Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

Thinking of this, Li Yuan could no longer sit still and decided to search the nearby mountains before returning to Xuefeng Mountain to report back.

In case the meerkats return and all his previous efforts are in vain.

He asked someone to inform Li Zhan, and then headed straight for the outskirts of the city. This area was mountainous and densely forested, teeming with snakes, insects, and wild beasts.

Li Yuan flew to the highest peak, released his spiritual sense, and covered an area of ​​a hundred miles. Apart from a few minor demons, he did not find anything significant.

He searched the surrounding mountains thoroughly throughout the entire night, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no trace of the Meerkat Demon King.

He flew swiftly through the forest, his breath barely touching the ground. Before he even entered the Snow Peak Mountains, the sounds of fighting came from afar, and demonic energy soared into the sky.

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly sped up to fly over, only to see five or six little demons frantically attacking the two women.

A woman in white, wielding a long sword, protected the woman in green behind her as they fought and retreated. She was clearly struggling, and her dress was torn in several places, revealing her fair and jade-like skin.

Just as a bear demon's claws were about to tear her arm apart, Li Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately attacked. A blade of light slashed down from the sky, splitting the bear demon in two from above, spraying blood all over the ground.

Before the other demons could react, Li Yuan swung his hand back and decapitated two of them. The remaining two demons, seeing the situation was bad, let out a strange cry and turned to run away.

Li Yuan didn't bother to chase after them and turned to look at the two women who were still in shock.

"Young lady, are you alright?"

The woman in white, panting, raised her head. In the moonlight, she revealed a beautiful and exquisite face, pale and tearful, gazing at him with extraordinary vulnerability and pitifulness.

"Thank you for saving my life, young master." The woman in white bowed gracefully, her voice gentle and captivating. "My name is Lin Sang, and this is my younger sister, Lin Ling. We are from the Lin family of Hengyang. We were traveling here tonight when we were attacked by a group of demons. If it weren't for your intervention, young master, I'm afraid..."

She looked up at Li Yuan with eyes full of gratitude, appearing shy and timid.

Li Yuan felt a little strange. How could a cultivator be so weak? But thinking that she had been frightened just now, he didn't take it to heart and waved his hand: "It was nothing, no need to be polite. Things are not peaceful here lately. You two sisters should leave quickly and not travel at night."

Lin Sang looked troubled: "To be honest, my sister and I are on our way to Xuefeng Mountain to reunite with our family. We've been delayed on the road, and our elders are probably getting impatient. If it's convenient for you, young master, could you perhaps..."

She hesitated, her beautiful eyes looking at Li Yuan expectantly, clearly wanting him to escort her.

Li Yuan still needed to search for the Mongoose King's whereabouts, so he had no time to escort them. He decisively refused, saying, "I'm sorry, I have official duties to attend to and cannot escort you. However, I will clear out the demons in the vicinity. You can stay on the main road; there will be no more danger."

Disappointment flashed in Lin Sang's eyes, but she still smiled gently: "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you any longer. May I ask your esteemed name, young master? I will surely repay you in the future."

"I am a servant of the Demon Suppression Division. Exorcising demons and protecting the people is my duty. There is no need for me to worry about it."

Li Yuan said no more and turned to continue searching deeper into the dense forest.

Watching Li Yuan's figure disappear into the night, Lin Sang's face immediately darkened. Lin Ling couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister, it seems your charm has its limits. He didn't even glance at you before leaving."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Lin Sang's eyes: "Hmph, he's just an ignorant young man who doesn't understand the pleasures of women. Once he gets a taste of it, he'll be unable to stop."

"Sister is brilliant," Lin Ling said with a smile. "So, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry." Lin Sang gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled dismissively. "I have my own way."

Li Yuan searched the mountains for more than an hour, clearing out several scattered small demons, but still could not find any trace of the Mongoose Demon King.

Could it be that this guy has already fled far away, or perhaps he has gone to Xuefeng Mountain to join the four demon kings?

Thinking of this, he decided to return to Xuefeng Mountain to report back first, and to take another look along the way. At dawn, he suddenly sensed a faint demonic aura.

The demonic aura was very faint, as if its power was being concealed by something. If he hadn't had such a keen sense of spiritual awareness, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

He immediately stopped, carefully sensed for a moment, and then the demonic aura inexplicably disappeared.

Li Yuan frowned in confusion. Ahead was a small town. After a moment's thought, he landed and walked into the town.

The town is small, with only one main street and a few shops scattered on both sides. People come and go, and it looks peaceful.

Li Yuan looked around and walked into a teahouse. The teahouse had a wide view and offered a panoramic view of the entire street.

"What would you like to order, sir?" the waiter greeted him warmly.

Li Yuan ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks, and sat by the window to eat them slowly. Apart from him, there were only two or three other customers in the shop, all of whom were ordinary townspeople.

He secretly communicated with the Myriad Realms Palace, hoping to use its power to search again. Sure enough, this time he clearly sensed that the demonic energy was still there, but the other party used some unknown means to make it impossible to sense its exact location.

Just as he was pondering this, a surprised voice rang out: "Young Master? What are you doing here?"

Li Yuan looked up and saw the Lin sisters standing at the shop entrance, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Miss Lin? Aren't you in a hurry to get on your way? Why are you still here?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Lin Sang led her younger sister into the shop, sat down opposite Li Yuan, and sighed, "Please forgive my rudeness, young master. My sister was injured last night, so I wanted to find a place to rest before continuing my journey."

"What a coincidence, to run into you again, young master."

As she spoke, she gazed at Li Yuan with a deep, wistful look, a blush spreading across her face. The guests around her were mesmerized; there was no woman in the world as charming as her.

The behavior of these two sisters is really not what one would expect from a respectable family. Besides, with such looks, any family would value them and wouldn't ignore them.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled knowingly and said, "I am on my way back to Xuefeng Mountain to report. Since we are going the same way, I will accompany you."

The two women exchanged a glance. A hint of smugness flashed in Lin Sang's eyes, but she nodded demurely, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, young master."

The three of them ate something together and chatted for a while. Li Yuan intentionally or unintentionally tried to get information out of the Lin family.

The Lin family is a well-known family of cultivators in Hengyang. This time, the demon emperor of Xuefeng Mountain was born, and the elites of the family were all summoned to help. Li Yuan had also heard about this.

"So, you and your sister also applied for the job?"

"Yes." Lin Sang looked aggrieved. "My sister and I are not highly skilled, but we wanted to broaden our horizons and contribute to the family. However, we were delayed on the way and fell behind."

As they spoke, Lin Sang reached for the teapot, her hand brushing against Li Yuan's hand, seemingly unintentionally.

The moment her fingertips touched the back of Li Yuan's hand, the Myriad Realms Palace in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled slightly.

Li Yuan glanced up without making a sound, and Lin Sang was also looking over shyly, a hint of smugness creeping onto her lips.

The Myriad Realms Palace never makes mistakes. Lin Sang's identity is about to be revealed. But what is her intention in seducing him time and time again?

Thinking of the Snow Fox Demon King who had never shown up, Li Yuan had a bold guess in his mind.
