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

On the official road on the west side of Xuanhai Peak.

Three figures were riding their respective high-end steeds, speeding through the night under the stars and moon.

With its full force unleashed, the dull thud of its stomping feet sounded like rolling thunder.

"Nie Chi, are you sure Sheng Wu's target is General Chu?" Yuan Yin asked, his brows furrowed as he spurred his horse into a gallop.

A few days ago, Nie Chi, who had left the Six Doors, suddenly appeared in the Demon Slaying Division of the prefectural city.

They even specifically asked to find him by name.

Thinking back to what happened in Qinghe County, Yuan Yin did not refuse.

The first thing Nie Chi said to him when they met was that the Suspended Sea Camp was in danger!

Before he could ask for details, Nie Chi immediately explained what he knew.

This includes Sheng Wu, the current sect leader of the Shuoyin Sect, who was able to rise to power thanks to the secret support of the Six Doors.

A few days ago, he learned from his senior brother in the Shuoyin Sect that Shengwu had contact with the Six Doors and was going to take action against the evil-suppressing general of Xuanhai Peak.

Upon receiving this news, Nie Chi's head buzzed.

Previously, Sheng Wu and the Six Doors joined forces to overthrow the previous sect leader, who was also Nie Chi's master. Although the methods were not honorable, it was still a power struggle within the sect.

Fighting to the death is a matter within the sect.

But now, he dares to openly violate the rule set by the founder that "no one should lay a hand on the Demon Slayer Division"!

Based on his understanding of the Six Doors, once Sheng Wu killed the Demon Suppression Division, the Demon Slaying Division would be furious and launch the most severe attack on the Shuoyin Sect.

At that time, the Six Doors' manpower in Liangzhou would be insufficient to protect the Shuoyin Sect.

They're definitely courting their own destruction!

Even though Nie Chi has been expelled from the Shuoyin Sect, it was still the place that gave him birth and raised him, the "home" of most of his life. He couldn't just stand by and watch the Shuoyin Sect disappear like that!

After trying to calm himself down, Nie Chi had an idea.

That means reporting this matter to the higher-ups of the Demon Slayer Bureau!

So, despite his fatigue, he rushed through the night to see Yuan Yin, who had been promoted to the rank of Deputy General in charge of suppressing evil, and told him everything.

Previously, Yuan Yin would not have believed that Sheng Wu, the sect leader of Shuo Yin Sect, would have the audacity to attack the Demon Suppressor General.

However, considering that a Seeker of the Domain had been suspected of dying at the hands of the Shuoyin Sect some time ago, Yuan Yin felt that this matter had to be guarded against.

Therefore, after speaking with Gu Changkong, Gu Changkong made a decisive decision and ordered Yuan Yin and Gu Tingquan to rush to the Xuanhai camp to provide support.

With Chu Zheng's strength, plus the assistance of Mu Yang, Yuan Yin, and Gu Tingquan, he could achieve great success.

As long as Sheng Wu is exposed, even if we can't defeat him, at least there won't be any casualties.

Once it is confirmed that Sheng Wu has taken action, Gu Changkong will immediately report the matter to his master.

"General Yuan, there is no need to worry. General Chu is very powerful, and the armor he is wearing is a mid-grade pseudo-magic weapon. Even if that sorcerer Sheng comes in person, there will be no major problems."

Gu Tingquan comforted her.

Chu Zheng is not some newly promoted demon-suppressing general. As a veteran demon-suppressing general, he is not only powerful, but also possesses many treasures.

Especially that full-body armor, which is a rare mid-grade pseudo-magic weapon.

Even if Sheng Wu were to wield a mid-grade magic weapon, he would definitely not be able to defeat it in a short time if it were activated at full power.

Moreover, they are not far from the Hanging Sea Camp, so they can provide timely support if any problems arise...

"hold head high--!!!"

Just then, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a silver light flashed and disappeared into the dark night.

It was none other than Chu Zheng's signature martial art!

"Has a fight already broken out?"

Yuan Yin's expression changed drastically.

In fact, he was not only worried about Chu Zheng, but also about Mu Yang, who had come to support Chu Zheng.

Although Mu Yang has extremely high talent and considerable strength, he also possesses the strength of the seventh rank.

But at most he's only at the mid-stage of the seventh rank, how could he possibly be a match for Sheng Wu, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the seventh rank?

Moreover, Sheng Wu is not the kind of martial artist who goes straight for the opponent and fights head-on.

He is the sect leader of the Shuoyin Sect, a master of assassination.

He is also the only holder of the "High-Rank Shadow Blade" title in the Shuoyin Sect.

He once assassinated three seventh-level martial artists!

Even someone as strong as Mu Yang could be in mortal danger if he made a mistake!

"Damn the Six Doors!"

Thinking of this, Yuan Yin immediately cursed angrily.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Six Doors, even if Sheng Wu attacked, he could have used his token to send a message, instructing Mu Yang and the others to temporarily avoid the attack.

But now, all he can do is pray that Mu Yang is alright...

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

at the same time.

A place shimmering with silver light.

Chu Zheng pursued with his spear, the gleaming silver spear drawing streaks of silver light in the night.

The seagull continued its westward journey as always, spewing out a jet of molten iron every so often.

Even though this kind of thing had happened countless times, for some reason, Chu Zheng felt a vague unease tonight.

This unease had been with him ever since he began chasing seagulls.

The seagull's attack methods, flight paths, and even the power of its iron cannons were exactly the same as usual.

But he just felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that I've been under too much stress lately?"

Chu Zheng frowned after smashing the incoming molten iron cannon with a single shot.

"Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first!"

However, just as he was preparing to continue the pursuit, a strange feeling of unease arose within him.

"Pop~~"

Dozens of feet away in the darkness, a figure completely concealed in a black robe suddenly shot out silently from the pitch-black shadows.

In the blink of an eye, the figure covered a distance of over a hundred meters and arrived in front of Chu Zheng.

"Myriad Shadows Hunting Technique!!"

As a veteran demon-suppressing general, Chu Zheng recognized the move at a glance.

This is one of the signature martial arts of the Shuoyin Sect—the Myriad Shadows Hunting Technique!

A seventh-tier martial skill that allows one to conceal oneself in the shadows.

When used, it can be executed silently, maximizing speed.

"Damn it! They're from the Shuoyin Sect!"

Chu Zheng immediately understood the source of his unease and palpitations.

It turns out that the people from the Shuoyin Sect had their eyes on him!

"That was a pretty quick reaction."

A hoarse voice, neither male nor female, rang out from the black robe.

As the sound appeared, a blindingly cold light suddenly emerged from the black robe.

It was a short, dark-colored knife with a blade only three inches long.

Compared to the ten-foot-long silver spear in Chu Zheng's hand, it was quite tiny.

But in Sheng Wu's hands, it was like a venomous snake that would devour its prey, carrying a deadly threat, and stabbing at Chu Zheng's throat with incredible speed.

Seventh-tier martial skill: Cold Shadow Throat-Severing Blade!

There will come a day when the fire burns out.

The crickets chirped loudly in the middle of the night.

There was a brief water outage in the morning.

This was accompanied by the constant vibrations of mowing lawns from morning till afternoon (the vibrations made my scalp tingle and my right back of my head ache...).

I really, sigh...

Thankfully, two beautiful "expert verifications" warmed my heart!
