Zhan Shen: I am the spokesperson for the Great Love Immortal

Therefore, for my own sake and for the sake of the world, let's cooperate.

Upon hearing Fang Si's words, the three of them smiled, then raised their hands together and lowered them together.

Thus, the cooperation was reached.

……

As the stars moved with the night, two days later, in a valley outside Chang'an, Lin Qiye pushed open the door of an old but very spacious courtyard.

Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Wu Quan gasped, then coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough."

He was so shocked that he forgot the room was full of dust, and he almost choked to death on the dust.

While coughing, Wu Quan asked Lin Qiye and Fang Si beside him incredulously.

"Cough cough... Brother Qiye, Brother Fang, why is this place so dilapidated? Is this really the Zhenxie Division?"

Looking at the dusty courtyard in front of him, Lin Qiye's lips twitched.

"Probably... Perhaps it's because of the nature of the Zhenxie Division that it's not suitable to be established in a bustling city like Chang'an."

Fang Si frowned, fanned the dust in front of him with his hand, and glanced left and right.

"Even if it's because of its secluded nature, you shouldn't be given such a dilapidated house. After all, it was a dynasty, how could it not have found a suitable place?"

I think it's mostly because you were too presumptuous in front of the emperor before, and that's why they're making things difficult for you."

Upon hearing Fang Si's words, Lin Qiye's expression froze.

Isn't that because the situation was urgent?

Besides, the reason I threatened Liu Che was for your safety...

Chapter 549 The Appearance of K'Shun

The three of them inspected the yard. Although it was dilapidated, it was generally fine. There were no cracks or breaks in the walls or other parts of the yard.

The only downside is that it's been uninhabited for so long that the yard is now covered in dust.

In response, Wu Quan waved his hand and used [Dominate the Emperor] to clean up the surrounding area.

The all-powerful Forbidden Ruins are convenient.

After tidying up the courtyard and making some preparations, the three of them sent someone to inform Huo Qubing that they could start recruiting.

As they began recruiting, coupled with Huo Qubing's vigorous promotion, long lines of people soon began heading towards Chang'an.

The changes in the Han Dynasty have been ongoing for a long time, so now, extraordinary individuals have sprung up everywhere like mushrooms after rain.

Before long, Lin Qiye, who was in charge of screening extraordinary individuals, was already seeing stars.

Too many!

Moreover, this group was not only large in number, but also quite disorganized.

Some can control their farting, others can climb walls while standing upside down, and still others claim to have a secret recipe for mini hamburgers, named Lao Ba.

Just screening these people almost cost Lin Qiye his life.

Later, she insisted on dragging Fang Si along to share the burden with him.

Just thinking about Lin Qiye back then makes my teeth ache with anger even after he died.

Although Lin Qiye said he didn't need help, he stood like an iron tower in front of the room door, completely preventing him from leaving.

Therefore, unable to refuse Lin Qiye, Fang Si had no choice but to help.

After several days of hard work, the candidates for the Exorcism Division were finally preliminarily determined.

A total of nineteen members of the Demon Suppression Division were recruited this time. Among them, the one who impressed Fang Si the most was a person named Hu Jia, who had the ability of "mind travel".

This ability allows one to wander in anyone's mental world through the sound of the flute, and, if he so desires, to remain in the mental world of others indefinitely.

Such a terrifying effect can be described as a pseudo-immortality of the spirit.

With the initial selection finalized, Lin Qiye stretched.

"It's finally finished, Lao Fang. This is the result of our joint efforts."

Fang Si rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Since he was forced to help, Lin Qiye has been demoted from a front-line position to a second-line one, becoming nothing more than a mascot serving as a deterrent.

The one who actually reviewed the data and screened people was this poor, unsuccessful tool...

After a moment of silence, Fang Si spoke to Lin Qiye.

"Now that the personnel for the Demon Suppression Division have been initially finalized, what are your plans for the next step?"

Upon hearing Fang Si's words, Lin Qiye also became serious.

He slowly walked to Fang Si's side and picked up the list of Zhenxie Division personnel records on the desk.

Then he looked at the list and smiled.

"To be on the safe side, my first step is to remove your and Hu Jia's records of Forbidden Ruins abilities from the roster. This will also prevent future Night's Watch traitors from knowing this information."

Fang Si nodded in agreement upon hearing Lin Qiye's words.

This makes perfect sense.

Before they grow up, the information recorded in these documents will undoubtedly pose a threat to them.

As for why the information about Huo Qubing and Gongyang Wan wasn't erased along with them, it's because it couldn't be kept secret.

Unlike him and Hu Jia, who had not yet accomplished anything, Huo Qubing and Gongyang Wan had already made a great name for themselves, and even if Lin Qiye wanted to hide it, he simply could not.

Just as Lin Qiye concealed their information, there was a knock on their study door. Before they could answer, Huo Qubing pushed the door open and walked in.

Several days have passed, and now Huo Qubing has removed the white cloth from his body and put on a clean white robe again.

Upon seeing Huo Qubing completely unharmed, Fang Si couldn't help but sigh in amazement; the recovery ability of a seventh-step expert was truly astonishing.

In just five or six days, Huo Qubing appeared to have no injuries at all.

At this moment, as Huo Qubing pushed open the door and entered, he didn't waste any words and directly handed the intelligence report in his hand to Lin Qiye.

"Seven Nights, look, recent intelligence indicates that the willow tree that previously appeared near Chang'an has reappeared in several counties not far from Chang'an."

Currently, it has already affected several counties, endangering tens of thousands of people…

Before Huo Qubing could finish speaking, Lin Qiye frowned and asked.

"How is this possible? Wasn't this already solved?"

Huo Qubing nodded, then shook his head, his expression extremely solemn.

"This is also what I was worried about. Although we did manage to deal with one that day, according to the urgent report, there are still a large number of monsters in the vicinity of Chang'an, and even further afield, and they are exactly the same as the ones we encountered back then."

Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Lin Qiye frowned deeply, and then spoke in unison with Fang Si, who was still sitting.

"Not the real body!"

"Not the original body."

Lin Qiye and Fang Si exchanged a glance, then quickly spoke to Huo Qubing.

"My lord, the fact that this has happened now undoubtedly shows that the demon willow tree we killed back then was not its original form. It might just be a more powerful clone."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye fell silent for a moment, because he suddenly realized something.

"But if these willow trees are merely derivative copies, then can the original truly replicate a god?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, both Huo Qubing and Fang Si's expressions immediately froze.

They were able to deal with Liu Zhi because even if Liu Zhi could replicate, there was a limit; she couldn't completely replicate everything about them.

But now, if there is a monster that can even replicate gods, then it must be a god itself.

How do we deal with this?

Looking at Fang Si and Huo Qubing, who were frowning and deep in thought, Lin Qiye said in a deep voice.

"At this point, there is only one way to go."

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Fang Si looked up at him, while Huo Qubing simply asked him a question.

"any solution?"

Lin Qiye looked out the window at the blue sky and said softly.

"Since they have sent out gods, then naturally we should also seek out gods to deal with gods in order to deal with them."

But the deities we seek are the very gods of our Great Xia Dynasty.

"The Great Xia's own gods?" Fang Si asked curiously upon hearing Lin Qiye's words.

"Seven Nights, didn't you tell me before that you didn't know where those gods were? How do you know where to look for them?"

Lin Qiye shook his head. "I don't know where they are. The only thing I'm sure of is the location of the West Kunlun Secret Realm."

Chapter 550 You, Lin Qiye with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually have this kind of fetish.

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, while Fang Si fell into deep thought.

Because Lin Qiye had told him the story of what happened two thousand years later on the Kunlun Mountains, he knew some information about the West Kunlun Secret Realm.

For example, that was the Queen Mother of the West's bedroom.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Si looked up at Lin Qiye and said.

"In that case, let's go take a look together."

As the old saying goes, even if Fang Si didn't want to get himself into a trap, he couldn't stop Lin Qiye from getting involved in this kind of thing.

Back then, a single willow tree almost brought down Chang'an, the most heavily fortified city in the entire Han Dynasty, and now several areas are experiencing the same phenomenon simultaneously.

After a while, it's obvious that this thing will become rampant and cause a disaster.

Therefore, rather than waiting until it spreads throughout the world and becomes uncontrollable, it is better to nip it in the bud while it is still under control.

Of course, although he was going with Lin Qiye, he was not the main force. It had only been five or six days since Lin Qiye awakened, and his cultivation level had only just reached the second step.

He was powerless to fight back in the face of this situation.

As for why they insisted on going with Lin Qiye instead of obediently hiding in a safe place in the back?

Don't be ridiculous. In the Han Dynasty today, there are demon attacks happening in all directions. The only truly safe place is the side of a strong person.

But once Huo Qubing and Lin Qiye have both gone to the West Kunlun Secret Realm, is Chang'an, the so-called safest city, really safe?

Fang Si didn't feel safe.

Upon hearing Fang Si's words, Huo Qubing nodded.

"If it is really that serious, then I will accompany you on this trip."

With that, Huo Qubing turned and walked out of the study.

Even if he were to go, he would have to arrange the defenses of Chang'an in advance, so of course he couldn't just leave on a whim.

Lin Qiye and Fang Si didn't have to wait long. About half an hour later, Huo Qubing arrived with several people.

This time, Huo Qubing did not bring Li Gan and Zhao Ponu with him, because they could not all leave Chang'an; a sufficient number of them needed to be stationed there.

Accompanying them on this journey were Gongyang Wan, Chloe, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, and Huo Qubing.

Once everyone had arrived, they set off together towards the Kunlun Mountains.

Although Lin Qiye didn't know where the Western Kunlun Secret Realm was during the Han Dynasty, the Kunlun Mountains were still there.

Therefore, they are not completely lost.

It is worth mentioning that this trip took them once again through Qingshan County, an old acquaintance of Fang Si and Gongyang Wan.

Upon arriving in Qingshan County, Gongyang Wan had just settled into a restaurant when she secretly went out alone.

However, although she thought she had done it very discreetly, how could she possibly hide it from Lin Qiye, who possessed the supernatural power of cause and effect?

Almost instantly, Lin Qiye, who was in the room next to Fang Si's, opened his eyes, frowned, and glanced at Gongyang Wan as she walked away from the second-floor window.

Just as Lin Qiye was staring at Gongyang Wan in a daze, a question suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
