Chapter 25

Just at this moment, Fang Qing and her brother walked out of the room.

Seeing Lu Changsheng soaking in the water vat, they were stunned.

"This is...?"

Fang Tao was a bit puzzled.

Lu Changsheng explained a few words to the two of them casually, then jumped out of the water vat, revealing his strong upper body.

The muscles brought by practicing martial arts, coupled with his resolute face, appeared extremely masculine.

Seeing this, Fang Qing's face turned red, feeling quite embarrassed.

She was still an innocent girl and had never seen such a scene.

Lu Changsheng looked at Fang Tao, seemingly thinking of something.

He took out a martial arts secret manual from the stone table and handed it over.

It was exactly the Iron Leg Technique from Zhao Erhu.

"You can practice this martial arts secret manual."

Being alone was ultimately a bit thin, but if he wanted to create a force, it was better to start cultivating from his confidants.

With the family friendship between the two families, coupled with the friendship between the two, this secret manual was nothing.

"This is...?"

Fang Tao was so excited that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly.

He quickly took the manual and found that it was the martial arts technique he had dreamed of, and couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you, Brother Lu. When I have achieved success in martial arts, I will definitely roam the world with Brother Lu..."

Before he finished speaking, his ear was directly pinched by Fang Qing.

"With your three-legged cat technique, you still want to roam..."

"Pain, pain... Sister, I won't dare again."

Fang Tao begged for mercy repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

Seeing that Fang Qing's eyes were always filled with a trace of worry, he couldn't help but be full of doubts: "Did something happen?"

Fang Qing sighed softly: "These days, when we go out, we often find people following us..."

"But fortunately, we followed your requirements and didn't go out of the range of the DemonSubduingOffice family courtyard, and the other party seems very wary."

Hearing this, Fang Tao also gritted his teeth and chimed in: "That's right, those people are too hateful."

"I know. You try to stay active nearby, and I will get the daily purchases from the DemonSubduingOffice."

Cold light flickered in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

He knew those people must be spies from the Sanhe Gang.

They had been looking for opportunities to deal with him.

However, he was very cautious, making it very difficult for the other party to find an opportunity, so they set their sights on Fang Qing and the other.

With his current strength, he was enough to deal with the likes of the Sanhe Gang's guardians, unless the Hall Master level made a move personally, but that was clearly unlikely.

Even if he couldn't beat them, relying on his perfect-level movement technique, he could find an opportunity to escape.

Afterward, the few exchanged a few words, and Lu Changsheng left the courtyard.

The DemonSubduingOffice had to report every three days, which was equivalent to daily clocking in.

Other times were free activities.

Lu Changsheng walked on the wide and tidy street, wearing a Flying Eagle Garb, with a embroidered spring blade hanging at his waist, looking heroic and extraordinary.

A group of civilians on the road saw this and scattered one after another, looking at Lu Changsheng with awe.

The status of people in the DemonSubduingOffice was still very prominent.

As long as one could join the DemonSubduingOffice, one could automatically obtain the ninth-rank official status, which was already a world of difference from ordinary people.

On both sides of the street, some young girls who were looking for love saw Lu Changsheng's heroic posture and threw flirtatious glances boldly.

Lu Changsheng walked along the street.

Soon he arrived at the DemonSubduingOffice office.

When he stepped into the hall, some warriors were already waiting here.

Seeing Lu Changsheng enter, no one greeted him, looking very cold.

Lu Changsheng was happy to be quiet and stood in the back waiting quietly.

He had always liked quietness; since joining the DemonSubduingOffice, he had never interacted with anyone, only focusing on burying his head in hard practice, so naturally, he had no familiar people.

The entire DemonSubduingOffice Battle Hall had not had a new Hall Master come to take over after the previous Hall Master was promoted.

Daily affairs were presided over by three Deputy Hall Masters.

Lu Changsheng and these people belonged to Qin Ruobing's management.

Under her, there were more than ten Yellow-rank Demon Suppression Envoys and three Mysterious-rank Demon Suppression Envoys.

However, the other two Deputy Hall Masters were slightly better.

The strength of the Changping County DemonSubduingOffice on the surface was roughly like this.

As for those hidden in the dark, it was not something he could understand.

Half an hour later.

Gao Yunming brought two Demon Suppression Envoys and walked in from outside the hall.

He didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "In recent days, many strange things have happened in Changping County. After investigation by the DemonSubduingOffice, it is not man-made... Some Ghost Grade anomalies are just suitable for you. This cleaning operation was jointly formulated by the three Deputy Hall Masters. I hope everyone will work together..."

"Everyone who completes the mission will receive a small merit."

After speaking, he immediately took out a mission list and hung it on the side wall.

The crowd gathered around one after another.

Lu Changsheng looked closely and saw that it was full of dense missions.

"Investigate the case of villagers in Zhangjia Village being dismembered..."

"Kill a Ghost Grade anomaly in Caoping Village..."

"Explore the strange death of a large number of villagers in YunxiCun..."

……

……

One line of subtitles after another seemed like cold spring water pouring into Lu Changsheng's heart.

He hadn't expected the situation outside to be so severe; even Changping County was considered stable.

This was probably due to the suppression by a large number of strong people.

"Everyone, choose your missions immediately."

Gao Yunming urged again.

Soon, the crowd stepped forward to choose one after another.

Before long, it was Lu Changsheng's turn.

He pointed directly at the strange death of villagers in YunxiCun.

"I'll choose this one."

Seeing that everyone had finished choosing, Gao Yunming distributed the mission tokens.

"The mission will depart in three days, and the information about other teammates is on the mission token."

According to custom, before the mission departs, it is top secret, and only those who have accepted the mission will know the specific situation.

This could also prevent the mission from leaking and causing tragedy.

After Lu Changsheng received the token, he left the hall.

He quickly returned to his courtyard and began to wait quietly.

………………

At dusk.

DemonSubduingOffice, inside a magnificent hall.

Three figures sat in chairs, looking very serious.

One of them was one of the Deputy Hall Masters, Qin Ruobing.

The other two were the remaining two Deputy Hall Masters of the Battle Hall.

One of them was tall and thin, with extremely sharp eyes.

This person was named XiaoTiansi.

The other person had a round figure and a wealthy appearance, always smiling, looking harmless.

The other party was the last Deputy Hall Master, HeChunlin.

"In the past year, those anomalies and demon servants have become more and more frequent. I don't know how many members will be lost in this action."

XiaoTiansi sighed softly.

"Hmph... those Wenxiang cultists are becoming more and more rampant; recently, they even came to the city to preach..."

"The anomalies outside the city are probably inseparable from them."

Qin Ruobing snorted coldly.

HeChunlin frowned: "We don't have much energy left; it's already quite difficult to hold the county town."

"Moreover, those Wenxiang cultists have been operating for many years; they have probably taken root in the county and are very difficult to eradicate completely."

"Let County Magistrate Du make a move to clean up the heretical cult."

Of course, he also knew about the abnormality of the Wenxiang Sect, but he was very cautious about whether to make a full move.

Their primary mission of the DemonSubduingOffice was to clean up demons and ghosts; if they dispersed their energy, it would probably be even more difficult.

At this moment, XiaoTiansi smiled faintly: "Our County Magistrate Du is busy suppressing bandits; the Black Mountain Bandits won't be completely wiped out, and he probably won't give up."

Hearing this, Qin Ruobing was indifferent.

Although she had only been here for three years, she also knew the "glorious" deeds of this County Magistrate Du.

It is rumored that twenty years ago, when County Magistrate Du Wentao was just an ordinary scholar, his whole family was slaughtered by the Black Mountain Bandits because of some things, and only he escaped by going out to study.

For the next ten years, Du Wentao studied hard and finally passed the imperial examination, but chose to come to Changping County to be a county magistrate.

Everyone knew that the other party was probably aiming at the Black Mountain Bandits; the hatred of exterminating the clan was irreconcilable.

Since County Magistrate Du took office three years ago, after initially integrating the forces of the whole county, he began to make moves one after another to deal with the Black Mountain Bandits.

The entire Changping County had a feeling of an impending storm.

Black Mountain Bandits, Wenxiang Sect, demons and anomalies... these forces were like a dense cloud, covering Qin Ruobing's heart.
