Lu Ze nodded to them as a greeting.
Many people who arrived early have already gathered at the designated place and gathered together to chat.
After all, they have entered the Demon-Conquering Division, which is considered to have fulfilled their wishes. They feel very comfortable at this time. They are no longer nervous about the assessment at that time, and everyone has forgotten all their previous grudges and grudges.
Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly saw Lu Ze and others coming. They all tacitly shut their mouths and moved out of the way to let Lu Ze and others pass by.
Lu Ze's reputation as number one is extremely resounding among them.
In the past few days, in addition to taking care of their own affairs, they also spent the rest of the time listening to all directions and inquiring about every move in Xuanyuan City.
Lu Ze was first picked up by Fu Liang personally, and then invited by Xia Yuanhong's people. Cheng Ran also asked Fu Mo Division to arrange a separate residence for him.
This piece of information was enough to let them know that the first placer in the assessment was no longer the unknown person who had no father or mother in Lingqi Academy and whose cultivation level was stagnant at the second level.
But under their casual gaze, he grew into a being that people like Fu Liang and Xia Yuanhong would deliberately get close to!
They cannot afford to offend such people.
Some of them came from the same school as Lu Ze, and they would brag about their awesomeness in front of others to feel proud of themselves.
Lu Ze found a place to stand, and Fu Liang and Song Wushuang followed Lu Ze.
The rest of the people stood far away from the three of them, and the casual exchange just now became whispers now.
After Qin Wan arrived, she looked at Fu Liang and found a place farther away to stand.
Not long after, two people wearing blue Fumosi clothes walked over from a distance.
Lu Ze looked over and saw a familiar figure.
"Xia Yuanhong..."
Fu Liang also recognized it and whispered: "It seems that he is the one who issued the mission this time."
Xia Yuanhong and Lu Ze looked at each other, smiled gently, and then stood in front of everyone.
Everyone gathered around.
"Everyone, today is your first day to enter the Demon-Subduing Division, and it is also your first time to perform the mission of the Demon-Subduing Division."
Xia Yuanhong pointed at himself, "I am Xia Yuanhong. I am a person who entered the Demon Subduing Division one year before you. Today, your tasks will be assigned, supervised, and...followed by me throughout the entire process!"
Hearing this, Fu Liang narrowed his eyes, and Song Wushuang looked at each other at the same side.
"After the end of this mission, you will be graded and recorded in the annual assessment. Please treat it with caution!"
"Now, you will be divided into multiple groups, with four people in each group. Among them, Lu Ze, as the first place in the assessment, can select the group members."
After the words fell, Lu Ze said: "Fu Liang, Song Wushuang, and..."
Lu Ze glanced around, and was about to choose someone at random, when he suddenly thought of something, raised the corner of his mouth, and locked his eyes on Xia Yuanhong, "And you."
Everyone was stunned.
The people around Xia Yuanhong immediately took a step forward, "No, he is not the executor of this mission and cannot be selected into your group."
"No, just follow Lu Ze's wishes."
Xia Yuanhong spoke up, "This assessment is not evenly divided. One group is destined to have only three people. Lu Ze's group has the first and second place in the assessment. With one less person, the assessment results will be more fair to others. "
Seeing that Xia Yuanhong had said this, the man didn't insist anymore.
"Now the rest will group themselves into groups and tell me the results in ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later, everyone reported their team members.
Xia Yuanhong recorded them one by one.
"Now let me issue this mission!"
Xia Yuanhong suddenly raised his voice and took out a few chip-shaped things from the storage ring. The people next to him immediately took them and distributed them.
Everyone took the things in their hands, a little confused.
"This mission is to eliminate all demons within a three-kilometer radius of Xuanyuan City. What is being distributed to you now is a recording chip. You put this thing on your own weapons, and they will record how many demons you have eliminated."
"The more demons you eliminate and the higher the level, the better your results will be this time!"
Xia Yuanhong swept away everyone with a serious expression, "I would like to remind you that the minimum standard for eliminating demons this time is: two third-level demons! If anyone fails to meet the standard, he will be expelled from the Demon Subduing Division!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people's expressions changed.
During the assessment, many of them fought to the death for a piece of third-level demon core, and even used despicable means to get it.
Now they actually let them kill two third-level monsters with their own hands? !
They had just entered the Demon-Conquering Division, and they hadn't gotten any benefits yet. If they couldn't complete it, wouldn't they be expelled, and wouldn't everything they had done before be in vain? !
No matter how ugly these people's faces were, Xia Yuanhong said directly: "Is there any problem? If there is no problem, we will start the mission!"
Everyone was complaining in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xia Yuanhong nodded, and together with the people next to him, he took out a small ball reunited by spiritual energy, and then handed it over together, and the two groups of spiritual energy merged rapidly.
"Buzz!——"
A light earthquake sounded, and a spiritual space door opened in front of everyone.
"Come in with me!"
Xia Yuanhong stepped into it first, and Lu Ze followed suit.
Everyone followed suit.
After a moment of dizziness in front of their eyes, everyone arrived at the edge of Xuanyuan City.
Standing here, you can see countless spiritual formations lingering in various places in front of you, and thousands of fully armed Demon Fu Division personnel are on guard.
The faint spiritual energy light waves formed two layers of shields, dividing the area into three parts.
The innermost part is Xuanyuan City, where they live now. It is as prosperous as ever, and people are living their lives every day.
The outermost part is full of monsters. If you look carefully, you can see countless monsters attacking the shield with their sharp claws and sharp mouths. Standing at a high place and scanning at a glance, the monsters are pressing one by one, endlessly. No end in sight.
Many people have already decided to quit when they see this place, and the two sides are fighting.
The number of demons during the assessment was completely different from what we see now.
Between the two shields is a desolate and uninhabited buffer zone.
There is nothing but barren, dry loess.
Xia Yuanhong handed his token to the personnel guarding this place, "We are the executors of this mission, please let us go."
The guards looked at everyone with vigilance, put their hands on the hilt of their swords, checked the token over and over again, and then handed it to the people around them, asking them to contact the Demon Fu Division to confirm whether this mission had been carried out.
Soon after, the man came back and confirmed the existence of the mission.
The guard returned the things to Xia Yuanhong, released the hilt of his sword, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, it's my duty."
Xia Yuanhong also smiled gently and said nothing.
"Let go!"
With a loud shout from the guard, a small opening opened in the shield inside.
Xia Yuanhong led everyone through the small opening. When everyone entered the buffer zone, the small opening was immediately closed.
Entering the buffer zone, everyone couldn't help but frown. It was isolated from the inside and outside, and it was silent, even terrifyingly quiet. If they moved even slightly, they would make a lot of noise.
Lu Ze also took a few deep breaths. There was only one word to describe the feeling he felt here - dead silence.
The silence that comes after the death of all living things...
