Chapter 226: Suppressing Demons and Subduing Monsters
Chapter 226: Suppressing Demons and Subduing Monsters
Clop, clop.
The tall and sturdy yaoma horses trampled through the muddy ground, revealing a pitted and uneven cobblestone road.
The handsome young man held the reins tightly, his gaze unwavering.
Behind him, Zhang Xuan chased on horseback, both admiring and apprehensive. "Lord Shen..."
"Don't speak."
Shen Yi's reminder was calm and detached.
Zhang Xuan froze for a moment, then realized that the dazed and numb commoners on the long street had all stopped their movements. Upon seeing the Xuan Jia on him, their cloudy eyes finally lit up.
Being watched by so many eyes.
Zhang Xuan instinctively straightened his back and followed closely behind Shen Yi, quickly passing through the street.
To give hope to these commoners who had been oppressed by yaomo for many years, what was needed was not gentle words but a back that exuded absolute confidence.
The Xuan Jia remained intact, and the blade's edge was still keen.
With the return of the Town Demon General to Nanyue City, the yaomo would be subdued and made to pay for their crimes with their blood.
Soon, the two yaoma horses arrived in front of the Town Demon General's mansion.
Shen Yi glanced at the severed head on the spear. It was already unrecognizable, and he reached out to take it off and hand it to the person behind him.
"Lord Shen."
Seeing the skull, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He forcefully hugged it with one hand.
In the large Town Demon General's mansion, a group of lost and confused people gathered together, including some who had just been stripped and cleaned but had run out naked to watch.
In this demon city, there was no longer any sense of propriety or shame. Those were luxuries only the living could afford. They were merely a pile of walking meat and vegetables.
"Notify the Town Demon General to take over this city."
Shen Yi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for those nearby to hear.
After speaking, he pulled on the reins again and left through the south gate.
Now that he had a good understanding of Yin Shen's strength, he didn't need to bring his sword. He could just have Qinghua Furen take the pocket treasure and head to the other counties in the prefecture.
A yaojun could control a city, but it definitely couldn't control an entire prefecture.
There must be many other yaomo subordinates scattered throughout the counties. There was no need to personally get involved in cleaning up these minor foes.
The horse sped away, leaving a trail of dust.
The neat and tidy ink-colored shirt and the crimson cape hung over it left a deep impression on everyone who saw them.
Ordinary people might not recognize the former's identity, but they knew the attire of the Town Demon General.
"Have they arrived?"
The middle-aged man who had been prepared to be thrown into the pot asked nervously.
He then took a few deep breaths, rubbing his eyes forcefully with the back of his hand as he did so.
That black blade had come and gone like the wind.
Just like those two yaoma horses, it had disappeared without a trace.
He was afraid that everything was just an illusion before his death, and he subconsciously turned to look at the undried yaomo blood on the large table in the conference hall.
The bright red blood dispersed the numbness in his heart.
After a long while, a heart-wrenching cry finally rang out on the long street.
"The Town Demon General is back!!!"
...
Listening to the commotion behind him, Zhang Xuan stared at the dark figure in front of him. It was only at this moment that he truly associated this young man with the identity of the Town Demon General and the inspector of the Nine Provinces.
Patrolling the Nine Provinces and suppressing the yaomo throughout the land.
Wasn't that exactly what was happening right now?
"My lord!"
Zhang Xuan turned his horse's head. Before, when he was in the city, he had wanted to suggest notifying the general first, discussing a plan, and then acting to avoid alerting the enemy. That way, they could avoid killing one yaomo but provoking an even more powerful one, causing even greater disaster.
But at this moment, when the other party handed him his colleague's head.
Zhang Xuan, who had always been worried, suddenly felt a surge of madness in his heart. "I'll go notify the Town Demon General to take over Nanyue City, and then I'll bring people over to find you immediately.
Shen Yi nodded and dismounted.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xuan asked in confusion, and then he saw a cluster of red clouds gathering under Shen Yi's feet, surging up into the sky!
Zhang Xuan's mouth hung open as he stared at the sky, his eyes widening in astonishment.
That thing... the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a demon cloud.
Also, how was he supposed to find Lord Shen later? With no one waiting by his side, who would protect him while his yin spirit was out of his body?
...
Standing on the crimson demon cloud, Shen Yi stared at the panel, where the lifespan of the demons occasionally flickered.
Most of them had lifespans of a few dozen years, and occasionally, one would have a lifespan of four to five hundred years.
Qinghua Furen had once been a demon king, and she was even more skilled at tracking down demons than he was, a demon catcher.
He closed the panel and couldn't be bothered to instruct her further.
He once again displayed his Golden Eagle Divine Ability, coupled with his perfected dowsing technique, and headed towards the places with the densest demonic energy.
Usually, in line with Shen Yi's character, he would directly seek out the demon kings.
However, after seeing what had happened in Nanyue City earlier, he quietly changed his mind.
Beneath his feet, another majestic city appeared.
Shen Yi had never encountered such a situation before, where every demon king obediently sat in the Town Demon General's mansion, waiting for him.
He retracted the demon cloud.
His entire body plummeted towards the ground with a thunderous roar!
Under the immense force, the spacious mansion crumbled, and the tall beams were reduced to rubble.
Boom—
The commotion caused the entire city to fall silent.
After about thirty breaths, the dust settled.
The figure in ink-colored robes strode out from the wreckage, dragging the shattered head of a demon by its hair.
Holding the corpse.
Shen Yi once again rode the clouds and soared into the sky. He opened his mouth and transformed the demon into three drops of demon blood. At the same time, he used his divine sense to notify Qinghua Furen to hurry over and wrap things up. There were four large counties, with at least a hundred or two hundred county towns—it would be a busy time.
...
A wisp of red cloud streaked across the sky over Songzhou, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Similar disturbances occurred consecutively in the four county towns.
At the same time.
A yin spirit wandered through the various county towns. Demons who were eating, drinking, gambling, or sleeping in warm beds and soft pillows were all reaped of their lives in the blink of an eye, their corpses directly stored in a pocket.
The demons who had been flaunting their might just a moment ago suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving behind a crowd of stunned commoners.
In the other four counties still under the control of the Town Demon General's Mansion.
Zhang Xuan finally arrived in Songzhou City, and the two yaoma horses transformed into streams of light, landing in front of the yamen.
Before he could dismount, he shouted, "Commander!"
His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the yamen.
Countless junior and senior officers were stunned in place, only coming to their senses after a long while and realizing that it was General Zhang's voice.
The other party always had a worried look on his face, and it had been a long time since they had seen him display such intense emotions.
An elderly man in a long robe, thin and dry as a tree, stepped out of the yamen.
It was Songzhou's Commander, Yang Qianxiang.
"You're back from the Imperial City?" He stopped in his tracks, looking at the yaoma horse under Zhang Xuan's legs with confusion.
A Black Scale Flood Horse?
Yang Qianxiang closed his eyes, finally remembering who this mount belonged to.
Only the Inspector of the Nine Provinces could mobilize such a mount.
He opened his eyes again and looked at the empty spot next to Zhang Xuan, his voice carrying a slight tremor, "Lord Chen has returned to Da Qian?"
