Chapter 99: First Visit to the Demon Suppression Division

After parting with Leng Ningshuang, Zhou Chen returned to the inn again and told Leng Yiyao what happened today. Leng Yiyao did not expect that things would go so smoothly.

Now that he is a member of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he has a powerful backer and no longer has to worry about the Wang family's repercussions. They had encountered several waves of assassins from the Wang family on the way to Wu'an County, but fortunately they were all dealt with by Zhou Chen.

However, Zhou Chen was not sure whether they would cause trouble for him again, so he hurriedly joined the Demon Suppression Division. Unlike the reserve members, killing the official members of the Demon Suppression Division is a serious crime. Unless you have absolute strength, the consequences will be very serious.

Zhou Chen also took out three pounds of snake meat from his storage bag and asked the kitchen of the inn to cook it for them. Of course, he did not tell Leng Yiyao that it was snake meat when they were eating, otherwise Leng Yiyao would not eat it.

On the second day, Zhou Chen arrived at the Demon Suppression Division early. As he was now an official member of the Demon Suppression Division, he could enter and leave the Division freely with his badge. However, as a newbie, he did not dare to run around on his own. He could only come to the Mission Hall based on his memory of yesterday.

Zhou Chen also met Leng Ningshuang again. There was another person who joined the Demon Suppression Division with them. In addition to them, there were many Demon Suppression Guards outside the Mission Hall, and they all came to accept missions.

It is only in the morning that so many people come to the Mission Hall to accept missions. In the afternoon, everyone goes about their business, and those who have nothing to do hide in their rooms to practice.

After everyone had received their tasks, someone came over and said, "You guys are the newcomers who have reported here today, right?"

Several people quickly stood up and nodded, saying "yes". Although Zhou Chen had the official uniform of the Demon Suppression Bureau, when he left yesterday, the Demon Suppression Bureau only gave them a token and did not issue any additional official uniforms, so Zhou Chen guessed that perhaps he was the only one who had the official uniform in advance.

In order not to be treated specially, Zhou Chen deliberately did not wear official uniform today, but wore his usual clothes. The other two people did the same.

The guy glanced at the three of them with a cold expression and said, "Come with me. From now on, I will be your team leader Qin Hong. Now follow me to receive your official uniforms and the Demon-Suppressing Sword."

Zhou Chen and his companions remembered the name, and then followed him without saying anything else, while Qin Hong introduced the rules of the Demon Suppression Division to them.

The Demon Suppression Division has a special status and is not subject to any constraints from anyone except His Majesty. Normally, they have the power to execute first and report later. However, many people cannot withstand the temptation and abuse their power to obtain ill-gotten gains.

"You must resist temptation, otherwise as the team leader I have the right to execute you directly, do you understand?"
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the three people coldly. The three people were startled and said quickly, "Yes, sir, don't worry, we will never do anything wrong."

Qin Hong then continued, "Of course, if the mission requires sacrificing some weak ants, it doesn't matter. Remember, the most important thing is to eliminate demons and defend the way."

The three were shocked to hear his words. He had said before that one should not act recklessly, and then he said that ordinary people's lives could be sacrificed for the mission of eliminating demons. The other person was okay, but Zhou Chen and Leng Ningshuang were a little resistant, but they didn't say much.

Later, they learned from Qin Hong that their team was the 19th team of Qinglong Hall. There were 36 teams under Qinglong Hall in Wu'an County. The 19th team originally had no shortage of people, but half a month ago, while they were on a mission, the captain and two team members all died.

Only then there was a vacancy, and the surviving team member was Qin Hong. Since the mission had been completed, Qin Hong was now the team leader, and today Zhou Chen and the other two were all assigned to Team 19. Although he was reluctant to mention this matter, as the team leader, he still had the obligation to explain it to them. The three knew that he was in a bad mood, so they didn't ask too much about it. Soon, under the leadership of Qin Hong, they received their two sets of official uniforms and a demon-suppressing knife.

Qin Hong warned them that the official uniforms could be exchanged if they were torn or lost, but there was only one Demon-Suppressing Sword. If it was broken, they could just come and exchange it. But if it was lost, the Demon-Suppressing Division would not issue it again. If they wanted to get it again, they had to go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange it with merit points. Of course, they could also buy it on the black market.

However, the value of a Demon-Suppressing Sword in the black market has been raised to more than one thousand taels, and it is still in short supply, so you may not be able to buy it even if you want to. If for no other reason, the Demon-Suppressing Sword is made of a special material and has a certain killing power against evil spirits and demons. This alone is enough to make its price soar.

Afterwards, he took the three of them to receive a martial arts book called the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique, which was a standard feature of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau. Zhou Chen had already cultivated to the great perfection realm and was not very interested in it, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to be excited and took the Demon-Suppressing Sword Technique.

After learning the sword skills, Zhou Chen found Qin Hong and tried to ask his doubts. Although Qin Hong was a newly promoted team leader, he was also a seventh-grade strength and had been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years. Zhou Chen asked, "Captain, how do you think we should break through when our strength reaches the peak of the seventh grade? I heard that it is not easy for a seventh-grade to break through to the sixth grade."

Qin Hong looked at him coldly and said, "You are just at this level of cultivation, yet you are worried about this kind of thing? Wait until you are strong enough. But I am only in the early seventh level, so I don't know much about this kind of thing. I have also heard about this kind of thing from my predecessors. If you are really curious, you can go to the library to check it out yourself. You can enter the library with your current identity."

Afterwards, Qin Hong curiously asked about everyone's strength. Zhou Chen did not reveal his true strength, but only said that he was at the peak of the eighth rank, while Leng Ningshuang was at the middle eighth rank, and another team member named Wang Yong was also at the middle eighth rank.

Qin Hong also introduced himself, "My strength is at the early seventh level, and I am the strongest among you."

Afterwards, Qin Hong brought the three of them to a luxurious courtyard in the Demon Suppression Division, where many flowers and plants were planted, and there was a small pond surrounded by many rockery for decoration.

Qin Hong brought the three of them to the door of a house. He did not knock on the door, but said directly, "I am Qin Hong, the captain of the 19th team. Today, the members of the 19th team are fully replenished, and I brought them here to meet you, my Lord."

At this time, a rough voice came from inside. The voice seemed familiar, but Zhou Chen couldn't remember where he had heard this voice for a moment. "Okay, I see. Since the personnel have been fully replenished, then starting from this month, Team 19 will start to accept tasks normally. Okay, you can leave."

Zhou Chen and the other two kept their heads down the whole time and did not dare to look up at the door of the room, because Qin Hong had warned them when they came that the person they were going to meet this time was the master of the Qinglong Hall, so they had to keep their heads down and never look directly at the master.

Although Lord Qinglong did not show up, Zhou Chen and the others could see that Qin Hong was already sweating profusely after he came out.

The three of them were fearless and behaved normally. Qin Hong then took them back to the courtyard belonging to Team 19. In the Demon Suppression Division, each team had a courtyard of its own.

Although the yard is not big, it can ensure that every team member has a room of his or her own, which also allows them to have their own private space to practice when they are free.
