Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 127: Demon Extermination Order

Two travelers wearing fur coats and felt clothes, wearing straw hats and carrying bags, were heading north along the foothills of Xuannv Mountain.

The young man walking in front would stop from time to time, grab a handful of soil and smell it, count with his fingers, and then suddenly tiptoe and fly out diagonally like a wild goose. His body was as fast as a flying eagle, and he disappeared from sight after causing a gust of wind.

The girl walking behind with a pot on her back was not in a hurry. She untied the pot and used the Five Elements Taoism. Gui Chen built the stove, Zixia lit firewood, Xuanming stored water, and Chisha started a fire. When the water boiled, she turned her palm, put in a handful of spiritual vegetables, picked up a piece of dried meat, condensed the divine Qi at her fingertips, brushed the slices of meat, and started cooking.

When the meal was almost ready, the young man came back.

Sometimes they would throw down a wild boar and some fresh meat and vegetables, and sometimes they would throw down a few human heads. After the meal was finished, the heads would be cooked, and the skulls would be taken out, strung together with a rope, and wrapped in a leather bag for storage.

The two of them didn't talk much. They just waited until they had enough food and drink, then sat facing each other, put their palms together, and let the curling true Qi evaporate from the top of their heads. You exhaled and I inhaled, the Tao rhythms intertwined, and they practiced together.

They went back and forth like this until they were full of food and drink, their essence and qi were abundant, and they had rested enough. Then they packed up, sharpened their swords, washed the pot, and continued on their journey.

Well, this is the dual cultivation path of Tiedan and Baiyu. It is so plain and simple...

What? Why don't you take off your clothes? Hey, who told you that you have to take off your clothes for dual cultivation? ? Isn't it cold in this cold weather? ?

Ahem, that’s what happened anyway.

Although Xuan Jizi seemed to have let them go and really didn't chase them again, considering that the Saint Girl was doomed to a great disaster, and Tiedan himself was not particularly popular, he was not sure about going to the dragon's den and tiger's den in the Central Plains to experience the disaster. So Tiedan did not change his planned route, and made up his mind to go to Shuofang first, then cross the Kan Kingdom, and finally return to Jiuyin Mountain.

So now Tiedan and Baiyu are inseparable, and after walking for a while, he has finally understood everything.

What is a source of disaster? Zhen Baiyu is a source of disaster. Of course, he may have made contributions as well, but his luck is too abundant and he has been plagued by too many disasters. It is too much, which is not a good thing.

During this short one-month journey, there was a disaster every three steps and a difficulty every five steps. Monsters, evil spirits, rebel soldiers, bandits, mountain people, outsiders, people blocking the road, robbers, sentinels... Almost every two steps there was a person or monster bumping into them, like a magnet, they could not avoid it, and everyone rushed towards them.

When he saw Baiyu, he wanted to snatch it; when he saw Tiedan, he wanted to chop him down. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't move. No matter how he tried to drive him away, he couldn't get rid of him. So Tiedan became very annoyed.

Do it, no matter what, it’s better to strike first.

As long as there was a living thing that entered the range of his spiritual awareness, he would rush forward and strike it with three consecutive swords, killing it all. After killing them all, he would come back to practice dual cultivation with Bai Yu, recover his blood and energy, and continue. In this way, he would kill one person every ten steps, and quickly pass through the calamity all the way, killing, killing, killing, killing without stopping.

"Big brother..."

So after walking together for about a month, Bai Yu finally couldn't help but question.

“Is this the right path we’ve chosen?”

Tiedan: "Trust me."

Bai Yu followed his gaze suspiciously and looked into the distance.

In the distance, one can see snow-capped mountains and clouds. Two mountains face each other, their shape is like a gate, and flying geese appear in between.

A majestic pass stands across the mountain gorge. Its wall is two zhang high, with a stone base and brick body, battlements, three entrances, and a brick and stone structure, making it exceptionally majestic and solid.

The left inscription reads, "Three passes are the most important and unrivaled place", and the right inscription reads, "The first pass of Wansai is respected", and the stone plaque above the gate is inscribed with the three characters "Yanmen Pass"...

Bai Yu, "But didn't you say we should go to Shuofang first?"

Tiedan was silent for a moment, "...all the same."

Then he walked down the mountain quickly, and Bai Yu could hardly catch up with him...

In fact, they are almost the same. After all, Tiedan followed the horse manure to find the way, so he could find the border town where the troops were stationed. But how could a horse know how the administrative regions of the Demon Palace were divided, which one was called Shuofang and which one was called Yanmen...

Anyway, it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t affect the overall situation!

Yanmen is fine, let's make some preparations here before leaving. It would be best if we could get a few horses, and then we can go to Beiyuan and go out of the border. Once we reach Yinshan, we will be home...

"Whoosh!"

"Stop whoever comes!"

Tiedan looked at the long arrow shot in front of his feet, and without saying a word, he raised the sword in his hand, and a green light flashed.

A corner of the military flag on the opposite gate tower was cut off by the sword light.

"Mountain people! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The most important thing for a gatekeeper is eyesight, knowing who can be blocked and who cannot. So the soldiers on the gate tower put away their bows and disappeared from the parapet.

Tiedan also put away his sword and nodded to Baiyu, "Let's go into the city."

The frontier is such a place, you have to show the sword in your hand and the murderous intention in your heart, so that everyone can know how strong you are at a glance, and if anyone dares to look at you for a second, they will die, only then you are qualified to stand and talk to others. In this way, Tiedan carried the sword and strode forward, and no one dared to look at him again, so the two of them entered the city smoothly, preparing to go to the government office to hand in the heads to earn some pocket money, then go to the market to buy things, and finally find an inn to rest.

You can't just chop anyone you see while walking on the street, so Tiedan put all his strength into wrapping his body with sword wind, revealing a murderous aura and blood spurting into the sky. With a glance, the dogs on the road didn't dare to bark and passers-by avoided him one after another, which showed how vicious he was.

But even though they put on such ferocious looks, with the added luck of the two human-shaped troublemakers, trouble still happened to them.

"Stay!"

The two stopped, Baiyu raised the pot, Tiedan hugged the sword and looked over, only to see several border town warriors with bows and swords coming from behind. They seemed to be the ones who shot an arrow from the tower before.

The leading centurion asked, "A man from the mountains?"

Tiedan was too lazy to say more, so he held the Xuanjian sword horizontally and showed him the sword energy.

The centurion was also a man who didn't like to talk too much, so he nodded and said,

"Demon extermination order, accept it or not?"

Tiedan's eyes lit up, "Take it."

The other party threw a notice at him, clasped his fists from a distance, and then left with his soldiers.

"Demon extermination order?"

Seeing that Baiyu was curious, Tiedan handed the list to her.

The notice was issued in the name of the general of Yanmen, and it basically said that a huge demon in the Nascent Soul Realm had sneaked into the country. As the garrison commander of Yanmen, the general should have gone there in person to expel it, but now the war was so fierce that he could not leave his post without permission, so he offered a reward for capable people to eliminate the demon.

This kind of demon-eliminating order is actually equivalent to a high-difficulty emergency mission. According to the rules set by the Immortal Lord back then, there are Yuanying realm martial god-level strongmen guarding each place, in order to suppress and kill the local demons that have become spirits and monsters, to prevent these evil demons from growing to the point where they cannot be controlled and become too powerful to be eliminated.

However, the Demon Palace was later corrupted, and the post of guardian was no longer selected based on one's combat prowess but on family background and the sale of official positions. These good-for-nothings also knew their own limitations and would never take the risk to fight big monsters themselves, so they began to frequently issue orders to eliminate monsters and hired heroes from the opposition to do the work.

Of course, this opposition hero actually refers to the people in the mountains.

Yes, although in name the Demon Palace and the Demon Sect are mutually exclusive and as hostile as water and fire, in fact their cooperation at the local level is very close.

The local Demon Palace is guarded by the governor and county magistrate, and the aristocratic families and wealthy families are almost all in collusion with the nearby Xuanmen forces, either openly or secretly.

Because in fact, in this world, the one with the strongest fist is no longer the Three Yuans Imperial Court, but the Nine Great Mysterious Sects.

Therefore, not only did the locals secretly pay tribute and send their disciples to the mountains to worship and pray for peace. If they really encountered any demon gods descending, great monsters awakening, or beast tides erupting, they no longer expected the court to send troops to suppress them, but sent orders to eliminate demons and monsters to the mountains, asking the people in the mountains to help resolve the disaster.

Xuanmen naturally accepts everyone who comes. Who wouldn’t fight against the monster? It’s a good opportunity to have it come to your doorstep.

Of course, those who guard the important place of Yanmen Pass are all immortal guards who have been guarding the vassal states for generations. A general who can be stationed in such an important town on the Nine Frontiers should have some real skills.

But after all, the Kan Kingdom had just defeated the Shuofang Kingdom, and the army entered the pass and ravaged the Gen Kingdom. Yanmen Pass was within reach, and the Three Yuans might order the Nine Frontier Guards to attack the traitors at any time, or the cavalry of the Duke of Zhongshan might come to the city at any time, borrowing troops from the pass, so he really didn't dare to leave his post without permission.

Tiedan counted with his fingers, his true energy circulated, and he nodded secretly.

"Yuan Ying can be killed."

Even if he really had no confidence in surviving the Divine Demon Ancestor, as for the Nascent Soul stage monster, with his current abilities and the experience he had gained over the past month, he could still be sure of surviving.

There's no point in killing Jindan-level players instantly all day long...

Since Tiedan said so, Baiyu was not worried. She did some mental calculations and nodded.

"I also feel that the Qi in my abdomen has been moving these days, and the opportunity has come. I think this monster is the opportunity for me to form a pill."

Iron Egg,

"Let's go, let's buy some cumin chili first."

White Jade,

"Hmm? You think my cooking is too bland?"

Iron Egg,

"...Kun said so."

Kun was shocked!
