Lu Changgeng's Request

You're familiar with the spear behind me too?

Yang Xiao found the familiar words somewhat strange.

Pei Xuance, whom he had encountered once at Guanlan River, seemed to have had a past and reputation far more astonishing than he had imagined.

If everyone he met so far had not treated him with goodwill, he would have started considering whether to hide the Army-Breaking Spear.

Whether to wrap it in cloth or put it in a wooden case would need some thought...

Yan Tieyi froze, then immediately understood.

"General Lu must be joking. This is Yang Xiao. Like me, he trained in the Demon-Slaying Battalion. White Ape Lord, one of the Seven Demons of She Mountain, was killed by him."

"As for the other matter, Nine-Poison Scorpion Lord of Black Miasma Ravine was also slain by Deputy General Yang. The injury I suffered can barely be called helping to cover his flank."

"Oh? Two Mysterious Core demons."

Lu Changgeng raised an eyebrow.

As one of the most outstanding deputy generals in the Demon-Slaying Battalion, several Demon Suppression Generals had long intended to recruit him once he stepped into the Mysterious Core Realm.

The words coming from his mouth sounded as if he had placed himself in an inferior position.

Yet there was not the slightest trace of displeasure on his face, showing that the other party had truly earned his recognition.

His gaze fell on Yang Xiao, looking him up and down.

"Aperture-Opening Realm perfection?"

"You killed a Core-Condensation Realm perfection expert?"

"Yes." Yang Xiao cupped his hands.

Lu Changgeng stared at him for several breaths, then suddenly smiled.

He rose from the seat of honor, walked down the steps, came before Yang Xiao, and solemnly cupped his hands.

"Nine-Poison Scorpion Lord had occupied Black Miasma Ravine for a thousand years.
