Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Under the dim light of night.

A group of martial artists, riding tall horses, galloped at top speed along the narrow path.

Wang Yue held a torch in his hand, silently following the figure ahead.

A short while later.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard from ahead.

Luo Chen dismounted and looked down at the Bailong River, his eyes slightly narrowed.

After walking several kilometers along the shore, you will come across a small fishing village.

But by this time, the fishing village had collapsed, and most of the houses looked as if they had been overturned by a giant wave.

The village is deserted and desolate.

Luo Chen reached down and took the hollowed-out sphere from his waist, releasing the small butterfly inside.

The butterfly's body, already difficult to spot with the naked eye, seemed to disappear completely under the cover of night, leaving no trace.

Luo Chen was able to clearly know Xiao Die's location by relying on his perception of Gu worms.

The butterfly first circled twice above the fishing village.

Finally, it flew eastward.

"Walk!"

Luo Chen paused for a moment, then resolutely mounted his horse and rode away.

Behind them, the Demon Suppressors followed without saying a word.

Half an hour later.

The group stopped in front of a fishing village.

The fishing village ahead was not attacked by demons.

However, due to the massacre of nearby villages, people were filled with fear, and many young people had already left.

Only the elderly, women, children, and widowed elderly remained in the village.

Now, as dusk falls, everyone in the village has closed their doors and gone out.

From a distance, it looks like an abandoned village.

Luo Chen stood on a small hill and looked around quietly for a moment, then stretched out his fingertip.

A small butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on my finger.

With the help of the firelight, the group of demon envoys behind him were able to see clearly and discover the butterfly on Luo Chen's fingertip.

"Boss, this is..."

Wang Yue's eyes showed surprise.

Luo Chen placed Xiao Die into the hollowed-out sphere at his waist and said casually.

"The Gu worms I cultivate can track demons."

"The presence of demonic energy near this village proves that it has roamed the area."

Listening to Luo Chen's explanation.

The other demon-suppressing envoys then realized what was happening and looked at the sphere at Luo Chen's waist with interest.

But I didn't dare ask any more questions.

Wang Yue's gaze fell on the fishing village below.

"Boss, should we go in and take a look today?"

Luo Chen shook his head slightly and looked at the five people behind him.

"The demons are not here. It is already dark. Do not disturb the villagers. We will enter the village during the day."

"Send two people down the mountain to watch the horses, and everyone can take turns resting."

After saying that, Luo Chen found a blue stone and sat down.

Two demon-suppressing envoys walked out from behind and went to the foot of the hill to guard the horses.

Luo Chen took out some dry food from his spatial ring.

His gaze fell upon the fishing village at the foot of the mountain.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

……

early morning.

Loud crowing echoed from the fishing village at the foot of the mountain.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, his internal energy surged, and all the water vapor and dew around him evaporated.

All the demon-suppressing envoys were also awakened by the crowing sound.

Luo Chen stood up, nodded to Wang Yue, and headed towards the fishing village.

The group arrived at the entrance of the village.

The early-rising villagers spotted them.

The villagers had never seen such an extraordinary demon-suppressing guard before, and their eyes were filled with fear and dread.

This group of people is far more imposing than the officials who come to the village to collect taxes.

Luo Chen smiled kindly and asked the elderly villager who was leaning on a cane.

"Sir, are you the village chief?"

The old man mustered his courage, looked at the young man at the head of the group, lowered his head, and was about to kneel down and kowtow.

Fortunately, Luo Chen reacted quickly and caught the other person.

"The village chief ran away with his family yesterday. I'm too old to walk anymore, so I stayed behind."

Luo Chen frowned and asked.

"Have you seen that demon?"

His gaze fell behind the old man, where rows of numb and desperate villagers slowly walked out of their homes.

These villagers were mostly elderly, weak, women, and children, who were helpless and alone in the village.

Their eyes held despair and a death wish.

It's as if they deliberately stayed behind to feed the demons.

Ke Luochen knew that demons generally didn't care about the flesh and blood of ordinary people, and that those who attacked civilians were usually lesser demons.

The vast amounts of blood and essence contained within a martial artist's body are what those powerful demons target.

"Could it be that they deliberately massacred the village to lure out the Demon Suppression Division?"

Luo Chen secretly speculated in his heart.

Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "We have never seen that demon. We only saw a water dragon rising into the air above the river from afar, which swallowed up the surrounding villages in the blink of an eye."

After the old man finished speaking, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Water dragon?"

Luo Chen looked at the tributary of the Bailong River outside the village, a solemn expression flashing in his eyes.

There are countless powerful demons in the Bailong River. Could it be that demons from there have infiltrated this branch of the river?

That would be a bit tricky.

Luo Chen felt a sense of pressure.

They asked for some more details.

He exchanged a glance with Wang Yue and the others who were surveying the area near the village.

Luo Chen smiled and comforted the old man beside him.

"Please tell the villagers not to go fishing recently. We will let you know after we have dealt with the demon."

The old man was deeply moved upon hearing this.

"You've come to deal with the demons? This old man thanks you all."

"No need to be so polite, sir."

Luo Chen lifted the old man up again.

"Boss, this demon should be underwater!"

The group arrived at the riverbank not far from the village.

Wang Yue pointed to the rushing water and then explained.

"I've been to this branch before, and the current is definitely not this rapid."

He looked at the water, his tone grave.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen remained silent.

"Just wait! The demons will eventually reveal their weaknesses."

Luo Chen released Xiao Die, ordering it to patrol and guard the surrounding area.

……

underwater.

Inside a hidden cave.

A faint yet highly spiritual aura flickered, its light and shadow shifting uncertainly.

Sensing that martial artists had entered the territory.

The being in the cave poked its body out, examined the area for a moment, and then withdrew.

"Too weak. The only major city nearby is Qingyuan City. What a pity, what a pity."

An old whisper echoed from underwater.

In the blink of an eye, deathly silence returned, and no signs of life could be detected.

……

afternoon.

Luo Chen instructed the other demon-suppressing envoys to inspect the villages along the way.

He sat quietly by the riverbank, waiting.

"If what the villagers say is true, this demon is definitely not weak, it wouldn't be so interested in the flesh and blood of these ordinary people."

"Is it fighting with other living beings, or is it trying to lure the Demon Suppression Division here?"

Luo Chen thought of Zhuge Yucheng again.

It was unusual that he suddenly received this task.

But without any evidence, you must follow the arrangements.

Luo Chen was no longer in a hurry; he focused on protecting the nearby villages.

If this demon has any ulterior motives, it will surely reveal itself; all we need to do is wait.

Finally, Luo Chen's gaze fell upon the lifespan within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Lifespan: 17/2178.

"I also need to improve my Vajra Body, as it greatly enhances my combat power. Finally, I'll try to deduce the Three Hundred and Sixty Acupoints Technique."

Luo Chen muttered to himself, his figure flickered, and he moved away from the riverbank, heading towards the hill.

He wasn't arrogant enough to break through in the most dangerous place on the riverbank.
