Chapter 40: Ghost-Faced Demon Venerable

There was a sharp pain like tearing in his body, his eyelids trembled slightly, and Ye Shu barely opened his eyes.

He was about to get up, but his body suddenly felt a sense of weakness.

A beautiful figure hurriedly stepped forward, held it up, and said with concern.

"Ye Gongzi, how do you feel physically?"

Ye Shu's lips were pale, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you Miss Yun for the elixir, otherwise it would be impossible to recover so quickly." ”

Being stared at like this by the man in front of her, Yun Lingyu's side swelled up with a trace of blush, and she lowered her head almost reflexively.

"Childe's words are serious, it was the adult who rescued him."

"Your Excellency?!"

Ye Shu was slightly stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Ahem!"

A somewhat weak cough sounded, Ye Shu followed the sound and saw a young man dressed in white with a handsome face sitting upright between a bluestone, pranayama and meditating.

The white-clothed patrol looked haggard, and a trace of dark red blood was oozing from his mouth.

Burst!

A mouthful of viscous black blood spurted out of its mouth, and the white-clothed patrol bent down in pain, several green tendons faintly swelled on his handsome face, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Seeing this, Ye Shu hurriedly took out the silver needle he was carrying.

Ever since he received the system's Sight Reward, he has been carrying the Silver Needle in case of injuries that may arise at any time.

"Don't move!"

After a command, Ye Shu pinched the tail of the needle and slowly pushed it into the neck of the man in white.

Ye Shu's expression was very solemn, he had two magic skills, the Eye of Delusion and the Sight and Smell, and he had previously pointed out the man in white to temporarily stabilize his injuries.

But far water could not quench the thirst of the near, and after a fierce battle, the injuries on the body of the white-clothed inspector tended to worsen.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans continued to gush out between Ye Shu's forehead, and his hand holding the needle began to tremble slightly.

Acupuncture is a delicate task that requires concentration, but now he consumes too much and is really quite powerless.

"Little brother, don't waste your efforts."

The white-clothed inspector spoke weakly, his words soft, but faintly irresistible.

This is the impact of being in a high position for many years, and it is also the sense of oppression that a Soul Casting Realm powerhouse has, whether he wants it or not.

"I know that your methods are clever, and as far as I can see, you are enough to rank in the top three in the world."

"But I was severely injured in the Demon Domain, injuring the Spirit Mansion, and now I have been injured by the demons of the Taixu Demon Clan with a dark spring, and it no longer erodes my vitality all the time."

"Even if the legendary miracle doctor is alive, I'm afraid it is a lack of skills, cough cough ......"

The man in white coughed even more, and the whole person was full of a sense of death.

"It's just that I still have something to do."

Yun Lingyu also stepped forward and asked, "What does the senior need the two of us to do?" ”

The white-clothed inspector smiled with relief.

"Little girl, you are a person from the Taixu Palace, right?"

The clouds listen to the rain and the mantis are microdotted.

Ye Shu didn't have much of an accident, presumably when he was unconscious, Yun Lingyu used the secret technique or elixir of the Taixu Palace to help him heal his injuries, and was recognized by the white-clothed patrol envoy.

"Heaven will not kill me!"

After receiving an affirmative reply, the white-clothed man's face suddenly appeared in ecstasy.

Taixu Palace is a decent family and one of the top forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is definitely the best person to carry out that matter.

"My name is Tang Zheng, and I am one of the nine major inspectors appointed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, ranking among the three ranks!"

Even if he was extremely weak, the voice of the white-clothed patrol envoy revealed a hint of pride.

Ye Shu also showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

It is different from the Great Qi Dynasty in the west and some small states in the surrounding area.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had extremely strict requirements for the appointment, dismissal and promotion of officials, and only because after the official uniform was crowned, the dynasty's luck would be divided into a part of it.

If it is a local official, if the official seal can be awarded, it can mobilize part of the aura of a state or a county.

In a word, even if it is an ordinary person who has no cultivation foundation, after becoming a county lord or assassin history, he can become a top master, such as Chen Dingfang's first-class.

In the same way, the strength of local officials is also closely related to the governance of the land and the people's livelihood.

If the government is lazy and the people complain, the number of gas in the land will be cut by half.

In order to supervise the state officials and prevent them from sitting on the land, the Emperor set up a supervision department in one hundred and eight prefectures in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

From time to time, the central government will send an inspector to inspect and probe the achievements of local officials.

The Kyoto Inspector Envoy, holding a letter from the central government, rewarded and punished officials from all over the country on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and his power was so great that he could even directly appoint and dismiss a prefecture and county.

Because of this, Ye Shu was really surprised to see that this Tang was so young, and he was entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor.

"A few months ago, I toured the southern states in the name of today's son, ostensibly to test the performance of school officials, but in fact ......"

Tang Zheng spurted out a mouthful of black blood again, and his voice was intermittent.

Ye Shu hurriedly administered an injection to him and asked him to continue.

"In fact, I was ordered by my emperor to go to the demon domain to investigate a piece of information."

Ye Shu and Yun Lingyu both looked solemn.

"In recent years, the beast tide on the southern border of my Great Zhou has been frequent, and the demon clan is menacing, and there is a faint momentum to start the war again." A hint of obscurity flashed in Tang Zheng's cloudy eyes.

"They always seem to be able to understand the fighters one step ahead of us, know the weaknesses of the border army soldiers in the formation, and win by surprise, and the Great Zhou Ruishi also suffered heavy casualties as a result."

"How is this possible?" Yun Lingyu exclaimed in surprise, she had heard of the defeat of the Great Perimeter Army in the Southern Regions, but she never thought that the situation would be so serious.

Ye Shu didn't speak, but he also had the same question in his heart.

As soon as luck is said to be mysterious, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty achieved the appearance of the emperor with heavenly opportunities, so as to achieve the feat of rewarding and punishing officials, dividing the land and weeping ghosts and gods.

Even if the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty weakened in the future, but in the Heavenly Machine, the Great Zhou would actually lose to the demon clan that it regarded as a barbarian?

"At first, the official was also very confused, but when I came to the Demon Domain, I heard that the Demon Domain has undergone earth-shaking changes over the years." Tang Zheng said with a wry smile.

"Originally, the eight royal families of the Demon Domain were opposed to each other and restrained each other, but in the past few years, they have been unified."

"What?!"

Ye Shu and Yun Lingyu exclaimed at the same time.

The major royal clans of the Demon Domain have always regarded themselves very highly, and regard other races as heretics.

In the history of the demon race, several major royal families were opposed to each other, and even if there were common enemies, the human race and the demon race, they had never really worked together.

Take the biggest war that broke out between the human race and the demon race, at that time, the Great Zhou and the Great Qi and the surrounding countries were slightly inferior, and the main force of the demon clan was only out of the six major royal families, a large royal family watched from the wall, and there was even a big royal family and other small clans picking quarrels and provoking trouble behind people's backs.

That great battle naturally ended in a complete victory for the Terrans!

It is not uncommon for the Great Zhou alone to seize the land of the ten states of the Demon Domain, and even so, the Demon Clan still did not repent.

Tang Zheng continued: "That big demon is not very famous, and it can even be said that he is nameless before. No one knows what race he came from, but when he ascended to the throne, he carried the heads of several King Realm demon beasts to the crown. ”

Ye Shu frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Even if it is really as the adults said, that big demon is so talented, but how can the demon clan predict the deployment of Great Zhou's troops?" ”

"Alas!" Tang Zheng sighed and said, "That big demon is known as the Ghost Face Demon Venerable, and no one has ever seen his true face. ”

"The eight royal clans of the Demon Domain have deliberately assassinated the Ghost-Faced Demon Venerable many times, and whenever they feel that he is certain to die, the Ghost-faced Demon Venerable can always appear in front of the world with another face."

"And before the Ghost-faced Demon Venerable became the overlord of the Demon Domain, he secretly trained a group of big demons, handed over this hidden secret technique to them, and secretly lurked in the states of our human race, this organization is called Night Fox."

Ye Shu "chuckled" in his heart, he vaguely understood something.

"According to this official's multi-day investigation in the Demon Domain, my Great Zhou Imperial Court has already been mixed in with the demon clan's spies, who may be a prince in the down-and-out cold family, or a border army soldier who is fighting abroad, or a high-ranking official in Kyoto."

"The members of the Night Fox are scattered throughout the territory of my Great Zhou, completely concealing the demonic energy in their bodies, and even the great arithmetic who has cultivated the Divine Power Eye of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion can't see it."

"These people are like poisonous snakes in the dark, once they show their fangs, they are likely to shake my Great Zhou Guozuo."

Tang Zheng stood up with difficulty and bowed, "I implore you two to bring this news to the Holy Lord today." ”

"This is a matter of life and death for hundreds of millions of subjects of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the rise and fall of the entire human race."
