The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 174 Temple Blessing
not good!

Ma Tianhong's face suddenly changed, and Lin Zifang and Zhou Yaokun also showed shocked expressions.

I saw more than ten monsters about ten feet tall, with green skin, fangs, and strong muscles and bones rushing out, like yakshas reincarnated from the underworld.

They rushed out of Lao Huang Temple, their scarlet eyes full of bloodthirstiness.

As soon as the Yaksha monster appeared, it pounced directly on the mountain guards. Its figure was ghostly and its speed was extremely fast.

"shoot"

The mountain guards shot out powerful crossbows, and dozens of sharp arrows flew and landed on these Yaksha monsters, making clanging sounds.

What a strong man.

Under the volley of fire from the mountain protection army, only a few of the more than ten Yaksha monsters were injured.

At this moment, dozens of warriors wearing azure clothes and covering their faces rushed out.

"Still want to run?"

Bai Yun was also among the disciples of the Mountain Protection Army. He took a step forward with a spear in his hand. The White Tiger True Meaning came from behind him, riding the wind. With one pounce, he pinned a blue-robed warrior to the ground and tore off half of his body.

The Yaksha monster pounced forward, but was knocked away by its tail that was like a scissors.

Bai Yun's spear pointed at Tiger Shadow and pierced through the Yaksha monster's chest.

Du Yuan and Bai Chenyao summoned their contracted beasts, jumped into the battlefield, and intercepted two of the small leaders.

Roars came one after another, and the true meaning rose behind the temple people who were stopped. The green-skinned beast had a face, and although it looked a bit like tigers, leopards and other beasts, it looked more like a yaksha monster.

As their true intention emerged, their offensive immediately became fierce.

The trapped beast still fights
If they cannot break through, they will all die here.

"Forming a formation"

A hundred mountain guards formed a formation and threw out the short spears at their waists.

The true energy wrapped around the short spear makes it even more powerful, far surpassing the arrow.

Those Yaksha monsters were extremely violent and had no idea how to dodge, so they were pierced by the short spears in an instant.

The pain made the Yaksha monster struggle continuously. He reached out to pull out the short spear, bringing out a lot of blood. His body stiffened and he fell to the ground.

The temple dwellers were unable to avoid the attack of the short spear and their bodies were pierced directly.

"Boom"

The Laohuang Temple was crumbling, and a huge Yaksha monster rushed out. It was two meters tall and had four arms. Its sharp claws directly clawed through the stone pillar in front of the Laohuang Temple, which was hugged by two people.

The Yaksha general took advantage of the force and rushed straight towards the mountain protection army formation. The surging and violent demon energy condensed into an astonishing red light, which was close to the strength of the third level of the true realm.

The captain of the mountain protection army who was traveling with them was Ding Yu'an. He took a step forward, and the true beast spirit jumped out, striking hard and colliding with the Yaksha general.

The Laohuang Temple shook three times, and it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the temple at an extremely fast speed, almost turning into a black shadow.

He raised his hand and struck, leaving a dark claw mark in the air.

Behind him is the true meaning of a beast spirit that looks like a Yaksha monster.

"not good!"

Ding Yu'an's face changed. This man attacked just after he had made his move.

He immediately swept his weapon across, trying to block the attack.

But in such a hurry, there was no way to defend completely.

With one blow, he flew backwards with blood flowing out of his mouth.

"go!"

The temple keeper roared and stood on the Yaksha general, controlled by chains. He gathered his momentum and wanted to charge into the formation.

He was extremely powerful and gathered seventeen or eighteen temple members in a moment. At this time, Bai Yun and the others' faces changed and they avoided his attack.

Su Yan took a step forward and blocked their way.

When the temple keeper saw Su Yan coming, his eyes were filled with hatred. If it weren't for this man, how could his Lao Huang Temple be surrounded?
"General Yasha, kill him!"

Yaksha's scarlet eyes revealed a violent light, and he gathered his four arms together and suddenly shot out a terrifying demonic energy.

Su Yan sneered, and the blue-gold scales and the Heavenly Python Dharma Body appeared around his body.

I saw the true energy flowing, and he raised his hand to condense a star-picking handprint over three meters long.

"town!"

He had a powerful aura, and with this strike of his hand, he shattered the attack of the Yaksha General.

The temple keeper's face changed. He didn't expect that this young boy had such strength.

He raised his hand and a pitch-black needle flew straight towards Su Yan's eyebrows.

This attack was particularly tricky, almost intending to kill with one blow.

When Ma Tianhong and the other two saw this scene from a distance, their expressions suddenly changed.

"How dare you, the thief, kill me!"

Ma Tianhong flew over, and the Tongbei Ape stood up, almost crossing the hundred-foot distance to save Su Yan.

But Su Yan was faster than him.

The three beast spirits, the Star-Moon Centipede, the Poisonous Star Ape and the Green-Scaled Poisonous Dragon, emerged, and their momentum suddenly soared.

Three stars in formation!

The three beast spirits connected with each other through the true essence of the stars and instantly occupied a triangle, only thirty to fifty feet apart, completely trapping the temple keeper and his entourage.

A clear, muffled sound.

The sharp and insidious black needle was bitten off by the Star-Moon Centipede and knocked to the ground.

Su Yan raised his hand to connect the formation. A hundred meters above the Laohuang Temple, the light dimmed, and only star-like lights were cast down.

The true energy was continuously extracted, and the next moment it formed a palm of several dozen feet in size.

When the old temple keeper saw this scene, his face turned pale. His true intention merged with that of the Yaksha general under him. He opened his bloody mouth and spit out a red light that shot up into the sky.

"With just a little bit of evil spirit, you think you can break my Star Beast Formation?"

The huge hand pressed down, instantly destroying the red light like a piece of dry wood and rotten wood, and then pressed down on the Yaksha, the temple people and the old temple priest.

In an instant, there was a rumbling sound, and more than a dozen warriors and monsters were pressed to the ground like dead dogs.

The onlookers were shocked. Although it was not the first time they saw Su Yan take action, such a commotion was still hard to imagine.

The Tongbei Ape transformed by Ma Tianhong's true meaning jumped to the edge of the battlefield. Just as he was about to step into the Laohuang Temple, he found that Su Yan was standing right in front of him.

"Mr. Su, are you okay? I'm here to help you."

When Ma Tianhong saw Su Yan looking up, he asked with concern. Lin Zifang, Zhou Yaokun and the other two were a step slower.

"Nothing, just discovered a hideout where a disciple of my Beast King Sect was once assassinated."

Su Yan, Ma Tianhong and the other two faced each other without turning back. "Brother Ding, detain the monsters and the people and bring them back to Fengcheng for questioning. I want to see if they have any connection to Baishan Town."

"Yes"

The mountain guards took action, holding special refining tools such as the Demon Binding Rope, and went forward to tie them up.

Ding Yu'an personally took action against the temple priest and the yaksha general who were in charge, and he also gave them cartilage-softening and tendon-softening drugs in front of everyone.

The Beast King Sect is a sect that controls contracted beasts, so it has some means to deal with wild beasts and monsters.

"Fengcheng?"

Lin Zifang's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Mawang Town is not far from Fengcheng. This group of thieves is probably not simple. If we go there like this, what if we are attacked by them? Isn't it..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately stopped talking, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

He was afraid that the Beast King Sect would conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, and by then not only Mawang Town, but also Liangshui Town and Hanshan Town would be investigated.

I'm afraid this matter will become even more difficult to handle. Therefore, it would be most appropriate to detain them in one of the three towns.

Su Yan looked at Lin Zifang with a half-smile. He immediately revealed a distressed expression and lowered his head, saying, "Lin was worried about his safety and was anxious to overstep his bounds. I hope you will forgive me."

Whether the prisoner should stay or go, and how to deal with him, is up to the Beast King Sect to decide. Who does he think he is?
"Master Lin is very thoughtful, so what crime could he have committed?"

Su Yan just said it lightly, then changed the subject and asked, "The situation was urgent and I took action suddenly, which disturbed the peace of the Ma family master. It's Su's fault. If you knew that the three family masters were here, you wouldn't have allowed me to mobilize the mountain protection troops."

The three of them thought to themselves that this was not good, they were being suspected.

Ma Tianhong cursed inwardly, but said stubbornly, "We found clues about the gang of thieves who destroyed the Baishan Town wall, so we gathered together to discuss the matter."

He made up an excuse, and this was the only reason that best explained why the three of them had to get together.

"Junior brother, there is something in the Old God Temple."

However, at this time, Ding Yu'an walked over with a solemn expression, angry eyes, and lowered his voice.

Seeing his expression, Su Yan frowned and his heart skipped a beat: "What did you find?"

"The Thousand-Mass Pit and the Child..."

Ding Yu'an said this almost with gritted teeth.

Su Yan's face turned cold and his voice became a little colder.

"Take me to see it."

Ma Tianhong and the other two's expressions suddenly changed. They were about to follow but were stopped by the mountain protection soldiers.

"Fellow Patriarchs, please forgive me for the Beast King Sect's investigation."

The three of them were angry, but they didn't dare to show it in public.

Under normal circumstances, with their cultivation level, even the disciples of the Beast King Sect would not dare to treat them so easily.

But now, the Beast King Sect is here to investigate the murder of their disciples.

At this time, if they dare to take action, what will happen?
Kill the imperial envoy.

If this is true, it will not just offend one or two disciples, but will also be a slap in the face of the Beast King Sect.

If that time really comes, people won't tell you the evidence.

"Damn it, who planted this Old God Temple here?!"

Lin Zifang and Zhou Yaokun cursed in their hearts, and Ma Tianhong was also angry.

Although the two suspected that the Ma family was involved in this matter, they did not want to show it on the surface.

I could only watch Su Yan, Ding Yu'an and the others walk into the Laohuang Temple.

The Laohuang Temple is spacious and is built entirely of huge stones.

As soon as I stepped in, I felt a cool breeze passing across my ankles.

The temple enshrines a statue of a Yin god similar to the City God, with a green face and fangs, wearing a divine robe, exuding a strange majesty.

Ding Yu'an took Su Yan and went straight to the back of the temple. At this time, the entire Laohuang Temple had been searched thoroughly by the mountain guards. A dark tunnel in the backyard had been surrounded by several mountain guards. Bai Yun, Du Yuan, and Bai Chenyao were all there.

"under."

Ding Yu'an pointed at the hole in front of him, his face no longer looking good.

Several people entered the cave in this way. The tunnel was not deep, and they arrived at the basement after only walking a hundred steps.

What a great place with a temple above and a cave below.

The underground was almost hollowed out by the people of Laohuang Temple. At first glance, it was full of gloomy cells, extending from the entrance to the inside, with no less than a hundred cells.

The bloodstains had dried and had turned into dark marks embedded in the wall.

It emits a foul smell that makes people shudder.

There were still seventeen or eighteen half-grown children in the cell, but at this time their heads and bodies had been separated and they had all been killed by the temple residents and others.

Further in, there were torture chambers, trial arenas, and countless iron fences and chains.

Deep in this dungeon, there is a huge cave that is a hundred meters deep. Looking down at the fallen torches, one can see body parts scattered all over the ground, forming a small hill of corpses of all sizes.

"When we arrived, the children had already been killed, and we also found several half-grown monsters. I'm afraid this group of temple inhabitants are researching secret medicine."

Ding Yu'an gritted his teeth. In the martial arts world, there are indeed people who will do anything to improve their strength.

But what we see now is that children are transformed into monsters comparable to Yang Yuan Dacheng and Zhen Yi warriors.

How many people died from the time of research to success?
How ruthless does one have to be to achieve this?
"Seal the secret medicine and report it to the sect."

Su Yan's voice was cold, and Ding Yu'an nodded solemnly: "I'll do it right away."

"And transfer another 300 people from Senior Brother Hao Yi's side."

"clear."

When Su Yan, Ding Yu'an and others came out, the entire Laohuang Temple was still under blockade.

Seeing his expression, Ma Tianhong knew something was wrong. "Master Su, the Old God Temple is hiding a demon. It's my Ma family's fault for not investigating. I will investigate thoroughly and give the sect an explanation."

"Master Ma, that's not necessary. We will investigate this matter."

Ma Tianhong's face immediately turned ugly.

Su Yan almost made it clear that they did not trust the Ma family in this matter.

He reluctantly said, "Okay, the Ma family will fully cooperate."

Ma Tianhong and the other two retreated temporarily, while Lin Zifang and the other two went straight back to their own town and checked various places similar to the Laohuang Temple without saying a word.

The investigation caused chaos, as they found some similarities.

After a fierce battle, many monsters were killed, but several temple priests also escaped.

In Mawang Town, Hao Yi dispatched 300 mountain guards that same day.

They did not camp in Mawang Town, but set up camp in Yunting Mountain outside Mawang Town.

The Ma family and other forces in Mawang Town were extremely vigilant, but they did not dare to react too much.

Su Yan gave the order directly, and the disciples of the Mountain Protection Army began to check one by one.

Since so many half-grown children were arrested, there must be a reason.

From child trafficking to the source of secret medicines and herbs, each clue was sorted out and investigated.

The Ma family and other forces in the city also made up their minds to wipe out all the gangs, big and small, and within one day, they surrendered three gangs that specialized in raping beggars and selling people.

Bai Yun and Ding Yu'an were not polite either. They investigated the whole process from beginning to end and killed most of the members of the three gangs.

Gradually, the power of warriors came under his control, and there were even two gangs led by true realm warriors.

In the camp, Su Yan came to several cells.

The old temple keeper has woken up, and his whole body is hung in a cage. His shoulder blade has been pierced and his patella has been dug out. His strength has fallen to the level of true artistic conception.

"You've been keeping your mouth shut for two days."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the temple priest in front of him who looked like an old ghost.

"Hmph, I've said everything I need to say. I'm a disciple of the Jiufeng Sect. I'm just borrowing a little from you to research secret medicine. Is it worth it for you to make such a fuss?"

"A disciple of the Jiufeng Sect. Then tell me which lineage you belong to, and which disciple are you? Who is this secret medicine for, and where is it intended to be used?"

The temple keeper remained silent with a cold face and stopped talking. The more he spoke, the more flaws he revealed.

He neither explained the whereabouts of the medicine nor the source of the research, but simply insisted on condemning the Jiufeng Sect.

Su Yan didn't believe this at all.

Seeing him like this, Su Yan just shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I didn't intend to ask anything from you. I just need some bait to lay the nest. Two days should be enough."

He pointed his finger, and his true energy gathered into a blade, piercing the temple keeper's heart.

He walked out of the temporary tent and said to Ding Yu'an who was guarding outside, "If you make any noise, you will be sent back to Fengcheng urgently tonight."
