Xu Feng did not fly directly into the county town, but walked slowly towards the county town.
Along the way, Xu Feng saw many human corpses lying on the roadside. Most of the corpses had already decayed, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.
Xu Feng took a quick look at the corpses, but because they were too badly decayed, he didn't find any clues.
The high-level monks behind him also followed, and when they saw the gray mist rising around them, they all showed a look of vigilance on their faces.
Shen Tu is a casual cultivator who has reached the peak of level seven. He holds a mid-grade spiritual heavy sword in his hand. There are two dark red blood grooves on the black heavy sword. If you get closer, you can smell a faint smell of blood. Obviously, many people have died under this heavy sword.
The evil spirit emanating from this heavy sword alone is enough to deter many demons and monsters! "My son..."
Shentu suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears, as if someone was calling him in the fog ahead.
"My son, where are you?"
Shen Tu's face changed, and he subconsciously tightened the weapon in his hand and became alert.
"Who is playing tricks? Come out!" Shen Tu showed a ferocious look on his face and roared loudly.
A moment later, a blurry figure appeared in the fog not far away.
This was an elderly woman, wearing coarse cloth clothes covered with pudding, with gray hair and a weather-beaten face. She seemed to be looking for something and kept calling out in a low voice.
When Shentu saw the old woman's face clearly, he was stunned.
This was his long-deceased mother.
"Mother?" Shentu murmured.
Shentu always had a regret in his heart that he became a monk too late and his mother passed away too early, so he did not let his mother enjoy a single day of happiness.
Now seeing his mother suddenly appear, Shen Tu rushed forward subconsciously.
When he rushed to the old woman, Shen Tu seemed to realize something. His expression became ferocious again and he growled, "Inner demon!"
My mother has been dead for many years, and her body must have turned into dust. How could she appear here? The mother in front of me must be the manifestation of my inner demons.
Shen Tu raised his heavy knife high and chopped fiercely at the old woman in front of him.
The old woman's face was filled with horror, as if she couldn't believe her eyes. She stared at Shen Tu and cried out in shock, "My son, what are you going to do..."
When the heavy knife came down in front of her, the old woman closed her eyes as if accepting her fate, and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
The heavy knife reached in front of the old woman, but it couldn't be cut down. Shen Tu's eyes were filled with tears and his hands were shaking. The next moment, Shen Tu threw the heavy knife in his hand, knelt down in front of the old woman and burst into tears.
"mother……"
The old woman hurried forward, held Shentu's head in her arms, and comforted him softly.
Shen Tu felt as if he had returned to his childhood, being held in his mother's arms. The warm feeling made Shen Tu unwilling to wake up immediately even though he realized that this might be a dream.
Soon, the mother held Shentu's head and hummed a nursery rhyme, which was the nursery rhyme she would sing every time she coaxed Shentu to sleep.
Shentu gradually closed his eyes, and a scarlet light slowly appeared in his mother's eyes.
…
In the fog, Shen Tu, who was exploring carefully, suddenly had a flash of blood in his eyes. His originally ferocious face became numb. Holding a heavy knife, he quietly came behind another high-level apostle. The next moment, a shrill scream stopped abruptly.
Xu Feng frowned slightly. When he heard the screams, his spiritual sense instantly expanded. However, to his surprise, the gray fog around him seemed to block the exploration of his spiritual sense. The spiritual sense that could originally extend about ten meters could not even extend one meter now.
"The inner demon is all around us!" Xu Feng said in his heart.
When Xu Feng arrived at the gate of Chang'an County, not a single high-level cultivator followed him.
Xu Feng waited at the city gate for a while, but no one came, so Xu Feng decided to go into the county town to explore by himself and no longer wait for those high-level monks.
Before entering the county town, a slight vibration suddenly sounded behind Xu Feng.
Xu Feng's body stiffened, and then he turned around. At this moment, an elliptical teleportation light gate appeared less than a hundred meters away from Xu Feng.
The next moment, one teleportation light gate after another appeared, almost occupying the entire sky.
This scene was very familiar to Xu Feng. It was the scene he saw before he died when he was undergoing the transcendence test in his previous life.
Countless entrances to secret realms opened, and countless natives of the secret realms poured into the battlefield, killing him alone.
"What? Do you think this is what I fear most deep in my heart?" Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh, and instead felt eager to try.
Looking at the thousands of mysterious creatures rushing towards him, Xu Feng did not retreat but instead advanced, striding towards the sea of people.
Buzz~ Absolute Zero State of Mind unfolded, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to minus 273 degrees! All enemies that rushed into the state of mind were turned into ice sculptures, and all energy attacks that entered the state of mind were annihilated. All arrows and bullets shot at Xu Feng also moved at zero speed after entering the state of mind. The moment they fell to the ground, these arrows and bullets were all shattered into ice slag.
"Too weak, too weak!" Xu Feng shouted, "The power you simulated is not even one percent or one thousandth of the original one!"
"Is this all you have? Too bad! You are just trash!"
Xu Feng's artistic conception spread out over the entire sky, and in the end, even the teleportation light gates in the sky were frozen. There was nothing but ice debris on the ground, and no living creatures could be seen around.
At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly felt dazed.
It was as if something was trying to "drill into" his sea of consciousness.
But he saw nothing.
The Dragon Blood Shura Vine that was originally curled up in the sea of consciousness seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stretched out. The main vine and forty-eight auxiliary vines began to spread in all directions, and soon covered every corner of the sea of consciousness.
At the same time, above the sea of consciousness, a huge bronze bell was hanging high in the void, emitting dazzling light.
Originally, Xu Feng had no plans to refine this magic-grade equipment. He wanted to give it to his father after returning to the real world. After all, magic-grade equipment that could withstand mental attacks was still rare.
But this time he went down the mountain to overcome his inner demon tribulation, so Xu Feng did not dare to be careless. After hesitating for a long time, he finally refined this magic-grade equipment that could withstand mental attacks and stored it in his sea of consciousness.
In the sea of consciousness, the Jingxin Yiqi bell suddenly rang automatically! Dong~ A ball of gray-black smoke suddenly appeared in the originally empty sea of consciousness. This ball of smoke actually attached to the spiritual will of his sea of consciousness, and seemed to slowly erode Xu Feng's soul.
The inner demon!
The originally invisible and intangible inner demon revealed its figure under the sound of the Meditation Bell. The next moment, countless Shura vines shot towards the black smoke and quickly wrapped it up.
A roar like the roar of a wild beast emanated from the Shura vine. After a short while, the Shura vine dispersed and the black smoke disappeared. Instead, a gray-black bead the size of a fingernail floated quietly in the sea of consciousness.
With a thought, Xu Feng actually took out the bead from his sea of consciousness.
"Is this the Inner Demon Beads?" Xu Feng couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. The power of this Inner Demon was a little too small. It was killed before he even exerted any strength.
There should be more than one inner demon in Chang'an County. Xu Feng walked towards the county.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind Xu Feng. Turning his head, he saw that it was several high-level monks who followed Xu Feng to eliminate demons.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
However, at this moment, these high-level monks all had dull expressions, their eyes glowed red, and a strange aura lingered around them.
"Inner demon puppets? These cultivators have been possessed by the inner demon and have now turned into the living dead!" Xu Feng frowned slightly.
The people who turned into inner demon puppets were still able to display their cultivation skills perfectly. When they saw Xu Feng, they immediately let out a low roar and jumped towards Xu Feng, as if they had met the murderer of their father. They had only one goal, which was to kill Xu Feng.
"You haven't even comprehended the state of mind, yet you dare to attack me?"
Although he knew that the people in front of him had become puppets of his inner demons and all their actions were beyond his control, Xu Feng still showed a trace of contempt on his face.
Not even willing to display his artistic conception, Xu Feng's mind moved, and several soul fire talismans appeared out of thin air, blocking the path of the few people rushing forward. It looked as if these people had bumped into the talismans themselves.
Boom, boom~ After a few loud explosions, all the inner demon puppets fell to the ground and were killed instantly by Xu Feng!
Rather than controlling these inner demon puppets to attack Xu Feng, it would be better for the inner demon to directly "drill into" the sea of consciousness and erode Xu Feng's soul and will. At least the effect would be much better than the attacks of these inner demon puppets.
Xu Feng finally entered Chang'an County.
Many days have passed, but the Chang'an County is still filled with a strong smell of blood.
The entire county was extremely quiet. Apart from Xu Feng's own footsteps, there was no other sound. On the contrary, the footsteps made the entire county seem even more dead silent.
The Chang'an County City, with a population of 50,000, had now become a dead city, without any trace of living people.
Looking around, the county town was in a mess, with rotting corpses lying all over the ground.
In an open space, countless corpses were piled up like a small hill.
Woo~ Suddenly, a series of whistling sounds were heard in the air, and for a moment, the wind was blowing hard, and it seemed that countless black shadows were rushing towards Xu Feng in the air.
"Just in time!" Xu Feng smiled slightly, and immediately let go of his defense. The "Wanjie Moshen Gong" began to work slowly, and his body was like a millstone, slowly drawing the power of the inner demon in the air into his body.
In his sea of consciousness, countless dark shadows circled, constantly eroding Xu Feng's soul and will, but under the protection of the Tranquil Mind Bell and the Dragon Blood Shura Vine, these inner demons could not break through Xu Feng's mental defenses no matter what, and could only emit bursts of heart-wrenching roars in vain.
At this time in Chang'an County, countless black smoke was swirling around Xu Feng, densely packed, with at least several hundred of them. If other cultivators saw that there were so many inner demons in Chang'an County, they would probably be scared to death!
Dong, dong~ Light bloomed in Xu Feng's sea of consciousness, and the Meditation Bell kept ringing. Every time the bell rang, the inner demon in his sea of consciousness would tremble slightly, and the black smoke seemed to dissipate a little.
The Dragon Blood Shura Vine was even more ferocious. Every auxiliary vine was entangled with a cloud of black smoke. The main vine was like a long dragon, strangling countless amounts of black smoke. Xu Feng's heart demon beads in his sea of consciousness had already condensed into more than a dozen beads, floating quietly in the sea of consciousness.
Xu Feng introduced more and more inner demon power into his body. The "Ten Thousand Tribulations Body Grinding Technique", which had been upgraded to the power of five tribulations, had now completely turned into a huge millstone. Once the inner demon power poured in, it would immediately be ground into pieces and integrated into the tribulation power.
Soon, Xu Feng was no longer satisfied with the power of the inner demon he had introduced. With a thought, he directly pulled an inner demon into his body.
A stream of black smoke drilled into Xu Feng's forehead, and a rumbling sound came from Xu Feng's body, like a fully running machine.
In the county town, the black smoke became more and more intense, completely enveloping Xu Feng. Bursts of thunder and wind emanated from Xu Feng's body, and for a moment, he was in a stalemate.
At the same time, a young woman dressed in red, looking very heroic, flew to the Yongcheng Governor's Mansion with a long sword under her feet.
"Where is Governor Wu? The Princess of Dayan is here, why don't you come out to pay your respects?" The woman's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the Governor's mansion.
Wu Shaoan led a group of people and hurried to the gate of the governor's mansion. He looked up and saw the woman in red stepping on a flying sword. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Your humble servant Wu Shaoan pays his respects to Her Royal Highness Princess Su Yue. I am sorry that I failed to greet Her Royal Highness Princess Su Yue in time. I hope Her Royal Highness Princess Su Yue can forgive me for my failure!" Wu Shaoan and his men knelt down.
"No need to be polite!" Princess Su Yue said expressionlessly, "Is the demonic disaster in Yongcheng still continuing? Are there any disciples from the Wanfa Sect who are here to extinguish the disaster?"
The news of the demonic disaster in Yongcheng, which might be an inner demon, has reached the imperial family of Dayan, so Princess Su Yue was specially sent to investigate. Princess Su Yue is already at the peak of level seven, and has also comprehended the artistic conception. If an inner demon really appears, with Princess Su Yue's strength, she can easily kill it!
But the royal family of Dayan could never have imagined that such a small city of Yong would have hundreds of inner demons. Otherwise, even if Princess Su Yue had comprehended the artistic conception, she probably would not have dared to come alone with a sword to eliminate the disaster.
"Reporting to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhan, Xu Feng, the Holy Son of the Wanfa Sect, and sixteen high-level monks have gone to Chang'an County to put out the disaster, and have not returned yet." Wu Shaoan replied respectfully.
“The Holy Son of the Wanfa Sect?” Princess Su Yue’s expression eased slightly, and she nodded, “It seems that the Wanfa Sect also attaches great importance to this matter.”
After all, Yongcheng is a city of Dayan, and those who died were all citizens of Dayan. The Wanfa Sect was still a layer away from the Dayan royal family. Originally, the Dayan royal family had some complaints about the Wanfa Sect's delay in sending disciples to extinguish the disaster, otherwise they would not have sent Princess Suyue.
However, when Su Yue heard that it was the Holy Son of Wanfa Sect who came in person, the resentment in her heart disappeared.
"In that case, I'll go and take a look too. Perhaps I can lend a hand to Saint Son Xu Feng!" Princess Su Yue nodded and asked about the location of Chang'an County. Then, she flew directly towards the location of Chang'an County on her sword.
