A plain carriage drove out of Qingzhou City.
Inside the carriage, two people sat opposite each other.
Jiang Chengyun stared at the handsome young man and slowly took out a ball of mixed breath from the silver bell: "Keep it."
Shen Yi took it in his hand and examined it: "What is this?"
"One hundred and twenty-three auras of demon kings in the Condensing Dan realm, and seventeen auras of demon kings in the Bao Dan realm. These are all the achievements of the demon hunters since they came to Qingzhou. Everyone will get one."
"Most of the demons in the entire Qingzhou area are here."
Jiang Chengyun exhaled a breath and stared at the breath quietly. Countless monster hunters had lost their lives for this thing, including many of his relatives and friends.
Only with this item in hand can they sense immediately whether any demons have set foot in the Twelve Counties.
"This is a gift from me to you."
Jiang Chengyun took out another extremely faint wisp of purple energy and said, "Howling Moon Demon King, if you sense something is wrong, just run away. Whether you can survive depends on luck."
"Demon King?" Shen Yi raised his eyes and looked.
"A warrior at the fourth level is called Hun Yuan, or Wu Xian, and a monster at the fourth level can be called a king... Let me tell you this, if it can get within three feet of the general, without any accidents, our general will definitely be the one to die on the spot."
"Only in Qingzhou can Wuxian have the capital to compete with it."
When the name of the Howling Moon Demon King was mentioned, a trace of fear flashed across Jiang Chengyun's eyes.
"With so many monsters, where are the Qingzhou masters?"
Shen Yi put away the purple air and put it all into the silver bell along with the air mass. These things should have been taken out for some years and were divided into many parts. The connection was far from being as close as the one after swallowing the Jiao Dan, but it was better than nothing.
"The twelve generals and the three Golden Bell Monster Catchers are all powerful masters in the Baodan realm."
"There are probably two or three hidden in the four surnames and six sects, such as the Qingfeng Mountain Ancestor Sword, who just happens to be restrained by the Yin God. He can actually fight against the Baodan Realm Demon King."
"Besides that, there are the more experienced Silver Bell Monster Catchers or the generals' personal followers. There are probably about 40 to 50 Condensation Core Realm masters in total."
As Jiang Chengyun continued his story, Shen Yi suddenly realized that Qingzhou was not as stable as he had thought.
Isn't the difference in the number of strong men on both sides a bit too big?
Don't think that there are dozens of them. This is a large state with a population of tens of millions. On average, there are less than five Condensation Realm masters in a county.
In this situation, they still control the Dan Ning method so strictly...
Taking in the changes in Shen Yi's expression, Jiang Chengyun smiled slightly: "Monsters are also divided into different races, and they are not as close as you think. Provoking the relationship between them is also one of the few pleasures of monster hunters. If you count the masters of the noble families, they are barely evenly matched, but this group of people have their own ulterior motives, and the Demon Suppression Division even has to allocate some of its spare power to watch over them."
"It is precisely because of this that all those who can become first-rate forces have means similar to the Ancestral Sword."
"They use the Blood Covenant Sword Pool to restrain their disciples. The Demon Suppression Division only needs to keep an eye on their leader, and they can then control all the masters under the sect."
Jiang Chengyun's words were also secretly reminding Shen Yi that there was no such thing as someone who could be promoted to the Nengdan realm stably and without being controlled in Qingzhou.
"I'm very optimistic about you."
Halfway through the conversation, the middle-aged man's honest face suddenly showed a serious look: "The general will be back soon. Whether it is the personal general or the silver bell, they are enough for him to look up to you. But these things are given to you by others. You know this better than me, how the dragon died, and how the silver bell came."
Overall, his achievements are considerable, but compared with his status, they are still quite exaggerated.
"When he returns, let him think you are worthy of these positions."
Jiang Chengyun sat up straight. Even though he already regarded the young man as an equal in his heart, due to his age and strength, he still inadvertently revealed a tone of preaching: "Rely on your own ability, don't be contaminated by the gifts of those old predecessors, and earn back what belongs to you."
Hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyebrows.
I found that this person's attitude seemed to have changed a lot. He seemed a little weird, as if he had included himself in some kind of plan.
"Of course, this includes me."
Jiang Chengyun stretched out his hand and shook it gently: "I am taking you to Yong'an City this time just to familiarize you with the process. As for me sharing your achievements...it's best not to have such thoughts at all. I hope you can understand."
"But if you can do something on your own, as long as you are not afraid of losing your life, I will never restrict you."
The Monster Catchers are not the Demon Suppression Bureau, so there is no such thing as collective achievement. Once outside the city, they are both colleagues who can cooperate with them and competitors who are at loggerheads with each other.
I thought Shen Yi would be more or less disappointed.
But Jiang Chengyun did not see anything unusual on that fair face.
"I have no objection, let's get down to business."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and dozed off, trying to keep himself energetic at all times.
The other party called me out through the bell, so he couldn't be going shopping.
As for things like merit... let's take it one step at a time. Even if I really can't get involved, it's always okay to help with the finishing blows.
"You actually hid this thought."
After hearing what Shen Yi said, Jiang Chengyun couldn't help laughing. Could it be that the attitude he had just shown was too enthusiastic?
It is true that the other party is outstanding among the younger generation, but I am a warrior who has condensed into a pill. The demon that allowed me to take action actually wants to get a piece of the pie.
He put away the thought and introduced it seriously: "The monster hunter has received news that the trial prepared by the mountain lion for its cub has begun again."
"When a tiger gives birth to three cubs, one of them will be a tiger cub."
"These beasts, with the big city as the boundary, started hunting in order to select the king among them."
"We were caught off guard last time and let them leave safely after eating and drinking their fill. It took the monster hunters a lot of effort to get the news this time. Unlike last time, this time they are most likely setting their sights on Yong'an City."
At this point, Jiang Chengyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Yong'an City has Ningdan in charge."
This can only mean one thing, after swallowing enough human precious medicine and going through many years of training, these tiger cubs have made great improvements in both appetite and strength.
He even dared to set his sights on a martial artist in the Nascent Soul stage.
Shen Yi felt the bumps of the carriage and whispered, "If, as you said, this is a test from Shanjun for the younger generation, then how did you get the news?"
"I don't know about that."
Jiang Chengyun also closed his eyes, but his tone was burning: "Even if the news is false, it is worth going. You have just become a monster catcher. You don't know how rare it is for monsters to dare to enter the Twelve Counties of Qingzhou."
The demon king of Qingzhou either has amazing means of concealing his breath, or has great means of preserving his life, or has the protection of a natural barrier like the Yangchun River.
People like this who barge in rashly and have their information intercepted in advance must not be let off.
"…"
Shen Yi pursed her lips in silence.
The other party misunderstood what I meant.
He did not question the authenticity of the news, he just doubted the source of the news.
