That night, Gu An and Ye Wen left after a casual chat.
The content was nothing more than Ye Wen's invitation to Gu An to visit their Night Kingdom. Gu An refused because he didn't have time for the time being, but he promised to go when he had time.
The delegation from the Alliance of Nations stayed in Qian Country for another three days before leaving. The entire military department was in a lively scene because of Gu An's victory.
On April 10th, after Gu An rested for a few days, Gu An packed up his things and prepared to continue to earn energy points in the demon battlefield.
However, not long after he walked out of the military department, he was stopped by someone.
"Gu An!"
Gu An looked back and saw that the person coming was a short old man with a goatee. Gu An also knew him. He was Yi Cheng's deputy.
"Teacher Qiu." Gu An saluted.
An old man named Qiu Gang quickly came to Gu An.
"Gu An, are you ready to go out?"
Gu An took out the token from his bag and said, "Yes, I plan to go to the demon battlefield to continue training myself. I have already reported it to Dean Yi."
This token was given by Yi Cheng when Gu An applied to go to the demon battlefield.
"Then your plan may have to be postponed. Dean Yi asked me to inform you and let you go."
A sudden notice at this time? Is there something else going on?
Gu An nodded, and when he was about to go with Qiu Gang, he heard Qiu Gang say: "I have to inform Yunlong and the others. You go there first. The dean is in the pavilion in his yard."
"Senior Brother Song and the others are also going?" Gu An asked.
Qiu Gang took a deep breath: "Yes, this matter is a bit troublesome."
…
When Gu An walked into Yicheng's courtyard, he was slightly surprised.
Because apart from Yi Cheng, Xiao Lisheng is also here.
"Student Gu An has met Dean Yi and Dean Xiao."
"Gu An is here, sit down."
"Thank you, Dean." Gu An nodded and sat on the stone bench pointed by Yi Cheng.
"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, please take a rest first." Yi Cheng looked towards the door, wondering what he was thinking about.
Xiao Lisheng looked much more relaxed. This was the first time Gu An saw Xiao Lisheng since that dinner.
Gu An has actually always been curious about Xiao Lisheng.
Logically speaking, Gu An had always been at odds with Wu Mansion when he was in the Zhenxie Division.
Xiao Lisheng, as the head of the Qianguo Wu Mansion, should cause trouble for Gu An.
But in the more than a month since Gu An came to the capital, except for Xu Fang's time, Xiao Lisheng has not caused any trouble for him, either openly or secretly.
Even in the demon battlefield, there was no mention of anyone coming to attack him or trick him, which made Gu An doubt Xiao Lisheng's position for a while.
Song Yunlong and others haven't come over yet, and Yi Cheng seemed relatively silent today, so the place was strangely quiet.
At this time, Xiao Lisheng smiled and said: "Gu An, before you came to the capital, when you were in Yanzhou, you helped the Suppressing Evil Division put down the rebellion in our Wu Mansion, right?"
"Back to Dean Xiao, this is indeed the case." Gu An replied without changing his expression.
"Haha, speaking of which, I would like to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't taken action quickly, I'm afraid it would have caused even greater trouble later."
Hearing this, Gu An frowned slightly.
If Yi Cheng hadn't told him before that Xiao Lisheng liked to talk to resolve his opponents, he would have believed him.
"This matter is just my mission as a member of the Evil Suppression Department."
Xiao Lisheng nodded after hearing Gu An's words and said nothing more.
The place became quiet again.
This went on until a shout came from the door.
"Huh? Gu An, are you here too?" Xiao Qianming opened the door and came in with a surprised look on his face.
Gu An looked back, thinking that only Song Yunlong and the other three were there, but he didn't expect that Zhongxin was also there.
Soon everyone sat down after the greeting.
Yi Cheng finally spoke.
"You must all be curious about the reason why I asked you to come here this time. I will tell you now."
Yi Cheng took a deep breath: "A few days ago, after Gu An defeated Yuan Ye, our country of Qian also proved our strength to the alliance of various countries and basically reached an agreement to join the alliance of various countries.
Originally, we could officially join as long as we passed an assessment. This assessment was supposed to involve His Majesty and a few of us.
But the news I just received this morning is that this assessment is for you, the younger generation.
The assessment content is very simple, enter the demon battlefield and hunt demons."
Gu An and others looked at each other, and Xiao Qianming asked: "Yila... Dean, haven't you been there once before? You hunted an emperor-level demon, why do you need to hunt another demon in this assessment?" "
Xiao Qianming almost said it outright, but he swallowed it back when he saw the unhappy look on Yi Cheng's face.
"Yes, we did go there once twenty-two years ago, but time has passed, so we have to do it again."
According to regulations, within twenty years after the assessment ends, the countries participating in the assessment must join the alliance of nations to be effective.
But because of what happened nine years ago, I haven't joined until now, so I need to re-examine.
"Dean Yi, what you were hunting was an imperial-level demon, which is equivalent to a Martial Saint warrior. With our current strength, we can't deal with a strong man of this level, right?"
Song Yunlong expressed the questions that Gu An and the others had in mind.
"This matter was also mentioned in the morning message. You are not required to kill an emperor, as long as you can work together to kill a semi-emperor demon.
The number of people is limited to five. I thought about it, and among the younger generation of our Qian Kingdom, there are five of you who can do it."
Hearing this, Gu An couldn't help but frown.
Semi-Emperor-level demons are so terrifying, but he still knows that the black dragon he encountered in Youzhou was a Half-Emperor-level demon.
The huge body that blocks out the sky and sun can make people feel despair.
Although his strength now far exceeds that then, Gu An still doesn't think he has the strength to deal with it.
Zhongxin, who had been reading with his head down, closed the book and raised his head: "Half-Emperor... Even though half-Emperor level demons are strong, it shouldn't be a big problem for the five of us to join forces.
But as a semi-emperor-level demon, it must have its own territory in the demon battlefield, and there are many king-level demons in the territory. These are the key to our success."
Zhongxin said in one sentence the most difficult part of this mission.
In the demon battlefield, the demon side is actually divided into many forces.
A semi-emperor-level demon is enough to occupy a large territory by itself, and there must be its subordinates in the territory.
"Yes, this is something you need to pay attention to." When Yi Cheng and the others were hunting the emperor-level demons, they encountered two half-step emperor-level demons and more than twenty king-level demons.
Fortunately, they were strong enough to cope with it.
'King-level monsters are easy to deal with. With my current strength, I should be able to deal with them quickly after opening the domain, so I just need to let Senior Brother Song and the others hold on for a while.'
