"Thud!"
Mu Jinyu landed lightly, and with a sweep of his palms, he turned a dozen mbers of the Dragon King Hall who had been transford into demons into a pile of corpses, their filthy blood splattering everywhere.
"Who?!"
The Dragon King Hall mbers who had been struggling with these demonized comrades for a long ti did not imdiately breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing the demon minions dealt with. Instead, they were sowhat jumpily staring in Mu Jinyu's direction, shouting in alarm.
"It's !"
Mu Jinyu, accompanied by Su Zijin and a few others, walked towards them.
Hearing this sowhat unfamiliar voice, the crowd was montarily stunned but then shouted excitedly, "Dragon Master? You're awake?"
The news of Mu Jinyu's awakening was still top-secret within the Dragon King Hall. Moreover, he had only awakened a day ago and had subsequently gone to look for Xiang Mantang, so it was natural that these Dragon King Hall mbers were unaware of his awakening.
"Yes, are you all right? What are the casualties?"
Mu Jinyu inquired.
He did not rashly approach them.
After all, at this mont, he could not guarantee that among these people there might still be demon minions lurking.
Although he was not afraid that so of these people might suddenly transform into demons and attack him, he saw no need to put himself in a dangerous situation.
Star General Niu Jin, Chen Sheng, answered Mu Jinyu's question with a bitter tone, "We are fine for now, but the situation is not good. Just now, so people suddenly changed drastically and attacked us, with at least a hundred dead or injured..."
"That's still manageable, fortunately you didn't encounter the Nursery Rhy Demon or the Knocking Demon, or else I reckon you all would have been wiped out!"
Hearing Chen Sheng's report, Mu Jinyu felt a bleeding sensation in his heart, yet he also felt sowhat relieved.
If the entire Dragon King Hall had been wiped out, the situation would have been truly disastrous.
Now, although over a hundred experts of the Dragon King Hall with Dark Energy and Energy Transformation had died, this outco was still sothing he could barely tolerate.
"Alright, you guys find a place to hide for now."
Mu Jinyu did not say much more to them, instead, he released his Divine Sense to search for Mu Hongchen's whereabouts.
He only hoped that nothing had happened to Mu Hongchen.
Even though Mu Hongchen did not have much strength, she was in charge of the intelligence and foreign affairs of the Dragon King Hall, and she had also been given considerable financial authority by Xiang Mantang last ti. Mu Jinyu would rather Wu Shisan get into trouble than see anything happen to Mu Hongchen.
Soon, Mu Jinyu confird the situation of Mu Hongchen. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly led Su Zijin and the others flying to where Mu Hongchen was.
"Won't you check them?"
Wen Rou, unable to help herself, flew up with Mu Jinyu and looked back at the few dozen still shaken mbers of the Dragon King Hall, unavoidably asking.
"No need to check. In this situation, checking is aningless. No one knows whether soone who just checked out fine might be corrupted by a demon the next mont."
Mu Jinyu explained, "We'll wait until I have Mu Hongchen contact the relevant personnel and secure sufficient reserves of gold and jade to manufacture the Gold Inlaid with Jade Magical Instrunt to put on them, which will provide absolute safety without the need for repeated checks."
Wen Rou and the others, hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, suddenly understood and also realized why Mu Jinyu didn't tell them that the transformation through blood could detect whether there were hiding demons among them. The source of this content ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe
Under the current circumstances, doing such checks really wasn't significant, since they were all aware that anyone could be demonized at any mont and were keeping guard against everyone, ensuring no imdiate mishaps would occur.
Among them, there might indeed be demon minions lurking, but if Mu Jinyu had told them and they found and exposed one, that person would surely die.
No one could guarantee that normal people who hadn't yet transford into demons after being eroded by such a disaster would have a way to be rescued afterward.
Therefore, doing this really did amount to not giving up on anyone who had a chance to be saved.
Of course, this could only delay things for a while, otherwise, they would eventually beco demons and would then be exterminated.
Mu Jinyu no longer bothered to explain further and hurried towards the office building where Mu Hongchen was.
At this mont, the office building where she was located had suffered heavy casualties; more importantly, there was a real demon continually attacking Mu Hongchen.
This demon, its form decayed like a rotten corpse, left a trail of filthy and foul-slling dirty blood and corpse water wherever it went. Mu Hongchen dared not get too close to the demon, cautiously holding a sword made of gold, barely managing to fight it.
But since the gap in strength between them was vast, even though the golden weapon had a restraining effect on the demon, Mu Hongchen could only just manage to suppress it without being able to imprison it.
"Roar!!"
An eerie and cold roar sounded, as all the corpse water and dirty blood on the ground floated up, condensing into a dark yellow liquid, wrapping around Mu Hongchen!
In an instant, faced with the demon's assault, Mu Hongchen felt a wave of despair, and slling that rotten, fishy corpse odor, she felt like vomiting.
"Bang!"
At this critical mont, Mu Jinyu instantly rushed to the demon's side, kicking it and sending it flying.
"Crash!"
The windows shattered, and this not-so-large demon was imdiately thrown out of the fifth-floor office, landing heavily on the concrete outside.
"Are you alright?"
Mu Jinyu asked Mu Hongchen.
"I'm... I'm okay…"
Mu Hongchen stared dumbfounded at Mu Jinyu's arrival, which had liberated her from her predicant, and she heaved a long sigh of relief, stuttering.
Just monts before, she had thought that being entangled by the demon without any external help, although she could fend it off temporarily, in the long run, she would undoubtedly die.
And just now, facing the attack of the corpse water, Mu Hongchen gradually felt she could no longer resist it, but unexpectedly, Mu Jinyu arrived just in ti to save her.
Thinking this, Mu Hongchen sowhat ashadly said, "Dragon Master, I am incompetent. When Lady Su was in trouble, I couldn't go to help."
Originally, upon receiving a call from Gu Xiyan, Mu Hongchen imdiately prepared to go to the Su Family Courtyard with golden weapons to support them, but due to a little delay, the land at the nearby foothill suddenly overturned, and then a rotten corpse erged, coming towards her office building…
Originally, this office building housed over a hundred people, but under the attack of the corroding demon, the corpse water was extrely terrifying, turning everyone into pools of filthy water, and Mu Hongchen was thus trapped, unable to leave.
Mu Hongchen, her voice breaking with a sob, said, "Dragon Master, you should hurry back now, you might still be able to save them…"
Mu Hongchen had been blocked by this demon for over an hour.
In her view, Su Zijin and Gu Xiyan were just ordinary people. Faced with the attack of a demonized subordinate, they probably had slim chances of survival.
But even if the chances were slim, there might still be a glimr of hope, which is why she called Mu Jinyu to hurry over to save people, letting herself continue to face this demon.
Mu Jinyu said, "That won't be necessary, I've already rescued the people, but I ca specifically because I was worried sothing might happen to you!"
Hearing the roaring noise coming from below, Mu Jinyu turned to Mu Hongchen and said, "Give the sword."
