The 37th Exorcism Order

  "Master, what kind of opportunity is it?" Peng Cheng couldn't suppress his inner curiosity.

  Peng Feng's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and he said: "The Qingyun mountain range on the border of Qi and Wei has always been a place where demons and beasts run rampant. The imperial court has repeatedly sent troops to exterminate them, but none have been effective. Even half a year ago, the empire's brave general Mou Xing led 500 elite soldiers into the Qingyun mountain range, and in the end, not one of them returned alive!"

  "Qingyun Mountain Range?"

  Peng Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "That legendary place, the forbidden land where star-level magical beasts roam in the depths of the forest?"

  "Yes!"

  Peng Feng smiled slightly: "This time, I plan to let the new disciples of the Huo Shen clan go for training. You and Yue Er will accompany each other, remember, you can only walk within a hundred miles of the outer boundary of Qingyun Mountain Range, never venture deeper, otherwise you will encounter magical beasts above level 7!"

  Peng Cheng revealed a hint of a triumphant smile: "In other words, we can use entering the Qingyun Mountains as an excuse to lure Ye Yang that little brat there and then strike him down!?"

  Peng Feng said calmly, "With your strength, it might be a bit difficult, so I will dispatch another strong person to accompany you. While protecting you and Yue Er, we will also ensure that Ye Yang can enter the Qingyun Mountains alive, but not return!"

  "Yes, I understand!"

  Peng Cheng revealed a sly smile, with resentment and venom in his eyes.

  ……

  Ye Family Refinery, crowded with people.

  Ye Yang brought back a batch of precious blades, and with the addition of Ye Family's smelting workshop acquiring a five-grade blade known as the Ice Charmer, this matter spread like wildfire and shook Lang City. It seemed that people were saying that there was a master swordsmith helping the declining Ye Family, a clan that had experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, and it seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope for its revival.

  However, at night, a notice was posted in various places in Liang City - The Demon-Slaying Order!

  The Great Qin Empire is plagued by internal troubles and external threats, with strong enemies eyeing them covetously and the people seething with discontent. The Qiong cloud mountain range within its borders has become a haven for demonic beasts to wreak havoc, posing a great threat to the empire's livelihood and security. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict to eliminate demons, ordering the autonomous cities of Wan, Peng, Linzi, Handan, and Daliang to dispatch heroes and brave warriors to the Qiong cloud mountain range to slay the demonic beasts.

  The Demon-Slaying Order of Liang City was personally issued by the city lord, Pang Jing. It listed 500 heroes and warriors from Liang City to embark on an adventure in the Qingyun Mountains. Among them, 20 were new talents from the Fire God clan, while the Ye family had only one name left - Ye Yang!

  "Boom!"

  Ye Nan Tian slammed his palm heavily on the table and angrily said: "What does that old scoundrel Pang Jing mean? Zi Yu has just gone through the great war of the Fire God Altar, his injuries are not healed yet, and he actually wants to let Zi Yu enter the extremely perilous Qing Yun mountain range?"

  Ye Beicheng put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "Brother, look at the official document's details. After entering the Qingyun Mountain Range, killing a fourth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and appointed as a Ting Chang. Killing a fifth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver and appointed as a Qi Fu. Killing a sixth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and appointed as a Zhi Yun officer. Killing a seventh-level demon beast will be rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver and appointed as a County Magistrate. Killing an eighth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver and appointed as a County Lieutenant. Killing a ninth-level demon beast will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and appointed as a Prefectural Governor. And killing a Starry Sky-level demon beast will result in being summoned by the Emperor himself and appointed as an Imperial General!"

  Saying so, Ye Beicheng smiled and said: "Brother, haven't you always wanted the Ye family to bring glory to our ancestors? This time, the opportunity has really come!"

  Ye Nan Tian furrowed his brow and said: "I have only this bit of flesh and blood in my life, how can I bear to let him go to the Qingyun Mountains?"

  Ye Beicheng took a deep breath and said, "Brother, a precious sword is forged in the fire of adversity. Without experiencing trials and tribulations, how can Zi Yu grow? Moreover, both you and I are aware that Zi Yu is an extraordinary talent, his cultivation is not ordinary, he is not someone to be kept by one's side. Instead of keeping him here, why not let him go out into the world to gain experience?"

  Ye Nan Tian's expression was anxious, but he gradually calmed down and nodded: "Prepare for Zi Yu to pack his bags. Tomorrow morning, head to the City Master's Mansion and set off for Qing Yun Mountain Range!"

  "Good!"

  ……

  Backyard residence.

  Ye Yang sat upright on the bed, his hands pressed against his knees, his entire body circulating with the Fire God's true energy. Every movement was accompanied by a thread of lightning radiance, emitting a faint "crackling" sound.

  Outside the window, a bright and clear moon.

  On the windowsill, a beautiful woman with a fiery red cloak sat there, one long leg hooked over the edge of the curtain, perfect curves stunningly beautiful.

  "Hey, Ye Yang, you're leaving for Qingyun Mountains tomorrow?" asked Zeng Xuan with a smile.

  Ye Yang didn't open his eyes, he just nodded slightly: "Uh-huh."

  Zong Xuan smiled and said, "But I've heard that the Qingyun Mountain Range is infested with demonic beasts. Let me tell you, the Fire Jiao is only considered a low-level beast in the Qingyun Mountains. Deep within the mountains, eighth-grade and ninth-grade demonic beasts roam in packs. It's said that deep within the mountains, a young dragon has been spotted, which is born as a Starry Sky-grade high-level demonic beast! If you were to encounter it, you'd definitely be torn into shreds..."

  Ye Yang's facial muscles twitched: "Zhu Xuan sister, I'm going out for a trip, can't you say something nice? For example, have a smooth journey, happy travels and all that?"

  "Ah," said Zong Xuan with a smile, "you little stinker, how about I accompany you to Qingyun Mountain? That way, even if you encounter a Starry Sky-level magical beast, you won't have to be alarmed. After all, your sister is a third-level Starry Sky cultivator!"

  Ye Yang shook his head and said, "No, Zhen Xuan sister, you stay in Liang City. I'm always worried that the Peng family will be unfavorable to the Ye family. If you stay in Liang City, I'll feel at ease!"

  Zhu Xuan's face was slightly angry, her beautiful eyebrows raised: "You stinky little boy, what do you take me, Zhu Xuan, for? Are we the Ye family's guardians or something? How could the eldest miss of the magnificent Huo Shen clan fall to such a state?"

  Ye Yang opened his eyes, a pair of eyes with a faint golden glow, that was the first stage of the Fire God Warrior's transformation - Crimson Flame!

  "Ah? Ye Yang, you can already freely control the transformation of the first heavy boundary?"

  Ye Yang nodded: "Just a bit laborious!"

  Qin Fang's soul burst out and laughed: "Zi Yu, have you controlled your anger?"

  He swung his right fist, and the ancient runes appeared and disappeared. This was the prelude to transformation. Ye Yang smiled slightly: "Letting oneself rage calmly and controlling it can indeed find that critical point of transformation. However, I still need more attempts to elevate my power after transformation to its peak!"

  Qin Fang nodded and burst out laughing, his eyes full of approval: "In my thousands of years of life, I have seen countless talented cultivators, but you, Zi Yu, are the most intelligent person I have ever met!"

  Ye Yang Teng stood up, his sleeves fluttering, a pair of clear and profound golden eyes filled with determination, smiling faintly: "The journey to the Qingyun Mountains must be fraught with danger, okay, let me see what kind of tricks Peng Feng and City Master Pang Jing are playing!"
