"Golden entry!"

Mu Yang's eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had ever seen an entry of purple quality or higher.

Unlike other entries with a plethora of descriptive terms, this golden entry titled "Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body" has only a simple sentence of introduction—

My body is like a prison, capable of suppressing demons and monsters!

"That sounds really powerful! I wonder if it could be used as a signature martial art..."

Mu Yang sighed inwardly.

The Four Symbols and Four Spirits are inherently of high status, and if used as a personal martial arts imprint, they would certainly be much better than ordinary swords or fist techniques.

However, the core effect of a natal martial skill is to allow the skill to improve along with the martial artist's cultivation level.

Using it on the "Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body," which can be continuously improved, seems a bit wasteful.

"Let's go to the armory and check the city's inventory later..."

Muyang Secret Passage.

Gu Changkong naturally noticed the surprise in Mu Yang's eyes.

However, he didn't know that Mu Yang was surprised because of the golden entry; he only thought that Mu Yang was surprised because he had acquired a powerful external martial art.

"You're just like me back then!"

Gu Changkong sighed inwardly.

He was incredibly excited when he first received this martial art from his master.

Little did they know that martial arts training would be both difficult and arduous.

After briefly reminiscing about the past, Gu Changkong came to his senses and gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Let me first tell you about the specific situation of Fengyun Sect."

"Fengyun Gate is located at Fengyun Cliff in the northwest of our Anling Prefecture. The terrain there is treacherous, and there is only one steep mountain road in and out, so it is not difficult to monitor."

"But similarly, it's almost impossible to sneak in unnoticed."

As he spoke, Gu Changkong looked at Yuan Yin and said, "So, Junior Brother, your task is to monitor those hiding outside that steep mountain road and keep an eye on the people coming and going."

"Focus on observing the dense clouds and the strong winds."

Yun Qianzhong, the sect leader of Fengyun Sect, is the strongest in Fengyun Sect with a perfect sixth-order cultivation level.

Feng Lie, the Grand Elder of Fengyun Sect, is a sixth-level early-stage cultivator and one of only two remaining sixth-level martial artists in the sect.

"If the two show any signs of leaving Fengyun Cliff, remember to send someone to follow them."

Gu Changkong continued to give instructions.

This surveillance mission could not possibly be carried out by Yuan Yin alone.

Although he had already broken through to the seventh level and could go seven days and seven nights without sleep, he was still too busy to be in two places at once.

Therefore, in addition to Yuan Yin, the newly promoted deputy general in charge of suppressing evil, Gu Changkong will also assign him four sixth-level domain seekers.

"How long should we keep an eye on them? Do we have to wait until the people from the Six Doors show up?"

Those present were either followers of the evil-suppressing general, daughters of the evil-suppressing general, or rising stars favored by the pacification commissioner, so Yuan Yin naturally didn't need to hold back in his speech.

"One month."

Gu Changkong held up one finger: "If you don't see anyone from the Six Doors appear within a month, then you can take action directly."

"The others don't matter, just capture Yun Qianzhong and Feng Lie alive."

Based on the fact that Fengyunmen attacked the Demon Slaying Division during the Blessed Land Grand Selection, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they wiped out the entire sect.

Those in the know understand that this is merely a pretext for action, while those who don't understand will only treat it as idle gossip when they hear that a sect was wiped out for attacking the Demon Slayer Bureau.

After confirming the specific mission time and objectives, Gu Changkong and Yuan Yin went over the details of the mission personnel.

When Gu Changkong heard that Mu Yang was planning to kill a sixth-tier demon first, and then go to Fengyun Sect to keep watch, he was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly regained his senses and instructed Lu Zongsong to take Muyang to choose a mission.

Before leaving, as if remembering something, Gu Changkong gave Mu Yang another instruction.

"This 'Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body' is a seventh-tier martial art. You can take a look at it in advance, but don't rush to practice it. It's best to wait until you break through to the seventh tier before trying it."

The cultivation of the "Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body" is not only difficult in terms of separating the soul, but also in terms of feeding the ethereal spirit.

It requires the cultivator to integrate the entire demon into their body within a very short period of time.

This process is no less intense than being forcefully stuffed into your mouth after you've eaten your fill.

If things go wrong, you could even get injured.

Therefore, when nourishing the spirit, the body needs to be soaked in a pre-prepared medicinal bath before it can begin to absorb the nutrients.

After giving his instructions, Gu Changkong waved his hand, signaling Lu Zongsong to leave with Mu Yang and Yuan Yuan.

Only two fellow apprentices who hadn't seen each other in a long time remained and began to catch up.

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

After leaving the council hall, Lu Zongsong led Mu Yang to the place where they would receive their mission.

Unlike ordinary captains who accept missions, domain envoys like Mu Yang and Lu Zongsong accept missions in private rooms.

The specific tasks assigned were known only to the person performing the task and the steward responsible for processing the information.

In the event of a leak, it is easy to trace the source.

"Good afternoon, esteemed Envoy of the Realm. It is my pleasure to serve you, Manager 121. What are your needs?"

As Mu Yang entered a quaint, windowless, and luminous enclosed space, a woman in a long robe came into view.

In front of the woman was a bronze mirror about half the height of a person.

This person was the first-class steward of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Demon Slaying Division in the prefectural city, who was specifically responsible for receiving the Seeking Domain Envoy.

Because the tasks involved in the Search for Domains are mostly confidential, the selection of first-class stewards is very strict, and they are not easily allowed to leave the General's Mansion, which is the inner city.

"Find me a high-level prefecture-level quest in the northwest of Anling Prefecture, which must be related to demons."

Mu Yang explained his needs.

The first-class deacon then began to manipulate the bronze mirror in front of him.

Soon, three task information appeared in front of Mu Yang.

The first one is a Swift Shadow Leopard Demon with late-stage sixth-order cultivation, located at the border between the Northwest Region and the Western Regions.

The location is a bit out of the way.

It would take more than ten days just to get there.

By the time Mu Yang kills this monster and rushes to Fengyun Sect, it will probably be too late.

So Mu Yang continued to look down.

This time it's a mid-stage Tier 6 jumping sheep demon.

The distance is just right.

The only problem is that this sheep demon likes to wander around.

The location that's been identified now might not still be there by the time he gets there.

Mu Yang was actually prepared for this.

Unlike Qinghe County, Anling Prefecture has a large number of sixth-level martial artists.

Generally, once a sixth-tier demon is discovered, members of the Demon Slayer Division will join forces to capture it.

Those that remain are either recently discovered and haven't been dealt with yet, or they pose little threat but possess some skills, making them generally untouchable by domain envoys.

For example, that Swift Shadow Leopard Demon is incredibly fast and also possesses the innate demon blood magic of moving in shadows.

Let alone a single Seeker of the Domain, even if three or five of them ganged up on him, they might not be able to hold him back.

Although the leaping goat demon was not as fast as the swift shadow leopard demon, it was extremely difficult to kill unless you encountered it by chance because it was nomadic.

"Hopefully, the last monster will meet the requirements..."

Mu Yang prayed silently.

If that doesn't work, he'll have to try his luck with that jumping sheep demon.
