Chapter 139: The Xie Family and the Contemporary Master Zheng Zizhen, Wang Jixia's emotions surge, talking about demons, who is the demon

Wutong Yamen, the government prison.

Xie Qiao released the members of the Xie family who had suffered a lot in recent days.

Although, only a month or so had passed since Xuanqing Demon Mansion knocked on the Wutong gate.

But the blow it caused was devastating.

Originally, Xie Qiaoxuan was in charge. Although the Xie family was not well received in Wutong Mansion because of the Song Chaixin incident, they were still a Yuandan family with a large population. There were several hundred people in total, including the three or four generations of direct descendants and branches.

But with the rain and wind,

Only one in ten people are lucky enough to survive.

"Cough cough!"

Xie An, who was fished out of the dark dungeon and luckily saw a ray of morning light, looked extremely old. He was supported by Xie Qiao, and dozens of members of the Xie family followed behind him.

Not long ago, with Gu Hua's forceful invasion and revenge on the Xie Mansion, only the third generation first and the head of the family, Xie Qiao, with his Yuandan cultivation, forced his way out of the chaos, and 90% of the other members of the Xie family were arrested.

Because they had once surrounded and suppressed Xie An in the Xuanqing Lake, the Xuanqing Demon King held a grudge and spared Xie An's life. He humiliated him in every way, using various tortures and severe punishments.
This is the only surviving elder of the second generation of the Xie family, who is a hundred years old and has reached the peak of the great innate realm.

He was tortured to the point of having his blood and qi depleted, his spirit weakened, yet he still had his life left, hanging on to one breath, unable to die even if he wanted to.

As the chains were broken, the innate demons guarding the prison were killed one by one by Xie Qiao. After Xie An saw the light of day again, he looked at the prison with a sigh.

I have failed to achieve a breakthrough to the Yuan Dan stage in this lifetime and am approaching the end of my life. I thought that there is a high probability that I will die here.

But did not expect
He actually managed to save his life and walk out of this prison.

Really everything is unpredictable.

"Father, are you okay?" Xie Qiao asked in a deep voice, holding Xie An's arm.

"No problem, no problem." Xie An's eyes were cloudy, and the dense wounds on his body had just healed. However, he had an impeccable Vajra body, and although he was old and frail, his injuries were not fatal after all.

There are three generations in the Xie family. Xie Qiaoxuan is the first ancestor, and 'An, Ping, Yuan, and Wei' are the second generation direct descendants. Now only Xie An, the former eldest son of the eldest house, is left.

The third generation is headed by his descendant, the head of the family Xie Qiao, and the former "direct descendant from outside the family" Song Chai Xin. They can be said to be the elders of the family with a high seniority, most of them are in their fifties or sixties.

Further down are the younger generation such as Xie Wutong, as well as some mainstays.

Decades of no see,
The spirit that Xie An once possessed as a young man from a prominent family had long been wiped out by the years before he suffered setbacks in his martial arts and was about to die.

All that's left is an old man in his twilight years.

He even looks older than his father, Old Man Xie Qiaoxuan.

Not a Yuandan,

In the end, after a hundred years, your fate will be to turn into a handful of dust.

"That's good, that's good"

"Now that Patriarch Qiao Xuan has passed away, our Xie family really can't afford to lose another elder in the clan!"

call!
Seeing that his father had saved his life, Xie Qiao, who had been worried all the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he walked out of the prison, sat and watched the sunset, with a straight spine, looking at the back of the entire Wutong City, and immediately stepped forward:

"Ji Xia, there are a total of 79 Xie family members in the prison. They have all been rescued. Where should we go next?"

“Presumably, even if there are tens of thousands of demons in Wutong Mansion, this time, with the True Man in charge and Yuan Dan leading the way, they will be mostly eliminated.”

Summer?

Where did this character come from?

Xie An was supported by another member of the Xie family who came from Montenegro.

Watching his son speaking to the young man in black from behind, he could even feel a sense of "following his lead".

Suddenly, I was a little confused.

At this moment,
The 'Wutong Mansion Master' who was imprisoned in the mansion prison by the Demon Lord Xuanqing was also rescued.

He was the only Yuandan master who did not surrender, but because of his special status, he was not directly eaten.

The current Lord of Wutong Mansion, named Zheng Zizhen, rose to his current position step by step from being a servant in the outer city of Heishan.

The turning point in his life was when he was valued by Song Chaixin, the former 'Master of Wutong Mansion'.

During his tenure as the garrison commander of Heishan, Zheng Zizhen was promoted by his superiors, and his position as an official was elevated from that of a clerk, to that of a ninth-rank official.

It directly saved me more than ten years of hard work and provided me with countless resources for martial arts training.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be where he is today, so he has always been diligent in his duties as an official, and even when the demons broke through Wutong Mansion, he still chose not to surrender.

As a result, he was locked up by the Xuanqing Demon King Gu Hua, and thrown into prison, where he was tortured.

I just want to see him surrender one day, so that the last bit of "people's support" in this city will completely collapse.

But before they could break through Zheng Zizhen's defense.

He himself fled first.

So, one escapes from the predicament.

Zheng Zizhen was worried and wanted to know the situation in the city, so he found a great innate from Montenegro to inquire about the situation.

After understanding the general context, I was shocked:

"So many experts have come to Wutong Mansion?"

"Decades ago, decades ago"

"Wait, that's not it!"

He was talking to himself and happened to catch a glimpse of Xie Qiao asking in a low voice towards Ji Xia's back.

Looking at Ji Xia with his head tilted and looking up at the sunset, from his perspective, he could vaguely see the "demonic spirit" flowing in Ji Xia's eyes.

This familiar scene was buried in the memory of long ago, and Zheng Zizhen almost couldn't recall it for a moment.

Until a long while later,

The memories of the past came back to my mind.

"What is the origin of this young man?"

Zheng Zizhen, who was trying desperately to absorb true energy in order to restore some of his strength, felt the same way as Xie An, as he felt waves in his heart.

So he asked around among the Xie family members.

The first thing they got was to make the two of them stunned.

A guest of honor guarded by Montenegro.

The godson of ancestor Xie Qiaoxuan.

A person who uses his great innate power to fight against Yuandan!
I heard that he has a close connection with the heir from the Great Snow Mountain.
"Although Chen Zhenshou is old, he has never been hypocritical to anyone in the past few decades. Old Master Xie Qiaoxuan is even more secluded. In addition, there is the relationship with the Great Snow Mountain, and there is also the 'spirit' that slowly flows in his eyes."

Zheng Zizhen was able to climb from the bottom to where he is today because of his quick mind, ability to think quickly and the ability to build relationships.

In addition, he had a good foundation but lacked opportunities, so with the guidance of Song Chai Xin, he was able to rise rapidly until today.

Therefore, he almost directly locked down Ji Xia's identity!

"Decades ago, the True Persons and Yuan Dan from the Black Mountain battle were revived. With so many overlapping relationships, there is an 80% chance that the person in front of me is 'Song Fu Zun'!"

Seeing that many people were released from the prison, and with so many people around, it was not the right time to point it out or ask questions.

Zheng Zizhen's heart was shaken, and he was shocked by his own guess, but he could only forcefully suppress the emotions surging in his heart.

Accompanied by two officials who were imprisoned on his left and right and had managed to escape with their lives, he followed in the crowd of Xie family members and watched this scene silently.

At this time, Ji Xia looked back.

His eyes just happened to pass over Xie An and Zheng Zizhen.

After seeing the contraction and shock in Zheng Zizhen's eyes, he did not show it on the surface, but he was actually surprised in his heart. It seemed that he did not expect that a clever servant he had promoted at the outer city gate when he and Ruan Xiuxiu rode into Black Mountain,
Some years later
He was able to achieve Yuandan and reach the position of a fifth-rank palace master on his own!

This Zheng Zizhen is truly a talent.

If Ji Xia hadn't come to Wutong Mansion, he wouldn't even know this.

In this way, my vision of people is really not bad.

The second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people all rely on "the previous generation plants the trees and the next generation enjoys the shade".

But he is building his own connections and taking advantage of his own situation!
But when he thought about the clues he had just discovered, Ji Xia felt heavy in his heart.

Compared to a long-awaited reunion.

The current confusion makes him feel like he is walking on thin ice.

Because in the twilight he observed
Although the evil spirit that was wreaking havoc on Wutong Mansion had been reduced, it was not defeated in one fell swoop. Instead, it kept "fleeing".

It was as if someone was deliberately condoning them and allowing them to "harm" the Wutong Mansion.

The dusk energy that was manifested by the Yuandan-level 'Nirvana Corpse' was only a small amount, so it was extremely conspicuous.

Under Ji Xia's gaze, it could be clearly seen that they were like a cat playing with a mouse, watching these demons and dogs rushing forward to kill indiscriminately.

Only at the most critical moment will they take some action to save the situation.

If this goes on, how can the demons be wiped out?

The people who suffered the most were the people of Wutong Prefecture, who were almost like leeks!
"Wait, these 'Nirvana Corpses' can't be..."

Suddenly, a guess emerged in Ji Xia's mind, and he couldn't help feeling cold.

Everything in this world has cause and effect. There is no reason why after decades of losing consciousness, these nirvana corpses would be revived without any hidden dangers while retaining everything they once had.

If people do not believe in God, they will not have so-called "moral concepts".

Just like an artifact has the most basic intelligence, it will only act in a way that best suits its own "behavior" and can gain "benefits". These Yuandan even include those fourth-step real people of Zhanlong Hou!
When they were alive, they all belonged to the Dazhao camp and were hostile to the demons, so when it came to expelling the demons, they were all filled with indignation.

This is consistent with their personality and behavior.

But what if the death of ordinary 'creatures' could bring them benefits?

So when he heard Xie Qiao's question, Ji Xia slowly shook his head:

"Do not."

"Those Yuandan...something's wrong."

another side.

Tan Tai Yao and the ancestor of the Gu family chased and killed the "Xuan Qing Demon King" Gu Hua, and almost killed him all the way from Wutong Prefecture to Shunan Prefecture, but he still escaped before his eyes.

The 'Golden Peng Demon King' with golden wings on his back, driving a chariot, wearing armor and holding a halberd, with his hair shining with golden light and as sharp as an eagle, stared at the two of them and came to meet them.

As soon as Tan Tai Yao knocked on the gate of heaven, he realized that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was gone.

So he stopped in front of a mountain, stuck his heavy sword upside down into the ground, causing the hillside to sway and raising dust, venting his anger.

It seems that Gu Hua informed the Golden Peng Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance who was guarding Shunan Prefecture that there were four real people in Wutong Prefecture, so the two demon kings did not dare to chase them.

"Just now, it was a matter of life and death. If Ancestor Gu had made one more move and used the vision to control the lightning spear, he would have definitely left the evil dragon on the spot and skinned it alive!"

"Why did you suddenly fall short at the critical moment?"

Leaning on the sword, Tan Tai Yao, who had regrown his arms, felt like he had been reborn from the ashes. He turned his head and looked at the ancestor of the Gu family, his tone no longer gentle.

In response to this, the Gu family ancestor smiled bitterly:

"I have just recovered and my strength is not good enough. I am sorry to disappoint Master Tan Tai."

Tan Tai Yao frowned and looked up and down at the thin old man in front of him who was holding a piece of lightning-struck wood and had a fluttering white robe. His eyes were full of suspicion, but after a moment of silence, he still let the matter go:

"Forget it, this evil dragon deserves to die today."

"With those two in charge of Wutong Mansion, I think the evil spirits should be completely eradicated."

He spoke as if nothing happened, then walked away.

The Gu family ancestor, who was half behind him, smiled and nodded when he heard this:
"Yes, with those two here, even if there is something, it should be 'done'."

In Wutong Mansion, Ji Xia fought his way out of the government office and wanted to return to Xie Mansion, but the number of monsters he encountered increased instead of decreased, so he was filled with doubts.

Beside him, Zheng Zizhen, who had adapted quickly, had already met him before and they understood each other tacitly.

Seeing this situation, he, as the Lord of Wutong Mansion, couldn't help but frown:

"How could this happen?"

With the Yuandan numbering in the palm of your hand and the troops from various cities entering the palace to "support the king", it stands to reason that the battle situation must be one-sided.

What's more, it is said that there are two real people!

Why are these demons still so rampant?
Along the way, there were even many people from Wutong Prefecture whose blood dyed the walls red!

Ji Xia said nothing about this.

Instead, it was getting closer and closer to the location where the aura of a Yuandan-level Nirvana corpse was.

This is a street in Dongcheng District, just a few corners away from the core area where Xie Mansion is located, Wutong Street and Wuyu Lane.

At this time, there happened to be a troop from Black Mountain City, with about three or four hundred brave soldiers, led by Chen Zhao's second son Chen Jing.

He was instructed by Chen Zhao to ride on horseback and go to Qinjian Mountain with Ji Xia to attend the meeting.

At this time, they were fighting with a group of demon troops.

The demons fought as they moved, spreading the flames of war continuously, and countless residents of the prefecture who had kept their doors tightly shut were affected.

If there was no Yuandan to help.

Then, with only the coalition forces assembled by Tan Tai Yao, facing the base camp of the Xuan Qing Demon Vein and thousands of elite demons, they would naturally be at a disadvantage.

When Ji Xia saw Chen Jing wearing armor and fighting desperately, he immediately frowned and joined the battlefield!

At the same time, Palace Master Zheng Zizhen and Xie Qiao, two Yuandan masters, followed closely behind!

Even if there is one person whose strength is recovered, only one tenth of it will remain.

But falling into such a battle situation is like a dimensionality reduction attack. With just one sword and one palm, more than a dozen elite demon soldiers can be knocked away, and you can pass through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on you!

Soon, the battle became one-sided.

This saved many lives for the residents of this street.

"Mr. Ji!" Chen Jing showed gratitude on his tough face. He was covered in blood from killing monsters. He clasped his fists and kowtowed to thank them. However, he was helped up by Ji Xia, who frowned at the same time:
"Where are those Yuandan?"

"You led hundreds of people to fight against the demon army, how could there not be a Yuandan in charge?"

"Yes, there is, and he was once the Lin Shao, the Lin Mansion Master, but..."

Chen Jing shook his head:

"As our two armies charged into the battle formation, that Lin Fu Zun slapped away two innate demons with one palm, and then he fought his way out of the encirclement and disappeared. The battle was dangerous and we couldn't get away. Until now, we haven't seen his figure."

"We have encountered small groups of demons before, and this guy disappears from time to time, but every time, he brings back two innate demon heads, so we can't say anything."

Hearing this, Ji Xia's eyes turned cold, while Zheng Zizhen on the side was furious:

"As the Lord of the Prefecture, even if you were once the Lord, how could you be so passive and lazy instead of commanding the three armies, leading the troops, striving to reduce losses, and protecting the people of the Prefecture?"

"Where is he?"

But at this time, Ji Xia raised his hand and signaled that there was no need to say more.

then,

He never stopped, but followed the dusk he sensed, passing through the houses in the streets and alleys.

The closer he got to the 'Yuan Dan Dusk Qi' that represented Lin Shao, the former lord of Wutong Mansion.

The more blood there is along the way.

There were also corpses of residents lying in all directions with terrified looks on their faces, lying on the ground at an angle, with holes in their chests, as if their hearts had been cut open alive.

All transit.

Not a single one was left alive.

Until Ji Xia stepped into the courtyard of a wealthy family in the capital city!

There was a fierce resistance inside, mixed with screams of fear from time to time: "You are obviously a human, why are you doing such a demonic thing? You.!"

"What demon? I've chased the demons here and my strength is exhausted. I'll replenish some and continue to slay demons and protect the people of Wutong Prefecture. But you guys are unwilling to sacrifice them, right?"

As a familiar voice sounded.

moment,

Several screams were heard, accompanied by the sound of blood spurting onto the wall!

Ji Xia took a step forward!
By chance, I saw Lin Shao standing in the middle of a spacious courtyard, with a copper furnace in front of him. He had his back to the furnace and slowly took out a heart, with fangs showing at the corners of his mouth.
"Ok?"

At this time, Lin Shao seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw Ji Xia, and felt that she was somewhat familiar:

"Are you Black Mountain, the one following that guard?"

"I also saw you at Qinjian Mountain."

As he spoke, he placed the heart next to the fangs and pierced the heart. The bright red blood emitted a seductive glow and was absorbed by him.
It is also called Lin Shao's cultivation level, which has been further improved and solidified.

Then, throwing away his dry and withered heart, he strode forward:

"Let's go, we're almost recovered now, let's continue slaying demons!"

"This Wutong Mansion is large, and there are many places to restore. It is enough for this mansion master to kill all those monsters!"

Kill demons?

Looking at the mess all over the ground.

Ji Xia felt that this was the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life.

"Demon? You are more evil than a demon!"

Whoosh!
Behind him, Zheng Zizhen looked at the scene in front of him in absurdity, and without hesitation, pointed the tip of his sword directly at Lin Shao!
At the same time, Xie Qiao looked at Ji Xia, and when he saw the young man in black in front of him nod slowly.
Take action together!
"you.!"

"Why did you attack me?!"

Lin Shao was shocked, his expression was sinister, and his protruding fangs looked somewhat ferocious.

But facing two Yuandan and Ji Xia who had practiced an authentic boxing technique to the extreme, he was powerless and retreated step by step, and his eyes were filled with anger:

"Could it be that you have colluded with the demons?"

"Then don't blame me, call a real person to judge the matter!"

After saying that, he opened his mouth and roared, making a strange sound that made Ji Xia's eardrums vibrate and feel indescribable pain. He wanted to punch him to pieces.

But this time.
A long spear fell from the sky!

Then a heroic figure in armor slowly emerged:

"Wait a minute!"

"Why kill him!?"

The Dragon Slayer had an indifferent expression on his face. He stopped the three men, looking down at them with an expressionless face.

And inside Wutong Mansion.

At this time, a girl holding a fox spirit took advantage of the chaos and kept sniffing the smell with her sharp nose. Then she ran all the way along the direction of Dongcheng District and Wutong Lane.
