The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 351 The Entrustment of Demon-Suppressing Valley

"You asked for it."

Long Qiushui appeared at the end of the alley and gave Long Qiuhu a disapproving look.

Su Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at his master with a puzzled expression.

"Master, what's going on?"

"My second brother"

Long Qiushui came to Su Yan's side and said, "He just returned from Xizhou Prefecture. He learned about you from me and came here specifically to see your abilities."

"To defy the Dharma is unheard of!"

Long Qiuhu put away his Panlong Black Gold Spear and revealed a simple and honest smile.

Anyone who saw him would think he was an extremely kind and honest man, but the shrewdness in his eyes revealed that he was not as kind as his smile suggested.

"Come on, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go home and talk."

Long Qiuhu swept his arms around Su Yan and Long Qiushui and headed straight for the east side of the royal city. Before long, the three of them arrived in front of a spacious and imposing mansion.

The courtyard walls were vermilion, the gate was heavy, and the words "Demon Suppressing General's Mansion" were written on the eaves.

"Second Master, Fourth Miss"

Long Qiushui glanced at the butler and then said, "Fifth Uncle, he is my disciple."

"This humble servant greets Young Master Su."

The old butler had a kind voice, but he was extremely tall, standing at least 1.8 meters, with white hair but a robust physique and an aura of considerable strength.

'Dharma Realm Warrior'

Seemingly sensing Su Yan's probing, the steward Long Wu said with a smile, "I used to be a member of the Marquis's personal guard, but I was injured and retired, which is why I've been staying in the Marquis's mansion."

Long Wu only went out to greet Long Qiushui after he learned that she had finally returned to the Marquis's mansion after returning to the capital. Otherwise, given his status, only the Marquis, the Demon Suppressor General Long Qing, and the four young masters and ladies in the Marquis's mansion would be worthy of his greeting. Even the third-generation descendants would not be worthy of such courtesy.

"This junior greets Senior Long Wu."

Long Wu chuckled and said, "Although Young Master Su has not yet arrived at the Marquis's residence, his reputation in the royal city has already spread far and wide. This old man admires him greatly."

Long Wu welcomed the three inside and immediately instructed the servants to prepare food.

Long Qiushui, Long Qiuhu, and Su Yan sat down. Long Qiuhu casually poured tea and drank water, while Long Qiushui poured a cup for Su Yan.

Of the three, Su Yan is currently the most confused, because he doesn't know why his master suddenly came to find him with Long Qiuhu.

"I heard that when you first entered the Danqiao realm, you had more than ten strands of true intent. But now, you've only managed to condense one strand of true intent, while the others seem to be contained. Are you perhaps pursuing the path of Hunyuan Guiyi?"

Long Qiuhu looked at Su Yan and suddenly asked a question.

Su Yan glanced at Long Qiushui and, without hiding anything, said, "Yes, the path of Hunyuan Guiyi suits me better."

"No wonder he has such strength but hasn't broken through."

Long Qiuhu grinned and said, "That's perfect. You haven't broken through to the Dharma Aspect yet, so you and my little sister can go together for the Demon Suppression Valley spot."

Su Yan looked at Long Qiushui with a surprised expression, and suddenly realized that the opportunity that Long Qiushui had mentioned to him back then had actually come to fruition here.

"Second Uncle, what kind of place is this Demon Suppression Valley? Is it a secret realm?"

It's not a secret place.

Long Qiuhu said, "The Demon Suppression Valley is located in the mountains on the north side of Xizhou Prefecture. It is a place where earthly evil spirits gather. It was formed by the gathering of vengeful spirits during the great war ten thousand years ago. The resentment in it is extremely heavy, and powerful evil spirits are often born. Therefore, it needs to be suppressed all year round, which is also within the scope of our Demon Suppression Army's duties."

Su Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Since it needs to be suppressed, why not just destroy it?" "The root of the Demon Suppression Valley comes from the Earthly Fiend Veins. Destroying the vengeful spirits is simple, but suppressing the Earthly Fiends is difficult. Regular cleanup is already the best way. Moreover, killing the Earthly Fiend Spirits and vengeful spirits can also absorb their essence to strengthen the soul and help Danqiao Realm martial artists break through to the Dharma Aspect."

At this point, Long Qiuhu laughed: "Although it's a bit dangerous, the spots to enter the valley are highly sought after."

Among the members of the Long family, Long Qing is a Golden Body martial artist, while the eldest brother Long Qiujian, the second brother Long Qiuhu, and the third brother Long Qiuyun are all Dharma Aspect martial artists. Only the youngest, Long Qiushui, is currently a Danqiao Realm martial artist.

She is the youngest and has not been cultivating for very long, so it is already unexpected that she was able to cultivate to the Star Sea Realm so quickly.

Not to mention that it has already reached the completion of the Three Elixir Eight Transformations and is just waiting for the final step.

Upon learning this news, Long Qiuhu naturally wanted to retain the spot. As for the other spot, it should have been reserved for a third-generation disciple or an outstanding martial artist from a collateral branch.

However, Long Qiushui intervened and asked him to give the spot to Su Yan.

Long Qiushui is the daughter of Long Qing, who was born late in life. Everyone cherishes her. Although it is only one spot, it is not impossible to give her away.

However, Long Qiuhu's original intention was still to conduct an assessment.

But now that we've taken action, it really is up to Su Yan.

There's no other reason than that with Su Yan around, even if something unusual happens within the Demon Suppression Valley, no one will be able to harm my little sister.

"If I were to take this spot directly, I'm afraid the other disciples of the Long family would be dissatisfied."

Su Yan did not agree directly, but instead stated a fact.

"You are my younger sister's disciple, so you are practically a member of the Long family. Your qualifications are not in question. As for your strength, anyone who has a problem with that can come and fight you. Let's see who dares to come."

Long Qiuhu was a scoundrel; with a mere glance, he came up with a brilliant idea.

Long Qiushui couldn't bear to look at her second brother. Everyone in the royal city knew that Su Yan's strength was comparable to that of a Dharma Aspect, although he wasn't a Great Dharma Aspect at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect realm.

The Dharma Aspect Realm alone is already a first-class master in the martial arts world, and above that is a top-level master like the Martial Saint, enough to determine the status of a force.

Above that are the most supreme terrestrial immortals.

No matter how strong the third-generation disciples are, they can't possibly contend with Su Yan; that would be overestimating their own abilities.

Anyway, it's obvious that Long Qiuhu is going to bully people.

“Then I will go with my master.”

Su Yan agreed, since he was going to Xizhou Prefecture anyway, and it was convenient for him to go there anyway.

"There are restrictions set up by my Demon Suppression Army in the Demon Suppression Valley, which prevent the use of the power of the Dharma Aspect Realm. I'm afraid you can't use your few ferocious insects. Fourth-order Earthly Fiends or Wraiths will also be born in the Demon Suppression Valley, but their strength will be suppressed. Ordinary Danqiao martial artists will be in more danger, but I won't say much about the two of you."

He had already experienced Su Yan's strength. Even without using the ferocious insects, he had the strength to fight against a fourth-tier opponent, which was enough.

"Be careful of those who go with you: members of the royal family, members of the Longevity Pavilion and the Great Evolution Dao Sect, and other prodigies."

The number of places in the Demon Suppression Valley is limited, but everyone who can enter is someone with a powerful background and exceptional talent among martial artists.

Su Yan showed some curiosity when he heard about the Dali royal family, the Dayan Dao Sect, and the Longevity Pavilion.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I still have some ways to protect myself."

Seeing Su Yan's confidence, Long Qiuhu felt a little relieved. Although infighting was generally rare, every year there were cases of people being injured and then having their mental state broken by the evil spirits of the earth.

"There is one more thing. If you two want to be extricated from your positions in the Demon Suppression Guard, I will take care of it."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and began to ponder the key point.

Su Yan said, "Second Uncle, the Beast King Sect has entered the Demon Suppression Guard. This means that someone above wants to take on the Jianghu (martial arts world) and it will probably not be so easy for them to extricate themselves."
