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

Yan Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

Just now, he used the art of looking at qi to check on Tang Yu and other people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and found that there was a thick and black blood energy lingering above their heads.

In fortune-telling, this is a very bad omen that means certain death.

If nothing unexpected happens, many people will probably die on this trip to Qianzhou to eliminate the monster.

"Brother, I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous for you to go to Qianzhou to exorcise the monsters this time. Master, can't you help them?"

There was a strong sense of worry in Qing'er's tone.

She was not worried about Tang Yu's safety, but felt that as long as her master took action, these meaningless casualties could be avoided.

Yan Xiu shook his head when he heard this.

"You have been hiding under my wings all this time, when will you be able to grow up?"

With Yan Xiu's strength, he could naturally help everyone in the Demon Suppression Bureau get through this disaster safely, but he didn't intend to do so.

If Yan Xiu had not realized that Tang Yu might be in danger of death on this trip, he would not even have bestowed that ray of Heavenly Escape Sword Intention on him.

This battle is the first battle of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and it is to be fought for the people and the emperor to see.

If Da Yuan had to rely on itself to solve every danger it encountered, then it would just be a fledgling under the protection of Yan Xiu's wings, with no ability to resist risks at all.

He doesn't want to keep running around for trivial matters in the future.

What Yan Xiu wanted to see was that in the future, Da Yuan would be able to have a sect strength comparable to that of the Holy Sky Island, which had stood for tens of millions of years.

"But Master, if my brothers and the others fail, wouldn't it be a huge blow to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the people?"

Qing'er was intelligent by nature and figured out the connection after a little thought.

Yan Xiu patted her head and smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry, as long as your senior brother is here."

...

...

Qianzhou.

This state is vast and rich in resources, and is originally a fertile land of fish and rice.

However, under the rampage of monsters, the entire Qianzhou became miserable and people's lives were in ruins, with bones exposed in the wild.

In a very short period of time, the population of Qianzhou dropped by 30%, causing a huge impact.

In Qianyang City, the provincial capital.

Governor Liu Qi paced back and forth in the hall, looking very anxious.

The subordinates nearby saw that their master looked restless and spoke quickly.

"My Lord, please be patient. I believe the masters from the Demon Suppression Bureau will be here in a while."

Liu Qi paused for a moment when he heard this, then started pacing again.

"It's been several days since the pigeon message was delivered. Logically, the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau should have arrived today. Why is there still no news at this time?"

Although all the 160 states of the Yuan Dynasty were in turmoil because of the monster incident, the disaster in Qianzhou was the most serious.

Under such circumstances, the governor Liu Qi would write a letter every day and send it to the capital by carrier pigeon, praying that the emperor would send someone to come.

"There is news that the teleportation array obtained from the Moon-carrying Holy Land many years ago has made some progress, but I don't know when it can be used."

The subordinate sighed and spoke to himself.

Ever since he obtained the teleportation formation that year, Da Yuan began to study it non-stop.

It’s a pity that this formation is so mysterious that it has stumped many formation masters.

After so many years, there doesn't seem to be much progress.

The teleportation array is not a big secret, and many officials know of its existence.

There was quite a lot of enthusiasm in the beginning, but after they saw the terrifying situation of the prisoners using the teleportation array, they all fled.

After that, most people began to tacitly keep silent about the teleportation formation and gradually let the matter fade away.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi also sighed.

"Come to think of it, if we have that teleportation formation, this monster can be destroyed with a single move!"

Just as he couldn't stop shaking his head, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"My lord, here they come, they are coming!"

A subordinate rushed into the main room like the wind and spoke breathlessly.

"Sir, the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau are here!"

Liu Qi's eyes, which had been dim for a long time, suddenly brightened when he heard this.

He flashed in front of his subordinate and said impatiently, "Where is he? Take me to meet him!"

The subordinate didn't care about etiquette and snatched the tea on the table and drank it all.

Then he took Liu Qi and a group of officials from the provincial government to greet him.

One hundred and fifty miles outside Qianyang City.

Tang Yu led the demon-catching captains of the Demon Suppression Bureau, riding on tall exotic war horses and galloping on the dilapidated official road, raising clouds of dust.

Everyone was covered in dust and had a slightly tired look on their faces.

Since entering the territory of Qianzhou, waves of monsters have been attacking us without stopping.

Fortunately, they have mastered the secret arts and have extraordinary skills, so they can handle it with ease even when facing monsters.

But during this demon-eliminating trip to Qianzhou, everyone finally realized what kind of opponent they were facing.

The monsters would destroy cities they encountered and kill and capture people for food without any scruples at all.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.

A group of more than ten monster-catching captains, covered in blood, caught up with the main force.

"Damn it, the bones of this monster are too hard. It chopped all my weapons into pieces."

A demon-catching captain in a silver cloak threw away his weapon, which was already full of holes, and spat with blood.

"Is the matter resolved?"

Tang Yu asked while riding his horse without looking back.

The demon-catching captain exhaled a breath of foul air, nodded and said, "To the Grand Commander, everything has been resolved. It's a pity that we were unable to save those people."

When he said this, a trace of regret appeared on the demon-catching captain's face.

On the way to Qianyang City, their team encountered a group of people being chased by monsters.

Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late and could only watch helplessly as the monster swallowed the people alive.

Although he chopped the monster into minced meat afterwards, he still couldn't vent his hatred.

Seeing this, Tang Yu comforted him, "It's not your fault, don't take it too seriously."

Having said that, the demon-catching captain still felt heavy-hearted.

"Your Highness, there is a monster ahead!"

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air and exploded in the sky.

Five hundred monster-catching captains reined in their horses and stopped suddenly.

On the official road, more than a dozen monsters were devouring several corpses that were no longer human-shaped.

There was fishy saliva in their mouths and their eyes were bloodshot.

After seeing the group of hundreds of people, the monster did not run away immediately, but instead let out a series of low roars at Tang Yu and others.

It was as if these five hundred people were a group of fresh blood that was easily available to them.

"Don't panic, they are just a group of little demons."

After confirmation, everyone felt relieved.

If they encountered more than ten big monsters here, even if these five hundred people could successfully kill the monsters, they would have to pay a huge price in casualties.

"Pass the order down, set up the formation and slay the monster!"

Tang Yu's tone was powerful.

The fact that there are monsters roaming the official road so close to the provincial capital is enough to show how bad the situation Qianzhou is facing now.
