At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

the other side.

"Captain Xie, who is that girl?"

A captain asked curiously.

"I don't know, he's a new face, probably a captain from out of town," Xie Xu said.

"Is it possible that they're also after Hozukiji Temple?" Lei Xing guessed from the side.

"That's possible."

Xie Xu expressed his agreement.

Although Ghost Lantern Town is prosperous, all of this is based on the flourishing incense offerings of Ghost Lantern Temple.

There's nothing particularly special about Ghost Lantern Town itself.

The other party was a first-class demon-hunting captain, and he had come from afar.

It couldn't possibly be as simple as just passing by.

"Could he be a captain from Anling Prefecture?"

Lei Xing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Fu Yu's disappearance is suspected to be related to the Ghost Lantern Temple, and the Anshun County Demon Slaying Division has already reported the matter. It is possible that the other party is the advance team sent to investigate.

only......

Lei Xing recalled the girl whose neck had just been grabbed by Mu Yang.

With this level of expertise, are they really capable of uncovering any clues...?

Lei Xing is hesitant for the time being.

"Mr. Mu!"

Just then, Mu Yang suddenly appeared, and Xie Xu and the others immediately greeted him.

Logically speaking, they are all demon-hunting captains, so they can simply call out their names.

But the sight of the Green Snail Demon's shattered corpse that day was still so shocking that they now subconsciously use honorifics.

"What do you think? Is he a captain from Anling Prefecture?" Lei Xing immediately voiced his guess.

Mu Yang nodded: "That's true, but the purpose is different."

Mu Yang roughly guessed Lei Xing's idea.

They simply assumed that Gu Lingyun and the others were investigating Fu Yu's disappearance.

Unfortunately, the other party's main objective was to investigate the human trafficking between Ghost Lantern Temple and Medicine King Valley. As for whether they would investigate Fu Yu's disappearance, Mu Yang was not sure.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a chilling aura appeared in Mu Yang's senses.

It was a chilling aura, different from that of ghosts; it felt more like the outward release of ice-attribute true energy.

Following his senses, Mu Yang turned around and saw a cold-looking young man dressed in a dark black outfit standing not far away.

Seemingly noticing that Mu Yang was looking over, he lightly touched the ground with his foot and flashed towards them.

"Lu Zongsong!"

Lei Xing exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing the newcomer.

Lu Zongsong?

Disciples of the Demon-Suppressing General?

Mu Yang murmured to himself, realizing that the person who had been secretly observing him was indeed him.

Indeed, as early as when Mu Yang brought Gu Lingyun to the alley, he keenly sensed that there were people around, and their auras were not weak.

That's why he dismissed Lei Xing and the others, thinking that if the other party made a move, they could fight freely without affecting others.

As for Gu Lingyun?

He's not familiar with me, so let him be affected.

Gu Lingyun:............

Everyone's bullying me, I'm really not going to give up!!

"Lu Zongsong? Could he be General Gu Changkong's disciple? The one known as 'Cold Noodles and Ice Axe'?" Xie Xu stared wide-eyed at the newcomer.

Gu Changkong, as the general guarding Anling Prefecture, was so famous that almost every captain in the Demon Slayer Division was unaware of him.

As his disciple and also serving as the Envoy of the Search Domain, Lu Zongsong was naturally quite famous.

Moreover, the weapon he used was not a common sword or saber, but a pair of rather rare Mandarin Duck Axes.

This makes him even more recognizable.

"Envoy Lu Zongsong greets everyone."

Lu Zongsong came to the group and introduced himself to everyone, but his eyes remained fixed on Mu Yang the whole time, without paying any attention to anyone else.

"Demon-hunting Captain, Mu Yang."

Mu Yang also spoke.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Zongsong's indifferent eyes flickered almost imperceptibly for a moment, as if he were surprised.

The surprise he showed was so subtle that even Mu Yang had difficulty detecting whether his emotions had changed.

"Is there something you need, Envoy Lu Xunyu?"

Mu Yang got straight to the point and subconsciously mobilized his inner energy.

If Lu Zongsong shows any sign of making a move, Mu Yang will not be polite.

The fact that they didn't take action immediately is already out of consideration for the fact that we are all from the Demon Slayer Division.

Lu Zongsong ignored Mu Yang's vigilance and continued in a cold voice, "You've come to investigate the matter of the Anshun County Chief of the Executioners, haven't you?"

Although it was a question, his tone was very certain.

"If so, I suggest you wait in town."

Although Lu Zongsong spoke dismissively of the group, whether it was because of his icy gaze or his expressionless face, everyone felt that he wasn't looking down on anyone, but simply stating his own judgment.

"Although Mu Yang is only a demon-hunting captain, he is quite strong. Three days ago, he independently killed the green snail demon that was entrenched in the Shunyuan River." Lei Xing spoke up for Mu Yang.

She could accept that she and Xie Xu and others were not strong, but she could not tolerate Mu Yang being looked down upon!

She herself had been young, so she knew clearly that youthful spirit, or rather, a person's drive and confidence, would disappear little by little when they were looked down upon by others.

"A mere mortal demon that doesn't even qualify for rare blood is not difficult to kill."

Lu Zongsong spoke calmly.

There was no arrogance in his tone; it was as calm as if he were simply recounting what he had eaten that morning.

"you......"

Lei Xing frowned, wanting to refute, but not knowing where to begin.

She even felt inexplicably that Lu Zongsong's calm tone sounded somewhat familiar.

Oh, by the way, this attitude of treating every demon equally is somewhat similar to Mu Yang's.

Treating all monsters equally means treating them the same, whether they are powerful or weak.

Even if it's a third-tier demon, once its location is confirmed, this guy will chase after it from afar.

"Thin blood, mortal demon?"

Mu Yang didn't pay attention to Lu Zongsong's tone. He could tell at a glance that this man was definitely a straightforward, expressionless person who didn't mean any harm.

What he cares about most is the meaning behind these two words.

Could it be that demons are classified in other ways besides cultivation level?

Adhering to the principle of asking questions when you don't understand, Mu Yang looked at Lu Zongsong.

Unexpectedly, before Mu Yang could speak, he explained, "There are thousands of kinds of demons in the world, but their upper limit is almost determined at the moment of birth."

"All blood-seed demons are born ordinary, without any divine abilities or special characteristics, and their combat strength is mediocre, like that green snail demon you mentioned." Lu Zongsong glanced at Lei Xing and continued.

"Rare bloodlines refer to both their scarcity and the thinness of their bloodline. Because they contain a small amount of the bloodline of rare and precious demons, they are born extraordinary and powerful, such as the dragon clan of the Clear Water Dragon Palace."

"Rare bloodline, born extraordinary, naturally powerful, invincible to ordinary people."

In the end, Lu Zongsong did not provide any further examples.

I don't know if it's because I've never seen it before, or if I'm not familiar with it.

"The Flood Dragon is only considered a second-tier rare bloodline..."

After listening to Lu Zongsong's explanation, Mu Yang immediately grasped the concept.

In other words, the attributes of rare bloodline monsters are likely to start at the purple quality, and there may even be many attributes of higher quality than purple.

I just don't know how strong they are.

That being said, are the so-called mythical beasts of heaven and earth the same as rare bloodline monsters?

Mu Yang remembered that the records of hunting spirit beasts in the "Da Jing Lu" were carried out by the Zhenfu Envoy himself.

Based on his understanding of dragons, he probably wouldn't have allowed the Demon Slayer Division to go to such lengths.
