As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people behind Fang Yan suddenly changed, and their indignation was evident in their words.

Young people, don't be so arrogant! It's still unclear who will win! "

An old man retorted angrily.

Before he finished speaking, others echoed him.

"Senior Du has been catching monsters all his life, so a mere poison-winged ghost bat shouldn't be easy for him to catch!"

"That's right. Besides, there are only five of you. Do you really think you can be stronger than so many of us?"

"If you are smart, you should apologize to Senior Du immediately. He might be magnanimous and not bother with you!"

The old man surnamed Du seemed a little flattered when he heard the flattery from others.

After all, he has been immersed in the business of catching monsters all his life, so he is naturally very confident when it comes to experience.

However, the five people seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter, their laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it was the thief Du who let the Iron Lion escape that year!"

The leader among them mocked mercilessly.

As soon as these words came out, the old man surnamed Du's face turned pale in an instant, and a surge of anger rushed into his heart.

It was because of this incident that he had to withdraw from the monster-catching business in Luyang Prefecture and return to Yong'an City to manage his own business.

This incident became a lifelong thorn in his side, and he still feels resentful about it today.

But he didn't expect that his scars would be exposed in public by such a group of young people. How could he not be furious?

"You youngsters, stop being so arrogant!"

The old man surnamed Du had a very ugly expression on his face at this moment, and he said with gritted teeth.

However, the five people on the opposite side were not afraid at all; their eyes were full of provocation and disdain.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became tense and seemed to be about to break out.

Fang Yan saw this and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Calm down, everyone! Calm down, everyone!"

He said nice things while standing between the two groups of people.

"Although Senior Du has retired from society, he is still well-known."

"Although the Five Absolute Demon Slayers are a rising star, their strength should not be underestimated."

"We are all family, please do me a favor and don't be angry."

However, the old man surnamed Du refused to give in and snorted coldly, with a hint of coldness and disdain in his tone.

"Do you five dare to make a bet with me? Let's see who can capture the poisonous-winged ghost bat first. The loser must kowtow three times and quit the business of catching monsters from now on."

The five men couldn't help sneering when they heard this, their eyes revealing complete contempt.

"Well, back then everyone praised you, Old Thief Du, for your extraordinary abilities. I, Five Absolute Demon Slayers, want to see how powerful you really are!"

As soon as the words "Five Supreme Beings Killing Demons" were uttered, someone immediately recognized them.

"It turns out it's them!"

Some people who were originally clamoring were now silent.

After the demon was slain in Jiazi that year, the Demon Suppression Bureau lost a lot of manpower.

With the tacit approval of the imperial court, many organizations dedicated to catching and killing monsters suddenly emerged in the martial arts world.

Although the skills of these martial artists were not up to par, they did help alleviate the embarrassing situation of the Demon Suppression Bureau being short of staff at the time.

These five people were none other than the Five Great Demon Slayers who were the most famous in the demon catching business in Luyang Prefecture.

Although they have only reached the Xiantian realm, it is said that the five of them are in perfect sync with each other and can fight against the big monsters in the Tianyuan realm when they join forces.

And it was precisely because of this that Fang Yan spared no expense in inviting them from Luyang Prefecture.

Even so, the old man surnamed Du was not afraid at all.

As they spoke, the two sides made a vow.

"Please don't be impulsive. Please give me some face and don't get angry."

Although Fang Yan said words to comfort both parties, he was already overjoyed in his heart.

This seemingly unintentional conflict was actually secretly planned by Fang Yan long ago.

The purpose is to get both of them to use all their life's knowledge to capture the poisonous-winged bat for him.

Now that I see this situation, my goal has naturally been achieved.

After both parties made an oath, they headed towards the Lingyun Mountains.

...

...

The Lingyun Mountains are tens of thousands of miles long, spanning dozens of states. They are famous for their majestic and steep mountains and for the rampant monsters.

The mountains are rolling, with peaks upon peaks, and are shrouded in clouds and mist, making them look very mysterious.

Fang Yan and his group of more than ten people were walking in the dense forest, with an old man named Du leading the team in the front.

The Five Great Demon Slayers deliberately fell behind.

"Brother, this old thief Du seems to be very confident. I wonder how capable he is?"

The fifth brother who was at the end of the line asked.

Although he had been very disdainful of them when he was in Fang Mansion before, he also knew that this old man surnamed Du had been able to make a name for himself in Luyang Mansion, and he must have his own unique skills.

If the incident of letting the Iron Lion escape had not happened, he would definitely have a place in the monster hunting business in Guizhou now.

Among the five people, the one called the eldest brother is a strong man.

He had a full beard and was wearing a tight suit, which made him look like a hero.

"Then was then, and the present is now."

"This old thief Du has been in seclusion in Yong'an City for nearly twenty years. I think only a few of his skills are left."

Although this poison-winged ghost bat is not a very powerful monster, it is very cunning.

Even the Five Great Demon Slayers could not guarantee a 100% chance of catching the enemy.

"Let's see what this old thief is capable of."

As they spoke, the five of them quickened their pace and caught up with the team.

The Lingyun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and there is no telling how many monsters and rare treasures are hidden there.

Every year, countless people take risks, but there are also countless people who never get out after entering.

As the group went deeper, a light white mist began to fill the surroundings.

The mists seemed to have life, moving through the woods, giving people a strange feeling.

"Take the miasma-avoiding pill."

Following the order from the old man surnamed Du, someone took out a medicine bottle from his arms and distributed the pills inside.

As for the five people, they were naturally ignored.

They don't care about it.

After all, when going out, basically everyone has a way to avoid poisonous miasma.

Soon, the Five Absolute Demon Slayers and their group also took their own pills.

"From now on, our bet will take effect. If it's not too late to regret now, what do you think?"

The old man surnamed Du suddenly stopped, turned around and spoke coldly to the five people.

The latter sneered, but walked straight past them, leaving only his words echoing.

"Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to find the whereabouts of the poisonous-winged ghost bat as soon as possible.

When the time comes, we won’t care about our seniors’ face when we kowtow.”

When the old man surnamed Du heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

But he did not get angry. He just snorted coldly and continued to lead the team forward.

As everyone went deeper, the white fog around them became thicker and thicker, submerging everyone's figures.
