After settling the matter at Shiyan Fortress.
Qin Shujian said goodbye and left directly.
As for the strong men from the sects who were native to the True Domain, they wanted to become familiar with him, but they did not dare to talk to him casually.
so.
Wait until Qin Shujian completely leaves.
Only then did some people beat their chests and realize that they had missed an opportunity to make friends with strong people.
After all, today's Yuan Zong.
Yiran is the top sect in Beiyun Mansion, and is a famous existence even in the Dazhao Thirteen Mansion.
If the sect he belongs to can get in touch with Yuan Zong.
Then as long as the other party gets a little benefit from the gaps between his fingers, it will be enough for these Zhenyu sects to have their mouths full of oil.
This is the top bulk.
The difference from ordinary Zhenyu sects.
the other side.
After leaving Shiyan Fortress.
Qin Shujian immediately rushed to the next fortress.
for him.
Now the matter of hunting down evil spirits is completely a race against time.
It's not that the situation is really critical now.
But in Qin Shujian's view.
The evil spirits in the true domain of Beiyun Mansion are already completely within his own pocket.
For this kind of luck value that is waiting to be harvested by oneself, waiting for one more day will be torture. Only when it is fully harvested is the greatest happiness.
—
"Master Marquis, would it be too risky for us to kill the evil spirits at this time?"
Looking at Beiyun Hou in front of him, Li Guangan asked hesitantly.
Although he is worshiped by Beiyun Mansion.
But I still heard about certain things, and I also knew a little about the reason why Da Zhao only suppressed evil spirits and never killed them.
"It's just a matter of time."
Marquis Beiyun shook his head slightly, but he didn't say much about Li Guangan's worries.
There is an altar for sealing evil spirits in Beiyun Mansion, but the imperial court originally sent a formation master to set it up.
But after hundreds or even thousands of years of time passed by these sealing altars, coupled with the constant impact of the evil spirits underneath, some of them have reached a limit.
In this situation.
The imperial court should have sent a grandmaster over to continue strengthening the formation.
But the current situation.
The imperial court simply did not have the extra power to take care of these things.
Seal the evil spirits before.
It is to restrain the power of the Demonic Abyss.
But no matter how hard we try to suppress these evil spirits, if we don’t kill them completely, there will eventually be endless troubles left behind.
For today's situation.
Instead of waiting for hidden dangers to erupt, it is better to eliminate them all at once. If there is an evil attack in the Demon Abyss in the future, you can just deal with it on your own.
What Beiyun Mansion has to do now.
It means burning the boat down.
If you try to juggle too much, you will end up failing both sides.
Seeing that Marquis Beiyun didn't want to talk more about this matter, Li Guangan also shut his mouth at the right time.
After all.
He is just a tribute to the Beiyun Hou Mansion.
He has no right to influence the decision of Beiyun Marquis.
Being able to ask a few questions is the reason why he is the other party's confidant.
—
Within ten days.
Qin Shujian went to eight fortresses in total and killed eight evil spirits.
these fortresses.
In the information given to him by Beiyun Marquis, there were several places that were specially marked and wanted him to go to first.
as expected.
When Qin Shujian rushed there, he found that there were problems with the seals of these eight fortresses.
Although not as good as Stone Rock Fortress.
It's already half broken.
but-
There was always a flaw in the seal, causing the demonic energy to escape.
Once the evil spirit escapes.
Then the problem is very troublesome.
At the very least, it means that when the demonic energy overflows, some people will be corrupted by the demonic energy and eventually become a member of the demonic disaster.
But as long as the strength is strong enough.
It is not easy to be eroded by demonic energy.
Unless the demonic energy is so strong that it reaches an extremely terrifying level, otherwise, as long as it reaches the level of peak qi and blood, it will be very difficult to corrode it with the demonic energy escaping from the seal.
When the demonic energy overflows, the main problem is that it will erode the surrounding areas into demonic soil, and then provide power to the evil spirits in reverse, making the seal more unstable and causing the seal to be broken.
These things can be big or small.
An inadvertent word.
It will cause a demonic disaster.
Fortunately, the strength of the demons sealed in these places are very average. For example, the evil master of Tianye in Shiyan Fortress needs to use the nine-star array to seal, but there is no one.
The strongest person can only use the seven-star array.
The level of formation.
Determines the strength of the evil spirit.
The strength of the evil master of Tianye is at the peak of the three heavenly locks of the world, and is almost as strong as the fourth heavenly lock of the world.
And the evil demon in the Seven Star Array.
The strength is only equivalent to that of a strong man who has condensed two heavenly locks of the world.
Facing such evil spirits.
Even if Qin Shujian didn't use King Ming Yehuo, he could dissipate the demonic energy from the beating and then beat him to death.
now.
He was standing in front of a fortress and showed his identity token.
Dongle (yue) Fortress.
This is Qin Shujian's goal this time.
Like several other fortresses, after seeing Beiyun Hou's token, the commanders of the fortress immediately opened the city gates to welcome him.
soon.
Then he saw someone coming out of it. When he walked to Qin Shujian, he clasped his fists and said, "Zhao Heng, the commander of Dongle Fortress, has met Sect Master Qin!"
"Commander Zhao is too polite."
"I wonder why Sect Master Qin is here?"
"Come for the devil."
"Please come in!"
Zhao Heng's face straightened, and he turned sideways and said.
During this period, Qin Shujian frequently visited various fortresses, and a lot of news about hunting evil spirits had spread.
After all, he is someone who can mainly hunt evil spirits.
The other party is still the first.
Whether it is the mortal realm or the real realm.
At least they are all demons in the realm of heaven and humans, which means they are the strongest in that realm.
Unless they are both Heavenly Beings and Overhauls.
otherwise.
There is almost no possibility for other monks to compete.
A strong man like Qin Shujian who could continuously hunt down demons alone found it difficult not to attract attention.
So in the beginning.
Zhao Heng could vaguely guess what Qin Shujian's purpose was here.
Wait until it is confirmed.
I was even more happy in my heart.
There is no other reason. Like other fortress defenders, Dongle Fortress was built over a long period of time. The defenders are stationed here all year round and are not allowed to leave without permission.
The defenders can also be rotated every few years.
But as a leader.
Zhao Heng was not so lucky.
Fifty years have passed since he arrived, and he is still guarding the fortress and is not allowed to leave without special circumstances.
Fifty years of suffering.
Although it didn't make him feel resentful.
But if you continue to suffer like this, everyone hopes to end this kind of life.
It's just that the demon's seal exists for a day.
Then the fortress will need people to guard it all day long.
But it's different now.
Qin Shujian is here. If the other party kills the evil spirits in the seal, there will be no need for Dongle Fortress to exist, and he will no longer need to guard it.
This way.
Nature is a good thing.
so.
When he saw Qin Shujian, Zhao Heng's attitude was very enthusiastic.
As the two of them entered the fortress, he turned his head and asked, "Sect Master Qin is here for the evil spirits. What do you need to do?"
"Are there any high-end casting materials in Dongle Fortress?"
"High-level casting materials?" Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "There are only some sixth-level materials in the fortress warehouse. I wonder if Sect Master Qin may use them?"
"The sixth-level materials are barely enough."
Qin Shujian nodded slightly.
"Commander Zhao, please take me there."
"Sect Master Qin, please come this way."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng did not refuse, and then took Qin Shujian to the warehouse of Dongle Fortress.
After showing the identity token.
The door to the warehouse is opened.
Enter the eyes.
What Qin Shujian saw was a large number of sacks piled up like a hill. Judging from the scattered traces on the ground, it could basically be seen that these sacks contained grain.
He was not surprised by this situation.
After all, Dongle Fortress is bigger than Shiyan Fortress.
According to Qin Shujian's understanding, the number of defenders inside had reached 200,000.
So many hands.
The amount of food that needs to be consumed every day is also huge.
If we don't accumulate enough food, I'm afraid the court will have to send people to deliver food every few days.
at this time.
Zhao Heng also explained on the side: "The population of Dongle Fortress is too large. Although we have cultivated fertile land for planting in some areas of the inner fortress, it cannot withstand the daily consumption.
These grains were shipped regularly by the imperial court to prepare for emergencies. "
"Do you still have fertile land for cultivation in Dongle Fortress?"
This time, Qin Shujian was really surprised.
You can kill enemies when you pick up weapons, and you can farm when you put down weapons.
Dongle Fortress's approach was somewhat familiar, but he didn't think too much about it.
Think about it carefully.
Qin Shujian somewhat agreed with Dongle Fortress' approach.
After all, a large army guards the fortress, and wars rarely happen. Two hundred thousand troops are placed here, with the support of the imperial court. Moreover, the fortress suppresses evil spirits, so there is no benefit in capturing the fortress.
Unless they are those who are anti-human.
otherwise.
No one will attack Dongle Fortress when they are full.
Thus.
The biggest reason why the army is placed here is just to deal with this possible event.
Even if the probability is astonishingly small.
However-
The matter of evil spirits is of great importance, and even if there is a one in 10,000 possibility, the court will not take it lightly.
Compared with the persistence of the two hundred thousand troops.
Once a demonic disaster occurs.
That is the death of millions, or even tens of millions of people.
"The warehouse for casting materials is over here. Master Qin, follow me." Zhao Heng just smiled and immediately led Qin Shujian to the side door.
After entering inside.
The warehouse at the side door is much smaller than the large warehouse just now, but it is also filled with various things.
When Qin Shu's sword spirit glanced over.
It didn't take long to find a few pieces of sixth-level ore from inside, then put them away, and then turned his head and said.
"Please also ask Commander Zhao to arrange a quieter and more open courtyard for me."
