Chapter 466 Burying the Scholar Demon Lord
Shuqiu City, which had been ravaged by the demon army, had become a ruin.

At this time, after experiencing even more brutal firepower from combat mechas, the city suddenly became an even more complete ruin.

Countless buildings were still burning in the aftermath of the recent explosion. The flickering flames illuminated Wang Zhifan, who was standing alone in the city, and the tall mecha Sirius standing next to him, whose surface changed from light to dark.

"A demon lord is coming this way. I have to leave quickly."

Wang Zhifan took out the Demon Sealing List and glanced at the map. As expected, he found that the earth-shaking noise before attracted the nearby demonic forces to approach. After all, this place could be regarded as the base camp of the demon world in the disaster area, and the demons were relatively densely distributed.

However, he did not quickly put on his wind-hiding hat and leave in stealth. Instead, he raised his hand to put away the mecha beside him and put it into his personal space, then looked at the corpse of someone lying on the ground in front of him with his eyes closed and smiling.

There is no doubt that Zhang Siqian had passed away completely at this moment, ending his young and tragic life.

But in a sense, he was also happy, at least at the last moment of his life, he fulfilled his wish to avenge the demon with his own hands, otherwise he would not have died with a relieved smile.

"Mr. Zhang, since we have known each other for a long time, I will simply dig a grave for you... In this land where you have lived for twenty years, on the path of the flames that are about to spread... I hope you can happily reunite with your family down there."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan decided to bury Zhang Siqian's body on the spot. After all, this is Shuqiu City, the place where he was born and raised, and he should be happy to rest here forever.

Considering that demons would arrive later, the newly buried body might not be safe and might be dug out and eaten. So Wang Zhifan decided to bury him where the fire spread, letting the raging flames devour his body and turn it into ashes.

These things may not be done quickly for a civilian, but with Wang Zhifan's current strength, he only needs to use the active mode of the epic biological force field with a wave of his hand, and a perfect earth pit will be blasted into it by the powerful force field. Then he put Zhang Siqian's body in it, covered it with a thin layer of soil, and added a few pieces of ignition materials, and the job was done.

"Goodbye, Master Zhang."

After quickly finishing the work, Wang Zhifan said his final farewell to the deceased, then put on his Fengyin hat, entered invisible state, flew away, and rushed to the next exploration location.

For a period of time that followed, Wang Zhifan did not encounter any abnormal situations.

He silently went to the locations of the remaining Demon Lords and found that they were not the targets he was looking for, nor were there any particularly suitable conditions for his attack. So he came and went quietly and rushed to the area near Xuanzhou to explore.

Until late at night that day, he had not discovered the existence of any suspected targets, but he encountered two more of the Demon Lords for free and gladly sent them to heaven.

"My goodness, how come I have more than 14,000 merit points... 2,000 more than the second-ranked Wu Tian Dao Ren, so this is how I am so lucky?"

Feeling that there was no hope of achieving his goal today, Wang Zhifan habitually took out the Demon Sealing List and took a look, and found that his current score was at the top of the list, just as outrageous as that of the Demon Tathagata back then.

"There is still no news from those two old men. It seems that they haven't detected the target's movements either."

Then he contacted Taoist Wutanwudi and the old man Fumo, and after confirming that there was no progress on their side, he teleported directly back to the vicinity of Tianyuan City, and cleaned up a group of approaching demon armies. After finishing the work, he returned to the city to rest.

It can be said that today's Tianyuan City ranks among the top ten in the entire disaster area in terms of safety.

There has always been the super-innate Taoist master Zhenxuzi in charge inside, and the outside has been plowed over and over again by him, who is on the top of the Demon Sealing List. There is also the equally powerful dragon girl Mie Yuexi who comes to help from time to time.

In addition, a large number of innate monks and a demon-hunting team composed of three players in the city fought hard. Tianyuan City was not in any substantial danger except for the attack by the Demon Lord of the Demon World Organization. Any demon army that dared to approach was destroyed very quickly.

"Let's meditate and practice for a while. I feel like my three Lv3 skills are showing signs of breakthroughs. I need to add some fuel to the fire."

The reason why Wang Zhifan returned to the Wuzun Hall in Tianyuan City was not because he was really lazy, but because he wanted to combine work and rest and squeeze out time to do some basic improvements in his daily routine of killing the Demon Lord.

In the past few months, he has fought many battles with the Demon Lords almost every day. He has acquired a lot of practical experience and has also made a lot of progress in his martial arts.

In addition to the Great Dream Sword Sutra which was upgraded from Lv6 to Lv7, the other three skills also brought about many insights, which were more effective than practicing hard behind closed doors, except for the final kick to break the door.

So he first had the usual chat with the Dragon Girl on the Moon-Destroying Island, and then concentrated on meditating and practicing in the inner hall until the early morning.

But just when he had a premonition of a breakthrough, he suddenly got feedback that the Demon Sealing List had received a communication from a designated friend.

"Is there any news about that Demon Lord?"

Like a conditioned reflex, Wang Zhifan came to this inference. Without hesitation, he came out of his state of meditation and summoned the Demon Sealing List to check the news from the second and third places on the list.

"Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di: Wu Zun, I have deduced from the few traces left by this enemy that it left Xuanzhou yesterday and should be in the western Ruizhou area now! We have found the wrong place!"

"The Demon Subduing Old Man: Taoist Wu Tian told me that the Demon Lord was in Ruizhou, so I checked the puppet I placed in Ruizhou a month ago. It turned out that my puppet had just been destroyed by a powerful enemy, and the puppet's memory showed that the enemy was very powerful. I suspect it was the Demon Lord! Jin Lianzi has already gone to investigate with several monks!"

As expected, the news brought by the two old men was related to the target Demon Lord, and this time the intelligence seemed very accurate, narrowing the target Demon Lord's activity range to a relatively narrow degree, and experts had already gone to hunt.

After the exchange, Wang Zhifan felt a little speechless again, and said in his heart:

"These two old men are really strong, why don't they fight by themselves? Why do they have to instigate others to go... Old people really become smart..."

Realizing that Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di and the old man Fu Mo were unwilling to take action against the powerful enemy first, Wang Zhifan understood that this time the danger should be very great. Only passionate young people would be willing to challenge, while the cunning old ones were unwilling to take the risk.

From a utilitarian point of view, Wang Zhifan doesn't need to rush to deal with this potential powerful enemy. His merit points on the Demon Sealing List are already extremely high. Even if this piece of fat meat is taken by other cultivators, it will not shake his number one position on the list.

It would be even better if other monks could not take it. If he took action later, he might be able to obtain more intelligence and ensure his personal safety to a greater extent.

But Wang Zhifan is not the kind of person who cares about the number one position on the list. In his mind, he always puts clearing this copy first.

Therefore, his personal inclination is to destroy as many forces of the demon world army as possible, especially to destroy the core forces represented by the Demon Lord. Therefore, he cannot tolerate the Demon Lord who killed many top monks to continue to live, and it is even more unacceptable to let him continue to slaughter the monks in the disaster realm.

This means that his only option is to attack immediately and help his allies kill the powerful enemy as quickly as possible.

So Wang Zhifan immediately sent a message to Jin Lianzi, expressing his hope to join forces with them to eliminate the demon.

He had seen Jin Lianzi at the Fire Spirit Island meeting, but he had rarely encountered him in previous battles.

The main impression is that of a young monk with a golden lotus pattern on his bald head. He has good strength and achievements, and is currently ranked ninth on the Demon Sealing List.

After the communication was sent, Jin Lianzi did not respond quickly, so Wang Zhifan figured out the teleportation location on the Demon Sealing List map by himself. He planned to choose a similar place from the known locations and teleport there if there was no further information.

Because it was already early morning, the teleportation function of the Demon Sealing List was refreshed and he could attack or provide support at any time.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't receive a response from Jin Lianzi. He felt something was wrong, so he looked at the Demon Sealing List.

The result was not as bad as he had imagined. The name of Jin Lianzi, who was ranked ninth on the Demon Sealing List, was still in its normal dark black color, indicating that he was still alive.

"Could it be that this bald guy doesn't want me to share his merit points with him? Or is he busy and has no time to reply to me?"

Wang Zhifan, feeling a little puzzled, immediately decided not to wait any longer. According to the location he had just determined, he activated the Demon Sealing List's teleportation ability and went to Ruizhou, the disaster zone.

Ruizhou is a small state in the west of the disaster area, but unlike many people's impression that the west is a desolate place, it is a good place with good weather and good harvests, so it got the name "Rui".

It is said that the area is densely populated and has wealthy residents. Also, because it is far away from Xuanzhou in the east where the demon army descended, it can be regarded as a state that is currently less invaded by demons. Therefore, many civilians in the disaster area are migrating there collectively.

Wang Zhifan had arrived in a city in Ruizhou late at night. Wearing a Fengyin hat, he found that the lights were on. There were many civilians walking back and forth on the streets under the starlight. The city was as lively as Tianyuan City, and there was no sign of invasion by the demon army.

But the reason why Wang Zhifan chose to teleport here is because there are three Demon Lords here. He came here to investigate with preparations for battle, but he found that the human beings here were fine, which really made him feel incredible.

"The Demon Sealing List shows that there are clearly three Demon Lords here, but what I see is a peaceful and tranquil scene... Could it be that the Demon Lords here are different and don't like to cause destruction or eat people?"

Feeling very curious, he remained invisible and immediately rushed to the locations of the three Demon Lords shown on the map.

The three of them are currently gathered together not far from him, also in the city of Ruizhou.

When Wang Zhifan approached quietly, he found that the location of the Demon Lord shown on the Demon Sealing List map was in a restaurant, a small restaurant with only three floors that looked ordinary.

"It looks like they are three small demon lords, otherwise this place would definitely not be able to accommodate them."

Wang Zhifan immediately pondered in his mind and released his powerful perception to determine that there were three powerful evil auras gathered in one place in the restaurant ahead, and they were all in human form.

Humanoid demon lords are actually not uncommon. Many demon lords or demons have appearances similar to humans, but their appearances are only slightly similar.

Anyone who sees demons would never mistake them for humans. They are two different species with huge differences that can be seen at a glance.

"Strange... A bloodthirsty demon king like the Demon Lord would hide in a small restaurant... Something is wrong... Something is wrong..."

Wang Zhifan, who felt something was wrong, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move closer to investigate. Instead, he released a clone of himself and let the clone investigate on his behalf. It silently disappeared into the wall of the restaurant.

Not long after, in the feedback vision of my clone, Wang Zhifan saw three targets in the restaurant.

They were three beings who looked no different from humans. If it weren't for the aura of the Demon Lord emanating from them, they would be almost the same as ordinary humans.

The most conspicuous one among them was dressed in white as a young scholar. He was sitting in front of a wooden table, holding a jade folding fan in one hand and shaking it slightly, and holding a black piece in the other hand with a thoughtful look on his face. He was playing Go with an old human with a wrinkled face and messy white hair across the table.

The other two demon lords looked like middle-aged servants dressed in grey cloth. They lowered their heads and bent their bodies, waiting on both sides of the scholar in white, with the postures of complete servants.

"This demon lord scholar in white seems to have the aura of Emperor Tianhua... I can sense that he is very powerful... Maybe he is the target I am looking for...

Oh, that jasper folding fan in his hand looks familiar... There are dragon patterns on the fan... It also exudes an extraordinary spiritual charm... Could it be the sage-given treasure, the Youlong Jade Folding Fan, that the Confucian master Xiaoyao Youlong always carries with him? ! I'm afraid it can't be wrong now!"

In less than half a second, the clone that Wang Zhifan sent into the tavern to investigate obtained a very unexpected result, that is, he seemed to have found the real culprit directly, the mysterious Demon Lord who killed the top masters of the Demon Sealing List, Xiaoyao Youlong, Emperor Tianhua, and Damao Jueqiang.

For a moment, Wang Zhifan, who felt that this scholar-demon lord was completely different from those he had met before, remained silent. He did not choose to rush in and fight directly, but instead retreated a distance to avoid alerting the enemy.

In addition to the fact that this place is a densely populated disaster city and it is not suitable to start a war directly, the more important reason is that he intuitively sensed the danger and intuitively felt that this Demon Lord was extremely dangerous.

"This idea is difficult! Come and help me!"

Feeling the situation was difficult, Wang Zhifan immediately started to mobilize people. He summoned the Demon Sealing List and quickly sent messages for help to the Taoist Wutanwudi and the Old Man Fumo, hoping that they could teleport over to lend a helping hand.

After a few breaths, responses came from the second and third place:
"Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di: Martial Master! I have calculated that this demon is extremely powerful and cannot be defeated. Please evacuate immediately!"

"Old Man Fu Mo: Don't panic, Wu Zun! Wait for a moment in a safe place! I will send my strongest clone to help you!"
