Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Deep in the Bailong River.

Despite being shrouded in darkness, the Crystal Palace, enveloped by the Glazed Array, still radiated a dazzling brilliance.

Ao Sheng walked alone in the tall crystal palace.

His slightly gloomy vertical pupils were reflected on the smooth crystal wall.

They walked through a series of empty halls and stopped in front of a crystal gate that was a hundred feet high at the very back.

Ao Sheng respectfully bowed to the ground and said softly.

"Father, the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion has made its move, and I have no choice but to withdraw temporarily."

It felt like a long time had passed, yet also like only a fleeting moment.

A deep, resonant voice came from behind the crystal door.

"The Prince of Zhenbei came to see me personally, so the matter was dropped."

Ao Sheng suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Father, that old tortoise knows far too much!"

"It doesn't matter, even if Li Changsheng really tells the Prince of Zhenbei about our plan, it won't be a problem."

They heard noises coming from behind the crystal door.

A sharp light shone in Ao Sheng's vertical pupils.

"Father, the Prince of Zhenbei, he..."

"Heh, the Prince of Zhenbei is ambitious, but he's been suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty for two hundred years. He's nothing to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Sheng bowed respectfully, rose, and walked out of the Crystal Palace.

In a blink of an eye,

The Crystal Palace, standing deep in the Bailong River, has once again returned to its former tranquility.

No one mentioned the deceased Ao Yuan, as if he were a dispensable nobody.

……

three days later.

The water flow of the Bailong River tributary is gradually stabilizing.

But the controversy surrounding this matter is far from over.

Since that day, the probability of encountering water monsters along this branch has increased dramatically.

In just three days, dozens of fishing villages were attacked by water monsters.

Hundreds of people lost their lives as a result.

Fortunately, the demon-suppressing guards along the way did not completely withdraw, otherwise the death toll would have been several times higher.

scoff!

A demon that looked like a big-headed fish with dead fish eyes was instantly beheaded.

Luo Chen sheathed his sword and stood there, his eyes calm.

Only the information that occasionally pops into his mind can bring him some comfort.

Lifespan: 17/2589.

In those three days, he personally killed five demons, who contributed nearly a thousand years of lifespan to him.

Looking at the ceaselessly flowing river in front of me.

Luo Chen gently wiped the golden scales in his hand.

"Boss, this is the third demon in the vicinity."

Wang Yue and his group came from upstream. In addition, two demon-suppressing envoys behind them were dragging a demon with them.

These are all achievements.

Luo Chen couldn't possibly deny his demon-suppressing envoys even a sip of soup just to extend his lifespan.

He doesn't lack lifespan now; what he lacks is the visualization of divine intent.

The corpses of today's three-headed demons were piled together.

The group only took some valuable materials from the demons. These materials were considered merits, and after the Demon Suppression Division completed its record-keeping, the group could sell these demon materials on their own.

That's a considerable amount of income.

After dealing with the demon's corpse and collecting all the valuable materials from it, the group threw a fire on the body.

The group stood on the riverbank.

Luo Chen gazed at the upstream of the river, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"This demon is appearing far too frequently."

Wang Yue plopped down on the shore to rest, and said in a serious tone.

Luo Chen nodded. "The Dragon Palace retreated this time with a lot of resentment."

"The Bailong River is wide and vast, and there are countless water monsters and demons that have become spirits. Driving some of them over is not a problem."

"Hehe, boss, this is a huge achievement!"

Cao Wu chuckled as he counted the demon materials.

"This branch is now teeming with demons, so the Demon Suppression Division will surely send a Demon Suppression Captain to guard this place long-term, patrolling day and night."

"Isn't this a tremendous opportunity!"

"The Demon Suppression Division has probably already started selecting patrol captains."

Wang Yue shook his head slightly and sighed.

"It's going to be unsettling in the villages along this route."

"This trend of rampant demons depends on the attitude of the Dragon Palace."

Luo Chen toyed with a silver scale between his fingers, speaking in a cryptic tone.

"We can't influence things during this period; we'll just have to wait for someone from above to take over our duties."

Shangguan Changyue would definitely not allow herself to stay here to deal with some minor demons.

That would be a huge waste of talent.

Luo Chen also clearly understood that there was too little time.

In a few days, a Demon Suppression Captain will surely arrive with his Demon Suppression Guards to take over this place.

Luo Chen's consciousness sank into his mind, and he sensed a space that was three meters long and wide.

This is the storage space carried on the silver scale in my hand.

Luo Chen has already completed the process of recognizing a master over these three days.

Aside from some miscellaneous items, there were only three Xuanqiao Demon Cores, which were of some value.

Of course, there are also some gold and silver jewelry, such as silver and gold.

All of these combined are not as precious as a single Xuanqiao Inner Core, after all, it is a treasure that assists in cultivation.

As for the cultivation manuals he was hoping for, there wasn't a single one available.

This made Luo Chen secretly feel a little regretful for a while.

Take a short break.

The crowd dispersed, settling among the nearby villages to silently guard the area.

Luo Chen walked step by step to the hill he had occupied.

He took out the palm-sized blue turtle from his sleeve pocket.

"Hey! The broken turtle shell on its back is healing!"

Luo Chen thought to himself that it was amazing and examined it closely.

The broken shell on the back of the originally blue turtle was held together by the flesh underneath, preventing it from falling off.

After a few days, the tortoise shell had been pieced together into a single unit.

It's like a complete tortoise shell pieced together, covered with countless cracks, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

But Luo Chen knew exactly how hard this seemingly broken tortoise shell was.

Even when the aftershocks of his fierce battle with Ao Yuan reached it, it remained unharmed.

"Senior Li, the Dragon Palace has retreated."

Luo Chen held the tortoise in his palm and called out to it softly.

There was no response for a long time.

Luo Chen sighed softly and put the North Sea Black Tortoise back into his sleeve.

……

One day later.

The Demon Lord of Qingyuan Town acted faster than they had imagined.

On this day, a messenger landed in front of Luo Chen.

The message was very short; it simply told them to gather at a certain place for the handover.

Luo Chen stood up and led his five subordinates to a makeshift camp.

At this moment, Xiao Xiuzhu was already waiting in front of the camp.

The two met and nodded slightly to each other.

Their gazes fell upon the group of Demon-Suppressing Guards in the center of the camp.

A familiar figure walked towards them with a smile.

Zhuge Yucheng had a smiling face.

"You two have worked hard. I will personally take over the management of this section of the river."

Behind him, Luo Chen's eyes flashed, and he saw several familiar figures.

These were the five demon-suppressing envoys previously assigned to him.

At this moment, the five demon-suppressing envoys also saw Luo Chen, who was sizing them up.

He immediately puffed out his chest and followed behind Zhuge Yucheng, looking exactly like a lackey.

Wang Yue and the others behind Luo Chen were furious.

I didn't see you when things were most dangerous, but now that the storm has passed, you're here to reap the rewards, only to be behind others.

This ignited a nameless fire in the heart of the Demon Suppressor, who was gradually developing respect for Luo Chen.

But they could only suppress their anger, unwilling to cause trouble for Luo Chen.

After all, Zhuge Yucheng was a deputy chief commander.

But will Luo Chen tolerate it?

"Deputy Commander, those five are disobeying orders and refusing to be disciplined."

"You can take this robe off now!"

Luo Chen certainly couldn't tolerate even a little bit!
