Kill the Demon King from the Demon Slayer Dungeon

Chapter 77 Zhu Xuan's Surprise and Worry
The blood light made the whole coffin red.

Afterwards, the blood light disappeared, but Tang Xuelian's opened eyes were still blood red.

Like a ruby ​​shining in the dark night.

Memories gradually emerged...

When I was a child...

On that day at Hongwu College, he recognized Shang Zheng as his godfather...

That day when she returned to the small county town, she had a passionate relationship with her man for the first time...

That day the man she liked died of old age...

On that day, she accepted God's instructions and joined the court of God...

That day...

Memories emerge bit by bit, and then gush out...

Until she was defeated by Jiang Nan, until Shang Zheng chased after her and looked at her heartbroken.

In the end, she cut off her heart and returned her life to Shang Zheng.

Memories all emerge, all remembered.

But Tang Xuelian looked numb.

not at all because
She stretched out her right hand and found that the palm was actually there, but it was more illusory.

In addition to my own memory, a strange memory appeared in my mind.

Touching that strange memory, Tang Xuelian's numb expression suddenly changed.

"Double cultivation with a man, devouring his essence, not only can be reborn with severed limbs, but also can beautify the face, be with God, and step into eternal life..."

"Swallow essence..."

Tang Xuelian's complexion kept changing.

The ones with the most energy are the warriors, demons and monsters with strong physical bodies.

But among the warriors, demons, and monsters that Tang Xuelian met, the one with the strongest essence and blood was a warrior with only the seventh level of the Dan Palace Realm.

This person is Jiang Nan who forced her to death.

Whether it is revenge or devouring energy, Jiang Nan is the perfect candidate.

Tang Xuelian stretched out her left hand, the palm was white and the fingers were slender.

It's still good.

A strange smile appeared on her still pale face.

Immediately sat up.

The strange thing is that she couldn't sit up in the coffin at all, but she sat up, stepped out, and disappeared.

The coffin is still there, and the grave is still there.

But the person is gone.

The firebird tree swayed back and forth in the night wind, making a rustling sound, as if it was waving farewell, and it seemed to be talking about something.

……

Jiang Nan did not leave the academy immediately.

He is waiting for his 30-meter broadsword.

Shangguan Jun and Yong'an also left.

Because they were waiting for Jiang Nan to go on the road together.

After a few days of rest, the meridians in Jiang Nan's body finally returned to normal, and he began to refine Jingyuan Pill.

He planned to break through to the scorching sun realm in one fell swoop before leaving the academy.

Or refine the green fruit that is enough to support him to break through the scorching sun.

……

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Royal study.

Zhu Xuan listened to Wei Chun's report with stern eyes.

"Shenting really has revived!"

Now at least one-third of the 36 mansions of the Ming Dynasty have experienced strange incidents of varying degrees.

"The demon slaying division needs to arrange more manpower to eliminate this matter. The court must not be expanded. There is not enough manpower. We can draw from Hongwu Academy, and even absorb some masters from Jianghu sects."

Zhu Xuan said seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Chun clasped his fists and said.

"What's going on at the academy?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

"There are also people from Shenting in the academy."

Wei Chun said.

"What! Someone from Shenting appeared in the academy? Who is it?"

Zhu Xuan asked sullenly.

"It's Tang Xuelian, the Fourth Elder."

Wei Chun said.

"It turned out to be the elder of the academy! What did this Li Yuanlong do? Shang Zheng, what is he doing? The person who appeared in the courtyard of the academy didn't know until now. Do you really think the academy is his place to retire?"

Zhu Xuan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the matter hasn't reached that difficult point yet."

Wei Chun said quickly.

He understood that the emperor was very afraid of Shenting.

Other things are easy to talk about, but Shenting is a taboo of the Ming Dynasty.

Thirty years ago, Shenting almost overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for the Supreme Emperor's efforts to turn the tide back then, beheading countless people in the Shenting with thunder, and even the heads of the royal family, the Shenting almost ruled the entire dynasty.

Now, the Shenting, which had been extinct back then, appeared again. How could this not worry the emperor.

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan frowned slightly, and said, "Would you Wei Chun not know the danger of Shenting?"

"Of course I know. The people in Shenting are a group of brainwashed lunatics, and it is difficult to completely kill them." Wei Chun said: "But now there are only some temporary situations in some places, and everything is under our control.

As for the college, the matter of Shenting has been resolved.Tang Xuelian was the only one who joined the Shenting, and she had already been killed. "

"Did Li Yuanlong do it himself?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

"No, Jiang Nan did it."

Wei Chun said.

"Jiang Nan?"

Zhu Xuan was taken aback.

"If I remember correctly, then Tang Xuelian should be in the king realm?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chun said: "To be precise, she is at the peak of the King Conferred Realm. She has been hiding her strength for so many years."

Zhu Xuan looked surprised: "You mean, Jiang Nan killed Tang Xuelian who was at the peak of the King Conferred Realm?"

"No." Wei Chun said, "It's like this..."

Wei Chun then described the situation at that time.

Zhu Xuan's expression lifted after hearing this.

"Good guy, this kid is really nothing but a blockbuster!

Not only did he rescue the hostages by himself, but he also forcibly tore off the two arms of a strong man at the peak of the King Conferring Realm.

Hard enough!strong enough!So brave and generous!
People really need to grow up in adversity, and Jun Jian's method is really right!

It seems that I'm going to customize a plan for this kid again. "

Wei Chun also nodded.

Regarding Jiang Nan's stunning performance, he also did not expect it in advance.

This performance was far beyond his expectations.

After experiencing the surprise brought by Jiang Nan, Zhu Xuan's anger at Hongwu Academy's appearance of a person in the court of God subsided a little.

Look a little slow.

He sighed slightly and said: "I think that Shenting may have something to do with the weirdness, or even the devil's fetus.

From the point of view of time, it happened that after the magic fetus was released, it appeared strangely, and then the gods gradually appeared in the world.

I don't think it's a coincidence. "

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Wei Chun.

Wei Chun also looked solemn at this moment, nodded, and said: "I think so too, but there is no evidence to prove that there is a direct connection between them. I am still looking for the reason and the truth."

Zhu Xuan looked at Wei Chun, nodded, and said solemnly: "Wei Chun, I have given you the right to handle this matter specially.

I would rather kill by mistake than let one go!
Be sure to wipe out Shenting in the shortest possible time.

The damage to Shenting is too great, and I don't want what happened decades ago to happen again. "

Special matters!

Wei Chun's expression was shocked.

The emperor gave him too much power.

He can even take this opportunity to kill anyone.

Including the royal family!

It can be seen that Zhu Xuan is afraid of Shenting.

However, the more rights the emperor gave him, the more responsibility he felt.

For Wei Chun, he never thought that rights were a bargaining chip for him to do whatever he wanted, but a heavy responsibility.

At the same time, it is also the emperor's ardent hope and great trust in him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wei Chun cupped his fists and solemnly saluted Zhu Xuan.

Having said this, Zhu Xuan thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, how did the academy deal with that body of Tang Xuelian in the end?"

How to dispose of the dead body?

Wei Chun was slightly taken aback.

How else can this be handled?Do you still want to flog the corpse?
"Tang Xuelian is Shang Zheng's adoptive daughter, whose body was taken away by Shang Zheng and buried."

Wei Chun said truthfully.

"Including those two arms were also taken away. What Shang Zheng meant was to let her enter reincarnation after death, and find a good family in her next life..."

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly, but still felt uneasy.

If Shenting and Weird are really connected, any weird things may happen.

Then he said: "Send someone to open Tang Xuelian's grave to see if the body is there."

Pick up the grave?

Wei Chun glanced at Zhu Xuan, and thought to himself: Is the emperor overly careful about this matter, is it because he is worried about a dead body?
However, for the demon slayer, the so-called "the dead are the greatest" is not true.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Chun immediately cupped his fists and said.

Zhu Xuan could see that Wei Chun didn't pay much attention to this matter, and he said seriously: "Don't think that I'm playing tricks.

For weirdness, I'm afraid you haven't risen to a height of absolute vigilance.

Regarding Shenting and Weirdness, if one is not careful, the final price to be paid may be far beyond what we can imagine now.

Of course, I hope this is my worrying for nothing.

But with regard to the safety of the country, one cannot be too careful. "

Wei Chun looked serious, and hurriedly bowed his fists and saluted, saying: "Yes! I dare not be careless in the slightest. I will send a message right away."

Zhu Xuan nodded.

"My minister retire."

Wei Chun saluted and left immediately.

After leaving the imperial study room, he immediately fled away, and disappeared in the imperial city in a blink of an eye.

After a while, he returned to Demon Slayer.

hula la~
A top-notch Lightning Eagle appeared in front of him.

Wei Chun will immediately send the order written by Lightning Eagle to the Lightning Eagle.

"Rush to Hongwu Academy as quickly as possible, and hand it over to Ruan Zicheng."

The Lightning Eagle nodded, then flapped its wings and took off, several times faster than him, the Martial Emperor, before disappearing into Qingming in an instant.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

at dusk.

In Ruan Zicheng's residence at Hongwu College, a ray of light flashed past.

In an instant, a Lightning Eagle with disdainful eyes appeared.

"your letter."

The Lightning Eagle actually spoke a human word.

This Lightning Eagle is obviously a demon king.

Although the Lightning Eagle's tone was cold and impersonal, Ruan Zicheng didn't dare to neglect him at all.

Thank you quickly after receiving it.

Lightning Hawk nodded.

The rest of the matter is not its business, it is only responsible for delivering the information this time.

Then it flapped its wings and disappeared.

When Ruan Zicheng opened the letter, his expression changed immediately.

A letter from the big boss!
But when he read the contents of the letter, his face was serious immediately.

Without any hesitation at all, he went out immediately.

First came to Jiang Nan's residence.

Wang Cheng notified Jiang Nan, and then entered.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Jiang Nan asked.

The matter is very important, Ruan Zicheng didn't go around the bush, and said directly: "The leader sent a letter, he asked us to open Tang Xuelian's grave to see if there is any change."

Open Tang Xuelian's grave... Could it be that Tang Xuelian's body will mutate?

Jiang Nan was slightly taken aback.

But since it was what Wei Chun said, it is natural that there should be no slack in this matter.

"Have you notified the dean and the Supreme Elder?"

"Not yet, I will come to you as soon as I receive the letter."

Ruan Zicheng said.

Jiang Nan nodded, "Inform the Eldest Princess and Shangguan Jun that we will go to Tang Xuelian's grave first, and then inform the dean, the Supreme Elder, and other elders."

"it is good."

Ruan Zicheng naturally had no objection.

He originally thought so.

Jiang Nan asked Wang Cheng to inform Shangguan Jun, and he went directly to the residence of the eldest princess Yong'an.

Yong'an was adjusting her breath, but when she saw Jiang Nan coming, she stopped.

"Got to go?"

Yongan asked.

"No, I want you to dig the grave together."

Jiang Nan said.

"Digging a grave?" Yong'an was taken aback, "Whose grave is it digging?"

"Tang Xuelian."

Jiang Nan said.

Then he said the letter from the big leader again.

"I think this may be what His Majesty meant."

Jiang Nan continued.

Yong'an thought about it, nodded his head slightly, and felt that this possibility was very high.

For Shenting, Yong'an knew more about the royal family's classics than Jiang Nan.

She knew very well why her father was so afraid of Shenting.

"Walk."

Yongan said immediately without any hesitation.

The two left, and when they reached the door, they saw Shangguan Jun and Wang Cheng coming together.

"Meet the eldest princess."

Ruan Zicheng clasped his fists in salute.

Yong'an nodded his head.

Shangguan Jun clasped his fists and said, "Princess, what's the matter? Are you leaving?"

Yong'an said: "No, we went to the back mountain together."

"What are you doing in the back mountain?"

Shangguan Jun was puzzled.

"You will know when you go."

Jiang Nan said.

Shangguan Jun nodded suspiciously.

Then a group of people went straight to the back mountain together.

Jiang Nan and the others did not know the location of Tang Xuelian's grave.

But as the master of the Hall of Law Enforcement and the person in charge of the Skynet Division of the Monster Slayer Division in the college, Ruan Zicheng naturally knew the exact location.

After a stick of incense, everyone came to the back mountain and found the lonely grave of Tang Xuelian.

The firebird tree swayed slowly in the evening breeze, as if it was telling something.

Although it is a new tomb, it does not look like it has been dug again.

"The tomb should not have been touched."

Ruan Zicheng said.

Yong'an looked at Xinfen with calm eyes, and said: "Wang Cheng, Xiong Qi, go and invite the dean and the elders to come."

"Yes, princess."

Wang Cheng and Xiong Qi took orders and left.

After a while.

Shang Zheng and Li Yuanlong arrived first.

Both of them were Martial Emperors, after Wang Cheng and Xiong Qi informed them, they flew over first.

"Princess."

The two of them clasped their fists in salute to Yongan.

Yong'an nodded and looked at the two of them.

She didn't say the reason, but said directly: "I want to open the grave."

open grave?
Shang Zheng and Li Yuanlong were slightly taken aback.

But the two of them also thought of something at the same time, and their hearts sank slightly.

Could it be that Tang Xuelian had a corpse change?

But if Tang Xuelian really had a corpse change, how did the eldest princess know about it?
"can."

Shang Zheng nodded.

As Tang Xuelian's adoptive father, he needs to nod in agreement.

Of course, even if he disagreed, the grave had to be opened.

He knew very well that the eldest princess invited him and Li Yuanlong only for a witness.

Yong'an immediately said to the two inner guards, Zhao Xu and Zhang Sheng: "Open the grave!"

"Yes, princess."

Zhao Xu and Zhang Sheng took out their tools, and as masters, they dug up the grave, and within a few breaths, they completely exposed the coffin.

"Open."

Yongan said.

Jiang Nan quietly stepped forward and stood in front of Yong'an.

Yong'an was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Zhao Xu and Zhang Sheng opened the coffin immediately.

But after opening it, it surprised everyone.

"Princess, it's empty inside."

Zhao Xu said.

Yong'an pushed Jiang Nan away, and seeing that the coffin was empty, he turned to look at Shang Zheng.

With a cold face, he said, "Elder Supreme, please give me an explanation."

Shang Zheng was also dumbfounded.

Tang Xuelian's body was put down by himself, the coffin was also put down by him, and the soil was filled by himself.

But... what about the corpse?

Li Yuanlong looked at Shizun and said doubtfully, "Master, you..."

You must know that it was Shang Zheng who personally asked the eldest princess to bury Tang Xuelian's body.

The eldest princess agreed because he was the Supreme Elder of the academy.

But now, the body is gone.

This is too imaginative.

Because Tang Xuelian's identity is unusual, she is a member of Shenting.

Now that the body is gone, it is possible to give Shang Zheng a crime of shielding the gods and treason.

Looking at the empty coffin, Shang Zheng thought of some classics.

That was the time when the court of gods brought chaos to the Ming Dynasty...

For a while, the back was a little wet.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have gotten into trouble.

And it was a disaster.

He was clean and honest all his life, but in the end it turned out that he couldn't keep it at night.

"Princess, I did put down Tang Xuelian's body myself, nailed the coffin, and buried the soil, but the body is gone. I...I really don't know."

Shang Zheng stuttered at the end.

Yong'an stared at him and said, "In other words, Tang Xuelian ran away by herself!"

Jiang Nan stood beside Yong'an, looking closely at Shang Zheng, holding two 'Suppressing Evil Talismans' in each hand.

As long as Shang Zheng made any changes, he would release the two 'Suppressing Evil Talismans' without hesitation.

Moreover, he will also release Wei Chun's clone.

Although Jiang Nan's actions were secretive, how could Shang Zheng, who is the fifth heaven of the Martial Emperor, not know.

He sighed dejectedly, and instantly aged a bit.

"At present, it should be."

After a pause, Shang Zheng said again: "If she didn't guess wrong, she might have become weird. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave the coffin intact."

Surprising!

Jiang Nan, Yong'an and others were all shocked.

Immediately, Jiang Nan thought of the men in black they beheaded when they came to Hongwu Academy.

I don't know if those men in black have also become weird...

Not only Jiang Nan thought of this, Yongan and Shangguan Jun also thought of this, and they looked at Jiang Nan with a trace of worry in their eyes.

Zhao Xu and Zhang Sheng also thought of it, and they also looked serious.

Shang Zheng sighed and said, "It was my ignorance that allowed this to happen.

Although I don't know about this matter, this matter happened because of me, and I should bear the responsibility.

From now on, I will voluntarily guard the entrance of Diyuan, burn my body with evil spirit every day, and wait for the imperial court to judge me and punish me.

As for looking for weird things, I will trouble the demon master. "

As he spoke, he gave a deep salute to the eldest princess, and then slumped away.

Jiang Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shang Zheng really makes a move, no one here is his opponent.

At most, he could rely on the national teacher's "Suppressing Evil Talisman" and Wei Chun's avatar.

The rest is up to the dean Li Yuanlong.

If Li Yuanlong rebels, their situation will be very dangerous.

You must know that Li Yuanlong is also a Martial Emperor.

Of course, this possibility is unlikely.

He was able to appoint him as the dean of Hongwu College, but secretly he was investigated many times.

Personality is definitely fine.

Yong'an looked at the direction where Shang Zheng was going away, and said lightly, as if he meant something: "Tell the matter to the capital quickly."

Ruan Zicheng didn't say anything, but Jiang Nan nodded for him.

"Let's go."

Yongan Road.

How to solve this matter is naturally not something they can decide.

Shangzheng is Emperor Wu, and also the Supreme Elder of Daming Hongwu College, with a high position and authority.

How to deal with it, only the court can give a clear judgment.

The group left immediately.

Li Yuanlong still seems to have not recovered from the shock.

From the time when the coffin was opened to when his master Shang was leaving, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

He stared blankly at the empty coffin, feeling complicated.

It's hard to imagine that the junior sister who often talks with him has turned into a weird one.

The evening sun shone on him, making him look like a sculpture.

After a while, he sighed.

With a wave of his hand, Zhen Yuan covered the coffin, and at the same time, the soil outside covered it completely, almost returning to the original appearance of the tomb.

Then leave.

On the way back with Jiang Nan and Yongan, Wang Cheng and Xiong Qi also rushed over and found out about this matter.

Both of them felt shocked.

"The man in black..."

Xiong Qi couldn't help blurting out the thought of the man in black he met on the way here.

"Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Nan said.

In fact, everyone present knew about it, including Ruan Zicheng.

But this is the academy, some things can not be said outside, or should be avoided.

Everyone was silent along the way.

Back at the residence, people from the Artifact Refining Pavilion came to invite Jiang Nan, saying that it was the Pavilion Master Qin Jianqing who invited him.

Jiang Nan was overjoyed.

Obviously, that long knife was refined by Tan Jianqing.

"We can leave tomorrow," he said.

Yongan nodded.

Then Jiang Nan went to the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Come to the Refining Pavilion.

Tan Jianqing was already waiting there, and when he saw Jiang Nan coming, he took out a huge black knife.

This is a giant knife with a length of 30 meters on both sides.

Long handle, very similar to Mo Dao.

But it is longer, wider, and thicker than Mo Dao.

This is not easy to break.

It can be considered that this is an enlarged version of Mo Dao.

Jiang Nan took it.

So heavy!

At least thirty thousand catties.

It was heavier than the black iron rod he was holding before.

He is very satisfied with this.

In fact, such a knife does not make much sense for close combat at all.

Because it is too long.

But Jiang Nan wanted this knife not for close combat, but for group killing.

In group killings, such a long blade is equivalent to the extension of the sword energy, and he can unleash his physical strength unscrupulously.

Using his tens of thousands of catties to sweep directly, the power will be very strong, and the killing efficiency will be higher.

Moreover, Mo Dao not only has the advantage of a sword, but also takes into account marksmanship.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Jiang Nan clasped her fists and said.

Then put the giant knife directly into the three-color tree space.

"It is my honor to create such a knife for Jiang Shao."

Qin Jianqing clasped his fists and said.

Ten days ago, the scene where Jiang Nan tore off Tang Xuelian's arms in the sky is still vivid.

For Jiang Nan, he admired him even more.

Although Tang Xuelian usually shows that she is the seventh heaven of the King Conferred Realm, she is the weakest of all the elders.

But what she showed that time was at the peak of the King Conferred Realm, which was at the same level as the Great Elder Yan Bining.

This scene shocked everyone.

But it was such a strong man at the peak of the King's Realm who was actually lost in the hands of a junior who was only at the Pill Palace Realm.

It can be seen that Jiang Nan's strength is not what it seems on the surface.

But very powerful.

Strong enough to threaten the king realm.

Qin Jianqing even thought that with Jiang Nan's 30-meter broadsword, if an ordinary King Conferring Realm were to confront Jiang Nan head-on, he would probably be killed by Jiang Nan with a single blow.

His strength is simply too great.

One power down ten sessions!

Although Fengwangjing can fly, Jiang Nan's 30-meter long knife can completely offset his shortcoming of not being able to fly.

Before flying out of the 30-meter range, he was overtaken by the long knife.

Of course, this is also because the speed of flying in the early days of the King Conferred Realm was not fast enough.

In the middle stage of King Conferring Realm, the flying speed soared, and the speed at which Jiang Nan swung the big knife was difficult to be effective.

In addition, once King Fengjing flew into the sky and directly killed Jiang Nan from a long distance, Jiang Nan was still helpless.

In short, this 30-meter long knife is definitely like a tiger with wings for Jiang Nan.

After bidding farewell to Qin Jianqing, Jiang Nan returned to his residence.

Day two.

In the see-off of Li Yuanlong and other elders and a group of disciples, Jiang Nan, Yong'an, Shangguan Jun and his group left Hongwu Academy.

……

Western Regions.

This is a gathering place of demon clan.

Under the setting sun, a red figure stood there quietly.

All the monster races in the surrounding area were swallowed up and died, each one of them shriveled like a defeated leather, lying on the ground staggeringly.

This red figure is Tang Xuelian.

She held out her right hand.

At this time, the right hand has been completely solidified, and the ten fingers are slender, as warm as jade.

"No.20 three tribes..."

Tang Xuelian murmured.

After devouring the demon clan of 23 tribes, she finally restored her own origin and pushed her cultivation to the peak of the king realm again.

It is said that the best way to devour the essence is double cultivation, so as to absorb the purest source of essence.

But for a woman who loves beauty, Tang Xuelian would never do double cultivation with these ugly monster races.

Therefore, she devoured these monster races in the most rude and direct way, that is, knocking off their celestial spirit covers.

She wants double cultivation, and she also wants to be as handsome as a fairy like Jiang Nan.

Of course, her double cultivation was not only for pleasure, but more importantly, it cost Jiang Nan's life.

"It's almost time, it's time to find him..."

Tang Xuelian looked at the east, her eyes were as bright as rubies.

A bewitching smile with murderous intent appeared on her coquettish and flowery face.

Jiang Nan...wait for me!
I am coming……
