Mortal Mage

"Den"

The door of a house was kicked open.

Bu Dazhen threw Zhang Mingxuan onto the floor inside the room.

"woo woo woo woo"

Zhang Mingxuan's throat was sealed by Bu Dazhen's magic, so he couldn't speak. His hands and feet were tied with ropes, so he couldn't move.

He stared at Bu Dazhen and stepped back with his knees sticking out.

He had a hunch that this guy would first question him and then kill him.

"Minister Zhang, don't be afraid. I'm not going to kill you today."

A blue medium-grade spirit stone was thrown out from Bu Dazhen's thumb ring. When the spirit stone was about to fall to the ground, he quickly opened his fingers and flew the spirit stone to Zhang Mingxuan's surroundings.

At the same time, he muttered something to himself, and with both hands he controlled the spirit stone to fly rapidly around the room.

If one has some experience in cultivation, one would be able to feel that the spiritual energy in the room at this moment seems to be chaotic, yet also seems to be in order, constantly stirring in the house.

The spiritual energy in the room gradually became thicker, emerging from the interior of the spirit stone, surrounding the entire room and quickly forming an invisible energy barrier.

The energy barrier is like a thick golden light curtain, completely isolating the inside and outside of the room, making it airtight and light-proof.

"call……"

Bu Dazhen took a deep breath, threw a pill into his mouth, and continued to control the spirit stones to run around in the room, manipulating the flow of spiritual energy.

Runes began to appear on the golden light curtain in the room. The runes shone on the golden light curtain, and the light curtain surrounded and blocked the entire room.

Within a dozen or so breaths, the spirit stone that was running around dimmed.

With a clang, the spirit stone fell to the ground.

"Sigh..."

Bu Dazhen took a deep breath and finished his exercise with his palms.

The golden light curtain in the room dimmed and disappeared at the same time, returning to normal.

"Minister Zhang, please sleep for three to five years first."

After saying this, he took out a dish of "evil incense" from his ring.

This incense was naturally a fake one that he had used to deceive Bu Dazhen by pretending to be "rosemary".

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Zhang Mingxuan stretched his legs desperately. It didn't matter if he slept for three to five years. The key point was that he was a mortal and he would starve to death in three to five days instead of three to five years.

Hua Yu flew into the basement of the attic on her sword, her spiritual sense constantly exploring the surroundings. She had clearly sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual power caused by casting a spell in an attic room under Zhou City.

Hua Yu put away her flying sword, with an anxious look on her pretty face. She said to Le Xin behind her in an anxious tone, "Brother Le Xin, this bearded man is full of tricks. You stay on the city wall and I will go in to save my good master..."

She realized she had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected herself, continuing, "Save Junior Brother Li's good friend. The bearded man is casting a spell, and I'm worried that Junior Brother Li's good friend might be in trouble."

"Oh, okay, then you better be careful, Junior Sister."

Le Xin looked a little surprised. He never remembered this junior sister being so kind-hearted.

Normally, some outer sect disciples were willing to give her spirit stones to let her train with them, but she was always reluctant. But today, she was so anxious for a mortal she didn't know.

"Brother Le Xin, please help me keep an eye on it!"

After Hua Yu gave his orders, he flew towards the bottom of Zhoucheng's attic on his sword.

-

Zhoucheng Underground Palace.

In the large and quiet stone room, the light from the spirit lamp diffracted on the stone windows of the room and reflected on the runes on the stone slabs on the ground. The runes flickered with a faint light.

"Deacon Zhen, three things. First, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining died in Zhou City. The murderer was named Yun, and he was just taken away by Xianyuan Sect."

"Secondly, a few fox demons escaped from the Beast Cloud Villa. The people of the Demon Subduing Sect said that this was a matter of the Beast Cloud Villa. Although the fox demons escaped from the demon house, they did not cause any trouble in the city, so they can't do anything about it for the time being."

"Third, someone in East City cast a spell, probably attacking something. Steward Li Chao from the Dingxiangfang and Steward Yang Kun from the Daoyin Sect went to check it out. They said it was just an unknown young man who was having a seizure after drinking, and they have already driven him away."

Zhen Youde was sitting cross-legged with his upper body naked in the center of the stone room. He clutched the jade slip in his hand, with his brows raised, eyes wide open, and a stern face, listening to the report from the jade slip.

Under his butt was a thick and hard round stone with a diameter of about three meters. The surface of the stone was engraved with complex runes and patterns, which flowed on the stone like living things, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

This round stone is the core of Zhoucheng's city defense formation and flying formation.

Sitting on the stone, he could feel a powerful spiritual power surging, which was able to connect with the entire Xianzhou City's flying formation and the city defense formation, driving the operation of the Xianzhou City's flying formation and the defense status of the city defense formation.

"Qi Yiqian, there are some disturbances in Zhoucheng. You take the demon-suppressing talisman stone and go catch the fox demon first. When we leave the Demon Island tomorrow, we will go to Xianyuanmen together to seek justice."

Zhen Youde changed a jade slip in his hand. Before he threw it away after he finished speaking, a burst of starlight flashed in front of him.

He swept his hand across quickly, catching the starlight.

"Brother Zhen! Something terrible has happened. I have lost the demon-suppressing talisman stone!"

The starlight turned into a jade slip, emitting a buzzing sound.
