The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 61 Black Wind Mountains
“As for the intelligence of the entire territory, only a demon-suppressing master can view it.” Cui Fan said.

The Demon Suppressor can also lead a team to slay demons alone, but he is only responsible for rural towns.

However, his purpose in saying this was not to reject Li Hao. He changed the subject and said with a smile, "But you have come from afar and are eager to slay the demon. Naturally, I cannot refuse your request. Please follow me."

As he spoke, he led Li Hao and others into a side room of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

There were guards here, and Cui Fan was very familiar with them. He said hello and led a few people in.

There was a map hanging in the room, which was a geomancy map of Cangyu City, covering more than a dozen towns and numerous villages in the surrounding area.

Cui Fan took out a book from the shelf and turned to hand it to Li Hao.

"This is the record of demons slayed near our Cangyu City in the past six months. Take your time to look at it. After lunch, I will take you to patrol it in the afternoon..." Cui Fan said with a smile.

Li Hao opened the book and began to read it carefully.

Li Yuanzhao also curiously came over and watched carefully.

……

……

In a wealthy mansion on the outskirts of the city.

"Yan family, ten copper coins."

"Zhang, eight strings of copper coins."

A beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure leaned on the couch, slowly flipping through the account book, and said to the accountant beside her:
"This year, demons have been causing chaos and the tenant farmers have had a poor harvest. Please ask the master to exempt them from some taxes. They are suffering too much..."

The accountant was slightly startled, and lowered his head and said, "Madam, please be merciful. However, the business of each doorman is difficult this year. If the tax is reduced again, the income and expenditure of the mansion will shrink."

"We just need to be frugal and let the farmers have a good New Year." The beautiful woman said softly and gently.

Upon hearing this, the accountant nodded and said, "Then I'll go talk to the master later."

"Madam, you are pregnant. You must be tired after reading the account books all morning. It's time to rest."

Beside her, a pretty maid said with concern.

The beautiful woman gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes showing a bit more kindness and tenderness. She closed the account book, then with the help of her maid, she slowly stood up and returned to her bedroom.

"I'll go to the kitchen and bring you some snacks, madam." The maid helped the beautiful woman lie down on the bed and said obediently.

The beautiful woman nodded slightly.

As the maid left and the door closed, she stroked her belly and whispered to herself softly, "My child, the New Year is coming soon. Mother will be able to see you soon."

Her eyes were like water, filled with gentle expectation.

"Hehe, do you want to see me so much?"

Suddenly, a strange child's voice was heard from the quiet room, but it was quite sharp.

The beautiful woman came back to her senses from her thoughts, and couldn't help but open her eyes wide and look at her belly in surprise.

She heard it very clearly, the sound came from her belly which was eight months pregnant.

"you……"

Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw her belly suddenly bulge out, growing bigger and bigger, followed by waves of tearing pain.

With a "pop" sound, it suddenly burst from the belly button, but no blood spurted out. Instead, it was like an air bag bursting and quickly deflated.

A wet, bloody, skinny head slowly rose from the beautiful woman's belly, but behind the head was a strange, long, thin limb like a snake's tail, which looked like both a snake and a footless centipede, twisting gently.

Seeing this horrifying scene, even though the beautiful woman had a calm mind despite having managed the household for many years, she was frightened so much that she screamed and fainted on the spot.

"How hypocritical! Your child is already out, and you don't want to see him anymore."

The skinny head laughed strangely, and opened its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Then, it swam and climbed up to the upper body of the beautiful woman. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit the beautiful woman's head.

Then he swallowed its entire upper body, and his slender body began to swell up.

"Evil beast!!"

Suddenly, an angry voice sounded.

A golden light flashed by, and a slender figure passed through the wall and rushed directly into the room. The figure was graceful, and it was Song Yueyao.

"Ok?"

The monster that was eating the beautiful woman was startled, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly spat out the half-bitten woman. Then he swam away quickly like a poisonous snake, climbed through the window on the other side, trying to escape.

"Golden lock traps the dragon!"

Song Yueyao's face was cold and she made quick hand gestures.

In addition to being able to leave the body, the soul cannot cause physical harm, but it can use magical powers to specifically break some of the strange magic of monsters.

This golden lock that traps the dragon is a kind of blocking magical power, which belongs to the method of divine travel.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared and trapped the skinny monster like a poisonous snake inside, unable to escape.

Not long after, a sound of hurried footsteps came, and Song Yueyao's real body rushed out of the window, jumped down, and slashed at the monster in the golden light with a sword.

"Mercy..." the monster pleaded in panic.

But the sword was so sharp that it chopped off his head and it rolled to the ground.

Song Yueyao swung out two more swords, cutting off her body. Then she quickly moved to the bed in the room, only to see that the beautiful woman's face was bloody and showed signs of decay.

Looking at its abdomen again, it was empty and its internal organs had been eaten away.

It's too late... Her face changed and looked a little ugly. Although she had experience in killing demons, she was still angry. At this time, all the servants and maids in the mansion came over, as well as the master of the mansion, a middle-aged wealthy businessman in his forties.

Song Yueyao immediately asked the people accompanying her to seal off the room to prevent ordinary people from seeing it.

"You are the Demon Suppression Department?!"

The master of the mansion was well-informed and recognized the official uniform of Tian Congzhi at a glance. His face changed and he asked hurriedly, "Where is Lian'er? What happened to Lian'er?"

"There is a demon inside, please don't get close."

Tian Congzhi is a disciple of the Black Hall. His mission this time is to assist Song Yueyao in solving the case. He had already seen the tragic situation in the room and said in a deep voice.

"Where did this monster come from in my house? Do you have any misunderstanding? Let me see Lian'er!" The master pushed Tian Congzhi and said with gritted teeth.

Song Yueyao pushed the door open and walked out, having put away her sword. She glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Your wife is dead, killed by a monster. I killed the monster. You should bury her properly."

"Dead, dead?"

The master was so shocked that he was stunned, and then he pushed like a madman, trying to rush in.

Tian Congzhi couldn't attack ordinary people, so he could only try his best to stop them. Seeing this, Song Yueyao shook her head slightly at him, motioning him to move aside.

You have to see it eventually, after all, you have to bury it later.

The middle-aged man rushed into the room and immediately saw the tragic scene. He was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Song Yueyao said to Tian Congzhi, "You stay and take care of the aftermath. I'll go to the city guards."

"it is good."

Tian Congzhi agreed.

Before Song Yueyao left, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed her arm, his eyes red, and roared at her angrily:
"Why, why didn't you come earlier, why?!"

"Give me back my Lian'er, give me back my Lian'er!!"

Song Yueyao's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously struggled to break free. She swung her hand and knocked the middle-aged man to the ground.

The middle-aged man sat down with his buttocks, and did not pester her any more. He just grabbed his head in a state of collapse and burst into tears:
"She said that this was her first time being a mother and she had even thought of a name for her child. Why, why did you treat Lian'er like this? God, you are so unfair!!"

The wailing sound spread throughout the courtyard, and the servants and maids who were blocked outside the door also heard it and were all shocked.

Song Yueyao felt a trace of guilt in her heart. Looking at the middle-aged man who was almost insane, she knew that the other party would not listen to anything she said at this time. She just tightened the sword in her hand, turned around and left quickly without saying a word.

Yes, why can’t it be faster... She bit her thin lips slightly.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

Song Yueyao arrived quickly and acted swiftly.

"Mr. Yue, are you looking for me?"

Song Yueyao saw the city guard here, who was responsible for the safety of the entire Cangyu City.

Yue Shuhong is in his forties and has an elegant air. He looked at the woman running towards him and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He had reached the divine wandering realm at the age of just over 20, and it was close to perfection. This was the gap between the top evildoers and himself.

“Governor Song, thank you for your hard work. I asked you to slay the demon as soon as you arrived yesterday. Thanks to you, the whole town was spared from disaster.” Yue Shuhong chuckled.

Song Yueyao had just come out of the mansion. She was in a bad mood and said with a gloomy face, "It is the duty of warriors like us to eliminate demons. It's nothing. I wonder why Mr. Yue wants to see me?"

Yue Shuhong had been in a high position for a long time and knew many people. Seeing that the other party was not the kind of person who liked flattery, he immediately felt a good impression of him and his expression became serious:
"I believe Governor Song has read the recent demon-killing records in our city. In the past six months, demons have appeared frequently. About half a month ago, many demons gathered in the Black Wind Mountains a hundred miles east of the city. All the escort teams passing by met with accidents."

Yue Shuhong spread out a geomancy map of the entire territory on the table and pointed to a mountain range on the east side. "I sent people to investigate and sacrificed four demon-suppressing masters before I was able to find out some information."

At this point, he looked at Song Yueyao with a terribly serious look in his eyes: "Among these monsters, there is a big monster who wants to command the small monsters nearby and swallow up the entire Cangyu City!"

Song Yueyao was startled and her face suddenly changed. There were millions of people in Cangyu City. All of them were swallowed up? Did this monster want to massacre the city?

This kind of thing is not common even at the border.

"Then have you notified the Xia family?" Song Yueyao asked immediately.

The Xia family is one of the four great generals, and Qizhou is the big province they guard.

Yue Shuhong smiled bitterly and said, "I have been notified, but the Xia family seems to be fighting on another battlefield. They said that they will send people to clear out the monsters when they really attack us, so we should not make assumptions."

Song Yueyao's eyes flashed with anger, but she knew that the God General's Mansion was not something she could discuss. If what she said here was secretly passed on to the Xia family, it would be somewhat disadvantageous to Tan Palace. She asked, "So is this news true or false?"

Yue Shuhong's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Of course it is true."

Then he added: "But I'm not 100% sure, so...if possible, can you, Governor Song, come forward and ask the Xia family for help?"

Song Yueyao frowned. She was not familiar with the Yuecheng Guard and did not want to be used as a gun.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I am only a governor, so I may not be able to invite him. So, I will go and investigate the truth first."

Yue Shuhong seemed to have expected her to say that and nodded: "Okay, how about I go with you? There are big monsters in the Black Wind Mountains, it's too dangerous."

"No need, I'll just survey the edge." Song Yueyao said, and then took her leave.

Seeing the other party leave, Yue Shuhong stared for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.

……

Another place is in the Demon Suppression Division.

Li Hao has finished reading the recent records of demon slaying. In addition, he also saw some information about the traces of other monsters.

"Monsters gather in the Black Wind Mountains..." Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
