Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

All things are reviving.

The ice and snow are melting.

As Luo Chen watched the ice and snow gradually melt in the courtyard, he felt that the flow of his own wisp of time energy had become smoother.

He changed into a golden cloud-patterned robe, the three golden stripes on his chest representing his current status as a third-rank Demon Suppression Captain.

With a long, golden-scaled sword at his waist, what a spirited and dashing young man!

Arrive at the front hall.

Sitting in the main seat, Liu Xingsheng paused slightly as he watched Luo Chen enter the hall.

"Chen'er?"

He put down his teacup and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded. "Uncle Liu, I was promoted to Demon Suppression Captain yesterday. I just had dinner with my colleagues and came back late, so I didn't bother them."

Liu Xingsheng's expression was complex, but it was quickly replaced by joy.

"Great, great, you're much better than I was back then."

He stretched out his one arm and patted the boy's shoulder forcefully.

Looking at Luo Chen, who was so close at hand.

I still find it unbelievable.

Afterwards, the family happily ate breakfast.

Aunt Wang narrowed her eyes as she looked at the brother and sister opposite her.

"Chen'er's promotion is a joyous occasion. Should we host a banquet to celebrate?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingsheng immediately made the decision.

"We must set it up."

Since stepping down from the Demon Suppression Division, Liu Xingsheng has outwardly remained indifferent.

But he had tolerated the attitude of the elders in the clan and the true colors of the Wang family members for a long time.

Now, at the age of seventeen, Luo Chen has been promoted to Demon Suppression Captain.

Everyone could see that he was destined for greatness.

Let alone the future, Luo Chen's current status as a Demon Suppression Captain is enough to bring glory to his ancestors.

Luo Chen ate his breakfast, occasionally teasing Yao Yao beside him. He simply smiled at the elders' discussion.

One hour later.

Luo Chen left the Liu residence and arrived at the Demon Suppression Division.

Today is my first day in office, and there are still some procedures to go through.

Arriving at his office loft, he looked at the three large characters "Tingfenglou" on the plaque and nodded to himself.

This "Listening to the Wind Pavilion" was once the site of the death of the captain in this battle, but now it belongs to him.

Inside the attic, an official who was organizing books greeted the visitor with a respectful bow.

"My lord."

"No need for formalities," Luo Chen nodded, then asked curiously.

"As the Demon-Suppressing Captain, how many men do I have under my command?"

The official shook his head and explained, "Since you, Captain, are not required to perform patrol duties, ten to twenty demon-suppressing soldiers can be assigned to assist you."

"I understand."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and turned to walk towards Yue Wuchang.

Half an hour later.

Luo Chen walked out of the attic with a big smile on his face.

Back at Tingfeng Tower, he spoke to the civil official.

"There's a demon-suppressing envoy named Wang Yue under Commandant Yue Wuchang. Tell him to report to my command afterward."

"The rest of you are free to do as you please."

Luo Chen hummed a little tune as he strolled around Tingfeng Tower, inspecting his territory.

Wang Yue is a decent guy. Just based on the scene of him standing in front of the old ape's iron rod that day, I'm willing to help him out.

noon.

Just as Luo Chen was leisurely sitting in the attic basking in the sun.

A demon-suppressing guard who was watching the attic came running up to report.

"My lord, Xiao Xiuzhu, Commandant Xiao, has come to pay a visit."

Luo Chen was taken aback. He didn't recognize the person, but since the other party was a captain, they would inevitably have some interaction in the future, so he nodded.

In no time at all.

A handsome young man, standing nine feet tall, came up from downstairs.

The young man was dressed in a simple training uniform, but the Demon Suppression Captain's token hanging at his waist made his identity impossible to ignore.

Luo Chen stood up to greet him, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

"Lord Xiao, I have long admired your name. Please have a seat."

Xiao Xiuzhu laughed heartily, appearing quite forthright.

After taking his seat, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and accepted it with a smile.

"I've come here today to congratulate Brother Luo Chen on his advancement. This is just a small gift; please don't find it offensive."

"Brother Xiao, you're too kind."

Luo Chen understood his meaning and changed his form of address accordingly.

The two chatted for a while.

Xiao Xiuzhu then tentatively asked.

"Brother Luo Chen, are you aware that the Princess Consort of Zhenbei is about to arrive in Qingyuan City?"

Luo Chen gave a bitter smile.

"Brother Xiao, I've just been promoted, and my information channels aren't as extensive as yours."

Xiao Xiuzhu smiled, and without keeping them in suspense, continued.

"I've heard that with the arrival of the Princess Consort, Qingyuan City is about to undergo a major upheaval."

"The Commander-in-Chief went to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence this morning to escort the Princess."

Luo Chen's brows furrowed slightly, but were quickly smoothed out.

Looking at Xiao Xiuzhu's kind expression, Luo Chen raised his teacup.

Xiao Xiuzhu smiled slightly, raised his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Watching the other person leave, Luo Chen returned to the pavilion, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"Changyue is a member of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, or she has already sided with the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."

"This Xiao Xiuzhu must be Changyue's confidant. He's here to build rapport and give me a heads-up."

Luo Chen scratched the back of his head, feeling like he was about to grow a brain.

So it seems that the Demon Suppression Division is not a place where Shangguan Changyue has absolute power.

There must be other forces involved below.

Luo Chen shook his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

"I wish a demon would come and cause some trouble so I can go out for a stroll."

Luo Chen felt that dealing with demons was simpler.

However, he was promoted by Shangguan Changyue.

In other people's eyes, he has already been labeled as Shangguan Changyue.

Time slips away silently, like sand in the palm of your hand.

One day later.

Wang Yue, his face flushed, reported to Luo Chen.

His chest thumped loudly.

"Boss, from now on you're my boss."

He didn't feel awkward because of the change in status; on the contrary, he was quite pleased with himself.

"From now on, those who work under me will be brothers who will risk their lives for me."

Luo Chen patted Wang Yue on the shoulder, then looked at the other nine Demon Suppression Envoys standing in front of him.

Due to a shortage of manpower, these are the only people we can currently squeeze out to make up for our manpower.

Luo Chen didn't care, since he always had to personally kill the demon heads he was tasked with.

He didn't care what his subordinates were like.

He can tolerate anyone who causes trouble as long as they don't create problems for themselves.

The other nine people had different expressions, but they all clasped their hands in obedience.

"Alright, there are no missions for now. You are free to do as you please."

After giving his instructions, Luo Chen ignored everyone else.

He walked out of the Demon Suppression Bureau on his own.

Behind him, Wang Yue followed closely beside Luo Chen.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment and then dispersed.

"I'm worried about those people, so keep an eye on them on weekdays."

On the way, Luo Chen spoke softly to Wang Yue.

"Don't worry, boss."

As if he had just thought of something, Wang Yue took out a list from his pocket and handed it over.

"Boss, you're on the latest Hidden Dragon List!"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, reached out and took it, his gaze quickly landing on the bottom column.

Luo Chen, ranked 95th on the Hidden Dragon List, 17 years old, a Blood-Moving Limit Demon-Suppressing Captain, once single-handedly killed a Blood-Moving Demon...

After reading the self-introduction in the list, Luo Chen made no comment.

I just thought of it.

Although the Hidden Dragon Ranking ranks prodigies, it does not reveal the martial arts techniques or skills of those on the list; it only lists their combat achievements.
