Imperial Demon Slayer Division

A faint light of lightning suddenly appeared on Gu Yan's left arm.

Under the restraint of Thunder Qi, the corpse poison was quickly refined completely, and then the wound gradually began to heal.

At the peak of the sea-viewing realm, coupled with the bonuses brought to Gu Yan by the two major body refining techniques, his physical recovery ability has been strengthened to the greatest extent.

At this moment, the zombie suddenly rushed out of the shop and roared at the full moon in the sky. The roar was deafening.

Then the sharp claws on both hands gradually grew to a foot long, and the sharp claws glowed with purple-black light.

At this time, the strength of this zombie has been strengthened to the greatest extent.

Gu Yan performed the seal technique with his hand, and the Five Thunder Curse fell from the sky, striking hard at the zombies.

Thunder is the best at restraining evil spirits. The zombie's eyes showed a hint of fear, and then rushed towards Gu Yan like lightning, avoiding the Five Thunder Curse.

Gu Yan looked at the zombie, his eyes narrowed slightly, he quickly pulled out the demon-slaying knife from his waist, and swept it towards the zombie's neck with an unparalleled water-cutting style.

Ding!

After a crisp sound, the zombie blocked the demon-slaying knife with its sharp claws filled with corpse poison.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yan's sword force changed instantly, and he made an extremely violent mountain-opening move, with the momentum of splitting the Huashan Mountain, and slashed hard at the zombie's claws.

After Gu Yan saw this zombie, his first thought was to capture it alive, and then take it directly back to the Demon Slaying Palace, activate the formation linking to the imperial capital, and directly ask Fang Ying to search for souls.

Although this zombie is not very intelligent, it still recognizes the places where it has been. As long as its memory can be read, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes can be found out.

At this time, Gu Yan's strength when he started had also strengthened a bit.

Pfft!

Ten sharp claws were cut off by Gu Yan with one blow, and the demon-slaying knife opened a deep scar visible on the zombie's chest.

Gu Yan's whole body flashed with lightning, and the Thundergod's Prison Suppression Body instantly opened. He wrapped his wrist around his wrist, twisted his elbow, and violently twisted off the zombie's right arm and threw it to the ground.

He didn't have a sun and moon ring on him, nor did he bring any tools to imprison evil spirits, so he simply disabled its limbs!

Let it become a human stick, no, a corpse stick!

Gu Yanzheng was about to continue taking action and unscrewed the remaining three limbs of the zombie in the same manner.

At this moment, a bolt of thunder and fire sword energy shot toward Gu Yan's heart like lightning.

The angle of this sword energy was very tricky, and Gu Yan had no choice but to dodge sideways.

When the person who made the move saw that the move missed, he immediately retreated thousands of miles away. At this time, the zombie also took the opportunity to turn into a black shadow and rush towards the distance.

Gu Yan glanced at the position where the man left, and after weighing the pros and cons, he used the Scorching Sun Zhuyun Jue and chased towards the zombie's location.

The reason why he didn't chase the person who made the move was because that person's strength was at the peak of the Five Realms. Whether Gu Yan could take it or not is another matter. If this person wanted to escape, Gu Yan wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

But that zombie is different. With the strength of the early stage of the Five Realms, even if it has wings, it can't escape from the palm of Gu Yan's hand.

The zombies couldn't escape much faster than Gu Yan, but they were caught up in just three breaths.

The demon-slaying knife in Gu Yan's hand burst out with an astonishing force. The sword's light pierced the air and slashed towards the zombie like an aurora. The zombie's left arm was cut off at the root.

Just when Gu Yan was about to continue cutting off its legs, the zombie suddenly jumped into a luxurious mansion.

Gu Yan, who was rushing towards this side, suddenly stopped. Looking at the gorgeous mansion in front of him, he could feel the extremely powerful aura coming from the mansion.

If this is the family of that mysterious force, then Gu Yan would be seeking death if he rushed in.

A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Yan's mind, and he sheathed the knife.

If this place belonged to the family of the mysterious force that refined it, it would never be like sinking into the sea without making any waves.

If this place wasn't the family that refined it, it would probably explode.

Gu Yan squinted his eyes, restrained his aura, and stood outside the courtyard wall, waiting quietly.

After a while, the deacon caught up with him panting.

Gu Yan looked at the deacon and asked

"You came just in time. Which family's house belongs to this place?"

The deacon raised his head and glanced, clasped his fists and said

"Sir, this is the Lu family's residence."

After hearing the deacon's words, Gu Yan's brows knitted together in an instant, and he thought to himself

"No wonder Lu Chuanyu reacted so strongly today. If the Lu family is the mastermind behind the scenes, then his reaction would make sense."

At this time, there was really no movement in the house.

Gu Yan stood there, a cold light flashed in his eyes, then hid it, and said to the deacon with a smile

"That zombie has been killed by me. Please take me to the Commander's Mansion first."

"Yes, my lord"

Gu Yan came to Jiangnan County for the first time, and he was unfamiliar with everyone here. The force dared to kill even the commander, and it was easy to bribe a deacon, so Gu Yan hid all his thoughts without leaking any details.

After arriving at the Commander's Mansion, Gu Yan directly asked the guards to take him to the practice room. After practicing in the mansion all night, Gu Yan left the Commander's Mansion early the next morning and walked to the Demon Slayer Division.

During the day, Jiangnan County was extremely prosperous. The streets were lined with shops, taverns, pawn shops, and banks. Gu Yan even saw several of the top chambers of commerce in the Great Qin Empire.

"If Xue'er can open a chamber of commerce here, I'm afraid the income will far exceed that of other counties."

"Master Gu? It's such a coincidence that I meet you again."

Lu Chuanyu's voice came from behind

Gu Yan turned around, looked at Lu Chuanyu with a smile and said

"Master Lu, are you leaving so early? Where are you going?"

Lu Chuanyu sighed and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Recently, my second uncle's voice in the clan has greatly increased. Due to his exclusion, there are many things within the clan that arrange for me to run errands, and there is nothing I can do about it."

When Gu Yan heard Lu Chuanyu's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled and said

"Master Lu, let's get busy first. It's my first day on the job and I have to get acquainted with my colleagues."

Lu Chuanyu nodded and went directly out of the city with a few guards.

Gu Yan glanced at his back and felt that something was wrong.

After Gu Yan arrived at the Demon Slayer Division, Lin Wu and others were already waiting in the main hall.

After Gu Yan walked into the hall, he said directly to Lin Xi

"Now go and hand over the command of the spies to Mr. Bai."

"Yes, my lord"

Lin Xi moved very quickly and completed the handover procedure in just half an hour.

After seeing Lin Xi come back, Gu Yan told everyone what happened last night.

After listening to Gu Yan's words, Lin Wu pondered for a moment and then said

"Sir, the Lu family is indeed highly suspicious of this matter, and meets all the conditions for being the mastermind behind this matter."

Gu Yan said to Lin Xi

"Lin Xi, go and select some shrewd and reliable spies to investigate the Lu family from beginning to end."

"Yes, my lord!"

Lin Xi walked out directly after receiving the order.

Gu Yan looked at Lin Xi's leaving figure and murmured

"Master Lu, please don't let me down."

Gu Yan was able to fight his way out of Guangshui Village back then only because Lu Chuanyu found the location of the formation.

Otherwise, just by himself, no matter how powerful he is, he will just be like the two demon slayers and die inside.

Therefore, Gu Yan does not hope that the Lu family is behind the scenes.
