Chapter 173 Sealing the Demon
These crazy monsters are likely to come down the mountain to kill living beings and heal the demon that has been sealed for hundreds of years.

All members of the Demon Suppression Division immediately put down everything they were doing and went to guard the base of Wuhua Mountain. If there were any demons coming down the mountain, they would be killed immediately.

At the same time, the county government and the city lord's mansion also sent people to the nearby villages to disperse the population to prevent the demons from coming down the mountain and slaughtering indiscriminately.

Everyone from the Demon Suppression Division also arrived at Wuhua Mountain as soon as possible. Qinglong was seriously injured and did not participate in this operation, but the other three hall masters all went out. The Demon Suppression Envoy followed the three hall masters to the mountains to deal with the demon.

Since Zhou Chen was no longer the Demon Suppressor, he escaped the disaster. He just led Leng Ningshuang and the other two to guard the mountain road.

Leng Ningshuang and the other person stared at the front nervously. At this time, Wuhua Mountain was covered with dark clouds, and the mountain forest was pitch black. From time to time, they could see a pair of blood-red eyes and the howling of wild beasts.

Zhou Chen comforted him, “Okay, don’t be so nervous, as long as they don’t come out,” and he was seen taking a nap leaning against a big tree.

Although one or two monsters would run down from time to time, they were all weak monsters and Leng Ningshuang and the others could easily deal with them. There was no need for Zhou Chen to take action at all.

It was not until late in the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, a streak of light suddenly streaked across the sky and flew straight towards the village not far away. Zhou Chen's Ultimate Eye was instantly activated.

"It's a flying monster. I'm going to take a look. Why don't you stay here any longer?" Then he stepped into the air and chased after it. When he was about to fly into the village, he was stopped by Zhou Chen.

This was a seventh-grade flying bird, with a pitch-black body and bloodshot eyes. Its mind had been eroded by demonic energy. Seeing Zhou Chen standing in front of it, it flapped its wings and dozens of wind blades flew directly towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen took a slight step and dodged his attack.

Seeing that his attack failed, he wanted to attack again, but just as he looked up, he saw an illusory pagoda coming towards him. The pagoda was about five meters high and almost the same size as his body. This hit killed him instantly.

With the death of the monster, the pagoda shadow also disappeared. This was just the tower body condensed by the power of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower. It was not the real Linglong Tower. At this time, the Linglong Tower was being nurtured in his dantian.

Because the distance was too far, although Leng Ningshuang and the other person on the ground looked towards Zhou Chen, they did not see clearly what means Zhou Chen used to deal with the monster.

After returning to the ground, Zhou Chen discovered that Leng Ningshuang and the other had killed several more monsters. The sky had completely darkened, and bursts of roars of monsters could be heard from the depths of Wuhua Mountain.

"Oh no, a large number of monsters are approaching us." Upon hearing this, Wang Yong slapped his storage bag and took out five flags and threw them around. The moment the five thunder flags landed on the ground, lightning exploded and protected the three people.

Soon, a large number of monsters appeared in front of the three people. Most of them were of eighth-grade strength, but there were a small number of seventh-grade monsters hidden among them.

Wang Yong just made a hand gesture and slapped the ground, and a magic circle instantly appeared under the feet of the three people. The moment he raised his hand, a thunder dragon appeared above him, and then flew towards the many monsters in front.

The Thunder Dragon's full-strength attack directly killed most of the monsters, but there were still many monsters with stronger strength that resisted the attack, and the remaining monsters became even more violent after being struck by lightning.

After all, his cultivation was not enough, otherwise the previous attack would have killed them all. This attack consumed a lot of his energy, and at this time he was no longer able to support the Five Thunder Flags. He saw the five large flags around him shrink rapidly and then fly into the storage bag on his waist. These five small flags were also magic weapons, but he didn't know what level they were. Wang Yong obviously hadn't completely refined the Five Thunder Flags, otherwise he wouldn't have put them in the storage bag.

Looking at the monsters in front of him, Zhou Chen snorted coldly and the cold air in his body burst out. These monsters were instantly frozen into ice sculptures. He had fought with the bird before just to see the power of Linglong Tower. Otherwise, Zhou Chen only needed to slightly burst out the cold air in his body to kill it.

Then Zhou Chen took out a Qi-recovering pill and put it into the kettle. He waited until the medicinal power was dissolved before giving it to Wang Yong. The medicinal power of this Qi-recovering pill was too strong for you to bear, so you could only take it after the medicinal power was dissolved.

Wang Yong nodded and took a sip of water. After a while, he recovered as before. Fortunately, Zhou Chen was there for them so they were not in any danger. However, the other teams were in a miserable situation as they did not have a sixth-grade warrior in charge. It was okay for them to deal with a small number of monsters, but they could not stop a large-scale attack like the one just now.

The higher-ups also knew this, so they asked Zhou Chen to guard the main road down Wuhua Mountain, while the other teams were responsible for some small roads, or places where monsters might appear, as there were relatively fewer monsters in those places.

Furthermore, deep in the Wuhua Mountain, the three hall masters are working together to suppress the demons, and those demon-suppressing envoys are responsible for protecting them. Because those powerful monsters have directly broken through to the sixth level after being eroded by demonic energy, these monsters are responsible for helping the evil demons break through the seal.

At this time, demonic energy was rampant in a cave. At the entrance of the cave, there was a magic circle that blocked the demonic energy from overflowing. However, a crack had appeared on the magic circle, and traces of demonic energy were emerging from it.

The three hall masters are trying their best to repair the crack, and their combined efforts have paid off. The crack is healing quickly, and just as it is about to heal, a heart-wrenching roar is heard from inside, "No, I've been trapped for a thousand years, I won't give up, I want to get out", and as it speaks, the demonic energy increases its force to impact the seal.

However, his strength was still a little bit weaker than the combined strength of the three hall masters, and the last crack was completely healed at this moment.

The instantaneous seal on the healing process became more powerful and directly suppressed his magic power. Not only that, even the monsters that were invaded by the magic energy had their magic energy suppressed in their bodies at this moment.

The monsters regained consciousness instantly, and upon seeing the officials from the Demon Suppression Division, they were so scared that they immediately fled. The Demon Suppression Officers had been badly injured in dealing with these monsters, and now they had no energy left to chase them and could only let them leave. The three hall masters were also exhausted at this time, "Okay, this trouble is finally solved, let's retreat first."

The moment the seal was restored, all the monsters on the mountain that were infected by evil spirits regained consciousness, except for those monsters that broke through the encirclement and left Wuhua Mountain, as they had already left the coverage of the seal.

After dealing with a group of monsters, Zhou Chen received the retreat signal from the Demon Suppression Bureau and immediately went back with Leng Ningshuang and the other two. Before leaving, he specially collected the corpses on the ground. Although these corpses were infected by demonic energy, the demonic energy would dissipate after death. He could make a fortune by taking these corpses back to Wu'an County, but of course, a share would also be shared by Leng Ningshuang and the other two.

When they returned, Zhou Chen's two storage rings were full, and Leng Ningshuang and the other's storage bags were also full of monster corpses.

After returning to Wu'an County, Zhou Chen asked Wang Yong to find a buyer while he took Leng Ningshuang back to the Demon Suppression Division first. Only after returning did he realize that the Demon Suppression Division had suffered heavy casualties this time.

Two people died and more than thirty were injured. Almost every team had more or less wounded, except Zhou Chen's team. Not long after resting, Zhou Chen was called over by Qinglong again. The reason for calling him was very simple. The monsters that escaped the encirclement were killing indiscriminately outside the city, so Qinglong specially sent them to go and kill the monsters.
