Volume 1, Chapter 31: The blood pool is scarlet, and the willow demon's demon pill is stone.
The young Taoist priest tidied his hair and drew the wooden sword from his waist.
Then he suddenly rushed out.
The distance of twenty meters was estimated to be just a moment.
The peach wood sword in his hand glowed yellow, and he slashed with it, killing two people instantly.
Although it is a wooden sword, in his hand, its sharpness is as good as that of an iron sword.
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but sigh, touching his chin, and said, "What a fast body movement, but a little worse than mine."
The young monk put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good."
He was chanting Buddhist mantras, but his eyes were fixed on the scene without blinking. If you look closely, you can see that he has a look of excitement.
Li Gao turned around and killed another person.
The man fell to the ground, blood splattering into the sky.
The surrounding officials came to their senses one after another.
"Who?"
"Kill him."
The long swords at their waists were unsheathed.
He charged towards Li Gao instantly, but Li Gao remained calm and struck back with his peach wood sword.
A flash of yellow light appeared, and another person died.
This Taoist fights really hard, and every move is deadly.
Even though the other side had a large number of people, they were unable to do anything to Li Gao.
People fell down from time to time.
There is no way around it. The realm is there. In the face of absolute strength, numbers are just clouds.
Just like when he beheaded three hundred bandits with one sword.
The leader, seeing that the situation was not good, took out a horn from his waist.
Ye Tingmu saw clearly that this kid was trying to call someone over.
He held the green sword in his hand, bent down, and drew his sword.
It flows smoothly and is done in one go.
With a whoosh... his figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was fifty steps away.
A white light flashed across the sky.
Ye Tingmu calmly put away his sword.
The leading officer's head fell off and the horn in his hand broke into two.
The headless corpse sprayed blood mist and slowly fell down.
sudden.
On the other side of the battlefield, Li Gao also killed all the rest.
In the huge cave, there were more than ten corpses lying in all directions, the scene was horrifying.
Li Gao wiped the blood off the peach wood sword and said leisurely, "With so many officials here, it seems like there are some serious problems in Ye City."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the location of Huoyun Jiao on the map, and said nonchalantly: "The emperor is far away, it's not surprising. I guess the officials in Yecheng are planning to rebel."
The little monk chuckled.
"It's a small city called Ye, and we can't leave Beimang Province. It's impossible for us to rebel. The Nine Provinces are so big that this place is like a bright moon compared to a firefly. We must have been led by the Blood God Cult to commit such a crime."
Ye Tingmu also chuckled.
"Why is it impossible? When Emperor Gaozu of Han rebelled, he was just a village headman. Zhu Yuanzhang was born a beggar, but he started with nothing and still became emperor. You can say he can't do it, but you can't say it's impossible. Kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all born with different blood."
Li Gao and the little monk looked at Ye Tingmu at the same time. They were truly shocked by his words "kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are all of a kind."
I couldn't help but stand in awe.
"Brother Ye, what realm are the Han Gaozu and Zhu Yuanzhang you mentioned? How come we have never heard of them?"
Ye Tingmu rolled his eyes at the two of them. They were not from the same world, so it was difficult to explain it to them. He could only deal with it casually.
"Anyway, remember these two guys. They're awesome." He pointed to the north of the cave and continued, "This way."
The two looked at each other, shrugged, and followed.
Following the instructions on the map, the three continued to move deeper.
The further you go in, the creepier the place becomes. The wind that blows from time to time is freezing cold.
Ye Tingmu couldn't help but frown. It was very strange that the wind came from nowhere in this underground cave.
Moreover, the light blue crystals on the stone wall slowly turned into blood red.
After walking a few more meters, there was no road in sight.
However, the map showed that the Fire Cloud Dragon was right under his feet.
Ye Tingmu came to the cliff and looked down. The scene in front of him scared him.
"Oh my goodness, it really is a blood sacrifice."
Upon hearing this, Li Gao and the little monk also ran over and looked down. Their faces instantly became solemn.
I saw a huge pool under the cliff in front of me.
But the pool was filled with scarlet human blood.
There is a stone platform in the center of the blood pool. On the platform, a emerald green stone is suspended, surrounded by blood light.
It seemed to be absorbing the blood in the pool.
The jade stone was about the size of a stool. Looking closely, one could see a branch sprouting from it.
There was something wriggling in the blood pool, revealing its red scales from time to time.
Ye Tingmu recognized at a glance that this thing was the Fire Cloud Dragon.
Li Gao's eyes never left the emerald green stone.
He said seriously: "It is a demon pill. I didn't expect that the demon pill of the legendary willow demon is real."
Ye Tingmu glanced at him,
"That's ridiculous. How can a demon pill look like this?"
I have hunted at least ninety-nine, if not a hundred, monsters, but I have never seen a monster whose demon core looks like a stone.
"Brother Li is right. It is indeed the demon pill of the willow tree. It is said that this demon was originally just a hundred-year-old dying willow tree, standing next to a dry well. Later, a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed into the trunk of the willow tree. Then, the willow tree miraculously sprouted new branches the next day."
"It grew larger and larger, until from a distance it resembled a willow forest. Later, it became a spirit, and within 100 years, it achieved the status of Beast Emperor, with strength comparable to that of an eighth-rank powerhouse. Rumor has it that it used that meteorite as its demon core."
Ye Tingmu sniffed and sighed, "So mysterious."
Li Gao took over the conversation.
"Not only that, this monster has another ability, controlling animals."
"What's the meaning?"
"It can use this demon pill to control all the fierce beasts with lower realms than it. In order to kill it, the six sects lost many disciples. I originally thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that its demon pill is really a stone."
Ye Tingmu fell into deep thought. He could control beasts, perform blood sacrifices, resurrections, the Blood God Cult, and the soldiers of Yecheng.
All of this seems unrelated, but it can be connected.
He is well-versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and his mind is more meticulous than that of ordinary people.
He boldly guessed that all this should be led by the Blood God Cult, with the cooperation of someone in Yecheng, using the blood sacrifice formation to revive the monster. The purpose of reviving this monster was its special ability to control beasts.
As everyone knows, Yecheng is closest to the Great Wilderness. As long as the ability to control monsters is obtained, then millions of low-level beasts in the periphery of the Great Wilderness will be controlled. By then, we can first destroy the Northern Maniacs, and then lead millions of monsters to overthrow the Nine Provinces. There will be great potential.
It really is a big chess game.
It seems that the purpose of announcing that there is a Fire Cloud Python here is to deceive people and attract all the demon slayers in Ye City to gather here and then kill them all.
This would resolve potential threats and divert the world's attention.
Use a small Willow Town to cover up the information that more than a dozen Willow Towns were massacred.
It can be said to be very high.
If it was true as he thought, then the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Dongfang Qingzhu in Heifeng Village must also be related to this matter.
You know, Dongfang Qingzhu is backed by the number one family in Beimang.
He controls the most elite cavalry of the Northern Maniacs, and his ancestor is a powerful warrior in the ninth realm.
As long as we can control the Dongfang family or get their help, all this will come naturally.
Of course, this is just speculation, maybe it is used to contain.
If this is the case, then Dongfang Qingzhu must have a high status in the Dongfang family.
