Assessment Content

Hearing the City Lord's speculation, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The old Taoist frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "City Lord, if the Netherworld truly intends to do this, we must reinforce the sealing formation as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events."

"It's just that the fierce creature has been suppressed for many years. Although there is a sealing formation, every time the Netherworld stirs, it seems to affect it to some extent. Our sealing formation is probably damaged to varying degrees."

The City Lord nodded slightly, his gaze turned towards the direction of Yunzhou City, his eyes firm:

"No matter what, this sealing formation must not be broken. If that fierce creature is born, the entire Yunzhou territory will surely be plunged into misery."

"This time, we're counting on your spiritual treasures. As long as we reinforce the sealing formation again, we can suppress it for a few more years!"

"Rest assured, this time we will all do our best!"

City Lord Zhou nodded.

"Let's go, follow me back to the city to discuss the specific sealing matters."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

A stream of blood-colored energy enveloped the group and flew towards Yunzhou City.

The blood-colored energy carried everyone, speeding towards Yunzhou City like a shooting star.

Qin Bo felt this power and was very envious.

To be able to fly into the sky and escape into the earth.

Especially the blood-colored giant palm that killed the ghost crows, its power was extremely vast.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and the City Guards all looked serious.

The patrolling footsteps were hurried, and the entire mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

City Lord Zhou led everyone into the council hall, where several respected cultivators and the heads of various departments were already waiting.

When everyone saw City Lord Zhou return, they stood up and saluted.

"City Lord, the appearance of the Netherworld anomaly this time seems extremely ominous. I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"

A gray-haired cultivator wearing a purple robe was the first to speak.

City Lord Zhou's expression was solemn as he slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, scanning the crowd before saying:

"The Netherworld is stirring frequently this time, most likely trying to take advantage of the loosening of the sealing formation beneath Yunzhou City to rescue that fierce creature."

"We must reinforce the sealing formation as soon as possible to prevent the Netherworld's conspiracy from succeeding."

"But City Lord, that sealing formation has been around for ages. Although it has been reinforced many times before, it has now been greatly damaged by the Netherworld's movements. With our current strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely stabilize the sealing formation."

Another cultivator, a burly man with a face full of stubble, looked worried.

City Lord Zhou frowned slightly, lost in thought.

At this moment, the old Taoist who had been standing aside spoke up:

"City Lord, perhaps we can try to find the legendary 'Prison Suppressing Divine Stone'."

"I've heard that this stone possesses powerful Evil suppressing power. If we can find it, it will definitely greatly enhance the power of the sealing formation."

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

However, City Lord Zhou shook his head:

"The Prison Suppressing Divine Stone is just a legendary treasure. Whether it really exists is still unknown, and even if it does, how easy would it be to find? Time is tight, we cannot place all our hopes on this."

"Also, everyone, don't panic. These few are descendants of the predecessors who set up the original sealing formation. They have already brought their clan's spiritual treasure to assist in suppressing the fierce creature."

Upon hearing City Lord Zhou's words, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Taoist Master Songhe and the others.

"This... who is this?"

"Taoist Master Songhe of the Heavenly One Sect."

"Chen Song of the Blood Sword Chen Family!"

"Du Juan of the Soul Severing Du Family!"

Everyone gasped upon hearing these thunderous names.

The Heavenly One Sect was known throughout the world for its exquisite talismans and spells, and Taoist Master Lingxiao was a leader among them;

The Blood Sword Chen Family excelled at fierce and powerful swordsmanship, and their vital energy sword was a sharp weapon for slaying demons, their strength not to be underestimated;

The Soul Severing Du Family's unique Soul Refining Banner was feared by all.

Then they looked at Qin Bo on the side, wondering which family this young man was from?!

Qin Bo was stunned and quickly waved his hand.

"I'm not, I'm here to participate in the Demon Suppressing Division's assessment!"

"Huh?! You're here to take the assessment?"

One of the middle-aged men frowned slightly and looked at Qin Bo.

City Lord Zhou spoke in a timely manner.

"This is Director Zhao Ting of the Demon Suppressing Division of Yunzhou City!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bo hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Junior Qin Bo greets Director."

"Director, this old Taoist is this young man's recommender."

The old Taoist Songhe spoke from the side.

Zhao Ting nodded slightly, his eyes like torches as he sized up Qin Bo, his gaze seeming to penetrate Qin Bo's every thought.

"Since you were recommended by the old Taoist Songhe, you must have some ability. However, the Demon Suppressing Division's selection has always been strict. Whether you can pass the assessment depends on yourself."

Qin Bo's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Director, rest assured, Qin Bo will definitely do his best."

At this time, the crisis in Yunzhou City had not yet been resolved.

City Lord Zhou looked at the sky and said with a solemn expression:

"Everyone, the Netherworld is acting frequently this time, and we cannot be negligent in the slightest. Strengthening the seal is important, but we must also guard against their other conspiracies."

Old Taoist Songhe stroked his beard and pondered, "What the City Lord says is very true. According to my speculation, the Netherworld may also send people to secretly destroy the spiritual veins in the city, thereby weakening the foundation of Yunzhou City."

Zhao Ting frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"If that's the case, then we must immediately strengthen the protection of the spiritual vein. I will arrange for the elite of the Demon Suppressing Division to patrol near the spiritual vein."

After everyone received their orders, they quickly dispersed and arranged their respective affairs.

Qin Bo looked at the busy figures and his heart was full of eagerness to prove himself as soon as possible.

He turned to look at the old Taoist Songhe and asked, "Senior, I wonder what the Demon Suppressing Division's assessment is like?"

The old Taoist Songhe smiled slightly and said: Simple!

"First is the most basic talent and bone structure test."

"Second is actual combat!"

The old Taoist Songhe continued:

"This talent and bone structure test is to see if you have the potential for long-term development in the Demon Suppressing Division."

"What the Demon Suppressing Division faces are all kinds of Evil spirits from the Netherworld. Without excellent talent and bone structure, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with them in the future."

"This test will be done through a special spirit crystal, which can sense the operation of the spiritual power meridians in your body, the depth of your foundation, and thus determine the quality of your talent."

Qin Bo nodded slightly, thinking silently in his heart. Although he had never cultivated, since it was produced by the System, it shouldn't be too bad!

The old Taoist Songhe continued, "As for the actual combat assessment, it's even simpler.

"You only need to complete the task of killing anomalies, and it will be considered passed based on the degree of completion."

Then he explained in detail: "This task of killing anomalies will assign anomaly targets of different levels according to your respective strengths."

"You just need to complete the task!"

Qin Bo nodded, indicating that he understood.

Killing anomalies and such trivial matters are nothing!

His purpose here is for anomalies!
