Demon Suppression Division Arrives

Chu Feng and Chen Shi Tou carried Afu's remains out, heading to Afu's home.

It was an ordinary dwelling in the southern part of the city, with a crooked courtyard wall and messy thatch on the roof, showing visible holes.

Afu was a well-known poor resident of the area. He had many sisters and was the seventh child in his family.

Because he was good friends with Chen Shi Tou, he got a job as a waiter at the restaurant, which allowed his sister, who was about to be sold to a brothel, to have the conditions for marriage.

His siblings also had a little extra income every few days and were filled with hope for the future. Who knew that after only a few days of good living, Chen Shi Tou was killed by a demonic beast...

And now, Afu was dead.

Back to square one, naturally there was wailing and crying, with sobs rising and falling.

It was unclear whether they were mourning the death of a loved one or the shattering of their happy lives...

Only when Chen Shi Tou promised them that they would send another person to fill Afu's vacancy did Afu's family let them leave.

Chen Shi Tou was not angry. Living in the south of the city, where poor families were everywhere, this was something he had long been accustomed to. Moreover, it was the only thing he could do for Afu.

At this moment, on the street where Chu Feng and the demonic beast had fought.

Two old men, both around fifty years old, chatted while tidying up the collapsed courtyard wall.

"When warriors fight, it's always the common folk who suffer. Old Li, your courtyard wall and windows are damaged; rebuilding them must cost a lot, right?"

"You didn't even dare to come out and watch, did you? Last night, it was clearly a martial arts expert hunting a fox demon! If my wife hadn't stopped me, I would have shouted a few times to liven things up for that esteemed person..."

The one replying was boasting about his courage, without any intention of answering the other's question.

Old Li couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, "Can I tell you that the great hero from yesterday gave me twelve taels of silver?"

"Who says I didn't know? I also know there were two fox demons, and one was killed by that person while the other escaped..." Old Wang said indignantly.

Seeing Old Li change the subject, he immediately muttered to himself.

"Old Li is all smiles, he doesn't look like his courtyard wall was destroyed at all. Perhaps he also received silver last night. Could it be ten taels of silver too?"

Seeing that his neighbor Old Li had also benefited, Old Wang instantly felt that the ten taels of silver in his hand wasn't as good anymore...

Just as the two were lost in thought, the county magistrate, leading a group of yamen runners and constables, hurried over.

To the surprise of Old Wang and Old Li, the magistrate of Yong'an County was not in the primary position.

This high and mighty magistrate of Yong'an City was currently speaking in a low voice next to a tall, powerfully built man with bulging muscles.

This person was Li Xuanhai, a Viscera Refinement Warrior sent by the Demon Suppression Division.

"A demonic beast appeared last night, and this is where it appeared. However, according to the testimonies of the common folk, the demonic beast was already driven away by a mysterious person who passed by..."

Yang Chenwu called Old Wang and Old Li over and asked, "What did you see during the fight yesterday?"

Old Wang and Old Li exchanged glances, then knelt down tremblingly and said, "Sir, we didn't dare to come out at all. We hid under the bed, terrified the whole time. What we said just now was just our guess based on the sounds..."

Yang Chenwu: "..."

At this moment, a young man behind Li Xuanhai stepped forward. After a brief examination, he replied to Li Xuanhai.

"Master, judging by the combat traces, there should have been two Bone Forging Realm warriors and two Fourth Realm fox demons at the scene last night. One fox demon was killed, and the other escaped, while the warriors were unharmed!"

"En, I already know. I didn't expect such a remote place to have a warrior capable of killing a demonic beast of the same realm. It's truly rare!"

Upon hearing Li Xuanhai's words, Yang Chenwu immediately replied, "Lord Li, I think I know the identity of that warrior who killed the demonic beast."

Seeing Li Xuanhai's questioning gaze, he dared not keep him in suspense and revealed Chu Feng's information.

Li Xuanhai nodded, "Being able to kill a demonic warrior, this young fellow named Chu Feng can be considered a genius..."

At this moment, the young man standing beside Li Xuanhai curled his lips, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Li Xuanhai seemed to notice the disdain from the young man beside him and smiled, "Yun Fei, as a direct descendant of the Lu Clan of Jizhou, you naturally don't need to pay attention. But for this small Yong'an City, it's already like a phoenix flying out of a chicken coop."

Saying this, Li Xuanhai turned to Yang Chenwu and said, "Where is this genius of Yong'an City? The Fourth Realm demonic beast that appeared last night might be a minion sent by the Bat Demon. I have some matters to inquire about."

Yang Chenwu did not dare to delay and quickly replied, "That Chu Feng is at the Hongyun Restaurant on the central street. He works as a butcher in the kitchen."

"The number one genius likes to be a butcher. That's quite an interesting hobby..." Li Xuanhai said with a chuckle.

Yang Chenwu didn't care; instead, he felt happy for Chu Feng. This Viscera Refinement Warrior was a renowned demonic beast hunter in the Demon Suppression Division. If Chu Feng could be valued by him, even a little guidance might benefit him for a lifetime.

Hongyun Restaurant...

The restaurant's main hall was bustling with noise, filled with the heroic laughter of warriors.

Since the influence of the Fang Family and Wang Family had been eliminated, and only the Li Family remained as a powerful clan, the common folk of the city had entered a period of happiness.

No longer fearing the reckless charges of the young masters from influential families, nor the extortionate demands of gang members, and certainly not the landlords who used to bleed them dry.

At this moment, in the restaurant's main hall, a young man said, "Do you know who made our lives peaceful and no longer fearful of those influential families and gangs?"

"Who? Wasn't it the county magistrate?" someone asked in surprise.

"Of course not," the young man retorted.

Seeing all eyes focused on him, the young man felt the adoration of the crowd and became a little carried away.

"Heh heh, I hid and watched the entire battle between the great hero Chu and the Fang Family head that day."

"Great Hero Chu displayed his might, beating the old Fang Family demon until it peed its pants, and finally severed its head with a single saber strike..."

As these words were spoken, everyone present erupted in excitement.

The young man raised his hand to quiet them, and the crowd immediately fell silent. All eyes were on him, eager to hear what other earth-shattering gossip he had!

The young man, as expected, did not disappoint and revealed more.

"I also know where that Great Hero Chu is. He's in this very restaurant's kitchen, hiding his fame and name. Truly noble and upright, unburdened by fame or fortune. A role model for us all!"

The old shopkeeper sat at the front counter, a smile on his face.

Let it get lively. It wasn't in vain that I intentionally had people spread rumors. The restaurant's business will likely be even more booming in the future...

"A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, what kind of genius could they possibly have seen??"

A voice like thunder exploded in the restaurant's main hall. Everyone froze for a moment before turning in unison towards the restaurant entrance.
