With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

In the realm between existence and nothingness.

A bright nebula is gradually rotating and condensing.

The nebula is just a mirage, but compared to the hazy illusion when it first condensed, the nebula now has a clear outline and a clear shape.

It's like a beautiful holographic projection.

After silently watching the nebula for a moment, Gu Xia's consciousness returned to reality from the spiritual platform.

That nebula is Gu Xia's fantasy illusion, which is no longer transparent at this moment, and he can also control eight thoughts.

It means that Gu Xia has reached the perfection of the empty illusion realm and is about to enter the next realm of soul cultivation, the control of objects. At that time, soul cultivation will have some real combat power, instead of relying on creating illusions to deceive people.

"Maybe I was born to be a cultivator, not suitable for martial arts."

Gu Xia thought.

He cultivated Xuanwu for three years and spent all kinds of efforts to make up for the defects caused by insufficient talent and too old.

In the end, he became a demon, sacrificed more than a hundred people and a Xuanliu realm warrior, and gave himself an unremovable blood disaster buff, and finally broke through to the Xuanliu realm with difficulty.

And he cultivated his soul for less than two years, and he reached the perfection of the Konghuan realm smoothly without any troubles, and was only one step away from entering the Yuwu realm, which was on par with the Xuanliu realm.

But now, Gu Xia would not really switch to the Taoist temple, he chose to have it all.

After stretching his stiff body, he got up and went out.

It had been almost five months since the martial arts competition, and the season had come to winter.

On the street, the first snow of this year had also fallen.

…

After a while, Gu Xia came to a somewhat old house in Tianxuanmen.

There was a plaque on the door, which read "Zhu Xie Si".

There was also a couplet on both sides.

Kill all the demons in the world and save the people from water and fire.

Get rid of the evil spirits in the world and bring peace to the people.

(This is the only cultural paper of the author, so please don't complain about the bad couplets.)

This is the department where Gu Xia is currently working in Tianxuanmen.

Don't look at how exaggerated it is written on the door, but in fact, the evil-killing department is the most despised job in Tianxuanmen, second only to being exiled to the anti-demon front.

When the Dagan Dynasty was established, the founding emperor signed an agreement with the major famous and upright sects.

Let these sects set up a department to help the court deal with thugs such as demons and bandits.

This department is the evil-killing department.

Time has changed, and hundreds of years have passed.

The major sects gradually pretended to obey the court, and the court allocated less and less money to each evil-killing department.

So the evil-killing department has little profit, but if it is just a little profit, it is not a problem. Tianxuanmen is also not profitable, but many people are still willing to do it because it is stable, easy and worry-free.

And the work of the evil-killing department is just unstable, not easy and worry-free.

As time went by and the imperial power weakened, the major sects had already taken actual control of the territory around their garrisons.

If there were more demons and bandits, it would damage the vital interests of the sects.

Therefore, the Zhuxie Division still had to send people out to kill evil, that is, with a significant reduction in resources, the workload did not decrease much.

It was still all field work. If you were lucky, you could catch some ordinary bandits near Xianfu City. If you were unlucky, you would have to travel hundreds of miles to find a very dangerous demon disciple.

Back and forth, you didn't get any benefits, and you were tired from traveling, and it also delayed your practice time.

But the disciples all signed a contract with the sect and had to obey the arrangements.

The vacancies of the Tianxuan Sect's lucrative and idle jobs were almost all controlled by the Elders' Council controlled by the four surnames, leaving only these tedious and tiring jobs.

Yuan Yi originally wanted to bring Gu Xia to his place to manage the outer sect chores together, but the Elders' Council blocked the review, and then he was transferred to the Zhuxie Division.

Gu Xia walked into the house, and someone happened to walk out. He was about the same age as him, but he was a disciple from the previous class. His name was Qian Danggui.

"Brother Champion, you came at the right time! There are traces of the suspected origin of the demon sect in the city again. The government asked us to go and have a look. You can come with me." Qian Danggui said with a smile.

"Okay, but you can just call me Gu Xia."

Qian Danggui: "What's wrong? Brother Gu, you are indeed the champion of the martial arts competition!

Wow! I still remember the glory of you defeating the first-class genius Yu Chen with one shot in that battle."

"That's all in the past! I may not be his opponent now." Gu Xia said modestly.

He is the worst champion of the martial arts competition of the Tianxuan Sect.

The previous champions were all appointed as elders and managers early, and only Gu Xia was assigned to the Zhuxie Division to be responsible for "eliminating demons and defending the way".

Qian Danggui didn't know that he was careless by nature, or deliberately teased. Every time he saw Gu Xia, he called him "Brother Champion" and "Brother Champion".

The two went out together.

...

An hour later.

Qian Danggui led Gu Xia into an alley he was very familiar with.

Passing through the blockade formed by the government officials, they came to the end of the alley.

A corpse fell to the ground, with pale skin and blood flowing out of the body.

Qian Danggui looked down with a frown and said, "That's right, it's the trace of the Blood Evil Magic of the Origin Demon Cult again.

Seeing that Da Gan's life was coming to an end and the world was beginning to be in chaos, these evildoers became more and more rampant!"

The officials beside him twitched their eyes when they heard him say such treasonous words, but they didn't dare to get angry.

"Brother Guanjun, go and look around to see if there are any traces that have been missed."

Qian Danggui and Gu Xia were checking in the alley.

However, Qian Danggui didn't look like he was searching carefully at all, and was very casual.

Gu Xia was checking carefully, carefully checking if he had left any clues, and looking for an opportunity to destroy them.

That's right, the man in the alley was killed by Gu Xia.

That man was a gangster. Yesterday, Gu Xia saw him trying to molest a girl, so he helped him.

Gu Xia advocated that helping others should be rewarded. If we only encourage people to do what is right in spirit, there will be fewer and fewer good people.

It would be best if the reward came from the bad guys, so that both evil and good can be punished.

So he took some things from the gangster as his reward.

So naturally, the two of them couldn't find any clues.

After a while.

"Brother Guanjun, our work is done, let's go back." Qian Bugui walked out of the alley, and Gu Xia hurriedly followed.

When passing by the corpse, Qian Bugui suddenly found that the corpse seemed different from the one left by the Origin Demon Cult when they committed crimes before. This corpse seemed to be more shriveled.

He realized something, but still walked out silently.

After exiting the alley, Gu Xia asked, "Brother, are we just leaving like this without investigating it carefully?"

Qian Bugui: "Our mission has been completed, of course we can leave.

Brother Guanjun, I will teach you a trick.

Just go through the motions for all the tasks, don't take it too seriously, what if you really find out something?

Don't find yourself extra work, the money from the Zhuxie Division is not worth it!

You should try to make everyone think you are an incompetent waste, then you can have an easy time in the Zhuxie Division in the next few years."

"Thank you for your advice, brother!" Gu Xia nodded quickly, looking like an honest junior.

...

The day in the Zhuxie Division ended quickly.

Today, Xianfu City is "calm" again, a day without demons.

But in the evening, a letter was delivered to the desk of Gu Wangshu, the Zhuxie Manager in the Zhuxie Division.

It said: "Gaoguan County is seriously plagued by demons, send people to kill demons quickly!"

"Huh?"

Gu Wangshu opened the map and was puzzled. Gaoguan County is far away from the vast mountains and forests, and it is not a remote place. How could there be demons invading?

But at first glance, the seals of Gaoguan County Magistrate, Tianxuan Sect, etc. were all on the letter.

He had to dispel his doubts and picked up the brush to write down the list of the demon-killing team.

Soon, the list of a twelve-member team was written.

"By the way, the elder has instructed..."

Gu Wangshu picked up the pen and added the words "Gu Xia" at the end of the list.
