Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 111: Chapter 104: Jing Tian Department Takes Action

Chen Yu's deanor was solemn as he spoke with a deep voice, "There's no ti to delay. The large contingent of the Jing Tian Departnt is already assembled. We'll depart now to Xu'an County."

"Yes!"

Following a salute from Gu Chen and his two companions, they followed Chen Yu to a square within the Jing Tian Departnt. At that mont, many people were already waiting there.

For this mission, in addition to Chen Yu, the commander, nine first-rank tropolitan Procurators and twenty-seven second-rank tropolitan Procurators were dispatched.

It's worth ntioning that after Song Yu and Wang Yan broke through to the Outer Qi Stage, they were also appointed as second-rank tropolitan Procurators.

All nine first-rank tropolitan Procurators were Vajra Stage martial artists.

Besides, a large number of defense forces from Xu'an County were supporting from the rear, which showed how much importance Da Xia placed on this operation.

"Depart!"

Seeing that everyone was present, Chen Yu didn't waste words and imdiately led everyone out.

Outside the city of Tiandu, Gu Chen and the others t the noble descendants of the martial arts hall, among whom were Cao Zhen, Liang Xu, and Zhuo Zhibin—acquaintances of Gu Chen.

This ti, when Cao Zhen saw Gu Chen, he didn't greet him with a smile, but gave him a cold glance before turning his gaze away.

As for Liang Xu, he had recovered overnight, and upon seeing Gu Chen in the crowd, his face darkened, though he didn't say much.

Zhuo Zhibin and others snorted coldly at Gu Chen, expressing their dissatisfaction with him.

To all this, Gu Chen didn't care and ignored it outright.

The leader of the martial arts hall was also a Gang Qi Stage martial artist, who smiled and nodded when he saw Chen Yu.

The group of noble disciples behind him, including Cao Zhen, totaled twenty, were all joking around, looking relaxed and casual, without the slightest urgency or tension—as if they were not going to battle but on an excursion instead.

After all, these descendants of military nobility thought that with Chen Yu, such a commanding officer, the mission would be easily accomplished; they just needed to hang back and observe from a distance.

They had heard of the fearso reputation of the Six Union God Sect, but that was all in the past. These noble descendants didn't take things seriously, believing that the Red Fla Demon Sect might have already fled, making this trip no different from a picnic, a good opportunity to enjoy the scenic views outside.

Chen Yu glanced indifferently at this group, didn't say much, and directly set out with Gu Chen and the others.

For this operation, King Huai had already inford the people of the martial arts hall, and everything was to be led by Chen Yu.

This was because even King Huai understood that with Chen Yu's unyielding character, if the people from the martial arts hall dared to act out, Chen Yu certainly wouldn't indulge them.

The Gang Qi Stage martial artist from the martial arts hall, nad Huang Mou, did not take offense at Chen Yu's cold deanor, leading Cao Zhen and the others and followed at a distance behind Chen Yu and his group.

Xu'an County was located to the west of Liyang Mansion, five thousand miles away from Tiandu. Chen Yu, accompanied by Gu Chen and the rest, traveled overnight for four days and nights and finally arrived at the county town of Xu'an County.

Given such arduous travel, naturally, the noble descendants of the martial arts hall had their grievances, but they dared not complain openly due to Chen Yu's status.

Upon reaching the county town of Xu'an County, Chen Yu took charge of the Governor's mansion. After the death of the previous governor, Xu'an County was left without a leader. As for the new governor, Da Xia would appoint one after the conclusion of this matter.

After all, if they appointed a new governor too soon and he, too, fell at the hands of the Red Fla Demon Sect, it would be a loss greater than the gain.

Once they reached the county town, the noble disciples from the martial arts hall headed straight to the restaurants to enjoy themselves.

Chen Yu paid them no attention and instead gathered the people from the Jing Tian Departnt to issue orders.

With the Red Fla Demon Sect's recent actions, much was exposed, and the Jing Tian Departnt had collected a lot of intelligence in secret, pinpointing many of the Demon Sect's strongholds and branches.

Next, Chen Yu divided the personnel of the Jing Tian Departnt into nine squads, each led by a first-rank tropolitan Procurator and consisting of three second-rank tropolitan Procurators.

```

Gu Chen's squad's mission was to trek three hundred li to Ping City to annihilate a base of the Red Fla Demon Sect.

The team leader, a first-order tropolitan Procurator nad Xu Qing, was a no-nonsense middle-aged man who didn't speak much, but was still considered to be quite decent.

After being assigned their mission, Xu Qing, without saying a word, set out imdiately with Gu Chen, Song Yu, and Wang Yan in tow.

Among them, even the least skilled possessed the cultivation of the Outer Gangqi Stage; they could go without sleep for seven days and nights without feeling overly fatigued.

The trio mounted their steeds and within less than two hours, they arrived at Ping City.

According to the intelligence from the Jing Tian Departnt, a martial arts academy in Ping City was the base of the Red Fla Demon Sect.

Xu Qing was decisive in action. Upon arriving at Ping City, he imdiately contacted the county magistrate, sealed off the city gate and the relevant streets, and then led Gu Chen and the others to the academy and kicked open the door.

Inside the academy, more than a dozen burly n were practicing their physique with stone locks. Seeing Xu Qing, Gu Chen, and the rest, they looked over with unfriendly gazes.

"Good, you haven't run away. It seems you were well prepared," said Xu Qing with a cold expression, gesturing for Gu Chen and the others to start the attack.

"Kill!"

With a fierce shout, Song Yu and Wang Yan showed no rcy, drawing their weapons from their waists and charging into the fray.

The burly n bore vicious expressions, showing no panic even as their identities were exposed. They drew their long blades and engaged in battle with Song Yu and Wang Yan.

Xu Qing glanced at Gu Chen, who stood aside without making a move, and said nothing further.

Within the Jing Tian Departnt, he had heard of so of Gu Chen's exploits. As a warrior of the Vajra Stage, he could also feel the vigorous vitality surging within the young man beside him, not at all inferior to his own.

Therefore, Xu Qing didn't treat Gu Chen as a junior, but regarded him as an equal.

Boom!

The door of the inner chamber broke apart, and another dozen figures rushed out, all possessing the cultivation of the Outer Gangqi Stage.

"As expected, you were ready, just waiting for us to arrive!" Xu Qing snorted coldly, ready to make his move.

But at this mont, Gu Chen stopped him, saying, "Lord Xu, please allow to deal with these small fries. You needn't bother yourself."

Xu Qing nodded, having no objections.

Clang!

As the group of Outer Gangqi Stage disciples of the demon sect charged towards him, Gu Chen's sword let out a clear ring, and with a sweep of his arm, an imnse crescent-shaped sword Qi burst from the blade.

Puff puff puff!

Within a single encounter, seven or eight demon sect warriors fell victim, their bodies sliced into two halves by Gu Chen's sword Qi.

But at that mont, a cold and sinister aura suddenly erged. Three demon sect warriors, shrouded in black Qi, stepped forward with grim and terrifying gazes, growing taller as they advanced.

Xu Qing's eyes tightened. It was his first ti witnessing a fusion of ghoul and warrior. Despite being just three Outer Gangqi Stage warriors at the peak of their cultivation, after rging with ghouls, their aura nearly matched his own.

Xu Qing took a step forward, about to take action, but Gu Chen's movents were even quicker.

"Lord Xu, leave these inconsequential ones to . There is a bigger fish behind them for you," Gu Chen said.

At those words, Xu Qing's body jolted, for at that mont, from the innermost depths, an imnse surge of sinister and evil energy erupted into the sky.

It was a Vajra Stage warrior fused with a ghost of the netherworld!
