I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 364 A Dark and Windy Night! Yu Youhan: I'm furious right now!
Swah——

Li Yuan moved with lightning speed, dragging her long sword in one hand, and flashed behind the monster.

The blade, wreathed in black flames, sliced ​​through the arc of the full moon and slashed down from mid-air!

However, the monster had two heads, one in front and one behind, so there were no blind spots in its vision. It raised its weapon and charged forward.

Keng——

A burst of fire!

In the instant of close combat, Li Yuan activated his true energy, and his Mo Dao suddenly accelerated.

With the force of the impact, he severed the four long swords in two, then twisted his hips and spun around, aiming for his neck!

"Ow!"

The monster reacted extremely quickly, letting out a strange cry as it retreated rapidly on all four legs.

At the same time, the skin shimmered with a metallic sheen and was covered by a layer of black carapace, which was extremely hard. When the Martial Soul Blade struck it, it only left a deep, bone-revealing cut, without directly severing the head.

While the two were locked in combat, the other bodyguards swarmed in.

Their strength was clearly a level weaker, and they were killed by the howling gale before they even got close to the center of the battlefield. However, under the control of the Gu worms, their corpses were pieced back together and charged forward again without fear of death.

It's obvious they plan to overwhelm Li Yuan with sheer numbers!

But this suited Li Yuan's wishes perfectly. Her specialty, the Mo Dao, was wide and powerful, making it more suitable for charging into battle and using force against force to become increasingly fierce, like a tireless human meat grinder!
"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by piercing screams, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and blood splattered indiscriminately, turning the entire courtyard into a picture of hell!
Lee Ji-chang stood at a distance, observing coldly, and did not make a move from beginning to end.

I thought that a mere Transcendent Martial Artist would be easy to defeat, but I didn't expect him to be so troublesome. Even when fighting against dozens of opponents, he was not at a disadvantage!

Judging by their fighting strength, it's almost impossible to take them down in a short time!

“But none of that matters. As long as we keep this woman occupied until the other problem is resolved, she’ll be sitting ducks.” Li Chichang sneered.

Huang Nianyun is already a fourth-rank cultivator, and with the added blessing of the [Fungus Strain], even a Grandmaster could encounter him!
A mere commander of a thousand men will definitely not fare well!
boom--

A violent tremor came from the ground.

Thick black fog spread out, obscuring vision until one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and the only sound was the dull thud of fists hitting flesh.

After about half an incense stick's time, the sound gradually stopped.

"it's over?"

"Not only did we successfully cultivate the strain this time, but we also killed Chen Mo, eliminating this major threat to the sect. The sect leader will surely reward us handsomely when he finds out about this!"

Lee Ji-chang looked extremely excited.

The southern suburbs were destroyed because of Chen Mo, and only then did the imperial court send troops to wipe out the mountain gate. Yin Tiankuo could have escaped successfully, but he unexpectedly collided with the Blood Demon, resulting in the destruction of his physical body.

It can be said that the Gu God Cult's current state is inextricably linked to this guy!
"Guardian, remember to leave him with a complete corpse, so that no one will disbelieve you later..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Lee Ji-chang's expression froze on his face as he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

As the black mist dissipated, a colossal creature several meters tall stood there, its six arms as thick as trees, radiating an aura of power akin to that of a mountain.

In contrast, Huang Nianyun's bone spurs were all broken, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and huge fist marks were left on his tough skin. He had been beaten into a pulp and had completely lost the ability to move!
"That's it?"

"I haven't even used my full strength yet, isn't my little concubine far too fragile?"

Chen Mo raised his leg and stepped on Huang Nianyun, his scarlet eyes full of mockery.

Huang Nianyun no longer had the confident look she had just had; her eyes were now filled with fear.

"How can this be?!"

As the carrier of the [strain], her physical body can continuously regenerate, making her almost immortal.

But she was powerless against this man, especially when she was hit by the fist with the word "hate" engraved on it. Her self-healing ability failed, and her wound continued to fester!
"Boring, you can go die now."

Chen Mo raised his arm, which was engraved with the character "Kill," and pointed his palm at Huang Nianyun. Countless black dust particles gathered, and the terrifying aura of destruction sent chills down one's spine!

"not good!"

Huang Nianyun's pupils shrank to pinpoints. She turned to look at Li Chichang, who was standing there in a daze, and said in a sharp, urgent voice, "Quick! Go and activate the Nine Nether Array!"

Li Chichang suddenly awoke with a start, and without hesitation, leaped towards the inner courtyard.

whoosh-

Just then, a whistling arrow pierced the night sky.

The next moment, a deafening explosion rang out, dazzling flames shot out, houses collapsed in patches, and the huge impact almost threw him away!
"W-what's going on?"

Looking at the sea of ​​fire before him, Lee Chi-chang looked bewildered.

Suddenly, he realized something—

Where did the Tianlin Guard officer who had followed him since the start of the banquet go?
"So, Chief Escort Li, do you like the gift I gave you?" Chen Mo asked.

Lee Chi-chang's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That jade talisman isn't for location tracking..."

“It’s a Thunderfire Talisman,” Chen Mo said with a smile. “On such a joyous occasion, of course we have to set off some firecrackers to add to the festivities.”

He sensed something was wrong the moment he entered the Li residence.

The mansion has a very complex internal structure and is equipped with multiple shielding formations, making it impossible to observe directly with divine sense.

So he attached a wisp of soul power to Song Xuan, instructing him to remove the shield, and then, through continuous deduction using the array plate, discovered that the entire Li mansion was a giant magic array...

"To avoid any unexpected events, you've taken a second precaution, which is to use this so-called 'Nine Nether Array' to refine all living things within a radius of dozens of miles and forcibly accelerate the growth of the bacteria?"

Lee Ji-chang's face was gloomy, as if water could be wrung out of it.

At this moment, he realized that there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation, and the mission had already failed.

Without hesitation, he took out a talisman from his sleeve and stuck it on his body. His figure slowly dissipated like a bubble.

A hint of mockery flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. He didn't chase after him, but let him leave. He looked down at Huang Nianyun and said, "It seems your accomplice abandoned you and ran away... It's getting late. It's time to send you to see your father."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Huang Nianyun said hurriedly, "You can't kill me! These people are closely connected to me. If I die, they won't be able to live either!"

"So what?" Chen Mo spread his hands and said, "You killed the people, what does it have to do with me?"

"You are an official appointed by the imperial court, how could you..."

"My purpose in heading south is to eradicate the remnants of the Gu God Cult. As for these people... it would be best if I could save them, but it doesn't matter if I can't. After all, the Great Yuan Dynasty has no shortage of mortals."

Huang Nianyun was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Chen Mo's indifferent expression, the last bit of hope in her heart was extinguished.

She couldn't understand it at all. She had prepared for so long and thought her plan was foolproof, but every step she took was seen through by the other party. She was like a fish on a chopping board, with no ability to resist.

"My enemy is right in front of me, but I am powerless to do anything about it..."

"Father, your son is unfilial..."

Huang Nianyun's eyes gradually dimmed.

In that instant when her mind wavered, those scarlet eyes, like deep vortexes, channeled their soul power into her sea of ​​consciousness, seizing the opportunity to activate the second divine power she had obtained from the "Primordial Spiritual Constitution":
A grand dream that lasts a thousand years!

Compared to [Floating Dream], [Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns] is more powerful, as it can drag the other person into an illusion and even rewrite their memories and distort their cognition.

The more distracted the other party is, the stronger the effect will be.

Chen Mo had been pushing Huang Nianyun to this point step by step, laying the groundwork for this moment. He wanted to completely destroy her defenses at this critical juncture, ensuring that his supernatural powers would be used to their fullest potential.

Huang Nianyun's vision blurred, the scene changed, and she was back in the old house where she lived when she was a child.

Jiang Qiyuan sat in front of the bed, looking at her with a warm smile.

"Honey, are you awake?"

"father!"

Huang Nianyun climbed out of bed and threw herself into that warm embrace, large tears soaking her clothes. "Waaah, Dad, I had a nightmare, it was so scary..."

"With your father here, there's nothing to fear." Jiang Qiyuan gently stroked her hair and said softly, "You've done very well. Let go, and leave all the problems to your father."

"Um……"

Huang Nianyun nodded obediently, secretly relieved.

Thankfully, it was just a dream. She thought her father was really dead, but the dream was just too long and too real...

In reality, Huang Nianyun closed her eyes tightly and murmured incantations. The guests present trembled, and snow-white fleshy worms crawled out of their seven orifices, and their bodies stopped "transforming into trees".

Once everyone was out of danger, Chen Mo asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Huang Nianyun replied, "The Gu God Sect is allied with Protector Yunduo."

How many followers does the Gu God Cult have left?

"There are two elders, fifteen Dharma protectors, and the number of ordinary followers is too scattered to be certain, but a rough estimate is over five thousand."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

I thought the Gu God Cult was just a few rotten apples left, but I never expected it to grow to such a large scale in just a few months!

It seems that the commander's decision to send him to the southern border was not entirely unreasonable. At this rate of development, it will probably not be long before they make a comeback, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Only by completely eliminating Yin Tiankuo can this scourge be eradicated at its root!
"Where is Yin Tiankuo now?" Chen Mo asked. Huang Nianyun shook his head and said, "I don't know. The sect leader never reveals his whereabouts to us."

Chen Mo frowned and asked, "Where is your nearest base? And how do you contact your superiors?"

“Our base is at Jiutou Mountain, and we are…” Huang Nianyun paused here, her eyes darting around as if she were about to wake up from a dream.

"answer me!"

Chen Mo pushed his soul power to its limit.

Huang Nianyun's body trembled violently, her eyes rolled back, and turbid liquid flowed from her mouth and nose.

But he showed no sign of stopping. Under such brutal methods, Huang Nianyun's brain was turned into mush, and he soon fell silent.

"Tch, it really was placed under a restriction."

Chen Mo snorted coldly, not surprised at all.

Yin Tiankuo has always been cautious in his actions, and moreover, his strength has not yet recovered, so it is impossible for him to show himself easily. It will probably not be an easy task to catch up with his whereabouts.

As her consciousness dissipated, Huang Nianyun's body began to decay rapidly.

Under the backlash of the Gu worms, it quickly turned into a pool of corpse water, while its flesh and blood became nutrients to nourish the bacteria in its belly. The mycelium danced, and a rudimentary shape resembling a fleshy Ganoderma lucidum could be vaguely seen.

puff-

Chen Mo raised his hand in the air, and the bacterial strain burst out and hung in mid-air.

Sensing the life force contained within, the golden branches and jade leaves in the dantian swayed.

However, he did not rush to absorb it. After thinking for a moment, he put it into the Heavenly Profound Ring for the time being. Since Yin Tiankuo was so eager to reshape his physical body, this thing might still be useful.

On the other side, Li Yuan was still engaged in fierce combat with the group of bodyguards.

Half of them had already been chopped into mincemeat, and even the Gu worms could not restore their bodies, firmly maintaining the upper hand.

Chen Mo gently swung his killing arm, and black mist swept over them. The bodyguards froze on the spot, and then their bodies disintegrated like quicksand, completely returning to nothingness.

"grown ups."

Li Yuan took a deep breath. Although she was not injured, she was somewhat exhausted after the series of battles.

She looked around and asked, "Where is Lee Chi-chang?"

"They've escaped." Chen Mo dispelled his demonic form and said calmly, "Don't worry, they can't have gone far."

call--

Song Xuan flew over, carrying a long sword, his robes splattered with blood.

Approaching Chen Mo, he cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, we have already searched the area. Apart from a few hosts controlled by Gu worms, we have not found any other disciples of the Gu God Cult."

“That means the base isn’t here.” Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and said, “Let’s go and see if Commander Ye has made any progress.”

“Yes.” Li Yuan and Song Xuan nodded in response.

Before leaving, Chen Mo glanced at Ji Weifeng, who was hiding behind a pillar, and tossed him a communication talisman, saying, "I'll leave this to Magistrate Ji to handle. If there's an emergency, just crush this."

"Your humble servant obeys..."

Ji Weifeng caught it in a flurry of activity.

When I looked up again, the three of them had vanished.

He then realized that the reason he hadn't been controlled by the Gu worms was because Lord Chen had protected him...

Thinking back to his past fraternal relationship with Li Chichang and the considerable donations he had received, Ji Weifeng felt a chill run down his spine. If this were to be taken seriously, wouldn't it be tantamount to colluding with the Gu God Cult?!

Given the imperial court's attitude of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," his time as county magistrate is probably numbered!
The only one who can prove his innocence is Lord Chen, so we must cling to this powerful figure!
……

……

Soon after, the guests woke up one after another, still looking somewhat dazed.

For them, it was like having a beautiful dream, but they couldn't remember exactly what they dreamt about.

As they gradually regained consciousness, they were stunned by the sight of broken walls and piles of corpses all around them.

"W-What's going on?!"

"Am I still dreaming?!"

"Everything was fine just a moment ago, how could so many people die in the blink of an eye!"

As an ordinary citizen of a small county, I had never seen such a scene before.

Some people collapsed to the ground with their legs going weak, while others bent over and vomited violently, almost bringing up bile.

Screams and exclamations filled the air, accompanied by the piercing cries of children, turning the scene into complete chaos.

Snapped--

Ji Weifeng stood in the center of the courtyard, raised a wine jar and smashed it on the ground, shouting, "Silence!"

The atmosphere quieted down, and all eyes were on him. Seeing that the magistrate was still there, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a bit.

"The Li family has ties to the Gu God Cult. They poisoned the food and drink with Gu, attempting to poison the entire city!" Ji Weifeng said in a deep voice, "Thanks to Lord Chen's intervention, their plot was thwarted, and a tragedy was prevented..."

hiss? !

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

Master Li, who is known for his chivalry, is actually a demonic figure in a cult.

I thought I was getting a good deal by attending this banquet, but it turns out they were the real "main course"?
No wonder I felt sore in the back and weak all over, like I'd been to brothels for a month straight, and my body was completely drained...

Ji Weifeng ordered, "All officials present, listen to my command! Go to every household in the city and summon all the people who have attended the banquet at the Li residence in the past few days to the yamen to await Lord Chen's instructions!"

"Yes!"

……

……

The night was deep, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

Outside the county town, a shadowy figure appeared out of thin air. After confirming that no one was around, it flew towards Jiutou Mountain.

Along the way, he constantly changed his location, his figure like a ghost, and he would occasionally activate talismans to hide his tracks. When he arrived at the Shuikou River, he plunged into the turbulent water to wash away the aura that had clung to his body.

Then they swam upstream along the river for more than ten miles.

Upon arriving at the foot of Jiutou Mountain, we leaped out of the water to dry ourselves off, changed into new clothes, and then entered the vast mountain forest.

After passing through layers of dense forest, we arrived deep in the desolate mountains, entered a cave, and knocked on the tightly closed door.

Before long, the door slowly opened.

A man dressed in a black robe came forward.

Upon seeing Li Chichang, he was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why are you the only one who came back? Where is Protector Jiang?"

“Dead.” Li Chichang said with a gloomy face, “Chen Mo of the Tianlin Guard came to our door, saw through our identities, and no one survived except me. The mission failed.”

The man in black gasped, exclaiming in shock, "How is this possible..."

Li Chichang interrupted, "There's no time to go into details now. Chen Mo has likely already broken through to the Grandmaster level, and his trip south is for our sect. This matter is of great importance, and we must inform the elders as soon as possible!"

The man in black realized the seriousness of the situation, said no more, and turned to walk into the cave.

Lee Ji-chang followed closely behind.

Upon entering the cave, a cave dwelling of comparable size to the Li family's was discovered.

The pearls embedded in the walls barely illuminated the surroundings. Hundreds of believers sat cross-legged on the ground, with bottles and jars in front of them, all containing Gu worms that were being cultivated.

Possession by Gu worms can fail, and precise targeting is impossible. To turn nearly ten thousand people in the city into nourishment, at least twice the number of Gu worms would be needed.

For this, they have been working without sleep for two whole months. If their bodies hadn't already been modified, they wouldn't have been able to keep going.

The man in black arrived at the altar deep within the cave, and just as he was about to activate the array to contact headquarters, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute..."

He looked at Li Chichang and asked hesitantly, "If Chen Mo is really a grandmaster, then how did you manage to come back alive?"

"I……"

Just as Li Jichang was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw two women who had appeared behind him at some point.

One of them was wearing a long purple dress and had a charming and beautiful appearance.

The other person had an ordinary appearance, but a very special temperament, with a pair of blue-green eyes that seemed like bottomless pools.

Xu You looked around and frowned, saying, "I was hoping to vent my anger, but there are only a few people here?"

She looked up at the man in black and asked, "Have you contacted headquarters? Call more help over, I need it urgently."

Man in black:"……"

Lee Ji-chang: "..."
