“Eighty percent of the demons in the city are under the Green Wolf Demon
King and White Water Demon King’s command, among which there are over a hundred spirit-level demons!”
“Over one hundred?” Su Nan was astonished, “With so many demons, what can the Demon Hunting Bureau really do with such a small number of people?” Zhu Chen’s bitter smile revealed, “Our Demon Hunting Bureau can only handle some low-level cases; once it exceeds the spirit level, it’s not under our jurisdiction anymore.”
“When the former director was still in office, even ordinary Xuan-level demons could be dealt with. Now, even late-stage Spirit-level demons are difficult for us to handle.”
“There are already more than forty Spirit-level cases we can’t handle right now, originally waiting for the new director to take up the post, but now…” Zhu Chen didn’t continue; the meaning was already quite clear.
Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged, “Since I am the director now, leave those cases for me to handle.”
“Captain Zhu, fetch me the case files so I can take a look.”
These are all Demon Power, which must not be missed.
Where did this young bumpkin come from? Isn’t he afraid of death?
Zhu Chen hesitated, secretly muttered in his heart.
He didn’t expect Su Nan to take the cases from him just after mentioning them.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Chen said, “Director Zhang, you’ve just arrived; how could we let you do it yourself? Let us handle it.”
Su Nan could easily see through his thoughts, “Don’t worry, I just want to take a look, go fetch the case files for me.”
“This…Alright!” Zhu Chen hesitated for a moment before finally turning around to leave.
As he left the small courtyard, he secretly shook his head and couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so eager to die.”
Soon, a case file was delivered to Su Nan’s hands.
“On March 7th, the Xu Mao family of six disappeared in Gu Yang Street; an investigation revealed it was the doing of the White Water Demon King’s subordinate, Fiery Bird Demon.”
“On April 28th, three young girls disappeared from Qingfeng Tower; an investigation found it was the doing of White Water Demon King’s subordinate, Long-tailed Rat Demon.”
“On June 13th,…”
After a brief look, Su Nan found the case files, ranging from last March to now, involved a total of forty-two incidents.
Many of them were committed by the same demon multiple times, adding up to twenty-three demons that haven’t been eliminated by the Demon Hunting Bureau.
Su Nan silently took note of these cases.
Since he is now openly the director of the Demon Hunting Bureau, he can’t recklessly kill demons in public.
These demons, who have violated the agreement between the county magistrate and the Demon King, are the perfect targets.
Of course, he didn’t plan to make a move in public either.
Su Nan returned the case file to Zhu Chen, and at this moment, a man and woman entered the small courtyard.
The man was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, handsome; the woman was about forty years old, yet still charming.
“I heard our Demon Hunting Bureau has a new director?”
Zhu Chen immediately introduced Su Nan: “Director Zhang, these two are Ma
Qiang and Chen Su I mentioned before.”
“It’s true!”
Seeing Su Nan, Chen Su and Ma Qiang exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise.
When they received the news earlier that the Demon Hunting Bureau had a new spirit-level early-stage director, they thought it was false information.
Yet now it turned out to be true, and as they looked at Su Nan, sympathy appeared in their eyes.
Su Nan could clearly see their meaning, but remained calm and indifferent. Afterward, he exchanged some pleasantries with the three of them. Eventually, Su Nan found an excuse to leave the Demon Hunting Bureau. Having gathered the information he needed, it was time to get down to business.
After he departed,
Ma Qiang looked at the case file in Zhu Chen’s hand and sneered,
“These cases we can’t solve, and we rely on him, a spirit-level early-stage, to meddle? He really doesn’t know how to spell the word ‘death.’”
Chen Su chimed in, “If he wants to seek death, then let him go. I want to see how many days he can hold up.”
Zhu Chen said solemnly, “Don’t speak without thinking; he was appointed by the governor himself; it’s not for you or me to discuss.”
“Moreover, I have a feeling our new Director might not be as simple as he appears on the surface!”
Compared to Tiangong Pavilion in Nine Pavilion County, Tianyun City’s Tiangong Pavilion is more than three times larger.
From time to time, martial artists came to Tiangong Pavilion to buy items, and Su Nan even saw demons coming in and out.
“This Tiangong Pavilion is really something, doing even the business of demons!”
Finding a secluded place, Su Nan changed his appearance and entered Tiangong Pavilion.
As soon as he entered, a young girl came forward and asked, “Young Master, what do you need to buy?”
Su Nan directly asked, “I heard that you have Divine Power Veins here. What’s their price in essence blood?”
“I’m sorry, Young Master, but the Divine Power Veins are auction items. If you want to buy them, you need to participate in our auction. There will be one in three days.”
“Auction items?”
Su Nan’s brow slightly furrowed.
He knew without asking that once things went to auction, the prices would be high.
As a result, his interest in buying the Divine Power Veins waned a lot.
“Do you have any Bloodline Servant Imprints of the demon clan here?”
The young girl said, “We do have Bloodline Servant Imprints, but they can only be used by the demon clan. It’s useless for you even if you buy it.”
“We also have another kind of servant imprint, which, although not as domineering as the Bloodline Servant Imprint, can be used by humans.”
“How much essence blood?”
“One thousand drops of Mortal Grade Essence Blood.”
“What about the Bloodline Servant Imprint?”
“One hundred drops of Mortal Grade Essence Blood.”
“I still want the Bloodline Servant Imprint.” Su Nan said without thinking.
The effect isn’t as good as the Bloodline Servant Imprint, but it’s so expensive just because humans can use it?
After a moment, the young girl brought him a jade plate similar to those used to record Demon Techniques.
Su Nan didn’t rush to pay. He continued, “I need a Spirit-level Physique System Demon Technique and Bloodline.”
“Two drops of Spirit Grade Essence Blood for the Spirit-level Bloodline, and ten drops of Spirit Grade Essence Blood for the Spirit-level Demon Technique.” Bloodline requires two drops of essence blood as well?
Su Nan was surprised, and couldn’t help but curse the greed of the Tiangong Pavilion in his heart.
However, he ultimately gritted his teeth and made the purchase.
The last time he was at the Mortal Level, his main source of bloodlines was the Mainline Task, and he had no choice.
Now that he has a choice, he plans to stick to a single path: fusing all physique series bloodlines with an emphasis on strength.
For the Secret Power System, he’ll focus on bloodlines that primarily control Primordial Qi Power.
For the time being, he’ll focus on bloodlines that primarily control fire power for the law-controlling class.
The power of Primordial Qi is versatile, capable of amplifying any kind of power, and has many uses.
As for integrating the power of fire, it’s because he has the Li Fire Essence.
The Li Fire Essence can significantly increase the power of flame.
Although he hasn’t refined it yet, it’s only a matter of time.
He bought one set of techniques and bloodlines for each of the three systems, totaling 36 drops of Spirit Grade Essence Blood.
Plus the Bloodline Servant Imprint, that’s 46 drops of Spirit Grade Essence Blood in total.
In the end, Su Nan paid with the corpses of 12 Peak Spirit-level demons and the corpses of two Spirit-level Early-stage demons.
“Now I have only ten Spirit-level Peak demon corpses left!” Looking at the remaining demon corpses in the storage ring, Su Nan couldn’t help but sigh.
Last time at Sky Wolf Valley’s Mysterious Cave, he got 26 demon corpses. Later, at the Tiangong Pavilion in Nine Pavilion County, he used up the corpses of seven demons.
At Turtle King Lake, he also harvested three Peak Spirit-level demon corpses.
Luckily, besides the Spirit Level Peak demon corpses, he still has one Late Xuan Stage corpse and one King-level corpse of unknown rank.
“Will these be enough to buy the Divine Power Veins?” Su Nan was not quite sure.
“If it’s not enough, I’ll have to see if I can hunt a few more in the next two days.”
After leaving the Tiangong Pavilion, Su Nan didn’t return to the Demon Hunting Bureau. Instead, he chose to stay in an inn and rent a room.
He planned to first use the Bloodline Servant Imprint to control the two demons in the Cosmic ring and then try to infiltrate the demons in Tianyun County.
With the jade plate that contained the Bloodline Servant Imprint, a large amount of information entered his mind.
After a moment, his eyes opened, shining brightly.
Applying the Bloodline Servant Imprint wasn’t complicated. All he needed to do was condense a mark within his body first and then imprint it into the demon he wanted to brand.
However, there’s one very important point in this process.
The demon being imprinted must willingly cooperate; otherwise, it wouldn’t work.
This wasn’t difficult for Su Nan.
He used Boneshifting, changing his appearance and simultaneously switched his role to Lang Thirteen with the Life Wheel Scripture.
About ten minutes later, two bizarre blood-colored patterns formed on his palm.
“Is this the Bloodline Servant Imprint?” Su Nan’s eyes flashed with a different color.
Now, he could try to control the demons..
