The most ruthless person in the Demon Suppression Division

Hearing this, Xu Ye smiled and patted Xu Zhizhi, saying, "Don't worry! I promise you, I will never put myself in danger."

Xu Zhizhi nodded, gradually accepting the fact.

She wasn't actually afraid that Xu Ye would enter the Demon Suppression Division.

She was just terrified of losing Xu Ye, her only family member.

"Don't cry, look, there's silver even if you enter the Demon Suppression Division! Zhizhi can buy lots of meat to eat from now on." Seeing that Xu Zhizhi's emotions were gradually calming down, Xu Ye took out the money bag, placed it on the table, and smiled at Xu Zhizhi.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhizhi glanced at the money pouch but didn't touch it. Instead, she said, "I don't need a lot of money, nor do I need to eat a lot of meat. I just hope that my brother and I can both be safe and sound."

"I promise you, I will," Xu Ye said solemnly.

Xu Zhizhi finally nodded, managing to calm herself down.

Afterwards, the brother and sister had a simple dinner. After Xu Zhizhi finished cleaning up, Xu Ye told her to rest.

Xu Ye returned to his room.

Back in his room, Xu Ye didn't hesitate at all; he quickly took out the first-grade cultivation technique, the Demon Subduing Scripture.

After perfecting the Qi Refining Technique, he never practiced it again.

If he had a top-tier martial arts technique in hand, he would no longer be able to suppress his restless heart.

With the Demon-Subduing Scripture in hand, Xu Ye quickly opened it and carefully read everything on it.

Regardless of the method of cultivation, he analyzed every detail one by one.

Although this Demon Subduing Scripture is only a copy and not the original, the records on it are extremely detailed, and there are also some cultivation annotations, and even other people's cultivation experiences.

For Xu Ye, this couldn't be more favorable.

"As expected of a first-grade cultivation technique, it is indeed exquisite." After thoroughly mastering the cultivation method of the Demon Subduing Scripture, Xu Ye couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Cultivation techniques that have reached a certain grade are different from those that haven't.

The Qi Refining Technique he had practiced before was extremely useful for him, even though he was just starting out.

But at this moment, compared to the Subduing Demons Scripture, it's like heaven and earth.

The two are simply incomparable.

The Qi Refining Technique is rubbish.

After Xu Ye finished speaking, the system panel changed.

The original Qi Refining Technique progress bar has been replaced by the Demon Subduing Scripture.

Obviously, the system will display the more suitable techniques on the panel.

However, at this point, he had not yet even begun to understand the Subduing Demons Sutra.

"I hope to reach the Qi Control Realm soon." Seeing this, Xu Ye didn't waste any words and took a deep breath to begin cultivating the Demon Subduing Scripture.

He began to practice and cultivate according to the cultivation methods and operational principles of the Subduing Demons Sutra.

Streams of spiritual energy surged within his nine martial meridians.

His spiritual power was also gradually becoming stronger and more powerful.

Cultivation makes one unaware of the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Xu Ye slightly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"The Subduing Demons Scripture truly lives up to its reputation as a first-grade cultivation technique; its cultivation is indeed challenging," Xu Ye thought to himself.

After a night of cultivation, he only managed to circulate the Demon Subduing Scripture fifty times, gaining fifty points of proficiency.

If this were a Qi Refining Technique, he would probably have already circulated it hundreds of times.

The difference in difficulty is indeed enormous.

However, for Xu Ye, these difficulties were not a problem at all.

He just needs time; sooner or later he will be able to master the basics of cultivation.

"I believe that the day I master the Subduing Demons Scripture will be the day I step into the realm of Qi Control," Xu Ye thought to himself as he sensed the spiritual energy circulating within his body.

Although he hadn't even scratched the surface of the Demon-Subduing Scripture, his one night of practice wasn't entirely fruitless.

His spiritual power has become quite formidable.

His strength and power have reached a new level compared to before.

If he were to face that cat demon again now, Xu Ye felt he could kill it even more easily.

I believe that once he has mastered the Subduing Demons Scripture, he will be able to enter the realm of Qi Control.

"I need to report to the Demon Suppression Division today, so it seems I can only practice my swordsmanship there." Thinking this, Xu Ye took a deep breath, stood up, and carefully put away the Demon Subduing Scripture.

He also has a Demon-Subduing Blade Technique, which is also a first-grade martial art.

He longed to cultivate, but there was no time now; he had to report to the Demon Suppression Division.

Moreover, this place is too small for him to maneuver properly.

Then there's no need to even think about practicing swordsmanship.

It seems the only way to cultivate is to go to the Demon Suppression Division.

"Looks like we'll have to move to a bigger house," Xu Ye said with a smile.

This house is still too small.

It's really too crowded for my sister to live with him.

Moreover, one needs space to cultivate oneself.

Therefore, we need to set a goal first, earn credit, and move to a bigger house as soon as possible.

Just as Xu Ye was thinking about this, Xu Zhizhi came out carrying two bowls of noodles.

"Brother, dinner's ready!" Xu Zhizhi said with a smile.

He has accepted the fact that Xu Ye has become a demon-suppressing guard.

Her brother did everything for her, so naturally she wouldn't remain deeply involved.

Moreover, her personality simply wouldn't allow her to do that.

Breakfast was simple: two bowls of plain noodles with two eggs.

Very satisfied!

After finishing his meal, Xu Yefeng prepared to head to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Brother! Please be careful. I've prepared dinner and am waiting for you to come back."

Seeing Xu Ye preparing to leave, Xu Zhizhi did not stop him, but her face was full of worry.

Xu Ye laughed and said, "Don't worry! I promise you, I'll come back safely every day."

"Yes!" Xu Zhizhi nodded vigorously.

My brother has never lied to him.

Xu Ye didn't waste any words and turned to leave.

After yesterday's verification, he knew that Xu Zhizhi was not in danger for the time being.

That's why I feel so comfortable letting Xu Zhizhi stay at home alone.

……

Baiyun County has a large population, so it is divided into inner and outer towns. The inner town is inhabited by the wealthy and powerful people in Baiyun County.

The outer city was mostly inhabited by ordinary people, and Xu Ye and his group lived there.

The Demon Suppression Office, on the other hand, is located within the inner city.

Therefore, Xu Ye still had some distance to travel to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Not long after Xu Ye stepped out of the room, he discovered that a large number of county government officials had sealed off a door on the street where they were.

Xu Ye was surprised. What had happened?

Just then, a rough-looking middle-aged man walked towards them. He was surprised to see Xu Ye and spoke first, "Young Master Xu, are you heading out?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye looked at the man. He was their neighbor and someone they knew. Xu Ye usually called him Uncle Liu.

Xu Ye immediately laughed and said, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he looked at the constable not far away and asked, "Uncle Liu, what happened up ahead?"

"Why are there so many officials here?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu took a deep breath and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Someone died here last night."

"The entire Zhang family, the blacksmith shop owners, died, and it was a particularly tragic death. It's said that their internal organs were all gone, leaving only an empty shell."

"Tsk tsk, just thinking about that scene is terrifying, it sends chills down my spine."
