Chapter Nine: Bad Luck
the current environment is different from my past life, there aren't so many entertainment facilities. After thinking about it, this is the only option left.Lóngshǒu Mountain.After the news spread fr...Within the Demon Suppression Division, Dongfang Zhao felt something in his heart. He walked out of the Hall of Discussion and looked towards the direction of Fengyun Village.
Just now.
There was a powerful aura of evil emanating from that direction.
As a guardian of the place.
He understood that was the power only a powerful and eerie being could possess.
“That direction is where Fengyun Village is located. It seems that there is indeed a terrifying monster there.”

The eastern emperor didn't plan to make a move.
His identity is different from that of the other Defenders.
Other garrison commanders, when powerful demons appear, will go to suppress them immediately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But.
The Demon Suppression Division of the capital city has a Sealing Demon Tower and a Demon Suppressing Prison.
These two places are particularly important.
If I leave myself, what if something happens to the Demon Tower and the Demonic Prison That would be much more troublesome than dealing with a demon-level monster.
To prevent accidents.
> Someone must be stationed here to guard it. We absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur at either seal location.

"Demons are now wreaking havoc within the capital, it's not impossible that the Demon Suppression Division has plans to release them. A ploy to lure tigers away from the mountains, hmph!" Dongfang Shuo's face grew cold.
Right now, the demon's every move is transparent to him.
To lure the tiger away from the mountain.
It's not unusual.
Suddenly.

Yet, a powerful aura of malevolence erupted.
Eastern Emperor's face changed slightly: "Another formidable, monstrous creature. It seems it won't rest until a powerful being is lured away!"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
"來人！"
"What orders does the General have for me!"
A person walked over and bowed.
The Eastern Emperor took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the other party: "Take my token to Qingyun Academy and invite a great Confucian scholar to discuss matters with the Demon Suppression Division!"
"Yes!"
In the grand hall of deliberation.
Dongfang Zhao stood there, facing him was an elderly man in a blue long robe, with mutton chops and slightly sunken cheeks. His eyes were not as cloudy as those of ordinary old men, but rather sharp and bright.
“The Eastern Watch Commander sent for me. I wonder what urgent matter could bring him to summon me”
Looking at the person before him, Chen Shu remained composed. He didn't appear arrogant, nor did he stoop to flattery.
Though he was a great scholar of Qingyun Academy, he also came from the National School.
Discussing social status.
It is not much inferior to a garrison commander.
Donghang's expression was gentle, and he spoke calmly: "Just now I sensed two surges of sinister energy, both of the formidable level. Currently, there are few powerful individuals within the Demon Suppression Division, so I hope that Dean Chen will lend a hand."
>
The Qingyun Academy has an academy president and a vice president.
Chen Shu.
He is one of the vice-presidents at Qingyun Academy.

Upon hearing this.
Chen Shu remained composed, nodding slightly: "Certainly!"
That's all for now.
He paused.
>
"But this old man has a request, hoping that the Eastern Garrison can lend a hand."
"Director Chen, please speak!"
“There are students from my Qingyun Academy ahead who were imprisoned for discussing demonic affairs. If possible, I hope the Eastern Town Guard will show leniency and release them all.”
Chen Shu said calmly.
After some thought, Dong Fang Zhao nodded.
>
“If the situation is not serious, I can let them go. But if it's serious, there's nothing I can do. You know how difficult the current situation is, Dr. Chen must understand this too.”
Of course.
Chen Shu nodded.
He was also aware of the concerns of the imperial edict.
Now, the problem of demons and evils is a taboo subject in the capital. The students from Qingyun Academy were imprisoned because they were involved in rumors. If this matter isn't handled carefully, it could lead to many complications.
That's exactly how it is.
Chen Shu didn't take matters into his own hands, but instead found a compromise by seeking help from the Demon Suppression Division.
Compared to the Demon Suppression Division.
Qingyun Academy, after all, was still lacking.
After the two had finished discussing, when Chen Shu was leaving, Dong Fangzheng's face didn't relax much.
Now only the eerie and monstrous figures appear.
But he could not guarantee that no more ferocious and eerie creatures would appear, perhaps even those of a higher level.
“A horde of demons dancing wildly!”
Dongfang Zhao sighed.
During the reign of Emperor Zhou, the city of Lu'an was besieged by rebels. The barbarian tribes attacked Dayang Prefecture. Demons and evil spirits ran rampant throughout the land. Now, even the mighty Qin Empire could only be described as a chaotic world where demons danced.
Fengyun Village.
The thick fog dissipated.
Jiangzuo felt like crying.
He didn't expect his luck to be so unbelievably bad.
In front of it.
All the mist had vanished, leaving only a grand house standing there.
The sky was overcast today. In front of the house, two large red lanterns hung from the gate, as if celebrating a happy occasion. Two people stood at the entrance, their cheeks smeared with crimson rouge on either side, and the rest of their faces were white, almost frighteningly so. They both wore enthusiastic smiles.
It's just a stiff smile, like two paper people, giving anyone who sees it a creepy feeling.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Needless to say.
Anyone on the Jiangzu side could understand what was before them: this courtyard and those two individuals, exactly what they were.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That aura of powerful, sinister energy unique to a Specter-class monster had vanished, but he could still sense a great threat within the courtyard.
There was no hesitation.
He just stood there for a moment, then Jiang Zuo turned and walked away.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to rush in and fight a demon to the death.
>
It's possible to retreat.
It's probably still better to step back.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Zuo stopped again.
Before him, the manor house still stood.
But unlike before, the normally tightly shut gates of the courtyard were now ajar, as if something was about to emerge from within.
This is the end of it.

Let the manager of the Huangbu Exorcism Academy, his face as dark as water.
"Barrier!"
He could now be certain that he was absolutely trapped within the barrier.
The barrier of demons.
To put it simply.
It is a manifestation of spiritual power that can confuse people trapped within its barrier, making it impossible for them to leave.
Although Jiang Zuo understood exactly what was going on, he had no way to break the barrier.
Withdraw again.
But soon.
On the left bank of the river, Jiang Zuo's path was once again blocked by the courtyard.
And compared to before, the opening of the courtyard gate was widened again.
Two people at the door still had smiles on their faces, full of warmth. But to him, those smiles seemed cold and sinister instead.
“Every time I leave and encounter the courtyard again, the courtyard door will open a little. When the courtyard door is completely open, that's when the demons inside will truly make their move!”
"Then if I don't leave, and stay here instead, would the gate of the courtyard open slower——"
His mind was racing.
It's an undeniable fact that I am currently being targeted by demonic beings.
The rest.
The key is to think about how to survive in the hands of demons.
“Just now, a surge of sinister energy erupted. The Demon Suppression Division must have had strong cultivators aware of it. If I can hold on for a while longer, maybe some powerful allies will arrive!”
Now, on the left bank of the river, all hope can only be placed in others.
Know yourself.
Though he was a martial artist of innate extreme limits, he couldn't possibly be a match for a monstrous creature of the fiendish rank.
Now.
All I can do is wait for rescue.
But Jiang Zuo couldn't be sure if the Zhen Mo Si would come to his aid, and even if they did, he might already be dead by then.
Just as he was thinking about something.
Goo goo!
The sound of wood rubbing against wood echoed, and the gate to the courtyard creaked open just a fraction more.
This scene darkened Jiang Zuo's face even further.
It didn't work after all!
He thought that if he didn't leave, the gate of the courtyard would open slower, but unexpectedly, the courtyard gate was still opening little by little.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That kind of feeling.
>
This left Jiang Zuo with a feeling of awaiting death's arrival, an uncontrollable surge of restlessness within him.
"Wait a little longer!"
“Don’t act rashly. Right now, the most important thing is to delay time.”
Procrastination.
Every minute of delay is another minute of hope for survival.
Demons want to play.
Then just play with her yourself.
...but his mental state can't collapse. If it does, he's truly doomed.
Jiang Zuo stood still.
His right hand had rested on the saber at his waist. His eyes focused, gazing at the courtyard ahead, as he slowly gathered his strength.
Goo goo!
Goo goo ga ga!
Every fifteen minutes, the gate to the courtyard would open a fraction.
As time goes by.
The gate of the courtyard was already half-open.
Following the gate inward, Jiang Zuo could see a red glow within, and the sound of suona horns being played. It truly seemed like a grand household was celebrating a joyous occasion.
But more things.
He couldn't see clearly anymore.
Suddenly.
Boom—
The half-open door swung wide open with a bang.
A deafening roar echoed through the air, causing Jiang Zuo's heart to skip a beat. However, fear did not grip him. He still held his sword tightly, awaiting the final moment to strike.
>
His gaze swept across the room.
A group of people were dressed in bright red celebratory clothes, each with painted faces and enthusiastic smiles. However, those smiles, like the two people at the door, were stiff and chillingly fake.
The person in the lead walked ahead, blowing a shrill suona.

However, it was a large red flower sedan chair being carried.
Hold on!
As the wedding procession drew nearer, Jiang Zuo secretly reassured himself. His true qi was now at a peak on the verge of exploding.
Just as he was about to make his move.
The welcoming procession suddenly came to a halt.
The big red sedan chair landed with a soft, gentle voice coming from inside.
>
Since my husband has already arrived, why are you still standing there
At this time, the sound of the suona stopped, and only a soft voice rose in the silent night sky.
>
That sound, falling on Jiang Zuo's ear, was like a little cat scratching at his heart, making him feel restless and eager to move.
Such changes.
Immediately let him realize, then hold your heart steady and look at the flower sedan chair with a few more solemn eyes.
Just relying on sound alone, one could be on the verge of losing their composure. The demonic power emanating from the flower palanquin was truly frightening.
Seeing that Jiang Zuo said nothing.
A pair of snowy white hands reached out from the palanquin. The people on either side bowed and rolled up the curtains.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At once.
The scene inside the flower palanquin appeared in Jiang Zuo's line of sight.
Dressed in a crimson robe, adorned with a phoenix crown, her skin was as white as snow, fair and delicate. Her features were exquisite, resembling a blooming peach blossom. Every smile and glance captivated the heart and held one spellbound.llowed to grow unchecked, the day he ascended to become a Divine Master would be a nightmare for the Bi Xuan Divine Clan.Although Bai Jue, the God Master, held himself in high regard, there was one th...
