Inside the Demon Suppressing Barracks, columns were mobilized and began to assemble. The entire barracks was filled with a murderous aura.
"What's going on?" Chen Zong, who was focused on cultivation, also felt the murderous aura and was surprised.
Then, Chen Zong received a notice that the chief had summoned him.
When Chen Zong arrived at the chief's hall, there were already many people inside. They were all wearing Demon Slaying Suits, including Murong Zhen, whom Chen Zong had met once, and Xiang Liang, who had brought Chen Zong into the Demon Slaying Division.
"Brother Chen, you're here too," Xiang Liang immediately greeted him.
"Brother Xiang, do you know why the chief has summoned us?" Chen Zong couldn't help but ask. Xiang Liang seemed to know a lot about information.
"Brother Chen, you don't know?" Xiang Liang was slightly startled and asked.
"I don't know." Chen Zong didn't evade the question.
"Then you'll know soon enough." Xiang Liang smiled and looked very mysterious. For someone like him who liked to share information, this mysterious approach was undoubtedly like a cat scratching at his heart. It was unbearable.
Chen Zong didn't expect Xiang Liang to answer like this.
At this time, a gust of wind seemed to blow, and a figure appeared in the hall. He sat on the main seat, and his figure seemed to be covered by clouds and mist. It was impossible to see clearly, only a blur.
"Greetings to the chief."
Everyone quickly reacted and bowed.
"No need to be so polite." The chief's powerful and indifferent voice sounded in everyone's ears. "I've summoned you here because of the demon wave."
"Demon wave?" Chen Zong didn't understand, but when he saw that the others didn't look surprised at all, as if they already knew something, he couldn't help but be speechless. During this time, he seemed to have been too focused on cultivation.
"The last demon wave was twenty years ago. It was the first and second layers of the Earth Demon Abyss, but this demon wave is larger in scale than the last. It's the first three layers of the Earth Demon Abyss, and according to detection, it seems that the fourth layer of the Earth Demon Abyss is also surging," the chief said unhurriedly, and every word was clearly heard by everyone.
"When the demonic tide rises, it is also the time to make contributions."
"During this period, killing demons and demons will earn you double the merit points. After you return, depending on your performance, you will be rewarded with a million to ten million merit points."
"All of you Limiteers need to move out now and head to the Demon Suppression Camp. Reinforce the camp and slaughter the devils."
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison with excitement in their voices. Chen Zong's heart was beating wildly.
How shocking was the reward of a million to ten million contribution points?
"Brother Chen, double the merit points. Haha, this time, I'm going to earn a lot of merit points. Otherwise, it won't be enough." Xiang Liang was extremely excited.
"Don't get killed by demons before you can earn any merits." A voice came from the side, seemingly mocking Xiang Liang.
"Then let's compete and see who gets the most merit points in the end," Xiang Liang immediately retorted.
"Alright, then let's compete. Whoever has less contribution points will give the other party one million contribution points," the other person quickly said.
"Then it's decided." Xiang Liang didn't hesitate at all.
The bet of one million contribution points in an instant made Chen Zong speechless.
Even if it was double the merit points, the merit points gained from killing low level demons was limited. At most, it would increase from ten to a hundred to twenty to two hundred. In order to earn one million contribution points, they would have to kill at least five thousand low level king level demons.
Were there that many low level king level demons?
No.
If it was to kill low level ninth level demons, they would have to kill even more.
It wasn't that easy for Limiteers of the Limiteers to kill low level ninth level demons. After all, those demons wouldn't just stand there and let themselves be killed without any resistance.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult to earn one million contribution points from killing demons. It would only be easier when one reached the Earthly Spirit Realm. Only when one reached the Profound Sky Realm would it be easier.
The bet between the two was one million contribution points. In the end, they would have to use the rewards they would receive based on their performance. The prerequisite was that they had to come back alive and perform well.
This time, the Demon Slayers were all at the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Earthly Spirit Realm.
"Brother Chen, I guess you don't know much about the people in the Demon Slayers." Xiang Liang retracted his gaze and turned to Chen Zong with a smile.
"Indeed." Chen Zong couldn't help but smile. Ever since he joined the Demon Slayers, Chen Zong hadn't spent much effort to understand the people in the Demon Slayers. Instead, he had devoted all of his attention to cultivation.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't have been the case. Just thinking about it made him feel ashamed.
"There is currently one chief in the Demon Slayers. We have five Grand Ministers, twenty Middle Ministers, and eighty Lower Ministers." Xiang Liang said to Chen Zong as they hurried along. "The person who made the bet with me seemed to be at odds with me, but that's not the case. We're actually on good terms."
"The eighty Lower Ministers are all at the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Middle Ministers. Two of them are at the Limiteers of the Earthly Spirit Realm and the Profound Heaven Realm. I heard that the five Grand Ministers are all at the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm."
There weren't many people in the Demon Slayers Division, but every one of them was an elite among the elites. Every one of them had unique talents and abilities. Ordinary warriors couldn't compare to them.
What surprised Chen Zong was that two of the sixty Middle Ministers were at the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Middle Ministers.
One of them was Murong Zhen. Chen Zong had heard the chief mention this before, but he didn't know who the other person was.
"One of the two Middle Ministers at the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Limiteers of the Demonic Race. He's a half-demon." Xiang Liang said frankly and confidently, but he used the Sound Transmission Technique so that no one else could hear him. "Brother Chen, have you heard of the Half-Demons?"
"The Half-Demons were originally born from the Demonic Race and the Human Race. They have the appearance of the Human Race and some of the Demonic Race's blood. They can practice Demonic Ability and some Demonic Martial Arts. But because their appearance and blood are not pure enough, the Half-Demons are not recognized by the Demonic Race. They are regarded as a lowly race by the Demonic Race."
"A long time ago, the Half-Demons were also not recognized by the Human Race because they have the blood of the Demonic Race. But when the Demonic Race attacked the earth's surface, the Half-Demons also fought against the Demonic Race. In the end, they paid a great price to defeat the Demonic Race. After that, the Half-Demons were truly recognized by the Human Race."
"However, not all of the Human Race recognized the Half-Demons, and not all of the Half-Demons recognized the Human Race. After all, the Half-Demons have the blood of the Demonic Race. Their talent and potential surpassed many of the Human Race when they were born. Therefore, many of the Half-Demons looked down on the Human Race. It was inevitable that conflicts would break out between the two sides. In the end, in order to avoid internal friction, the experts of the Human Race and the Half-Demons negotiated and divided an area for the Half-Demons. The Half-Demons also cultivated in that area."
"Murong Zhen's talent is so high that he is among the top of the Half-Demons. Even in the Human Race, he is at the top of the God's Favored Son level." Xiang Liang praised sincerely, "As for Murong Zhen, I have met him several times. He is not easy to get along with and has an indifferent temperament. Moreover, he has an extraordinary determination and will to pursue power. He is a very scary person."
Xiang Liang's tone was full of fear. People who were obsessed with power or even paranoid about it had terrifying determination and will. They were willing to pay any price for power. If you were to make an enemy of such a person, you would be in big trouble unless you could kill him in one blow.
"Then what about the other person?" Chen Zong could not help but ask.
"The other person is called Wuma You An." Xiang Liang said with a bitter smile on his face. Chen Zong did not understand why.
"Murong Zhen is a Half-Demon, but Wuma You An is a Half-Demon."
"Half-Demon!" Chen Zong could not help but be startled. No matter how he looked at it, it was not a pure Human Race.
As the name implied, the Half-Demon was born a long time ago from a powerful Demonic Race and the Human Race.
It was said that when the Demonic Race reached a certain level of strength, they could transform into the appearance of a human and reproduce with a human.
The Half-Demon who possessed the Demonic Race's bloodline had astonishing talent and potential, surpassing the majority of the Human Race.
"Like the Half-Demon Race, the Half-Demon Race also has their own territory," Xiang Liang said.
Chen Zong looked at Wuma You An.
Wuma You 'an's figure was incomparably sturdy. He looked like a small hill. As he moved, the air around him was compressed, causing bursts of explosions. He emitted an extremely terrifying aura fluctuation. This kind of aura was different from the aura of spiritual energy and also different from the aura of demonic energy.
The Demonic Race who transformed from Demonic Beasts into humans possessed powerful Demonic Energy. The Half-Demon Race also cultivated Demonic Energy.
In essence, both Demonic Energy and Demonic Energy surpassed the Demonic Energy of the Human Race.
As if sensing Chen Zong's gaze, Wuma You An turned his head. When his eyes met with Chen Zong's, a trace of sharpness shot out. That sharpness carried an astonishing pressure, causing Chen Zong's expression to change slightly.
Immediately after, Wuma You An grinned at Chen Zong and turned back.
"I have to say, it's very sad. In our Demon Slayers Division, there are only two Extreme Mortal Realm martial artists in the Middle Division, but neither of them are humans." Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh.
It wasn't that he was biased against races, but whether it was Murong Zhen or Wuma You An, they weren't pure humans. It was inevitable that he felt helpless.
"Brother Chen, do you know why they were able to become Middle Division Officers despite being Extreme Mortal Realm martial artists?" Xiang Liang suddenly asked.
"Brother Xiang, please enlighten me," Chen Zong said.
"Because they are both King-Ranked martial artists." Xiang Liang's expression was extremely serious and solemn.
"King-Ranked!" Chen Zong froze and was shocked.
Murong Zhen and Wuma You 'an were actually both King-Ranked formidable martial artists. This shocked Chen Zong. However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If they weren't King-Ranked formidable martial artists, how could they surpass the other Extreme Mortal Realm martial artists and become Middle Secretaries?
For example, his Eldest Senior Brother Tang Gu 'ao was a King-Ranked martial artist, but he was also a battle general. Many Demon Suppression Soldiers couldn't compare to him.
After all, almost all of the other battle generals were in the Profound Heaven Realm.
"King-Ranked!" Chen Zong muttered to himself, his eyes shining brightly.
King-Ranked martial artists!
This was his first goal.
