons are still alive and have not been killed."
Too expensive!
However, Long Xueyi did not say anything. As a guide, she only taught Wei Fan some rules of the demon hunter. As for bargaining, it had nothing to do with her.
Wei Fan rolled his eyes: "No demon pills, only silver bills!"
He didn't even have enough demon pills, so how could he use them to exchange breath?
A demon pill in his hands is worth at least a few hundred years of cultivation, so it is not worth exchanging it for ten auras. If it were a silver note of little use, he would still be willing to do it.
Hengdao also rolled his eyes. He wanted to cheat him, but he forgot that he was a newcomer and didn’t have any magic pills on him. “As for silver, ten thousand… five thousand silver for one!”
Wei Fan uttered a word softly: "Get lost!"
He really thought he was being cheated. He spent five thousand taels of silver to buy the aura of a demon that might not be traced by Taoism.
Hengdao shook his head: "Okay, five hundred taels each. Nightingale can testify this time that I didn't cheat you of your money. These auras were collected from fighting monsters."
This time Long Xueyi nodded.
"For five hundred taels, give me the aura of the White Elephant Young Master!"
Those who had murderous intentions towards him were basically all killed, except for the young master Baixiang.
If the young master of the white elephant had not run fast last time, he would definitely have taken out the golden bell to kill the beast.
Hengdao was stunned: "Eh...how do you know that I have the aura of the White Elephant Young Master here? You didn't tell Nightingale, did you?"
Long Xueyi shook her head.
Hengdao turned back to look at Wei Fan: "Young Master Baixiang is a great demon of the seventh level of Condensation Pill, with the blood of Baixiang. I can't beat him even if I'm at the same level as him. You, a newcomer, want to track him down. Are you tired of living?"
The more Hengdao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why didn't a newcomer buy the aura of a first or second-grade Ningdan demon, but instead bought the aura of the seventh-grade Ningdan White Elephant Young Master? Could it be that he had a grudge against him?
"Wait, you're not Wei Fan, are you?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wei Fan rolled his eyes: "You are not that guy Zhang Xianlong, are you?"
Hengdao's eyes were evasive. It was unclear whether his disguise was a human skin mask or Wei Fan's way of directly controlling muscles. He actually looked embarrassed.
He looked at Long Xueyi with some resentment: "Why don't you say he is Wei Fan?"
He is indeed Zhang Xianlong.
He and Wei Fan had fought side by side, and they had returned to the Demon Suppression Division from Dingyang Town together, and they had communicated a lot during the journey.
It was so embarrassing that I tried to trick him for a long time but failed and then found out that it was an acquaintance.
Long Xueyi had no expression on her face: "He is Hellfire!"
She didn't say whether it was Wei Fan. All demon hunters use code names, and she couldn't possibly admit or reveal Wei Fan's identity. But at this point, everyone basically knew who was who.
In the Demon Bureau of Sucheng Town, apart from Wei Fan, there has been no one who can become a demon hunter recently.
Moreover, given Long Xueyi's personality, she is not a special person like Wei Fan, and she has no interest in being a guide.
"This is the aura of the White Elephant Young Master. I give it to you!"
Zhang Xianlong didn't mention anything about money anymore.
He spread out his palm, and a black and white entangled aura appeared in his hand and split into two halves.
Wei Fan stretched out his hand, and purple true energy emerged, encapsulating the split breath and taking it into his body.
"It's you, you bastard!"
One look at this purple true power, who else except Henglian Xiantian can have true power of this color.
After passing the aura to Wei Fan, Zhang Xianlong stood up and left: "I'll have someone cook for you. You probably didn't get enough rest during your journey. Have a good rest after dinner. The battle should only take two or three days."
…
Time passed quickly and Wei Fan had lived in this courtyard for three days. Their courtyard was not far from Jin Wucheng's home and no demons appeared. He took the opportunity to tour Donglin City.
During the three days, some demon hunters who had completely restrained their aura came here to reminisce with Zhang Xianlong or Long Xueyi, and Wei Fan also got to know some demon hunters.
However, this kind of understanding is equivalent to no understanding. Not only is the name false, but even the appearance is false.
"Some demon hunters got tired of waiting and left!"
Zhang Xianlong came in from outside and told Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, who were drinking tea in the living room, the news.
In fact, the events in Donglin City had been going on for more than ten days. Six days had passed since Wei Fan and Long Xueyi arrived in Donglin City. Zhang Xianlong, who arrived earlier, had already wasted eight days.
If you spend so much time looking for monsters, you will find one if you are lucky.
Long Xueyi nodded: "Let's wait for two or three more days. If no demons appear, let's go. There are too many people, or the Demon Heaven Alliance can't gather enough demons, so they dare not appear."
Soon it was the next day, and the demons still did not appear, there was no sign of Jin Wucheng's breakthrough, and more demon hunters left.
On the third night, it was already late at night and no demon had appeared. Even Long Xueyi was losing her patience.
All in all, it has been delayed for almost ten days because of the Donglin City incident.
"Rest, we'll leave Donglin early tomorrow morning..."
Zhang Xianlong stood up, and before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He stretched out five fingers, and in the sphere formed by his true energy, dozens of auras were beating and pointing in different directions.
Wei Fan also felt that the aura belonging to the Young Master of the White Elephant, which he had stored in his body, began to beat in his body, which meant that the Young Master of the White Elephant was nearby and was releasing his aura without concealment.
"These beasts are finally here!"
Long Xueyi grabbed her sword, her eyes flashing coldly.
"Oh no! These beasts waited until many people left before showing up. How cunning!"
They are just waiting for something to happen and are not in a hurry at all. Even if more demon hunters come, it is impossible for them to stay in Donglin City forever.
The two men stepped out of the hall and jumped onto the roof, and Wei Fan followed suit.
He looked up and saw that witchers had appeared on the surrounding houses, but there were not many of them.
Long Xueyi looked back at Wei Fan and said, "Be careful and don't reveal your true identity!"
Wei Fan has body cultivation skills, so it's not that he can't take action. He just needs to not reveal his supreme true energy and attract the attention of all the demons.
"Let's go. We can't let these beasts into the city!"
She no longer concealed her aura and flew into the air with Zhang Xianlong.
At the same time, the other demon hunters who appeared on the roof also released their breath and each chose a direction to disappear.
Ding ding...
A loud bell rang in Donglin City. Wei Fan stood on the roof and found that when the bell rang, the whole city seemed to come alive, and every household opened their underground secret rooms and went in.
He realized that he was overthinking it. How could a city like this, which was fighting against demons on the front line, not have the means to deal with the demon disasters?
With the secret room, even if the Dan-condensing demon and the celestial martial artist fight in the city, the most they can do is collapse the houses, and the safety of the people in the secret room is greatly guaranteed.
Not far away, lights were on everywhere in the Jin family, and a large number of clansmen walked out of the rooms, murderous in spirit, and surrounded a room.
The power of heaven and earth began to surge, rushing towards the room like a tide. In an instant, an aura that even Wei Fan felt palpitating spread from the room.
“Is it really going to break through?”
The demon appeared, but Jin Wucheng, who set up the trap, has not shown up yet. There is also a terrifying aura coming from the Jin family. This is obviously abnormal.
Wei Fan had no plans to follow Long Xueyi and the others out of the city. Those experienced demon hunters knew which demons were strong and which were weak, and could use them to identify opponents.
Apart from knowing that the young master of the White Elephant was a seventh-grade Condensed Pill, he was completely in the dark about other monsters. Moreover, he had no scent of other monsters, so it was difficult for him to find them.
The best way is to stay here with Jin Wucheng and see if you can pick up a few.
He just sat on the roof. If there was any bad news, Li Fengyi and Zhang Xianlong would contact him through the badge.
"Jin Wucheng, you want to break through the divine realm, have you asked me?"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound was heard in the sky, and in an instant a violent aura came down from the sky.
Wei Fan's pupils shrank slightly and he looked up. A huge shadow about five or six feet tall fell from the sky with the force of a falling meteor.
If this falls on the ground, the area within a radius of several hundred meters will be shaken down!
"What a huge ape!"
The monkey that descended from the sky was covered in white hair. Not only was its size terrifying, but it was also holding an iron rod as thick as a bucket in its hand. It was smashing the place where Jin Wucheng was with the force of a collapsing mountain.
