The above system of classifying the bloodline grades of demons is basically only circulated among the forces in the prefectural city.

Firstly, powerful demons are rarely seen in small places like county towns and prefecture cities.

Secondly, even if they exist, unless it's a famous monster like a dragon, most people can't actually distinguish between ordinary bloodlines and rare bloodlines.

Because for ordinary martial artists, they are actually not very good at defeating him.

Not to mention the rare bloodline that requires cultivating high-grade true qi to deal with.

Even among those of mortal bloodline, a significant portion need to cultivate mid-grade true qi in order to avoid being at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.

If it's just low-grade true qi, even against ordinary blood types, it would require the combined efforts of several people.

Moreover, as the quality of demonic creatures increases, martial artists with low-grade true qi will find it increasingly difficult to fight them.

The Qi Condensation Realm is alright, but once you reach the Meridian Opening Realm, low-grade true qi can only connect the twelve major meridians, and you can't even open the auxiliary meridians.

Even if one were to break through to the sixth level of the Aperture Opening Realm by sheer luck, with low-grade true qi, one could only barely open the smallest physical aperture, and would be completely unable to open the spiritual aperture.

This level of strength would be difficult even for the weakest sixth-tier demon to handle.

Not to mention the Green Snail Demon, which is considered a top-tier powerful demon even among mortal bloodlines.

It can only be said that although there is no clear distinction between bloodline ranks among people, there is an invisible gap between people in terms of their inherent qualities, talents, and comprehension.

..................

"The abbot of Ghost Lantern Temple is no weaker than a rare bloodline demon at the sixth-order perfection level."

Lu Zongsong said this.

"Oh?"

Mu Yang looked at his cold, stern face, met his gaze, and said, "So, you think you can handle this?"

"One-on-one, I can take it down," Lu Zongsong said frankly.

"One-on-one?"

Mu Yang had no doubt about Lu Zongsong's strength, but judging from what he said, Ghost Lantern Temple had more than just the abbot as a powerful martial artist.

"The day before yesterday, a monk from the Vajra Temple came to visit. His aura was similar to that of the abbot of the Ghost Lantern Temple," Lu Zongsong said.

Three days ago, he brought Gu Lingyun and another person to Ghost Lantern Town, and then he went up the mountain alone to investigate.

Firstly, it was to investigate the human trafficking issues at Ghost Lantern Temple and Demon King Mountain.

Secondly, we need to see if Fu Yu's disappearance is related to the Ghost Lantern Temple.

It wasn't that the Demon Slaying Division of Anling Prefecture had any definite information; it was simply because the only significant power near Qingluo Mountain, where Fu Yu had disappeared, was the Ghost Lantern Temple.

Naturally, Gui Deng Temple became a key target for investigation.

The task of the investigation naturally fell to Lu Zongsong, who was coming to Guideng Temple.

After a day of investigation, Lu Zongsong made a judgment in his mind.

During the day, the abbot of Guideng Temple maintains the image of a high-ranking monk, appearing quite kind and occasionally greeting visiting pilgrims in a friendly manner.

But at night, he would go alone and quietly enter the deeply hidden secret passage.

Fearing that he might alert the enemy, Lu Zongsong kept watch outside all night.

Until the other party reappeared from the secret passage.

He intended to take action directly, but just then, monks from the Vajra Temple came to visit.

His status was not low; he was Mingjing, the chief disciple of the current abbot of Jingang Temple.

He not only mastered the Vajra Lapis Lazuli Body, a horizontal martial art of the Vajra Temple, but also perfected another horizontal martial art, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

Its physical strength is comparable to that of a sixth-tier rare bloodline demon.

If it weren't for his young age and lack of notable achievements, unlike Jingchan who could physically confront a dragon, Mingjing's reputation would probably be no less than Jingchan's.

Therefore, Lu Zongsong decisively retreated and prepared to call for reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yang appeared only one day after the message was sent.

Judging from Mu Yang's performance, he is quite strong, and he should be able to hold off at least one of them.

That's why Lu Zongsong came looking for him.

He was confident he could take down Jingchan if given just 15 minutes.

"So, you're here to find help?"

Mu Yang looked at Lu Zongsong.

Lu Zongsong nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes."

Lei Xing:.........

No, do you have some serious illness? Is this the kind of attitude you get when you ask for help?

Lei Xing remained silent.

She only knew that Lu Zongsong had a great reputation and was quite powerful, but she never expected that he would have such a personality.

Xie Xu and the others standing to the side also had rather varied expressions.

There was both surprise at Lu Zongsong's character and shock at Lu Zongsong's request for Mu Yang's help.

Even the disciples of the Demon-Suppressing General had to seek help, which shows how powerful the abbot of Ghost Lantern Temple and that monk from Vajra Temple were.

"While I don't really care about other people's attitudes, I'm curious, is this how you always act whenever you ask for help?"

Mu Yang looked Lu Zongsong up and down, quite surprised.

This expressionless man seems even more peculiar than that kid Lei Sai.

At least Lei Sai is just a bit simple-minded; he still knows how to behave appropriately.

But Lu Zongsong gave him the feeling of being somewhat emotionally deficient, much like a robot that had not yet been programmed with intelligence.

"What should I do?"

Lu Zongsong spoke in a detached tone as always.

Mu Yang was completely taken aback by Lu Zongsong's question and immediately became interested: "To be polite, you can use the word 'you' (您), or to be even more courteous, you can add 'please' (请)."

"Please help me."

Lu Zongsong did not hesitate at all, as if he did not care about the details of these words.

Perhaps for him, the only thing to consider is how to quickly complete the task assigned by his master.

Seeing Lu Zongsong say those words with a blank expression, Lei Xing and the others all instinctively widened their eyes.

No, dude, are you really that obedient?

Do you just say whatever I tell you to say?

Mu Yang was also taken aback. This guy seemed to be really different; he didn't care about other people's opinions at all.

Meeting Lu Zongsong's indifferent gaze, Mu Yang slowly spoke, saying something that surprised Lei Xing and the others.

"Very polite, but I declined."

Xie Xu: ? ? ?

Lei Xing: !!!

Lu Zongsong:.........

Why?

Lu Zongsong's emotions seemed to have fluctuated greatly, and his tone of voice was slightly raised, carrying a hint of doubt.

"It's very simple. According to the rules of the Demon Slayer Bureau, during a mission, whoever lays the first hand gets the spoils. I want to keep them all for myself, not share them."

Mu Yang grinned.

He made no attempt to hide his intention to take everything for himself.

In this respect, he is quite similar to Lu Zongsong.

Even if someone else were thinking of taking it all for themselves, they would still have to say a few words of modesty.

But Mu Yang wouldn't be polite at all.

Unless he can't win the fight.

Xie Xu: As expected of Lord Mu, he even justifies taking it all by himself!

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, Lu Zongsong regained his composure, and a detached voice came from his mouth: "I don't want spoils of war."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xing and Xie Xu instinctively looked at Mu Yang.

They were curious to see what Mu Yang would say.

Mu Yang ignored the gazes of the crowd, glanced at Lu Zongsong, and then smiled and extended his hand:

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Lu Zongsong:.........

"It's a pleasure working with you."
