Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 186 Red Insect King: Zuo Zhengtao, are you an immortal? !
Red worm king?
Why target yourself?

Li Changsheng frowned deeply. He couldn't figure out why the Red Insect King was targeting him?
Although he was involved in the Demon Slayer Department, he was just an ordinary worshiper.

In terms of hatred value, it cannot compare to Yun Qingyi and the three deputy commanders.

The Red Insect King did not target Yun Qingyi and the three deputy commanders, but instead focused on himself.

This thing is full of weirdness.

For a moment, Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.

"Deputy Commander Guo, what are you going to do about the Red Insect King?" Li Changsheng couldn't think of a clue, so he stopped thinking and turned to Deputy Commander Guo.

Deputy Commander Guo also had a solemn expression on his face and nodded, his tone full of caution.

"Among the seven demon kings, the Red Insect King is not known for his fighting prowess."

"But in terms of being weird and unpredictable, the other six demon kings combined are far inferior to the Red Insect King."

If the Red Insect King was really capable of taking down him, why would he use such a troublesome method to deceive himself?
Wouldn't it be enough to just come and arrest him?

"Deputy Commander Guo, does the Demon Slayer Department have any means to find the whereabouts of the Red Insect King?"

Li Changsheng sighed inwardly.

The Demon Slayer, the mainstay of the Demon Slayer Department, escaped disaster perhaps because the Red Insect King had limited time and had not yet found a chance to strike.

"I am enough to deal with the Red Insect King alone. I don't need the help of other demon slayers."

"This one……"

After a night of investigation. Sure enough, twelve puppets of the Red Insect King were discovered, three of them were warriors, and the remaining nine were ordinary people.

Li Changsheng shook his head secretly in his heart, but his face did not show any expression.

Li Changsheng said calmly, and then said in a tone of voice.

It was as if there was an invisible giant hand covering his mouth, making it impossible to say these two words.

After completing the investigation, Deputy Commander Guo breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands to Li Changsheng with a trace of gratitude on his face.

Deputy Commander Guo's appearance shocked Li Changsheng.

"Deputy Commander Guo, please lend me the means to find the whereabouts of the Red Insect King."

He could finally see that Deputy Commander Guo definitely had a psychological shadow and even a mental imprint on the Red Insect King.

"Deputy Commander Guo, there is no need to be polite. I am also a member of the Demon Slayer Department, and I will do my duty to protect the Demon Slayer Department."

To put it mildly, it’s called a lack of responsibility.

Li Changsheng glanced at Deputy Commander Guo, and finally saw clearly what this person was like.

"Zuo Zongfeng, please don't be impulsive, that is the Demon King."

The Red Insect King appeared right under his nose, but he still didn't have the courage to risk his life and fight.

Speaking of the Qingzhou catastrophe thirty years ago, Deputy Commander Guo actually showed a deep look of fear in his eyes, as if he did not want to recall the scene at that time.

"It's just that the current situation in the Demon Slayer Department is not good. The commander has not fully grasped the power of the heaven-level demon slayers. Deputy Commander Lin's whereabouts are unknown and he has not returned yet."

"Zuo Zongfeng, to tell you the truth, the Demon Slayer Department has indeed mastered a method that can track the whereabouts of the Red Insect King. The success rate is good, at least 80% certain."

This is a blessing in misfortune!
"Zuo Zongfeng, this incident involving the Red Insect King is all thanks to you."

Upon hearing Li Changsheng's almost arrogant words, Deputy Commander Guo opened his mouth wide in shock, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

The doomsday-like scene where the people in the city turned into puppets and zombies left a deep shadow in Deputy Commander Guo's heart.

Li Changsheng spoke calmly, seemingly not at all frightened by the names of the seven demon kings.

"First, start with the people from the Demon Slayer Department to find out all the puppets of the Red Insect King and uproot them. Then we will look for the whereabouts of the Red Insect King and kill him..."

Deputy Commander Guo had a troubled expression on his face, and his tone was hesitant.

"Why, no?"

No wonder he is only the deputy commander after working there all his life.

"It seems that you still have to rely on me to deal with the Red Insect King."

"The Red Insect King is good at hiding. He can make warriors into puppets without anyone noticing."

After learning that the Red Insect King was lurking in Luoyang City, Deputy Commander Guo started investigating all night, and investigated all the people within a ten-mile radius of the Demon Slayer Headquarters, whether they were demon slayers, warriors or ordinary people.

To put it nicely, it’s called steady and seasoned.

Although Li Changsheng did not directly state his plan, Deputy Commander Guo could tell immediately that Li Changsheng planned to attack the Red Insect King.

"I am the only one who is not the opponent of the Red Insect King!"

"The Red Insect King is lurking in Luoyang, so be careful."

"The current Demon Slayer Department is in a mess and can't give me much help."

The word "kill" was stuck in Deputy Commander Guo's throat before he could even say it.

"Thirty years ago, because of the Red Insect King, all the people in Qingzhou City were turned into puppets overnight."

"I have made up my mind, and I would like to ask Deputy Commander Guo to stop trying to persuade you."

The only possibility is that the Red Insect King cannot do it.

Li Changsheng guessed that what was in Luoyang City was not the true body of the Red Insect King, but a puppet incarnation.

This was the reason why the Red Insect King was cautious and did not take action directly.

Deputy Commander Guo moved his lips a few times, wanting to continue to persuade, but after seeing the determined expression on Li Changsheng's face, he knew that his persuasion would not have any effect, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Zuo Zongfeng, take my token and go to the Tianzi No. 1 secret vault to get a stick of trace incense."

"You... take care of yourself."

"Now that Luoyang City has undergone a sudden change, the Demon Slayer Department still needs a strong man like you to take charge."

"Thank you, Deputy Commander Guo."

Li Changsheng took Deputy Commander Guo's token, went to the Tianzi No. 1 secret warehouse, and took away a trace incense stick.

Tracking incense, as the name suggests, is an incense refined by the Demon Exterminator and specially used to find the whereabouts of demons.

Li Changsheng followed the instructions for using the incense and went to the place where he captured the Red Insect King's puppet. He lit the incense and green smoke curled up from the incense.

Wherever the green smoke shrouded the place, red thin lines appeared.

Wherever the monsters pass by, this red thin line will appear.

Just follow the red lines and you'll find the source.

The Red Insect King or its clones are probably also near the source.

Li Changsheng ran wildly along the thin red line that followed the Xiangxian Road. His speed was as fast as an arrow piercing the sky, causing the treetops to sway and birds to fly.

Under Xun Jixiang's guidance, Li Changsheng ran wildly for about a quarter of an hour.

Finally found the origin of the Red Insect King’s puppet, Xiaosi.

"This is... Ruyi Pavilion!"

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment. The Red Insect King's puppet actually started from Ruyi Pavilion.

Why was Li Changsheng surprised?

Because he has been to Ruyi Pavilion.

The broken jade map in the Demon Emperor's secret vault was bought from Ruyi Pavilion.

For a time, many clues were connected together in Li Changsheng's mind.

Including the Demon King's secret treasury incident that caused a stir in Luoyang City before, it was definitely not an accident, nor was it obtained by some lucky businessman who mistakenly entered the ancient cave.

The so-called map incident was definitely the work of the Red Insect King.

Li Changsheng suddenly realized what he was doing.

Perhaps, after he deliberately purchased the authentic jade fragment map, the Red Insect King set his sights on him.

That's why what happened last night.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng's face turned slightly cold.

Being targeted by a foundation-building monster is definitely not a good thing.

Even if Li Changsheng is not afraid and has enough trump cards, even if the Red Insect King takes action himself, he still has the confidence to protect himself.

But it's always a risk.

Especially a demon king like the Red Insect King who is good at conspiracy.

Even if the Red Insect King is incapable of fighting, just fishing in troubled waters or leading all flesh and blood monsters to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Department is enough for Li Changsheng to drink a pot. In an instant, Li Changsheng had the idea of ​​​​strike first.

With a sweep of his mind, Li Changsheng immediately discovered the puppet parasitized by the Red Insect King.

The parasitic method of the Red Insect King is very hidden and strange for the demon slayer.

But under the divine thought, his true colors were revealed and he could see through it at a glance.

This is the crushing of civilizational levels.

It is a technique for cultivating immortals, which crushes the half-baked techniques of demon slayers.

Li Changsheng's mind immediately locked onto the shopkeeper who was taking a nap in Ruyi Pavilion.

Ruyi Pavilion, backyard.

"what?"

The shopkeeper, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around suspiciously.

It was quiet all around, without any movement.

It seemed like everything was calm, but the shopkeeper was not at peace in his heart.

Just now, he had an inexplicable feeling of panic.

This feeling was like being stared at by the Heavenly Dragon King.

"The Heavenly Dragon King has come to Luoyang?"

"Impossible! The Demon God Eye is rioting, Luoyang is banned, and the Heavenly Dragon King cannot enter at all."

"What did you feel just now?"

"Is it because I've been too tired recently?"

The shopkeeper thought carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief, blaming the inexplicable staring feeling just now on the pressure brought to him by the Demon God Eye riot.

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, the shopkeeper planned to take a nap for a while.

Suddenly, a hot breath rose up in Ruyi Pavilion.

Before the shopkeeper could react, waves of heat hit him head-on, sweeping across the entire backyard.

In an instant, the leaves of the camphor trees in the courtyard were roasted yellow due to the high temperature.

"who is it?"

The shopkeeper shouted loudly and opened his eyes suddenly.

In an instant, he saw a golden firebird getting bigger and bigger in his pupils.

The golden firebird was so fast that it turned into a golden rainbow light in the air and flew in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The golden firebird is approaching menacingly and with majestic momentum, like thousands of horses galloping.

In a flash of lightning, the bird's beak pecked at the center of his eyebrows.

This sudden change, by the time the shopkeeper reacted, the situation had reached an irreversible level.

The golden firebird's peck was as fast as lightning.

He couldn't avoid it at all.

And he could tell at a glance that this golden flame was the secret skill that Zuo Zhengtao relied on to become famous.

It's so powerful that the shopkeeper's puppet can't stop it at all.

Subconsciously, the Red Insect King knew that the puppet shopkeeper could no longer be saved.

Whoosh.

A hole suddenly opened in the shopkeeper's back spine.

From this crack, a blood-red bug shot out.

The shopkeeper escaped before his body was burned to death by the Golden Crow True Fire.

After the Red Insect King exploded out, he immediately fled to the backyard, preparing to parasitize among other puppets that had been prepared long ago.

As the most sinister of the seven demon kings, the Red Insect King knows very well the principles behind the cunning rabbit's three burrows.

In Ruyi Pavilion, in addition to the puppet of the shopkeeper, he also prepared other puppets.

There was a flash of rainbow light.

The Red Insect King escaped into the secret room of the study and was about to parasitize among the puppets.

The scene in front of him shocked the Red Insect King.

He found that the flesh puppet that had been prepared in the secret room had been burned to ashes.

Zuo Zhengtao didn't know when he was in the secret room, looking at himself with a smile.

This smile is like that of a hunter who sees his prey fall into a trap.

"not good!"

The Scarlet Insect King secretly screamed something bad. Every move he made was planned by Zuo Zhengtao, a treacherous human being.

The next moment, the Red Insect King turned around and ran away, planning to escape from Ruyi Pavilion.

But how could Li Changsheng plan this operation carefully, and how could he let the Red Insect King go so easily?
I saw Li Changsheng moving his ten fingers together, with his fingertips pointing a little.

A scroll shot out and floated above Li Changsheng's head, breathing in spiritual light.

This suspended picture made the Red Insect King, who was running away frantically, stunned.

Such a strange scene was something he had never seen before.

No matter how weird human weapons are, he will not be surprised.

Even hidden weapons of various forms were not strange to him.

Only the picture scroll suspended in mid-air above Zuo Zhengtao's head made the Red Insect King stir up a storm in his heart.

"This...how does it look like the method of an immortal in a novel?"

The Red Insect King murmured in his heart.

But before the muttering in his heart could subside, Li Changsheng took action.

Li Changsheng moved his ten fingers together, pinched out a mysterious magic formula, and inserted it into the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Diagram.

In an instant, an astonishing aura erupted on the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers map.

The sun and moon, mountains and rivers.

A vast and vast shadow shrouded the Ruyi Pavilion.

In an instant, the Red Insect King was surprised to find that he was in an endless wilderness.

"This……"

There was deep horror in the eyes of the Red Insect King.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

If he wasn't in Ruyi Pavilion, how could he appear here?

The methods Zuo Zhengtao showed were too weird.

Reminds him of the immortals in human novels?

Could it be that Zuo Zhengtao is the legendary immortal?

Once this magical method appeared in the mind of the Red Insect King, it was like a seed that sprouted and took root. It took root in his subconscious and could not get rid of it.

If Zuo Zhengtao is really the immortal in the novel.

Then he is the biggest enemy of their demon clan!

The Red Insect King took a deep breath, but now he had no idea of ​​escaping.

Anyway, what's in Luoyang City is just an incarnation.

In her opinion, being able to use an avatar to figure out Zuo Zhengtao's information was very cost-effective.

Li Changsheng saw that the Red Insect King not only did not escape, nor did he intend to break out of the formation, but stopped and looked at him quietly, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he heard words that made him feel funny from the mouth of the Red Insect King.

"Zuo Zhengtao, are you an immortal?"
