Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Clip-clop.

The robust demon horse trampled the muddy ground, revealing an uneven path of green bricks.

The handsome young man gripped the reins, his gaze unwavering.

Behind him, Zhang Xuan raced after on horseback, both in admiration and anxiety, "Officer Shen..."

"Don't talk."

Shen Yi cautioned him softly.

Zhang Xuan was momentarily stunned before he noticed the numb expressions of the commoners on the street who had stopped their activities. Upon seeing the profound armor on his body, a flicker of light finally sparked in their dull eyes.

Enveloped by so many gazes.

Zhang Xuan subconsciously straightened up, following closely behind Shen Yi, swiftly passing through the streets.

To offer a glimmer of hope to the commoners suppressed by demons for years, what was needed was not soft-spoken words, but the silhouette of an exceedingly confident figure.

The profound armor remained unbroken, the blade still sharp.

With the Demon-suppression Bureau's return to Nanyue City, the time had come to subdue the demons and exact a blood debt.

The two demon horses quickly arrived in front of the Demon Suppressing General's Mansion.

Shen Yi glanced at the head on the spear, now unrecognizable. He reached out to remove it and handed it back.

"Officer Shen."

Gazing at the skull, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt choked up; he embraced it firmly with one hand.

In the vast General's Mansion, a confused crowd gathered, among them were those who had just been stripped and cleaned, who ran out naked to look on.

In this Demon City, there had long been no concern for the virtues of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or shame, considerations only afforded to the living. They were merely walking slabs of flesh, nothing more.

"Notify the Demon-suppression Bureau to take control of this city." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Shen Yi's voice was not loud, but just enough for those nearby to hear.

Having said that, he tugged again at the reins and left through the South City Gate.

Already aware of the Yin God's strength, there was no need to carry a blade. He just had Lady Qinghua hasten to the other counties in the prefecture with her Pocket Treasure.

While a single demon monarch could subdue a city, it certainly could not control an entire prefecture.

There must be many demons scattered throughout the counties, and cleaning up these lesser demons was not something he needed to do in person.

The steeds galloped away in a cloud of dust.

A spotless ink-black robe and a dazzling crimson cloak became deeply etched in everyone's eyes.

Ordinary people might not recognize the former's identity, but the Demon-suppression Great General's armor was unmistakable.

"Is it over?"

A middle-aged man, who had been prepared for slaughter just moments earlier, asked in a hesitant voice.

Then he breathed heavily, rubbing his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand as he gasped.

The Black Knife had come quickly and departed just as fast.

Like those two demon horses, it had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

He was truly afraid that everything was an illusion before his death. He looked back subconsciously at the still wet Demon Blood on the council hall's large table.

The blood was a bright, piercing red, driving away the numbness at the heart.

After a long while, a piercing scream finally erupted on the street.

"The Demon-suppression Bureau has returned!!"

...

Hearing the clamor behind him.

Zhang Xuan gazed blankly at the dark silhouette ahead, and only at this moment did he fully associate the young man with the identity of the Demon Suppression Bureau Inspector.

To patrol Jiuzhou and suppress the demons under the heavens.

It should be just as it was before his eyes.

"Sir!"

Zhang Xuan turned his horse around; previously, within the city, he wanted to say... perhaps they should inform the General first, discuss carefully before taking action, to avoid startling the enemy. Though they had killed the leopard demon, they might not be able to withstand the Crimson Eye Demon King, and risk a greater disaster.

But at that moment, as the other man handed him the head of his colleague,

The usually distressed Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a mad impulse: "I'll go inform the Demon-suppression Bureau to take over Nanyue City right away, and then immediately bring people over to join you."

Rather than waiting to die, it was better to use the last bit of strength to slay a few more demons!

"Go."

Shen Yi nodded and dismounted from his horse.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Xuan asked, puzzled. Then he saw a cluster of red clouds gathering under Shen Yi's feet, suddenly shooting up into the sky!

He gaped at the sky, his eyes widening in astonishment.

This thing... the more he looked, the more it resembled a Demon Cloud.

And how was he supposed to find Officer Shen later? With no one waiting by his side, who would protect him when his Yin God left his body?

...

Standing atop the crimson Demon Cloud.

Shen Yi stared at the panel, where the lifespan of the demons occasionally flickered.

Most were a few dozen years, with the odd one or two reaching four or five hundred years.

Lady Qinghua had once been a Demon King, even more adept at finding demons than he was at catching them.

He closed the panel, too lazy to direct her.

His Golden Eagle Divine Ability revealed itself once again, and together with the perfected art of energy perception, he soared toward the areas with the densest demon Qi.

Following Shen Yi's character, he normally went straight for the Demon Kings.

But after witnessing the event in Nanyue City just now, he had quietly changed his mind.

Beneath his feet, another magnificent city appeared.

Shen Yi had never seen such a situation before; each demon ruler sat obediently in the Demon Suppressing General's Mansion, waiting.

He dispelled the Demon Cloud.

His entire body roared down toward the ground!

The expansive mansion collapsed under the enormous force, and the tall beams shattered into fine dust.

Boom—

The massive noise brought silence to the entire city.

About thirty breaths later, the dust settled.

Emerging from the debris, a figure clad in dark robes took measured steps out, dragging a demon corpse with a shattered head.

Carrying the body.

Shen Yi once again rode the clouds into the sky, opened his mouth to transform it into three drops of Demon Blood, and meanwhile sent a divine mental message to Lady Qinghua to hurry over and finish up. With four large prefectures and at least a hundred to two hundred county cities, there was plenty to keep busy.

...

A streak of red clouds flashed across the sky of Song State at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Similar activities repeated over four different Prefectural Cities.

Meanwhile.

A Yin God wandered through the various county towns. Demons who had been eating and drinking, gambling money, or sleeping on warm beds with soft pillows had their lives reaped in the blink of an eye, with their corpses pocketed right away.

The demons who a moment ago were swaggering about vanished mysteriously, leaving the stunned common people behind.

While in another region still controlled by the Demon-suppression Bureau.

Zhang Xuan finally reached Song State city. Riding two Demon Horses, he arrived at the government office in a flash of light.

Before he dismounted, he began shouting at the top of his lungs, "General!"

The sound echoed within the office, resembling a booming bell.

Countless Colonels and vice commanders stood petrified, taking a good while to realize it was General Zhang's voice.

Normally showing a somber demeanor, it had been a long time since he had been seen with such fervent emotion.

An emaciated old man in a long gown walked out briskly from the office.

It was Yang Qianxiang, the General of Song State.

"You've returned from the Imperial City?" He halted his steps, eyes questioning as he looked toward the Demon Horse beneath Zhang Xuan.

A black scaled serpent horse?

Yang Qianxiang closed his eyes, finally recalling to whom this mount belonged.

Only a Demon Suppression Bureau Inspector could mobilize it.

When he opened his eyes to the empty horse next to it, his voice couldn't help but tremble, "Has Lord Chen returned to Great Qian?"
