"These demonized martial artists have already reached the strength of ordinary Gangfeng Realm demons, but their intelligence... has even dropped to a level similar to that of the spirits that have just awakened... Eh? It seems they are still overdrawing their lifespan..." Zi Xuan put one hand on the ice coffin, as if checking something.

"Tell me! What's going on!" Guan Liyuan stepped on a non-demonized Pili Hall disciple and interrogated him.

"I, I don't know... How could it be..." The Pili Hall disciple was also panicked.

The first reaction of the Pili Hall disciples who had just been demonized was to even lift up their fellow disciples around them and stuff them into their mouths!

"What do the seven demonized people have in common? If you don't know, then go to hell!" Guan Liyuan said coldly.

"They, they...ah! I know, three of them I know...have been to the headquarters before, and they said that Luo Zongzhu has obtained a new cultivation method, and promoted the elite disciples of the branch to teach at the headquarters..."

"Yes, after the third brother came back, I asked him what the cultivation method was, but he refused to tell me."

"I heard...recently a Taoist priest has been a guest of Luo Zongzhu, and the cultivation method was also provided by that Taoist priest..."

Several disciples of the Thunderbolt Hall broke the news one after another.

Obviously, the current situation has shaken them...

It is of course good to be able to become stronger, but...the situation of these people is obviously not a matter of "becoming stronger".

"Where is the headquarters of the Thunderbolt Hall?" Xu Changqing asked.

"No, I don't know... and the hall master and that Taoist priest... cough, and that demon Taoist priest, should no longer be in the headquarters, and many of the disciples who were promoted before have not returned."

"This method of demonization is probably still under development! Judging from their situation, the demon power generated is not stable, but it may also be the reason why their demon power is stimulated in advance due to "serious injuries", and... if it is something that escaped from the Demon Locking Tower, it should have just started to practice not long ago!" Zi Xuan said.

At this time, Long Kui in the magic sword also transformed into the appearance of Red Long Kui - recently she has recovered to the point where she can occasionally appear.

"The monster killed by the white-haired monster just now did not have the breath of soul leaving the body." Red Long Kui reminded.

After the death of mortals and beasts in the fairy sword world, most of them will not have "ghosts", because the souls will be directly attracted to the ghost world. Except for Long Kui, a senior ghost, ordinary people really can't see the difference!

"What? Normal humans and monsters will not enter the ghost world after they have survived the entire storm. After they have become monsters... their strength can only survive one or two layers of gale at most, and the monster aura on their bodies does not have the aura of surviving the calamity at all..." Zi Xuan couldn't help but say.

If you have good eyesight, you can tell which calamity the other party has survived from the monster aura. These "monsters" have not survived the calamity at all, and their strength is far from enough to survive the entire storm. In other words...

their souls have been "consumed"!

"If that's really the case..." Xu Changqing's eyes were also solemn.

After a while, Xu Changqing looked up and called out: "Zi Xuan..."

"Changqing, I understand what you mean... I'll go with you!"

Guan Liyuan looked at the two of them curiously, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Brother Guan, Zi Xuan and I need to go back to Shushan immediately to inform my master about the monsterization of the human race. Penglai... can you go there for me?" Xu Changqing said.

Originally, Xu Changqing felt that his master Qingwei needed some time to calm down, and if he wanted to return to the sect, he also needed a "mediator", so he decided to go to Penglai to find the head of Shang Fengzi. As for the demon disaster in the Demon Locking Tower... Xu Changqing had underestimated it before!

However, after discovering the clues of the human race's demonization, Xu Changqing believed that whether Qingwei recognized him as a disciple or not, he would definitely distinguish between public and private, and would not be vague about this matter.

And the Penglai Sect still had to have someone go, not to mention the private matter of borrowing the Ascension Platform. Guan Liyuan's main task was to inform the Penglai Sect, one of Shushan's important allies, of the current human world disaster.

Of course, Guan Liyuan and Jingtian could also borrow the Ascension Platform...

Guan Liyuan saw this and naturally agreed.

Xu Changqing used a jade ring as a token, and also left a "personal letter" on the spot with a blank jade slip, and handed it to Guan Liyuan together with the sea chart.

After separating from Xu Changqing and Zixuan, Guan Liyuan took Xuejian and Jingtian and hurried eastward. On the way, he met people from the Thunderbolt Hall several times.

I don't know whether it was because the demonization experiment had made progress or the other party sent out stronger "monsters". The opponents they met were stronger each time, but the strongest ones were not Guan Liyuan's opponents...

Since that time, the Thunderbolt Hall seemed to have learned its lesson and no longer sent people to intercept Guan Liyuan and his party.

Half a month later, Guan Liyuan and his three companions arrived in Zhenjiang and finally saw the sea!

In Zhenjiang City, the three of them also took a short break. With Xuejian, a rich woman, around, Guan Liyuan "again" lived a life where he didn't have to pay for meals... Huh? Why do you say "again"?

Xuejian, who lives in Sichuan, is also in the Linhai area for the first time. Especially now that she has separated from Xu Changqing, who always talks about thriftiness, she is naturally feasting in the best restaurant in Zhenjiang City, and at the same time, she is also asking where she can rent a boat.

Like Shushan, Penglai Fairy Island is one of the small fairy worlds in the human world. From the sea chart, its position changes periodically, and it is necessary to combine the waxing and waning of the moon to calculate its position.

Moreover, unlike Shushan, ordinary people will not find Penglai Fairy Island even if they happen to encounter it. Most of them will return to the original place after encountering the sea fog. This legend can also be heard in the East China Sea. Even the Shushan

Peak where the Shushan School is located can be seen, but it is also suspended in the mountains. Mortals can only look at it... They all don't want their homes to be trampled on, but Penglai is relatively low-key in comparison.

"Rent a boat? If it is a small boat, you can go to the Xijin Ferry outside the city. If it is a large boat, you can go to several boat companies in the south of the city to book it first, and then go to the ferry to board the boat. Zhang's boat company has mostly new boats in the past three years..." After receiving the reward, the waiter briefly introduced several boat companies to Guan Liyuan and others.

"Has the recent demon disaster affected you?" Guan Liyuan asked.

It is said that the creatures in the sea are more numerous and more complex than those on land...

and it is more dangerous for people to be attacked at sea. If the boat capsizes, there is no way to survive, and there is no place to escape.

"Well, it has some impact. Now the boat is not too big, so we dare not go too far. We haven't heard of any danger to the fishing boats near the coast. I think it is the blessing of the 'General'." The waiter said.

"General? You have a general in charge of exorcising monsters here?" Xue Jian asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, I didn't make it clear. 'General' is not an official of the imperial court. He is the water god worshipped in Zhenjiang. His temple name is General Zhenjiang. It is said that the worship has been going on for hundreds of years." The waiter said.

"Water God? Have you seen it?" Xuejian asked curiously.

"This... I really haven't seen it, but there are ships sailing far away that have seen it! It has also saved people in shipwrecks. It is said that many other ferry ports have become more difficult to go out to sea. Our Zhenjiang is relatively less affected. I think it is the blessing of the general." The waiter said.

Xuejian couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard it. She wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Guan Liyuan, who immediately ordered the waiter to go down.

"Playing tricks... Brother Xu and Sister Zixuan said that gods no longer come to the human world." Xuejian muttered.

Guan Liyuan shook his head and said, "No, it's not playing tricks. It may be a practitioner of the underworld... that is, the incense and fire way."
