Chapter 94: Purple Crystal (Subscribe)

Outside the county government hall, there were originally many clerks hiding in various corners, secretly watching what was happening inside the hall. Now they were all looking around and at the sky with expressions of surprise and doubt.

"What is this?"

"It's so bright! The whole sky has turned purple."

"It seems to be some kind of mineral powder, it's everywhere."

"By the way, do you feel any heat inside your body, like it's burning?"

Zhang Tianchang also stretched out his hand, trying to grab the purple crystal dust.

Only then did he realize that the purple crystal dust was actually very small, as tiny as a mustard seed.

It is only because their brightness is particularly high now that Zhang Tianchang can see them.

Zhang Tianchang was just frowning, wondering what on earth this thing could be when he heard a familiar voice say, "This should be the crystal dust attracted by the Purple Yao Yuan Crystal."

Zhang Tianchang was startled when he heard this and looked over at the voice: "Master Du?"

He found that Master Du was standing forty meters ahead, at the gate of the county government office.

Zhang Tianchang frowned and immediately bowed to Master Du, saying bluntly, "Master Du, may I ask where the county magistrate is? Also, County Lieutenant Zhu Lingshi just said that the court hasn't yet appointed a county magistrate to Yinyue County, and that our current county magistrate is a demon in disguise. Is this true?"

There was surprise and anger in his eyes.

In Zhang Tianchang's memory, the former county magistrate did die two months ago.

According to common sense, it is indeed impossible for the Ministry of Personnel to appoint a new county magistrate in such a short time.

However, before the county lieutenant Zhu Lingshi revealed the matter, he had no doubts about the county magistrate and did not notice anything unusual.

Master Du smiled bitterly upon hearing this and walked over: "Captain Zhang, my master is not a demon, but a seventh-rank inspector of the Imperial City Division. His surname is Zhuang and his name is Zhuang Mingyue!
Originally, my master came here to track down the blacklisted criminal Xueyu Miaoshi. Because Xueyu Miaoshi had colluded with local forces and was hiding near Yinyue County, he was difficult to find. Furthermore, he noticed that Yinyue County was experiencing frequent demonic transformations for unknown reasons, with many demonic cultivators lurking. Therefore, my master used his innate magical powers to deceive everyone and temporarily assumed the position of Yinyue County Magistrate. On the one hand, he was tracking down Xueyu Miaoshi's whereabouts, while on the other hand, he was protecting the safety of the local people and investigating the cause of their demonic transformations.

Zhang Tianchang was stunned when he heard this.

Their county magistrate was actually a seventh-rank inspector of the Imperial City Department? This was much more valuable than a county magistrate.

But is this true or false?

"I can't prove this right now, but to know a man, you have to listen to his words, observe his actions, and examine his results. Chief Inspector Zhang, has my master ever committed any acts of cruelty or harm to the people since he became county magistrate? On the contrary, he has devoted all his energy to suppressing the demons in this city and tracking down the mastermind behind this."

Master Du had already reached the steps of the lobby and peered inside. "Today, my master went to Huoxu Village to investigate the demonic disaster and fire fog there. You should be aware of the situation there. It has always been very unsettling. My master took into consideration your weak fighting power and had no choice but to go there in person. However, he lost contact after entering.

This morning, County Lieutenant Zhu Lingshi and the Dianshi launched a brazen attack, jointly killing Wei Long, the commander of the county troops. Judging from the current situation, Huoxu Village must have been a trap set by County Lieutenant Zhu Lingshi. I sensed the situation was dire half an hour ago and fled the government office to hide, which is why I luckily survived."

He looked at Lin Twelve, who was fighting the last four-level 'Three-Eyed Demon' with the help of Wang Erqi and others in the lobby, with a strange look in his eyes.

What Master Du didn't expect was that Lin Twelve was not killed by the Blood Knife Lady.

Not only did this guy survive, he also turned the tables and killed the well-prepared county lieutenant Zhu Lingshi, forcing him to flee in a panic.

Master Du thought that if he had known this would happen, he should not have hidden himself this morning. He should have listened to his superiors and gone straight to Lin Twelve if anything happened in the city.

He really felt from the bottom of his heart that Lin Twelve and the others had no chance of winning, so there was no need to add him.

Zhang Tianchang squinted his eyes and thought carefully. His expression gradually relaxed and the defensive look in his eyes gradually faded.

He snorted again: "So what's going on with these crystal dusts?"

Zhang Tianchang's tone was blunt. He was no fool; a quick thought would reveal the role Master Du had played in today's events.

If this person had given them advance notice, they would not have easily entered the county government office.

This person must be preparing to escape, abandoning them all, and even intentionally treating them as pawns to buy himself some time.

"Didn't I tell you? This is crystal dust attracted by the Purple Radiant Crystal. Rank 4 and above Purple Radiant Crystals will spontaneously absorb crystal dust of the same properties from heaven and earth, thus growing and strengthening. However, this situation is very rare in Yinyue County. I suspect there might be a huge Purple Radiant Crystal mine beneath our county."

Master Du's expression darkened, his eyes stern. "The terrifying thing is that the people living in Yinyue County have been breathing in this purple crystal dust day and night for years, unknowingly accumulating it into their bodies.

These purple crystal dusts are extremely small, normally not a problem and wouldn't harm the body. But now, someone underground has somehow stimulated some of the purple crystal veins, causing the nearby purple crystals to violently emit massive amounts of purple yang energy. The consequences are disastrous, and this is why many people in Yinyue County have transformed into demons. Their bloodline power has been stimulated by the high-intensity energy radiation, transforming them into demons.

"Purple Radiant Energy?" Zhang Tianchang's pupils narrowed slightly upon hearing this. "Master, are you saying that all the people in Yinyue County will spontaneously combust?"

Master Du smiled wryly and nodded, "Not only will it spontaneously combust, but the entire county will also be on fire. By then, the area ten miles around the county will be reduced to a sea of ​​fire. All the people in Yinyue County will be unable to escape even if they want to."

This is why he chose to escape.

Because once the county lieutenant and his men launch an attack, all the people in this county will be dead!

Unless they can escape fifty miles away, far away from the range of the Purple Yao Yuan Crystal mine.

Even the captains of police like Zhang Tianchang were no exception.

These people were born and raised in Yinyue County and have lived there for decades. There is too much purple crystal dust in their bodies. No matter how high their cultivation is, they will surely spontaneously combust and die. There is no need to save them at all.

Fortunately, the county magistrate checked all the flammable materials in the county and sent them to storage outside the city. Otherwise, fires would have broken out everywhere in the city, and the people in the city would have died faster.

Zhang Tianchang was frightened and even more confused. His face turned pale. "Then what is the purpose of the county lieutenant and his men?"

The county lieutenant must have a purpose for committing such a heinous crime in Yinyue County. That guy is not a madman, nor has he transformed into a demon. He would not harm so many people for no reason.

"That's exactly what my master wants to know."

Master Du shook his head slightly. "We previously discovered that County Lieutenant Zhu Lingshi was a member of the Sixth Son of His Majesty, Prince Han. Furthermore, when you took over as county magistrate, you discovered that the county annals of Yinyue County were destroyed in a fire several years ago. Even the copy in the county capital disappeared for unknown reasons.

The county magistrate had no choice but to use his connections to obtain the records from the provincial capital, and only recently saw a copy of the county annals. He speculated that the county lieutenant's plot was likely related to a fire thousands of years ago and a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This was the reason why his master fell into the trap of the county lieutenant and left the city for Huoxu Village.

There was no record of the Purple Yao Yuan Jing vein in the county annals, let alone the fact that the Yuan Jing vein covered such a wide area. It was not until the incident occurred that Master Du used his unique magic talent to find out the reason.

Just as they were talking about this, Lin Rui in the lobby had already chopped off the head of the fourth-level three-eyed demon with a knife.

His own fighting power surpassed that of the three-eyed demon, and with the assistance of Wang Sen, Cao Jun and others, even without the help of talismans and flying needles, and without bursting out his true energy, he only used eighteen or nineteen moves to quickly and neatly resolve the battle.

Tip: Kill the fourth level demon and gain 1321 soul power points.

The overall strength of this three-eyed demon is slightly weaker than the fourth-level two-headed demon just now, but its soul power is stronger.

At this time, his total soul power points had reached 19329 points.

Lin Rui then picked up the blood knife 'Thor' in his hand, frowning as he looked at the big hole at the back of the hall that was created by the county lieutenant and the blood knife lady.

At this time, half a minute had passed since Blood Knife Lady went to chase the county lieutenant, but there was still no sign of her, which made him a little worried.

No one knew where the Blood Blade Lady had gone, and the 'Ruyi Heart Knot' in Lin Rui's body could no longer sense her whereabouts.
