The Man-Eating Mountain Demon

Cao Zhizhang's death was not unexpected at all.

However, his soul was indeed captured by Qin Yan.

"Zheshen, drag this guy into your Fold-Life Hell, so he can't live or die."

Qin Yan used his supernatural powers to forcibly detain him and handed him over to the Zheshen Ghost.

"Don't want!"

Cao Zhizhang looked at Qin Yan with a horrified expression; he knew that this man had been with Tao Wang at the time.

"My lord, I also have a private treasury and a discovered iron mine, which I have never revealed to anyone."

If only you could let me go.

I will tell you about both of these places.

In order to save his life, Cao Zhizhang immediately revealed his trump card.

"Hey, I didn't expect you, you piece of trash, to be so good at hiding!"

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"Zheshen, treat him well and find out the details of those two places for me."

Qin Yan glanced at the child beside him.

"Hehehe, Master, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well."

The Zheshen Ghost seized Cao Zhizhang, and the two voices vanished instantly.

A huge raven cawed twice outside the window.

Qin Yan walked forward familiarly and took a small bamboo tube from the other person's leg.

He took out the note inside, glanced at it, and immediately headed to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

"Kid, your appointment letter has arrived."

Zhao Zhen pointed to the two sets of clothes used in the crime.

A set of armor for a general from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, and a set of formal court attire!

"In addition to these two things, the imperial court will also prepare a three-courtyard mansion for you."

These were all gifts from the imperial court.

The Demon-Suppressing Bureau will also grant you the right to choose Grade B treasure once.

Qin Yan's eyes lit up; the mansion was alright.

However, the Demon-Suppressing Bureau doesn't have many opportunities to choose treasures.

Saying that, Zhao Zhen took out a token with a smile, with the Demon Suppressing Pavilion on the front and the word 'B' on the opposite side.

"For you!"

Zhao Zhen said seriously, "You've been quite diligent in killing ghosts lately."

You have wiped out all the evil spirits in the area around the prefectural city.

However, this time I'm sending you to Wuan County, where a demon has appeared and is eating people everywhere.

Xu Hanwu, the Demon-Suppression Envoy of Wuan County, was severely injured and barely survived.

I need you to handle this.

Of course, you can also go and see if there are any treasures that catch your eye!

"Yes, sir!"

Qin Yan turned serious!

During this period, he also went on several field missions, dealing with some Fierce Ghost and malevolent entities.

Hopefully, this time it will be a bit challenging too.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, indicating that Qin Yan could leave.

"With this kid around, life is really comfortable."

After everyone left, Zhao Zhen regained his relaxed and carefree demeanor.

Since Qin Yan was promoted to Commandant Patrol Envoy, he could delegate many tasks to the other party.

Moreover, the efficiency with which it was completed was frighteningly high.

A task can be completed in one or two days at most, and most of the time it can be completed in one day.

All of this was thanks to Qin Yan's unparalleled 'lightness skill'.

Everyone who saw it was horrified.

Many martial arts practitioners, upon seeing this, called it:

'Unmatched Speed - Qin Yan'

His speed is as fast as lightning, earning him the title of the fastest speeder in Youshan Prefecture!

It was much faster than those so-called divine steeds.

The people from the Six Fan Gate wanted to poach his people.

Zhao Zhen refused without hesitation. What a joke!

That's their precious treasure, the Demon-Suppressing Bureau. If people find out, they'll think he sold Qin Yan to the Six Fan Gate.

The big shots of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau could tear him apart alive.

Qin Yan, who had obtained the token, didn't hesitate and went straight to the Treasure Pavilion.

An old man was also guarding the Treasure Pavilion.

He was at least a Qi Origin Realm expert, but his blood and energy were depleted. He was a retired expert from the previous generation who was responsible for guarding an important place within the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

"Little fellow, you must be Qin Yan."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "My surname is Yang, you can call me Old Yang!"

These days, your name is all the rage.

What a spirited young man!

"Little one, what do you want? Perhaps I can give you some suggestions."

Qin Yan thought for a moment, "I want a set of martial arts training clothes, something really durable."

Mr. Yang, as you probably know, I'm very fast, and it's easy for my clothes to catch fire.

As he spoke, he handed the token for retrieving the treasure to the other party.

"This is indeed a problem."

Old Yang nodded. "Let me think about it. It seems there really is such a system. Please wait a moment!"

After finishing his speech, Old Yang immediately entered the treasure vault.

A moment later, he returned carrying an iron box.

"This is the Blood Cloud Martial Robe. Its material is extremely special, capable of withstanding most attacks from sharp blades, and it is exceptionally tough."

It is impervious to water and fire, and a Daoist master has cast a spell upon it, making it dust-proof and free from impurities, ensuring the retreat of all evil.

And it is very wear-resistant.

Qin Yan's eyes lit up when he saw it; it was a complete set of clothes.

It is entirely black with a hint of red, and features shoulder armor and wrist guards; it is not heavy to hold.

The design style is also unique, featuring a semi-armor design that is very pleasing to the eye.

"This is it!"

"Yes, I've already registered it here. The things are yours, little one."

Wearing this Blood Cloud Martial Robe, it fits perfectly, and stretching and movement are not restricted in the slightest.

"With this outfit, I believe I won't spontaneously combust when I unleash my full speed!"

Wuan County is adjacent to Mian County!

Qin Yan took the opportunity to return to Qinghe Town, where everything was normal, and Zong Xiaoshan had recently broken through to the Qi Origin Realm.

Song Bao and the others are basically all at the Bone-Tempering Realm!

Under his covert tutelage, the Infinite Martial Arts School is expanding at an explosive rate.

They began to expand into several surrounding counties, and their population continued to grow.

Everything is progressing steadily.

Now, the number of people secretly loyal to him in Qinghe Town has exceeded three hundred, and they are all being trained with the most rigorous methods.

Both military strength and military proficiency are steadily improving.

After confirming that everything was in order, Qin Yan set off for Wuan County with peace of mind.

We've just entered this area!

Qin Yan then saw a large number of people taking their families to seek refuge in a neighboring county.

"This is unbearable. First, we had a flood, and now demons are causing trouble."

God, why are you tormenting us like this?

On the road, an old man, emaciated and withered, was wailing and beating his chest.

The pedestrians on the road looked numb, walking forward expressionlessly.

Too many hardships have caused these people to lose hope, and they live in this world like walking corpses.

Qin Yan felt a slight pang of sadness upon seeing this.

The trend is irreversible, and he cannot resist it alone, at least not now.

The closer you get to Wuan County, the sparsely populated the surrounding villages become.

Soon, Qin arrived at a place called Huang Family Village.

Skeletons scattered along the roadside!

Qin Yan crouched down and picked up a human leg bone with tiny teeth marks on it.

He frowned slightly.

As he continued his investigation, he discovered that many people in the village had been eaten, and all of them had tiny teeth marks.

It doesn't look like the work of a wild animal.

If he remembers correctly, the monster that appeared in Wuan County was a huge man-eating Shanxiao!
