The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 170 The Interference of the Holy Soldier Dao
Su Yan's expression became a little more serious.

The Way of the Holy Weapon, although the name sounds nice, the true meaning is to use all kinds of weapons as the true meaning, but it is based on the soul.

Among these soul types, warriors and high-level beast souls are the most suitable.

"The Holy Soldiers have also gotten involved."

The six-winged blood centipede opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the bodies of the three people. Then the shadow-horned spider took Su Yan and rushed in another direction.

In the wilderness, wild beasts were running around indiscriminately. Outer and inner disciples hunted them in groups, strangling them one by one.

Although the disciples of the Mountain Protection Army participated in the battle, they only attacked two places.

The penetration of key strongholds and the hunting of groups of powerful wild beasts.

In just one afternoon, each team had made considerable gains. With their military formations, they managed to kill two late-stage second-order wild beasts.

A wild beast of this strength is no less powerful than a warrior who has reached the third or even fourth level of the True Meaning Realm.

There was only one warrior in the third level of the True Intention Realm in a small team. They defeated the stronger ones without much casualties, which shows how powerful this army was.

"run!"

On the shady side of Dongbai Mountain, a group of warriors riding on bull beasts fled for their lives.

There were twelve of them, each a large man with his face covered.

"brush"

They fled desperately, but before they had gone far, a red figure flew out of the forest and knocked over their entire team.

The poisonous fog engulfed three or four people in an instant.

The bull beast was frightened and threw the warrior off and fled desperately.

"If you come any closer I'll kill them!"

The mask of the leading man fell off, revealing a dark, scarred face.

He grabbed a woman's neck with his hand and had a dagger at the back of her neck.

Su Yan stepped forward and emerged from the forest.

"Kill him!"

He just raised his eyes slightly and said: "I want to see what will happen if you kill her."

The scarred man frowned, his eyes filled with fear.

He was obviously a warrior who had reached the second level of the True Realm, but he felt full of pressure in front of the young man Su Yan.

It took twenty-seven brothers to capture a few disciples of the Beast King Sect before this man suddenly appeared.

A six-winged blood centipede rushed to kill most of them, and the man pierced the heads of many of his brothers with a spear in his hand.

"I just want to survive!"

The scarred man wanted to beg, but the next moment, he pushed the female disciple in his hand directly into the bloody mouth of the six-winged blood centipede, grabbed the bull beast beside him and fled...

Hiss
Countless shadows attacked and directly bound the scarred man's arms.

The scarred man's expression suddenly changed, and the shadow spider fell down, its figure like a ghost.

The remaining few people had no time to react before they were pierced by the shadow thread and hung in the air like puppets on strings.

The two abducted disciples fell to the ground.

Su Yan glanced at them and shook his head slightly: "Don't be greedy and rush forward. Go back to the camp by yourselves."

"Thank you, senior brother."

The two men survived the disaster and nodded quickly, feeling sad.

They, a group of outer disciples, had been successfully killing wild beasts, but they were suddenly attacked and killed, with many of their companions dying.

Su Yan sent the two away. The hanging cultivator had his flesh cut into by the shadow threads, and his face was distorted with pain.

"How many Yuan Shi did the Holy Soldier Dao give you per head? Why are you so hardworking?"

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly, and the scarred man's expression suddenly changed.

"Outer disciples receive one thousand and one-level Yuanshi, and inner disciples receive three hundred second-level Yuanshi."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly. The second-level Yuanshi had come out, and the price was not low.

The wages of avarice is death.

Not to mention, these robbery cultivators were originally planning to make a big move after the wild beast attack in Baishan Town.

They plundered everything in Baishan Town, and after the warriors of the wealthy families met with disaster, they also became their targets.

Hunting the Beast King Sect disciples and the Ma, Lin, and Zhou families was just a side job.

The scarred man thought he was cautious enough and attacked mostly outer disciples.

But unexpectedly, he still fell into the gutter.

"How did you receive the message and how do you redeem the reward?"

Su Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the scarred man's eyes darkened. He immediately said, "The news came from the black market, but the area around Baishan Town has fallen, and the old temple entrance has also been destroyed. Only when they send out the signal again will we know where to exchange it."

Is it Lao Miaokou?

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly and sneered: "You have done a lot of things."

I think this old temple entrance is a stronghold where all kinds of underworld forces gather, similar to the Green Forest Conference in Yuncang Town.

But it is undoubtedly more covert, and there must be someone running it behind the scenes.

Only if there are long-term involvements, connections, and even assassinations and ambushes, otherwise these desperadoes will not trust this so-called secret flower so much.

"The man behind the old temple gate, the Saint Soldier Dao?"

"Someone has seen the old temple envoy take action. It was a soul-destroying stick with gusts of cold wind. Only the Holy Weapon Dao could cultivate such true meaning."

"I...I'm willing to be your secret agent. As soon as they show up, I'll inform you."

The scarred man immediately thought of his chance of survival. There was no doubt that Su Yan wanted to investigate the matter at the old temple entrance.

However, Su Yan shook his head slightly: "They won't show up, at least not now."

He swung the Demonic Scorpion Spear in his hand, piercing the scarred man's eyebrows and killing several people in an instant.

The sky was gradually getting dark. Su Yan found the direction and headed straight for the camp.

Defenses had been set up four or five hundred meters outside the camp. Several giant beasts wearing iron armor and more than ten feet tall lay across the camp to form a line of defense.

The iron armor on his body was specially forged and blessed by the Spirit Sealer, making him a defensive giant.

The disciples of the Mountain Guard formed a defensive line, and several teams of inner disciples built patrol lines, making the defense particularly tight.

Clearing out wild beasts is not just a matter of killing them. We must also be on guard against another wave of beasts that could wipe out the entire army.

When Su Yan returned to the camp, someone had already arranged the tents.

As a disciple of Long Qiu Shui, there was nothing strange about such treatment.

However, before he returned to the tent, Hao Yi had already sent someone to invite him over.

Su Yan was just about to tell Hao Yi what happened today, so he moved to the main tent.

When he entered the tent, Hao Yi and the heads of the Ma, Lin and Zhou families were all there.

"Junior brother, please sit down."

Hao Yi's attitude was humble, not only because of Su Yan's identity, but also because he had heard more rumors about this junior brother that day.

Although he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, his cultivation had reached the second level of the True Realm, Ruyi.

Moreover, in one day, he killed no less than two or three hundred wild beasts, cleared a small area, and rescued many disciples. With such strength, he might become another Danqiao Zhenren in the future.

Compared to himself, he may have been stuck in this true state of mind for most of his life.

"Brother, there is something I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"A large number of robbery cultivators have gathered around Baishan Town. They have all received secret gifts and are planning to kill the Beast King Sect's disciples and those from families outside the town. Senior Brother, you should have received the news today?"

Hao Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "The tricks of the Holy Soldiers, I'm afraid they are not unrelated to the incident in Baishan Town this time. Their strange true intentions are all refined through soul and blood sacrifices. This kind of killing is probably just what they want."

Su Yan looked at the heads of the three families and his gaze fell on Ma Tianhong.

"Master Ma"

"What's the matter, sir?"

Su Yan asked, "You've lived here for a long time, so I think you should know what Lao Miao Kou is."

Ma Tianhong's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I know."

He explained, "Outside the Hanying Peak wall, the Old Temple Gate is the most mysterious. They're involved in everything from selling stolen goods to assassinations, human trafficking, and wild beast trafficking. They've gathered a group of desperate criminals specifically to oppose our four towns. If the Four Tiger Bandits and the Hanchuan Wolf cultivators are the vicious tigers devouring people in the open, then the group at the Old Temple Gate are the evil ghosts lurking behind the scenes. I heard that the mastermind behind this is the Saint Soldier Dao."

Some people took advantage of the situation and used this group of robbery cultivators as knives.

I'm afraid this old temple is the culprit.

"Old Temple Entrance..."

His eyes moved slightly, and he just raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have heard that this group of people does not seem to be that easy to find."

Lin Zifang said, "They say it's an old temple, but that's just where they started. Later, they became as elusive as a haunted temple. Before they appear, they'll have the 'birds' spread rumors in the town, half true, half false. Only experts can follow the clues and find their whereabouts."

"So the clue is broken."

In the current situation, Baishan Town is destroyed, and those hidden agents have long been hiding somewhere unknown, perhaps in the other three towns, or among the refugees, but it is definitely not that easy to find them.

"Not necessarily. They are waiting for us to arrive at Baishan Town."

Hao Yi's voice fell, his tone solemn, and he snorted coldly: "Today we are clearing out the wild beasts outside. The mountain guards and the disciples have discovered the movements of the wild beasts and are gathering towards Baishan Town. Someone is gathering the wild beasts."

Several people looked serious, and Ma Tianhong asked, "Is it true?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

Everyone's faces looked unhappy. The difference in the degree of danger between the wild beasts that gathered in groups and those that were scattered was too great.

"Three Patriarchs, I summoned you here to tell you that you are needed to take action in Baishan Town. You cannot hide, otherwise don't blame the sect for its strict rules."

Although the town outside the wall is nominally run by them, it is actually still a subsidiary force of the Beast King Sect.

When necessary, we must join the war.

Although Hao Yi is not Danqiao Zhenren, he can still represent the sect to tell the three of them the seriousness of the matter.

"Understood. I will follow Commander Hao's orders."

Hao Yi discussed the arrangements with a few people and assigned a plan for clearing out the wild beasts the next day. They left one after another until nightfall.

Su Yan returned to the outside of his tent and stopped immediately when he approached the tent.

The figure flashed in, and the demon scorpion's black spear suddenly pointed to the place where the breathing came from.

"Forgive me, sir. I have come here on orders."

Under the tip of the gun was a young woman with fair skin and a plump figure, no more than twenty years old, and like a blooming peony, very full and plump.

She crouched low, revealing a hint of white on purpose, like a crouching little animal.

"Who sent you here?"

Su Yan's eyes flickered as he scanned the woman in front of him.

Although his strength is not strong, he has some abilities, almost half a step to the true meaning.

"My humble self, Ma Qingxuan, greets you, sir."

She stood up gracefully, holding a brocade box with cloud patterns in her hands. She raised her hands slightly and placed them just in front of her.

Su Yan's spear was sharp, but the smile on Ma Qingxuan's face did not fade at all.

"I've come here on the orders of the Patriarch to give you a gift. Congratulations to Master Long on taking charge of Hanying Peak."

Ma Qingxuan opened the box and found two things on the left and right sides of the red velvet lining.

"The situation here is special. The master has only prepared three gifts in a hurry. Please forgive me."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: "Ma Tianhong's reaction is quite fast. I'm afraid it's the intention of the three families."

Seeing that Su Yan didn't answer, Ma Qingxuan introduced in a clear and gentle voice, "The first gift is a centipede bead from a late-stage second-order desolate beast, the Cold Armor Centipede. Although it's not as good as a third-order disaster beast, it should be of some help to your contracted beast."

Inside the box, the object on the right was a fist-sized bead with a texture like white jade and emitting a slightly cool sensation.

A demonic energy lingers around, which is particularly abundant. It is indeed a treasure, especially for a special contracted beast.

"interesting."

Su Yan nodded slightly. Ma Qingxuan's eyes lit up with joy and continued, "The second gift is this storage ring. There are some Yuanshi in the ring, 10,000 first-level Yuanshi and 1,000 second-level Yuanshi. Please accept them."

The centipede bead is a gift that depends on the person, but the Yuan stone is a panacea gift.

Ten thousand first-level Yuanshi and one thousand second-level Yuanshi, if converted into resources, would be enough for an average True Realm disciple to practice for one or two years.

This is without any stinginess.

"The families outside the town are still wealthy, after all, they are not controlled by anyone..."

If you want to receive, you must give first. Since they can give such a big gift, I think these three families really want his help.

It’s not just as simple as becoming friends, of course this is just the beginning.

"What about the third gift?"

Su Yan raised his eyes and saw Ma Qingxuan slowly putting down the box, smiling with a little more charm.

She bowed slightly, and her belt slipped, revealing her snow-white hair, shoulders, and even fairer skin.

"Hanying Peak is located in a remote area. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to live here. Qingxuan is willing to serve you."

Despite the obvious hint, Su Yan smiled.

He retracted his Demonic Scorpion Mystical Spear, suppressed his aura slightly, and said calmly, "I'll take the things. As for you, go back on your own."

Ma Qingxuan was slightly startled, then she pulled up her belt, nodded, and said softly, "I understand. I hope you will forgive me for my rudeness today."

She left the box behind and quietly left the tent, as if Su Yan had not said anything.

"Gift delivery is still somewhat professional, it came so quickly."

He picked up the storage ring and centipede bead, examined them, and without leaving any other means, put them directly into the insect world space.

The person didn't accept it, not because he, Su, had never been a double-faced person in his life.

But there is a price to pay for free stuff.

People are more troublesome than things. If you can avoid getting involved with them, it is better to do so for the time being.

"The Ma family's gift should be the intention of the three families. It seems that when Baishan Town is recovered, there will be a big show to watch, and maybe there will be gifts."

Su Yan grinned. This gift was more like a test, but on the other hand, he was also testing her.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the people from the Law Enforcement Hall investigate corruption within the sect?"
