Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Outside the royal capital.

Southwest, on a mountain sixty miles away.

"Who was that just now?"

Xiao Xianya raised his head and looked towards the direction of the capital, exclaiming, "Too amazing! He killed an evil god with one punch..."

"It's the evil god's clone."

Nangong Yaoyue corrected, "A true evil god is not comparable to a king body realm. Not to mention destroying him, he can't even fight him. He was killed in one encounter. Unless the evil god is deliberately keeping him for fun."

"and……"

After a pause, Nangong Yaoyue frowned and said, "The evil god's clone that descended on the capital seems to be a little weak."

“Is this still low?”

Xiao Xianya's eyes widened. "The lightning that fell from the sky just now illuminated half the sky. With such power, is it still low?"

"It's not that strong."

Dongfang He interrupted, "The one who performed the Great Sun Divine Fist was King Kaoshan, the second strongest man in the Zhong family. Although he is at the King Body level, it is not easy to kill an evil god clone easily. Unless this evil god clone is not even at the fourth level!"

"A third-level evil god clone?"

Xiao Xianya was puzzled. "The Yong family of Yue State spent so much energy, manpower and material resources to invite the gods to descend, but they only invited a third-level evil god clone?"

“Normally, it’s definitely more than level three.” Nangong Yaoyue analyzed, “There must have been an incident in the city, which caused the Yong family’s plan to go awry. In the end, the evil god’s clone that was invited down was only level three.”

"That's probably the case!"

Xiao Xianya was certain, "Otherwise, it can't be explained."

"Oh right, now that the evil god's clone has been killed and King Kaoshan has returned to the capital, the chaos should stop, right? Shall we go back?"

“Wait a little longer.” Nangong Yaoyue shook her head slightly. “The Yong family has escaped, and the corpses they brought with them are likely to still be left. Let’s wait for another half a day until the corpses are almost cleared, and then we can go back to the city.”

Hearing this, Xiao Xianya nodded in support.

"Alright."

……

……

In the royal capital.

In a ruin not far from the royal city, Gu Zheng adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind.

A little bit of demonic points can break through to the level of the Heroic Body - Furnace.

It's really surprising.

However, Gu Zheng did not add points immediately to complete the breakthrough.

Because the breakthrough will cause a lot of noise.

However, at this moment, inside and outside the royal city, the masters of the Zhong family were searching everywhere for the Yong family of the Yue Kingdom.

Gu Zheng's breakthrough at this time was too conspicuous.

The main reason is that there is no other excuse to cover up the reason for the breakthrough.

Before this, they either relied on the opportunities of the field or the opportunities of the demon world.

This time we are in the city, where did the opportunity come from?

It takes others decades or even decades to cross a stage.

Gu Zheng achieved a breakthrough in less than two months?
Too conspicuous.

It won’t be too late to make a breakthrough after we get back.

to this end.

Gu Zheng changed his clothes and put on the Great Sun Armor. At this time, it would be safer to show his identity as a member of Jing Kingdom.

Find Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing and ask them to follow behind.

These two guys were undercover agents, but now they are Indian slaves. It would be a bit of a waste to catch them and kill them.

It would be different if you carry it with you and have Gu Zheng as your guarantor.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Gu Zheng took the two of them out of the city first.

The purpose is to track down the escaped Yong family members.

When passing by a ruin——

[Discover equipable items]

【Evil Thunder Essence】

[Equipment conditions: Three elements in one]

[Equipment Effect: Lightning Universe]

[Lightning Universe: The dance of thunder is everywhere, the lightning falls to the ground, reaching everywhere]

[Equip or not? 】

Ok?
New equipment!
Finally I came across an equipable item again.

Gu Zheng was surprised.

Stop, look around, and search for your target.

The equipment is called "Evil Thunder Essence", which is probably related to the evil god and Galero who came across the boundary to become a clone.

After the evil god's clone was blown up by a punch, only a small spot of light was left.

The "evil thunder essence" is most likely those light spots!
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng opened his Fiery Eyes and scanned the surrounding ruins.

The next moment, I saw a translucent crystal as big as a little finger nail lying in the soil pit. There was no light emanating from the surface. Even if I got closer or walked past it, I would not notice it.

I can't feel anything when I step on it.

The truth is, this crystal does not have any energy or breath at all.

If Gu Zheng hadn't had his sharp eyes to scan, he wouldn't have been able to find it.

I walked over slowly and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention.

Soul capturing!

After absorbing the crystal from a distance and storing it in the storage leaf, Gu Zheng continued to move forward with Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing.

When they arrived at the west gate of the city, as expected, there were already people from the Zhong family who were in the Haoti realm guarding it.

"who!"

With a low shout, Gu Zheng and the other two were blocked.

"Master Chen, it's me."

Gu Zheng clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Wuji who was standing on the city wall.

"It turned out to be Gu Xiaoyou."

Chen Wuji heard the greeting and turned sideways to clasp his fists in the air, "Young friend Gu, are you leaving the city?"

Without waiting for Gu Zheng to speak, he continued, "The king has ordered that in the next month, only people can enter but not leave, and no one is exempted."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't receive the message. I left the city to look for Zuo Lingfeng, Xiao Xianya and the others. I searched the city for a long time but couldn't find them."

"Master Chen also knows that the will of heaven is in disorder and the power of heaven and earth is disturbed. It is like being stuck in a quagmire. Information cannot be transmitted and one can only find it by himself."

"Since the king has given the order, I will not disturb you any more and will return to Lord Zhuge's residence now."

"By the way, Master Chen, is Master Zhuge okay?"

Remembering something, Gu Zheng asked finally.

"It's okay, I just got a little injured. I'm also searching for the rats in the Yong family now." Chen Wuji said softly.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Gu Zheng clasped his fists, "The Yong family of Yue State has targeted the capital this time, killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are worse than beasts. I, Gu, can't wait to find them! I am willing to contribute and join the search team..."

"Okay, this is the general of my Demon-Slaying Division." Xu Jianzhu walked slowly in the air and said loudly.

"See my lord!"

Gu Zheng hurriedly bowed.

Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing also bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Xu Jianzhu raised his hand, glanced at Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing, and said calmly, "The demonized corpse qi of the Yong family is a little special. Once you touch it, it is quite troublesome to clear it. Be careful when searching."

"Yes!"

Gu Zheng responded, "I'll take my leave."

Having said that, he stepped back and left.

Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing immediately followed behind.

A group of three people quickly moved away from the city wall.

From beginning to end, Chen Wuji and Xu Jianzhu never doubted Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing.

Because the armor the two men were wearing, one was from the Demon Slaying Division, and the other was from the City Defense Division.

Yong Chuanxing did not practice the Yong family's real skills, but the aura on his body was extremely pure.

Those members of the Yong family who could be recognized at a glance had a faint smell of corpses on them.

The two managed to escape.

Deep down in her heart, she sent a telepathic message to Gu Zheng, expressing her gratitude endlessly.

Without Gu Zheng, they wouldn't be so calm.

Gu Zheng told them to shut up.

The Zhong family responded quickly.

The entire city will be blocked immediately, no one is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave!

It was clear that everyone in the city had to be investigated, leaving no undercover agent from Yue State behind.

Gu Zheng was not in a hurry.

After Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing showed their faces just now, they will be fine as long as they don't reveal themselves.

And since he had made it clear that he was willing to help with the search, Gu Zheng first went back to Zhuge Mansion and asked Butler Liu and other servants to come out of the cellar.

Then, Zhou Wanghai and Yong Chuanxing were dismissed and returned to their respective teams.

Gu Zheng walked alone on the street, among the ruins, searching for the rats in the Yong family.

Undercover and zombies!

Mainly corpse puppets.

Killing corpse puppets can gain demon points.

As for being an undercover agent, Gu Zheng was not interested.

This time, in order to compete for the throne, the Yue State sneaked into the capital of the Jing State and created a bloody incident that affected the entire city, killing at least 200,000 people.

The Zhong family will definitely take revenge after suffering such a loss!

Or severe revenge!
I will never be satisfied unless I kill everyone and destroy a city.

By then, the people who will die the most will be the common people below...

……

Call ~
Strong wind strikes.

A corpse puppet suddenly rushed out from the darkness and pounced on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng, who was about to release the blade, paused, moved his body to avoid the corpse puppet, took out the Chiyuan Sword and performed sword skills.

laugh!laugh!
The blade brought up a sharp aura, leaving a series of hideous wounds on the corpse puppet.

The corpse puppet didn't feel anything and waved its claws to attack again.

Mysterious corpse!

shuh~
Gu Zheng's supernatural powers surged and he increased his strength.

Puff puff!
The knife flashed blindingly, and a hideous head, two arms, and two thighs fell to the ground, leaving only the torso of the corpse bouncing on the ground.

After waiting for a while, the soul was captured!
[Demon Points +5]

The harvest is in hand, keep moving forward.

Along the way, I met people from the Demon Slayer Division, the Sky Monitoring Division, the Dragon Protection Division, the Divine Capture Division, and the City Defense Division...

In addition to the major government agencies, they are searching everywhere for undercover agents, members of the Yong family, and corpse puppets.

There was not a single living person on the street.

The commotion just now caused the people to continue hiding, not daring to show their heads or say a word.

The government office did not beat drums or gongs to let the people come out.

The corpse puppets have not been cleaned up yet, and there may be some left by the Yong family.

The danger still exists.

……

Chi Chi!

The Chiyuan Sword carried a burning breath and slashed three times, cutting off a head, two arms, and two thighs.

dong dong dong~
The torso bounced a bit.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +1]

Chi chi chi~!

Without stopping, Gu Zheng moved his body as he shuttled among a group of zombies.

The blade flashed, the blade became a line, cutting and sweeping, chopping off heads and arms. Soul-stealing! Soul-stealing!
[Demon Points +1]

[Demon Points +1]

"Gu...Brother Gu, thank...thank you." Zhao Danniu slumped down on the ruins, gasping for breath, adjusting her breath, and expressing her gratitude.

puff!
Gu Zheng chopped off the last corpse's head, and the remaining body bounced on the ground. He completed the soul capture, turned around and looked at Zhao Danniu, and said softly, "It's just a matter of convenience. How are you, Sister Zhao? Can you still hold on? I have a healing pill here..."

"No... no need!"

Zhao Danniu shook her head slightly, "I... I'm not seriously injured, I just... I'm just exhausted."

Hearing this, Gu Zheng smiled, put away his knife, and clasped his fists, "Then Sister Zhao, continue to rest. I'll go around and see if there are any more corpses hiding."

"Little...be careful." Zhao Danniu tried her best to pronounce the words.

"Okay." Gu Zheng responded and walked out of the ruins.

When I was patrolling here just now, I encountered a group of zombies besieging Zhao Danniu.

Zhao Danniu, who was originally in the Heroic Body Realm, had previously fought a battle with an Earth Corpse and it took her a long time to finally kill it successfully.

Later, he had a fierce battle with a hero from the Yong family.

He had exhausted all his physical strength and supernatural powers, and was besieged by the zombies and almost lost his life.

Gu Zheng passed by and rescued him.

Huang Dajin, Jiang Hao and Zhao Danniu, these three people took on the task of maintaining order.

Gu Zheng encountered them one after another and saved Huang Dajin and Zhao Daniu, but Jiang Hao died...

shook his head.

Gu Zheng put aside his distracting thoughts and continued searching.

On the way, I encountered three corpse puppets. Although they were spiritual corpses, I also gained 3 demon points by killing them.

After that, there were no more corpse puppets, but the people who fell in the ruins and were trapped in the collapsed basements heard the sounds and saved hundreds of people.

Another rescue...

"Brother Gu, I finally found you."

Shouts of surprise were heard, and Qing Yixiao and Qing Yimei, the brother and sister, appeared from the street and trotted towards Gu Zheng.

"Brother Qing, you haven't left the city yet?"

Gu Zheng picked up a little girl from the ground and put her on the ground. He turned his head and looked at Qing Yixiao, saying casually, "You didn't get out before, and you can't get out now."

"Yes, all the city gates are closed, and flying in the air is prohibited."

Qing Yimei complained, "It's all Fourth Brother's fault. He was dragging his feet before, and now he's trapped in the city."

"Hey, isn't this for safety reasons?" Qing raised his hand with a smile, and said nothing more about himself. He looked at Gu Zheng and said quickly, "Brother Gu, my second sister is looking for you. She said she has something important to tell you."

"Your second sister is looking for me?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Did she say what it was about?"

"No. Humph, she didn't even tell me." Qing Yimei said first, "As for this matter, ordinary people don't need to know. Am I an ordinary person? Humph!"

"...So, you better shut up." Qing Yixiao complained and continued, "Brother Gu, Second Sister never makes trouble for no reason. Since she said it's important, then this matter must be no small matter!"

"……it is good."

Gu Zheng thought about it and nodded, "Wait until I settle these people."

"Let's go together." Qing smiled when he saw this and hurriedly joined hands.

Qing Yimei also stepped forward to help.

After a while.

The three of them flew away amid the thanksgiving of the people.

Qing Yixiao led the way and headed straight to the bank of a river.

After waiting for a while, Qing Yichan and Qing Yiran arrived one after another.

"Brother Gu!"

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for saving my fourth brother and seventh sister."

Qing Yichan clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude solemnly. Then, without further ado, he got straight to the point and said, "I asked Brother Gu to come here because I want to repay you for saving my life. I wonder if Brother Gu has heard of the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm'?"

"Nine-layered Heaven Shadow Realm? Shadow Realm?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Special place?"

"It seems that the Demon Slayer Division did not tell Brother Gu about this." Qing Yichan understood what he said, "The Shadow Realm is not a field. The field is a temporary overlapping zone formed when the demon world invades the real world and the two worlds collide. If it is not eliminated, it will evolve into a channel between the two worlds."

"And the Shadow Realm is the reflection of two worlds!"

"It's not the reflection of the whole thing, but only a part of it. It's a strange space that merges and completely overlaps with each other."

"This strange space is hidden in the void most of the time, suspended above the two worlds. It will only appear at a certain time."

"The Nine-Layered Shadow Realm is like this, it opens once every three thousand years!"

"In the Nine Heavens Shadow Realm, there are various treasures, the most prominent of which is the precious medicine 'Tianmen Snow Lotus'. Its lotus seeds not only contain huge energy, but can also help one comprehend the heaven and earth."

"To put it simply, one Heavenly Lotus Seed is equivalent to five to ten third-level demon pills!"

"So many?" Gu Zheng blurted out.

Gu Zheng had just experienced the effects of the third-level demon pill and was still not satisfied.

There is actually a kind of lotus seed that is five to ten times more effective than lotus seeds.

"Tianmen Snow Lotus?"

After the words fell, Gu Zheng reacted and asked, "Is this 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm' in the Tianmen Mountains?"

"Yes."

Qing Yichan smiled, "The 'Nine Heavens Shadow Region' is in the Tianmen Mountains. Because this shadow region is divided into nine areas, each area is wider and more dangerous than the last, it is named the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Region'."

"As long as they are below the King Body Realm, everyone can enter the Shadow Realm."

"But the entrance to the Shadow Realm is unstable. If too many people enter, the Shadow Realm will be completely detached and fall into the void."

"For this reason, as early as ten thousand years ago, several families who discovered the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm' jointly set rules to limit the number of people entering!"

“At the beginning, each family can enter ten.”

"But as time went on, more and more families knew about the 'Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Realm'. The number of places for each family to enter was forced to be reduced. In the end, our Qingwang family was allocated three places."

"The number of places is limited, but the dangers in the Shadow Realm are not small. Therefore, those who enter the 'Ninth Heaven Shadow Realm' are basically in the Heroic Body Realm."

"Oh, oh, I understand." Qing Yimei couldn't help but shout when she heard this, "There are limited places, only those in the Haoti realm can enter, so those of us who are not in the Haoti realm, you won't tell us, right? So that we won't think too much, right?"

“Since you know, just shut up.” Qing Yiran said unhappily.

He is not qualified to enter either.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t have the strength.

The others are all strong men, so he would just die if he went.

"We in the Qingwang family have always been grateful for what we have received, and we hate owing favors to others."

Qing Yichan continued, "Brother Gu saved my fourth brother and seventh sister, and he is also in the Heroic Body Realm. For this reason, we are willing to give up a place to Brother Gu. I wonder if Brother Gu wants to go to the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm'?"

"Miss Qing, can you represent the family?" Gu Zheng asked calmly.

I was not overwhelmed by the news and fell into ecstasy.

"of course can."

Qing Yixiao answered quickly, "Second sister is the next clan leader confirmed by our Qingwang family. She has enough power to give up a position."

The next clan leader?
Gu Zheng was surprised, but also not surprised.

With Qing Yichan's strength, it is reasonable for her to be chosen as the next clan leader.

"Will Miss Qing also enter the 'Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Realm'?" After calming his mind, Gu Zheng asked again.

"Yes." Qing Yichan nodded. "In addition to the Heavenly Lotus Seed, there are also some relics and even ancient heritage in the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm'."

Having said that, how could Gu Zheng not understand the truth?

Immediately, he clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you Miss Qing for thinking highly of me. I am willing to go with you. When will we set off?"

"Three months to go."

Qing Yichan returned the gift and smiled, "Let's add a communication point first, and when the 'Nine Heavens Shadow Realm' is about to open, notify Brother Gu to go together."

"it is good."

Gu strives to obtain the Demon-Slaying Seal and establishes a connection with Qing Yichan.

It is both the heavenly lotus seed and an ancient heritage.

If Gu Zheng refused such a good thing, he would be a fool.

Although he had saved Qing Yixiao and Qing Yimei before, it was also a way to repay the invisible favor of the Qingwang family.

Now, the Qingwang family wants to repay him, and Gu Zheng will not refuse.

The Nine Heavens Shadow Realm, the reflection area of ​​the world.

The Demon Slaying Division has no relevant information about this secret place.

Obviously, the Zhong family concealed it deliberately.

Because the number of places is limited.

Even if it was Gu Zheng, one of the Seven Demon Slayers, he wouldn't get his turn, no matter how talented he was.

The only ones who can go are the descendants of the Zhong family!

……

……

After making an agreement, he said goodbye to Qing Yixiao, Qing Yichan and the other two.

Gu Zheng patrolled the street a few times.

Until the sky returned to normal and the night covering the royal capital turned into daytime again.

Gu Zheng just stopped searching and returned to Zhuge Mansion.

Zhuge Tianxing still didn't go home.

Gu Zheng and Butler Liu gave an order and entered the training room.

First, equip the "Evil Thunder Essence"!
The three-in-one equipment conditions have long been achieved.

The equipment is completed and the effect of the equipment is instantly understood.

Lightning universe: the dance of thunder is everywhere, the lightning falls to the ground, reaching everywhere.

The meaning of this equipment effect is simple.

As long as he has the power of thunder and lightning to pull his body and have an intersection with the present world, Gu Zheng can escape into the void without fear of getting lost.

This kind of escape is not just about traveling through space, but about completely entering the void!
Endless void!

It encompasses the endless void of the demon world, the human world, and the entire world.

The void is dangerous, extremely dangerous.

The most common black storm of nothingness can take the life of a King Body Realm cultivator.

However, "Lightning Universe" can allow Gu Zheng to escape into the void.

After he escaped into the air, even a strong man with a king body couldn't find him or hit him.

As long as the power of thunder and lightning is prevalent in this world, Gu Zheng will be able to return safely without worrying about getting lost in the void.

If he really gets lost, there will be a burst of thunder in the world, and Gu Zheng can also come back with the power of thunder and lightning.

But in that case, the probability is too small and the risk is too great.

To be safer, Gu Zheng can just carry a few thunder stones with him.

Even though thunderstone is rare and expensive.

But compared to escaping into the void, it is worth it no matter how expensive it is!

Because of the equipment effect of "Lightning Universe", even if you encounter the real body of the evil god, you can escape.

"Hoo~!"

Take a deep breath and calm your mind.

After a while, Gu Zheng calmed down and started to add some more.

Consume a little demon point to break through the Haoti Furnace!
Boom~~!

The whole body seemed to explode all of a sudden, and a raging heat wave burst out from the body, sweeping across the entire training room.

The physique, the supernatural power, and the spirit are all refined in sequence.

I do not know how long it has been.

When the breath in his body slowly returned to calm, Gu Zheng opened his eyes.
