Two years have passed quietly since Zhouyou pacified the Ten Thousand Snake Cave stronghold in Ningshui City.
In the past two years, Zhou You single-handedly suppressed countless demons in Tianshui Mansion, making the people live and work in peace and contentment and live a stable life.
Tianshui Fucheng.
A hidden figure slowly walked in.
This man has a majestic appearance, with bright eyes, a long knife on his waist, and a large black bow on his back. He exudes a bloody aura.
It was Zhou You who went out to slay demons and came back.
After two years of continuous fighting against demons, not only did his face become more resolute and mature, but the blood-evil aura in his body was so strong that it could not be concealed at all. The people on the road avoided him at first glance when they saw him.
One child was even scared to tears by him. He stood stupidly in the middle of the street, blocking Zhou You's path, and kept crying.
The people around him looked at the child with pity.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the child is ignorant!"
The child's adult quickly ran out, holding the child while begging for mercy.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the man exuding a bloody aura just shook his head, chose to bypass the little boy, and left without saying a word.
His steps seemed slow, but in fact he was extremely fast, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in less than a moment.
"The desire to kill in my heart... is too heavy..."
"Even the desire to seal the demon can no longer be suppressed..."
Zhou You murmured.
The Demon-Sealing Sword Sutra was originally a terrifying sword technique that relied on cutting into the Tao and using demonic thoughts as its nourishment.
But in the past two years, Zhou You has hardly had a day off. He has been fighting monsters and monsters every day, and the murderous thoughts in his heart have long been strong enough to turn into reality.
If it hadn't been for the demon-sealing intention to restrain him, the bloody aura he exuded would have probably scared the entire street to death just now.
"We must find a way to curb the murderous thoughts in our hearts..." Zhou You pondered in his heart.
If he continues to accumulate murderous thoughts like this, he may even be unable to control his desire to seal off demons.
Once it breaks out... even Zhou You doesn't know what the consequences will be.
Because the creator of the Demon-Sealing Sword Sutra may not have thought that there would be someone like Zhou You who accumulated such exaggerated killing intent.
Just walked into Chu Mansion.
Zhao Changkong hurried over.
"The Demon Slayer and Demon Suppressor wrote in person."
Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly. In the nearly three years since he had been in Tianshui Mansion, this was the first time Yang Xiong had sent him information through letters.
When I took it over and looked at it, I frowned slightly.
"You ask everyone to come over for a meeting." Zhou You said calmly.
"Yes!" Zhao Changkong knew that something must have happened, so he did not dare to neglect and took the order to retreat.
After a while, the eleven demon slayers who stayed in the Chu Mansion came to the hall.
Due to Zhou You's presence, most of the dangerous demon slaying tasks were completed by him alone. As a result, the sacrifice rate of demon slayers in Tianshui Mansion in the past two years became the lowest in the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Department.
Because manpower is gradually becoming more abundant.
Zhou You took a look and found that the seat on the left was still empty, and sighed slightly in his heart.
This is Lu Yu's position.
This demon slayer died at the hands of a black bear demon half a year ago.
After Zhou You learned about it at that time, he went to great lengths to hunt down the black bear monster, even chasing it to Tianlin Mansion before killing it to inform Lu Yu of his spirit in heaven.
"I just received a letter from the Demon Suppressor, ordering me to return to the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Department and no longer be in charge of the Demon Suppression Stronghold in Tianshui Mansion."
Zhou You said calmly.
As soon as the news came out, it exploded in the hearts of all demon slayers like a bomb.
"Demon Slayer...what's going on?"
"So sudden?"
"Without your suppression, I'm afraid those evil spirits will become rampant again..."
Many demon slayers looked stunned.
They are used to the existence of wandering around, because with this demon slayer around, it seems that all demons and ghosts will not be his opponent.
Now that I suddenly heard that Zhou You was leaving, I naturally couldn't accept it.
"Everyone, the Demon Slayer Division will never fail because of who leaves... Even without the Demon Suppressor, the Huangzhou Demon Slayer Division will still operate normally, let alone me?" Zhou You said in a deep voice.
From the reactions of these demon slayers, he saw something bad.
It seems that some of these demon slayers rely too much on themselves.
After hearing the news that I was leaving, I became overwhelmed.
This is a bad sign.
Suddenly, Zhou You understood why Yang Xiong transferred him.
"The Demon Slayer is right. Everyone relies too much on the Demon Slayer. His departure may be a good thing for you." Zhao Changkong agreed.
"I will officially go to Huangzhou Mansion tomorrow, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
After Zhou said this, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Only Zhao Changkong remained.
"Old Zhao, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. From now on, these brothers will depend on you." Zhou You patted Zhao Changkong on the shoulder.
"In the past, Lu Yu and I shared the burden, but now I'm the only one left..." Zhao Changkong sighed.
Zhou You shook his head slightly and said no more.
His departure has become a fact. In addition to notifying the demon slayer immediately, he also came to the government office later.
Xu Yu, wearing a black headhunter uniform, hurried out to welcome him.
But the right arm is empty.
The Huangzhou Demon Slayer Department agreed to Xu Yu's application and made him officially the head catcher of Tianshui Mansion.
Zhou You took him to a wine shop.
"These days, I heard that you, the head catcher, have done a good job and solved many major cases." Zhou You joked.
"The demon slayer is joking, I can't do this even a ten thousandth of as well as you."
Xu Yu smiled bitterly.
"Don't belittle yourself so much. Originally, I felt sorry for you to leave the Demon Slayer Department, but judging from the current situation, it seems to be pretty good." Zhou You smiled.
"Actually, I still miss those days of slaying demons and slaying demons..." Xu Yu's eyes showed a look of longing.
"I'm leaving... Now Zhao Changkong is the only one left in Tianshui Mansion. The pressure is too great. I want you to go back and help him." Zhou You said the purpose of his visit.
When Xu Yu heard the news, she didn't recover for a long time, and finally took a deep breath: "I understand!"
He chose to be a head catcher in order to inherit the last wish of the head catcher and protect the safety of the people.
But Xu Yu also knew in his heart that once there was a problem with the Demon Slayer, the people would naturally not be at peace.
"I wonder if Fang Zhongzheng will be so angry that he vomits three liters of blood when he hears me poaching him?" Zhou You laughed.
"Demon Slayer, I offer you this glass of wine."
Xu Yu picked up the wine glass with a respectful expression and drank it in one gulp.
Others may not know what Zhou You has been doing in the past two years, but he knows it clearly.
This demon slayer is either slaying demons or slaying demons, and he never stops.
The current peace of Tianshui Mansion was almost caused by him.
