Chapter 83: The Destroyed Nine Heavens Stronghold!
"There is demonic energy!"
On the dim cloud layer, Lin Xuan, draped in a black robe, sensed a faint chilling intent within the void and spoke with a piercing tone.
Although the demonic energy was faint, it was much denser than in other places.
"Big liar, you need to be careful. After we investigate the matters in Demon Town City as soon as possible, we still have to rush to Hundred Flowers Mountain!"
Xiao Yu, being a demonic spirit, naturally also sensed the faint demonic power and said with a hint of urgency in her manner.
Now, the sky had just darkened.
The red lanterns on Demon Town City gradually lit up, and many cultivators who had gone to the Azure Wave Mountains to gather herbs were gradually returning.
Because a flight restriction spell formation had been set up within Demon Town City, Lin Xuan let Xiao Yu stay inside the storage ring, and he walked towards Demon Town City confidently alone.
The distance got closer.
Illuminated by the red light, one could still see the mottled traces of time on the city walls.
The responsibility of guarding the city gates was rotated among major forces, and now it was the turn of the Shentu Clan's people.
As long as the Demon Revealing Mirror on the city gate had no reaction, one's identity could be confirmed as human, and they could freely enter Demon Town City.
Lin Xuan looked up at the bronze ancient mirror on the city gate, which was close to one meter in diameter.
He activated the probing function.
Nickname: Demon Revealing Mirror.
Type: Magical Treasure.
Grade: Sixth Grade Upper Class (Fragmented).
"It is broken!"
Lin Xuan's heart sank.
But he did not startle the snake, instead entering Demon Town City with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Since the Demon Revealing Mirror on the city gate is already in a broken state, that means whether human or a demon with transformation abilities, anyone can enter Demon Town City."
Lin Xuan thought with a somewhat solemn expression.
This Demon Town City was preliminarily estimated to be a giant city with a population of nearly one million surviving here for generations, yet the defensive measures were virtually non-existent.
"Even Demon Town City is this chaotic, let alone the numerous villages and towns north of Demon Town City near the Azure Wave Mountains."
Lin Xuan realized that this matter was becoming more and more complicated.
The several ancestor-level pseudo-divine beasts of the Azure Wave Demon Clan lineage might have found a method to resolve the bloodline restriction in advance.
Lin Xuan walked out from the city entrance and gradually came back to his senses.
Within his line of sight, the lights were brilliant, and the bustling crowd was extremely lively.
In the distance, there were even some children chasing and playing.
It looked like a scene of prosperity!
But Lin Xuan knew that beneath this prosperity, many demons were hidden.
However, because there were multiple forces guarding Demon Town City, these demon clans still only dared to hide in concealed places and do some murderous deeds.
In the game of the previous life.
This Azure Wave Demon Clan lineage had quite a few connections with the Western Continent Demon Clan, and the mastermind behind it was mainly the Western Continent Demon Clan causing trouble.
"Guest, do you need Illusion Incense Powder?"
"Low price!"
Just as Lin Xuan stepped into the city, an old man wearing a straw raincoat on one side said in a low voice.
"Oh, to think there is actually Illusion Incense Powder for sale here; this is a prohibited item!"
Lin Xuan looked over with interest and said.
After this Illusion Powder is taken by a person, it will produce an illusion in a short period of time.
What one thinks in their own mind, under the effect of the Illusion Powder, will cause the person to fall into an illusion.
Of course, ordinary Illusion Powder cannot even last for half the time it takes an incense stick to burn; it can only provide a little entertainment.
At the same time, Lin Xuan subconsciously activated the probing function and looked at the old man!
Nickname: Mystic Turtle Demon.
Race: Demon Race.
Level: Foundation Establishment Realm First Heaven.
"This guest, times are tough nowadays. It is just a little Illusion Powder; it won't kill anyone. It is merely for a livelihood!"
Said the old man who had his head covering his face.
Lin Xuan scanned his stall; the items sold were indeed some rare little trinkets that could only serve a slight confusing effect.
Demon Town City is near the Azure Wave Mountains.
If some demons can obtain the passes issued by the alliance of major families, they can all conduct business in the outer city area of Demon Town City.
Of course, if they merchants sell prohibited items, they will be arrested and sentenced by the enforcement team of the Demon Town Alliance.
Lightly punished, they will be skinned and tendons extracted.
Heavily punished, their soul will scatter and spirit dissipate.
Therefore, there are quite a few demon races doing business in the outer city area of Demon Town City.
However, Lin Xuan scanned this Mystic Turtle Demon a few times.
This guy probably knew the Demon Revealing Mirror was broken, so he took the opportunity to enter Demon Town City; otherwise, he wouldn't be setting up a stall right at the city gate.
Lin Xuan also did not intend to expose this turtle demon.
He was not a demonic cultist who killed for fun; it was also fine to be a good demon who honestly conducted business.
"This decorative mask is quite nice; I want it!"
Lin Xuan's gaze fell on a mask that was purple all over on one side of the stall, and he said to him.
"Guest, you have a good eye. This thing was made by my grandson who has dexterous hands. Although he is still small, he is good at making handicrafts!"
The old Mystic Turtle demon picked up the purple mask and explained to Lin Xuan.
"How much is it!?"
Lin Xuan examined the mask.
Probing function activated.
Nickname: Decorative Mask.
Type: Pseudo-Magical Treasure (Fragmented).
Grade: Sub-First Grade.
Effect: Simple decoration of the face.
"In reply to the guest, two Lower Grade Spirit Stones!"
After this old Mystic Turtle demon finished speaking, Lin Xuan took out two Spirit Stones from his storage ring, handed them to the old Mystic Turtle demon, and then turned around and left.
After walking out a hundred steps.
Lin Xuan put on the mask.
His eyes turned purple, his nose became a bit higher, his skin appeared slightly fairer, and his whole temperament became somewhat bewitching.
Lin Xuan summoned a water curtain and looked at his face in the mirror.
He actually felt that the Mystic Turtle grandson's craftsmanship was not bad.
Next.
After such a small interlude, Lin Xuan headed towards the stronghold of the Nine Heavens Sacred Land in this place.
To better understand the current information on Demon Town City, one had to find the Sacred Land disciples responsible for this area.
The Nine Heavens Sacred Land had set up two strongholds in Demon Town City.
One was in the open, located in the inner city area.
The second was a hidden stronghold, located in the outer city area.
The one Lin Xuan was going to was the hidden stronghold.
The open stronghold was located in the inner city; if he appeared there with his identity as a Holy Son, it would be too sensitive and easily make them wary.
In a somewhat desolate wine alley in the outer city area.
Lin Xuan went straight to the tavern flying a Cloud Flag.
"Huh?"
"Closed for business?"
Lin Xuan's expression sank, and with a dashing movement, he directly kicked open the tavern door.
Bang...
Accompanied by a muffled sound.
Immediately after, Lin Xuan took out several Spirit Lamps from his storage ring.
The Spirit Lamps floated several meters in mid-air, illuminating the entire tavern brightly.
Lin Xuan scanned around, and his pupils shrank.
Coming into view.
On the ground of this hidden stronghold established by the Nine Heavens Sacred Land, there were several dry corpses.
Their blood had been sucked dry; this kind of method was not something that could be done in struggles between cultivators.
The dust on the table to the side was only a thin layer.
The time the disciples at this stronghold were killed was about a month ago.
Afterwards, Lin Xuan searched around inside the tavern.
There were a total of six dry corpses.
However, Lin Xuan knew that the deployment of every hidden stronghold of the Nine Heavens Sacred Land was seven people.
In other words, there was still one disciple alive at this hidden point!
Lin Xuan used a separate storage bag to collect the six dry corpses, intending to bury them properly when he returned to the Nine Heavens Sacred Land.
Standing in the tavern hall, looking at this lifeless stronghold, the killing intent in the bottom of Lin Xuan's eyes became denser.
He had not expected that the matter would be much worse than he had envisioned.
