Chapter 93 Bloodline Alienation
"Has the demon's feelings changed in the past ten years?"
After Xi Jing and the other person left the stone chamber, they did not go to the banquet, but went to the conference room at Gu Qingyuan's signal.
Gu Qingyuan asked only after the servants served the tea.
Xi Jing picked up the teacup, stared at the leaves floating in the cup and said, "Yes, in the third year of your retreat, the blood anomalies among the demon cultivators began to increase. In the fifth year, the demons transformed very quickly, but most of them were malignant, and a few were compatible with themselves. In the ninth year, which was the year before last, benign transformations began to appear frequently."
As he spoke, he threw out the corpses of three demon cultivators, all of whom transformed into their original forms, all of which were wolf-like monsters, but with slight differences.
Gu Qingyuan looked at it carefully and had a general idea in his mind.
The first wolf demon's tail was split into two. There was nothing magical about it. It was just in line with the wind method and could control the wind faster.
The second one has bony wings growing between the ribs, without any feathers. The slender wings are connected by fascia between the bones and are tightly attached to the sides of the wolf monster's back. These bony wings are too thin and too small to support the weight of the wolf monster's body, so it cannot fly. They grow deformedly, and a lot of essence and blood were consumed to produce them, but they can only serve as decorations. This must be a malignant alienation.
Gu Qingyuan was thinking about the four-legged beautiful snake monster with a human head that seemed to be randomly put together, and his eyes fell on the body of the last wolf monster.
This monster is five times larger than the previous two. Its thick and fluffy wolf tail has turned into a snake head, and its body is covered with black scales. It looks much better than the previous two.
After seeing Gu Qingyuan finish reading, Xi Jing said, "These three monsters were all killed by disciples of the sect. There is nothing much to say about the first two. They are weaker than ordinary monsters. I guess they were dragged down by the abnormality of their bodies. But the third one is different."
As he fiddled with the wolf corpse, he pointed to a lacerated wound on the corpse's abdomen and said, "This monster has black scales, and ordinary weapons cannot hurt it. But according to my disciples, it has a stronger ability to resist magic. Come and take a look."
As Gu Qingyuan walked along, most of the disciples of Da Dao Temple had gathered their minds, and with Jiang Feng's memory for reference, they understood a lot about the situation. Asking questions here was on the one hand to hide his shortcomings, but more importantly, he wanted to make use of Da Dao Temple's complete intelligence capabilities to fill in the gaps.
He looked at the wolf demon's wound. The tear was not fatal. The only thing hidden under the wound was a charred mass.
First, use a sharp weapon to break the scales, then use fire to break into the monster's body, burn its heart, and cut off its life.
Under Gu Qingyuan's divine gaze, nothing unusual can escape detection.
"These scales have the ability to weaken the power of magic, and the flesh and blood inside are more resilient. I guess that disciple must have spent a lot of effort on them?" Gu Qingyuan asked.
Xijing nodded: "I know that disciple. He has foundation building skills and is quite skilled in wielding the Nanming Lihuo Sword. Normally, it would be easy to behead a monster with this level of cultivation with one sword. But that disciple was hit by seven swords in a row before he broke through the scales and armor and passed through the Nanming fire energy. However, he was resisted by the wolf monster's flesh and blood, and it took a lot of effort to kill it."
Xi Jing achieved enlightenment through swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was divine. He was remembered by the master and praised for his swordsmanship. He was truly outstanding among all the disciples, surpassing most of the mediocre foundation builders. Even such an outstanding person would have difficulty dealing with the wolf monster. If it were any other disciple...
Gu Qingyuan and Xi Jing looked at each other and asked, "How many monsters like this are there now?"
"Since I received the news, I informed all the sects and asked two Purple Mansions to be demon inspectors. We combed the territory under our jurisdiction and killed 78 such monsters, as well as a number of weaker monsters. I'm sure the other orthodox sects should have killed about the same number as well." Xi Jing replied.
Gu Qingyuan fiddled with the wolf head with its eyes open: "It seems the situation is not optimistic." "Yes, Zifu can destroy such a monster with a snap of a finger, but it is not so easy for the disciples below, and we have to guard against the undercurrent." Xijing nodded with a worried look on his face.
Gu Qingyuan naturally understood what he meant. Humanity was prosperous in this world and they oppressed demon cultivators. Although they often pruned branches and leaves and cleared out demons, the demon race was born with physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people and had a fast reproduction rate. Although their maturity period was long, their growth period was extremely short.
Wolf monsters like this one, with their intelligence cultivated and consuming the sun and moon essence, often take hundreds of years to achieve foundation building. It only takes a hundred years for the elders of the human race to complete the foundation building, but the monster race's cultivation and entry-level fetal breathing progress very quickly. They only need to get through the childhood stage. Once they grow up, they can practice Qi.
In addition, there are humanitarian monks who are eyeing them covetously. The law of the jungle applies, and those who can survive are all those with strong bodies. With such a large base, it is inevitable that the strong will become stronger and the weak will become food.
Now that the bloodline has been mutated, although the top-level combat power is far inferior to that of humans, the middle and low-level combat power has increased a lot out of thin air.
But Xi Jing was not worried about these. Now that the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators had already experienced such extraordinary phenomena, what about the Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators?
He didn't believe that there weren't a few Purple Palaces among the demon cultivators. They were just hiding and rarely showing up.
"During the period of investigation of demons, we received reports that strange beasts had appeared. However, when we tracked them to the designated location, we did not find them. This happened many times." Xi Jing revealed another piece of news.
Gu Qingyuan's face was heavy: "Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator."
Intelligence investigations are full of truth and falsehood, and false reports are inevitable, but Xijing's point is that this phenomenon is not just one or two times, so there is an explanation.
The only one who can hide things from Zifu is Zifu.
"Yes, I suspect that there are Purple Mansion demon cultivators involved, and there are more than one. There should be wise men among them who discovered the bloodline mutation and are collecting these strange beasts." Xi Jing rubbed his thumb, "I can't rule out the possibility that there are Purple Mansion demon cultivators who have mutated."
Since Xi Jing had discovered something, he must have a response. Gu Qingyuan immediately asked, "Senior, do you have a decision?"
"I intend to activate the Demon Killing Order," Xi Jing, who was in a clear and bright moonlight, spoke with murderous intent. "The human race has been at ease for too long, and has forgotten how to survive when humanity declined. Now the three sects are working together to protect one side, and the demon race has only a breathing space left. Instead, they are more aggressive. The human cultivators are busy and hustling, forgetting the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and cannot see the subversive disaster lurking under the calm lake. Things change with people, and it just so happens that such strange phenomena are happening. This should be a warning from heaven to the human race. It's time to wake them up with a massacre. No matter whether it is the blood of the demon race or the human race, it is better than the extinction of the human race a hundred years later, and becoming food for the monsters."
Of course Gu Qingyuan would not object and would support it with both hands. The human race has always been good at civil wars but not good at foreign wars. Now there are three sects in a tripartite relationship, but it is a false prosperity. The internal fighting is fierce, but the swordplay is hidden under Yanyan's smiling face. It is better to have a demon tribe as a target to divert conflicts than to be taken advantage of by the demon tribe.
Gu Qingyuan also admired Xijing for his courage. Once the butcher knife was raised, it would never be put down. If any disaster occurred, Xijing, the initiator, would be the first to bear the brunt.
Xi Jing looked at Gu Qingyuan's admiring eyes, knowing what he was thinking, and smiled: "In fact, my eldest brother is unmatched in combat power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world. In addition, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have practiced a magical power that can shut up everyone in the world once it is used. I have to thank you for this."
As he spoke, Xijing's sword moved without wind and fell into his palm: "Besides, if there are idle gossips, whether it is human or demon, my sword has been hidden for a long time, and I should take a few purple mansions to sharpen it to prevent it from rusting."
The leader of Da Dao Temple, the Sword Saint of Tongming, once fought against three enemies alone and killed three Purple Palaces, and was known as the second Xisheng.
Xi Jing flicked the sword lightly, and the sound of the sword resounded through the sky. "The three sects have been in a three-way confrontation for thousands of years. It's time for a change."
