I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 148 - 100: Sandwich from Both Sides! Lin Catcher Warms Up! (Two-in-One)

Chapter 148: Chapter 100: Sandwich from Both Sides! Lin Catcher Warms Up! (Two-in-One)

"Are you the one who chopped?"

The Green Robed Tributor furrowed his brows, sizing up Chen Mo, "You’re young but your tone is big. Do you know what a Ji-level Demon Clan represents?"

Aside from the scattered demons, most of the Demon Clan reside in the Northern Wilderness, akin to a nation of demons.

The hierarchy in the wilderness is incredibly strict, above the ordinary demons and Evil Spirits, there exists a more powerful group, named after the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches.

They are not only mighty in strength but also possess various bizarre abilities.

The Demon Suppression Department had once encountered a Geng Level demon whose strength had reached fourth-rank, extremely difficult to deal with, and even after deploying five Third-class Tributors, they couldn’t hold it back.

How strong would that Ji-level demon be?

At least at the peak of fourth-rank!

The Green Robed Tributor asked with a frown, "You haven’t answered me yet, which department are you from? Wait, that outfit... Sky Scale Guard? Who let you in?"

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Li Siya walked up to Chen Mo’s side, cleared his throat, and spoke, "Everyone might have heard of his name, he is Chen Mo of the Sky Scale Guard, Mr. Chen."

?!

Upon these words, silence fell instantly in the hall.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Chen Mo, their expressions slowly turning from confusion to fervor, as if a customer who had been abstinent for three years suddenly saw an Oiran.

"You’re Mr. Chen?!"

The previously speaking Green Robed Tributor’s face changed rapidly, his smile bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he strode over to Chen Mo in two steps, bowing with folded hands:

"I am Qi Yifeng, a Third-class Tributor. I have long admired the great name of Hundred Households Chen!"

"Sacrificing yourself to feed the demons, slaying the transformed Demon Python, such bravery is indeed rare in this world! Seeing you today is truly seeing a standout among men!"

"..."

Chen Mo was momentarily speechless.

Have all these tributors undergone professional training? Why does everyone know how to suck up?

But to be honest, it feels quite comfortable...

"Hundred Households Chen, how did you discover the Demon Energy on the body of Lin Huai, the minor official from the Ministry of Construction? Even the Honorable Counselor almost missed it."

"How did you know the Zhou Family was illicitly mining at Red Sand Mine?"

"That Nine Palace Cloud Covering Array was so covertly arranged, yet you spotted the clues in an instant..."

People crowded around him, bombarding him with questions.

Their mentality was the same as the initial Li Siya.

For the Demon Suppression Department, demon slaying is a top priority; if they could learn even a trick or two from Chen Mo, wouldn’t dealing with the Demon Clan be a piece of cake in the future?

Li Siya blinked, whispering, "Brother Chen, I told you, you’re a highly influential person in our Demon Suppression Department."

Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, "I see that now."

"Enough."

Li Siya interrupted, "Serious matters first... Brother Chen, have you previously fought with that demon?"

Everyone became solemn again.

Ji-level demons were extremely dangerous; it was not a joking matter!

Chen Mo nodded, saying, "That demon, for some reason, fought against the people from the Gu God Sect, was poisoned by Gu Poison, and then I slashed its body into pieces. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not last long."

Hiss!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

They naturally wouldn’t doubt the words directly from Chen Mo’s mouth.

Being able to severely injure a Ji-level demon to near death, and himself remaining unscathed, such strength and methods... truly lived up to his great reputation!

"We’ve already sent people along the Canglan River upstream to chase them, but so far, no news has come."

"If it hasn’t already perished, then possibly others from its kind have responded... The purpose of this demon might be related to the Dragon Qi of Linglan County..."

Li Siya stroked his chin, pondering slightly.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the sound of wind swept through.

A hawk flew in from the window into the hall, landing on the table with a jade stone in its beak.

Li Siya reached out to take the jade, injecting Primordial Qi into it.

After a moment, his expression slightly shocked.

"It’s a message from Team Four."

"Traces of the Demon Clan have been discovered in the north, a large number, moving along Canglan River, almost crossing Hengjiang Ridge!"

Hengjiang Ridge stretched for thousands of miles, marking the boundary between the Northern Border and the Central Plains.

Crossing Hengjiang Ridge and passing Yunfu State would enter the heartland of Great Yuan, could it possibly be targeting Tiandu City again?

"These beasts are getting bolder!"

"This matter should be reported to the Honorable Counselor immediately!"

At this moment, an indifferent voice echoed through the air:

"Groups Three and Five, head north to support Group Four, encircle and kill the Demon Clan, do not let them enter Yunfu territory."

"By your command, Honorable Counselor!"

All tributors responded.

The voice paused, then continued:

"The movements of the Demon Clan are unpredictable and mysterious. If Hundred Households Chen is willing to join, the Demon Suppression Department will surely reward heavily afterward."

Everyone unanimously looked towards Chen Mo.

Heading north to slay demons?

Right now, I’m not particularly short on True Spirits, and I still have three unused Dao Essence Crystals.

Moreover, this isn’t a Government task, handling it won’t earn much merit, the so-called "heavy reward" sounds like an empty promise, trying to make me a hard worker with mere words...

Just as Chen Mo was secretly contemplating, a prompting text flashed before his eyes.

[Triggered Special Event: Hunting Demons!]

"Ah, the timing couldn’t be better..."

Although there’s no penalty for failing the event, the previous sweet outcomes still tempted him.

Chen Mo made his decision, and firmly stated: "The Honorable Counselor is too kind, slaying demons is also a duty of the Sky Scale Guard, if I encounter them, I naturally cannot ignore."

A male voice came from above: "Good."

Immediately, a stream of light passed by, and a jade token floated in front of Chen Mo.

"This is the token of the Demon Suppression Department, capable of distant communication and sensing directions, Hundred Households Chen, prepare yourself, gather at the East City Gate in two hours," the male voice said.

Chen Mo reached out and touched it, the jade token merged into his palm, forming a complicated dark pattern, which was a unique mark of the Demon Suppression Department Tributors.
