Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

[Ao Yuan (Great Perfection of the Mysterious Aperture): 760/1100.]

This is an aquatic creature that has already touched the threshold of the divine realm.

Luo Chen tightened his grip on the golden scales, but his gaze remained calm.

"This demon has left the White Dragon River without permission and has indiscriminately slaughtered hundreds of our Great Qian people!"

"Devouring humans and falling into the path of demons! We, the Demon Suppression Division, will surely kill them!"

As the words fell.

Luo Chen's momentum was equally unyielding.

He was unwilling to provoke Bailongjiang, but he would not tolerate the indiscriminate killing of civilians within his jurisdiction.

"interesting."

Ao Yuan smiled and suddenly withdrew his imposing aura.

It clasped its hands in a fist salute to Luo Chen and said with a smile.

"So, it's because my Dragon Palace wasn't vigilant enough that killing him is no big deal!"

His tone was nonchalant, completely unlike his previous arrogance.

Luo Chen couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, so he just watched quietly.

Ao Yuan didn't waste any words and looked at the Bailongjiang branch behind him.

"A traitor from my Dragon Palace has escaped into this tributary. I have been ordered to pursue him. I hope the Demon Suppression Division will grant me this request."

Ao Yuan smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was increasingly surprised.

Are humans truly so blessed by nature?

This person is so young, yet I sensed a dangerous aura about him.

But thinking about the mission of this trip.

Ao Yuan, unwilling to clash with the Demon Suppression Division, chose to back down.

The Demon Suppression Division has a deep foundation, and even though the Dragon Palace is a powerful and influential family, it cannot be easily provoked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen remained expressionless and replied.

"I cannot make the decision for the Bailongjiang aquatic tribes to enter the territory of my Qingyuan City; I need the Commander's permission."

"Yes, yes, please inform them when you return, sir."

"We will certainly not harm the people along the way."

Ao Yuan believed he had already humbled himself considerably.

Luo Chen looked at the other person and raised an eyebrow.

"Your Excellency, the people of your Dragon Palace have slaughtered the people of my Great Qian Dynasty. This matter cannot be left unresolved."

"I will certainly report to the commander-in-chief. What the commander-in-chief decides is none of my business."

Ao Yuan remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

With a gritted tooth, he took out a bright pearl from his bosom and said with some reluctance.

"This is the core of a great demon at the peak of the Profound Aperture realm. I hope you will put in a good word for me, brother."

Luo Chen chuckled and, without any hesitation, caught the pearl that was tossed to him.

Upon closer inspection, one can immediately sense the vast and pure essence of heaven and earth contained within.

nice one.

He calmly stored it in his spatial treasure.

cough cough.

He coughed lightly twice.

"Please do not move around. I will go back and report to the Demon Suppression Division immediately."

Luo Chen accepted the favor and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, please hurry! This traitor is extremely cunning; we can't afford to delay."

"If this traitor massacres civilians, my Dragon Palace will not be responsible."

Ao Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said sincerely.

As for the authenticity of the words.

That remains to be seen.

"What crime has the traitor you're looking for committed?"

Luo Chen asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is a family scandal of my Dragon Palace, so I won't say any more about it."

Ao Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.

Luo Chen smiled, turned and left, his expression gradually becoming serious.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Watching Luo Chen's retreating figure, the group of aquatic creatures behind him remained silent.

They were used to running rampant in the Bailong River, and they couldn't stand this humiliation.

Immediately, a member of the aquatic tribesmen holding a silver fork stepped forward and whispered something behind Ao Yuan.

"Chief, should I go and kill him?"

"Even I, the chief, am confident I can kill him. You're going?"

Ao Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his tone turned gloomy.

If he hadn't felt threatened by Luo Chen, how could he have backed down like this?

Therefore, they also lost an extremely precious demon core.

The thought of that inner core belonging to Luo Chen was unbearable.

Ao Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The fawning aquatic creatures around him felt uneasy under their gaze and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word.

"Go back first and inform the Ancestor."

"Yes, Chief!"

Ao Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing in the direction of Qingyuan City.

Finally, he departed with all the aquatic creatures.

……

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Boss, what was that just now?"

Luo Chen returned to the village and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that all the villagers had been evacuated.

He nodded to his subordinates who were coming towards him.

"If the Shui people from Bailongjiang come to visit, I will report to headquarters and appease the people first."

He didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the group of demon-suppressing envoys did not ask any further questions.

They began to appease the people until they all returned to the village.

Luo Chen spoke softly to everyone.

"Fellow villagers, the demon has been slain, you can rest assured."

He declined the enthusiastic invitation from the people.

Luo Chen glanced back at the rushing river, his heart heavy.

The lives and deaths of ordinary people are not in their own hands; they are left to fate.

If the aquatic creatures don't follow the rules, the first to be affected will be the villages and communities along the way.

But he was just a minor demon-suppressing captain, and couldn't change anything.

"I hope you don't do anything foolish."

Otherwise, he will surely raze the Dragon Palace of Bailongjiang to the ground in the future!

Luo Chen has the confidence and assurance to back it up.

Back on the nearby hill, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on a blue stone and took out a messenger from his spatial treasure.

Write down briefly what just happened.

The text focuses on the Bailongjiang Shui people's application to enter the river in Qingyuan City in search of a traitor.

Place the note into the messenger's back compartment and gently activate it.

After watching the messenger depart, the group began to set up camp.

Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the river flow below.

In the river, the aquatic creatures did not go far, but remained beneath the water.

They are all waiting for a reply.

Luo Chen was worried that if he left, the aquatic creatures would become unruly and start causing trouble, so he chose to stay and guard the area.

And so they waited, and a whole day passed.

……

Qingyuan City.

Deep within the Demon Suppression Bureau, in a small attic.

Shangguan Changyue sat upright at her desk. On the desk in front of her was a sheet of Xuan paper containing the intelligence sent back by Luo Chen.

"Bailong River!"

She turned slightly and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman on the chaise lounge to the side.

Leng Ruxue, bathed in sunlight, gently rocked in her deck chair, thoroughly enjoying herself.

After listening to Shangguan Changyue's report, Leng Ruxue nodded gently.

"I did hear recently that a treasure was indeed lost from the Bailongjiang Dragon Palace."

"It seems that the demon who stole the Dragon Palace's treasure fled into the nearby river."

Shangguan Changyue frowned slightly.

Seeing her like this, Leng Ruxue chuckled and said.

"No need to worry, the one in the Dragon Palace wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

During their conversation.

outside the window,

A streak of light arrived in the blink of an eye and landed on the table in front of the two.

Sensing the fluctuations of the water element above, the two exchanged a glance.

Leng Ruxue reached out and picked it up; it was a jade slip with a lustrous, glassy sheen.

He casually flipped through it for a moment, then handed it to Shangguan Changyue.

She continued.

"It seems that the lost treasure of the Dragon Palace is very important to them."

"Even this old mudfish came personally to explain the situation."

Shangguan Changyue put down the jade slip, spread out a sheet of Xuan paper, and sent a message to Luo Chen.
