Chapter 314: Chapter 280 Two Divine Skills_1

Kong Linfeng and Xiao Changting were full of confusion. Wasn’t the Demon Suppression Bell supposed to stop at nine tolls as the ultimate achievement?

Why were there four extra tolls?

Before they could ponder further, Li Cheng finally opened his eyes, withdrew his right hand, and took a long breath.

Li Cheng took a few steps back, bowed to the Demon Suppression Bell, and then descended.

Xiao Changting’s heart stirred, suppressing the surprise and curiosity within. With an unfathomable demeanor, he said, “Congratulations, young friend, on becoming a member of the Demon-suppressing Department!”

“Li Cheng greets the two seniors!” Li Cheng performed a bow.

“Li Cheng, this is the head of the Demon-suppressing Department!” Lianqing introduced, ignoring Kong Linfeng.

Li Cheng was astonished inwardly. Had he attracted the attention of the big boss of the Demon-suppressing Department?

Could it be that during the moment of enlightenment, he had already rung the Demon Suppression Bell?

Being in a state of enlightenment, Li Cheng wasn’t aware whether the Demon Suppression Bell had tolled or not. But judging from the situation, it must have, otherwise, it wouldn’t have alarmed the higher-ups of the Demon-suppressing Department.

Xiao Changting nodded slightly, “The legacy of the Demon Suppression Bell is ancient and significant, containing Divine Skills for suppressing demons. Attaining one would trigger a toll of the bell. Which ones did you obtain?”

It suddenly dawned on Li Cheng. So that was it!

Once again bowing, Li Cheng replied, “I’m embarrassed to say, I have acquired only two Divine Skills. One is the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, comprising nine forms, and the other is the Four Spirit Seal of Demon Suppressing, comprising four forms.”

“Oh? You received only two seals, so why…” Xiao Changting began, puzzled, but suddenly, he realized he might have heard wrong and exclaimed, “What? You got all nine forms?”

Kong Linfeng too showed astonishment. The Demon Purging Seals were known to every Demon-suppressing Envoy, but nobody knew there were nine of them!

Comprehending even one would cause the Demon Suppression Bell to toll, and Li Cheng had triggered nine tolls because he understood all nine forms!

As for the Four Spirit Seal of Demon Suppressing, they hadn’t even heard of it!

Inside the Demon-suppressing Department, there was no record of such a Divine Skill. Could it be one of those hidden techniques created by the big shots?

Definitely!

Those at the top of the pyramid loved to craft Easter eggs and play mysterious games.

The agreement was that nine tolls were the pinnacle, but they secretly hid an Easter egg on top of that.

At this moment, those big shots must have noticed, right?

Li Cheng, slightly puzzled, looked at Xiao Changting’s astounded face. It was only two Divine Skills; surely, they had made the Demon Suppression Bell toll just twice, right? There had to be a gap compared to Lianqing!

How come this lofty head showed such surprise?

But in an instant, Xiao Changting’s expression returned to normal, making Li Cheng wonder if he had imagined the surprise.

“Very good, having been recognized by the Demon Suppression Bell, you are now a member of our Kongqian Heaven Dynasty’s Demon-suppressing Department!”

“Remember, you must not slack off. Concentrate on your cultivation and strive to become a high-level Demon-suppressing Envoy as soon as possible, to eliminate demons and slay the evil for the people!”

Xiao Changting’s expression turned serious, radiating a powerful aura.

Without waiting for Li Cheng to respond, Xiao Changting added, “Little girl, go and give it a try too!”

“Yes!” Yin Yue bowed and flew to the place where Li Cheng had stood before, reaching out to sense the Demon Suppression Bell with both hands.

Li Cheng glanced sideways, feeling a gaze on him. He turned to see Kong Linfeng’s smiling face.

“Greetings, senior!” Li Cheng quickly bowed, aware that this person’s presence was no less imposing than Xiao Changting’s; he must also be a high-ranking official of the Demon-suppressing Department.

Kong Linfeng nodded, “I am Linfeng, vice head of the Demon-suppressing Department.”

Xiao Changting and Lianqing looked at Kong Linfeng somewhat surprised, but an instant later, they understood. He had agreed to keep Lianqing’s secret.

So, he didn’t reveal that he was the Emperor of the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty and casually took on the identity of the vice head instead.

Li Cheng was puzzled. The aura of authority from this person was very strong, and even though he was trying hard to conceal it, it felt stronger than Xiao Changting’s. Really just the vice head?

Oh! Understood. Xiao Changting probably always acted as a hands-off manager, uninterested in affairs, leaving everything to the vice head, Linfeng.

That’s why, over time, the vice head’s ingrained air of authority was so potent, while even the head’s feigned display couldn’t compare.

It must be so, for Li Cheng often did the same.

In the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, any Elder carried more of an air of authority than him.

Thinking this, Li Cheng made a mental note; in the Demon-suppressing Department, it was the vice head who managed affairs, while Xiao Changting, the head, was just a figurehead.

“This is the token of Kongqian Library; it houses a wealth of books. Feel free to visit when you have the time,” suggested Kong Linfeng with a smile, handing over a golden token.

Li Cheng received it respectfully; this was precisely what he needed. If the library held knowledge of Pill Artifact Arrays, nothing could be better!

“Thank you for your generous gift, Vice Head!” Li Cheng expressed his gratitude, secretly thinking that of course it was true.

The one giving out the tokens wasn’t the head, but the vice head, clearly indicating who was in charge on a daily basis.

“This girl likely won’t finish for a while. Lianqing, take Li Cheng to complete his induction paperwork,” Xiao Changting instructed.

Lianqing nodded, bowed, and led Li Cheng away.

It was only when the Demon Suppression Bell was out of sight that Lianqing spoke, “I wasn’t wrong; you do have what it takes.”

Li Cheng shook his head with a smile, “Miss Kong flatters me. I’ve only triggered two tolls. I’m sure I’m far behind you.”

“The Divine Realm is indeed blessed with unique conditions that incite envy. Take that girl Yin Yue, for instance, thirteen years old and almost a Heaven God. That’s unimaginable in the Lower World.”

Hearing Li Cheng’s words, the corner of Lianqing’s mouth twitched. Two tolls? Big brother, it was thirteen tolls, okay?

You’ve broken the legend!

But Lianqing chose not to say it aloud; it was good this way to prevent him from becoming arrogant.

However, that girl Yin Yue indeed was freakishly talented; to reach such a level at the age of thirteen, without the benefit of vast resources, was too much.
