The head of the demon-slaying alliance branch also looked indignant.
Pudu Temple is now very famous in the Yan Kingdom, and every prefecture is a temple built by people from Pudu Temple.
That's fine, they collect their incense money, and the Demon Extermination Alliance isn't envious.
But for them to compete with the Demon Extermination Alliance even for something as simple as exorcising demons is going too far.
So when Yang Sheng saw that the ghostwriter in the Demon Extermination Alliance branch was very idle, it was because he really was very idle; all the missions had been taken by the monks of Pudu Temple.
After leaving the branch headquarters, Yang Sheng pondered for a moment and asked Li Ruowei, "Where is the main temple of Pudu Temple?"
Li Ruowei said, "It's just outside the capital of Yan, not too far from the capital."
Yang Sheng squinted and said, "Then let's go to the capital first."
The Blood Demon of the Nether Spring is very likely one of the Ten Great Demon Stars. If he dies, then Yang Sheng's trip will have been in vain.
However, the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring is only suppressed and not dead yet, so Yang Sheng still has a chance.
Yang Sheng asked Old Taoist Cui, "Old Taoist, have you noticed anything amiss?"
Li Ruowei chimed in from the side, "It doesn't seem wrong at all. The suppression of the Netherworld Blood Demon should be a good thing."
Even if it wasn't done by our Demon Extermination Alliance, it's still better than letting the Netherworld Blood Demon ravage the Yan Kingdom.
Old Master Cui chuckled and said, "Little girl, you're still too young. There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world."
The Blood Demon of the Nether Spring raged, causing heavy casualties among other immortal cultivation sects and the Demon Extermination Alliance. Only then did Master Cihang step forward to take action. If he was truly compassionate, why didn't he act sooner?
And since he can suppress the Netherworld Blood Demon, why doesn't he kill it?
In fact, the various legends that have been about banishing demons and evil creatures since ancient times because they could not be killed are just excuses. The real reason is that they are still useful.
If we can suppress and seal them, we can definitely kill them, even if it's a bit more troublesome.
Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the story of Pudu Temple suppressing the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring; we just don't know where the problem lies yet.
Li Ruowei scratched her head, feeling somewhat unable to accept it for a moment.
She was only a newcomer to the martial arts world, somewhat naive and passionate, and not yet used to thinking about everything through the lens of conspiracy theories.
Yang Sheng said, "Let's go to the capital first and find the leader of the capital branch, or a court expert who participated in the siege of Youquan Blood Demon, to find out what happened back then."
Li Ruowei, who was standing to the side, said, "If we were to seek out experts from the imperial court, I should be able to put in a good word for them."
Both Cui Laodao and Yang Sheng looked at Li Ruowei with surprise.
Does this girl have connections with the Yan Kingdom's court?
Li Ruowei said weakly, "Well, actually I didn't mean to hide it from you, Senior Yang, it's just that you never asked."
My father was Li Zongdao, the Grand General of the Army in the Capital Region of Yan, and he must have participated in the campaign to suppress the Blood Demon of Youquan.
Three years ago, I ran away from home to work as a ghostwriter because I had a falling out with my family. I only rushed back now because I was worried something might happen to my father.
Yang Sheng nodded knowingly. No wonder he felt that Li Ruowei was a bit naive and lacked experience in the martial arts world. It turned out that she only had two or three years of real experience in the martial arts world before, as she was the eldest daughter of a general's family.
The Yan Kingdom had a strong martial spirit, so it was divided into thirteen circuits, with thirteen generals in charge of all military affairs. Each circuit had a resident army, unlike other countries where armies had to travel back and forth.
The capital region of Yan State encompasses the capital and more than thirty surrounding prefectures, making it the largest in area. Therefore, Li Zongdao, the Grand Commander of the Capital Region Army, can be considered the emperor's most trusted confidant. He even commands the Imperial Guards, making him arguably the most powerful of the thirteen Grand Commanders.
With this connection, Yang Sheng and Cui Laodao could operate more conveniently in the Yan Kingdom.
"Why did you give up being a daughter of an official to become a ghostwriter?"
Yang Sheng asked.
Li Ruowei snorted and said, "My childhood dream has been to become a swordsman, to slay demons and monsters, and to help those in distress."
But my father arranged for me to marry the son of a prince, a fat, spoiled brat.
Having no other choice, I fled the State of Yan and became a swordsmith.
"If I hadn't been worried about him this time, I wouldn't have come back."
