Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: Chapter 123: Mysterious Turtle King Lake (2/2)

Upon seeing Zhang Yang again, the two guards at the gate didnt ask too many questions and immediately went inside to report.

Before long, Su Nan was invited into the Demon Hunting Bureau.

The guard led Su Nan to the lobby in the South Courtyard, where Ji Changfeng, still pale-faced, sat despondently in a Taishi chair.

Although he had changed into clean gray clothes, it couldn’t conceal his weak demeanor.

Feigning concern, Su Nan asked, “Senior, are you alright?”

Ji Changfeng forced a smile and said, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, young friend. That pig demon was too strong. I was too arrogant and underestimated it.”

“Senior, you shouldn’t say that. Compared to demons, us humans are naturally at a disadvantage.”

Ji Changfeng sighed and shook his head, saying, “That’s true, but a defeat is a defeat. There is no excuse. It’s just a pity that my Demon Hunting Bureau is lacking in manpower.”

A task has arrived!

Su Nan immediately said, “Senior, while my strength and realm may not be high, I am at the Spirit Level. If there is anything I can do to help, please just give me the command.”

“Oh?” Ji Changfeng looked surprised and took a closer look at Su Nan.

As if just noticing Su Nan’s realm, he sighed, “For someone so young to already be at the Spirit Level, you definitely have a promising future.”

After saying this, Ji Changfeng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, there is something I need your help with.”

“Please tell me.”

“Do you know what the Black Cloud Pig Demon stole from my Demon Hunting Bureau?” Ji Changfeng asked.

“I’m not sure.” Su Nan shook his head, pretending to know nothing.

Ji Changfeng explained, “The pig demon stole a treasure called the Green Gold Stone. This is related to the safety of Dongchen State and is of great importance. We must retrieve it as soon as possible.”

“Since the pig demon is a subordinate of the White Water Demon King, it would be much harder to retrieve the Green Gold Stone once it falls into the hands of the White Water Demon King.”

“I’m heavily injured right now and can’t accomplish this on my own. There are no powerful people in the surrounding counties, so the only option is to head to Tianyun City as quickly as possible and report the matter to the County Magistrate.”

“Young friend, would you be willing to escort me to Tianyun City?”

Su Nan had been waiting for this question.

He immediately said, “With Senior placing so much trust in me, how could I let you down? I will definitely ensure your safe arrival at Tianyun City.”

Ji Changfeng, instead of being happy at Su Nan’s words, looked serious and solemnly said, “You must think carefully about this. The journey from Nine Pavilion County to Tianyun City is long, and anything can happen along the way. One misstep could lead to death in the mouth of a demon.”

Su Nan declared righteously, “For the safety of our human race in Dongchen State, even at the cost of my life, I will make sure you reach your destination.”

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng’s eyes filled with gratification, and he laughed heartily, “Good! With you by my side, I can be at ease!”

“Once this matter is settled, I’ll definitely speak to the County Magistrate on your behalf. If you want to join our Demon Hunting Bureau, I can assure you that I’ll secure a good position for you.”

“In that case, I’ll have to thank you, senior.” Su Nan did not hold back either.

If Zhang Yang could join the Demon Hunting Bureau with this identity, it would certainly have a positive impact on his future actions..
