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

Soon, Mu Yang and his two companions rode their horses to the city gate.

After Yuan Yin presented the dark gold token representing the Deputy General of the Evil Suppression, the three of them quickly entered the city through a spacious special passage.

The Demon Slaying Division of the Prefectural City not only occupies a large area, but is also quite prosperous inside.

Shops line both sides of the wide stone-paved avenue.

There were blacksmith shops selling weapons, restaurants selling food, and even pharmacies selling elixirs.

It looked very lively, completely lacking the somber atmosphere of a military stronghold.

If it weren't for the occasional patrol of guards in black armor, Mu Yang would have really thought this was an ordinary city.

After entering the city, all three dismounted and walked.

"Because the Demon Slaying Division in this prefecture is extremely safe and has a low commission on commercial taxes, many caravans will send their expensive goods here to sell."

As they walked, Yuan Yin introduced Mu Yang and Yuan Yuan to each other.

"However, what can be sold outside is actually what our Demon Slaying Division has rejected. If you really want to find good stuff, you still have to go to the armory to exchange for it."

As the exclusive city of the Prefectural City's Demon Slaying Division, the passing caravans are naturally subject to strict scrutiny.

In addition to their duties of inspection, the Demon Slayer Division would also offer to buy any good items they came across.

While it doesn't reach the level of a premium, it has the advantage of high confidentiality and fast payment.

Often, lone warriors prefer to deal with the Demon Slayer Division.

As they talked, the three of them led their horses toward the city center.

Soon, a magnificent and imposing building appeared before Mu Yang.

In front of the building stood two black jade lions, each nearly three zhang tall, with the heads of unknown monsters carved on their feet, their faces ferocious.

Above the door hangs a large plaque with gold lettering on a black background.

The inscription above reads: "General Anling's Residence!"

This is the general's mansion of the Demon Suppressor, and also the command center of the Demon Suppression Division of the prefecture city.

"General Yuan!"

After showing the token, the two black-armored guards at the door bowed and greeted him, and then one of them picked up the token and made a notification.

A moment later, a young man dressed in a dark black outfit and with a cold expression walked out of the door.

It was none other than Lu Zongsong, the "Cold Noodle Ice Axe," who was Mu Yang's good partner in wiping out the Ghost Lantern Temple and Medicine King Valley!

Although he looks cold, he has a kind heart and is not greedy. Mu Yang quite likes this kind of person.

"Greetings, General Yuan!"

Although Lu Zongsong was a cold person, as a disciple of the Demon Suppressor, he did not lack the proper etiquette.

After greeting Yuan Yin, he then greeted Mu Yang and Yuan Yuan.

However, he addressed Mu Yang as Brother Mu and Yuan Yuan as Captain Yuan.

The closeness or distance of a relationship is immediately apparent.

"It's Zongsong! Long time no see! You've grown so much!" Yuan Yin clearly recognized Lu Zongsong and didn't pay attention to his cold expression. Instead, he greeted him with a smile.

"Greetings, Envoy Lu Xunyu!" Yuan Yuan greeted him.

Mu Yang smiled and nodded.

After a brief greeting, Lu Zongsong led Mu Yang and the other two inside.

As the core of the Demon Slaying Division of the entire prefecture, the Anling General's Mansion could not possibly be used merely as Gu Changkong's office.

In fact, this is the core area of ​​the Demon Slaying Division of the prefectural city, and its area is even larger than that of the Demon Slaying Division of Qinghe County.

If we had to differentiate them, the General's Mansion was actually a city within a city, that is, the inner city, while the neighborhood that Mu Yang and the others had just looked at was the outer city.

Soon, the group arrived at a rather spacious council hall.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat of the council chamber.

He had a handsome face, clear and bright eyes, and a short, dark beard on his chin.

He wore a moon-white robe with pale silver cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and a blue jade belt tied around his waist with a mutton-fat jade pendant hanging from it.

He appears quite refined.

If he hadn't known beforehand, Mu Yang would never have guessed that the seemingly gentle and refined man before him, who resembled a schoolteacher, was actually the formidable Demon-Suppressing General who commanded respect throughout Anling Prefecture.

Gu Changkong!

It can only be said that he is indeed worthy of being Yuan Yin's senior brother from the same school; the two are indeed similar, both possessing the temperament of a refined scholar.

I suppose he must be a person with a gentle temperament.

"Junior brother! You've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Yuan Yin walk in, Gu Changkong stood up from the main seat and, with a speed that even Mu Yang could hardly detect, flashed to Yuan Yin's side and gave him a big bear hug.

"So fast!"

Mu Yang's eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Gu Changkong, who had appeared just a few meters away from him in the blink of an eye.

So this is an eighth-tier martial artist...?

"Senior brother, don't get excited, I'm here now!"

Yuan Yin, who was being hugged by Gu Changkong, almost lost his composure.

If it weren't for the presence of Mu Yang, Yuan Yuan, and Lu Zongsong, he would have immediately cried out, "Senior brother, go easy on me! I'm not good at physical training, I can't take your force!"

No wonder Yuan Yin couldn't take it.

He learned his master's long-range techniques and practiced the Heaven-Capturing Hand.

Gu Changkong, on the other hand, was born with superhuman strength and learned his master's most prized physical training method.

His strength was enough to withstand a wild ox and tear a dragon apart; he was terrifying.

Even if the two were of the same level, Yuan Yin might not be able to withstand it, let alone the fact that the two were a whole level apart.

"You brat, you're still so frail. I told you to learn some physical training, but you wouldn't listen." Gu Changkong released his grip and sighed.

That expression was just like that of someone whose own child doesn't listen to their elders.

Yuan Yin was speechless.

Does he not want to practice?

If he had the talent for physical training, why wouldn't he have practiced it?

That's easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering!

Yuan Yin didn't even bother to say anything.

Seeing that Yuan Yin didn't retaliate, Gu Changkong immediately felt bored and looked at the two people behind him.

"This must be my niece, Yuan Yuan. I can't believe how much she's grown up! When I last saw you, you were just this little!"

As Gu Changkong spoke, he gestured to his knee with his hand.

"Come here, call me Senior Uncle, and from now on you'll be able to walk with impunity throughout Anling Prefecture. If your father can't handle something, just come to your Senior Uncle!"

After speaking, Gu Changkong looked at Mu Yang again: "This must be Xiao Mu. He is indeed a handsome young man. My junior brother told me that you are also extremely skilled in external body training. Not bad, you have good judgment. What's the difference between a martial artist who doesn't train his body and a woman!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Mu Yang on the shoulder.

Gu Changkong's hand was very heavy; even Mu Yang felt a bit of pain from the pressure.

Fortunately, it's only a little bit.

Seeing this, Gu Changkong showed surprise instead.

"Not bad, you're quite sturdy. In that case..."

As he spoke, Gu Changkong withdrew his hand, reached into his sleeve at his waist, and a yellowed ancient book appeared in his palm.

Seven stark, somber characters were written on it.

The Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body
