I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 45 The Calamity of the Blood Lotus Cult

"What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and find someone to help collect the body!"

Qin Feng roared at Ji Lin and the county magistrate.

He was clearly taking his anger out on them. If he hadn't come to this godforsaken place to deal with all this mess, he wouldn't have lost two brothers.

"Yes, Your Excellency Inspector!" Ji Lin and the county magistrate bowed and said in unison.

Ji Lin could understand his feelings, after all, people came to help, and someone even died.

He remained largely unfazed by the insults, prioritizing dealing with the unusual situation.

Soon the two men summoned several soldiers, who collected the two corpses and took them back to the city.

"Junior brother, let's join forces and chop down all those scum up there. Let the brothers wait outside," Qin Feng said to Zhang Liang.

"Senior brother, let's find out more about these men in red before we make a move," Zhang Liang said.

"What? Scared? Want to investigate? How can you investigate without going in?"

"Do you really expect those useless idiots in the city to find out anything?"

Qin Feng pointed in the direction of Ji Lin and the others and said.

"When dealing with emergencies, people are bound to die."

"Don't think I'm stupid, just to make yourself look wise."

He snorted coldly and slowly walked forward.

"Your Excellency Inspector, may I use the insects in my hand to scout out the direction for you gentlemen?" Ji Lin said, bowing.

He hadn't intended to get involved in their affairs, but he felt he had to bring this up regardless of whether he adopted it or not.

Qin Feng's insults reminded him, lest someone die and he be blamed.

Even if we can't completely stop him from thinking that way, at least we won't vent all our anger on him alone.

"Huh? Are you questioning my decision? When did it become your place to speak?"

Qin Feng was still angry and glared fiercely at Ji Lin.

Ji Lin lowered his head, pretending not to see, and said, "Do whatever you want."

Seeing this, Zhang Liang felt that Ji Lin's words made sense, so he advised him again:

"Senior brother, he meant well. I think we can give this method a try. Even if it fails, we won't lose anything, right?"

He spoke gently, glanced at Ji Lin, and then looked at Qin Feng.

"Alright then, you guys explore the outside, I'll explore the inside." Qin Feng led the three of them straight ahead.

He didn't know why Zhang Liang trusted the kid in front of him so much.

All he knew was that if he was afraid in the face of unusual events, he would lose half his life.

Perhaps they were all frightened by what happened last night?

As long as it's not an unsolvable anomaly, he's confident he can get out alive.

Zhang Liang looked at Qin Feng and shook his head helplessly.

"I can't just stand by and watch him go through that maze alone. One more person means one more unit. Brothers, let's go."

He nodded to Ji Lin, then followed Qin Feng with the four people behind him.

"Your Excellency Inspector, take care!" Ji Lin said, bowing.

He has said what he needed to say. Whether they live or die is none of his business. Of course, it would be best if the matter could be resolved.

Just then, a member of the night patrol came to report:

"Young master, something has happened."

"According to the information we have gathered, the Li family has completely sided with an external force suspected to be the photo studio. The photo studio is an unknown assassin organization."

"Moreover, they engage in malicious competition against the Ji family in commercial and gray-market sectors."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin was immediately enraged.

That damned Li family, causing trouble at this critical juncture, why doesn't the Blood Lotus Sect deal with their whole family?

It's another dangerous organization. Including the Pseudo-Immortal Cult and the Worry-Free Cave, he probably has more enemies than a hornet's nest.

If the Blood Lotus Cult incident is not resolved, the situation will be far more serious than he imagined.

He will then immediately move with his family and night patrol team, and may even leave Huaiding Prefecture.

He watched Zhang Liang and the others walk away, and his heart tightened.

......

Zhang Liang once again entered the bewildering array of the man in red, his heart filled with trepidation, hoping this time he could find clues to break the array.

The group entered the maze, which was still shrouded in mist, and even in the daytime, it was dark inside.

Their footsteps became very heavy, producing a dull sound, seemingly different from what one would expect at night.

Zhang Liang watched as Qin Feng's figure began to blur, and the scene outside the city completely disappeared.

The maze was vast and boundless on all sides.

He had to quicken his pace to keep up with him, afraid of losing his way.

Qin Feng, who was walking at the front, looked up and saw dozens of women in red appear out of thin air and hover high in the sky.

"How come there are so many of these ghostly things??" Zhang Liang said in surprise, a strong sense of unease washing over him again.

"What did you say? Will their numbers change?" Qin Feng looked around.

"Could it be related to the number of people who came in?" Zhang Liang wondered.

He suddenly realized that Qin Feng might have a point. Would it be better if the two of them went in together?

My own caution has backfired, harming those who followed me in; now I'm in trouble.

"Brothers, pick up your weapons! If they dare to come, just chop them down, understand? If you're afraid to die, you'll definitely die!" Qin Feng shouted.

"Understood!!" they all replied in unison.

Dozens of red umbrellas began to slowly rotate in the air, their speed gradually increasing.

Dozens of women in red also drew a slender silver sword from their umbrellas.

"Swish swish!!"

Their figures flashed continuously as they launched an attack with incredible speed.

Countless figures swooped down from the sky, heading straight for the few people on the ground.

"kill!!"

Qin Feng gave a sharp shout, and the others responded to the challenge at the same time.

His Phantom Blade, combined with his Phantom Step, was used to its fullest potential.

In an instant, several figures materialized, and wherever the blades flashed, several women in red were chopped to pieces.

Zhang Liang also used his unique skills to continuously sweep away the red-clad woman flying towards Qin Feng from the other side.

The seven Demon Guards on the sidelines were struggling to withstand their attacks.

After one round of fighting, only a dozen or so women in red remained in the air.

Three of the seven demon-suppressing guards also sustained minor injuries.

"Senior brother, we must stop the rest." After saying that, Zhang Liang took to the air and slashed at the red figures.

Qin Feng also swiftly dispatched the remaining men in red with his knife.

"Quickly look for a woman in white. They'll be back soon." Zhang Liang's tone was somewhat urgent.

The group formed a circle and scanned their surroundings.

Qin Feng and Zhang Liang remained relatively calm, but the rest of the Demon Suppression Guards were quite frightened by the attack.

The three injured men were trembling all over, and the other four men, seeing this, were also sweating profusely and felt a chill run down their spines.

"The world is full of suffering, and life is hard. People freeze to death or starve to death, and no one cares."

"When the blood lotus blooms, warmth and sustenance come. The Holy Mother, who saves us from suffering, is here."

Time passed quickly, and as the songs began to play, they knew that these ghosts would appear again.

They still haven't found the woman in white.

"kill!"

"Poke, poke, poke!!"

Another round of fighting ensued, and two of the three injured became seriously wounded.

"Xiaozhong, Song Qiang, can you two hold on?" Zhang Liang asked.

"We can handle it, boss."

"Found it, it's there!!" one of the Awakened Ones exclaimed.

Everyone looked and saw a woman in yellow drifting in the distance.

Zhang Liang felt a chill run down his spine; things had changed again, unlike last time.

However, we can't worry about that now; let's kill that person first.

The group quickly rushed forward, with Qin Feng and Zhang Liang taking the lead.

The two attacked simultaneously, both heading towards the man in yellow.

The person vanished into thin air and suddenly reappeared behind the group.

"No!!!" Zhang Liang shouted hysterically.

The two heavily wounded Demon Guards were instantly killed by the woman in yellow, and then vanished into thin air.

"Never mind them for now, keep searching!!" Qin Feng kept a close eye on his surroundings.

At that moment, dozens of red figures were rushing towards them...
