The person who was knocked away by Wei Yun’s corpse stepped forward and said, "That person is just a red-clothed mber of the Demon Suppression Bureau. I heard the people of the Bureau call him Wei Fan!"
Wei Fan!
Wei Changqing radiated a terrifying killing intent: "You all go to that place first. After I kill this beast to avenge Yun’Er, I’ll co find you!"
Such a great sacrifice, just to enable my son to beco a Celestial Martial Artist. Now, we have the Demon Pill, but my son is dead.
If I don’t kill Wei Fan, how could I possibly just hide away?
Knock knock...
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Fan opened it to see Duan Anyue and Peng Mingjie with a few others.
Peng Mingjie was the first to speak: "The higher-ups have arranged for the Captain and Leader to see us at the training grounds. Go change your clothes quickly; Senior Sister Li has gone to call Ning Xuan and the others."
Upon hearing this, Wei Fan turned around, changed into his Demon Suppression Guard uniform, picked up the Cold Moon Saber, and headed to the training grounds with the group.
"You all look quite delighted!"
On the way, Wei Fan noticed the barely concealed joy on the faces of Peng Mingjie and the others.
Yu Hong nodded and said, "Of course, although no Celestial Expert is taking over Captain Shan’s position, the higher-ups have assigned us under Captain Situ Ying."
Peng Mingjie chid in, "You might not know who Situ Ying is. He is the youngest disciple of the Second Commander. His cultivation ranks among the top of the Captains of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Following such a Captain gives us much greater safety assurance."
Though his words seed sowhat unfair, they were not wrong.
If back at Wei Family Manor, their Captain had been Situ Ying instead of Shan Jinhong, then it’s very likely that the two Nascent Soul Fox Demons and Wei Changqing would have died.
Following a powerful Captain provides greater risk-resistance when encountering unexpected situations or demon ambushes.
If not for Wei Family Manor’s proximity to Su City, allowing the Demon Suppression Assistant General to see the rescue flare and co promptly, none of them would have survived.
"How are you all so quick?"
After walking for a while, they t up with Li Fengyi and the others.
Wei Fan noticed that Ning Xuan, who was so injured that his intestines were visible, was already able to walk.
Ning Xuan nodded: "As long as I don’t use my hands, it’s not too much of a problem. Brother Wei, you’re really sothing, not even visiting at the dical center all this ti."
Wei Fan rolled his eyes: "I’m not a physician. Would visiting you make you heal faster?"
...
Amidst laughter, the group arrived at the training grounds.
"Such comprehension, how can it be so terrifying? Could he really be a newly accepted disciple of the master outside?"
At the Captain’s Quarters, as Situ Ying looked at the dossier about Wei Fan, his heart was filled with amazent.
This Wei Fan was actually a newcor who had joined the Demon Suppression Bureau just seven or eight days ago.
To comprehend the first technique of the Soul-Slaying Demon-slaying Saber in just seven or eight days was unbelievable to him.
Situ Ying and his fellow disciples had not undergone the Stone Room trial to beco their master’s disciples, so they weren’t very familiar with how difficult the Stone Room test was.
However, he knew that the prodigy Che Jie from the Divine Blade Sect took over a month to comprehend the first technique of the Soul-Slaying Demon-slaying Saber after viewing the blade marks in the Stone Room.
This made him suspect that Wei Fan might be a disciple the master secretly accepted elsewhere, as comprehending the technique in seven or eight days seed improbable.
"Lord Situ, all of Captain Shan’s Demon Suppression Guards have gathered at the training grounds!"
Upon hearing this report from his subordinates, Situ Ying put away the dossier before getting up and leaving the quarters.
Originally, with Shan Jinhong’s death, his subordinates were to be distributed among other captains with fewer team mbers, but Situ Ying, curious about Wei Fan, maneuvered to have Shan Jinhong’s subordinates transferred under his command.
"At your service, Captain!"
Upon reaching the Drilling Platform, a uniform voice rose from below.
Situ Ying, dressed in casual attire, gestured gently, "There’s no need for formalities today. I’m here just to et and get to know everyone."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the twenty-plus Demon Suppression Guards, quickly spotting Wei Fan.
"This guy not only has terrifying comprehension, but his Body Refining talent also seems pretty good, with his cultivation of the Glazed Treasure Body likely at the Sixth Layer. He’s qualified to be a Brocade-clothed Demon Suppression Guard!"
The more he observed, the more astounded Situ Ying beca.
He couldn’t perceive the Supre True Qi of Wei Fan, as True Qi was hidden within acupoints and dantian, and he had no X-ray vision to see inside Wei Fan’s body.
However, Wei Fan’s skin, faintly colored like glazed crystal, could not escape his eyes. Without reaching the fifth or sixth layer of the Glazed Treasure Body, such a color wouldn’t appear on the skin.
Regardless of comprehension, just this level of Body Refining cultivation at this age would make him consider Wei Fan a genius.
"In the battle at Wei Family Manor, your Captain Shan Jinhong unfortunately perished, and many colleagues were also killed. I have now arranged so new matters..."
After watching Wei Fan for a while, Situ Ying began discussing serious matters.
The Demon Suppression Guards under Shan Jinhong had originally four squads, but were never fully staffed, totaling only thirty-plus mbers.
In the Wei Family Manor battle, including Xie Zhiyuan as the squad leader, eight Demon Suppression Guards died, leaving only twenty-eight, not even enough for three complete squads.
Situ Ying arranged to rge the two severely reduced squads, supplenting them with two Demon Suppression Guards from his original subordinates to form three complete squads.
Guo Hongyi, the extra squad leader, was appointed as the leader for Wei Fan’s group.
After finishing the arrangents, Situ Ying left without imdiately interacting with Wei Fan, intending to observe him for a while.
Moreover, as just a disciple, he had to consult his master before thick-skinnedly accepting a disciple.
"Greetings, everyone. I hope for your kind care in the future!"
