Chapter 312 Senior Brother Gushan
As an eighth-level ultimate, Xu Jingming has a long lifespan and naturally has enough patience.
On the road of evolution, every step must be steady. If impatience goes astray, spiritual strength may stagnate or even decline.
"Go to the world of demons." Xu Jingming immediately turned into light and flew into the scene of the world of demons.
……
The world of demons.
The master and servant Xu Jingming and Wu Qi have arrived in front of a huge and towering city.
"As expected of a state city." Xu Jingming looked at the majestic city in front of him. The city wall was dozens of feet high and stretched endlessly on both sides. There were also a large number of guards on the city wall.
“This is the center of the entire Chiyun Prefecture.” Wu Qi’s hair has turned gray. He looked at the city in front of him in wonder, “I heard that the length and width of the prefecture city are over three hundred miles, and the population is tens of millions. Over the years, we have traveled to various prefectures in Chiyun Prefecture, and now we have finally arrived at the prefecture city."
Xu Jingming nodded.
He has been in Chiyun Prefecture for so many years. There are hundreds of prefectures in Chiyun Prefecture, and each prefecture is quite vast. Xu Jingming travels through ten prefectures and a large number of counties in an average year. He travels quickly enough.
"I was born in Chiyun Prefecture, so naturally I have to come to the prefecture city to take a look, go, and enter the city." Xu Jingming led Wu Qi into the city along the broad city gate.
On the city wall, there are many guards overlooking it.
"Huh?"
One of the black-armored guards glanced at Xu Jingming, took out a thick book from his arms, flipped through it quickly, and reached one of the pages——
Wu Ming: A high-level demon-slayer (suspected to be in the eighth level). He was born in the Chen family in Bai County, Cheng'an Prefecture. His real name was "Chen Qi" and he was later renamed Wu Ming. This person travels around every prefecture and county in Chiyun Prefecture. He has a chivalrous heart and will take action against weak demons. He has killed more than a hundred earth demons so far, which is hard to count for ordinary demons.
He once stood up for ordinary people and fought against the high-level demon-slayer ‘Zhang Ke’! Zhang Ke was defeated and fled in embarrassment.
Later, a heavenly demon, Zhang Ke and three other high-level demon conquerors besieged Wu Ming. In this battle, the two sides could not decide the winner.
Wu Ming traveled around the country, carrying a gun bag, and was followed by an old servant with a hunchback named Wu Qi. Wu Qi was good at swordsmanship.
“Wu Ming, the demon-slayer?” The black-armored guard looked at the portrait attached to the paper. The portrait was lifelike, exactly like Xu Jingming walking with a gun pouch on his back.
"Another high-level demon-slayer is here. You must report it immediately." The black-armored guard told his companions and immediately quietly descended from the city wall.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi came to a restaurant, sat down by the window, ordered several signature dishes of the restaurant, and chatted while eating got up.
“As expected of Zhoucheng, the craftsmanship is really good.” Wu Qi ate happily and praised.
"How can you open such a restaurant in Zhoucheng without any skills." Xu Jingming held the wine glass and looked at Wu Qi in front of him. Uncle Qi had been taking good care of him over the years. Xu Jingming was not a stone. Heart-hearted, after getting along for a long time, I feel that Uncle Qi is like a relative and friend of mine.
"Uncle Qi is getting older. They signed a contract in reality, blinded their memories and came to the world of demons, and became the original residents of the world. But the contracts all have a specified time limit. Once the time limit is up, it is the end of their lifespan, and they will all die. In reality Wake up." Xu Jingming said secretly.
No matter who it is, even if it is a demon, it is said that its obsession will never go away and it will never die.
But when the time comes, everyone will die.
After all, they are almost all planetary beings in reality, and their lifespans are limited, so they cannot stay in the world of demons forever.
"Uncle Seven, I don't know how long it will be before the deadline." Xu Jingming thought.
Suddenly——
A man walked in at the door of the restaurant. He was fair-skinned and it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. He was dressed in white and walked to Xu Jingming's table with a smile.
"Brother Wu Ming, can I sit down?" the man in white said.
"It turns out to be Brother Mijia, please." Xu Jingming nodded and walked around the prefectures and counties of Chiyun Prefecture. He still had information about high-level demon-slayers in the prefecture, so he naturally recognized him.
The man in white glanced at Wu Qi, then smiled at Xu Jingming and said: "I have heard of Brother Wu Ming's name for a long time, but Brother Wu Ming travels all over the country, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and we have never had a chance to meet him. Until today, Brother Wu Ming finally came to Zhoucheng.”
"Go wherever you want, we are at home all over the world." Xu Jingming said, "Brother Mijia, are you looking for me for something?"
"The sect I belong to, the Holy Light Sect, is in Chiyun. The state is quite influential, and there are nine high-level demon-slayers in the sect. ! Today I am here to invite you, Brother Wu Ming, to join us." Mi Jia, the man in white, said, "After joining, we can work together to deal with the demon, and the hope of capturing the demon will be greater."
"The demon is difficult to come by. Catch." Xu Jingming nodded.
Difficult.
In the more than ten years since he came to the world of demon-slaying, he has only encountered a demon once.
That demon was disguised as a concubine of a wealthy businessman, living a seemingly ordinary life. Even Xu Jingming couldn't tell under her restrained aura. Xu Jingming was willing to help ordinary people. When investigating a case, he traced the source - the concubine.
In a confrontation between the two sides, although Xu Jingming had the upper hand, he failed to win the concubine.
At this time, Zhang Ke, a high-level demon-slayer who came to express his bad intentions, took two companions and secretly attacked, hoping to seize the opportunity to take away the demon. Xu Jingming fought back angrily, but Tianmo took advantage of the grudge between the two waves of demon-slayers and seized the opportunity to escape.
"The demons each have their own powerful methods. It is difficult to find them, and even harder to kill them." Mijia smiled and said, "But if we work together, we can catch them more."
"I mean well. "Xin Ling, I haven't joined any force for so many years," Xu Jingming said, "I don't have this idea now."
Mi Jia said softly: "To reveal the news, in the past six months, eight high-level demon-slayers have been killed in the city."
"Oh?" Xu Jingming's face changed slightly.
Even if there is a conflict between demon-slayers, they rarely kill each other directly. Because they know very well that even if they kill him, they will have to create a new account!
100 million cosmic coins, maybe the seventh-level starry sky life is very distressed. But for a high-level demon-slayer at the eighth level...it's really not worth mentioning.
“Is it the devil?” Xu Jingming asked.
Mi Jia nodded and said: "We have also traced some information about the dead high-level demon-slayers. They did die in the hands of the demon."
Xu Jingming nodded, as long as you have the contact information of the Virtual World Network, you can naturally Ask about the cause of death.
"The demons who took action are not the same one." Mijia said, "In other words, there is a force composed of demons who are killing high-level demon-slayers. At this time, Brother Wu Ming It’s better to join the force.”
"Thank you, Brother Mijia, for the message. I will think about it carefully." Xu Jingming said, although he is not afraid of death, if he dies once, he will also lose the magical weapon he has worked so hard to refine, and he will have to create an account again. , it is also very troublesome to practice again.
Mi Jia picked up the wine glass, toasted Xu Jingming, and then left.
Except for Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi, no one else in the restaurant noticed when he came in and left.
"Young Master." Wu Qi was a little worried, "According to what this person said, there is a group of heavenly demons targeting high-level demon-slayers."
"It has always been the demon-slayers. They are chasing the demons. Now the demons have counterattacked. "Xu Jingming is quite looking forward to it. After all, he has not killed a demon in more than ten years.
"Master, you have to be more careful." Wu Qi was very worried, "After all, he is a demon."
******
In a quiet house.
A few people were entertaining an old man with gray hair.
"Ancient Sect Master, the strength of this demon is extraordinary. Lord Tomiya is also a ninth-level demon-slayer in the world of demon-busting. He fought head-on with the demon and was killed in less than ten moves." One person. The young man said, "The strength of this demon is very terrifying. It is higher than the normal ninth level demon-slayers. We were still We are talking about how we can deal with it with full confidence when De Yuan’s life comes.”
“The ancient sect master comes with full confidence.”
“Tomiya is still in front of the devil. He can block seven or eight moves, but in front of the ancient sect leader, he may not be able to withstand even three moves.”
These people are all touting.
They are all Ninth Realm demon-slayers, and they are also some of the most terrifying old guys in the entire Chiyun State. However, facing this ancient sect master, they all consider themselves far inferior to each other.
Because the gray-haired old man in front of me is so famous and his historical achievements are so terrifying, his self-created "Secret Technique of the Great Netherworld" is famous in the world of demon-slaying. With this secret method, he has no rivals in the world.
"I heard about how powerful this demon is, so I came here from Yi Kingdom." The ancient sect leader said, "As long as we are within the city, I will definitely be able to detect it once the demon takes action."
"We have been looking for the demon, but when such a powerful demon is presented to us, we can't fight it." These people were a little sad.
After all, they are all demon-slayers in the Ninth Realm. Lord Tomiya can't block ten moves, and they can't afford to offend him either.
"There are indeed some extremely powerful demons among the demons, whose strength is higher than that of the demon-slayers in the ninth realm." The ancient sect leader was very calm. In the world of demon-slayers, he was invincible.
"By the way." The ancient sect leader suddenly said, "I don't know, do you know a man named Wu Ming?"
"Wu Ming? Yes, of course we do. We know each other in Chi." In Yunzhou, Wu Ming is quite famous. "A woman smiled and said, "He was quite sympathetic to ordinary people, and he stood up for a group of ordinary people and fought with another high-level demon-slayer."
"I received news that Wu Ming is here. I just came to Zhoucheng three hours ago," the young man said.
"Oh?" Gu Sect Leader's eyes lit up.
......
Xu Jingming and Wu Qi checked into an inn and rented one of the private courtyards. As night fell, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi had rested in their respective rooms.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” Wu Qi put on her clothes and went to open the door in confusion.
Xu Jingming also sensed a huge and vast fluctuation of mana, and immediately walked to the yard and saw a strong old man with gray hair standing outside the door.
Looking at her eyes, she is very elegant and familiar.
"You are..." Xu Jingming was not sure.
“Gushan.” The old man smiled.
“Senior Brother Gushan?” Xu Jingming was extremely surprised.
"Junior brother Wu Ming." Gushan smiled.
Wu Qi on the side was a little confused.
Xu Jingming simply explained: "Seventh Uncle, I am fortunate enough to be taught the secret method of subduing demons. In my sect, Senior Brother Gushan is the senior brother. I started at the latest and can be considered the youngest junior brother."
"Oh." Wu Qi understood and said happily, "Then I will ask someone to prepare some food and wine."
"I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Qi." Xu Jingming said.
Wu Qi immediately ran out enthusiastically to find the waiter at the inn.
Inside the house.
Xu Jingming and Gu Shan sat down at the wooden table, and Xu Jingming helped pour the tea.
“I really didn’t expect to meet senior brother here.” Xu Jingming said happily, “I remember, senior brother, you are not in Qingguo.”
“The sect I established is in "Yiguo." Gushan explained with a smile, "But my spiritual power index has reached 10,000, and I am preparing to break through the source of life."
"Finally reached 10,000? Congratulations, senior brother." Xu Jingming was also happy for his senior brother.
After all, senior fellow apprentices are over a thousand years old.
"I have tried to break through in the Virtual World Network, and I succeeded eight times out of ten." Senior Brother Gushan shook his head, "Obviously, I need to be more prepared in all aspects. A friend happened to inform me that Chiyun Prefecture of Qingguo has appeared. A terrifying demon takes the initiative to attack and kill the demon. The more powerful the demon is, the more difficult it is to find it. Demon-slayer, I just need to wait patiently... until he takes action."
"A demon with the ability to overpower the ninth-level demon-slayer should be of some help to me," Gushan said. If my spiritual power increases a little bit, I should be fully confident."
Xu Jingming can understand.
At the time of breakthrough, the body completely transforms into source power. Once it fails, the body completely collapses and returns to source power, which is a complete death.
So you must be completely sure.
"Senior brother, if you need my help if you need anything, just ask." Xu Jingming said.
"I know you are coming to Chiyun Prefecture of Qingguo, and I happen to be here, so naturally I have to meet you. As for helping?" Senior Brother Gushan thought for a moment and said, "You should be more diligent in the prefecture city. Take the initiative to deal with the demon! The bigger the noise, the better. I can know it as soon as possible. This is the biggest help. "Xu Jingming nodded, this is a small thing. , not worth mentioning.
"This is the source of life." Senior Brother Gushan sighed, "It's really not easy."
"No matter what, senior brother will soon have a breakthrough. Junior brothers and sisters like us are still in the accumulation period." Xu Jing Ming said that for someone with a psychic power index of over 5,000, he was still far from a breakthrough.
Senior Brother Gushan looked at Xu Jingming: "I can feel that your magic power has broken through to the seventh level. In reality, you should have reached the eighth level limit?"
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.
"It's only been eleven years since you joined the Yuanchu Research Institute, right? Eleven years ago, you were still in the seventh level." Senior Brother Gushan admired, "This rate of progress is amazing..."
"The eighth-level limit is not worth mentioning." Xu Jingming said humbly. The geniuses at the Yuanchu Academy all reached the eighth-level limit in a short time.
Senior brother Gushan looked outside and whispered: "There is something I have to remind you, junior brother."
"Remind me?" Xu Jingming was confused.
The two senior brothers were talking in low voices.
The inn’s waiter and Wu Qi also came in with wine and food.
"Master, and this senior brother, let's try the craftsmanship of this inn." Wu Qi also helped the waiter and put the food and drinks on the table.
"Uncle Qi, you go and rest first. I want to talk with my senior brother at night." Xu Jingming said.
"Okay." Wu Qi took the waiter away and closed the door together.
Xu Jingming looked at Senior Brother Gushan solemnly: "Brother, are you sure what you said is true?"
"Absolutely sure." Gushan nodded. (End of chapter)
