Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 287 Demon King
"Kill!" Hong San, the head of the family, roared angrily, leading the remaining Hong family disciples to kill him as well.

The humiliation and hatred I suffered just now will all be repaid!

They didn't spare any of those who knelt down to beg for mercy.

After all, this is a blood feud that wipes out the entire family!
Xu Gu quietly watched the hysterical Hong family and Hong Shen flying in the sky and chasing them, without any thought of intervening.

Just waiting for Hong Shen to resolve the grievances here as a bystander.

After that, he will follow Xu Guan to Xianlin Town and regain his life as a servant of the God's Curse.

The lingering sounds of the fighting dissipated quickly.

All those forces that turned against the Hong family and backstabbed them were destroyed by Hong Shen.

All I can say is that retribution comes too quickly.

Clang!
The Zipin long sword was half-cut upside down on the ground. In the ruins, Hong Shen faced Xu Guan, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his head in submission.

"Let's go, it's time to leave." Xu Gu'an said.

Hong Shen nodded and stood up.

Looking back at the almost destroyed Whale City, it was time for him to cut off the past and follow Xu Guan away.

"Ancestor, please take us with you!"

"Sir, the entire Hong family is willing to follow our ancestors and serve you together!" Hong San put down his blood-stained sword and said respectfully under the ruins.

"Huh?" Xu Guan looked at Hong Shen standing aside.

"If you don't mind it," Hong Shen said immediately. He had no objection to the Hong family's loyalty to the whole family.

Xu Guan nodded and looked at the remaining Hong family disciples.

The number was not large. Counting some generals with foreign surnames, there were only 50 people left in total.

However, there are a few of them who are strong in transforming energy and have a certain cultivation value. In the future, they may even be able to step into the master realm with the help of the golden divine spell.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with accepting these Hong family children.

Of course, he would only select a few of these people who had the strength to become the servants of the Divine Curse, leaving the rest to Hong Shen or the original head of the family, Hong San.

Xu Guan gave Hong San the coordinate address of Xianlin Town and asked them to pack up and bring many important assets of the Hong family.

After the explanation, he and Hong Shen left first.

Wu Guangxin was left here by him to inquire about the follow-up of the Moon Demon Group incident.

Today is when Xu Guan arrives. If Xu Guan doesn't come, the situation will be extremely serious or even tragic.

The entire Whale City area will probably be slaughtered by the [-] cultists and the moon demon!
As well as several powerful human masters, including Hong Shen, it may be difficult to escape the pursuit of those moon demons, and eventually become the best nourishment for the moon demons to evolve and become stronger.

Once word spreads, the seriousness of this incident will inevitably cause an uproar in the entire human cultivation world.

Xu Guan naturally wanted to pay attention to the follow-up of this incident.

As for the twelve moon demon corpses, he asked Wu Guangxin to collect them all and send them back to Xianlin Town.

The two hurried on at master-level flying speed and arrived in less than two days.

Away from that whirlpool of trouble, Hong Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

He now needs to cultivate and master the ability of the divine curse seal in his body, which also requires his time and energy. He really has no time to continue to wade in the muddy waters.

"Sir." Zhang Yang saw Xu Guan coming back.

"This is Mr. Hong, a powerful master. Let's arrange a place for him first." Xu Guan ordered.

Zhang Yang felt his heart tremble, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice without any trace.

Tang Hongtian before, Hong Shen this time.

He didn't know what extraordinary means his young master used to recruit two powerful masters!
This is a powerful master!

Even though he had already seen a lot of the market with Xu Guan, he still couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.

Before this, he had never heard of any strong master who would be willing to defect to someone and become a subordinate.

Beings as powerful as them should stand upright and enjoy supreme status and prestige.

Who is qualified to gain the allegiance of such top figures?

It can only be said that Xu Guan refreshed his knowledge again.

"This is Zhang Yang, my chief butler. If I'm not here on weekdays, you can discuss anything with him." Xu Gu'an finished the brief introduction to each other in a few words.

Hong Shi was also a human being, and he immediately understood that Zhang Yang had a very high status in Xu Guan's position, similar to being the head of internal affairs under Xu Guan.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Hong Shen said to Zhang Yang with a faint smile, reciprocating the favor.

Zhang Yang suddenly felt honored and raised his hand to salute.

"Mr. Hong, please come this way."

As he said that, he also noticed the injuries on Hong Shen's body. Since Hong Shen had not fully grasped the curse seal that Xu Guan planted in his body, after so long, only a small part of his severed limbs had been repaired. Has not recovered.

Zhang Yang didn't ask anything about this.

No matter what, this is a strong master, and his addition will greatly increase the combat power of Xianlin Town and even the entire Xu Guan's command.

With two powerful masters and their own son in charge, Xianlin Town is probably the most stable and safe town in the world.

Zhang Yang even felt that he would no longer need to consider the defense of the town for a long time in the future.

Anyone who comes here looking for trouble will be 100% free of charge.

"Mr. Hong, please rest and recuperate here first, I won't disturb you." After sending Hong Shen to a secluded single-family house, he also saw that Hong Shen urgently needed to rest, so he did not interrupt and saluted directly. Farewell.

He also thoughtfully dispatched a few clever subordinates to take charge of Hong Jin's daily life and janitor work.

After all, as a strong master, it is unreasonable and inconvenient not to have anyone to send people to do things on weekdays.

On the other side, Xu Guan returned to his mansion, and bursts of laughter like silver bells came from the inner courtyard.

Xu Guan glanced briefly and saw that Xiaoyao was playing and messing around with his Tianji Beast.

Since moving into Xianlin Town, Xu Guan often goes out and it is inconvenient to bring the Tianji Beast with him.

Therefore, the day-to-day responsibility for taking care of the little beast is simply left to Xiaoyao who stays at home.

One person and one animal have been getting along fairly well lately.

Xiaoshou treats Xiaoyao a little less affectionately and a little more mischievously. His relationship style is more like a friend or a shit-sucker, and he often plays and fights.

To Xu Guan, he was as close as mother and son, more dependent on him.

"Ah, sir, you are back!"

When Xiaoyao saw Xu Guan coming back, she couldn't help but smile even brighter, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she looked very happy.

The little beast rolled on the grass, quickly got up, and flew towards Xu Guan.

Ask for delicious food when you meet.

Xu Guan casually took out a high-level animal milk from the inventory, poured it into a bowl and put it down.

The little beast immediately started licking it with satisfaction.

Compared to before, it licks much faster now, and its food intake has increased several times.

However, its size is still small. It has grown in size, but it is still very limited.

For the time being, it has not awakened any other magical abilities other than fire-breathing. Xu Guan still only keeps it as a small pet.

As his own strength improves rapidly, he gradually does not expect the little beast to bring him much help or reward in the future.

Just looking at it every day to look cute is enough, at least the mood will be more beautiful.

On the other side, as word spread about the evil disaster in the Whale City area, it indeed attracted widespread attention from the human race.In particular, the major forces from all parties are particularly concerned about this matter.

It was an extremely rare situation in the past for twelve moon demons to form a team in a row.

It is said that this also alarmed many reclusive old masters.

Within a few days, some top masters were wandering around the Xuanji Sea area and conducting some exploration.

The returning Cangshi of Qingcang Mountain, as an insider, returned to this place again.

"right here."

Cangshi stands in the sky, with the destroyed Whale City below.

Nowadays, there are not many people in Whale City. Everyone is running away, not wanting to stay in this terrifying hell for a long time. However, within a few days, no one can be seen.

A century-old city-state in one place disappeared without a trace, which shows the destructive power of evil spirits.

The sky where Cangshi is located is the first location where they encountered the siege of the twelve-headed moon demon.

The sky was overcast at first, but today it is cloudless and sunny.

Looking around, there was nothing.

There are several people with extraordinary auras following Cang Master. They are able to stand in the sky high in the sky. They are undoubtedly strong masters.

Several people made unified fingerprints with their hands, closed their eyes and diffused their perception, gradually spreading farther and farther.

"The evil spirit here is condensed and not dispersed, and the demons have not yet been exterminated." One person sighed secretly.

"Well, there is still something going on here and further investigation is needed." Another strong master nodded, his face becoming more and more serious.

"I always feel that there is a bigger root cause in this matter that has not yet been identified."

Several people were talking to each other, and Master Cang frowned as he listened.

He knew the origins of these powerful masters, and they were high-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

In terms of their understanding of evil and their professional abilities in slaying demons, these people are all professionals.

"So, there are more moon demons hiding here?!" Master Cang couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's worse. Not only ordinary moon demons exist. In other words, the opportunity to summon so many moon demons may be that there is a demon king here!"

One of the demon slayers who looked the oldest shook his head and sighed.

"Demon King." Master Cang's heart skipped a beat, he knew something.

On top of ordinary demons, there are demons that evolve to stronger levels.

Those demons are called demon kings or demon kings.

It is even said that the evil demon that devours the strong master of the human race will have the opportunity to become the demon king and devil king.

The flesh and blood of the powerful masters who have cultivated to the highest level in the human race are the best nutrients for evil demons to evolve!
"I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"If it is really the Demon King, this matter needs to be reported further, and at least one of the eight flaws in the alliance will need to be dispatched."

"Let's investigate first. It's just speculation at the moment. Only when we have more clues can we invite those people."

"Ah."

Several powerful masters were talking to each other and making decisions.

Master Cang on the side is not a member of the Demon Slayer Alliance. He shook his head and said: "This matter is beyond my ability. I forgive you for not being able to accompany me in the subsequent investigation."

"It's okay, thank you for guiding me on this trip." One person nodded, but there was no strange look on his face because of Master Cang's retreat.

"Speaking of which, what have you considered? With your strength, there is no problem at all in joining the Demon Slayer Alliance." Another person suddenly asked.

Master Cang smiled faintly, "I'm used to Xianyun Yehe, thank you for the invitation."

He declined politely.

The person who asked the question frowned slightly, "You should know the benefits of joining the alliance, right?"

"I know a little bit, but what I want to practice is that there is not only one bright path to choose from." Master Cang nodded and said.

"Since you have made your decision, we will not disturb you too much. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to us."

"Thank you." Master Cang said politely and prepared to leave.

Suddenly someone asked again: "By the way, where are the bodies of the moon demons? Have they been dealt with?"

Master Cang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I did not handle those Moon Demon corpses. I entrusted this matter to a friend that day."

Just as they were talking, several people suddenly turned their heads and looked at the Xuanji Sea in the distance!
There seemed to be terrible waves surging on the sea, as if they were about to break through the sky.

"Magic energy explodes!"

"It's troublesome"

"If there was only a [-]% to [-]% chance of a demon king being born just now, the probability is at least over [-]% now."

"Contact the Alliance, this matter is beyond our capabilities!"

Just when several people were on guard, a dark cloud gathered and enveloped several people without warning.

An extremely deep and terrifying aura followed, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"not good!"

Several people were covered in the Grandmaster's energy and looked up.

This dark cloud covered thousands of meters, and a gap suddenly opened in the clouds as it rolled violently, like a magic eye, watching a few people.

Master Cang felt that his whole body was cold and stiff, and his heart was horrified.

"what is this!!"

He had never experienced such a panic moment.

Even though he had been surrounded and suppressed by more than ten moon demons before, it did not bring him such a sense of oppression at that time.

The next moment, Master Cang felt that his eyes were darkened, as if all the light between heaven and earth had been lost in an instant.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and two figures fell from the sky like meteors.

It crashed into the ground, creating two large potholes.

Two people crawled out of the pit, it was Master Cang and one of the powerful masters of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

Both of them looked in extremely bad condition at the moment.

"Let's go!" The strong master of the Demon Slayer Alliance raised his hand, and his energy swept up Cangshi, turning into a stream of light and flying away into the distance.

As for the rest of the powerful masters who were traveling with them, there was no trace at all.

In June, the dry season arrives.

Zhang Yang made himself a pot of tea in the government cabinet and leisurely enjoyed the rare afternoon sunshine.

Now the operating system of Xianlin Town has been almost completed by him.

Many important positions have been filled by suitable candidates, and he does not need to do everything himself or worry too much.

Even the arrival of this dry season will not affect the development of the town.

Even in terms of food, which is the most scarce in the dry season, farming is intensive after the beginning of spring, and the fertile soil outside the town has basically been used.

Nowadays, many of the government's granaries are full to the brim, and many residents have stockpiled a lot of food in their homes, making adequate preparations for the coming dry season.

Everything is the result of advance preparation and orderly arrangement.
