A gentle breeze caressed the quiet official road.

Su Wanqing's sudden death plunged everyone present into silence.

Even Xue She was somewhat at a loss.

Mu Yang, on the contrary, acted as if nothing had happened. He walked up to Su Wanqing's corpse, flicked his wrist, and used his black gold four-sided mace to lift a brocade pouch from Su Wanqing's waist.

......

[Equipable Item: Small Sleeve Pouch]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ①Storage (White): Can hold non-living objects, with a space size of five feet square (approximately 4.6 cubic meters)】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for eight days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

......

"It's a storage treasure!"

Mu Yang's eyes lit up, and he stuffed the sleeve pocket into his pocket.

Although it is less than five cubic meters in size, it is enough for him to hold a lot of things.

Moreover, this is only the size of the white quality; if there were enough materials to upgrade it to blue, the potential would definitely be much greater.

I wonder if having multiple sleeve pockets and equipping them at the same time will create a huge storage space or separate small spaces.

When I find another sleeve pocket, I can give it a try.

Just as Mu Yang was collecting the spoils of war

After a moment of silence, one of the bodyguards cautiously spoke up: "Young Master Lei, and this... Constable, the three of us are just trying to make a living. We really didn't know there was a demon on the carriage. Could you please spare our lives?"

Lei Sai didn't speak; he was still thinking.

Mu Yang didn't say anything, but glanced at the three people and his own position, then at Lei Sai's position, as if he was calculating something.

Seeing that Mu Yang and Lei Sai did not speak, the three bodyguards did not dare to make any rash moves and just stood there, sweat dripping down their foreheads.

After a long while, Lei Sai finally looked at Mu Yang and asked:

"Sir, I have a question for you."

"ask."

Mu Yang walked forward slowly, speaking as he went.

"Brother, after slaying the demon queen, why did you attack Miss Su?" Lei Saibo asked.

Mu Yang didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Then let me ask you, should demons be killed?"

Lei Sai was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "He deserves to die."

"Should those who colluded with demons be killed?"

"He deserves to die."

"Did this woman collude with a demon?"

"Um...they colluded, but she doesn't seem to know..."

"Just tell me, were you colluding or not!"

Mu Yang forcefully interrupted Lei Sai, stood in front of him, and looked him straight in the eye.

"They...colluded?"

When Mu Yang stared directly into his eyes, Lei Sai inexplicably felt his aura weaken.

"Should they be killed for colluding with demons?"

"He deserves to die..."

"That settles it then. Do you think I was wrong to kill her?" Mu Yang patted Lei Sai on the shoulder.

"..."

Lei Sai remained silent.

He always felt that something was wrong, but his long-held beliefs told him that demons should be killed, and those who colluded with demons should be killed even more.

Well, it seems that the constable in front of us has indeed done nothing wrong.

"Officer, what are you doing?"

Just as Lei Sai's mind was racing, the bodyguard's terrified voice suddenly pulled him back to reality.

He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the bodyguard.

Then......

"Bang!!"

With a sharp crack, blood and bone fragments splattered out.

Suddenly, another headless corpse appeared beside the carriage.

Lei Sai: ? ? ?

Lei Sai seems to be experiencing some kind of brain overload.

Given his personality, he would have stepped forward to stop him long ago.

But now, he just stood there blankly, watching Mu Yang casually smash the heads of the other two bodyguards.

Then, in a tone of utter incomprehension, he asked:

"Brother, why are you doing this?"

Mu Yang calmly flicked the blood off the black gold four-sided mace, walked towards the donkey demon's corpse without turning his head, and casually said:

"They want to kill me, but I can't kill them?"

Lei Sai pursed his lips, his face full of struggle, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a single word:

"......able."

"That's settled then, let's go."

Mu Yang put the donkey demon's corpse into his sleeve, waved casually, mounted his horse, and left with Xue She.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Lei Sai subconsciously scratched his head.

"Something feels off. Have I been scammed?"

"That's obviously the case."

A mocking laugh suddenly came from the woods on the side of the road.

A woman dressed in a light purple outfit, with a neat ponytail at the back of her head, looking heroic and dashing, leaped out from the forest and came to Lei Sai.

"Sis? What are you doing here?"

The person who came was Lei Sai's older sister, Lei Jiaojiao, the famous pride of the Lei family.

"With your silly look, if I hadn't come along, you might have even gotten your underwear stolen!" Lei Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Lei Sai, annoyed.

"I'm not stupid, and I wasn't fooled!"

Lei Sai stubbornly retorted.

"Then let me ask you, should that woman surnamed Su be killed?" Lei Jiaojiao asked.

Lei Sai was taken aback. Thinking about the conversation they had just had, he said, "He deserves to die!"

"wrong!"

Lei Jiaojiao pointed a finger at Lei Sai's forehead: "That silly woman is clearly only lusting after the donkey demon's body. She doesn't know the donkey demon's true form at all. Since she neither knows the truth nor helped him harm anyone, even if she is guilty, she certainly doesn't deserve to die!"

"what?"

Lei Sai opened his mouth.

That seems to make sense...

"So, I'm asking you, should that stupid woman have been killed?"

Lei Jiaojiao didn't give Lei Sai time to react and asked the same question again.

"He shouldn't have been killed."

Lei Sai shook his head vigorously, and immediately said...

But Lei Jiaojiao shook her head:

"wrong!"

"Wrong again?"

Lei Saimen was stunned.

Killing is wrong, not killing is wrong, so what is right?

"Don't understand?"

"Um."

"Then think about it more!"

"Um?"

Lei Jiaojiao ignored Lei Sai's bewilderment and instead gazed into the distance in the direction Mu Yang had left.

To kill or not to kill is merely the outcome.

The key question is why this outcome occurred.

"A new constable with both strength and a murderous aura—it looks like things are about to get interesting," Lei Jiaojiao thought to herself.

"Sis, what's wrong?" Lei Sai, standing to the side, was still completely confused.

"Think for yourself."

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

"Brother Mu, once we enter the city, we can't act so impulsively like we did just now. If there hadn't been a demon on the carriage, we would have been finished!"

On the way, Xue She spoke earnestly and patiently.

Mu Yang understood Xue She's concerns.

After all, Xue She had neither a keen sense of smell nor the ability to track objects; he was just an ordinary martial artist at the Blood Marrow Realm, so naturally he couldn't detect anything unusual in the carriage.

In fact, if Lei Sai hadn't stopped him and said there was a monster in the carriage, he wouldn't have noticed anything.

It wasn't until he heard what Lei Sai said that he used his keen sense of smell to the fullest extent and realized there was a problem inside the car.

Otherwise, no matter how righteous Lei Sai appears, he won't pay any attention to him.

"In short, before you join the Demon Slayer Division, you'd better stay in the constable's office. Even the Eight Directions Merchant Guild and the Pingwei Escort Agency wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the constable's office in the county town."
