“Mid-stage Xuan-level?” Su Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were Late Xuan Stage, he might not be able to hunt it down for a long time, but the Mid-stage Xuan-level was still possible.
Knowing Su Nan’s strength, the three obviously didn’t want Su Nan to die in vain and reminded him:
“Director Sir, you must be careful. Although our Governor has an agreement with the two demon kings that higher-level demons cannot attack low-level martial artists, demons are not a race that will honestly abide by agreements.” Su Nan nodded, this had already happened in his foreknowledge.
As they were talking, a member of the Demon Hunting Bureau ran in to report: “Director Sir, there are three Outsiders outside looking for you.”
“Let them come in.” Without thinking, Su Nan knew who the three were.
“God Zhang Yang, we’ve done almost everything you asked us to do. There are more than two hundred players who want to join us, and they are all waiting outside.”
Upon entering the Demon Hunting Bureau, the Huang Brothers first looked around curiously like babies before finally spotting Su Nan and quickly reporting their achievements.
“More than two hundred? Not bad!” Su Nan nodded.
More than two hundred might not seem like much, but these were just the people who had come to join during the Second Public Test. There would certainly be more as time went on.
At the entrance of the Demon Hunting Bureau, a large group of people were scattered around. When they saw Su Nan, they immediately became excited. “Zhang Yang? Is he God Zhang Yang?”
“Yes, it’s him! I saw him on the forum.”
Zhu Chen and the other two saw these Outsiders, frowned, then suddenly thought of something, and asked: “Are they all Outsiders?”
“Yes,” Su Nan said, “You guys register them, and from now on, they are part of us.”
Hearing this, Zhu Chen and the other two were surprised: “What? Director Sir, you want them to join our Demon Hunting Bureau?”
Su Nan said: “The Demon Hunting Bureau is short of hands, and they can provide some help.”
Suddenly, Zhu Chen thought of something and exclaimed: “Director Sir, are you also an Outsider?”
“Yes!” Su Nan nodded.
“How is that possible? Haven’t the Outsiders just arrived for a month…”
It was shocking to hear that within a month, someone could easily hunt down Peak Spirit-level demons.
The three of them looked at Su Nan and then at the two hundred plus players, secretly taking a deep breath of cold air.
“They are like me, with great potential. As long as they are trained for a month, it won’t be a problem to hunt down Spirit-level demons.”
“From now on, let these people follow the other members of the Demon Hunting Bureau and complete the Novice Tasks first.”
Su Nan looked at Zhu Chen and said: “Captain Zhu, you’ll be in charge of this.”
“It’s great that we can do tasks with the Demon Hunting Bureau. We don’t have to worry about the Novice Tasks anymore!” Upon hearing the news, the players were excited.
At this time, Su Nan suddenly saw a middle-aged man in armor walking in the distance.
It was Tian He, the guard leader who had brought him to the Demon Hunting Bureau yesterday.
“Director Zhang, Captain Zhu, Captain Ma, Captain Chen, the Governor has asked for you to come, there are important matters to discuss.”
Tian He quickly relayed the message and looked at Su Nan with a different look in his eyes.
Important matters to discuss?
Su Nan felt a surge in his heart, and the first thing that came to his mind was the game’s tasks.
“Okay.”
Without time to think, he quickly followed Tian He to the Governor’s Mansion.
Over ten minutes later.
It was still the same grand hall in the Governor’s Mansion.
“Director Zhang, your performance really surprised me.” The County Magistrate sat on the high platform, looking at Su Nan with a smile in his eyes. Below the old man, Tian He didn’t leave, standing to the side, waiting for the old man’s instructions.
“Governor, you’re joking. I just killed two little demons.” Su Nan naturally knew what the old man was referring to.
“Perhaps more than just two little demons? Weren’t you the one who killed Lv Ear as well?”
Hearing this, Su Nan didn’t react.
When he hunted down Lv Ear, he had already guessed that this matter could not be concealed.
Perhaps the demons might wonder which martial artist had done it, but as the County Magistrate of Tianyun County, he didn’t have to guess.
Behind Su Nan, upon hearing the old man’s words, Zhu Chen and the other two immediately became unsettled.
“What? Director Sir killed Lv Ear as well?”
“How could it be? Lv Ear is a Xuan-level Demon, the gap between the Xuan-level and Spirit-level is huge, how could it be killed by the director?” “Governor, are you mistaken? Lv Ear is extremely fast, it would run away if it couldn’t win. The previous director had failed to catch it several times.”
The three people doubted subconsciously.
As the news of Lv Ear’s death had caused quite a stir among the demon clan, they naturally knew about it as soon as possible.
As a notorious demon of the Demon Hunting Bureau, Lv Ear had committed countless misdeeds and was a demon they had always wanted to hunt and kill. The previous director had tried several times to kill Lv Ear, but unfortunately, all attempts ended in failure.
Now that they heard that Lv Ear was killed by someone, they were naturally excited.
At the same time, they also speculated about who had killed Lv Ear.
They concluded that Lv Ear’s recent actions had angered the County Magistrate, and that the County Magistrate had sent someone to kill Lv Ear. They never thought it would be their new director.
At the same time, all three stared at Su Nan, hoping to see him shake his head.
However, to their surprise, Su Nan nodded and said, “It’s true. I can’t hide it from you. I killed Lv Ear.”
As he spoke, he took out the corpse of Lv Ear.
He hadn’t planned to tell Zhu Chen and the others about this.
After all, if people knew that he had the ability to kill a Xuan-level demon, then he would face Xuan-level demons in the future, instead of the spirit-level ones.
But now that the old man asked, he could not avoid answering.
“This… is really Lv Ear!”
Looking at the body Su Nan took out, the three people felt as if they were dreaming.
Even Tian He, who had already heard some news from the old man, was somewhat short of breath when he saw the body of Lv Ear.
Spirit-level early-stage killing Xuan-level demon?
It is well known that the gap between each realm is like a chasm.
If Su Nan killed a Peak Spirit-level demon, they could still accept it, but now Su Nan killed a Xuan-level demon, which was completely beyond their imagination.
Although they wanted to doubt, the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.
“Hahaha, good, I knew I was not wrong about you,” the old man laughed.
Then, as if recalling something, he looked at Zhu Chen and the other two, and ordered, “Don’t mention this to anyone.”
The three nodded blankly, still immersed in the shock of Su Nan killing Lv Ear.
The old man continued, “The reason I called you here is that there is an important matter to discuss with you.”
Zhu Chen and the other two quickly came to their senses, waiting for the old man’s next words attentively.
“It should be known that after the Ancient Times, our human race would not have been able to hold onto Dongchen State, with our greatly reduced strength, without the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition left by the ancient powerful.” As expected, it has something to do with the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition!
From Su Nan’s heart, he could sense a side quest coming.
“The Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition can suppress the demon clan, but over the years, the demon clan has never stopped trying to destroy the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition. Now, the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition Array in our Dongchen State is riddled with holes.”
“Not long ago, His Majesty Emperor Yu invited the Three Sects and the Six Religions to discuss the restoration of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, and things were going smoothly, with all the Three Sects and the Six Religions agreeing to make every effort to repair the array.”
“But the demon clan will not let us repair it and will definitely try to destroy it.”
The old man roughly explained the situation of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, which was the same information given by the game.
Su Nan knew that the key point was coming.
“There are nine districts in Dongchen State, and each district is home to a power from among the Three Sects and the Six Religions. Over the years, most of the Array nodes in the nine districts have been destroyed, and each district now has only two main Array nodes left intact.”
“According to the agreement between Emperor Yu and the Three Sects and the Six Religions, each of the two main nodes in a district will be guarded by us and the Three Sects and the Six religions.”
“Both of the nodes in Tianyun County are near Tianyun City, one at the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower in the east and the other at the Martial King Temple in the west.”
Upon hearing this, even Zhu Chen, who had been listening quietly to the old man, showed surprise.
“Golden Rosy Clouds Tower? Martial King Temple? I never expected it to be there!”
Obviously, they were hearing this news for the first time.
“The Array node at the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower is guarded by the Dianxing Sect, while the Array node at the Martial King Temple is guarded by our Demon Hunting Bureau.”
“The reason I called you here is to have you and the City Guard led by Tian He, jointly defend the Martial King Temple.”
