Chapter 118 The Cautious Demon Slayer

Pan, who was far away in Qinglong City, put down the communication jade slip and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

He liked to tap the table when thinking. As for why he liked it, it might be because when he was weak, he met the high-level officials of the Zhuxie Division and saw them tapping the table. He remembered it silently in his heart. After becoming stronger, he subconsciously learned to tap the table.

He had seen many geniuses.

The East Wilderness was so vast and there were countless geniuses. There were countless geniuses in small places.

He had followed the footsteps of the previous generation of Yaoguang Star Envoy, fought in all directions, and went to the mysterious Middle-earth Continent. He had seen Tianjiao who was not a Star Envoy, but whose cultivation speed was not slower than that of ordinary Star Envoys, who could kill enemies above their level, and who could reversely kill Xifan at the peak of Rongshen! Kill enemies at a higher realm!

But he had never seen someone like Li Jiu.

Reversely kill Xifan at the early stage of Rongshen!

Li Jiu's tone was calm, as if he had not been injured yet.

He seemed to have misjudged Li Jiu's potential.

Pan suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, Wu Yue was rarely angry, quarreled with him, and even punched him.

‘Wu Yue saw Li Jiu’s potential early on, so she wanted to stop me. ’

Pan could understand Wu Yue’s thoughts. When he found an excellent seedling, his first thought must be to protect it and release it after it grows up to avoid being blown away by the strong wind.

Understanding is understanding, but Pan is not like Wu Yue.

“For people like him, fighting is the best catalyst.”

Pan picked up the helmet on the table. There were many marks on it. They were medals left after he had experienced hundreds of battles. The owners who left the marks were all killed by him, without exception.

“Man, soon, we can fight together again. I hope you and I can return.” Pan murmured in a low voice.

At the foot of Bailan Mountain

Xu Xian leaned against a pine tree, looking around from time to time.

"Where are the people? Why haven't they arrived yet? I've been waiting for a long time."

"What are the higher-ups thinking? They sent a silver medal demon slayer to deal with the demons on Bailan Mountain, and sent me as reinforcement. They think too highly of me."

Xu Zun muttered. He was not a top gold medal demon slayer. He had never handled a level 3 mission. Couldn't he wait until he broke through the Five Extremes and became a Universe-level demon slayer before carrying out a level 3 mission?

"Let's go."

The sudden voice startled Xu Zun. He instantly fled a hundred meters away. A set of black armor appeared on his body. He held a large copper hammer in one hand and a formation plate in the other.

"Who!" Xu Zun was tense. As long as the other party moved, he would flee immediately and never stop.

Li Jiu looked at Xu Zun's nervous look and skillful escape movements, and suddenly felt unreliable. Although he did not expect the other party to help him, Xu Zun did not look like a strong man who was supporting him, but rather like someone who was supported. "Are you the support sent by Pan?"

"Are you the silver medal demon slayer? When did you arrive? Why didn't I see any trace of you?"

Li Jiu pointed to the mountain, "I just came down."

"Ah!? The demon on Bailan Mountain ran away?"

"Dead."

A few minutes later, Xu Zun put away his armor and array disk, tidied his clothes, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to solve the demon by yourself. You are worthy of being a talent valued by Boss Pan. Since the mission is over, I will go back first."

"Wait, Pan said that you have to go to Zilong City with me."

Li Jiu's big hand fell on Xu Zun's shoulder, and Xu Zun suddenly felt a small mountain pressing on his shoulder.

What a great strength!

Another genius who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!

Xu Zun sensed the aura of Li Jiu's early stage of Rong Shen, and felt helpless. With such a strong power, could he be just a Rong Shen? There should be a bottom line for pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. It was too much to pretend to be an early stage of Rong Shen when he was obviously in the Xifan realm.

He thought it was enough to pretend to be a beginner in the middle stage of Xifan, but Li Jiu actually pretended to be a great realm.

"Zilong City? I don't..."

"You said you don't know the way. When you come back, Pan will throw away all the living dolls you have hidden at home." Li Jiu said.

The demon slayers deal with demons all year round, so it is inevitable that some people have a lonely personality and don't like to get along with others.

The living doll is a kind of puppet provided by the Tiangui Sect specifically for the Zhuxie Division. It has no combat ability and no intelligence. After refining the core of the doll, it can replace the servants to clean up and can do everything that the servants can do. It is deeply loved by some demon slayers.

Xu Zun is one of them.

According to Pan, Xu Zun hid hundreds of living puppets at home, each of which is different.

Xu Zun lowered his head, sighed, scratched his scalp hard, and looked extremely helpless, "How did Pan find it! I clearly asked someone to buy the living doll!"

Li Jiu retracted his hand, "Let's go, don't waste time."

"Tell me what happened in Zilong City, the content of our mission and the reward for merit." Xu Zun asked.

"It's not a big deal. Dozens of demons appeared in the small mine controlled by Zilong City, blocking the entrance to the mine. It is suspected that there are natural treasures that are beneficial to demons."

Xu Zun's mouth twitched twice, "The mine was attacked by demons? Is this a small matter? By the way, our task is to investigate the situation of the mine and the number of demons."

"It is to suppress the mine."

Xu Zun pointed at Li Jiu, then pointed at himself, and said hesitantly: "Just the two of us?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's just the two of us."

"Is Pan crazy? The two of us suppressed a small mine? You really think we are geniuses! I am just an ordinary demon slayer, and I haven't even killed a Xifan demon." Xu Zun said in disbelief.

"You are in the middle stage of Xifan, but you haven't killed any Xifan demons yet? The department should have assigned you a level 3 task." Li Jiu asked.

"It's too early to do a level 3 task in the middle stage of Xifan. I want to do a level 3 task when I reach the peak of Xifan or the Five Extremes. My real realm was discovered by the department recently, and I was promoted to a gold medal demon slayer." Xu Zun said truthfully.

Before, he had been pretending to be in the Rongshen realm and constantly doing level 2 tasks. His completion rate was very high. He completed nearly 400 level 2 tasks, and he completed 399 of them. One of them was not a failure, but the demon ran away in advance.

Li Jiu got a general understanding of Xu Zun through simple communication.

A very cautious demon slayer.

A character like Xu Zun must live longer than ordinary demon slayers, but the realm breakthrough will be much slower.

The resources of the Zhuxie Division are obtained through competition. If they are not fought, the resources will inevitably be less, which will affect the speed of cultivation.

He did not reject Xu Zun's approach and personality. Everyone has his own way of living. It is right to always strive for the first place, and it is also right to develop quietly. It is enough not to regret your life.

Xu Zun took out the map, found the safest route, and said to Li Jiu: "Please follow my footsteps."

After speaking

Xu Zun was like an old monkey in the forest. His figure moved on the tree trunk and disappeared in a few breaths.
