I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Yu Cheng was seen scraping the fine foam on the tea continuously, and after a long time he took a sip.

Then he picked up an account book and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that Yu Cheng had no intention of speaking, everyone present couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In the end, it was the head of the Liu family who took a step forward and spoke first.

"My Lord, you have had a very tiring journey.

I have carefully prepared a banquet to welcome you, my Lord. As a token of my respect, I hope you will step aside and honor me with your presence."

Liu Chuanyan had a fawning smile on his face and bowed respectfully.

You must know that as the head of the Liu family, he is on equal footing with the county magistrate.

But the gentleman in front of him is not comparable to the county magistrate of a small town.

Even if the prefect of Luyang Prefecture met someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau, he had to receive them with caution, for fear that he would be reported secretly for poor hospitality.

Although he was only a small demon-catching captain, he had the power to execute first and report later if his rank was below that of a seventh-rank official.

After hearing Liu's words, Yu Cheng put down the account book and smiled.

"So good!"

...

Zui Yaxuan.

In Yong'an City, if there is a place where people spend money like water, apart from the brothels and theaters, it is Zui Ya Xuan.

In order to welcome this demon-catching captain, the entire Zui Ya Xuan was booked and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

Even the waiters who served the dishes were replaced by masters from wealthy families in Yong'an City.

at the banquet.

Yu Cheng sat in the main seat, sipping his wine.

Liu Chuanyan and others were puzzled when they saw that he didn't move his chopsticks.

"My lord, but this food is not to your liking?"

Liu Chuanyan asked cautiously.

Yu Cheng sighed and said slowly: "It's not about the delicacy, I'm just upset about something."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Who is the Monster Catcher?

Ordinary minor officials would be three points shorter than them.

What else could be worrying them other than slaying demons?

Yu Cheng glanced at the silent crowd and continued.

"Recently, the monsters in Lingyun Mountain Range have become more rampant, and they often come into the world to cause trouble, causing great suffering to the people in the surrounding towns."

“So the general ordered us, the monster-hunting lieutenants, to patrol everywhere, in order to deal with these rampant monsters.

Secondly, we got news that the thousand-year-old fox demon lurking in the Lingyun Mountains seemed to be a little restless."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but change their expression.

You have to know that the peace that the entire Guizhou can have today is largely brought about by the general that Yu Cheng mentioned.

Many years ago, Guizhou was ravaged by monsters and beasts, among which the most ferocious was the thousand-year-old fox monster.

When the autumn wind comes, they will come out from the Lingyun Mountains, rob the people in the city, and take them back as food.

For a time, both officials and common people in Guizhou lived in fear every day, fearing that they would be killed by monsters.

The situation in Guizhou did not improve until Jiang Jisheng, the great demon-suppressing general, was sent from Zhenyao Capital.

In just seven years, the situation in Guizhou was completely reversed.

The monsters that were wreaking havoc at the time suffered countless casualties under Jiang Jishen's bloody suppression.

Finally, the thousand-year-old fox demon was forced to come forward in person to negotiate peace with the demon-suppressing general.

From then on, the two sides used the Lingyun Mountains as the boundary, and no one, whether human or monster, could easily cross it.

Since then, Guizhou has been at peace and the people have lived a peaceful and stable life.

General Jiang's reputation spread throughout Guizhou, and countless people regarded him as their patron saint and sang praises to him.

After hearing this, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Sir, could it be that the thousand-year-old fox demon is ready to tear off its face and attack the people of Guizhou?!"

The man's voice was trembling, full of fear and anxiety.

The people around them all had similar expressions, with fear flashing in their eyes.

Obviously, the rampage of the monsters back then left them with a deep shadow, and the fear is still deeply engraved in their minds.

Yu Cheng shook his head: "Not so fast, but it won't be long before not only your Yong'an City, but the entire Guizhou will probably not be peaceful."

As a demon-catching captain, Yu Cheng's words are naturally very credible.

For a moment, everyone's face turned pale.

If the monsters wreak havoc again, their family business will no longer be able to continue, and they will have to retreat to this small town.

By then, we will suffer huge losses.

"Even if those monsters come back, what's there to be afraid of? Don't we still have General Jiang, the monster-suppressing general, stationed in Guizhou?"

At this moment someone suddenly spoke.

When they thought of that tall figure, their originally anxious mentality recovered a little.

After all, this demon-suppressing general single-handedly swept away all the demons in Guizhou, bringing decades of peace.

But Yu Cheng changed the subject.

"The situation is different now. If the monsters were not absolutely sure, how could they easily allow the monsters under their command to cause chaos?"

"I came to Yong'an City this time to inform you of something."

When he said this, Yu Cheng's expression suddenly became very serious.

When everyone saw this, their hearts skipped a beat and they had a bad feeling.

"There have been major monster disasters in various parts of Guizhou, and the Monster Suppression Bureau is now overwhelmed and can't spare any extra manpower.

If a demon disaster occurs in a small place like Yong'an City, the higher-ups will not send anyone down unless it is a powerful demon above the Tiangang realm."

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone, including the masters of the Liu, Wu and Wang families, all changed their expressions suddenly.

"Sir, although we have some good guards in our house, it is no problem for us to deal with ruffians and hooligans and catch bandits.

Now we have to deal with those bloodthirsty monsters, we are really unable to do so."

The master of the Wu family spoke with an embarrassed expression.

Upon hearing this, the others also began to complain and tell about their own difficulties.

But Yu Cheng simply didn't listen to their nonsense, his face instantly darkened, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Just make it clear to me that I am not asking for your opinion, but informing you!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong murderous aura suddenly burst out from Yu Cheng's body, instantly blowing everyone in the hall to the ground.

The intimidated people dared not say another word and could only respond reluctantly.

Finally, the banquet ended in a heavy atmosphere.

...

After the banquet, Yu Cheng did not leave Yong'an City directly, but asked people to look for Shen Zhi's whereabouts.

At that time, he dared to fight against the Golden Mane Lion King on his own. This courage alone was enough to make Yu Cheng look at him with a higher regard.

By then, if the other party has a good foundation, it would not be impossible to recommend him to join the Demon Suppression Bureau.
