Chapter 313 Demonic Traces and Invitation

"Fellow Taoist, have you come to Chudu to take up your post?"

Chu Mu didn't answer, but asked instead.

"The head of Chudu Law Enforcement Hall."

Xu Changqing did not deny it and nodded.

Chu Mu glanced at the badge on Xu Changqing's waist and understood.

"Chudu may be uneasy recently. If you have nothing important to do, fellow Taoist, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

Before Chu Mu could say anything, Xu Changqing said another sentence very seriously.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, and the guess in his heart almost became a certainty after this sentence.

In the land of Chu Capital, even if we do not count the symbolic significance of the capital city of Chu, how could the inner city of the third-level spiritual veins and the location of the hinterland of Chu be allowed to be... not peaceful?

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu didn't bother to think too much. No matter what, if the sky fell, there would be tall people holding it up.

Chudu is not too far away from the Changsheng Mountains.

If there is any change, Xu Changqing can't solve it, and there is Jindan Zhenren of the Changsheng Sect. If Jindan Zhenren can't solve it, then there is the superior Nascent Soul Power.

It has little to do with him, who is still wanted by the Changsheng Sect.

"What I said to my fellow Taoist last time, has the fellow Taoist thought about it?"

At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly changed the topic and looked at Chu Mu and asked.

"Fellow Taoist Chu understands his intention, but Chu is used to being carefree and can't bear to be restrained."

Chu Mu decisively refused, feeling a little wary.

"What a pity..."

Xu Changqing shook his head and sighed softly, and was about to say something, but then, as if he noticed something, his eyes suddenly became sharp like a sword.

The next second, only a sword sound was heard, the sword light flashed across the sky, and Xu Changqing disappeared.

"I have something important to do. Please excuse me. Fellow Taoist, please consider my suggestion."

At this time, the sound transmission order in his arms suddenly shook, and Xu Changqing's voice also came out of the sound transmission order.

Chu Mu played with the voice transmission order in his hand, his eyes dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Immediately, he looked at the shop behind him, pondered for a while, then walked into the shop again, urging the shopkeeper, and only walked out of the shop again after receiving a guarantee that he would get it together within two days.

This time, he did not stay in the inner city, but went straight to the outer city and found a secular inn to stay temporarily.

With Xu Changqing's reminder and some of his own guesses, he naturally would not put himself in danger again.

Even if he only stayed for two days.

Living in the outer city, if there is any accident, it is unlikely to be affected.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and everything is still calm in Chu Capital, and nothing unusual seems to have happened.

Chu Mu didn't bother to explore what happened in it, and just ignored it as it was none of his business.

After arriving at the agreed-upon store in the inner city and getting the purchased elixir, he headed straight out of the city without stopping at all and without contacting Xu Changqing.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

Just as they arrived at the gate of the outer city, a voice came from afar, but it also made Chu Mu stop.

Turning around and looking, a sword light flashed in the sky, and in just an instant, Xu Changqing had fallen from the sky.

The blade of the sword flowed and was submerged into the scabbard. Xu Changqing landed on the ground and came quickly.

When Chu Mu was alert, he was also a little confused.

When we met that day, Xu Changqing, as the leader of the Chudu Law Enforcement Hall, turned a blind eye to the fact that he was wanted by the Changsheng Sect. Now that he was about to leave, he suddenly followed him. What happened?

He asked tentatively: "Fellow Taoist is here in a hurry, but what's the important matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changqing got straight to the point: "Xu has something to do, and I hope fellow Taoists can help me."

Chu Mu frowned. His relationship with Xu Changqing should not be as good as this...

Before Chu Mu could refuse, Xu Changqing immediately added:

"If fellow Taoist is willing to help Xu, Xu can report it to the sect and withdraw the wanted order against you, fellow Taoist."

Chu Mu was silent and swallowed back the words of rejection that were on his lips.

Although he is not afraid of the wanted orders from the Changsheng Sect, they always attract a lot of flies to stare at him, which is really troublesome.

After several years of foundation building, almost all of his fights with others were due to the wanted order from the Changsheng Sect.

In this world of immortality, the most indispensable thing is those who are driven by the desire for profit.

The Changsheng Sect's repeated arrest warrants for him are indeed very interesting.

If he remembered correctly, by now, the Changsheng Sect's wanted reward for him has been increased to 30,000 yuan for his longevity contribution and a top-quality spiritual weapon.

Such a reward, if he hadn't been so tyrannical, he would have had his soul extracted and his blood refined while he was in Jingmen.

It would be a good thing if it could be removed.

After all, anything is possible.

For example, after the Jingmen Incident, he almost escaped death, only to be surrounded and killed by several of his colleagues from the Righteous Alliance.

The reason is because of the wanted order from the Changsheng Sect.

After a moment, Chu Mu slowly said: "What is the matter that fellow Taoist said?"

"This is not the place for detailed discussions."

Xu Changqing glanced around and pointed to the secular restaurant on the side: "Fellow Taoist, follow me."

Chu Mu nodded and followed closely.

Sitting down in a booth of the restaurant, Xu Changqing cast out a few rays of light, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world was instantly isolated.

The two sat opposite each other, Xu Changqing's face looked slightly solemn.

"I hope fellow Taoists will keep this matter confidential."

"Can."

Chu Mu nodded, and under Xu Changqing's gaze, he made an oath of Taoism.

After the oath was made, Xu Changqing spoke again: "Do you know, fellow Taoist... demon?"

"magic?"

Chu Mu was surprised and almost subconsciously thought of the raging black fog and the endless silence in the East Lake Secret Realm!

And...

The chaos and evil he felt on the street that day.

"What is a demon?"

Chu Mu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Changqing raised his hand and a wisp of black mist floated on the table.

"This is the devil's energy, the source of the devil's cultivation."

He looked solemn: "The devil's energy is different from the gentleness of the spiritual energy. It is extremely chaotic and evil. It can not only corrode people's minds, but also distort their minds, infinitely magnify evil thoughts, and erase good thoughts."

"Moreover, the devil's energy also has a very strong corrosive nature. If such a trace of spiritual energy is left alone, it can almost corrode dozens of degrees of spiritual energy and turn it into a restricted area!"

"In such an environment, there must be no vitality, no grass, and mortals who enter it will turn into devil corpses. If a cultivator enters it, even if he is in the foundation-building stage, he will be distorted and fall into the devil's way if he is not careful."

Chu Mu sensed this trace of "demon's energy", and the familiar chaos and evil were also clearly reflected in his perception.

But...

This trace of demonic energy seems to be... different from the few groups of demonic energy he left?

Chu Mu was puzzled. After careful perception, the difference seemed very obvious.

If we use a metaphor, this wisp of demonic energy is like an existence diluted countless times, and the few black mists he left behind are... condensed and concentrated... essence!

Recalling the space crack that has existed for countless years, that dead and desolate world, Chu Mu was thoughtful.

Chu Mu asked: "You mean, there are demons... demon cultivators in the capital of Chu?"

"Yes."

Xu Changqing nodded affirmatively, his face was extremely gloomy.

"The demonic energy is terrifying and evil, and the demonic path is the mortal enemy of the immortal path!"

"The immortal cultivation world has long had a consensus that those who cultivate demons should be killed by everyone!"

"This time, I received the sect's order and went to Chudu to take up my post. I also discovered the traces of demons by accident."

"After many investigations, the clues have already emerged. Xu has reported to the sect, and the sect has also had a Jindan senior stationed in Chudu to prevent accidents."

Chu Mu asked: "Then... what does Daoyou need Chu to do?"

Xu Changqing asked: "Daoyou, are you practicing the most yang and most rigid method?"

Chu Mu nodded and did not deny it.

This is not difficult to detect. His magic power is the clearest manifestation. In addition to the sharpness of the sword, it is the burning heat of the most yang and most rigid.

Xu Changqing had fought with him before, so it was impossible for him not to notice it.

"The most yang and the most rigid are the biggest enemies of the evil spirits, and their perception of the evil spirits must be extremely sharp."

"Fellow Daoist, you are also a master of refining. I have prepared several recipes for detecting the evil spirits. When combined with your method of the most yang and the most rigid, it must be even more powerful..."

Xu Changqing was delighted and couldn't wait to speak.

Chu Mu hesitated, until Xu Changqing finished speaking and looked at him expectantly, he slowly said: "Fellow Daoist, do you mean that you need Chu to help you track down the demon cultivators, or even fight against them?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are only responsible for tracking down, and Xu will handle the rest. If Xu can't handle it, there is also Senior Jindan of my sect..."

Chu Mu was silent, clasped his hands together, and looked thoughtful.

The matter is not complicated.

According to what Xu Changqing said just now, it should be that after he came to Chudu to take charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, he discovered the traces of the demon cultivators, and then he must have discovered some terrifying clues, which led to the arrival of Jindan Zhenren.

Otherwise, if it was just an ordinary demon cultivator, with Xu Changqing's cultivation, even if he was in the late stage of foundation building, or even perfect...

In this Chu capital city, with the help of the great formation, Xu Changqing could not invite Jindan Zhenren to take charge before the matter was investigated clearly.

In other words, there might be some kind of horror beyond the foundation building stage in this Chu capital city.

And this horror also involves the life and death enemy of the cultivators... demons!

He didn't know whether the existence of demons was terrifying or not.

But the black fog energy was terrifying, very terrifying!

Just eroding the spiritual energy and changing the nature of the spiritual energy was a great terror that was enough to make the cultivation civilization extinct!

In this Chu capital city, such a great terror has already appeared.

Xu Changqing... invited him to help and wanted to pull him into this great terror...

How to choose is undoubtedly very clear.

Finally, Chu Mu slowly shook his head in Xu Changqing's expectant eyes.

But this time, before Chu Mu could finish his words, Xu Changqing seemed to sense his refusal and immediately added: "Fellow Daoist, help me to cancel the wanted order. In addition, I can recommend you to enter our sect's Sutra Library once. You can take any two volumes of the secret manuals and techniques stored in the Sutra Library, except for the true methods of our sect."
