Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

The Demon Quelling Marquis was a force independent of all the Thousand Households under the Demon Suppression Division.

They reported directly to the Grand Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and apart from that figure, even the Supervisory Thousand Households, who were specifically responsible for internal law enforcement, had no right to interfere.

Every Demon Quelling Marquis, upon being selected, would directly receive a noble title from the Great Wei Dynasty.

Their status and position were on par with those of the imperial relatives and nobles, the lifelong pursuit of civil and military officials was merely a starting point for them.

The 'Marquis' in Demon Quelling Marquis was not just a term of respect.

But along with this honor came immense responsibility.

The only task of the Demon Quelling Marquis was to slay demons.

On the plains of the Northern Region, in the mountains of the Southern Border, in the waves of the Eastern Sea, in the demon kingdoms of the West, as long as the Demon Suppression Division judged a demon to be a threat to the dynasty, no matter where it was, no matter how many Demon Quelling Marquises' lives it took, it had to be killed.

This was the sharpest sword of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The number of people in this sword had been fixed since its establishment, only sixty people, ten teams.

However, the composition of its members changed almost every year, and some teams were completely renewed in just one year.

Because their mission was too dangerous.

But even so, countless Demon Suppression Division officers throughout the Great Wei territory dreamed of joining it.

Because once selected, they would receive the most top-notch cultivation techniques and martial arts, and their cultivation resources would be almost limitless. As long as the Great Wei Dynasty had it, they could take it almost endlessly.

Status, cultivation needs, as long as you become a member of the Demon Quelling Marquis, you will not lack anything.

Correspondingly, the requirements for their selection were also extremely strict.

Every five years, the Demon Quelling Marquis would recruit three hundred people from across the Great Wei to be absorbed as Demon Quelling Marquis candidates.

These candidates were not considered official Demon Quelling Marquises at first, and needed to undergo life-and-death trials, while improving their cultivation, and waiting.

Waiting for some of the Demon Quelling Marquises ahead to die, creating vacancies.

Even for these candidates, the selection criteria were extremely strict.

First of all, they must have become a Treasure Nurturing Realm cultivator for less than a year.

Next, they had to go through numerous tests and stand out from countless competitors in order to become one of these three hundred candidates.

At this moment, Liu Jing asked somewhat puzzledly: "Will that Meng family allow their daughter to participate?"

The Meng family had many branches, and apart from the one who served as the Governor of You Province, there were also many people in the court who held high positions.

Such a wealthy family had long passed the stage of needing their younger generations to join the Demon Suppression Division to strive for merit.

"They are definitely unwilling," Yan Zeyu smiled and continued, "It's just that Prime Minister Zhang introduced a new rule this year, that aristocratic families above the third rank must recommend at least one junior disciple to participate in the Demon Quelling Marquis's trial every year, regardless of whether they can pass or not, they must recommend someone."

Hearing this, Liu Jing immediately smiled and said: "In that case, it makes sense, with Prime Minister Zhang's prestige, these aristocratic families will have to grit their teeth and accept it, no matter how unwilling they are."

Of course, major families could tell their children not to try their best during the trial, and just go through the motions.

But, that was impossible.

For those aristocratic families, reputation and face were far more important than one or two talented disciples.

If the disciples you sent were ranked at the bottom of the trial, the family's reputation would be damaged, which would directly affect the family's development.

Your sphere of influence would be encroached upon by other families, the talents who originally planned to join you would choose other destinations, and even the various resources distributed by the dynasty would be reduced accordingly.

Therefore, since they were forced to participate in the trial, these families would inevitably do their best, sending the most talented geniuses in the family to compete for the trial ranking.

But if this were the case...

Liu Jing's eyes rolled, and she chuckled, "Prime Minister Zhang's methods are truly bloodless."

The aristocratic families fought each other, sending their most talented disciples to the Demon Quelling Marquis team, which would inevitably affect their future development.

They were naturally clear in their hearts that this was Prime Minister Zhang's method of weakening the strength of the aristocratic families.

But even so, they could only bite the bullet and participate.

Participating would affect the future of the family, but not participating would directly affect the present of the family.

Moreover, no one could say for sure whether any of those geniuses who joined the Demon Quelling Marquis would survive until the end.

There were people who could survive in the Demon Quelling Marquis and eventually retire successfully.

For example, the current Grand Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, the Great General of the Great Wei...

Those people had all reached the pinnacle of martial arts and directly stood at the apex of the dynasty.

If such a person emerged, then the entire family would become the top predator in the entire Great Wei, sharing prosperity with the country.

"But speaking of which, this trial will inevitably be full of difficulties, the Meng family's little girl is fine, the Meng family will definitely give her the greatest support. This Shen Lin, with an ordinary background, do you think he has hope?"

As soon as Liu Jing asked this question, she found Yan Zeyu staring at her.

He slowly said: "That's why I sent someone to observe the situation of this kid Shen Lin, but..."

Liu Jing scratched the back of her head somewhat awkwardly, talking about other things.

"Hahaha, well, there will still be opportunities in the future, after all, the trial still needs some time, doesn't it? Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with, Lord Thousand Household, I'll take my leave then."

Watching Liu Jing leave in a fluster after leaving a sentence, Yan Zeyu shook his head helplessly and sat back behind the desk.

After absentmindedly dealing with one or two documents, he shook his head and stood up again, walking to the window.

Looking at the high-hanging full moon, he murmured: "Really... is it just to weaken the strength of the aristocratic families?"

At the same time, millions of miles away, in the Great Wei Imperial Capital, which was brightly lit and extremely prosperous, a burly man wearing armor and with a scar on his face asked the same question.

The spacious hall was brightly lit, and in the middle, there were more than a dozen dancers dressed scantily, dancing gracefully.

The Prime Minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, the man who held the greatest power in the dynasty, Zhang Qiuji, embraced beauties on both sides, happily drinking the fine wine brought over by the other party.

"If the Great General thinks so, then it is!"

He replied casually, and continued to caress the beauties next to him.

The Great General of the Great Wei Army, Duke Zhenguo Yuwen Fengxian, said helplessly: "I don't understand these things, isn't it because those guys are so annoying that they insisted on me coming to ask."

"Don't bother with those guys, Great General, come, let's drink this cup to the fullest!"

Zhang Qiuji smiled, just as he raised his glass, he suddenly coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Prime Minister Zhang????"

Yuwen Fengxian stood up immediately, but saw the other party wave his hand, indicating that it was okay.

"I'm old, this body is not as good as before."

Zhang Qiuji smiled, his eyes somewhat dazed, not knowing how far he was looking, and murmured: "General, what do you say, can I lead Great Wei to the other shore?"

"If Prime Minister Zhang can't, then our Great Wei will have no chance!"

Yuwen Fengxian, who stood at the pinnacle of Great Wei's martial arts, bowed his head with respect in the face of a mortal.
