Chapter 3: Demon Slayer Department's Cang Feilan
As footsteps approached, led by Qin Jianan, a woman walked into the house.
Qin Feng looked towards the door and then his expression changed.
He had never seen a woman like her before. Her black hair stood up straight behind her head and reached her waist, and her black square scarf covered her beautiful face, except for her eyes that showed a faint azure light, seductively making people palpitate.
She wore tight azure black pants that wrapped around her long thighs, and only a black vest-style top on her upper body, revealing two smooth and fair arms.
Her attire was far from the conservative style of ancient times, but in times of enemy encounters and battles, this outfit was the most suitable.
"I am Cang Feilan of the Demon Slayer Department in Jin Yang City, practicing the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. General Qin has entrusted me to come and check on your soul. Please sit up," she said in a flat voice, without any emotion.
Qin Feng complied, then lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.
Cang Feilan took out a small copper incense burner from her waist and lit it with a match. White smoke emerged from the copper incense burner, emitting a refreshing aroma.
At this moment, Qin Feng noticed that she also had two short knives and a wooden token hanging from her waist. The token was engraved with a word "ն" and three stars, indicating her status in the Demon Slayer Department.
Each member of the Demon Slayer Department would receive a Demon Slayer Token, which was divided into three levels: wooden, green jade, and red lotus, each with one to three stars. The higher the level of the token, the stronger the holder's position and ability in the Demon Slayer Department.
In this small Jin Yang City, the fact that she had a three-star wooden token was extraordinary.
"This is the Soul Fixing Incense, which can stabilize the Divine Soul. Please sit still, and I will check your Three Immortal Souls and Seven Mortal Souls," Cang Feilan instructed, then closed her eyes and waved her fingers in front of her. Azure rays of light appeared from her pupils.
As a practitioner of the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage, she was a Grade 9 Yin Eater, Grade 8 Astrologer, Grade 7 Eye Opener, and could distinguish ghosts and souls.
At this moment, Cang Feilan had opened her Eye Opener to observe Qin Feng's Three Immortal Souls and Seven Mortal Souls.
The people in the room held their breath and concentrated, not daring to disturb her. Qin Feng swallowed hard and dared not even breathe.
Various Dao Lineages in the world had different mysterious abilities, and the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage that she practiced could see through his reincarnation technique.
"Strange," Cang Feilan frowned.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Miss Cang, is my son's Three Immortal Souls and Seven Mortal Souls really damaged?" Second Madame cried.
"I knew it! Feng'er's soul was taken away by that demon, otherwise why would he call me 'second mother'?" Second Madame sobbed again.
Qin An clenched his right fist and furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
Qin Feng was also taken aback, wondering if he could see through his reincarnation technique.
"Please rest assured, Young Master Qin's Three Immortal Souls and Seven Mortal Souls are intact. It's just that his Divine Soul is incredibly powerful, and he is evenly matched with a Grade 8 Hundred Ghosts Daoist like myself, which surprised me," Cang Feilan shook her head and explained.
Everyone in the room sighed in relief upon hearing her words.
"Did you cultivate the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage, Young Master Qin?" Cang Feilan put away the copper incense burner and asked.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and replied, "I have been studying since I was young and wanted to join the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. Unfortunately, I have mediocre talent and am still just an ordinary weak scholar."
"A scholar? I see. The Literature Saint Dao Lineage emphasizes pouring Literature Qi into the head, which explains why your Divine Soul is stronger than ordinary people," Cang Feilan pondered and then added, "However, Great Qian values martial power, and most people cultivate the Divine Martial Dao Lineage, focusing on body refinement. Even those who mainly cultivate the Divine Soul, like me, still follow the Hundred Ghosts path. There are few people like Young Master Qin who study literature and aim to join the Literature Saint path."
"I'm just a useless scholar," Qin Feng mocked himself.
Cang Feilan frowned slightly and flashed a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and returned to her cold and frosty demeanor.
"Yesterday, an evil monster entered Jin Yang City. Except for Young Master Qin, everyone who encountered it lost their souls and died on the spot. I have some questions and need Young Master Qin to answer," she said.
Qin Feng nodded and recounted his vague memories of encountering the black mist demon.
Upon hearing the story, Second Madame beat Qin Jianan and cried, "It's all your fault for selling our ancestral home and moving away from the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, how could Feng'er have encountered such danger? he has walked through the Gates of Hell!"
Qin Jianan comforted Second Madame while blaming himself, "It's my fault."
Cang Feilan finished recording the story, rolled up the scroll, and then the three-star Wood Spirit token flashed, causing the scroll to disappear.
Qin Feng stared with wide eyes, amazed that the Demon Slayer Token could even hold treasures!
"It seems that the black mist demon is an evil monster that specializes in devouring souls. Fortunately, Young Master Qin's Divine Soul is extraordinary, and General Qin arrived in time to scare off the evil monster," Cang Feilan said.
The leader of the local Demon Slayer Department was called the "Sizheng," who was also the most powerful member.
"Scared away?" Qin Feng caught the key point and couldn't help asking, "Wasn't that evil monster killed by the Sizheng?"
The others also looked over at this.
Cang Feilan shook her head. "That evil monster was powerful. Conservatively estimating, it probably had at least Third Cycle Calamity Power and had a strange and fast Divine Ability. By the time the Sizheng arrived, the evil monster was already gone."
In the Great Qian Dynasty, demons and ghosts were classified by Calamity Power to distinguish their strength.
Single-Cycle Calamity Power is similar to Human Race Dao Lineage's ninth grade, Second Cycle is similar to Grade 8, and so on.
The evil monster that invaded Jin Yang City this time was at least at Third Cycle Calamity Power, which meant that it would take at least a Grade 6 Daoist to kill it with absolute strength.
After all, demons and ghosts at Second Cycle Calamity Power often give birth to their own Life Source Divine Ability, and if Human Race Dao Lineage of the same level is even slightly careless, they could die on the spot.
"No wonder there has been a curfew in Jin Yang City for the past four days." Second Madame was scared to death, holding onto Qin Jian'an's sleeve tightly.
"You should all be careful in the next few days. Although the Demon Slayer Department has strengthened its night patrols, that cunning evil monster may still appear unexpectedly." After warning them, Cang Feilan turned and left.
Seeing his mother's worried look, Qin An spoke up, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, don't worry. With me here, Qin Mansion will be safe and sound."
As he spoke, he lightly stepped on the hard oak stone floor, leaving a shallow footprint.
In the Human Race Dao Lineage, if one were to ask which Dao Lineage had the strongest battle strength beyond Grade 6, Divine Martial was undoubtedly the first!
Qin Feng saw this scene and showed an envious expression. If he wanted to survive in such a chaotic world, he couldn't rely on others alone. Only by improving his own strength could he truly be at ease.
