Chapter 122: Black Stone Pool Sends a Message

  After confirming that Yong'an City had no more achievements to be earned, the remaining demon catchers quickly withdrew from this place.

  After five days of recuperation, Jiang Chengyun also slightly recovered his state.

  Deng Jianyuan had a carriage ready for him and accompanied by his family members, respectfully sent him off on the official road back to Qingzhou City.

  As he watched the carriage disappear into the distance, the old man turned around with a hint of melancholy. Compared to Jiang Chengyun who looked at him with contempt, he actually wanted to treat that young man better.

  Unfortunately, the other party left in a hurry, and by counting the days, they are probably already gone from Tingyang County.

  The border between the twelve counties of Qingzhou and the territory of the You tribe was not a clear-cut one.

  It is full of numerous "two-not-manage" zones.

  At this moment, a swift shadow suddenly darted down from the treetops in a dark and gloomy forest.

  A three-foot-long sword swept across at will, splashing up a handful of blood flowers.

  Shen Yi sheathed his sword and stepped over the head on the ground, beheading a Xiao Yao demon and gaining more than sixty years of demonic lifespan.

  "You don't have to do this, just want me to think that this dish is worth the price."

  Xiao Xiangwei changed into a simple blue shirt, washed off the thick makeup on her face, and no longer had the previous dusty flavor, only her delicate facial features still showed a hint of charm.

  She gave a speechless glance at the young man, this was already the third time on the road.

  Although he had done his utmost to conceal it, his disordered breathing still betrayed him.

  Xiao Xiangwei couldn't understand why the other party, who wasn't even injured, would also conceal their breath and deliberately follow behind him, without finding it troublesome...

  Shen Yi glanced at her, still showing no intention of withdrawing the Turtle Breathing Technique.

  Even if a mosquito is small, it's still meat. If you happen to meet someone who appreciates it, you might even get a bigger gain.

  It's just as well either way.

  This method was also learned from this group of demon catchers.

  "It's almost here."

  Xiao Xiangwei really didn't want to get any more blood on her body, so she took the initiative to walk over to the young man's side: "You may not have been to the Town Demon Department before. For a personal attendant like this, who is biased towards guarding the territory, there will almost never be any major demons present. It's not that they're afraid of them, but rather the demons they're watching are simply the overlord of one side, how could they allow other demons to set foot?"

  "Liu Bin's temper isn't very good, don't worry about it later, I'll just chat with him."

  "Uh-huh."

  Shen Yi nodded slightly, compared to the attendants and guards, he was more interested in the demons that were staring at this place.

  Xiao Xiangwei walked out of the dense forest with ease, and in front of her, a row of wooden buildings suddenly appeared. Several school officers wearing cloud-patterned ink robes were gathered around a bonfire to warm themselves up.

  She slowed down her pace and spoke out to remind everyone: "Following General Feng You's order, I came to deliver a message to General Liu Pian. Please report this to the others."

  Shen Yi thought that was the end of it, but what made him slightly surprised was that those several campus guards didn't even lift their heads and said in a low voice: "Catch demons? General Liu has an order, Hei Shi Tan does not receive demon catchers, leave."

  Such neat responses, it's obviously not the first time.

  Xiao Xiangwei's eyes turned cold: "Once you're ill, twice you go out, now General You invites me to come and says something about not seeing the demon catcher. Trouble replacing me to tell Liu Pianjiang that even relying on old age has its limits."

  Her tone was a few points sharper: "General You respects his age and treats him with courtesy, but don't forget the distinction between superior and inferior."

  Shen Yi stood with his hands hanging down, feeling somewhat perplexed in his heart.

  Even if the Demon-Slaying Department and the Monster-Capturing Division are not the same system, it's not like they don't even have a Jade Liquid Realm cultivator among their Inspectors, yet they dare to be so cold towards a Condensed Dan Realm monster-capturer. The Inspectors in Qingzhou City aren't this arrogant.

  Liu said, "Don't receive the demon catcher."

  Several campus guards slowly stood up, drew out the waist knives: "Of course, you have a high cultivation base, and you can also try to force your way through the Black Stone Pool, please go ahead."

  As the voice fell, three attendants led over a hundred school lieutenants out of the house, holding weapons in their hands and blocking the way with cold eyes.

  "Heishitang is a forbidden land, no visitor shall enter without General You's decree, those who trespass will be treated as demons!"

  Looking at the gleaming steel knives, Xiao Manzi finally smiled and walked forward: "I don't have any imperial edicts, only a letter to Liu Pianjiang, but... I'd like to see how you plan to treat me as a demon."

  Obviously, a demon catcher who has been with demons for many years also has an untouchable bottom line.

  Even the most powerful of them, a deputy general, was only at the Yu Ye Yuan Man boundary, but as they watched Xiao Xiang walk closer, there wasn't a hint of hesitation on their faces, and in an instant, they raised their long knives.

  This is the difference between being a close follower and an ordinary demon-suppressing officer.

  They only listen to one person's orders, and that is Liu Bin, who guards this place.

  In an instant, a cold and sharp steel spear burst through the air, piercing exactly three inches in front of Xiao Qianwei.

  A hoarse voice came from inside the house.

  "Liu has been garrisoning this place for many years, and you are the first one who dares to rush in."

  "You General Yu has something to ask of me, and yet you have other attendants bring the message. You're just a demon catcher, what qualifications do you have to interfere with the affairs of my Demon Vanquishing Department?"

  A tall and majestic figure emerged from the doorway, with white hair and a beard that reached down to his chest, and a golden dragon pattern on his collar.

  A black wolf's fur coat draped over his back, with a battle-hardened aura between his eyebrows and eyes.

  He walked calmly to the front of Xiao Qiangwei, pulled out the fine steel long gun, and looked down at the woman: "If you were in your prime, you would still have the qualifications to fight with me. Now that you are injured, don't lose your life."

  Xiao Tong tightly clenched her teeth, took out an envelope from the silver bell: "According to the rules, you have been absent from reporting for duty three times. General You has given you face and hasn't suspected that you are colluding with demons. You should at least take a look at this letter."

  "This old man's eyes are dim and he has no interest in reading letters from people of unknown identity, nor can he distinguish between what is true or false."

  Liu Bin slowly turned around and said in a cold voice: "Take your people and get out."

  This cold rebuke thoroughly tore off the facade, and more than a hundred town demon lieutenants simultaneously pointed their blades at Xiao Manman.

  The woman took a deep breath.

  She glanced sideways at the young man behind her: "You promised to escort me and deliver the secret letter to him, is that still on?"

  Shen Yi looked calmly at this group of constables from the Demon-Suppressing Department.

  He was uninterested in Liu Bin and also uninterested in the letter sent by Xiao Man, but he was very interested in colluding with demons.

  Unexpected gains from previous expectations actually fell on a group of colleagues.

  Shen Yi casually took a step forward and replied softly, "Counting."

  A simple conversation between the two, finally made that group of campus guards' faces change suddenly. They had not expected at all that the two demon catchers would actually dare to rush into the place guarded by the imperial escort?!

  In this place, Liu Bin bears all responsibilities and has the greatest power, fully representing Qingzhou Town Demon Court.

  "How dare you!"

  In the midst of loud rebukes, Liu Bin suddenly turned around, his sharp long spear thrusting out in anger. Xiao Xiangyu endured her pain and didn't slow down at all, easily avoiding the spearhead with a gentle movement, her palms carrying a thick momentum heavily slapping the long spear.

  The two of them actually used their full strength at the same time. They were clearly both people from the imperial court, yet as soon as they made a move, it was a fight to the death!

  Two forces converged on the tip of the steel spear, and Liu Bin took advantage of the situation, directly stabbing the deviated spearhead at the young man behind him!

  Silver light shines like a white dragon emerging from a valley, piercing one's eyes, sharp whistling sounds shake the ears and make them deaf!
