I am the only devil in the whole world of cultivation

Chapter 46 Lord of the Demon Realm
After a brief exchange of greetings, Mingxin arranged accommodation for everyone one by one.

Because it was almost evening when Xie Zhengliu and the others arrived, so everyone hurriedly fell asleep without having time to learn more about the Crying Ghost City.

But they didn't know that when the night completely plunged the city into darkness, wisps of black mist would quietly emerge from the ground.

The twisted shadows on the tall city wall moved slowly, and the formation on the city gate also changed unconsciously...

Xie Zhengliu was the first one to wake up the next day. Mingxin had reminded them last night that they, the newcomers, would follow the team on patrol today.

It is said that this is the fastest way for newcomers to get familiar with the Crying Ghost City.

However, Mingxin was considerate of Xie Zhengliu, the youngest of the four, so he put them into the same team. The team leader was Yuan Hao, who had been mentioned frequently before.

They would be late for patrol on the first day, so Xie Zhengliu called the other three people out of bed.

By the time they arrived at the gate of the station, Yuan Hao's team had already gathered a lot of people.

Yuan Hao is a very orthodox swordsman. When Xie Zhengliu saw him for the first time, he thought he was a younger version of the third elder.

But looking at the other person's slightly gentle eyebrows, he is obviously more mellow and cheerful than his master.

The third elder should have told him to take care of his junior brother a long time ago.So before everyone arrived, Yuan Hao came over to say hello to the four of them, and patted his junior brother on the shoulder like Ming He: "Not bad, you have succeeded in building the foundation at such a young age, and you are even more powerful than your senior brother before! In the next ten days, you must patrol closely with senior brother, and the future Weeping Ghost City will be left in your hands to protect."

"Yes, senior brother!" Yue Mingchou and Qin Siyuan answered the loudest.

Patrolling in the Crying Ghost City is not a simple job. The disciples of Hengtian Sect were divided into five teams, and each team had almost twenty people.These five teams are required to patrol the five areas in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Crying Ghost City. Once they find signs of demonic energy leaking or monsters escaping, they must be eliminated immediately.

Xie Zhengliu and the others were assigned to the central area with the largest cracks. During the first six days of patrolling, they had to deal with at least ten cases of monsters escaping every day.

If they encounter low-level monsters, it's fine. Only Yuan Hao can deal with them. But if they encounter powerful monsters, it's a trivial matter for them to lose arms and legs. The most troublesome thing is the erosion of demonic energy.

Because spiritual energy and demonic energy are mutually exclusive, if a monk is eroded by demonic energy, his body will quickly decay and rot, which cannot be cured by any high-level alchemist or medical practitioner.

It is also because of this that the major sects pay such a high price and arrange for the best disciples to be stationed here.

Incidents occurred frequently in Crying Ghost City, and disciples of the Hengtian Sect were constantly injured. Most of the resources that Xie Zhengliu and the others had just sent were consumed in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Hao once told them that this period was the most active period in the Demon Realm, which was why the situation in Crying Ghost City was so severe.If we wait a few more months, there won't be so many things to deal with.

Xie Zhengliu was curious when he heard this: "Senior brother, why is the Demon Realm so active during this time?"

When she was the master of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm did not seem to be as abnormal as it is now.

Yuan Hao said: "You are young and don't know yet. Every April and May, it is the birthday of the Lord of the Demon Realm. Once his birthday comes, the Demon Clan will hold a grand celebration. In order to present a gift to the Demon Lord, this group of The demons will be like crazy trying to break out of the cracks and go to the outside world to find valuable things."

The Demon Lord’s birthday?
As the former Demon Lord, Xie Zhengliu tilted his head, wondering why these guys didn't want to celebrate her birthday when she was in power.Not to mention the celebration, those guys didn't even give her any gifts!
Xie Zhengliu, who felt that he had lost a large amount of treasure, felt silently and heartbroken. He could only continue to ask Yuan Hao: "Speaking of which, we don't even know what the current Demon Lord is called. Why don't you tell us, senior brother?" He was full of satisfaction to the four people. With expectant eyes, Yuan Hao was not willing to disappoint them, and immediately said: "The origin of the current Lord of the Demon Realm is unknown. We only heard from a few captured high-level demons that he came from a place deeper than the Demon Realm. He came from nowhere. He didn't have a name at first, and he wasn't strong enough. He became the current demon lord by devouring many demons. So his name was also stolen from other demons."

"There are rumors that he has been looking for someone, but maybe too much time has passed and he has forgotten the name and appearance of the person. But more demons told us that he was a madman, someone that even demons would be afraid of. madman."

"His name is Shen Zhuoyu."

"Shen, Zhuo, Yu? This really doesn't sound like the name of a demon lord." Xie Zhengliu commented, not at all domineering like her name.

So what ability does this person have that he actually allows the entire Demon Realm to hold a celebration for him? !

……

Night soon fell, and when the surroundings returned to silence, in the corner of the Weeping Ghost City, a young man slowly opened his eyes wrapped in black mist.

He raised his fingers with difficulty, and his stiff body slowly came under his control again.

When the young man finally sat up, he waved his hand impatiently to disperse the black mist around him, and then took a deep breath of the spiritual air.

The moment the spiritual energy poured into his lungs, his lungs felt like burning pain, but the young man seemed not to feel it. He just kept looking at the starry sky above his head, his eyes full of surprise: "So, this is what it looks like outside. It seems that it was well worth the effort to get out of there for so long.”

His voice was low and deep, and soon fell into the night wind.

When the moonlight shines through the dark clouds to this corner, the young man's figure has long since disappeared, leaving only a faint black mist.

Naturally, the young man was not the only one who took advantage of the darkness. The black figures on the city wall were still working hard as in previous nights.

The moment when a corner of the formation at the city gate was finally completely modified.

The gentle wind in the Weeping Ghost City suddenly became fierce, and the howling wind seemed to be mixed with the miserable cries of countless people, just like the roaring and crying of resentful ghosts.

The formation continued to operate, but it no longer protected this miraculous city, but instead turned into a solid barrier, trapping the people inside.

The black shadows on the city wall were no longer cautious, but suddenly gathered into a group.The black shadow twisted into a human form, and a white-haired old man holding a skull staff slowly walked out of the black shadow.

He looked at the city in front of him and showed a satisfied smile: "That's great. This full of vitality is exactly what I need!"

Accompanied by the old man's weird laughter, the black shadows under his feet quickly ran in all directions.

At the same time, Xie Zhengliu, who was still meditating in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.
