Chapter 72: Thirty-Six Stars, Twelve Divine Generals

Qin Feng nodded when he heard the words.

In the Demon Slayer Department, there were three types of tokens: Wood Token, Green Jade Token, and Red Lotus Token. Each type was further divided into one to three stars. Logically, the Red Lotus Three-Star Token represented the highest combat power in the Demon Slayer Department.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

However, in reality, it was not the case.

In the Demon Slayer Department of the Great Qian Four Realms, every year, the strongest thirty-six individuals holding the Red Lotus Three-Star Tokens were selected to receive more resources for training. They were known as the Thirty-Six Stars.

As for the Twelve Divine Generals, their strength surpassed that of the Thirty-Six Stars and was designated by the Demon Slayer Department of the Four Realms.

These individuals possessed unparalleled combat abilities, reaching the level of legends and serving as the pillars protecting the Four Realms.

In each heavenly city, there was at least one such powerhouse, usually the head of the city’s Demon Slayer Department.

However,

“In the calamity of Qiyuan City this time, I only heard bits and pieces. According to the Demon Slayer Department’s standards for evaluating city disturbances, it seems to have reached Grade A. With the defensive power within the city alone, it cannot be resisted.”

The Demon Slayer Department classified city disturbances into Grade A, B, C, and D. The higher the grade, the higher the possibility of the city being destroyed. To deal with a Grade A disturbance, at least one Divine General and three of the Thirty-Six Stars were needed to have a chance to avert the danger.

However, such high-level combat power was scarce and almost impossible to appear simultaneously in one place.

Ya’an shook his head, “From what I saw in Qiyuan City, this calamity has reached Grade A+.”

Grade A+? That would require at least two Divine General-level combat powers to counter. The situation in Qiyuan City this time was unexpectedly terrifying!

“If it’s so dangerous, why do you still think this calamity can be pacified?” Qin Feng voiced his doubts. Although Ya’an didn’t explicitly say it, his expression clearly suggested that.

“Sixth rank of the Literature Saint, Why?” Ya’an replied, dodging the question.

“It’s for divination.” Qin Feng immediately responded. Tradition of Literature Saint Dao Lineage had mentioned this. Those at the sixth rank possessed the ability to divine and predict auspicious and inauspicious events. However, the book also ambiguously hinted that this practice was esoteric and difficult to apply practically.

“It’s similar to trying to predict winning a million-dollar lottery but just staying at home, waiting for the results, and coincidentally avoiding falling downstairs,” Ya’an nodded slightly.

Desperate to save her, they didn’t stay any longer and rushed southward. They finally arrived in Jinyang City by nightfall.

“I believe the appearance of that mysterious man was also foreseen by the Heavenly Tower Imperial Teacher,” Ya’an said with conviction, her tone filled with admiration.

“I see,” Qin Feng murmured, deep in thought. In this way, the two sides were indeed evenly matched.

Considering the information from the man at Moonlit Pavilion, Wang Xu, and Ya’an, the beginning and the course of the disaster in Qiyuan City were now clear. But as for the outcome, they could only wait.

However, he still had a question: What were the two members of the Demon Slaying Department who escaped from Qiyuan City trying to do?

From Ya’an and the others’ escape experience, he noticed a detail he had previously overlooked: the timing!

The two members of the Demon Slaying Department arrived in Jinyang City in the evening, while the invasion happened around noon. Even if they were riding the fastest horses, it would still take them at least five to six hours to reach Jinyang City.

In other words, they had left Qiyuan City before the invasion even began, which was unreasonable.

Just then, four unexpected visitors arrived at the Qin residence.

Leading them was Si Zheng, with Cang Feilan beside him, followed closely by the two adults in green Demon Slaying robes he had encountered yesterday.

“Sir Si Zheng, what brings you here?” Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

“Let’s talk in the back hall.”

In the back hall, Si Zheng went straight to the point. “Qiyuan City suffered a calamity yesterday. We received news this morning that the invaders were repelled last night, but they managed to seize the Town Dragon Stele. The top experts from the Demon Slaying Department in the city have gone to pursue them.”

Upon hearing this, the people in the room had different expressions. Some felt relief, some breathed a sigh of relief, but Ya’an’s face turned serious.

The Town Dragon Stele was an object used to suppress the place’s luck. According to legend, the thirty-two Heavenly cities of The Great Qian weren’t arbitrarily designated but were key luck energy nodes based on the overall earth veins patterns of The Great Qian.

However, the concept of luck was esoteric, and Qin Feng was skeptical. What puzzled him more was why those invaders would want to steal it. Could it be that their initial goal was the Town Dragon Stele?

Unable to comprehend, Qin Feng looked up. “So, Sir Si Zheng, why are you here?”

Si Zheng didn’t answer. Instead, the thin-faced man in green Demon Slaying robes standing beside him spoke, “We hope you can come with us to Qiyuan City.”
