Start From Cultivation University

The blood color spreading in the sewer instantly collapsed, and the bright underground space dimmed again. It was like an invisible wind swept across this underground facility, and the pervasive spiritual power immediately dissipated, revealing the old damp appearance again.

　　 The executives behind him opened their eyes wide, watching Yue Kun, who was restored to his original shape, slowly fell to the ground, his pupils enlarged a little. The blood red glowed from under his skin and gradually spread to his whole body to melt it... until finally, it turned into a pool of rotten flesh and blood lying there.

　　 The gaze of the group stayed on the flesh and blood for a few seconds, and then moved to Jiang Ling in front of him.

No one understands the dangers of the talent better than them: under the suppression of the opponent's consciousness, they can't even resist the movement of the whole process-but it is such an opponent that melts like wax in front of this young girl .

　　 If you say, before this, Kunlun University students were just kids with big swords in their eyes, they had power but no experience. Then, at this time, they really saw these students...or rather, the horror of the immortal cultivator.

　　 looked at Jiang Ling with fear. At this moment she was panting slightly, standing there with her eyes closed and frowning, as if she was feeling something.

　　 The moment when she collided with Yue Kun's soul, the opponent destroyed herself under her coercion, and she became the one who gained the soul—although it was only a fragment of memory, it already allowed her to see something.

She saw the rolling mountains surrounded by flowing clouds, and there was aurora overflowing in the mountains, and the flowing clouds scattered all over, revealing the pictures of the fairy palace inside: the tall and low houses were mostly made of bronze. There was no one inside, only the head of the beast with the guardian on the corners of the eaves.

　　Looking carefully, those beast heads were trembling slightly, like...breathing!

　　Blessed Land. The word flashed through Jiang Ling's mind for the first time, but she quickly turned from Yue Kun's memory to an exclusive noun: relic.

　　 Just now Yuekun said that this technique for summoning the Demon King is the legacy of the fairy gods... Could it be said that it was obtained from this place?

　　 This kind of thing, it is better to report back to the school, let the school take care of it.

She let out a sigh of relief, and then she opened her eyes to stare at the weird formation spell in front of her. She drew a simple enchantment formation on the ground, then pasted a seal spell on both sides, and opened it. The fingers are inspired by blood, and the spells and formations are connected to form an enchantment, separating a whole ominous space from the surroundings.

"I have cut off the connection to this technique. In this way, the remaining spiritual power here should not be leaked." Jiang Ling said, "I will trouble you with the rest. Call a trusted foreign aid. The remaining spiritual reaction here can be removed."

　　 The eyes of several executives shuttled back and forth between her and the underground corpse, and finally they looked complicated and said: "When did you know that Yue Kun was wrong?"

"Since coming here." Jiang Ling said, "When I was in the car just now, I checked your radio communication records, and the last call time was earlier than the time I got the news—that is, he had already got the information before. The plaza’s signal for assistance did not go for reinforcements and also concealed the situation from the department."

"This means that he must understand the situation there, and he chose to conceal it..." She stretched her voice, "That's obvious, he wants to use the influence of the Demon King to avoid people's eyes and ears." Get rid of our students."

"Then you...Since you locked him at the beginning, why don't you do it right away and bring him here?" Several people looked at each other, "on the ground, isn't the probability of taking him higher? ."

　　 "I'm sorry." Jiang Ling smiled apologetically at them, "Because I couldn't be sure before whether you were his accomplices."

　　 A few people are speechless.

　　 "However, this is also something you need to pay attention to in the future. Pay more attention to the people around you. Maybe there is more than one such person in the department, and more fish will be caught in the future."

　　 Jiang Ling finished speaking, leaving all the charms on her body to them, then turned and walked out. She had always maintained her composure just now, but at this time the pace actually revealed a little rush.

"The technique is broken, and the person who manipulates the technique is dead. The rest of the aftermath work is troublesome for you. Go up and ask for reinforcements. Judging by the area of ​​the waterway, this should be a big project...but Now I have to hurry away."

　　 "What else do you want to do?" Several people were puzzled, "Now that this matter is over, your task should have been completed."

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

　　 "Looking 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 didn't say that, I wouldn't be able to divert the enemy's attention to me." Jiang Ling said, "If you let the other party know that the Kunlun student who stepped into the Demon King's realm is still alive, it's up to me. Until then... those people will probably attack him first. I must first eliminate the potential risks before I find someone."

　　 A few executives stood there dumbfounded: "So... what you told us when you came, not a word is true, is it?"

　　 Jiang Ling smiled: "I'm a good liar."

　　 She got out of a manhole cover, adjusted her breath slightly, and muttered the body purification mantra to remove the unpleasant smell of sewer from her body. Then she rose to her feet and flew towards the main entrance of Wanda Plaza again.

　　 It was early in the morning, but from a distance, I could see the alternating lights in the direction of the square—the red and blue lights of the police car. It seems that at least a small group of police has gathered here, and the isolation belt has been pulled up around it. Seeing that there are traces of spiritual power on the ground, it should be an investigation.

　　 She looked around in the air and found the squad she had just notified of. Then she fell to the ground and found the squad leader who had just been hit by her spell: "How is the situation in the mall?"

"We went in and searched. At the top of the stairs on the second floor, we found a group of people—according to previous reports from the Fire Department, they didn’t see these people when they searched, but when we went in we did find that they were clearly lying. Then, we detected the residual demon power near them."

"There are some casualties among these people. 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 found He was in a semi-comatose state at the time, but he should have been awake after the treatment, and he is now with the survivors—according to you, I deliberately hid his identity from others."

　　 "Okay, thank you." Jiang Ling nodded, stretched out her hand and shook his face, "Sorry, I had to lead the other person just now, only then can I rest assured... Please forgive me."

　　 Following her sway, I saw the policeman's expression slightly stretched out, as if waking up from a dream. He stood there with his forehead supported, blinking in confusion, but Jiang Ling in front of him was gone.

　　 "Team Lee, what's wrong?"

　　 "It's nothing, I just saw a real immortal cultivator..." The police officer shook his head, "Forget it, care about the moment. Didn't I just say that there is a need for reinforcements in the sewers? First send some people down..."

　　...

　　 Two kilometers away, the red cross sign was lit lonely in the dark, and the small ambulance station was the only light source under the night sky.

　　 Jiang Ling leaped down from the air, took a deep breath, and pressed a somewhat rapid heartbeat.

　　 Since coming here, her target has always been the missing member. This evening, she tried her best to suppress her anxiety and worries, so as not to expose flaws in front of the enemy. Now that the threat was temporarily lifted, she revealed her true feelings.

　　 didn't have any special concerns, she just... didn't want to watch people disappear.

　　 It was already two or three o'clock in the night, and even the fireworks in the sky were exhausted, but the ambulance station was extremely lively. Red and blue flashing ambulances, police cars, and special vehicles of the Bureau of Investigation were parked at the entrance of the small building.

Jiang Ling walked in. The scene in the ambulance station was chaotic like a battlefield. The remains covered in white sheets were constantly pushed out, people from the Bureau of Investigation were sampling, the police were counting the population, and medical staff and some external repairmen shuttled through the crowd. In between, murmurs seemed to be faintly heard.

　　 "How much loss?"

　　 "Nine people have died, and four or five people have been corroded by various degrees of demon...Compared to the severity of this incident, this is already a miracle."

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

　　 "That's not it. But in any case, what is dead is dead, and it can't be measured by mere numbers. It's a big Chinese New Year...oh."

Listening to these words, Jiang Ling ran across the corridor of the ambulance station and came to an emergency observation room inside: There are only a few survivors in better condition to observe here, most of them have fallen asleep because of exhaustion. It is the only quiet place in this noisy little station.

　　 At the corner of the room by the window, she saw Han Jiangchen sitting by the wall. He sat quietly on the observation chair, leaning the spirit sword against the wall, and silently looked at the dark night sky outside through the window. There was no blood on that face under the light.

　　 But it's okay, finally... I haven't lost anyone around me.

　　 Jiang Ling dropped her heart back into her stomach, patted her chest and let out a long breath, then quietly walked forward. As if perceiving the aura of her approach, Han Jiangchen suddenly turned his head and looked here, with obvious surprise on his face.

　　 "Hey, I finally found you."

　　 Jiang Ling walked up to him in a few steps, and saw the scars all over his body at a glance, and there seemed to be blood on the placket.

"The injury is so bad?" She immediately got up anxiously, took out the small bag with the Qi Qi Dan from her pocket, and took out one and handed it to him, "Quickly, eat this first, I'll help you stabilize it first. Injury, and then hurried back to school. The equipment here can't handle the situation of the immortal cultivator."

　　 Han Jiangchen didn't take the pill, just looked at her silently, and then said for a long time: "Are you here for 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 will go back with me first. You are hurt by the Demon King. If you drag on for a long time, you will stay. questionable."

　　 After she finished speaking, she saw Han Jiangchen look away, as if she didn't dare to face her, let alone picking up the Qi Dan. The expression made Jiang Ling a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

　　 "In the mall just now, someone died...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 the shame of slashing a demon to make a mortal die in front of him, and now he has this shame on his back.

　　 "What are you talking about?" Jiang Ling was startled by the words, "You won't go back to school?"

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

　　—Because I failed their trust.

　　—Because I'm so rubbish.

　　 "What do you think!" Jiang Ling suddenly raised her voice, "What's useful or useless? I've said everything, I'm here just to find ‘you’!"

　　 Han Jiangchen was stunned suddenly. He looked at the girl in front of him, speechless.

"What task are you up to 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, then there is really nothing left... I came here for this!"

She was a little anxious, before waiting for the other person to 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 can I do if the member is lost...Eh?! You, what's the matter with you?"

　　 Jiang Ling had to shut her mouth halfway through her words, and stared at the boy in front of her in surprise. Tears were streaming down those dark and dull eyes.

　　 There will be people looking for him unconditionally in the middle of the night. If he disappears in this world, someone will really remember him.

　　 It is a strange feeling, there is no joy or sadness, but the tears just flowed down... Obviously he almost forgot what it was like to cry.

"Ah...you..." Seeing him like this, Jiang Ling suddenly panicked, "I... this is the first time I made people cry? Did I say something wrong? My fault, it's all my fault, you Are you okay?"

　　 Han Jiangchen quickly raised his hand and wiped his face: "...I'm sorry."

　　 "I'm sorry for what you said! You..."

　　 Jiang Ling was able to keep calm just now, but at this time she was completely at a loss, and she didn't know what to do if she stood there. She could only calm down again, looking at the boy in front of her, trying to figure out his expression. Then she slowly stretched out her hand and patted his back cautiously, as if to comfort a baby in swaddling clothes.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have seen it, you have done a good job. This time it is purely an accident, no one will blame you. The Demon King's reaction has disappeared, and there will be nothing more in Jincheng behind. , Maybe hundreds of thousands of people will be saved because of this... Anyway, you are amazing, do you know? If Teacher Shangguan goes back and tells you something, I, I will help you complain to Teacher Wei! The school must be standing there. On your side, don’t worry, I’m here..."

She seemed to be frightened. She talked like she was coaxing a child. Han Jiangchen felt a little funny for a while... He knew it was not the time to laugh, but he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. .

　　 "Hey! I saw it! You laughed!"

　　 Jiang Ling's expression stretched, and she happily opened up silly. Seeing Han Jiangchen smiling, she also felt so happy.

"That's all right." She stuffed the pill and Yupei into Han Jiangchen's hand, "Come on, be good, take the Qi Qi Pill. Leave the rest to me, and you can concentrate on healing the wounds. Wait for you. Let's go back to school if we get better, let's go back together!"

　　 Han Jiangchen did it this time. Jiang Ling sat next to him and gave him spiritual energy, waiting for him to adjust his breath to absorb the medicine.

When the clock on the wall turned the sixth lap, he had finished the last week of the week and was barely able to stand up and walk. Jiang Ling went to say hello to the person in charge, contacted the car that picked them up, and then pulled He walked outside the door.

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

　　 At this time, the distant horizon revealed the first ray of light, the edge of the earth was clearly drawn out, and the dazzling light spot was smeared from that line. Although the earth is still shrouded in shadows, it has already revealed a hazy light, it is spreading from a point to the entire horizon, and finally enveloped the entire world.

　　 The night has passed.

Its daybreak.
