Start From Cultivation University

The blood color spreading in the sewer instantly collapsed, and the bright underground space darkened again. Like an invisible wind sweeping across this underground facility, the pervasive spiritual power dissipated immediately, revealing the old and damp appearance again.

The executive officers behind them opened their eyes wide, watching Yue Kun who had recovered to his original state in front of him slowly fall to the ground, his pupils dilated little by little. Blood red rose from under his skin, and gradually spread to the whole body to dissolve it... until finally, it turned into a pool of rotting flesh and blood lying there.

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

No one can understand the danger of just now better than them: under the suppression of the opponent's spiritual sense, they can't even make a movement of resistance-but such an opponent melted like wax in front of this young girl up.

If we say that before this, the students of Kunlun University were just children wielding big knives in their eyes, with only strength but no experience. Then at this time, they really saw these students...or in other words, it was the terrifying aspect of immortal cultivators.

Looking 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 the soul collided with Yue Kun just now, the opponent self-destructed under her coercion, but she became the one who got the soul instead - although it was just some fragments of memory, it already allowed her to see something.

She saw the mountains surrounded by flowing clouds, and the aurora overflowed from the mountains, and the clouds scattered all over, revealing the picture of the fairy mansion on the railings inside: the tall and short houses are mostly made of bronze, There is no one inside, only the head of a beast with a guardian on the corner of the eaves.

Looking carefully, those animal heads were trembling slightly, as if... breathing!

blessed land. The word flashed across Jiang Ling's mind for the first time, but soon she found an exclusive term from Yue Kun's memory: ruins.

Just now, Yue Kun said that the magic formula for summoning the demon king is the inheritance of the immortal gods... Could it be said that it came from this place?

It's better to report this kind of thing back to the school and let the school take care of it.

She let out a long breath, dissipated the spiritual power of her consciousness, turned to stare at the weird formation in front of her, drew a simple magic sealing formation on the ground, and stuck sealing spells on both sides, and opened it The fingers are triggered by blood, and the spells and formations are connected to form an enchantment, separating an ominous space from the surroundings.

"I have cut off the connection of this technique. In this way, the remaining spiritual power here should not leak out." Jiang Ling said, "I will trouble you for the rest. Call a trusted foreign aid and send Just get rid of the residual spiritual reaction here."

The eyes of several executives shuttled back and forth between her and the underground corpse, and finally said with complicated expressions: "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, and the time of the last call was earlier than the time I got the news—that is, he had already received the information. He received the signal for help from the square, but did not go to the reinforcements, and even concealed the situation from the department.”

"This means that he must know about the situation in the vicinity, and he chose to hide it..." She dragged her voice, "It'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 in the first place, why didn't you do it right away, and brought him here?" Several people looked at each other, "Isn't the probability of taking him down on the ground higher? You can also report it. .”

"Sorry." Jiang Ling smiled apologetically at them, "Because I wasn't sure before whether you were his accomplices.

"

Several people are at a loss for words.

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

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she left all the charms on her body to them, then turned around and walked out. She had maintained her composure just now, but at this moment, her steps revealed a bit of haste.

"The spell has been broken, and the person who operated the spell is dead. I will trouble you for the rest of the aftermath. Go up and call for reinforcements. Judging by the area of ​​the waterway, this should be a big project...but I have to go now."

"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 at your school...is dead?"

"If I don't say that, I won't be able to divert the enemy's attention to me." Jiang Ling said, "If I let the other party know that the Kunlun student who stepped into the demon king's domain is still alive, then it will be impossible for me to catch the enemy's attention." Before that... Those people will probably kill him first. I must clear up the potential risks first, and then go find someone."

Several executives stood there dumbfounded: "So... none of what you told us when you came here is true?"

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

She got out from a manhole cover, adjusted her breath a little, and silently recited a cleansing mantra to eliminate the unpleasant sewer smell from her body, then she jumped up and flew towards the main entrance of Wanda Plaza again.

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

She looked around in the air, and found the team she had just informed, then pressed down and fell to the ground, and found the team leader who had just been hit by her spell: "How is the situation in the mall?"

"We went in and searched. At the stairs on the second floor, we found a group of people—according to the previous report from the fire department, they didn't see these people when they searched, but when we went in, we did find that they were obviously lying on the ground. There, we detected demon power remnants near them."

"There were some casualties among these people, and the survivors were all sent to the nearby 24-hour ambulance station for emergency treatment, including the person you are looking for." The other party replied in a calm tone, "He was injured, found He was in a semi-comatose state when he was in a coma, but he should have regained consciousness after treatment, and now he is with the survivors—as you said, I purposely hid his identity from others."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Ling nodded, and waved her hand in front of his face, "I'm sorry, I had to distract the other party just now, only in this way can I feel at ease... Please forgive me."

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

"Captain Li, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I seem to have seen a real cultivator just now..." The police officer shook his head, "Forget it, let's focus on the moment. Didn't you just say that reinforcements are needed in the sewer here? Send some people down first..."

......

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

Jiang Ling jumped down from the air, took a deep breath, and suppressed her rapid heartbeat.

Since coming here, her goal has always been only the missing member. She spent the night trying to suppress her anxiety and worry, so as not to show her weakness to the enemy. Now that the threat was temporarily lifted, she revealed her true mood.

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

It was already two or three o'clock at night, and even the fireworks in the sky were tired, but the ambulance station was extremely lively. Red and blue flashing ambulances, police cars, and special vehicles of the Investigation Bureau were parked at the entrance of the small building, and the cross-reflected lights made the front of the door as bright as day.

When Jiang Ling walked in, the scene in the ambulance station was chaotic like a battlefield, bodies covered with white sheets were being pushed out continuously, people from the investigation bureau were taking samples, the police were counting the population, medical staff and some outside cultivators shuttled through the crowd In between, it seemed that whispers could be heard vaguely.

"How much loss?"

"Nine people died, and four or five people suffered from different degrees of erosion...Compared to the severity of this incident, this is already a miracle."

"If that thing is really what they say... let alone this shopping mall, hundreds of people in the surrounding area will not be spared, right?"

"Isn't that right. But no matter what, what is dead is dead, and it can't be measured by simple numbers. This is a big Chinese New Year... oh."

Listening to these words, Jiang Ling ran quickly through the corridor of the ambulance station and came to an emergency observation room inside: there were only a few survivors in relatively good condition to observe here, and most of them had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion. It is the only quiet place in this noisy station.

In the corner of the room by the window, she saw Han Jiangchen sitting against 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, at last... I didn't lose another person around me.

Jiang Ling's heart fell back into her stomach, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, then walked forward quietly. As if sensing her approaching aura, Han Jiangchen suddenly turned his head to look this way, 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 it seemed that there was still blood on the front of his clothes.

"The injury is so serious?" She immediately became anxious, took out the small bag containing the Qi recovery pill from her pocket, took out one and handed it to him, "Quick, eat this first, and I will help you stabilize it first." Injuries, and then hurry back to school, the equipment here can't handle the situation of cultivators."

Han Jiangchen didn't take the elixir, just looked at her silently, and said after a long time, "Did you come 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 go back with me first. You were injured by the demon king. If you delay for a long time, you have to stay questionable."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Han Jiangchen looked away, as if he didn't dare to face her, let alone accept the Qi Dan, Jiang Ling was a little puzzled by that expression: "What's wrong?"

"At the mall just now, someone died... I didn't protect them." He looked at his hands, "I failed to do the task assigned to me by the school."

That sword fairy once said that it would be a shame to slay a demon if a mortal dies in front of his face, and now he has already shouldered this shame.

"What did you say?" Jiang Ling was taken aback by the words, "Aren't you going back to school?"

Han Jiangchen was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "I am useless to the school."

— because I failed their trust.

——Because I'm such a waste.

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

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

"What kind of mission do you care about at this time? You almost died, do you know that?!" Jiang Ling said loudly, and took out the jade pendant from her pocket, "If that's the case, then nothing is really gone... That's why I came here!"

She was a little anxious, and without waiting for the other party 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! If I put What should I do if I lost a member... Huh?! What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ling had to shut her mouth halfway through her words, staring at the young man in front of her in surprise. Tears were streaming down those dark eyes.

Unexpectedly, someone would unconditionally look for him in the middle of the night. If he disappears into this world, there will really be someone who will remember him.

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

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

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

"What did you say I'm sorry! You..."

Just now Jiang Ling was able to keep calm all the time, but now she was completely at a loss, standing there and didn't know what to do. She could only calm down again, looking at the boy in front of her, trying to figure out his expression. Then she slowly reached out and patted his back carefully, as if comforting a baby in swaddling.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've seen it all, you've done a good job. This incident was purely accidental, no one will blame you. The demon king's reaction has disappeared, and there will be no more troubles in Jincheng. , Maybe hundreds of thousands of people will be saved because of this... In short, you are amazing, do you know? If Teacher Shangguan goes back and says something about you, I, I will help you to complain to Teacher Wei! The school must be standing On your side, don't worry, I'm here..."

She seemed to be frightened, and she spoke indiscriminately, as if coaxing a child. Han Jiangchen thought it was 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 relaxed, and she also laughed silly. Seeing Han Jiangchen smile, she also felt very happy.

"That's all right." She stuffed the pill and the jade pendant into Han Jiangchen's hand, "Come on, be good, eat the Huiqi pill. Leave the other things to me, and you can just concentrate on healing. Wait for you If it’s better, let’s go back to school, let’s go back together!”

This time Han Jiangchen complied. Jiang Ling sat next to him and infused him with spiritual power, waiting for him to adjust his breath to absorb the power of the medicine.

When the clock on the wall turned the sixth time, he finished the last Sunday and was barely able to stand up and walk. Jiang Ling then went to say hello to the person in charge, contacted the car that picked them up, and then drove He walked out the door.

In the early morning, there were very few people in this area, and the city roads of Nuoda were empty, 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 to the front and dragged him all the way to the car.

At this time, the first ray of light appeared from the distant sky, the edge of the earth was clearly outlined, and dazzling light spots bloomed from that line. Although the earth is still shrouded in shadows, but now there is a hazy light, which is spreading, from one point to the entire horizon, and finally covering the entire world.

The night passed.

Its daybreak.
