Monster, come to my bowl

At the same time, in the Demon Division of Qinghe Town.

As an organization that possesses the most powerful military force of mankind, the Demon Suppression Bureau is both a protection agency and a ruling agency for the human race; the Demon Suppression Guards are both police officers and soldiers.

The Demon Suppression Offices spread all over the country hold both military and political power.

The current second-in-command of Qinghe Town Demon Suppression Bureau is Xue Yi, a sixth-rank demon-suppression guard, who is mainly responsible for public security and exorcising demons; the first-in-command is the city lord Yao Teng, also of the sixth rank, who is responsible for governing the people and the logistics of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

At this moment, the two were arguing.

City Lord Yao Teng stood in the lobby, and complained with a red face and a righteous face: "Captain Xue, I can understand your desire to avenge your brother! But it is too much to bring all the demon-suppressing guards in the city into the Centipede Cave to exorcise the monster!"

Yao Teng is over sixty years old and has been the lord of Qinghe City for nearly twenty years. He is known for his steadiness.

But today, City Lord Yao was anxious.

However, the Xue Baichang he mentioned, that is, Xue Yi, looked cold and indifferent.

Miss Xue crossed her arms and asked casually, "It is my duty to exorcise demons. The big centipede in the Centipede Cave led a group to attack Nanshan Town, killing and injuring dozens of people. What's wrong with me leading people to exterminate them?"

"There's nothing wrong with exterminating demons, but it's wrong for you to take all the demon-suppressing guards from Qinghe City with you!" Yao Teng was so angry that he put his hands on his waist and argued: "Our Qinghe City is a small city. We only have more than a hundred demon-suppressing guards, and most of them are only at the eighth or ninth level. If you take them to the maze-like centipede cave, aren't you sending them to their deaths?"

"As a dignified demon-suppressing guard, how can you be so afraid of death?" Xue Yi retorted.

"Alas... I know you are not afraid of death, but you can't go and die in vain!" Yao Teng sighed and said earnestly: "According to the county annals, the centipede cave is not only full of twists and turns, but also unfathomable. Three hundred years ago, a fourth-rank demon-suppressing guard went in alone to explore, but in the end there was no news! Although you are extremely talented, you are only a sixth-rank cultivator now. Even if you bring a hundred or so low-level demon-suppressing guards with you, what can you do? What if something unexpected happens and the whole army is wiped out?"

"If anything goes wrong, I will be solely responsible," Xue Yi replied.

Thinking that her own brother, who had grown up with her, was now separated from her forever, she hated those iron-backed centipedes to the core and wished she could tear out their tendons, shell them and throw them into a frying pan.

"Can you afford it?" Yao Teng glared at his young and energetic deputy and continued to persuade him, "If you really want to avenge your brother and the people of Nanshan Town, I advise you to write a letter to Feng Siming first and ask him to send you a few masters to help you. Listen to me, don't act on your anger, or you will lose your life in vain."

The Feng Siming that City Lord Yao mentioned is Xue Yi's master, the second-rank demon-suppressing guard Feng Ling.

The so-called Siming is one of the official titles of the Demon-Suppression Bureau. Its status is second only to the highest Great Siming. It is a title that is at the pinnacle of power among the human race!

However, when Xue Yi heard Yao Teng reminding her to ask the master for help, her expression changed.

"Hmph!" Not only did she not listen to the advice, but she also said with resentment on her face: "Why should I beg her? I am the captain of Qinghe City. I can handle what happens here by myself!"

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Feng Siming?" Yao Teng was stunned when he heard that. He thought to himself, you stupid girl, you have a powerful backer but you don't try to please him, but instead you have a conflict with him. I'm afraid you have a problem with your brain.

"Why do you care so much?" Xue Yi rolled his eyes. He was about to continue arguing about leading the troops to the Centipede Cave when he suddenly saw a Demon-Suppressing Guard running up from the hall.

"Greetings, City Lord!" The visitor saluted Yao Teng first, then turned to Xue Yi and said, "Captain, there is news from the Xue Mansion that Cai Ji has woken up!"

"Cai Ji is awake?" Xue Yi frowned and immediately walked out quickly: "Let's go! To Nanshan Town!"

Seeing this, Yao Teng quickly warned her from behind: "Hey, don't secretly take people to the Centipede Cave! Otherwise, I will report you to the Supervisory Hall!"

"Hmph!" Xue Yi snorted coldly and walked out of the door without looking back.

……

On the other side, the Xue family.

Mr. Xue chatted with Cai Ji for half an hour and then left.

Before leaving, he took the initiative to remind Cai Ji to stay and recuperate, and not to worry about not being able to pay for room and food, as everything was free.

Cai Ji felt mixed emotions when he learned that he could eat and drink for free while staying at Xue's house.

He was happy that he had a place to stay temporarily, but he was worried that he would lose his hair!

He became bald at such a young age for no apparent reason.

Not only did he become bald, he didn't get stronger either!

Are you irritating or not?

He returned to his bed and lay down, feeling sad and recalling what happened yesterday.

In just one day, I experienced two life-and-death crises.

The first time was with those three iron-backed centipedes.

The second time, it was that giant centipede.

It nearly cost him his life.

In addition, there are some strange doubts.

I went forward to check on Xue Yi's condition, why did he faint inexplicably?

And this dizziness lasted for two months!

Also, why am I so thin?

Even his head is bald!

Could it be that someone from the Xue family was abusing me?

It shouldn’t be!

Since Xue Yi saved me, why should I let my family abuse me?

The Xue family had no grudges against him in the past or present, and the family was not short of money. Even if he lay in bed every day, it would not cost them much money.

And why did that giant centipede come to the Xue family to steal the body of the second young master Xue?

There must be something behind this!

Could it be that……

Thinking of this, Cai Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind: "Could it be that all this is related to the Holy Word Technique that Master Xue is studying?"

Squeak!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Cai Ji thought it was a maid coming in to do something, but when he looked up, he found that the person was wearing black armor!

Not only is he wearing black armor, but he also has a great appearance!

"Ms. Xue... Xue... Xue?" Cai Ji was somewhat stunned, and subconsciously muttered to himself: "So you are really not dead?"

Thinking of the female demon-suppressing guard who was obviously dead and had a green face, he still found it a little hard to believe.

"What? Manager Cai is hoping for my death?" Xue Yi walked straight to the bed with a wooden box in his hand and sat down, asking in a bad tone.

According to the feudal etiquette of this world, if a single man and a single woman sit on the same bed and chat when they meet for the first time, it will become a hot topic if it gets out.

But at this moment, Cai Ji had no time to worry about this.

"No, no, no, I just said something wrong. Miss, please don't take it to heart!" Seeing that the person coming was not friendly, he quickly began to smile and took the initiative to change the subject: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"What are you talking about?" Xue Yi patted the box in his hand, opened it casually, and squinted his eyes and said, "What a coincidence, I just wanted to ask you, what's going on?"

Cai Ji looked down and found that the box was half full of fragments.

These fragments are basically the size of soybeans, but they have clear edges and corners, and seem to be some kind of metal.

He looked at it carefully for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"You really don't know?" Guo Yi stared at him coldly.

"I don't know!" Cai Ji shook his head firmly.

"Okay! Then let me tell you! This is my..." Xue Yi suddenly raised his lips and said word by word: "Demon-killing sword!"
