Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"Brother Li fought two demon kings alone, which is already invincible among the younger generation. Don't be too modest."

Luo Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, his attitude intimate, clearly trying to build a good relationship with him.

Li Yuan glanced at the corpse of the Mongoose Demon King and thought to himself that it was a pity. Since the five of them had worked together to kill it, he naturally couldn't secretly keep the demon core.

Fortunately, you can exchange them for merit points, and when you exchange them for supplies from the Demon Suppression Division, you can still choose items like demon cores.

When the group returned to the Snow Peak Mountain camp with the corpse of the Meerkat King, it was already dawn.

"Reporting to the Right Demon Suppressor, your subordinates have fortunately fulfilled their mission and slew the Meerkat Demon King, but unfortunately the Snow Fox Demon King escaped."

Rowe threw the enormous corpse of the Meerkat King onto the open ground in the middle of the valley, and the entire camp erupted in commotion.

The guards of the Demon Suppression Division gathered around, and seeing that the demon king, who had not long ago been rampaging in Yongzhou City and slaughtering ordinary people, was now a pile of mud, they cheered and their morale soared.

Lou Junbo personally confirmed the identity and couldn't help but smile broadly. "Good! Good! Good! Li Yuan, you have made another great contribution this time. You killed Hei Yu first, and now you have killed Meng Ma. Of the eight demon kings of the Crowned Demon Emperor, three are now gone."

"After we return, I will personally report to the commander-in-chief to recommend you for commendation."

"Thank you, Lord Lou."

Li Yuan immediately clasped his hands in thanks.

"Guards, hang this beast up for three days as a warning to others!"

Lou Junbo ordered his men to hang the corpse of the Meerkat King on a high pole for public display. The enormous body swayed precariously, making it extremely conspicuous from a distance.

This move had an immediate effect. When the four demon kings on the other side saw the corpse of the Mongoose Demon King, they were all terrified, and their arrogant demeanor immediately subsided.

Having lost two demon kings and severed contact with the Snow Fox, the demon kings became much quieter, no longer frequently attacking the great formation, and instead confronting each other across the valley.

Even the sealed Crowned Demon Emperor has fallen silent and is lying dormant.

Zhang Daojing and Lu Guangling, who were guarding the formation, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly repaired and accelerated the seal.

Li Yuan himself joined the guard team, taking turns with other demon-hunting guards to prevent the demon kings from launching a surprise attack.

He looked towards the East China Sea. Han Kuo and the others had been gone for some time, and there had been no news of them. Thinking of what Li Zhan had said, he felt a little uneasy.

At this time, in Panyu, Guangzhou.

The dock was bustling with people, filled with fishing boats and merchant ships, creating a lively scene.

Liu Huang and his group had been here for several days, but they had not found any trace of the Ink Dragon Demon King. They had no choice but to cooperate with the local Demon Suppression Bureau and set up sentries in various parts of the port for close monitoring.

That day, Wu Yu and Ji Fanghua were inspecting the southern port, but they still found nothing by the afternoon.

"Could the intelligence be wrong?" Wu Yu leaned against the cargo box, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, idly observing the passersby. "That so-called Ink Dragon Demon King might not have come at all."

"The intelligence is infallible," Ji Fanghua said in a deep voice. "Lord Lou's intelligence sources have always been reliable. If he says he will come, he will definitely come; it's just a matter of time."

"Ha, you really believe him that much?"

Wu Yu found it somewhat amusing and was about to say something when she saw a passenger ship slowly approaching the shore. Ji Fanghua immediately walked over and quickly followed.

The passenger ship came from Qiongzhou Island. Ji Fanghua stood beside her, carefully observing everyone who disembarked.

Only after everyone had left did a tall, thin man in black emerge. He had a sinister face, and his narrow eyes gleamed with a cold light. His demeanor was completely out of place among the ordinary people around him.

Ji Fanghua's gaze fell on him, her brows furrowing slightly. She felt that this person was very strange and suspicious.

She took out a palm-sized compass from her bosom and walked towards the man.

This is equipment provided by the Demon Suppression Division, specifically designed to detect demonic energy; the closer the distance, the better the effect.

Before she could even get close, the compass needle started spinning wildly.

"There's a demonic aura!" Ji Fanghua immediately gripped the short sword at her waist and quickened her pace toward the man in black.

"stop!"

She reached out and stopped the man, staring intently at him, and raised the token in her hand. "This is an investigation by the Demon Suppression Division. Who are you? Where do you come from? Please show me your identification documents."

The man in black stopped, giving Ji Fanghua a cold, scrutinizing look before letting out a sneer: "Little girl, do you think you can speak to me?"

Ji Fanghua hadn't expected him to be so arrogant, and her face darkened further: "Please cooperate."

"Heh~" The man in black chuckled contemptuously, "You? You think you can stop me? You're asking for death!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and casually slapped Ji Fanghua with his palm.

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure swept over her, and Ji Fanghua instantly felt as if a mountain was crushing down on her.

Oh no, it really is that demon king!

Ji Fanghua was secretly alarmed. At the critical moment, she desperately activated her spatial talent, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot and reappeared ten steps away.

Mo Jiao's palm strike missed, but he controlled it with ease, withdrawing the energy. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Huh? It's actually a spatial talent? Interesting."

Wu Yu, who had been lazily following behind, immediately pulled the signal horn upon seeing Ji Fanghua in danger.

"call out--!"

A sharp whistle pierced the sky, exploding into a bright red light high in the air.

"Junior Sister Ji, step back!"

Wu Yu's expression changed drastically. Knowing that the other party was a demon king and that he was no match for him, he still drew his sword and charged forward without hesitation.

"So noisy!"

Mo Jiao didn't even bother to glance at him. With a casual wave of his hand, Wu Yu was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily into a pile of crates and shattering them into pieces.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggled a couple of times, but couldn't get up.

"Senior Brother Wu!"

Ji Fanghua's expression changed, but she didn't have time to check his injuries, because Mo Jiao's gaze had already locked onto her again, and the terrifying pressure made her unable to move.

Her heart sank. This Ink Dragon Demon King's cultivation was unfathomable, surpassing that of ordinary demon kings, and was at least at the peak of the demon king realm.

A person like that could easily slap her to death, leaving not even a trace.

Ji Fanghua screamed inwardly, "No, she can't die! She's climbed to her current position with great difficulty, and she still has a great grudge to avenge. How can she die here so easily?"

At the critical moment of life and death, her mind was exceptionally clear, and her spiritual awareness was fully activated. The threat of death instantly enhanced her perception of space, allowing her to break free from the other party's restraints once again.

She swayed and appeared ten feet away, staggering as she clutched her chest, her face pale.

This time, she used all her strength and felt as if all the energy in her body had been drained, leaving her completely limp.

"Not bad, little girl, your spatial talent is quite interesting."

Seeing that she had escaped again, the Ink Dragon Demon King finally became interested. He looked her up and down and said, "I happen to need a concubine who understands the way of space. Come with me."

"Don't even think about it!"

Junior Sister Ji turned her head and saw Han Kuo and the others rushing towards her at full speed in the distance.

"Them? They think they can keep me here?"

As the Ink Dragon Demon King spoke, he smiled disdainfully, stretched out his hand, and formed a claw with his five fingers, reaching out to grasp Ji Fanghua from afar.

Seeing this, Ji Fanghua tried desperately to retreat, but her body seemed to sink into the mud, making her unable to move.
