The blood spreading in the sewer collapsed instantly, and the bright underground space darkened again. It was like an invisible wind sweeping across the underground facility, and the spiritual power everywhere dissipated and the old and wet appearance was revealed again.

Several executors behind him opened their eyes wide, watching Yue Kun, who had returned to his original state, slowly fell to the ground, his pupils magnified little by little. The blood red rose from under his skin, gradually spreading to his whole body and melted it... until finally, it turned into a pool of rotten flesh and blood lying there.

The group of people's eyes stayed on the flesh and blood for a few seconds, and then moved to Jiang Ling in front of them.

No one could understand the danger just now better than them: under the suppression of the opponent's spiritual sense, they could not even do the movement of resistance throughout the whole process - but it was such an opponent that melted like wax in front of this young girl.

If, before this, Kunlun University students were just kids playing with big swords in their eyes, with little strength but no experience. Then at this time, they really saw these students...or, the terrible thing about immortal cultivators.

The eyes of Jiang Ling were filled with fear. At this moment, she was gasping slightly, standing there with her eyes closed and frowning, as if she was feeling something.

Just as the moment she collided with Yue Kun's soul, the opponent destroyed herself under her pressure, and she became the party that gained the soul - although it was just some fragments of memory, it could already allow her to see something.

She saw a continuous mountain surrounded by flowing clouds, with aurora overflowing from the mountains, and the streaming clouds all scattering, revealing the picture of the fairy palace carved in it: most of the tall and short houses were made of bronze, and there was no one inside, only the heads of the guardian beasts at the eaves.

Looking closely, the beast heads were trembling slightly, as if... were breathing!

Blessed land. This word flashed through Jiang Ling's mind at the first time, but soon she turned into an exclusive noun from Yue Kun's memory: ruins.

Yue Kun said just now that this technique of summoning the demon king is the legacy of the immortals and gods... Could it be that it was obtained from this place?

It’s better to go back to report to the school and let the school take care of this.

She let out a long breath, dissipated the spiritual power of her spiritual consciousness, turned to open her eyes and stared at the strange formation magic in front of her, drew a simple demon-sealing formation on the ground, and then pasted a sealed talisman on both sides, cut her fingers with blood as a guide to induce it. The talisman and formation were connected to form a barrier, dividing a whole piece of ominous space from the surroundings.

"I have cut off the connection of this technique. In this way, the remaining spiritual power here should not be leaked." Jiang Ling said, "I'll trouble you all the rest. Just call out the trusted foreign aid and clear the remaining spiritual reaction here."

The eyes of several executors shuttled back and forth between her and the underground corpse several times, and finally said with a complicated expression: "When did you know that Yue Kun was wrong?"

"Since I came here," Jiang Ling said, "When I was in the car just now, I checked your radio communication records. The final call time was earlier than when I got the message - that is, he had already received the help signal from the square before, but did not go to reinforce, and he also concealed the situation to the department."

"This means that he must have known the situation nearby and chose to hide it..." She dragged her voice, "It's obvious that he wanted to use the influence of the demon king to avoid the eyes and eliminate our students."

"Then... since you locked him in the beginning, why don't you take action immediately and lead him here?" The few people looked at each other, "Isn't the probability of taking him off on the ground? It's okay to report it."

"Sorry." Jiang Ling smiled apologetically at them, "Because I couldn't confirm whether you are his accomplices before."

Several people were speechless.

"However, this is also a matter of attention for you in the future. Pay attention to the people around you. Maybe there is more than one such person in the department, and more fish will be caught later."

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she left all the talismans on her body to them, and then turned around and walked out. She had always been calm just now, but at this moment the pace actually showed a little hurried.

"The technique has been broken, and the person who operated the technique has died. I'll trouble you with the rest of the aftermath work. Go up and call reinforcements first. Judging from the area of ​​the sewer, this should be a big project... but now I have to leave quickly."

"What else do you want to do?" several people confused. "Now that this matter is over, your mission should have been completed."

"No." Jiang Ling shook her head, "I'm here to find someone."

"Look for someone? Who are you looking for?" Several people were surprised, "Didn't you say that the student in your school... is dead?"

"If I don't say that, I will not be able to turn the enemy's attention to me." Jiang Ling said, "If the other party knows that the Kunlun student who entered the realm of the Demon King is still alive, then before I arrive... those people will probably attack him first. I must clear the potential risks first and then find someone."

Several executives stood there in amazement: "So... the ones you said to us when you came, aren't there any of them the truth?"

Jiang Ling smiled: "I am a very good at lying."

She came out of a manhole cover, adjusted her breath slightly, silently recited the body-purifying mantra to eliminate the unpleasant sewer smell on her body, and then she rose up and flew back to the front entrance of Wanda Plaza.

It was already early morning, but from a distance, I saw alternating lights on the direction of the square - the red and blue headlights of the police car. It seems that at least a small team of police forces gathered here, and isolation belts have been pulled up around. Seeing that there are traces of spiritual power on the ground, it should be an investigation.

She looked around the air and found the team she had just notified, then pressed her body and fell to the ground, and found the team leader who had just hit her magic: "How is the situation in the mall?"

"We went in and searched. At the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, we found a group of people - according to previous reports from the fire department, they did not see these people when they searched, but when we entered, we found that they were lying there obviously, and we detected the residual demonic force near them."

"There were some casualties among these people, and the survivors were sent to the nearby 24-hour ambulance station for emergency treatment, including the person you were looking for." The other party replied in a calm tone, "He was injured and was in a semi-coma when he found it, but he should have been awake after treatment. Now he is with those survivors - as you said, I specifically hide his identity from others."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Ling nodded, stretched out her hand and shook her face, "Sorry, I had to lure the other party away just now, only then can I feel at ease... Please forgive me."

As she shook, the policeman's expression spread slightly, as if he woke up from a dream. He stood there with his forehead holding on, blinking in confusion, but Jiang Ling in front of him was gone.

"Mayor Li, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just seemed to see a real immortal cultivator..." The police officer shook his head, "Forget it, let's care about the present. Didn't you just say that reinforcements are needed in the sewer here? Send some people first..."

.........

Two kilometers away, the Red Cross sign was lit up alone in the dark night, and the small ambulance station was the only light source under the night sky.

Jiang Ling jumped out of the air, took a deep breath, and pressed her somewhat rapid heartbeat.

Since she came here, her target was always the missing member. This night she tried her best to suppress her anxiety and worries in case of revealing flaws in front of the enemy. Now that the threat was temporarily lifted, she revealed her true mood.

There was no special concern, she just...don't want to watch people disappear anymore.

It was already two or three o'clock at night, and even the fireworks in the sky were exhausted, but the ambulance station was extremely lively. At the entrance of the small building, there were red and blue ambulances, police cars, and special vehicles of the investigation bureau. The cross-reflection lights made the door as bright as daylight.

Jiang Ling walked in. The scenes in the ambulance station were as chaotic as a battlefield, and bodies covered with white cloth were constantly being pushed out. People from the Investigation Bureau were sampling, police were counting the population, medical staff and some outside practitioners were shuttled between the crowd, and vaguely it seemed that they could hear whispers.

“How much is the loss?”

"Nine people died, and four or five people also experienced demonic erosion of different degrees... Compared to the severity of this incident, this is a miracle."

"If that thing is really like what they said...not to mention this mall, hundreds of people in the surrounding area will be spared, right?"

"That's not true. But no matter what, those who die are dead are death, and they cannot be measured by numbers. This is the New Year...ah."

Listening to these words, Jiang Ling quickly ran through the corridor of the ambulance station and came to an emergency observation room inside: There were only a few survivors in good condition here to observe here, most of whom had fallen asleep due to fatigue, and it was the only quiet place in this noisy and bustling small station.

Just in a corner of the window of the room, she saw Han Jiangchen sitting by the wall. He sat quietly on the observation chair, leaned the spirit sword against the wall, and silently looked at the dark night sky outside through the window. Under the light, there was no blood on his face.

But fortunately, finally... I didn't lose anyone around me again.

Jiang Ling's heart fell back into her stomach, patted her chest and let out a long breath, and then walked forward quietly. As if she had noticed her approaching breath, Han Jiangchen suddenly turned his head and looked here, with a noticeable surprise on his face.

"Hey, I finally found you."

Jiang Ling walked to him a few steps and saw the scars everywhere on his body, and there seemed to be blood on her clothes.

"So severely injured?" She immediately became anxious, took out the small bag containing the air recovery pill from her pocket, took out one and handed it to him, "Hurry up, eat this first, I will help you stabilize your injuries first, and then hurry back to school. The equipment here can't handle the situation of the cultivator."

Han Jiangchen did not take the pill, but just looked at her silently, and after a long time, he said, "Are you here to find me?"

"Of course! How could the school not know about such a big accident?" Jiang Ling said, "I'll talk about other things later. You'll go back with me first. You're injured by the Demon King. If you drag it for a long time, you'll have to leave a problem."

After she said that, she saw Han Jiangchen turn her eyes away, as if she was afraid to face her, and she didn't take the reunion pill. Her expression made Jiang Ling a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"I just died in the mall...I didn't protect them." He looked at his hand, "I didn't do the task assigned to me by the school."

The sword immortal said that it was a shame to kill the demons, and now he has already cared about this shame.

"What did you say?" Jiang Ling was stunned by this, "You won't go back to school?"

Han Jiangchen was silent for a long time before whispering: "For the school, I'm useless."

——Because I failed their trust.

——Because I'm so useless.

"What are you thinking!" Jiang Ling suddenly raised her voice, "What's useful or not? I've said that I'm here just to find 'you'!"

Han Jiangchen was suddenly stunned. He looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't speak.

"What task is there to do at this time? You almost died, do you know?!" Jiang Ling said loudly, taking out the jade pendant from her pocket, "If that's the case, there's really nothing... I came here just for this!"

She was a little anxious. Before the other party could speak, she said in one breath: "If you die, many people will be sad...at least I will be sad! After all, you are a member of my intelligence department! What if I lose the member... Hey?! What's wrong with you?"

As soon as Jiang Ling said that, she had to close her mouth and stared at the boy in front of her in surprise. Tears were flowing down her dark eyes.

There is actually someone who is looking for him unconditionally in the middle of the night. If he disappears into this world, there are really people who will remember him.

It was a strange feeling, no joy or sadness, but tears just flowed down... He was almost forgetting what it felt like to cry.

"Ah...you..." Jiang Ling suddenly panicked when she saw him like this, "This is the first time I made someone cry? Did I say something wrong? My fault is all my fault. Are you okay?"

Han Jiangchen quickly raised his hand to wipe his face: "...I'm sorry."

"What did you say sorry! You..."

Jiang Ling could always remain calm just now, but at this moment she was completely at a loss and stood there without knowing what to do. She could only calm down again, look at the boy in front of her, and try hard to figure out his expression. Then she slowly reached out and patted his back carefully, as if comforting a baby in a swaddling baby.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've seen it all. You've done a good job. This time, it was purely an accident, no one will blame you. The demon king's reaction has disappeared. There will be no more trouble in Jincheng. Maybe hundreds or thousands of people will be saved because of this... In short, you are so awesome, do you know? If Teacher Shangguan goes back and says something about you, I will help you complain to Teacher Wei! The school must be on your side. Don't worry, I'm not here..."

She seemed to be frightened, and she spoke indecisively, like coaxing a child. This made Han Jiangchen feel a little funny for a moment... He knew that it was not the time to laugh, but he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"Hey! I saw it! You smiled!"

Jiang Ling's expression stretched out and she was also silly happy. Seeing Han Jiangchen laughing, she felt so happy.

"That's all right." She stuffed the pill and the jade pendant into Han Jiangchen's hand, "Come on, be good, take the breath back pill. Leave the other things to me, just concentrate on healing your wounds. When you get better, we will go back to school and let's go back together!"

This time Han Jiangchen did as he did. Jiang Ling sat next to him and gave him spiritual power, waiting for him to regulate his breathing and absorb the medicinal power.

When the clock on the wall turned the sixth round, he had finished transporting the last Zhoutian and could barely stand up and walk. Then Jiang Ling went to say hello to the person in charge, contacted the car to pick them up, and then pulled him out the door.

There were very few people in this area in the early morning, and there was no one on the huge city road, as if there were only two people left in the world. Along the way, Han Jiangchen just lowered his head, embarrassed to talk to Jiang Ling again. Fortunately, Jiang Ling didn't care, she just led the big boy in front and pulled him into the car.

At this time, the first ray of light appeared in the distant horizon, and the edges of the earth were clearly hooked out, and dazzling spots of light were shattered from that line. Although the earth was still shrouded in the shadow, the head was already shrouded in the misty light, which was spreading from one point to the entire horizon, and finally enveloped the entire world.

This night has passed.
Chapter completed!
