58: Give the Demon Slayers a long vacation
Zhao Chuan Yuan's expression of surprise grew even more pronounced upon hearing this.
He scrutinized the young man before him with a suspicious gaze, clearly disbelieving him by a good nine-tenths.
In his eyes, this was merely a callow youth.
How could Yan Hong possibly mistake him for an Immortal?
Could it be that he had absorbed too much Power Of Will while cultivating the Dao of the Gods, and it had made him foolish?
Furthermore, what kind of person could be called an Immortal?
At the very least, one would need to be on the level of the Martial Temple Old Ancestor to be considered an Immortal.
This person, on the other hand, looked more like a Jianghu Daoist swindler.
"Brother Yan, is what you said true? Did you really deal with that old Demon King in Qing Province?" the dark-skinned man beside him couldn't help but confirm again.
Yan Hong nodded, then shook his head.
"I told you, it wasn't me, it was this little Immortal behind me!"
The dark-skinned man, who was Liu Kun, the Demon Quelling General of Yi Province, immediately looked at Song Ming with curious eyes.
"I just heard you say outside that there are two Demon Kings in Yi Province, is that true?"
Song Ming stared intently at the dark-skinned man, asking directly.
He didn't care in the slightest what the people here thought of him.
That wasn't important.
He only cared about where the demons were.
Then he would turn them all into his own experience.
That was enough.
"How could it be false? However, the two Demon Kings entrenched in Yi Province are each considerably stronger than that demon wolf in Qing Province. Are you sure you can handle them?"
Liu Kun said with a hint of doubt.
Song Ming smiled calmly.
Stronger?
That was excellent.
The Level 40 Howling Moon Wolf King had provided him with nearly 100,000 experience points.
The two great demons in Yi Province looked like they were even higher level.
They would provide even more experience.
He definitely wouldn't make a trip for nothing.
From the main seat, Zhao Chuan Yuan couldn't help but speak, "Which School are you from, and why do you want to help our Da Qian Dynasty slay demons?
People from those Schools all avoid them, so why do you insist on stepping forward? What's your reason?"
Song Ming glanced at Zhao Chuan Yuan strangely.
Then he said, "Reason? There's no reason. If I said slaying demons is a hobby of mine, would that count as a reason?"
As soon as he spoke.
Everyone's faces twitched involuntarily.
They looked at the young man with renewed astonishment.
In the Da Qian Dynasty, people's attitude towards demons was to stay as far away as possible.
But no one had ever said.
That they were very interested in slaying demons.
And even developed it into a hobby.
Was this hobby a little too unconventional!
Zhao Chuan Yuan was clearly stunned by Song Ming's words and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Song Ming continued, "Not only the demon problem in Yi Province, but if other provinces are the same, please inform me of all relevant demon intelligence!"
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva upon hearing this.
Looking at this young man, he didn't seem to be joking.
Did he really know how many demons were causing trouble in the Da Qian Dynasty right now?
Is it possible for you alone?
Zhao Chuan Yuan also narrowed his eyes and said to Song Ming very seriously, "Are you serious? Do you know how many demons are causing trouble within the Da Qian Dynasty?
Just speaking of the bear demon in Yi Province, the army alone can no longer deal with it. Liu Kun and the Yi Province General combined can't even defeat half of the bear demon, and many martial arts masters have become food in that bear demon's mouth.
There are at least three other provinces with demons, each of them no weaker than the bear demon. The wolf king you killed was the weakest among them.
Do you know all this that I'm telling you?"
What?
Song Ming could hardly believe his ears.
Every great demon outside of Qing Province was stronger than the Howling Moon Wolf King?
Such good news!
His purpose in slaying demons within the Da Qian Dynasty was simply to complete quests.
And to gain experience from killing monsters.
To be honest, Song Ming didn't even want to bother killing monsters below Level 40.
The returns were simply too low.
But what Zhao Chuan Yuan said made his heart leap with joy.
"Good, good, good. Since that's the case, let's stop with the nonsense. Give me the specific intelligence and the Da Qian map, and I'll give your Demon Slayer Division a long holiday!"
Song Ming directly interrupted Zhao Chuan Yuan's lengthy discourse.
He only wanted to fight BOSS-level monsters.
He wasn't interested in dealing with ordinary small monsters.
The Demon Suppression Pass Secret Realm, as a Level 50 super-large dungeon.
Even in the real world.
The strongest BOSS would probably be no more than Level 70.
A Level 70 Professional, at most, would likely not have more than a million HP.
Then look at his skill damage.
Ten million!
So, even those BOSS-level monsters were no different from a blade of grass in front of him.
What kind of demon are you, who cares!
Zhao Chuan Yuan glanced at Yan Hong, who stood still like a wooden man, and reluctantly swallowed the rest of his words.
Then he said to the yamen runner waiting beside him:
"Go, bring up the demon intelligence dossiers reported by the Generals of Song Province, Ping Province, and Gan Province, and also get him a map of the six southern provinces of Da Qian!"
Soon.
Dossiers were presented one by one.
Zhao Chuan Yuan then unrolled the map of the six southern provinces.
Because the southern part of the Da Qian Dynasty was adjacent to the demon-occupied ruins, the demon unrest was mostly concentrated in the south.
He pointed to the three provinces among the six southern provinces while briefly explaining the demon situation within those three provinces.
Song Ming waited for him to finish, then grabbed all the dossiers along with the map and put them into his embrace.
"There's no time to lose, let's set off now!"
As soon as he picked up the map, a detailed map panel appeared before his eyes.
At the center of the map, there was a golden circle.
Representing his current location.
There were also many red circle markers on the map, which represented the locations of the great demons within the Da Qian Dynasty!
It was quite convenient!
Song Ming closed the panel and turned to walk outside.
Everyone in the hall stared blankly at his retreating figure, momentarily lost in thought.
They too had once been so high-spirited, until the demons broke their backs.
And they could never stand tall again!
"What are you still standing there for?"
Song Ming walked out of the Demon Slayer Division yamen, stopped, and looked at Liu Kun.
Liu Kun then seemed to awaken from a dream, suppressing his inner excitement, and stumbled out.
"I... I'll have someone prepare horses immediately, and we'll rush to Yi Province as quickly as possible!"
He followed behind Song Ming and said.
Song Ming, however, shook his head, "No need for such trouble, and even an exotic demon horse would be too slow for me!"
"Ah? Then what should we do?" Liu Kun asked, puzzled.
Song Ming directly cast a Divine Speed Magic Ring on himself.
After he had changed his class to Myriad Laws Celestial Master, the duration of the Divine Speed Magic Ring had directly doubled, and his speed had increased by 30%.
Song Ming estimated his actual speed to be at least half the speed of sound.
Even flying demons probably couldn't match his speed with the Divine Speed Magic Ring buff.
After the 2-second cooldown passed, Song Ming cast another one on Liu Kun.
Then, grabbing his shoulder, he rushed towards Yi Province.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhao Chuan Yuan was dumbfounded, while Yan Hong was unfazed.
Since he was already an Immortal, it was perfectly reasonable for him to run faster!
He turned to Zhao Chuan Yuan and said, "Although Song Ming is setting off to slay demons now, the due credit should still be rewarded. I propose directly appointing Song Ming as the Da Qian Demon Quelling General. Does the Inspector object?"
Zhao Chuan Yuan slowly closed his wide-open mouth and gave Yan Hong a deep look.
"Hmph, if he can kill all the demons in Da Qian, what harm is there in giving him my position!"
"Good, haha, you said it!" Yan Hong laughed heartily.
Meng Li, who had been hesitant to speak, also let out two dry laughs, then he seemed to suddenly realize something.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he stared blankly outside the yamen.
"No, Song Ming... did he forget something?"
Zhang Xinhua: "..."
