Chapter 259: Crisis of the Demon Suppression Division
"Brother has been captured in the Yin-Yang Mirror, and it is basically impossible for him to get out. Let's retreat and report to Elder Eagle first." Then the two of them collected the demon weapons in the air, tore through the void and left.

At this moment, inside the formation, Zhou Chen took back the Yin-Yang Mirror and looked at it. This time, there was no reflection of Zhou Chen in the Yin-Yang Mirror, but the figure of the Last Shadow appeared in it.

After seeing Zhou Chen's big face, Ender showed a look of horror on his face and seemed to be saying something, but Zhou Chen could no longer hear it.

Zhou Chen drew up a trace of true energy and injected it into the Yin-Yang Mirror. Instantly, raging flames ignited inside the mirror. Enderman was in great pain inside the flames. Even though he opened his mouth and screamed desperately, no sound came out.

Looking up, he found that the sky had returned to normal and the surrounding magic circles had disappeared. Zhou Chen did not hesitate at all and directly tore through the void and returned to his courtyard.

He had been in a hurry before and had not observed carefully. Now he thought that he did not seem to know the guy who had tipped him off.

"Could it be that the person who gave me the news was also a demon transformed?"

On the second day, the subordinates of Suzaku Hall came to report to him one by one. When Zhou Chen assigned tasks to them, he observed carefully and found that none of them were the people from last night. "Could it really be the demon, or is it that people from other halls deliberately came here to lure me out."

After what happened with Yu Xiu last time, the efficiency of the Demon Suppression Guards under his command has improved a lot recently. During this period, he also sent people out to observe secretly. These guys no longer use the blood of humans to improve their strength, but rely on their own cultivation, or the blood of the demons.

Another month passed peacefully like this. During this period, the poison in Zhou Chen's body had been basically eliminated, and his strength had recovered to 99%. During this month, Zhou Chen also killed some monsters.

During this period, he did not obtain any outstanding demon patterns, as they were all decomposed into strengthening points by him. He also used this to bring the Great Sumeru Finger to a perfect state.

Qinglong's injuries were also getting better day by day, and his body had recovered 80%. Because of his poor health, Zhou Chen did not tell him about the attack he had suffered. Zhou Chen had not encountered any demons in the past month.

But this is not a good thing. Zhou Chen feels that the demons have not made any move for such a long time, and they might be planning something big.

On this day, Zhou Chen and Qinglong went out to do some work, leaving only the two hall masters, Baihu and Xuanwu, in the entire Demon Suppression Division.

That night Xuanwu came to Baihu, and Baihu asked, "How is things going?"
"Don't worry, Demon King Zhentian is almost ready, the rest is up to us."

Baihu touched his chin and said, "In that case, let's set it for tomorrow night." Then he asked a demon-suppressing guard behind him, "How are Qinglong and the others doing?"
"Your Excellency Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird have already rushed to the demon's nest that we carefully prepared for them, and they will definitely not be back within three days."

After hearing this, Baihu nodded with satisfaction and said to Xuanwu, "This opportunity is rare. We have finally lured them both out, and also lured out the Demon Suppressors who are not under our control. This operation must not fail."

As for those weak Demon Suppression Guards, they were not taken into consideration at all. Based on their strength, they had no influence on this operation at all.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already late at night of the next day. Suddenly, a large number of monsters appeared outside the city. The expression of the city lord, who was maintaining the barrier in the city lord's mansion, changed slightly, and then he urged the true energy in his body to strengthen the barrier a little bit.

In order to save energy, the city lord had previously kept the barrier at a very low level. Although it could not defend against powerful monsters, it allowed the city lord to detect abnormalities outside the city at the first possible moment and strengthen the barrier in a timely manner.

However, the monsters outside the city stopped attacking immediately after seeing the barrier strengthened. As long as the barrier was slightly strengthened, they would attack again. As long as the barrier was strengthened again, they would stop immediately. Although this could not break the barrier, it could attract the city lord's full attention. Inside the Demon Suppression Division, Baihu and Xuanwu had already brought their trusted men to Zhen Nantian's residence.

Ever since Zhen Nantian began his retreat a year ago, no one has come here, and naturally, Zhen Nantian has set up a very strong barrier around the room.

Although the men behind Baihu and Xuanwu are all members of the Demon Suppression Division, their eyes are now filled with dark energy and their faces have dull expressions, as if they are zombies.

Baihu just gave the order, "Go guard outside the yard, no one is allowed to enter, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy." As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of Demon-Suppressing Guards surrounded the entire yard.

Baihu took out a pitch-black vajra from his storage ring. As he threw the vajra into the air, Xuanwu beside him and several demon-suppressing agents used their internal energy to attack the vajra. Baihu also injected his internal energy into the vajra. In an instant, black gas was emitted from all around the vajra.

Then the vajra flew high up to a height of thirty meters. With the control of the white tiger, the vajra in the air fell down at a high speed and hit the barrier heavily with a loud bang. Everyone in the Demon Suppression Bureau heard the noise.

In the courtyard of the 19th team of Qinglong Hall, Leng Ningshuang has lived in the Demon Suppression Division since Zhou Chen and Qinglong went out to perform the mission and no longer lived outside because the two had told him to pay more attention to Zhen Nantian's courtyard before they left. Now when he heard the loud noise, Leng Ningshuang knew that something might have happened, and he immediately took out a jade pendant from his storage ring and then crushed it on the spot.

After doing all this, he summoned all the Demon-Suppressing Guards of the Qinglong Hall and rushed towards Zhen Nantian's yard, while the Suzaku Hall also summoned people and rushed there.

On Zhou Chen's side, they were also attacking a barrier with all their might. Suddenly, a jade pendant on Zhou Chen's waist exploded. Although the sound was loud, it did not cause any harm to him.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen looked down and found that the jade pendant had been shattered, "Something happened to the Demon Suppression Division."

It was at this moment that Qinglong discovered the abnormality on Zhou Chen's waist, "Damn it, I finally found it, am I going to give up like this?"

The purpose of the two of them coming out this time was to find a herb. This pearl herb was very important to them. Zhou Chen got the news just a few days ago.

This news was told to him by Qinglong, which was that Zhen Nantian, who had been in seclusion for a year, did not die, but was poisoned and had to remain in seclusion to control the poison in his body.

The reason why he chose to tell him was that Qinglong finally got some news about the immortality grass that he had been searching for for a year. This pearl grass was very important to Zhen Nantian. As long as he had it, all the poison in Zhen Nantian's body could be forced out of his body. Not only that, Zhen Nantian could also use it to break through his limit and reach the third level.

And the remaining medicinal power can also enable Qinglong to break through again and reach the half-step third level.

However, it is not so easy to obtain this pearl herb, because this pearl herb is in a secret realm, and there is a powerful barrier at the entrance of the secret realm. Even if Qinglong and Zhou Chen work together, they cannot break it in a short time, and can only slowly consume the power of the barrier.

This barrier has the ability to recover on its own. As long as they stop attacking, the barrier will automatically restore its power.

Qinglong really didn't want to give up now.
