Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gu Yan immediately led Lin Wu and others to Fengmao County. At this time, the county was a scene of hell on earth, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Heads stained with blood were hung on the dilapidated city walls. They exuded a strong stench under the scorching sun and attracted swarms of flies.

Gu Yan stood at the foot of the city with a gloomy face and said coldly

"Looking for it, we have to dig three feet into the ground to find out who did it. I will crush it to ashes."

Lin Xi felt the biting chill on Gu Yan's body and quickly said

"Yes, my lord"

Noon the next day

Gu Yan, who had been sullen since returning from Fengmao County, sat in the Demon Slayer Palace all night, quietly waiting for news from Lin Xi.

The demon slayers who were coming and going looked at Gu Yan with a gloomy look on his face, and even walked a lot softer, for fear of attracting the leader's attention.

Liu Tao, who was very drunk yesterday, did not know about the massacre in Fengmao County. When he walked into the Demon Slayer Division, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

I quickly came to the Demon Slayer Hall to ask Gu Yan what happened.

Looking at Gu Yan's gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself

"Master Gu, aren't you still angry about what happened yesterday?"

"Master Gu, yesterday's..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xi who hurried in.

"Master Gu, the evil spirit has been found. In the back mountain of Bailan Town, there is an evil spirit in the early stage of the fifth realm, called Gui Sha. It was he who brought a group of evil spirits in the seventh and eighth realms to massacre the city.

According to the Records of Ten Thousand Ghosts, ghost spirits are the evil spirits in Huangzhou. For some unknown reason, they sneaked into Liaozhou and massacred the city. The spies concluded that they might have the intention to attack Bailan Town."

Gu Yanteng stood up and said in a cold voice

"Looking for death, gather fifty Xuan-level demon-slaying envoys, bring the evil-slaying crossbows, and follow me to kill the evil spirits."

Among the warriors under Gu Yan's command, Lin Xi is the one whom Gu Yan likes the most. He is smart, witty, and calm against the enemy.

Although their current strength is still very weak, their talents are outstanding and they are extremely outstanding among the demon slayers at the same time.

Therefore, Gu Yan made an exception and brought Lin Xi, who was only in the Qi training period, to add some achievements to him.

Lin Wu will also go on this trip. Lin Wu is an elite member of the imperial capital and has extremely high combat power, enough to protect Lin Xi.

When Liu Tao saw Gu Yan leading the brothers Lin Wulin and Lin Xi out of the Demon Slaying Hall, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything until the three figures disappeared from the hall.

He knew that he had completely stayed away from the central system of the Yinshan County Demon Slayer Division and had become a powerless thug. This was the price he paid for forcibly protecting Sun Qian.

No commander would like someone who is going against him, even if that person is very strong.

Under Lin Wu's training, the demon-slaying envoys of Yinshan County changed their past lazy habits, and it took only a moment for the orders to be issued.

In the Demon Slaying Division's school grounds, fifty fully armed Xuan-level demon-slayers wearing black armor, evil-killing crossbows hanging on their waists, and holding long knives have assembled.

Gu Yan looked at these murderous demon slayers on the school grounds and nodded. Lin Wu was always at ease when doing things. Then he stood on the high platform of the school grounds and said loudly.

"Brothers, the evil that massacred Fengmao City has been found. It's called Guixi. Now it wants to attack Bailan Town. It wants the tragedy in Fengmao County to happen again in Bailan Town.

Most of you brothers are from Yinshan County, and there must be relatives of some brothers in Fengmao County and Bailan Town. Do you hate the ghost in your heart for doing such a thing? "

There were many relatives of the Demon Slayer on the school grounds. In these two places, they all roared with red eyes.

"Hate! Hate! Hate!"

Gu Yan was very satisfied with the mood of these demon slayers. As a demon slayer, how could he protect the people if he didn't hate the evil spirits to the core?

"The ghosts are well prepared. This battle is extremely dangerous. Brothers, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! Let's go!"

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the demon slayers on the school grounds got on their horses and followed Gu Yan out of the city, directly to Bailan Town.

The flags are flying and the hoofbeats are thundering!

As evening approached, Gu Yan led his people to Bailan Town.

This quick trip shortened the original one-day journey to half a day.

Gu Yan reined in his horse and stopped, and all the demon slayers behind him also stopped.

Seeing that there was no evil in Bailan Town, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He led the demon slayers directly to the mountain behind the town.

The spiritual consciousness was released and enveloped the entire mountain, and a towering evil energy was exposed under Gu Yan's spiritual consciousness.

The ghost sitting cross-legged in the mountain noticed Gu Yan's aura, and immediately showed hatred on his face.

"We're finally here, second brother. Today, I will eat this man alive to avenge you."

Gui Sha is a big demon on the border of Huangzhou, and he has a very bad reputation in Huangzhou.

The demon at the top of the Sixth Realm that Gu Yan killed when he first came here was Gui Sha's younger brother.

After the demons reach the third realm, they can also give birth to children. The two Guisha brothers are the sons of Bailian, the great demon of the third realm of the old Liang Kingdom.

Gu Yan also noticed that the big demon was waiting for him, and led the demon-slaying envoys directly into the mountain.

Gui Sha did not let his demons set up an ambush in the mountain, but directly let Gu Yan and his party go up the mountain.

After arriving on the mountain, Gu Yan looked at the ghost in front of him and asked in a cold voice

"Are you waiting for me? Did you massacre Fengmao County?"

Gui Sha glared at Gu Yan fiercely with his red eyes.

"So what? A small person from the sixth realm dares to appear in front of me and is so eager to die?"

Gu Yan drew out his knife and pointed it at Gui Sha and said

"Since it was you who did it, then suffer death!"

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Gui Sha looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"The Demon Slayer Division really has no successor, and it allows such an arrogant boy like you to guard a county. Today I will avenge my brother!"

Gu Yan was not in the mood to talk nonsense with a demon, and waved his hand violently. The demon-slaying envoys behind him who had already formed a formation pulled the triggers of their evil-killing crossbows.

The evil-killing crossbow arrows roared with a sound of breaking through the air and shot towards the ghosts and other evil spirits.

The crossbow arrows were fired in succession, like rain all over the sky, and the demons fell down one by one like wheat.

The evil-killing crossbow is a powerful weapon for dealing with low-level evil spirits. Unfortunately, it is too laborious to make. The annual quota for each county's evil-killing department is only 500 crossbow arrows.

In the first half of the year, because Gu Yan made a strong move to kill the demon at the peak of the Sixth Realm and frightened the demon in the territory, the Yinshan County was relatively calm, and the Evil Killing Crossbow was not used much, so arrows were naturally saved.

Gu Yan and others brought 300 crossbow arrows with them when they came. After six rounds of volleys, Yaoxie had suffered heavy casualties.

The demon-slaying envoys threw away their evil-killing crossbows, drew their demon-slaying knives from their waists, and rushed toward the evil spirits.

With Lin Wu and several other imperial elites taking the lead, the formation of the evil spirits was torn apart in an instant.

For a time, swords were everywhere in the mountain, and the big trees around were cut into several sections by the swords scattered all over the sky during the battle.

Gui Sha couldn't sit still when he saw that his subordinates, Yao Xie, had suffered a big loss. His right hand turned into a huge sword covered with blood lines and rushed towards the demon slayers.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket fell from the sky with a sound of breaking through the air, and struck hard at the ghost.

Gui Sha waved his giant sword to smash the incoming thunder, looked at Gu Yan standing in front and said angrily

"court death!"

When Gu Yan heard what it said, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, clenched the long knife in his hand, and his whole body's energy was running at high speed.

"Looking for death? Guisha, you killed my people in Yinshan County, and you still dare to wait for me here. Who is looking for death?"
