“Oh?”
Jun Changxiao took the palm-sized token and discovered it had no text on it, only a carved crescent moon pattern that looked somewhat sinister, so he asked: “Are you sure?”
“The Moon Burial Pavilion is enemies with the Boundary Hall—no one dares deliberately forge this to swindle people.”
Gu Zhaoxi said: “Moreover, being able to set up the long-lost demonic formation, only this mysterious organization could do it.”
Jun Changxiao immediately believed him and smiled: “After wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, I obtain it without effort.”
The main purpose of coming to Demon Affinity City this time was to capture Moon Burial Pavilion people and find the specific location of the sealed Demon Delusion Domain. Now not only had he captured one, but also a helmsman who should have real power and status in the organization.
“Moon Burial Pavilion?”
“No wonder they look so frightening!”
Gu Zhaoxi’s voice had been quite loud just now, and the warriors hiding in rooms watching the excitement all heard it, their eyes immediately filling with terror.
In the eyes of many demonic cultivators, the Moon Burial Pavilion organization had split off from the Demon Delusion Clan, so their demonic cultivation was much more orthodox than their own!
“Hmph!”
One black-robed warrior said coldly: “Since you know our identities, quickly release the Helmsman!”
Since the Moon Burial Pavilion dared to oppose the Boundary Hall, they must be an extremely fierce force. Various independent cultivators and sects wouldn’t provoke them, afraid of being targeted later.
Unfortunately, Jun Changxiao came specifically for this organization. Since he’d captured a hall master, he naturally wouldn’t let go. So his brain whirred and he said: “Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?”
“Lingyao Female Emperor’s person.”
When saying this, Jun Changxiao’s expression didn’t change at all—Gu Zhaoxi almost believed him.
The expressions of over a dozen black-robed warriors became difficult.
Lingyao Female Emperor represented the Boundary Hall. He was her person, which also represented the Boundary Hall. With the Helmsman now held hostage, he would probably be taken back to receive sanctions!
The situation was not good!
That they could think this way also perfectly suited Gou Sheng’s intentions.
That woman who trapped Ye Xingchen and instigated his sworn brother to be a spy—if he didn’t find an opportunity to scheme against her, how could he live up to his title of ‘Most Handsome Schemer King in History’?
Of course, this rather crude scheme might not necessarily bring trouble to Lingyao Female Emperor, but Jun Changxiao’s thinking was also simple: I’ll first play some small schemes to disgust you—who knows, there might be unexpected gains.
Schemes don’t need to be profound, as long as there are many they work!
“Swish!”
One black-robed warrior hurriedly retreated two steps, raising something like a fire starter high, saying: “One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet!”
“Whoosh!”
Streaming light sprayed out, shooting straight into the clouds.
“Old brother.”
Gu Zhaoxi hurriedly said: “This is the Moon Burial Pavilion’s contact signal. I heard the storyteller say that members within a radius of several thousand miles, upon seeing the light, will rush over at the fastest speed!”
Jun Changxiao inwardly collapsed: “Old brother, the storyteller you mentioned wouldn’t be the Know-It-All of Jianghu, would it?”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, from four areas within Demon Affinity City, streams of light shot over explosively.
Some were inn servants, some were street pedestrians, their bodies gradually gathering powerful demonic energy as they proudly hung crescent moon badges on their chests.
That’s right.
All Moon Burial Pavilion people!
As a force hiding in the shadows fighting the Boundary Hall, they definitely wouldn’t appear openly and honestly, so members were mostly hidden among the common folk—this was perfectly normal.
“Tsk tsk.”
Gu Zhaoxi said with surprise: “This city actually hid so many Moon Burial Pavilion people.”
Wait!
Among the hundreds coming, over twenty looked familiar!
“Martial Uncle!”
Li Qingyang exclaimed: “They were scammed by you!”
Indeed, among the Moon Burial Pavilion warriors flying over, quite a few had been forcibly scammed before, such as the two demonic cultivators who gave a thousand Black Stones, and… that child eating candied hawthorn.
Of course.
Yesterday they looked very weak.
Now wearing badges and revealing their true identities, their bodies and eyes immediately emanated powerful killing intent, their strength at minimum reaching mid-stage Sky-Breaking Realm level!
From this it could be seen their acting skills were exquisite—not a single flaw had been detected!
“…”
Gu Zhaoxi stiffly turned toward the camera and wailed: “Do I have a setting of 100% scamming Moon Burial Pavilion people?”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The distress signal still burned in the firmament, but the street where Jun Changxiao stood had already been surrounded by hundreds of Moon Burial Pavilion members, and there were quite a few more rushing from outside the city.
Killing intent, crisscrossing!
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Just capturing one person has caused such a big commotion.”
“Old brother.”
Gu Zhaoxi calmed down and transmitted: “The Moon Burial Pavilion’s strength is considerable. A wise man doesn’t eat the loss before him—we should quickly take this guy and flee.”
If it were just the few hundred people standing on the street, he wouldn’t worry. What he feared was reinforcements coming to help. If they sent a few Nine Revolutions over, the situation would definitely be dangerous.
“Okay.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Withdraw!”
Since the person was captured, he had no interest in fighting. The urgent matter was still to quickly take this helmsman away and force him to reveal the specific location where the Demon Delusion Domain was sealed.
Unfortunately!
A bit late!
Because outside Demon Affinity City, four streams of light flew over from different directions, then hovered above the street, revealing four black-robed elders with cold gazes and bulging temples.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Four powerful demonic energies spread wildly, instantly enveloping the entire city. The murderous aura was intense to the extreme, as if instantly transforming this place into a hell!
“Old brother!”
Gu Zhaoxi’s brows furrowed tightly as he transmitted: “All Nine Revolutions!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao inwardly thought: “Worthy of being an organization that dared fight the Boundary Hall for tens of thousands of years—casually summoning so many top-tier Core Revolution Realm experts!”
The dozen or so black-robed warriors deploying the sealing formation weren’t very strong. With the Gou Sheng brothers’ abilities, they could completely dominate them. But now with four Nine Revolutions arriving, the situation immediately reversed.
“Old brother, what do we do?”
Gu Zhaoxi panicked a bit. He wasn’t worried about himself, but worried that Jun Changxiao and the disciples couldn’t successfully escape.
“Swish!”
Gou Sheng waved his hand, taking out the Difficult to Collect Blade in miniature form, saying: “If there’s no choice, can only go on a killing spree.”
He wasn’t panicked, because being surrounded by powerful experts wasn’t the first time he’d encountered this. If worst came to worst—crush the Seal-Opening Talisman and transform into a slaughter demon!
Moreover, after obtaining the Difficult to Collect Blade modification stone, Jun Changxiao still hadn’t upgraded it, also considering whether the third form could hold up in the Upper Realm. Now with so many people, it was perfect for testing!
“What if it doesn’t work?” the system said.
“No problem.”
Jun Changxiao said: “I still have the Escape Talisman and Flight Talisman from the gift package to use.”
“…”
The system fell silent.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
More Moon Burial Pavilion members surged from all directions outside the city. Some were powerful in strength, some controlled flying treasures. In a short time, the number gathering above the street broke through from hundreds to over a thousand. The merged demonic energy pressing down made the city’s residents tremble with fear.
When the Demon Affinity Land opened, it would inevitably stir up new bloodshed, but who could have thought that it hadn’t even opened yet and the performance had already begun.
“The more who come.”
Jun Changxiao toyed with the Difficult to Collect Blade, thinking: “The more will die.”
