Chapter 932 Demon Slaying in Dai County, Bear Wears a Kasaya
With a whoosh, Ye Kang was completely awakened from his reverie.
The Dawnbreaker Divine Spear has reached the minor completion stage, greatly increasing its combat power.
With all preparations complete, he didn't bother to ask Ke Yuanzhou for further advice and immediately withdrew from the Ink Jade Realm.
A moment later, he arrived at the Demon Suppression Division's training ground.
Currently, half of the inspectors are on standby at headquarters, so they are assembling very quickly, and the training ground is already full of ambitious people.
Ye Kang flew over slowly, donning the Xuanfeng Armor and picking up the Demon-Slaying Blade.
This was the first time he had ever been so formal.
Everyone looked at him with burning eyes, eager to follow this general and achieve great things.
Ye Kang naturally did not disappoint them. He said calmly, "Gentlemen, just now, two more Nirvana-level demons invaded Feng County. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. Blindly backing down will only make more demons think that the Three Prefectures are incompetent. They can run rampant in Luoyan Prefecture, turning all of us humans into their offerings. Do you accept such an outcome?"
"Don't accept it!"
Without a doubt, everyone spoke at the same time, their soaring anger resounding throughout the entire headquarters of the Three Offices.
Ye Kang smiled and nodded: "Very good, then let them know who really calls the shots in Luoyan Prefecture."
After Ye Kang finished speaking, he looked at Kuang Zheng.
The latter, acting as the clerk, had naturally prepared in advance and loudly proclaimed: "By order of the General, the demons of Dai County are rampant and tyrannical, enslaving the people, and their crimes are unforgivable. Today, all colleagues of the Demon Suppression Division will follow the General to vanquish the demons of Dai County!"
"Slay the demon! Slay the demon! Slay the demon!"
The resounding declaration showcased the lofty aspirations of the inspectors and demon-suppressing officials, and was also an expression of their frustration at being suppressed by demons and unable to resist.
In Luoyan Prefecture, it has been a long time since anyone has been so passionate.
Ye Kang nodded in satisfaction, then immediately drew his Demon-Slaying Blade and pointed it forward: "Let's go!"
"Here!"
Led by their commanders, everyone flew out in unison, heading towards Daixian County.
After everyone had set off, Ye Kang did not move. Instead, he looked at the side of the training ground where a person also wearing armor was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Kang smiled and said, "General Liu, why don't you come forward for a chat?"
Indeed, the visitor was none other than General Liu Zilong, the Inspector General.
This general's mood has been like a rollercoaster lately, going up and down.
First, Ye Kang displayed absolute strength as soon as he arrived, then the Zhenshui General Temple appeared out of nowhere, and a few days later, Ye Kang actually passed away!
The series of events happened so quickly that he is still in a daze.
Today, upon hearing that Ye Kang was going to Feng County to subdue demons, his first reaction was that it was outrageous. How could such an important matter not be discussed?
But then he realized that Ye Kang had already reached the Returning to Truth Realm, so it seemed that he really didn't need to discuss anything with him, a general in the Nirvana Realm.
Therefore, his expression was full of helplessness and complexity.
Upon hearing Ye Kang's greeting, he naturally flew over immediately, cupped his hands, and said, "General Ye, I apologize for taking the liberty of coming to observe you inspect your subordinates."
Liu Zilong's attitude became very respectful. If they weren't colleagues, he probably would have called him "senior".
Ye Kang didn't mind and waved his hand, saying, "General Liu, what are you saying? We're all family, why apologize?"
"General Ye is a magnanimous man with such lofty ambitions that I am ashamed. It's just a pity that I am not a member of the Demon Suppression Division and cannot accompany General Ye to vanquish demons..."
"Does it matter? The three prefectures are one entity, why be so clear about them? General Liu might as well go together, which would also serve as an oversight of the Demon Suppression Division."
"What! This isn't a good idea..." Liu Zilong blinked, feeling both surprised and somewhat tempted.
After all, as a martial artist of the Wu Dynasty, he hadn't had the chance to slay demons and monsters to his heart's content in a long time.
He was eager to go since he finally had the chance.
"General Liu, do you feel it's inappropriate for you to go alone? You can bring your colleagues from the Censorate along to provide support from behind."
"Is the general truly telling the truth?"
Liu Zilong felt a little guilty.
On the one hand, if they could successfully vanquish the demon, it would be a great achievement. Without the Surveillance Department, their Demon Suppression Department would have taken all the credit.
On the other hand, if it attracts those ancient monsters who have returned to their true forms and causes even greater consequences, no one can bear the responsibility.
Ye Kang knew Liu Zilong's concerns and didn't try to persuade him further. He simply said, "Some things are just missing a trigger. Doesn't the general want to see a day when demons no longer cause trouble in Luoyan Prefecture?"
Having said that, he ignored Liu Zilong's expression and flew away.
The latter stood still, as if touched by something. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and transmitted his voice: "All commanders of the Surveillance Department, follow me!"
In the end, Liu Zilong followed, bringing only six commanders and two lieutenants with him, which was already the highest combat force of the Surveillance Department.
It wasn't just because of Ye Kang's words, but also because General Luo had said the same thing to him before.
Next time Ye Kang makes a move, I can go and get involved too.
He kept those words in mind; he trusted General Luo.
Half a day later, the experts from both departments successfully crossed the Feng County and entered the Dai County area.
As soon as they got close, the intense demonic aura made everyone's faces turn ashen.
Unlike Fengxian, which was at least predominantly inhabited by humans and also under the jurisdiction of the Three Prefectures.
However, starting from Daixian County, the area was completely ruled by those wild gods and their licentious worship.
The demons displayed their auras without restraint, as if they considered themselves the masters of this place.
The number of people in Dai County was no less than that in other counties, not because the demons treated humans well, but simply because they needed these humans to provide incense offerings.
Therefore, the demons even tried every means to force people to have children, because the more children they had, the more incense they would receive.
Whether so many humans are doing well or not is completely outside their scope of consideration.
Ye Kangfei was at the forefront, making no attempt to conceal his presence, and headed straight for the nearest brothel.
It was a large temple built on the mountainside, which housed a goat demon with a goat's head and a human body.
The people, dressed in rags and with faces ashen, still rushed to offer their prayers.
The reason is simple: as long as you worship, nothing will happen; but if anyone stops worshiping, evil spirits will immediately come and slaughter the village.
Along the way, there were no fewer than ten village ruins destroyed as a result.
After the destruction, the wild god hidden behind the scenes stepped forward and drove away the evil spirits.
In such a situation, who would dare not offer sincere worship?
Despite having heard rumors beforehand, Ye Kang's face remained grim upon witnessing the scene firsthand.
Wang Xun and Yan Wenduan clenched their fists, their anger palpable.
"Damn demon! How dare you be so audacious!"
"General, I volunteer! Let's destroy these wicked rituals!"
Ye Kang shook his head.
"The wild god here is quite powerful. Your task is to deal with the wild god's minions and at the same time appease the people."
"My lord, do you wish to take action personally?"
“If we don’t use drastic measures, the demons won’t be afraid. This is necessary.”
Ye Kang spoke calmly, and at the same time, the system voice sounded.
【Ding】
[Mission Issued: Clear out the wild spirits of Daixian County]
[Task Reward: 6000000 Comprehension Points]
Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the system rewards increased as his cultivation level rose.
There's nothing more to say then; we must wipe out all the wild gods in Dai County today!
His aura suddenly surged, and his figure swiftly flew to the sky above the Goat Temple.
With his true nature fully activated, he only needed to think to instantly transport the innocent people in front of the temple to safety.
He then spoke, saying, "Demon, I will give you three breaths. If you do not come out, the temple will not survive."
The extremely cold voice echoed all around, and at this moment, the people from the Demon Suppression Division arrived and evacuated all the people.
The common people stood there dumbfounded, still not understanding what had happened.
"Are those the officials from the Three Offices?"
Some knowledgeable villagers murmured softly, unable to believe what they were seeing.
When did the officials from the Three Prefectures dare to come to Dai County?
Three breaths passed, and nothing happened.
The wild goat god didn't even appear; its very presence vanished without a trace.
That's for sure. That goat demon is only at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm, and he's hoping to become a Demon Saint through these offerings.
Suddenly a human martial artist at the Returning to Truth Realm appears, and one who is so ferocious, who wouldn't run away?
He only regretted not having two more legs so he could run faster.
But since Ye Kang has arrived, everything was already destined. How could a mere demon emperor possibly escape?
As the goat demon was running wildly, it suddenly stopped and fell straight down.
He turned his head in astonishment and saw that countless transparent spider silks had already wrapped around his feet.
The goat demon was also a ruthless demon. Without hesitation, he used his demonic energy to sever his own legs.
But then, more spider silk surged in from all directions, completely controlling his body.
The goat demon was utterly desperate and could only shout, "I surrender!"
"late."
A voice that filled him with despair rang out, and countless sword energies flashed by, turning his body and his demonic soul into fragments.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Kang reduced the goat demon's corpse to just its head. He then placed the enormous goat head in front of the temple.
The sheep's head was several times larger than the entire temple, but it was now covered in blood, and its eyes were filled with fear of death.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
The entire group of colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division were dumbfounded.
Before they even realized the existence of the wild god, he had already been killed by his own master.
This is too fast!
Is this the strength of a True Immortal?
The villagers, on the other hand, appeared even more bewildered, with a hint of fear mixed in.
The sheep god they worshipped is dead!
What should we do next?
Seemingly aware of their concerns, Ye Kang turned and declared loudly, "From this moment on, there will be no more demons in Dai County, and these wild gods will no longer need to be worshipped. I am Ye Kang, the Demon Suppression General of the Demon Suppression Division, and I keep my word."
The villagers were still somewhat bewildered, but many of them were already beaming with joy and exclaimed, "Thank you, Lord Ye!"
Ye Kang, naturally, seized the opportunity and, through the true meaning of Brahma, quietly planted the faith of the Water-Suppressing General in the hearts of some people.
They will become leaders, leading others to worship the Water-Suppressing General.
At least, they worship themselves because they believe they can truly manifest and protect them from danger.
Ye Kang did not interfere further, but simply let the demon-suppressing officials handle the aftermath. The goat demon also left behind quite a few demon subordinates, and these guys needed to be dealt with by the inspectors.
Ye Kang simply flew to a nearby mountain, sat down, and waited quietly.
Sure enough, a furious voice rang in his ears shortly afterward.
"Human, what do you intend to do!"
Ye Kang suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
With the activation of his Boundless Azure Eyes, he seemed to pierce through all obstacles in his path, his gaze landing on a bear dressed in a kasaya.
The bear demon was meditating in a temple, his robe radiating Buddhist light, and he did indeed resemble a Buddha.
Unfortunately, no amount of Buddha statues could mask the strong stench of blood in the air.
This was the real target Ye Kang had been waiting for. The mere goat demon was nothing more than a minor demon who could only cause trouble on the border.
The true ruler of Daixian is this bear, a demon saint.
Ye Kang gave a cold laugh and replied, "Not bad, where did you get it?"
The bear demon frowned, then said with considerable pride, "It is due to my profound Buddhist nature, bestowed upon me by a master."
"Is that so? So you are also a member of the Buddhist order?"
Upon hearing this, the bear demon immediately revealed a compassionate expression.
"You must be the newly arrived Demon Suppression General, right? General Luo may not have had a chance to tell you yet, but in Luoyan Prefecture, my Dharma name is something you absolutely need to know."
"May I ask for the Master's Buddhist name?"
“This humble monk is Hui’an. Dai County is where I taught Buddhism. The young general has caused enough trouble, and you have killed several of my disciples. It is time for you to return. Considering that you are new here, I will not pursue the matter further.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang grinned and said, "So, I should thank the master?"
"Benefactor, do not make a mistake." The bear demon's tone suddenly turned cold.
If Ye Kang hadn't been at the Returning to Truth Realm, he would have slapped him to death long ago. He wouldn't mind letting the fate of the previous Demon Suppression General repeat itself.
However, Ye Kang was not intimidated by his threat at all. Instead, he stood up and his aura rose.
"Whether you're a demon or a master, this place belongs to Luoyan Prefecture, which is the territory of the Wu Dynasty. Now that I've come, there's no reason for me to leave."
"Are you really looking for death? You've only just entered the True Realm, yet you're so arrogant... Well done, well done. Since you don't understand Buddhist teachings, then this humble monk has some martial arts skills, so I'll let you experience them."
The bear demon seemed to stand up helplessly. Its enormous bear body blotted out the sky, and its monstrous phantom was terrifying.
Ye Kang had already arrived in front of the bear demon in an instant, and unleashed all of his Myriad Transformations Sword Qi without hesitation.
The Blooming Flowers Formation rose up immediately, making the bear demon sense something was wrong.
"Is this kid really a newcomer to the Returning to Truth Realm?"
The cultivation systems of demon saints and martial artists are different. However, when compared, the cultivation level of the bear demon is roughly equivalent to the Yang Chu realm of a martial artist.
That's why he didn't take Ye Kang seriously, but at this moment, he felt a rare pang of fear.
Before he could react, the Blooming Flowers Formation unleashed its power instantly, the sword formation carrying boundless sword energy, and smashed straight towards him.
