I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 97 Demon Suppression Tower

Li Qingyun looked at Yang Paifeng and silently completed the rest of her words in his heart.

"…But the Song Dynasty could not defeat the Liao Kingdom, nor could it suppress the Western Xia. It could only compromise and live in peace in a corner. How could it have the energy to care about the lives of ordinary people?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little bored, and the joy of his successful promotion was mostly gone. He subconsciously reached for the purse in his arms.

There were still a few hundred copper coins there. Although they were of little use, they might be enough to give these people a full meal.

But the next second, Yang Paifeng stopped him and said as if he saw through his thoughts:

"You can't do that. If these people see that you have money, they will immediately surround you in three layers, and you won't be able to get rid of them. We have things to do and can't delay here."

Hearing this, Li Qingyun could only sigh, took out his hands that had been hidden in his arms, and said with a wry smile:

"I see……"

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say. They lowered their heads in silence and walked quickly forward. Soon, under the leadership of Li Qingyun, they found a dilapidated mud-brick house.

Seeing that the door was ajar, they went straight in and found Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui, each holding a weapon, already guarding inside.

Seeing Yang Paifeng coming, Xu Liang was slightly stunned, then he bowed slightly:

"I'm Xu Liang from Shanxi, nice to meet Marshal Huo, thank you for your help."

Yang Paifeng nodded:
"We all serve the court, so General Xu San, you don't have to be polite."

Xu Liang grinned, took out a delicate little tower from his arms, and said to the two of them:

“This time we are going to Wuyou Cave to meet the Wushi Sect’s divine envoy, and then look for possible locations for the divine descent ceremony. If we are lucky, we may be able to meet Qiu Wang and kill him.

"For this matter, I have requested a low-grade magic weapon from Kaifeng Prefecture, called the Demon Suppression Tower. This item can automatically warn polluters with a corrupt aura, and can suppress and purify all kinds of evil spirits. It is perfect for finding and dealing with Qiu Wang.

“The only drawback is that this magic weapon has no spirit, so it will absorb the true energy and spirit bodies of cultivators within a thirty-meter radius, regardless of friend or foe, causing them to slowly weaken. The maximum time a fourth-level cultivator can resist it is three quarters of an hour, so Yunrui and I will take turns to control it, exchanging hands every two quarters of an hour or so, so as not to affect the combat effectiveness.

"In fact, we have tried to infuse this magic weapon with a weapon spirit, but due to its characteristics, the weapon spirit's spirit will eventually be absorbed and dissipated, so it can only be used as a low-grade magic weapon."

Yang Paifeng nodded. Knowing the characteristics of the magic weapons in her teammates' hands in advance would help her to prepare and adjust her plans.

Li Qingyun was stunned. Magical weapons, weapon spirits, etc. were all new terms that he had never heard of.

Xu Liang looked at his expression and explained patiently:

“Magic weapons are treasures made from special materials. They all have powerful abilities and are divided into three grades: high, medium, and low.

"Low-grade magic weapons that don't have spirits or can't be refined with spirits will most likely have serious flaws and impacts, so they can only be sealed up to prevent them from causing harm.

“Mid-grade and high-grade magic weapons either have spirit weapons to avoid negative effects, or they are perfect in themselves and are more powerful items, but their numbers are extremely rare, and even Kaifeng Prefecture does not have them.

"Below the magic weapons are magic implements. For example, the Eight Formation Diagram Plate in Yunrui's hand is a good magic implement. Although it is not as powerful as the Demon Suppression Tower, it does not have any negative effects."

Li Qingyun nodded repeatedly, very grateful for Xu Liang's guidance.

At this time, Bai Yunrui said, "Time is running out. Let's go to Wuyou Cave first. It won't be too late to explain these things slowly."

Following Mrs. Wei's previous instructions, the few people went around to the back room of the house. After a careful search, they finally found a hidden door on the ground near the stove.

After pulling it open, a dark hole suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It was bottomless and swallowed up all the light and sound around it.

The soil around the cave entrance seemed unusually soft, with jagged edges, and the darkness inside exuded a chilling aura that made people shudder.

Several people stood at the entrance of the cave and could vaguely hear echoes coming from the depths, as if an endless abyss was whispering.

Bai Yunrui sneered:
"I didn't expect this place to be so hidden. If no one had pointed it out, who would have thought there was such a tunnel..."

Xu Liang nodded:
"The Demon Suppression Tower is here with the Shanxi people. I'll go down first, and you can come in later. Try to follow me, but don't get within three meters."

As he spoke, he drew out his large golden ring knife, held up the Demon-Suppressing Tower in one hand, held up the precious sword in the other, and jumped in first.

The remaining three people waited for a while, and then went into the cave one by one...

……

It was pitch black inside, but everyone was prepared. They lit up their tinders and illuminated a small area nearby. They saw a fork in the road ahead. The long corridor was dark and no one knew where it led to.

Xu Liang took out the map drawn by Li Qingyun, quickly selected a road, and said:

"Right here, follow me!"

Li Qingyun and the other two followed him and saw that the path was very wide and could easily accommodate two carriages running side by side. However, there were bends everywhere and many forks in the road, like a maze. It was so dark that they could not tell the direction at all.

All of them were martial arts practitioners, and even in the muddy and slippery corridor, they could move as fast as if they were walking on flat ground.

On the way, Xu Liang's time in charge of the Demon Suppression Tower came to an end. He handed over the meeting to Bai Yunrui, and then the four of them walked to the end shown on the map. They came to a cave and met Madam Wei in a plain long dress...

……

At the same time, in Yun Zhaozhong's house.

Inside the bedroom, Mrs. Yun, Su Yue'e, was sitting in front of the dressing table, drawing her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror and quietly admiring her own beauty.

Suddenly, a large blood stain appeared on the bronze mirror, slowly spreading and wriggling, like caterpillars forming some twisted small characters.

"The time has come. Let's meet in the old place, Wuyou Cave..."

Seeing these words, Su Yue'e's charming face suddenly became gloomy. She immediately stood up, walked to a large box in the corner of the room without saying a word, unlocked it, and took out a black nightgown from the bottom of the box.

Immediately, she took off her gown quickly, changed into night clothes, tightened her belt, and put on a black cloak on the outside, put on the hood, and gently wiped her face with her hand. The beautiful face with distinct features immediately became blurred, and it was hazy under the hood, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

After doing all this, she gently stroked the ruby ​​pendant around her neck with her slender fingers and said slowly:
"Xiao Jie, Dad finally has a chance to avenge you..."
