"Old demon, fight me!" Lu Yang gripped his saber in both hands and stood tall above the clouds, his voice rumbling like thunder, his fighting spirit blazing.
His towering figure, his sheer eagerness for battle—it was exactly like Wu Shentong back then!
Lu Yang had already made up his mind: if he failed this mission, so be it.
Joining the Shanhetal would certainly be good, but if he couldn't join, it wouldn't be much of a loss to him.
At worst, he would take his identity token and join the Demon Extermination Department in Qing Province, returning to his old line of work!
He only needed to send a letter to Wanlin Prefecture. Lu Yang believed that Huang Jiang, still the head of the Demon Extermination Department there, would be more than willing to recommend him to the Qing Province branch.
If they really pushed him too far, he would simply bring out the High-grade Saint Weapon, the Thunderclap Saber, and fight the Green-Eyed Golden Eagle to the death. If he could kill it, that would be a huge haul of Experience Points.
By then, he could quickly break free of the Great Grandmaster realm and ascend straight to Supreme Great Grandmaster!
Whether he joined the Shanhetal or not no longer mattered.
Across all of Qing Province, the strongest were no higher than the King level.

Supreme Great Grandmasters were the strongest figures in Qing Province, at least in the open!
If the Shanhetal didn't want him, there were plenty of powers that would.
Even if Lu Yang had no intention of returning to the Demon Extermination Department, the Void Blade Sect was an excellent choice.
It had a fine environment
