In the Demon Suppression Division: Crimson Words Nurture the Blade, Slaying Demons to Prove the Dao

"Alright, you've gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble this time. You'll probably get a good scolding after the mission is over."

Jiao Yu rubbed Hu Murong's head.

She didn't blame her, didn't ask any questions, it was just a simple pat on the head.

It almost made Hu Murong cry.

"Boss, I'm sorry..." Hu Murong's voice was choked with emotion.

"Stop talking nonsense, what were you thinking about earlier..." Wei Xuanfeng retorted irritably, then looked at Jiao Yu, "Boss, is there really a mission?"

"Yes, Chenjia Village was attacked by the Xuanlan Wolf Demon, and Boss Wu sent me to quell the attack." Jiao Yu nodded. "As for you... prepare to atone for your crimes with meritorious service."

"Chenjia Village?"

Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this name.

The village is located inside Kangcheng.

The Xuanlan Wolf Demon King had just been severely injured by Yang Xuyan and should have been recuperating at this time.

Why bypass Kangcheng and attack a village with only a thousand or so households?

"Hmm, the intelligence is vague, but accurate," Jiao Yu said. "Stop talking nonsense, the team has assembled, we're just missing the three of you."

With that, Jiao Yu led the three of them out of the east gate.

Outside the gate, hundreds of soldiers from the Northern Garrison were on high alert.

The orderly ranks exuded a strong sense of solemnity and impending doom.

"My lord, please mount your horse!"

Several soldiers led the horses over and handed the reins to Wei Xuanfeng and the others.

"Brothers, the mission is simple." Jiao Yu gracefully mounted his horse, then looked around at the group. "Go to Chenjia Village, slay the demons, and save the people. Aim to finish it within two days, and I'll treat you all to drinks when I get back!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Wei Xuanfeng took the lead and shouted loudly, and the many swordsmen responded in unison.

The noise was deafening. The soldiers guarding the city stood on the city wall, watching the winding procession move forward with envy in their eyes.

This is how a true man should be!

……

Unlike the army, the Demon Suppression Division did not have logistical burdens, so its marching speed was very fast.

In the group, only Wei Xuanfeng and three others were qualified to ride horses; the rest of the group proceeded on foot.

The horses' hooves clattered softly on the gravel of the official road, mingling with the muffled thuds of hundreds of boots pounding the ground behind them.

"Boss, don't you think something's a bit strange?" Wei Xuanfeng tightened the reins and approached Jiao Yu.

"Tell me your thoughts," Jiao Yu said, glancing at him.

After three months of working together, she realized that this subordinate was not a lecherous scumbag.

He is calm and collected, and sometimes even he himself is ashamed of his own composure.

In terms of ruthlessness, he is a hundred times more ruthless than I am.

"The Xuanlan Wolf Demon is a very intelligent beast with a strong sense of purpose," Wei Xuanfeng analyzed. "Their previous attack on our Northern Garrison Command was for the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus. Now they've gone to great lengths to attack Chen Family Village, could it be...?"

"You mean, what's in Chenjia Village that attracts the Xuanlan Wolf Demon?"

"Eighty percent, and boss, the people assigned to us for this mission are also wrong..." Wei Xuanfeng pointed to the soldiers behind him.

"Boss Wu said that our Northern Garrison Command really can't spare any more men."

"Boss, it's not about the number of people, it's..." Wei Xuanfeng paused slightly, organizing his thoughts, "Boss, let me put it this way, I've looked at a lot of files. But I've never seen a single instance where an 'urgent order' was used to quell demons."

"You...stop beating around the bush, tell me what you've guessed!"

"Boss, this urgent order isn't for you, is it..." Wei Xuanfeng said softly.

"Well done, you guessed that." Jiao Yu couldn't hide her admiration. "Come on, tell me, what else did you guess?"

Hearing this, Wei Xuanfeng felt a chill run down his spine...

"Boss, I was right..." Wei Xuanfeng glanced at the soldiers behind him, "They're all cannon fodder... and even... so are we..."

"Huh? How did you guess that?" Jiao Yu frowned.

"Then don't worry about it, boss. If the situation gets urgent, you must listen to me!" Wei Xuanfeng said solemnly.

"Listen to you? What if you tell me to desert at the last minute, and I run away too?"

"Yes, we have to escape!"

"No, once I put on this flying fish robe, I have to live up to it!" Jiao Yu frowned. "If I run away, what will happen to the people!"

"Boss, what will happen to Xiaoxiao if you die!" Wei Xuanfeng replied.

Jiao Xiaoxiao is a girl that Jiao Yu picked up.

Jiao Yu treated the child like her own daughter, but in the past three months, Wei Xuanfeng and the others had only seen the child once.

It was simply because Jiao Yu didn't want Jiao Xiaoxiao to know too much about the Demon Suppression Division.

All she wanted was for her daughter to grow up happily and live the life of a carefree young lady.

Upon hearing this name, Jiao Yu frowned!

"These are all your deductions. Maybe Chenjia Village is just a few lone wolves," Jiao Yu said irritably. "I won't die, and I won't run away. I can save everyone, then go home and be with my little one!"

After saying that, she gently tugged at the horse's rump, slightly increasing its speed.

He stopped speaking to Wei Xuanfeng.

Wei Xuanfeng watched her retreating figure, his thoughts racing.

"What are you thinking about?"

As soon as Jiao Yu left, Hu Murong and Wen Shihan came over, and Hu Murong smiled.

"Should we run away now?" Wei Xuanfeng asked honestly.

"ha?"

Just as the two women were wondering what was going on, a figure suddenly darted out from in front of them.

"Lord Centurion!" The figure was none other than the scout on this mission.

"explain."

Jiao Yu made a gesture, and the entire team stopped.

"Ten miles ahead, there is a large pack of wolf demons. The number is unknown, but it is conservatively estimated to be over a hundred."

Upon hearing this, Jiao Yu's expression changed slightly.

What are these beasts up to? There are so many of them. Even if we killed everyone in Chenjia Village, it wouldn't be enough for them to eat.

and……

Ten miles ahead, that's not Chenjia Village either. How come there are so many wolf demons gathered there?

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll report back after the next investigation."

"Yes."

As soon as the scout left, Jiao Yu immediately summoned Wei Xuanfeng.

"Xuanfeng, give the order: start a fire and cook on the spot. After the brothers have eaten and drunk their fill, throw away anything useless and head to Chenjia Village as fast as possible!"

"Yes, boss!"

……

Meanwhile, at Bailian Mountain.

"Jin people, you have paid such a high price this time. If you still cannot find the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus, I will make you wish you were dead."

A giant Xuanlan wolf demon lay near the spring in the cave, speaking in human language.

"Don't worry, Lord Wolf King, focus on recovering. I'll head to Chen Family Village right away and retrieve the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus for you..."

Wei Zhaoting had already changed into a proper black robe. He stood respectfully beside the wolf demon, glancing at its severed tail with disdain, but his tone remained respectful.

He was secretly plotting, even at the cost of having his physical body destroyed by Yang Xuyan.

It's all for...

Earth Immortal Spring Lotus!

"The Jin people are too cunning; even without their power, they still make me uneasy!"

With a wolf howl, when Wei Zhaoting walked out of White Lotus Mountain, he was followed by two Xuanlan wolf demons.

Judging by their physiques, they are all at the level of demon generals.

Wei Zhaoting is currently only at the Martial Realm, and those two wolf demons don't take him seriously at all.

Can……

As soon as he stepped out of Bailian Mountain, Wei Zhaoting's eyes turned cold.

"Little ones, let's whet our appetites before the main meal!"

Before he finished speaking, a swarm of black mosquitoes flew out of the jungle.

A buzzing sound emanated from between the tree canopy, like a living dark cloud.

When the two wolf demons realized something was wrong, it was too late to run away.

The mosquito swarmed the wolf demon, and in less than three breaths, the wolf demon was sucked dry and turned into a wolf corpse...

Wei Zhaoting glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

As expected of a descendant of one of the eight most ferocious insects of antiquity, this black water mosquito is truly domineering.

If only we could feed these little guys the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus.

maybe……

Thinking of this, Wei Zhaoting couldn't stop trembling and walked towards Chenjia Village with a slightly frenzied gait...

……
