Imperial Demon Slayer Division

When Gu Yan heard Zhang Ding's words, he looked up at him and found that his eyes were red, so he frowned and asked

"What's wrong, Commander Zhang? What happened in Coldong County?"

"Sir, all the people in Black Cloud City died overnight!"

Hearing the bad news about Black Cloud City, Gu Yan stood up suddenly and asked with a look of disbelief.

"What did you say? All the people in Black Cloud City died overnight? How did they die? But an evil spirit invaded Black Cloud City?"

Zhang Ding shook his head, his voice full of frustration.

"Sir, there are no evil spirits attacking the city. The people of Black Cloud City all died in their dreams."

Gu Yan frowned tightly when he heard that he died in his dream.

In the more than two thousand years since the establishment of the Demon Slayer Division, there has never been a case where people in a city died in their sleep.

Gu Yan walked out from behind the desk and said to Zhang Ding

"Let's go to Black Cloud City first and then talk about it."

Zhang Ding nodded vigorously, his face full of humiliation, and followed Gu Yan out of the hall.

Ever since he took charge of the Demon Slaying Department of Coldong County, he has always taken the lead, killing countless demons and keeping the people safe, but such a weird thing has never happened before.

If he was asked to fight against evil spirits, no matter how strong or weak the opponent was, even if it was a Third Realm Demon Lord like the Star Breaking Demon, he would still dare to charge forward with a knife in his hand without even blinking.

But now this kind of thing really stumps this hard-blooded man.

As soon as Gu Yan and Zhang Ding walked out of the Demon Slaying Hall, they met Qu Jiang, whose face was glowing red.

"grown ups"

Qu Jiang first bowed to Gu Yan, then looked at Zhang Ding in surprise and asked

"Commander Zhang? Why are you here?"

Zhang Ding and Qu Jiang have known each other for many years, and he sighed heavily and said

"Everyone in Black Cloud City is dying in their sleep. I'm here to ask Master Gu for help."

"What?! Died in a dream?!"

Although Qu Jiang joined the Demon Slayer Division many years before Gu Yan, this was the first time he heard of such a strange case.

Gu Yan waved his hand, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said

"Qujiang, go to the record library and check carefully to see if there has been any similar situation in the past. Even if it is a case where several people died in their dreams, you must take a detailed look."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Qu Jiang nodded solemnly, and then walked directly to the case library.

……

Gu Yan and Qu Jiang hurried along and soon arrived at Black Cloud City.

At this time, Black Cloud City has been completely sealed off by the Demon Slayer Division of Cold Winter County, and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

Gu Yan stood outside Heiyun City, looking at the group of crows falling on the city wall, his face became a little gloomy.

Now that Gu Yan is temporarily in charge of the Hanzhou Demon Slayer Division, he is also responsible for the deaths of the people of Black Cloud City.

The demon slayers who were under martial law quickly bowed and saluted when they saw their leader following a young man who exuded the aura of a superior.

"See your lord"

Gu Yan waved his hand casually, indicating to everyone that there was no need to be polite, and then walked directly into Black Cloud City.

After entering the city, Gu Yan came to the common people's house closest to the city gate.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ding quickly walked to the door. The long knife on his waist flashed with silver light, and the door bolt was cut off directly.

After Zhang Ding pushed the door open, he retreated behind Gu Yan

"My lord, please"

Gu Yan nodded slightly and walked into the room.

Everything in the room was neat and not cluttered

This shows that these people did not know that their death was about to happen before they fell asleep.

The two commoners lying on the bed looked very young, in their mid-twenties, with peaceful expressions, as if they had dreamed of beautiful things.

I don't feel anything about death

Gu Yan looked at the two couples on the bed and felt a little familiar.

Very similar to Yu Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the Yu family in Cangshui City back then, except that Yu Qingqing's expression was slightly painful.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan asked

"Commander Zhang, have you seen any ghosts in your Cold Winter County in recent years?"

After hearing Gu Yan's question, Zhang Ding lowered his head and thought for a while, then said

"Sir, a few years ago, there were murders by ghosts in the villages around Cold Winter County."

"How strong is that nightmare? Can you win it?"

Zhang Ding had a look of shame on his face and whispered:

"My subordinates are incompetent. When I arrived, the nightmare had already escaped."

Gu Yan nodded. The nightmare ghost that Zhang Ding could not catch must have extraordinary strength.

Although there are less than 10,000 people in Black Cloud City, only powerful nightmares can kill the entire city in one night.

The nightmare is a clue. Whether it is the murderer or not, just scan this line and you will know.

Gu Yan turned around and walked towards the door, saying at the same time

"Send an order to search the entire county for traces of the Nightmare Ghost. The Nightmare Ghost must be found within three days!"

"Yes, my lord"

……

This time, all the people in Black Cloud City were killed, which made Gu Yan extremely angry. Although he didn't show it, the entire Coldong County Demon Slayer Division could feel the strong sense of depression.

Under Gu Yan's pressure, all the spies, demon slayers, and demon slayer officers of the Demon Slayer Division of Cold Winter County were involved in the search. Not even the strong men who maintained stability were left behind, and they all joined in the search for the Nightmare Ghost. ranks

……

Night, Haishi

In a snowy mountain somewhere in Cold Winter County, a terrifying-looking nightmare was hiding in a cave, cursing angrily.

"These people from the Demon Slayer Department have a seizure in their heads? They are chasing me all over the world. They are crazy! I am not a natural talent."

At this moment, a red light suddenly exploded in the sky outside the cave, making the nightmare tremble violently.

The recent raids by the Demon Slayer Division have made Nightmare Ghost's nerves extremely sensitive, and he will become nervous at the slightest sign of disturbance.

Nightmare adjusted his sitting posture and muttered.

"What kind of wicked person sets off fireworks in the middle of the night to scare me? When the storm passes, I will eat up your soul."

After a cup of tea, Nightmare Ghost suddenly saw a tall, dark figure at the entrance of the cave.

The oppressive force emanating from that figure made Nightmare Ghost's heart beat fast.

Half of Gu Yan's face was revealed under the moonlight.

Half in darkness, half extremely handsome, but coupled with the ferocious smile on the corner of his mouth, it looks a bit eerie no matter how you look at it.

"You're pretty good at hiding."

If the Demon Slayer Division is determined to capture a certain demon, no demon can escape.

This nightmare ghost is the most powerful nightmare ghost in Winter County, and its strength has reached the peak of the Five Realms.

But when he saw Gu Yan for the first time, he felt like he was seeing a natural enemy. He was surrounded by black energy and was always ready to run away.

"Gu... Gu Yan..."

Gu Yan's reputation has now resounded throughout the entire demon clan.

Over the years in the Demon Slaying Division, he has led his strong men to fight against demons and evil spirits many times, and the number of demons and evil spirits he has killed has long reached a terrifying figure.

In terms of deterrence against the evil clan, Gu Yan is not weaker than some strong men in the Tongxuan Realm.

"How presumptuous! You can also call me by my first name?"

Gu Yan's energy exploded, locking the nightmare tightly.

"Nightmare, I want to ask you, did you kill the people in Black Cloud City?"
