Gu Qingfeng was ecstatic, but before he could even sigh in emotion, he felt an extremely powerful force suddenly surge out from deep within his body. The force filled his entire body, and he couldn't help but want to roar to the sky.

"ah!"

Gu Qingfeng roared wildly.

He exerted his whole body's strength and unleashed it in an instant.

Suddenly, the vines and branches that tied him to his body broke and flew away, and the prison was filled with the remains of vines and branches.

The locust tree demon looked at Gu Qingfeng with horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Cool!"

Gu Qingfeng shouted, eager to vent the surging power in his body, but there were only him and the locust tree demon in the cell.

So he could only look at the locust tree demon with a fiery gaze and a sinister smile.

"You...you...don't come over here!" The locust tree demon shouted with a bad feeling.

"Go ahead and scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out." Gu Qingfeng grinned.

......

An hour later.

An old man with a bruised face and nose had countless vines extending from his body, and he was giving a young man a full body massage very carefully.

It was the locust tree demon and Gu Qingfeng.

After an hour of criticism and education, the locust tree demon has completely turned over a new leaf.

While massaging, he was still telling the unfinished story.

"So, the reason why you were able to transform from an ordinary locust tree into a demon was because of that spiritual weapon?" Gu Qingfeng asked casually.

The bruised and battered locust tree demon replied cautiously, "Yes, Master. There happened to be a wood-attributed spiritual weapon buried underground where I was planted. I was nourished by that spiritual weapon day and night, so I was able to transform."

"What kind of spiritual weapon is that? How could it be so powerful? I'm afraid it's at least a Xuan-level spiritual weapon?" Gu Qingfeng asked in surprise.

Spiritual weapons refer to powerful weapons with spirituality.

It is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow.

"Master, you have a keen eye. That spiritual weapon is called the Wood King Sword. A hundred years ago, it was a top-grade Earth-level spiritual weapon. But the weapon seems to have been damaged. Its spiritual power has been lost over the past hundred years, and its grade has now dropped to the lower-grade Mysterious-level."

"Haha, I'm afraid it's more than just damaged. In the past hundred years, you must have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy in order to transform. That's why the grade of the Wood King Sword has dropped so much."

"The master has a keen eye."

"Okay, stop flattering me. Where is the Wood King Sword hidden?"

"When the demon slayers from the Demon Suppression Department came to capture me, I knew I was no match for them, so I hid the Wood King Sword in an extremely secluded place. I am the only one in the world who has hidden this place..."

Bang!

Gu Qingfeng slapped him in the face.

"I hate it when people beat around the bush with me. Let's get to the point."

"Yes, yes, master, the Wood King Sword is hidden under the mountain temple on the back mountain of Zhangjia Village, Ji County." The locust tree demon said tremblingly.

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? You have to be beaten to feel good, what a jerk. Stop pressing, I'm in a hurry to get to the next store, I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, Master, take care. Welcome to visit us next time."

The locust tree demon hurriedly trotted to open the prison door, then bowed and asked for permission, watching Gu Qingfeng walk out.

Gu Qingfeng patted his butt and left.

He looked at the time and cursed inwardly, "Fuck, it's all because of this locust tree demon who talks too much nonsense and takes so long to tell a story. He's also thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It's been so long since we've been delayed. It's almost dawn now. It's too late to go to the next room now. I guess it's time to change shifts halfway through."

Gu Qingfeng thought helplessly and could only give up.

He didn't want to have a friendly exchange with the demon when Zhang Zheng suddenly came in.

So he could only go back to the little corpse's cell to rest for a while and wait for the shift change.

"Corpse, loosen up your muscles for me. I don't want a loli. Change her into a mature woman and put on professional clothes. Yes, yes, that's it."

But after a moment, Gu Qingfeng suddenly stood up.

Seeing this, the corpse who was massaging was so scared that he immediately squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, thinking that he had pressed too hard and angered Gu Qingfeng.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingfeng said, "No, I always feel like something is missing."

He glanced at his surroundings and realized what was missing.

The cell conditions were so bad that they looked very depressing.

"You wait here first, I'll be back soon."

Having said that, Gu Qingfeng left.

After an incense stick of time, Gu Qingfeng came back, holding a lifeless eye demon in his hand, with blood still oozing from its big eyeball.

The corpse was stunned, not knowing why Gu Qingfeng brought another demon.

Gu Qingfeng suddenly slapped the Eye Demon.

"Quick, follow my instructions just now and set up the illusion for me."

The Eye Demon did as he was told with grievance.

A beam of blood light shot out from the big blood-red eyeballs, and when the blood light dissipated, the corpse's cell had changed drastically!

It has become extremely modern, with hot springs, bathtubs, coffee tables, steam rooms, marble floors, bright chandeliers, and a luxurious big bed.

Gu Qingfeng was delighted: "That's it! Perfect. I feel the urge to buy a membership card now.

Come on, little corpse, continue."

…

Half an hour later, Gu Qingfeng reluctantly left the little corpse's cell.

Because Zhang Zheng came to take over the shift.

Zhang Zheng, who came this time, had a very excited look on his face.

"Hey, why are you so happy today? Did you step on dog poop when you went out?" Gu Qingfeng teased.

Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes at Gu Qingfeng, then said excitedly: "Something big has happened in the Demon Suppression Division this time."

"What happened?" Gu Qingfeng suddenly became interested.

"I just heard the news that a few days ago, the Xuan-level demon slayer Lord Yang led a team to the Dry Bone Forest to slay demons and exorcise monsters, but the whole army was wiped out."

"The entire army was wiped out?" Gu Qingfeng gave Zhang Zheng a strange look.

"Why are you so excited when the whole army is wiped out? Are there any of your enemies among them?"

"No, think about it, our Wutong County Demon Suppression Division branch has always been fully staffed. This time, four Yellow-rank Demon Slayers and one Mysterious-rank Demon Slayer died at once, leaving a lot of vacancies!"

Forehead……

Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood why Zhang Zheng was so happy.

In the workplace, there are countless people who are waiting for their boss to retire or die on the spot so that they can get promoted!

"Hey, wait, even if there is a vacant Yellow-rank Demon Slayer spot, what does that have to do with you? If I remember correctly, you are only at the fourth level of Qi Gathering now, right? It's not your turn anyway?" Gu Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

"I know it's not my turn." Zhang Zheng said unhappily.

"Only warriors at the Inner Energy Realm can be appointed as Yellow Rank Exorcists. Four of our trainee Exorcists have already reached the Inner Energy Realm, but unfortunately there has been no vacancy for the position and they have yet to be promoted.

Four yellow-rank demon slayers died this time, and these four were the happiest, as they were directly promoted to regular employees on the spot.

There is one vacancy left.”

"Wait, didn't four Yellow-rank Demon Slayers die? You have five vacancies now."

Zhang Zheng looked at Gu Qingfeng as if he was a fool.

"Also, Lord Yang, the Xuan-level demon slayer, has died. A Xuan-level demon slayer position has been vacated, and naturally there will be a Huang-level demon slayer to take it, so there are a total of five Huang-level vacancies."

Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood.

"What about the remaining vacancy? All the trainee demon slayers in the Inner Qi realm have been promoted to full-time positions."

"What to do? Of course, we have to have a duel! There are only four apprentice exorcists in the Inner Qi Realm, but there are five vacancies. The remaining vacancy can only be given to an apprentice exorcist in the Qi Condensation Realm. But there are dozens of people in the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Who should I give it to? We can only have a duel, and the time is in three days!

When I first arrived, I saw a huge crowd of people in the hall, all signing up, and many just watching the fun.”

Three days later? Gu Qingfeng's heart moved.

"Can only apprentice demon slayers at the ninth level of Qi Condensation sign up for this competition?"

"Of course not. There is no limit on registration. Many people at the eighth level of Qi Condensation have registered. However, those at the eighth level are just daydreaming and want to give it a try. It is not easy to challenge a higher level. The final winner must be among the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

Let me tell you, the most outrageous thing is that there are people who have signed up for the seventh level of Qi Condensation. How ignorant of the world would one be to dare to sign up? Jumping two levels to challenge is really wishful thinking."

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng fell into deep thought.

This seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity to be promoted to a yellow-level demon slayer.

Gu Qingfeng has always been thinking about the second and third levels of the Demon Suppression Prison. If he wants to enter the second level of the Demon Suppression Prison, he must become a yellow-level demon slayer.

If I follow the normal process to become a yellow-level demon slayer, I don’t know how many lifetimes I’ll have to wait, but now I have the opportunity to achieve success overnight.

However, once he participated in the competition, he would probably expose his own strength and easily bring about unnecessary trouble.

Demons cannot kill me, but warriors can. Participating in a martial arts competition and winning the first prize is such a high-profile thing that does not match my low-key personality.

Gu Qingfeng was in a dilemma for a moment. From beginning to end, he never thought about the possibility of losing, because it was indeed difficult to lose.

Having one of these abilities, such as Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Great Iron Shirt, Hallucination, and Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers, is enough to basically crush the ninth level of Qi Gathering, not to mention that Gu Qingfeng has four of them.

Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about strength, the ultimate strength of the ninth level of Qi Condensation is only nine bulls' strength, which is nine thousand pounds. And I have a huge strength of twenty-five thousand pounds!

The difference is visible to the naked eye.
