The people from the Demon Hunting Division present were all brought by Taoist Qingshan, and there were about twenty of them.

But these people
But without exception, they all practiced the top Yuandan skills.

It is not the 'return of mountains and rivers to their original energy' realized by Taoist Qingshan.

These were the secret teachings of the Demon Hunting Division, such as the Dragon-Tiger Mixed Origin Classic, the Soul Inner Illumination Sutra, and the Life and Death Power. These were the secrets that Ji Xia had discovered through "Performing the Dao in the World" three months ago.

Cultivation is flourishing in this world, but the means of cultivation are mostly lacking. Unless they are inherited from top families, powerful clans, or demons, most of them are rather crude.

The monsters in the Dragon Court of Jinghe River may look powerful and intimidating, but how many of them can be called "dragon blood dragon species"?
Most of them, even if they have cultivated to the level of Great Innate, or even broken through the Yuandan barrier, are just "small fry" because of their poor bloodline talent!
Compared with the people in the Demon Hunting Department who have reached the peak of Yuandan and can be called half a step away from becoming a true immortal.

Even if a demon has cultivated the power of a dragon or a tiger, it cannot gain much advantage against the demon-hunting general who has trained for three months, which is equivalent to several years of hard work.

Otherwise, how could the Demon Hunting Bureau have such a great reputation and be treated with courtesy by the current head of the Tongye Mansion?

The Demon Hunting Bureau emerged as a new force and became very famous in the past three months.

And because most of their men were roaming and stationed in the western Longxiong Prefecture, fighting against and killing demons and monsters, the two prefectures occupied by Huwei Hou also heard of his fame.

Li Qiankun knew it.

His maternal uncle, 'Marquis Huwei', had been to the training grounds of the Huwei Cavalry many times. After hearing the battle reports and situations in the east, he praised the Demon Hunting Division and called its leader, 'the Great Demon Hunting Lord', of astonishing courage!
According to legend, a month ago, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was furious with the arrogance of the Demon Hunting Bureau, so he deliberately set up ambushes from all sides and sent celestial masters to suppress the two mountains and checkpoints in the western Longxiang prefectures!
As soon as those members of the Demon Hunting Department showed their tracks after the "burning, killing and looting", they began to evacuate.

What awaits them then will be attacks from both sides, leaving them with no chance of survival!

At that time, the government troops of Tongye Prefecture were defeated, and most of the Demon Hunting Bureau's personnel, including six demon hunting generals, were all on the front line of Longxiong Prefecture.

I even heard that the extremely mysterious Demon Lord was among them.

Logically, if they show up again, they should be caught in one fell swoop, but something unexpected happened!

The Jinghe Dragon Court deployed 90% of its troops and demons to the front line. Even the Jinghe Dragon King, a real person, came out in person and sat in Longxiang to ensure that everything was safe.

Can.
The Demon Hunting Division did not play by the rules. Under whose leadership, they secretly bypassed Longxiong and boldly crossed the Wei River, went straight into Baoping, and launched a surprise attack on the provincial capital!
When the rear of the Jinghe Dragon Court was empty, they plundered the base camp of his 'Jinghe Dragon Palace'! !

All at once, they grabbed almost 50% of the resources, making the current demon-hunting generals and commanders rich. Their cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds, becoming a favor to others.

Of course the Dragon King of Jinghe could not accept it after hearing this, and he fought back without stopping, setting up five gates and six roads at various passes to hinder the Demon Hunting Division, including the "Great Demon Hunting Lord" from returning.

But he didn't expect it.
The great demon lord who had never been to 'Aquarius State' was unfamiliar with the place. After the surprise attack on the base camp of Jinghe Longting in Aquarius State, instead of being contained, he thrived like a fish in water, going all the way south and straight into the heart of Aquarius!
Moreover, that person knew all the prefectures and regions in Aquarius State, such as Ziyang, Shunan, Wutong, etc.

He is even more familiar with it than Jinghe Longting, an old dragon that has been operating for decades!
Aquarius State is the place where the three major ancestral temples are divided.

The Jinghe Longting was powerful, and they joined forces with the other two families to form the "Tongye" army. In the eyes of outsiders, the three families were naturally of the same blood.

But when we got to our own place
If Jinghe Longting wanted to rashly step into the sphere of influence of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance and the Great Snow Mountain to suppress those people from the Demon Hunting Bureau, according to the rules, it would have to greet the other two.

But this back and forth took a lot of time.

The Great Demon Lord took advantage of the opportunity and went back and forth at the three checkpoints leading to the Wei River in Aquarius Prefecture, jumping back and forth like a loach, and no one could catch him.

Even after a full month of intrigue, Jinghe Longting still made constant mistakes because the battle line was too long.

He was caught in an air raid by the Great Demon Hunting Lord and many demon hunting generals, and broke through several passes in succession, "passing five gates and killing six generals", and successfully returned to Tongye at a lightning speed!

After this battle, the Longting of Jinghe suffered heavy casualties, and lost both his wife and his soldiers.

At the same time, it also made the Demon Hunting Division famous, and the name of "Great Demon Hunting Lord" reached the ears of every top dignitary.

Plus.

The initial policy of the Demon Hunting Division was not to target the Great Yin, but to resist the rule of demons. Therefore, in the eyes of Hu Weihou who invaded Tongye, they were targets that could be recruited and subdued.

Huwei Hou Lu Xiantian once said bluntly in front of Li Qiankun: "In Tongye Prefecture, when it comes to heroes, Zuo Shanhe is a man of the mountains, not in the secular world; my brother-in-law Li Shenyao is just a warrior. It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to keep the country. He is not a hero in the world."

“I originally thought that there wouldn’t be any rising stars.”

"But looking at the way this 'Great Demon Lord' uses his troops, he is almost as good as a god. Even if the old Dragon King can break through the gate of heaven and embark on the path of transforming into a dragon and rebelling against his ancestors, he is still being led by the nose."

"Given time and further training, and the art of war and battle formations, I think this boy's attainments will be comparable to the 'Last Great Xuan Military Saint'!"

"Qian Kun, I am leading my troops to break through the Tongye Pass. When you go to persuade them to surrender, if you meet the Demon Hunting Division or even the Great Demon Hunting Lord, remember, remember, treat them with courtesy."

"If such a great man could be accepted as my subordinate, I would not hesitate to rule under him even if he were to be my own!"

"Before he rebelled against the Yin Dynasty, if this man could obey my orders, then I would report him to the King of Yin and make him a marquis for his achievements!"

"He suppressed evil, was the bravest among the three armies, and used military tactics like a god. His title should be 'Champion'!"

The whispers before coming to the Tongye Mansion are still vivid in my mind.

but.
Looking at the Demon Hunting Officers in the wide courtyard.

When the arrogant young man knelt down in front of the upside-down magic sword, he took a step forward.
Li Qiankun's eyes instantly turned red:

"The Great Hunt for the Demon Lord?"

Li Xuanzong was even more confused:

"The wanted demon lord? Li. Li Taxian?"

"Master Qingshan, you guys?"

He looked at Taoist Qingshan beside him and saw how fast he was, kneeling down on one knee in a flash. He almost fainted.

I spent an afternoon trying to figure out the identity of the Great Demon Lord, guessing many people, and even suspected that it was the incarnation of Zuo Shanhe himself, but
Didn't expect that either.

This person
It turned out to be his good half-brother, 'Li Taxian'!
When he thought about what he had said not long ago that he had long been fascinated by this divine man, Li Xuanzong didn't know what to say for a moment.

The soldiers, officers, and commanders around them looked at each other in bewilderment, and were even more shocked:
"The Fourth Young Master is the Great Demon Lord who slayed dragons and subdued sea monsters on the front lines, saved our Tongye Army from danger time and time again, crossed the Wei River four times, and attacked Baoping by surprise, causing the Jinghe Dragon King to turn his troops around and suffer so much?"

"This"

"I was present at that battle, but unfortunately I could only see the blood-red cloak in the setting sun from the periphery of the huge crowd. I was still fascinated by what kind of hero he was, but I never expected..."

"Today, I saw your face!"

"I have heard that the Duke's wife Dong Hongshuang poisoned the Fourth Young Master's mother sixteen years ago out of jealousy."

"As the saying goes, revenge for one's mother is natural and in line with filial piety."

"According to rumors, when the Third Young Master was in Shenjing, he repeatedly bullied his younger brother."

"He relied on his status and supernatural powers to be arrogant and ruthless. He even wanted to use the Fourth Young Master's life to die when he was fleeing. If I don't kill such a person, I will die!"

"The Fourth Young Master is a bastard, his position is low and his words are not taken seriously. What options do he have in this situation?"

The truth is not hidden from the public. As time goes by, more and more people will know it.

However, keeping something to oneself after knowing it and speaking it out loud in front of everyone are two different things.

In the past, the retainers and officials of the Tongye Mansion who had heard the secret knew about it but did not dare to speak out.

But most of those who have been to the battlefield and resisted the invasion of Jinghe Dragon Court on the front line have fought side by side with the Demon Hunting Division and received the favor of the 'Great Demon Hunting Lord' when they were in danger.

This time, the identity is revealed.

All of a sudden, I dared to say everything I hadn't dared to say before.

This is the great trend that makes you invincible!
It's summer
The lessons learned from the failure of 'Song Chai Xin' in the previous life.

Unite some people, assimilate some people, establish your own power, and defeat some heretics!

In this way, even if you are at the end of your rope and the whole world is your enemy, there will still be people who will speak up for you, stand on your side, and regard you as "righteous"!
Many soldiers who were originally relieved by what Li Qiankun said.

After Li Taxian revealed the identity of the Great Demon Lord
But they all hesitated and pointed their weapons at Li Qiankun again.

The will of the people is the general trend.

"plum"

Li Qiankun's face turned red with pent-up anger, and his expression changed back and forth. He looked at Ji Xia for a long while before uttering a few words from between his teeth:

"My uncle originally admired the Great Demon Hunting Lord's style of 'slaying demons and eliminating evil', and even claimed that if he could incorporate the Demon Hunting Division, he would report to the Great Yin and confer the title of 'Marquis of Champion' on you, giving you a salary of ten thousand households."

"but"

"Why."

His elegant face gradually turned ferocious:

“Why it’s you!?” Whoosh!
Without hesitation.

Li Qiankun, with a bloodstain on his cheek, tumbled his palms, and a burst of 'Yuan Dan' power burst out. The two celestial masters on his left and right hesitated for a moment, but still unfolded their 'domains' and pressed towards Ji Xia in a flash:

"I can let go of all my grudges against others."

"But only you."

"You tore the entire Tongye Mansion into pieces and killed my mother and brother. My father and Emperor Xuanzong of Li will not pursue the matter, but I, Li Qiankun, cannot suppress this anger!"

boom!
Li Qiankun pushed with his palm, looking like a furious King Kong, with a cold brow and a violent aura. Before anyone could react, he had already made the fatal move.

Moreover, there were two celestial beings who spread out their "territory" to press towards Li Taxian. It could be said that they had done enough work and preparation!
Li Qiankun knew that Ji Xia was the first disciple of Shanhe Zhenren, and could even be called the youngest Yuandan warrior in the Tongye hundred years. He was even suspected of having refined a dragon and a tiger, and had become the prototype of a celestial being.

But how old is he?
No matter how talented one is, his foundation is bound to be unstable along the way. Although his skills are exquisite, his footwork is definitely not as good as that of people of the same level.

If he is not killed, even if Marquis Huwei has already reached the gate of Tongye Mansion.

But at this moment, Li Taxian, who is 'popular', is what everyone wants!
If this kid wanted to kill him today, Li Qiankun thought to himself that it would be difficult for him to escape.

Therefore, the only solution now is to risk one's life and then survive!
Originally, he was sure that Li Xuanzong would not dare to kill him, so he dared to cross the river alone in white clothes, hoping to persuade the Tongye soldiers to join his account, but now it seems that
I'm afraid the plan has failed.

If it becomes unsustainable, then the only option is to threaten with death!
Pei Nanbei opened his mouth slightly, feeling an overwhelming pressure coming upon him, and the gold-thread mask covering half of his face was shaken with a clanging sound.

She was instinctively a little frightened, so she clenched the corner of her clothes.

But when he saw the calm and composed young man in front of him, he did not move.

But she realized that she couldn't lose him, so she straightened her chest, and even though the palm wind was as strong as the wind and as sharp as a sword, scratching her skin and causing pain, she did not dodge.

"I want."

"Follow him!"

The girl was a little stubborn and held the scabbard.

At this time, Ji Xia glanced sideways and saw this scene. She couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then a little gentle:
"Are you okay?"

Pei Nanbei shook his head, his face pale, while Ji Xia had already let out an "oh" and in the blink of an eye, he had already activated his magic power and said lightly:
"You scared my maid."

Immediately, his energy and blood surged, and he summoned up the dragon and tiger divine power, combining the six techniques, including 'Mountain and River Return to Origin Qi', 'Soul and Spirit Illumination Sutra', 'Life and Death Power', and all his advanced attainments, into one.

Use the 'Primordial Spirit Nirvana Technique' and just one sword!
Even in the summer, I have never practiced sword moves.

But it still broke through the palm wind, tore the flesh and blood, and even split the realms of two celestial beings!

With a look of shock on Li Qiankun's face, he was about to take his head. At this time, Li Xuanzong cried out in surprise and tried to stop him:

"Fourth brother, no matter what, he is our father's flesh and blood. Besides, Marquis Huwei is right in front of the mansion. We have been confronting each other for a long time. If we kill him, I'm afraid..."

Ji Xia's sword never paused or hesitated.

He just looked around and said:
"What are you afraid of?"

At this moment, his expression seemed to overlap with a figure that appeared in Tongye Mansion half a year ago, traveling through time and space.
"there is always a solution to a problem."

"Today I will kill him, Li Qiankun."

"Whether it is Marquis Huwei or Grand Tutor Dong of Great Yin who comes tomorrow..."

"Since I, Li Taxian, have already left the mountain, there is no reason for me to be afraid."

"Just call him."

“I’m standing right here.”

"Wait!"

The same figure, one with fluttering sleeves, a white robe and beard, like a banished immortal.

A young man wearing a dark prison robe and holding a demon-slaying sword is about to challenge "a king and prince of a country".

At this moment, just as at that moment.

It represents the end of the old era and the beginning of a new era.

Under Li Xuanzong's glare
Slowly,
Let a head be thrown and rolled down in this duke's mansion!

Then, Ji Xia stepped forward slowly, and in the silent courtyard where one could hear a pin, he smiled and looked deep into the inner hall:
"My husband is old, and his knife is dull."

"Brother, if you are so hesitant, how can you lead the Tongye Mansion forward and survive in this chaotic world?"

Li Xuanzong's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine:

"you"

He was originally prepared to divide the world with Ji Xia, or even make him the leader, but
Looking at the strange "half brother" in front of him, Li Xuanzong found that
I have underestimated this fourth brother who is usually as 'elegant and easy-going' as the eldest brother who is about to be beheaded!
How could he come here to form an alliance?

He is here to seize power!
Li Xuanzong didn't stop him yet.

Then he saw Ji Xia walking towards Li Shenyao's residence with great fanfare, as if no one was around:

"Three months ago, when the Duke was still well, he promised me the title of Crown Prince. He was still in his prime at that time."

"Now he is seriously injured and bedridden, which makes people sigh."

"At this juncture."

"The demons in the west and the princes of the east are eyeing us covetously. If we are not careful, these foundations will be swallowed up by others. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a kingdom but difficult to keep it. I, Li Taxian, cannot bear it!"

"Brother Xuanzong, you are struggling with this tough job, and it is really painful for me to see it, so, it is better not to..."

The young man who slowly emerged from the mountains looked harmless.

But from this moment on, he showed his fangs:
"Let me do it."

"Hand over Tongye Mansion to me."

"future."

"The human race's Li family won't be extinct!!"

The Duke's couch.

Li Shenyao looked haggard. Hearing the noise, he narrowed his eyes with difficulty and said hoarsely:

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Is it Xuanzong?"

"What's going on outside? Is the 'Great Demon Hunter' coming?"

Crunch!

Just as he was asking.

The crack in the door suddenly opened.

Then, a young man who was very familiar to him strode in, as if no one was around.

At the same time, the strength of the "Heavenly Realm" was undoubtedly displayed, which shocked Li Shenyao. He was about to say something, but then...
He was completely suppressed by the young man's arrogant words!

"As the saying goes, the strong are respected, and only heroes dare to be the first!"

"Since I am in the right place and my foundation is in danger, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Father, Brother Xuanzong can't come."

pat!

Ji Xia raised his hand.

An elegant head was thrown directly under Li Shenyao's bed. It was the head of 'Li Qiankun'!

"Li Taxian"

"I am here today to continue the 'Tongye Mansion'. Please."

"Father, abdicate!" (End of this chapter)
