Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

It was as if a candle had been blown out.

The soul fire in the hard skull of the three-headed silver-bone hell demon suddenly stopped beating and annihilated into nothingness.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +32]

[Demon Points +36]

……

The shed blood, demon essence, and demon pill were all obtained in an instant.

dong dong dong~
The skeletal corpse of the three-headed silver-bone purgatory bone demon fell heavily back into the magma, splashing a large amount of hot lava.

Swish!
Gu Zheng magically wrapped the Killing Heaven Halberd, immersed it into the magma, and moved closer to the sensed energy ball.

The scorching heat touched the Killing Heaven Halberd, but the latter showed no abnormality.

Under Gu Zheng's control, it descended rapidly until it came into contact with the accumulated energy ball.

Instantly, the Sky-Slaying Halberd trembled.

Gu Zheng clearly sensed that the body of the Killing Heaven Halberd seemed to have opened a giant mouth, continuously absorbing energy.

Fire soul!

The Fire Soul, which is located deep in the magma and contains the origin of fire, at this moment, allows the Sky-Slaying Halberd to absorb it and repair its broken core.

Gu Zheng could sense the aura of the Killing Heaven Halberd slowly rising without even looking.

After about half a minute, the suction stopped, and a tiny corner in the core area of ​​the small space inside the Killing Heaven Halberd was repaired.

Although this repair is insignificant compared to the entire core, it is a good start.

Only when the core repair is completed can the spirit of the magic weapon be reborn!
shuh~
The magma surged, and the Sky-Slaying Halberd broke away from the boiling lava and floated in the air, with no change at all.

Gu Zheng was not in a hurry to grab it in his hand. Instead, he used his mind to control the Killing Heaven Halberd to float to the side, fly upwards, and leave the crater.

During the ascent, he saw the Infernal Bone Demon in the caves in the surrounding rock walls and swung his Sky-Slaying Halberd.

Chi chi chi~
The blazing light swept across, cutting and slashing.

The white bones and iron-boned purgatory bone demons didn't have time to react before their soul fires were extinguished.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +9]

[Demon Points +13]

……

After collecting hundreds of demon points, Gu Zheng escaped from the crater.

Standing in the air, facing the hot, pungent mountain wind filled with volcanic ash, looking around, rushing towards the second volcano and entering the crater.

The fire spirit is located in the magma.

Perhaps, there is a fire spirit in the lava at the bottom of every crater?
Gu Zheng decided to find out.

There are hundreds of volcanoes in this area.

More than half of them are active volcanoes.

The sky in this area was dark and thick with clouds that never dispersed.

And the facts proved that Gu Zheng’s exploration was correct!
He entered one crater after another, killed the Purgatory Bone Demons, and harvested demon points. At the same time, he sensed the existence of the Fire Soul and found eleven energy groups emitting the aura of the Fire Soul.

Gu Zheng controlled the Killing Heaven Halberd and absorbed all of these energy balls, causing the broken core of the magic weapon to finally be repaired by one percent.

Even though it’s only one percent, at this rate, if there are no accidents, it will take at most one month to repair half of it.

Unfortunately, Gu Zheng kept killing the Purgatory Bone Demons, which led to the emergence of a fourth-level golden-bone Purgatory Bone Demon.

Immediately, his figure flashed, and his speed exploded to the extreme, flying back to the channel between the two worlds.

……

Come out of the passage.

Gu Zheng was preparing to continue rushing to Hengzhou, but the demon-slaying seal on his body vibrated for a while.

He took out the seal, read the information, and found that there were many people being summoned.

Meng Taiqi, Xie Bisheng, Xiao Xianya, Zuo Lingfeng, Zhuge Tianxing, Zhao Daniu...

Even the Demon Slaying Division's Grand Inspector General, Xu Jianzhu, was summoned.

The content of everyone’s message is similar.

One is congratulations, the other is praise.

"Do all the upper echelons of Jing Country know that I've been breaking into third-level passages?"

"Prince Jing and Zhong Yi even conferred the title of Marquis on my father for this? Marquis of Qingshi County?"

"What does Zhong Yi want to do?"

Gu Zheng frowned.

When it comes to conferring a title of nobility, instead of conferring the title of marquis on Gu Sihai, is it because they are afraid that his contributions are too great and there will be no more titles to be accorded to him later?

The problem is that leveling the third-level channel does not mean completely blocking the channel, so the achievement is not great enough to be awarded a title of nobility.

Of course, it could also be that all previous achievements have been accumulated together.

Or maybe they saw that his cultivation progressed too quickly and they were afraid that Gu Zheng would be poached by other vassal states, so they directly made him a marquis, intending to pay a huge sum of money for his bones!
As for the reason why it was given to Gu Sihai, the reason was very simple.

Gu Zheng is too powerful and can leave at any time, so even a marquis cannot tie him down.

But for Gu Sihai, an ordinary martial artist, to be granted a title of nobility was a great event that would bring honor to his family!
The entire Qingshi County is a fiefdom.

Gu Sihai is still unhappy and happy to death?

His father is in Jingguo. As Gu Zheng's son, where can he go even if he leaves?

Even if we really move away, we still have Gu Sihai as a bond, right?

I roughly went through the cause and effect.

Gu Zheng laughed twice, "As expected of you, you are the King!"

A simple title of nobility was enough to make him the master of the land.

Zhong Yi is not at the king level.

Who will be the leader of the Zhong family is chosen based on comprehensive considerations and the most suitable person, not the person with the strongest realm.

"Marquis Qingshi, let's call him Marquis Qingshi."

Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, Gu Zheng responded with a sense of spiritual power as he replied to messages from Meng Taiqi, Xie Bisheng, Zuo Lingfeng and others.

Then, he put away the demon-slaying seal and rushed to Hengzhou.

……

There are two three-level passages in Hengzhou.

On the other side of the first passage, the demon world area is a wetland.

After Gu Zheng arrived in Hengzhou, he first looked for Huang Dajin and visited the commander of the Hengzhou Demon Slaying Division, and had a meal with him while he was teased by the latter.

Then, Huang Dajin led the way and guided Gu Zheng into the first passage.

The monsters in the wetland area are mainly poisonous frogs, phantom thousand-hand monsters, and white-skinned snake monsters.

Among them, the most difficult one is the Phantom Thousand-Handed Demon, who possesses terrifying illusion and dream-creating abilities. People with weak mental strength won't even know when they are falling into an illusion.

Only by entering the super-physical realm can one barely contend.

But the super-physical realm is still no match for the second-level Phantom Thousand-Handed Demon.

The second most difficult to deal with is the white-skinned snake demon. This demon has no scales, but has strong defense because its skin membrane is extremely resilient, and can bounce off all magical attacks and weapons.

These two types of monsters pose the greatest threat to the channel.

However, for Gu Zheng, it’s not a problem.

With the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils opened, the Phantom Thousand-Handed Demon's illusions and illusions had no chance to work at all. Gu Zheng locked onto the real body in the first possible moment and killed it easily.

The white-skinned snake demons are even simpler. With the blessing of the spatial sword intent, three hundred and sixty blades appear directly in their heads, cutting through their skulls and drilling out.

Even though there were a large number of poisonous frogs that liked to hide in the mud, they were killed in large numbers with just one strike of the Broken Sky Sword.

By the time a fourth-level poisonous stinger frog rushed out from the depths of the wetland, Gu Zheng had already harvested more than 6,000 demon points and ran back to the passage in advance.

We rested for a night in a nearby county town outside the passage.

The next day, Gu Zheng rushed to the second third-level passage.

On the other side of this passage, the demon world area is a vast mountain forest with giant trees hundreds of meters high everywhere.

Thick fallen leaves laid layer upon layer.

The main active demon is a kind of demon ape, a two-faced demon ape!

There is a ferocious face on the front and back of the head. As long as it is an adult, each demon ape is five meters tall, comparable to a second-level existence in the super-physical realm.

This kind of monster possesses terrifying strength. If a second-level super-physical realm monster is hit by a punch, it will be crippled if not killed.

Gu Zheng naturally would not compete with them in strength.

The Heaven-Slaying Halberd swung, and he killed as many of the first- and second-level two-faced demon apes as he could find. Even if he encountered a third-level two-faced demon ape, he would at most put in a little effort, and then split it in half with the halberd.

By the time the fourth-level two-faced demon ape heard the noise and ran out roaring, Gu Zheng had already obtained four thousand demon points and two demon pills.

……

After passing the Hengzhou third-level passage, the next step is Guangzhou.

There are three three-step passages in Gwangju.

This includes the Dahuashan Passage that Gu Zheng visited.

On the other side of the Dahuashan Passage, electric monsters and thunder monsters are the main active creatures.

Gu Zheng plans to go again to see if he can find the "Thunder Spirit".

To repair the core of the Killing Heaven Halberd, both the Thunder Spirit and the Fire Spirit are indispensable.

Not half and half, but almost.

The birth of "Thunder Spirit" also depends on special circumstances.

Unexpectedly, just after leaving Hengzhou, Gu Zheng suddenly received a telepathic message from Yin Nu and Jia Shisan.

"Master, King Lieshan killed Princess Liu Ying!"

Um? ?

Jia Shisan, who comes from a family of half-demon killers called Ghost Shadow Lizards, was taken in by Gu Zheng in the north of Fengzhou. Gu Zheng had him hiding in Changying Mansion and observing the movements in Lieshan Palace.

The sudden message and the news really surprised Gu Zheng.

Immediately, Gu Zheng stopped, stood in the air, and asked in his heart.

"what happened?"

Jia Shisan, "I don't know the specific reason, but what is certain is that King Lieshan killed Liu Ying himself. He also burned the body cleanly without leaving any residue."

What are King Lieshan and Zhong Zhengtang doing?
Are you annoyed by the infighting between the two princesses?

Finally couldn't stand it anymore and just killed one?
Just as he was wondering, Jia Shisan sent another telepathic message, "Master, something is wrong with King Lieshan. According to my secret observations during this period of time, this prince of the Zhong family is very strange and very wrong!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng asked back.

"..." Jia Shisan paused for a moment and begged for punishment, "Master, please punish me. I can't tell you what happened specifically, but intuitively, King Lieshan gave me a feeling that something was wrong."

"Owner!!"

Suddenly, another telepathic message sounded in Gu Zheng's heart.

"Master! The incarnation of the evil god has been found. He is Zhong..."

The follow-up came to an abrupt end.

Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat and his eyes lit up.

"Tang Qiyun! Tang Qiyun?"

The second thought that suddenly delivered the message came from Tang Qiyun.

This guardian of the evil cult, a general in the Fengzhou army, was taken in as an Indian slave by Gu Zheng, who then changed his appearance and made him active in the central and northern parts of Fengzhou in an effort to find the incarnation of the evil god or lure him out.

Before this, there had been no movement, but now the message was suddenly passed on, but only half of it was passed on and then there was no sound.

The Seal of the Dark Heart Slave is the equipment effect of Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng knew best the connection between Yin Nu and him.

Tang Qiyun had only delivered half of the message and received no response when asked. Gu Zheng forced himself to calm down and sense it for a while.

It is confirmed that Tang Qiyun, the Indian slave, is dead!
And the result is the destruction of the soul!

Who killed him?

"The incarnation of the evil god has been found, it's Zhong..."

"What's the clock?"

Thinking of Jia Shisan’s report just now, Gu Zheng felt a sudden chill down his spine.

Zhong Zhengtang!
The big-headed evil god who had secretly descended before the heavenly change and existed in the world as an incarnation, took over the bodies of King Lieshan and Zhong Zhengtang! ?
If this is true, then the death of Princess Liu Ying can be explained.

Most likely Liu Ying discovered Zhong Zhengtang's secret, so she was silenced.

Jia Shisan said that something was wrong with Zhong Zhengtang, but he couldn't explain it specifically, but it made sense.

Including when Sifang City fell, after Zhong Tianlang entered the underground, he seemed to have made up his mind and headed straight for the depths of the underground, causing the center of the rule formation to be broken by Gu Zheng, and he almost didn't have time to run back to the surface.

It was no accident that Zhong Tianlang got the instruction from Zhong Zhengtang!

As an evil god, "Zhong Zhengtang" naturally knows some secrets.

Mind this.

Gu Zheng calmed his mind and told Jia Shisan, "You don't have to stay in Changying City anymore, and you don't have to pay attention to Lieshan Palace anymore. Leave there immediately and go to Nanyun Prefecture or Qingshi County, and stay in the dark to protect the Gu family!"

"Yes, Master!"

Jia Shisan responded quickly.

Judging from the tone, he seemed relieved?

Gu Zheng ignored it.

Instead, he took out the demon-slaying seal, and with supernatural power, he sent a message to Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng, asking about their whereabouts.

The Demon Slayer Division has been taking action to find the incarnation of the evil god.

The specific person in charge is Xie Bisheng.

General Xie was in the north at the moment. After Gu Zheng learned his location, he asked him to wait for a while.

Afterwards, he sent a message to Meng Taiqi, informing him that King Lieshan and Zhong Zhengtang were the incarnations of the evil god.

buzz~
The demon-slaying seal vibrates.

Gu Zheng read the message and found it was Meng Taiqi's reply. He asked in astonishment, "Are you sure?!"

"Ninety-nine percent sure!" Gu Zheng replied quickly.

buzz~
The Great Seal vibrates.

Meng Taiqi, "I'll go to the north right away, wait for me!"

The news that King Lieshan and Zhong Zhengtang are the incarnations of evil gods is too shocking.

How could Montaqi stay in the headquarters and sit still?

Gu Zheng read the message and did not try to persuade him.

The incarnation of the evil god has secretly descended for several years, so his strength must be extremely powerful.

It’s not a king body, but it’s also half a king.

The key lies in the identity of the host, King Lieshan and Zhong Zhengtang!

The Zhong family is still the prince with real power.

If you want to take action, you have to be cautious.

The main thing was that he couldn't be 100% sure.

Although Jia Shisan suspected that Princess Liu Ying was murdered, Tang Qiyun only told half of it.

In this situation, Gu Zheng couldn't tell Zhong Yi.

If we make a mistake, it would be slandering a prince!
However, considering the thorniness of this matter.

Gu Zheng was still filled with spiritual power, and sent a message to the Demon Slaying Division's Chief Inspector Zheng and Xu Jianzhu through the Demon Slaying Seal.

Xu Jianzhu also has the king body, and is the immediate superior of everyone in the Demon Slaying Division.

buzz~
Less than two breaths after the message was sent, it was replied.

Gu Zheng read, "Are you sure!?"

"Ninety-nine percent sure." Gu Zheng replied.

buzz~
The reply was also quick, "Don't rush to act, I'll be there soon."

Gu Zheng, "Okay."

It's stable now.

Xu Jianzhu went to Fengzhou in person.

Even if they were wrong in the end and the incarnation of the evil god was not Zhong Zhengtang, Xu Jianzhu, his immediate superior, would have to bear the consequences.

cough~
……

Go high in the sky and fly through the air in a straight line.

When we arrived in the north of Fengzhou and found Xie Bisheng.

Montaqi had already arrived one step ahead.

Seeing Gu Zheng land, he asked anxiously, "What happened? And, Ping An, how did you know that Zhong Zhengtang became the incarnation of the evil god? Could you have made a mistake?"

"One word."

Xie Bisheng kept a sullen face as usual, glanced at Meng Taiqi, and said coldly, "Will Ping An trick us?" (End of this chapter)
