Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

"Awesome!"

After listening to Luo Chen's brief description.

Xiao Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up.

A swear word slipped out.

The two spent a considerable amount of time together during this mission.

Working together frequently, she also learned some of the vocabulary that Luo Chen occasionally used.

The two supported each other as they arrived at the ruins of the collapsed eight-armed stone Buddha.

Xiao Xiuzhu looked at Zhuge Yucheng's corpse with complicated emotions.

"Zhuge Yucheng is dead, so we will have to bear the responsibility for this loss ourselves."

"He might just retire on the spot."

Luo Chen gave a wry smile and fell silent.

Xiao Xiuzhu did not ask him in detail how he had defeated the demon all by himself.

This young man is hiding his true abilities very well.

The key factor is his age.

If you think about it too much, your martial arts spirit might just crumble on the spot.

In any case, Luo Chen saved his life.

If the Demon Suppression Division punishes them afterwards.

Xiao Xiuzhu also planned to shoulder the burden alone.

As for whether he, a mere demon-suppressing captain, could withstand it.

Even if you can't carry it, you have to carry it!

In the silence.

The two casually found an open space to sit cross-legged and recover their strength.

One hour later.

At the edge of the sky, Shangguan Changyue swept across the sky.

A streak of light landed in front of the two of them.

A quick glance.

The general situation on the scene was all in sight.

Luo Chen and Xiao Xiuzhu stood up and bowed.

Shangguan Changyue took a deep breath; she had just arrived from the main camp, tracing the trail of destruction along the way.

I had already considered the worst-case scenario in my mind.

I never expected this scene to unfold.

"I'm sorry, Zhuge Yucheng's downfall is also my responsibility."

After listening to Luo Chen's description.

Shangguan Changyue looked at Zhuge Yucheng's corpse with a complicated expression.

She didn't mean to hold anyone accountable.

Instead, he apologized to both of them first.

"You flatter me, Commander. It is I who have failed in my duty of patrolling."

Xiao Xiuzhu bowed in greeting.

Shangguan Changyue didn't say anything more.

In no time at all.

The surviving Demon Guards who had narrowly escaped death slowly gathered in the camp.

The crowd carried away Zhuge Yucheng's corpse and the broken body of the eight-armed stone Buddha.

Luo Chen stood in the crowd.

He exchanged a glance with Xiao Xiuzhu and remained silent.

Thereafter.

Half a month.

Shangguan Changyue, the chief commander of the Demon Division of Qingyuan Town, personally oversees the Bailong River tributary.

The reinforcements from the Demon Suppression Division slowly arrived.

The reconstruction work has begun in an orderly manner.

In the main camp.

Shangguan Changyue and Luo Chen sat upright inside.

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then spoke softly, revealing his guess.

"Changyue, Bailongjiang must be behind Zhuge Yucheng and the Eight-Armed Stone Buddha this time."

Shangguan Changyue glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, but did not ask him about his strength.

He said it only softly.

"The Dragon Palace might have fueled the flames, but how did Zhuge Yucheng come into contact with the Eight-Armed Stone Buddha and develop the idea of ​​refining him?"

"There are hidden forces pulling this up behind the scenes."

Silence fell over the camp.

a long time.

Shangguan Changyue stood up and said in a complicated tone.

"I will resign from my official post upon returning this time!"

Luo Chen came to her side, opened his mouth, but then fell silent.

"Don't overthink it. The losses this time are so great that I, as the commander-in-chief, cannot shirk my responsibility."

"Your talent is unparalleled; cultivate diligently!"

Shangguan Changyue is gone.

Luo Chen stood at the entrance of the camp, watching the figure disappear into the horizon.

At this time.

Xiao Xiuzhu also came to Luo Chen's side.

He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said softly.

"Let's go, we should head back too."

After half a month of rectification, the matter here has come to an end.

The Demon Suppression Captains sent by the Demon Suppression Division to patrol this river have also arrived.

They should both go back and report.

Luo Chen nodded slightly and led Wang Yue and the others who were already waiting outside the camp toward Qingyuan City.

……

three days later.

The storm gradually subsided.

Shangguan Changyue took full responsibility and resigned from his position as the head of the Demon Suppression Division.

For a time,

The entire town of Qingyuan was suddenly filled with undercurrents of turmoil.

As one of the twelve major cities in the northern border, Qingyuan City's Demon Suppression Division commands over a thousand Demon Suppression Guards, wielding considerable power.

It's important to know that these Demon-Suppressing Guards are not ordinary martial artists.

Rather, they are warriors who have fought countless battles and have spent years battling demons.

This position is left unoccupied.

In other major cities, some deputy commanders with sufficient merit and seniority immediately became eager to make their move.

Various forces are vying for power.

But it made little difference to Luo Chen.

He was already grateful that he wasn't demoted for this mission, and he didn't even crave credit.

I've been physically and mentally exhausted these past few months, and I haven't had much leisure time.

The Demon Division of Qingyuan Town is currently facing a severe shortage of personnel.

Even he, a demon-suppressing captain who had just returned from a mission, was busy now.

Although he was not assigned any demon-slaying missions.

However, he also needs to handle some official business temporarily.

The Demon Suppression Division.

The top floor of Tingfeng Tower.

Luo Chen sat upright at the table, calmly brewing tea.

A faint, pleasant fragrance drifted gently through the air.

Living with Liu Xingsheng for a long time, he also developed a love for drinking tea.

Opposite to him.

Xiao Xiuzhu sat quietly cross-legged.

The two had become sworn brothers after their battle against the Eight-Armed Stone Buddha.

"I didn't expect Lord Souji to cause such a big stir in the few days since I came back."

Xiao Xiuzhu picked up the hot tea that Luo Chen had poured, took a small sip, and said with emotion.

Luo Chen's gaze shifted, and he spoke in a cryptic tone.

"I heard that the city lord of Qingyuan City was defeated and killed."

Xiao Xiuzhu put down his teacup and corrected him. "It means that all the city lords of the twelve cities in the Northern Territory are now members of the Royal Palace."

Even as the Great Qian Dynasty gradually weakened.

But it was, after all, a powerful dynasty that had stood for three thousand years.

Thousands of years have passed.

The Great Qian Dynasty has completely lost control of the northern border.

Luo Chen also felt somewhat uneasy.

The situation was turbulent.

No one knows whether this king of the North will suddenly start a war.

Faced with this general trend.

My own strength is like that of an ant.

How to protect your family in the face of impending chaos.

Only one's own strength.

Luo Chen is now increasingly eager for the visualization diagram of the divine realm.

However, his achievements were far from sufficient to obtain the visualization diagram from the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Luo Chen, with your talent and strength, joining the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion should be a piece of cake."

Xiao Xiuzhu said with a smile.

"The Commander-in-Chief has left with the Princess of Zhenbei, and his future is still bright. You were promoted by the Commander-in-Chief, so you will have someone to take care of you if you enter the Prince's Palace."

He still addressed Shangguan Changyue as "Commander-in-Chief," without changing it.

At the same time, he also envied Luo Chen.

At such a young age, his strength already far surpasses his.

This is someone who is qualified to stand at the pinnacle of the North.

He dared not think of, nor could he imagine, any grander goals.

"Even if the Commander-in-Chief resigns, he is still one of the top three talents on the Hidden Dragon List. How can I compare to him?"

Luo Chen, being habitually reluctant to reveal too much of his strength, humbly replied.

Xiao Xiuzhu just smiled when she heard his perfunctory reply.

After chatting for a while, they went their separate ways.

From Luo Chen's sleeve, a palm-sized blue tortoise slowly crawled out and landed on the table in front of him.

"Senior, how is your injury recovery going?"

"It'll be tough, and it'll take decades to fully recover."

"In order to better protect our predecessors, do you have any visualization diagrams passed down?"

Luo Chen revealed the true nature of the scheme, staring intently at it.
