Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

As the magistrate of Zuoping County, Tang He had naturally heard of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

That's one of the seven top-tier sects, and it belongs to the Jiang family.

Tang He naturally knew more than Wang De; he knew that after Song Xun returned to the Beast Taming Sect, he was not an ordinary disciple.

Instead, he was to succeed as the peak master as a high-ranking member of the Beast Taming Sect. According to Song Xun's previous letter, Tang He also knew that Song Xun was now in the Beast Taming Sect and had successfully succeeded as the peak master, and had gained the recognition of the entire sect.

Tang He felt sorry for Song Xun, who had suffered so much.

Those who can travel with Song Xun right now must hold a very high position in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Therefore, Tang He was very polite to Jiang Wanfeng.

At this moment, Song Xun also spoke up. After all, before entering the yamen, he had seen Tang He frowning as he looked at the files on the table.

Based on what Wang De had just told him, Song Xun guessed that there was a situation of demons causing trouble in Zuoping County.

After all, if it were a normal matter, Wang De wouldn't need to tell Song Xun.

"Uncle Tang, I noticed you looked very serious as you stared at the files on the table. I wonder if something has happened in Zuoping County. Uncle Wang also mentioned it to me."

At this time, Wang De had already taken Song Xun back to the city wall to continue his garrison. Logically speaking, there was no need for Wang De to be in such a hurry.

Song Xun already had a general idea of ​​what was going on, while Tang He hesitated and was unwilling to reveal anything after hearing what Song Xun said.

"Xiao Song, it's nothing serious, don't listen to your Uncle Wang."

Song Xun naturally knew that Tang He didn't want to trouble him, but his roots in this world were in Zuoping County, and Tang He and the others had always treated him sincerely, so Song Xun would definitely help.

"Uncle Tang, I'm also from Zuoping County. You must tell me if you have anything to say."

"Sigh, Xiao Song, you've just returned to the sect and established yourself. It's not easy for a child like you. I've already reported the matter in the county to the prefectural government, and they will send someone to handle it."

"Don't listen to your Uncle Wang. I've already told Wang De not to bother you with these things."

When Song Xun saw that Tang He was still making excuses, he knew that the situation was probably really difficult to resolve, but the more difficult it was, the more he had to take charge.

After all, it would take several more days for the Demon Extermination Bureau in the county town to send people again, and if the situation were urgent, Zuoping County might still be harmed.

"Uncle Tang, I am now the peak master of the Beast Taming Sect, and I have some cultivation myself. If you still consider me a person from Zuoping County, then tell me."

"Yes, Magistrate Tang, Song Xun is very strong now. He might even be more powerful than the people sent by the Demon Extermination Bureau."

The Hantian Dynasty was very peaceful, and there were very few incidents of demonic and evil cultivators causing trouble. Therefore, the dynasty did not set up a demon-slaying bureau in every county.

Instead, a Demon Extermination Division was set up in each county town. Members of the Demon Extermination Division were responsible for dealing with demonic and evil cultivators within the entire county's jurisdiction.

Indeed, during Tang He's nine years in power in Zuoping County, he only encountered two issues that the county government could not resolve.

One is the matter concerning the Song family back then, and the other is the matter at hand right now.

After hearing Jiang Wanfeng speak up for Song Xun and seeing Song Xun's strong insistence, Tang He also told Song Xun about the matter.

"Starting a week ago, a child has been going missing every night in the county. At first, I thought it was a human trafficker, but after searching for several days, I couldn't find any trace of them."

"Yesterday, I used the demon detection device and found that there was a lot of demonic energy in the homes of the missing children."

"A total of seven children are missing?"

Upon hearing Tang He's words, Song Xun also felt that this incident was very serious, since it involved children, which was no small matter.

"Alas, yes, and they are all children under five years old. Now the city is in a state of panic. It is my fault for failing to detect the demons earlier."

Tang He's previously feigned smile had completely vanished. Clearly, this incident had greatly affected him. As the local official of Zuoping County, Tang He felt extremely guilty about what had happened.

However, Song Xun knew that this matter could not be blamed on Tang He, after all, the security within the Hantian Dynasty had always been very good, and there were very few cases of demons causing trouble.

The Demon Extermination Divisions stationed in various prefectures and cities can only carry out a few operations a year, which is already considered a lot.

It was already quite remarkable that Tang He was able to quickly realize that it was the work of demons after only a few days.

"Uncle Tang, there's no need to blame yourself. Leave this to us. Exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path is our mission during this trip down the mountain."

Tang He hesitated for a moment, but after Song Xun demonstrated his aura, Tang He felt relieved.

After all, although Tang He was not a cultivator, in this world of cultivation, someone who could become a county magistrate must at least have some basic understanding of cultivators.

After Song Xun revealed that he had reached the Nascent Soul stage, Tang He entrusted the matter to Song Xun with peace of mind.

"Don't worry, Uncle Tang, I will definitely find out the truth and bring our child back."

Song Xun's promise reassured Tang He, who had been under immense pressure lately.

If I cannot properly resolve this egregious incident, I will have no face to remain in this place where I have ruled for nine years.

Moreover, Tang He knew that the Demon Extermination Bureau of the county town had sent people, and the highest-level Demon Extermination Guards were probably only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

If Song Xun cannot resolve this matter, then even if the Demon Exorcism Guard arrives, it will likely be difficult to make any significant progress.

Tang He prepared a simple meal for Song Xun and the others at his home. Afterwards, Song Xun went home first to offer incense to his parents and master.

Stepping into the Song residence again, Song Xun felt as if he had been transported to another world. The scene before him was both strange and familiar. Most of his memories from his rebirth were actually from the Beast Taming Sect.

However, the Song family mansion before him was a place Song Xun could never forget. Huang Bulang later told Song Xun about the situation when the Song family mansion was massacred.

At that time, Song Xun's parents protected him tightly and were eventually killed. Therefore, Song Xun also had great respect for his parents, whom he had never met in this world.

After offering incense to his parents, Song Xun then began offering incense to his master, Xuanjizi.

Jiang Wanfeng silently accompanied Song Xun at the door.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting Jiang Wanfeng's hair and carrying away the sorrow in Song Xun's heart.

"Let's go and find out who's behind this."

A moment later, Song Xun walked out the door. Jiang Wanfeng patted Song Xun on the shoulder, and the two returned to the yamen together. Xiao Bai and Da Huang had already been taken back into Song Xun's beast-taming space.

Song Xun took the dossier that Tang He handed over.

Over the past seven days, a total of three boys and four girls have gone missing, all around 9 PM...
