Chapter 259 Arrival! Black-Armored Guards!
"Fengyun Sect? The one that sided with the Six Doors in the last Blessed Land election?"
Mu Yang naturally remembered.
After all, he personally killed Lu Chengxian, the deputy sect leader of Fengyun Sect.
Why bring this up all of a sudden?
Could it be...
They're going to wipe out the whole family!
This is a good thing!
Mu Yang's eyes lit up, and he waited for Yuan Yin to continue.
"That's right."
Riding on horseback, Yuan Yin did not notice the change in Mu Yang's eyes. He simply nodded slightly and continued, "Since the Six Doors moved into Liangzhou, many forces have become restless. Some forces that were already somewhat at odds with our Demon Slaying Division have even bowed down to us."
"Fengyun Sect is one of them."
"They thought they were being discreet, but little did they know that my senior brother had already sent people to keep an eye on them. If it weren't for the fear of having no legitimate reason to act and causing a stir in the martial arts world, they would have been history long ago."
"Fortunately, the last election in Fudi gave us a good excuse."
"But simply destroying the Fengyun Sect would yield too little benefit and wouldn't affect the Six Doors. So my senior brother was thinking of a strategy of waiting for the right opportunity, keeping a close eye on the Fengyun Sect, and catching a big fish!"
Big fish?
Those who could be called "big fish" by Senior Brother Yuan Yin must be at least several sixth-level perfect martial artists, or even martial artists with cultivation reaching the seventh level.
The higher-ups of the Six Doors are mostly half-demons.
In other words, facing the Fengyun Sect means at least one sixth-tier half-demon!
Although half-demons cannot equip items, they are excellent whether used as enhancement materials or simply for solidifying equipment.
I don't know if I can get involved.
"Considering that this mission to monitor Fengyun Sect may involve seventh-level martial artists, my senior brother plans to send a deputy general to lead the mission."
Although Yuan Yin's senior brother, Gu Changkong, was only a minor general in charge of suppressing evil.
But in terms of both strength and status, he can be considered the most outstanding of the evil-suppressing generals.
Furthermore, as the highest commander of the Demon Slaying Division of Anling Prefecture, he was naturally qualified to command the other demon-suppressing officers.
However, like the evil-suppressing generals, most of the evil-suppressing generals have their own territories to guard.
Being temporarily reassigned to such a long-duration task is no easy task.
Fortunately, Yuan Yin broke through in time, which relieved Gu Changkong's immediate crisis.
"My senior brother originally wanted me to take you along to experience the difficulty of a direct domain envoy mission, but considering that this mission does not involve demons, I thought I'd discuss it with you in advance. If you don't want to, I can help you find another mission to investigate sixth-tier demons."
After speaking, Yuan Yin looked at Mu Yang, awaiting his choice.
Mu Yang didn't rush to make a choice, but instead asked, "Lord Yuan, can't we do both?"
Yuan Yin:..........
"I knew it! You really are a mission maniac!"
Yuan Yin did not seem surprised by Mu Yang's answer; after a brief silence, he chuckled.
"Of course you can. Unlike the Demon-Seeking Captains, there's no limit to the number of missions a Domain Seeker can undertake. You can take on every single mission if you want... Hey, just think about it, but don't actually do it!"
As they were talking, seeing Mu Yang's somewhat tempted expression, Yuan Yin immediately stopped him from having this crazy idea.
The tasks that Seekers of the Realm must face are either high-level demons or powerful forces, and each task takes a long time.
Taking on a large number of tasks at once is a major hurdle, not to mention the ability to complete them all. The time cost alone is a significant challenge.
If you take on too many tasks but fail to complete them within the allotted time, you will be severely punished.
The reason the Demon Slayer Division established this rule is because in the past, some people overestimated their abilities and suffered heavy losses, including losing their lives.
"Don't worry, Lord Yuan, I know what I'm doing." Mu Yang flashed a bright, sunny smile, revealing a full set of white teeth.
You'd better be...
Yuan Yin didn't say anything more about this matter, after all, if Mu Yang really wanted to do it, it seemed that he couldn't stop him.
"In short, I can help you with the two tasks you want to take on this time. After all, overseeing Fengyunmen will take a long time and can't be rushed. Besides, I'm mainly in charge of this task."
"You could take advantage of this time to accept a quest related to a sixth-tier demon."
Yuan Yin said.
Since Mu Yang is a fighter who uses battle to sustain himself, he naturally wouldn't let Mu Yang do boring surveillance missions with him.
Including Mu Yang was just to let him experience the intensity of the mission and, incidentally, to give him some credit.
..................
The next few days were spent traveling by Mu Yang and his group.
It is worth mentioning that only Mu Yang, Yuan Yin, and Yuan Yuan rode at full speed.
Servants from the Yuan family, for example, would be much slower because they had to drive carriages to transport supplies.
About ten days later, the outlines of Anling Prefecture City and Anling Prefecture Demon Slaying Division appeared before the three of them.
Just like the Demon Slaying Division in the county town, the Demon Slaying Division in the prefectural town is also located outside the city, but it is obviously larger in area and has more people.
According to Yuan Yin, the Demon Slaying Division of Anling Prefecture was more like a small town than a camp.
In addition to the current members of the Demon Slayer Division, there are also family members of the Demon Slayer Division members and descendants of deceased members of the Demon Slayer Division.
There were even many merchant caravans coming here to do business, making it a bustling and lively place.
"That must be the Demon-Slaying Division of Anling Prefecture!"
Mu Yang reined in his horse and gazed ahead.
About twenty miles outside the main city of Anling Prefecture, a huge city stood.
The city wall is about ten zhang high, similar in height to the city wall of Qinghe County, but its material is clearly superior.
The entire structure is made of dark blue-black boulders, with molten iron poured into the gaps between them, making it difficult to leave any marks even with knives or axes.
On the city wall, there is a towering arrow tower every ten feet or so.
Inside each arrow tower, two enormous mountain-crushing crossbows were prominently displayed.
These military heavy weapons, which required considerable effort to acquire even ten of in Medicine King Valley, were surprisingly commonplace in the Demon Slayer Division.
Outside the city gate, squads of soldiers from the Demon Slayer Division, clad in black armor, patrolled back and forth, their armor gleaming and their killing intent palpable.
"So this is the Black Armor Guard...?"
Mu Yang glanced at the guards clad in heavy black armor.
Unlike the Demon Slaying Division in the county seat, the Demon Slaying Division in Anling Prefecture was not only larger in area, but also had a more complex internal division of departments.
These black-armored guards in front of us are the city defense troops belonging to the Guardian Hall—the Black-Armored Guards!
The Black Armor Guards are the elite guards of the Demon Slayer Division, each of them a fourth-order Qi Condensation Realm Perfection Warrior.
In a one-on-one fight, they might not be able to defeat some skilled second-class demon-hunting captains, but once the numbers come up, even a first-class demon-hunting captain will suffer a crushing defeat.
The reason is also very simple.
The black armor worn by the Black Armor Guards was not ordinary armor, but a pseudo-magical artifact engraved with forging inscriptions.
Although it is just a combination of the three most basic inscriptions and one low-grade inscription, its effect is extremely exaggerated.
When a group of black-armored warriors get close, a resonance effect is triggered, allowing the black-armored warriors to resonate at the same frequency, achieving an effect similar to damage sharing.
It is said that there were once over a hundred fourth-tier black-armored guards, under the command of several fifth-tier black-armored guards, who killed nearly ten sixth-tier martial artists.
The fact that they could produce hundreds of sets of black armor of pseudo-magical weapon quality shows the profound resources of the Demon Slaying Division of the Prefectural City.
Mu Yang estimated that he might be able to find some technical books related to forging inscriptions in the armory of the prefectural city.
