Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Three days later.

Huangdao Mountain returned to peace.

The representatives of various forces who had come to the capital departed, preparing to welcome Emperor Wu to the throne.

Judging from the smiles on Long Quan and Wu Tianqiong's faces, they must have had a very good discussion.

The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion received full support.

After Emperor Wu ascends the throne, he will likely make some big moves.

Luo Chen wasn't worried about becoming cannon fodder and enjoyed the benefits of becoming the general's personal disciple.

His precious sword was also tempered and refined on the third day.

The blade itself remained unchanged, but it felt dozens of times heavier. When the true energy was channeled and the golden scales were unleashed, its power was greatly enhanced.

More importantly, the golden scales were imbued with a spiritual radiance. If nurtured for several hundred years, they might give birth to a sword spirit and become a divine weapon.

Luo Chen liked it very much.

One month later.

Emperor Wu emerged from seclusion, his imperial destiny now firmly established, and his aura becoming even more unfathomable.

When he learned that Luo Chen had been accepted as a disciple by Long Quan.

He even personally summoned Luo Chen.

This can be considered the first formal meeting between the two.

【Martial Fortune (Nine Rebirths): 1209/2599.】

"Your master and I are as close as brothers, so there's no need for formalities."

Emperor Wu is currently at the peak of his power and has accomplished such a feat, so he is naturally in high spirits.

He smiled and said to Wu Tianqiong and Luo Chen below.

"You two represent the pinnacle of the younger generation in my North, and we should encourage each other to make progress."

Faced with Emperor Wu's warm greetings, Luo Chen was flattered and overwhelmed.

I will not attend the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Keep this token; from now on, we're family."

A gleaming gold token floated towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen accepted the token with both hands, looked at the golden dragon pattern on it, and bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you two can go now."

Luo Chen and Wu Tianqiong respectfully departed.

Emperor Wu then smiled and spoke to Long Quan, who had remained silent to the side.

"Brother Quan, your disciple is quite remarkable."

"I can't even see through his cultivation level!"

Listening to Emperor Wu's words.

Long Quan smiled calmly, "Luo Chen has his own opportunities; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this with just his talent."

"Didn't you ask him what his specific level of cultivation was?"

Emperor Wu asked curiously.

"I didn't ask."

Long Quan said frankly.

"My youngest apprentice witnessed the death of his parents at a young age, which weighed heavily on his mind. Although he is humble, he is cold at heart."

"I never helped him before he gained power."

It's normal for you to have some secrets from me.

"That's Luo Chen's personality; he's clear about his gratitude and grudges. You'll see his true colors after spending time with him."

Long Quan said a lot and saw things very clearly.

The main purpose was to dispel Emperor Wu's resentment towards Luo Chen.

Emperor Wu remained silent.

But having spent hundreds of years with him, Long Quan naturally knew that Emperor Wu had taken his advice to heart.

Smile.

The two tacitly skipped the topic and began discussing the upcoming coronation ceremony.

……

As Emperor Wu emerged from the pass.

The Demon Suppression Division began to disband, with its members going off to different parts of the northern border.

Luo Chen stood in front of the camp, personally watching Xiao Xiuzhu and the others leave, just as he always did.

It's been almost two years since I left Qingyuan City.

Unable to return this time, he entrusted Xiao Xiuzhu to deliver some resources and treasures to the Liu residence.

In the past year or so, he destroyed twenty-nine demon lands and destroyed ten shrines, and his net worth skyrocketed.

He didn't demand much from resources, so he naturally amassed a considerable fortune.

"That little girl must be all grown up by now."

"Once I've established myself in Zhenbei City, I'll bring her over."

Luo Chen thought to himself silently.

"Let's go, my disciple."

Long Quan came to Luo Chen's side and said with a smile.

"Yes, Master."

Luo Chen was led by Long Quan and rushed to Zhenbei City.

Zhenbei City is the foremost of the twelve cities in the northern border region, and the core of power.

The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion and the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division are both located here.

It is not far from Huangdao Mountain.

At Longquan's speed, he arrived in three hours.

Outside Zhenbei City.

On a towering, colossal mountain peak.

The Demon Suppression Bureau's tower stands atop this summit, its foundation built of black iron, the nine-story pavilion solemn and imposing.

Below the clouds lies a bottomless abyss, where occasionally monstrous demonic energy surges, only to be absorbed and suppressed by a demon-suppressing cauldron atop the peak.

Luo Chen looked curiously at the bottomless abyss beneath his feet, the demonic aura emanating from it making him tremble slightly.

"This is the Demon Suppression Prison, where only valuable demons are imprisoned."

Long Quan and Luo Chen stood atop the mountain and spoke softly.

Luo Chen always kills demons without hesitation.

I just didn't expect that the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division would also have the Demon Suppression Prison.

It was as if he had thought of something.

Luo Chen asked.

"Master, is the dragon from the White Dragon River Palace also suppressed here?"

"Exactly." Long Quan nodded and explained.

"As long as the Dragon Palace's holy beings live, this dragon will not die!"

Luo Chen sighed inwardly.

Even if you have a being who has undergone nine cycles of Nirvana behind you, you will still end up as a prisoner.

He became even more vigilant, reminding himself not to get carried away.

Becoming a disciple of Longquan requires even greater caution.

Because he would inevitably become a key target of hostile forces, or even a target to be killed.

"I'll have someone show you around here. You'll have to handle any problems that arise from here on out."

Long Quan patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and then disappeared.

Luo Chen was puzzled and hadn't even figured out what trouble he would be in before Long Quan disappeared.

At the entrance of the nine-story pavilion, a middle-aged man slowly walked out, his respectful demeanor carrying a hint of scrutiny, but he concealed it well.

Luo Chen, a young man who had not lived more than fifty years in either his past or present life, was unaware of this.

"Young Master Luo, the General has asked me to show you around."

You can call me Ding He.

[Ding He (Divine Heart and Profound Understanding): 389/604.]

"Lord Ding, thank you for your trouble."

Luo Chen clasped his hands in thanks.

The two of them walked down the mountainside pavilion.

This entire towering peak and dozens of surrounding mountains are the territory of the Demon Suppression Headquarters.

All those who come and go possess spiritual cultivation.

Luo Chen's arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up emotions in some people.

"Lord Ding, I am my master's third disciple. What about my other two senior brothers? Aren't they in the Demon Suppression Division?"

Luo Chen was the youngest disciple.

Logically speaking, he should have visited his two senior brothers upon arriving here.

Ding He glanced at Luo Chen's expression and realized that the Third Young Master truly didn't know, so he organized his thoughts and spoke.

"The General's eldest disciple is currently in ancient Huazhou, while his second disciple has gone on campaign with the army and should be stationed at Juxiong Pass!"

"Ancient Huazhou?"

Luo Chen frowned. Gu Huazhou was located in the center of the Nine Provinces, which was the enemy's main base.

Ding He's words were cryptic.

Luo Chen could still detect something different.

Was he arrested? Or did he betray his country?

Various guesses flashed through his mind, but he said it was a pity.

"It's a pity I couldn't meet my two senior brothers this time."

Recalling the first time I met Long Quan.

In that pavilion, Long Quan had said that the Demon Suppression Division was lacking a successor.

His words clearly indicated that he intended to groom his third disciple to be the successor of the Demon Suppression Division.

It seems that the two senior brothers mentioned above have no interest in this.

Luo Chen secretly analyzed the complex relationships within the Demon Suppression Division.

Time slips away quietly!

The grand ceremony for Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne is approaching!
