Evil Immortal!

Chapter 85 A Surprise

"By the way, did the Vice Hall Master already see through Meng Yuan's cultivation level just now, which is why he said I've taken on a good subordinate?"

Gu Zhengyang belatedly realized what Qingyun Sanren had said earlier.

But Qingyun Sanren probably didn't know that Meng Yuan was just a mere martial arts master half a year ago; otherwise, he probably would have lost his composure.

Thinking about it this way, the more he looked at Meng Yuan, the more pleasing he became!

This young fellow is a thoroughbred horse that I discovered myself. Since joining the Demon Suppression Division, he has not only performed very well, bringing me honor, but he is also a rare cultivation genius. The better he performs in the future, the more honored I, his mentor, will be!

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gu Zhengyang smiled and said, his tone becoming much more friendly.

"You just said you needed to talk to me about something?"

"I have something important to ask you, sir."

Meng Yuan did not hide anything and revealed his purpose: "A few days ago, I discovered two strongholds of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. I intend to destroy these two strongholds. I wonder what instructions you have for me, sir?"

"A stronghold of the Cave of Ten Thousand Evils? Two of them?"

Gu Zhengyang was astonished. "How did you find out?"

He was naturally familiar with the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. It was a mysterious organization that had emerged in recent years. It operated covertly and wielded considerable power. Behind it lay the shadow of the demonic path, and it had committed numerous heinous crimes.

Especially a few days ago, a stronghold of the Ten Thousand Evil Caves was exposed by fire, which led to its discovery and the finding of many children in the cellar. Afterwards, the Demon Suppression Division investigated and found that everyone in the stronghold had been slaughtered by a cultivator, leaving no survivors. The Demon Suppression Division had limited information.

Even the Demon Suppression Division investigated but couldn't find many useful clues, and you're telling me you've found two strongholds of the Ten Thousand Evil Cave?

What a coincidence!

"I offended the Ten Thousand Evils Cave unintentionally before, and since then I've been targeted by them."

Meng Yuan did not reveal the truth, especially regarding matters concerning himself, but simply summarized: "A few days ago, I discovered that people from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave were secretly watching my residence. Afterwards, I secretly investigated and did indeed discover some clues."

Gu Zhengyang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. He had a feeling that Meng Yuan was definitely hiding something, but he did not pursue the matter further. He simply said, "There is something you probably don't know."

"Um?"

Meng Yuan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"The deputy hall master just came and told me two things."

Gu Zhengyang didn't keep them in suspense, and simply said, "One of these things is related to the Ten Thousand Evils Cave."

"What a coincidence?"

Meng Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"This is no coincidence."

Gu Zhengyang shook his head and spoke frankly: "Recently, Wanxie Cave has been too audacious, constantly trafficking children and causing numerous major cases. The commotion it has generated has been too great, and the higher-ups have been keeping an eye on Wanxie Cave for a long time. Especially recently, it is said that Wanxie Cave seems to be planning something big. This time, the deputy hall master has asked me to be in charge of investigating this matter."

Then he added, "However, I never expected you to give me such a big surprise!"

"It was indeed a surprise."

Meng Yuan nodded slightly. For him, the fact that the Demon Suppression Division was now also eyeing the Myriad Evil Cave was indeed a pleasant surprise, because the reason he came to see Gu Zhengyang today was to borrow the power of the Demon Suppression Division to deal with the Myriad Evil Cave!

The people of Wanxie Cave had been keeping an eye on him, especially the incense master Qimo of Wanxie Cave, who was a very troublesome and powerful character. He might be hiding in the shadows, watching him like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to pounce and bite at any moment.

Meng Yuan himself wasn't worried about himself, but he had his younger sister, Meng Yu, and he didn't want her to be in danger.

Therefore, now that Meng Yuan's cultivation level has increased dramatically, he has the ability to resolve such matters, so naturally he wants to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible!

In fact, although Meng Yuan had been in seclusion these past few days, his clone Zhong Shenxiu had not been idle and had been secretly investigating.

During this time, he also slaughtered many disciples of the Ten Thousand Evil Cave. He refined the White Bone Heavenly Demon Blade to become increasingly ferocious, and its quality had even been refined to the point of having thirteen restrictions, making it a minor gem among ordinary magical artifacts.

However, Qi Mo, as the leader of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, was a Purple Mansion cultivator and could use the power of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave to conceal himself. If he really wanted to hide, it would be difficult for Zhong Shenxiu to find him.

Moreover, since the clone's current cultivation level is still at the perfect stage of innate embryonic breathing, it is still necessary to act cautiously within Linjiang City.

However, although Meng Yuan cannot find the other party for the time being, he can force the other party to show up on his own initiative.

For example, if we overturn the two strongholds of the Ten Thousand Evil Caves in the city, the Beggar Demon will naturally become restless.

Moreover, in addition to eliminating the hidden dangers, he also needs to continue to complete the chain of quests he triggered earlier, namely, "Fangs of the Bone".

However, Meng Yuan was also well aware that the Wanxie Cave wielded considerable power in Linjiang Prefecture.

The incense master begs for demons, and that's one thing. Besides him, there are many other powerful and ruthless characters in the Ten Thousand Evil Cave, including some at the Golden Core level. Meng Yuan doesn't want to face such ruthless characters right now.

He is now part of an organization.

Using the power of the Demon Suppression Division to do your own thing is the right choice—to gain experience, complete tasks, and earn credit.

"Now that you've uncovered some things..."

'

Gu Zhengyang pondered for a moment, looked at Meng Yuan, and immediately decided, "In my opinion, it would be better to entrust this matter to you."

Anyway, Meng Yuan has already obtained important clues about this matter. If he gets involved again, wouldn't that mean he's trying to steal his little brother's credit?

Gu Zhengyang has always been frank and upright, never hypocritical or pretentious, so he would never resort to such despicable means.

"Thank you, sir?"

Meng Yuan bowed respectfully with a straight face, and at the same time changed to a more formal form of address, thinking to himself that Gu Zhengyang was indeed a kind and honest person, and such people were rare these days.

"You're welcome."

Gu Zhengyang didn't take it to heart. "It would be inconvenient for you to handle this alone. Since that's the case, you'll take the lead. You can call on Du Caidie and Master Kumu, and there will also be two teams of Demon-Suppressing Guards at your command. Also, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can ask me for help at any time."

"Yes, sir!"

Meng Yuan understood what the other party meant. Firstly, this matter was not something he could handle alone. Du Caidie and Master Kumu were both on his side, making them easier to use and unlikely to cause him any trouble. Secondly, this matter was of utmost importance, but Meng Yuan had no experience in handling such tasks. With the two of them accompanying him, Gu Zhengyang could rest assured.

Gu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's one more thing."

"Um?

'

Meng Yuan was puzzled, then remembered what the other party had just said, "Is it something else the Vice Hall Master mentioned earlier?"
