Chapter 3, The Demon-Slaying Division: Cang Fei Lan

He had never seen such a woman, with long black hair cascading down her back to her waist, a black scarf wrapped around her neck concealing her beautiful face, and those eyes that were exposed, glimmering with a faint blue light, enchanting enough to make one's heart race

The first transition of calamity power is akin to the ninth rank of the human race's Dao lineage, the second transition resembles the eighth rank, and so forth

Master of the Hundred Demons, Ninth Rank of Consuming Shadows, Eighth Rank of Observing Qi, Seventh Rank of Opening Ghostly Eyes, Discerning Demons and Recognizing Souls

There are indeed very few individuals like Young Master Qin who read the classics of sages with the intention of embarking on the path of literary sanctity

The others, upon hearing this, also turned to look.

"Young Master Qin, do you have any training in the Hundred Ghosts Dao?" Cang Feilan asked as she put away the bronze furnace

Looking at his mother, who appeared anxious and fearful, Qin An spoke up: "Father, Mother, Elder Brother, you can rest assured. With me here, the Qin residence will surely remain safe and sound"

The Demon-Slaying Order is further divided into the Wood Order, the Jade Order, and the Red Lotus Order, with each type of order categorized into one to three stars

"No wonder a curfew was implemented in Jinyang City four days ago." The second lady's face turned pale with fear as she tightly grasped Qin Jian'an's sleeve.

Cang Feilan shook her head, saying, "That malevolent entity possesses formidable strength. Conservatively estimating, it is likely at least comparable to the power of the third transformation of the Book of Changes, and it wields an extraordinarily swift and mysterious ability. By the time Lord Sizheng arrives, that malevolent entity will have long since vanished without a trace"

After all, after the second transformation of demons and monsters, they often give birth to their own innate divine abilities. If a human being of the same rank, who is a practitioner of the Dao, is not careful, they may lose their life on the spot

In this world, various schools of thought and strange abilities emerge endlessly. The opponent practices the Hundred Ghosts school; could it be that they can see through my soul's reincarnation?

Strange. Cang Fei Lan slightly furrowed her brows

Cang Feilan shook her head and spoke again: "Rest assured, everyone. Young Master Qin's three souls and seven spirits have not been harmed; it is just that his divine soul is exceptionally powerful, comparable to an eighth-grade practitioner of the Hundred Ghosts Path, which surprised me a little."

Qin Feng responded with a sound, then lifted the blanket and sat at the edge of the bed

At this moment, Cang Fei Lan has opened the Ghost Eye in order to observe Qin Feng's three souls and seven spirits

In the lineage of the human race, if we were to discuss which lineage possesses the strongest combat power beyond the sixth rank, then the Divine Martial lineage undoubtedly holds the title of the foremost.

The higher the level of the token, the more stars it possesses, which also signifies that the holder's status within the Demon Slayer Department is elevated, and their abilities are stronger

Qin Feng nodded and recounted all the vague memories of encountering the dark mist and evil spirits in his mind to Tu Shu

Upon hearing this, Cang Feilan slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. However, this emotion was quickly reined in, and she returned to her previous icy demeanor.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qin Feng displayed an envious expression. In order to survive in such chaotic times, relying solely on others is insufficient; only by enhancing one's own strength can one find peace of mind

In this small city of Jinyang, the other party possesses a three-star wooden token, which is already quite extraordinary

This is the Soul Stabilizing Incense, which can solidify the spirit. You should sit properly; I will examine your three souls and seven spirits. Thus instructed by Cang Feilan, she then brought her fingers together in front of her eyes, and a blue light emerged from the depths of her pupils

Qin Feng looked towards the door, and then his expression froze in surprise

Cang Feilan finished recording the events, rolled up the scroll, and with a flash of white light from the three-star wooden spirit, the scroll in her hand vanished without a trace

It appears that the black mist is a malevolent entity specifically preying on human souls. Fortunately, Young Master Qin possesses a spirit that is unlike that of ordinary people, and just in time, Lord Si Zheng arrived and scared off the malevolent entity

"Scholar? So that's how it is. The teachings of the literary sage emphasize the transmission of literary energy, no wonder your spirit is stronger than that of ordinary people." Cang Fei Lan lowered her head in contemplation: "However... Da Qian values martial power, and most people study the divine martial teachings, focusing primarily on body refinement. Even if someone specializes in spiritual cultivation, they are like me, treading the path of the hundred ghosts..."

As the footsteps drew nearer, a woman entered the house under the guidance of Qin Jianan

The leader of the local Demon-Slaying Office is referred to as the Chief Officer, who is also the most powerful individual.

The second lady, upon hearing the news, wept and struck Qin Jianan, saying: "It is all your fault for selling the ancestral home and moving away from the capital. Otherwise, how could Feng'er have encountered such danger? This is simply akin to walking through the gates of hell!"

Qin Feng knew that this was the Demon Slayer Order from the Demon Slayer Division, and every practitioner who joined the Demon Slayer Division would receive such a token

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then replied: "I have studied since childhood, aspiring to follow the teachings of the literary sages. However, my talents are limited, and I am still just an ordinary, frail scholar."

At this moment, Qin Feng noticed that the other party had two short daggers hanging from their waist, along with a wooden token. The token prominently bore the character for 'decapitation' along with three stars.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, demons and monsters were distinguished by their strength through the cycle of robbery and power.

Upon hearing these words, the others in the room were all greatly astonished

She wore tight dark blue-black trousers that hugged her slender thighs, while her upper body was clad in a simple black tank top, accentuating her curves and revealing two smooth, fair arms.

Everyone in the room held their breath, not daring to make a sound to disturb the atmosphere. Qin Feng swallowed hard, afraid to even breathe.

Her attire is vastly different from the conservative style of ancient people, yet when facing an enemy, especially in times of conflict, this outfit is precisely the most suitable.

Seeing this, Qin Feng widened his eyes. This Demon-Slaying Order can actually accommodate items as a spatial treasure?!

Indeed, I knew that Feng'er’s soul had been taken by that demon; otherwise, how could she have called me "Second Mother"? Lady Er's eyes reddened, and she began to sob again

I am Cang Feilan from the Demon-Slaying Division of Jinyang City, trained in the Hundred Ghosts Doctrine. At the request of General Qin, I have come to examine your soul. Please sit up

Qin Feng was also taken aback, looking at the other person with a mix of surprise and uncertainty

"A scholar is of no use at all, just a mere bookworm," Qin Feng said, mocking himself.

Cang Feilan took a small bronze furnace from her waist, then retrieved a fire stick to ignite the furnace. White smoke billowed from the bronze furnace, exuding a refreshing fragrance

Qin Jianan comforted the second wife while feeling guilty, saying, "It is my uselessness."

Upon hearing this, Qin An clenched his right fist tightly and furrowed his brow

Startled, Qin Feng grasped the key point and could not help but ask, "Has that evil being not been eradicated by Lord Sizheng?"

As he spoke, he gently stepped with his right foot, leaving a faint footprint on the hard surface of the bluestone floor

The evil entity that has invaded Jinyang City is at least of the third transformation calamity level, which indicates that to eliminate it with absolute strength, it would require the dispatch of at least a sixth-grade Daoist.

Yesterday, the malevolent spirit fell into Jinyang City. Except for Young Master Qin, all others who encountered it lost their souls and perished on the spot. I have some questions that require Young Master Qin's clarification

Everyone should exercise extra caution in the coming days. Although the Demon-Slaying Division has intensified night patrols, the demons are cunning and unexpected incidents may still occur. After warning them, Cang Feilan turned and left

"Cang girl, has my son's three souls and seven spirits really been damaged?"
