Chapter 192 Demonic Calamity
Xingguo, Yanjing.
boom!
"who!?"
"The space has been broken open; this place is not safe to stay for long."
"You bastard! Are you going to be our enemy?!"
In a vast, unclaimed space, about twenty demon immortals had gathered. Qin Ming's forced intrusion enraged them.
They all glared angrily at Qin Ming, who was falling from the sky, their expressions filled with shock and fury.
despair……
Qin Ming landed on the ground and took a look. These demons were all different in shape. Surprisingly, he also saw the Yinglong from before, which seemed to have become an immortal.
Besides him, there is no other divine beast here.
They were all just demons who had cultivated themselves into immortals.
It seems that the number of divine beasts is much smaller than that of immortals. Mingwang has Diting under his command, and Laojun has Xuanli by his side, but apart from these two, there is only this Yinglong.
"No ill intent intended. If it is convenient for you, please come with me to the Battle Commander Palace."
"Did Laozi send you?"
One of the demons, with a full head of red hair and bull horns, stared at Qin Ming with an unfriendly gaze and a violent aura.
The spirit can control fire, earth, and seemingly other powers as well...
Sure enough, even demons who can become immortals are no ordinary beings.
"Yes, but this is my personal opinion, and I don't want anyone to suffer any harm. Please."
Qin Ming stepped aside, gesturing for them to come with him.
The Battle Commander Palace is a special space created by Laozi. No matter how serious the injury, or even if you are accidentally killed, you will be instantly restored inside. It is an excellent place to accumulate combat experience.
Dead silence...
The twenty-odd immortal demons looked at each other, some with disdain, some with solemnity, but without exception, not one of them cooperated.
"Hum hum……"
"How dare a mere human be so arrogant?"
"Don't think that just because you escaped from the Naga you're the number one person below the gods. We are not afraid of the Naga!"
"That's right! Kid, you'd better get lost!"
The group of demon immortals began to radiate hostility towards Qin Ming, and the terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy made the entire space feel somewhat oppressive.
Qin Ming remained unfazed by the sight, which was entirely expected.
A faint layer of red spiritual energy appeared on his body. Yinglong's gaze became solemn, and he quietly retreated behind the group of demons.
Besides him, there was also the Spirit Wood Immortal...
They had witnessed Qin Ming's strength firsthand, and at that time Qin Ming had not yet become an immortal. Although they did not know how Qin Ming escaped from the Naga Domain, they knew that such rumors could not be unfounded.
The war is about to break out!
boom!
……
Xingguo, three years indefinitely.
"What?! It's happened in Chongqing too! Thirteen cases?! Thirteen cases! (Damn it!)"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Emperor Xing was furious, and Li Xue, who was standing beside him, tried to persuade him.
"Calm down! I'm about to explode!! Why are there so many all of them suddenly?"
"The prefect's cover-up must have occurred over two consecutive years, and... I'm afraid there are more than just these thirteen cases."
"Asshole..."
Emperor Xing pinched his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and said, "Continue."
"Yes, apart from the remnants of the Yueshan bandits before the New Year, all the investigations and reports from various places... are not man-made. It is... a demon."
"Demon..."
Emperor Xing's expression turned slightly serious. "Demonic calamities are erupting everywhere... Could it be that Heaven is displeased with me?"
"His Majesty……"
How could such a thing be possible? The people around him were all close advisors, and they naturally knew how the Xingguo dynasty came to be.
The real chaos caused by demons didn't begin until now. Back in the Three Kingdoms period, when Xingguo was still a rebel army, it wasn't uncommon for demons to participate in the war.
However, no one keeps track of the number of people eaten during the war, so even if the demons ate several people, no one would notice.
"hehe."
Emperor Xing chuckled inwardly, "Has it been compiled?"
"A total of 84 cases, involving 397 people."
"Hmph, let's go, they should have arrived by now. Any news about him?"
"not yet……"
Xingguo, somewhere.
A sea of clouds surrounds the terraced fields on the hillside, creating a beautiful scene.
A figure is sitting by the terraced fields eating a sesame seed cake.
A figure carrying a hoe passed by below and greeted him, "You're not from around here, are you?"
Yes, I have traveled here.
"Haha, what's so great about visiting this remote mountain village...!"
Suddenly, the figure carrying the hoe changed his expression slightly, then hurriedly walked away along the ridge of the terraced fields.
unlimited,"???"
After finishing the sesame seed cake in his hand, he stood up, dusted himself off, and left the place.
We arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain and entered an inn.
"No pork knuckle?"
"No, sir, we have beef."
"Okay, half a pound then, and a little more..."
While ordering food, he noticed people around him pointing and whispering in his direction, which he found rather strange.
Did they recognize me?
Although he had been away from the palace for nearly two years, as someone who stood by Emperor Xing's side at the founding of the dynasty, his status in Xing was not low; otherwise, Emperor Xing would not have directly named the reign title after him.
While eating, Wuxian noticed that soldiers were gradually approaching in the distance.
"They really recognized you?"
He put down the rice in his hand, stood up, tidied his appearance, and waited for the officers and soldiers to arrive.
"found it!"
"?"
"Su Hui! Surrender!"
The leading officer pulled out an arrest warrant, which prominently featured his portrait, but the name was not Wuxian, but "Su Hui".
Wanted: Notorious thief
Carrying a sword is dangerous! Su Hui, a native of Yanjing, is a highly skilled martial artist who roams the land. Anyone who captures him will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, provided he is captured alive!
Infinite, “…(anger?)”
What urgent matter is this... Su Hui?
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and took out a lunchbox. "Wait a minute, I'll pack it up."
"??"
Having received Emperor Xing's summons, Wuxian immediately decided to return.
He explained the situation to the local officials, asked for a fast horse, and set off for Yanjing.
Five days later, they arrived in Yanjing.
"His Majesty."
"Hahahaha! No need for formalities."
Emperor Xing was overjoyed to see Wuxian return, but he still explained, "I had been searching for you for months without success, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. I was even afraid you would beat me up, hahaha."
(Angry) "Listen to what's going on first. Do you think I can't handle this if it's not important?"
Emperor Xing, "...(Khan)."
The surrounding palace maids were startled. Was this how one spoke to the emperor?!
"cough……"
With a serious expression, Emperor Xing began to get down to business, "Are you aware of the demonic calamities that have struck various regions this year?"
"……Know."
Wuxian traveled to various places and naturally encountered some people, which he dealt with in a matter of course.
Emperor Xing continued, "Now rumors are flying everywhere, saying that I..."
"understood."
With demonic disturbances rampant and malicious individuals deliberately spreading rumors, unpleasant gossip about the emperor naturally emerged.
In this era, demonic calamities signify misfortune, and the uninformed populace can easily be misled into believing that the emperor is incompetent or that the country is doomed.
In short, upon learning the situation, Wuxian naturally understood why Emperor Xing had summoned him back.
No one in the entire Xingguo knew better than him how to deal with demons.
"I need to understand the current situation before I can give you an answer."
"of course."
"Wait a minute." Wuxian stopped Emperor Xing and whispered, "Go and collect all those wanted posters first. If anyone recognizes me in the future, I'll settle the score with you."
Emperor Xing (Khan): "He's gone, he's gone..."
Having found the person in charge of dealing with the demonic calamity, Wuxian and Emperor Xing began to discuss countermeasures.
The result is that even infinity cannot solve this problem; the scope is too large.
The only solution is to seek help from Laozi.
"I'll go find someone to help me."
"Oh? Which expert?"
"I cannot say. Please grant me a month, Your Majesty."
"Can it really be solved?"
"I try my best."
"it is good."
The other people in charge of dealing with the demonic calamity chimed in, "We'll hold on for a few more months. You absolutely must resolve this predicament..."
"please."
With a bow, Wuxian immediately set off for Lanxi Town.
The only person he could think of who could help resolve this matter was Laozi.
