Ya Xingqu at the Garrison Residence: Reporting News of the Demon Race

Inside "Demon-Suppressing Pass," a bustling and peaceful scene remained, seemingly unaffected by the various battles and struggles in the mountains beyond the pass.

This eased the tension that Kong Wenxuan and his companion had been feeling.

After returning to their lodgings in "Demon-Suppressing Pass" and resting for a while to recover, the two began to act separately.

Kong Wenxuan went to the garrison headquarters in "Demon-Suppressing Pass" to pay his respects to the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ya Household was stationed there, and informed him of the information that signs of the Demon Race had been discovered among the Five Peaks of the southern mountains.

Meanwhile, Uncle Kong Yushuo planned to seek out some old friends and connections to inquire about intelligence and information inside and outside "Demon-Suppressing Pass".

Upon leaving the pass, the two were ambushed by wild Bloodline Lineage from beyond the pass at the first alternative location. It was unclear whether they were taking the blame for someone else or being provoked. Then, at the third alternative location, they unexpectedly discovered traces of the Demon Race at the five mountain peaks.

These are not ordinary events. The uncle plans to look for the connections and intelligence network he has developed in this "Demon-Suppressing Pass" over the years, and try to find out if he can discover any useful information or clues.

At the very least, we must find a way to uncover the mastermind behind making the Kong Household take the blame, or the one who sowed discord between the Kong Household and those wild Bloodline Lineage.

The "Guardian's Mansion" is still located in the center of "Demon-Suppressing Pass", but its architectural style is very different from the past. The carvings and murals on the buildings of this new "Guardian's Mansion" are all of various Fire Crow images, instead of the previous Cuckoo images, indicating the identity of the new owner.

Upon arriving at the "Governor's Residence," Kong Wenxuan presented his visiting card and was quickly welcomed into the residence.

After all, the Kong Household is now a "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, which the "Fire Crow" Ya Household values highly. Therefore, the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ya Household stationed at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" received him directly after seeing his letter of invitation.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ya Household who is now stationed at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" is the middle-aged man from the Ya Household who went to the Du Household family to force them to abdicate with Ya Zhaoying. He has a full head of red hair and is called Ya Xingqu. Ya Zhaoying calls him her third uncle.

"Greetings, Garrison Commander Ya!" Kong Wenxuan greeted the other party upon seeing him.

"Haha... We all belong to the ' True Spirit Lineage,' and we've fought together before, so there's no need for such formalities. Just address each other as fellow Daoist." Ya Xingqu waved his hand with a smile, appearing quite warm towards Kong Wenxuan, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Kong, it's been three years since we last met. Your imposing presence and sharp edge are even more pronounced. It seems you've made considerable progress in your cultivation over these three years!"

"Fellow Daoist Ya, you flatter me," Kong Wenxuan said modestly. "I've only just stabilized my Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation; it's far from the ever-growing prestige you possess, Fellow Daoist."

After exchanging a few words, before Kong Wenxuan could mention the whereabouts of the Demon Race, Ya Xingqu asked first, "Fellow Daoist Kong, has your Kong Household already made a decision about coming here this time?"

"Are you planning to establish Peacock County Seat at this ' Demon-Suppressing Pass,' or are you planning to carve out territory in the mountains to the south and build Peacock County?"

"If the decision is made to choose this ' Demon-Suppressing Pass,' I will immediately give the order to make room for your Kong Household."

"If you choose to expand your territory in the southern mountains, please feel free to ask if you need any assistance. Our Ya Household will do everything in our power to help."

"If you feel your combat strength is insufficient, our Ya Household can also provide a ' Fire Crow Dao Soldiers ' team to assist you!"

Ya Xingqu was extremely enthusiastic, seemingly even more so than the Kong Household, regarding the Kong Household's expansion of territory.

Seemingly noticing Kong Wenxuan's confusion, Ya Xingqu smiled and said, "Back then at this ' Demon-Suppressing Pass,' we and my niece Zhaoying were ambushed by Demon Race and were in imminent danger. It was only thanks to Fellow Daoist Kong that we were able to save the day by slaying over a thousand Demon Beast in a short time."

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Ya has saved our lives; how can we not repay that debt?"

"My Zhaoying has already given instructions that as long as your Kong Household decides to expand your territory, our Ya Household will definitely provide full assistance to repay the life-saving grace we owe you."

Kong Wenxuan heard this explanation, but he still couldn't help but have some doubts.

But at this moment, he could only suppress his doubts and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ya. Our Kong Household is indeed preparing to expand our Lineage territory soon, but we will not choose ' Demon-Suppressing Pass '; we plan to expand into new territory in the southern mountains."

"Are you planning to expand your territory in the southern mountains?" Upon hearing this, Ya Xingqu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in approval, "Excellent! That's a good choice! The southern mountains are rich in resources and have fertile spiritual lands. Choosing to expand the Lineage territory there is undoubtedly a good decision."

"Fellow Daoist Kong, have you decided on the location for expanding your territory? Please let me know if there's anything lacking. If it's a shortage of combat power, I will personally lead troops to lend your Kong Household a hand!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ya, but this matter is not urgent for now." Kong Wenxuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Our Kong Household is still looking for a suitable place to expand our territory. The main reason we came here this time is that we discovered some problems in the southern mountains and wanted to inform you and your Lineage."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Ya Xingqu asked immediately upon hearing this.

"We discovered traces of Demon Race deep within the mountains to the south, and it should be at least a Third Tier Demon Race!"

Kong Wenxuan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly on the spot.

"Third Tier Demon Race!" Sure enough, Ya Xingqu's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing this, and he quickly asked, "Where did you find it?"

"It is located about seven thousand miles south of the Demon-Suppressing Pass, on a place called ' Flying Peak '."

"As Fellow Daoist Ya knows, our Kong Household is currently searching for a suitable Lineage in the southern mountains to expand our territory, and ' Flying Peak ' is one of the candidate sites Kong Household have in mind."

"A few days ago, when my clansmen and I went to investigate, we found that a great battle had taken place there. There were a large number of Demon Beast beast and cultivator corpses on the battlefield, but many Demon Beast and demon birds were able to resist devouring the corpses and instead carried them into ' Flying Peak '."

"This is completely inconsistent with the nature of those Demon Beast and birds; it can only mean that Demon Race is suppressing and controlling them from behind!"

Kong Wenxuan quickly stated his findings and judgment.

"There are still remnants of the Demon Race in the mountains to the south!" Ya Xingqu immediately believed his deduction, his face darkening as he said, "Fellow Daoist Kong, your discovery is very important. I need to report this news to my Zhaoying, so I won't be able to entertain you today."

"Once this matter is resolved, I will host a banquet to invite Fellow Daoist Kong, and then I will properly thank you."

Kong Wenxuan immediately rose to take his leave, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ya, you are too kind. Slaying Demon Race is the shared responsibility of our ' True Spirit Lineage '."

"It's only because my cultivation level, strength, and status are no match for the Demon Race on ' Flying Peak ' that I wouldn't have needed to trouble your esteemed Lineage. I am truly ashamed."

"Haha... Fellow Daoist Kong, you're too kind!" Ya Xingqu laughed and said, "As you said, slaying Demon Race is the mission of our ' True Spirit Lineage,' and naturally it is also the mission of our Ya Household."

"Besides, our Ya Household still has a score to settle with these Demon Race."

"This time, we'll need more fellow cultivators to send us messages."
