Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 82 - 64: The Demon Calamity in the Bamboo Sea, Hu Meiniang Reappears
"I accept the order!"
The three of Wei Fan stood up. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
Itโs not a full squad deployment!
How big is Su City? Under its jurisdiction are twelve cities and a hundred and eighty-two large towns, all needing manpower.
If any random mission required the deployment of ten Demon Suppression Guards, even doubling the manpower wouldnโt be enough.
"Hereโs the detailed mission introduction and official documents. You must depart immediately!"
Guo Hongyi handed the paper in his hand to Li Fengyi, and he escorted the three out of the main hall until they disappeared from sight.
"Haha... Guo, your team got a mission assigned, huh? How come only three are going?"
Just as he was about to return to the main hall to continue waiting for orders, a voice came from the side.
Guo Hongyi turned and found it was Han Fei, a captain under another company officer.
Guo Hongyi was somewhat familiar with Han Fei and even had a decent relationship, having known him even before joining the Demon Suppression Bureau. He casually said, "Itโs just a second or third-grade True Realm demon disaster, sending three Demon Suppression Guards is already overkill; no need for the whole squad."
Han Fei showed an amused expression, a glint flashing in his eyes: "Where is the demon so bold, causing trouble at just the second or third grade of the True Realm!"
Guo Hongyi said, "In Bamboo Sea County, probably a wild demon that came out from deep in the mountains. I bet even the Demon Suppression Bureau hasnโt heard of it!"
As he spoke, he cupped his fist, "Wonโt chat with you anymore, Han. Just arrived under Lord Situโs command, I need to be serious."
Han Fei also cupped his fist: "Lord Situ is strict; you should indeed be serious. Congratulations, Guo, for being assigned under Lord Situ, your accomplishments will surely increase."
He watched Guo Hongyi leave, then leisurely strolled out of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
...
On the official road leading from Su City to Bamboo Sea County, the three of Wei Fan were dressed in casual clothes, riding swiftly on horseback.
Li Fengyi rode in front, explaining to Wei Fan while instructing Yu Hong: "I checked the mission details. The demon fiend isnโt strong, but itโs very skilled at hiding its tracks. Whether or not we can find this demon fiend and kill it depends on you, Yu Hong."
Yu Hong nodded: "Rest assured, as long as that demon fiend is still in Bamboo Sea County, I can find it."
His combat power in the team was only surpassed by Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong, but when it came to tracking and finding demons, he was unrivaled.
This time, he was the core of the mission.
Li Fengyi nodded with a smile: "I trust your Qi Gathering and Demon-Hunting Technique. Letโs not delay and hurry. We should reach Bamboo Sea County before nightfall."
At nightfall, a small city standing on a plain appeared in the vision of Wei Fan and his companions.
Surrounded by mountains, Bamboo Sea City was covered in bamboo, roughly the same size as Yun City.
Since entering the jurisdiction of Bamboo Sea County, Wei Fan saw many bamboo species he had never encountered before, some as large as a person could wrap their arms around.
The houses along the road were mostly built with bamboo too.
"Should we first go to the County Yamen to understand the situation, or rest for a night first?"
Yu Hong looked fatigued, having traveled almost the entire day. Even on horseback, he was exhausted.
Seeing Bamboo Sea City not far away, he just wanted to rest before anything else.
As they neared the city gate, Li Fengyi dismounted: "Letโs not go to the Yamen first. We should first conceal our identities and inquire within the city."
The rules of the Demon Suppression Bureau dictate that during a mission, trust no one. Not even your teammates, be wary of everyone.
Because outside the Demon Suppression Bureau, anything you encounter might be a trap set by demons.
Especially for such missions far from Su City, in remote places, the likelihood of them being a trap is higher.
After all, regarding the affair at Wei Family Manor, it was Wei Fan and his companions who discovered Wei Hongyingโs collusion. When the Demon Suppression Bureau went to arrest people, they intended to catch Wei Family by surprise, but it turned out everything was a trap set by others.
Wei Fan and Yu Hong also dismounted, covering the mouths of the horses with cloth.
The mounts of the Demon Suppression Bureau, though outwardly appearing as ordinary horses, had mouths full of fangs. Anyone familiar with the bureau would instantly recognize their presence.
After covering the fangs, the trio led their horses into the city.
As they entered the city, Wei Fan casually glanced at the city guards, and the panel flickered twice.
He turned to look at Li Fengyi and Yu Hong, who showed no reaction.
The three found an inn and settled their horses.
Wei Fan spoke up: "Bamboo Sea County might have a serious problem. Earlier at the entrance, among the eight guards, two were actually transformed by Fox Demons."
Li Fengyiโs expression turned serious: "Are you sure you didnโt make a mistake?"
Wei Fan nodded.
Some demons, after transforming into humans, canโt even be detected by celestial martial artists, but the panel never errs.
"Itโs truly audacious, daring to mix into the City Guard."
Li Fengyiโs face darkened. She didnโt doubt Wei Fanโs ability; it was Wei Fan who first noticed something wrong with Wei Hongying.
If even the City Guard contained demons, Bamboo Sea County might already be crawling with them, and this mission could indeed be a trap.
"I also examined those city guards and found nothing amiss!"
Yu Hong frowned.
He didnโt witness Wei Fanโs abilities in White Cloud Village, so he didnโt trust Wei Fanโs words as much as Li Fengyi did.
Moreover, since he was the demon-hunting expert, he was assigned to this mission.
He hadnโt noticed any issues, yet Wei Fan didโdid that imply he was lacking in skill?
Li Fengyi said, "Trust Wei Fan; even if itโs a mistake, treat it seriously!"
Yu Hong nodded, considering the risk to their lives, caution was imperative.
Often, those careless and obstinate individuals end up dead.
"Waiter, I need to ask, have there been any demon disasters recently in Bamboo Sea County?"
