23: Demon Division, Martial Arts Division

“How dare you run wild in the Imperial City? Should I say you lone souls and wild ghosts from the Yin Soul Sect are bold, or brainless? Aren't you afraid that once you come here, you won't be able to leave?”

The Imperial City is, so to speak, at the Son of Heaven's feet.

Not only are there Masters from the Demon and Monster Division, the Martial Suppression Division, and the Qimen Division, but also Masters from the Imperial City Guard, Huguo Temple, and Jianlin Guard, among other forces, secretly guarding it.

What's the difference between causing trouble here and having a death wish?

“Hehehe… you don't need to worry about that. Since I dared to come, I naturally have a way to leave.”

“Zhong Xiu died by your hand, so if I take your head today, it will be considered as completing Master's instruction.”

An Executioner from the Ministry of Justice, how powerful could he be?

Easily killable!

Whoosh!!!

That figure flashed, and the entire person, like a ghostly shadow, suddenly disappeared.

The wind howled, and a frosty chill, like hoarfrost, swept towards Shen Tianxing!

In the dark night, the howling of ghostly winds echoed all around!

Shen Tianxing saw with his own eyes, shadowy entities emanating terrifyingly cold Qi suddenly flying out from the eerie ground, pouncing towards him.

“Is this the Great Yin Soul Refining Guide?”

He hadn't Cultivated this Cultivation Technique for long, but Shen Tianxing knew it was a method for seizing souls and spirits, capable of manipulating the Divine Soul and pulling opponents into an illusion!

Currently, this was clearly a Yin Soul illusion.

But unfortunately, it had no effect on him.

Roar!!

A surging and vigorous Qi and blood force, like a great river, carrying the most Yang and most rigid Qi, suddenly erupted from Shen Tianxing's body.

At this moment, he had no intention of hiding his strength whatsoever.

As his Qi and blood erupted, his entire body was enveloped in a divine radiance, with golden light faintly circulating!

“Vajra Realm!!!!”

“How could you, a mere Executioner, be a Vajra Realm Master!!!”

Rumble——

In the dark night, a horrified scream echoed.

The Executioner, whom he had thought could be killed with a single strike, had actually revealed Vajra Realm cultivation!

The intelligence was wrong!!!

Accompanied by a violent roar, those ghostly Qi of the shadowy entities were directly dispersed by the soaring Qi and blood, and within a radius of several hundred zhang, there was no longer any trace of chilling Qi!

With a single move, he had broken his Great Yin Soul Refining Guide!

This was simply incredible!

Who said that martial arts Masters below the Zizai Realm were helpless against Ghost Path Cultivators?

How did this person explain it?

“The Yin Soul Sect seems to be nothing more than this. It's my turn to act!”

Shen Tianxing stepped out one by one, his body's Qi and blood boiling, his entire person like a Vajra Buddha, radiating dazzling golden light!

Ghost Shadow!

With a flash of his feet, his entire person had already transformed into an invisible figure and charged out!

...At this moment!

On a nearby street, a team of black-robed figures with long swords at their waists were patrolling the Imperial City in the night.

At their waists, each wore a black jade token, with the characters 'Demon' and 'Monster' carved in small seal script, appearing and disappearing with the swaying of the token!

Demon and Monster Division!!!

They roamed the bustling markets and desolate lands during the day.

At night, they wandered in the darkness.

This small team consisted of only four people, each dressed similarly.

Only the leader, whose cloak was embroidered with golden edges, had a slender figure and moved silently, with a faint, captivating aura emanating from him.

This team from the Demon and Monster Division were all extraordinarily powerful Cultivators, all in the Vajra Realm, and their leader possessed a cultivation no less than the Eighth Level Vajra Realm!

Just then.

The leader suddenly stopped, and the others all looked towards a nearby direction.

“Did you all smell it?”

The leader spoke, a clear female voice like an oriole's song or jade beads falling onto a plate, and as she turned, a face of exquisite beauty and cold elegance was revealed under the moonlight.

“I smelled a trace of Ghostly Entity Qi.”

“I didn't expect a Ghostly Entity to dare enter the Imperial City, and it seems to have encountered an extraordinary martial arts Master.”

“What is the origin of such a martial arts Master with such abundant Qi and blood? Could it be someone from the Martial Suppression Division?”

Behind the cold and elegant woman, the three Cultivators from the Demon and Monster Division also showed excitement on their faces.

“The Imperial City has not had Demons, Monsters, or Ghostly Entities dare approach it for a long time.”

“They're truly seeking death!”

The cold and elegant woman flicked her long robe, her figure transforming into a dark shadow of light, and she leaped up.

“Which ignorant fool dares to run wild in the Imperial City? Truly courting death!”

“Hurry and follow!”

The four Cultivators from the Demon and Monster Division moved together; within the Imperial City, almost no Demon, Monster, or Ghostly Entity could escape... At the same time.

On another street, five figures were walking down the main road.

These five figures were all strong and robust, with abundant Qi and blood, and as they walked under the chilly moonlight, they were like blazing suns, dispelling all coldness.

They were dressed in tight-fitting clothes, held weapons, and their gazes, like knives, swept over the corners of the streets and alleys.

On their tight-fitting clothes, two golden ancient characters were embroidered.

Martial Suppression!

These were Cultivators from the Martial Suppression Division!

Each was at least above the Third Level Vajra Realm.

The Imperial City is a vital area, secretly patrolled by the Demon and Monster Division, and openly inspected by Cultivators from the Martial Suppression Division. The two divisions each perform their duties, suppressing all martial arts Cultivators, and Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators!

The moment Shen Tianxing's aura erupted and he clashed with the Cultivator from the Yin Soul Sect, these five Cultivators from the Martial Suppression Division noticed it.

“Within the Imperial City, at the Son of Heaven's feet, who dares to fight fiercely here?”

Martial arts are forbidden in the Imperial City. Except for those in the court, anyone who dares to act in the Imperial City will be considered to have violated the prohibition!

This is absolutely not allowed!

This is precisely the responsibility of the Martial Suppression Division.

“It's also possible it's those people from the Demon and Monster Division. Let's wait and see!”

Another person said calmly.

The Martial Suppression Division and the Demon and Monster Division both patrol under the Son of Heaven's feet. Once either party discovers a problem, even if it's not their responsibility, they must assist each other.

The group of five leaped up one after another, heading towards the street where Shen Tianxing had made his move.
