[Killed Body Tempering Realm Fox Demon, gained Merit +8, remaining Merit: 649]

Chen Bin didn't sheath his saber. Instead, he slashed at the other two Fox Demons.

"Not good!" Before the people in the hall could react, the demons were already split in half.

A dense demonic aura, like a breached flood, surged wildly from the wounds, instantly filling the entire hall.

Wang Sheng, looking down from above, had been staring intently at Chen Bin and saw this scene clearly.

The speed and power of this saber strike made his pupils contract sharply, and he was secretly shocked.

He believed that under these circumstances and at this distance, he too might not have been able to react in time.

With the demon in the middle dead, the remaining six moved at the same time. Like startled birds, they each fled desperately in different directions.

"Stop them!" The Demon Suppression Division members finally snapped back to reality, shouting loudly and chasing after the fleeing demons. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Bin's figure flashed, and he pursued like an arrow loosed from a bow.

The two Fox Demons who had split up and fled saw this and immediately ran at full speed, hastily removing the "Red Rope Knots" from their hands.

In an instant, the demonic aura on their bodies was no longer restrained. It surged out like a volcanic eruption, their bodies rapidly growing taller, their fur erupting. In the blink of an eye, they revealed their true forms and fled without regard for anything else.

However, Chen Bin's saber was faster. The saber light flashed past, its cold glint sharp and piercing.

Almost at the same time, the heads of the two Fox Demons fell to the ground, blood spraying like a fountain and dyeing the ground red.

[Killed Body Tempering Realm Fox Demon, gained Merit +10, remaining Merit: 660]

Chen Bin sheathed his saber with a calm expression, as if the intense battle he had just experienced was merely a trivial matter.

He ignored the four "Red Name" fugitives because he knew that in Wanbao County, the strength of the Demon Suppression Division was more than enough to apprehend them easily.

As expected, the four had not run far before they were surrounded by the Demon Suppression Division members and subdued in a few moves.

After being captured, the four immediately knelt and begged for mercy, "Sir, we are innocent. We are not demons."

Their voices were filled with fear and panic.

If they hadn't seen the situation turn sour and knelt to beg for mercy, they would have been chopped into mincemeat on the spot.

"If you're not demons, why were you running?"

Li Kun kicked them angrily and shouted, "Someone, get their blood tested!"

Although the Demon Sealing Ornament can seal Demonic Power, it can also fail under certain circumstances.

For example, if a finger is chopped off, and the finger is demonized, or if the flowing blood carries demonic energy, the person can be identified as a demon.

This extreme method of verification is usually only used in emergencies during a Demonic Calamity.

Chen Bin remembered that there had been dozens of instances in history where the entire city underwent blood checks, and the scenes were extremely tragic.

Chen Bin bent down and used the tip of his saber to pick up the Red Rope Knot from the ground. A small jade pendant hung from the exquisite red rope.

As soon as the Red Rope Knot entered his hand, a strange energy surged into his body through the saber tip, attempting to seal his flesh and blood power.

Chen Bin's eyes turned cold. He used his saber to flick it up and toss it to Li Kun, who was acting arrogantly beside him, and ordered without politeness:

"This is their Demon Sealing Ornament. Search them."

"Understood." Li Kun took the order and immediately directed the officers to take action.

"Captain Li, these four." An officer pointed to the four people who had been captured.

Li Kun's face darkened, and he sternly shouted, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Yes!" The officers immediately took the people to carry out the blood check task.

Chen Bin stood to the side, watching it all with indifferent eyes.

[Body Tempering Realm Demon Person, Merit gained: 3]

[Body Tempering Realm Demon Person, Merit gained: 4]

[Body Tempering Realm Demon Person, Merit gained: 2]

[Body Tempering Realm Demon Person, Merit gained: 3]

He knew in his heart that although these four were not demons, they were by no means good people. People with a Red Name were all bad guys.

Moreover, what was this "Demon Person"?

He had never heard of such a thing!

Liu Wei, standing beside him, watched the bloody scene, his Adam's apple involuntarily bobbing, his face full of terror.

Chen Bin glanced at him and said coldly, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"I'm leaving now!" Liu Wei felt as if he had been granted amnesty and turned to hurriedly rush out of the Jiaofang Si.

That Chen Bin guy draws his saber and kills, he's really not human.

I need to get closer to him.

Having witnessed the entire process, Wang Sheng's understanding of Chen Bin's abilities deepened.

He no longer hesitated, leaping from the second floor and landing steadily before Chen Bin.

"Captain Wang," Chen Bin called out.

"You're very good!" Wang Sheng smiled with admiration, his eyes full of appreciation.

He scanned the surroundings. The courtyard was filled with officers and captains from the Demon Suppression Division; more than half of the division had gathered here.

In the entire Wanbao County, those on leave and those on duty had almost all arrived.

He recalled Li Kun's panicked return to the Demon Suppression Division to report the discovery of over a dozen demons, and how everyone had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Fortunately, everyone was gathered at the Demon Suppression Division today to eat tiger meat, allowing them to arrive so quickly.

"Thank you for your praise, Captain," Chen Bin nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You have a treasure that can detect who is a demon, right?" Wang Sheng asked directly, staring intently at Chen Bin.

Chen Bin was about to ask what a 'demon person' was.

But since Wang Sheng had asked this question, he had to evade it.

"No!" Chen Bin shook his head firmly, his tone decisive.

"Since that's the case," Wang Sheng thought of the two dead scions on the second floor and secretly made a major decision, "Those two are dead, and Wanbao County will be in chaos. Do you mind playing big?"

"Oh?" Chen Bin raised an eyebrow, looking at him. "What are your orders, Captain?"

Wang Sheng looked at Chen Bin with determination. "Turn the entire Wanbao County upside down and dig out all those demons. You'll get half the credit, how about it?"

Chen Bin gazed at Wang Sheng, his eyes scrutinizing. "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Wang Sheng said earnestly. "I came here from the Hundred Households Office to slay demons and eliminate evil."

"I can do it, but I have one condition," Chen Bin said gravely.

"Let's hear it first!" Wang Sheng didn't refuse.

"I don't care about the credit, but when we capture those demons, I must be the one to kill them personally."

Chen Bin said word by word, his tone resolute.

"Is that all?" Wang Sheng chuckled. "In that case, it's all yours! However, if they resist and are killed by us, that doesn't count."

"Of course!" Chen Bin didn't mind. "I don't want these brothers to die or get injured."

"Deal!"

The two exchanged a look and made their decision.

A larger-scale demon-extermination operation would be launched in Wanbao County.
