Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

The previous self-destruction attack led Gu Song to mistakenly believe that the extraterrestrial demons, having failed to breach the pass and enter the interior for so many years, were enraged and preparing to launch a new attack.

After all, the extraterrestrial demons have been waging an epic war against the inhabitants of the pass for hundreds of years in order to enter the pass, and it's as if it were all pre-rehearsed, with the same attack methods every time.

When the Blood Sun appeared, Gu Song thought that the extraterrestrial demons were changing their attack methods and were determined to take over the Demon Suppression Pass. However, he later discovered that although this Blood Sun was also an extraterrestrial demon, it would not attack on its own initiative, but would instead send other demons to attack.

In the years since the appearance of the Blood Sun, the attacks of extraterrestrial monsters have been like a complete and unchanging process.

First, a blood-red sun appeared, then two or three days later, a dark shadow appeared, and then the war began, with sieges occurring every two or three days.

For decades, this has been the case, and the ancient pine tree has become somewhat numb to it; the Demon Suppression Pass has almost become a fixed monster-spawning spot for the creatures within the pass.

Therefore, this battle was different from the past, which made Gu Song instinctively feel uneasy. First, the frequency of sieges increased significantly, and then there was this method of siege by self-destruction.

Gu Song pondered this for a long time regarding the new combat method at Zhenyao Pass, but then, this self-destruct attack stopped appearing, which puzzled Gu Song even more.

Gu Song was standing beside his camp, looking up at the blood-red sun.

Based on his decades of experience fighting Blood Sun, Gu Song could predict that Blood Sun was definitely a high-level extraterrestrial monster with high intelligence, and was the commander among extraterrestrial monsters.

Since he was the commander, Gu Song thought the other party wouldn't be foolish enough to sacrifice so many self-destructing monsters. Was it just to intimidate the demon-suppressing gatekeeper?

Gu Song thought this was impossible, so he decided to have someone investigate the matter.

Gu Song instructed the surrounding guards to summon Shui Tian, ​​the captain of the third squad. Shui Tian was a cultivator in the early stage of the Integration Realm, and his lineage was biased towards cause and effect.

Therefore, Gu Song believed that entrusting the investigation of this matter to Shui Tian was the best course of action.

"General, you wanted to see me."

With no fighting going on, Shui Tian arrived in no time.

"Captain Shui, it's like this. I've been thinking about this for the past few days. A month ago, Blood Sun definitely wouldn't have launched an explosive attack for no reason, just to force our battle lines back."

"This matter is indeed strange, General. Do you want me to investigate?"

"Yes, Shui Tian, ​​it's most suitable for you to handle this matter."

"Yes, General."

Afterwards, Gu Song gave Shui Tian some more instructions, telling him not to rush and to investigate slowly.

After all, this was just a question that Gu Song had. In the past month, apart from the fact that the frequency of battles between the extraterrestrial monsters was still the same as before, there was almost nothing else unusual about them.

As Gu Song continued to ponder, another wave of demons gathered in the distance.

"All troops on high alert!"

......

After receiving Tang He's invitation, Lin Canghai and Jiang Lie promptly set off from their sect to head to Cangwu City.

The three have now formed a strategic alliance within Cangwu County. Lin Canghai and Jiang Lie have naturally heard about Tang He's affairs today and greatly admire him, believing that he is different from those officials who only know how to exploit the people.

It was precisely for this reason that Lin Canghai and Jiang Lie were both willing to befriend Tang He, since with the three of them working together, there really was nothing that couldn't be accomplished in Cangwu County.

The three parties had reached a consensus beforehand on eradicating the Black Fiend Sect.

"Haha, Prefect Tang, it's been a long time! I heard that Prefect Tang was praised by Emperor Guangyao some time ago, which is truly an honor for our Cangwu Prefecture."

"Sect Leader Lin is too kind. I have summoned you here because I have important matters to discuss. Please sit down and have some tea. We will discuss this together when Sect Leader Jiang arrives."

Afterwards, Lin Canghai sat down, and the servants around him served tea. Because the Beast Taming Sect was closer to Cangwu County, Lin Canghai arrived earlier than Jiang Lie.

Before long, Jiang Lie also arrived in Cangwu City. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tang He handed a secret exploration report to Jiang Lie and Lin Canghai respectively.

After the two read it, Tang He spoke up.

"The people from Yinfeng Village have now entered Cangwu County and are heading towards the Black Fiend Sect."

"That old white ape from Yinfeng Village thought he was very clever, but little did he know that Prefect Tang had already found out everything about him."

The fact that Yin Feng Village was planning to annex the Black Fiend Sect had already been discovered in secret by the Demon Extermination Division.

As a county-level exorcism division, it is also a very large organization. The exorcism division of the Hantian Dynasty has only two levels: the general division and the branch divisions.

The Demon Extermination Division in Hantian City is the head office of the Demon Extermination Division. In addition, there are four branch divisions in the four prefectures. Therefore, there are also many powerful Demon Extermination Division members in the branch divisions.

Basically, each branch office has several high-level cultivators, and these high-level cultivators are all proficient in different areas.

After all, from investigation to tracking, to exorcising demons, and finally cleaning up the mess, it is a complete process. Naturally, the Demon Exorcising Division has a high-level cultivator who is skilled in this field in charge of each link.

Therefore, the Demon Extermination Division had already investigated the Yin Feng Village's actions. What the three did not expect was that the Yin Feng Village had set its sights on the Black Fiend Sect.

Because Yinfeng Village is located at the border of Cangwu County and Zixia County, in a no-man's-land, it has developed very well over the years.

Of course, Tang He would naturally have to deal with Yin Feng Village, but all of Tang He's previous focus had been on the Black Fiend Sect. As for Yin Feng Village, Tang He planned to deal with it after he had dealt with the Black Fiend Sect.

"Perfect, let's take them all in one go."

"Let's give them one of these, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"The two sect leaders share the same idea, so I specifically discussed with you two this time to make sure that the disciples from your respective sects who will participate in this operation are all prepared in advance."

"After all, we cannot guarantee how long it will take for Yinfeng Village to take down Heisha Gate after they arrive. What we do know is that, based on Yinfeng Village's current pace of progress, it will take them about ten more days to reach Heisha Gate."

"That old white ape from Yinfeng Village is indeed quite skilled. He scattered all his Yinfeng Village members, dividing them into groups of a few, and slowly made his way towards the Black Fiend Gate in order to avoid attracting our attention."

"Fortunately, the Exorcism Division is now operating very swiftly."

After ascending the throne, Tang He strictly formulated measures to prevent demonic disturbances.

Previously in Zuoping County, he failed to take preventative measures against such incidents, which led to two separate demonic events.

Now that he has taken over as the governor of Cangwu County, Tang He has been keeping a close eye on the Demon Extermination Bureau and has changed its previous lazy state, making the entire bureau operate to the maximum extent possible. At the same time, he has formulated a series of measures to prevent demons from causing trouble.

Tang He also ordered the Demon Extermination Bureau to secretly and strictly guard the two demonic sects, Black Fiend Sect and Yin Wind Village, located on the north and south sides of Cangwu County.

This surveillance led to the discovery of Yin Feng Village's infiltration of the Black Fiend Sect and its plan to annex the Black Fiend Sect.

Tang He decisively believed that this was a good opportunity. The three forces had planned to attack the Black Fiend Sect soon, and now that Yin Wind Village had delivered itself to their doorstep, the three forces naturally had no reason not to accept it. So the three of them discussed the specific battle details for another morning. Tang He naturally left Lin Canghai and Jiang Lie in Cangwu County for lunch.

"By the way, are Xiao Song and Miss Jiang coming back soon?"

"Judging by the time, it should be about ten more days."

"That will be just in time for our operation. The Black Fiend Sect has a deep connection with Song Xun, and this will also help him understand this demonic sect."

The three chatted for a while during the meal. Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng were both juniors whom they liked very much, which was also a common topic among them.

"I think Xiao Song and Miss Jiang are a perfect match, a golden couple."

"Indeed, the two are of similar age, have similar cultivation levels, and are both very intelligent. If they could get married, that would be wonderful."

Now it is Tang He and Lin Canghai who are speaking. Song Xun's father has passed away, so Tang He, as the former magistrate of Zuoping County, who watched Song Xun grow up, is naturally Song Xun's elder.

Song Xun's master, Xuanjizi, had long since passed away. As Xuanjizi's longtime friend and the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Canghai, as Song Xun's senior uncle, naturally cared for Song Xun a lot.

Hearing their words, Jiang Lie was slightly taken aback.

"Hahaha, you two."

The two naturally hoped that Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng could get married happily.

Tang He believed that Song Xun was a very good child since childhood, and now that he had entered the world of cultivation, he had made great progress. He had met Jiang Wanfeng that day and also approved of the girl.

Lin Canghai's approval of the two goes without saying. Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Beast Taming Sect have always been on good terms, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is much larger than the Beast Taming Sect. And according to the current development trajectory, Lin Canghai will naturally pass the sect leader position to Song Xun in the future.

If Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng could become Daoist partners, it would be of great benefit not only to Song Xun's future development but also to the future development of the Beast Taming Sect.

Jiang Lie was naturally aware of what the two were thinking, but then he thought again that Song Xun was indeed a very outstanding junior.

In fact, Jiang Lie believed that Song Xun's talent surpassed that of his own daughter.

"If the two children like each other, I, as their father, will definitely support them."

Upon hearing this, Tang He and Lin Canghai beamed with joy, as they both knew how much Jiang Lie doted on his daughter.

The fact that Jiang Lie said those words meant that he approved of Song Xun. As for whether the children would like each other, Tang He and Lin Canghai felt that this was self-evident.

All three of them are shrewd and can naturally see the relationship between Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng. Now that they have been training together at Zhenyao Pass for three months, their relationship is likely to warm up even more.

Jiang Lie actually had a slight approval of Song Xun and his own daughter, not only because Song Xun was intelligent, but also because Jiang Lie felt that Song Xun was a young man of good character.

At the same time, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has always been on good terms with the Beast Taming Sect and has always been a strategic ally. If the future sect leaders of the two sects are Daoist couples, it will further increase this intimacy.

Of course, most importantly, Jiang Lie had never seen Jiang Wanfeng get along so well with any other boy in all these years.

Song Xun is probably the first male friend that Jiang Wanfeng values ​​so much.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Jiang has agreed."

"Xiao Song is indeed a good kid."

"Then I think we should wait until the children come back and ask the two of them, maybe we can get engaged right away."

"That's great. After we wipe out the two major demonic sects, this will be a triple celebration."

Seeing the two getting more and more excited as they talked, Jiang Lie was speechless. These two were really pushing their luck.

No, we can't let them continue this topic. We can't just hand over our own virgin daughter to Song Xun like this.

Hmm, we need to investigate Song Xun further...

"We'll discuss it later, we'll discuss it later. Come on, let's drink."

"Haha, Sect Leader Jiang, you're being shy."

"Come on, let's have a drink!"

Three middle-aged men were drinking merrily in the backyard of the Cangwu City Prefectural Governor's Mansion...
