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

The seagull circled high in the sky, watching Chu Zheng staring intently at it, and let out a sharp cry with a mocking tone.

Then, with a flap of its wings, it flew towards the west of Xuanhai Peak.

That direction leads to the closest human settlement to Xuanhai Peak.

"You beast, don't run away!"

Chu Zheng let out a low shout, stomped his feet on the ground, and shot out like a cannonball, his bright silver spear thrusting straight forward.

As his true energy surged, a silver dragon roared out from the tip of his spear, its momentum like a rainbow.

Faced with such a powerful attack, the seagulls seemed to be used to it.

Taking advantage of its ability to fly, it nimbly dodged away with a flick of its body.

At the same time, it released demonic energy, which condensed into a huge water ball in its mouth.

Demon Blood Spell: Iron Water Cannon!

Chu Zheng brandished his spear, and with a flash of silver light, he shattered the incoming molten iron cannon with a bang.

He continued his relentless pursuit of the seagulls without wavering.

It also occasionally fired silver dragons to harass the seagulls.

Such chases happen almost every now and then, and Chu Zheng has long been used to it.

Although it is difficult to hit, the process will greatly deplete the seagull's energy and stamina.

If the energy expenditure is too high, the seagull will give up flying far away and return to the seabed.

The same is true today.

After a tense three-hour chase, the seagull flapped its wings, turned around, and flew towards the Hanging Sea Peak.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng, who was panting heavily, did not stop them.

Only after seeing it enter the sea did they return to the suspended sea camp.

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

After Chu Zheng returned to the Suspended Sea Camp.

The guards and captains stationed at the camp entrance immediately came forward to greet them.

The personal guard captain is a figure of equal rank to the domain envoy and the executioner.

However, unlike the wandering Envoys and the Demon-Slaying Generals who guard their own territory, the personal attendant captains are trusted confidants personally selected by the Demon-Slaying Generals.

Generally speaking, they act together with the evil-suppressing general.

"General, you're injured!?"

When the captains who stayed behind at the camp saw that Chu Zheng was covered in blood, their expressions changed immediately.

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

Chu Zheng waved his hand.

Although the seagull's iron cannon isn't particularly powerful or fast, it's inevitable that it will make mistakes after repeated use.

Fortunately, the armor he was wearing provided good protection, and although he was injured, it didn't have a significant impact.

However, I don't know what's gotten into these seagulls lately. They used to only come out once or twice a month, but recently they've been coming out almost every two days.

Such frequent movements left even Chu Zheng, a late-stage seventh-tier cultivator, physically and mentally exhausted.

Human martial artists' physical abilities are ultimately no match for those of demons; if this continues, one day they may not be able to stop them.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng let out a long sigh.

It wasn't just Chu Zheng who was worried; his personal guards and captains shared the same concern.

They were not only worried about the demons, but also about Chu Zheng getting into trouble.

As close guards, they had an extremely close relationship with Chu Zheng; their fates were intertwined, sharing both glory and ruin.

If Chu Zheng gets into trouble, they will likely become marginalized figures with a bleak future.

"General!"

Just then, a bearded captain spoke up: "This beast has been appearing so frequently lately, could there be some problem at the bottom of the sea that's making it so restless?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding captains all nodded in agreement.

While Chu Zheng was fighting the seagull, his close followers and captains were not idle either.

They either gathered together to discuss countermeasures or observed along the coastline of Xuanhai Peak.

The purpose is to solve the problem.

"General, Old Zhang is right. Although the seagulls are cunning, they have always acted in a very regular manner and never did anything in vain. Their frequent outings in the last half month are indeed abnormal!" A close follower captain echoed.

"Could it be that some kind of treasure has been discovered at the bottom of the sea?"

"How could that be? If there were treasure, it would be lying in wait, why would it make such a big fuss?"

"Could it be that other demon kings have arrived at Suspended Sea Peak?"

"Xuanhai Peak isn't exactly a blessed land, and besides, there's already a seventh-tier demon king here. Why would any other demon kings bother coming here?"

The captains were all talking amongst themselves, and Chu Zheng's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He had actually noticed something was wrong.

The frequency of seagulls' outings during this period has indeed far exceeded that of usual.

If he were to do this one or two more times, he might run out of energy.

Seagulls may make countless mistakes, but if they make just one, coastal fishing villages and towns will surely suffer.

"Then... how about we go take a look underwater?"

A somewhat young-looking lieutenant captain made the suggestion.

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Chu Zheng also fell silent.

He had considered this strategy.

However, he was not good at naval warfare. Among his personal guards, although two of them had cultivated water-attribute true qi, their cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Qi Opening Realm.

Once at sea, life and death are in the hands of fate.

These were his brothers who had followed him for many years; he couldn't gamble with their lives.

But if we don't investigate, the situation will become unfavorable if we let it drag on...

For a moment, Chu Zheng was caught in a dilemma.

"General, a messenger claiming to be from the capital of Anling Prefecture has come to visit!"

Just then, a captain came to report.

"Seeking a regional envoy from the capital city?"

Chu Zheng was taken aback, then suddenly remembered something Gu Changkong had mentioned to him some time ago.

So he immediately got up and went to greet them personally.

Although the group of officers and soldiers found it strange, they all immediately followed.

A short while later, outside the camp.

A dashing young man in dark black appeared before Chu Zheng's eyes, and beside him was a magnificent and tall horse.

"Is the visitor the envoy from Muyang, Muxun Domain?"

"Mu Yang greets General Chu!"

"You're too kind, Envoy Mu Xun. Come, let's talk inside!"

Chu Zheng's attitude was so enthusiastic that it made the surrounding officers and guards somewhat suspicious.

Chu Zheng was a seventh-tier late-stage demon-suppressing general, ranking among the top demon-suppressing generals in Liangzhou's Demon-Slaying Division.

Why are they being so enthusiastic towards a sixth-tier Domain Seeker?

Could this person be a general who suppresses evil, or a direct descendant of the pacification commissioner?

The officers and their entourage secretly speculated.

In fact, Chu Zheng was so enthusiastic because Gu Changkong had given prior notice and explained Mu Yang's strength and achievements.

It specifically points out that Mu Yang knows a martial art that allows him to fly.

Chu Zheng immediately understood what Gu Changkong meant.

With Chu Zheng's strength, if the Seagull hadn't been able to fly, he would have killed it countless times long ago.

With Mu Yang's help now, the next one will surely be the end of that seagull!

Seeing that the problem that had tormented him for years was about to be solved, Chu Zheng was naturally overjoyed.

After entering the camp, Chu Zheng pulled Mu Yang's arm and led him into the main tent.

Begin to describe in detail what has recently happened, as well as the general situation of the seagulls.

"So, the seagulls' recent behavior has been unusual?"

Mu Yang grasped the key point.

"Um."

Chu Zheng nodded: "However, these are minor matters. The most urgent task is to capture that seagull!"
