Joining the Patrol

Elder Sun nodded slightly, "Since Taoist Master Songhe has said so, then naturally there's no problem. May I ask who this Young Master is...?"

Old Taoist Songhe slapped his forehead.

"Oh, I forgot. Qin, boy, let me introduce you. This is Sun Shang, Elder Sun. When you participate in the assessment, Elder Sun will be responsible for the assessment affairs."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bo quickly clasped his fist in salute.

"Junior Qin Bo greets Elder Sun."

Sun Shang widened his eyes, looking at Qin Bo.

"Taoist Master, are you saying this kid is the one participating in the Division's assessment this time?!"

"That's right, this old Taoist is his recommender."

Sun Shang looked at Qin Bo, then at the formal disciple who had been knocked down by Qin Bo's punch.

"Good kid, extraordinary strength! A formal disciple isn't even your match! What is your realm?"

"Junior is untalented, just broke through to Body Refining Completion!"

"No wonder, Body Refining's three stages, you've reached the last one. Xiao Yang didn't lose unfairly."

Old Taoist Songhe smiled and said from the side:

"This Qin boy is exceptionally talented and cultivates extremely diligently on normal days. He deserves to have achieved this. Moreover, he has rich practical experience. Although Xiao Yang's strength is also good, he is slightly inferior to Qin Bo."

There were some things he didn't dare to say.

If he were to reveal Qin Bo's record of personally killing an evil spirit before, the entire Demon Suppressing Division would probably flock to him.

Qin Bo said modestly:

"Elder Sun, Taoist Master Songhe is too kind. Qin Bo still has many shortcomings and needs to work hard to cultivate."

Sun Shang nodded slightly, his impression of Qin Bo improving a bit.

"Since that's the case, let's put this misunderstanding behind us. Qin Bo, since you have such strength, you should contribute to the Demon Suppressing Division in the future."

"Elder Sun, rest assured, Qin Bo will definitely do his best."

Qin Bo replied.

Yang Lei had a look of resentment on his face, and he looked very unconvinced with Qin Bo, but he didn't dare to show it.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Sun Shang left with his men.

Leaving Qin Bo and old Taoist Songhe behind.

Old Taoist Songhe looked at Qin Bo and smiled helplessly.

"You kid, you've caused such a commotion before even joining the Demon Suppressing Division. It seems that this Demon Suppressing Division won't be peaceful in the future."

"Taoist Master, I'm actually very gentle and won't cause trouble casually."

"Gentle?!"

Old Taoist Songhe glanced at Qin Bo with disdain.

You kid gentle!

How could you be associated with gentleness when you were hacking and killing anomalies with your saber?!

"Alright, now that you're here, go and receive a mission. The patrol team around the Demon Suppressing Division is short of manpower. Go and join in the fun."

"Forget it, I just beat one up. If I encounter others, I'm afraid it will be strenuous and unrewarding."

"You kid, don't worry. The Demon Suppressing Division values strength above all else. That kid deserved to be beaten by you."

"Okay then."

"Yes, let's go, I'll take you inside."

Old Taoist Songhe led Qin Bo into the interior of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Along the way, Qin Bo saw many Demon Suppressing Division disciples coming and going, each of them exuding an aura of competence and murderous intent.

Arriving at the mission reception area, Old Taoist Songhe said to the disciple in charge of registration:

"Xiao Li, arrange a patrol mission around the Demon Suppressing Division for this kid."

Xiao Li glanced at Qin Bo, then showed a look of embarrassment.

"Taoist Master, this... he's not a member of the Demon Suppressing Division, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

"Hey, Xiao Li, are you doubting this old Taoist?! This kid's strength is more than enough to join the Demon Suppressing Division, just waiting for the assessment."

"This..."

Suddenly, Xiao Li's movements paused, his expression became serious, and then he nodded in the air.

As if receiving some secret instructions.

He took a token from the shelf next to him and handed it to Qin Bo.

"Take this token, it's the proof of patrol."

"There's still one team that hasn't set off yet, you can go find them."

Old Taoist Songhe patted Qin Bo on the shoulder, "Kid, work hard. This patrol mission might bring you a lot of gains."

Qin Bo took the token, thanked Old Taoist Songhe and Xiao Li.

Then he turned to find the patrol team that had not yet set off.

The next moment, Zhao Ting appeared in front of the two.

"Division Master."

"Greetings, Division Master."

"No need for formalities."

At this point, Old Taoist Songhe understood why Xiao Li had changed so quickly; it turned out the Division Master had given the order.

"This kid Qin Bo is unusually strong. His vital energy alone is no worse than an average Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. He needs more training."

"Understood."

"Let's go, the last family has arrived. Prepare to strengthen the seal."

After speaking, he said to Old Taoist Songhe.

"He's here?! He's the only one missing."

Then the two walked towards the back.

Assembly point.

At this moment, Qin Bo slowly felt his way here, mainly because he wasn't familiar with the road.

Following Xiao Li's guidance, Qin Bo arrived at a remote courtyard of the Demon Suppressing Division and saw a group of people in Demon Suppressing Division uniforms organizing their equipment.

"Excuse me, are you the team responsible for the patrol? I'm Qin Bo, here to join you."

Qin Bo stepped forward and said.

Everyone looked up at Qin Bo.

One of them, a burly man with a scar on his face, sized Qin Bo up and said:

"You're Qin Bo? Heard you just beat up Yang Lei. You've got guts."

"I'm Zhao Hu, the captain of this patrol team. Since the higher-ups arranged for you to come, then let's go together. But you have to keep up, don't drag us down."

"Don't worry, I won't."

Qin Bo said confidently.

Zhao Hu nodded slightly, then turned to the other team members and shouted, "Hurry up, get your equipment ready, we're leaving immediately."

The team members quickly packed up their equipment. Zhao Hu waved his hand and led the patrol team towards the outskirts of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Qin Bo followed in the middle of the team, observing the surrounding environment and silently familiarizing himself with the team members.

Zhao Hu walked over at this moment.

"Tonight, we only need to be responsible for this street on the east side."

"But the entire street is interspersed with more than a dozen alleys, which is a bit complicated. Brother Qin, since you're the only one, you can only patrol two alleys by yourself."

"No problem, it's a small matter."

"Alright, it's not late yet, let's take a walk around the neighborhood first to familiarize ourselves with the overall situation. When it gets dark, we'll officially start patrolling."

Zhao Hu patted Qin Bo on the shoulder and said.

The group moved slowly along the street. Qin Bo noticed that most of the shops along the street had little business, and there were few pedestrians.

Occasionally, there were a few passers-by, but they were all in a hurry, seemingly deliberately avoiding this area.

"Captain Zhao, why is this place so deserted? Has it always been like this?"

Qin Bo couldn't help asking.

Zhao Hu smiled wryly.

"Alas, Yunzhou City has been uneasy recently. Rumors are spreading everywhere that anomalies are appearing, and that a fierce creature is about to be rescued. Everyone is panicking and doesn't dare to go out. This street used to be very lively."

Qin Bo's heart sank. It seemed that the crisis in Yunzhou City had already had a serious impact on the lives of the people.
