Chapter 316 Monster Army
"Chu Lingyue." Gu Can suddenly spoke. The man paused.
"Who is Chu Lingyue? She is Chu Lingyue, the daughter of the Minister of Rites last night." Gu Yan remembered her instantly.
"How do you know it's me?" Chu Lingyue simply took off her hat. At this moment, her face was still the same, and she didn't put on any black makeup, but her face looked hideous and distorted.
"We have only been in Fencheng for a few days. Apart from the famous Young Master, you are the only one who has a grudge against us." Gu Can's eyes were sharp and his tone was firm.
"The demonic energy in you is even heavier than that of the Shadow Leopard. You have been practicing with the demon beast's demon blood for more than a day or two. You manipulated the Shadow Leopard to kill the entire Li family, and framing us was just a way to vent your anger." Gu Can said.
Chu Lingyue curled her lips into a sneer, her eyes full of disdain and arrogance.
"You think you've seen through everything? That's ridiculous!"
"What exactly do you want?" Gu Yan asked, her heart filled with confusion and anger.
Chu Lingyue walked forward slowly, her eyes sweeping over the four people, as if admiring her own masterpiece.
"What I want is your lives. You have interfered with my plan, so I can only use your lives to continue my plan." Chu Lingyue smiled.
"What's your plan?" Xiao Yuanjing asked calmly.
A hint of pride flashed in Chu Lingyue's eyes.
"My plan is to control the entire Fencheng. You are only a small part of my plan. Your death will also become part of my plan."
"Don't even think about it!" Gu Yan shouted angrily.
Chu Lingyue sneered, and suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve and pointed it at the four people.
"Do you think you can resist me? You are too naive. Your fate has already been determined."
Chu Lingyue snorted coldly, then suddenly took off, rushing towards the four people like a ghost. Her speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up.
Gu Can held a long sword in his hand, and the sword light was like weaving. Every sword was aimed directly at Chu Lingyue's vital points. In just three moves, Gu Can's long sword was already on Chu Lingyue's neck.
"How is this possible!" Chu Lingyue couldn't believe that she lost like this.
Chu Lingyue's face showed an expression of disbelief, her eyes filled with resentment and anger. However, Gu Can's sword was so sharp that she had no chance to resist.
Xiao Yuanjing and Guan Yunbai also quickly surrounded her and held her firmly under control.
"Who told you how to cultivate into a demon while being a human?" Gu Can asked coldly.
Chu Lingyue gritted her teeth, a sinister glint in her eyes. She knew her plan had completely failed. She took a deep breath, then suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with madness and despair.
"Do you think this is the end? No, this is just the beginning!" There was an unsettling foreboding in Chu Lingyue's voice.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yan asked warily.
Chu Lingyue didn't answer, but suddenly spat out a black demon pill from her mouth. The demon pill quickly expanded in the air, transforming into a black mist that enveloped her. Chu Lingyue's voice came from the black mist, full of resentment and curses.
"You will regret this, and the people of Fencheng will pay the price for your choice!"
As the voice faded, the black mist gradually dissipated, and Chu Lingyue's figure disappeared. Only the demon pill remained, quietly suspended in the air, emitting an eerie light.
"She ran away?" Gu Yan asked in surprise.
"No, she didn't run away." Xiao Yuanjing stared at the demon pill with a frown.
"She has sealed her demonic power and soul into this demon pill. This demon pill will become her tool for revenge."
"Then what should we do?" Guan Yunbai asked.
"We must find a way to completely destroy this demon pill, otherwise Chu Lingyue's resentment will continue to grow and bring endless disasters to Fencheng." Xiao Yuanjing said in a deep voice.
"We must act immediately and find a way to destroy the demon pill." Guan Yunbai said decisively.
"I have an idea," Gu Yan said suddenly.
"We can seek help from the Spirit Talisman Master who lives in seclusion outside Fencheng. He may have a solution."
"Why bother?" Gu Can was speechless. Was Chu Lingyue trying to be funny? Had she ever really taken the trouble to understand his enemy?
Gu Can drew a talisman in the air, and a drop of blood activated the talisman, and the demon pill quickly dissipated.
He once again drew talismans in the air and chanted a spell to thoroughly purify the remaining evil spirit. The evil spirit that filled the air finally dissipated completely.
"Wow, Cancan, you are so awesome." Gu Yan said.
"It's your fault for not practicing seriously. The most urgent task now is to find the army of monsters left behind by Chu Lingyue." Gu Can said.
"What do you mean? What army of monsters?" Gu Yan felt that she understood every word, but she didn't understand anything.
"You mean, Chu Lingyue has more than just shadow leopards." Xiao Yuanjing frowned.
"That's right. Her plan is to control the entire Fencheng, and it's impossible to rely on just one Shadow Leopard. What really makes her angry is that we disrupted the Moon Goddess selection last night." Gu Can said.
"How does she know that she will be chosen in the Moon Goddess selection?" Gu Yan didn't understand. She couldn't compare to the eldest lady of Shuanghe Escort Agency in terms of appearance, nor could she compare to Miss Ning in terms of agility.
"She is the daughter of the Minister of Rites. As long as she has decent looks and talent, her election is almost certain," said Guan Yunbai.
"By the way, you are the judge. No wonder she wants to speak for you." Gu Yan curled her lips.
"I have absolutely no such intention." Guan Yunbai really couldn't explain it clearly.
"The woman who is elected as the Moon Goddess in Fencheng has a privilege, which is the military camp!" Xiao Yuanjing said.
"That's right. The woman who is elected as the Moon Goddess can enter and leave the military camp freely before the end of the Lantern Festival. The Li family has a distribution map of the underground sewers in the entire Fencheng." Gu Can has read the file.
"What on earth does she want to do?" Gu Yan was speechless.
"She wants the entire Fencheng. Let's talk about it on the way. Master, please take Shadow Leopard and ask the people from the Monster Hunting Bureau to defend the entire city. Yan'er, go back to the inn and ask your parents for help. Xiao Yuanjing, the world's number one talisman master, Yunyouzi, is living in seclusion in Zhushan, ten miles outside the city." Gu Can ordered immediately.
"I know. I'll go and invite him right away." Xiao Yuanjing nodded.
"Cancan, what about you?"
"I will take Xiaohua to find the location of the monster army." Gu Can said.
"This is too dangerous. I'll go with you." Gu Yan said.
"Your mission is the most important, you know." Gu Can looked at her.
"Okay, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Gu Yan turned around and headed straight for Zuixianlou.
Although Gu Yan was worried, now was not the time to act rashly. Gu Yan displayed extraordinary skill, shuttling through the streets of Fencheng, determined to find her parents as quickly as possible and reunite with Gu Can.
Meanwhile, Gu Can and Xiaohua were wandering through the dark alleys of Fencheng. With sharp eyes, they carefully observed every corner, searching for the whereabouts of the demonic beast army. Xiaohua's nose kept sniffing, as if she had caught some unusual scent.
"Big Fatty Orange, have you discovered anything?" Gu Can asked softly.
Xiaohua raised her head, looked at Gu Can with her bright eyes, and then quickly ran in one direction. Gu Can followed closely behind her, and they passed through an abandoned courtyard and finally came to a hidden underground entrance.
"This should be the place?" Gu Can said to himself.
Carefully opening the entrance, a chilling aura filled the air. Gu Can knew this might be where Chu Lingyue had hidden her army of demonic beasts. He took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness with Xiaohua.
At the same time, Guan Yunbai also acted quickly. He took Shadow Leopard to the Monster Hunting Bureau and asked them to defend the entire city to prevent a sudden attack from Chu Lingyue's army of monsters.
Xiao Yuanjing also quickly rushed to Zhushan outside the city.
As Gu Can went deeper underground, the darkness around her seemed to swallow her up. The air was filled with a damp and corrupt smell. Occasionally, low roars could be heard in her ears, which were the anger and unwillingness of the monsters imprisoned here.
Gu Can held the sword tightly in his hand and took every step with extreme caution.
A group of demonic beasts of various shapes slowly emerged from the darkness. Some were massive, as immovable as mountains, while others were small, agile, and elusive like ghosts. Their eyes gleamed with ferocity, clearly controlled by Chu Lingyue and devoid of self-awareness.
"It is true." When Gu Can saw those monsters, his guess was confirmed.
