Chapter 1076 Flame Wave
It only took two incense sticks of time to get back to the nameless town from the capital.
For Yun Hongce, who now has the strength of a Confucian teacher, it is extremely easy to open up a temporary space channel. That is why everyone was able to reach the center of the capital quietly before.
Afterwards, Yun Hongce began to arrange for the demons he brought back to receive the demon soldiers and demon people who were still willing to follow him.
Even though they only occupy this area at the moment, there is an undeveloped second day of the Desire Realm in the rear, so any number of people can be accommodated.
Qin Fan also spent a night in this small town which had just been renamed Tianmo Town.
It has to be said that this day was extremely busy. First, I completed the final battle in the Desire Realm, and then after coming out, I cleaned up the mess left by the Red Luo Demon Kingdom.
Now in Qin Fan’s power interface, the name of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, which was originally in the ally column, has disappeared. Instead, there is a new Tianmo Kingdom among its affiliated forces.
This is also the name of the force that Yun Hongce decided after discussing with Qin Fan in order to appease the demons and subordinates.
Qin Fan naturally plays the role of the Heavenly Demon King, Yun Hongce is still the military advisor, but his power is equivalent to that of the prime minister, second only to the emperor. In addition, there are the Four Heavenly Kings who have returned to their positions, except for Mo Shenying, Dang Qianmie and Man Yanqing who were originally packed up and taken away.
The fourth position of Heavenly King is held by Huang Tiangui.
This was also why he took the initiative to ask to stay in the Demon Realm, because the improvement effect of the world-destroying demon body he cultivated was more significant here through the stimulation of demonic energy. Of course, part of the reason why he was unwilling to go back might also be related to the death of Zhang Guchen.
As for Feng Mo, he took up a position as a worshiper in the newly established Tianmo Kingdom, in order to have an additional identity in his authority panel that could be used to take advantage of others.
At the same time, the Ghost Market also began to arrange personnel to build a space channel connecting Tianmo Town and Ghost Market. Compared with the previous cooperation between the two parties, the current Tianmo Kingdom is a subsidiary force of Wangyou Ghost Market, and the demons under its command are also very accepting of it.
From their perspective, the Lord of Ghost Market, Qin Fan, is not only the Demon King, but also one of their own. More importantly, those middle and high-level officials in the capital who decided to follow Yun Hongce, witnessed with their own eyes how Qin Fan suppressed all the elites of the seven royal families by himself.
The demons respect strength, and they also adore the strong. With Yun Hongce and the other three kings taking the lead in swearing allegiance, Qin Fan has truly made his own mark in this demon realm.
In his view, this is also the most important step for the Ghost Market to grow into a top force that can accommodate the loyalty of hundreds of races in the future.
Moreover, now all the demons in the Demonic Kingdom can truly enjoy the benefits of being a member of the Ghost Market.
First, there is an incentive contribution value system, then there is a series of special buildings in the Ghost Market that can assist in cultivation, and finally there is the innovation of the times.
For example, on the large screen that has just been installed in the Tianmo Town Square, the news broadcasts still prioritize the beast tide war, which is also the mainstream program that is currently broadcast live 24 hours a day.
However, this program, which has made many people mentally tired, made the demons excited and shouted that they wanted to go to the wasteland and desert to fight against the rat tide.
And they all stood in the square with their eyes wide open, truly demonstrating the meaning of "lack of knowledge" to the fullest.
When Qin Fan got up in the morning, he found that the square was still crowded with demons. Although Yun Hongce had issued a series of mission instructions, such as expanding the town and arranging demon soldiers to patrol, those demons who had no missions yet or had just finished their missions were still guarding here one by one.
“Is it really that beautiful?”
Qin Fan aimed at the big screen in the center of the square, which happened to show a player releasing the stink cannon again. After a loud bang, the originally noisy square suddenly became silent. Next, the lunatic Idiot controlled a new version of the self-destructive armor and pounced directly.
The explosion, which was nearly a hundred times louder than the previous one, and the intense flames that filled the screen, caused people at the scene to gasp and exclaim in surprise.
"It's a very powerful weapon, especially for us demons. We don't have any means to resist it perfectly for now."
The one who spoke was Yun Hongce.
Qin Fan looked at the other party with some surprise and said:
"Do you still have time to watch the news?"
“There is always room for interaction, and I am not as busy as you think, Your Majesty. After all, the demons I brought back this time are enough to support the framework of governing a small country, and their talents are not all used in military affairs.
In other words, among the middle and high-level officials of the Red Demon Nation, some of the officials who most respected power chose the seven royal families, while the remaining demons were basically all practical people, but their qualifications might be a little worse. "
"You might consider asking them to switch to the road you're taking."
"You mean the literary system?" Yun Hongce thought for a moment and shook his head. "This path is very difficult for the demons. Even if they are all practical people, most of them can't be patient enough to read the relevant books."
"So it depends on whether you can create a literary and moral path suitable for them." Qin Fan already had some ideas about this.
Compared with humans, the number of demons who can take this path is definitely much smaller, but when the base number expands, even the smallest number will stand out as some true geniuses.
According to the information from the Ghost Market, Gu Wenyu, one of the six elders of the Great Xuan Dynasty, also created a suitable path for civilian students. This may also be a hurdle that a Confucian teacher must go through to break through to become a great Confucian scholar.
At this time, Yun Hongce was also awakened by Qin Fan's words and fell into deep thought.
Then he put aside his thoughts for a moment and said seriously:
"But before that, some things need to be resolved first."
"You mean the Red Emperor?"
Yun Hongce nodded with a somewhat conflicted look.
Having come to this point, he was a little confused. Originally, he just wanted to use the power of the Ghost Market to support the stable development of the Red Luo Demon Kingdom, but the appearance of the seven royal families directly destroyed their lair.
In order to be responsible for the demons who trust him, he has to rely on Qin Fan's ability to transform the Heavenly Demon Clan in order to establish the eighth royal family and this new Heavenly Demon Kingdom that can stand on the same starting line as the seven royal families.
At the same time, the disintegration of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom also made him understand one thing. Although he tried his best to support Chihuang to become a qualified monarch, some demons did not have this talent, and forcing him to take the throne would really harm others and himself.
He couldn't just think about repaying the Red Emperor and continue to drag those demons who trusted him wholeheartedly into a new force that was destined to be a quagmire.
Moreover, at this moment he vaguely realized one thing, that is, does Chi Huang really want to become the emperor?
The other party is keen on fighting and eager to become stronger. If establishing a force is just to provide him with resources, he will gladly accept it. But if he is asked to bear the hopes of all members of the force, that would be a bit difficult for Fat Tiger.
So he wanted to have a talk with Chi Huang again.
Even if the other party might want to kill him because of his betrayal, all he could do was surrender and repay the other party's kindness.
If the other party wants other compensation, he will do his best to provide him with help in cultivation. After all, as the military strategist of Ghost City, the contribution points he earns personally are not small. For a literary cultivator like him, the demand for resources is not high.
Raising Chi Huang for his entire life is the most appropriate way Yun Hongce can think of to repay his gratitude.
In short, repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with hatred. This is the bottom line that Yun Hongce set for himself after he realized his own heart.
The only problem now is that he couldn't contact Chi Huang at all. Even though he kept using the voice transmission token to initiate a connection, the other party never answered once.
So at this time he went to Qin Fan to ask him to use the intelligence network of the Ghost Market to find out whether Chi Huang had quietly escaped to Jiuzhou.
After hearing his request, Qin Fan shook his head and said:
"For the Scarlet Emperor, Jiuzhou is more dangerous than the Demon Realm."
“But he didn’t answer the phone.”
"Maybe he was imprisoned."
"Ah?" Yun Hongce was stunned. He subconsciously touched the small silver horn on his forehead. His first feeling was that Qin Fan was joking, but the other party's expression was very serious.
"If he was imprisoned, it would be impossible for the seven royal families not to push him out during the previous negotiations."
Qin Fan replied calmly:
"Then he is not imprisoned by the seven royal families."
"But apart from the seven royal families, there are no other demons that can do this." Yun Hongce blinked and suddenly thought of a name.
After returning to Tianmo Town, Qin Fan used his mental power to imprint the experiences of the protagonists of the Xianjian World on a jade slip. Before the jade slip was stored in the intelligence room of the Ghost Market, Yun Hongce first checked it with his own authority.
Because after confirming the appearance of Mo Yi, he also has to be wary of other demonic bodies that may suddenly appear.
Inevitably, the name of one of the demons left a deep impression on him.
Demon Lord Chonglou.
"But why."
"I don't know the answer either." Qin Fan said seriously, "But if we exclude the seven royal families, the only one who can imprison him in the Demon Realm before the danger warning takes effect is Chonglou.
Even if other destined bodies appeared, they would not be enough to threaten the Red Emperor who should have broken through the Dharma Realm.
Of course, it could also be that the other party simply doesn’t want to pay attention to you.”
"Impossible! He must be imprisoned!" Yun Hongce inexplicably began to agree with this idea. "Then the next step is to find Chonglou's whereabouts, but..."
"Jiuquan, Yanbo." Yun Hongce had seen these two words Qin Fan said in the information about the Fairy Sword World that he had recorded before.
Legend has it that when the ancient god Shennong was born, nine springs appeared in the world.
These nine sacred springs are also called the Nine Wells of Heaven and Earth and are the source of all things.
The Nine Springs condense the most concentrated spiritual power in the world and are the hub of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth.
The Nine Springs were born with Shennong, and after thousands of years of Shennong's hard work, they gradually became the most important source of life between heaven and earth.
In front of the Nine Springs, all living things are equal, whether they are majestic and beautiful spiritual animals and birds, or ugly and ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, they all share this world under the nourishment of the Nine Springs. Because Shennong has a deep connection with the Nine Springs, the Nine Springs are collectively called the "Shennong Nine Springs".
They are Zhaodan, Hansui, Rehai, Wuqiu, Wuhun, Chunzhi, Yanbo, Duzha and Longtan respectively.
According to his destiny and history, Chonglou is temporarily in charge of Yanbo Spring.
But is there a Yanbo Spring in the Demon Realm?
"I seem to have heard of the name Yanbo Spring." Yun Hongce then saw Yan Di who was late, and an idea flashed through his mind. When the other party was introducing his carefully brewed Jiuqu Liuguang, he said that he used Yanbo Spring as the wine guide.
"So you know the location of Yanboquan?"
Yan Di nodded, then seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yun Hongce, who observed carefully, guessed:
"Is there something you can't tell me, or are you restricted by some oath?"
"There is no oath, but the guardian said that Yanbo is indispensable to the entire Demon Realm. If greedy people occupy it wantonly, unpredictable disasters will occur."
"We are just looking for someone." Qin Fan looked at Yan Di and said, "Since you have confirmed the existence of Yan Bo, this place must be the best place to heal, so the other party will definitely go there. I heard from Feng that the wrist knife used by the demon lord is not inferior to his Shen Yi knife.
Therefore, the other party may have known the location of Yanbo for a long time, and used his spring soul to create his unique magic weapon, Yanbo Blood Blade."
"Flame Wave Blood Blade??? I think this name is..." Yan Di murmured a few words in a low voice, then nodded and said, "I'll take you there."
Then he took out a map and pointed his finger at a piece of wasteland without any signs.
After Yun Hongce stared at the map for a few seconds, he said:
"I remember this location being extremely hot, which created a desert."
Yun Hongce then activated his power of literature and Taoism, confirmed the location coordinates, and directly opened a space channel.
After sensing the obvious rules of space, Feng Mo's figure flashed over.
"Lord?"
"Go to Yanbo and find Chonglou."
"Okay!" Feng Mo's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he consciously joined the entourage.
Then the two men and two demons stepped into the space channel one after another. When they reached the other end, they were really hit by a burning breath. Just as Yun Hongce said, this was a wasteland that was hated by both people and dogs.
But under the leadership of Yan Di, after everyone went around in circles again and again, the scene before them gradually changed.
"Illusion? No, it's a natural maze constructed using enormous energy." There was a hint of interest in Qin Fan's eyes, and at the same time, the increasing heat had evolved into small flames floating in the air.
"My Lord, this flame."
“It’s not as good as the seven true fires, but it also contains a trace of the power of rules.” Qin Fan’s interest grew, and he couldn’t help but start to think that perhaps there were also Nine Springs in Jiuzhou, but because of the establishment of this secret realm that could hide it from him, a Tianyan realm master, it had never been discovered.
After all, from Yan Di's guidance just now, he saw that the other party had no pattern in his walking. It seemed that he was just wandering around aimlessly, but he managed to successfully enter this maze.
"I wouldn't know the way any deeper, and this is where I got the Flame Spring." Yan Di pointed to a fire pool not far away that seemed to be filled with magma, but a closer look revealed that it was filled with rich spiritual energy.
This is a cultivation material of a higher level than Yuan Qi, and it also stores regular starlight.
"This is not the real Yanbo Spring. We should still be on the outskirts." Just as Qin Fan came to this conclusion, a wall of fire suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking everyone's way.
