The Blade-Wielding Legend

Chapter 1443 742: Demons Brought to Justice (2)

"Old Third!"

The surrounding companions realized something was wrong and quickly came to the rescue.

But the Divine Fist Association expert who was possessed merely twisted his head into a sinister smile, strengthened his legs, and took off into the air, continuing to escape.

Only one of the four wisps of black mist was suppressed by Huo Yin and couldn't escape.

Of course, the attack hadn't ceased yet.

Outside the workshop, the Captain Bureau's elite Gun Team reacted quickly.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom!

The Little Flag Officer commanded sharply, and the Divine Archers lying in ambush, relying on their well-honed instincts, pulled the trigger at the shadow that shot out.

In such a situation, no one could consider the lives of the craftsmen.

The bullets from the Divine Fire Gun naturally moved faster.

The three figures in the air were directly shattered, blood and flesh spilling everywhere.

Yet among them, the Demonic Qi transformed into black mist and shot towards other people.

"Everyone, close your eyes if you don't want to die!"

At this moment, Li Yan's furious shout echoed, accompanied by his incantation, "Sky has records, Earth has laws, Yin Bureau captures souls, living people avoid!"

The living Yin messenger summons...

Huo Yin immediately understood what was being held down by him.

"Everyone, close your eyes!"

His low voice roared like a thunder across the Academy.

Grandmaster Huo Yin's prestige needed no further mention, and his voice carried an overwhelming authority from someone of a higher status.

Originally, some people were hesitating, but at this moment, everyone closed their eyes.

Whoosh~

The wild wind howled, spreading darkness swiftly and engulfing everyone.

Many were frightened, only able to hear the sound of the wind, armor, and chains, clenching their teeth and keeping their eyes shut tightly, afraid to move.

Among them, except for Li Yan, only Huo Yin could perceive with his strong sensing power the details of everything happening around.

He heard the chains making a clattering noise, flying in the air like extremely agile snakes, wrapping around the legs of the craftsmen trying to escape.

Crazy and tear-filled screams echoed in everyone's mind.

As for Li Yan, he felt a familiar presence suddenly appear beside him, a tall figure like a Divine Statue.

It was the Five Dao General!

Upon realizing this, Li Yan was not panicked.

This one was considered his own ally, having formed an alliance with Immortal Master Erlang of the Daluo Dharma Realm. Whenever his actions were involved, they mostly cooperated proactively.

With this presence here, even more Demonic Qi poses no threat.

He secretly opened his eyes.

Indeed, within the dense mist, he saw the figure clad in golden armor, awe-inspiring and majestic.

The Demon God's Demonic Energy was not trivial, even when bound by the Soul Hook of numerous yin soldiers, it still struggled fiercely. The Demonic Qi surged, spreading along the Soul Hook.

Immediately, several yin soldiers flickered and turned pitch-black.

"Hmph!"

The Five Dao General beside Li Yan let out a cold snort.

He quickly raised his hand, and a fierce wind roared around.

As if the space twisted, the Demonic Qi that had originally escaped the workshop appeared directly around them.

Only then did the Five Dao General open his giant palms, pressing down one by one, an icy Netherworld Qi burst forth, resembling a vortex swallowing the Demonic Qi.

It was no wonder that suppressing Demonic Qi required intervention from a Yin Si Divine General.

Only a Divine General could send such an undying entity into the Yin Bureau.

After dispatching two, the Five Dao General grabbed the other two.

In an instant, all four threads of Demonic Qi from Demon God Liu Yuanheng vanished.

It wasn't surprising.

These Demon Gods existed before the Ancient Times battle of Sealing Gods, but their physical forms had already been destroyed, leaving only their immortal Demon Souls.

Restoring their full power was impossible.

Unless the Barbaric Era re-emerges.

The trouble was their undying and immortal nature.

However, at this moment, Li Yan still didn't relax his vigilance.

There were five threads of Demon Qi hiding in the Capital belonging to Liu Yuanheng; one was captured earlier, the remaining four have been suppressed, but Zhao Qingxu is still around.

This demon is the Money Ghost "Jiaozi Charm," sharing the same characteristic as the Demon God.

It's impossible not to be here, just better at concealment.

"Senior, there's still one left!"

Thinking of this, Li Yan hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

Huo Yin's ears twitched from afar, yet his expression remained unchanged.

The Five Dao General didn't waste words either, quickly raised his hand, and the Heart Protection Mirror on his chest armor emitted an unseen ripple, instantly spreading across the Academy.

A gloomy and obscure aura appeared simultaneously.

Only to see a faint black mist on the ground, silently approaching the steam core...

So that was the plan!

In an instant, Li Yan finally figured out Zhao Qingxu's motive.

This individual, the "Jiaozi Charm," was born out of endless human greed and resentment, conniving at manipulating people's hearts, and thus stirring up trouble in the Capitals of different dynasties.

And now, the transformation of Human Dao was imminent.

Zhao Qingxu clearly saw an opportunity, intending to infect Sui Lun True Monarch, with the expansion of steam engines, spreading his influence nationwide, becoming harder to handle then.

"Kid, you deserve to die!"

Once discovered, Zhao Qingxu let out an unwilling roar.

But it was too late; before he could get close to the steam core, things turned blurry as the Five Dao General redirected him directly to his side.

"Roar!"

Faced with the pressing hand overhead, Zhao Qingxu's demon soul was directly suppressed.

As he was about to be sent into the Netherworld, the black mist twisted frantically, and a venomously furious voice echoed in everyone's mind:

"Hahaha..."

"I won't die; as long as the desire of the human heart exists, one day..."

Before finishing speaking, he completely vanished from the human world.

The Yin Bureau soldiers swiftly departed, the black mist, wind sound, and clamor of armor disappeared along with them.

Tranquility returned to the surroundings, only the fire pit crackled and burned.

Someone's face was pale, legs giving way as they collapsed to the ground...

Someone, still haunted by fear, glanced at Li Yan, as though seeing a ghost...

The Mo Sect Master Tao Fengchun, looking at the devastated workshop before him, his face ashen, body trembling, ultimately just sighed and closed his eyes.

He knew that the court's orders this time were likely impossible to fulfill.

Meanwhile, Huo Yin suddenly lifted his head, looking towards the far side of the workshop.

Over there, a figure in a Daoist robe had silently appeared.

The pale hair and beard fluttered in the night sky; it was Heavenly Master Zhang, who sensed something amiss and hurried over.

The two stared at each other but did not make a move.

They knew, having missed this opportunity, with various Sect Leaders from the Mystical Sect arriving, the Royal would no longer be able to solely claim the Sui Lun True Monarch...

......

The next day, in the small courtyard of the Academy.

"I just saw the workshop stopped..."

Sha Lifei hurried back, shook his head tutting.

"Naturally."

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and said, "I saw Brother Yan and Lord Yuan this morning; they have just returned from the palace."

"What did they say?"

"Though punished, their official positions and lives are secure."

"After all, no one expected Heavenly Master Zhang to arrive early, nor that demons had infiltrated the Academy, likely taking advantage when the Captain Bureau took over defenses and drove away the Mystic Sect Law Enforcement Hall to mess around."

"According to Brother Yan, other Sect Leaders have also arrived in the Capital, Zhao Wujiong has been ordered to leave for passage, likely to compromise and discuss terms..."

"As long as it goes, at least the demons did not succeed."

"Thank goodness for Brother Yan's vigilance..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Yan also shook his head slightly, "No matter, these issues are not our concern. At present, the court has strengthened the defenses, should not make mistakes again."

"We only need to wait for the True Monarch's Divine Statue to safely enter the National Ancestral Temple or other Sect Leaders of the orthodox to take over."

Honestly, he wasn't concerned about who offered tribute to the True Monarch.

Emperor Xiao Qixuan claimed it was for Human Dao, but it was for his Great Xuan Dynasty.

There's no eternal dynasty in the world, without checks and balances it would ultimately lead to catastrophes in the human world.

However, eliminating Zhao Qingxu, they finally could leave the Capital.

With that, Li Yan instructed his companions to stay in the small courtyard and not cause trouble before hurriedly returning to his room.

Locking the door, he took out a wooden box from his luggage.

Opening it, inside was the "Horizontal-eyed Bronze Nuo Mask."

Last night, when the Five Dao General left, he gently tapped him, and afterward, a shadow of the Bronze Nuo Mask appeared in his mind.

Li Yan knew this was a signal from Immortal Master Erlang's side to communicate again.

Sure enough, upon holding the Bronze Nuo Mask, it felt heavier and colder.

Li Yan, familiar with the process, lay down and placed the Bronze Nuo Mask on his head.

Soon, a scene of thick mist appeared before his eyes...
