The most ruthless person in the Demon Suppression Division

Xu Ye was grateful and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

When working, one refers to their job title.

He certainly couldn't call him Uncle Du.

Du Yuanxiu understood Xu Ye's meaning and waved his hand slightly.

Xu Ye has the ability; if he were to protect Xu Zhizhi himself, he would feel more at ease.

Anyway, these are all things he can do within his authority.

Thinking this, Du Yuanxiu took a breath and said, "Since you are in charge of patrolling the North Street of the Outer City, then you should also handle matters concerning the North Street of the Outer City."

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan and the other person were slightly puzzled.

What's wrong?

Xu Ye's heart stirred slightly.

At this moment, Du Yuanxiu looked at Lü Tao.

Lu Tao immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Last night, a demon murder occurred on the north street of the outer city, according to the information from the county government."

"There was a blacksmith shop on North Street. The family had a total of five members. Four of them were killed, leaving only one survivor."

"Orders have just come down from above, and we must resolve this within a day. Since you are starting your performance review today, it is up to you to handle it."

After Lü Tao finished speaking, Zhao Heng and Lin Yuyan's expressions changed slightly.

Demons kill!

Although they had encountered demons before.

But we haven't dealt with this kind of thing before.

When they realize they have to deal with this kind of thing right at the start of their performance review, they inevitably feel some psychological burden.

Xu Ye's heart stirred slightly.

Is it really a demon harming people?

He had heard from his neighbors that the entire blacksmith family had died, probably killed by demons.

I can't believe it's true!

And, by sheer coincidence, the task of handling this matter fell to him.

Xu Ye immediately looked at Lü Tao and asked, "Do you know what kind of demon is causing trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Tao gave Xu Ye an appreciative look. There were three of them in total, and Xu Ye had taken the initiative to ask.

Clearly, Xu Ye's idea was quite comprehensive.

Immediately, Lü Tao said, "That demon is quite cunning, and the incident happened suddenly. The Demon Patrol Guards haven't investigated it yet."

"However, based on the judgment, after the demon killed people, it ate all of their internal organs. This behavior was probably done by a weasel."

Weasel, that is, a weasel that has become a demon!

It was actually a weasel demon?

No wonder he's cunning!

Xu Ye nodded slightly. "What is the demon's cultivation level approximately?"

Lu Tao remained silent, while Du Yuanxiu said, "Judging from your performance on the spot, you are fully capable of handling this."

They knew Xu Ye's strength, which is why they made that judgment.

"It's just the sixth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, what's so special about that?" Zhao Heng muttered unconvinced upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, no one paid him any attention.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Yuyan's eyes.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Ye is perfectly capable of leading them.

Even when asked about these details, Xu Ye could think of them.

Unlike Zhao Heng, that good-for-nothing, all he does all day is mess around, what else could he possibly have in his head?

If he were in charge, he'd be dead eight hundred times over sooner or later.

Xu Ye nodded slightly, "Okay! Let's head to the scene right away."

Du Yuanxiu said sternly, "This matter concerns the safety of the people and cannot be taken lightly. Do you understand?"

"I will definitely complete the mission!" Xu Ye assured him.

My sister is also on North Street outside the city.

He wouldn't feel at ease until the demons' mischief was dealt with.

Seeing this, Du Yuanxiu's tone softened, and he said, "Although it is important to kill demons and protect the people, your own safety is also very important. In any case, you must ensure your own safety."

His gaze fell on Xu Ye, but he was mostly giving Xu Ye instructions.

Old Xu is gone!

He didn't want anything to happen to Lao Xu's son again.

"Yes!" Xu Ye nodded solemnly.

After Du Yuanxiu and the others finished giving their instructions, they turned around to deal with their own affairs, leaving only Xu Ye and the other two in the room.

Lin Yuyan immediately stepped forward and said, "Chief Xu, what should we do next?"

Everyone else in the Demon Suppression Division calls their superiors that.

Lin Yuyan also let things take their course.

This was the first time they had been assigned such a mission, and they were unsure of where to begin.

Xu Ye hadn't said anything upon hearing this.

Zhao Heng immediately said, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll just have to find that demon and beat it to death."

He covered his face, his speech was a little slurred, but he was still arrogant.

Lin Yuyan glanced at him but ignored him.

If it were that easy to find, would you need to tell me?

Xu Ye then said, "Let's go check it out on site first!"

You should understand things first.

Lin Yuyan nodded slightly without saying anything.

Zhao Heng pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, Xu Ye and his two companions, dressed in the black robes of the Demon Suppression Bureau and carrying demon-slaying swords at their waists, left the Demon Suppression Bureau and headed to the North Street of the Outer City.

……

Xu Ye was very familiar with the North Street of the Outer City.

Moreover, he frequented the blacksmith's shop quite often.

Therefore, he was very familiar with the process.

But Lin Yuyan and Zhao Heng were clearly not used to it.

The environment of the outer city and the inner city is vastly different.

The outer city is somewhat remote and rather rudimentary.

The inner city, on the other hand, was prosperous and had a beautiful environment, so it naturally cannot be compared to the inner city.

These two were either children of officials or members of a powerful family, and they lived in the inner city year-round. Naturally, they were not used to living in the outer city for the first time.

Lin Yuyan was alright; although she frowned slightly, she could accept it.

Zhao Heng couldn't take it anymore.

He covered his swollen face with a veil and muttered with disgust, "What kind of godforsaken place is this?"

Xu Ye glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to come, then get lost. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Xu Ye really doesn't tolerate Zhao Heng.

Are the children of officials so great?

Now everyone has the same status.

And he's the boss.

Zhao Heng just let him suffer.

"You..." Zhao Heng was furious.

Damn!

Ever since he met Xu Ye, he felt that his identity as the son of the county magistrate was no longer useful.

"Alright, we're on a mission, not on vacation. Why all the nonsense?" Lin Yuyan glared at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng said sullenly, "I'm fine with it, I'm just worried you won't be used to it."

"I'm not as delicate as you," Lin Yuyan snorted.

Zhao Heng remained silent, cursing inwardly.

That wretched Xu Ye!

Xu Ye ignored Zhao Heng.

The group soon arrived at the location of the blacksmith's shop.

This place had already been sealed off by county officials.

No one can get close.

As Xu Ye and his group stepped forward, a constable from the county government came forward.

"Greetings, esteemed Demon-Suppressing Guards!"

The Demon Suppression Division and Demon Suppression Guards were official positions held by the imperial court.

The black-robed demon-suppressing guards were of a status no lower than that of a ninth-rank official.

Therefore, their status was naturally higher than that of these constables when they appeared.

Xu Ye raised his hand, took out the Demon Suppression Division's waist token, and flashed it. "The Demon Suppression Division has been ordered to take over this place. We need to know the details of what happened here."

Upon hearing this, the constable became even more respectful and said, "Yes! I will report everything we have found to you, sir!"

Xu Ye nodded slightly.

Without wasting words, the constable took out a file and began to recount what they had discovered during their investigation and some details.
