Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The wind blew past. In the remote village, Lin Yan, Wu Qinglei, and Ning Xiaohui stood in front of the stone house.

Wu Qinglei smiled and put away the exchange scroll. “If there’s no problem, let Xiaohui send you down the mountain first and explain the rest. Remember, you can’t reveal the existence of the Demon Suppression Division to anyone. Once you’re discovered…”

A thick killing intent suddenly appeared under his smile. “You’ll die.”

Lin Yan said sternly, “Understood.”

“See you later.”

“Wait.”

“Is there anything else?”

“The duty of the Demon Suppression Division is to investigate the ruins, right? Although I don’t know what you want to investigate, the information about the ruins must be what you need, right?”

Wu Qinglei said with interest, “That’s true. Fan Xiaopeng said before that you took out many ancient relics. You must have entered the ruins once or twice. Tell me, let me judge if they are valuable.”

Lin Yan could tell that Wu Qinglei was nonchalant. With their terrifying strength, they must have obtained a lot of information after investigating for a long time.

He wondered if his discovery would be of any use.

He immediately explained what he had seen and heard in two or three ruins.

Wu Qinglei did not think that he could bring any useful information.

He, Liu Lanqing, and the many Demon Suppression Guards under him had been hiding, collecting, and investigating for more than a month and had obtained a lot of information.

For someone like Lin Yan, who had entered one or two small ruins alone, even if he obtained some ancient items, what key information could he obtain?

That was what he thought at first.

It was not until Lin Yan spoke more and more that his expression slowly changed. Information after information was thrown out like bombs.

“Wait, you just said that the wooden elder was lifelike. He’s carrying a coffin on his back and there’s also a four-eyed, eight-armed Vajra sculpture that was suspected to be moving?”

Lin Yan could tell that Wu Qinglei’s expression was not very good. It was as if he had imagined it, and his eyes were filled with fear and vigilance.

Puzzled, he asked, “Haven’t you guys seen it before?”

Wu Qinglei was speechless.

They had indeed entered some of the small ruins around them and had heard a lot from others, but they had never heard of such a thing!

“Go on!”

Ning Xiaohui listened with relish. She was completely engrossed in the story.

Lin Yan continued.

There was a huge crack in the abyss, the ruins of the palace embedded in the wall, the jade statue and relief sculpture in the Goddess Temple, and the terrifying insect tide of the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches…

Every time Lin Yan said something, Wu Qinglei’s expression became even more solemn. At the mention of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach, Wu Qinglei was even more shocked. He kept confirming the image of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach with Lin Yan.

Wu Qinglei muttered, “I didn’t expect the Corpse Buddha Cockroach to actually exist. This is a little troublesome. Legend has it that the Heavenly Eye Temple is…”

He stopped in time and looked at Lin Yan. The more he looked, the more inconceivable his eyes became.

“All of this information is very precious! Don’t worry, I need to find Issuer Liu and the others to confirm it. After that, I’ll assign you merits. With so much information, a Great Merit will definitely be indispensable!”

Before Lin Yan could speak, Ning Xiaohui’s eyes lit up. “A, a, a Great Merit!”

She placed one hand on her waist and patted Lin Yan’s shoulder proudly. “Wahaha, Lin Yan! As expected of a soldier I lead! Impressive! You actually obtained a Great Merit in one go. Ordinary temporary Demon Suppression Guards might not even be able to obtain one in two to three years…”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

“Xiaohui!” Wu Qinglei hurriedly coughed three times. He glared at Ning Xiaohui and interrupted, “Take Lin Yan down the mountain!”

The corners of Lin Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. Did this mean that ordinary temporary Demon Suppression Guards might not even be able to accumulate a Great Merit in two to three years?

It would take at least six to seven years to exchange for the Force Feature cultivation technique.

This did not include the items needed later.

So the exchange list was really a big scam?

Ning Xiaohui knew that she had said something wrong. She avoided eye contact with Wu Qinglei and tugged at Lin Yan’s arm. “Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Wait.”

“What now?”

“I have another piece of information!”

“Another?!

About half an hour later, outside Ding’an City.

The ancient city wall stood tall, casting a withered shadow. The city wall was desolate and no one was on duty. The entire city seemed to be dilapidated.

Here?”

Wu Qinglei pointed at a wasteland outside the city and asked Lin Yan suspiciously.

Lin Yan turned around and confirmed the location of the abandoned farm cart.

He nodded. “It’s here.”

Wu Qinglei’s expression was solemn. He half-squatted down and reached out to press on the ground. After carefully examining it, his face suddenly froze.

Not long after, he dug out a square jade disk from the mud. It looked similar to the jade disk Ning Xiaohui had used to make records.

Wu Qinglei picked up the jade piece. There were clearly some words engraved on it, but they looked chaotic, as if they were some secret language.

He only took a glance before shock and excitement flashed across his face.

He put away the jade disk and looked at Lin Yan. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied and excited he was. “Lin Yan, this information is very important! Just this information is worth a Great Merit!”

“Another Great Merit!” Ning Xiaohui exclaimed again and looked at Lin Yan as if he was a monster.

Lin Yan coughed. “Deputy Issuer, let’s talk about the merits first. I have a question to ask.”

“Go ahead.”

“I wonder if I can use my merits to exchange for some information?”

“Information?”

“For example, the Goddess Temple.” Lin Yan recalled Xiaozhi’s strange illness and said solemnly, “I want to know what the Goddess Temple is!”

“Goddess Temple…” Wu Qinglei rubbed his chin. “I don’t know much about this Goddess Temple, so I can’t reply to you for the time being. I’ll tell you after I go back and discuss it with Issuer Liu.”

“Thank you, Deputy Issuer.”

“Alright, I have to go back and report to Issuer Liu. Xiaohui, don’t forget to tell Lin Yan the rendezvous point!”

With that, he turned into a bolt of lightning and quickly disappeared at the end of the wasteland.

Only Lin Yan and Ning Xiaohui were left.

“What did the Deputy Issuer mean when he said ‘rendezvous point’?”

Ning Xiaohui patted her chest and her eyes curved into crescent moons. “Of course, it’s the place where you can meet me! Every one of us is hiding in different places near Ding’an City. You’re the temporary Demon Suppression Guard I’m leading. I’m your contact. Quickly call me senior!”

“…Well, can I change my contact?”

Ning Xiaohui’s smile froze on her face. “Change? Change? Why would you change?!”

“Hehe, I was joking.” Lin Yan smiled insincerely. It seemed like he couldn’t change it.

“Then where should I find you?”

Ning Xiaohui became active again. “I’m staying at the Huayue District for now.

It’s a hotel called Yu’s. The third room on the second floor.”

“Huayue District, Yu’s?”

Lin Yan was slightly stunned. Wasn’t this Yu Qian’s hotel?

“Hey, do you remember? Your merits will probably be decided tomorrow or the day after. Remember to come and find me!”

“Remember. Speaking of which… Can’t I really change the contact person? For example, Fan Xiaopeng or something. It’s really not that I have a problem with you. It’s purely because I ‘knew’ him earlier.”

There was a mysterious young man hidden in Ding’an City. If there was no need, Lin Yan really didn’t want to enter.

Ning Xiaohui was so angry that her cheeks puffed up like a hamster. “Hurry up and give up on the idea of changing the contact! Every Demon Suppression Guard can only be responsible for one temporary Demon Suppression Guard. Fan Xiaopeng already has his own temporary Demon Suppression Guard!”

Lin Yan nodded regretfully.

“Alright, since that’s the case… shall we part ways here?”

“Eh? Aren’t you going to familiarize yourself with the place with me? Let me tell you, the environment in Ding’an City is complicated. I was careless last time and was about to get lost… Eh, why did you leave just like that?!”

“See you later!”

In the remote village, at the temporary camp of the Demon Suppression Division.

“You’re back! You’re back!

The fiery red parrot flapped its wings and flew around the door beam twice before landing on Liu Lanqing’s round shoulder.

Wu Qinglei, who was travel-worn, came to Liu Lanqing. “Issuer Liu.”

“Old Wu, why are you in such a hurry? I heard you guys chattering outside just now. Why? Did that informant provide information?”

“That’s right, and it’s greatly unexpected!”

“Oh? How rare. This is the first time you’ve praised someone after seven to eight informants.”

“It was an understatement. If we look at contributions, Lin Yan is ten times or a hundred times stronger than the seven people from before.”

Seeing that he was serious, Liu Lanqing raised her fair finger and scratched the parrot’s chin. “So good? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a newcomer in our team, right? If this kid has real talent, we can investigate him and give him a spot for the promotion test… What information did he provide?”

“There’s a lot. There’s a lot of information about the ruins.

“However, I’ll tell you in detail later. Please take a look at this first.”

He took out a jade plate and handed it to Liu Lanqing. “This was left behind by Ji Ying before he died. Lin Yan saw it!”

“Ji Ying?!”

Liu Lanqing’s expression suddenly became much more serious. She took the jade plate and looked at it a few times. Immediately, she revealed a hint of shock and surprise.

“There’s no mistake about the force mark, and the engravings match. It can’t be faked. It was indeed a message left behind by Ji Ying himself.”

“No wonder.” A hint of understanding flashed across Liu Lanqing’s eyes. “No wonder the Prefecture Administration treated Ji Ying to a meal for no reason and pushed the responsibility to Ji Ying for no reason. Someone is behind this!”

Wu Qinglei’s expression was solemn. “This person must have also grasped a secret passageway between the prefecture capital and Ding’an City! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent so many people to Ding’an City silently and brought them away.”

Liu Lanqing nodded. “Didn’t Ji Ying list a few suspects? Since they have the secret passage, there will definitely be traces. Leave this matter to Hou Zun later and let him get busy.”

Wu Qinglei sighed softly. “Issuer Liu, the Spirit God Sect is indeed a little mysterious. Not to mention that they come and go without a trace, but now, they even infiltrated the prefecture.”

“You mean this?”

Liu Lanqing casually took out a token with the word “Spirit” written on it. If Lin Yan was present, he would recognize that he had obtained the same token from one of the monsters.

Liu Lanqing’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Everyone has a token. You can write the word ‘Spirit’, ‘Prefecture’, or the words ‘Demon Suppression’. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“Issuer Liu doesn’t believe that there’s an organization like the Spirit God Sect?”

“In the past two years, accidents of all sizes have happened everywhere. This token can be seen everywhere. Everyone says that there’s a Spirit God Sect hiding in the depths that’s going to wreak havoc in the world. However, I say that it’s true that someone is going to wreak havoc in the world, but the Spirit God Sect might not be real. Someone is using the name of the Spirit God Sect to cause trouble!”

Wu Qinglei was silent. Everyone had their own opinions on this matter, and so did he. Although his opinion was different from Liu Lanqing’s, there was no need to refute.

At the very least, he knew that the Spirit God Sect really existed.

Liu Lanqing waved his hand and waved the jade plate. “Let’s not talk about this.

This Ji Ying finally did something good before he died and recorded the features of the young man’s force.

“Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain. I didn’t expect someone to really master such a domineering force and not die. Ji Ying didn’t die in vain.

However, since we know the other party’s force, we have a 90% chance of dealing with him.

“Old Wu, make the arrangements. Let’s bring forward the plan. There’s no time like the present. We’ll take action tonight immediately!”

Wu Qinglei was shocked. As expected of someone who was as aggressive as fire.. This temperament was indeed extremely hasty!
