"Why? How come the Demon Slayers arrived so quickly?!"

Wu Yang lay on the ground, filled with confusion and resentment.

Isn't the Demon Slayer Division always known for its steady progress and low efficiency in handling cases?

Why so quickly this time?

Wu Yang didn't understand.

Mu Yang had no intention of explaining it to him.

After dislocating Yue Miao's bones, he picked up the two men, one in each hand, and threw them beside the fire.

The firelight illuminated their pale faces.

Only then did Lei Sai and Zhou Yao realize what was happening and manage to get into the hospital.

The two looked at Wu Yang and Yue Miao, who had been subdued in an instant, and then at Mu Yang, who had been effortlessly subdued.

They suddenly felt like they were somewhat useless.

They were clearly the seniors of the Demon Slayer Division, so why did they act like scoundrels the whole way?

"Brother Mu, what should we do next?"

Lei Sai asked instinctively.

Zhou Yao, like a clueless newcomer, looked at Mu Yang and waited for his instructions.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had completely accepted Mu Yang and were willing to follow him as their leader.

"Naturally, we should first find out the situation."

Mu Yang lifted Wu Yang, who was slumped over like a dead fish, with one hand: "You two are in charge of interrogating Yue Miao. We'll check the information later."

Separate interrogations, preventing them from colluding on their testimonies, are one of the best interrogation methods.

"good!"

Lei Sai and Zhou Yao nodded.

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

Before long, Mu Yang, having finished the interrogation, returned carrying the barely breathing Wu Yang.

Compare and integrate information with that of Lei Sai and Zhou Yao.

The secret of Wujia Village has been revealed.

The whole incident stemmed from Wu Yang's greed.

In order to treat his injuries and go a step further, he secretly drugged Wu You, relying on his superb agility and pharmacology.

This caused its smaller dragon to shrink and its abilities to greatly decrease.

Later, Yue Miao, who was increasingly dissatisfied with Wu You, hit it off with him.

After conspiring together, the two eventually led to Yue Miao reporting the case to the police.

As for the spider demon, Yue Miao, who had only been in Wu Family Village for three years, had never seen it before. Wu Yang, on the other hand, had seen it a few times, but didn't know anything about it.

All I know is that it is friendly to the people of Wujia Village and has no hostility towards them.

Because of its existence, Wujia Village has not experienced any attacks by monsters for decades.

"Monsters protecting humans, truly..."

After figuring everything out, Lei Sai suddenly felt that his worldview had been shaken.

In his mind, it was only natural for demons to eat humans and for humans to kill demons.

This was the first time he had ever seen a demon protecting a human.

Why is that?

If demons don't eat people, or rather, if demons don't consume blood, then how do they improve their cultivation?

It can't be that it's absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

Then it's not a demon, but a spirit beast!

However, according to legend, all spirit beasts are born extraordinary, and their strength, even in their youth, is far beyond that of ordinary creatures.

He recalled that the only record of a spirit beast hunt in the "Da Jing Lu" was that it was only when the Demon Slayer Envoy of the Da Jing Dynasty personally led a team, along with many demon-suppressing generals, that the beast was captured.

The Commander of the Garrison is the highest-ranking official of the Demon Slaying Division, located in the seven major states of the Great Jing Dynasty. There are only seven such officials in total.

The general in charge of suppressing evil is also a high-ranking official who manages a prefecture and holds a high position of power.

These people are far more powerful than the Demon Slayers of Qinghe County.

Zhou Yao also had things she didn't understand.

"It's true that everyone in Wu Family Village is a heavy sleeper!"

She had previously thought that Yue Miao had made this up.

But after hearing Wu Yang and Yue Miao's confessions, she discovered that such a situation actually existed in Wu Family Village.

"Perhaps it's related to that spider demon," Mu Yang speculated, rubbing his chin.

The peculiar scent emanating from a demon becomes increasingly intense as it continuously devours the flesh and blood of living beings and its cultivation level increases.

Conversely, does this mean that when a demon does not eat the flesh and blood of living beings or has extremely low cultivation, that special smell will be fainter?

If that's the case, then it makes sense that he couldn't smell anything before.

And the reason why the spider demon protected Wu Family Village becomes more reasonable.

"Brother Mu, shall we continue..."

"weep--!!!"

Just as Lei Sai was about to speak, a sudden, inexplicable shriek exploded in everyone's ears.

Zhou Yao and Lei Sai's expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively covered their ears, but it was to no avail.

The sound seemed to transcend flesh and blood, directly stimulating their souls, causing their forehead veins to bulge in pain, making them unsteady on their feet.

Yue Miao, whose cultivation level was the lowest, was in an even more miserable state. Blood seeped from her seven orifices, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Mu Yang also felt unwell and frowned.

The shriek didn't seem to come from his ears; it was more like a heavy hammer appearing out of nowhere deep in his mind, striking his soul fiercely.

Fortunately, his soul, strengthened by the "Strengthen Soul" entry, is far more resilient than that of ordinary people.

This impact was at most like waves hitting the sails; it would rock, but the effect was minimal.

"Hahahaha!!"

Suddenly, Wu Yang, whose mouth was bloodied, let out a maniacal laugh: "The Bloodlust Powder has taken effect! That spider demon has gone berserk!"

"What a powerful soul attack! Hahaha, this is fantastic!!"

Wu Yang's voice was almost manic.

His limbs were broken and his dantian was shattered by Mu Yang, leaving him practically a cripple. Even every laugh he let out would aggravate his wounds, sending waves of excruciating pain through him.

But he doesn't care.

He only wanted Mu Yang, the Demon Slayer Division, and everyone in Wu Family Village to die!

I'll die with him!

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yao, whose face was a little pale, slapped her head hard and said quickly, "Bloodlust Powder is a fourth-tier drug that can make the user lose their mind, go crazy, and unleash power far beyond their usual strength, but the side effect is that they will be extremely weak afterward."

"We need to notify Team Leader Qin immediately to evacuate the villagers of Wujia Village, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"That's right!"

Wu Yang's laughter grew louder. He struggled to lift his head, staring at Mu Yang with bloodshot eyes, like a dying wild dog making its final, desperate bite.

"A fourth-order perfected demon is already a step above a martial artist of the same level, not to mention that this spider demon also has a rare soul attack."

"Even if it goes berserk and loses its mind, it is definitely not something that one or two fourth-level martial artists can deal with."

"If the five of you joined forces, you might have a chance of winning, but now—"

He deliberately dragged out his words, ignoring the pain, and stretched his mouth to his ears, excitedly shouting, "You just wait to be collected by your comrades..."

"Bang!!"

Before Wu Yang could finish speaking, the sound of a skull shattering suddenly rang out.

His head was cracked into pieces, like a brittle walnut.

"Noisy."

Mu Yang withdrew his hand from Wu Yang's crown.

After putting Wu Yang's headless corpse into his sleeve, Mu Yang then picked up Yue Miao, who had collapsed unconscious on the ground.

His strong fingers, like iron clamps, gripped her neck.

"Click."

It was decisive and efficient, without any hesitation or delay.

Thus, the adulterous couple who plotted against the villagers of Wujia Village and the Demon Slayer Division met their demise.

Zhou Yao and Lei Sai watched Mu Yang's fluid movements, their lips moved as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing.

Their faces were still pale, clearly the aftereffects of the shriek hadn't worn off, but there was no doubt in their eyes.

In the past, Lei Sai might have struggled with the question of "whether or not to kill him," but at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—

Brother Mu did the right thing!

If he weren't in such a bad mood, he would have loved to personally kill those two bastards.

"You guys go to Wu Dehou's place and meet up with Team Leader Qin and the others first."

Mu Yang put Yue Miao's corpse into his sleeve and said calmly, "I'm going to meet that spider demon."

Are you alone?

Zhou Yao blurted out instinctively, ignoring the stinging pain in her head, and quickly advised, "That's a fourth-tier perfected demon that excels at soul attacks! Even Captain Qin might not be able to handle it!"

Lei Sai also grew anxious: "Yes, Brother Mu, I know you're strong, but now is not the time to show off. Why don't we wait until we meet up with Captain Qin and Ma Xuan, and then the five of us can go together..."

"It's too late."

Mu Yang interrupted him, his gaze passing over the courtyard wall and looking towards the village entrance near the mountains and forests.

The smell of blood has appeared!

That spider demon has already invaded Wu Family Village!
