Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Chapter 398 Horse tramples on Cining Temple

As for the Qingzhou Demon Slaying Division, they had already received the news that Gu Yan was coming here with the strong men in the division with murderous intent.

In the main hall of the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Department, Ai Tao looked at the Qingzhou guard, Haoran Sword Master Lu Muzhong, who was closing his eyes to rest, and said

"Master Lu, Gu Yan's attack this time is so aggressive and he has brought so many strong men from Hanzhou with him. He may be planning to destroy Cining Temple directly. Should we send someone to persuade him?"

Hearing Ai Tao's words, Lu Muzhong slowly opened his eyes and said lightly

"Don't worry about it. Cining Temple is looking for death. Those bald donkeys have been dominating Qinglin County for so many years. It's time for them to die."

Although Lu Muzhong's words were plain, he revealed a strong murderous intent.

Apparently it was the behavior of the monks in Cining Temple that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Muzhong was the governor of Yizhou, and he maintained his identity and did not take action against those bald donkeys. Now that Gu Yan is here, it just suits his wishes, how can he send someone to persuade him?

What's more, no one from the imperial capital was sent to stop Gu Yan, so he wouldn't even care.

"I will be in seclusion for a few days. People from Qinglin County's Demon Slayer Division may come later. Then you can just ask them to turn a blind eye."

After Lu Muzhong finished speaking, before Ai Tao could say anything, his figure disappeared directly from the spot.

Ai Tao could only helplessly shake his head when he saw this. The Qingzhou governor has been a little anxious recently.

Among the ten states of the Demon Slayer Division, only in Qingzhou, there is a force that the Demon Slayer Division cannot suppress, the Chunyang Sect.

After Chunyang Taoist Qinghao broke through to the second realm, Lu Muzhong also began to retreat frequently in an attempt to break through as soon as possible and catch up with Qinghao's realm.

......

Sure enough, as Lu Muzhong expected, people from the Qinglin County Demon Slayer Division came that afternoon.

Cui Chen, the commander of the Demon Slaying Department of Qinglin County, strode into the Demon Slaying Hall. When he saw Ai Tao sitting in the hall, he bowed and asked

"Master Ai, may I ask Master Lu?"

Aitao smiled slightly and said

"Master Cui is here for Master Gu?"

Cui Chen was not surprised at all when he heard Ai Tao point out his purpose in one sentence. After all, the Demon Slayer Department of his county and city had received the news, and it was impossible for the higher-level Demon Slayer Department of the prefecture to not know about it.

"Master Ai is right. The official is indeed here for Master Gu. Master Gu has brought so many strong men with him and is coming with great force. I'm worried..."

Aitao picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said

"What are you worried about? Will there be trouble in Qinglin County? Mr. Cui, although our Qingzhou Demon Slayer Division is not as powerful as Chunyang Sect, don't forget that our Demon Slayer Division still has the final say in this world. No matter how strong Chunyang Dao Lord is, No stronger than the boss"

Hearing Ai Tao's words, Cui Chen nodded repeatedly and said

"Yes, yes, Master Ai is right."

Ai Tao put down his teacup and took a deep look at Cui Chen.

"Master Cui, I know that you have been friends with several eminent monks in Cining Temple for many years, but you must pay attention to your position. You should leave Master Gu's affairs alone."

Cui Chen's heart tightened when he heard what Ai Tao said. He has indeed become quite close to Jianghu forces in recent years and has received a lot of gifts. Qingzhou Mansion has always turned a blind eye. Didn't care about him

But now he is a colleague of Hanzhou Prefecture, preparing to take action against Jianghu forces. If there is a problem with his position at this time, then this commander will probably be in trouble.

Cui Chen bowed deeply to Ai Tao and said at the same time

"Master Ai's lesson is that Cui Chen will definitely remember it in his heart."

Seeing that Cui Chen's attitude was quite upright, Ai Tao nodded lightly and said

"The Jianghu in Qinglin County are united as one. After learning that Gu Yan is coming, many Jianghu forces will probably come to ask you for justice. You know what to do, right?"

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."

......

In the early morning, the entire Qinglin County was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, as if some scourge was coming.

Elders and sect leaders from various sects had already gathered outside the door of Qinglin County's Demon Slaying Division, but the gate of the Demon Slaying Division was tightly closed.

This group of middle-aged people crowded at the door and asked the guard

"Brother, where is Master Cui?"

"Yes, where is Mr. Cui? We have something urgent to find him."

"Little brother, please go in and find Mr. Cui. We really have something important."

"..."

The guard at the door couldn't bear the annoyance of these sect people. He suddenly pulled out a demon-slaying knife from his waist and shouted coldly.

"I've told you hundreds of times, Mr. Cui has official duties and has gone to the Demon Slaying Department in the state capital. If you have the courage, go to the state capital to find him, or get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword."

As soon as the guard at the door finished speaking, the door of the Demon Slayer Department suddenly opened, and hundreds of Demon Slayers rushed out quickly, pointing the gleaming Demon Slayer Swords at all the sect members.

When the people of these sects saw that the Demon Slayer Division had turned on the real fire, they all closed their mouths and left angrily.

Cui Chen, who was sitting in the Demon Slaying Hall, drank tea leisurely and murmured:

"Don't blame me for being unethical. I have to keep my official position."

......

Today, Cining Temple is extremely quiet. There is not a single pilgrim. The monks in the temple have also prepared their preparations early.

Although several eminent monks in the temple had no expressions on their faces and were still reading scriptures, as if they didn't care about the upcoming Hanzhou Demon Slayer Division, in fact, they were already in a mess in their hearts.

Kasyapa, the presiding master of Cining Temple, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the red sky to the northwest of Cining Temple, and said

"Master Gu from Hanzhou is here. Follow me out to greet you."

The eminent monks who were sitting cross-legged on futons and chanting sutras beside them stood up one after another when they heard Kasyapa's words and followed Kasyapa to the outside of Cining Temple.

......

Outside Cining Temple, the gravel on the ground began to beat slightly, and a thunderous sound of horse hooves quickly approached here.

After a while, the Black Dragon Flag of the Demon Slayer Division appeared at the end of the sky.

The warriors who were watching the excitement outside Cining Temple felt the pressure of the galloping horses and retreated repeatedly.

The strong man from the Demon Slayer Division appeared at the end of the line of sight, and within a few breaths, he arrived outside Cining Temple.

At this time, the demon-suppressing Lord Kasyapa also walked out of Cining Temple with the eminent monks and warrior monks in the temple.

Kasyapa looked at Gu Yan with a murderous look on his face, inserted his Zen staff on the ground, clasped his hands and said

"Amitabha, may I ask if this gentleman is Lord Gu, the Marquis of Dingnan?"

Gu Yan sat on the horse, looked at Kasyapa with squinted eyes, and said coldly

"Old bald donkey, stop talking nonsense and hand over the monk who injured my sister, otherwise I will destroy your Cining Temple today!"

Hearing Gu Yan speak in such an rude tone, a senior monk next to Kasyapa suddenly said angrily

"Gu Yan! The host respects you for guarding one side and making great contributions to the human race, so I want to speak kindly to you. Don't be too rude!"

After the eminent monk finished speaking, thunder suddenly surged above the sky, and a barrel-thick thunder pillar broke through the sky and violently struck down at the eminent monk.

Gu Yan didn't have the intention to talk nonsense with him. If he dared to yell at him, he would just strike him with lightning!

Seeing this, Kassapa quickly grasped the Zen staff inserted beside him, swung it suddenly, and scattered the thunder.

Kasyapa clasped his hands together and said apologetically

"Master Gu, please calm down. It's not that I refuse to hand over the monk who injured Miss Dugu, but that he was killed by the Sword Fairy from Huaizhou a few days ago."
