Chapter 215 Thousand Faces
"Ye San" said stubbornly: "In the worst case, I'll go back to the main forum and hide for a while. I've made up my mind and there's no need to say anything more."
An knew that the "Evil God" was weird and tyrannical, and with his own strength, he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so he didn't persist: "Okay, I'll take the Agarwood and Purple Sword and leave first."
The swordsman was sitting next to him with his legs crossed and Zi Shang lying across his knees.
"No, without him and Zi Shang, I wouldn't have a chance to kill the old ghosts of the Ye family at once. Now that time is running out, I can only give up the treasured soldiers. When I pass this level and become a true god, are I afraid that I won't have the treasured soldiers? "Ye San" resolutely demanded to keep the Purple Sword.
An's pursed her lips, very dissatisfied with Qian Mian's decision, but she also knew that Qian Mian was eager for quick success and quick success, and seized every opportunity to improve herself, as if there was a savage beast chasing her behind her, and she did not dare to relax or slack off at all. .
Among the many seeds scattered outside our sect, "Thousand Faces" was the most common and hopeless, but he learned the method of "raising the evil god" from somewhere, killed every opponent, survived, and became the elite of our sect, and because of He often changes his body and his appearance changes accordingly, and is called "Thousand Faces".
"Even if your evil god breaks through the bottleneck, it is at most equivalent to half a step of strength on location. How can it be a real treasure?" Anshi still couldn't bear to part with the Purple Sword. Even if he didn't use the sword, after returning it to the main altar, he and Qian Mian would not be able to bear it. You can get an extremely generous reward. After all, something like a treasure weapon cannot be made by piling up materials. It can only take shape if it incorporates the artistic conception of a location master and is nurtured by him day and night.
"Ye San" shook his head: "Now that we have the treasure weapon, we can only exert half the power of the outdoor scene, and we can only activate it once or twice during the battle. If I break through the bottleneck, every move and every move will have a similar effect. "
Anshi gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you succeed. I'll wait for you at the same place."
Ye San's resurrection has a distance limit, so they have already prepared a temporary hiding place.
"Okay." Ye San didn't say much, woke up the swordsman and returned to Ye's house.
He knew that this time the plan was interrupted, and the breakthrough that he was 90% sure of was almost impossible, but at least after sacrificing the Ye family, he was closer to the breakthrough. He would not have to take such risks next time, and he might be able to break through easily.
Looking at Ye San's back, Anshi snorted, grabbed the agarwood, and disappeared into the darkness.
If she didn't know if Qianmian had other resurrection cauldrons hidden, she would have really wanted to kill Agarwood and steal the treasures and secrets before Qianmian returned from resurrection - every time Qianmian acted, high-value things were placed in the cauldron. On his body, after all, his body is like clothes, he changes them as soon as he changes them. Yin spirits can be transferred with the help of the evil god's blessing, but physical objects cannot.
…………
As soon as Meng Qi and Tang Ren came out of the alley, they met Qi Zhengyan who was carrying a sword.
"...Ye San died early, and his body was taken over by someone who raised the evil god, and he was instigated by it." Meng Qi started to tell the story in general, without going into details, Qi Zhengyan, who had shared the same experience, could understand it at once.
Qi Zhengyan still had a dead face and no expression: "Raising the Evil God? You must notify the six gates to seal the city."
Seeing this, Tang Ren sighed with emotion. The disciples of the big sect were the disciples of the big sect. He knew what was going on as soon as he heard Yang Xie Shen. However, he had lived for sixty or seventy years, but he had only been in contact with the six gates after taking charge of the Canglan Sword. Only more people know what nourishing evil spirits is.
Speaking of which, Xiao Er encountered a lot of things when he was traveling, even Yang Xie Shen knew about it!
The three of them didn't say much, and rushed towards the six doors, past the crowds of people who came to watch the excitement due to the violent commotion at Shangshui Xiaozhu.
Meng Qi is inhabited by the magic body and the wind god's legs. Without any strange changes, he runs like the wind and his body turns into an afterimage, while Qi Zhengyan uses the Qinggong and elegant literature of the Huanhua Sword School, with fluttering clothes and a chic posture. The two of them walked side by side, making Tang Ren, who had only managed to catch up with the strength of his Nine Apertures, look like an old country man.
Life is scary, how come I didn't have any adventures when I was young... Tang Ren thought as he followed closely. Suddenly, he said hello: "Huang Captou, are you going to Shangshui Xiaozhu?"
The middle-aged man leading several headhunters across from him slowed down, pinched his long beard, and said with a smile: "Can Mr. Ren teach me?"
This head catcher is none other than Huang Zhiqing, the governor of the city. He is in charge of a local martial arts community and is a master of nine orifices who is expected to take part in outdoor scenes. If anyone in the world has the most powerful nine orifices, it must belong to the Jin Dynasty. They are promising With heavy rewards and status, he has recruited many masters, at least those who are masters and masters below, much more than any other major martial arts sect or family.
After all, for a strong casual cultivator, it is far better to serve a family or sect directly than to serve the court directly. Not only do they have resources and property, but they also have the right and status to take charge of affairs in the world. Moreover, they are not guest ministers, and there are no bloodline or inheritance obstacles to rising. If they perform meritorious services, If you are promoted, you can also get the corresponding secrets provided by the royal family.
In addition, the imperial court also has Wu Jinshi, which is a bright road for the world's talents to get ahead, and they will not have to rely on sects and aristocratic families. Therefore, the resources of the imperial court are also limited, and many strong people are accustomed to the world without too much restraint. In life, it is impossible to say that the six gates and the royal guards have already captured all the strong casual cultivators who can still be saved.
Of course, the sects and aristocratic families could not just watch. They exerted a lot of pressure in this regard to prevent the strength of the Six Sects from inflating and maintaining it at a level acceptable to all parties. Moreover, the sects and aristocratic families were also moving towards the Six Sects. , to add sand to the court, for example, the names of the Cui family branch disciples of Zhenwu lay disciples are not included in the list of martial arts scholars every three years.
In the six gates, one city is one area, including nearby villages. There is one governor to catch the head, two associate chiefs to catch the head, ten official seals to catch the head, and ten squads of catchers. In the county town, there is a person in charge of the affairs of the county. There are silver medal catchers and deputy green ribbon catchers, as well as elite tiger and leopard catchers. There are gold medal catchers and purple ribbon catchers in the prefecture. The gods have six-door headquarters, eight great catchers, and generals with titles and titles. Headhunting.
"Six gates always catch the head", there are six words before and after, without any unnecessary embellishments, but it scares many strong people in the world. He has not put himself on the earth rankings, but it is recognized that he has the strength of the top ten in the earth rankings.
"The battle just now was between Cang Lan and Zi Shang." Tang Ren got straight to the point.
"What?" Huang Zhiqing blurted out, internal strife among the four aristocratic families?
Tang Ren said: "Ye Xiaosan is dead. The evil god has taken over his body and instigated various families to fight against the Huanhua Sword Sect."
"Raising the Evil God?" Huang Zhiqing's expression became solemn. This was much more serious than the internal strife in the family. At any rate, they knew how to restrain themselves, knew how to exercise restraint, and knew the majesty of the court. However, those who raised the Evil God acted viciously and liked blood sacrifices. If the Evil God lost control, it would be even worse. It is possible that a whole city will be devastated!
Tang Ren briefly explained the encounter just now, while Meng Qi added about An's shooting style and the characteristics of the tall man's palm strength.
The more Huang Zhiqing listened, the more solemn he became: "Judging from that man's appearance and palm skills, he should be an iron-handed demon among the nineteen demons of the Tianxie Clan."
Meng Qi was shocked, a man with iron hands and a demon?
Not only was he surprised by the wealth of information collected by the Six Gates, the governor knew all the characters in the world and could tell who they were just by hearing the description, but he was even more surprised by the words "iron-handed man and devil"!
The one I killed just now was the Iron-Handed Demon. Who did I encounter on the ship?
Could it be that Shan Xiumei hired someone to play the role of "hero saving beauty" in order to attract a rich husband?
Huang Zhiqing felt his surprise and gave a brief explanation: "The Iron Hand Demon and the Huanxi Demon have been haunting Huanzhou all year round, so I know the details. If you were a strong man from other states, you would have to go back and read the information slowly. Well, from this point of view, the An family must be a human demon of joy, and the one who occupies the body of Third Young Master Ye should be the demon with a thousand faces. No wonder the demon with a thousand faces is the most mysterious among the nineteen demons, with ever-changing appearance. It turns out that it is because he can walk Raise the Evil God’s Way!”
His voice became louder and he ordered the arresters with the Zhengyin:
"The three of you go to the Tang family, Wan family, and Ling family separately, and inform all the elders about this matter. You must kill the evil god furnace cauldron and not give him a chance to resurrect. Please ask the elders of the Wan family and the Ling family to bring the prairie fire spear and the Yun Dao meets at Ye's house."
"Go back to the six gates, activate the city defense formation, send out all the detectives, seal off the main roads, and search them one by one to prevent the evil god's furnace from hiding."
"Go to Zhushuiyuan and ask Prince Wang to come to the Ye family. This matter concerns the Wang family, and the aura of Haoran restrains the evil god, so he must be asked to take action."
After the arresters left one after another, Huang Zhiqing looked at Meng Qi and the others: "Chief Qi, Second Young Master Tang, and Mr. Ren, please come with me to the Ye family to see if you can find traces of the evil god and deal with the Ye family."
"Okay!" Meng Qi replied simply. He was quite afraid of this kind of enemy that could be resurrected, and he eagerly hoped to solve it at once without leaving any further trouble.
Qi Zhengyan had a straight face and nodded lightly. Regardless of whether the Thousand-Faced Man-Devil was the person he met during the camp confrontation, the one who raised the evil god would have to die. After all, it was too unpredictable and too destabilizing!
…………
Outside Ye Mansion, Meng Qi returned to his old place, but with a different identity and a different mood.
The guard who should have been there for a moment disappeared without a trace, and there was no sound from the entire Ye Mansion. It was so quiet that it made people's scalp numb and goosebumps arise, as if something very strange and gloomy was brewing inside.
"Be careful!" As a governor, Huang Zhiqing had heard of similar situations even if he had never encountered them.
"There is resentment in the sky, and blood is spreading." Wang Zai rushed over with a long sword and said in a deep voice, "It should be a sacrifice, it must be stopped immediately!"
His Chinese character face was calm and solemn, but his eyes contained hatred. Being played around by Ye San, or the "Man with a Thousand Faces", made him a little angry.
Several people thought of the scenes inside, and their hearts became heavy. They rushed into Ye Mansion to save people like putting out fire.
Wang Zai took the lead, followed closely by Meng Qi and others. Along the road, not a single servant was seen. The roadside was filled with the corpses of rats and insects, which made people feel extremely frightened.
Outside the Ye family hall, corpses were neatly arranged, with pale skin, as if someone had directly drained the blood, but there was no trace of blood on the ground.
Wang Zai slowed down slightly and stepped into the hall. He saw a mountain of corpses inside, and a man shrouded in black energy stood in the middle. The only layer of blood around him swayed violently and merged into his body.
Zi Shang was floating in front of him, wrapped in blood. He failed to sense the family crisis and activated it on his own.
"Are you here to worship the true God?"
The "thousand-faced demon" who still looked like Ye San shouted in a solemn and crazy manner, causing the roof to tremble and a cloud of dust to scatter.
