Chapter 65: There are many people who are just sitting there doing nothing. How to deal with them? Only by destroying them can we establish ourselves!
The night was hazy and the rain was pouring down.

Ruan Xiuxiu rode a horse alone and came to the Black Mountain Demon Hunting City.

But see,

In stark contrast to the solemnity of Wutong Mansion, the Black Mountain Demon Hunting Bureau in front of them was extremely dilapidated. Even the beams were covered with dust and no one cleaned them.

Logically speaking, in a major city, apart from the garrison, the most imposing place should be the Demon Hunting Department.

The results of it?
As the head of the eighth-rank Demon Hunting Division, Ruan Xiuxiu was able to smooth things over and come with him because Song Chaixin was the one guarding the place.

But since you are in this position, you should naturally be loyal to your duties.

What are the jobs of the Black Mountain City's Demon Hunting Department, those patrol officers, and the officials in the department?
Even the storefront is in disrepair, but no one cares!
She kicked the door open with a loud thump, and broke the several-pound iron door.

Suddenly, there was a loud 'boom' in the dark and rainy night!
"Who has nothing better to do than to come to the Demon Hunting Division and cause trouble?!"

There were shouting and cursing coming from inside.

Two yamen officials wearing demon-hunting uniforms walked out, rubbing their eyes and holding swords.

In a big city,

The Demon Hunting Department should have a deputy chief and two commanders, who should serve as silver-badged patrol officers of the Great Innate Realm to assist the chief and maintain order.

The rest, except for thirteen bronze-badged patrolmen who were on duty, could only be regarded as non-staff officials and were not included in the official rank.

Members of the Demon Hunting Division, even if they only wear a bronze badge of patrol order, are all ninth-rank officials. Logically speaking, they can even be on the same level as the heads of the outer city government offices.

But for some reason, in this huge Black Mountain Demon Hunting Bureau, there is not even a single demon hunting patrolman.

Looking at the two low-ranking officials guarding here.

There was already a chill in Ruan Xiuxiu's eyes.

There isn't even a single person with the ability to 'catch demons'.

If there is any disaster in the city, how should it be handled and who should be found to handle it?

"You are blind, look carefully to see who I am!" Ruan Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she stepped through the iron gate in one step, causing smoke and dust to mix with rain. The 'Yunluan' behind her had not yet been unsheathed, but it was already clanging!

Yunluan Mountain has obtained authentic Qi to nourish swords for a hundred years, and has become a treasure land in itself. It can continuously produce "Yunluan Sword Qi" from the Guanjian Forest to provide for disciples' practice.

Therefore, with the tacit consent of the Sword Master, Elder Guanjian even let his own closed disciple take the authentic sword that recognized her as its master and leave the mountain gate!

This is also why Song Chaixin said that with Ruan Xiuxiu's skills, she could beat four or five of them.

Considering his humble background, even though he was gifted, he could only have a chance of winning when he met the eldest lady of a great martial arts sect who had come out to train and was covered in treasures, he had to draw out all her trump cards one by one.

There is really no other good way!
"Wet behind the ears"

Just as the two demon-hunting officials reached the threshold, they saw that the door had been kicked open, revealing a petite girl who was so fierce that they were shocked.

The guy in front didn't control his mouth and was about to yell.

As a result, the yamen official behind him had sharp eyes. He saw through the rain and darkness that the girl was wearing an eighth-grade demon-hunting uniform and waving a glittering demon-hunting order. He was immediately frightened:
"The new head of the Demon Hunting Division?"

He was a little speechless, and before he could react, the girl had already drawn her sword and walked in with big strides, narrowing her eyes, her hair flying, and her tone was slightly cold:

"The city's Demon Hunting Division, according to the rules of the system, has a deputy Demon Hunting Division and two left and right commanders. One of them must take turns guarding to prevent any accidents."

"Even if the Director has not taken office, it cannot be neglected."

"even."

"There's not even a ninth-rank demon-hunting patrolman in sight!"

"I want to ask you two, where are they?"

The two clerks in the Demon Hunting Division let out an "ah" and lost all sleepiness:

"This this."

Ruan Xiuxiu sneered and said in a light tone:
"Tell me everything you know honestly. You two are low-ranking officials and this is a minor matter. I will forgive you for what you did."

"If there is even the slightest bit of fraud..."

"After I have reviewed the files of the past ten years, no, the past twenty years, and have found out the details of Black Mountain City, no one will be able to escape, and they will all be sent to the Demon Hunting Prison!"

"Now, take me to where the files of the Demon Hunting Department are kept, and explain everything to me along the way."

"Do you understand?"

Ruan Xiuxiu took two steps forward, holding both men in one hand and grabbing their collars like chickens, and lifted them up one by one.

The two clerks were so frightened that they dared not hide anything:

"My Lord, I will take you there right away."

"Ever since the last chief of the Demon Hunting Department resigned a few years ago, there has been no such thing as a deputy chief. It has always been the left and right commanders, with a nominal position in the Demon Hunting Department."

"Of these two, one is on good terms with the wealthy families and martial arts schools and lives outside, while the other is on friendly terms with demons and has long since stopped caring about the Demon Hunting Division."

"The dozen or so patrol officers originally had either surrendered to the two men, or were ostracized or killed. Is there any Demon Hunting Division left in Black Mountain City now?"

"It has long been in name only!"

The two men had been in Black Mountain City for more than ten years and were officials in the Demon Hunting Bureau. They knew very well that there were too many clues in the file.

Unless this young-looking lady from the Demon Hunting Department was a fool, she would definitely be able to notice something was going on.

Looking at her furious expression, you can tell that she is not the same as those people in the city.

So, if you tell the truth, maybe it will be alright, but if you don't tell the truth.
I'm afraid that the two of them will be the first to suffer!
only,
The two looked worriedly at the Lord Chief, who seemed to want to rectify the atmosphere and turn the bad times into good times, and they felt a little hesitant.

Everyone in Montenegro is in collusion with each other and are in cahoots with each other. The better ones just stand by and watch, minding their own business.

It's not that there were people who wanted to expose the "inside story" to the capital city.

But how did the previous head of the Demon Hunting Department die?

That was many years ago.

And
It seemed that there was no disturbance in the capital city because of this.

It seemed as if it was suppressed by some important person.

Even the eighth-rank Demon Hunting Chief ended up like this.

Not to mention other people?

The two men took Ruan Xiuxiu to the place where the files were recorded.

up there,
It describes in detail the events of the four demon houses in Black Mountain participating in the monthly 'Food Sharing Night' in Black Mountain City over the past twenty years.

The White Moon Fox absorbs 'essence';
The mountain-moving ape and the red-eyed ox drink 'blood and qi';
The one-horned deer eats 'longevity energy'.

In this world, most villages and towns are built around "big cities" and have a highly concentrated population density.

Even the remote Black Mountain City has a population of over a million.

In the four demon palaces, there are demons in disguise who practice qi gathering and practicing. Every month they open their internal organs to absorb the energy, but it only causes the loss of essence, energy, and lifespan of thousands of people, and it won't cause any big trouble.

After all, how many demons are there in a demon palace?
Those big demons that would easily devour a city and leave millions of corpses cannot be done even by the most powerful demons in the world, and there is no need to do that.

The cultivation of all things begins with 'gathering energy', just like people devour the blood and flesh of monsters to temper their foundation and extract diamond. When monsters are in the first and second steps, absorbing human energy is also the best way.

But in the end, they basically all ended up in the same place.

It is nothing more than absorbing and exhaling the essence of the sun and the moon, comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, in order to break through the mysterious gate between heaven and man and become a higher-level master with great supernatural powers.

Therefore, these low-level energy sources are no longer needed.

Otherwise, demons wouldn’t be living together in this world, and some even live in cities to experience the mortal world and avoid being exposed.

Human flesh,
It's not delicious.

They only 'take gas'.

But all things live on air.

If the Qi is taken away, the person's vitality will be severely damaged, and death will probably be not far away.

The files were turned page by page.

"In the 47th year of the Black Mountain Zhaoli era, the White Moon Fox Demon Mansion established the 'Spring Breeze Once' building. Every season, it absorbs the essence of a thousand people."

"In the fifty-fourth year of the Black Mountain Zhaoli era, the Mountain-Moving Ape and the Red-Eyed Bull Demon set up a 'slaughterhouse' and pretended to be butchers. Every 'meal distribution night', they slaughtered people for blood and qi to provide for their descendants' practice."

"In the fifty-seventh year of the Black Mountain Zhaoli era, the One-horned Deer Demon established a 'charity hall' specifically for treating illnesses and curing diseases for those over fifty. After receiving treatment, all of them would be radiant within three months, but after that, they would die of old age and become nothing more than skin and bones."

Looking at the shocking cases in the files, Ruan Xiuxiu became angry.

The more she read, the more she clenched her fists, and what made her even more angry was.
Compared to demons.

The human heart is even more terrifying!
In order to live a better life and have a smoother path of spiritual practice, you cooperate with demons?
Why, there is no Black Mountain Guard, no Demon Hunting Patrol, no Military Officer, or no great warriors or nobles in the inner city to take care of it? Is it because it is a thankless task?

But it is obvious that the wealth that leaks out from between the fingers of these people is enough for the ordinary people who are "shared" below to work for several or even dozens of years.

But even their little bit of 'tax' was not spared!

Since you collect taxes, you should be loyal to your duties.
these people.
What do you think of Da Zhao, who expelled evil spirits and established the Demon Hunting Bureau!
Clang, clang, clang! !

Tolerate?
She, Ruan Xiuxiu, is the master of the third step of Yunluan Mountain's true teachings. She is an unrivaled genius who has shared 50% of Yunluan Mountain's sword-fighting fate for sixty years!

The small Black Mountain cannot control a dragon like her!

In the ruined Demon Hunting Division, looking towards the tutelary fort.

At this moment, Ruan Xiuxiu drew out the Yunluan Sword.

As the head of the eighth-rank demon hunting department,
It is your duty to clean up the house!

Even if the left and right commanders are generally masters who have cast the Huangting, what can they do?

But can you defeat the sharpness of her sword?

The moon was dim at this moment and the rain was heavy.

From the mouths of the two demon hunting officials, I learned that we had arrived at the residence of the Left and Right Commanders.
The girl paced and walked out slowly.

With the sword in one hand, I will kill the disobedient ones!
She is going to clean up the scum in the Demon Hunting Department.
at the same time,

the other side,
The young red-clothed guard had a telepathic connection with her.

And
Do it harder!

[On a rainy night, you were in Black Mountain City, in the garrison, and learned the secrets of this city.]

[When the information was extracted from the mouths of two Vajra Realm fox demons of the 'White Moon Fox', one of the four demon palaces of Black Mountain. ]

[You summoned Xie Qiaoke, his blood boiling, his outer energy leaking out, and overnight, he took advantage of the rain and conquered three areas of land in the inner city.]

[The first stop is at the residence of Duan Tianqing, the eldest son of the Duan family, one of the two wealthy families in the inner city with a "great innate" in charge. You discovered that he was colluding with a fox demon, taking her as his concubine, and plundering servants all day long to provide him with "essence".]

[So, you punched and killed four fox demons, collected the demonic energy, and then took the "Sword to Kill the Evil", and in the name of "colluding with demons", you killed the heir of the Duan family with one sword! ]

[At the second stop, you enter the martial arts street and go to the home of Chang Sun Chi, the eldest disciple of Jianji Martial Arts School. You find him and an old ape and a strong bull, calling each other brothers, toasting each other, and watching the two monsters feasting and swallowing "blood and energy" with indifference.]

[So, in the bright lights, you put on the scarlet guarding robe, exerted the dragon and tiger external qi, and took Xie Qiaoke, a master of the free and easy realm, to kill the two monsters and kill Jianji's legacy to establish your prestige! ]

[At the third stop, you are at the home of Zhang Wuxin, the left commander of the Demon Hunting Division. You see a girl with blood splattered on her clothes. The sword in her hand clangs as she cuts off a human head and a deer head. She suddenly smiles.]

[Then, you walked forward and wiped the bloodstains off the woman's cheek with your own hands, and felt that the two of you were really in tune with each other.]

[This night, you will eliminate the three evils of Black Mountain.]

【Later, before dawn in the early morning.】

[Hang the fox head, ape head, ox head, deer head, as well as the head of Zhang Wuxin, the left commander of the Demon Hunting Division, Duan Tianqing, the eldest son of the Duan family, and Chang Sun Chi, the master of the Jianji Martial Arts School, in the Military City Department to inform Black Mountain! ]

After the new garrison commander Song Chaixin left.

He hurried back to the outer city government office overnight.

When he told the outer city's chief Chen Zhao about the suspected 'demon' in the new town but also about the demon-slaying mission, he told the outer city's chief Chen Zhao about everything.

The lame great genius was greatly surprised:

"It is impossible for a demon to guard the city. The government is not stupid and will not approve of it. However..."

"and many more!"

suddenly,
Chen Zhao recalled a piece of news that was circulated throughout the Wutong Mansion a year ago.

In Wutong Mansion, there was a powerful family that accepted the tainted blood of a half-demon.

at first,

That man was looked down upon, despised and subjected to constant ridicule.

But as he joined the Demon Hunting Division, he killed the river god in 600 miles, cut off the tail of the dragon in Qinjian Pavilion, cleared out the demons and evil spirits, and made many meritorious deeds. Even his fame spread to Black Mountain!

Subsequently,

Even as a 'half-demon', he won the first place in the entire Wutong Mansion's examination!
Logically, the leader is eligible for an exceptional promotion to the rank of 'Seventh Rank Guardian', and this position in Heishan happens to be vacant. Considering the time, could it be that?

Chen Zhao's mind was in a whirlwind for a moment. He raised his head slightly, which had been lowered, and glanced sideways at the "Si Shou Knife" hanging on the wall.

Most of the seventh-rank guards are in the Free and Easy Realm.

But Xiaoyao Realm is, after all, only the second step, and there is a huge gap between it and the third step, Yuandan, which is like a chasm.

But throughout the ages, those who have been able to win the championship,
Almost half out of ten can cross this threshold!
These people often have extremely deep backgrounds.

And if the origin of this new guard is really like this,

Is it possible?
Does he want to take charge of the government, rectify the government, and take the entire Black Mountain City into his hands?
"You said that he personally killed two charming 'White Moon Foxes' Xiantian?" Chen Zhao limped, took down the Si Shou knife on the wall, and pulled out a piece.

"Absolutely true!"

Zheng Zizhen's eyes lit up slightly.

"And, sir, if my guess is correct, the new demon guard may have gone to pick a fight with the local tyrants such as the Demon Hunting Division, the Duan Family, and the Jianji Martial Arts School!"

"Stupid. Even if he has the will and confidence to do something, he is just a King Kong after all. How can he alert the enemy?" Chen Zhao was shocked.

"The first two are fine, but Jianji Martial Arts School is an authentic branch. It should be more powerful than the family behind the guardian."

"He slays demons and monsters, but we can't just kill him with one blow."

"Hurry up and help me put on my clothes and prepare my horse, and take a few servants with me to go into the inner city."

Chen Zhao picked up the knife and stood up hurriedly.

At this moment, he regretted not having a heart-to-heart talk with the new town guard.

Sometimes, the aspirations of young people can really break through the sky.

I don't know if I can intercept one or two of them and then call that person back and take my time.

after all,

Let a half-demon rule.

At least, it is much better than the chaos of demons!
but.
Even Chen Zhao did not expect this.

This new grandfather
How courageous he is!

The sky is bright.

The chief officer Chen Zhao, along with Zheng Zizhen and a group of other officers, hurried to the inner city.

As soon as you enter the inner city, you will be greeted by the Bingma City Commander.

This force that controls the 'Three Hundred Warriors' is almost connected to the inner city wall.

however,
When Chen Zhao saw the string of human and demon heads hanging on the city wall.

A young figure in red clothes, with a golden glow on his body, an old servant holding a sword and a young girl as his attendant, was sitting in front of the city gate.
He was stunned.

at the same time,

Smoke and dust billowed.

The sound of horse hooves splashing in the distance startled waves of rain.

Rows of Black Mountain warriors, armed with sharp weapons and filled with a murderous aura, were dispatched and rushed over!

Standing between the inner and outer city,

He transformed the 'demon hunting' energy into the main cultivation energy. At this time, overnight, he had already cultivated a perfect outer Qi, the Scarlet Cloth Guardian.

He opened his eyes, behaved calmly, and said:
"coming."

Then, he took out a round 'Danshen Tiger Tendon Pill' and swallowed it into his stomach!
In an instant, as if a dragon was swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, streams of pure essence, along with a layer of 'external energy' covering his skin, all came in from the outside!

As the qi enters the abdomen, it turns into internal qi that lingers around!

Inside Song Chaixin's chest, there was a sound as if from a tiger's roar, which became real!

Then a shout came out, like the wind blowing into one's arms, like the roar of a tiger, and it spread a hundred feet away, the sound like thunder:

"Liang Longwei, the commander of the military department"

"Why are you leading troops to rebel against Dazhao?!"
