Finally, after consuming five hundred years of demon lifespan, he deduced the Cirrus Cloud Saber Technique to the Great Accomplishment stage.

Shen Lin let out a light breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Everything before him remained unchanged.

However, he could feel the Cirrus Cloud Saber beside him trembling slightly, as if yearning for something.

Shen Lin gently lowered his right hand, soothing the Cirrus Cloud Saber, and whispered, "Don't be anxious, there will be opportunities..."

He was also looking forward to how astonishing that saber strike at the Aperture Opening Realm would be.

An hour later, looking at the crowd who had barely recovered some energy, Shen Lin stood up and said, "Have you all rested well? It's time to set off!"

Li Xiaorong rubbed her eyes and said softly to Li Guoyu beside her with a sullen face, "After we go back, I'm definitely going to sleep for three days and three nights!"

Li Guoyu nodded, his face full of fatigue, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Cheer up!" Cui Tiancai took a deep breath. Although he was equally exhausted, he still comforted his teammates beside him.

"Only one last task remains. After completing this task, we can go back."

Shen Lin opened the mission scroll and conveyed the specific details of the final mission to everyone.

The final mission objective of this trip was Qingyuan County in the northern part of Youzhou.

The western part of Youzhou bordered continuous mountains, while the northern part was a flat grassland.

The grassland was not under the jurisdiction of the Great Wei Dynasty, but was jointly managed by a number of loosely organized nomadic tribes.

The grassland was vast and unsuitable for farming, and there were no significant spirit stone veins, but it still had some precious resources that were hard to give up.

Precious spiritual plants and the bodies of rare demons were all needed by the martial artists of the Great Wei.

Within the Great Wei Dynasty, merchant caravans often ventured deep into the grassland to purchase these spiritual plants, demon bones, and animal hides.

Qingyuan County was the last town on the way from Youzhou to the grassland, and it was usually very lively with people coming and going.

However, recently, the merchant caravans that had gone out had not returned for a long time, which aroused the attention of the local county government.

After some investigation, they discovered that at some point, a group of wolf demons had migrated near Qingyuan County.

As an important border town, Qingyuan County had a Patrol Division force of three hundred men.

Unlike the Qiulin County Patrol Division, which had been abandoned due to years of peace, the Qingyuan County Patrol Division was well-equipped and full of talent.

There were even three Innate Realm martial artists.

When demons were encountered harming people, Qingyuan County naturally dispatched the Patrol Division force to slay the demons.

However, in the end, less than fifty men returned from the three hundred-man team.

According to the survivors, there were over a hundred wolf demons, all of whom had cultivated demonic energy and become great demons.

There were more than a dozen demons at the Innate Realm alone.

Moreover, the leading white-haired, one-eyed wolf demon was suspected to be at the Treasure Nurturing Realm.

At this point, the matter was no longer something Qingyuan County could handle.

They could only seek help from the Demon Suppression Division.

After explaining the mission details, Shen Lin asked, "Do you have any doubts?"

Cui Tiancai and the others shook their heads, with a hint of nonchalance on their faces.

They were all centurions in the Demon Suppression Division who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, and they had countless methods for slaying demons. Ordinary demons would not be taken seriously by them at all.

In addition, after this period of high-intensity combat, everyone felt that their strength had improved significantly.

The continuous life-and-death battles and external pressure allowed the strength of several people to advance by leaps and bounds.

Even Cui Tiancai's spiritual power had been transformed into astral energy.

Now, they were just waiting for an opportunity to condense it into liquid and break through to the Treasure Nurturing Realm.

Under such circumstances, they even felt that even if Shen Lin wasn't leading the team, they could solve those wolf demons with just the few of them.

Seeing the indifference on their faces, Shen Lin smiled and quickened his pace.

The speed of an Innate Realm martial artist running was faster than that of a military horse.

But even so, the group still ran from noon until night before arriving at Qingyuan County.

"Should we enter the city?"

Night had fallen, and Qingyuan County had already entered curfew.

Looking at the tightly closed city gate, Cui Tiancai asked while taking out the Demon Suppression Division waist tag.

Generally speaking, the city gate would not be easily opened at night.

But there were exceptions.

For example, in the event of an emergency military situation, or when a Demon Suppression Division centurion was handling a case, the gatekeepers had to open the city gate unconditionally.

Cui Tiancai thought that his group should first enter Qingyuan County to obtain specific information about those wolf demons from the county government before going to slay the demons.

The previous missions were also like this.

But this time, Shen Lin shook his head gently and said, "No need!"

He turned his head, looking at the endless grassland, which seemed so peaceful under the cold moonlight.

And in the distance, a dark demonic aura was constantly rising.

Pointing in that direction, Shen Lin whispered, "Those wolf demons should be in that direction."

Cui Tiancai and the others had also cultivated the Demon-Watching Spiritual Eyes, but no matter how they used this martial art, looking in the direction of Shen Lin's gaze, all they saw was a peaceful darkness.

Although they did not find any traces, they still unconditionally trusted Shen Lin's judgment.

Immediately, everyone followed behind Shen Lin and ran into the depths of the grassland.

Half an hour later, Shen Lin suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked ahead.

"How could this be..."

Cui Tiancai and the others looked at the scene before them, their faces full of doubt.

Under the moonlight, the grassland ahead was covered with the corpses of wolf demons.

These wolf demons were as big as calves, and even though they were dead, their bodies still exuded a strong demonic aura.

They didn't look like ordinary little demons.

However, the powerful and numerous wolf demons were now all dead.

"Could it be that other colleagues have taken action?"

Cui Tiancai said in confusion.

Although so far, only their team had taken on this task, if other members of the Demon Suppression Division happened to pass by this place and discovered traces of the wolf demons and took action, it was possible.

And in this case, the rewards for these wolf demons would be counted on those who first killed the wolf demons.

This was also a method used by the Demon Suppression Division to encourage the centurions below to take action when encountering demons.

Could it be that we were intercepted this time?

Just as the others were feeling a little discouraged, Shen Lin suddenly shook his head and said, "Not colleagues! Even..."

"Not of the same race!"

He walked to the side and turned over the corpse of an Innate Realm wolf demon.

He saw a large hole torn open in the abdomen of the corpse, and a strange cyan demonic aura had not yet dissipated, still corroding the wolf demon's body.

Shen Lin was no stranger to this cyan demonic aura.

"Qingqiu Fox Clan..."

The demonic aura on Qingqiu Wu Huan, whom he met in Dragon Locking Mountain before, was of this nature.

But...

Why would the fox demons of the Qingqiu Clan attack these wolf demons?
