The Demon-Suppressing Bureau's Strength

Qi Hong's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, especially the knife scar at the corner of his eye, which added a touch of fierceness!

Furthermore, this person was extremely tall, almost the same height as Qin Yan, but several sizes larger.

Snap!

A heavy slap landed on Qin Yan's shoulder, instantly shattering the bluestone floor tiles into a spiderweb pattern and raising a cloud of dust.

Qin Yan suddenly felt an urge to roll his eyes.

Why do these people from the military like to pat someone on the shoulder like that?

"A very robust body. I've rarely seen anyone with such a powerful physique as you."

Qi Hong couldn't help but smile, looking at Qin Yan with great satisfaction.

"You haven't disgraced my Demon-Suppressing Bureau. Do you know how much of a sensation your news caused when it reached the Capital?"

Qi Hong led Qin Yan to his study and poured him a glass of wine!

"You've really put us in a difficult position."

As he spoke, Qi Hong looked at Qin Yan with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"General, please speak frankly about your difficulties. I, Qin Yan, can handle them."

Upon seeing the other person's expression, Qin Yan felt a sudden jolt, wondering if something had happened.

"You're from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

"Asking you to escort Prince Jing was already somewhat overstepping your bounds, but more importantly, you have rendered great service in Dongying Prefecture and Eastern Heaven Prefecture."

Qi Hong said with a sigh, "It would be fine if you were in the military, but you're from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

You already have numerous censors lodging complaints against you in the imperial court; the memorials are piled up in the imperial study, several thick stacks high.

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow and immediately said solemnly, "I, Qin Yan, am doing this for the peace and tranquility of the people, for I am a subject of the emperor's salary, and for the emperor's loyalty."

How can we, as Great Li, sit idly by when someone rebels?

Is it wrong to be loyal to the emperor and love one's country?

"That's right."

Qi Hong burst into laughter, his gaze towards Qin Yan growing increasingly admiring.

"Our Emperor values his reputation above all else; remember to contend without contending!"

Qin Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this; General Qi was giving him some pointers!

"Thank you for your guidance, General. I, Qin Yan, will never forget it."

"Yes!" Qi Hong nodded with a smile, "You will stay by my side at the morning court tomorrow."

This is also a good opportunity to teach you some rules.

I suppose you have nowhere to stay these days, so please stay at my residence for a while.

You can also test your martial arts skills.

Qi Hong laughed and said, "Your combat talent is so strong that you can defeat even Xiantian and Grandmasters!"

Do you know that those old fogies in the Ministry of War are really eyeing you, kid?

Many people want to take you as their apprentice and have you join the Ministry of War.

"There's such a thing?"

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, it seemed reasonable that he had been noticed by the bigwigs in the Ministry of War.

"Your Archery are so good that they can be used as a deterrent."

To conquer cities and seize strongholds, one arrow can break through them.

Do you know how many soldiers' bloodshed and sacrifices this will save?

Qi Hong smiled and said, "Your value is something that any far-sighted general would not overlook."

Killing an enemy general at 4,000 meters—you could say that's a miracle.

Qin Zhu's presence makes him even more intimidating.

His arrows have terrifying destructive power within a kilometer, but your range is four times that of his.

Your existence is a nightmare for countless masters.

That's why many people don't want to see you become the next Qin Zhu!

Qin Yan naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's words, which made him frown slightly.

"A bunch of people who only dare to play dirty tricks in the shadows, nothing to worry about!"

Qin Yan slightly raised his head.

Now his power has reached the threshold of the Supreme Grandmaster, and there are very few people in the entire Great Li Dynasty who can threaten him.

Even if he can't win a fight, he can still run away.

With that kind of strength, he really doesn't need to be afraid of anyone!

"Alright, you're right, it's all lowbrow stuff."

Qi Hong sneered, "Remember, you are one of my Demon-Suppressing Bureau's people, Demon-Suppressing Bureau is your backer."

Those pedantic scholars really think my Demon-Suppressing Bureau is made of clay!

At this moment, Qi Hong displayed unparalleled domineering aura, saying, "Qin Yan is becoming more and more to my liking."

"Our Demon-Suppressing Bureau doesn't need cowards. Damn it, everyone knows our Demon-Suppressing Bureau is notoriously protective of its own."

Seeing this, Qin Yan felt that joining the Demon-Suppressing Bureau was indeed the right choice.

These old men are really protective of their own.

Those words were probably a way of assessing myself.

Oh, right, there's one more important thing.

Qin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out the small cauldron from his person!

"General, this is Green Sha -level evil spirit that was sealed away in Eastern Heaven Prefecture. Zhu Hai asked me to bring it to the Capital and hand it over to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

"Zhu Hai has already written to inform me."

Qi Hong nodded seriously. "You come with me, kid."

Led by the other party, Qin Yan arrived at the underground of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, where the bricks and stones of the passage were extremely special.

Exceptionally sturdy.

In addition, it seems to have the function of isolating the soul.

"Notify all the masters in the Demon-Sealing Group."

Qi Hong casually gave an order to one of them.

They then entered a spacious underground space, in the center of which stood an altar.

It is engraved with various mysterious rune arrays.

"This place is Spirit-Binding Demon-Slaughtering Formation created by many array masters of our Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

Qi Hong said in a low voice, "Nowadays, demons and monsters are rampant in the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, among which evil spirits are the most troublesome."

Their rise far surpassed that of other outcasts; the weapon-smiths of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau spent countless efforts to create demon-sealing artifacts.

These items can be used even by ordinary people and can easily suppress evil spirits. It's just a pity that these demon-sealing tools are extremely difficult to make.

These are the last resorts left for the local Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

For enemies that were too difficult to deal with, we used sealing artifacts to seal them away before bringing them here for destruction.

Soon, six masters from both Buddhism and Daoism appeared at the scene.

Qin Yan was secretly alarmed upon seeing this.

Among the six powerful figures before them was a Daoist master at the Divine Origin Realm, and the rest were all experts at the Innate Martial Artist level.

Of the six, four were Daoist priests and two were Buddhist monks.

"This Daoist Xuanning is Red Star Daoist's disciple!"

Qi Hong Qin Yan!

"Greetings, Daoist Xuanning."

"Brother Qin, you're too kind. My master often mentions you in his letters."

Xuan Ning nodded with a smile, "Since Master has recognized you as a junior, I will address you as Junior Brother from now on!"

"You're too kind, senior brother!" Qin Yan naturally seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"Junior Brother Qin, you can take out the small cauldron!"

Immediately, Qin Yan took out a small dollop and placed it in the center of the array platform.

In an instant, six experts attacked simultaneously, unleashing streams of True Qi upon the small cauldron.

Qin Yan seemed to hear a crisp sound.

In an instant, wisps of black gas emerged from the small cauldron, but only for a fleeting moment!

A vast and mighty force suddenly erupted from the platform.

An invisible force pressed the black mist firmly to the ground, and soon, the black mist formed a slender figure!

What's most memorable is its disproportionately large mouth and slightly bulging belly.

At this very moment, Buddhist chants and meditations resounded!

This immediately caused it to scream in agony!

Daoist Xuanning's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he formed a hand seal, causing bolts of lightning to erupt from his body.

Slay Evil!

The lightning struck the platform, instantly unleashing a blinding burst of light and amplifying its power dozens of times.

In an instant, the evil at the Green Sha level was blasted into nothingness.

Throughout the entire process, the other party had no chance to resist at all.

The strength of Green Sha- level evil creature is roughly at the level of Xiantian Realm to early-stage Grandmaster!

This shows that the Demon-Suppressing Bureau really did a very good job of arranging these guys!
