The location of the Exorcist Conference is not in Mangshan Mountain, but at a checkpoint thirty miles east of Juyong Pass.
The level is called Demon-Suppressing Level, and it was once a station of the Secret Bureau.
With Zhenmo Pass as the center, the seven beacon towers on the east and west sides all fall under the jurisdiction of Zhenmo Pass.
In order to hold the first Exorcist Conference in Middle-earth, the staff of Zhenmo Pass had renovated the place several days in advance.
With Zhenmo Pass as the center, they built a circular square and an open-air platform.
There are also many simple houses and temporary parking lots built around it.
In order to ensure that the conference can proceed safely, the Secret Bureau even dispatched a total of 3,000 demon-suppressing soldiers to maintain order.
Anyone who does not abide by the rules of the Exorcist Conference will be forcibly removed from the venue and will not be allowed to participate.
For more serious cases, they may even be arrested and sent to the Demon Suppression Tower.
But Zhang Sanfen and I drove all the way and arrived near Zhenmo Pass in about four hours.
When I came here, I realized how influential this conference really is.
When we were still more than ten kilometers away from Zhenmo Pass, the vehicles were blocked.
There were vehicles coming from all over the country and staff doing their best to divert traffic.
Because there are so many vehicles, there is no place to park within more than ten kilometers.
For this reason, many exorcists who came from other places even gave up their vehicles and started walking on foot carrying their packages.
A distance of more than ten kilometers is nothing given the exorcist's physical fitness.
Zhang Sanfen and I were blocked on the road and couldn't move.
I had no choice but to find the nearest parking lot, then put my package on my back and walk forward.
Along the way, I saw exorcists from all over the country speaking various accents.
Some people also quarreled with each other over parking.
The exorcists have bad tempers, and they get into full-on martial arts displays when they argue.
But soon the demon-suppressing soldiers responsible for maintaining order rushed over. With a wave of their hands, the exorcists who started fighting were taken away without explanation.
With the intervention of the demon-suppressing soldiers, the fighting between the exorcists became much less frequent.
Even if there are people who don't like each other, the most they can do is make sarcastic remarks or simply yell at each other.
The demon-suppressing soldiers don't care if you curse people. Anyway, as long as you don't take action, it's easy to say anything.
I am constantly amazed.
I really didn’t expect there to be so many exorcists in Middle-earth.
Before joining the profession, I thought exorcism was a very mysterious profession and the scope of this circle was very small.
But now it seems that there are at least tens of thousands of exorcists gathered at the Demon Suppression Pass.
In addition, there are media from all over the country and some ordinary people who want to try their luck.
Many people hold the idea that the position of Captain 10 may not be up for grabs.
But the ten teams have just been established and they are all short of people.
As long as you can join the Ten Small Schools and become a member, you can enjoy the various rich resources provided by China.
These resources are extremely precious in Middle-earth.
As long as there is a chance, ordinary people who want to enter the world of exorcists will not give up.
This is also the main reason why this place has become so crowded and full of people.
Zhang Sanfen and I didn't have any privileges either, so we just watched as we walked.
After walking for more than an hour, I saw a tall city.
On the city's plaque, three golden characters shine brightly: Demon-Suppressing Pass!
There were many people blocking the outside of the Demon Suppressing Pass, and there were also heavily armed Demon Suppressing soldiers holding rune sabers conducting inspections.
They checked very carefully. Every exorcist who entered the Demon Suppression Gate must show their identity certificate and then undergo soul detection.
The identification is to prevent wanted criminals or scum who have taken refuge in Fengdu from getting involved.
Soul detection is mainly to protect against believers of the Old Ones.
Once contaminated by the soul of the Old One, the soul detector will sound an alarm.
There were at least two thousand people blocking the entrance to the Demon Suppressing Pass.
When there are more people, it will inevitably become a bit confusing.
Especially today, the clouds are overcast and the wind is freezing, making people shiver.
Some pampered people couldn't help but began to curse in a low voice.
But the demon-suppressing soldiers didn't take it seriously and continued to carry out identity verification and soul detection meticulously.
Zhang Sanfen and I were waiting in line at the back, but someone behind us couldn't help it and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Make way for Mr. Meng!"
"A bunch of weak and pitiful guys have the nerve to come here to participate in the Exorcist Convention! With all your three-legged cat tricks, you're not afraid of being embarrassed here?"
"That fat man! What about you? Get out of here!"
The queue behind us suddenly became chaotic.
When I looked back, I saw two burly men punching and kicking people in line.
Their bodies are very thick, and there are curved runes written with brushes on the surface of their skin.
Perhaps because of the blessings of these runes, their punches and kicks were extremely powerful. Everyone who was punched screamed in pain, and even their bones were directly broken.
Zhang Sanfen frowned and said, "Send to the coroner?"
I immediately thought of the old man who lost to Zhang Sanfen in Baiyangdian, and that unruly and willful girl.
It seems that Wannan sent the coroner.
Speaking of which, the coroner in Wannan has a lot of quarrel with our Nanshan Funeral Home.
Back then, Zhang Sanfen was a person who had lost a lot of money in the coroner lineage.
Under the push of two strong men, a man with a cold face stepped forward. He looked ordinary on the surface and wore nothing special.
The only thing that impressed people was that he seemed very proud.
So proud that I don't even bother to look at others.
Someone recognized his identity and said in surprise: "He is Meng Shaoan, the coroner in southern Anhui!"
Another person said angrily: "Is it important to send the coroner? Can you jump in the queue if you send the coroner?"
Some people heard that he was the inheritor of the coroner, and then quietly hid behind him, not daring to cause trouble.
But there are also people who are so angry that they blow their beards and stare, but they just refuse to give way.
Suddenly, several demon-suppressing soldiers walked over quickly, and the leader shouted: "What are you doing! Anyone who dares to do something in the demon-suppressing pass will be sent directly to the demon-suppressing tower for one year!"
"If you're not afraid of death, just do it!"
The fierce momentum of the demon-suppressing soldiers made Meng Shaoan's men suffocate.
But then he raised his voice again: "See clearly!"
"This is the successor to the posthumous officer in Wannan! The future leader of the Meng family!"
"Even if the Wannan Demon Suppressor comes, you must be respectful to Mr. Meng! Which of you is the leader? Take us to the VIP passage!"
"Walking with these losers is simply an insult to my young master's status!"
The demon-suppressing soldiers laughed angrily: "VIP channel? Sorry! There really isn't one!"
"In addition, the order I received is that no matter how old you are or how strong you are, if you want to enter the Demon Suppression Pass, you must abide by the rules set by the Secret Bureau!"
"Let that bullshit young master of yours either line up obediently or get out of the Demon Suppression Pass!"
