As Li Xuanxiao flew above the Demon Slayer Division, his brow furrowed.

In his sight, a faint crimson mist was swirling in the center of a certain area within the Demon Slayer Division!

Is there demonic energy?

Ever since he began practicing Buddhist martial arts, he had become extremely sensitive to such things.

The "My Buddha Illuminates Seal" could not only be actively released but also possessed passive abilities.

For example, it allowed the practitioner to see things that others could not.

It was like having a heavenly eye!

And the other martial art, "Pure Lotus Bloom," was no less impressive!

Not only did it make him immune to all evil, but it could also actively expel demonic energy and heal the injuries of his allies, restoring their condition to a certain extent.

As his martial arts realm improved, the effects became even more astonishing.

It could directly remove all debuffs and even perform abilities similar to resetting one's status.

Li Xuanxiao had tried casting it once and was immediately shocked by its effects!

Perhaps if he reached the Sublimity Realm, this martial art could truly achieve an effect similar to instantly restoring full health from a critically low state!

He couldn't help but marvel at the profundity of Buddhist teachings. While the Buddha's hairstyle was questionable, he had some real talent in other areas!

He immediately swooped down from the air, his dazzling and ostentatious rainbow light attracting the attention of many.

"Who is that, showing off so much?"

"So arrogant, I feel like he's mocking me!"

"I thought I, Long Tao, was invincible in the art of showing off, but who is this subordinate general?"

As his feet touched the ground, the rainbow light instantly dissipated, and Li Xuanxiao headed straight for the area emitting the demonic energy.

He made his way through the Demon Slayer Division, turning left and right, only to discover that the demonic energy was emanating from within the Patrol Hall.

He slowly approached the entrance of the Patrol Hall but was stopped by the guards. "Which hall are you from? What business do you have here?"

Taking out his identity Jade Token, Li Xuanxiao politely said, "Lord Ling Yan and Lady Si Miaoyin sent me."

The guards looked at the Jade Token, their faces showing a hint of suspicion, but they still let him pass.

Li Xuanxiao then strode directly to the entrance of the main hall within the Patrol Hall.

At a glance, he saw stretchers laid out on the ground. From his perspective, a faint crimson color was slowly seeping from their corpses.

And the person surrounded by several individuals next to the stretchers had a much more concentrated crimson color!

What he had seen earlier from high in the sky was likely emanating from this person.

Li Xuanxiao's arrival also drew the attention of many.

Si Miaoyin's eyes lit up. "Li Xuanxiao? What are you doing here!"

"Weren't you out on a mission?"

Si Miaoyin had later sought out Li Xuanxiao, wanting to persuade him to change his mind and not waste his talent by idling away his time in the Mission Hall.

However, she was informed that Li Xuanxiao had taken on three Profound Realm level missions in one go.

While surprised, she was also pleased. It seemed Li Xuanxiao wasn't trying to be lazy; he had chosen the Mission Hall for other reasons!

Ling Yan glanced at Li Xuanxiao, curled his lips slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

Many other martial artists had no impression of Li Xuanxiao and were all wondering why he had suddenly appeared here.

"Li Xuanxiao from the Mission Hall, greetings to the Hall Master, Deputy General Yang, and all esteemed lords and colleagues..."

Li Xuanxiao bowed politely.

But many around him showed disdain in their eyes.

The Mission Hall?

That retirement hall filled with slackers and loafers?

Si Miaoyin immediately explained Li Xuanxiao's identity to the Hall Master of the Patrol Hall.

The Hall Master of the Patrol Hall nodded. "Since you're here, come in."

Li Xuanxiao thanked them again and immediately entered the hall, finding a spot to stand.

After some inquiries, he quickly understood the current situation.

A group of physical damage dealers had encountered demons with magical output.

Previously, they could compensate with numbers, but now their numerical advantage was gone.

Therefore, they were at a loss and had fallen into a stalemate.

Li Xuanxiao's lips curved slightly. If you can't do it, I can!

He was currently practicing Buddhist martial arts.

And Buddhist martial arts were considered a relatively balanced type.

While not particularly outstanding in any single aspect, he was genuinely skilled in both martial arts and spells.

He possessed nearly every offensive, defensive, and recovery method, making him a true all-rounder!

Furthermore, Buddhist teachings held a certain power to restrain these bizarre demonic arts.

He had a certain ability to counter many of these strange techniques.

This situation was a perfect match for his skills!

He was almost the ideal candidate!

"I can't hesitate any longer. It's been quite some time since the news reached us."

"If we wait any longer, more surrounding cities will fall victim to the demons!"

"Whether we gather martial artists for a siege or I go myself, a decision must be made now!"

After the Hall Master of the Patrol Hall finished speaking, he was about to issue an order.

However, Li Xuanxiao raised his hand.

The Hall Master of the Patrol Hall frowned, displeased at being interrupted. "What is it?"

Li Xuanxiao stepped forward from the crowd. "I want to give it a try!"

"I should be able to break through these demonic arts!"

As soon as he spoke, the surroundings erupted in an uproar.

"Where did this brash kid come from, spouting such nonsense here?"

"Even the Hall Master and Deputy General Yang are helpless, and you claim to have a solution?"

"The people from the Mission Hall are really going downhill! They used to just slack off, but now they're resorting to deception!"

Countless jeers and taunts rained down on him.

Even the Hall Master of the Patrol Hall frowned slightly, while Yang Zhiru silently stroked his teacup, a playful smile on his face.

Li Xuanxiao, however, remained unfazed by the doubts and ridicule, his expression calm and steady.

Si Miaoyin secretly tugged at Li Xuanxiao's sleeve and whispered, "Don't overexert yourself!"

"These aren't like the ordinary demons you've encountered before, with no special skills!"

"These are beings that even the Hall Master and the others are struggling with!"

"You're only at the first level of the Profound Realm. Even if your combat power is astonishing, you won't be able to intervene against such a threat."

Ling Yan also snorted, "Kid, what does the Patrol Hall's business have to do with you?"

"Go cool off somewhere else!"

Just then, everyone heard a scream.

The surviving Inspector immediately spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood.

His aura weakened further, clearly on the verge of collapse!

The physicians nearby were anxious but helpless; this was beyond their capabilities.

Even with all their efforts, they could only delay the inevitable.

Silence fell upon the crowd once more. The feeling of a comrade dying before their eyes while they were powerless was truly agonizing.

But Li Xuanxiao moved!

He quietly walked over to the surviving Inspector.

In Li Xuanxiao's eyes, scarlet demonic energy was constantly dissipating from the man's body.

The two physicians looked up at Li Xuanxiao. "What are you doing?"

Li Xuanxiao crouched down. "I can heal him!"

The two physicians immediately stopped him. "He's hanging by a thread right now, don't cause trouble here!"

"Even we professionals are helpless, what can you, an ordinary martial artist, possibly do?"

Li Xuanxiao chuckled and didn't waste time refuting them.

Actions speak louder than words!

Once he saved the man with his Buddhist arts, these people would naturally shut up!

As his True Qi surged, a solemn and majestic aura emanated from Li Xuanxiao's body.

The many martial artists present were all astonished. This True Qi was vastly different from their own!

It wasn't the sharp, killing intent commonly found in martial artists.

Instead, it was gentle, profound, and seemingly endless.

It seemed capable of soothing the violence, restlessness, and anxiety in people's hearts.

It contained a magical quality that calmed the mind.

The next second, a giant lotus platform appeared beneath the surviving Inspector.

The lotus platform lifted him, and the surrounding lotus leaves slowly bloomed, emitting a refreshing and profound aura.

Those scarlet demonic energies, as if encountering their natural predator, hissed and crackled, quickly being purified and dissipated.

Not only that, but as the lotus bloomed, a vibrant life force was also nurtured and slowly integrated into his body.

The surviving Inspectors let out groans of relief.

Their previously gray, death-filled faces were now recovering at a visible rate!
