Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"Who exactly is this person, that he has earned such high regard from Captain Ge and is willing to work with us on this mission?"

Looking at Zhou An and Liu Shuqing, who were closely following Captain Ge, Guo Kai, Zhao Quanzhong's deputy, asked with a puzzled expression.

This mission involves demonized warriors and cannot be accomplished by ordinary night patrols.

In his view, even if Captain Ge did not invite the city defense officers who had been fighting demons for years, he should at least have sent experienced night watchmen.

However, the two young men opposite him had completely unfamiliar faces; they were clearly newcomers who had only recently joined the Night's Watch.

What makes these two newcomers qualified to participate in this mission? One of them even became Captain Ge's right-hand man, just like his own boss.

If it weren't for the strict internal rules of the Night's Watch, he would have been tempted to confront them directly.

"Don't you know him?"

Meeting Guo Kai's gaze, Zhao Quanzhong said with a strange expression.

"Uh, should I know?"

Guo Kai countered with a question.

As night watchmen patrolling the night, they need to be on high alert to deal with evil spirits and demons that may appear at any time when night falls.

After it's over, I need to seize the time to practice martial arts and rest, so where would I find so much time to pay attention to others?

However, Guo Kai wasn't stupid. When he saw his boss suddenly speak up like that, he immediately guessed that the two people opposite him were no ordinary people.

"Boss, could those two be from a famous martial arts school in town?"

Guo Kai asked tentatively.

Although the city's defense command and the city's defense command are clearly distinct, the warriors within them mainly have two pathways.

One option is for ordinary people who cannot survive to join the city's defense forces and then gradually cultivate and advance in rank.

Secondly, there were martial artists from various martial arts schools in the city.

In a sense, one is a local faction and the other is an outsider faction.

Although they usually live in peace, they secretly compete with each other.

"If you want to be promoted to squad leader, just burying yourself in training won't be enough."

While not necessarily knowing every martial arts school in the city by heart, one should at least be familiar with the latest intelligence from the City Guard.

Meeting Guo Kai's gaze, Zhao Quanzhong glanced at Zhou An not far away and said in a deep voice.

Three days ago, Captain Ge held an enlistment assessment for new recruits, and the subjects of the assessment were three humanoid demons.

It is said that many martial artists from various martial arts schools were frightened away by the three demons, and even the officials of the city defense bureau were implicated.

However, at this critical moment, one person stepped forward and directly killed the three demons.

That man was Zhou An from the Golden Saber Martial Arts School.

By the end, Zhao Quanzhong's eyes were filled with apprehension.

"Did one person really kill three demons single-handedly?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Kai's eyes were filled with shock.

Ordinary demons are one thing, but these are demons undergoing the assessment, whose strength is far beyond that of ordinary blood-refining martial artists.

"Although Captain Ge had ordered that the matter of the assessment on that day not be disclosed, some of it still leaked out."

This is very likely true.

Zhao Quanzhong said in a deep voice.

Logically speaking, those who have been cultivating within the city's defense forces from the very beginning should have a far superior status and loyalty compared to the martial artists from outside.

However, the result was that these people who came out of the martial arts school still had considerable influence in the city's two defense departments.

Ultimately, although these martial arts schools produce fewer martial artists than they do, their average strength is far greater than that of those who come from the lower classes.

"What should we do then? This man has killed three great demons, so he must be highly regarded by Captain Ge."

This mission might just be his gilded opportunity.

At this point, Guo Kai was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

They were the ones who discovered this mission.

"Don't overthink it, let's just focus on our own business."

Zhao Quanzhong shook his head, but although he spoke casually, his right hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the long knife.

Clearly, his inner thoughts at this moment were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

"Brother Zhou, it seems our sudden arrival has already made these veteran Night's Watchmen wary."

Seeing the frequent glances from Guo Kai and the others, Liu Shuqing sighed inwardly and whispered to Zhou An, who was on his way.

He knew very well that he was able to participate in this mission most likely because of this Brother Zhou.

Even so, he was not willing to give up this readily available credit to the old guards of the city garrison.

After all, he joined the City Guard Division in order to gradually advance into the City Defense Division and then obtain the cultivation techniques to reach the realm of supernatural powers.

"So what if they're afraid? I won't offend them unless they offend me."

Zhou An said in a low voice.

He had no interest in wasting time on infighting among himself.

If you're really capable, then let's see what you've got.

"We've arrived at Chang Le Gambling House."

As they were talking, Zhou An's eyes lit up, and he saw a vermilion shop standing prominently in the distance.

The plaque above it, with the four large characters "Chang Le Gambling House," reflected a golden luster in the dawn light that was just beginning to lighten the sky.

"Men, surround this Chang Le gambling den inside and out."

Zhao Quanzhong, you are responsible for overseeing both inside and outside the area. If any demons attempt to escape, kill them on the spot.

"Your subordinate obeys."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Quanzhong stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, the Night's Watchmen sprang into action.

"Zhou An and Liu Shuqing, I hereby appoint you two as vanguards to lead the way."

Anyone who obstructs the process will be apprehended on the spot.

"Your subordinate obeys."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An and Liu Shuqing exchanged a glance and then quickly walked towards the Chang Le Gambling House in front of them.

"So, this brilliant task will still have to be entrusted to them?"

Watching Zhou An and Liu Shuqing's retreating figures, Guo Kai frowned and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Quanzhong beside him.

The latter shook his head, leaving Guo Kai with eyes full of resentment.

"Brother Zhou, how can you lift your leg to do this rough work of kicking down the door? Let me do it."

Upon reaching the door, Liu Shuqing gave a wink to someone behind her, and then, with a smile on her face, kicked the door in front of her.

"Being able to open a gambling den in the outer city, Li Shan, the leader of the Chang Le Gang, must be quite powerful."

Despite saying it, the moment the thought took root, Liu Shuqing's footwork did not weaken in the slightest.

"Bang!"

With a heavy thud, the vermilion gate of the gambling house dented briefly before shattering into countless fragments that exploded in all directions.

"This kid looks so refined, how come he stomps so hard?"

Zhou An glanced at Liu Shuqing, who was standing with her legs drawn up, and thought with considerable surprise.

"Who dares to cause trouble at Chang Le Casino?"

Just then, a loud shout came from inside the gambling den, and a group of strong, fierce-looking thugs swarmed out.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An's gaze sharpened, and as he swung his long sword out, a cold glint and a chilling voice swept out.

"The City Guard is handling cases; those who disobey will be executed!"
