Chapter 415: Incense turns into spirit pills! Demon-suppressing commander!
There is no specific division between inner city and outer city in Shengze City.

The temple of Master Dangmo is located in the center of the city.

The entire city expanded outward according to the location of the temple.

The further inward you go, the safer it is, and the more prosperous it is.

The Demon-Subduing Master is dead. Even if he maintains his power with incense and candles, the area he covers cannot be expanded.

Therefore, Shengze City has been fixed and cannot be expanded.

Lin Yan came to the restaurant in the city and stopped in front of the door.

Seeing his attire, he has an elegant demeanor.

The horse he was riding had a token of Zhennan King City on it, so it was obviously a military horse.

"Find a high place and prepare a table of good food and wine."

Lin Yan looked at the sign, suddenly reached into his arms, threw out a piece of silver, and said: "I want your best wine, and the meat on the sign..."

This was the silver he had searched from Captain Peng.

"Don't worry, sir. The wine in our building is the most famous in Shengze City. It's all 'Monkey Wine' shipped from Dian Cang Holy Land!"

The servant was overjoyed. He took the silver and immediately looked at the Cloud-stepping Horse. He whispered, "Master, what do you feed your horse?"

Lin Yan looked calm as he looked at the Cloud-Taking Horse. A wisp of magic power reached the Cloud-Taking Horse's ears.

"I am good at a disguise and shape-changing technique. I can change your appearance and leave a fake one here."

"No need to go to so much trouble. I will stay here and eat some fine feed... After all, I am not used to the food and wine of the human race."

Tayunju responded and said, "Just now I saw a caravan coming from the north at the back door. They should be transporting monkey wine! The caravan leader's mount has a token granted by the Demon Suppression Department..."

Having the token of the Demon Suppression Division means that one has a name in the Demon Suppression Division.

Most of these horses are little monsters with spiritual intelligence.

With this token, you have an identity. In the future, you can travel freely to various places of the human race, and you will not be treated as a monster of unknown origin and killed by human strongmen.

But after being registered, these little demons have to go to the nearby Demon-Suppression Bureau to exchange for new tokens every once in a while.

The Demon Suppression Division has a unique method that can deduce from old tokens whether this little demon has ever eaten humans!

Anyone who eats humans will be killed immediately!

If the token is not exchanged for a long time, it will be invalid and regarded as an evil demon!

"That's a little demon. It's not very intelligent, just like a six or seven-year-old human child. If we coax him into saying something, he'll probably be able to tell us some news from the north."

When Tayunju said this, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

After all, it was born in Zhennanwang City, and stood out among thousands of military horses to become the mount of Zhennanwang.

It is extremely intelligent and has profound knowledge, far beyond what any ordinary little monster can compare to.

Moreover, as the prince's mount, it has been deeply cultivated, and in terms of cultivation, it is comparable to the human Qi Refining realm.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Lin Yan nodded and said, "After we leave Shengze City, we will also go north. Since the little demon horse is coming from the north, it's a good opportunity to get some information."

Tayunju responded with some joy in his eyes.

Lin Yan waved his hand and went upstairs with the little white ape.

"Master, this horse is not honest and is not telling the truth." The little white ape whispered, "It didn't want to get any information at all, it just saw that I was a young mare!"

"..." Lin Yan naturally saw through it, and said calmly: "See through it but don't say it out loud."

"But it's too much. It's clearly following the order of the King of Zhennan to follow us north!" The little white ape said angrily, "It's on military duty, but it's going to whorehouse. It should be punished by military law! No, it's not paying, it's whoring for free, which is an even greater crime!"

"Okay, the horse of King Zhennan is temporarily lent to us. There is no need to pay too much attention to it." Lin Yan said.

"If I find a beautiful female monkey then..." The little white ape's eyes lit up.

"Break the legs!"

Lin Yan glanced at it and said, "Before the ancestral blood can enter the holy realm, the Yuan Yang must not be leaked!"

-

On top of a tall building.

Lin Yan opened the window and looked down at the prosperous scene in the city. He couldn't help but sigh: "The city is not big, but it is much more prosperous than Gaoliu City."

Sighing, Lin Yan closed the window and slowly sat down.

He picked up the wine jug, poured a glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"This wine is good. It can strengthen the blood and qi. It can be regarded as a precious medicine for warriors below the Refining Essence Realm."

"Sir, you are really an expert."

The servant next to him said, "Legend has it that any mountain monkey that has awakened its intelligence will use its nature to search for all kinds of beneficial materials and brew monkey wine, which can enhance its own bloodline!"

"Some people occasionally obtain monkey wine, which greatly increases their energy and blood, and improves their martial arts skills."

"So this monkey wine can be considered a special 'natural treasure'."

"As for Dian Cang Holy Land, I heard that they specially enlightened a group of mountain monkeys and let them go into the mountains to search for materials and brew monkey wine."

"And this monkey wine is sold to all parts of the Holy Alliance through various caravans."

"I heard that this monkey wine is the most important way to make money in Dian Cang Holy Land!"

Following the boy's words.

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking: "The Holy Alliance has a vast territory, and the means of all parties are mysterious. The Dian Cang Holy Land has become an important source of wealth with a kind of monkey wine! As expected, all walks of life are flourishing, and the civilization is prosperous. It is far from comparable to the Nanshan Holy Land..."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

In Zhennan Royal City, I have tasted various famous Holy Alliance dishes.

But every city has different regions, so the local specialties are naturally different.

The special delicacies in the Tianlu Holy Land are even more different.

"..."

Lin Yan put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "All monsters in the world are tainted with strange auras. Using monster meat to cook dishes is extremely poisonous!"

The boy's expression changed slightly, and he hurried to explain.

But then Lin Yan said again: "But the sign you put up in front of the restaurant is the meat and blood of the demon bull, cooked by a famous chef and using secret medicine from the holy land. It tastes great and can increase Qi and blood and strengthen the body!"

"You are a foreigner..."

The servant took a look at his clothes and said with a smile, "The flesh and blood of monsters in this world are extremely poisonous to humans. If you eat them, you will lose your mind at best, or lose control of your body and go completely crazy at worst."

"I heard that some temple priests in big cities have secret methods to cleanse and eliminate evil with incense, but it is extremely troublesome."

“But here, it’s very different.”

"As everyone knows, our Tianlu Holy Land is good at refining pills and making medicines."

"Among them there is a type of elixir called the Incense-Transforming Spiritual Pill."

"If a living person eats it, it will be extremely poisonous."

"But if you put the cut monster's flesh into water and rub it over and over, you can remove the 'poison' inside!"

The servant whispered, "This elixir was made by the previous Saint Lord. It is said that there was a famine that year... In order to solve the food problem in Zhennan Royal City, he painstakingly researched the elixir formula."

Lin Yan thought for a moment after hearing this.

Zhennan Royal City is the border of the Holy Alliance. The reason why the city was built there is to guard against attacks from the Demon Realm.

The city covers a vast area and has a large population.

Although fertile fields have been reclaimed inside and outside the city and grains and fruits and vegetables have been grown, they are ultimately only a very small source of food.

The real source of food still comes from within the Holy Alliance!
If the weather in the Holy Alliance is good and the crops are abundant, the Zhennan Royal City on the border will naturally not have to worry about food.

But if the harvest is poor, people will starve to death even in the places where crops are grown, and the amount of grain transferred to Zhennan Royal City will have to be reduced.

And what is most in abundance in Zhennan King City is probably the flesh and blood of monsters.

If there were elixirs or something like that, they could eliminate the drawbacks and make the monsters' flesh and blood usable as food, thus solving the food problem.

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment.

The little white ape thought to himself, "It seems that the master has set his eyes on the recipe for the Incense-Transforming Spirit Pill!"

"Yes, if we bring back the recipe, the Taixuan garrison and the other three prefectures will face much less pressure in terms of food."

“When the time comes, as long as someone shouts out “Holy Master is mighty,” countless people will be grateful, and the power of the incense will surge!”

"..."

Lin Yan pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "So, your restaurant can get a large amount of incense-transforming spirit pills?"

"The incense-burning spirit pill is a secret medicine from the holy land!"

The young man had a proud look on his face and said, "In Shengze City, apart from the City Guard Office and the Demon Suppression Department, only a few families are qualified to obtain the Incense-Transforming Spirit Pill!"

"If you stay in the city for a long time, you must remember that only those who put up signs in front of their doors are legitimate and qualified to sell monster meat."

"If there is no sign, then they are all selling it privately. If caught, they will be sentenced to death."

Following the boy's words.

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Is the punishment so severe?"

The servant nodded and said, "For those who sell these pills illegally, there is no guarantee that the incense pills are fake, or one pill is broken into three or four pieces, which makes it less effective."

"It has happened before. A strong warrior ate the monster meat and lost control."

"But the price of monster meat is much higher than that of ordinary meat, so there are always people who are not afraid of death and sell it secretly."

He said so.

But then Lin Yan asked, "Does your restaurant have any adulteration?"

The servant's face changed drastically, and he waved his hands quickly, saying, "The Demon Suppression Division will come to investigate at any time. Stealing the incense and fire pills, or using one pill several times, is also a capital crime..."

"Okay, let's go down."

Lin Yan waved his hand, poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

He looked at the little white ape and said, "How come a monkey that has been enlightened can rely on its instinct to find medicinal herbs that can enhance its own bloodline and brew monkey wine...you just think about the little female monkey all day long?"

"..."

The little white ape shrank his head and dared not speak.

Lin Yan snorted softly, took a bite of the monster meat, and chewed it slowly.

After a moment, the door was pushed open.

The man was of sturdy build and had a sword at his waist.

He was wearing a robe of the Demon Suppression Division, with one dragon and two pythons embroidered on it, lifelike and quite majestic. Lin Yan glanced at him, retracted his gaze, picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine, and pushed it forward.

"Do you know me?"

"I don't know them, but the uniforms of the Demon Suppression Division are embroidered with one dragon and two pythons. They are usually the highest commanders responsible for monitoring a city."

"Did you know that I was coming?"

"The thousand households under your command, along with more than three hundred elite soldiers, were killed by me personally." Lin Yan drank up the wine and said, "I think the Demon Suppression Division is not a fool. Since I came to Shengze City in such a swagger, you must know it! If you know it, you will definitely come!"

"You knew that my Demon Suppression Division would know about your entry into Shengze City, but you still swaggered into the city. You simply don't take my Demon Suppression Division seriously!"

The commander of Shengze City said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will mobilize troops and gather the strength of the entire city to surround and kill you?"

"But you came here alone."

Lin Yan said calmly: "As long as the Demon Suppression Department has not issued a wanted order, I am not a fugitive criminal... Since I am outside the city, you did not send troops to chase me. If I enter the city, you will not send troops to surround and kill me!"

The commander of Shengze City held the hilt of the sword with one hand and said in a deep voice: "So, you came to the city, to my territory, to show off your power?"

"I want a list from you."

Lin Yan said: "I don't like extravagance, but I need your help this time, so I prepared such a table of wine and food."

"You killed my people and you still want something from me?" The commander of Shengze City sneered.

"He is not yours." Lin Yan shook his head slightly.

"If the captain of the Demon Suppression Division under my command is not my man, then whose man is he?" said the commander of Shengze City.

"His master is the previous commander and the current garrison commander of the headquarters." Lin Yan said.

"..." The commander of Shengze City was silent for a moment, then asked, "What list do you want?"

"The current commander of the headquarters once served as the garrison captain of Shanwang Manor. What I want is the list of all the captains who have been stationed in Shanwang Manor after him!" Lin Yan said calmly.

"Do you have a grudge against him?" the commander of Shengze City suddenly asked.

"There's no grudge, he just deserves to die!" Lin Yan said.

"You still want to kill the garrison commander of the headquarters?" The commander's expression changed slightly.

"If someone deserves to die, he must be killed!" Lin Yan said calmly.

"Why?" asked the commander.

"In Shanwang Manor, the dead sacrifice was changed to a living sacrifice. He was the leader and deceived his superiors and subordinates for eighteen years. Now, the mountain king is about to break through and swallowed up the people of the entire village in one gulp." Lin Yan said.

"What?" The commander of the Demon Suppression Division's face changed, and he immediately said, "No, even those captains in front were arranged by him, but Captain Lu behind was arranged by me personally..."

"Captain Lu lost his life as soon as he arrived at Shanwangzhuang." Lin Yan said.

"My inspectors have been to Shanwangzhuang once every two or three months or half a year..."

The voice suddenly paused, and the conductor's expression became complicated.

The demon king in Shanwangzhuang is a tiger that turned into a demon.

People eaten by tigers may become ghosts.

The mountain king's cultivation is comparable to that of a peak landscape artist, and even an inspector at the Spirit Refining Realm might not be able to see through it.

"..."

The commander of the Demon Suppression Division was silent for a moment, then said, "So, this is why you destroyed Shanwang Manor, beheaded Shanjun, and killed Captain Peng and his men?"

"That's right." Lin Yan said, "The list of captains stationed in Shanwangzhuang is a secret within the Demon Suppression Division, so I came to find you!"

"Why do you trust me?" asked the commander.

"You were transferred here after the previous commander was promoted to the chief of the headquarters, and you were assigned a tough guy like Captain Lu Fang..." Lin Yan laughed and said, "So I guess you are not the chief of the headquarters."

"I will check the list myself. If it is true, I will clean up the mess." The commander said with a slightly gloomy face.

"It seems that you believe me." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"The Demon Suppression Department has not issued a wanted order yet. There are three reasons for this."

The commander said, "First, you have a powerful force behind you, interfering with the Demon Suppression Division! Second, you are close to being a martial saint, and the headquarters did not issue a wanted notice in order to recruit you!"

After a pause, he continued, "Third... the case of Sanwangzhuang, the headquarters already knows the inside story and believes that you are not guilty."

"However, there is a fourth reason why I trust you temporarily."

"Although you killed Captain Peng and beheaded more than 300 people, you did not kill them all."

"If you kill them all, with your level of cultivation and your intention to clean up all traces, my Demon Suppression Division may not be able to track you down!"

"I want to know, you knew that if you left any of them alive, they would be targeted by the Demon Suppression Division, so why did you still keep these seven hundred people?"

"It can't be that this is to provoke the Demon Suppression Division?"

"..."

Listen to the commander's voice.

Hearing this, Lin Yan said slowly, "Captain Peng deserves to die. The other three hundred people are his confidants. If they insist on taking action, they will have no choice but to die."

"As for the other 700 people, I originally intended to hand them over to the King of Zhennan, investigate them thoroughly, and punish them according to their crimes."

"But after asking around, we found out that those 300 people were Captain Peng's former subordinates."

"And these 700-plus soldiers were transferred to him after he was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Demon Suppression Division."

Hearing this, the commander of Shengze City responded.

"These more than 700 people were transferred from my staff."

The commander said slowly, "They are the elite soldiers of the eastern coastal front. They have made great contributions in the war and were transferred to the Demon Suppression Division six years ago! If you kill them too, I will fight you to the death today even if I risk going to jail!"

Lin Yan looked at him quietly and suddenly sighed.

The commander of the Demon Suppression Division of Shengze City in front of him reminded him of the former commander of the Heavenly Supervision Division of Gaoliu City.

The reason why he let go of the more than 700 soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division before was because he remembered his past when he was a small flag officer of the Heavenly Monitoring Division.

If a warrior who is determined to slay demons and monsters joins the Demon Suppression Division, he will follow orders and follow his superiors to surround and kill the enemy who destroys the people of a village.

But in fact, his boss is the real evildoer!
And I lost my life because of it, isn't it unfair?

"These more than 700 soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division were just deceived by Captain Peng. Their foundation is still the same as that of Captain Lu Fang."

Lin Yan said slowly: "They are all elites who fought in the strange night, fought against demons and evil spirits, and protected the peace of the human race! So they should not die..."

"This answer is enough to convince me."

The commander of Shengze City bowed slightly towards Lin Yan and said, "You can respect my Demon Suppression Division, and I will spare more than 700 brothers and return your courtesy."

He stood up and continued, "But no matter what, it is a fact that you killed a thousand Demon Suppression Division officers and more than three hundred Demon Suppression Division soldiers!"

"According to the laws of the Holy Alliance, no matter what your reasons are, you have committed a capital crime as you have killed more than 300 soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division!"

"The headquarters has not issued an order for your arrest, but you should stop showing off in Shengze City."

"I will personally handle the successive garrisons at Shanwangzhuang."

"Once you have finished your work, leave Shengze City and don't lose your life."

After a pause, he continued, "The previous commander, who is now promoted to the head hall, is the disciple of the current Grand Elder of the Tianlu Holy Land!"

After saying this, he walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door.

But the next moment, his eyes fell on the dishes on the table.

"Don't eat it. The amount of the incense-fire-transforming spirit pill is not enough. This monster meat is not clean."

"This is your dereliction of duty." Lin Yan took a bite of meat and said, "Break a Xiang Huo Hua Ling Dan into four pieces. The meat is really not good."

"..."

The commander of Shengze City closed the door and his face became extremely ugly.

He walked out of the restaurant, looked at the captain of the Demon Suppression Division stationed outside, and said coldly: "What a disgrace! I will close this restaurant!"

The captain whispered, "This restaurant belongs to the Zhao family, the Zhao family from which Deputy City Guard Zhao came."

"Seal up the Zhao family as well!"

The commander said expressionlessly, "If Deputy City Guard Zhao knows about the incense-transforming elixir, arrest him as well... He is a dangerous thing!"

"Also, whoever is responsible for monitoring this restaurant in my Demon Suppression Department should be sent to prison immediately. All those involved should be investigated and severely punished. Those who deserve to be killed should be killed!"

-

In the restaurant.

Lin Yan drank up a pot of monkey wine by himself.

"It's really good. This wine strengthens the Qi and blood, and is much more effective in replenishing the body than a whole bottle of Da Zeng Yuan Dan."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "In the Demon Realm, there are countless mountains and forests, and there are many natural treasures. I will ask Niu Yan to enlighten a group of mountain monkeys to search for treasures and brew wine."

But what he wanted most was the recipe for the Incense-Transforming Spirit Pill.

Although there is a Fengcheng city south of Taixuan Mountain, it almost supports the three prefectures in terms of food.

But food is still a big problem after all.

Especially the defenders of Taixuan Divine Mountain, which are far away from Fengcheng, but if they can use this recipe to eliminate the strange disadvantages and feed on the flesh and blood of monsters, it will be of great benefit.

"Go downstairs."

Lin Yan went downstairs and found the Cloud-Stepping Horse.

Tayunju came closer and whispered, "I got some news..."

The little white ape was stunned for a moment, and said, "When you are doing something improper, can you still find time to do something proper?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tayunju said angrily: "I am doing serious things."

Lin Yan raised his hand and asked, "What news did you find out?"

Tayunju said, "Xiao Maer said that just now, when the caravan was unloading wine in the backyard of the restaurant, a young man was suddenly captured. The leader of the caravan is negotiating with the restaurant owner and wants to meet with the big boss behind the restaurant to release the man."

"Xiao Maer said that the young man was just an ordinary guard of a business, and he had never committed any crime before coming to Shengze City."

"When he was arrested, the temple guards asked about the young man's date of birth, as if they were verifying something."

It hesitated for a moment and said, "My humble guess is that something big is going to happen in Shengze City... The date of birth they asked about is the same as the birthday of Master Dangmo!"

Hearing this, the little white ape asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Ta Yunju said in a low voice: "Sacrifices made with the same birth date usually face the threat of the city being destroyed... So we must use this sacrifice, along with a large amount of incense, to bring out the incense-burning golden statues enshrined in the city to slay the demons and exorcise the monsters!"

It looked at Lin Yan with complicated eyes.

Lin Yan also understood something and said thoughtfully: "So I am the demon that is going to be killed?"
