C581 Taken
Southwest corner of Holy Region.
The clouds were low and the sky was dark without any light. An endless stretch of mountain range was faintly discernible.
This starlight was the Holy Region's border guard base.
After going through a strict examination, Qin Feng finally entered the city.
"Newbie, your cultivation is too weak. Just stay here and keep watch."
An old soldier was assigned a mission to Qin Feng.
Compared to patrolling soldier, Sentinel's mission was much simpler. He only needed to follow the movements of Demonic Wind Ridge.
And the patrolling soldier would leave the ancient city to explore its outer layer.
Although the Sentinel did not have any status, Qin Feng did not have any complaints, and stood guard on top of a watchtower.
Every guard tower would have two to three disciples taking turns. However, in Demonic Wind Ridge, there was no time to rest.
There were too few garrison s; one man, one pagoda.
"What a strong demonic energy, there can't really be a lone soul of the Demon Clan in the depths of Demonic Wind Ridge, right?"
Qin Feng was also secretly surprised.
Back then, he used Chi Wen's status to sweep through the Infernal domain and faced off against all the great Demon Clan s.
However, a demon aura as dense as this one was rare even in the Infernal domain.
"No wonder everyone is unwilling to come. This Demonic Wind Ridge is indeed extraordinary, just this aura is enough to scare away many people."
Qin Feng said to himself.
Even the disciples of the Holy Region were wary of the Demonic Wind Ridge, let alone the cultivator s of the Nine Star Continent.
Although this was a no-man's-land, not many people dared to cross it.
Thus, compared to the patrolling soldier, the life in the Sentinel was extremely boring.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and Demonic Wind Ridge was completely silent.
"Hello? New guy, you are called Qin Feng, right?
On this day, a veteran suddenly came to Qin Feng's sentry tower.
"Yes, it's me."
Qin Feng nodded.
"Call the troops from the battlefield, follow me."
The old soldier didn't say much and turned to leave.
"Divide up the troops? What happened? "
Qin Feng frowned.
This veteran's expression was somewhat serious, as if something had happened.
After a while, Qin Feng arrived at a hundred man square formation. In front of the square formation was a middle-aged man dressed in silver armour.
"Silver Holy Guard, the cultivation should be around the Primordial Spirit Level Three right?"
Looking at the silver-armored man, Qin Feng made a guess.
Right at that moment, the silver-armored man waved his hand, and said: "Bring it up."
Just as he finished speaking, a few disciples brought up three corpses.
The corpse was covered in a layer of black, looking extremely miserable.
Seeing these corpses, everyone also began to stir up a commotion, and sounds of people sucking in cold air could be heard.
"Isn't that Senior Martial Brother Zhao and the rest? "What the hell is going on?"
"Senior Martial Brother Zhao is a patrolling soldier, could it be that he is a lone soul of a Demon Clan?"
"There is still an extremely strong demonic energy remaining in their bodies. If it wasn't the Demon Clan's spiritual soul, who else could it be?"
Many people began to panic.
Qin Feng was also surprised, he quietly activated his Smart Eyes to check on the three corpses.
"No, it's not the so-called Demon Clan's Lone Soul. It should be the Demon Clan's doing."
Qin Feng quickly came to a conclusion.
Although these corpses had a strong demonic aura, they had obvious traces of processing.
It should be because the Demon Clan killed them, in order to conceal his demonic energy, she forced the devil energy into their bodies.
As for Qin Feng's Spiritual Force, it far exceeded that of an ordinary person's, so he could vaguely sense a trace of the demonic energy.
"Seems like the Demon Clan has infiltrated the Demonic Wind Ridge."
Qin Feng was secretly shocked.
"Just an hour ago, we discovered these three corpses. Whether it's the work of Demon Clan's lonely soul or the work of Demon Clan, we must investigate them thoroughly. Now, I want to reorganize the patrol team."
The silver-armored man suddenly said.
Many of them turned pale as they heard Dudian's words. They prayed in their hearts that Dudian wouldn't be chosen.
"The ones who read the names, are the next batch of patrolling soldier s."
silver-armored man took out a list and began to select people.
"First, Wu Liang."
"Second, Luo Xiao."
When these two names were called, the crowd burst into an uproar.
A pockmarked disciple and a short and fat disciple walked out of the crowd, trembling. Their faces were filled with fear.
Wu Liang and Luo Xiao, they had been doing their logistics work the entire time, and simply did not have the strength to become patrolling soldier.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the reason they were sent to Demonic Wind Ridge was to be cannon fodder.
The following disciples were also in a similar situation; their strength was simply not enough.
"The tenth, Qin Feng."
silver-armored man's eyes flashed as they circulated with spots of cold light.
"The newcomer?"
"He's only a Sentinel, right? With such a weak cultivation, going to the Demonic Wind Ridge would just be suicide. "
Many people were muttering in their hearts, somewhat sympathetic towards Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng, do you have any objections? Although you are a new here, but here, the new here doesn't have any privileges, so I will treat you equally. "
silver-armored man looked at Qin Feng coldly.
"No objections."
Qin Feng said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Although he did not know silver-armored man, his instincts told him that he was being targeted.
"Alright, patrol team, let's go now. In seven days, I want the results of the investigation."
The silver-armored man shouted coldly and turned to leave.
"Sigh, I'm dead this time."
The pockmarked disciple Wu Liang sighed.
"Our lives are in danger. We originally came here to gain merits, but now, we have failed. Our lives are gone."
The short and fat disciple Luo Xiao had a bitter smile on his face.
"Commander Yue is really too much. He used us as cannon fodder, he is simply inhumane."
"Shh …" Be careful not to let Commander Yue hear it. "
The other disciples were also complaining incessantly.
"Commander Yue? "What exactly is the background of this commander?"
Qin Feng suddenly asked.
"Bro, you're new here, it's normal that you don't know. He is a member of the Ancient Clan, and is known as the 'Fourth Master Yue'. Even if everyone has complaints, he would not dare to resist. "
The fat Luo Xiao said.
"Someone from the Yue Family?"
Qin Feng frowned, and immediately thought of Yue Zixiao.
He had only been in the Demonic Wind Ridge for half a month, and was only a small Sentinel.
If not for being targeted, this Commander Yue probably wouldn't even know who Qin Feng was.
Although Qin Feng did not mind taking a risk in Demonic Wind Ridge, he could not accept being played behind the scenes like this by Yue Zixiao.
"Yue Zixiao, I will remember this debt."
Qin Feng laughed coldly, a cold killing intent flashing past his eyes.0
