Chapter 560: I'm Off

Lady Mitian personally admitted that to make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recover quickly, only the fall of gods would do. Clearly, she was talking about the Imperial Flowing Pulp.

Because after two Imperial Flowing Pulps a year, He He Lingchuan could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around him was richer than before.

This proved the conclusion that the Soul-Absorbing Mirror heard from Tianshengzi, that the human world and the so-called divine world had always been in a relationship of one rising and the other falling. In the three thousand years since the gods left, the spiritual energy of the world had not been able to recover to the level of the immortal era, because the gods had been sucking away the spiritual energy of the world through some method for their own use.

This method, Lady Mitian also said, was that the "Heavenly Net" would suck away the evil energy of this world.

The last time He He Lingchuan heard this term was from Fu Fu Shanyue. When the second scene of the Thousand Star City ruins appeared on the Twilight Plains, the Heavenly Luo Xing in the east shone brightly.

Clearly, this star could be seen as the lifeline of the gods, no, it was the umbilical cord. Through the Heavenly Luo Xing, the evil energy of the human world was continuously delivered to the gods.

In the past, evil energy mostly came from the Heavenly Luo Xing, and the gods couldn't get much even if they tried to get it privately, so they had to be content with their lot.

But Lady Mitian was unwilling to be lonely, and jumped out to stir up trouble at this time.

First, she launched the Panlong army to attack Xiji, obtained the divine remains that were still active from the Xiji Royal Palace, and then borrowed the power of the Great Fang Hu to make more than a thousand Dragon-Punishing Pillars!

The biggest function of this thing was to collect the freshest evil energy from the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it was intercepting the flow under the eyes of the Heavenly Luo Xing.

Anyway, the amount of evil energy provided by the human world in a period of time was limited. Every point intercepted by the Dragon-Punishing Pillar was a point less collected by the Heavenly Luo Xing.

It was equivalent to smuggling.

The instinct of any creature is self-interest. With such a sharp weapon, how could the gods resist not using it? If they used it, others of their kind would get less, so how could they sit idly by? To put it bluntly, evil energy was the most important resource in the divine world, and gods were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. How would those superiors and power-holders treat their kind who dug their own walls and stole their resources, and how would they treat the Dragon-Punishing Pillar?

Just as Lady Mitian said, these 1,200 Dragon-Punishing Pillars were 1,200 seeds of provocation and division, and there would be a harvest sooner or later if they were planted.

When the gods in the sky fall, their bones and blood essence turn into Imperial Flowing Pulp, returning to the human world.

After figuring out this cycle, He He Lingchuan understood Lady Mitian's wishful thinking, which was to scatter the Dragon-Punishing Pillars to the nations and commoners who worshipped foreign gods and evil gods, in hopes of provoking internal strife and disputes among the gods in the divine world over the distribution of evil energy.

The human world and the divine world were in a zero-sum game relationship. Whichever side had more humans/gods die, the other side would benefit accordingly.

Did Lady Mitian's strategy have any effect? Just say one thing: the Dragon-Punishing Pillar He He Lingchuan seized in reality was obtained from the disciple of the Frost Leaf National Master of the Between Beijia Nation.

Then where did the Dragon-Punishing Pillar in the hands of this National Master come from? Undoubtedly, it came from the believers of other nations and other gods.

The process of seizing the Dragon-Punishing Pillar must not have been very pleasant. This proved Lady Mitian right; many of the Dragon-Punishing Pillars scattered outside would eventually fall into the hands of Between Beijia.

Moreover, He He Lingchuan noticed that even the Between Beijia National Master used the Dragon-Punishing Pillar, which meant that there was likely a god standing behind him.

A god who was unwilling to be mediocre and wanted to get evil energy for himself.

Even the Between Beijia National Master dared to do this, so how many contradictions would be bred in the divine world surrounding evil energy? Lady Mitian's strategy was an open plot. Once the Dragon-Punishing Pillar was scattered, this causal chain began, almost independent of the will of gods or humans.

The pool of poisonous water she stirred up more than a hundred years ago still had ripples today.

Outside the window, the lark was singing, wanting to finish a difficult melody before autumn arrived.

He He Lingchuan was awakened by its call, recalled what he saw in his dream, and subconsciously sighed.

Was someone thinking of him, or did he put too much pepper powder in the roast lamb?

Lady Mitian herself was a god; why did she have to stand on the opposite side of her kind, keen on plotting against other gods? Another unsolved mystery.

And that Heavenly Luo Xing in the eastern sky, why did it react to the second scene of the Thousand Star City ruins? Did it have anything to do with the Great Fang Hu? The Heavenly Luo Xing was closely related to the gods, so did the gods notice the anomaly of the Thousand Star City ruins and send Bai Bai Ziqi to investigate? If there is one, there might be two, and if there are two, there might be three. Would Bai Bai Ziqi eventually trace it back to him, He He Lingchuan? Cen Boqing was arrested, Lord Zhongsun Mou was dead, and the original opponents in the letter carrier case could no longer threaten He He Lingchuan, but Bai Bai Ziqi, who represented the will of the gods, had become his biggest trouble.

He He Lingchuan could feel Bai Bai Ziqi's extra attention on him.

He believed that Bai Bai Ziqi had no evidence in his hands, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago, even if Fu Fu Shanyue was on the side to obstruct him. But this person's intuition was too strong. If he kept his eyes on him, He He Lingchuan was worried that he would reveal his flaws sooner or later.

Panlongcheng suddenly restored the history of the origin of the Dragon-Punishing Pillar; was it to remind him that he could try to make the Dragon-Punishing Pillar to divert the disaster and transfer Bai Bai Ziqi's attention? After all, Lady Mitian had already made it clear that some Dragon-Punishing Pillars were stained with the aura of the Great Fang Hu, which would alarm the gods and attract unnecessary attention.

After all, the divine bone necklace was worn around his neck, and the Great Fang Hu was always peeping at his whereabouts, so it should be clear about his current situation, right? The problem was, where could he get the divine bone to make the Dragon-Punishing Pillar? The necklace around his neck was definitely not okay.

Just then, there was a scratching sound at the door.

Jiao Yu came:

"General Hong ordered that He He Lingchuan is to be on duty at the Gan Ge Hall at the third quarter of noon tomorrow."

He He Lingchuan was moved: "The other case of the Cloud Commandant, has it also been investigated?"

"That's not clear." The fierce tiger didn't care about this, "The Crown Prince speculates that perhaps other demon kings have jointly petitioned the Emperor to investigate the Elixir of Immortality case, so the Emperor urgently summoned the Cloud Commandant back to report on his work. I heard that this case is already known to everyone in Lingxu City, and the Royal Court might feel great pressure."

Lawbreakers hunting demons for pearls, provoking the nerves of the demon people and the army.

The illegal activities of private refining and trading of the Elixir of Immortality were provoking the nerves of the gods.

Lingxu City might also feel it was difficult to handle, so it had to have the first person in charge of this case, Bai Bai Ziqi, rush back to answer the doubts of all parties.

And the forces involved in the Elixir of Immortality case were getting more and more, and Lingxu City also felt it was tricky.

He He Lingchuan stroked his chin and thought, this news was half good and half bad.

First, look at the good side: since Bai Bai Ziqi was ordered to return to the capital, he would be unable to stay in northern Chiyan to continue investigating the case. He He Lingchuan believed he would leave people behind to continue inquiring, but that was not Bai Bai Ziqi himself.

The bad news was that He He Lingchuan was about to leave the Chiyan border, and the ability of the Chiyan Monarch and his son to protect him would be greatly reduced. Once he arrived in Lingxu City, if Bai Bai Ziqi was still interested in him, tsk...

Now, he had to find a way to reduce Bai Bai Ziqi's interest in him.

He He Lingchuan patted the big tiger's head: "Before leaving, I want to buy a dozen sesame flatbreads as dry rations. Hmm, how about twenty catties of black-haired beef for you? My treat."

The fierce tiger licked its lips, flicked its tail, and agreed.

Baishajian had a lot of water, and the local black-haired cattle swam all year round and ate water grass, so their bodies were fit and the meat quality was excellent, which Jiao Yu especially liked.

He He Lingchuan summoned the goshawk outside the window again: "Help me go on a business trip, the reward is a hundred catties of rabbit meat, how about it?"

Fu Fu Shanyue had already arrived in Baishajian, and He He Lingchuan's special envoy career had ended, so logically the bird guard didn't have to listen to his orders anymore. However, the goshawk thought this person was quite good, easy to get along with, and hadn't treated it badly in terms of food and drink along the way, so it didn't think much and asked: "Where to?"

"Deliver a letter to Lingxu City for me." He He Lingchuan smiled, "Reward upon delivery, anyway we will meet in Lingxu City."

"Isn't it just a step ahead?" The goshawk had a straightforward temper, "Give me the letter."

He He Lingchuan handed over the written letter and gave the address. The goshawk flapped its wings and set off immediately.

Watching its figure disappear into the sky as a small black dot, He He Lingchuan let out a long breath.

The excuse he gave Bai Bai Ziqi had a big loophole. Once it was filled, it might be able to offset many of Bai Bai Ziqi's suspicions. It all depended on the results of the goshawk's trip, and he hoped everything would go smoothly.

Not long after passing the Chaohu Tower, He He Lingchuan was touched by the scene and suddenly thought of Mai Xuewen.

He didn't know where this fellow was.

Before he escaped, he gave He He Lingchuan a piece of advice to withdraw and avoid being smashed to pieces.

However, He He Lingchuan went in the opposite direction and now intended to jump into the center of the vortex.

Hey, it was too late to run now, so he could only move forward and swim back and forth in this muddy water.

Completing the entrustment and finding Zhu Yao Erniang's remains was just a small goal, and he hoped to complete it along the way.

On this trip to Lingxu City, He He Lingchuan had to solve a serious problem: he had to find out how the gods and the Emperor tracked the Great Fang Hu and intercept it.

As the wearer of the divine bone necklace, he could feel the Great Fang Hu becoming increasingly powerful and active.

It was difficult for a giant whale to swim in a shallow beach, and an elephant couldn't hide behind a monkey.

The Great Fang Hu couldn't be hidden forever. If it leaked its aura again, he would have to face the endless pursuit of the gods.

How long could he hide? The retired official Xiang Yan liked to say one sentence every time he chatted with him these days: Don't be in a hurry, take it slow.

But He He Lingchuan didn't know how much time he had left, and he couldn't take it slow.

It was best for him to strike first to avoid the tragedy of the Yuan Nation and Panlongcheng happening to himself.

This was knowing there were tigers on the mountain, yet heading toward the tiger mountain.

What others saw as the most prosperous place in the world was, to him, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, a turbulent and dangerous place.

Hey, yet he had to go.

But he also had advantages. He was alone, flexible in advance and retreat, and acted flexibly.

Between Beijia hated the Yuan Nation and cared about Panlongcheng, but wouldn't pay attention to a commoner like him.

The wind in Baishajian began to turn cool, blowing on his body, refreshing and dispelling the irritability. He He Lingchuan pressed his knuckles, making two cracking sounds.

The number one city in the world, I'm coming. — "Ideal Kingdom of Demons (Upper Volume)" ends here, and from tomorrow, the book enters a new chapter "Ideal Kingdom of Demons (Lower Volume)"
