Chapter 71: Extremely Evil The sky was already bright, and the sun was shining in from outside. But Mr. Lu's mood did not seem to become brighter and more cheerful because of this. "I once saw with my own eyes when I was on the Guantian Tower in Qifeng City. A wolf that had turned into a demon ate a deer that had also turned into a demon." "I have also seen a lone boat in the mist outside the city, swallowing up a large number of wandering monsters." "Among demons, it is the same as the law of the jungle. There are no rules at all." Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know the details of the truth, I should be able to make some guesses." Lin Yan looked solemn. He did not interrupt Mr. Lu and listened quietly. "Back then, the 'life-buying money' wasn't considered a particularly scary weird thing." "The group of people who were escorting the 'life-saving money' to Qifeng City probably came close to the range of the 'Strange Lantern' on the way." "As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, so hostility arose between the two strange creatures."
"Now it seems that it was the lantern that swallowed up the money that bought my life." Lu Gong said: "Among the five elements, fire can overcome metal. The lantern itself has an advantage, not to mention that the money for buying life has been banned." Lin Yan immediately understood the entanglement and pondered, "So these two terrifying creatures, after more than ten years, completely merged into one?" "That strange lamp should go beyond the category of 'evil spirit' and can be called 'ferocious'." Lord Lu nodded and said, "Now this life-buying money has also gone a step further and is extremely 'fierce'. The combination of the two is extremely vicious and evil... It can be ranked among the best in Qifeng Mansion." After hearing this, Lin Yan also thought about it. "The strange lamp I encountered last night, although it is hopeless for ordinary warriors, but for those who have reached the Refining Essence Realm, it is not difficult to deal with it." "This is not his true form." Lord Lu said, "His true form is most likely at the level of 'extremely evil' and will wake up Lord Liu." It was just like the life-saving coin. Because the person being escorted mistakenly entered the range of the strange lantern, it was equivalent to invading its territory. So the strange lantern will devour the money for saving your life. If the monsters, evil spirits, strange creatures, etc. that invade Gaoliu City are too powerful, Liu Zun will wake up and kill them. "This does not mean that the existence that can awaken Liu Zun can threaten Liu Zun's safety." Mr. Lu explained, "Now Liu Zun lives in this city, just like you live in Linjiangsi." "If an ant crawls in from the back wall, you may not care. Even if you see it, you will not run to the backyard to crush it to death." "But what if the one who entered Linjiangsi was a vicious wolf?" "Although it is no different from an ant to a warrior like you who is at the Refining Essence Realm, you will still draw your sword and kill it." At this point, Lord Lu added: "In fact, the more powerful the existence, the more it can sense the power of Lord Liu. Therefore, normally, there are very few powerful demons wandering around Gaoliu City." Lin Yan nodded. He had a deep understanding of this point. All powerful demons are afraid of Liu Zun's existence.
There are many little demons and ghosts who occasionally appear outside the city walls and even try to capture and kill the soldiers defending the city. For example, some time ago, when evil spirits attacked the city, in fact, those who attacked in the darkness were mostly small demons and wandering ghosts. Their bloodthirsty instincts and desire for incense outweigh their fear of powerful beings. Relatively speaking, the nature of these little demons and ghosts is more similar to that of wild beasts. "Logically speaking, there are only two possibilities for this strange lantern to appear in Gaoliu City, which is so powerful." Lord Lu said, "Either it is so powerful that it is beyond imagination and wants to challenge the power of Lord Liu and become the new master of this land!" At this point, Master Lu denied this statement: "But he should not be that powerful, otherwise even if he is an incarnation, my talisman will not be able to suppress him." "What about the other possibility?" Lin Yan pondered and said, "Does Mr. Lu think that this is a man-made disaster?" Mr. Lu frowned and said slowly: "Things like strange things are neither monsters nor evil spirits. They are not intelligent and cannot communicate." "He is more like a special kind of 'poison'. If you come into contact with Him, you will be poisoned by Him." "For example, if you get money to buy your life, He will take away your essence and turn it into lamp oil." "During the day, he is truly a dead thing. Once night falls, he will reveal his strange power." "If this kind of strange thing of unknown origin is brought into the city during the day, the Guantian Tower will not be able to detect any clues." "Anyone who brings a strange object into the city will inevitably come into contact with the strange object, and will die at night." At this point, Lord Lu spoke in a heavy tone, "But if strange things enter the city, the city will be in chaos." "I order Chief Clerk Yang to conduct a detailed investigation of all murders in the past two days." At this point, Lin Yan pondered and said, "It must include death from illness, old age, all accidents, all deaths." Lord Lu nodded and said, "I will also find a few trustworthy people to investigate in secret." Both of them knew in their hearts that this kind of desperate means was probably related to those crazy people in "Jie Jin". But strange creatures cannot communicate, so Jie Jin cannot bring the real body of the "strange lamp", but can only lead its incarnation to the city to claim lives and create chaos. "It's just that I feel a little uneasy." "People who rob the ashes usually hide in the dark, looking for opportunities to wreak havoc on the entire city, or even destroy Gaoliu City!" After Lord Lu said this, he pondered and said, "This kind of trick can only cause chaos, but cannot destroy the entire city. The consequence is that they are more likely to expose themselves and be captured by the Tianjiansi." "Logically, they wouldn't do this unless there was something more worthwhile for them to do." The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Lin Yan couldn't help but ponder: "In this strange night, the human race is struggling to survive, and those rats are trying every means to destroy Gaoliu City. What are they doing?" "The people who robbed the ashes came from all walks of life and from all sides. Their backgrounds were all different, so it was hard to tell clearly. However, there are some records in the Heaven Monitoring Department." Lord Lu shook his head slightly and said, "Lin Yan has already caught the eye of Jie Jin. You, the flag bearer of Wu Chang, have become famous recently. You have also provoked this 'life-buying money' and the 'forbidden land strange lamp'. It is difficult for Jie Jin not to pay attention to you."
Then Lord Lu said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid we will have to deal with them a lot in the future. You can go find Chief Envoy Han and check the detailed records later." "clear." Lin Yan nodded slightly, took out the two fake gold pieces, and asked, "Since I have two more pieces of gold, I think there will be more than two ghost lanterns tonight." "Wrap it with my magic talisman, it should be able to calm down." Lord Lu said, "He has completely set his sights on you. If you leave Gaoliu City and appear in the darkness in the future, perhaps his true form will come looking for you... From now on, don't leave this talisman with you." At this point, Lord Lu laughed and said, "If I am not mistaken, you are probably the only one who has broken His rules so far." Lin Yan couldn't help but weigh the two pieces of gold and sneered, "Forced purchase and sale, using fake money, does He still have a point?" (End of this chapter)
