"The Four Symbols Formation is actually incomplete?"

Lu Feng looked at the records in the jade slip and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Four Symbols Formation that Wu Qingfeng set up in Canglan City was quite powerful.

The white tiger phantom was about to kill Fifth-Tier Demon Lord with a single strike. And this formation was still incomplete?

He patiently read the jade slip carefully from beginning to end.

The Four Symbols Formation consists of four array eyes: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, corresponding to the four ancient divine beasts.

The Azure Dragon represents life force. When the person setting up the formation is fighting the enemy, the Four Symbols Formation will continuously restore their injuries and True Essence.

The White Tiger governs killing and warfare; its illusory form is responsible for attacking and killing.

The Black Tortoise is primarily responsible for defense, forming a protective barrier to repel external enemies.

The Vermilion Bird is in charge of refining, using the corpses of enemies within the formation to replenish the entire formation and maintain its operation.

With all four elements gathered, it possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities, ensuring endless vitality.

Of all the formations recorded in the jade slips, only the White Tiger Formation is complete.

Only a portion of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise formations were recorded.

Fortunately, the system can complete the Four Symbols Formation.

"System, complete the Four Symbols Formation!"

[Ding! Completing the Four Symbols Formation requires 30,000,000 Demon Points. Confirm completion?]

"Confirm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the word "incomplete" behind the Four Symbols Formation on the panel disappeared.

At the same time, Lu Feng felt a massive influx of information flooding into his mind.

That was the complete Four Symbols Formation.

The complete array patterns, energy flow paths, array setup methods, and activation methods of the four array eyes—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—were all meticulously etched into his consciousness.

It was as if he had personally set up this formation a thousand times.

After a long while, Lu Feng put down the jade slip and looked at the other items.

True Essence Pill and Origin Recovery Pill are both commonly used pills in the Celestial Person Realm, and their quality is not low. However, they are not very useful to Lu Feng.

There were quite a few Origin Crystal: two hundred high-grade, three thousand mid-grade, and several hundred low-grade.

Finally, there was the silver token. The front of it featured the image of the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau, and the back was engraved with the character "Wu".

It was Wu Qingfeng's Si Zheng token. Lu Feng then put all of these items into his storage bag.

Just then, Ji Qingqing's voice came from outside the tent.

"My lord, a large group of people from the Demon-Slaying Bureau have arrived outside, demanding to see you."

Lu Feng got up and walked out of the tent.

Outside the main hall, Xiao Tianqi stood at the entrance, facing thousands of martial artists.

He was shouting something, but no one was listening.

The crowd stirred, and someone shouted, "We want to see Lord Lu!"

Some people also asked, "What exactly happened with Wu Qingfeng?"

Xiao Tianqi stood there alone, surrounded by thousands of people, and couldn't be subdued no matter what he did.

When Lu Feng came out, everyone immediately fell silent. All eyes turned to him.

Those eyes held gratitude, awe, admiration, and also the bewilderment of someone who had survived a catastrophe.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Sir, is Wu Qingfeng really dead?"

"Sir, what do we do next?"

One question after another was thrown at us.

Lu Feng raised his hand, and the crowd quieted down.

"I'm fine. The problem with the demonic beasts is basically resolved. Next, once we've settled things in Shouyun City, we'll return to the Demon-Slaying Bureau. In the meantime, I hope everyone will follow Uncle Xiao's instructions."

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, then some nodded, and some responded.

The thousands of people who were previously out of control are now completely submissive.

Xiao Tianqi cast a grateful glance at Lu Feng.

Things went much more smoothly after that. Following Xiao Tianqi's instructions, everyone handed over the defense of Shouyun City to the people who remained behind, and arranged for the transfer of the wounded and the resettlement of the civilians.

In less than an hour, everything was ready.

The group took to the air and flew towards the Western Demon-Slaying Bureau.

Several hours later, the outline of the Demon-Slaying Bureau came into view.

These people were originally warriors from the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau. Without Lu Feng saying anything more, they returned to their places after landing.

Song Xuanji, Qin Bailian, and the others arrived a step later than Lu Feng.

Once everyone had arrived, the higher-ups convened a meeting.

To Lu Feng's surprise, he was also called into the meeting.

When he entered the main hall, Song Xuanji was the first to greet him, his face beaming with smiles.

"Brother Lu, you've arrived."

"Brother Lu, please come inside."

Lu Qingshan also came over, addressing him as "Brother Lu" repeatedly, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Lu Feng responded without changing his expression, knowing perfectly well what was going on.

These people who previously ignored him are now calling him "brother" because they've seen his strength and hidden cards.

Upon entering the main hall, everyone politely declined, urging Lu Feng to sit in the main seat.

Lu Feng refused. In the end, Qin Bailian sat down.

Now, after this upheaval, the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau, Si Zheng Wu Qingfeng, is dead; the Deputy Si Zheng, Guan Shanhai, is dead; Han Baizhan is also dead.

Of Great Grandmaster- level experts in the entire West City Demon-Slaying Bureau, only Qin Bailian remains.

It is only natural that he sits in the main seat.

Qin Bailian sat at the head of the table, looked around at everyone in the hall, and remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I've gathered you all here today for three matters. First, how to report Wu Qingfeng's case to headquarters. Second, the cleanup of the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau. Third..."

Then Qin Bailian looked at Lu Feng and said:

"Brother Lu, I would like to invite you to serve as the head of the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau- Si Zheng."

"What?"

Before Lu Feng could even speak, the expressions of Xiao Tianqi, Song Xuanji, and Lu Qingshan beside him had already changed.

But soon, the three of them understood Qin Bailian's intention.

Nowadays, the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau has very few members left with the cultivation level of Grandmaster, resulting in a severe gap in combat power.

What's worse, those disciples simply didn't trust them, the surviving high-ranking members.

From Canglan City to Shouyun City, thousands of martial artists witnessed Guan Shanhai and others self-destruct, and saw the four people in the Four Symbols Formation remain unharmed.

They only trust Lu Feng. Even if Qin Bailian were made the Si Zheng, he wouldn't be able to control these people in a short time.

The best solution is to let Lu Feng take the position.

That solved all the problems.

Perhaps it can even help the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau advance further.

"Deputy Si Zheng Qin, what are you saying?" Lu Feng shook his head.

"I am a disciple of the North City Demon-Slaying Bureau, how can I be appointed as the Si Zheng of the Western City?"

"Besides, with my limited experience, how could I possibly be qualified to be Si Zheng?"

Lu Feng refused decisively. Even if he were interested in becoming the Si Zheng, he wouldn't simply be parachuted in as the top leader.

He turned to look at Xiao Tianqi and gave him a wink.

Xiao Tianqi understood and immediately said, "Brother Qin, Lu Feng is a member of our North City Demon-Slaying Bureau. It's not appropriate for you to poach him like this."

"Brother Xiao, please stop teasing me." Qin Bailian waved his hand with a wry smile.

"You know perfectly well what the situation is like inside the Demon-Slaying Bureau right now."

"Tell me, what other option do I have besides this?"

His words caused everyone to fall silent.

The West City Demon-Slaying Bureau suffered a severe blow after this calamity.

With the Si Zheng dead, and the two Deputy Si Zheng dead, the remaining disciples were filled with anxiety and lacked trust in the higher-ups.

If no one who can keep order steps forward, the West City Demon-Slaying Bureau may not be able to weather this storm.
