Destiny is ashes

Chapter 184 Rescue
"What? The True Demon Cult has already occupied the earth vein nodes?!"

Upon hearing the news, even though it was freezing cold outside, Zheng Mo still broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he had long thought that the True Demon Cult had been in the city for so long and must have done something big enough to make him sweat profusely, he never thought that even his own geomantic nodes had been occupied by others without anyone noticing.

Zheng Mo did not doubt the message left by An Jing. The other party had no reason to lie to him. Moreover, as long as he led the team to check it out personally later, it would only take an hour or two to know whether it was true or not.

What Zheng Mo found most terrifying was that the daily reports he received showed that everything was normal!
What does this prove?
This proves that there are real demon cult traitors in the government!
Moreover, these insiders may not necessarily hold high positions, but their number is definitely large, and they can even influence an entire information channel!

"I am indeed not as good as Shu Zheng. I cannot control many information channels in the city, nor can I control all the petty officials and government employees... But when did the True Demon Cult quietly infiltrate so deeply?"

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Mo calmed himself down: "Perhaps they had already infiltrated during the time of Shu Zheng, but they didn't show any signs at that time... After investigating the city, there must be some forces that are the shells of the Demon Cult!"

Moreover, among the military force under his control, that is, the city guards and patrol officers of Kanming City, there are also accomplices of the True Demon Cult!

"Don't act rashly for now."

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zheng Mo looked at the three disabled demon cult warriors.

Judging from the wounds of these demons, the people who defeated them were very skilled in martial arts.

"This kind of fierce power-generating technique... is actually from a Chenli people? Indeed, he must be the descendant of a Chenli clan..."

Bending down and observing carefully, Zheng Mo muttered to himself: "If I had a few warriors like this under my command, why would I worry about whether Mingcheng is clear?"

He holds a Wenlu. The Wenlu Tianguan is good at adjusting Fengshui, calling the wind and rain, connecting the earth veins, and manipulating the array. In a sense, he is a combination of a Fengshui master and an alchemist, and also a talisman master.

Such a powerful ability naturally has a price. Wenlu Tianguan has the abilities of all the above professions, but also has the disadvantages of all the above professions.

First of all, you cannot leave the Feng Shui array center (governance area) without permission.

Secondly, because it is necessary to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, the circulation of internal breath and spiritual energy must move with heaven and earth. If it is not in one's own altar (official palace), the speed of mobilizing spiritual power will be extremely slow.

Finally, all the abilities of the Heavenly Official can only be fully exerted with the support of the "Great Seal", just like the talisman master's abilities are all based on talismans and instruments.

Zheng Mo's partner in the past was Shu Zheng. With this master leading the front, he could calmly regulate the spiritual energy. Using the official seal to activate the formation, he could exert abilities far beyond those of ordinary strong alchemists. He could even use the formation to imprison three big monsters comparable to martial arts, and suppress and kill them all.

But without Shu Zheng, Zheng Mo now doesn't even dare to leave the mansion.

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, Zheng Chengzheng also knew why the other party came to his men? A young man from Chenli with such skills will definitely join one of the five sects of Chenli in the future, aiming at Shenzang.

Not to mention the big family behind him, the price he could offer might not be as much as the other party's monthly salary.

"Where is the warehouse he mentioned?"

Coming back to his senses, Zheng Mo asked Shopkeeper Zhang, and soon got the answer: "The warehouse along the river in the west of the city, the warehouse used by Chongyi Building to transport logs!"

"Chongyi Building?"

Zheng Mo's mind was racing. Although he didn't immediately think that Chongyi Building was the base of the True Demon Cult, the possibility that "Chongyi Building might have been infiltrated and controlled" emerged in his mind.

As a large local chamber of commerce, Chongyi Building influences all aspects. If the True Demon Cult uses it as a springboard, it is very likely to extend its tentacles to the government and even various parts of the city.

"Lao Wang, lead the team, let's go."

Without saying much, he led the team to set off. When heading to the warehouse, he was still cautious: "Take a demon disciple with less serious injuries, I want to interrogate him on the way!"

As for the other two, they were left in the government office and interrogated by special jailers. Zheng Mo guessed that the two survivors would definitely die from their injuries during the interrogation for various reasons, and nothing could be asked of them. He would definitely not find evidence that the interrogators were followers of the True Demon Cult.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Knowing the existence of the demon, he will definitely be extremely cautious.

Soon, the government team from Kanming City marched towards the warehouse along the river west of the city.

When they arrived, the area around the warehouse was already covered in scarlet red.

The people guarding the warehouse, the demon cult warriors, their headless bodies and heads were buried scattered in the snow and blood, and from the half-open warehouse door, a gurgling red stream gushed out, melting and freezing all the ice and snow at the door, turning it into a piece of pure blood ice.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, even the experienced old constable couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

Captain Wang was also a survivor of the bloody battlefield in the northern border that year. He had seen scenes that were ten or a hundred times bloodier than this one. He even personally built a Jingguan on the original site of the annihilated northern barbarian tribe.

But that was all war, and war is different. Everything in front of me was caused by one person, and this person...

Ga.

The half-closed door opened, and An Jing walked out of the warehouse gently holding a girl whose tendons in her hands and feet were cut and whose breathing was weak.

He raised his head and looked at the group that had stopped in shock, and said calmly, "Is there a doctor? The children and the trafficked people inside are in a very bad condition."

"This child hasn't eaten for a long time, and her hands and feet are damaged. Find some porridge for her to drink."

"I'm!"

The doctor in the team suppressed his inner fear. He walked forward to check the condition of the child in An Jing's arms, glanced at Zheng Mo, and after getting the other party's nod of permission, he took out a small bottle that An Jing was also very familiar with from the small bag on his waist. The bottle contained the "Jade Dew" that he had also drunk.

However, the concentration of Gyokuro is not high. It is just a diluted sweet syrup used to quickly replenish physical strength.

If it was the An Jing before, he might not be able to see the essence of Jade Dew, but now he can be sure that the raw material of "Jade Dew" is a spiritual plant similar to the "Evergreen Wood" in the Tianyuan Realm, which can be cultivated on a large scale.

The method of making Jade Dew may not be a secret, but the method of making this spiritual plant definitely is.

As the jade dew dripped into her mouth, the little girl's pale face visibly turned red.

After entrusting the child to the other party, An Jing turned his head and signaled to everyone: "What are you standing there for? Come in and rescue the victim."

Hearing this, everyone woke up as if from a dream and quickly began to act.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene in the warehouse was hell on earth.

Because the demons needed emotions such as despair, decay, depravity, and resentment as 'lures', these children and other people 'born on suitable dates' who were originally destined to be sacrifices and had no intention of letting them live for a long time, all had more or less disabilities.

Most people had their tendons in their hands and feet cut, which was actually relatively good, because for Huaixu, a world of martial arts, there were medicines that could cure such injuries.

But some of the trafficked people were blinded, deafened...some boys had even been castrated, and some had been subjected to even more unspeakable cruelty.

Throughout the warehouse, all the victims were so numb that they could not utter a sound. It was not until they learned that they had been rescued that they suddenly burst into heart-wrenching cries.

Some people were so excited that they almost passed out, so An Jing had to use the Concentrating Mind Talisman to help them calm down.
