I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 162: The charming saint catches the cicada, and the roast chicken master is behind her!
Tiannan Prefecture is located in the southern border. Although it is not as barren as Nandu Prefecture, it is also famous for its dangerous mountains and rivers.

Hundreds of thousands of mountains are like giant broken spears stuck upside down in the earth, with jagged peaks and sharp edges. Bends and eighteen ravines lurk in the folds of the mountain ridges, and the sky is shrouded in perpetual miasma all year round, so that the sky always appears gray and black.

After two days of long journey, the Tianlin Guards finally arrived at the foot of the mountains in the northwest of Tiannan Prefecture.

"Xu~"

Qiu Long just pulled the reins to his horse and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

He took out the map from his arms, examined it carefully, and said, "The assembly point marked by Lord Bai should be here, but why is the communication talisman not responding?"

The communication talismans of Tianlin Guard can cover hundreds of miles. Logically, the branch officers should have been waiting here in advance since they knew they were coming.

Qiu Longgang frowned slightly, "Could it be that something went wrong on the road these two days... Dezi, Mingdi."

"Yes."

A general flag-teller took out a flare and shot it into the air.

The arrowhead exploded in mid-air, and the sharp sound echoed in the mountains and forests, startling a flock of flying birds.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the distant forest, and five figures rode their horses towards the crowd.

The leader was a burly man with a spear hanging from the saddle hook. He saluted and said, "Xu Chengbi, the captain of the Tianlin Guard's Tiannan Branch. Are you brothers from Tiandu City?"

Qiu Longgang showed his badge and said in a feminine tone, "Qiu Longgang, captain of the Binghuo Division, has been ordered to arrest the Blood Demon... Where is your communication talisman?"

"It turned out to be Lord Qiu."

Xu Chengbi bowed again and explained, "Your Excellency may not know that these Hundred Thousand Mountains are covered by miasma, which will affect the transmission of the talisman. If the range exceeds thirty miles, it will be almost impossible to sense it."

As he spoke, he took out the talisman and injected his true energy into it. The light was indeed much weaker than usual.

The communication symbol of Tianlinwei must be injected with true energy in a specific way. It can not only transmit messages, but also serve to identify identities.

After confirming that everything was correct, Qiu Longgang nodded and said, "Wait a moment, Master Chen will be here soon."

"Master Chen?"

Xu Chengbi sensed something and looked up, only to see a shadow flying over. It turned out to be a magical spiritual boat, extremely large in size, like a mansion in the sky.

As it came closer, the spirit boat slowly landed on the ground.

After a moment, two figures walked out one after the other.

The man walking in front was a tall man, his muscular body wrapped in a dark-patterned black martial arts robe, his face was as white as porcelain, his eyes were as bright as stars, and there was not a single flaw on his handsome face.

A woman in a moon-white Taoist robe followed behind him, wearing cloud shoes and a jade pendant around her waist. Her face was covered in clouds and mist, and there was an air of coolness and transcendence in her every move.

The fire department officers were stunned when they saw this.

When did the Demon Suppression Division have female priests?
The two of them were sleeping on a boat?
Ling Ningzhi pinched her hands and a brilliant light flashed. The flying boat shrank to the size of a palm and was directly put into her sleeve.

Feeling the gazes of people around me, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable and my face felt slightly hot.

The two days on the road felt like a year to her.

In order to test the stability of Qianjiyin, Chen Mo tried every possible way to torture her...

Thinking of that scene, Ling Ningzhi's legs and feet felt a little weak. She glared at Chen Mo hatefully and said indignantly:

"You are such a bad guy! You won't be satisfied until I show you my ugly side! I am really possessed by a demon. I actually took the initiative to go with you..."

"..."

Chen Mo shook his head.

The fairy is really a person who says one thing but does another.

Although I have been crying and cursing for the past two days, my favorability has been rising steadily, and it seems that I am about to break through to the next stage...

And it seemed that the more he bullied her, the more dependent she became on him. Now, even if he didn't use the power of the contract, she would subconsciously listen to him, but she just wouldn't admit it.

I wonder if this can be considered as "degeneration" in some sense?
"grown ups."

Seeing Chen Mo coming over, the officers bowed to him one after another.

Xu Chengbi came back to his senses and asked, "I wonder who this person is..."

Qiu Longgang said: "This is Lord Chen Mochen, the deputy commander of the Fire Department, who is in charge of the case of hunting down the Blood Demon."

"Chen Mo?"

Xu Chengbi seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "You are the new leader of the Qingyun Ranking, Tianyuan Wu Kui, Master Chen?!"

He was young and extremely brave, overpowering the two great Saint Sect leaders. No one among his peers could match him. He was the first military officer in the imperial court and was known as the best in the history of the Tianlin Guard. His reputation had spread to all branches...

Chen Mo sighed. Being too famous was not a good thing for him.

Nowadays, both the sects and the demon tribe are ready to make a move. If you don’t want to be targeted, it’s better to keep a low profile.

Xu Chengbi's eyes were eager, and he said excitedly: "I heard that Master Chen once killed the Tenth Heavenly Demon with his own hands. This time, with Master here, the Blood Demon will definitely not return!"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Chen Mo looked up at the mountains and said, "Is the blood demon hiding in these mountains?"

"That's right. This area of ​​100 miles has been blocked layer by layer. Not even a fly can fly out."

"But this demon was very cunning. He seemed to have discovered something and fled all the way to the mountains, slaughtering several villages along the way..."

At this point, Xu Chengbi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "In just these few days, nearly a thousand people have died!"

Chen Mo's eyes darkened when he heard this.

Knowing that he was surrounded, he not only did not escape, but continued to kill people?
Is it because of his arrogant character or because he is fearless?
Xu Chengbi calmed down and said, "This journey is long and your Excellency must be very tired from the journey. Why don't you take a rest for half a day and then go into the mountain tomorrow..."

"No need, there is no time to lose. The longer you delay, the greater the variables will be."

Chen Mo jumped on his horse and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Xu Chengbi raised his hand and whipped his horse, riding it in front and leading everyone into the mountains.

……

……

On a barren mountain in the distance, two figures were lying on the back of a slope, holding telescopes in their hands, looking at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

Seeing the group of Tianlin Guard officers rushing over, led by a man wearing a pink martial robe and with feminine manners, Yu Hongyin couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Is this sissy the detective that Bai Lingchuan mentioned? He doesn't seem very reliable. Is Mr. Bai trying to fool us?"

"Probably not." The little maid beside her shook her head and said, "Bai Lingchuan's life span is coming to an end, and he urgently needs immortal plants to prolong his life. He should be more active than us in capturing Fu Li."

"I hope so... The Tianlin Guards are coming faster than expected. The sect's support has not arrived yet. Let's follow them in secret first and find out the exact location of Fu Li."

"Yes."

"When Fu Li defected, he stole the sect's most precious treasure, the Eclipse Sundial. After so many years, he must have refined it long ago. Logically speaking, this group of branch officers cannot hold him back at all."

"He still refuses to leave. He must be planning something. We should be careful..."

While the two were talking, they saw a flying boat breaking through the air and landing on the ground. They hurriedly raised their telescopes to observe.

When they saw the two figures, one in black and one in white, they were stunned.

"Chen Mo?"

"And Qingxuan?"

Yu Hongyin was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that the “capable person” Bai Lingchuan mentioned actually referred to Chen Mo!
After all, he was a deputy commander, and he should have been sitting in the court to judge documents, but he traveled thousands of miles to the southern border to handle a case...

The little maid held her face in her hands and said with a smile, "So this is the capable person that Bai Lingchuan mentioned. With Master Chen here, the chances of catching Fu Li have increased a lot."

"..."

Yu Hongyin glanced at her sideways.

This damn girl's worldview is determined by her appearance. She becomes obsessed with Chen Mo every time she sees him...

But then again, with Chen Mo's strength and ability to handle cases, he is indeed the best candidate to hunt down the Ten Heavenly Demons. Maybe this time we really have to rely on him...

Seeing everyone heading towards the mountain, the two of them stood up and followed them from a distance behind.

……

On top of another mountain.

Ji Lianxing was wrapped in a black robe, with shadows covering her face. Her two dark purple eyes were like burning flames.

She looked at the Tianlin Guards at the foot of the mountain, then looked at the two people hiding in the distance, and her brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"From the aura, it seems that he is a disciple of the Netherworld Sect..."

"Chen Mo came to Southern Xinjiang to capture the Blood Demon? What does this have to do with the Witch Cult?"

call--

A breeze blew behind him, and a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"metropolitan."

Ji Lianxing asked without even turning her head: "How is the investigation going?"

The shadow replied, "The Imperial Guards have already found out the location of the Gu God Cult and are heading towards Tiannan Province. It is expected that they will enter Tiannan in half an hour."

"The Gu God Cult is also hiding in Tiannan?"

Ji Lianxing was stunned when he heard this.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?
She thought for a moment and ordered, "You continue to monitor the movements of the imperial court. Once you find the location of the Gu God Cult, report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

The shadow slowly dissipated.

Looking at the group of figures heading into the mountains, Ji Lianxing raised a clear arc at the corner of his mouth, "God really helps me. It's just right to do two things at the same time!"

……

……

The ochre-red rock walls look like they were chiseled by a god's axe, and a winding line of sky appears between the stone peaks that are over a hundred feet high.

As the saying goes, monsters hide treasures and poisonous miasma breeds pearls. The more dangerous a place is, the more rare and exotic animals it contains.

The steep rock walls around it form a natural barrier, known as the Thousand-Ren Stone Screen. Many villages have lived here for generations, making a living by collecting herbs and hunting.

The group walked slowly, weaving through the gaps between the steep cliffs. The mist covering the sky made the light a little dim, and they could faintly hear the roar of unknown beasts.

As they spiraled upward along the mountain road, Xu Chengbi reported every detail of the case to Chen Mo.

Over the years, the Blood Demon has been roaming around southern Xinjiang, committing numerous bloody crimes and taking countless lives.

The border of Tiannan Prefecture was particularly devastated. The terrain was complex, the emperor was far away, and there was no sectarian power. The government officials alone could not catch a single hair.

Xu Chengbi secretly investigated for many years, but still found nothing...

It wasn't until half a year ago that Bai Lingchuan found him.

Not only did it provide many important clues, but also a large number of battle formations and tracking tools, which helped to analyze the Bleeding Demon's modus operandi and set up a trap in the Ten Thousand Mountains in advance, waiting for the prey.

After waiting for several months, the blood demon was finally captured.

But they were not strong enough and did not dare to alert the enemy, so they could only secretly encircle the enemy from the outside while waiting for Kyoto to send people for support.

Chen Mo's mind was slightly moved when he heard this, and he murmured to himself: "Bai Lingchuan and the Netherworld Sect have cooperated for a long time. These clues and magic tools should all be provided by the Netherworld Sect... Is the Wu Cult going to such great lengths to track down Fu Li just to clean up the sect?"

Everyone passed through the narrow gap and entered the Thousand-Ren Stone Screen.

After seeing the scene before them, they were all stunned.

This is a small village with more than a hundred households. Nine out of ten mud-walled thatched houses are empty. The blood-rusted plowshares are tilted on the edge of the well. The trough is filled with dark red slurry, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Dozens of shriveled and headless corpses were hung on the branches of the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, including the elderly and children.

On the ground below, a pile of skulls were arranged in a seven-star formation. Rusty iron nails were inserted between their eyebrows. Their eyes were bulging, and they died with their eyes open, but there was a creepy smile on the corners of their mouths.

The air was filled with a foul smell and green-headed flies were buzzing around the corpses.

"Every time the Blood Demon massacres a village, he will arrange the bodies like this, as if to demonstrate to the court."

Xu Chengbi whispered, "In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the body has not been processed yet. It can only be left here..."

Chen Mo remained silent and continued to ride forward.

As we went deeper into the mountains, the tragic scene just now kept repeating itself.

As far as the eye can see, almost all the villages have been slaughtered, with more than a thousand people killed, and the shriveled corpses piled up like building blocks to form a Jingguan.

The air pressure became increasingly low, and the expressions of the fire department officers were extremely grim.

They were working in Kyoto and were used to the prosperity and splendor of the world. This hellish scene on earth came as a huge shock to them.

Here, human life is worthless like grass...

Ling Ningzhi clenched her slender hands under her Taoist robe, and because she used too much force, blood marks appeared on her palms. Her black and white eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

So many people were killed in just a few days. The Blood Demon has been causing trouble for years. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The number of lives he has taken is probably countless!
What made her even more frightened was that such a demon who had committed so many evil things was only ranked seventh on the Demon List!
At this moment, she finally had a personal experience of the "troubled times" that her master had mentioned.

Passing through the narrow pass between two mountains and leaving Qianren Shiping, the surrounding villages gradually become sparse.

After walking for dozens of miles, we heard a rumbling sound of water ahead. We saw a turbulent river flowing through the mountains. The turbid river water was swirling, and it was obvious that there were many reefs below, which was very dangerous.

"This is the Snake Mother River, a turbulent river that originates from deep within the Shiwan Mountains."

Xu Chengbi pointed to the vast mist on the other side of the river and said, "After crossing the Shemu River, we will reach the Tianzang Abyss, which stretches for hundreds of miles. We have tracked it all the way here and confirmed that the blood demon has fled to the depths of the swamp."

"The sky above the Heavenly Miasma Abyss is filled with poisonous miasma, making it impossible to fly. Below is black mud and sludge, making it difficult to move... This is the best opportunity to capture the Blood Demon!"

Xu Chengbi's tone became more and more urgent as he spoke, and his expression was full of excitement.

As a captain of the Tiannan Province branch, he has been tracking down the Blood Demon for many years and he knows how rare this opportunity is!

"The Blood Demon is proficient in the art of transformation, so he should have a chance to escape. Why does he insist on getting into this quagmire?" Chen Mo frowned, feeling doubtful.

The Blood Demon has been a powerful figure in Tiannan for many years and should be very familiar with the terrain here. It is unlikely that he would panic and lose his way.

Although something feels wrong, I have already chased him here and there is no way I can just go back like this.

After all, it is a dangerous place. You will know it after you go there.

They tied their horses to a tree trunk on the shore, and flew across the river until they arrived at the Tianzang Abyss, which was said to be difficult for even birds to cross.

The scene before my eyes was filled with thick miasma, bubbles were surging in the muddy black swamp, rotten grass and decayed banyan trees were entangled together, rising and falling in the mud.

An iron chain as thick as a wrist was tied to the tree trunk, connecting a number of wooden boats and extending all the way to the depths of the swamp.

"There are magical plants growing in this swamp. Picking one plant is enough for a family to eat for several years, so the mountain people use this iron chain to connect the boats as a trestle to avoid getting lost in the fog." Xu Chengbi said.

Chen Mo glanced at him and asked, "Captain Xu, do you know the situation here well?"

Xu Chengbi smiled and said, "I also came from the mountains. I have been hanging around here for many years, so naturally I know a little bit about everything."

He looked up at the weather and said, "Master Chen, it's getting late. After dark, the swamp will be full of ghost lights, which is very dangerous. If you want to catch someone, you'd better hurry up."

"Makes sense."

Chen Mo raised his legs and walked towards the mud. Just as his toes touched the edge of the muddy water, he suddenly stopped and said, "But I still have a question."

Xu Chengbi said, "Your Excellency, please feel free to ask."

"Captain Xu is a martial artist?"

"Yes, a fifth-rank warrior, with a spearmanship inherited from his family."

"Oh." Chen Mo nodded, and then asked, "Where's your gun?"

Xu Chengbi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he slapped his head and said with a wry smile: "Look at my memory. I was so busy reporting the situation to you that I forgot to take my weapon... Please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

After saying that, he turned around and headed back towards Shemu River.

"stop."

Tread-tap-

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded.

The people from the Fire Department moved as fast as lightning and surrounded several officers including Xu Chengbi.

Clang——

The blade is unsheathed, emitting cold light!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Xu Chengbi's face changed when he saw this, "What do you mean, colleagues?"

Qiu Longgang held the long whip and said in a feminine tone, "You can't leave unless the master lets you go."

Xu Chengbi looked up at Chen Mo and frowned, "My lord, you don't believe me?"

"The Blood Demon is the seventh heavenly demon. His strength is unpredictable and his methods are treacherous. Even if a third-rank master comes, he won't dare to slack off... But along the way, you have been too relaxed."

"Besides, as a senior centurion, how could you forget to take up your weapon when you might encounter an enemy at any time?"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "The fundamental reason is that you don't know how to use a gun, so you made such a low-level mistake, right?"

Xu Chengbi shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is really overthinking. I was just careless for a moment... The communication talisman can't be fake, right?"

"The communication talisman is indeed not fake. I can also see that you are not possessed by an evil spirit."

“But that’s the biggest problem.”

Chen Mo's eyes were filled with purple-gold halo, and his thumb gently pushed the blade, revealing a ray of cold light. "The blood demon is proficient in the art of transformation, and may have already infiltrated the Tianlin Guard. I can't take risks with the lives of my brothers."

"Since you say it was negligence, then surrender and let me examine your soul."

Xu Chengbi was silent for a moment, sighed, and slowly knelt on the ground. "Since you have spoken, I dare not disobey you. I just hope you can do it as soon as possible and don't delay the important matter."

Seeing how cooperative he was, Chen Mo's eyes became even colder and he raised his chin to signal.

Qiu Long just stepped forward and prepared to escort a few people away first.

However, at this moment, the iron chain on the side suddenly shook.

wow-

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw the mud surging in front of them. A giant crocodile, pitch black and two meters long, suddenly jumped out, opening its bloody mouth and biting them!

"careful!"

A general drew his sword and chopped it. The blade cut the crocodile's scales, causing a series of sparks to burst out, but it couldn't hurt the crocodile at all!

Just as he was about to be bitten in two by the crocodile—

Swah——

A bright blade flashed, splitting the huge body in half, and dark blood poured out like a rainstorm.

Chen Mo held the Jade-Breaking Knife in his hand, looking solemnly at the depths of the swamp. The black mud was churning like boiling water, and countless crocodile heads slowly emerged, with their yellow vertical pupils staring at everyone.

"This is the black-scaled crocodile unique to Tianzangyuan. Its skin is as hard as iron, and it cannot be hurt by swords or knives. Once you enter their territory, it will not be easy to leave." Xu Chengbi said quietly as he lay on the ground.

Qiu Longgang said coldly: "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

"I didn't expect Lord Chen to have such a sharp vision. I originally thought that it would be enough to just fool him a little bit..." Xu Chengbi shook his head helplessly.

"Qingxuan, the crocodile is in your hands."

Chen Mo did not hesitate at all. He dodged and turned around, and the jade-breaking knife in his hand drew a mysterious arc and went straight for Xu Chengbi's throat!

Don’t worry about anything else, just kill first!

Xu Chengbi had no intention of resisting, his eyes were full of mockery, and he let the sword energy pour down on him.

Swah——

The head flew high, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

click-

Then, accompanied by a series of chilling noises, Xu Chengbi's body twisted and his spine broke into a strange angle.

Immediately afterwards, a new head squeezed out of the chest cavity.

Then the limbs...

The hands and feet were pierced through the flesh and blood, and the whole skin was sloughed off like taking off clothes.

The man was thin and weak, like a child, with sunken cheeks, pale skin, and a pair of green bean-sized eyes that flashed with a cold look.

"As expected of you, you are the martial arts champion. You have a good eye. I wanted to save some trouble." The voice was hoarse and low, making people feel uneasy.

Chen Mo felt heavy in his heart.

No wonder the Golden Eyes of Delusion-Breaking couldn't see anything unusual. It turned out that he wasn't taking over another body, but was hiding directly in Xu Chengbi's body? !
