Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Although the courtyard that Chen Peng chose for Gu Yan was not as big as the Gu Mansion in Chunfeng County,

But it’s enough for a family of five to live in. Land in the imperial capital is very expensive, so it’s pretty good to have such a place.

next morning

Boom boom boom! ! !

There was a knock on the door of Gu Yan's new residence.

A young deacon sent Gu Yan a mission card, and the Demon Slayer Division acted vigorously and resolutely. The mission came the day after Gu Yan returned to the imperial capital, without giving Gu Yan any time to rest.

I opened the mission card and took a look. This mission is relatively easy. It mainly involves leading a group of newly passed demon-slayers to carry out a mission of slaying demons. He is only responsible for finishing.

After understanding the details of the mission, Gu Yan went directly to the Demon Slaying Department without any delay.

Ten demon slayers who had just passed the examination were already waiting for him.

Starting from this year, the company’s requirements for newly joined demon slayers will be less strict.

In the past, demon slayers just passed the examination and then began to perform tasks alone. Although the demon slayers trained in this way were all superior in combat power, their survival rate was too low, and some could not cope with the increasing number of demons.

Starting from this year, the newly joined demon slayers will first perform several group missions to get used to killing, and then they will disperse and face the demons alone.

Gu Yan looked at the ten young faces in front of him and was filled with emotion.

"Let me meet you, my name is Gu Yan, I am the leader of your mission this time. You should all be clear about your mission this time. The demon's strength will not exceed the ninth realm.

If it exceeds, then congratulations to you, I will personally kill them, but if it does not exceed, even if you are killed by the evil spirits, I will not take action, do you understand? "

Although that is what he said, if these newcomers are really unable to cope with it, then Gu Yan will definitely help. After all, the Demon Slayer Division needs more fresh blood.

Although these ten trainee demon slayers were immature, they were full of momentum and yelled one after another.

"clear"

Looking at these energetic newcomers, Gu Yan nodded and waved the riding crop in his hand.

"Set off"

A group of people rode in the direction of Yiling County

Yiling County is located in Dongguan County, east of the imperial capital. It is not very far away. You can arrive there in the evening if you leave in the morning.

Along the way, these newcomers looked excited, obviously looking forward to their first mission.

Among them, there was only one newcomer with a stern face who was very calm and carried a package on his back. He didn't say a word along the way and just followed Gu Yan quietly.

The most taboo thing for a demon slayer is to be too excited and lose his cool. This way it is easy to die in the evil trap. You must know that there are still many highly intelligent evil spirits like the Five Elements Evil Lord.

After nightfall, Gu Yan and his party successfully arrived in Yiling County

Gu Yan took the newlyweds straight to the county government office to learn about the situation.

After arriving at the county government office, Gu Yan was surprised to find that the door of the county government office was open and the house was brightly lit. The magistrate of Yiling County had been waiting for them.

Gu Yan has carried out so many missions for such a responsible county magistrate, but he has only seen this one so far. Based on this, this person is worthy of his parents' official status.

The magistrate of Yiling County saw that Gu Yan and his entourage had arrived as scheduled and hurriedly greeted them.

"I, Li Yun, dare to ask your name."

"Gu Yan, the Demon Slayer Division, these are the Demon Slayers responsible for this mission."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yan turned over and jumped off the horse. The newlyweds behind him also turned over and dismounted, with uniform movements.

Li Yun was not surprised that so many people came to this mission. It was obvious that he had known for a long time that the rules of the Demon Slayer Division had changed.

Li Yun didn't talk nonsense or get too close, and directly took Gu Yan and his party to see the deceased.

There were several corpses placed in the mortuary. Li Yun led them to the corpse of a young man and said

"This person is the deceased. On the night of the incident, this person was killed by an evil spirit at home. Fortunately, his family was not at home that night, otherwise it would have been another tragedy."

After Gu Yan glanced at the corpse, he pointed at the corpse and asked the newcomers in front of him

"Do you know what kind of evil spirit this person was killed by?"

One of the newcomers stood up and said

"Sir, this person's arms were scratched through. There are traces of fang bites on his neck. His complexion is blue and purple. It is obvious that his body is extremely short of blood. This person should have died at the hands of zombies."

Gu Yan nodded after listening to what he said. After the assessment, the Demon Slayer Division had taught these things in their training, so it was not surprising that they knew these things.

continue to ask

"Then can you tell what level of evil the murderer is?"

This question stumped everyone, and no one could answer it. At this time, the newcomer with a stern face stood up.

"Sir, the zombie that killed the person should be at the top of the Tenth Realm. If the evil evil that committed the murder was from the Ninth Realm, then this man was not the only one who died in Hujia Village that night. The reason why it only killed one person is that it was in a hurry to advance to the next level. "Nine Realms"

Gu Yan saw that this newcomer analyzed the situation very clearly, and his appreciation for him deepened.

"Do you know why the zombie doesn't kill others, but instead ventures into the village to kill him who lives in the middle of the village?"

This extremely calm newcomer was also stumped by Gu Yan and shook his head honestly.

"The reason why this zombie kills this person is because this zombie is this person's blood relative. A zombie can increase its strength the most by sucking the blood of its closest relatives. If it wants to advance to the Nine Realms safely and quickly, it can only suck the blood of its closest relatives." human blood”

The cold newcomer looked at Gu Yan with an expression of sudden realization and admiration.

"What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Lin Xi"

This person is very interesting. Not only does he have a calm temperament and a wide range of knowledge, he is also very good at flattering his boss, and this flattery is also very covert.

Gu Yan pointed at Lin Xi and said

"You are here to direct this zombie killing operation. If you need to prepare anything, I will give you half an hour."

It only took less than half an hour for the group to arrive at Hujia Village. After entering the village, Gu Yan disappeared and looked at Lin Xi in the dark, planning how to command this group of newcomers with little combat experience and jump over the ranks to kill the man. First Nine Realm Zombies

Before coming, Lin Xi asked Yiling County Magistrate for all the information about the dead man. He found out that the man's father had been doing business in other places, and his only relative in the village was his second uncle.

He also picked up some chains from the county government office and asked someone to go to the butcher's house to buy a bucket of black dog blood.

After entering the village, Lin Xi took nine demon slayers and went straight to the young man's second uncle's house.

Four demon slayers were hiding around the second uncle's house with iron chains, and one demon slayer was hiding on the roof with black dog blood.

The remaining four demon slayers were hiding around and keeping watch to prevent the zombie from escaping and injuring anyone.

Lin Xi hid in his second uncle's house

After all the demon slayers were in hiding, they quietly waited for the hour to come.

Zombies are different from other evil spirits. They like to be active most at midnight, when the moon is abundant and the Yin Qi between heaven and earth is at its strongest. Zombies at this time are stronger than usual.

At midnight, there was a sudden sound on the street

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The zombies are coming!
