Within Demon Affinity City, Moon Burial Pavilion warriors gathered more and more. From the current situation, it seemed there was a possibility of reaching ten thousand.
Powerful demonic energy enveloped the entire city, making the melon-eating crowd inside immediately realize that soon, a bloody storm would unfold!
What to do!
Naturally, flee quickly!
Thus, as the Moon Burial Pavilion’s forces flew in, internal warriors rushed toward the city outskirts, afraid of being caught in the crossfire when fighting started.
Jun Changxiao sat on the street, his hands constantly toying with the Difficult to Collect Blade.
At this moment, he urgently hoped the Moon Burial Pavilion would send even more members, because if he annihilated them all and word spread through the Upper Realm, he might gain quite a lot of reputation points.
Moreover.
Using the Difficult to Collect Blade when people were few would be a loss—only using it when people were many could be called profitable!
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and the others stood behind their Sect Master. Facing the siege of thousands of Moon Burial Pavilion members, not only did they show no fear, but instead displayed calm smiles.
“This mental state.”
Gu Zhaoxi secretly praised: “Too strong!”
If he had witnessed Jun Changxiao using the Difficult to Collect Blade to slaughter massively, he would definitely also appear very composed.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Violent demonic energy crisscrossed within the city—a great battle could be triggered at any moment!
“Boy.”
One Moon Burial Pavilion Nine Revolutions expert said coldly: “Release Helmsman Lu and you can keep your whole corpse.”
“Heh.”
Jun Changxiao sneered: “Release him if you want, but kneel down and kowtow.”
That Nine Revolutions expert’s eyes immediately filled with intense killing intent, and he angrily said: “Ignorant fool!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The Moon Burial Pavilion members gathered above all released their cultivation. That intense demonic energy became even more concentrated, as if transforming into roaring malicious ghosts pressing down.
When one’s side had many people, momentum suppression was most effective.
If the Ten Thousand Ancient Sect’s hundred thousand disciples were here, they would definitely also release their aura to suppress the target. Otherwise, how could they demonstrate strength in numbers?
“Tch.”
Jun Changxiao scoffed dismissively.
Big scenes—he’d seen them before.
If they could intimidate himself and his disciples with just momentum, wouldn’t that make the deceased Sect Master Wang a laughingstock in heaven!
Jun Changxiao had a hostage in hand. Although the Moon Burial Pavilion gathered more and more, they didn’t immediately act, so both sides were obviously in a brief standoff.
However.
Just waiting around definitely wouldn’t solve the problem.
So after several Nine Revolutions experts exchanged glances, they immediately decided on a plan of two creating diversions and two snatching the person.
However, just as they were preparing to act, just as Jun Changxiao was about to crush the Seal-Opening Talisman, the sound of ‘tap tap’ footsteps came from the passageway at the city gate.
In an environment of demonic energy and cold wind howling, the sound was originally very faint, but as if containing some kind of power, it penetrated everyone’s eardrums, merged into the depths of their hearts, suddenly becoming very rhythmic and very crisp and clear.
Everyone unconsciously turned their heads to look.
“Tap!”
“Tap!”
Footsteps still came from the dark passageway opening.
Shortly, a middle-aged man wearing somewhat tattered long robes and disheveled hair walked out.
This person had a haggard face and carried a stone coffin on his back, bound with heavy iron chains and special talismans, looking quite frightening.
“The Corpse Carrier!”
Gu Zhaoxi’s gaze turned grave: “Liu Sinan!”
At these words, the expressions of the Moon Burial Pavilion members gathered above all changed dramatically, showing fearful looks, including the four Nine Revolutions Core Revolution Realm experts!
“Cough cough!”
The haggard middle-aged man gently took out a handkerchief, then covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his voice desolate: “Such heavy demonic energy.”
The handkerchief was embroidered with exquisite patterns, obviously belonging to a woman.
Seeing this, Jun Changxiao felt a chill rise in his heart: “This guy doesn’t have some special fetish, does he?”
“I heard the storyteller say,” Gu Zhaoxi said, “The delicate handkerchief Liu Sinan carries with him was used by his deceased wife during her lifetime.”
Jun Changxiao said in surprise: “Aren’t Upper Realm warriors all single dogs?”
“He had a wife.”
Gu Zhaoxi borrowed an angle to look toward the stone coffin, his gaze grave: “Later for some unknown reason she passed away and was sealed in a stone coffin made of special materials. He carries it on his back at all times, wandering the world, which is why he’s also called the Corpse Carrier.”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened: “This guy really does have a special fetish!”
“Young man.”
Just then, Liu Sinan standing at the city gate corrected: “My deeply beloved wife is still alive, just temporarily fallen into slumber. One day she will awaken and accompany me forever.”
“…”
Gu Zhaoxi fell silent.
His wife had clearly already died, yet he still deceived himself. Worthy of being called the Upper Realm’s most devoted man.
“Old brother.”
Jun Changxiao said: “The Moon Burial Pavilion people seem very afraid of him.”
“That’s because of his other identity.”
“What identity?”
“The greatest nemesis of demonic practitioners, one of the Boundary Hall’s three great Demon Exterminators.”
“Demon Exterminator?”
“This is a special profession existing within the Boundary Hall. They don’t listen to the Hall Master’s orders. Their daily task has only one purpose—to eliminate demonic cultivators who have lost all conscience and commit evil deeds.”
Jun Changxiao understood.
“Old brother.”
Gu Zhaoxi said: “This person has probably already stepped into the Truth-Seeking Realm.”
“This strong?” Jun Changxiao said in surprise.
Previously when the various clans surrounded the Ten Thousand Ancient Sect, the Boundary Hall also sent people over, but they acted meek before Master, making him think they had no ability. Turned out a Demon Exterminator had Truth-Seeking Realm cultivation!
The system said: “The Boundary Hall governs the Upper Realm. If they didn’t have some strong combat power, how would they have existed for so long?”
“True.”
Jun Changxiao’s impression of the Boundary Hall changed, thinking this was similar to Navy Headquarters—who knows, one day several Admiral-level powerhouses might emerge.
“Young man.”
Liu Sinan looked at him and said: “Since you’re Lingyao Female Emperor’s person, I naturally won’t let you be bullied.”
“Uh…”
Jun Changxiao was somewhat dumbfounded.
A casual scheme, and this guy believed it?
Gou Sheng’s brain reacted extremely fast. He hurriedly straightened his chest: “For this opening of the Demon Affinity Land, the Boundary Hall worried demonic people would cause trouble, so they specially sent me over to maintain stability!”
“I see.”
Liu Sinan’s eyes showed a trace of understanding.
Although he was a Boundary Hall person, having spent years outside punishing utterly evil demonic cultivators, he naturally found it temporarily difficult to discern Jun Changxiao’s true identity.
Of course.
This wasn’t important. What was important was that this boy was surrounded by the Moon Burial Pavilion he’d been investigating, and from either a colleague’s perspective or an outsider’s perspective, he had to help him break the siege, because this was truly…
“Boom!”
The heavy stone coffin fell to the ground. A cloak embroidered with the two characters ‘Chivalrous Righteousness’ floated gracefully onto his back. His hands pulled his disheveled black hair up, his haggard face immediately becoming spirited.
“Demon Exterminator Liu Sinan here to enforce the law—demonic evildoers, surrender quickly!”
Silence.
Complete silence.
Because… just as he was changing his appearance, the Moon Burial Pavilion members gathered above the street, including the four Nine Revolutions Core Revolution Realm experts, had already disappeared without a trace.
“…”
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
Big brother, when catching people, can you not pose!
“Think they can escape?”
Liu Sinan smiled coldly. His hands formed fists and violently smashed toward the void. With a ‘bang’ sound, space immediately rippled, rapidly enveloping the entire Demon Affinity City, weaving into a pot-shaped streaming light barrier.
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.
“Just as the storyteller said!” Gu Zhaonan said in shock: “This guy has a Spatial Spirit and can rapidly seal off an area of heaven and earth!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao thought inwardly: “Old brother, where exactly is this storyteller you speak of? I really want to go visit him now!”
“Swish!”
Liu Sinan spread both hands as if grasping space, then forcefully brought his hands together. The barrier permeating the city rapidly constricted, binding thousands of fleeing Moon Burial Pavilion members together, faces pressed against faces, buttocks pressed against buttocks, squeezed tight.
Jun Changxiao exclaimed: “Awesome!”
