After being tortured, Jiang Yun finally learned the information of the captured monk.
The captured cultivator was named Niu Fang. Following the request of Zhang Cheng, a late-stage Qi-refining cultivator from the inner city with considerable connections, he came here to teach Jiang Yun a lesson and make a small fortune.
Niu Fang, whose face was covered with scars and red flesh was protruding, was already very frightened and told the whole story in detail.
"Who is this Zhang Cheng? Why did Niu Fang come to trouble me?"
Jiang Yun was puzzled, as he had no connection with the other party at all. But from what Niu Fang said, Zhang Cheng was from a branch of Ziyang Sect and had an official background, which was why the other party dared to break in and rob. As long as they didn't make too big a fuss, the Demon Suppression Division would not intervene.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun took out the sound transmission talisman and began to notify the only cultivator he knew in the Demon Suppression Division.
"Senior Ling, we've captured a cultivator who appears to be a demonic cultivator. They claim to have been sent by Boss Zhang Cheng. Please come over."
Less than a quarter of an hour after sending the sound transmission talisman, Jiang Yun heard Ling Tong's footsteps outside the door. The only difference was that this time he was alone.
"Senior Ling," Jiang Yun quickly opened the formation and welcomed him in. As soon as Ling entered, he saw Niu Fang who was tied up tightly, with scars all over his face and trembling all over.
"Huh, I didn't expect that fellow seeker has a spirit beast as his companion."
Ling Tong could tell at a glance that the other party was injured by some kind of monster. In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Jiang Yun usually did not let Xiaobai show himself in public.
"They are all family inheritances. There is a late-stage first-order spirit beast. It cost a lot to defeat the enemy."
Jiang Yun's face was heavy and he said reluctantly that it seemed like he had also suffered considerable losses.
Ling Tong smiled slightly and said nothing, but threw a token to Jiang Yun.
"What is this? The token of the worship hall?"
Jiang Yun looked at the black iron token, which had a few purple lines on it.
"This is the Demon Suppression Commander badge. The Commander-in-Chief values you highly and has granted you special permission to join the Demon Suppression Division. Why? You don't like it?"
After Ling Tong finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yun. He did not mention the matter of replacing the Dou Fu of the Worship Hall, but directly mentioned the invitation from the Demon Suppression Division.
"Well, Senior Ling..." Jiang Yun looked incredulous. He had never thought about joining the Demon Suppression Division. Finally, he asked carefully:
"I have been refining pills since I was young, but unfortunately my family fell into decline. Now, my first wish is to advance to the foundation-building stage and rebuild my family. Second, I want to see the Purple Sun Divine Stone and fulfill the wish of my family for generations. I am truly sorry!"
Jiang Yun looked at the token in his hand and stated his two wishes in a firm tone. If joining the Demon Suppression Division could bring him closer to the sacred stone, Jiang Yun would immediately change his plan and join them.
"Haha! Another whimsical guy."
Ling Tong felt bored when he heard this. He didn't expect that he could meet such a naive cultivator now. The legend of the Purple Yang Divine Stone has been around for tens of thousands of years. Apart from the founder of the sect and the later masters of the Way of Talismans, no one had ever gained any insights from the Divine Stone.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The invitation from the Demon Suppression Division is real, but this token has another purpose."
After Ling Tong finished speaking, he did not continue, but looked at Niu Fang, who was lying on the ground tied up tightly, with great interest.
"This may be related to..."
Jiang Yun also looked at Niu Fang on the ground in surprise. Niu Fang was so frightened when he saw the captain of the Demon Suppression Division's Foundation Establishment Team looking at him that he lost his mind and quickly said loudly:
"Senior, please spare my life. I'm really not a demon cultivator. I grew up in the Immortal City. I came here because Zhang Cheng asked me to. I have no intention of harming fellow Daoist Mu. Please spare my life! Wuwu!"
After Niu Fang finished speaking, he burst into tears. He felt extremely wronged. He just bullied a cultivator without any background, so how did he become a demon cultivator?
"Haha, of course I know you're not a demon cultivator, you're Zhang Cheng's subordinate, right?"
Ling Tong seemed to be in a good mood. After speaking to Niu Fang, he turned around and said to Jiang Yun with a smile:
"This is the first step you will take to join the Worship Hall. Do you still want to join?"
Jiang Yun was confused after hearing this. It seemed that someone didn't want him to join the Worship Hall? A side branch, because he was just an ordinary talisman master?
"The Gongfeng Hall agrees to your request, but requires you to compete with Zhang Ping, a talented cultivator from a branch of the Zhang family. If you win, you can join the Gongfeng Hall. This person was sent by Zhang Ping's cousin Zhang Cheng. Do you still want to join?"
After hearing Ling Tong's words, Jiang Yun finally understood why he had encountered this. But he was immediately extremely puzzled. Could it be that the other party knew that he was a talent for making talismans, so he used this trick.
"You really overestimate these sects and families. If you can defeat a mere independent cultivator, what qualifications do you have to compete with them? This is probably just the first step. If you lose, it's fine. But if you win and join the Hall of Worship, then you'll have your share of battles. What do you think? Do you still want to join?"
After Ling Tong finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Yun, waiting for his decision.
Jiang Yun didn't think for a moment, he clasped his hands together and said firmly:
"Thank you, Senior, but I have made up my mind. No matter what the outcome, I must join the Worship Hall, participate in the Purple Sun Talisman Meeting, and gain the opportunity to comprehend the Divine Stone!"
Ling Tong shook his head after hearing this, having said what he needed to say. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he grabbed Niu Fang, who lay on the ground. Niu Fang screamed in pain, and with a flick of his left hand, he sealed his mouth. Silence finally fell over the room.
As Ling Tong, who had captured Niu Fang, was about to leave, he turned around and said:
"Since you can help me cause some trouble for Zhang Cheng, I'll give you a suggestion. You should get to know Zhang Ping early. He's arrogant and proud. Knowing that you have a rival in the Dou Fu, he will protect you from the intrusion of villains."
