History
Demons are scattered throughout Xunyang Prefecture, making the Evil Extermination Division’s hold on the region difficult to maintain. During the Cultivator Hunting Assembly, demons gather to hunt cultivators; the Division assigns generals to guard threatened sects, including Zizai Gate 216 222. Its officers also face internal treachery and competition for influence 219 254.
A larger struggle forms around the Divine Soul Refinement Technique. Situ Shen supports its use, while Jin Fengyu’s side opposes an experiment that could kill half the prefecture’s people. Higher powers treat Xunyang as a testing ground, and the opposing sides prepare for a final battle in the Ancient Battlefield Ruins 412 423. Chief Prefecture Head Chen Liuyun returns to oversee the conflict and prevent it from devastating the prefecture, though he cannot openly take part 423.
After the Final Battle, the Division eliminates or drives out the remaining demons and False Gods. Chen arranges continued oversight of the Martial World factions before leaving for Skycloud Circuit with Qin An; Jin Fengyu takes over as acting Chief Prefecture Head 466 467.
