"To take over the Shuoyin Sect? Me?"

Nie Chi was stunned.

Obviously, they didn't expect things to turn out this way.

His initial goal was simply to save the Shuoyin Sect; he never intended to return or even take control of it.

Moreover, judging from Yuan Yin's words, it's not just about getting him to take over the Shuoyin Sect; he probably also wants the Shuoyin Sect to submit to the Demon Slaying Division and obey orders.

but......

Nie Chi didn't feel disgusted at all; in fact, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way around it; Mu Yang's intense gaze beside him was simply too much for him to bear.

Judging from Mu Yang's expression, if he didn't agree, the Shuoyin Sect would probably have to say goodbye to this world.

"As long as we eliminate the remnants of Sheng Wu's faction, I am 90% confident that we can bring the Shuoyin Sect under the command of the Demon Slayer Bureau!"

Nie Chi said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yin smiled, but still waved his hand: "What's this about surrendering or not? We're not the Six Doors, we don't do these things."

Nie Chi:.........

Seeing that Yuan Yin and Nie Chi had decided on the future of the Shuoyin Sect in just a few words, Mu Yang withdrew his gaze with considerable regret.

Of course, Mu Yang wasn't particularly disappointed about not being able to loot the Shuoyin Sect's treasury.

After all, it was just a human force, and all that was useful were some high-level martial arts techniques.

Even if Sheng Wu didn't have that thing in his sleeve, he could exchange it from the armory after the Shuoyin Sect submitted.

The most important thing right now is to return to the Demon Slaying Division in the prefectural city, exchange the True Qi Forging Method at the armory, and break through to the seventh level of True Qi Realm.

Next, we should find a seventh-tier demon that fits the martial arts training of the "Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon Suppression Body".

"Perhaps I could take a stroll around the vicinity of the Clear Water Dragon Palace..." Mu Yang thought to himself.

The dragon can be used to nurture the Azure Dragon's ethereal spirit, and also to attempt to condense the Dragon Ghost King, thereby completing the cultivation of the "Ghost Lantern Dragon Subduing Technique".

That's a whopping 50 million jin (25 million kg) of support, that's no small amount of force.

Having made up his mind, Mu Yang rode on Xiao Hei the next morning and followed Yuan Yin back to the Demon Slaying Division of the prefectural city.

It's worth mentioning that, in addition to Gu Tingquan and Nie Chi, Chu Zheng was also traveling with them.

The suspended camp will not be closed due to the death of the seagulls.

Because it is close to the sea, it is frequently attacked by sea monsters.

However, without a seventh-tier demon king, there is no need to have a demon-suppressing general stationed there year-round; it is sufficient to replace him with a sixth-tier perfect demon-suppressing officer.

Chu Zheng returned this time to await new arrangements.

Once the new leader takes over the Suspended Sea Camp, his personal guards will also move with him.

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

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yang and the others returned to the Demon Slaying Division of the prefectural city.

Gu Changkong sat in the council hall as always.

After learning the details, he was shocked by Mu Yang's appalling behavior.

Then, he agreed to Yuan Yin's strategy.

He then ordered Yuan Yin, Gu Tingquan, and Chu Zheng, who had been transferred back from the Xuanhai Camp, to take Nie Chi to Shuoyin Sect to carry out the recapture work.

Long ago, he had been envious of the Shuoyin Sect, which was skilled in assassination.

If circumstances allowed, he would have wanted to bring it under his wing long ago.

Now, my dream has come true!

As the saying goes, a happy occasion makes one feel refreshed.

In high spirits, Gu Changkong waved his hand again and credited Mu Yang for the seventh-order demons he killed at Xuanhai Peak, including the large number of sixth-order demons that he didn't kill.

Don't ask, the answer is happiness, the answer is wealth and power, the answer is that this place is under my control!

As for whether anyone dares to disagree?

Those without the ability dare not, and those with the ability do not know how.

Therefore, Mu Yang happily reaped a great deal of credit.

A mid-stage seventh-tier mortal bloodline demon king, Seawing Gull, is worth one low-grade Heavenly Merit.

The Bloodseeking Megalodon, a rare bloodline demon king at the early stage of the seventh rank, is worth five low-grade Heavenly Merits.

Even the powerful shaman in the late stage of the seventh rank was considered by Gu Changkong to be half a rare bloodline demon king, and was given three low-level Heaven-rank merits.

As for that large group of sixth-tier demons...

Gu Changkong was too lazy to calculate how many top-level merits he deserved.

With a wave of his hand, he awarded him a complete, lower-level Heavenly Merit.

In other words, Mu Yang gained a total of ten low-level Heavenly-rank merits on this trip.

Even Chu Zheng, who was a deputy general in charge of suppressing evil, was somewhat envious.

He worked hard to guard the Suspended Sea Camp for a year and only earned four Heavenly-level Lower Grade merits.

Ten Heavenly-level Lower Grade Merits are already equivalent to his salary for two and a half years!

Of course, Chu Zheng wasn't jealous at all.

After all, Mu Yang's strength speaks for itself, and ten low-level Heavenly Rank merits are well-deserved.

After securing his credit, Mu Yang rushed to the second floor of the armory without stopping.

As always, Old Yao lay on the recliner, his snot bubbles appearing and disappearing in an extremely illogical way.

Mu Yang didn't pay any attention.

He opened the armory's exchange catalog on his own.

During this trip, he gained a total of ten lower-level Heaven-rank merits. Including what he gained last time, he now has twelve lower-level Heaven-rank merits, three upper-level Earth-rank merits, one lower-level Earth-rank merit, and four upper-level Profound-rank merits.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang waved his hand and directly spent ten low-grade Heavenly Merit Points to exchange for all ten True Qi Forging Techniques.

I'll also redeem the Dantian Construction Method, Meridian Opening Method, and Acupoint Opening Method from the "Fire" and "Storm" series that I didn't redeem before.

It's worth mentioning that he had already redeemed the Dantian Construction Method and Meridian Opening Method from the "Blazing Fire" series in Qinghe County.

Therefore, a total of only two Earth-level superior merits, one Earth-level inferior merit, and one Mysterious-level superior merit were used.

At this point, he still had two low-level Heaven-rank merits, one high-level Earth-rank merit, and three high-level Profound-rank merits remaining.

Considering the status of the entries in "The Record of the Destruction of All Laws", Mu Yang spent two low-grade Heaven-level merits to exchange for two seventh-tier martial arts techniques.

One called "Dragon Soaring Through the Mountains Mace" is a mace technique that uses metal-based true qi to activate it.

One called "Thunder Dragon Formation-Breaking Cone" is a cone technique that uses true energy of thunder attribute to power.

Both of these martial arts manuals are relatively rare and uncommon.

The former used a long mace, while the latter used a long-handled weapon with a head shaped like a wing.

As for the common swords, spears, and halberds, he didn't consider them at all.

Since we can rely on the help of kind people who spawn in the wild, why should we spend our own money?

As for the remaining top-tier Earth-level and top-tier Mystic-level merits, Mu Yang wasn't in a hurry to spend them.

In the past, he might have directly exchanged it for storage crystals.

But now, he's about to break through to the True Qi Realm, and he's unsure if the Qi Storage Crystal's attribute is still useful.

After all, the effect of storing qi is only to increase the amount of true qi stored.

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

[Qi Storage (Purple): Increases the maximum amount of true qi in the dantian by one thousand strands.]

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

Anyway, the merit won't disappear if it's not used, and he can exchange it later if it becomes useful.

With this in mind, Mu Yang stored the martial arts techniques he had exchanged into his sleeve pocket space, and then quickly left the second floor of the armory.

Not long after Mu Yang left, Yao Lao's snot bubbles suddenly stopped.

He straightened up, looking at the martial arts techniques Mu Yang had exchanged, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Is this child not going to follow in Old Xu's footsteps?"

The "Four Spirits and Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Body" is a top-tier martial art.

The principle is to nourish one's spirit through killing.

There is no need for excessive martial arts skills; just enough precious medicines and pills will suffice.

But Mu Yang's exchange was clearly not like that.

"Forget it, whether it's true or not, it's not something an old man like me should worry about. Time for bed~~"
