I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

"Go, go, go!"

"Hurry up, why are you dawdling!"

Snapped!

The soldier's whip struck the young man's face, leaving a bloody mark.

The young man staggered, and he looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. His Taoist robe was in tatters, and there were broken magic nails stuck in his pubic area. The black iron chain penetrated the lute's bones and was connected to the huge iron shackles.

This set of torture instruments was specially used by the imperial court to target criminal monks. Once banned, the magic power collapsed and the body became weaker than ordinary people.

An hour ago, the young man was listening to sutras in the Dharma Lecture Hall and comprehending the teachings of Taoist sages.

Then a sudden disaster struck, and the entire sect was under siege. There were buildings and ships in the sky to block it, and immortal masters formed formations on the ground.

Blood and fire shattered the young man's dream of cultivating immortality, and he became a prisoner. The black iron chain tied him and his fellow disciples together, and boarded the building ship one by one.

Before boarding the boat, we passed by the river beach and saw a ferocious dragon head. .

Under the sunlight, the dragon scales reflect the golden light, as if cast from red gold.

"Ahem!"

The young man staggered in fright: "Is this Jiang Shen!?"

I couldn't help but feel shocked. In addition to worshiping the Taoist ancestor, the Golden Dragon Society also set up another hall to worship the Red River Water God.

The elders in the sect often tell their disciples the story of how their ancestor unexpectedly received the inheritance from the Dragon Palace, embarked on the path, and finally became a god after a lot of struggle.

"stand up!"

Seeing that the young man was slowing down the march, the soldiers stepped forward and whipped them a few more times.

Bin Group showed no respect to the former immortal master. Only 5,000 of Tongcheng's 10,000 elites were left, and there were more dead bodies on the ground than enemies.

This is still an advantage. If someone in the God Refining Realm fights on the battlefield, they may suffer death or injury.

The young man did not dare to say a word, but he stood up with all his strength and boarded the boat step by step.

When we reached the last step, we saw a yellow-faced man, accompanied by Zhou Mu, and Tongcheng officials standing respectfully behind him.

Zhou Yi sensed the young man's gaze, his eyes flashed with spiritual light, and he used the Spiritual Wood Technique to look at the Qi.

The breath is pure and natural, and there is a faint layer of merit aura.

Liu Yi and others were always paying attention to Zhou Yi, following his gaze and shaking their heads slightly.

Zhou Yi asked: "Will they be punished by the Ministry of Justice?"

"Senior Hui Qin, plundering human beings and selling them to the demon kingdom is worse than the crime of treason. It is the first such case in our country."

Liu Yi replied: "Your Majesty is so angry that he will put them all into the Demon Slayer Prison without any trial by the Ministry of Punishment and execute the nine clans."

Many monks in the Golden Dragon Society did not participate in the plundering of humans, and did not even know about it. There are hundreds of disciples in the whole sect, and every one of them is a famous family in the family area.

There were at least a hundred or more than a thousand people from the nine tribes. They were all captured and brought to justice. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 people were beheaded.

The hatred of destroying a family must be eradicated.

"Master Liu, please work harder and die as little as possible."

Zhou Yi did not say that the sentence was too harsh. Only severe punishments and severe punishments can deter newcomers.

"Senior Qin is merciful, and I will keep an eye on it personally."

Liu Yi understood what Zhou Yi meant. Whenever there was a major case of confiscation of property and genocide, many officials would make a fortune.

After this case, Liu Yi has touched the threshold of determination and destiny, and with the help of resources from the Golden Dragon Society and the Dragon Palace, he will be able to obtain the second-level certificate in time.

"I will send my descendants into reincarnation. When Mr. Liu arrives in Luojing in the future, he can go to Prince Yan's Mansion to find me."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he turned into light and flew away.

Liu Yi and the Tongcheng officials waited until Zhou Yi disappeared from the sky before they stood up.

Zhang Zhenren came out of the cabin and said: "Old Liu, have you gone too far this time? At least you should inform us in advance!"

Jiang Duyi appeared together, waiting for Liu Yi to explain.

"What are you talking about? Do you believe that the demon slayer killed the first-level demon king?"

Liu Yi was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "Since I am pastoring Wuzhou, I cannot betray the divine grace above and I cannot betray the people below. If the demonic dragon is found to have done evil, I will kill it with all my strength!"

"Well?"

Master Zhang and Jiang Dutong looked at each other, wondering why this guy's temperament suddenly changed.

Since Liu Yi had no background, after he was promoted to prefectural pastor, what he could really take charge of was the area around Tongcheng, and other county and county officials were acting in secret.

"Of course, Zhang Gongfeng and Jiang Dutong put in a lot of effort when slaying the demon dragon. I will report it to Your Majesty."

Liu Yi lowered his voice and said: "You two can get 10% more of the spiritual objects left by the demon dragon. This is what Senior Qin meant."

The treasures of the Golden Dragon Society and the Dragon Palace should be put into the national treasury after being counted. However, it is the local officials who are responsible for counting, and they will not say anything if they withhold some of them.

"Just follow what Mr. Liu said!"

Zhang and Jiang understood that Wuzhou would be under Liu Yi's jurisdiction from then on.

…

Qingyundao Palace.

There were bursts of chanting in the preaching hall, it was time for the disciples to have their morning classes.

A stream of light passed through the formation and fell into the hands of Master Xuanyu who was listening to the scriptures with his eyes closed. It was a jade slip for communication.

Xuanyu's divine consciousness swept over the jade slip, his brows furrowed slightly, and his figure disappeared.

The disciples chanting sutras below stopped for a moment, and then continued to recite sutras, but their thoughts had changed.

The head teacher likes to listen to the scriptures and is good at teaching his disciples. He will listen to the last part of every morning class if there is anything important.

Xuanyu summoned the real people in the sect and went to the Patriarch's Hall to discuss matters.

Qingyun Taoist Palace is one of the leaders of the Taoist sect. It has two Yang gods and a dozen god-refining immortals, and its strength is much stronger than that of Yunxiao Taoist palace.

Of course, now it is far from comparable to who made Sanwu lose his immortality.

When everyone arrived, Xuanyu got straight to the point.

"Uncle Xuanqing just received news that the demon dragon in Hongjiang River was killed!"

Xuanqing is the previous headmaster of Qingyun Dao Palace and is currently one of the three giants of the Demon Slayer Division. After Jiang Wu, the commander of Wuzhou Demon Slayer Capital, reported the report, Xuanqing immediately passed the news back to the sect.

There are many monks from various sects serving in the Immortal Pension Department and the Demon Slaying Department, and it won't be long before the news of the death of the Red River Water God Ao Xu spread throughout Daqian.

After the words fell, there was an uproar in the palace.

"What? Who can kill that demonic dragon?"

"The true immortal cannot come out, unless several first-level people surround and kill him, that is possible!"

"Did Master Sanwu take action?"

"It's difficult, it's difficult! Master Sanwu is indeed very strong. However, with the True Immortal Patriarch present that time, there is a high probability that he took action secretly!"

There was a lot of discussion, and it was hard to guess who in Da Gan had such strength.

Xuanyu waved his hand to signal silence and said, "No need to guess, it's Wagang Mountain Qi Refiner, Qin Qiong!"

"Qin Qiong, it turns out it's him..."

After everyone recalled for a while, they remembered who it was.

Qi refiners are extremely rare in Daqian. Most of them train their bodies and then refine their qi, step by step.

Among them, only Qin Qiong, a first-grade Qi practitioner, is currently known. His first appearance in Kyoto caused quite a stir.

Qingyun Taoist Palace also has a branch near Luojing, and the resident Lian Shen Zhenren even entertained Qin Qiong. However, since then, Qin Qiong has kept secret and has never seen him take action.

The only thing that caught my eye was that he was better than the old beggar from the Beggar Clan in escaping skills.

Master Xuanling, who was in charge of foreign affairs, suddenly said: "Senior brother, if I remember correctly, Mr. Qin Qiong... is mixed up with King Yan, right?"

"How could it be King Yan?"

The others looked at each other.

King Yan Li Le seemed to be the most expensive in the eyes of ordinary monks, or second- and third-grade refining gods.

A first-level Qi Refiner does not need to hang out with King Yan at all. What he needs that King Yan cannot give him, he has everything that King Yan can have.

Moreover, the fact that King Yan possesses the aura of a black dragon is not a secret in the eyes of the senior officials of Daqian.

The Black Dragon Lord's killing is ominous in the eyes of the monks!

Xuanyu frowned slightly and asked, "Junior brother, can you find out how King Yan managed to win over Mr. Qin?"

There are only so many first-level masters in Dagan, and excluding those in the Dao Alliance, the number is even smaller. There are disciples in the Qingyun Taoist Palace who are responsible for collecting rumors and collecting the news of first-grade masters to avoid getting angry over something.

"Senior brother, wait a moment."

Xuan Ling took out a jade plate and summoned his disciples to inquire about the archives.

All major sects have specialized disciples who are responsible for gathering information, and anything useful will be recorded.

After a while.

Xuan Ling said: "Senior brother, it is because of the Bailian rebellion in Bodhi County that King Yan agreed to send troops..."

"I see."

Xuanyu couldn't help but praise: "This Mr. Qin's character puts us to shame!"

Other real people in the palace nodded in admiration. Qingyun Dao Palace had long known that the demon dragon was causing trouble, but was too frightened by Luoshui Dragon Palace to dare to do anything.

suddenly.

A real person said: "In this case, will the position of Hongjiang Water God be vacant?"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the leader Xuan Yu.

The position of the Hongjiang Water God is more than just a river water god. He has eight generals under his command, such as making clouds and rain, rewarding good and punishing evil, and at least dozens of third-rate priests such as the river patrolling yaksha.

What's more, as the water god, it's not easy to gain merit.

"This matter needs long-term consideration. There will definitely be many people competing for the first-class priesthood..."

Xuanyu said slowly: "However, the Dao Palace has been operating in Wuzhou for three thousand years. Unless the real immortal intervenes, no one can come!"

The faces of all the real people were filled with joy. As the head brother said, the position of River God is almost certain.

So they all thought about how to hold an official position in Hongjiang.

Even if you don't need it yourself, there will always be future generations of disciples and disciples who will.

…

Luoshui Dragon Palace.

Dragon Lord Ao Jing received the news faster than Qingyun Taoist Palace.

There were officials in the Daqian Dynasty who were close to the Dragon Clan, and their status was not low due to mutual help with the Dragon Palace.

Not long ago, Sanwu made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace, which reduced the power of the Dragon Clan a lot, but it did not affect this relationship.

As long as the real dragon does not die, there will be no shortage of officials in the court who need "help".

After Ao Jing received the news, he did not report to his father immediately. He retreated and discussed with General Turtle first.

After General Turtle heard the news, he was startled at first, and then his eyes rolled around.

"This is a great thing! Among the king's many descendants, only Lord Long and His Highness the Ninth Prince are in the first rank. Now that His Highness the Ninth Prince has unfortunately passed away, who can inherit the burden of the Dragon Palace?"

The Divine Turtle has a long life. General Turtle has lived in the Dragon Palace for more than two thousand years. He is one of the few old demons who knows the longevity of the old Dragon King.

The longevity of the dragon clan is long, and it is not endless. The old dragon has ruled Luoshui for nearly five thousand years. Before Taizu Daqian unified the world, he had been powerful in Yunzhou for more than three thousand years.

According to the calculation of the longevity of a true dragon, it will come to an end in three to five hundred years at most.

It may seem like a long time, but in reality, for the Dragon Clan, it is just a few naps.

General Turtle congratulated: "The king will definitely do his best for the inheritance of Dragon Palace. Lord Dragon just needs to wait, the real dragon is in sight!"

"I see!"

Ao Jing felt happy. He knew more than General Turtle. His father was already planning the treasures in the Demon Slayer Division.

"If that's the case, then with Lao Jiu's death, does it mean that we don't need to disturb our father?"

"The Dragon King has no choice but to retaliate to the King!"

General Turtle said: "Not only is he going to report, Lord Long also has to show that he is heartbroken and wants to avenge His Highness Ninth Prince at all costs!"

Ao Jing frowned. Most of Lao Long's many children were half-brothers and had basically no feelings.

Especially Lao Jiu Aoxu, because of his extraordinary talent and Lao Long's favorite golden scales, he had often opposed Ao Jing in the past.

Seeing this, General Turtle quickly explained: "The king has thousands of heirs, and there are more than a hundred of them that he likes. While planning for the Dragon Palace, he must also be worried about the safety of his descendants..."

When Ao Jing heard this, he immediately understood.

"General Turtle is indeed very wise!"
