Chapter 68 The Devil is Me

"Erlang——"

Su Lingshuang woke up from a nightmare, gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

where is this?
Then she realized something was wrong. This was not her room at all.

This brocade curtain, the bed, the quilt, and the incense in the room are not what he usually uses.

For a moment, her heart shrank, "That was not a dream."

"Erlang——"

When she thought of the scene of Erlang being kidnapped, she became extremely anxious and was about to get out of bed.

The door creaked open, and Granny Yu walked in and asked hurriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Su Lingshuang saw her, grabbed her hand, and said in a panic, "Mother-in-law, it's bad, Erlang has been kidnapped..."

Granny Yu comforted her softly, "Don't panic, speak slowly."

Su Lingshuang wiped her tears while briefly recounting what happened before she lost consciousness, "...After Erlang was captured, I begged that Pei Shouzuo to save him, but she refused. Then, I fainted for some reason, and when I woke up, I was here...Where is this place?"

Granny Yu said, "This is the old lady's residence. Miss, you don't have to worry too much. The demon girl from the Xuanming Sect was seriously injured and wanted to capture the second young master. She must want to use him to threaten you. I won't hurt him easily."

"As for saving people, you can ask the old lady for help. As long as she asks, the Demon Suppression Division will definitely do its best to save people."

After listening to her analysis, Su Lingshuang finally calmed down a little, "What else can I do?"

Granny Yu said, "Miss, the Queen Mother has issued an edict to confer you the title of Princess Taihua. What you need to do now is to be a good princess and use the power of the court to fight against the evil cult."

Su Lingshuang wiped away her tears and said solemnly, "I understand."

She swore secretly in her heart, "Erlang, no matter what the cost, I will definitely save you."

……

Dongjiang Prefecture.

Next to a cliff, a middle-aged man in a red uniform stood on a rock. He looked deep and unfathomable. He stared into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

The surroundings were in a mess, and the entire mountain was almost flattened. It was obvious that a great battle had just taken place.

"Qi Wu."

This person was none other than Long Shengzhi, the governor of Jiangzhou Demon Suppression Division, and he was silently repeating this name in his heart.

After being locked up in prison for more than a decade, this man's sword intent had actually been condensed to the point of being close to the realm of law. Although he had not taken that step, he could no longer be regarded as an ordinary Shenzang realm warrior.

We failed to catch him this time, and once he takes that step, it will be difficult to control him.

Long Shengzhi thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, one of the men came to report, "We just received news that the old lady asked us to help rescue someone."

"Who?"

"He is Princess Taihua's brother-in-law. It is said that he was captured by Yu Huaiyi of Xuanming Sect."

"Xuanming Sect?" Long Shengzhi raised his eyebrows. "Yu Huaiyi is a member of Xuanming Sect? Is the news accurate?"

"That's right. She originally wanted to kidnap Princess Taihua, but was repelled by Chief Pei of the Supervisory Department."

Long Shengzhi said decisively, "Pass the order down, mobilize all forces, and look for Yu Huaiyi's whereabouts."

The subordinate said, "There is one more thing. The person who was abducted was the hardworking monk from the Gu family who had mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art."

"In that case, pass the order down, kill this man and Yu Huaiyi if you see them."

"But it's hard to explain to Princess Taihua..."

"It is not the turn of a princess to point fingers at the affairs of my Demon Suppression Department. Just do what I say."

"Yes."

……

Outside Jiangzhou City.

The battle between Wu Chengzhou and Yu Huaiyi attracted several powerful Shenzang realm masters from the Demon Suppression Division.

When they found Yu Huaiyi and Gu Mingchuan, they killed him without hesitation, as if they had some deep hatred against him.

Instead, it was the evil witch Yu Huaiyi who protected him and blocked the sword intents that wanted to kill him.

This is going to be a problem for Gu Mingchuan.

He really couldn't understand why the people from the Demon Suppression Department wanted to kill him? Just because he was the princess's brother-in-law?
The royal family thinks this is Su Lingshuang’s dark history, so they want to kill him to silence him?
This is conspiracy theory thinking.

Yu Huaiyi told him, "Because you have mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art."

Just because of this?
Gu Mingchuan still didn't quite understand, but as the situation was urgent, he didn't ask too many questions.

Not long after, they finally got rid of those masters from the Demon Suppression Division and hid in the mountains.

After nightfall.

Inside a cave.

Yu Huaiyi was sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing qigong and regulating his breathing.

Gu Mingchuan is studying "Vajra Subduing Demon Fist".

What happened today sounded a warning bell in his heart.

If we talk about which force in the world has the most masters, it is undoubtedly the imperial court. The four holy places and the seven major clans have to stand aside.

Just in the Demon Suppression Department, there is at least one powerful person in the Dharma Image Realm in almost every state.

Among the thirty-six states of the Great Wei, the Demon Suppression Division has a total of forty to fifty Dharma Image Realm powerhouses. What a terrifying behemoth.

He is now being hunted by the Demon Suppression Division. Does he still have a place in the Wei Dynasty?

Well, it's not like nothing.

As long as they return to Minglong City, Liang Zhenmo Si will not dare to act recklessly in the Gu family's territory.

Gu Mingchuan wants to improve his strength as quickly as possible to face the current crisis.

However, this "Vajra Subduing Demon Fist" is much more difficult than he imagined, and he has never been able to get started.

At this time, Yu Huaiyi opened his eyes.

It can be seen that her condition is much better than before.

Gu Mingchuan took the opportunity to ask, "You said during the day that the people from the Demon Suppression Division wanted to kill me because I had mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. Why is that?"

Yu Huaiyi sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Because someone in the Minglong Gu family once mastered the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" and killed the Demon Suppression Division so that blood flowed like a river."

"Since then, Jiangzhou's Demon Suppression Department has designated the 'Vajra Indestructible Divine Art' as a demonic art, and anyone who cultivates it to the divine power realm will be killed without mercy."

It turns out that the devil is actually me?

Gu Mingchuan thought helplessly.

He asked again, "Isn't that Wu Chengzhou your subordinate? Why did he want to kill you?"

Yu Huaiyi said calmly, "In our Holy Church, the positions have always been held by those with ability. If he kills me, the position of the Night Messenger will be his."

Such rules are very devilish.

Gu Mingchuan wanted to ask more, but suddenly Yu Huaiyi asked him, "Can you survive ten moves from two Shenzang Realm warriors?"

"what?"

Seeing her stern expression, Gu Mingchuan followed her gaze and saw three arrows flying towards them.

The leader was a man wearing red armor.

His heart tightened, because the only ones in the Demon Suppression Division who were qualified to wear red armor were the peerless strong men in the Dharma Image Realm.

He suddenly understood what she had just said, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I can try."

The problem is, Yu Huaiyi is injured. How confident is he in facing the powerful Dharma Image Realm masters from the Demon Suppression Division?
"Otherwise, let's just run away. It won't be embarrassing. Really."

Before he knew it, he and she had become "us."

Yu Huaiyi's eyes revealed a murderous look, "Only if we scare them, they won't dare to chase us again."

As he spoke, he drew out the Bixiao sword and walked towards the person who was coming.

In the sky, the two purple-armored warriors behind consciously slowed down, made a circle, and rushed towards Gu Mingchuan.

Gu Mingchuan took a deep breath, put aside all distracting thoughts, and gripped the hilt of the knife.

The knife was snatched by Yu Huaiyi from a person from the Demon Suppression Bureau. It was much better than the knife he used before, and it could cut hair with a single blow. Although it was not at the level of a magic weapon, it was still a rare weapon.

The war is about to start.

PS: I swept tombs all day today and didn’t come back until eight o’clock in the evening. I was so tired. Please give me a monthly ticket.
