So it turns out I'm the demon!

When two people simultaneously master the "Purple Mansion Covenant" and their cultivation progresses daily, a mysterious connection will arise between them.

Of course, at present, only Shangguan Luoxue can perceive it.

Although she could sense that someone had just begun their cultivation, the person had not yet made a formal breakthrough, so she could not pinpoint their exact location.

At that moment, the sensation suddenly became clear.

Clearly, the opponent had broken through to the first level, which was enough for her to pinpoint their location.

Shangguan Luoxue lightly raised her jade-like fingers and formed a magic seal.

A handful of purple snowflakes surged from her palm, carrying a wisp of divine consciousness, and drifted out of the underground palace.

However, it suddenly stopped mid-air.

Purple snowflakes condensed in mid-air, transforming into a hazy, ethereal image.

The illusory figure's robes fluttered, like a fairy under the moon, but her light purple eyes were filled with confusion.

"strangeness……"

Shangguan Luoxue frowned slightly. "The aura is clearly within Huzhou City, so why can't we pinpoint its exact location?"

Of course, she had no idea that some beast was AFK (away from keyboard) on the computer.

Whether it's the star position, the star core, or the cultivation technique, it's all with the Demon Shadow. Although the final results of the cultivation were reflected in Jiang Mu, he just couldn't sense them.

Because the demonic shadow is unconscious, without physical form, without soul or spirit, it is essentially a mass of empty energy.

You're letting your divine sense perceive a void?

That's not asking a blind man for advice.

"Could it be that this person noticed my spying and used some kind of secret technique to conceal it?"

Shangguan Luoxue was completely baffled.

Her divine sense spread out like a net, carefully exploring every corner of Huzhou City.

The result was still nothing.

This feeling of being out of control made her, whose temperament was always as indifferent as ice and snow, inexplicably somewhat frantic.

"Never mind, no rush."

Shangguan Luoxue suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

"I will soon reach the seventh level of cultivation, at which point I will be able to forcibly pull him into the 'Purple Mansion Divine Realm.' No matter how he tries to hide it, he will have nowhere to hide."

"But...by then, will it really need to be repaired?"

Recalling her master Ling Ye's past admonitions, the woman felt a pang of sadness.

"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes."

She shook her head, suppressing her distracting thoughts.

There's another thing troubling her right now.

I need to find an apprentice quickly.

The Cold Moon Sect has been passed down through generations, and it cannot be allowed to die out in her generation.

However, this sect has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples.

One must be exceptionally talented and gifted, possess outstanding appearance and demeanor, and most importantly, have astonishing potential for development in a certain area in the future.

too difficult.

In particular, as the garrison commander, she was unable to leave Huzhou City.

Ling Ye chose to serve as an inspector, traveling around to slay demons, partly to fulfill a deal he made with the court years ago, and partly to find a suitable successor for her.

But after all these years, nothing has been gained.

"Is it really that hard to find a bigger one?"

Shangguan Luoxue looked down and a rare hint of childlike annoyance appeared on her usually aloof and stunning face.

What ridiculous rules!

If all else fails, I'll just take on a male apprentice.

……

Jiang Mu was unaware that because of her diligent cultivation of the "Purple Extreme Technique," her virginity had been coveted by a certain powerful figure.

The days that followed returned to a peaceful routine.

He either stayed home to cultivate, or patrolled the streets with Zhang Xiao Kui, or accompanied Bai Xiang to water and fertilize the vegetable garden...

Occasionally, I would wander into the archives and peruse old files.

Of course, the most important thing is to remind a certain lady from time to time:

"Xiang'er, my birthday is in four days! Have you prepared your gift yet?"

"Xiang'er, it has to be a surprise, otherwise Master will be sad."

"Xiang'er..."

As a result, Bai Xiang was under immense pressure.

I was thinking about what to give as a gift while doing laundry, while chopping vegetables, and even while reading.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly sat up:

"No, is he sick?"

……

That morning.

Jiang Mu was supervising Yuan Aqing's cultivation in the courtyard when there was a sudden knock on the gate.

The door opened, and a young guard in the Demon Slayer Division uniform stood there, speaking respectfully:

"Master Jiang, the Chief Scribe has urgent business to discuss with you."

"Do you know what it is?"

"It seems we need to assign you a task."

Task?!

Jiang Mu's eyes lit up instantly.

It's finally here!

His "cheat" was already out of power, and he was even thinking of sneaking out of the city to try his luck.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Jiang Mu went back to her room to change her clothes, greeted Bai Xiang and Yuan Aqing, and then excitedly headed straight for the Demon Slayer Division.

We arrived at the office where the official in charge of signing documents.

However, they discovered that in addition to Ran Qingshan, Yan Fenghuo, the fourth hall master, was also there.

"You're here, Xiao Jiang."

Ran Qingshan closed the intelligence report in his hand and looked at him with a smile.

"Have you been resting well at home these past few days? You look radiant and have even gained some weight."

While joking, Ran Qingshan was actually quite emotional.

This rich kid, whom he once had the least faith in, is now repeatedly giving him a fright.

Now he has even obtained the position of a legitimate star official.

Simply outrageous.

Jiang Mu had no time for pleasantries and cut to the chase: "Master, are we going to slay demons?"

"That's right."

Ran Qingshan suppressed his smile and handed him the intelligence report on the table.

"The patrol team brought us new information: a monster we've been chasing for a long time is hiding in Black Wind Valley."

According to intelligence, including its subordinates, there are approximately seventy demons, and their exact location has been determined.

"What kind of monster? What level is it?" Jiang Mu's eyes lit up.

More than seventy!

These are over seventy power banks.

Ran Qingshan did not specify the type of demon, but only said:

"The leader is at the fourth level of perfection, and the rest are mostly third-level or first- or second-level lesser demons."

When the Mist Demon invaded, it took advantage of the chaos in the city to wreak havoc and kill many people. This time, I plan to have you cooperate with Hall Master Yan to go and eliminate it.

"Master Yan..."

Jiang Mu glanced at Yan Fenghuo beside her.

It is not uncommon for the two branches of the Demon Slayer Division to join forces on missions.

But the problem lies in the achievements.

Merit is related to resource allocation.

Even in cooperation, whoever takes the initiative and contributes the most will naturally get the biggest slice of the pie in the end.

Like Xu Fu, the leader of the Seventh Hall, he was always at the bottom before Jiang Mu arrived. When he went on missions, he was mostly an assistant to others, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and getting the least credit.

He was nicknamed "Leftover Rice".

Ran Qingshan has specifically asked him to cooperate with Yan Fenghuo, which is clearly a way of telling him to eat leftovers.

Jiang Mu frowned slightly: "Master, how about letting my Eighth Hall go alone?"

He is not afraid of offending people.

He had a conflict with Yan Fenghuo at the Shen residence last time, so it was impossible for the two to reconcile.

Since that's the case, we might as well just tear off our masks and keep them to ourselves.

I want to eat it all by myself, so what if I do?

Yan Fenghuo's face immediately darkened.

I've never seen anyone openly ostracize a colleague like this. This guy is incredibly ruthless. Does he really think he's invincible?

Ran Qingshan also coughed lightly and waved his hand:

"Alright, I'm doing this for your safety. If I'm asking you to cooperate, then cooperate. If you don't want to go, then stay home and rest."

"Oh well."

Jiang Mu had no choice but to give up.

He'll eat leftovers if he wants; his only purpose is to recharge his "hanger".

Merits and achievements don't matter.

"Master Yan, shall we depart now?" Jiang Mu asked Yan Fenghuo.

Yan Fenghuo said calmly, "Aren't you going to summon your two subordinates?"

Jiang Mu shook her head: "No, I can manage on my own."

Zhang Daxiao is currently preparing for a breakthrough and is not suitable for going on missions. Zhang Xiaokui, on the other hand, needs to stay at the government office.

"Let's go then."

Yan Fenghuo didn't say anything more and turned to walk outside.

As she turned around, she exchanged a glance with Ran Qingshan.

Ran Qingshan's eyes held a hint of worry, but Yan Fenghuo returned a confident look.

He was confident.

This time we'll definitely be able to find out who the mole is, Jiang Mu!

Again--

If I can't find out, I, Yan Fenghuo, will not only do a handstand and swallow excrement on the spot, but I will also personally pack up my wife and send her to that Jiang guy's bed!

no sooner said than done!
