Fang Qianyuan had little interest in these colleagues, so after a brief address, he dismissed them all, keeping only the chief clerk behind for the necessary handover.
The Azure Cloud Sect handled matters cleanly and efficiently. After the previous Team Captain was transferred away, he had left no loose ends, so there was no extra business to attend to.
Fang Qianyuan quickly settled into his role, formally taking command of this Heavenly Dao Alliance hunting squad.
The chief clerk said, "Young Master Fang, our Jiachen Team recently received a notice saying demons have been sighted around Floating Cloud Mountain to the northwest, wreaking havoc on the villages. We've been ordered to go slay them. When would you like to set out?"
"Around Floating Cloud Mountain?" At those words, something stirred in Fang Qianyuan's heart.
The chief clerk knew only half the story. This notice was clearly an arrangement made by his master and the sect, tailored specifically for him!
Probably not even the people of Heavenly Net Hall would learn anytime soon that the demon terrorizing those villages was none other than his intended new spirit creature-the Thunder Civet with the "Void-Piercing True Eyes"!
His master and the sect wanted him to take his men there as soon as he assumed command and subdue it.
That way, he could both complete the demon-slaying mission and acquire a brand-new spirit creature, gaining two rewards with one stroke.
"Slaying demons is our duty. Naturally, the sooner we go, the better!" Fang Qianyuan said at once.
The chief clerk suspected nothing. To him, Fang Qianyuan was a newly appointed official eager to earn merit.
He had already anticipated something like this.
"Then this humble subordinate wishes the Team Captain and all our fellow cultivators a smooth journey."
