"The Demonic Sect!" Everyone exclaimed, and there was a lot of discussion.
In everyone's impression, the Demonic Sect seemed to be very far away from them. Legend had it that they were a group of cultivators who defied the laws of nature. In order to improve their cultivation, they would do anything. The demonic arts they practiced relied on directly sucking the blood of living people to strengthen themselves, and they also used the blood of martial artists to refine pills and medicines to improve their cultivation. They were a group of villains who were hated by humans and gods.
However, where there was light, there was darkness, and where there was good, there was evil. For hundreds of millions of years, the Demonic Sect gradually grew stronger in the battle with the righteous sects, and thus spread to every corner of the Ten Thousand Laws Continent. They even established their own big sects, and even controlled a large number of countries' population to fight against the righteous sects for a long time.
It was said that the Hou Yan Kingdom was adjacent to a country controlled by the Demonic Sect, the Luocha Kingdom. However, obviously, everyone had not seen what the Demonic Sect and Demonic Cultivators looked like, so it was normal to have some fear.
At this time, they heard Qian Hu say, "Why, are you afraid? If you were afraid, then don't accept this mission! Now that you are involved, you must complete it. If anyone dares to escape, I will personally end his life! "
Everyone shivered.
"Now, I will tell you the goal of this mission, which is to eliminate all the Demonic Cultivators who have sneaked into the Hou Yan Kingdom, so as to achieve the purpose of strictly sealing the news, and not let this news spread in the country and cause panic, understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, let's go."
Along the way, Zhan Chen began to think about the content of this mission, and suddenly understood something. Perhaps similar to this time, the secret mission to eliminate the Demonic Sect was sometimes issued in the Golden Elephant Sect, but people who were not involved in it would not understand the secret.
In fact, the country he lived in was probably not as harmonious and peaceful as he had imagined. Perhaps it was already surrounded by danger, but there would always be a group of people who carried out this kind of secret mission to eliminate the crisis in the bud.
And now, he had also begun to come into contact with some of the deeper secrets of this country.
Under Qian Hu's lead, the group traveled day and night, crossing mountains and ridges. Even so, it took them nearly a month to arrive at a large town on the border between the Hou Yan Kingdom and the Luocha Kingdom, the Tang Town.
As soon as they entered the town, they saw a desolate scene. The shops along the road were half open, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, with a strong sense of vigilance for outsiders.
Zhan Chen did not feel puzzled. It was different from his hometown, Black Plum Town. Everything in Tang Town gave him an abnormal feeling.
At this time, Qian Hu said, "Let's go to the base of our operation from now on — the Tang Clan Village. We'll rest there for a while, and then we'll start the operation immediately."
The servant at the door was only a Martial Disciple, and he looked nervous. When he saw Qian Hu and the others coming to the door, he stepped forward and asked, "Seniors, please wait. What brings you to the Tang Manor?"
With his hands behind his back, Qian Hu said, "Quickly report to your master that the people of the Golden Elephant Sect are here."
As soon as the servant heard the three words "Golden Elephant Sect," his eyes lit up, and he said, "Please wait for a moment, I will immediately report to my master."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the house, and because he was too excited, he even staggered a bit, and as he ran, he shouted, "Master! The people of the Golden Elephant Sect are here! Master, the people of the Golden Elephant Sect are here! "
Not long after, an old man who looked quite old came out with a dozen Martial Master cultivators to welcome them. As soon as he saw Qian Hu, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Qian, you are finally here!"
Qian Hu also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, after three years, your cultivation has become more profound!"
Zhan Chen could tell that Qian Hu and this master of the Tang Family had obviously met more than once or twice, and they were already familiar with each other to the point of calling each other brother. From this, it could be seen how serious the threat of the Demon Sect at the border was!
"This is not the place to talk, please come in." The old man invited everyone into the house.
After everyone came to the living room and sat down, Qian Hu asked, "Brother Tang Qian, the situation this time is quite serious, right? From the tone of your letter asking for help, I'm afraid many people from the Demon Sect have come."
Tang Qian sighed emotionally, "It's a long story. As the master of the Tang Family Village and the mayor of the Tang Family Town, I can't protect the people here, allowing those demon bastards to be so arrogant, and have already harmed many villages!"
Qian Hu hurriedly said, "Brother Tang, don't be anxious, tell me slowly!"
So Tang Qian began to tell the whole story.
Zhan Chen obtained a lot of information from the conversation between the two of them. It turned out that all along, the Rakshasa Country had been constantly harassing the border of the Later Yan Kingdom, causing the defense at the border of the Later Yan Kingdom to be lax, and the disciples of the Demon Sect were able to invade the Later Yan Kingdom. Therefore, the Misty Wind Sect and the five major sects, including the Golden Elephant Sect, would occasionally send people to carry out this kind of secret clean-up mission, mainly to suppress the Rakshasa Sect and the other Demon Sects from invading the Later Yan Kingdom.
And the Tang Family Town happened to be in the territory that the Golden Elephant Sect was responsible for defending, and there were more than a hundred villages under its jurisdiction! And the main opponent of the Golden Elephant Sect was the Evil Spirit Sect, which was on the same level as them.
The last time the Vengeful Spirit Sect attacked was three years ago, causing the deaths and injuries of thousands of villagers in the nearby villages. At that time, Qian Hu led a team to carry out a clean-up of the Evil Spirit Sect disciples who had infiltrated the Tang Family Town, and killed more than a hundred Martial Masters and Martial Disciples.
And today, three years later, the Evil Spirit Sect made a comeback, and it was even more intense! As a strong Revered Martial Artist, Tang Qian personally led his village's consecrators to carry out a clean-up of the Evil Spirit Sect's demonic cultivators in the nearby villages.
However, he did not expect to meet an Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect, Pang Yue, who was also a low-level Revered Martial Artist. After the two of them fought, Tang Qian returned in defeat, and lost more than ten consecrators. He had no choice but to defend the Tang Family Town, and sent a messenger pigeon to request for the Golden Elephant Sect's help.
Therefore, there was this secret mission, and Qian Hu led the disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect to travel through the night.
Qian Hu asked again, "Brother Tang, how are the victims in the various villages?"
Tang Qian sighed, and said, "The number of victims in the villages has reached more than a dozen, and the number of casualties has reached nearly three thousand, and the number of victims is still increasing. The Evil Spirit Sect should really have no descendants! They often leave no survivors wherever they go. Only a few people are lucky enough to escape. "
"In order to appease the villagers, I have already sent people to each village, and lied to them that the Evil Spirit Sect is about to be annihilated, and advised them to focus on production and life, and not to panic. However, the truth can't be concealed any longer. Some villages closest to the border have already begun to panic and flee, and the situation is spreading!"
Qian Hu's expression also became solemn when he heard this. He said, "Brother Tang, don't worry. We will kill these evil spirit bastards as soon as possible, and restore peace to the border."
"Hehe, Brother Qian's martial arts are matchless. It's not a problem for you to take down that Pang Yue. It's just that I'm injured, and it's not convenient for me to join Brother Qian in subduing the evil spirit. It's a pity. But I'm still willing to help! I have ten consecrators under me who are willing to join Brother Qian's team, and listen to Brother Qian's command. "
Qian Hu nodded, and praised, "That's good. Since the situation is critical, let's set off immediately!"
However, Tang Qian stopped him, and said, "It's already late. It's unfavorable to act at night. I hope Brother Qian can recuperate in our village, and set off tomorrow."
Qian Hu pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, "All right. Then, I'll have to trouble you."
Tang Qian burst into laughter, "We, the villagers, are looking forward to your honorable Sect's return. It's like a long drought that has finally seen a good rain. How can I trouble you? Guards! Prepare some food and wine for me. I want to have a good drink with Brother Qian! "
A few tables of sumptuous food and wine were prepared in a short while. The host and the guests took their seats, and drank and chatted merrily. They didn't say much.
Manor Lord Tang arranged the bedrooms for everyone to rest after they had eaten and drank to their heart's content.
Zhan Chen went to his room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed. He felt that his whole body was getting more and more tired.
He had been on the move for a month. So, he would feel tired even if his muscles and bones were made of iron. Moreover, he had drunk a lot of alcohol. So, he was about to have a good sleep when he suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from outside the door. He felt very unhappy, "Who's looking for me so late at night?"
So, he crawled up, opened the door, and saw a young man standing at the door. He was dressed in a loose robe, and his chest was exposed. He was looking at him with a playful look on his face.
"It's you, Senior Lin Dong?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
Lin Dong was one of the three Martial Masters in their group who were at the Great Perfection Martial Masters. Furthermore, he seemed to be very interested in him, and often stared at him.
However, Zhan Chen really didn't like his gaze. He could clearly feel the playfulness, disdain, and other complicated emotions in his gaze. Coupled with the faint smile on his face, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Being stared at by this kind of person made one feel as if there was a dagger on one's back.
Lin Dong was very satisfied with the surprised look on Zhan Chen's face. He said, "What's wrong, Zhan Chen? Aren't you going to invite me in for a drink? "
Only now did Zhan Chen notice the wine pot in his hand. He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. I'm already very tired today. You should also rest early. We still have to continue tomorrow."
Lin Dong didn't care so much. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Zhan Chen's shoulder.
Zhan Chen's pupils constricted. He instinctively wanted to dodge. However, how could he be faster than a Great Perfection Martial Master? Before he could move, Lin Dong had already patted his shoulder.
Lin Dong watched as Zhan Chen tried his best to dodge but was powerless to do so. He could not help but let out a pleased smile as he took the opportunity to step into the house. Sitting beside the table, he placed two wine cups on the table and filled them with wine. He said, "Come, junior Zhan Chen, let's drink."
At this moment, an unknown anger surged in Zhan Chen's heart. This was a blatant provocation and contempt!
"Come here!" Lin Dong shouted at him again.
Zhan Chen suppressed the anger in his heart. He sat down and asked, "Senior Brother Lin Dong, why did you come here today?"
Lin Dong chuckled and said, "Nothing much. I just wanted to give you a cup of farewell wine."
"Farewell wine?" Zhan Chen repeated in confusion.
