Just after Lin Xuan left, several figures flew over and stopped in the middle of the fight between Lin Xuan and the demon.

There were three people in total.

Two were demon-slaying guards from the Demon Suppression Division, and the other was a young scholar.

The three arrived almost simultaneously, and exchanged glances.

The young scholar suddenly chuckled: "Such a strong demonic aura, hehe... Demons have actually infiltrated the Great Wilderness City."

The Demon Suppression Division is indeed powerful…

"Hmph... Shen Jingmo, you don't need to be sarcastic. Evil spirits have infiltrated the Great Wilderness City. We will investigate them ourselves. You don't need to worry about it."

One of the demon-slaying guards sneered: "As for you, it seems the Niu family has quite a close relationship with you!"

Sacrificing to demons, haha... that's a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

If I were you, I should be thinking carefully about how to handle this situation!

“That’s right. Everyone in the entire Great Wilderness Prefecture knows that you, Shen Jingmo, and the eldest daughter of the Niu family are childhood sweethearts. You, the Niu family’s prospective son-in-law, are in for a lot of trouble now.”

Another demon-slaying guard sneered.

"You...you all..."

The young scholar's face turned ashen with anger. He pointed at the two men and sneered, "I, Shen Jingmo, have done nothing wrong and have nothing to fear about being implicated."

Furthermore, whether the Niu family worships demons or gods is not something you can decide.

It's your Demon Suppression Division that's been getting into trouble lately.

You actually let the demons plot against you, and over a hundred demon-slaying guards died. You guys are really something.

I'm waiting to see you make a fool of yourselves...

With that, the young scholar waved his hand and turned to leave.

The two demon-slaying guards' expressions darkened simultaneously; the young scholar Shen Jingmo's words had struck a nerve.

The Demon Suppression Bureau has suffered repeated defeats, and now demons have infiltrated the city.

If it cannot be found quickly, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Send a message back and have someone bring the Heavenly Mechanism. We must find this demon," a demon-slaying guard said coldly.

"Alright, you stay here and guard the place. I'll go back myself."

The other person immediately nodded, without hesitation, and turned to disappear into the night.

At the end of the alley.

Inside an unassuming courtyard.

Lin Xuan had already returned to his original appearance, sitting cross-legged on the bed, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, covering the surroundings.

They heard the conversation between the two demon-slaying guards and the young scholar Shen Jingmo very clearly.

His brows furrowed immediately.

"I've heard that the Demon Suppression Division has a rare treasure called the Heavenly Mechanism Instrument, which is incredibly effective at tracking demons. I imagine it will be just as effective against demons."

only!

"If that sorcerer is really found, will it expose my information?"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "But it doesn't matter if I'm exposed. I disguised myself and changed my appearance before, so no one knows it's me."

However, the fighting place is too close to my residence, which poses a risk of exposure.

However, if handled carefully and properly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But we can't let our guard down. It seems we need to find a way to keep an eye on this matter in the next few days..."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan flipped his right hand, and a stone talisman appeared out of thin air in his palm.

It was the access token of the Primordial Dao Palace inside Niu Zhenshan's spatial ring.

The stone talisman was ancient and simple. Lin Xuan examined it for a long time, but apart from the unusual flower pattern, he couldn't really see anything different about it.

He wouldn't give up.

He then used his ability to observe qi to investigate further.

He was immediately shocked.

This tiny stone talisman actually contained terrifying fortune, as if it were about to materialize.

"Damn, this thing is really something else. No wonder it's a pass for entering and leaving the Primordial Dao Palace. It carries the fortune of the Primordial Dao Palace!"

Lin Xuan clicked his tongue in surprise, his pupils shrinking to a point: "No, the Primordial Dao Palace has already been destroyed. Logically speaking, its fortune should have dissipated long ago."

But why...?

Could it be that the Primordial Dao Palace was not destroyed...?

The thought popped into Lin Xuan's mind, and he immediately began to let his imagination run wild.

The night wind howled.

The Great Wilderness City is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight. First, the Niu family was nearly wiped out, and then it seems that demons have infiltrated the city.

The entire Demon Suppression Division was mobilized to search the entire city.

They even deployed the celestial divination instrument.

You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.

They didn't find any demons, but they did find no fewer than a hundred demons, many of whom were actually hiding among the powerful families of the Great Wilderness City.

Or to be more precise, these sorcerers are themselves members of these powerful and influential families.

He sided with demons and became a demon.

This caused an uproar throughout the entire Great Wilderness City.

Chaos ensued.

The Demon Suppression Bureau is arresting people everywhere, causing widespread panic in the Great Wilderness City.

Lin Xuan, however, was not affected. For three days in a row, he wandered around the streets as if nothing had happened.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

In fact, Lin Xuan was investigating the progress of the Demon Suppression Division. His stroll on the streets was merely a cover, while he was looking for a suitable opportunity to use the Nightmare Technique on the Demon Suppression Division's Demon-Slaying Guards.

Investigate the situation.

Fortunately, three days passed and no one came knocking.

Lin Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether that sorcerer was caught or not, at least he was safe, and the Demon Suppression Division did not suspect him.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Three days later.

Lin Xuan left home early in the morning. He did not go directly to the Demon Suppression Bureau prison, but went to Zuixianju and spent one hundred taels to buy a jar of Zuixian wine.

This is a very famous wine from the Great Wilderness City.

It's for Li Yunfei.

He hasn't officially joined the Demon Slayer Guard yet, so Li Yunfei still needs to appease him.
