Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

A total of one stick of incense time passed, and Shen Yian returned to the City Lord's Mansion alone.

After all, Shi Jian is a warrior in the Tianwu realm, his mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he relied on his perseverance to withstand the damage of the red thread.

Shen Yian explained his intention to help Shi Jian clear the red threads in his spiritual space.

After the red thread was cleaned up, Shi Jian's condition improved a lot. He did not dare to delay and personally led the way for Shen Yian.

"Lord Imperial Envoy, this is the passage to the core area of ​​the city defense formation."

"Because of this strange disease, we have temporarily blocked it off."

Shi Jian operated the mechanism to open the heavy iron door.

The moment the iron gate opened, a cold wind blew out.

Almost at the same time, Long Yuan appeared and hovered in front of Shen Yian. A dragon's might turned into golden ripples and spread out, sweeping away the surging corrupt aura.

Shen Yian's expression was extremely serious, with a strong smell of corruption. It seemed that the main problem really came from below.

The core area of ​​the barbarian city defense formation is usually located dozens of meters underground, or even deeper, so that the entire area cannot be cleansed by the Xuanhuang Qi of the Xuanhuang Ruler.

"Buzz!"

Under the watchful eyes of Shi Jian and several soldiers, Shen Yian summoned the Xuanhuang Ruler with a thought, using the Xuanhuang Qi to clear a path.

"General Shi, have all your men leave the City Lord's Mansion temporarily, and have everyone around you stay away as well."

Shen Yian turned his head and said.

He was afraid that the noise he made down there would be too loud, and the entire City Lord's Mansion would collapse into a sinkhole just like in Linyao City.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy."

Shi Jian didn't ask why. Since the emperor's envoy had spoken, he just had to do as he was told.

After saying that, Long Yuan and Xuan Huang Chi protected on both sides while Shen Yian went down the stairs and went deep into the core area of ​​the city defense formation.

The deeper you go, the stronger the smell of corruption becomes.

Due to the shocking explosion in Linyao City before, the magic devices used by the barbarians to provide energy for the city defense array have all been removed and replaced with temporary city defense array devices provided by the Tiangong Department.

After all, it's our own stuff, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

Unless the barbarians bribed the people from the Tiangong Department, they could tamper with this batch of devices.

But the probability is too small.

The Tiangong Department is one of the four departments of the Wuwei Division. The Wuwei Division has very strict internal self-inspection, especially for special departments like the Tiangong Department.

Don't forget that it has been less than half a year since the death of the former Director General of the Ministry of Works, Bian Wenji. The Ministry of Works has carried out a wave of purges from top to bottom. It is impossible that the purge was not thorough and there are still "mole" hiding in it.

Shen Yian was full of thoughts, and he had already arrived at the core area of ​​the city defense formation.

It was pitch black all around, without any light or any energy fluctuations.

The space in the core area here is so huge.

Shen Yian scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and was secretly surprised. The surroundings were unusually vast, and the high platform in the center where the city defense formation was placed was like an altar, located here.

To be precise, the scene before us does look like a place for sacrifice.

strangeness.

Logically speaking, the device that maintains the city defense formation should produce some energy fluctuations, so how could there be no reaction at all?

Shen Yian frowned, and the smell of corruption became stronger.

Is the source here? What could be causing this?

While thinking, Shen Yian was about to condense a few fireballs to illuminate the space. The next second, he instinctively grabbed Long Yuan and swung out with a sword.

"boom!!!"

The pale sword energy flashed in the dark space and collided with a huge red claw in a shocking manner.

"Roar..."

In the darkness, a strange humanoid creature appeared. It was covered with red muscles and had a pair of terrifying claws. Its head was covered with long black hair, and a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen. It was three or four meters tall.

A very ancient aura spread out, and Shen Yian's pupils shrank slightly. This strange creature actually had the strength of the ninth level of the Divine Wandering Realm!

The sword energy pushed back the ancient monster but failed to hurt it at all, causing it to roar in anger.

That’s right!

This ancient monster exudes the smell of corruption from head to toe.

Just as Shen Yian was concentrating on the scene in front of him, a sound of tearing air was heard in the darkness, and something was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

There's another one?!

Shen Yian was shocked and doubtful, and did not dare to be careless at all. The Xuanhuang ruler was hung on the side, and the Xuanhuang energy turned into a vortex, surging around him, sweeping away the surging corrupt power.

At the same time, he summoned the Emperor Willow from his body and held it in his other hand. The Old Willow Tree and the Mountain and River Seal were both suspended above his head.

Space confinement!

"Crack!"

The other ancient creature that was rushing towards him broke through the blockade of space force and swung its sharp claws at him.

"Qiang!"

Long Yuan and Di Liu drew their swords at the same time.

At the same time as the ancient creature's claws were cut off by Di Liu, Long Yuan roared and blasted out a sword light, like a giant spear, knocking it away.

In a moment, the ancient creature that was knocked away at the beginning pounced towards Shen Yian again at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

A space vortex appeared to the side of Shen Yian, and then Kui Ling's burly figure quickly emerged from it.

The red light in Kui Ling's eyes almost solidified. The moment his feet touched the ground, all the strength in his body was accumulated. He crushed the floor beneath his feet and crashed into the ancient creature like a cannonball.

"boom!"

With Ghost Face's intensive training, Kui Ling has already reached the sixth level of the human Divine Wandering Realm, but thanks to the characteristics of a corpse puppet, especially after being tempered by heavenly thunder and earthly fire, he has transformed into a red-gold fire puppet, and his physical strength is extremely terrifying.

To some extent, its physical strength has surpassed that of a Half-Step Lunzang Realm expert, and can be compared to some extremely powerful spiritual treasures and magical instruments.

Kui Ling and the ancient creature were like two mountains colliding with each other. The sound was earth-shaking and made the entire core area tremble wildly.

On the other side, Shen Yian used the characteristics of the Emperor Willow to directly cut off the limbs of the ancient creature in front of him.

Although this ancient creature can rely on this strange body to break through some of the constraints and restrictions of power, fortunately it is not immortal and cannot heal quickly.

Shen Yian's dark eyes were full of doubts.

How could there be two ninth-level Divine Wandering monsters hiding here? !

And they have been hiding here.

If any one of them got out, it would be a disaster for Shi Jian and thousands of soldiers.

There's also the bigger question of how they got here.

It can't just appear out of thin air, right?

If it had been premeditated, Xiao Jin and other soldiers on guard would not have survived until now and would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"when!"

Shen Yian's body suddenly shook and he dodged a swing from a worn iron knife.

What caught my eye was an ancient creature covered with a layer of purple scales. Its aura was even stronger than those two ancient creatures. It was half a step into the Lunzang realm!

It was silent and could not be detected by spiritual sense. Could it be that it appeared out of thin air?

Shen Yian even suspected that he was under an illusion.

wrong!

Shen Yian's eyes were stern, this feeling of being on edge...

In the core area, in addition to him, Kui Ling and the three monsters, there was a pair of eyes secretly observing him.

who is it? !
