An ordinary horse carriage drove out of Qingzhou City.
Inside the carriage, two people sat facing each other.
Jiang Chengyun gazed at the handsome young man, slowly taking out a messy breath from the silver bell: "Take it back."
"What is this?"
"One hundred and twenty-three condensed dan realm demon kings' auras, and seventeen embracing dan realm demon kings' auras. This is the total harvest of the demon catcher after coming to Qingzhou, one copy per person."
"Almost all of the demons and monsters in Qingzhou are gathered here."
Jiang Chengyun spat out a mouthful of turbid air, staring quietly at the mass of aura. Countless demon-catching people had lost their lives for this thing, including his own relatives and friends.
Only with this object in hand can they sense whether there are any demons invading the twelve counties at the first time.
"This is for you."
Jiang Chengyun took out a strand of extremely thin purple gas: "Xi Yue Yao Wang, as long as you feel even the slightest bit off, escape immediately. Whether or not you can survive depends on your luck."
"Yao Wang?" Shen Yi raised her eyes to look over.
"The fourth realm of the martial artist is called Hunyuan, or Wu Xian, while the fourth realm of the demon can be called Wang... Let me put it this way, if it can get within three feet of General Tong, without any unexpected events, the one who will definitely die on the spot is our General Tong."
Only within Qingzhou did Wu Xian have the capital to rival it.
Mentioning the name of Xiao Yue Yao Wang, a hint of fear flashed across Jiang Chengyun's eyes.
"So many monsters, where is the master of Qingzhou?"
Shen Yi withdrew the purple energy and stored it, along with the air mass, entirely within the silver bell. These things should have been taken out for some years now, and had been divided into many portions. They were far from being as closely connected as they were after swallowing the Jiao Dan, but still better than nothing.
"The twelve great generals and three Golden Bell Catching Demon People are all strong practitioners of the Embracing Elixir Realm."
"In the four surnames and six factions, there are probably two or three hidden, such as Qingfeng Mountain's Zu Jian, who just happened to be suppressed by the dark god. In fact, the Upper Bao Danjing Youjun also has the power of one battle."
"Besides that, there are about forty or fifty high-ranking officials who have been by the general's side for a long time, or veteran demon hunters with many years of experience."
As Jiang Chengyuan spoke, Shen Yi suddenly discovered that Qingzhou was not as calm as he had thought.
Isn't the difference in the number of strong players on both sides a bit too big?
Don't look at it and say that there are only a few dozen. This is a large state with tens of millions of people. On average, even a county has less than five top masters sitting in town.
In this case, why is the Congdan method being controlled so strictly?
Shen Yi's changing expression was taken in at a glance, and Jiang Chengyun smiled slightly: "Among demons, there are also different ethnic groups, and they're not as close-knit as you think. Stirring up trouble between them is one of the few pleasures of being a demon catcher. If we count the powerful families, it's actually a fairly evenly matched situation, but these people all have their own ulterior motives, and the Demon Hunting Bureau even has to spare some energy to keep an eye on them."
"It is precisely because of this that all those who can become a top-notch force have means similar to Zu Jian's."
"They used the Blood Oath Sword Pool to restrain the gatekeepers, and the Demon Subduing Department only needed to keep an eye on their leaders in order to easily control all the powerful individuals under them."
Jiang Chengyun's words also quietly awakened Shen Yi, in Qingzhou there is no stable promotion of Jingdan realm, but can exist without control.
"I have high hopes for you."
At the mention of this, a serious expression suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's honest face: "The general will be back soon. Whether it is a close follower or a deputy general, or the silver bell, they are enough to make him look at you with admiration. But these things were all given to you by others, and I know this better than you do. How did Jiaolong die? And how did the silver bell come into being?"
Generally speaking, achievements are not small, but compared with this identity, there is still a lot of water.
"After he comes back, let him think you are worthy of these titles."
Jiang Chengyun sat up straight, even though he had already considered the young man as an equal in his heart. However, due to the other's age and abilities, he couldn't help but let out a tone of preaching: "Rely on your own abilities, don't go seeking favors from those old seniors, earn back what belongs to you."
At these words, Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.
It seems that this person's attitude has changed a lot.
It's just a bit strange, as if it has been incorporated into some kind of plan.
"Of course, this also includes me."
Jiang Chengyun stretched out his palm and gently shook it: "This time I brought you to Yong'an City, just to let you get familiar with the process. As for me sharing your merits... this idea, it's best not to have it at all. Hope you can understand."
"But if you can do something on your own, as long as you're not afraid of losing your life, I won't restrain you."
Demon hunters are not the Demon-Slaying Department, there is no such thing as collective merit. Outside the city, they can be cooperative colleagues or rivals with opposing strengths.
I thought Shen Yi would be more or less disappointed.
But Jiang Chengyun did not see anything unusual on that clean face.
"I have no opinion, let's get down to business."
Shen Yi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, keeping herself in a state of full energy at all times.
The other party called themselves out through the bell, and they won't go shopping just because of this.
As for achievements and such... let's take it one step at a time. Even if I really can't get involved, helping out with some finishing touches shouldn't be a problem.
"You actually had such thoughts hidden away."
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Jiang Chengyun couldn't help but feel a little amused, wondering if he had been too eager in his attitude just now.
The other party is indeed outstanding among the younger generation, but I am a martial artist who has condensed my skills into a pill, and can make myself take action against evil spirits. Unexpectedly, the other party also wants to get a share of the pie.
He put away his thoughts and seriously introduced: "The demon catcher received the news, and the trial prepared by Mountain Lord for its cub has begun again."
"It is said that when a tiger gives birth to three cubs, one of them must be a leopard."
"These few beasts, taking the great city as their boundary, unfold their hunt, and it is to select the one that will be the king among them."
"Last time, they caught us off guard and left after eating and drinking their fill. The demon catcher spent a lot of effort to get the news this second time. Unlike last time, it's likely that they've set their sights on Yong'an City this time."
At this point, Jiang Chengyun's eyes flashed with a murderous intent: "Yong'an City has Ning Dan stationed there."
This can only prove one thing, after swallowing enough human body treasure medicine and going through many years of tempering, this group of tiger cubs have made no small progress in both their appetite and strength.
Even daring to put his mind on a martial artist in the Condensing Dan realm.
Shen Yi felt the carriage's bumps and said softly, "If it's as you say, this is Mountain Lord's trial for his juniors, then how did you get the news?"
"I don't know about that."
Jiang Chengyun also closed his eyes, but his tone became scorching: "Even if the news is false, it's worth going. You've just become a demon catcher and don't know how rare it is for such a daring demon to enter the twelve counties of Qingzhou."
The demon king of Qingzhou, either has a shocking way to save his life or has the natural barrier of Yangchun River to protect him.
Someone who rushes in like this and is caught off guard with advance information really can't be let off.
“……”
Shen Yi fell silent and pursed her lips.
The other party misunderstood his meaning.
He didn't question the authenticity of the message, but rather suspected its source.
