Chapter 39

Among the three major guards in Ping'an Town, Wang Hongbo is the oldest, Zhang Beixuan is the most talented, but Chen Qinggang is known for his abilities.

Although his strength is at the bottom among the three, he is still in charge of all matters within the Demon Control Department.

In addition to being responsible for managing and training demon-slaying guards, he is also in charge of the work of demon sealing masters, jailers, pharmacists and other non-combatants.

When Lord Zhensi is away, he is usually in charge of the overall situation.

That's why I kept him here when I went to Pingjiang City to report on my duties.

From top to bottom of the Demon Control Department, everyone has the most contact with Chen Qinggang and has the deepest feelings.

Even for a low-key demon-sealing master like Zhou Dao, Chen Qinggang could call him out by name, which shows how deeply he works at the grassroots level.

It can be said that Chen Qinggang is a rare management talent.

It is precisely because of his efforts that the elderly Wang Hongbo can still sit firmly in the position of the capital guard without too much pressure, and Zhang Beixuan can also have more time and energy to practice.

Now, Chen Qinggang is dead.

This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, causing a stir in the Demon Control Department.

"Dead!?" Zhou Dao was in a daze. When we met yesterday, he was still a living person, but he was actually dead?

That was a master of the Seventh Transformation of the Refining Realm [Shattering Thunder], and the Demon Control Division was out in force, besieging and hunting him, how could he die?

What kind of monster did you encounter?

Zhou Dao felt a little sad inexplicably. To be honest, Chen Qinggang was a generous man, never had the airs of a guard, and was very popular in the department.

Although he didn't have much contact with Chen Qinggang, the few times he met, the other party was like a kind elder, speaking kindly to him, and even planned to set him as a work model in the company this year and report it to Pingjiang City. There might be another one by then.

A substantial bonus.

Such a good man was gone before he even had time to do the last good deed.

Zhou Dao felt a little uncomfortable, he was a very emotional person.

In an instant, the entire Demon Control Division was in a state of excitement, and everyone rushed out to ask for details.

"Damn, he's not dead!" After a while, Wang Xiaoyi came back, cursing.

"That idiot couldn't speak clearly. Lord Duwei was just seriously injured and almost died."

"..."

"This idiot is not afraid of being beaten to death!" Zhao Guangming said speechlessly.

Given Chen Qinggang's popularity within the company, casually spreading such rumors is simply a crazy temptation on the edge of life and death.

"It's already being repaired." Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but said.

"Did your mother put her brain in her belly when she gave birth to you?"

At this moment, a clear voice came, with a hint of anger.

Zhou Dao's heart moved and he heard it. It was Wang Qingwan's voice.

Wang Qingwan is the captain of the Ninth Guard. She is not weak in strength. She has the fifth level of refining realm [Driving Talisman and Transforming Evil]. Her beauty and figure are also top-notch. She and Gu Xiangling are regarded as twins.

It is said that she herself is an orphan, and Chen Qinggang is both his master and his adoptive father.

When the news first came back, Wang Qingwan almost fainted, but when she heard that it was a misinformation, she was furious.

A beauty like this can't help but use foul language, which shows that she has a lot of anger in her chest.

If the person who conveyed the wrong message was not a person, Wang Qingwan would have passed by with a talisman.

"There are quite a few idiots among the Demon Slayer Guards!" Zhou Dao curled his lips and couldn't help but say.

Dang Dang Dang...

At this moment, the bell rang loudly, resounding throughout the Demon Control Division.

Wang Qingwan led the demon-killing guards to Xishan, and even the demon-sealing masters and pharmacists on duty were transferred by her.

"What are we going to do?" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help complaining.

It makes sense for pharmacists to go to the front line. After all, when hunting monsters, casualties are inevitable. This is when they are needed.

The work of the demon sealing master can be completed within the company. All you need to do is send someone to transport the demons back.

Those demon-slaying guards just took it upon themselves to do it.

"There are not enough manpower. Sometimes when chasing monsters, they don't have time to deal with the beheaded corpses..."

Everyone followed the team and whispered.

Zhou Dao didn't care. Many of the monsters sent back these days were incomplete and could not be sacrificed to the ancestor. It was really a waste.

At this time, it might as well go to the front line to make amends if necessary. Anyway, those demon-slaying guards are responsible for destroying demons. He can just follow behind and pick up the ready-made ones.

"I heard that the person who seriously injured Chen Duwei this time was a crow demon. He has a very advanced level of cultivation and is about to reach the evil level."

There were whispers from the front.

Zhou Dao's heart moved.

The crow demon is a very special monster.

It is recorded in the "Work Manual of the Demon Control Department" that crows like to eat carrion. If they swallow the flesh and blood of cultivators, they will easily turn into monsters, and the body will be filled with dead energy, which will inevitably lead to disaster.

Crows mostly live in mass graves and feed on carrion. If they eat the flesh and blood of religious people, they will easily turn into monsters.

Once transformed into a demon, the dead energy accumulates in the body, making it difficult to detect.

With such ability, the crow demon is extremely good at lurking in secret, sneaking up on masters, and using them as supplies to drag back to the cave and enjoy slowly.

"Last time, Mr. Yuan asked me if someone wanted to order a batch of black demon feathers recently..." Zhou Dao's heart moved.

[Crow Demon Feather] is a special demon treasure made from the feathers of the crow demon.

It is said that when Taoist priests made elixirs in the past, they would grind a small piece into powder and add it to the medicinal herbs, which can extend the shelf life of the elixir and is more commonly used than preservatives.

After a person dies, if a [Black Demon Feather] is placed on the body, it can ensure that the body will not rot for twenty years.

Therefore, many wealthy squires hope to be buried with [Black Demon Feather] after death.

However, there is a drawback to using this kind of treasure to be buried with you, that is, future generations are prone to give birth to female-like male voices. That is, the female doll's voice is particularly rough, like a boy's.

Of course, this is an industry secret and is generally not told to customers.

After entering Xishan, Wang Qingwan ordered a team of five people to search all over the place. If anything unusual was found, he would immediately send a warning.

This is a special communication method of the Monster Control Division. When a monster is discovered, the waist plate in the hand is activated, and the waist plates of everyone within a radius of thirty miles will react with a red light as a warning.

"We are all on our own now, sit down and wait." Zhou Dao stretched and sat down against the big tree.

"Brother Dao, what are you waiting for?" Wang Xiaoyi asked.

"Wait until get off work!" Zhou Dao curled his lips and said.

With such a small monthly salary, it is natural that they will not contribute much to the work, so you can't just ask them to risk their lives for just a few taels of silver.

"Brother Dao, this place is not safe, we should get closer to those demon-slaying guards!" Wang Xiaoyi thought inwardly.

Along the way, he heard that the crow demon had been besieged in the Western Mountains, and even Zhang Beixuan had arrived and had a fight with him.

But the crow demon was extremely cunning and allowed her to escape.

"Don't worry, the Demon-Slaying Guards have set up a dragnet and there's no way they can escape." Zhou Dao said casually.

"What if...we run into each other?" Wang Xiaoyi was a little frightened. The incident at the old house in Nancheng had scared him out of his wits.

"How can it be so unlucky!" Zhou Dao glanced at him and said.

Xishan is so big, and the Demon-Slaying Guards were spread out like a net. The crow demon couldn't fly with its wings, so how could they possibly encounter it.

Huhuhu...

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing the mountains and forests, and a strange smell rose into the sky.

"Hahaha, what good luck, there is a gap here!" At this moment, a burst of sinister laughter sounded in everyone's ears.

Wang Xiaoyi turned pale and fell to his knees with a thud.
