Special Month and Year 1517

and the ghostly figures vanished. The sky was already turning towards evening.In the village surrounded by mountains, it got dark especially early.The little imp crawled on the ground, whispering an e...I know he has a fiery temper. It's obvious that this guy is extremely upset to be in such a state.

"Don't be impulsive! We are investigating this place! If you make a scene, you'll alert them!" I didn't dare reach out to grab him, I could only block the cell door.

"Waking a sleeping dragon That's putting it mildly. The Emperor setting up an array outside means there's a big problem here… If the array isn't set up properly, we start a ruckus, and the enemy here takes advantage to escape – hehehe… Then it'll all be for nothing." The young boy chimed in.

Ignoring all that, Chongmo just shoved me aside and walked out.

He's definitely furious and going to get revenge.

The little boy held onto me and whispered, "My master said that cultivators have heavy demonic energy. He said soft words won't work, you have to do the opposite!"

"How do I reverse it" I hurriedly asked for advice.

"Come on!"

Damn! This guy's a walking bomb right now, if I push him any further, I'm gonna be collateral damage too

Just now, Chong Mo gritted his teeth and cursed, "That bastard," He must be the culprit who made him like this. Chong Mo definitely has to go find this "bastard" to settle the score.

"You, you, you! Stop!" I chased after him, saying in a low voice behind Chong Mo, "We're on someone else's territory right now. Making a scene won't be beneficial! The enemy you're looking for might take the opportunity to escape!"

"You don't need to tell me what to do. I just didn't expect...to meet him here...I have a pretty good idea who's behind this." Chong Mo said in a low voice.

"Well... then you should go report to your Demon Lord as soon as possible, shouldn't you" I wanted to get rid of him.

Shun is like a walking bomb right now, leaving him here is dangerous.

I still need to investigate Young Yan's matter. If Chung Mo makes a scene, everything will be thrown into chaos.

After a moment of silence, as if hesitating, he unwillingly said: "I'll wait until I catch that bastard and present him to the Demon Lord before begging for forgiveness!"

"You..." I was so angry I didn't know what to say.

"Don't meddle!" Chong Mo said to me fiercely.

Heaven... You look like a pig's head, and you dare to say I'm holding you back!

"You, you wouldn't be all bark and no bite, would you Deliberately making a scene to let that "scumbag" slip away, so you could pretend you defeated him!"

Whew...

As soon as those words were spoken, I felt like a burst of flame appeared above Chong Mo's head...

The little boy gave me admiring glances, and I felt a flush of shame.

As expected, Chongmo turned his head to look at me, his eyes practically spitting fire.

I hastily raised my hands in surrender: "Chong Mo, please calm down. I'm helping your Demon Lord investigate clues right now. If we fight, the clues here will be cut off, and you might incur the wrath of others. Wouldn't that be a double sin in front of your Demon Lord"

"...."

Furthermore, I'm still unclear about Jiang Qiyun's external arrangements. If they aren't set yet and you cause a commotion, interrupting his plans, what good will it do you I don't know the ranks and positions in your demon realm, so I can't say if this would be considered insubordination.

“...”

"And, and I found a man, on top of his house appeared a big-headed ghost, maybe—"

"What big-headed evil spirit" Chong Mo suddenly widened his eyes.

>

Chongmo finally calmed down under the pressure of "incitement."

He cross-referenced information with me. Before, he was chasing an apparition in the graveyard after it left a zombie's body, and then realized that the apparition seemed "conscious."

The evidence is that the ghost deliberately avoided several places as it fled.

What places did you avoid

"The government office, the prison." he replied.

Oh, it's about avoiding the police station. Places like this have human rulers or government-granted righteousness and killing energy, which generally makes ghosts avoid them.

"But when I got close to this area, I sensed a heavy presence of bloodlust, thinking that the evil spirit had been drawn here...I never expected to run into my adversary!" Chong Mo said fiercely.

"What are we dealing with" I hurriedly asked. "I'm not trying to make fun of you, but I'm a little scared. Tell me first so I can mentally prepare myself for what I need to do."

Hearing me say this, Chongmo's face improved a bit.

This guy is actually very straightforward, most of his emotions are written on his face.

At the time, Chong Mo called upon this "dwelling" to investigate the anomalies in this area. However, he hadn't expected it to be an underground world, which was now under the watchful eyes of his subordinates.

When he was about to take action against those little thugs, he was ambushed by a city lord who also came from the Demon Realm.

"Hold on, hold on" I rubbed my forehead. "Same demon realm Aren't you all under the Demon Lord's command Why are you fighting amongst yourselves And why did you get beaten up like this and have your cultivation sealed"

"What kind of cultivation have you been doing!" Chong Mo was so angry he was about to explode.

"There's no record of your Demon Realm in the human world! How am I supposed to cultivate All I know is that the Demon Trial takes place in the human realm..." I couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Hmph... Listen carefully to me, consider it a reward for you. I'll clear up your confusion." Chong Mo said to me with disdain and arrogance.

"You still know how to repay me" I muttered under my breath.

The magic of Taoism is not a dichotomy, but rather two sides of the same coin in the practice of cultivation.

The Great Emperor Yuanhuang said that the Ten Demonic Trials are like asking cultivators to keep their minds clear.

Calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

A thousand desires, ten thousand red dusts, nothing but a fleeting smile of clouds.

On the path of solitary practice, where one may experience loneliness, isolation, and even a lack of attainment, only those who remain steadfast and avoid falling into demonic paths have the potential for great success.

Therefore, among heaven, earth, gods, humans, ghosts, demons, and all immortals, almost everyone has interacted with the Demon Venerable. It can even be said that it is through the Demon Venerable's test that one can attain enlightenment.

Therefore, in some classics, the Five Emperors are depicted as summoning all the deities under heaven.

Of course, these are all immortals who have cultivated their way to divinity. Jiang Qiyun is a type of innate divine being and isn't included in this category.

From the depths of Shumo's silence, the threads of the demon realm became more distinct.

The Demon Realm has a total of five, namely the Five Emperors and Great Demons, corresponding to the five directions of the world.

Historically, the north was revered, so the Northern Black Sky Emperor Demon King held a more exalted status.

"Hmph, this isn't just about direction. In terms of strength, our Demon Lord is also the most powerful in the demon realm."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Five powerful demons, one for each cardinal direction and the center, ruled over their respective domains. Each had underlings like Chong Mo, who served as city lords—akin to vassals under their command.

However, these warlords had a tough time. They didn't have much chance to enjoy the good life with fine food and drink, but instead, they served as loyal subordinates, fighting in battles, running errands, and undergoing trials and tribulations... doing everything they could.

It makes sense, the Demon Realm isn't really about economic development, so it doesn't need much administrative management.

"What's going on in your head Of course you have to be controlled!"

"How could he possibly govern" I didn't believe someone like Mo Chong could manage a state.

"Just hit him."

">""<

"

Actually, speaking of it, according to the "administrative regions" of the Five Great Demon Kings, our province belongs to the south...

"Could it be that the ones who clashed with you were subordinates of the South Heaven Great Demon King"

Shun nodded silently, frowning: “Logically speaking… although we don't often deal with each other, we are both demon gods after all. That bastard actually sealed me directly, preventing me from investigating. It seems that the evil spirit was controlled by her…”

"Be specific, which spirit"

"That's the evil spirit that escaped from the corpse, eight hundred years old. It has a big head and a small body. After swallowing the yin spirits, its shape should be even more obvious - it's probably the one you saw on the roof of Yan's house!"

"Wait, wait, I'm a little confused..."

"What do you mean 'silly'"

The strips of cloth on the corpse's body bore writing resembling "offering blood, demon spirit transfer," that kind of thing. That must have appeared after it was tainted with Chen Ruo's blood, how could it be controlled by someone

"...Are you stupid Offering blood sacrifices, the demonic spirits transform 'lower', it's subduing them, not them descending."

After a moment's silence, he sneered coldly: "So what you're saying is that the demon spirit was subdued long ago, eight hundred years ago someone tampered with it."

Most of the information in my mind had been connected, and I was just about to summarize it when I heard the little ghost whisper to me, "Little Lady, Little Lady... There are living people coming—" go buy it, I'll go buy it! Little Qiao, let's go together"Um, ask me to go with youWhy don't you call me brotherJust as I was wondering, Lin Yanqin came over and took my hand, saying, "Come on, let's...
