Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 150 Silver Bell Demon Catcher Logs Off_1

In the ear-splitting din, the distant village plunged into chaos.Soon a few courageous fishermen stealthily crept out to have a look and upon seeing the chilling sight of three Jiaolong corpses on the riverbank, their bodies trembled, and just as they were about to shrink back, they suddenly recognized a face etched deep in their minds.

Moments later, a multitude of fishermen poured out of the village, with the crazed and widows rushing to the front.

After confirming that the person before wasn't spouting nonsense, they instantly knelt down en masse, bowing solemnly towards the distance.

"..."

Chen Qiankun turned to look back, with a somewhat sighing sentiment.

In such a short time, Shen Yi alone had acquired an authority here that was no less than that of the Demon-suppression Bureau.

These people might not recognize who the Demon-suppression Great General is, but they would definitely recognize their River God.

"One doesn't visit a temple without a cause, so you're probably not here to reminisce with an old man."

Chen Qiankun turned helplessly, probably the most aggrieved among the Demon-suppression Great Generals, having personally appointed the other as Personal Adjutant General, yet the young man might be stepping into Linjiang Prefecture for the first time.

Shen Yi released his clasped hands and nodded, "At Lady Jiang's behest, I'm here to report to the old general that the demon of Qingfeng Mountain has been eliminated."

Upon hearing this familiar title, Fang Heng felt something off about himself.

Wasn't Officer Shen out catching demons? How did he get involved with his Sister Master?

And what's with these three Jiaolong that fell from the sky?!

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Qiankun giving him a glance: "What is a child like you prying into? Stand down for now."

When there's serious business to discuss, even the most talented youngsters must step aside.

"Understood." Fang Heng opened his mouth but reluctantly returned to the midst of the Colonels.

"Continue," Chen Qiankun said, turning back to Shen Yi. He was truly curious which Great Demon would warn him under those circumstances.

Shen Yi remained impassive, "Lady Jiang tracked the demon to Creek Terrace Mountain, where she was ambushed by the White Deer Demon Lord, a little Demon King, along with another Embrace Pill Realm Canine Demon. The little Demon King and Canine Demon fled, and the White Deer was slain."

Observing the young man's calm demeanor, Chen Qiankun's eyebrows slightly raised, "You are saying... Jiang Qiulan was ambushed and then the White Deer died?"

Shen Yi lightly nodded his chin, "Yes."

Chen Qiankun first closed his eyes, then reopened them, scrutinizing the young man from head to toe anew.

Why hadn't he noticed before that this lad was quite the smooth talker?

To date, no Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch has died at the hands of Jiang Qiulan because they're not foolish—they flee upon receiving news, never giving her the chance to see them.

The most unlikely among them was the White Deer.

For it was timid and fast, even with a little Demon King's backing, it would never let itself be in direct danger from Jiang Qiulan.

Even if the White Deer truly died, it wouldn't be at Jiang Qiulan's hands.

"Ah."

Having guessed about eight or nine out of ten, even after serving as the Demon-suppression Great General for so many years, witnessing countless extraordinary people and events, Chen Qiankun couldn't help but feel a sense of preposterous astonishment.

After a long silence, he shook his head with a sense of wonder, "She is hinting at something to this old man."

By deliberately sending Shen Yi to Linjiang Prefecture to inform him, she intended to signal two things.

The first was that she had already met this person, found him quite satisfactory, and there was no need for others to doubt anything.

The second was to send this capable talent back to his side.

"I understand," he said.

Chen Qiankun grasped the Heavy Iron Halberd tightly, and even if he was loath to admit aging, he had to acknowledge... he was truly growing too old, "You should return to Qingzhou City as quickly as possible. When the General returns, I will give her a satisfactory reward."

Catching the change in the old man's expression, Shen Yi couldn't discern why a sense of the twilight years seemed to suddenly envelop the other.

He glanced sideways at the Yangchun River, "This Jiaolong clan..."

"Are you planning to turn the entire Yangchun River upside down to find them?"

Having heard the conversation just now, Chen Qiankun no longer seemed to think that Shen Yi was being reckless and overestimating his abilities by considering taking on an Embrace Pill Realm Old Jiaolong. Instead, he merely marveled at the vastness of the Yangchun River.

"There's no need to worry too much, the General will return to Qingzhou City in at most a dozen days. Once he's back, at least those Great Demons will be much quieter."

A Martial Immortal could protect an entire province.

This was not an exaggeration or flattery.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi felt somewhat regretful; after all, he possessed divine skills from the Jiao clan that allowed him to be fearless of the great river.

But to
