Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 455 Fire in the Backyard
Yang Qian was concentrating on tempering his body for the second time in the hut. He thought this time would be easier than the previous one, after all, his body had already been tempered once. But the result was just the opposite. Instead of getting easier, it became even more painful.

Just as Yang Qian was undergoing the second physical tempering, something was happening outside that no one had expected: Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave were attacked.

This incident was a shocking event in the Wanli Bamboo Sea. Who would be so bold as to attack the two most powerful forces in the Wanli Bamboo Sea?
The most crucial thing is that neither Feiyun Valley nor Chansi Cave captured the invading enemy, and they didn’t even know where the enemy came from.

Over the past thousand years, Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave have combed the Wanli Bamboo Sea several times. Where did the enemy come from? Even if there were any, they would just fight each other. Where did the outsiders get the courage?
But the fact is that in the past month, more than 20 disciples from Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave have disappeared, and more than a dozen people from each region have been found dead.

At first, the ones who got into trouble were all the disciples who were patrolling the mountain. Later, the disciples who went out to search also suffered. By the time they realized what was happening, the search team was attacked again and again, and they were easily killed.

After losing one person in the Qi Training Stage, then the Core Forming Stage, and finally the Nascent Soul Stage, Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave suddenly reacted and acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

But even a master in the out-of-body realm could not find any trace of the enemy.

The only clue is that the bodies that were found died in strange conditions. They had all turned into mummies like firewood and were randomly discarded in the bamboo forest.

The Out-of-Body Realm was the strongest force in Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave besides the leader. If they still couldn't handle the current situation, then Zhu Hongchan and Yang Ding should personally take action.

But now the situation is very coincidental. Firstly, Zhu Hongchan and Yang Ding are in a period of deliberately suppressing their own cultivation, so it is not appropriate to fight with others. Secondly, they have to keep an eye on Yang Qian all the time and cannot get away at all.

I froze for a moment.

Still in front of the small courtyard beside the ruins. Zhu Hongchan and Yang Ding sat on chairs on both sides of a coffee table, both looking unhappy. Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley were the key to their foothold and control of the Wanli Bamboo Sea. Without the power in their hands, it would be very difficult for them to rely on just the two of them. It would be too much for them to just guard the ruins, let alone explore and practice?

So now that something like this has happened, the man and the demon are extremely anxious. At first, they even thought that it was the other party who was killing them. It was not until more disciples died that they thought it might have been done by an outsider.

This can't be entirely blamed on the slow response of Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley. The main reason is that there has never been a similar situation in the past thousand years. They are the largest and strongest force in the vast bamboo sea. Just like tigers in the jungle, only their own kind can threaten them, and other animals are just prey.

"Do you demon cultivators have this method of devouring people?" Yang Ding spoke first. Compared to Chansi Cave, the loss of his Feiyun Valley was greater. Two Yuanying Realm elders died. Seven Jindan Realm elders died.

Zhu Hongchan shook her head and said, "Although demon cultivators like blood, the focus is still on "food", and they like flesh and blood more. Even our spider clan rarely sucks people into this state, not eating meat or gnawing bones, it's like just squeezing out water.

And the dead Nascent Soul Realm disciples were no exception. Even their souls could be found in the corpses with traces of a residual imprint in the lower Dantian.

This method is too cruel and powerful. There is no method I know of that can compare to it.

The person who comes here is not simple. "

"So this isn't a demon cultivator's method?" Yang Ding was a little surprised by Zhu Hongchan's answer, and his brows furrowed even deeper. "At least I don't think it has anything to do with demon cultivators."

"That's an evil method!" Yang Ding ruled out all possibilities, and the remaining one should be the final answer.

"Whether it is an evil method or not depends on your investigation in Feiyun Valley. All the evil cultivators in Wanli Bamboo Sea are your people. Now the evil cultivators in Shuangqing Mansion have also retreated. There are so many of them, it is not surprising that there are one or two evil-minded people hiding among them.

With this person's means and strength, he may have already infiltrated the upper echelons of your Feiyun Valley. He chose to attack at this time, so he must have known our movements, otherwise it would be too coincidental, right?"

Zhu Hongchan sneered and stared at Yang Ding. The evil cultivators were all stupid people, none of them could be trusted. Zhu Hongchan was not optimistic about Yang Ding's large-scale recruitment of evil cultivators, so now the trouble is coming, isn't it?
Regardless of whether the enemy this time was hiding inside Feiyun Valley, at least the evil cultivators would now be excluded by all the cultivators in Wanli Bamboo Sea. Fighting and killing were not impossible.

As a result, Feiyun Valley's situation was naturally getting worse. For Chansi Cave, it was also a good thing in the midst of bad luck.

When you are unlucky, you will feel much better if you see others are more unlucky than you.

Yang Ding did not respond to Zhu Hongchan's words. He took a sip from his teacup and said, "We can't let the people below do this. You and I must take care of it. Otherwise, if we continue to make trouble, everyone in the mountain gate will be in danger and there will be a big mess."

If there are too many deaths and no clear explanation, the frightened disciples will habitually vent their anger on their long-time enemies. Once the killing starts, it will be unacceptable to both Feiyun Valley and Chansi Cave.

Yang Ding's proposal was to prevent such a thing from happening. In his opinion, he and Zhu Hongchan were both powerful warriors in the late stage of the Fusion Realm who had broken the destiny. The close-range scanning of their divine thoughts alone could make all enemies invisible. As long as they took action, the problem would be solved.

The problem now is who is going to do this.

Zhu Hongchan said, "Many people died in your Feiyun Valley, so you should go on this trip. I will be responsible for taking care of Yang Qian here."

Yang Ding nodded. He really couldn't sit still. Just as Zhu Hongchan said just now, there were many evil cultivators in Feiyun Valley. What if they were really enemies with evil intentions? He had to personally check this matter. He was not at ease if he let Zhu Hongchan do it.

"Okay then, Yang Qian, keep an eye on me. I'll be back soon."

Zhu Hongchan didn't really think much about it. She thought the same as Yang Ding, they both believed that Yang Ding would be able to capture the enemy easily and would return soon.

But the truth is that within five days after Yang Ding left, there was no news of the murderer being caught. On the contrary, three more disciples of Chansi Cave died. One of them was even sparring with others in the morning, and was found dead in his own room in the afternoon.

In other words, Yang Ding, who was in the late stage of the fusion realm and had broken the destiny, was useless and could not detect the enemy in the dark at all.
