Chapter 1162: The Demon Department

"What is it you wish to discuss with us?"

"That's right, speak up if you have something to say; we're in a hurry to get back once we're done."

"Ahem, there's no way to stay in this place anymore; it seems we'll have to find another mountain again."

The crowd of demons was in a chaotic uproar, so Chen Yu pressed his hands downward: "Dragon Breath is going to form a new department called the Demon Department, composed of you people, to work for Dragon Breath."

Chen Yu's words brought a moment of silence to the scene, but a moment later, almost everyone present exploded.

"Are you kidding? Is this for real?"

"We can't even dodge Dragon Breath fast enough, and now you want us to join them? Are you crazy?"

"Does this kid have some kind of conspiracy?"

The scene remained lively for a full ten minutes before it finally quieted down. Once it was silent, Chen Yu smiled: "Finished chatting?"

"Chen Yu, you must have some conspiracy. You people from Dragon Breath think we are freaks; we can't even dodge you fast enough, and now you want us to join?"

"That's right, this is impossible."

"Those who are unwilling can leave now; I won't force you. But those who want to stay can remain here and listen to the benefits."

"What benefits?" All the demons pricked up their ears to listen.

"After joining the Demon Department, you will have a legitimate identity to walk in the world. In the future, when you see people from the various departments of Dragon Breath and the headquarters, you won't need to hide, because your status will be equal to theirs."

"Furthermore, the Demon Department is independent of the six departments of Dragon Breath and forms its own lineage. After reaching a certain tenure, I will assist you in overcoming certain tribulations and help increase your Cultivation. And most importantly, from now on, you will have a life just like humans."

Chen Yu's words were few and his voice was not loud, but the demons present all fell into Silence.

In fact, most minor demons are not as majestic as those evil demons with deep Cultivation. They mix into the human social circle, working hard to live like a human, and then wait for that sliver of mercy from the Heavenly Dao, hoping to pass the Heavenly Dao and attain the Dao.

But most demons have their souls scattered before they can wait for the mercy of the Heavenly Dao. Now that a chance is placed before them, how could they not consider it carefully?

"But why should we trust you?" a demon questioned; they did not trust humans.

"I am not forcing you to trust me," Chen Yu sighed slightly and said, "I am merely conveying the decision of the Dragon Breath headquarters. Those who don't believe it can leave on their own. I'll give you one night to consider; those who reply tomorrow, go find Liu Xian to sign up."

Chen Yu indeed had no obligation to make them trust him; after all, this matter was not an ordinary one, and it was normal for them to have doubts in their hearts.

However, Chen Yu had his own affairs to handle, and he had no spare time to do ideological work with these demons here.

Liu Xian followed Chen Yu back.

"Mr. Chen, you said these things were conveyed by Dragon Breath?" Liu Xian had already detected a hint of something unusual from Chen Yu's words.

"Of course, I have no authority to make this decision myself," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Then does that mean if we have any issues in the future, Dragon Breath can make decisions for us?" Liu Xian asked again.

"That's right. Since they are doing this, it is equivalent to saying that the authorities acknowledge your identity. Dragon Breath's rules are extremely strict and they won't act recklessly," Chen Yu nodded.

"Very well, I will join, and I can also do the ideological work for those demons for you," Liu Xian said.

"You trust me that much?" Chen Yu asked.

"I had already agreed to be Miss Ning's bodyguard. If I can have an identity acknowledged by the authorities, why wouldn't I be happy to do so?" Liu Xian smiled faintly.

"Good, then I'll leave it to you," Chen Yu smiled: "Additionally, I would like to ask, why are there so many of your kind in this place?"

"One hundred miles to the Southwest of here, there is a Liang Jie Shan. On the other side of the mountain is the Demon Realm," Liu Xian said.

"In this world, there is a Demon Realm?" Chen Yu was startled; he had never heard of this before.

"Yes, there is a Demon Realm in this world, but limited by the Heavenly Dao, the Demon Emperor in Liang Jie Shan cannot enter or leave Liang Jie Shan at will."

"Not just him, even some Great Demons with profound Cultivation dare not enter or leave at will. On the contrary, those of us with low Cultivation can slip out from inside, so there are many demons in this vicinity."

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu suddenly realized. No wonder Zhou Tianbing would build the Demon Refining Furnace nearby, and no wonder there were so many demon creatures nearby; it turned out to be for this reason.

"Then why can't one enter or leave the Demon Realm at will? If one enters or leaves at will, what would be the consequences?" Chen Yu asked again.

"If a Great Demon enters or leaves at will, at best their Cultivation will be halved, and their Demon Core could be easily taken by others. At worst, it will attract Heavenly Thunder, and they will be wiped out. Because the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao; demons can only stay in the Demon Realm, otherwise this world would lose its balance," Liu Xian said.

"So that is the reason." Chen Yu nodded, having learned a bit more about the Demon Realm.

Turning his head, he saw Sanwei following the two of them behind. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks: "Sanwei? Why are you following us?"

"I have nowhere else to go," Sanwei looked blank, as if Chen Yu's question had stunned her. She felt that she should have been following Chen Yu, and as for why she had such a feeling, only the Heavens knew.

"You have nowhere to go, so you have to follow me?" Chen Yu was between laughter and tears: "You should go back to where you came from."

"I'm not going back. My mom told me to come out and find a fated person."

"Who is the fated person? What is he for?" Chen Yu asked.

"You are the fated person. As for what to do after finding you, my mom didn't say," Sanwei shook her head.

"What kind of logic is this?" Chen Yu was speechless: "Don't follow me. I have many things to do, and it's inconvenient to have you with me."

"I'm not a bother. I eat little, don't cause trouble, and I'm very well-behaved," Sanwei blinked her large eyes and looked at Chen Yu with an innocent expression.

"What does that have to do with you following me?" Chen Yu was between laughter and tears.

"Mr. Chen, her background is unusual. Since she is following you, there must be a deep meaning behind it. Don't drive her away," Liu Xian whispered.

"What is her background?" Chen Yu asked.

"The Demon Realm, Tian Hu Wan, has always been the noble bloodline of the demon race," Liu Xian said: "If you let her follow you, you will have unexpected gains."

Chen Yu frowned. He originally wanted to ask for details, but Liu Xian was only willing to say this much. No matter how Chen Yu pressed further, Liu Xian refused to say another word.

Helpless, Chen Yu had to give up. After parting ways with Liu Xian, he returned to his residence.

Hearing of Chen Yu's encounter, Ning Ruoxue couldn't help but sigh; she hadn't expected that the life of low-level demons was also so difficult.
