I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 113 Ling Ningzhi can't hold it anymore! (6K)

Jinzun Pavilion.

In the restaurant's private room, Jian Yinshan and Yan Linghu sat opposite each other.

Compared with the gracious hospitality of previous times, this time there was neither fine wine nor beautiful women, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Jian Yinshan's cheeks were thin, his expression was decadent, and he looked distraught.

During this period, he has been cooperating with the Censorate in the investigation.

Although no substantial evidence was found that he had embezzled public funds, through the confessions of the police and the review of official documents, he was eventually convicted of dereliction of duty and neglect of duty.

He was fined for half a year, his official rank was demoted from fifth to sixth rank, and he was transferred to the Experience Department to be in charge of logistics, while the affairs of the department were handed over to Li Kui.

From then on, there was no place for him in the Fire Department!
Completely out!

"Jian Fu Qian Hu, oh, no, now it should be called Jian Du Shi."

Yan Linghu shook his head and sneered, "You promised me in person that you would get Chen Mo out of office within two months, but what happened? Not only did you fail, but you also got yourself into trouble."

Jian Yinshan's face flushed, and he whispered, "Something went wrong indeed. I didn't expect the Six Gates to assist Chen Mo in solving the case and force him to raise the rate of solving the case..."

"Okay, I didn't call you here to listen to your explanation."

Yan Linghu waved his hands and said impatiently: "I won't make it difficult for you. Just return all the money you took from me, and I will pretend nothing happened."

So you're here to collect debt?
Jian Yinshan looked a little embarrassed.

He had indeed been greedy over the years, but in order to break through to the Divine Sea Realm, he spent almost all of it on spiritual essence and elixirs.

Last time, Chen Mo had "blackmailed" him for three thousand taels, and after all the money he had spent on arranging things here and there during this period, he had emptied out his family's savings. Now, he couldn't even come up with a hundred taels...

"Why, Master Jian, do you still want to renege on your debt?"

Yan Linghu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

Jian Yinshan moved his throat and said with difficulty: "Master Yan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. It's just that I've been really strapped for cash recently... Ahem, although I failed this time, Master Yan, don't worry, there's still a long way to go, and I will definitely not let Chen Mo have an easy time!"

The Experience Department is mainly responsible for archiving official documents, recording affairs and transmitting intelligence.

If you want to trip up Chen Mo, there is a lot of room for maneuver!
Yan Linghu glanced at him with disdain.

This idiot, even at this time, still can't recognize the situation.

Chen Mo removed the Minister of Revenue from his post, but Lu Bojun has not taken any action so far. This is enough to explain the problem!
A second-rank official had to give in, so how could a mere sixth-rank official dare to try to stop a chariot?
"What you want to do has nothing to do with me. I just want my money back." Yan Linghu said calmly.

Jian Yinshan didn't expect his attitude to change so quickly. He said with embarrassment: "But I really can't do anything now..."

"If you don't have silver, you can use other things to pay for it."

"Land deeds, spiritual materials, magic weapons, elixirs... I'll take them all. By the way, hasn't Donghuazhou been making quite a commotion recently? You can try your luck there. Any chance you get will be enough to pay off your debts. Maybe you can even break through to the fourth rank."

Yan Linghu had a smiling face, but his tone was icy cold. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "I'll give you five days, not a day less, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Jian Yinshan's face looked gloomy and ugly.

Yan Linghu was ruthless and merciless, and would do anything to achieve his goal. Without the status of a deputy commander, he couldn't afford to offend him...

However, within just a few months, his life changed drastically. His career as an official was cut off, his accumulation of more than ten years was destroyed, and he even owed a lot of foreign debts...

And all this is because of Chen Mo!

The hatred in my heart burns fiercely, and even all the water from the three rivers and five lakes cannot extinguish it!
However, thinking of Chen Mo's background, which seemed to be stronger than Yan Linghu's and could even make the East Palace issue an order, he lowered his head dejectedly again.

"Forget it, let's think about how to pay the money first..."

……

……

This time when he went to Donghua Prefecture, Chen Mo only told Li Yuan.

In order to avoid being targeted, he disguised himself, wearing a loose Taoist robe, a bone mask, and a breath-concealing ring to cover up his aura. Even his own mother probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Before leaving Kyoto, Chen Mo made a special trip to the Shen Mansion.

The last time we were honest with each other in the bath, the situation was a bit awkward, and I was too busy recently, so I forgot to give the dragon bone gloves to Shen Zhixia...

But it turned out that Shen Zhixia was out for training and would not be back for several days.

She also left him a letter, the content of which roughly said: During the time she is away, you are not allowed to have sex with General Li, and you can only hold hands at most...

Chen Mo shook his head.

He and Li Yuan know each other well, but sister Chong'er is still illiterate...

The version is too behind!

When I come back, I have to give her an upgrade patch!
The letter also mentioned that one of her good friends had come to Tiandu City and she would introduce the two to each other if she had the chance.

However, Shen Zhixia specifically emphasized that her friend was extremely beautiful, and asked Chen Mo not to have any bad thoughts, otherwise she would ignore him again!
"Haha, buddy is the one who cleared Frost Sky Palace alone, defeated a succubus with a spear, and captured a tiger alive. What kind of beauty has he not seen? Aren't you underestimating me?"

Chen Mo didn't take it seriously. After arranging everything, he left Tiandu City and headed towards Donghua Prefecture.

……

……

Donghua Prefecture is located in the eastern part of the Yuan Dynasty, bordering Qingzhou to the east and Zhongzhou to the west. The terrain is like a bow, and the Canglan River spans the north and south like a string.

Cangyun Mountain, as the highest peak, is located right on the ridge of the bow.

With the help of the speeding talisman, Chen Mo traveled day and night, and in just two days, he arrived at Wuyang County, which was the closest to Cangyun Mountain.

Walking into the city gate, the streets are crowded with people, and everywhere you can see warriors wearing bamboo hats, Taoists wearing brown robes, and monks with scars on their heads...

They were all people from the martial arts world and disciples from the sect who came here after hearing the news.

Chen Mo walked in wearing a green Taoist robe, inconspicuous and unnoticeable.

However, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be conflicts.

Just as he walked a few dozen meters, he heard an angry shout in his ear: "You bastard, you stole my magic weapon last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you dare to show up in front of me?"

"Hmph, natural treasures belong to those with virtue. Whoever can grab them will own them! Is your name, Qin Yi, written on that magic weapon?" The other person's voice was slightly feminine.

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!"

boom!
A surging energy surged, and two figures rose from the ground.

One of them was of burly build, dressed in black, and holding a huge machete in his hand.

The other person was wearing a white robe, waving a folding fan in his hand, and his feet were not touching the ground. He looked quite chic and elegant.

The burly man in black swung his machete and chopped fiercely, while the man in white waved his folding fan, and wind blades poured down like a rainstorm.

Clang——

Clang——

Clang——

The wind blade was blocked by the sturdy man's sword, changing its path and shooting in all directions.

There was a sudden cry of surprise in the street, and everyone tried to block and dodge. For a moment, there was a panic and people were thrown to the ground.

"Mother Ganlin, where are you shooting?"

"Don't involve us in your affairs!"

"If you want to fight, go outside the city. Be careful not to provoke the Sky Scale Guards!"

Chen Mo stood aside and watched coldly.

Judging from his aura alone, the man in white is inferior to the burly man. He deliberately used large-scale Taoist magic in order to divert the trouble so that he could find a chance to escape.

"You can't blame me for this, it was Qin Yi who started it first!"

The man in white explained as he waved his fan more violently, and a violent storm swept over.

The sturdy man was worried about harming innocent people, so he simply stopped fighting back, wrapped his whole body with his true energy, and rushed forward against the storm.

At this moment, a wind blade shot towards the direction where Chen Mo was.

Chen Mo frowned, feeling a little unhappy, and stretched out his hand to hold the wind blade tightly with two fingers.

Then he flicked his finger -

Swish!
The wind blade returned along the same path and hit the white-clothed man's wrist.

? !
The man in white felt a sudden pain, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground, causing the storm in the sky to pause.

The sturdy man keenly seized this opportunity, and slashed through the air with a knife, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, and hit him solidly in the chest!
Along with the teeth-grinding sound of metal clashing, the white clothes and the soft armor inside were torn apart, blood spurted out in an instant, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible!
"Qin Yi, just wait for me!"

The man in white let out a strange cry and flew backwards.

Seeing the burly man chasing him relentlessly, he took out a talisman from his arms, with a look of pain in his eyes, and slapped it directly on himself.

The sturdy man chopped for the second time, but missed. His figure turned into white mist and soon disappeared completely.

"Mist Hiding Talisman?"

"I didn't expect he still had this thing in his hand... Humph, but the opportunity is about to open, and if I stab him at this critical moment, he will be in trouble!"

After venting his anger, the strong man felt extremely relieved.

He turned his head to look in the direction where the wind blade came from, but he only saw a figure in a green Taoist robe disappearing into the crowd.

……

Chen Mo wandered around the city and looked for several restaurants, but all of them were full, with not a single vacant room.

Walking out of the last restaurant, he sighed helplessly.

After all, this time we are "traveling in casual clothes", and it is not convenient to go to the county government office. If it really doesn't work, we can only spend the night outside...

"Brother, please stay."

At this time, a deep voice sounded.

Chen Mo looked up and saw a burly man carrying a huge machete walking towards him.

It was the sturdy man named "Qin Yi" just now.

"Thank you very much for your help just now." Qin Yi said with a fist salute.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

His move was relatively covert, and he had a Breath-Concealing Ring to conceal his aura, but he still was recognized unexpectedly.

It seems that this guy's mind is not as rough as his appearance.

"I have no intention of interfering in the feud between you two. I am just giving you a taste of your own medicine." Chen Mo said calmly.

"Treat others in their own way?"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, and after chewing on it for a moment, he felt that these words were very consistent with his practice, and the look he gave Chen Mo became a little more intimate.

"I am Qin Yi, a true disciple of Kuixing Sect. Nice to meet you."

Kuixing Sect is one of the eight major sects. Its status in the martial arts world is only second to the Three Saints Sect. It is extremely powerful. I didn’t expect that this person has some background.

Chen Mo bowed and said, "I am Yang Dingtian, the chief disciple of the Hard Bang Gang. Nice to meet you, Brother Qin."

Hard Bang Gang?
This was the first time Qin Yi had heard of this name. He thought it should be a gang in a remote small town.

However, he did not look down on Chen Mo at all, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Yang. The restaurant in this city has been full a few days ago. If Brother Yang does not mind, you can stay in the same room with me. Anyway, a night of meditation and practice will pass quickly."

"This... isn't appropriate, right?" Chen Mo hesitated.

"We are all grown men, what are you afraid of?" Qin Yi warmly put his arm around his shoulders, "Come on, let's go in and talk. I'm worried that no one will drink with me."

Chen Mo thought about it and didn't refuse.

He just needed a legitimate identity, and following Qin Yi would save him a lot of trouble.

……

"drink!"

"Brother Yang has a good alcohol tolerance!" In the room on the second floor, the two of them were drinking and chatting happily.

After a few bottles of liquor, the atmosphere became more harmonious and the relationships became closer.

From Qin Yi, Chen Mo roughly understood the structure of the Jiuzhou sect, which was basically the same as in the original plot.

Apart from the Three Saints Sect, the eight major sects are the strongest. Among them, except for "one Gu, one Witch, one Corpse, and one Spell", the remaining four sects are all martial artists.

In fact, there were originally ten major sects, but Yuehuang Sect and Shigui Sect had been destroyed by Concubine Yu...

When mentioning Concubine Yu, a trace of gloom flashed across Qin Yi's eyes.

Obviously, the bloody methods used by this lady at that time left a great psychological shadow on all the major sects.

"I didn't expect that the Queen is so famous in the martial arts world. I wonder what his expression will be if I take out the Purple Luan Order now..." Chen Mo thought secretly.

Qin Yi raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. His rough face flushed a little. He asked, "I see that Brother Yang is wearing a Taoist robe. Are you from the Hard Bang Gang or the Taoist Cultivation Heritage?"

Chen Mo's aura was restrained, and his face was covered with mist, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

The way he speaks doesn't seem like someone from a small place.

Qin Yi asked this question out of curiosity and also as a test.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It's a small sect with a mixed crowd of good and bad people. They are all wanderers in the martial arts world. There is no inheritance to speak of."

Qin Yi asked again: "Does Brother Yang have a Taoist name?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "You can call me Master Xuanji."

"Xuanji?"

Qin Yi savored it and exclaimed: "The four stars of Beidoukuei are Xuanji. This name corresponds to the position of heaven and earth, and has the image of stars. It is really majestic!"

Chen Mo put down his wine glass and shook his head, saying, "Brother Qin misunderstood. The reason why I am called Xuanji is just because I am good at spinning."

Qin Yi: "..."

……

Next room.

Ling Ningzhi was sitting cross-legged in meditation, her moon-white Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, and her whole body exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

Shen Zhixia sat aside, holding a pig's trotter with ginger and black beans in her hands, chewing on it with her greasy little mouth.

"I've been out for three days. If I wait for the opportunity to come, plus the journey back, it will take at least four or five days before I can see Brother Chen Mo."

"But I've started to miss him..."

"I don't know if Brother Chen Mo received my letter... What if General Li sneaked in during my absence and they kissed? What if that happened?"

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia sighed and felt that the pig's trotter in his hand no longer smelled good.

Ling Ningzhi opened her eyes and said helplessly, "I have heard you sigh dozens of times along the way... You and your fiancé haven't seen each other for ten years. Can't you stand it after just a few days?"

Shen Zhixia pouted and snorted, "When the Taoist priest finds someone he likes, you will understand naturally."

Ling Ningzhi shook her head and said, "The world is full of burdens. Only by cutting off the ties of love can we sense the mysteries of the universe and enter a transcendental realm sooner... Eh?!"

The words stopped abruptly, and a strange feeling came over her. Ling Ningzhi's eyes widened, her pretty face flushed, and she stammered, "What are you doing?!"

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "It seems that the Taoist priest has not yet cut off all his feelings. He can't stand being touched by me. What would happen if it was a man?"

"Can this be the same!"

Ling Ningzhi brushed her hand away and looked at the greasy handprint on her Taoist robe. A flash of shame and anger appeared in her calm eyes.

I don’t know who this girl learned this from, she’s getting more and more outrageous!

“Well, it’s definitely different.”

Shen Zhixia's face felt a little hot, and she lowered her head and began to gnaw on the pig's trotter silently.

There was silence in the room.

……

……

The next morning.

As soon as the sky was getting light, everyone in the city flew towards Cangyun Mountain.

Last night, the mountains were filled with brilliant light that shot up into the sky all night long, and the phenomenon lasted longer than before. It should be a sign that opportunity is about to appear.

When Chen Mo and Qin Yi arrived at the top of the mountain, quite a lot of people had already gathered there, a sea of ​​black, most of them were warriors carrying weapons.

Taoist practitioners pay more attention to one's physique and the conditions for practice are also very demanding.

In comparison, the threshold for martial arts practitioners is lower, and their numbers are naturally the largest.

But to enter a higher realm, a warrior has to make several times or even dozens of times more efforts. Not only must he have enough comprehension, but he must also constantly temper his body, strengthen his qi and blood, and condense his true essence...

Especially after reaching the Pure Yang Realm, every breakthrough requires a lot of resources.

If one's talent is high enough, one may even receive more resources from the sect, but for ordinary warriors, they can only hope for "chance and luck."

Looking at the tall stone tablet that was shining with light not far away, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The inheritance of a powerful being..."

"I wonder if there are any differences from the previous life's strategy?"

Step, step, step——

At this time, a steady and slow sound of footsteps was heard.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn. Everyone turned around and saw a man in a black robe walking slowly towards them.

He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, an upright posture, a face as white as jade, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, black hair held up by a jade belt, a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, and a handsome look with a strong aura.

"Purple Refining Extreme?"

"He's here too?!"

"This is the current chief of Wusheng Mountain and the second-ranked genius on the Qingyun Ranking!"

"It's over. With him here, it seems that this good fortune will not be available to us."

Everyone whispered.

Zi Lianji stood with his sword in his arms, his eyes slightly closed, turning a deaf ear to the discussions. His entire body exuded an aloof and cold temperament from head to toe.

Many female cultivators had sparkling eyes and blushing cheeks, wanting to approach and chat with him, but were repelled by his unapproachable temperament.

Qin Yi frowned and whispered, "I heard that Zi Lianji is already at the peak of the fourth rank. If he can seize the opportunity this time and make further progress, he will probably become the youngest Grandmaster in Jiuzhou!"

"Brother Yang, what do you think?"

Chen Mo pinched his chin, looked at him for a moment, and said:
"The hairstyle looks casual, but it is actually carefully maintained. The broken hair cannot be blown away by the wind. It is obvious that too much hair wax was applied."

"The material of the clothes is the finest brocade. In case others can't tell, peacock feathers are specially added. The color will change under the light."

"He put on an indifferent expression, but in fact he was always looking out of the corner of his eye to see if anyone was paying attention to him. His pose was also a bit deliberate, and his muscles were too tense..."

"In my opinion, this is a typical pretender."

Qin Yi: "..."

You looked too carefully!
This brother Yang Dingtian is really always saying shocking things...

call--

At this time, a breeze blew by, and two figures came together in the air.

A man was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, his face was blurry and seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, and his every move exuded an otherworldly temperament.

The woman next to him was dressed in a tight outfit that wrapped her body neatly, with a slim waist and long legs, and was pretty and charming. Her eyebrows and eyes were like distant mountains, but the pig's trotter in her hand somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

The air was quiet for a moment, and then an uproar broke out!
"This robe... is from Tianshu Pavilion? Could it be Fairy Qingxuan?"

"This iconic temperament must be her!"

"Daoist Master Qingxuan is the peerless genius who ranks third on the Qingyun Ranking and first on the Rouge Ranking. How could she even be here?"

"The other one seems to be Shen Zhixia, the true disciple of Wusheng Mountain? Innate Zhenwu body, sixth on the Qingyun Ranking... Three geniuses at the level of the top ten. Today's trip is really worthwhile!"

The sound was noisy and the place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Fairy Qingxuan with fanaticism, which showed how popular she was!
Qin Yi nudged Chen Mo with his elbow and said, "Brother Yang, can you analyze these two again this time?"

There was no response for a long while. He turned his head and saw the two figures that Chen Mo was staring at blankly, motionless like sculptures.

"Ling Ningzhi, is she the friend mentioned in Zhixia's letter?"

"These two people are actually related, and they even came to Cangyun Mountain together... This part was not in the original plot!"

Zi Lianji, who had been standing with his sword in his arms and acting stern, opened his eyes and smiled, "Junior Sister Shen, Fairy Qingxuan, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Hello, Senior Brother Zi."

Shen Zhixia greeted.

Ling Ningzhi didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Zi Lianji was used to her indifference, and said with undiminished enthusiasm, "Fairy Qingxuan, this time with the two of us joining forces, we can seize the opportunity!"

Ling Ningzhi said calmly: "It's up to chance and fate. It all depends on your ability. I won't hold back. Chief Zi better be careful."

"..."

Having hit a snag, Zi Lianji felt a little embarrassed.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Ningzhi was still filled with passion.

"Tsk tsk, two chiefs from the Three Saints Sect are here. This is going to be really exciting." Qin Yi smacked his lips.

He had the same idea as the others. This opportunity was probably gone, but being able to see the number one on the Rouge List was still worth the trip.

I don’t know what the face under the mist looks like?
Chen Mo glanced at the crowd and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

?

Why is this guy here?
Looking at Jian Yinshan in a black robe, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

There are so many acquaintances today...

boom--

At this moment, the towering stone tablet shone brightly!
On the jade-like surface, complex and profound ancient seal characters emerge.

A vicissitudes and grand voice resounded in my ears:

[Third rank and below, one can enter the cave heaven. 】

【Each competes with his ability, each pursues his luck. 】

"It is indeed a secret realm! There must be a powerful inheritance in it!"

A martial artist stepped forward and carefully touched the stone tablet.

A brilliant light flashed past, and the figure suddenly disappeared!
When everyone came to their senses, they all rushed forward and entered the secret realm one after another.

Chen Mo and Qin Yi followed closely behind. A dazzling light flashed before their eyes. After their vision returned, they were shocked by the scene before them.

It is as if one has stepped into a dreamland isolated from the rest of the world, with towering green mountains all around, undulating like the indigo skirt of the earth. The vast mountain range is filled with rich spiritual light and medicinal fragrance, and who knows how many spiritual materials and treasures are hidden in them!

In the valley not far away, there are densely packed furnaces and tripods.

The vicissitudes of life sounded again:

[The furnace is hidden in the green valley, and the pine wind is its companion, guarding the tranquility. 】

[Put the sand and lead into the cauldron to melt into true fire, and after nine transformations, you will be waiting for the crane immortal. ]

[The first realm is opened! ]
