"It is true that building a career is important, but life is more important. If you lose your life, you lose everything. As long as you are alive, you will never have to worry about having no firewood. As long as you are alive, you will naturally be able to build a career when you have a higher level of cultivation in the future."

Gu Qingfeng tried his best to retain them, but in the end he only recruited two people.

One is the fat guy who joined the team first and is very thick-skinned and not afraid of being accused of being cowardly.

The other one is a skinny guy who looks dull and like a nerd.

When Gu Qingfeng took a look at the two men, he was surprised to see that they were a fat and a thin monk!

The fat man's name is Wang Shan. As his name suggests, he looks like a mountain of meat, weighing at least 300 kilograms.

The thin guy's name is Xu Fan, and as his name suggests, he looks very ordinary.

After each team had recruited their men, Deacon Huang led everyone back to the garrison to find He Fenghua.

He Fenghua showed off his official power in front of everyone, delivered a long and meaningless speech, and then began to divide the work.

According to the rules of the Demon Suppression Bureau, every Yellow-rank demon hunter is responsible for an area and is responsible for managing demon incidents in that area.

It is very similar to the leadership responsibility system in Gu Qingfeng’s previous life.

When dividing the work, Gu Qingfeng heard Wang Shan and Fatty Wang muttering in a low voice behind him.

"God bless, God bless, please don't let it be Heishui Village, please don't let it be Heishui Village..."

Gu Qingfeng was very curious and couldn't help asking, "What happened to Blackwater Village?"

Fatty Wang was surprised: "Master Gu, you don't know this, do you?"

"I have just taken office, how would I know?"

"My Lord Gu, you may not know other things, but you must know this one thing. Lord Yang, the Xuan-level demon slayer who died some time ago, died in Blackwater Village!"

Gu Qingfeng was shocked for a moment. He knew that Lord Yang was dead. After all, if Lord Yang's army had not been wiped out, he would not have been able to become a yellow-level demon slayer.

"Didn't Lord Yang die in the Bone Forest? How did it become Blackwater Village again?"

“The Dead Bones Forest is a forest behind the Black Water Village. It was originally a mass grave, but later it grew into a forest at some point. Because dead bones can always be seen in the forest, it is called the Dead Bones Forest.

That Black Water Village is definitely a dangerous place! Lord Yang, as a Xuan-level demon slayer and a strong man in the True Qi realm, was annihilated there with four Huang-level demon slayers. You can imagine how dangerous that place is.

Master He Fenghua took over Master Yang's job and is now in charge of Yinshan County, and Heishui Village is a village under Yinshan County, so we must not be assigned to Heishui Village!"

Gu Qingfeng became more and more curious: "So many people died, but our Demon Suppression Department didn't take any action? We must have sent stronger demon slayers to eradicate the demons in Blackwater Village."

"Why didn't they send anyone? Of course they did. I heard that after Lord Yang died, our Heaven-level Exorcist Lord Li Qianren was furious and immediately sent an Earth-level Exorcist and three Mysterious-level Exorcists to Blackwater Village."

"Earth-level demon slayers have already come out, what are you still afraid of? Haven't the demons been eradicated yet?"

"The Earth-rank demon slayers have come out in person, but they have been wandering around Blackwater Village for several days and have not found any trace of the demons at all!"

At this point, Fatty Wang was horrified, and the fat on his face trembled. "It's impossible for a powerful Earth-level demon slayer to watch over a village every day, so they retreated. They also came to a conclusion that the demon who committed the crime might be a mobile demon, not a local demon, and might have already left."

"What are you afraid of if the demon is gone?"

"My Lord Gu, do you believe this kind of rhetoric to appease people?" Fatty Wang showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Demons are like dogs, they all have their own territory, and few monsters like to run around randomly, especially in places like the Dry Bone Forest where there is a lot of yin energy, and monsters really like it and definitely won't want to give it up.

In my opinion, the demon must be very intelligent. When it saw the Earth-level Exorcists coming, it hid. After they leave, the demon will definitely continue to commit crimes!"

Gu Qingfeng was puzzled: "You, a trainee demon slayer, can see this. Don't earth-level demon slayers know that the demons will continue to commit crimes? Then why don't they continue to wait?"

“Because there’s no need.”

"no need?"

"Yes, that's right. May I ask, Lord Gu, which is more important, the poor people in a village or the nobles in a city?"

Gu Qingfeng frowned and understood what Fatty Wang meant.

"Earth-rank demon slayers are there to guard a city. There are many dignitaries in the city. Once there is a demon causing trouble in the city and alarming the dignitaries, but the earth-rank demon slayer is not in the city, those dignitaries will definitely report to the court, but the people in the village will not, because they have no connections and cannot report to the emperor. Even if they die, it is easy to suppress it."

These words made Gu Qingfeng secretly shocked, because they were too realistic and true.

Even if there are no demons causing trouble in the city, and even if there are ready-made demons in Heishui Village, the Earth-rank demon hunters still choose to guard the city rather than wait in Heishui Village. After all, even if all the people in Heishui Village are wiped out, it will not affect them.

But once something happens to a high-ranking official, an impeachment for dereliction of duty is inevitable.

This was the first time that Gu Qingfeng felt the darkness of this world. He couldn't help but wonder, why was the Demon Suppression Bureau established?

Was it established to protect the common people? Or was it established by those in power to maintain their own rule?

"Master Gu, do you understand? So, we must not go to this Black Water Village. By the way, Master Gu, how is your relationship with Master He? If not, you can use your connections. Please, Master He, do not give Black Water Village to us."

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng smiled: "I have a good relationship with Lord He, he will definitely take special care of me."

Gu Qingfeng specially emphasized the word "take care of".

Fatty Wang didn't seem to hear it, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, it seems that choosing to be your subordinate is a wise choice."

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said nothing.

However, his mind became active. A demon that could kill a Xuan-level demon slayer must be very powerful, definitely stronger than the ones in the first level of the Demon Suppression Prison.

And given the relationship between me and Lord He, this kind of good thing will definitely happen to me. It's perfect.

At this time, the division of labor finally fell to Gu Qingfeng.

He Fenghua said calmly, "Gu Qingfeng, from now on, Blackwater Village will be in your charge."

Gu Qingfeng looked at He Fenghua with sarcasm in his eyes, then looked at his colleagues around him who looked gloating, and smiled silently.

It’s settled!

Fatty Wang standing by looked as pale as if he had lost his parents.

"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu, didn't you say...that you have a good relationship with Mr. He?"
