Who told you to slay demons like this?

The moment Lu Lingxian saw the letter, his face changed drastically. The writer of the letter was Lu family’s second sister, Lu Lingxue.

Lu Lingxian was extremely panicked. Lu Lingjue was his elder sister and had always been a very important person.

What happened to my sister?

At this time, Captain He had already pushed the door open and walked in. "General Lu, what do you want me to do?"

Lu Lingxian's hand holding the letter was shaking a little. He took a deep breath to calm his panicked heart.

"Captain He, something has happened at home, I must go back immediately."

"Rongnan City is in ruins now. It would be difficult for City Lord Xiang to defend it alone. The safety of Rongnan City is now in your hands..."

"The Qin family's two siblings are my best friends. I hope Captain He will take good care of them."

After Lu Lingxian gave some instructions and told Captain He to keep an eye out for the Heavenly Demon Alliance, he hurried away in his carriage.

Qin Xi was still unaware of the Lu family's mishap. For several days in a row, Qin Xi would come to the Demon Slaying Division and try to accept missions.

Participating in training is the task of preparing demon slayers. For someone with Qin Xi's strength at the Qi Entry Realm, he can accept the task on his own.

"Are there any demon-slaying missions recently?"

The Demon Slayer who was in charge of issuing missions saw Qin Xi every day and felt helpless.

"Master Lu is here, and the monster is not a fool. It would have run away long ago."

"Miss Qin, why don't you practice more martial arts first?"

Qin Xi was stunned and even speechless. If Master Lu stayed in Rongnan City all the time, wouldn't he never be able to kill monsters in his entire life?

Qin Xi walked out of the City Lord's Mansion somewhat helplessly. At this moment, a galloping horse carrying a bloody man came towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The man's body was covered in blood and he looked quite injured.

The moment he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the man seemed unable to hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

The runners guarding the city lord's mansion immediately surrounded them, and Qin Xi also went over to take a look out of curiosity.

The man was seriously injured. His entire right chest was hit by something extremely terrifying and was a bloody mess.

He was even hit by an arrow in the left chest, but perhaps it was because his heart was not injured that he was able to rush all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

The man took out the token tremblingly, "Gumang County, there is an evil spirit causing trouble in Goumang County."

"The evil spirits have sacrificed the people, and all the people in the city have turned into bones. I still hope, I still hope that the city lord will send troops to support us..."

It was daytime now, and the City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of the city, making it the busiest place.

The demon slayers and yamen runners who were coming in and out naturally gathered around him, and their expressions changed drastically when they heard the man's words.

The blood-stained token was handed to the yamen runner. The man seemed to be exhausted, with his eyes wide open, completely dead.

The yamen runner did not dare to delay and immediately reported the incident in Goumang County to the city lord Xiang Yandong.

It has been some time since Master Lu left. Although Rongnan City is far away from the capital and the news is lagging behind, some rumors have still been heard.

It is rumored that Lu Lingjue angrily denounced the emperor for his incompetence and the emperor was so angry that he stripped him of his official position, threw him into prison and became a prisoner.

There was an uproar in the court, and for a time, the political enemies of the Lu family wanted to add insult to injury and make it impossible for the Lu family to recover.

Naturally, many ministers begged for mercy for Lu Lingjue, but they were also thrown into prison by the furious emperor.

When Lu Lingxian learned of the incident, he immediately rode back at full speed.

Xiang Yandong and Captain He are both from the Lu family faction. When Xiang Yandong was a child, his entire family was killed by demons. It was the master of the Lu family who stepped forward, rescued Xiang Yandong, and brought him back to the Lu family.

Later, Xiang Yandong lived up to the Lu family's cultivation. He passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court.

Xiang Yandong is an upright person, so he would naturally not do anything ungrateful to the Lu family.

Captain He has followed the Lu family for many years, slaying demons and monsters on the front lines and guarding the four directions.

Upon hearing that Lu Lingjue was thrown into prison, both of them were in disbelief and panicked.

Just when the two were in great distress, such an inhumane thing happened in Goumang County.

Captain He made a prompt decision, "Lord Xiang, now that the Lu family is in trouble again, I am afraid that the demons will make a comeback again. I hope Lord Xiang will guard Rongnan City."

"The incident in Goumang County is too strange. I will go there in person to arrest the evil spirit!"

Lord Xiang knew the situation in Rongnan City. The past peace and tranquility was just an illusion. With the change in the Lu family, the beautiful bubble was shattered again.

Previously, most of the Eight-Eyed Demon King and the demons under his command were killed by the Demon Slaying Bureau, but there are still some remnants fleeing everywhere.

There are many evil spirits in the surrounding cities who are eyeing Rongnan City. Now is the best time.

If City Lord Xiang and Captain He join forces to defend Rongnan City, it will still be able to protect itself.

However, due to such a tragic incident in Goumang County, Rongnan City had to send troops to capture the demons, which resulted in an even greater shortage of manpower in the city.

Both of them had serious expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Soon, the Demon Slaying Division began to gather people. Qin Xi and Mo Zhanji, as warriors in the Qi Realm, naturally could not stay out of it.

Originally, Captain He planned to let Qin Xi and Mo Zhanji stay in Rongnan City due to Lu Lingxian's instructions.

After all, it is still unknown whether the demons will take the opportunity to wreak havoc in Rongnan City, and the incident in Goumang County is too strange. One might be afraid that if one is not careful, there will be no trace of the body left.

After receiving the order, Qin Xi was unwilling in his heart, "Captain He, I am willing to go to Goumang County and kill the evil spirits!"

Captain He wanted to refuse subconsciously. The situation in Goumang County was so strange that even he was not sure he could get away with it.

If Qin Xi was accidentally killed, how would he explain to General Xiao Lu?

However, the image of Qin Xi's brutality in killing the Eight-Eyed Demon King suddenly flashed through his mind.

Captain He looked at Qin Xi's determined, unyielding eyes, and said in a daze, "Okay, come with me!"

Captain He did not take most of the troops with him. Including Captain He, there were a total of three masters who had entered the Dan realm. Including Qin Xi, there were a total of twenty-one masters who had entered the Qi realm.

Most of them were soldiers under Captain He. Of course, Zhong He, Jian Suyu and Chen Xuxiu, who had performed brilliantly in this recruitment, also joined the team after seeing Qin Xi's self-recommendation.

The three of them naturally knew Captain He's identity, even though Lu Lingjue, the current head of the Lu family, had aroused the wrath of the Emperor and was thrown into prison.

But they knew very well that no matter how angry the emperor was, he would naturally be unable to do without Lu Lingjue when the demons attacked.

What's more, it is rumored in the world that the emperor can be replaced in turn, but the Lu family cannot be replaced at all.

If the Lu family is really pushed into a corner and leads troops in rebellion, the royal family will have no chance to perform.

If he could make some achievements in the Goumang County case and gain recognition from the Lu family, then he and his family would naturally rise rapidly.

The team rode on the magic horses and rushed to Goumang County.

Goumang County is at the southernmost part of Rongnan City, while Funing County is at the northernmost part of Rongnan City. Both are small border counties farthest from Rongnan City.

The original body had never been to Goumang County, and had never even heard of the name of Goumang County.

Fortunately, with the existence of the demon horse, we can arrive in about half a day.
