The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Novan City, in front of the main gate of the Rhine Empire Palace.

"Are we just going in like this?" Xiao Zhu pointed to the spectacular high wall gate in front of him.

"What else?" Wan Yixing did not answer directly, but his expression showed clearly that I am going to cause trouble.

"Isn't this too high-profile, President? You are proficient in space magic, why don't you just open the space crack and take us in?" Xiao Zhu looked at Wan Yixing in confusion.

"Xiao Zhu, do you think space magic is omnipotent? Look here..." Wan Yixing was embarrassed. He pointed to a wall of light that was faintly visible in front of him and explained, "This is a formation barrier. The entire palace is covered by it. This barrier can block space magic."

"And as long as something passes through this barrier, it will definitely be detected by the caster, so there is no need for us to be sneaky, we can just walk in openly." Chu Enze added.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zhu nodded. Being with the leaders of the two major forces in Nuowan City really allowed Xiao Zhu to learn a lot.

"Let's go!" Chu Enze was the first to cross the formation barrier, and Xiao Zhu and Wan Yixing followed him in.

The palace gate was always open during the day, and there were two armored guards at the door. Xiao Zhu could feel that they were both mid-level demon hunters. With their strength, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary people in Novan City, but they were not enough in front of Xiao Zhu and others.

"What are you doing!" a guard shouted angrily.

Before he could finish his words, a vine wrapped around his body. To prevent him from shouting, the vine even grew a branch to seal his mouth. Another guard was in the same situation. Before they could react, they saw four people swaggering into the palace gate.

After entering the palace gate, there is a large courtyard with several guards standing at intervals. The sudden appearance of four strangers like Xiao Zhu immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

They looked at the four intruders warily and surrounded them with murderous intent.

But before the guards took a few steps, they felt as if their feet were tied by something. They lowered their heads and saw emerald green vines growing out from the ground, growing wildly along their legs. In just a moment, all the guards were bound to the spot by the vines, wrapped like giant dumplings.

"Shi'er, two seniors, let's go!" After easily dealing with all the guards, Xiao Zhu pointed to the palace in front of him.

Xiao Zhu suddenly noticed that Wan Yixing had not caught up. He stopped at the door and seemed to be busy with something. Xiao Zhu asked in confusion, "President Wan, is there anything unusual?"

"It's okay, I left something there. Let's go into the palace!" Wan Yixing said as he caught up.

"Ah? What was left behind?" Xiao Zhu asked puzzledly.

"You'll know soon." Wan Yixing deliberately kept it a secret.

As the four of them walked into the palace, they heard a deep voice coming from deep inside the palace: "President Wan and Dean Chu, you have taken the time to come here together despite your busy schedules. This really makes our palace shine!"

The four looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in black sitting in the center of the palace. He was stocky, with a long beard, and a stern yet dignified face. It was obvious that the words just spoken had come from his mouth.

On both sides of the middle-aged man, there were two fully armed soldiers, a man and a woman. They stood upright, staring at the four people who walked in with eyes like knives.

Although the words spoken by the middle-aged man were very polite, seeing the three of them looking as if they were facing a great enemy, how could there be any sign of welcome in this regard?

"Lionheart King, long time no see!" Wan Yixing replied, "And Generals Kuixing and Kuangzhan."

The three hunting kings of the royal family are gathered here today.

"Where is Elder Bai?" Chu Enze had no intention of greeting.

"Oh? What does President Chu mean? Hasn't Great Elder Bai Ruchen been in Nuowan College all this time?" The Lionheart King looked at Chu Enze in confusion, as if he was completely unaware of the situation.

"Hmph! Elder Bai disappeared a few days ago after he came to the royal family. In this Novan city, apart from the three of you, who else can control Elder Bai?" Chu Enze asked coldly without paying any attention to King Lionheart's words.

"Dean Chu, what you said is wrong. Elder Bai Ruchen and I have been friends for many years. How could I harm him? As for what you said about Elder Bai coming to the royal family, I was completely unaware of it." The Lionheart King was still pretending to be crazy.

"Hmph! You are the king of a country, but are you so despicable that you dare not take responsibility for your mistakes?" Chu Enze said sarcastically.

Hearing this, the Lionheart's face suddenly turned ferocious. He stood up suddenly and said angrily, "How dare you! Just relying on you two hunting kings and these two little kids, you think you can challenge my royal authority?"

The moment King Lionheart stood up, his two bodyguards on the left and right seemed to have agreed beforehand and took a step forward at the same time, and the three of them stood in a straight line.

"Hiss--" A violent sound of air trembling was heard, and Xiao Zhu felt that he had lost all of his strength. He hurriedly protected Xia Shi. At the same time, he saw that Chu Enze and Wan Yixing's faces also became very ugly.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhu wanted to use his spiritual power to summon the Greedy Wolf Sword in desperation, but suddenly he felt that all the spiritual power in his body was gone, as if it had been completely drained!

What was going on? Xiao Zhu couldn't believe it and tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body again, but there was still no response.

"Don't waste your energy. We've fallen into a trap." Chu Enze said weakly on the side.

"Fell into a trap?" Xiao Zhu asked in confusion, not yet understanding what was going on.

"It's the Spirit Purification Formation, which is similar to the Lingxu Flag Formation you had back then. However, the Spirit Purification Formation is more powerful and more difficult to cast. They need the combined strength of the three hunting kings to cast this formation. But once trapped in the formation, not only will the spiritual power in the space be drained instantly, the spiritual power in the trapped person's body will also be completely sealed, like a pool of stagnant water that cannot be awakened." Chu Enze explained.

"So, aren't we no different from ordinary people now?" Xiao Zhu said in disbelief.

"That's right. Except for the spells that have physical strength exceeding that of ordinary people, all other spells cannot be cast." Chu Enze replied.

"What about the other party? Will the person who casts the formation be affected?" Xiao Zhu suddenly thought of a very crucial point.

"Except for the consumption of some spiritual energy, the caster is almost unaffected." Wan Yixing answered on behalf of Chu Enze.

"I never expected that the Spirit Purification Formation, which had been lost for hundreds of years, would reappear."

"It's all my fault. I miscalculated!" Chu Enze said with great sorrow.

The Lionheart King laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha - from the moment you entered this palace, you have been trapped in the Spirit Purification Array, and you don't even know it. Since you want to see Bai Ruchen so much, then I'll send you to see him!"
