But even so, hundreds of monks were killed.
Ye Cheng read the military report and handed it to An Ning.
"An Ning, look, things are indeed a bit strange."
"Judging from Zhu Zizhen's statement, it should be that the demon soldiers were suddenly brainwashed. As far as I know, no one in Dazhou, neither an immortal cultivator nor a demon, knows this kind of magic."
"Brother Ye Cheng, what do you think is going on?"
"It should be the work of the remnants of Rongguo or the masters of Yuan, Wei and Chen. You should cast a spell immediately and send a message to An Xin to come back. I want to ask her, who is there in the northern border who can use such a powerful puppetry technique."
After all, Zhu Zizhen's subordinates lost control collectively instantly, rather than slowly losing control part by part. Such a large-scale puppetry technique is not something that ordinary small characters can perform.
"Okay, I'll cast the spell now."
An Ning's cultivation has progressed rapidly, and now she has mastered the technique of teleportation.
It was for this reason that Ye Cheng dared to let her do such a thing.
That afternoon, An Xin came to Phoenix City.
"Yecheng, I'm here."
"Come and take a look." Ye Cheng handed Zhu Zizhen's letter to An Xin.
An Xin took the letter and glanced at it, then said four words, "The curse of the devil?"
"What is that?"
Ye Cheng asked.
"Oh, it's like this, brother-in-law, in the Demon Locking Tower of Wei State, the sealer is a demon emperor who is as powerful as the demon emperor you killed in the Demon Locking Tower of Yan State.
That Demon Emperor's ability is to instantly brainwash the demon clan on a large scale. Currently, only demon king-level demons can resist his puppets. The art of puppetry. "
"The art of puppetry is called the curse of the puppet."
"This kind of magic has a more obvious effect on the lower-level monsters. Once caught, there is no cure unless the caster is defeated or the time limit has expired."
Wei Guo? Demon Emperor?
Could it be that the Wei people colluded with the Demon Emperor?
But, if that's the case, why would the Demon Emperor use this technique first on the southern battlefield, rather than on the eastern front where the Wei army is located?
"Well, An Xin, you go to Wei State with me now to investigate."
An Xin nodded, "Okay. But that Demon Emperor is very powerful, and I am no match for him."
"But I am, it doesn't know that I have lost all my cultivation, I can scare him."
"Brother Ye Cheng, you can't go, if you can't scare him, it will be bad!"
An Ning hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Don't worry, An Ning, I have my own sense of discretion."
Looking at Ye Cheng's confident look, An Ning had no choice but to make way for Ye Cheng.
When Ye Cheng arrived at Feihu City, everything was calm here and the Wei army did not launch an attack.
As expected, Xia Houqing is very smart.
As expected, he did not send anyone to fight in Dayan, but just sent all his troops outside Feihu City.
Since there was no need to go to Feihu City, Ye Cheng directly bypassed his own city and arrived outside Xia Houqing's camp.
These days, Xia Houqing looks sad every day, even though he wrote a letter to Ye Cheng.
But he was not sure whether Ye Cheng could understand his situation. He was now afraid that Ye Cheng would send people to kill him.
Just when he was in confusion, someone suddenly came in and reported, "Marshal, General Yan Guo wants to see you."
"Great, please come quickly!"
After a while, Xia Houqing saw Ye Cheng and An Xin.
"Marshal Xiahou, you are well."
"Ye...General Ye? Why are you here? Why are you here? What do you do?"
"There is indeed a noble man, Marshal, is there a Demon Emperor in your country's Demon Locking Tower?"
/>
"Exactly, you're here for its business? Our country's current king is virtuous and the dragon spirit is deep, and the Demon Emperor can't come out."
"It's true that he can't come out, but people can cast spells to influence the outside world in the tower."
Ye Cheng said helplessly.
「那，大将军呢？」
「我要去贵过的锁妖塔里，问候一下那个魔帝，顺便带走他的小命。」
Xia Houqing heard the words and gave a bitter smile, "General, with all due respect, that Demon Locking Tower is our forbidden area in Wei Dynasty and is heavily guarded. Moreover, that Demon Emperor's ability reaches the sky, you..."
Xia Houqing said, his eyes full of doubts.
He knew that Ye Cheng was powerful, but he also knew better how terrifying the Demon Emperor was.
In his eyes, Ye Cheng may not be the opponent of the Demon Emperor.
Hearing this, An Xin laughed, "Did you know that Dayan's predecessor, Rongguo, also had a demon locking tower in Rongguo?"
"Are you?"
"The Green Snake King of Dayan, An Xin, oh, I was originally the Green Snake King of Dayan. General, you may have heard of my reputation, but what I want to tell you now is that not long ago, Ye Cheng killed the demon emperor in our Dayan Suo Demon Tower with one move."
Xia Houqing looked at Ye Cheng in surprise, because he knew very well that the demon emperor in Rongguo was much more powerful than the demon emperor in the Demon Locking Tower in Wei.
"General, please take it. Remember, you must follow the route on the map, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, your soldiers can't do anything to me."
Ye Cheng said this and smiled, "Don't worry, I can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise I will be punished by heaven."
According to Xia Houqing's map, An Xin and Ye Cheng came to the back of a rockery.
Across this rockery, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the underground of the Demon Locking Tower.
"Brother-in-law, is that the secret passage that Xia Houqing mentioned, right?"
An Xin pointed to a secret passage not far away and said.
Ye Cheng nodded, "That's where the picture is, go in."
This secret passage is dark and damp. As soon as you enter, you can smell the smell of decay.
I don’t know how long it has been since no one left...
After walking for a full three hours, Ye Cheng and An Xin arrived at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower.
"An Xin, on which floor is that Demon Emperor imprisoned?"
"The ninth floor underground, right? I remember, I heard the little demon from the Wei Kingdom say it before."
Ye Cheng pointed to the stairs in front and asked, "That means we have to go down instead of up?"
From a distance, Ye Cheng did feel the presence of a large amount of demonic energy.
But these demonic energies are very weak, and are completely different from the demonic aura in the Demon Locking Tower in Kyoto and the Demonic Locking Tower in Yan State before.
"An Xin, according to the strength of the demonic energy, this Demon Emperor is much weaker than the Demon Emperor of Yan State and the Pseudo-Zhou Demon Emperor?"
An Xin shook his head, "No, on the contrary, this Demon Emperor is stronger than the two you met before."
"Then, what's going on?"
Ye Cheng pointed around, "Didn't you realize that the pressure here is far less oppressive than the two people I met before?"
An Xin nodded, "It's strange, the demonic energy here shouldn't be so weak."
Soon, the two of them reached the ninth floor underground.
A heavy stone door blocked their way.
This stone gate, according to Xia Houqing, was built by the sages of the Wei State in order to cooperate with the dragon's energy and seal off the demon emperor.
Xia Houqing also gave Ye Cheng the method of opening the door.
Ye Cheng silently recited the incantation, and the stone door opened.
Behind the stone door is a huge circular room. The room is filled with dragon aura and demonic aura.
But...the thing Ye Cheng wants to see most is not here.
That Demon Emperor is gone!
An Xin's face instantly turned pale.
"Brother-in-law, it would be terrible if this demon emperor broke the seal and left!"
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "But he has already gone out, we fell into the trap, An Qing lured us here deliberately!"
"She knows that you will be able to tell the origin of the magic puppet curse, and she also knows that I will definitely come here to try to solve the source of all this..."
