Chapter 154: Don't Be So Enthusiastic Around Me
Chapter 154: Don't Be So Enthusiastic Around Me
In a nondescript attic within the Demon Subjugation Bureau's office.
It was already late at night.
The room was still brightly lit, with occasional bursts of laughter and conversation.
Behind a short table, Aunt Qian's face was filled with a rare seriousness as she held a brush, leaving line after line of characters on the gilded register.
Jiang Chengyun stood silently behind her, observing his grandmother's focused expression. He then glanced at the worm-like handwriting and instinctively averted his eyes.
He still remembered that when she was younger, she had elegant and exquisite calligraphy.
After spending so much time with the Moonshriek Demon King, even holding chopsticks had become unfamiliar.
Several dozen demon hunters were filled with the aura of the jianghu, and even when lining up, they couldn't stay still. One of the girls, giggling and teasing her colleague, said, "You went on a picnic? Three demon auras, and they're all at the Jade Dew Realm. How dare you come back?"
"None of your business."
The man rolled his eyes, picked up the copper bell from the table, and turned to walk out of the attic.
He encountered a strange face.
Curious, he stopped and asked the youth, "You look unfamiliar. Are you new here?"
The girl who had just mocked him waved her hand vigorously. It was Lin Rou, whom they hadn't seen in a long time: "Lord Shen, you're back too?"
Shen Yi nodded at the man and then stepped into the attic.
"Sir?" The man was taken aback and stood still at the door. Soon after, he saw Aunt Qian and Jiang Chengyun both look up.
"You didn't even say hello when you came back," Jiang Chengyun managed a smile, causing the other demon hunters to stare in surprise. It turned out that Jiang Chengyun, who was so ambitious, wasn't expressionless after all.
"Just got back," Shen Yi replied as he walked to the end of the line.
Aunt Qian dipped her brush in ink and, in front of everyone, didn't pretend to be young anymore: "You can come over directly. Anyway, they're having fun chatting, and it won't matter if you join for a while."
To be honest, she never expected Shen Yi to join this gathering. He had only been gone for less than two months, and she guessed that he was probably anxious.
According to Jiang Chengyun, the youth had killed three tiger demons in Yong'an City, and there were even Embryo Realm demons among them.
-
After Aunt Qian finished speaking, the other demon hunters consciously made way, but their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of confusion.
Cutting in line wasn't a big deal, but one had to have the skills to back it up. They only recognized that.
As Shen Yi approached the short table, Jiang Chengyun reminded him, "Take out the bell."
Following that, the youth placed a silver bell, shimmering with radiance, on the table.
Under the dazzling silver light, the demon hunters held their breath unconsciously, except for Lin Rou, who was beaming with delight. It seemed she had expected this, as she had been shocked by it before and now wanted her colleagues to experience the same feeling.
"But..."
Lin Rou turned her gaze to the table, curious to know if the youth had any other gains after escorting Lord Xiao from Yong'an City.
Aunt Qian didn't say much and simply performed a hand seal.
The silver bell on the table trembled slightly.
Then, it spun around a few times.
"..."
Lin Rou and the demon hunters were all a bit dazed.
There was a reaction, but where was the aura?
Jiang Chengyun frowned and scanned them with his eyes.
Under his gaze, the others suppressed their desire to discuss and only dared to exchange glances secretly.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyun slowly withdrew his gaze.
Shen Yi had only joined the demon hunters for a short time and had already killed an Embryo Realm demon. Were these lazy people even qualified to question him?
He gently nodded his chin in reassurance, "It's fine, you've only joined for two months, and you're still not proficient in the Qi Extraction Technique."
As soon as these words were spoken, the demon hunters, who originally had no intention of saying anything, suddenly displayed peculiar expressions.
Two months, not proficient in the Qi Extraction Technique, Silver Bell.
When these three things appeared on the same person, it was easy for them to associate it with something unpleasant, and it even affected the founding principles of the demon hunters.
"..."
Aqian smiled indifferently, as if she had seen through everyone's thoughts, and without further delay, she quickly pinched another technique.
It was time to show these little fellows that the Silver Bell she gave out was not something just anyone could wield.
The Silver Bell trembled slightly.
The next moment, the entire attic was bathed in a red glow!
The thick, bloody smell filled everyone's nostrils, causing their expressions to instantly turn blank.
They saw a dense mass of demon essence blood, all mixed together, as if there were too many to bother counting, and it was simply stuffed in there haphazardly.
Aqian's indifferent smile froze on her small face.
The brush in her palm trembled slightly, and a few drops of ink fell onto the documents.
Jiang Chengyun's face twitched uncontrollably, and he struggled to maintain his composure, but his hurried attempt to separate the essence blood revealed his inner panic.
First, there were three strands of the Wisdom Opening Small Demon's heart's blood.
Then, there were four strands of the Embryo Realm demon's heart's blood.
Next, five strands of the Core Formation Realm demon's heart's blood were separated.
"..." This was the first time Jiang Chengyun had encountered such a situation. As the demon's realm increased, the amount of essence blood seemed to be getting more and more, and it felt like things were turning around.
He stared at the remaining mass of dense blood essence, his expression gradually becoming as numb and dazed as the others.
Four strands of essence blood from a Core Formation Perfection demon hung quietly in the air, each representing a powerful name that shook a region.
Among them was even one that he was very familiar with... the Mountain Lord of Xitai Mountain?!
Even at this moment, the matter was far from over.
When all the essence blood was peeled away, the thickest strand remained.
Before the others could react, Jiang Chengyun staggered back, his eyes fixed on that strand of essence blood, "Who is this?!"
Aqian put down the brush, closed her eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
It was as if she was calming the surprise in her heart.
But the two small hands on the table clenched tighter and tighter.
Finally, she uttered the name, "White Deer."
It was the existence that had entangled the twelve Demon Suppressing Commanders and the Golden Bell Exorcists for hundreds of years.
At this moment, it floated silently in the air, as if a slightly stronger wind could disperse it.
Aqian once thought that demon hunters and the Demon Subjugation Bureau were completely different entities. They dared not use the people that the Demon Subjugation Bureau dared to use, and they feared the swords that might harm themselves, but the demon hunters did not.
But at this moment, this sword had become so sharp that it was unimaginable!
It even made people feel that the next moment it would pierce their throats!
In the deathly silent attic, only the black-robed youth remained as calm as before, but the crimson essence blood made the Silver Bell on the table look dull in comparison.
Shen Yi looked up, "What can I exchange for?"
That was all he cared about.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyun suddenly recalled the other's expression when he entered the main hall in Yong'an City two months ago, and it was so similar.
He stared intently at the youth, his teeth clenched.
In those eyes, a hint of fervor quietly emerged.
