81: Demon Suppressor

The Earth-Rank Demon Cave has fallen!

That means the entire Cangzhou City will be in peril.

Dongfeng Town is only about six hundred li from Cangzhou City.

With these demons marching day and night, it probably won't take more than a day and a night for them to sweep through.

Lei Family Fortress is still relatively close to Cangzhou City.

Wang Fusheng, who was usually laid-back, now had a solemn look in his eyes.

The sudden change made Jiang Chen a bit unaccustomed, but it was clear that this matter was much more serious than he had imagined.

Also, the token in Wang Fusheng's hand was very similar to the Black Yamen's token.

When Jiang Chen was playing with Lord Chu's token, he had clearly seen a token belonging to the Black Yamen.

"Jiang Chen, this time... it's a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself!"

Wang Fusheng looked at Jiang Chen, a flicker of hope in his eyes.

If Jiang Chen could reach that position one day, perhaps he could help him get that item!

"Slaying demons and devils is our duty, Lord, just give the orders!"

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said.

After all, in Jiang Chen's opinion, as long as he slayed these demons, his cultivation would rapidly improve.

Being able to go to the battlefield and slay demons was naturally something he eagerly sought.

"Everyone knows that the Black Yamen has the Demon Slayer Guard, but they don't know that the Black Yamen also has another department, called the Demon Suppressing Envoy!"

"Theoretically, the Demon Slayer Guard are all experts who Cultivate Spiritual Qi and temper their Physical Body. And among the Demon Suppressing Envoy, most are Soul Cultivators!"

Wang Fusheng said.

"Soul Cultivator?"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise. After witnessing the white fox's illusion Spell, Jiang Chen also realized that if these demons were skilled in Divine Soul Spells, the combat power they formed would be terrifying. So, within the Great Lan Dynasty, there might be organizations specifically to deal with them.

Clearly, that was the Demon Suppressing Envoy Wang Fusheng spoke of.

"Demon Suppressing Envoy? Could it be those who refine Demon Suppression Talismans?"

Jiang Chen asked.

The last time the Wu Mao Mountain Demon Cave was Sealed, he was the one who threw in the Demon Suppression Talisman.

At the time, he marveled at how powerful and effective the Demon Suppression Talisman was.

"That's right."

"Every Demon Suppressing Envoy is an extremely valuable asset to the Dynasty."

"Although in terms of official rank, everyone is on the same level, in reality, the status of a Demon Suppressing Envoy is a notch higher."

"And unless the situation is extremely dire, they generally don't need to go to the front lines."

Wang Fusheng explained to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected such a distinction within the Black Yamen.

No wonder the token in Wang Fusheng's hand looked very similar to one produced by the Black Yamen, yet it wasn't a counterfeit.

"The Demon Suppressing Envoy are similar to the Demon Slayer Guard; Banner Officers and above can directly recruit subordinates. However, the Demon Slayer Guard can only recruit one, while the Demon Suppressing Envoy can designate three people."

"I was injured years ago, which is why I retired. I originally planned to live out my old age in Dongfeng Town, but I didn't expect to meet such a promising talent as you."

"Jiang Chen, are you willing to join my Demon Suppressing Envoy?"

Wang Fusheng's gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen.

He had originally thought of seeing if Jiang Chen had any talent in the Divine Soul aspect and focusing on cultivating him.

But after some observation, he discovered that Jiang Chen's innate Divine Power alone was already terrifying.

So there was no need for him to Cultivate him; recruiting Jiang Chen now was actually a huge advantage for him.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then quickly dimmed.

Whether it was joining the Demon Slayer Guard or the Demon Suppressing Envoy, both involved slaying demons, which made no difference to Jiang Chen.

In fact, even as an External Guard, he could go and slay demons.

But the problem lay in intelligence!

If you foolishly ran around alone, by the time you arrived, either the demons would have already been Sealed, or they would have all scattered. How long would it take to hunt them down one by one?

The higher the position, the more intelligence.

He could even delve deeper into the front lines.

While this might not be a good thing in the eyes of some high-ranking officials, Jiang Chen was happy about it.

Joining the Demon Suppressing Envoy was also a good thing for Jiang Chen, but he had already agreed to Chu Yun before.

As if seeing the difficulty in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Wang Fusheng continued.

"Are you perhaps worried that you previously agreed to Lord Chu's assignment, and now it's awkward for you to agree to me?"

Wang Fusheng's eyes narrowed.

From the time Jiang Chen and Chu Yun returned from Wu Mao Mountain, how could an experienced person like him not see through such a small scheme?

Jiang Chen also gave a light cough.

"Ahem, Lord, don't misunderstand... it's just that I already agreed to Lord Chu beforehand."

"Alright, alright, no need to explain."

"You don't have to worry about this. The main reason I want you to join the Demon Suppressing Envoy is that you don't have a formal identity yet. On the battlefield, even if you make achievements, your military merits might be stolen."

"With this layer of protection, no one will dare to touch your merits."

"After the mission ends, you can take your merits and directly join Chu Yun's team, and you might even be promoted to a position higher than Chu Yun's..."

Wang Fusheng said.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened, not expecting Wang Fusheng to have such a plan.

"Thank you for your care, Lord!"

"Of course, on the other hand, I do have selfish motives."

"If you become the Deputy Commander in the future, please do me a small favor."

Jiang Chen didn't reject this when he heard it.

After all, from the very beginning, Wang Fusheng had given him many opportunities, later even looking out for him and giving him a Profound Rank archery skill. Even if he saw his potential, there were absolutely not many people who would do so.

So Jiang Chen was also very grateful to Wang Fusheng.

"Lord, you speak too highly. If there's anything I can help with, just command."

Jiang Chen said, cupping his fists.

"Heh heh, I knew long ago you were a loyal person, there's no rush now."

"I have already modified the mark on the token. With this token, you are one of my Demon Suppressing Envoy."

"You must quickly head to the Qingyun Mountain Range, Dongyun Ridge defense line."

Originally, the front line was compressed deep within the Qingyun Mountain Range.

But the foremost front line had already been breached.

Reaching Dongyun Ridge was already the second line of defense, and even within this defense range, many demons had escaped, but at least the main force could be intercepted.

If Dongyun Ridge and other second defense lines were breached, then the entire Cangzhou City would suffer disaster.

"Yes, Lord!"

Jiang Chen solemnly accepted the Demon Suppressing Envoy token.

It felt cool to the touch.

And it seemed to fit perfectly, with a sense of recognizing its master.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise immediately.

"Heh heh, this is the method of the Demon Suppressing Envoy. There is a Formation on the token that can engrave your Qi. Besides you, anyone else holding the token will feel as if they are holding a burning iron."

"How amazing."

Jiang Chen exclaimed, this could also be considered a very advanced anti-counterfeiting method.

Wang Fusheng then reached into his sleeve.

He threw a Jade Slip to Jiang Chen.

"Take this."

"Inside is my summary of insights into Divine Soul Cultivation."

"In addition, there is a Soul Cultivator martial art called Soul Extinguishing Great Handprint."

"It's roughly a High Grade Profound Rank."

"If you can Cultivate it to an introductory level, you will have a certain degree of self-preservation against Soul Cultivator experts."
