Demon-killing Enlightenment

Mu Yang carried Yang Jiao on his back and walked quickly through the busy streets. His Fang Tian Hua Ji hit pedestrians from time to time, causing them to scream in pain.

Finally, after walking for a long time, Ding Yi and Mu Yang arrived at the clinic.

After a quick checkup on Yang Jiao, the staff at the clinic realized that resentment had entered her body and the situation was serious, so they arranged for her to be treated immediately.

Mu Yang and Ding Yi finally felt relieved.

Ding Yi saw that Mu Yang's clothes were shabby and his face was thin, and he felt a little sorry for him. The treatment would definitely not be over in a short time, so he took Mu Yang to a nearby place to eat something simple, and then took him to take a shower.

There was a noodle shop not far from the clinic, and Ding Yi took Mu Yang to eat noodles.

Mu Yang hadn't eaten proper food for more than two months, and he wolfed down the noodles.

Seeing that Mu Yang was very relaxed, Ding Yi took the opportunity to speak, "Liu Yang, this... that knife, I guess it won't come back. The high positions in the military camp are all people with prominent backgrounds and considerable strength. You're new here, so don't make things complicated."

Mu Yang ate noodles without stopping. He also knew that he was unfamiliar with the place near Nanguan. He couldn't make enemies casually, which would be detrimental to his future development.

Ding Yi was secretly happy when he saw that Mu Yang did not refute.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Ding Yi said, "What are your plans next? Go look for your relatives? The clinic charges a lot, and your sister's condition is very critical."

Mu Yang shook his head and continued eating noodles.

Ding Yi was a little confused. This Liu Yang had said before that he came to Nanguan to seek refuge with his relatives, but now he was shaking his head. What was he up to?

After eating two bowls of noodles, Mu Yang felt alive again.

Seeing Ding Yi looking at him kindly, Mu Yang also knew that this kind-hearted officer was not in a high position and his influence was not influential, so saving him was already his best effort.

Mu Yang bowed and said, "Brother Ding, we are very grateful for your help. Don't blame Brother Ding for the knife issue. I will handle it myself in the future."

Ding Yi was happy to see Mu Yang was so reasonable and poured him a cup of tea.

A low-level, mid-quality dagger is considered a treasure by every sect. Even in the military camp, only a very small number of powerful people can own it.

Mu Yang continued, "Brother Ding, our relative is also a small businessman near Nanguan. We are not in a hurry to find him. Do you have any advice on how to make a living?"

Ding Yi was in a good mood and laughed, "Brother Liu, you are too polite. There are many ways out near Nanguan. Come on, I will take you to wash, and we will talk slowly."

It was only at this time that Mu Yang realized that he was covered in dirt and his clothes were torn. The smell was probably very disturbing. He smiled awkwardly and followed Ding Yi.

A bathhouse somewhere near Nanguan.

"Brother Liu, there are endless ways out near South Gate. What do you know?" Ding Yi asked Mu Yang while leaning comfortably on the recliner.

Mu Yang also felt comfortable, both physically and mentally relaxed.

When Ding Yi asked, he answered, "I only know how to kill demons. In our company, I am a member of the Demon Slayer Team."

Ding Yi was too comfortable, and when Mu Yang reminded him, he remembered that he had seen Mu Yang kill a ghost last night. He immediately became energetic, "Brother Liu, I saw how brave you were last night, so it will be easier to deal with it."

Ding Yi sat up excitedly and introduced himself to Mu Yang.

"Our Nanli Dynasty's strength is everything. Near the South Pass, the army is growing stronger and there are many sects. With your current Qi realm strength, you are very suitable to go anywhere."

Mu Yang said, "Brother Ding, I am still in the Qi realm."

Ding Yi stared at Mu Yang with eyes wide open, "You are at the Qi Awakening Realm? Then your halberd skills are really amazing."

"That's even easier. A talented person like you will be successful wherever you go." Ding Yi continued.

"First of all, the military of the Nanli Dynasty is directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. Usually, they just guard or mediate conflicts between sects. They live a comfortable life and earn a lot of money."

Mu Yang listened but didn't express his opinion. This military officer came and snatched his knife away. He didn't have a good impression.

Ding Yi continued to introduce, "Then there are sects like the Three Palaces, Three Gates, Two Mansions and Four Gangs."

Mu Yang became interested after listening to the sect.

Ding Yi continued, "These three halls are easy to explain. They are the branches of the three strongest sects of the Nanli Dynasty, Lingzong, Fanyin Valley, and Guitu Shengjiao, near the South Gate."

"Three sects, two mansions, and four gangs are local sects near Nanguan. The Blood Knife Sect, the Iron Sword Sect, and the Silver Spear Sect. The Ding Mansion and the Xue Mansion. The Ghost Slaughtering Gang, the Ghost Exterminating Gang, the Soul Killing Gang, and the Soul Killing Gang."

Hearing this easy-to-understand name of the local sect, Mu Yang was speechless for a moment.

Ding Yi was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that Mu Yang was trying to hold back his laughter because of these names. He explained, "Well, this sect near Nanguan is martial, and the ancestors of the sect are all rough men, so the names they gave were a bit rough. After thousands of years of use, the descendants have continued to pass them down."

Mu Yang expressed his understanding and did not respond.

"This Lingzong is the most powerful sect in the Nanli Dynasty. They are full of masters and have a lot of say in the court. There are also many disciples of Lingzong in the army."

"Fanyin Valley is relatively secluded and rarely participates in sect and military affairs. There is only one temple near the South Gate."

"The Ghost Slaughter Holy Sect is the most ostentatious one. They have branch temples in cities of some size in the Nanli Dynasty, and they recruit disciples on a large scale. Their relationship with the Spiritual Sect is very bad. The Holy Sect branch temple near Nanguan is also the largest of the three major sects, and has the most disciples."

"The Blood Blade Sect, Iron Sword Sect, and Silver Spear Sect are old sects near Nanguan. There are many families with thousands of years of heritage in them. Their foundation near Nanguan is very solid."

"The patriarchs of the Ding and Xue families are both from military backgrounds, and most of their family members work in military camps. I am from the Ding family." Ding Yi spoke the truth without reservation.

"The Ghost Extermination Gang, the Ghost Slaughter Gang, the Soul Killing Gang, and the Soul Slaying Gang are gangs that have experienced ups and downs, but have shown signs of rising again in recent decades."

Ding Yi introduced Mu Yang to all the mainstream sects near Nanguan in one breath.

Mu Yang also had a general understanding of it, and this was much more complicated than the forces in Yangcheng.

"The military offers good conditions, but it's hard to get promoted. In addition to strength, you also need a good background."

"The sect is much better, strength is what matters." Ding Yi said his suggestion.

Mu Yang thought that he had too many secrets and no matter what choice he made it would be unsafe.

After thinking for a while, Mu Yang asked Ding Yi, "Brother Ding, is there any way to make money without joining a faction?"

Ding Yi was a little surprised, but he could expect it. Liu Yang had just arrived and was too unfamiliar with the South Pass, so he might as well observe it first.

"Yeah, there is. Being a ghost hunter is very free." Ding Yi said.

Mu Yang immediately became interested and asked Ding Yi to explain it in detail.

"Ghost Hunters are an organization formed by people who have not joined the military and are unwilling to be affiliated with any sect. There are also many disciples from other cities who come here to gain experience as Ghost Hunters."

"Ghost hunters need to be recommended by local forces near Nanguan, simply register, and follow the missions sent by the major sects."

"After registering and obtaining the ghost jade, you will become a ghost hunter."

As he spoke, Ding Yi took out a jade pendant from his waist. The jade pendant was slightly yellow in color, and inlaid with four white, orange, yellow and red gemstones.
