Drunk Immortal Gourd

With tens of thousands of people gathered together, you can imagine how lively it is. As a result, these people have been restricted in their freedom and have to stay inside the walls for a long time without being able to go out. Especially those who came back earliest have been locked up for almost half a year. Those who came back early all have backgrounds and thought they would be relieved sooner they came back, but they ended up being prisoners after returning. There has been no explanation for such a long time, so the anger in their hearts has grown day by day and has reached the critical point of explosion, which has caused great pressure on the interrogators.

The key is that these people are all our own people, and they are heroes who have returned from Duanyun Prefecture. We cannot use too harsh measures. After going through all of them, those with problems have already been found out, and going through those who have not been found out again will not have much effect. In this case, there is no need to keep them locked up any longer.

The interrogators discussed again and again and gave a clear answer. There were three main points. First, a certain degree of freedom would be restored to the returning demon cultivators. They could go out for exchanges and activities in the future, but they could not leave the surrounding area within dozens of miles. The interrogators would be on guard in the surrounding area, and those who left without permission would be wanted throughout the state as spirit spies. Second, the returning demon cultivators could notify their family or friends to come and pick them up. If their friends or family also confirmed that there was no problem, then there was really no problem and they were allowed to leave. Third, they were allowed to report or surrender themselves voluntarily. There would be a heavy reward for reporting, and those who surrendered themselves voluntarily could be treated leniently, and they might even be allowed to practice magic and become one of the spirit cultivators.

These measures have somewhat eased everyone's resistance. Some who were close, or whose relatives and friends had come to greet them, left one after another after getting permission. Those who were far away could only consider themselves unlucky, or use a communication talisman to notify their friends and old acquaintances, or ask others to send messages on their behalf, and could only leave after their relatives and friends arrived. The Blood River State is not smaller than the Broken Cloud State of the Spirit Clan. It would take at least several decades to cross it. Fortunately, the demons built more than one invasion altar, and only the nearby demon cultivators would set out from here, so the furthest away would only take a few years to travel. This waiting time is not too long for cultivators with a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Qingyang didn't expect the demons to have this trick, especially the second one, which was very targeted. Since the demon cultivators who were checking had set the conditions, they would definitely restrict the status of the demon cultivators who came to confirm and pick up people. Not just any cat or dog could pick up people. It was said that a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm could only pick up one person at a time, and a cultivator of the Fusion Realm could pick up five people at a time. As for those whose cultivation was lower than the Refining Void Realm, they were not even qualified to pick up people. In order to avoid revealing their identities, the spirits who came to Xuehezhou often acted alone. When they arrived in Xuehezhou, they were completely in the dark. Where could they find someone to pick them up?

Fortunately, Qingyang had someone to help him. Demon Lord Yu Shou said that Qingyang didn't need to worry about this matter. He had already used the ultra-long-distance communication talisman to contact two friends in the Void Refinement Realm to come over, but the distance was a little far and it would take a year to arrive. During this period of time, he could only stay here temporarily.

Of course, Qingyang also had to guard against being reported by Yu Shou Demon Lord. The reward given by the interrogator was very generous, and most people would definitely be tempted. However, from the current point of view, Yu Shou Demon Lord was still very honest, and there was nothing unusual about the soul imprint Qingyang left on him. As for turning himself in? Qingyang would definitely not be so stupid as to believe whatever the demon clan said. Once he took the initiative to turn himself in, he could only hope that the demon clan would keep their promise. Qingyang did not like the days when his life and death were controlled by others.

After all, only a few people who lived nearby were able to leave in time, and the vast majority lived far away. There were as many as 50,000 to 60,000 demon cultivators who stayed temporarily. With their freedom no longer restricted, this place suddenly became lively. Temporary markets, arenas, alchemy and weapon refining workshops were opened. It was extremely prosperous and even attracted many foreign cultivators to participate. Among the tens of thousands of demon cultivators who had experienced decades of war, almost everyone had become rich. Not only did they have a lot of cheap things to sell, but their purchasing power was also amazing.

The more people there are, the more chaotic it is, which adds a great burden to the inspection personnel, but this kind of thing is unavoidable, and they can only work hard. Fortunately, most of the cultivators are very self-conscious, and almost no one sneaks away. In fact, this is normal. After several rounds of inspections in Qianji City and here, only a few of the fifty spies sent by the spirit clan are left. Almost all of those who can survive until now are like Qingyang who are cautious by nature and have many means. They will not show up rashly, and it is not easy for the demon clan to catch a few more.

As his cultivation was not effective, Qingyang seldom went into seclusion. He spent most of his time outside, wandering around the market, watching the arena, participating in exchanges, or inquiring about the customs and habits of Xuehe State, so that he would not be unfamiliar with the roads when he left in the future. Occasionally, he would also look around the altar to see if there was a chance to embed the talisman in his hand into the altar. After all, this was his most important mission in Xuehe State.

As a result, Qingyang went there several times but didn't find a suitable opportunity. Yes, the demons had already known through soul searching that the mission of the spirit spy was to blow up the teleportation array, so how could they not send someone to observe secretly? There must be a lot of sentries around the altar, and going there now would be like walking into a trap.

Qingyang was also a man who could keep his composure. Seeing that he could not find any opportunity, he patiently continued to wait. He waited for a whole year. Finally, all the people that Demon Lord Yu Shou had invited arrived, and the talisman was still in Qingyang's hand. Now Qingyang was a little anxious. The talisman could not be discarded. It would self-destruct if it was five feet away from the body. It could only be embedded in the altar to remove the formation that Saint Lord Tianjian had bestowed on it. If he could not use the talisman before leaving here, wouldn't he be affected when the talisman self-destructed three years later?

Compared to other people, the threat of the talisman to Qingyang is not very big, because his talisman is in the space of Zuixian Lake. Because of this, he can avoid the layers of inspection of the demons, and Zuixian Lake is very advanced and can withstand the self-detonation of the talisman. Qingyang himself will not be affected too much, but the loss will definitely not be small. The self-detonation of the talisman is comparable to a fatal blow from a combined cultivator, and the internal space of Zuixian Lake is only more than 800 miles long and wide. After the self-detonation, the inside will definitely be blown upside down, and nothing can be saved. Inside is his belongings accumulated over countless years, and Qingyang is reluctant to waste it. After all, it will be a trouble to keep the talisman in his hand, so he still has to use it.

Demon Lord Yu Shou's two friends were a hoarse-voiced old man in a red robe, who had reached the second level of the Refined Void Realm, and a pink-dressed woman with peach blossom patterns on her face, who had reached the first level of the Refined Void Realm. It had taken them a year to get here, and of course they wouldn't leave immediately, especially after they saw the market town here. They were attracted by the bustle and extremely cheap prices, so they planned to take a good look around and were not in a hurry to leave, so they gave Qingyang some time to complete the task.
