The peach wood sword shining with golden light turned into a hundred-meter-long golden dragon under the support of Ye Ning's full-powered Taoist power!
More than a dozen golden-armored warriors tens of meters tall appeared out of thin air. This was the talisman of turning beans into soldiers!
A colorful magic spell flashed in the air, and then shot towards the tall Black Mountain Monster. This was the Five Elements Talisman.

Although the cards cannot be used, Ye Ning's combat effectiveness is not bad in this world.

All of this was seen by Shi Wenwu on the other side.

He was not surprised, only relieved.

He had no objection to the old chief's decision. Lord Ye had done favors for the entire Demon-Slaying Bureau, and the position of chief originally belonged to him. It was a pity that Lord Ye accidentally got involved in the dispute over the orthodoxy, which eventually led to him fighting alone against the demons without any support. Even if he was strong, he could not withstand the continuous attacks.

Fortunately, at this moment, Master Xiao Ye’s talent seems to be not only not inferior to Master Ye, but even better than Master Ye. If he is given more time, not only will he be promoted to the position of the head of the Demon Slayer Division, but he may even have a chance to avenge Master Ye. . .

Of course, he could only keep this matter in his heart. Even if he had this idea, he had to wait until Lord Xiao Ye’s strength reached that level!
There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Shi Wenwu's hands did not stop moving for even a second.

As the deputy chief of the Demon Slaying Division, Shi Wenwu is very powerful, but his sword immortal abilities are not as gorgeous as those of other practitioners.

There were a total of seventeen long swords in the sword box in his hand.

Seventeen long swords transformed into seventeen rainbow lights and continuously attacked the Black Mountain Monster.

Although the expressiveness could not compare with the various flashes of light on Ye Ning's side, the effect of the attack was not inferior to Ye Ning's in any way, and was even much better.

After all, the greatest characteristic of the Sword Immortal is his ultimate lethality.

He abandoned all his abilities and poured all his strength into his sword. In addition to Shi Wenwu's own extremely profound cultivation, every time his sword passed through the Black Mountain Old Demon's body, it could take away a large amount of ghost energy.

Under the attack of the two, the ghost energy from the Black Mountain Old Demon continued to surge, and countless ghost energy turned into eerie ghost shadows wandering around. The huge ghost shadow released countless terrifying forces in the entire underground space.

These forces filled the entire underground space, trying to constantly stimulate the negative emotions in Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu's hearts.

This is the special ability of the Black Mountain Old Ghost as the King of Ghosts. If you are not careful and let the negative emotions in your body be triggered, you will be pulled into the illusion in an instant.

This move is actually very threatening to Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu. Ye Ning has just started practicing, while Shi Wenwu is a sword immortal who is not very good at defense.

Unfortunately, Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu were not the only ones coming down at this moment.

There is also a ghost.

A ghost who practices special ghost magic.

Nie Xiaoqian!
I saw a flash of purple light in her eyes, and all the evil spirits around her were instantly absorbed by her.

Although she is also a ghost, the special ghost fairy way that Nie Xiaoqian is practicing now can be said to be the nemesis of all kinds of ghosts.

All the negative energy and ghost energy are her food. In front of her, no ghost power can exert its original strength.

Even ghosts who are much stronger than her cannot do this. This is an essential restraint.

The battle did not last long.

The Black Mountain Old Demon is huge in size, and the yin energy and ghost power in his body are extremely enormous.

But with the joint efforts of Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu, it could only endure the consequences in this magic circle.

Most of the huge yin energy and ghost power were completely swallowed up by Nie Xiaoqian.

Such a huge amount of Yin energy and ghost power made Nie Xiaoqian feel full for the first time. Finally, because there was too much energy in her body and she needed to sleep and digest it, it went directly into Ye Ning's right hand.

Looking at the graceful figure of Nie Xiaoqian on the back of his hand, Ye Ning let out a deep breath.

He had a great time fighting in this battle.

It was completely different from the petty fights he had been doing over the past year.

Especially after seriously injuring the Black Mountain Old Demon, Shi Wenwu deliberately restrained his strength and helped Ye Ning to evade the enemy while he took action.

Obviously, he must have seen that Ye Ning lacked experience in fighting such a strong enemy, so he did this.

With a big boss by his side, Ye Ning's attacks became bolder, and talismans that he had never tried before were activated one by one.

The characteristics of each talisman, what it is good at dealing with and where its flaws are all revealed when dealing with the Black Mountain Demon.

In terms of sword-wielding, the golden dragon does look crazy and cool, but in fact, its power is too dispersed, resulting in insufficient point attacks. The effect is not weak, but it is not very useful against powerful targets like the Black Mountain Demon.

After seeing Shi Wenwu's refined flying sword, Ye Ning also made some adjustments.

He was not a sword immortal, so he did not deliberately compress all his strength into the sword. He just compressed the hundred-meter golden dragon and finally concentrated all his strength into a several-meter-long golden dragon.

Although it is dozens of times smaller in size, its attack power has actually increased by nearly ten times!
Of course, as the size gets smaller, the attack range also gets smaller, and naturally the consumption is also less.

Generally speaking, this is naturally a huge improvement when facing a single enemy.

In addition to this, in the continuous outburst, Ye Ning's own Taoist power was also purified, the Taoist power became more and more pure, and his cultivation increased again.

What a hearty battle!
Looking at the motionless black hill in the underground space.

At this moment, the negative energy and ghost power in its body had almost been completely absorbed by Nie Xiaoqian, and the ghost of the Black Mountain Old Demon that was originally attached to it had been shattered.

"Master Xiaoye, although this old ghost itself is nothing, the Black Mountain from the underworld is still very good. After being condensed by the old ghost for so many years, it can become a very good magic weapon with a little refinement. What's more valuable is that if it is combined with some innate-level materials, there is even a chance to make it into a special innate spiritual treasure."

At this moment, Shi Wenwu had collected most of the swords, leaving only one sword that was carving something on the Black Mountain.

A minute later, Shi Wenwu waved the sword in his hand, and the last sword returned to the sheath. A golden light flashed above the black mountain, and then it instantly shrank to a size that could be held in one hand and fell into Shi Wenwu's hand.

Shi Wenwu put the sword box back into his body, and then came to Ye Ning holding the small black mountain. "Master Xiao Ye, I have received your spoils. I will go to the warehouse of the department to look for suitable materials. However, most of the people in my Demon Slayer Department are warmongers, and there are basically no talents in refining treasures. You can only rely on yourself to sacrifice it."

Looking at the Black Mountain in Shi Wenwu's hand, Ye Ning was a little surprised: "Ah, this is what we killed together, and you just give it to me now?"

"This old ghost was discovered by Lord Xiaoye. You also found its lair and killed it. Naturally, this is your trophy."

Having said that, Ye Ning could feel how powerful the opponent was. To be honest, with his strength, he could easily kill the opponent even without Ye Ning. Shi Wenwu said this simply to give the Black Mountain to himself.

Although I feel a little embarrassed, since he has said so, it would not be appropriate to refuse it.

Ye Ning thought for a moment and took the Black Mountain from Shi Wenwu: "Thank you very much."

After that, the two of them patrolled the entire underground space and then returned directly the same way.

There is no other living life in the underground cave except the Black Mountain Demon.

Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu only found a few dried corpses, which were obviously the people who were captured at the beginning.

Apparently they were not as lucky as the unconscious people who had been sent away earlier.

But overall it's okay.

The Black Mountain Demon was discovered almost immediately after he woke up, and did not cause any major harm.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the Black Mountain Old Demon’s strength is not at its peak.

If the Black Mountain Demon was given a few months or years to delay, the result would not be what it is now.

We can only blame the Black Mountain Old Demon for not choosing a good place to hide Lanruo Temple, and ended up right next to the capital.

If it goes to a more remote place, it might really be able to regain its dominance.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. Afterwards, Ye Ning and Shi Wenwu came out of the crypt. Shi Wenwu asked the four demon slayers who had set up the magic trap to go to the village. All the people who had been rescued were temporarily placed there. The four of them were responsible for waking those people up.

Wang Defa naturally followed them.

As for Ye Ning, he was taken back to the city by Shi Wenwu.

That is what was mentioned before, to inherit the position of Chief of the Demon-Slaying Department.

This incident was quite magical, but after Shi Wenwu's narration and everyone heard about Ye Ning's life experience, almost most of the senior executives expressed their willingness to accept the old master's last wish.

A few of them simply expressed neither support nor opposition.

According to Shi Wenwu, these people either received help from Lord Ye or believed in the old master.

So the ceremony went on almost completely without any twists and turns.

This made Ye Ning feel a little empty inside.

This is wrong!
Aren't there usually some situations in novels?

For example, a certain rich second-generation is not convinced or something like that.

But none of this happened.

The position of the chief of the Demon Slaying Division, which had been vacant for more than ten years, was inherited again, and the heir was none other than the son of Master Ye Tianshi, who had slain demons and monsters many years ago.

The news spread across the country at lightning speed.

Countless people are curious about what kind of person he is.

Unfortunately, since inheriting the position of Chief Director, Ye Ning has gone directly into seclusion, and all affairs are still handled by the four deputy chief directors.

Because they had never seen this director, many people even suspected whether this was a gimmick created by the Demon-Slaying Department itself.

However, the situation in the Demon-Slaying Division was special after all, so no one dared to say anything more.

Of course, most people don’t think there is anything fishy about it. After all, it was conferred personally by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

It's impossible that the emperor would also act with the Demon Slayer Bureau, right?

The day after Ye Ning took office as the head of the Demon-Slaying Department, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor.

When facing the emperor, he was still hesitating about how to salute, but the emperor just walked up to him and hugged him in a bear hug.

"Brother!"

My goodness, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, isn’t this the title of Tang Monk?
Of course, Ye Ning is not Tang Monk. The reason why the emperor calls him "Your Majesty's Brother" is naturally the masterpiece of his dead father.

When he was alive, he once saved the old emperor and the current emperor's then prince. At that time, the old emperor directly asked the emperor who was then the prince to worship Ye Ning's father as his godfather.

Ye Ning's dead father in this world is the emperor's adoptive father, so he is naturally the emperor's sworn brother, and is naturally called the emperor's younger brother.

The emperor naturally had no objection to Ye Ning's succession to the position of Chief of the Demon-Slaying Department, so he conferred the title on him the next day.

Everything went so smoothly.

After that, Ye Ning secluded himself for half a year, and when he appeared again, his strength had improved by a great deal.

Then the cleanup work began throughout the Tang Dynasty.

In the past few years, spiritual light has flickered everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of treasures have appeared in many places, and spiritual energy has increased crazily as if it were free of charge.

The entire Tang Dynasty seemed to begin evolving.

This also attracted countless demons and monsters to stop by.

In the process of constantly hunting down demons and monsters, Ye Ning harvested a large number of treasures and also gathered the materials that could be used for sacrifices with Heishan.

After accidentally meeting the heir of a weapon refining villa, the other party helped to transform Black Mountain into a special innate spiritual treasure.

【Yinshan Seal】.

The overall form is based on the legendary spiritual treasure [Fantian Seal]. Of course, it is much weaker than [Fantian Seal] and [Yinshan Seal], but it is an innate spiritual treasure after all, so it is naturally very powerful.

In the following years, Ye Ning traveled far and wide throughout the Tang Dynasty, constantly exorcising demons and monsters.

Gradually, the name of the demon-slaying master spread.

Several years later, Ye Ning began to move outside the Tang Dynasty.

Although Tang Dynasty is the strongest country, there are also some other countries around it.

Although new treasures did not appear everywhere like in the Tang Dynasty, some plagues and disasters caused by demons and monsters did occur because of the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

Wherever Ye Ning went, all these problems were solved.

Time passed quickly, Ye Ning's strength increased rapidly, and he was only one step away from becoming a flying fairy.

But this step left him somewhat confused.

Decades later, Nie Xiaoqian also woke up and absorbed most of the power of the Black Mountain Old Demon. She directly passed the level of the Ghost King and became a true ghost fairy.

It’s just that because it is a special way of ghost immortal, he did not ascend directly.

After becoming a ghost immortal, Ye Ning was able to have real contact with her, and the two naturally became a real human husband and ghost wife.

After traveling around the world for decades, Ye Ning finally understood the secret of the last step. After taking one step, he understood it.

The first calamity of this calamity for all living beings has finally ended at this moment.

And he also understood how all living beings survive the calamity.

Achieve enlightenment and ascend.

As the power in his body flowed, Ye Ning looked at Nie Xiaoqian beside him.

At this moment, there were traces of tears on her face.

As a ghost fairy, she has a special perception, and at this moment she sensed the special aura on Ye Ning's body.

She understood that Ye Ning's ascension was not simple, and she didn't know when they would meet again after this separation.

And Ye Ning naturally knew this.

He gently placed his hand on Nie Xiaoqian's face: "Xiaoqian, don't worry, I will find you back."

The next moment, Ye Ning's body turned into golden light and then disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant.

And the moment he disappeared, the whole world froze, and almost all movements of everyone stopped.

Only the great celestial master in the heavenly palace raised his head slightly at this moment, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly as he looked at the sky, as if he had done something that made him very happy! (End of this chapter)
