Imperial Demon Slayer Division

"During this period of time, Xiang Kui will stay with you to protect your safety. With his strength at the peak of the fifth realm, you will be absolutely safe unless Lu Ji'an and Lu Mingsheng take action."

Nangongshan nodded and said

"Thank you for your concern."

After Gu Yan explained some things to Nangong Shan, he left the county governor's mansion and secretly went to the Qijue Palace in Yanzhou.

No one knew that Gu Yan had returned to Jiangnan County, so naturally he couldn't let anyone know that he had gone to Qijue Palace.

On the day of Ren Woxiao's wedding, the seven elders including Ouyang Guanhua performed the Seven Stars Array that truly amazed everyone.

Seven Guiyuan Realm warriors, relying on this killing array, were able to face off against a Tongxuan Realm warrior and five Guiyuan Realm warriors. This array showed the strength of the Seven Absolute Saints in the art of array.

This hero from the southwest is probably as good as Lu Ji'an in terms of formation power. He must be able to recognize these formation materials.

After several days of full-speed flight, the peak of Qi Jue Palace that was submerged in the clouds finally appeared in Gu Yan's sight.

After approaching the Qijue Palace, Gu Yan descended from the clouds and landed directly on the main peak of the Qijue Palace.

As soon as Gu Yan landed, he saw Ren Woxiao holding the little witch's hand and walking out.

"Hey? Brother Gu? Why are you here?"

When Gu Yan saw Ren Woxiao, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"I have something to ask the Seventh Saint Lord."

Gu Yan's eyes swept over the newlyweds, then he suddenly grinned and joked

"Brother Ren, are you going on a honeymoon?"

When the little witch heard Gu Yan's words, her pretty face turned red. She hid half of her body behind Ren Wo Xiao and buried her head in Ren Wo Xiao's shoulder.

When Ren Woxiao saw the shy look of the little witch, he burst into laughter.

"Yes, Brother Gu, we are going on a honeymoon."

Ren Wo Xiao emphasized the last three words especially, deliberately trying to tease the little witch.

The result was a sharp pain in my waist. The little witch pinched my waist with her white and tender hands and twisted the soft flesh in my waist.

The pain made the smile on my face freeze and slowly turn into a bitter look.

After seeing this scene, Gu Yan suppressed his smile, cleared his throat and said

"By the way, Brother Ren, where are you two planning to go for fun?"

Ren Woxing gently slapped away the little witch's hand that was pinching his waist and said

"The little witch has been practicing in the dark poisonous place most of the time, so I plan to take her to Jiangnan County to see the misty rain there."

When Gu Yan heard Ren Woxiao say that he was going to Jiangnan County, he immediately shook his head and said

"Brother Ren, there may be a war in Jiangnan County soon. I suggest you go to Huaizhou. Chunfeng County also has the mist and rain of Jiangnan."

Ren Woxiao patted his head lightly, and immediately remembered what he had seen and heard at Tianwu Gate a few days ago, and said

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this. Then the two of us will go to Chunfeng County. We can also go to the Li River to watch the waves on the way."

"Then we two will leave first. Master has sensed your presence approaching the Seven Absolute Palace early on and is waiting for you in the main hall."

Gu Yan nodded slightly and said

"I'll go drink with you again after we finish the matter in Jiangnan County."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Gu in Chunfeng County."

"Okay, have a nice trip."

……

After Ren Woxiao left, Gu Yan used his spiritual sense to find the location of the Qijue Palace's main hall, then took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared in the main hall.

The strongest person in the southwest, Juemiesheng, who was wearing a loose black robe and exuding a mysterious aura, looked at Gu Yan with a gentle smile.

"King Dingnan, we meet again."

Gu Yan clasped his fists towards Juemiesheng and said

"This time, I came to the Qijue Palace to ask the Holy Lord to help me look at something and see what it is used for."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he took out the materials for casting the array from the space ring and used his true energy to support them and brought them to Juemiesheng.

Juemiesheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and said softly

"The Demon Slayer Division's Martial Arts Department gathers masters from all over the world, but they can't even tell the difference between the types of array casting tools? Is it necessary to come to me?"

Gu Yan shook his head gently and said

"The masters of the Ministry of Martial Arts are least skilled in formations, and time is urgent. I cannot visit every demon-slaying office in every prefecture."

"The last time Rui Bing and Gu Yue Demon Lord raided the Qi Jue Palace, the seven elders including Ouyang Guanhua performed the Seven Star Killing Formation, which amazed me so much that I came to the Saint Lord for help."

The Seventh Saint Lord hummed softly when he heard this, then took the pieces of array casting materials in his hand and looked through them for a while, then said:

"These things are the materials for refining the Lingyin Formation."

The Lingyin Formation is the best breath-retaining formation in the world today. Once covered by this formation, even if someone breaks through to the Chui Tian realm, I'm afraid not a single breath will leak out.

With the support of this formation, Lu Mingsheng would probably not be noticed even if he created more zombies.

"As far as I know, with the disappearance of Lu Mingsheng, this Lingyin Formation also disappeared."

"Where did Lord Gu get these things from?"

After the Seventh Saint Lord finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Gu Yan's face didn't look good, so he quickly said

"Could these things come from the Lu family?"

Gu Yan nodded slightly and said

"I previously suspected that Lu Mingsheng also had a method for refining corpses. He hid his whereabouts in order to secretly refine corpses and then use some means to extend his lifespan."

"Now it seems that it is true, Lu Mingsheng is really refining corpses in secret"

"But Lu Mingsheng has no connection with the evil spirits, so what's the point of him refining corpses?"

After a moment's silence, the Seventh Saint said

"Your Highness, you may not know that there is something called blood essence in the body of zombies, which can extend the lifespan of humans. However, the blood essence in a zombie is very small, and Lu Mingsheng is a strong man in the Tongxuan realm. If he wants to meet the requirement of extending his life, he needs a large amount of zombie blood essence."

"Your Highness, don't worry about this. After the Xiao family case, the Demon Slayer Division has been extremely concerned about cases such as tomb robbery, grave digging, and mass killings. Lu Mingsheng doesn't dare to collect corpses wantonly, so he can only collect them secretly. Therefore, it will take a lot of time to collect enough blood essence to extend the life of a Tongxuan realm expert. You have plenty of time to catch him."

After the Seventh Saint Lord finished speaking, Gu Yan shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice

"Saint Lord, don't forget that Lu Mingsheng disappeared long before the Xiao family was destroyed. During the years he disappeared, he was most likely collecting corpses in secret. Over the past few decades, it is estimated that the number of zombies he refined has already reached a very terrifying number."

"Now he has asked the Lu family to collect a large amount of materials for refining the Lingyin Formation. Is it possible that he can use the opportunity of refining a large amount of blood essence to greatly increase his lifespan and break through to the Chui Tian realm?"

After a moment of silence, the Saint of Qi Jue nodded and said

"It is very likely that Lu Mingsheng is a strong man from the same era as Xiao Changsheng. He has been practicing for hundreds of years and his foundation must be very deep. If he takes advantage of the opportunity of greatly increasing his lifespan and rejuvenating his body, he may really take advantage of the opportunity to advance to the Chui Tian realm."
