Chapter 245 The Wheel-Turning Demon Saint

The knocking at the door and the sound of Xiaobai enduring pain inside made Ye Ru hesitate. After a moment, he gritted his teeth:

"Let those people outside in."

"it is good."

Su Tongyao opened the door and was greeted by two middle-aged men dressed in black robes. They exuded a chilling aura, characteristic of those who used torture instruments. They then said:

"Is this Chief Ye's residence?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"Yes, do you need to see Young Master Ye Ru for something?"

Su Tongyao asked.

"No, I just sensed a fluctuation of demonic energy and came here to investigate. May I ask where Chief Ye is?"

The middle-aged man looked toward the closed study, then frowned and said.

"He is reading in his study, but Young Master Ye Ru said that no one is allowed to disturb him."

Su Tongyao pondered for a moment, her eyes flickering, and then spoke to the two people from the Hall of Punishments.

"Oh? Chief Ye is so diligent. But we are here on Lord Zhan's orders to conduct the inspection. We apologize for any offense caused."

The glint in Su Tongyao's eyes naturally caught the attention of the two members of the Punishment Hall. They clasped their hands in greeting, walked past Su Tongyao, and headed towards Ye Ru's study.

Su Tongyao's expression also changed. She had also felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling earlier, and the gourd that Grandpa Su had given her was also trembling, which made her vaguely guess some of the reasons.

However, she could not stop these two people from the Hall of Punishments, otherwise the consequences would be even more serious.

They watched as the two members of the Punishment Hall slowly walked towards the study. Finally, they stood in the study, took a deep breath, and just as they reached out their hands, the door opened automatically.

"What brings you two officials from the Hall of Punishments?"

What came into view was an extremely handsome young man, holding a photocopy of a classic book of saints, who looked up at the two people.

"Chief Ye, we sensed demonic energy in this direction earlier. We were ordered by Lord Zhan to come and search. Please do not blame us."

The two men from the Hall of Punishments were taken aback for a moment, then bowed and said...

"Please make yourself at home, gentlemen."

Ye Ru waved his hand, gesturing for them to enter. The two searched the room for a moment but found nothing of Xiao Bai and the others, so they withdrew again.

"Chief Ye has offended us greatly, so we will take our leave now."

After seeing the two off, Ye Ru's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately relaxed. He closed his eyes slightly, and a beam of light appeared, eventually landing in the hall.

Xiao Bai's entire body was now completely covered in demonic runes, making him look quite ferocious compared to before.

"This demonic relic is truly bizarre, what should we do..."

Ye Ru fell into thought. This demonic relic far exceeded Ye Ru and Xiao Bai's expectations. The power within it was so great. The previous encounter was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Bai and the demonic relic were absorbed into the Siku Quanshu, they would have been captured by now.

"Yes, I can try to see if the spirit of the zither can absorb it."

Seemingly recalling how the spirit of the zither had absorbed the spirit of the phoenix in flight, he immediately took out the Taihe Zither and summoned the spirit of the zither.

The Qin Soul at this moment is completely different from the one at the beginning. The Qin Soul is wearing armor, like an ancient general. After he appeared, he was also attracted by this demonic energy. Then he opened his mouth wide, like a whale swallowing, and actually began to absorb the demonic energy on Xiao Bai's body.

"It really works!"

Seeing this, Ye Ru felt relieved and began to concentrate on playing "Yunshui Chanxin".

As Ye Ru played, the spirit of the zither continuously absorbed the demonic energy within Xiao Bai's body. Finally, the spirit of the zither reached out and grabbed, and a weapon gradually materialized in his hand.

The weapon resembled a halberd, and it became increasingly solid over time. The demonic runes on Xiaobai's body gradually disappeared, leaving only one demonic rune between his eyebrows.

"Finally, all of this demonic energy has been completely absorbed. However, I never expected that the Soul of the Qin would transform this demonic energy into a demonic halberd."

This unexpected joy made Ye Ru grin. When the demonic energy completely disappeared, Xiao Bai closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep. The Shenzi Formation gradually lost its effect and finally turned into the Shenzi Treasure Book, returning to Ye Ru's Siku Quanshu.

Ye Ru quickly took Xiao Bai from the bed, wiped the sweat from his brow, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The crisis is over. It's time to attend the literary gathering. Tong Yao, take good care of Xiao Bai. You must not tell anyone outside about what happened today."

Ye Ru looked at Su Tongyao and then left. Su Tongyao wanted to say something to Ye Ru, but seeing that he left in a hurry, she took out the trembling gourd and put it in her bosom.

……

In the distant Demon Realm, a black world filled with palaces that exude an extremely terrifying and powerful energy.

This is the palace of the Wheel-Turning Demon Saint, one of the Eighteen Demon Saints. Inside the royal palace, there is a skull depicting demons.

Among them was a throne, upon which the Demon Saint sat with his eyes closed. As time passed, at a certain moment, his eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes had a strange quality, like shooting stars, containing the sun and moon, as if they possessed the ability to see through people's hearts.

"Su Wu, I sensed the mystery of my demon race's ascension to sainthood. You fought me that day and paid a huge price to seal me. Now, it's time for me to repay my debt."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted sharply:

"Rotation Army, listen to my command! Join forces with the Ghost Scholar to secretly infiltrate the Yanhuang Kingdom, find the Demon Reed, and bring it back. It must not be lost!"

"Yes!"

As King Yama's voice fell, dozens of orderly sounds came from the void, then gradually faded and disappeared.

While the demons were making their moves, Yingtian Academy was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. The most lively place among them was Yingtian Mansion, where Yingtian Academy was holding its celebrations.

At this time, Yingtian Prefecture was bustling with activity. Many teachers from the four major academies and some rising students were drinking and chatting. However, the teachers from Yingtian Academy had the most smiles on their faces. After all, the successful construction of the Five Tones Realm of Yaoge made them feel quite proud.

"Haha, gentlemen, the construction of the Five Tones Realm of Yingtian Academy is a great achievement, thanks to the hard work and collective wisdom of all the gentlemen in our academy. Today, we are holding this literary gathering to celebrate the successful construction of the Five Tones Realm."

Su Dashi stood in the main seat, raised his cup to the others, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"The one who contributed the most was that young scholar, so why didn't we see that young scholar Ye here today?"

A teacher from Yuzhang Academy looked around and said.

"He'll be there soon; how could this literary gathering be complete without him?"

Grand Scholar Su smiled slightly, as if sensing something, and gazed into the distance, saying with a smile:

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
