The next day!
As usual, Lin Xuan went out and ate a big bowl of plain noodles at a stall at the alley entrance before heading straight to the Demon Suppression Division's headquarters.
By the time he arrived at the Demon Suppression Division, his appointment had already been issued.
It really is the Yunshan mining area.
Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face. It seemed that Song Yingxing was reliable enough, and hadn't taken the money and failed to deliver.
"You must be Lin Xuan!"
A demon-slaying captain walked over, squinted at Lin Xuan, and said, "I am your superior, Qiu Huaitao."
In one hour, we will depart for the Yunshan mining area. Do you have anything else to do? Go and do it...
"Captain Qiu, I am all alone and have nothing to do."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, calmly observing Qiu Huaitao before him.
My direct supervisor seems to be difficult to get along with.
From the moment I met him, he had a cold expression, his indifference revealing a hint of aloofness.
He's clearly not someone easy to talk to.
It didn't matter; his goal was to go to the Yunshan mining area, and what his superiors were like was irrelevant.
Anyway, once he enters the Yunshan mining area, he will find a way to enter the Taichu Dao Palace. At that time, he won't have much of an entanglement with this person, and whether he gets along well or not is none of his business.
"I don't care about any of that. Meet at the main gate in an hour."
Qiu Huaitao glanced at Lin Xuan, then turned and left.
Lin Xuan didn't care. He pursed his lips slightly, said nothing more, and went straight to the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Then he found a quiet and cool place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate in seclusion.
An hour passed quickly.
When Lin Xuan came out of his cultivation state, a lot of people had already gathered at the main entrance.
Basically, they were all newly recruited demon-slaying guards.
They gathered in twos and threes, chatting idly. Judging from their excited expressions, you'd think they were on vacation.
"We've gotten lucky this time. It's better to be stationed at the Yunshan mining area than to fight demons."
"That's right. Although there are ferocious beasts in the mine, overall it's still quite safe. I've heard that things aren't very peaceful outside right now."
The battle against the demons was fierce, resulting in heavy casualties!
"The position of guarding the Yunshan mining area is highly sought after in the Demon Suppression Division. We are indeed very lucky."
......
Many people are discussing it.
The sound was quite loud; even without deliberately inquiring, Lin Xuan could hear it clearly.
His expression was calm, but after his gaze swept over everyone, a faint unease crept into his heart.
More than one hundred people.
And they were all newcomers.
This is somewhat abnormal. Logically speaking, the Yunshan mining area is guarded by the Demon Slayer Guards year-round, and it is currently the middle of the month, not the day for the rotation of guards.
The fact that a team of 100 people went there at once shows that the Yunshan mining area is severely short of manpower!
What's the reason?
Wasn't it said that things were very stable over there?
Why add so many people all at once? Is this an expansion or a replacement?
Regardless of the reason, Lin Xuan felt something was wrong; something must have happened at the Yunshan mining area.
"Damn it, did I get tricked by that bastard Song Yingxing?!"
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
"quiet......"
Just then, a deep voice came from behind.
A demon-slaying captain approached; it was Qiu Huaitao. His gaze was icy cold, sweeping over everyone before he coldly ordered, "Everyone assemble, form five rows..."
The hundreds of newly recruited demon-slaying guards immediately fell silent.
No one dared to utter a word, and they formed a square according to Qiu Huaitao's requirements.
There are twenty people in each row, and five rows in total.
It was exactly a brigade of 100 people.
"I won't waste any more time. We'll be setting off for the Yunshan Mining Area soon. Once we're out of the city, I have only one request: obedience..."
Qiu Huaitao said coldly, "Do whatever I tell you to do, and don't waste any time."
If there's anything you can't do, step forward now.
The scene was deathly silent.
No one spoke.
"Since no one has stepped forward, it means you all agree to my demands. In that case, let's set off now..."
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one came out, Qiu Huaitao's expression softened slightly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a palm-sized warship model rose up in the wind.
In an instant, it transformed into a warship that was 100 meters long and 10 to 20 meters wide, hovering in mid-air.
The warship was entirely bronze, with various mysterious runes appearing on its surface.
It contains powerful energy.
Profound and weathered.
"Holy crap, this is a Flying Cloud Boat, the symbol of our Great Zhou Demon Suppression Division. Only those of the rank of Captain or above are qualified to receive one. Our Captain seems to be someone of great importance!"
A mere captain, yet he possesses a flying cloud boat.
"Although the Flying Cloud Boat is only a high-grade Star-level artifact, it is a space-type flying magical artifact, making it as precious as a top-grade Star-level artifact!"
"With the Flying Cloud Boat, we can travel 100,000 li a day and reach the Yunshan Mining Area in a single day."
"I heard that Captain Qiu was transferred from the Demon Division of Wangcheng Town."
......
Many people looked at the warships in the sky and discussed them excitedly, their eyes shining with envy.
Lin Xuan was also envious.
This thing is a space-type flying artifact; in later generations, it would be considered a strategic resource.
"If I had one of these flying cloud boats, traveling would be so much easier in the future."
Lin Xuan thought to himself, "It's a pity that I can't bring back the things from the ancient era to the present day. Otherwise, I would definitely find a way to get a batch back."
