Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

When he fought with the wolf demon a few days ago, his weakness in speed was exposed.

Although he and Lin Jinyan took on this mission together,

Lin Jinyan had already stated that she would not take action again, and the task of hunting the wolf demon needed to be completed by him alone.

So before that, Lu Ren had to be fully prepared.

After listening to his request, Lin Jinyan said:"The martial arts of body movement are relatively rare, and you cannot touch them with your current authority."

"So when can I choose?"

"After you are promoted to a three-star demon-suppressing guard."

Lu Ren was speechless.

The demon-suppressing department had too many broken rules, and they were particularly rigid.

He was now a martial artist in the early stage of opening his meridians, and his strength had surpassed that of Guo Qi, a two-star captain.

But he didn't even have the qualifications to learn a first-level body movement martial art?

This was really too outrageous.

"Lord Lin, are there any demons in the county city? Or what should I do to be promoted to a three-star demon-suppressing guard as soon as possible?"

"There are indeed demons in the city, but they are raised by humans."Lin Jinyan said lightly

"Artificially raising demons?" Lu Ren looked at her strangely.

The Lord Lin in front of him raised dozens of demons in Shanyin County.

Feeling Lu Ren's gaze, Lin Jinyan explained expressionlessly:"I am different from them"

"Haha, I have never doubted that you have some ulterior motive in keeping those monsters captive." Lu Ren smiled and then asked,"So, who are you referring to when you say"they"?"

"There are four major families in Huashui County, including the Lin family. The reason why these families can exist and continue to grow and develop is closely related to some gray industries under their names."

"Gray industry?" Lu Ren suddenly thought of something:"Could it be the Colosseum?"

Lin Jinyan nodded slightly:"Almost the same, but it is not a fight between demons, but a life-and-death duel between a man and a demon. The Zhao family and the Lu family both have underground arenas. Before each opening, they will make a big fuss in the city to attract people to watch and place bets."

After hearing this, Lu Ren's expression was very calm.

The fight between humans and demons is indeed very entertaining.

This is much more exciting than ordinary gambling.

And both sides are fighting for life and death, so it is unlikely that there is a casino manipulation.

"Who are the people entering the arena?"

"There are all kinds of people, idle martial artists, wandering knights, sect disciples, and even the Demon Suppression Guards."

Lu Ren frowned:"People from the Demon Suppression Division can also participate?"

"Strictly speaking, it is not allowed. However, as long as you do not reveal your identity during the competition and affect the reputation of the Demon Suppression Division, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye even if they know about it."

"Why is this happening?" Lu Ren didn't quite understand.

The Demon Suppression Division is an official agency under the imperial court.

How could they allow their subordinates to participate in such a beast fighting gambling game that seriously affects the moral atmosphere?

Lin Jinyan slowly said:"Because....There are too many people in the Demon Suppression Division."

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment.

Soon, he understood the deep meaning of this sentence.

"Are you saying that the Demon Suppression Division deliberately allowed this behavior to exist in order to reduce the number of Demon Suppression Guards?"

Lin Jinyan looked at him deeply, then smiled calmly and said,"You don't seem to be that stupid."

"........I'm not stupid, it's you who always calls me stupid."

"Then I won’t scold you today."

Lu Ren’s mouth twitched.

Haha, you mean we’ll continue tomorrow?

He turned back to the topic:"Why did the Demon Suppression Division do this? Is it because there are not enough resources to allocate?"

"Well, that's one of the reasons." Lin Jinyan continued:"The people in the Demon Suppression Division are living on the edge of a knife, risking their lives every day to hunt monsters and protect the peace of the area, so the corresponding resources are also very rich."

"I know this"

"What was your original intention for joining the Demon Suppression Division?"

Lu Ren said without hesitation:"Of course, it is to slay demons and protect the people."

Of course, this was just a polite remark.

He could not tell the other party the real reason.

Lin Jinyan looked at him doubtfully, but did not say anything.

"More people may not hold this idea."Lin Jinyan looked into the distance with a cold gaze:"Some people join the Demon Suppression Division just for the generous training resources."

"But doesn't the Demon Suppression Division distribute resources based on merit?"

He himself is a living example.

Without any merit, it is impossible to learn any martial arts.

"However, some people, after achieving merit, just lie down and spend their days in debauchery, indulging themselves in pleasure, without any ambition, just waiting to receive their salary and training resources at the beginning of each month.

Other demon-suppressing guards are fighting for their lives outside, while they are hiding in the county city in comfort. Do you think the Demon-Suppressing Division will allow such people to exist?"

Lu Ren nodded in agreement, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Since those people are greedy for stability, why would they go to the casino to participate in beast fighting?"

"Because of one word: greed!"

Lu Ren motioned for her to continue.

"In order to attract martial artists, the casino offered extremely generous rewards. As long as one could kill a demon of similar cultivation within a limited time, he would receive a large amount of bounty, elixirs, etc."

"So, the strength of the humans and demons in the Colosseum is equal?"

"If it weren’t arranged this way, would the outcome of the bet still be suspenseful?"

"That's right, this is fair." Lu Ren agreed.

"However, with the demon-hunting experience of the demon-suppressing guards, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a demon of the same level, right? Even if they can't kill it, at least they can escape unscathed."

Lin Jinyan suddenly smiled mysteriously:"Do you think there is any connection between the family behind the casino and the Demon-Suppressing Division?"

Lu Ren woke up as if from a dream:"You mean, the Demon-Suppressing Division is behind the gambling game?"

"It was only aimed at those demon-suppressing guards who were just sitting there doing nothing. Once such a person participated in the gambling, the casino would immediately inform the demon-suppressing department, and after receiving the instructions, they would naturally do something secretly to make that person die openly in the Colosseum."

"Since it was a fair duel, how did the casino do anything?"

Lin Jinyan sneered:"Before the duel began, the demons were given some powder that would make them extremely manic."

"I see......."

Lu Ren took a deep breath.

I didn't expect that there was so much going on behind the scenes of this underground casino.

"By the way, you mentioned the four major families in Huashui County, but only mentioned the Zhao family and the Lu family. Aren’t the Lin family and another family involved?"

"The four major families all have both open and covert businesses. Our Lin family and Liu family focus on the medicinal materials and weapons markets, and occasionally take on some private assassination missions."

"If I go to the Colosseum and kill the monsters, can I get merits?"
