The group arrived at the main hall of Commandant Lu's residence, where Lu Feng took out several bottles of pills from his robes.

"Those of you who are willing to come with me to Commandant Lu's residence, each captain will receive a Jin Origin Pill, and each team member will receive a Body-Tempering Pill as a small gift!"

Having said that, he personally distributed them.

"Thank you, Captain!"

After receiving the pills, everyone's faces were beaming with smiles.

The magistrate bestowed upon us elixirs on his very first day in office. With such a leader, how could we not have a promising future?

After distributing the pills, Lu Feng returned to the main seat and sat down.

"The department has now allocated a piece of land to my Commandant Lu's residence, namely Silver Moon Valley. From today onwards, the Silver Moon Valley area will be under the full jurisdiction of my Commandant Lu's residence for patrolling!"

"In addition to your daily tasks, your four teams will take turns patrolling, one month per team. You can decide on the specific shift schedule yourselves."

"Furthermore, if there are any promising young players among the team members that you fancy, you can recruit them directly."

"Furthermore, there will be an annual evaluation within the manor, and those who have made the greatest progress in cultivation and contributed the most meritorious service will be richly rewarded!"

In this way, Lu Feng arranged the affairs of the Commandant Lu's office one by one.

An hour later, only Lu Feng remained in the main hall.

"No, one person simply can't handle it." He rubbed his temples.

"If this continues, how will I have time to slay Demon Cultivator? I need to find someone to manage the household affairs for me."

After much thought, Zhou Si's image appeared in his mind.

Zhou Si has now reached the Nei Jin Perfection. Once she breaks through to the Hua Jin, promoting her to the rank of deputy captain should not be a problem.

He then returned to his lodgings and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Feng changed into a white outfit and arrived at Xiao Tianqi's cave early.

Just as he reached the door, Xiao Tianqi stepped out. Today he was also dressed in a gray robe, looking quite like he was about to embark on a long journey.

"I knew you'd be waiting for me outside the cave! Let's go!"

The two then set off for Linfeng City.

An hour later, Linfeng City was already in sight.

The city was equally bustling, filled with martial artists brimming with vitality.

He Tieshan is just ahead, not far away.

Once inside the city, Xiao Tianqi spoke to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng nodded, and the two arrived at a shop called "Hundred Refinements Pavilion".

The shop wasn't big, only two floors, but it was quite crowded.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a maidservant hurried to greet me.

"What would you two distinguished guests like to buy?"

"We need to order custom weapons. Take us to the second floor."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes, but then her face lit up with joy, knowing that those heading straight to the second floor were all there for big business.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me!"

Led by a maid, the two went up to the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor felt much more spacious.

Besides the counter displaying weapons in the center, there is a row of closed private rooms on the side.

There were far fewer people on the second floor.

A portly shopkeeper, seeing a customer approach, immediately greeted him with a beaming smile:

"May I ask what kind of weapon you two distinguished guests wish to have forged?"

"I'm looking for He Tieshan. Is he in the shop?" Xiao Tianqi asked bluntly.

"Looking for Grandmaster He?"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the other party address him by his name. Anyone who knew Grandmaster's name must be of extraordinary status.

"May I ask who you are...?"

Xiao Tianqi didn't say much, but took out a token from his pocket and handed it over.

The shopkeeper took the token and glanced at it; his pupils suddenly contracted.

"So it's Si Zheng Xiao! Forgive my ignorance, I didn't recognize you!"

"Alright, take me to see He Tieshan."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face immediately showed a troubled expression.

"What? He Tieshan isn't here?" Xiao Tianqi asked, noticing his expression.

"That's right... Grandmaster He was invited by the Vajra Temple to forge a Spirit Artifact half a month ago, and he hasn't returned yet," the shopkeeper answered truthfully.

"What? They were invited to the Vajra Temple? Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianqi was clearly surprised, and his tone involuntarily became a bit harsher, startling the shopkeeper so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Absolutely true! Even if I had the greatest courage in the world, I wouldn't dare to lie to you!"

Xiao Tianqi didn't make things difficult for him and left Hundred Refinements Pavilion with Lu Feng.

"Uncle Xiao, what do we do now?" Lu Feng asked as they left the shop.

"This matter is probably not that simple. Let's go back and discuss it further."

Upon hearing Xiao Tianqi's words, Lu Feng nodded, and the two then flew back to the Demon-Slaying Bureau.

An hour later, the two returned to the Demon-Slaying Bureau.

Lu Feng was about to return to his military residence when Xiao Tianqi stopped him.

"Come with me to the main hall."

"Good."

The two arrived at the main hall of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, where two other people were already waiting.

One of them was a middle-aged man with bulging muscles, possessing the cultivation level of Late Grandmaster. Judging from his appearance, he should be Han Cang.

The other was a short, white-haired old man named Wei Qingxuan.

When Lu Feng saw this person, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because, if he wasn't mistaken...

This Deputy Si Zheng Wei's cultivation level was actually at the Celestial Person Realm.

Moreover, it's at the Celestial Person Realm Second Layer!

It should be noted that Su Xuanqing, the head of the North City Demon-Slaying Bureau, is only at the Celestial Person Realm First Layer.

Xie Yunyuan, the head of the Headquarters Demon-Slaying Bureau at the Central Province headquarters, is said to be only at the Celestial Person Realm Second Layer.

The Wei Qingxuan before them actually possessed strength comparable to the head of the headquarters.

The strangest thing is that he didn't conceal his aura at all, and just swaggered out, releasing the pressure of the Celestial Person Realm Second Layer.

This puzzled Lu Feng greatly.

He glanced at Xiao Tianqi again, only to see that the other's expression remained calm and composed, clearly indicating that he already knew Wei Qingxuan's true cultivation level.

"This must be Commandant Lu Feng!"

Upon seeing the two enter, Wei Qingxuan spoke first, his voice booming like a bell.

"Let me introduce you. This is Deputy Si Zheng Wei Qingxuan, and this is Deputy Si Zheng Han Cang."

Upon hearing Xiao Tianqi's words, Lu Feng stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Your subordinate, Lu Feng, greets the two Deputy Si Zheng!"

"No need for such formalities!"

Wei Qingxuan waved his hand, his eyes scanning Lu Feng up and down, growing more and more satisfied with his appearance.

"I took one look at you and knew I liked you! From now on, if there's anything Xiao Tianqi can't handle, just come to me, and I'll take care of it for you!"

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

Han Cang interrupted Wei Qingxuan.

"Brother Xiao, what happened that you called us here?"

Xiao Tianqi cleared his throat and said:

"Here's what happened. I originally took Lu Feng to Linfeng City to have He Tieshan forge a Spirit Artifact. Unexpectedly, he was taken away by the Vajra Temple half a month ago and hasn't returned yet."

"You are all aware of what Vajra Temple has been doing lately. That's why I've called you here to discuss what Vajra Temple's true intentions are."

Upon hearing this, Han Cang immediately analyzed:

"Hiring someone to forge a weapon at a temple instead of having it forged in your own shop suggests that what you're forging is most likely a shady, spiritual Spirit Artifact!"

"No trace of a sixth-tier Demon Emperor has been found in the entire north. The Vajra Temple is so secretly crafting Spirit Artifact... Could it be that they are intended to use them against us?"

"What's the point of thinking so much?" Wei Qingxuan replied directly.

"In my opinion, we should simply storm the Vajra Temple, arrest that Huixing, and interrogate him. Everything will be clear then!"

For him, there's no need to waste his brains on things that can be solved with fists.
