I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 33: Demon Suppression Division

“You still don’t know what it is?”

Li Ji looked puzzled.

Lu Donglai nodded slightly and sighed, "Yes! I only know that the heavy rain a few days ago caused the water level of Lingjiang River to surge, and washed away a lot of things, including coffins, corpses, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures... It was probably an ancient tomb in the southwest of Wuling County that was washed out by the heavy rain."

"Captain Qinglong led a team to investigate at night. Before they reached the scene, something unexpected happened on the way. The people accompanying him only had time to hear a scream. By the time they reacted, Captain Qinglong had already died tragically on the spot. His flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only his bloody bones wrapped in clothes standing there."

"After that night, the Demon Suppression Division ordered martial law and a strict investigation, but up to now, no clues have been found."

Having said that, Lu Donglai swallowed subconsciously, with a hint of fear and horror clearly revealed in his eyes.

Li Ji frowned even more and asked in confusion, "Only Captain Qinglong got into trouble, but everyone else who was accompanying him was all right?"

"Yes! No one in the group was hurt at all. Instead, it was the strongest Captain Qinglong who suffered a tragic disaster."

Lu Donglai didn't know whether to be thankful or sighing, his face was complicated: "The head of the Demon Suppression Division seemed to have realized this, so he only sent people below the level of the captain to track down the suspect for a few days, but in the end, nothing came of it, so he had to give up the investigation, and that's why he wanted to elect a new Qinglong captain."

"So, no matter who becomes the head of Qinglong Constable this time, he will have to take over this matter from now on?"

Li Ji asked again in confusion.

It is true that he chose to join the Demon Suppression Division because he wanted to slay demons and eliminate evil, but more importantly, he wanted to continue learning martial arts, continue to modify his martial arts, and continue to increase his strength.

But I didn't expect that the matter would be so complicated.

"Yes! Because the area where the accident happened is under the jurisdiction of Captain Qinglong, so only the newly appointed Captain Qinglong can be in charge."

Lu Donglai felt sad and sighed: "Although the rules are like this on the surface, it is inevitable that some people have dirty minds. So no matter whether you can sit on the position of Qinglong Constable or not, remember one thing - keep yourself out of trouble!"

"Thank you Uncle Lu for your advice."

Li Ji bowed and thanked him.

"Why do you uncle and nephew have to be so distant?"

Lu Donglai waved his hand and smiled, and continued: "I was a little busy before, and I didn't have time to ask you about your martial arts level. What is your current level of strength?"

Li Ji was silent for a while, then he said after careful consideration: "Since I have mastered martial arts, I have rarely fought with outsiders, so I should be at... the true level?!"

Real level!

The three realms of demons and monsters are [True Seed], [Dragon Realm], and [Holy Lord].

Both the red-haired young man and Lady Qingshan are at the true seed level. He can kill them both, so he should be strong, not weak.

"True level?!"

Lu Donglai looked surprised and said with a strange expression: "To be honest, nephew, I have never heard of such a realm."

Li Ji's eyes changed, and he asked in confusion: "Uncle Lu, is there no new realm after martial arts reaches the Refining Organs Realm?"

"I don't know that."

Lu Donglai pondered for a moment, "As far as I know, there are only three realms for warriors: [Body Refining], [Blood Moving], and [Organ Refining]. In particular, warriors at the Organ Refining realm are considered top masters in the Great Yan Dynasty. Their numbers are extremely rare and can be counted on one hand.

Is the internal organs refining realm the pinnacle of the mortal world?
Li Ji's heart sank. No wonder the world was so difficult.

"Forget it. Since my nephew doesn't know his own strength, and I can't test it here, I won't ask any more questions. But if someone asks in the future, don't mention anything like the true level or anything like that."

Lu Donglai smiled, which was rare.

"I see."

Li Ji is quick to follow advice.

Next, Lu Donglai analyzed the situation of other contestants in the competition, and then turned around and left with a sense of relief.

Time passed quickly. For three days, Li Ji wandered around Wuling County and learned about the surrounding situation.

Wuling County is divided into four regions: east, south, west, north and south. In the center sits the majestic Demon-Suppression Division. In the southwest is the Lingjiang River, which is home to countless brothels and pleasure boats. The river is majestic and mighty, running straight from north to south. Merchant ships travel back and forth every day, and the county is prosperous with developed trade.

If there were no demons and monsters, Wuling County, with its unique geographical location, would be more than just a county.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Ji was woken up by Lu Donglai early in the morning, and they rushed along the street to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"My dear nephew, the Demon Suppression Division is located in the central part of Wuling County. Nearly 90% of the rich and powerful live here. It is a city within a city, prosperous and bustling. The location of this competition is in the square in front of the Demon Suppression Division."

Lu Donglai said.

Li Ji just smiled.

The gap between the rich and the poor exists in every era and it is not surprising. Even in the same city, different classes will have different impressions. Some people think that this is an era of revelry every night, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts are unheard of and just a joke. However, some people think that the world is difficult, and people are worried about their future at any time. They are struggling like ants and are too small.

It’s nearly two hours’ journey.

The two finally arrived at a busy street, with wooden attics and towering pavilions side by side, hawking sounds coming and going, people crowded around, and carriages and horses coming and going in an endless stream. There were rich young men in silk robes leading their lackeys, strolling around and walking their birds, and there were bosses in neat short coats, taking sesame cakes out of the oven with tongs...

bustling!

lively!

On both sides of the street entrance, there were men dressed in black, holding iron swords and spears, guarding them tightly. They were tall and strong, with sharp eyes and an imposing manner.

You can tell at a glance that they are all experts who have practiced martial arts for many years.

“It’s really prosperous!”

Li Ji couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Having seen demons and monsters wreaking havoc and people struggling to make a living, he originally thought that this was the way the world was.

Who would have thought that there existed such a prosperous and bustling place that perfectly matched one’s imagination of feudal society and ancient pavilions.

"Somehow, every time I come here, I feel a sense of envy and sadness."

Lu Donglai had a complicated expression: "This is a world full of demons and monsters, and we should all be struggling, but there is a huge difference between us..."

Li Ji also felt emotional, but didn't say anything.

Because the men stationed on guard were already walking towards their position.

Lu Donglai immediately took out a token and was able to bring Li Ji into the bustling street.

The two walked for a long time before they arrived at a huge square.

The entire square was filled with waving flags and densely populated with people. There were at least hundreds of people gathered there, with swords, spears, and halberds sticking out of them, shining coldly.

There is a huge platform in the center.

Sitting on the high platform was an old man, wearing a suit of dark armor, with thick white hair, a sturdy body, and sharp eyes, like a majestic lion without even getting angry.

Below this old man who looked like a white-haired mad demon, sat three people with different looks and auras.

One was a young man wearing white scale armor.

One is a gorgeous young woman in red.

A middle-aged man in a long blue robe with a proud look on his face.

Below them stood the detectives from the Demon Suppression Division, who were neatly arranged, full of energy, with bright eyes and a strong aura.
