Mao Xin laughed loudly and said, "I'll leave this place to you. You must take good care of this shop."

"Shopkeeper Mao, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave for the time being."

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded.

The shopkeeper of the Xianghe pawnshop heard this, and turned his head to look, only to see that it was a middle-aged man dressed in blue, with a jade plaque hanging on his waist, and a vivid blue dragon was depicted on the jade plaque.

Qinglong seat.

He has been in Dongluoguan for many years, so he naturally knows what this jade tablet represents.

As one of the four demon sects, the Qinglong seat is the guard of the demon sect's leader, and is in charge of the demon sect's criminal law, rewards and punishments.

The person in front of him is none other than Zhu Cheng, a master of the first character in the Azure Dragon Seat, whose cultivation base is in the realm of the third rank.

"Master Zhu, what kind of wind brought you here today."

Mao Xin smiled, took out an ingot of gold from his bosom, and calmly came to the master of the Azure Dragon Seat, and said with a low laugh: "Small care is not respect, after I leave, I have to take care of you." Harmony is one or two."

On weekdays, he often spends money to manage relationships, thinking that the appearance of the person in front of the Azure Dragon is just to seek benefits.

He was about to leave anyway, and the shopkeeper of the Xianghe pawnshop was extremely generous.

Zhu Cheng weighed the gold in his hands, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe shopkeeper Mao didn't hear what I said clearly just now, you can't leave today."

Mao Xin was shocked, but said calmly, "Oh? This is..."

Zhu Cheng said lightly: "We want to see you first."

Mao Xin was a little surprised, and asked, "Why does the Lord Chief want to see me all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, Zhu is just following orders, please."

With that said, Zhu Cheng made a gesture of invitation.

"Since the chief seat wants to see me, it seems that I can't go if I don't go."

Mao Xin nodded slightly, and followed Zhu Cheng towards Qinglong Hall.

In Dongluoguan, the Demon Cult is the sky.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared in Mao Xin's eyes, and a sharp knife appeared on his cuff, stabbing at Zhu Cheng's throat.

The speed of this sharp blade is extremely fast and undetectable.

"clang!"

Just as he was about to stab Zhu Cheng's throat, a long knife blocked the short sword.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Cheng's mouth, "The shopkeeper is hiding something, he is actually a master of the third-rank realm."

run!

Mao Xin only felt a chill rushing straight to the top of his head, and he went crazy and rushed to the distance.

"court death!"

Zhu Cheng waved the long knife in his hand, and a long and narrow black knife aura pierced through it.

"taste!"

The light of the knife hit Mao Xin's back directly, tearing his skin apart. Mao Xin fell heavily on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat, unable to utter a word.

He stretched out his palm and kept crawling towards the outside of Dongluo Pass.

As long as he left this East Luoguan, he would be safe, and he could be reunited with his family.

But he couldn't get out of this distance, which was obviously close at hand.

Whoa!

This scene happened very quickly, and there was an uproar on the street, and the workers in the Xianghe pawn shop were all stunned and did not recover.

Zhu Cheng said indifferently: "The Xianghe pawn shop is closed, and Mao Xin escorts me back."

Zhuquefang, Tongzi Lane.

As usual, Lu He finished sorting out the roster and headed home.

He was originally a Jinshi in the 17th year of Taiping in Yan State. After the scientific examination, because he did not give gifts to the officials of the official department of the dynasty, he was finally assigned to a remote area as a small official.

Lu He was very resentful at first, but soon bowed his head and resigned to his fate, and followed the crowd to accept bribes and collect a lot of money. However, because the relationship with the higher-ups was not handled well, the incident came out within two years of working.

At that time, Emperor Taiping promulgated the law, and corruption of ink was a felony. According to the amount of his corruption of ink, even ten heads would not be enough to chop off. In desperation, he had to escape from the country of Yan and came to Dongluoguan.

After all, he was a Jinshi back then, and he still had some pen and ink in his belly. He was soon discovered by the Demon Cult and absorbed into the Suzaku Seat. Over the past few decades, he did have some credit. My concubine lives comfortably, and is naturally loyal to the Demon Cult. Now her position is getting higher and higher, and she is Mu Xiaoyun's most capable assistant.

Lu He murmured to himself, "Now that the relationship between Waitian and Yan Kingdom has eased today, next year we can go back to Yan Country to see our old mother."

Others don't know, but he is very clear, Hou Jin's menacing attack this time, the hope of the Demon Cult to defend Dongluoguan is really too slim, the only chance is to retreat to the territory of Yan Kingdom.

Let these two behemoths confront each other head-on, and return to the Yan Guojiao, where they can continue to work for the Demon Cult, and it will be safer.

The next moment, a cold light hit from a distance.

Although Lu He is a scholar, he doesn't know a little about martial arts, and he also has a fourth-rank cultivation base, so he avoided this raging cold arrow with his instinct.

"Buzz!"

That cold arrow slammed into the ground, shaking constantly, showing a terrifying strength.

"Who!?"

Lu He felt a chill in his heart, and shouted: "Sneaky rats come out!"

"kill him!"

A low shout sounded, and the two men in black that I saw rushed out from all directions to land and kill.

Lu He swept away, and was suddenly shocked that the cultivation base of these two people was actually higher than his.

"Come on!"

Lu He didn't think much, and fled frantically into the distance.

The two of them jumped up and quickly chased after them. The movements in their hands were as fast as lightning. When they were about to hit Lu He, a long sword blocked their way.

"not good!"

The two killers felt a chill in their hearts, and it was too late to back off.

"Puff puff!"

The moment the long sword fell, a storm of sword energy formed around them, and the two of them instantly turned into blood foam and sprinkled in the alley.

Lu He was panting heavily at this moment, looking forward.

A man with a sword appeared at the end of the alley.

"Yi Shouzuo!?"

Lu He was a little stunned, and then suddenly came back to his senses, "Don't you need to keep alive? From my point of view, these people are obviously premeditated."

Yi Daoyun said calmly: "These are all dead men from the Suoming Mansion, and the leader ordered them all to be killed."

"Suoming Mansion..."

Lu He murmured to himself, trembling in his heart.

I didn't expect that the masters of Suomingfu had already poured into Dongluoguan, this is too courageous, I don't know if there are any top experts of Suomingfu in Dongluoguan, and judging from the behavior of Suomingfu, this Houjin Dajun is coming soon...

And this bloody scene continued to be staged in Dongluoguan. Hou Jin's spies were arrested by the masters of the Qinglong seat one by one, and the masters of Suoming Mansion were also intercepted and killed by the masters of the White Tiger seat, leaving no one alive.

This is the Demon Cult's response to Hou Jin.

Dongluo Garden, inside the hall.

An Jing, Zhao Qingmei, Yu Qiurong, Duanmu Xinghua, and Mu Xiaoyun sat in the hall.

The other masters of the Demon Cult also have their own families, only Duanmu Xinghua, Mu Xiaoyun, and Yi Daoyun are truly alone, so Zhao Qingmei invited them to celebrate the New Year.

Mu Xiaoyun was reporting the Demon Cult's revenue this year. Compared with last year, the overall revenue this year tends to decline. On the one hand, there are post-gold sanctions, and the casualties of the Black Armor Army require high compensation. Other miscellaneous expenses,

Fortunately, the Demon Cult can now spread teachings in the country of Yan. This will not only allow the Demon Cult to continuously absorb new blood, but also allow the Demon Cult to achieve a certain balance in its financial power.

After Mu Xiaoyun finished speaking, Duanmu Xinghua began to report.

The strength of the Demon Cult has also been severely damaged this year. Firstly, Dizong Jiang Renyi and countless other masters of the Dizong were dispatched and beheaded, and then Yuan Feng rebelled.

However, the strength of the Devil's Cult has also expanded, for example, the addition of a top swordsman of the Great Sword Immortal and Ghost, and Jun Qinglin has also left the customs. Teaching is even stronger.

Zhao Qingmei thought for a moment and asked: "How many masters of the first and second ranks are there in the teaching?"

Duanmu Xinghua said: "There are 17 people in the first-rank realm, eight of them are first-rank human flowers, five are first-rank earth flowers, two are first-rank smallpox, and the rest are newcomers to first-rank realm, and there are 29 second-rank people. Most of the first and second ranks are masters of the Heavenly Sect, followed by the masters of the Earth Sect."

Zhao Qingmei frowned. This year was indeed turbulent. As a result, the Demon Cult lost several first-rank masters, and its overall strength showed a downward trend.

Moreover, the 6 Heijia Army was also severely damaged, and now there are only more than [-] barely including the reserve army. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Hou Jin's army, it is obviously stretched.

An Jing was eating peanuts on his own, looking at Mu Xiaoyun from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.

And Yu Qiurong had a panoramic view of An Jing's small movements, and frowned slightly.

"I also received a secret report in the afternoon."

Duanmu Xinghua thought of something, and said: "The old leader came out of the forbidden area of ​​the Xueshan tribe, and then disappeared. The exact whereabouts are unknown."

Jiang Shang is out! ?

An Jing and Zhao Qingmei looked at each other.

When Yu Qiurong heard this, she also frowned.

In her heart, Zhao Qingmei's enemies are her enemies.

Zhao Qingmei whispered: "Search with all my strength, I want to know his whereabouts."

As for her master, Zhao Qingmei knows his strength better than anyone else. Ye Ding, who was taught by Zhenyi, failed to defeat him. Later, Ye Ding was plotted against by Qi Xuandao, and his strength has not improved much, while Jiang Shang has been for decades. has been steadily improving.

Now his strength must be higher than that of Ye Ding, and Ye Ding's cultivation base of the four qi, Jiang Shang's cultivation has probably reached the peak of the four qi, and even approached the realm of the five qi, which is indeed a big challenge for An Jing and Zhao Qingmei. enemy.

"My subordinates know."

Duanmu Xinghua nodded, but felt a little disappointed.

What she is most worried about is the internal conflicts of the Demon Cult. If Jiang Shang can also return to the Demon Cult, how terrible will the Demon Cult be now?

But now it seems that the confrontation between the two parties is unavoidable, especially since Jiang Renyi's casualties are unknown.

In addition to the suspected traitors who appeared recently, it is hard to say whether it is Jiang Shang's previous hook. If so, will it be Lin Tianhai, Yi Daoyun or other masters?

Duanmu Xinghua suppressed the thoughts in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

Immediately afterwards, after chatting for a few more words, Zhao Qingmei took a deep breath, rubbed her temples, and said, "Okay, let's put the internal affairs aside for now.

Let us wait for the good news next. "

Mu Xiaoyun asked suspiciously: "Good news, what good news is it?"

"Soon, you will know."

Zhao Qingmei looked at Mu Xiaoyun, "During this time, you have worked hard, today is the end of the year and relax."

Suzaku is in charge of all operations, finances, and expenditures of the Devil's Cult. It can be said to be the busiest department in the Devil's Cult, and it is also the most important department.

Previously, Yu Qiurong was the first seat in the Suzaku seat, but later because of Mu Xiaoyun's great achievements, he gradually delegated power to Mu Xiaoyun.

Mu Xiaoyun said sincerely: "At the beginning, I thank the leader for accepting me. Mu Xiaoyun has always remembered it in my heart, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear that I will disappoint the leader's expectations."

"You can keep it in your heart, that's the best."

Zhao Qingmei looked into those eyes and said a meaningful sentence.

For some reason, when she was stared at by those eyes, all her thoughts seemed to be seen through in an instant, and she suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Master!"

At this moment, a master of the Azure Dragon Seat came in from outside the hall, "Here comes Chief Lin."

Zhao Qingmei nodded slightly, "Let him in."

Not long after, Lin Tianhai walked into the lobby. All the experienced masters were present, so he could naturally smell the blood in his body.

This made Duanmu Xinghua and Mu Xiaoyun frown secretly.

Lin Tianhai cupped his fists and said, "Master, all seven of Hou Jin's spies have been caught, and one of them can't stand the torture anymore. That Zhang Zihao is indeed a traitor, and the poisonous king is also his murderer. Now he is here In Tianshui City, Beiyuan, someone else killed Yudu, and it is said that he was also killed by people from my Demon Sect."

"Oh?"
