I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

The reason why Tang Zheng sent Ding Xisheng to seek the Taoist's opinion was just a formality.

Because he knew that with Dao Zun's personality, he would definitely not care too much about such mundane matters.

As for the final selection of the candidate, it will most likely be thrown back to the emperor to decide.

After listening to this, Yan Xiu stroked his chin and said calmly: "Since the emperor has a candidate in mind, then let's follow his majesty's wishes."

Yan Xiu didn't care who would be the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau, because all worldly things had no appeal to him at all.

No matter how attractive the position of Grand Commander is, can it be greater than the title of Taoist Master?

Ding Xisheng looked normal and just nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated Yan Xiu's answer.

I have followed the emperor for many years and have a better understanding of his thoughts.

Ever since he learned that his life span would be no more than a hundred years, Tang Zheng's mentality has gradually changed.

Not only did his previous calm demeanor disappear, but he also gradually became paranoid towards people and things.

He often lost his temper over seemingly insignificant matters, which made many ministers secretly complain.

But only Ding Xisheng knew all this, and the emperor was too anxious.

If he had a long life like an ordinary warrior, he would definitely not be so impatient for success.

At the table, Ding Xisheng drank cup after cup of wine.

Liu Xuanchu, who was pouring wine for him, saw that his teacher seemed to be drunk and tried to dissuade him from time to time.

It was not until more than half an hour later that Ding Xisheng's face turned red from drinking, and he finally got into the sedan chair going down the mountain with the help of Liu Xuanchu.

"I am sorry to bother you, Taoist. I will take my leave now."

After Liu Xuanchu settled Ding Xisheng, he bid farewell to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu nodded slightly, which was considered a response to him.

"Go back and take good care of him."

Liu Xuanchu bowed and took his drunken teacher down Dayuan Mountain.

...

More than a month passed, and the Demon Suppression Bureau was established.

Crown Prince Tang Yu took over the jade seal representing the Grand Commander and officially became the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division.

The Demon Suppression Division has one chief commander and ten deputy chief commanders.

They wore cloaks of four colors, which also represented their positions in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

They are dark blue, silver white, and gilded.

In addition, there is a red cloak that represents the position of deputy governor.

This cloak is not only used to distinguish the ranks of officials, but is also a rare protective item.

The number of people in the Demon Suppression Division is not about quantity but quality, there are only more than 3,000 people, all of whom are elites drawn from the Three Guards.

However, compared with the vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, the Demon Suppression Bureau with more than 3,000 people does seem a little stretched.

Originally, Tang Zheng planned to set the number of personnel in the Demon Suppression Bureau at 50,000.

However, after Ding Xisheng's investigation and advice, the emperor reduced the number to more than 3,000.

This is because these monsters are different from humans. Not only are they cunning by nature, but they also have thick skin and flesh.

Just a monster with the cultivation level equivalent to that of a top-three warrior can fight against a warrior in the innate realm without showing any signs of weakness, and even if it is defeated, it can escape calmly.

Even if they have the advantage of overwhelming numbers, if they encounter a tide of beasts, in the end they will probably only provide the monsters with a lot of flesh and blood food, allowing them to reach a higher level.

Although the number of people in the Demon Suppression Bureau is small, their overall strength is not only above the Three Guards, but their power is even more so. At the same time, they are also allowed to use some abnormal means beyond ordinary people.

When the news spread, the people of the Yuan Dynasty, who had suffered from monsters for a long time, began to look forward to the arrival of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Inside Fuzhen Temple.

Tang Yu, wearing a red cloak and with a sword hanging from his waist, came to the courtyard alone.

"Disciple has met Master."

Yan Xiu, who was comprehending the meaning of Tiandun Sword, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the voice.

"What's the matter?"

Tang Yu knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I have received urgent news from the spies of the Demon Suppression Division. Recently, some problems have occurred in Qianzhou, and I need my disciple to take charge in person."

"This is the first time I have taken action since I took over the position of the Demon Suppression Bureau, so I came here to say goodbye to Master."

The demon king in Qianzhou has been causing a lot of trouble recently, even alarming the emperor.

Therefore, Tang Zheng ordered the Demon Suppression Bureau to set off immediately to eradicate the Demon King and restore peace to the people.

"Demon King?"

Yan Xiu murmured.

This monster has only been around for a few years, and I don't know how to distinguish it.

Without waiting for Yan Xiu to ask, Tang Yu told the story.

"Yes, this is the result obtained by the Demon Suppression Bureau based on Lord Ding's investigation."

"The monsters that are equivalent to warriors from the Xiantian realm to the Tianyuan realm are collectively called great monsters, and the monsters that are equivalent to the Tiangang realm are called monster kings."

"As for whether there are monsters above the Monster King, it is still unknown. It is also possible that we have not discovered it."

"And the chaos in Qianzhou this time was caused by the monster king who started a beast tide."

Yan Xiu nodded upon hearing this.

Such a demon king would be able to escape even if several Tiangang realm masters joined forces if they were not careful.

This is the first time that the Demon Suppression Bureau has taken action, and the matter must be resolved perfectly to reassure the Emperor and the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

If something went wrong, it would be a big blow to the imperial power and rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

Tang Yu had other plans in mind when he came to bid farewell to Yan Xiu this time.

If he could successfully eliminate the demon king, then everyone would be happy.

But if something goes wrong, then the Master will need to take action.

Although Tang Yu did not say it explicitly, Yan Xiu roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Immediately, he lightly stroked it with his fingertips.

Suddenly, a ray of Sky-Escape Sword Intent attached to the weapon on Tang Yu's waist.

"If you are defeated, this sword power can kill the demon king."

Feeling the waves of energy coming from the weapon at his waist that made his heart surge, Tang Yu's originally troubled heart finally settled down.

"Disciple, thank you Master!"

With the treasure bestowed by his master as his trump card, he has the confidence that he can kill a small demon king, let alone a more powerful demon beast than the demon king.

After kowtowing several times respectfully, Tang Yu went down the mountain carrying the Tiandun sword intent.

Outside the gate of the capital city, there was an official road wide enough for five carriages to run side by side.

Tang Yu, wearing a scarlet cloak, led a group of demon-catching captains from the Demon Suppression Bureau and slowly left the capital amid the cheers of countless people.

In front of the mountain top.

Yan Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the bustling scene in the capital.

Qing'er stood beside him, with a hint of blue in her eyes.

During this period of time, Yan Xiu also taught Qing'er the art of qi-gazing.

In just a few days, Qing'er mastered the art of qigong.

"Qing'er, have you figured out anything?"

Qing'er blinked her eyes, hiding the blue light, and her face looked very solemn.

"In reply to Master, Qing'er saw that Senior Brother and the people from the Demon Suppression Division were in an unavoidable bloody disaster!"
