Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Mo Qingtian looked very young. He looked similar to Gu Yan. They both had the appearance of a young man.

Gu Yan sat on the chair in the room and said slowly

"Lord Mo, there is no need to salute. You are the magistrate of a city. You can beat the common people at will. You are more powerful than the former governor Xia Kong. I can't bear your great gift. Speaking of which, I should express my gratitude to you." It's only right that you salute, after all, I command thousands of demon slayers, but none of them are as majestic as you."

Gu Yan's strange words frightened Mo Qingtian so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his back was soaked. He could only explain with a forced smile.

"Sir, you misunderstood. I didn't really want to beat up the noisy common people. I just woke up suddenly and felt a little irritable."

Gu Yan touched the tea on the table and found that it was a little cold. He heated it with zhenqi, then took an unused teacup from the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and then said

"Tell me, what happened to those villages? Why wasn't it reported?"

After listening to Gu Yan's question, Mo Qingtian knew that the important point was coming. If he didn't answer well, the always strong commander might be able to kill him directly.

After all, he is not an insignificant person like a concierge, but a county official. What an official in this position does on a daily basis will directly affect the people's sense of belonging to the Qin Empire.

Mo Qingtian sighed and explained to Gu Yan

"Sir, it's not that the official is watching indifferently, but there is an evil spirit in the county that has been secretly sucking the blood of the people. During this time, dozens of families in the city have been sucked into mummies. The power of the yamen is really limited, the official Deploy all the forces in the county. Just now, you saw the police patrolling in the middle of the night, so you didn't find that those villages were being massacred by evil spirits.

Besides, even if it is discovered that there is an evil spirit attacking the village, the lower official would not dare to send out the forces within the county government. After all, there are only a few hundred people in a village, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in this county."

After hearing Mo Qingtian's words, a light flashed in Gu Yan's eyes, and then he calmly put down the cup and said lightly

"What happened to you? The county governor's office is responsible for the investigation. I am here today to investigate the case. Let me ask you, two Xuan-level demon-slayers in our company disappeared in Suiyun County. Do you have any conclusions? Did you hear the news?"

Mo Qingtian replied with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know. Has any demon slayer been here? I haven't received any news from you."

Gu Yan nodded, then stood up

"Mo Qingtian, please arrange for someone to take me to see the people who were sucked into mummies."

"Okay, okay, Master Gu, wait a moment, I'm going to find someone right now."

After Mo Qingtian finished speaking, he walked out quickly

Gu Yan sat on the chair and looked at his back with an inexplicable look. When Gu Yan asked the question just now, he noticed the loophole in Mo Qingtian's words.

When he was asked about the situation in those villages, Gu Yan didn't say what was going on in those villages. How did he know that evil spirits were massacring the villages?

Just as Gu Yan was thinking, Mo Qingtian walked in with a strong man wearing government uniforms.

"Sir, this person is Jiang Mengsheng, the county's arrest leader. He will lead you to check the bodies of the people."

After Mo Qingtian finished speaking, Gu Yan looked at Jiang Mengsheng who was aside. Feeling Gu Yan's oppressive gaze, Jiang Mengsheng quickly saluted.

"See Mr. Gu"

Gu Yan stared at him with a scrutinizing eye for a long time. Just when Jiang Mengsheng couldn't hold it any longer, he stood up and walked outside and said

"Lead the way, Mr. Jiang"

Jiang Mengsheng breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, Gu Yan looked at him as if he was looking at prey, which made his heart rise in his throat.

He hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way. A gust of evening wind blew by. Jiang Mengsheng felt a chill coming. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked without knowing it.

At this time, the sky was also slightly white, and there were people on the street who came out early to set up stalls.

After arriving at the county government yard where corpses were kept, Jiang Mengsheng stepped forward and gently opened the door, and said respectfully to Gu Yan

"Master Gu, this is where the mummies are stored."

Gu Yan stood with his hands behind his back, strolled into the courtyard, looked at several closed rooms in the courtyard, and said

"Open the door"

"Yes, my lord"

Jiang Mengsheng's body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was afraid of the corpse inside or what was going on, but he still walked forward and took out the key to open the door.

At this time, Gu Yan came up behind him silently like a ghost, put his head close to him, and said in a strange tone

"Are you afraid?"

Jiang Mengsheng was frightened by Gu Yan and trembled. The key in his hand fell to the ground. After realizing that he was a little embarrassed, he quickly picked up the key.

"Sir, there are dozens of mummies here. I'm just entering the body-forging realm for the first time, so it's normal to be afraid."

Gu Yan looked at him, chuckled, raised his hand, and a sword energy shot out from his palm, cutting off the door lock like tofu.

squeak!

The rotten wooden door slowly opened, revealing the horrific scene inside.

Dozens of mummies with weird postures were randomly placed in the room. The scene was so weird that it could scare ordinary people into insanity.

It's just that Gu Yan has never seen anything like a storm. Not to mention a few mummies, he has killed countless monsters no matter how terrifying they are. In his eyes, these are just childish things.

Gu Yan walked up to the mummies and looked at them carefully. After looking at several mummies, Gu Yan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

It's not that the appearance of the mummies is familiar, but the postures of these corpses are somewhat familiar.

These mummies seemed to be suddenly sucked into mummies during normal life and work, very much like the people of Guangshui Village at that time.

At this time, Lin Wu and others also walked in and checked the condition of the body.

Gu Yan said to Jiang Mengsheng who was standing at the door and looking at him.

"Captain Jiang, please go out first."

"Um"

After Jiang Mengsheng walked out, Gu Yan waved one hand and locked the door with a burst of energy, blocking the sound transmission.

"When I was on a mission in Guangshui Village, I discovered the same situation as these mummies. At that time, the villagers in Guangshui Village were sucked away by the formation set up by the Five Elements Evil Lord, and all their blood essence was sucked away. Now this situation has appeared here again. , it is estimated that the county has been enveloped by the formation."

Lin Wu frowned and asked after hearing this

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Continue to search and search the city to see if there are any formations."

Gu Yan has already learned from Lu Chuanyu how to break the formation in Guangshui Village. It's very simple. Find the hole of the formation and break it with force.

It's just that since someone has deployed the formation in the county, they will definitely hide the formation very well.

Gu Yan removed the zhenqi that enveloped the room, led Lin Wu and others out of the room, and said to Jiang Mengsheng who was guarding the door.

"Captain Jiang, could you please show me around the city?"
