Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gu Yan looked at Lin Xi, whose eyes were a little red, and said

"I know you are unhappy, so I will give you a chance. Send someone to notify all the martial arts sects in the county, and in seven days, a meeting to punish evil will be held in the company.

I want to lead the masters in the department to wipe out the evil spirits in the entire Yinshan County, so that this place will become the eternal pain of the evil evil people. I also tell them that those who fail to do so will be punished for colluding with the evil spirits."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Lin Xi nodded vigorously, and then strode out of the Demon Slayer Palace.

Lin Wu looked at his stubborn back and shook his head.

"This kid, why did his rebellious phase come so late?"

Gu Yan sat behind the desk and smiled.

"This group of demon-slayers have had too few brushes with death. They are still too immature. They will get better after a while."

Compared with Lin Xi's group and Gu Yan's group, there is indeed a big gap.

When Lin Xi and his group first joined the Demon Slaying Division, they encountered system reforms. When performing tasks, they had seniors in the division guarding them in secret, so they didn't have to worry about life or death at all.

As for Gu Yan and his group, they encountered the years when the Demon Slayer Division was under the greatest pressure. During the same period, less than one-tenth of those Demon Slayers had died.

So in comparison, Gu Yan and others are more mature, but the price of this maturity is too high.

Gu Yan looked at Lin Wu and said

"In recent times, it is estimated that no evil spirit has dared to show up. I think you are about to enter the late stage of spiritual cultivation. Practice well during this period. We will take revenge in seven days."

Lin Wu nodded, left the hall directly, and went back to practice in seclusion.

With his talent, he should have entered the late stage of the Soul Cultivation Realm long ago, but during this period Gu Yan was often running around. As soon as Gu Yan left, he would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the entire department, and his cultivation level also dropped. Quite a few

Now after this bloody battle, the bottleneck has been loosened. Gu Yan directly gave him a seven-day holiday and asked him to go back and make a breakthrough.

After Lin Wu left, Gu Yan gave a few instructions to the deacon next to him, then left the Demon Slayer Division and walked to the Commander's Mansion.

When the people along the way saw Gu Yan, they all saluted him. They all knew that Gu Yan led the demon slayer and used his life to delay the matter for them. Therefore, the people in the whole city were sincerely grateful to Gu Yan.

A middle-aged woman came to Gu Yan with an old hen and directly stuffed the old hen into Gu Yan's hand.

"Master Gu, I have raised this old hen for many years. You can go back and make some soup to replenish your body."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she left directly without waiting for Gu Yan to speak.

The people on the side also held what they had in their hands and gathered around Gu Yan.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yan quickly released a gentle burst of Qi, pushed away the people, and said loudly

"Folks, as the commander of a county, I do all my duties. Please don't do this, folks. I will accept this chicken. Please take the rest back with you, folks."

As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, he quickly transported Feiyun Zhurijue and disappeared into the crowd.

After returning to the Commander's Mansion, Gu Yan casually threw the old hen to the guard.

"Let the kitchen stew this chicken and replenish it for the brothers."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he walked to the practice room.

Sikong Xue, who was sitting in the yard waiting, rushed over after hearing Gu Yan's voice and hugged Gu Yan

Just as Gu Yan was about to push her away, he suddenly heard a sobbing sound. He stretched out his hand and gently lifted Sikong Xue's face, revealing the tear-stained face.

Sikong Xue's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked at Gu Yan choked up and speechless.

Gu Yan sighed and rubbed her little head. After a while, Sikong Xue recovered and said

"Brother, please don't do this again, okay?"

Gu Yan pushed her away, put his hands on Sikong Xue's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously

"Xue'er, what happened today is an unavoidable fate for the officials of the Demon Slaying Department. As the bulwark of the human race, we naturally have to stand up at the most dangerous time and stand in front of the people to protect them."

Sikong Xue shook off Gu Yan's hands, and the tears she had just controlled burst out again.

"Although they are the common people of the Great Qin Empire, in the face of evil spirits, they can only be used as blood food. You are different. You are the new star of the Demon Slaying Division. You are guarding a place at a young age. You can be said to be a figure like a feudal official. You Why should you sacrifice your life for them?"

When Gu Yan heard Sikong Xue's words, he frowned and looked at her.

"Is that what you think?"

Sikong Xue wiped her tears, looked directly into Gu Yan's eyes, and nodded vigorously.

In Sikong Xue's heart, Gu Yan is everything. Whether she is selfish or ruthless, she just cares about Gu Yan.

Let alone the people of a county, even the people of a state are not as important to her as Gu Yan

Gu Yan turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said quietly

"They are indeed just ordinary people. They have never fought evil spirits, never been on the battlefield, and few of them are even literate.

But if the human race is compared to a tree, then they are the roots. If a tree wants to grow into a towering tree, it cannot do without them. Only when the roots are developed can the branches and leaves become luxuriant."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he walked straight to the training room.

After this battle, Gu Yan also sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

After entering the training room, Gu Yan sealed the stone door with his true energy, came to sit cross-legged on the futon, cast the meditation spell, adjusted his own state, and brought himself into a perfect state.

Half an hour later, Gu Yan picked up the Tianyuan Pill and swallowed it. The true energy in his body surged like a rushing river, and the waves of true energy continued to wash away the bottleneck.

Gu Yan's aura gradually increased.

Three days later, the aura in the training room became stronger and stronger. Gu Yan finally reached the peak of the Sea Viewing Realm, and was only one step away from the Moving Mountain Realm.

In troubled times, only when you are strong can you protect the people you care about. Gu Yan has deeply remembered this truth in his heart since Zecheng was destroyed.

There are still four days left before the date set by Gu Yan. During this period, Gu Yan has been practicing indoor retreat, seizing all the time to improve his cultivation.

Seven days later, Gu Yan was released from seclusion. Now his aura is extremely powerful, no weaker than Chen Guixu.

If he encounters that eight-armed monster again, Gu Yan can kill it directly without using the Dongxuan Yushu Thunderbolt Curse.

At this time, a guard came over quickly, bowed to Gu Yan, and said

"Sir, someone is coming from the imperial capital."

Gu Yan frowned slightly. The only people he knew well in the imperial capital were Lin Wu, but they all followed him to Yinshan County.

There is only one Chen Peng left, but if Chen Peng wants to take charge of the Demon Slayer Division in Dongcheng, he can't escape easily. Who could it be?

Gu Yan flashed and came outside the commander's house. He saw an old man with a white face and no beard, dragging a jade plate and looking at him with a smile.

"You must be Mr. Gu. You are indeed a young hero. As soon as our family entered Yinshan County, we heard the people in the city praising Mr. Gu."

Gu Yan looked at his father-in-law in front of him, felt the powerful aura in his body, smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said

"My father-in-law, I'm sorry. These are all Gu Yan's duties. I haven't asked my father-in-law for his name yet."

The old man chuckled lightly and handed the jade plate in his hand to Gu Yan.

"Our Chencang, Mr. Gu, you made the first contribution in the case of Hong Xingqing betraying the human race. This is the Spirit Control Armor and Barrier-Breaking Pill given to you by His Majesty."

Gu Yan quickly took the jade plate and said

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

After saying that, he took out a bottle of top-quality elixir obtained from the Hongding Chamber of Commerce and secretly handed it to Chen Cang.

"I have troubled Eunuch Chen to make this trip. In the future, I hope that Eunuch Chen will speak kindly to Gu Yan in front of His Majesty. Gu Yan will definitely not forget the benefits of my father-in-law."

Chen Cang calmly took the elixir and felt the terrifying energy contained in the elixir in the jade bottle. His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. A loyal minister and good general like Mr. Gu should have come into His Majesty's sight long ago."

......

After Gu Yan sent Chen Cang away, he squinted at his back. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. Then he took a step forward and went directly to the Demon Slaying Hall and said to the deacon beside him.

"Call Lin Wu here"
