I was held captive by demons

Wrapped by the resentment and death energy of more than a dozen powerful demons, this sword looked dark and frightening.

No one would have guessed that this was once the divine sword of a city god.

Putting the Lingling Sword in his dantian, Kong Ning pushed open the door and walked out.

When the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

There are only six days left until Lord Weichuan returns to Hejian Mansion.

Six days later, how can he prevent that dragon from taking Liu Ruxue away?

Looking at Liu Ruxue and Caiwei who were happy to see him leave the customs in the yard, Kong Ning sighed slightly in his heart.

The Spirit-swallowing Magic Jar in his body had already accumulated enough blood-colored mist.

As long as he activates the seeking ability of this magic pot again, he can go to kill the demon tonight.

It's just that even if he can kill a monster in the primordial spirit state tonight and improve his morality, it seems that it will be difficult to match the Weichuan Lord who has more than 800 years of morality.

After all, Kong Ning, who has just entered the Yuanshen Realm, only has 500 years of Taoism.

The gap between the two sides is slightly larger.

And after four days of retreat, I don't know what's going on in the city...

"Don't wait for me to eat tonight, I'm going out for a while."

After chatting with Caiwei and Liu Ruxue, after confirming that everything was normal these few days, Kong Ning walked out of the yard and headed out of Tongming Lane.

Upstairs on the Wangjiang tower were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect sealed off from top to bottom.

Kong Ning hid in the dark and silently walked up to the building built on the city wall.

In the banquet hall on the third floor, I saw the demon girl who looked like Su Yan.

The setting sun in the sky has already set behind the mountains.

Night gradually fell.

The demon girl leaned against the window, flipping through the book in her hand by the last rays of the setting sun.

Seeing Kong Ning appearing, the witch smiled slightly.

"Congratulations, husband, you have successfully broken through."

"From now on, my husband will be a cultivator in the Yuanshen realm, condensing the spirit of Yin and breaking away from the common world."

"In the future, the world will be vast, and I will let my husband roam about it."

The witch smiled and congratulated, while closing the book in her hand.

And the table of delicacies in this banquet hall was all prepared in advance for Kong Ning, it was a celebration banquet.

It seems that this witch has long known that Kong Ning will break through today.

Kong Ning was not surprised by this.

After he pulled out a chair and sat down, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating without any politeness.

Said: "Your magic talisman really has another magical effect. It seems that with the magic talisman on your body, you know all about my situation."

The witch who put away the book in her hand smiled slightly and did not refute.

She smiled and said, "Don't my husband know it well? Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Wangjiang Tower directly after breaking through the level... Obviously, I didn't send any invitations. But my husband has already met Yan'er, and I have The tacit understanding between husband and wife...hehe...is this the so-called tacit understanding?"

The witch smiled and sat beside Kong Ning.

While eating, Kong Ning said, "Since there is a tacit understanding, do you know what I'm going to ask next?"

The demon girl smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't my husband just concerned about the movements of the demons in Hejian Mansion during these four days?"

"Of course, Yan'er has been keeping an eye on it for my husband. The movements of the four great evil caves are not surprising, and they are all in my husband's calculations."

"It's just that there is an important news, but I have to tell my husband."

"Our Hejian Mansion seems to have an unexpected visitor..."

The witch's words caused Kong Ning's movements to pause slightly.

Then he said: "What kind of uncommon guest?"

The demon girl smiled and said, "This uninvited guest is from the capital."

"But husband, don't worry about it for the time being. Yan'er can deal with that guy. Yan'er's cultivation should be barely able to handle it."

Kong Ning was slightly surprised: "A thousand-year-old demon who is tired of living in the environment? From the capital?"

Sure enough, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also a scene of demons dancing wildly.

And it may be even more dangerous than the situation here in Hejian Mansion...

Chapter 173 Husband's Reward

Although the demon girl didn't say clearly about the cultivation level of the unexpected guest, she said that she could barely handle it.

This means that the strength of the uninvited guest is likely to be higher than hers.

This must be a thousand-year-old demon who is tired of living in the environment.

Kong Ning frowned and asked: "What is the old demon who is tired of living in Hejian Mansion doing?"

Kong Ning looked at Su Yan in front of him.

The demon girl smiled slightly, and said, "Does my husband want to know? It's actually very simple. There is something in this Hejian mansion that attracted that thousand-year-old demon."

"In other words, it attracted those old things in the capital."

Under Kong Ning's gaze, it was rare for this enchantress not to show off, and she talked directly.

"In the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a group of old monsters gathered for many years, all of whom are above the level of dreadful living."

"Because it is said that a fairy corpse was buried under the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Well, the real immortals are not the so-called living immortals in the Zifu Realm. They are real immortals who can live forever and live as long as the heavens."

The witch smiled and said, "All the monsters are longing for the corpse of the real fairy, and they have spent more than 20 years there."

"As for the Hejian Mansion, the situation is actually similar."

"My husband, don't you think it's strange why a small remote city can attract so many monsters?"

"The four great evil caves are all powerful forces that can dominate one side, so why do they have to gather in a small Hejian Mansion to plan food?"

"For example, Lord Guangyun, the god of the river, the entire upper and lower reaches of the Shaoxian River are under his jurisdiction. Where the river passes, there are so many cities, and there are several more prosperous cities than the Hejian Mansion."

"But he just has a soft spot for the Hejian Prefecture in the upper reaches..."

The demon girl smiled and said, "It is precisely because there is a certain big secret in Hejian Mansion that attracts this group of demons."

"Although it's not as shocking as the corpse of the fairy underground in the capital, it's still attractive enough."

"However, there are not many people who know this secret. I can be sure that in the entire Hejian Mansion, only the demon kings of the Four Great Demon Caves and one or two of his subordinates may know."

"As for how that old man from the capital knew, I don't know much about it."

"But I can be sure that the old man came to Hejian Mansion most likely because of the hidden secrets of Hejian Mansion, and he definitely didn't come here to hang out."

After the witch finished speaking, Kong Ning looked at her and asked, "So you stayed in Hejian Mansion because of this big secret?"

Regarding this, the demon girl shook her head, and said, "My husband misunderstood me this time. The concubine stayed in Hejian Mansion not because of that big secret."

"The reason why I stay in Hejian Mansion is to protect the mortals here."

Speaking of this, the witch couldn't help laughing: "The concubine is serious. If it weren't for the concubine's check and balance, the mortals in Hejian Mansion would be able to live a carefree life like this?"

"There are so many monsters in the Hejian Mansion, but they never show their holiness in front of people, let alone plunder the blood of mortals. It all depends on the yamen to bring all kinds of condemned prisoners to confession..."

"The mortals who die at the hands of demons every year are not as many as mortals who kill each other."

"These are all thanks to my concubine."

The witch said proudly: "At least in this Hejian Mansion, the concubine has really managed to protect the environment and the people, and protect the peace of the people in the whole city."

"But it's not worth bragging about, because the concubine is the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus."

"As the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus, it is the destiny of heaven to protect innocent mortals."

The demon girl smiled and said: "So husband, do you know how much you misunderstood the concubine's body?"

"Your wife is not a bad person, but a good person through and through."

The witch said, very proud.

Kong Ning frowned at her, somewhat disbelieving.

"You stayed in Hejian Mansion to protect the safety of this place?"

The demon girl blinked her eyes pitifully: "Don't you believe me..."

"..." Kong Ning was slightly silent and changed the subject.

"Since you said that there is a big secret in Hejian Mansion...then what is this secret? Can you tell me?" Kong Ning asked.

The demon girl rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "Of course my husband wants to know, it's okay. But... such a big secret, I told it myself, I don't know if there is any reward?"

Kong Ning looked at her: "What reward do you want?"

Under the bright candlelight, the seductive girl in Tsing Yi licked her lips and said, "It all depends on the sincerity of your husband..."

Kong Ning paused, then smiled slightly: "My sincerity is naturally sufficient!"

In the banquet hall, a woman's surprised voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah! Husband, this is not what this concubine said..."

Immediately afterwards, there were the sounds of chairs shaking and clothes being torn.

There was also the soft low cry of the woman.

"Husband..."

Outside the house, the gust of wind howled again, beating the world.

Among the mountains, the peony that had been dry for many days ushered in the torrential rain again.

The patter of rainwater is flowing in the gullies in the mountains.

The mountains, which have been dry for many days and have not been moistened, will receive rain again tonight, just like rain after a long drought.

Standing stubbornly in the rain, the peony keeps trembling in the wind and rain, and seems to be delighted by the arrival of the rain.

A gust of wind after another slapped the delicate flower branches.

The petals fluttering against the wind are covered with wet rain, making them more delicate and pink.

Incomparably thick lightning flashed continuously in the night sky.

One after another, piercing the sky and the earth.The huge roar and the unstoppable powerful tremor were conveyed to the heaven and the earth.

The entire mountains trembled amidst the constant roar of thunder and lightning, as if they were about to be torn apart.

The rain is getting heavier.

The peony in the mountain stood stubbornly against the violent wind and rain, but it looked more and more delicate and lovely...

……

…………

In the middle of the night, at midnight, Kong Ning, who had changed into new clothes, walked out of the Wangjiang Tower openly.

Go down the stairs and into the city.

On the moonless street, there are no figures.

In his mind, he thought back to what the demon girl said just now.

The witch, who was lazily lying in his arms, said lazily: "30 years ago, here in Hejian Mansion, there was a treasured fairy mountain called Lingruo Temple."

"The temple is hidden in the mountains, the incense is bleak, and there are few believers. Even the local residents of Hejian Prefecture, few people know the existence of the temple."

"But in the temple, there are supreme practitioners."

"Legends say that Lingruo Temple has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and there are Buddha's gatha in the temple, which is mysterious and inexplicable."

"Although it is not well-known in the practice world, and few people know it in the mortal world, this Lingruo Temple is a hidden sect that is deeply hidden in the land of Shenzhou."
