In the Demon Suppression Division, the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique is perfected

Two days later in the afternoon.

The sun lazily spread over Tianshui City, inlaying a golden edge for this prosperous city.

The streets are still busy, but there is no leisure and noise as in the past.

The pedestrians are walking hurriedly, looking anxious, as if there is a sense of depression in the air.

Back to the Demon Suppression Division.

After saying goodbye to Tang Lingyu and others, Gu Cheng walked back to his residence alone.

The heavy snow a few days ago covered the entire Tianshui City with a layer of silver, and his small courtyard was no exception, covered with a thick layer of snow.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard, his mind swept through.

An invisible force quietly spread, pulling the snow in the courtyard, piling up into a huge dog-headed snowman, standing comically in the center of the courtyard.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and walked to the pavilion in the courtyard, skillfully making a fire and boiling tea.

Soon, curls of white smoke with a faint tea fragrance spread out, adding a bit of fireworks to the quiet courtyard.

Just as Gu Cheng was preparing to leisurely drink tea and take a break, his heart suddenly moved, he looked up at the sky, and took another teacup.

A moment later, a black shadow cut through the sky, like an eagle, and landed steadily in the courtyard.

The man was wearing a black cloud cloak, a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, white hair and eagle eyes, and he was majestic without anger.

It was Xu Wenying, the deputy general of Tianshui Town Demon Division.

"Gu Cheng! You finally know to come back!"

Xu Wenying's hearty voice echoed in the courtyard. He glanced at the funny dog-headed snowman in the courtyard and strode into the pavilion:

"If you don't come back, I'll think some female demon has seduced your soul away!"

"Hehe, Lord Xu is joking..."

Gu Cheng smiled and handed over a cup of steaming hot tea:

"Didn't I report in advance for this mission?"

Xu Wenying reached out to take the teacup, but his eyes fell on the black-shirted young man, looking at him carefully.

At first, there was a teasing smile in his eyes, but gradually, the smile faded, replaced by a solemn look.

Gu Cheng had deliberately concealed his cultivation before, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. With his cultivation at the peak of the innate realm, he could more or less detect a clue.

But now, seeing him again, it was like seeing flowers in the fog, and he couldn't see through Gu Cheng's depth at all, as if he was just an ordinary person with no cultivation.

"Strange..." Xu Wenying frowned, thinking secretly in his heart:

"It's impossible for this kid to surpass me in cultivation in just a few months? Even if he is very talented, he can't reach the sky in one step..."

After a moment of silence, General Xu seemed to think of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes:

"Gu kid, have you practiced some advanced breath-retaining techniques?"

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, Lord Xu."

Gu Cheng just smiled slightly when he heard it, and did not deny it.

With his current spiritual cultivation, combined with the breath-retaining effect of the secret technique "Hidden Yuan Jue", under deliberate disguise, even a master at the peak of the innate realm like Xu Wenying would find it difficult to spy on him.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng looked at the still heroic old man Xu in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

When he just left Changle County, this old man Xu was still the ceiling of his combat power.

As a result, in less than half a year, he had already surpassed him by a long way.

"Well, it's better to be low-key."

Xu Wenying naturally didn't consider the most incredible possibility. He took a sip of hot tea and nodded approvingly:

"The situation in Tianshui County is becoming more and more chaotic. With your talent, if you show off too much, it will easily bring disaster."

He put down the teacup and looked at Gu Cheng with a sharp gaze:

"By the way, Gu boy, did you find anything when you went out to investigate the 'blood unicorn' this time?"

Gu Cheng's eyes moved slightly, He shook his head with a look of regret:

"Nothing was gained."

"Humph, nothing is gained!"

Xu Wenying smiled teasingly, stroking his beard and said:

"I just got the news from an old friend in Chongshan County that the blood unicorn had already gone to Chongshan County! You kid, you have made a wasted trip this time!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Gu Cheng showed a touch of just the right amount of surprise, but secretly felt the speed of the spread of the news.

Tieyun City is thousands of miles away, but it has spread to Tianshui City so quickly?

"You don't know how terrifying that blood unicorn is..."

Xu Wenying enthusiastically recounted the story of the 'blood unicorn' causing a big fuss in Tieyun City.

From summoning the headless black dragon to fighting the corpse king of the Spirit Sea Realm of the Rebirth Sect, Mr. Xu described it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Listening to the other party bragging about the power of the "Blood Qilin" in a serious manner, Gu Cheng, as theAt the same time, he guessed that the old friend mentioned by Mr. Xu was most likely the great master of body refining, Liu Qingshan. "...After this battle, most of Tieyun City was destroyed, and I'm afraid it will become history." Xu Wenying shook his head and sighed, as if he was lamenting the exaggerated and terrifying destructive power of the strong man in the Spirit Sea Realm: "It was also after this that the Demon Suppression Division cancelled the reward for the Blood Qilin, and you don't have to pay attention to this matter anymore." "Cancelled?" Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised. "But I heard someone say that the Demon Suppression Division issued a bounty in order to recruit that Blood Qilin, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Wenying nodded, his tone more serious:

"But the bounty was for a master of the magic path in the Xiantian realm. Now it seems that his strength is seriously underestimated.

The current strength of the Blood Qilin is comparable to that of two Linghai masters. How can such a person be easily recruited by the Demon Suppression Division?"

"The general also realized this, so he personally ordered to cancel the bounty for the Blood Qilin to show respect for the strong."

"So that's it..."

Gu Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He really didn't expect that the commotion he caused in Chongshan County would even alarm the general of Yunzhou.

So it seems that it's time for the Blood Qilin alias to be silent again for a while.

Xu Wenying took in all the subtle changes in his expression, thinking that the boy was just sighing at the power of the "Blood Qilin".

He took a sip of tea, smiled and said:

"But no matter what, the Blood Qilin's troubles have helped us in Tianshui County!"

"I heard that because of the matter of the dragon servant, the Dragon Palace was furious, and two dragons of the Spiritual Sea Realm were sent to Chongshan County to find trouble with the Blood Qilin.

The pressure on our Tianshui County has naturally been reduced a lot."

At this point, Mr. Xu shook his head with emotion:

"Alas, such a brilliant person, if there is a chance in the future, I really want to get to know him..."

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but raise a barely noticeable arc at the corner of his mouth, lowered his head to drink tea, and thought to himself:

"Blood Qilin" is inviting you to drink tea, your wish has probably been fulfilled a long time ago...
