Chapter 155: The Black Crow God, Activating the Demon Sealing Tower (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

He Mao Chun Yi Lang summoned this humanoid Evil Spirit.

And that spider-bodied Evil Spirit that Su Ping was beating, strictly speaking, was more like a stitched-together monster from the myths of Sakura Country.

If one were to examine it strictly, any mythological prototype applied to it would feel somewhat incongruous.

However, in the face of the physical entity, I imagine no one would care about these details anymore.

If anyone feels something is wrong, it must be that the recorded data is flawed.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang heard the Secret Language of the fox-masked Shrine Maiden once again.

He hurriedly commanded the Shikigami, which looked like a Great Tengu but had a crow's head, to charge into the sky, and it spread its hands along with its wings, emitting a faint black light.

Caw!

Accompanied by a crow's cry that resounded over the Sakura Capital.

The Shikigami that He Mao Chun Yi Lang summoned actually transformed into tens of thousands of black crows.

And these crows had black flames constantly burning on their bodies.

And after another crow's cry.

They rushed toward the Imperial Palace like a storm of wind and rain, smashing into the body of that large Evil Spirit.

And as the black flame crow swarm exploded on the surface of the Evil Spirit's body, it caused the black flames to spread all over the opponent.

The crow flock in the air also seemed capable of constantly regenerating new black crows.

It actually kept up this offensive, relying on the crow swarm to blast the entire body of that large Evil Spirit until it crashed down with a boom.

In terms of special effects, this scene was quite magnificent and shocking.

It could be called a rare, grand spectacle!

Yet Su Ping knew that if he did not intervene, this crow Shikigami would soon be hung up and beaten by that large spider below!

After all, one was a mass-produced item with enhanced strength.

The other was merely a semi-finished product that still needed to rely on a large amount of faith energy to be nurtured day and night to grow slowly.

The ultimate move looked quite flashy, but unfortunately, it was not practical yet!

Fortunately, he was on the scene, so he could control the situation!

Roar!

The large Evil Spirit, having been caught off guard, poked its angry head out from the body that had been blasted into a pile of mush.

A grayish-white light emerged on its head, easily blocking the black flames generated by the self-destruction of the black crows pouncing from all around.

Then, just as white light emerged from the pupils of this head, intending to counterattack.

A Golden Light descended and smashed this large head.

At the same time, as the fox-masked Shrine Maiden in the air waved her small hand gently.

Several Purple Light Fox Talismans were mixed into the crow swarm and submerged into the Evil Spirit's mushy body on the ground.

And after successfully summoning within its body, she used the power of thunder.

Instantly, the large Evil Spirit, which had been subjected to biased interference, had no power to resist and completely became a target for the crow swarm's attacks.

The people outside did not know about the little tricks inside.

They could only see that as the humanoid crow Shikigami summoned by that He Mao Chun Yi Lang began to strike.

The monster that had been trading blows with that fox-masked Shrine Maiden was directly suppressed and beaten.

And this time, the self-recovery ability of that mush was clearly restricted.

Several seconds had passed, and it had not been able to regrow its head and arms.

What did this explain? It explained that only the Shikigami of a Yin-Yang Master could suppress the regenerative abilities of these monsters, right?

They thought to themselves.

Soon they saw the crows suddenly stop their collisions, and instead, after opening their sharp beaks and emitting ear-piercing cries, even the ones in the air swarmed forward, instantly filling the Imperial Palace.

They began to devour the fallen Evil Spirit mush.

In just a few dozen seconds, the black crow swarm covering the Imperial Palace flew up in unison and merged in the air into a three-meter-tall humanoid Shikigami with a crow's head and wings.

Then this Shikigami turned into a black light and submerged into the body of He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

Su Ping glanced at the devastated Imperial Palace and controlled the fox-masked Shrine Maiden to fly in front of He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

Although he had the Nether Ghost Body.

It was considered a very good host for an incense god.

But in such a short time, letting two incense gods enter his body was obviously still too much of a strain.

The crow Shikigami ate the mush, but it did not truly destroy that large Evil Spirit.

It just used itself as a container to seal that large Evil Spirit, which had been stripped of most of its Evil Qi and was temporarily unable to resist.

This was also the reason why it instinctively returned to He Mao Chun Yi Lang's body at the end.

If no one managed it... once Su Ping withdrew the Spirit Qi Array, he would just be uncomfortable for a while, and then that would be it.

But how could Su Ping not manage it?

He had also put in a great deal of effort for these incense gods to be born!

He used the identity of the fox-masked Shrine Maiden to remind He Mao Chun Yi Lang of his current terrible state.

After seeing that the other party was so uncomfortable he couldn't speak and could only use his eyes to plead for help.

The fox-masked Shrine Maiden laughed softly, and her Divine Sense enveloped He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

Immediately, the spider-bodied Evil Spirit, which had already been compressed and condensed to the size of a glass bead, was extracted, wrapped in Divine Sense, and placed into her sleeve.

Then, after the fox-masked Shrine Maiden, having obtained this Evil Spirit, gave a few reminders to He Mao Chun Yi Lang, who had immediately knelt to thank her, she disappeared into the Park, hidden, just as she had arrived.

Su Ping could not wait to see if the Demon Sealing Tower could seal this kind of incense god.

After the great battle, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

In the rain, after the officials and soldiers of Sakura Capital confirmed that the extraordinary battle seemed to have ended, and that it appeared to be their side that had won.

Only then did they rush in to begin various rescue operations.

As for He Mao Chun Yi Lang, several ministers and generals even came running over together with humble smiles.

Disregarding the bone-chilling cold around He Mao Chun Yi Lang, they fawningly asked this Yin-Yang Master what he required.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang naturally had requests.

He sat on the ground silently recovering his Spirit Qi, and after feeling slightly better, he raised his head.

Because of the presence of the crow Shikigami, a flash of black light crossed his eyes.

It stung the ministers looking at him, making their whole bodies turn cold, and they froze in the rain, unable to move.

Fortunately, He Mao Chun Yi Lang noticed and hurriedly withdrew his power, which caused those ministers to collapse onto the ground, unable to stand back up.

Yet they dared not complain to the culprit who had caused all of this.

"My Shikigami is named the Black Crow God."

"It is a martial god that repels evil and subdues demons."

"Help me recruit priests and Shrine Maidens in every region."

"I want its Shrine to be opened in every district."

"My Kamo Clan will also, from this moment on, become the servant clan of the Black Crow God!"

He Mao Chun Yi Lang spoke very slowly.

The ministers and generals also carried recording equipment on them.

Because of this, the big shots who were still conscious and those High Priests were also listening clearly in the Safe House far away.

The big shots naturally supported this.

After all, He Mao Chun Yi Lang had already demonstrated his ability as a Yin-Yang Master.

As for the losses this time... weren't those caused by the evildoers?

In order to avoid suffering greater losses in the future, shouldn't they support He Mao Chun Yi Lang even more vigorously?

Of course, after doing all this, privately asking if they could recruit disciples, or if they could follow him to learn Yin-Yang arts or other techniques, was naturally the proper thing to do.

And if they could use this connection with He Mao Chun Yi Lang to get in touch with that fox-masked Shrine Maiden who was clearly even more powerful, that would be even better!

The High Priests, however, all had somewhat pale complexions.

They had sensed that this moment would come, but they had not expected it to arrive so quickly.

Once He Mao Chun Yi Lang's Shrine was built, it was easy to imagine that both the reputation and the benefits distributed from above.

Would mostly be taken away by him.

How could they be willing to accept this?

After all, speaking of orthodoxy... their history was much longer!

"Sigh, Old Ancestors, why didn't you leave anything for us?"

"Could it be that the deities we worship and believe in do not exist? Or perhaps they don't need us, and it was just our ancestors' wishful thinking to attach themselves to them?"

"No, this is impossible!"

"It must be a problem with the descendants' talent; we must find the gifted individuals belonging to our clan!"

The High Priests each had their own thoughts.

Fortunately, the big shots did not make things difficult for them.

In fact, if possible, these big shots also hoped that a second or third He Mao Chun Yi Lang would appear.

Only when extraordinary people became more numerous could they display their most skilled talent for dancing with long sleeves.

Instead of being like this now, acting like obedient... servants in front of He Mao Chun Yi Lang!

To be honest, they did not like or get used to this feeling.

On the internet, as the information gradually fermented.

Especially after the destroyed Imperial Palace was exposed.

It suddenly became a hot topic.

Many who were skeptical had to admit that this matter was a bit big.

Theories about the recovery of Spirit Qi, invasion by another world, and so on also became popular.

This caused various communities to enter a state of chaos.

Then, in this state, a recruitment notice from Sakura Capital was spread, immediately causing another heated discussion.

It was that Sakura Country had begun recruiting priests and Shrine Maidens.

Like many Shrines, part-time work was allowed, and those with experience were welcome to join.

What attracted attention were the benefits and the deity being served.

In terms of benefits, the hourly wage was almost two to three times that of other Shrines!

And it was said that there was a small test every month, and those who passed the test would receive a generous bonus!

In addition, the deity was a Black Crow God that many people had never heard of.

Some rumored that this was the Shikigami of that Yin-Yang Master, He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

So now, the priests and Shrine Maidens competing for these positions in Sakura Country were almost going crazy!

The personnel responsible for recruitment had therefore increased again and again.

So much so that people who were not from Sakura Country were also curiously asking if those positions could accept outsiders?

…………

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping did not care about these follow-up matters; anyway, those professionals would handle the troublesome things themselves.

After Su Ping returned to the Pot Heaven, he headed toward the Demon Sealing Tower.

After entering the first floor.

Su Ping took out the Evil Spirit that had shrunk into a glass bead.

A faint white light immediately emerged on the first floor of this stone tower.

The Evil Spirit flew up and submerged into a prison cell on the first floor.

Very quickly, the Evil Spirit recovered its original form.

Yet, inside the cell, it turned into a small Evil Spirit with its size shrunk to only half a meter tall.

Its appearance remained unchanged; it still had a human upper body and a spider-like lower body.

It wanted to escape, but as soon as it left the center of the cell, pale white chains appeared on its body to stop its movement.

At the same time, Su Ping could see that energy was constantly being extracted from this Evil Spirit into the Demon Sealing Tower, becoming one of its energy sources.

A stream of information also appeared and updated.

【Sealed Tier 1 Demon: 1】

【Current Charging Efficiency: 1】

【Estimated to obtain one random Sacred Beast phantom summoning opportunity every 100 hours.】

【Current cumulative summoning count: (0/4)】

"Are Evil Spirits, or rather incense gods, demons that can be sealed?"

"Finally, this special building has been activated."

"The Sacred Beast phantoms must be the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu of the four directions, right?"

"They are Sacred Beasts after all; even if they are only phantoms, or have other restrictions, they should still have many wonderful uses, right?"

"As for the number of sealed demons."

"With the Nether Ghost Body, taking it slow, I will always be able to fill up this Demon Sealing Tower!"

"And continue to upgrade it when the time comes."

"Perhaps one day, I will be able to directly summon the true Four Sacred Beasts to guard my home?"

Su Ping fantasized about the future for a while, then earnestly began to cultivate again.

One's own strength is still very important!

Jiuye Mountain Market.

Manager Dongfang brought back more than ten demon women for the Market Master again.

These were all acquired by him personally after delegating his affairs to his trusted aides.

After all, he really did not trust anyone else besides himself.

Su Ping summoned this sensible Manager Dongfang as usual under the identity of Baihe Zhenren.

After offering a few words of encouragement, Su Ping gave him a bottle of Pill as a reward.

Then, he looked at this batch of demon women.

Among the twelve demon women, there were two snake women, three cat women, and seven rabbit women.

It seems that the rabbit women have the strongest reproductive ability in the Western Desert.

However!

Su Ping frowned slightly, using Spirit Rat Vision in coordination with his Divine Sense.

He discovered that two of the rabbit women actually had black Evil Qi on them!

With a display of his supernatural ability, the two silk scarves carrying the Evil Qi were obtained by Su Ping.

Following Su Ping's questioning.

He learned that these items had been worn ever since they were in the Western Desert.

There were simple Cleansing Arrays on them.

"The Western Desert?"

"That's right, the invasion of Evil Qi has affected the entire Cultivation World!"

"The Central Region is more serious, but other places cannot avoid it either."

"It's just that I don't know when and where the Evil Qi on these items was contaminated."

"If it was in the Western Desert, that's fine, but if it was here... then that means a market passed by some merchant caravan is about to have problems again?"

Su Ping was somewhat worried about this, and then summoned this new batch of demon women into the Pot Heaven.

This way, even if there were any small tricks, they were no longer in the same world, so naturally, they could not be targeted!

Afterward, Su Ping wrote a letter to Xiao Mu Zhenren of Yunshan Market, informing him that he had inadvertently discovered that the demon women were carrying evil objects through his Divine Sense and evil-warding treasures, and hoped they could pay some attention to it.

Three days later...

Su Ping had just returned from the Pot Heaven and was feeling rather upset because all the Spirit Rice planted in the one acre of field he had opened up in the Dongtian months ago had died.

After he carefully inspected those Spirit Rice seeds, he also discovered the reason for his planting failure.

It seemed to be because he used too much fertilizer?

Of course, this was also his own carelessness; he had set the rules and let White Crane Boy do the work.

White Crane Boy is a puppet after all, and the result of strictly following the program was that the Spirit Rice seeds could not withstand it and were wiped out before harvest.

However, it does not matter; failure is the mother of success!

After summarizing the experience, one can always find a way to combine science with cultivation for farming.

At least according to previous records.

The fertilizer improved the soil fertility, and combined with the dense Spirit Qi in the Dongtian, it did indeed accelerate the growth rate of the Spirit Rice seeds.

Su Ping then found a book on Spirit Plant cultivation and read it slowly to adjust his mindset during his spare time from cultivation.

He received a reply from True Person Xiao Mu of Yunshan Market.

According to True Person Xiao Mu's account.

The matter of the demon girls possessing Evil Qi was known not only to him, but also to many Foundation Establishment cultivators who had purchased goods and returned.

It even alarmed a Golden Core Great Ability who pursued them.

And then, the truth was soon revealed.

It turned out that a chief manager of that Western Desert merchant fleet worshipped an Evil Fo, and then, using the convenience of his position, made those demon girls pray during the voyage.

However, these demon girls had incomplete Divine Souls, so they could not receive blessings even after worshipping the Evil Fo.

It was just that in that environment, a small number of demon girls became tainted with a trace of Evil Qi that was almost impossible to detect without careful examination.

It is said that the chief manager was blasted to death on the spot!

Then the leader of the merchant fleet offered an apology, and the fleet was also sailing back to Yunshan Market.

He also promised that all sold demon girls could be returned, and he was willing to pay double the compensation.

"Another Evil Fo?"

Su Ping naturally had no intention of earning this compensation.

He was more interested in the Evil Fo mentioned in the letter.

Afterwards, he returned to Pot Heaven and summoned those twelve demon girls.

After questioning them carefully again.

When asked if they had worshipped the Evil Fo.

As the Cave Heaven Master, Su Ping noticed that after two rabbit girls seemed to trigger a keyword, an invisible fluctuation radiated outward.

It was just that this was Pot Heaven, and this fluctuation could not connect to the intended object at all.

It could only end without result.

At the same time, Su Ping also heard another version of the story from the two rabbit girls.

It was not some chief manager who made them pray.

It was that leader of the merchant fleet.

"Good fellow!"

Su Ping immediately knew that something was going to happen in Yunshan Market again and again!

And according to the speed of the fleet.

By the time he received the reply, it should be about to reach Yunshan Market, right?

Therefore...

Su Ping hurriedly returned to the Cultivation World.

Just as he appeared at Jiuye Mountain Market.

Su Ping discovered that the sky in the distance was blood-red.

Vaguely, he could see streaks of Golden Light flying from all directions toward that blood-red place.

Just as Su Ping was thinking about whether to let the Memory Illusion go there as well.

He suddenly heard the squeaking warning sounds of the spirit mice.

He hurriedly closed his eyes to connect with the group of mice scattered in the Jinque City region.

Su Ping was slightly stunned, for he saw hundreds of Demon Beasts, actually also marching in formation, led by a white-haired giant ape at least thirty meters tall, also heading in the direction of Yunshan Market.

Furthermore, more than a dozen Demon Beasts had been separated out; one small squad went to Jinque City, and one small squad was rushing to Jiuye Mountain Market!

"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Mountains has also had an incident?"

"Otherwise, how did so many Demon Beasts leak out?"

Su Ping's expression became grave.

Fortunately, at this moment, an Immortal crane flew quickly to Nine Leaves Mountain and dropped a Jade Slip.

Su Ping knew this was a sound-transmission Jade Slip; he extended his Divine Sense to receive it in his hand, and after checking that there was no doubt, he began to read it.

He immediately learned that this was an emergency message from True Person Xiao Mu.

The Western Desert fleet had problems; not only had most of the crew turned into Evil Spirits, but there were also suspected Evil Cultivators from the Black Underworld Sect assisting in the control.

They were attacking Yunshan Market from both inside and outside!

True Person Xiao Mu urgently hoped that all Foundation Establishment cultivators who received the message could rush to rescue them, and there would definitely be a great reward afterwards!

Then another Immortal crane flew down, likewise threw a Jade Slip, and left.

Su Ping saw the Jade Slip and recognized the style of the Immortal Sects.

Upon looking, it was indeed a notification from the Immortal Sects.

The content was very short, but the matter was very big.

It was just one sentence: The space-sealing Dharma Array of the Ten Thousand Mountains had malfunctioned, and some Demon Beasts had been teleported to the rear!

"Such a coincidence? And the cost of this kind of teleportation shouldn't be too low, though it's not incomprehensible."

"The Demon Beasts might not necessarily be in an alliance with the Evil Spirits."

"But this definitely does not prevent the big shots among these Demon Beasts from taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire!"

"However, with the Cultivation World in this state, the Demon Beasts are actually still fighting chaotically with the human race."

"Could it be that the Demon Beasts are not afraid of the Evil Spirits?"

Su Ping knew that this was naturally impossible.

There were just as many Demon Beasts possessed by Evil Spirits.

It was just that the blood feud between the two sides for tens of thousands of years was clearly not at the point of life-and-death extinction yet.

Neither side dared to call a stop in advance!

Furthermore, whether it is the Demon Beast side or the Cultivator side.

They are both in an awkward state of having no leader.

On one side, there are so many Demon Beast tribes; on the other, so many large and small sects.

Everyone is in a state where no one's word counts for anything.

Shake hands and negotiate peace? Easier said than done!

It would be better to take advantage of the frequent great wars, continuously profit and grow stronger, and survive until the end to find a turning point!

The Demon Beasts are attacking.

Su Ping naturally has to deal with these troublemakers from home first.

Sighing, Su Ping first summoned Exorcist Mage Yunkong and had him take weapons to the vicinity of Jinque City.

Using the modern weapons in the bag should be more than enough to deal with those Qi Refining stage Demon Beasts.

As for himself, he went straight down the mountain to face the approaching Demon Beast squad head-on a hundred miles away.

This Demon Beast squad dared to come to the Jiuye Mountain Market.

The leader is naturally a Foundation Establishment great demon.

This great demon is a one-horned black ox monster.

It is ten meters long and clad in a specially made heavy Dharma Artifact armor.

Regarding this, Su Ping was not polite; he first had the Memory Illusion of Baihe Zhenren, transformed from White Crane Boy, appear on the official road to condense Fist Intent and attract the opponent's attention.

Then, his true body, hidden in the dense forest behind, unleashed his Dharma Image and cast the Rocket Launcher Technique!

Just to express his feelings!

The rockets, with lightning speed, turned the land ahead into a sea of fire!

Although it failed to heavily injure the black ox demon, as it dodged multiple rockets at the critical moment, it was only scorched by the aftermath of the explosion, and the damage was not high.

The helpers it brought, more than ten Qi Refining stage tiger, leopard, and bear demons, were all roasted alive under this volley.

Before the flames had dissipated, a fragrance began to emanate from the surroundings.

"Despicable and shameless human Cultivator, you...!"

The black ox demon let out an angry roar in desperation and immediately charged toward the Memory Illusion of Baihe Zhenren.

In its combat intuition, the Memory Illusion condensing Fist Intent was undoubtedly more dangerous!

Just as it rushed in front of this Memory Illusion, it was puzzled as to why the opponent did not dodge.

Soon, at the moment it was ten meters away from the opponent, it discovered that this person suddenly threw a punch.

And this punch actually contained the power of a Dharma Image!

While it caused its head to ache slightly, it had to pause for a moment, its feet stomping on the ground.

The Great Caliber Landmine that had already been set up was immediately detonated manually by Su Ping!

Suddenly, a loud boom!

A mushroom cloud capable of blowing a main battle tank into the sky rose into the air.

It also caused the black ox demon to fall down in front of the Memory Illusion all at once.

And it noticed that the aura of this Memory Illusion was rapidly withering after throwing the punch.

This is a... dead soldier?

While the black ox demon was confused.

It discovered that the Cultivator's Dharma Image hidden on the side had emerged once again!

This time, the opponent did not use that strange-looking weapon, which the black ox demon was confident would not work on it a second time.

Instead, it condensed into a golden iron fist and smashed down from the sky!

A bit of writer's block today, please forgive the late update.
