Chapter 178 Demonic Tide
When Li Yuan returned to the palace, he found Zhang Tiansheng still sitting cross-legged, as if he had not been troubled.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked towards the corner of the palace.
The Wuchen Mountain God was sitting cross-legged quietly, not moving at all.
"He said he wanted to take a nap and asked us not to disturb him."
Zhang Tiansheng said suddenly.
Li Yuan said "oh". Although he felt that the breath of Wuchen Mountain God was a little erratic, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Little did they know that the immortal soul of Wuchen Mountain God was spinning in the oil pan.
Took a few days' rest.
The generals in Zhenmo Pass would send some information about the Fushang Sword from time to time.
Some are past traces, some are about the past of the Fu Shang Sword, and there is also a list of the successive owners of the Fu Shang Sword, etc.
Although they were not important clues, Li Yuan did not treat those who helped him find information badly.
While wandering around the Demon-Suppressing Pass in search of the Fushang Sword, he also often appeared in the wounded camp to treat the wounded soldiers.
Never asked for any reward.
Many soldiers in Zhenmo Pass were frightened at first, thinking that Li Yuan was greedy for more.
But after many treatments, Li Yuan just turned around and left without making any requests.
In his opinion, the generals sent people to look for information about the Fu Shang Sword for him; and when he went out, he treated the wounded. This was a fair deal.
In fact, if the generals of Zhenmo Pass were not worried that Li Yuan would ask for compensation, they would not be willing to let Li Yuan take formal action.
According to Li Yuan's personality, he had already helped Zhenmo Pass repel several sneak attacks by monsters.
I don’t know what the immortals and gods did in the past to make these iron-blooded men on the battlefield become so cautious.
However, this is the demon-suppressing pass of the human race after all. Li Yuan believes that he is just a passer-by who came here by chance.
Moreover, the soldiers at the Demon-Suppressing Pass also need to fight more with monsters, just as a form of training.
After all, this is a battlefield between two races, and the soldiers need to maintain sufficient vigilance and combat effectiveness.
Only by experiencing real blood and fire can one become a strong enough warrior.
Li Yuan understood and respected the choices of those generals.
Soon, several months passed.
The people at Demon-Suppressing Pass have become accustomed to Li Yuan's temperament.
Don't put on airs and won't ask for any extravagant conditions.
He does not bully or insult anyone, and even maintains enough respect for the Demon-Suppressing Pass and its soldiers.
It's like, just treating yourself as a 'person' with great power.
There is no sense of being superior and alienated.
They are hundreds of times easier to get along with than the immortals and gods in the past.
The generals in Zhenmo Pass also gradually became more relaxed from being cautious.
At Li Yuan's request, they always talked with their backs straight.
No need to bend down.
Outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass, the demonic aura became increasingly severe.
In that miasma-filled area, countless figures have begun to come alive.
The terrifying demon tide is coming soon.
All the soldiers in Zhenmo Pass were on high alert, setting up defense lines outside the city and being on guard at all times.
In the luxurious palace, the Wuchen Mountain God seemed to be in a state of meditation and had not moved since that day.
No sound was made.
When many soldiers at the Demon Suppression Pass heard about this, they felt worried but also relieved.
This is a real "master", the kind that requires a lot of effort to serve, but may not be able to please him.
In comparison, Li Yuan, who just wanted to try some local delicacies occasionally, was simply too calm.
Over the past few months, Li Yuan often wandered around the Demon-Suppressing Pass, looking for clues about the Fushang Sword.
Sometimes it was the gourd that moved, and sometimes it was Li Yuan’s own sensation.
But every time, it's always just a little bit short.
It was as if the being who wielded the Fushang Sword was deliberately avoiding him.
The Fushang Sword is very special and can block the spiritual consciousness of immortals and gods.
Even if Li Yuan swept the entire Demon-Suppressing Pass, he would not find any problems.
However, after several months of searching, and with the assistance of the generals from the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
Li Yuan finally locked onto one person.
He is the man in black who only appears when monsters attack.
I heard that the man in black always carries a mysterious sword on his back and never takes it out of its sheath.
Li Yuan suspected that it might be the Fushang Sword he had been searching for for a long time.
However, this man in black had powerful magic and strange whereabouts. Li Yuan followed him several times, but always lost him at some corner.
It happened again this time.
After Li Yuan saw the man in black return triumphantly, he quietly used the invisibility technique to follow him.
But after going around a few streets in the city, there was no trace of the other party.
It was like it turned a corner and disappeared right where it was.
Li Yuan frowned and swept the entire city with his spiritual sense.
But there was still no clue, so I had to go home.
"Damn it! I've already figured out a little bit of his hiding method!"
In the palace, Li Yuan complained to Zhang Tiansheng about his fruitless return today.
But after several searches, it’s not like there was no gain at all.
Every time before losing track of someone, Li Yuan would look at the other person carefully.
For example, the opponent's pace, the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while the opponent is walking, etc.
After a few times, Li Yuan was able to follow the other party for longer and closer.
After a few more times, Li Yuan probably figured out the secret of this person's concealment technique.
Bang!
Bang! !
Just as Li Yuan was eating delicious food and talking incessantly, war drums suddenly sounded in the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
The dull sound of war drums echoed throughout the city.
The sound is like thunder, and it is an ancient war drum made from the skin of Kui ox.
This means that a wave of monsters is coming.
The palace door was knocked open hastily.
"Master Immortal God!"
"A wave of demons is coming. Tens of thousands of demons have gathered outside the Demon Suppression Pass. Please, sir, help us resist the wave of demons!"
Outside the palace, several black-armored centurions ran over and knelt down to beg in the direction of the Wuchen Mountain God.
During the past hundred years, the Wuchen Mountain God was in charge of guarding the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
Now that the demon wave is coming, it is natural that he should be informed first.
However, faced with the anxious requests for help from several black-armored centurions, Wuchen Mountain God remained "unmoved".
Just stayed quietly in a corner of the palace, as if 'not caring'.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Li Yuan turned around and couldn't help coughing softly a few times.
"Ahem... I'm calling you!"
A wisp of his immortal power surged towards the Wuchen Mountain God.
Who would have thought that the immortal power floating on the body of Wuchen Mountain God would disappear without a trace in an instant, just like mud entering the sea.
Li Yuan widened his eyes slightly.
"Are you pretending to be dead?"
Several black-armored centurions were extremely anxious.
The battle outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass has already begun, and the demons won’t wait for you to be fully prepared before taking action!
Tens of thousands of demons rushed in together, and the evil spirit soared into the sky.
The noise was earth-shattering.
Every moment, hundreds of soldiers sacrifice their lives outside the city!
A centurion with a more straightforward personality could not help but kowtow in a deep voice.
"Immortal God Wuchen, please help the Demon Suppression Pass!"
"During the last wave of monsters, you said that your immortal body was not feeling well and did not take action... More than 300,000 brothers died at the Demon Suppression Pass!"
"Now that more than ten years have passed, it should be better!"
The captain kowtowed repeatedly, tears welling up in his tiger eyes.
The gods and immortals came to help suppress the demons; that was a contract made between the ancient emperor and the heaven.
The ancient human emperor helped the Heavenly Court to establish its way, and the agreement he obtained in exchange for his great achievements was recognized even by the supreme Heavenly Emperor.
"Please... fulfill your responsibility!"
Several captains gritted their teeth and spoke to the immortals and gods in a rare strong and powerful tone.
They all kowtowed and pleaded in the direction of the Wuchen Mountain God.
Zhang Tiansheng cleared his throat slightly.
"Li Yuan, you go."
Li Yuan had actually already stood up and even rolled up his sleeves.
But he still looked at Zhang Tiansheng strangely.
He felt that Lao Zhang seemed to know something.
However, the fighting outside the city was intense and Li Yuan did not want to waste time.
He summoned clouds and mist directly from outside the palace.
"Let's go, time is running out!"
He called several black-armored centurions to go up to the cloud.
The battle involves two tribes, and some secret matters still need to be informed and reminded by the veterans of the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
The men were stunned for a moment, then quickly ran towards the clouds and mist.
"Damn it, you're pretending to be dead. I'll come back and deal with you later!"
Before Li Yuan flew away, he turned around and glared fiercely at the Wuchen Mountain God.
Zhang Tiansheng also took a deep breath and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
This pot...
Wuchen Mountain God is bound to be unlucky.
