Chapter 267 Breakthrough, Level 5 Monster
"Another demon passage has appeared in our Huainan Prefecture!"
As soon as the words fell.
Everyone was stunned.
Qingyun Sect used all its strength to defend the Demon Sealing Valley.
If what Fu Shaoping said was true, even if the ten great families joined forces, they would not be able to block the entrance of the passage.
The Zhang family and the Xu family had seen monsters before. The two of them looked at each other, and the chief of the Xu family said:
"Sir, didn't the corpse-eating demon escape from the Demon Sealing Valley?"
"No, I went to Qingyun Sect specially, and the head of Qingyun Sect confirmed that the corpse-eating demon did not come out of the Demon Sealing Valley."
Fu Shaoping paused.
After everyone digested it, he continued:
"The purpose of gathering everyone here today is very simple. After you go back, you must mobilize the power of the clan and conduct a thorough and detailed investigation in your clan to see if there are any traces of monsters. Once found, report to me immediately."
"The demon passage is related to the life and death of our Huainan Prefecture. The sooner the demon passage is found, the better it is for us."
The heads of the eight major families took the order and left.
But Chief Fu was kept by Fu Shaoping:
"Chief, I will send someone to send a special magic mirror for identifying monsters back to the clan. After receiving it, it will be placed at the entrance and exit of the mountain gate. All clan members must be inspected when entering and leaving."
"Okay, Shaoping, if you think our clan needs to do something, just speak up."
After sending Chief Fu away.
Fu Shaoping asked Pi Xiu to ring the bell and drum in the institute, and nine drum sounds rang out.
In less than half a cup of tea, everyone in the institute, from the thousand households to the trainee Zhenwu guards, gathered in the martial arts hall. Fu Shaoping stood on the main podium, and there was silence below:
"Dear colleagues, I believe you also know that the original intention of our Zhenwu Division was to eliminate violence and protect the good, and to slay demons and demons. Now it is time to test our original intention. Once the demon passage is opened, a fierce battle is inevitable. During this period, everyone will stay in the institute. Once the ten major families send out a distress signal, we must rush there as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and the voice went straight through the sky.
Fu Shaoping raised his hand to suppress everyone, and after letting everyone calm down, he said:
"Everyone will be given a demon biological manual in a while. This note was written by Qingyunmen based on what they saw and heard during their thousands of years of guarding the Fengmo Valley. After everyone gets it, carefully study the characteristics of demon creatures and pay special attention to how to kill them."
This is the most practical.
Everyone was delighted.
Fu Shaoping asked Mo Qianhu to add a few words, and he returned to the secret room.
He glanced at the treasure mirror.
The first and second attribute points were still sufficient.
Fu Shaoping's mind moved.
He immediately said:
"Add some Tianming tea."
The two attribute points should be able to barely ripen the Tianming tea.
Buzz!
The treasure mirror trembled slightly, and yellow light surged.
A mysterious power was injected into the God and Demon Tree. Xiaomo's magic formula changed, and a stream of demonic power was injected into the Tianming tea. The Tianming tea tree continued to grow taller, and the medicinal age increased rapidly.
A strong tea fragrance came from the Tianming tea tree.
The first fate attribute points were exhausted.
The tea tree stopped growing.
However.
At this time, the Tianming tea tree was already an old tea tree, and the roots and stems looked like they had experienced vicissitudes.
A careful scan.
The Tianming tea was surprisingly 500 years old.
Fu Shaoping was delighted.
Immediately, he entered the chaotic space with a thought, and said to Xiaomo:
"Xiaomo, you have worked hard."
Although it was the Xuanming Treasure Mirror that added some points, Xiaomo was also exhausted at this time.
Fu Shaoping carefully picked the buds of the Tianming tea. Because it was only a five-hundred-year-old tree, there was only one qian of tea leaves. When he put it into the teapot, the original rich tea fragrance disappeared, and it became colorless and tasteless. It can be drunk and immediately turned into a magnificent medicinal power.
Fu Shaoping hurriedly sat cross-legged to meditate and refine.
There is no time in cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
Fu Shaoping, who was practicing in the secret room, suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura broke through from the first level of Yuandan Realm to the second level of Yuandan Realm. He glanced at the Tianming tea leaves placed aside. He had just broken through after taking one qian of tea leaves.
At the beginning, the medicinal power of Tianming tea leaves was still good.
But as the number of times it was taken increased, the body slowly developed drug resistance.
Even if new buds emerge from Tianming tea next year, it will not be of much use to him. However, Tianming tea leaves can be accumulated and given to Pan'er, Zimei and his descendants when they break through to the Yuandan realm:
"Half a year, I don't know if the ten major families have found the channel for the demons to invade."
A spell was cast on the formation, and ripples appeared in front of the secret room.
Buzz!
At this time, several communication talismans were floating in front of the door.
Stretch out your hand.
Voices came out from inside:
"Sir, a monster appeared again in the Zhang family's territory, and was successfully killed by the team led by Sir Mo"
"Sir, a second-level monster appeared in the Li family and was successfully killed"
"."
In the past six months.
The ten major families have all seen traces of monsters.
Fortunately, there are not many of them. They were either killed directly by the family or wiped out completely with the assistance of the Qianhu Office.
But.
There is no news about the monster channel among the many communication talismans.
Fu Shaoping glanced at the treasure book.
The second life number on the treasure book is still fifty:
"We can't delay any longer."
Since the ten great families and the Qianhu Office have failed to find the monster passage, we can only place our hopes on the Xuanming treasure book.
Take a deep breath.
With some trepidation.
Fu Shaoping immediately said:
"With the blessing of our ancestors, please guide Shaoping to find the entrance to the demon invasion."
The words just fell.
Baojian buzzed.
Yellow light surges.
The moon talisman between his eyebrows began to heat up.
After a while.
A mysterious force guided him to the west.
To the west is the land of the Cui family.
The last time the heads of the ten major families were summoned, Chief Cui was not in place.
Fu Shaoping frowned and hit the jade talisman with a spell:
"Brother Mo, please come to my cave."
Before retreat.
The general affairs of Qianhu Office were handed over to Mo Qianhu.
It was about half tea time.
Mo Qianhu rushed out from the back hall and saw that Fu Shaoping's aura had suddenly climbed to the second level of Yuan Dan. He couldn't help but feel envious. He had broken through to the Yuan Dan level earlier than Fu Shaoping, but he was still at the Yuan Dan level. On the first floor, he arched his hands and said:
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" "Well, sit down."
Fu Shaoping pointed to the seat next to him and asked after Mo Qianhu took his seat:
"Brother Mo, six months ago, I convened the heads of the ten major families to discuss matters. Chief Cui did not come. Did they give any excuses later?"
It turned out to be this.
Mo Qianhu felt relieved and replied:
"Sir, not long after you retreated into seclusion in the Cui family, Patriarch Cui personally came to apologize. He said that it was because he was in retreat and he didn't notice the signaling talisman lighting up. I think his cultivation level has indeed broken through to the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm. He didn’t ask any more questions.”
Fu Shaoping frowned.
The last time we met, Patriarch Cui was only at the second level of the Yuan Dan Realm. How long did he break through the second level in a row?
He couldn't do it even though he had the Qingmu spirit body, and according to the records about Chief Cui in the Intelligence Palace, the other party was not a person with outstanding cultivation talent. This matter was indeed a bit strange. With the guidance of the Xuanming Treasure Book, Fu Shaoping said:
"Brother Mo, has the Cui family done anything unusual in the past six months?"
Mo Qianhu thought about it for a moment, shook his head, but quickly nodded again:
"The spirit stones that the Cui family paid tribute last year were delayed until the final deadline. This year, they are very active. They took the initiative to pay tribute at the beginning of the year. The Cui family is the first among the top ten aristocratic families."
Put it this way.
The Cui family is indeed suspicious.
Fu Shaoping said:
"Brother Mo, come with me to Cui's house."
"good"
Mo Qianhu nodded.
The two set out from Qianhu Station and walked against the wind. In the evening, they arrived at the Cui Family Mountain Gate. Unlike other aristocratic families who came in and out, the Cui Family Mountain Gate was closed tightly and there was no one guarding the door.
Mo Qianhu whispered:
"Sir, this Cui family is really a bit suspicious."
In order not to alert others, the two of them came invisibly.
After walking around the Cui family's land, I found that the entire mountain protection formation was fully activated.
Mo Qianhu became more and more frightened as he watched:
"Sir, is this the Cui family?"
The words have not yet fallen.
But he saw the Cui family's mountain gate formation opening.
The Cui family's children came out of the door in twos and threes, and everything returned to normal.
Observed for a while.
Mo Qianhu scanned the passing Cui family disciples with his consciousness. There was nothing unusual, and he couldn't help but wonder:
"Sir, the Cui family seems to be more heavily guarded."
"Follow up and have a look."
Fu Shaoping pointed at Cui Mingyu, a disciple of the Cui family who was passing below them. He was only at the Earth Yuan realm.
When we reach no man's land.
Fu Shaoping dodged and struck Cui Mingyu on the neck with his palm. Cui Mingyu rolled his eyes and fainted immediately. Cui Mingyu straightened up as if he was possessed by a touch of his eyebrows.
Fu Shaoping said:
"Has anything strange happened to the Cui family recently?"
Cui Mingyu shook his head.
Fu Shaoping asked a few more questions.
Cui Mingyu shook his head.
Mo Qianhu on the side immediately said:
"Sir, let me come."
Mo Qianhu slightly bent his five fingers and grabbed the opponent's Tianling Cap. The next moment, Cui Mingyu started shaking as if he was electrocuted, with a look of pain on his face, as if he had been cast on a soul-searching technique.
After a while.
Mo Qianhu then took his hand away.
Ningmei said:
"Sir, Cui Mingyu remembers that the Cui family started martial law half a year ago. Strictly speaking, it was before you convened the meeting of the heads of the ten major families. Except for the fact that the patriarch showed up less frequently, there was nothing unusual about the Cui family from top to bottom. However, in In his impression, the senior members of the family seem to have improved a lot in their cultivation during this period. It seems that the Cui family must have foreseen the risks in advance, so they opened the treasure trove to allow the high-level combatants to advance in their cultivation."
Fu Shaoping thought exactly the opposite.
Seeing this, Mo Qianhu hesitated and said:
"If you are not at ease, sir, you might as well find a reason to summon Chief Cui to the Qianhu Office, and you will know after a try."
If there is really something fishy in the Cui family.
Summoning Patriarch Cui over would undoubtedly alert the enemy.
Fu Shaoping glanced at the Xuanming treasure mirror in the sea of consciousness. There were forty attribute points left in the treasure mirror, and he immediately thought:
"Blessed by our ancestors, please help Shaoping find the entrance to the demon invasion."
Buzz!
Yellow light surges in the treasure mirror.
The moon talisman between his eyebrows became hot.
Immediately afterwards.
A mysterious force points to the mountain behind the Cui family:
"As expected!"
Fu Shaoping's pupils shrank.
According to Cui Mingyu's memory, the monster invaded the Cui family half a year ago and has already taken control of the Cui family's senior officials. It is unknown what method the monster used, but it is obviously much smarter than the corpse-eating demon that invaded the Zhang family and the Xu family. Moreover, this demon channel is probably transporting demons continuously.
Take a deep breath.
Fu Shaoping immediately said:
"Brother Mo, please return to Qianhu Station first. Remember not to reveal what happened today to others."
After returning to the place.
Fu Shaoping immediately struck a magic spell into the jade talisman for communication. The jade talisman lit up with white light. He said a few words quickly, and then the aura of the jade talisman disappeared.
In the middle of the night.
The messenger jade charm on his waist buzzed with a rapid whistle, and Qingyunzi's voice came out:
"Shaoping, I'm right outside your cave."
The magic circle opens.
But Qingyunzi appeared in the cave without anyone noticing.
Fu Shaoping quickly closed the cave formation.
Qingyunzi was the first to speak:
"Shaoping, what urgent matter are you referring to?"
"Master, it is another demon passage. The disciple can be sure that it is in the Cui family."
Fu Shaoping immediately explained everything about the Cui family's anomalies.
Qingyunzi's pupils shrank:
"If it's really like what you said, I'm afraid there should be a fifth-level monster controlling everything in the Cui family."
Although ordinary fourth-level monsters are somewhat resourceful, they still act based on instinct. The Cui family's change lasted half a year. If it were a fourth-level monster, it would not be able to suppress its own nature for so long, and the other monsters that were transmitted could not be suppressed either.
Level 5 monster!
Fu Shaoping was shaken. Fortunately, he did not enter the Cui family land without authorization. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. The fifth-level monster is at the same level as Yuanying:
"Master, I will report it to the Zhenwu Division headquarters and ask them to send Nascent Soul monks to support."
The Qingyun Sect guards the Demon-Sealed Valley and has no obligation to take risks and fight against fifth-level monsters.
Qingyunzi thought for a while, nodded and said:
"That's fine, but you need your Suppression Division to act quickly. Otherwise, when the demon passage is completely stabilized and there are fifth-level monsters guarding it, it will be the second Demon Sealed Valley."
"Master, I understand."
Fu Shaoping immediately took out a golden jade talisman. After a series of spells were entered, the jade talisman buzzed and lit up.
Imperial capital.
Zhenwu Division Headquarters.
The commander of the meditation sent a rushing sound of wind from Shangguan Hong's waist.
Shangguan Hong opened his eyes and glanced at the jade talisman. It was golden in color. It came from Huainan. He murmured softly:
"Could it be that Qingyun Sect's Demon-Sealing Valley can no longer be defended?"
Fu Shaoping was the Deputy Qianhu and was not qualified to communicate with him directly. However, the Qianhu Office in Huainan Prefecture did not have Qianhu, and there was a possibility of monster invasion. Before he left, he gave Fu Shaoping a jade talisman for communication from thousands of miles away.
A spell was entered.
Fu Shaoping's voice came out:
"Sir, a second demonic invasion channel has appeared in Huainan Mansion, which is located in the Cui family. According to my analysis and that of the master, it is determined that the Cui family is guarded by at least a fifth-level monster. Sir, please wait until the demonic channel is stabilized. , support as soon as possible.”
