The Great Changes in the World

Bang!

A huge hand slammed down on Qin Yan's shoulder, and the blue bricks beneath his feet shattered with a loud cracking sound!

Qin Yan remained as steady as a pine tree, his expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

"Haha, you're not bad, it's just a pity you're a bit short."

Zhao Zhen's wild laughter rang out, causing the entire room to tremble slightly.

The more he looked at Qin Yan, the more satisfied he became; he was a promising talent for martial arts.

"Commandant, damaging public property will result in a deduction from your salary!"

Zuo Xiu spoke up expressionlessly, but it made Zhao Zhen's face stiffen, and the smile on his face came to an abrupt end.

"You skinny monkey, you're such a spoilsport."

Zhao Zhen glanced helplessly at Zuo Xiu, then turned to Qin Yan with a hint of curiosity. "I heard you're not even fifteen yet!"

"Yes!" Qin Yan nodded. "To be precise, I'm only fourteen years and six months old now, and I won't turn fifteen until next May."

These words caused both Zhao Zhen and the other man to turn their heads in surprise.

"My goodness, what did you eat to grow up like this?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but click his tongue. "If I were your age, I'd probably only reach your shoulder."

This kid has potential!

Zhao Zhen's face was full of wrinkles as he smiled, and the more he looked at Qin Yan, the more satisfied he became. "Kid, I heard that your master is just the leader of a small gang."

"As expected!" Qin Yan thought to himself. He knew that if he wanted to become the Demon-Suppression Envoy, the other party would definitely investigate his background.

"Reporting to the Commandant, this lad has indeed become an apprentice of Li Wenqing, the leader of the Azure Blade Gang."

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhen nodded nonchalantly. "In our Demon-Suppressing Bureau, strength is everything; background is secondary."

However, Li Wenqing isn't exactly a good person either; it's best to cut ties with them completely.

Ultimately, it's a stain.

"I understand, kid!"

Qin Yan nodded calmly when he chose to become Demon-Suppression Envoy.

This has already been taken into consideration.

Sigh! I guess I'll just have to let my master suffer a bit.

Zhao Zhen's expression instantly turned serious as he looked at the evaluation documents submitted by Ma Daren.

"I didn't expect those guys from the Yinluo Way to reappear."

It seems we have to get those little brats from the Demon-Searching Bureau moving!

However, their gazes quickly returned to Qin Yan, and their admiration for him intensified.

"I didn't expect you to be able to kill the mutated Monk Zhixing at such a young age. According to Uncle Ma's description, this person's strength has probably reached the peak of the Qi Origin Realm."

Even more bizarrely, they possess an immortal body.

Uncle Ma has praised you a lot.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You did a great job. The Demon-Suppressing Bureau rarely has such promising newcomers!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Despite their high rank and great power, being a member of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau is a truly arduous job.

The mortality rate was unusually high.

Very few exceptionally gifted geniuses join!

Some were recruited from the military, while the vast majority of the rest were selected from the underworld.

These people are motivated by the desire for official positions and to secure a future for their descendants.

Secondly, it was for wealth and status; otherwise, few martial arts figures would be willing to join the imperial court.

Another category includes Buddhist and Daoist disciples, many of whom are outstanding and capable. They voluntarily join the Demon-Suppressing Bureau in order to subdue demons and monsters, but this is relatively rare compared to the first two categories.

Being a dog of the imperial court has always been a disgrace to those in the martial arts world!

There are very few geniuses like Qin Yan who have grown up in a wild and untamed way.

"Qin Yan, are you planning to stay in Youshan Prefecture or return to Qinghe Town to take up your post?"

Qinghe Town!

Qin Yan replied without hesitation, "That's my territory."

Although Youshan Prefecture is a good place, I have no foothold here, and there are many eyes watching me.

This clearly does not conform to his philosophy of expediency.

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhen seemed to have anticipated this. "Since you've chosen Qinghe Town, there's a task I need you to do."

"Sir, please give your orders."

Qin Yan clasped his hands in a solemn gesture, his expression serious, and he was also curious about what it was all about.

"You must already know about the disaster at the Mass Grave Mound in Qinghe Town!"

"Know!"

"What I need you to do is twofold: first, eliminate the evil spirits within the Chaotic Split Ridge; second, find the funerary objects stolen by those tomb raiders, and the tomb itself!"

Zhao Zhen said seriously, "If those funerary objects fall into the hands of evil people, the harm they could cause is unimaginable."

As for the evil spirits in the Mass Grave Mound, consider them practice for you.

After the deed is done, you can choose one Grade C treasure and one Grade B book!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan felt a deep sense of unease.

Ma Daren also told him about some of the treasures of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, and that the Grade C treasures were comparable to the treasures of some small sects.

The Grade B collection is even more remarkable.

These books were mostly provided by the royal family and contained countless martial arts manuals from various schools.

Any one of these items alone would be enough to attract countless people to fight over it.

"Your subordinate will not fail in your mission."

Haha, don't put too much pressure on yourself!

Zhao Zhen gently patted Qin Yan's shoulder, then asked with a mysterious expression, "Do you know why Qinghe Town holds such a special position in Youshan Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan was taken aback. Although he had thought about it before, he had not given it much thought.

"It is said that in a very ancient era, there were Immortals in Qinghe Town."

The emperor of our Great Li Dynasty once searched for traces of Immortals in this place and even sent many Mojin Xiaowei to dig up graves.

To find something incredible.

Unfortunately, they did not find what the emperor wanted.

Zhao Zhen's tone became complicated. "Now the world has changed drastically, and demons and evil spirits are emerging frequently."

The Mojin Xiaowei often unearthed terrifying things from underground, Mojin Xiaowei lineage suffered heavy losses.

The things buried underground are becoming increasingly sinister.

The dynasty has now banned burial for ordinary people, and the Cremation Site system is being gradually implemented.

Young man, don't force things when they're beyond your control.

Only by staying alive can we have a chance to turn things around!

"My lord, do you mean that the evil spirits in the world are already showing signs of getting out of control?"

Qin Yan asked cautiously.

"You don't seem to be stupid after all."

Zhao Zhen smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, "In the last hundred years, the number of evil spirits has increased dramatically."

Moreover, their strength is growing ever more formidable, and they are becoming increasingly unrestrained.

Even the Supreme Grandmasters cannot do anything about them.

Ugh, why bother telling this to a little brat like you!

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Go with Zuo Xiu to collect your official robes and seal. Oh, and you also earned merit points for resolving the evil spirit incident at the Wei Mansion; you can check out the Treasure Pavilion!"

Saying goodbye to Zhao Zhen!

Qin Yan followed Zuo Xiu to the armory and received his official robes and seal.

"This official robe is both your identity and a magical artifact. Ordinary evil spirits will not only be unable to harm you, but will instead be intimidated by it."

The same applies to the Pixiu seal; placing it at home can ward off evil spirits and protect the house!

Zuo Xiu pointed to a set of jet-black armor, on which tiny inscriptions were carved. Qin Yan could see a special 'qi' contained within it.

The same is true for the other official seal, which is carved with a Pixiu!

As for the contents of that treasure vault, Qin Yan glanced through the catalog.

The variety of precious magical artifacts and sect-protecting secret manuals is truly dazzling.

However, these items are quite valuable.

Qin Yan killed the Monk Zhixing and gained thirty merit points, according to the rules of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

You get one or two merit points for slaying Vengeful Ghost!

The Evil Ghost -level merit points are between five and ten!

The combat power of the Fierce Ghosts will undergo a qualitative leap, with their merit points generally exceeding twenty.

However, Qin Yan did not use his merit points, as low-level magic weapons were of no use to him.

Only when you have enough merit points to buy a powerful magic weapon will it be able to help you.
