The Evil Extermination Bureau is heavily guarded; how did you manage to escape?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon General walked up to Jiao Yue, clutching his head with sharp claws, pressing it to the ground: \"If there’s even a half-truth in what you say, I’ll swallow you alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Yue’s gaze lowered, his whole body trembling like a sieve: \"Sir, I swear my loyalty, never daring to forget that I’m one of the Jiao Long Hall. This time in the Evil Extermination Bureau’s prison, I encountered a senior demon who painstakingly unlocked the prison, leading many demons to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was in the chaos that I luckily escaped, but never expected to be chased here by Qin An.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Dragon General frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reason might not seem sufficient, but upon careful consideration, this method seems the only one capable of escaping the Evil Extermination Bureau’s prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What message do you have for the Dragon Lord?\" the Dragon General asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Yue raised his head slightly: \"Sir, this information is extremely important, concerning a major event for the Jiao Long Hall. If delivered, not only can it spare you from punishment, but it will also bring you rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon General’s frown deepened, but there was a flicker of interest in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Yue lowered his head, a crafty glint flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words just spoken not only erased the crucial details of his escape but also highlighted the potential benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three Outer Elixir Realm great demons failed to capture Qin An, losing two in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning, the Dragon Lord would surely be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the Dragon General might not withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But taking Jiao Yue back might turn the situation in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by benefits, the Dragon General wouldn’t have many doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to explain once back at the Jiao Long Hall, he had another story prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon General pondered, an expression of contemplation emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing this, Jiao Yue added fuel to the fire: \"Sir, time is of the essence; we must hurry. If Qin An recuperates and leads the Evil Extermination Bureau to chase us again, escape would be impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Qin An made the Dragon General shiver involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Qin An’s earlier fierce prowess, he immediately grabbed Jiao Yue by the neck and took flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we return, speak carefully. Say that Qin An’s power is insurmountable, and I wasn’t acting out of cowardice. I just knew you had critical intelligence, so I did everything to save you.

Fortunately, it’s not a major issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An nodded: \"Can I now be promoted to Jin Mansion General?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning this time, Qin An intended to be promoted to Jin Mansion General, and at the same time, investigate the core secrets of the ancient battlefield relics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Improving his proficiency with the Butcher Skill would be on his agenda later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his fingertips on the wine cup, Zhou Yuanfeng said: \"Go to the Internal Affairs Department and have them tally your achievements; you may hear news by tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words carried a hint of calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Zhou Yuanfeng would have struggled with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once Qin An became a Jin Mansion General, his next step would be joining the ranks of Mountain Patrol Copper Generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Zhou Yuanfeng gradually saw things more clearly, his internal conflict dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Wuhuan had said, Qin An’s potential surpassed even his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within Xunyang Prefecture, he was a true dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a true dragon would never be confined to a mere Prefecture General; only patrolling the wilderness and traversing a thousand miles would suit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An clasped his hands: \"In that case, I take my leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it was still early, Qin An planned to visit the butcher shop and practice his Butcher Skill proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his achievements were announced the next day, he would head to the Confidential Library to search for clues about the ancient battlefield relics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuanfeng waved his hand, his tone changing: \"Perhaps after tomorrow, we’ll address each other as equals, so there’s no need for such courtesy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An slightly nodded, clasped his hands again, and left the courtyard for the butcher shop on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process went smoothly, with the butcher shop owner readily agreeing due to the silver coins and Qin An’s official attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day passed ordinarily without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until evening did Qin An return to the Evil Extermination Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An opened his eyes, got up, and reached for his saber: \"Who’s there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the voice of the Internal Affairs Department’s Household Officer replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting, sir.
