Chu Prefecture.
Cang Mountain.
This was a barren mountain 200 miles away from Chu Prefecture City.
More than 300 years ago, it was once a tourist area. However, ever since the appearance of demons, humans were gathered in the town, and this place was completely abandoned.
On the ancient path of Cang Mountain, which had been desolate for 300 years, there was finally a human settlement today.
A group of people in white appeared on the mountain path.
It was the new director of Chu Zhou's Monster Slaying Department, Gu Xiyu, and her subordinates.
After Gu Xiyu came to Chu Zhou, she suffered greatly from demonic beasts.
And three days ago, she had finally managed to severely injure that level-nine demonic beast.
The demon beast fled in a panic. In order to completely eliminate the demon disaster, Gu Xiyu brought a few capable subordinates to chase after it.
He chased all the way to the Cang Mountains and lost track of the demon beasts.
"Director, that demon beast must be hiding in this Cang Mountain. As long as we find it and destroy it this time, it will be a great merit.”
The captain beside him sounded excited.
Suddenly, a strange laugh rang out in the mountains.
"Gu Xiyu, it's not easy to trick you.”
A dense crowd of figures appeared. A figure covered in a black robe appeared on the mountain path. The demonic beast that was seriously injured by Gu Xiyu was actually following beside him.
"Who are you?"
Gu Xiyu looked vigilant and realized that she had been tricked.
"Do you know what this is?"
A strange-looking weapon appeared in the black-robed man's hand.
It was like a saber, but not a saber, like a sword, but not a sword. It was completely black.
The surface of the weapon was filled with potholes, giving off a very ugly feeling.
However, Gu Xiyu's expression changed.
"Meteor Fire Sword?"
As the secretary of the Demon Slayer Division, Gu Xiyu was very familiar with the history of demons.
Among the first batch of demons, there was a demon master who used a sword forged from meteorites. His strength was extremely terrifying.
Later on, when martial artists rose up, many demons were killed.
Some demons had completely disappeared before the eyes of the world. No one knew if they were dead or alive. Mara was one of them.
The owner of the Meteor Fire Sword was one of them.
"You are Demon Lord Yan Huai?"
Gu Xiyu looked at him warily, a sense of danger rising in her heart.
A Demon Master who had survived until now 300 years ago must be very powerful.
If they were in Chu Prefecture City, Gu Xiyu could still block them with the help of the Purple Lightning Cannon. However, in this barren mountain, without the Purple Lightning Cannon's support, Gu Xiyu was only a Rank-8 martial artist. She was definitely not the opponent's match.
"I didn't expect that someone would still remember my name.”
Yan Huai smiled.
"Yan Huai, it's already the world of the Nine Provinces Alliance now. A demon like you can't cause any big waves.? I advise you to stop so that you don't anger the Alliance and attract disaster.”
Gu Xiyu said coldly.
She tried to use the Nine Provinces Alliance to make the other party retreat.
"Do you think that I will let you off easily if I try my best to lure you out?”
"The Nine Provinces Alliance is indeed very powerful, but recently, strange things have been happening in the Chu Region. That's because the next wave of energy is about to arrive.”
"At that time, there will be a large number of demons and devils. This world will ultimately be the world of demons and devils.”
As soon as Yan Huai finished speaking, Gu Xiyu and the others 'expressions turned even uglier.
The energy tide three hundred years ago had created countless demons overnight, and it had almost become a world dominated by demons.
Later, when the energy tide passed, although there were some mutated demons, they were all within a controllable range.
However, if the tide came again, the world would definitely be in chaos.
"This time, I lured you out and used you as bait. Then, I lured the people from the Demon Suppression Division and the Guard Battalion out. Then, I could easily take over the Chu Prefecture. When the energy tide arrives, everyone in the Chu Prefecture City will turn into demons.”
"At that time, I will have an army of millions of demons in my hands, defeat the Nine Provinces Alliance, and become the true ruler of the world.”
Yan Huai laughed.
"Alright, I'll take you down first. You'd better not resist, or else don't blame me for being ruthless.”
With Yan Huai's order, the demons around them rushed towards Gu Xiyu and the others.
At first, Gu Xiyu could still block it, but with a wave of Yan Huai's hand, the level-nine demonic beast rushed out.
Soon, Gu Xiyu and the others were captured.
After Yan Huai captured Gu Xiyu and the others, he brought them to a cave.
There was actually an underground world at the bottom of the Cang Mountain. It was Yan Huai's base camp.
"Gu Xiyu, I've checked your information. You're indeed a very capable person. A few of my juniors actually failed to attack Qingzhou. Tell me, what does that traitor look like?”
The other party sat down on the main seat.
Gu Xiyu refused to cooperate at first, but as long as Gu Xiyu did not speak, the other party would kill one of her subordinates.
In the end, Gu Xiyu could only tell him everything that happened in Qingzhou.
"A demon that can control flames is equivalent to the peak of the ninth rank…"
Yan Huai frowned and then sneered.
"So what if he's at the peak of the ninth rank? As long as one did not break through to level 10, they would not be able to use the power of heaven and earth. It was nothing.”
"Could it be that you've already broken through the tenth rank?"
Gu Xiyu could not help but ask.
"Haha! Although I haven't broken through to rank 10, I will soon.”
"When the second energy wave arrives, as long as I occupy the Chu Prefecture City, I will be the first to enjoy the grace of the energy wave.”
"At that time, I can successfully advance to rank 10.”
"Chu Zhou will definitely be mine.”
……
Qingzhou, in a villa in the suburbs.
Chen Xuan was lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard and opening a book.
This was the confidential information that Chen Xuan had taken away when he left the Demon Slayer Department the last time.
It recorded the birth of demons 300 years ago.
"Year 2122 of the Nine State Calendar. The sun in the sky was suddenly covered, and the world fell into darkness for a full seven days.”
" Seven days later, the energy tide erupted, and the first batch of demons was born. They harmed humans to gain strength and grow rapidly. The world entered the Dark Age…"
"Ten years later, humans will receive energy and cultivate martial arts. Warriors will rise and fight the demons.”
"In the end, he defeated the demons and established the Nine Provinces Alliance to govern the world.”
"Among them, five of the seven demon leaders died. One escaped with his divine soul and was called Mo Luo. The other escaped with serious injuries and was called Yan Huai…"
"Energy tide?"
Chen Xuan fell into deep thought.
The so-called energy tide should be the large influx of mysterious energy from the nine heavens into the Nine Provinces.
According to the records, there were many types of energy. Some energy could cause the human body to mutate, and they were demons.
And some energy would only remain on the same foundation of the human body and improve the physique. That was a martial artist.
Regardless of whether they were fiendish demons or martial artists, they were essentially the same.
After reading the information, Chen Xuan had a clearer understanding of this world.
At this moment, Jiang Qing walked in from outside.
"Master, the blood food has been used up recently. Do you want to buy a few more wild beasts from the livestock market?”
Although absorbing the Power of Vitality could no longer increase Chen Xuan's strength, his daily consumption still needed to be replenished.
Coupled with Jiang Qing, the demon, Chen Xuan's daily expenses were very high.
Fortunately, when he entered the Monster-Slaying Department last time, he also took away a lot of property. Otherwise, Chen Xuan, this demon, could only go out and rob.
"Go buy it. Remember to be careful and don't expose your identity. If you encounter danger, release the signal flare I gave you.”
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
Jiang Qing was already a level-one demon. Chen Xuan used beast skin to make a mask for her that could cover the demonic aura on her body.
As long as she didn't go through the trials, even if the members of the Demon Slayers were to face her, they wouldn't be able to discover that she was a demon.
After Jiang Qing left, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa and casually turned on the television.
He was busy cultivating every day and had not understood the current situation in the world for a long time.
However, as soon as he turned on the television, he saw the news about Chu Zhou.
" The latest news: Chu Prefecture's Demon Slayer Division's Secretary Gu Xiyu fell into a demon's trap when she went out to chase after demon beasts. The other party used Gu Xiyu as a bait to lure the Guard Battalion Commander to rescue her. Now, the Guard Battalion Commander has also been killed.”
"The demons have announced that they will attack Chu Prefecture City before nightfall. If the people in the city don't open the city gates, they will kill Gu Xiyu and sacrifice her to the flag.”
" Secretary Gu Xiyu's younger sister, Gu Xixue, was mentally injured because she was worried about her elder sister. She fainted on the spot and has now woken up. However, her condition is very bad..."
In the video, Gu Xixue was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and bloodless.
Her eyes were red as she muttered to herself," Who can save my sister? Who can save my sister…"
