Mandate and Jurisdiction

The Demon Suppression Division is Great Wei's dedicated anti-demon institution, with a Thousand-Household Office established in each of the dynasty's fourteen prefectures. Its officers investigate demonic activity, hunt demons and Demonic Cultivators, and protect human settlements from Demon Race incursions. 58 69

Its authority extends beyond local jurisdictions. Martial artists who reach the Star Realm or above must register with the division and report before operating across prefectures. 198

During major threats, the division can coordinate with Great Wei's army and mobilize its prefectural offices for large-scale extermination campaigns. 442

Demon Slaying Marquis

The Demon Slaying Marquis are the division's sharpest weapon. Unlike ordinary officers, whose primary duty is guarding assigned regions, they undertake exceptionally dangerous operations across the plains, borders, seas, and demon kingdoms. 71 88

• The force is fixed at sixty members in ten squads, though its membership changes frequently because of casualties. 88
• Squads A through D are the principal combat units and are generally deployed against Primal Chaos Realm opponents. 300
• Teams can directly contact the division's commanders during emergencies. 236
• Retired or injured Demon Slaying Marquis experts remain part of the division's deeper reserve of high-level personnel. 303

Recruitment and Advancement

Entry normally requires passing a trial held once every three years, though exceptional talents may enter through special channels. 59 75

The division's recruitment policy prioritizes quality over quantity. Its officers are selected from talented martial artists, but the lethality of demon-slaying work leaves many teams permanently understaffed. 82

Strength and battle records command substantial respect within the organization; Shen Lin's registration of numerous Innate Realm kills immediately changed other officers' perception of him. 78

Contributions and Rewards

Demon corpses submitted through official channels are converted into contribution points. Court officers may exchange these points for money, rare treasures, weapons, cultivation methods, martial arts, and secret techniques. 27

Resource / Reward	Known Details
Contribution points	Awarded for confirmed demon kills and usable for money or restricted division resources. 27 77
Meridian-Opening Pills	Available through the reward list. 28
Shadow-Breaking Step	Light-body technique costing 3 contribution points. 28
Cloud-Rolling Saber	A flowing-cloud iron saber costing 10 contribution points. 28
Eagle Claw Technique	Bare-handed martial art effective against demons and monsters; costs 30 contribution points. 28
Demon Extermination Thunder	A consumable capable of killing an Innate Realm demon; costs 20 contribution points each. 141
Deputy Commander intervention	A one-move intervention by a Youzhou Deputy Commander can be exchanged for 1,000 contribution points. 28
Earth-tier cultivation method	The incomplete Nine Heavens Divine Thunder True Essence costs 1,000 contribution points. 80
Return to Truth Pill	Allows a practitioner to change cultivation methods; costs 2,000 contribution points. 80

Demon hunters and sect disciples can trade demon corpses for money, but they cannot access the division's contribution-point exchange system. 27

Cultivation manuals and secret techniques obtained through the division are protected against unauthorized transmission; recipients are implanted with a restriction that kills them if they leak the material. 27

Equipment and Security Measures

• Demon Seeking Mirror — Detects a wanted target's trace, warns the local office, and transmits the target's location to headquarters for a Demon Slaying Marquis response. 188
• Cloud-Rolling Saber — Standardly recognized weapon associated with division officers and used by its personnel in combat. 69 103
• Demon Slaying Sword — A specialized weapon and inheritance used by Ji Zhanxie; it increases his effectiveness against demons. 427
• Anti-demon sound methods — The division developed sound-based measures that provoke instinctive discomfort and distraction in demons. 427
• Talismans and explosives — Officers can use specialized talismans and exchanged tools to fight demons above their cultivation level. 141 398

Internal Rules

The division treats collusion with the Demon Race as a capital offense, regardless of the offender's value or status. 221

Its leadership is barred from coveting subordinates' personal trump cards or forcing them to disclose their secrets. Violators are imprisoned in the division's celestial prison. 421

The organization also monitors dangerous internal corruption. Promising geniuses who collude with powerful families or seek division secrets for personal advancement may have their cultivation crippled and be reduced to ordinary status. 502

Major Incidents

Qiulin County Investigation

The division investigated Qiulin County after its demon-kill record proved abnormally low: while other Youzhou counties killed at least two hundred demons annually, Qiulin's best year recorded only twenty-five. 59

Centurion Gao Shenghan uncovered that County Magistrate Lin Youwei was a Myriad Demon Kingdom spy who had ordered demons not to disturb Qiulin County, allowing him to fabricate a record of effective governance. 59

Following Shen Lin's elimination of Lin Youwei and Black Wind Stronghold, Gao Shenghan accepted Shen Lin into the division through an exceptional-entry channel. 75

Youzhou Infiltration

Yan Zehong, a former Youzhou Thousand Household who defected to the Qingqiu Clan, used a self-destructing clone to destroy the Youzhou office's Demon Seeking Mirror. 188

The incident exposed the danger of Demon Race infiltration: other hidden agents in Youzhou simultaneously attacked important figures and self-detonated after their network was exposed. 96

Response to Regional Demon Outbreaks

When demonic activity surged across Youzhou, local counties were unable to receive timely support because the division lacked available personnel. 172

Yan Zeyu subsequently assembled the Youzhou office for an immediate campaign against a planned demonic ambush targeting Qiulin County. 174

War Against the Myriad Demon Kingdom

After the Myriad Demon Kingdom invaded Lingzhou and massacred a county, Great Wei ordered the division to halt existing missions, recall its squads, and have every prefectural Thousand Household clear demons from their jurisdiction. 442

The division's squads were assigned infiltration and assassination duties while Great Wei's army advanced into the Myriad Demon Kingdom along three routes. 442

Relations

• Great Wei Dynasty — The division serves as Great Wei's principal demon-slaying institution and operates alongside the imperial military during national campaigns. 58 442
• Demon Slaying Marquis — Elite force directly commanded by the division's highest leadership. 236
• Myriad Demon Kingdom — Primary hostile power; its agents have infiltrated local government and the division itself. 59 96
• Demon Hunters — Independent cultivators who may accept division missions and exchange demon corpses for resources. 209
• Patrol Inspection Division — A separate county-level force established to contain demon outbreaks; its armored troops and crossbows can handle lesser threats but are distinct from the Demon Suppression Division. 6 7
