At the Jinyiwei station, Xue Cheng looked at the relevant files in his hand with a frown.
Several files were preserved with vermilion lacquer and beeswax, and were obviously documents with a high level of confidentiality.
However, they have all been opened by Xue Cheng at this moment, and several documents are placed together. The titles of some of the documents are quite eye-catching.
The underground demon in Jianyi.
Yaodu Iron Heart Divine Fist kills the demon.
King Kong Slays the Mountain King in Wuyi Mountains.
The Yangtze River sword in Jiujiang County killed the crocodile dragon.
…
"Demons are appearing more and more frequently nowadays. Is this a blessing or a curse?"
Xue Cheng shook his head. It had only been a few months, and hundreds, or even more, of demons had been killed in Jiujiang County alone.
It is really worrying. When a country is about to perish, there will be evil spirits. But now, there is not just one evil spirit, but evil spirits everywhere.
Although he was worried, Xue Cheng didn't say anything and waited quietly for the general flag in front of him to make a report.
"Captain, this is only the information from the Jinyiwei regarding the gathering of demons. The information exchanged with the Six Gates hasn't been submitted yet, but I think it won't be much different. I've already asked my colleagues, and the demons they killed weren't solitary, but mostly lived in groups..."
"Your speculation is very likely correct. There is an organization hidden in the darkness that is raising demons and constantly accumulating strength in secret. Whether it is Jianyi, Yaodu, or Jiujiang County, there are such demon gathering places..."
Xue Cheng's eyes flashed.
"Are you saying that someone wants to rebuild the Demon City?"
"It's just a guess. Rebuilding the Demon City at this scale is absolutely impossible."
The general who was in charge of the report said in a decisive tone.
Before the establishment of Daxia, the Demon Capital was a city in this land. The various countries were fighting each other, and the power of demons was the strongest. The Demon Kingdom was once established.
In the past, the demons fed on human blood and once ruled the earth.
At the same time, it was also because of this that the concept of the human race was formed, and the demon race was completely separated.
At the beginning of its founding, Daxia fought against demons to the death, chasing the demons to the point where they had no way to go up to the sky or enter the earth.
At that time, there were basically no demons on the land of Daxia. The powerful demon saints were either sealed or killed directly. The demon clan was leaderless, and the human race truly stepped onto the stage of this world.
Today's demons are thriving again and seem to be everywhere, but in fact they are far from the state they were in before. They have just been hurt before, so the Jinyiwei are a little wary.
Xue Cheng was reading the files alone inside, but he was actually still thinking about what happened yesterday.
"Then why did the Iron-Faced Man accept Yang You as his disciple? He paved the way for Yang You and allowed him to integrate into the Six Gates. Was he trying to drive a nail into the Six Gates and allow Yang You to occupy a high position in the future?"
Neither yesterday's demonic body nor today's files could move Xue Cheng. Instead, it was Yang You who moved Xue Cheng.
Therefore, the demon he killed yesterday was a greater achievement than his promotion to Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, that was the work of a chivalrous knight, and the court would often only give him verbal rewards and would not let him hold a position in the court.
What's more, the person yesterday was mysterious and didn't reveal many traces, so such a great achievement was just floating there in vain and there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
What really concerned him was that Yang You was actually able to learn martial arts from that person. Although he had come into contact with the Iron-masked Man many times, he had only received some pointers.
He had made many great contributions, but had not yet received any real instruction from the Iron-Faced Man. For a moment, he felt a little jealous.
"Huh, I wonder what this person is planning."
Xue Cheng inexplicably thought of the Emperor's Sword, and felt pressured.
"Is he paving the way for some prince?"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Six Gates were both extremely powerful departments with tentacles reaching all over the world. If a prince could get the support of the people in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Six Gates, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to him and would most likely help him to the throne.
But if you get caught in such a battle between heaven and dragon, you will be doomed if you are not careful, and even your family may be destroyed.
If possible, Xue Cheng was not willing to enter such a vortex.
"But many times you don't have the choice!"
Xue Cheng sighed in his heart.
His family only had a certain amount of influence and power in Jiangnan West Road. It cost a lot to push him to the position of a few centurions. It would be quite difficult to move up further.
If you want to become a thousand households in the future, or even go to a higher level.
Basically, you can only rely on personal efforts, but to reach such a status and realm, you can't rely on personal efforts at all. Without a great background and tremendous achievements, don't even think about it.
"I hope I'm overthinking it!"
Xue Cheng sighed heavily. If he was asked to give up and just be a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard from then on, he would be extremely unwilling to do so.

When I was in Jianyi, I didn’t feel much after staying there for many years. It was only after I came to Jiujiang County that I realized how prosperous the world was.
The abundance of oil and water, the development of shipping, and the prosperity of trade here are simply rare.
He sat quietly in his seat, earning a terrifying amount of money every day. Moreover, he didn't need to do anything messy with this income, as long as he enforced the law impartially.
There is no shortage of resources for daily practice, and after capturing Blood Knife, the family even sent a master-level figure to give him careful guidance and cultivate his martial arts. There are also special people to teach him how to be an official.
