Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 140 - 117: Canghe Demon Slayer Bureau, Emerging Talent!

Immediately, Su Mu felt a sudden realization. The fact that Bai Yi could act unscrupulously in this area was due in no small part to his exceptional Lightweight Skill and Stealth Technique. But it was also partly because of the public notice from the Demon Slayer Bureau.

"There's no need for me to think about this further. I'll first go to complete the task."

At that moment, Su Mu stepped towards the Demon Slayer Bureau. A constable of the bureau frowned, holding the long saber at his waist, and approached.

"This is an important place of the Demon Slayer Bureau; idle people must not approach. Who are you?"

"An assassin. Take me to see your Director."

Su Mu took out a Wolf Head Silver Order. The constable's expression immediately changed slightly, but he did not directly take Su Mu into the bureau. Instead, he first cupped his fists courteously.

"Please wait; I will report to the Director immediately."

While Su Mu was waiting at the entrance, he clearly felt several gazes from the crowd sweeping back and forth over him. The moment he took out the token, many eyes stared intently at him.

This feeling of being watched made Su Mu uncomfortable, but it was all normal, so he waited quietly.

Soon, the constable returned, "Please follow me. Director Zhao wants to see you."

"Lead the way."

Su Mu responded calmly. The constable of the Demon Slayer Bureau frowned upon hearing this. He had noticed that Su Mu's Assassin's Order was not from his Canghe County. Was this assassin from another county here to show off in Canghe County?

The constable led Su Mu through corridors. Compared to the Cyan Cloud Demon Slayer Bureau, the Canghe County Demon Slayer Bureau had multiple layers of guards. The two arrived at a secluded courtyard in the back of the bureau.

"Director, the person has been brought."

"Come in."

The constable led Su Mu into the courtyard, where there were two figures in the study. One was tall, with arms almost reaching his knees, a long saber at his waist, bright eyes, and wearing a martial robe with black and silver edges and a tiger claw pattern.

"A Seventh-Grade Martial Artist... his aura is slightly stronger than Shangguan Feng, long and powerful, likely trained in Cross-Training Martial Arts."

The other person, with graying temples and an elegant demeanor, was focused on moving a fine brush, dipping it in cinnabar, seemingly reviewing the Bureau's documents.

This person was likely Director Zhao of the Canghe County Demon Slayer Bureau.

After finishing a document, the middle-aged, elegant man put down the wolf hair brush, and when he looked up, there was a severe authority in his eyes, "Who are you?"

"An assassin from the Cyan Cloud Demon Slayer Bureau, Li Feiyu."

Su Mu took off his conical hat and spoke calmly.

As soon as he spoke, the expression of the constable beside Su Mu changed drastically. His discontent with Su Mu immediately dissipated. He had heard this name; in recent days, the name Li Feiyu was well-known in Canghe City!

Besides the constable, Director Zhao, Zhao Pingyuan, and the martial robed man were both surprised. They had heard this name quite a bit in recent days.

At once, their gazes like torches fell on Su Mu's face. The reason was simple: Li Feiyu looked far too young, appearing only in his early twenties, at most twenty-three.

Could it be that this young assassin was the one who had taken down the Flower-Picking Thief Bai Yi, who had been on the Red List of the Cang River Demon Slayer Bureau for nearly ten years, and whom three Seventh-Grade Martial Artists sent by Magistrate Lin in previous years failed to kill?

"So it's Brother Li Feiyu. I've heard your name these days. It's truly better to meet you in person than just by reputation!"

Zhao Pingyuan hurried over from the study. The tall martial robed man beside him also stepped forward, speaking as he reached the threshold.

"May I ask, Brother Li, from which sect did you learn your skills? Even someone like Bai Yi fell into your hands?"

Zhao Pingyuan's heart was moved, extremely curious about this matter. Bai Yi's case had always troubled Zhao Pingyuan. Bai Yi's Lightweight Skill and Stealth Martial Arts were exceptional, as was his commendable Disguise Technique.

Moreover, Bai Yi was extremely cautious. One of the three Seventh-Grade Martial Artists involved in besieging Bai Yi was a top-tier Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artist from Jin Hong Martial Arts Hall, yet Bai Yi's Stealth Technique allowed him to escape even under the mental lock of a top-tier Yijin Martial Artist, showing how tricky he was.

Days ago, word came from the Cyan Cloud Demon Slayer Bureau that one of their assassins had taken Bai Yi's bounty. Initially, Zhao Pingyuan didn't think much of it.

But since the person was from Li Zhihe of Cyan Cloud, he had nothing to say. If the task failed, Li Zhihe would naturally understand the situation.

Unexpectedly, the news of Bai Yi's death came a few days ago, and the name 'Li Feiyu' spread through the major circles of power in Canghe City.

Su Mu responded calmly, "I am not affiliated with any sect."

What Su Mu said was true. His martial arts were all self-taught. However, no one believed him. Regardless of how careless Bai Yi might have been, ultimately, it was before this person that he fell. Li Feiyu must have real skills.

To have such capabilities at such a young age, Zhao Pingyuan could hardly believe there was no major force supporting him.

"Brother Li, let's talk inside. Huang Feng, quickly go to Cuiyu Building and buy some good wine and dishes."

Inside the hall, there was a sandalwood tea table with four wooden chairs.

The tall man trailing Zhao Pingyuan arrived at the table but looked towards Su Mu opposite, "Brother Li, please have a seat."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The tall man pressed his palm on the corner of the tea table, a surge of power emanated, shaking towards Su Mu.

"Boom!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The tea table trembled, and a heavy carved sandalwood chair, weighing twenty to thirty pounds, was shaken. Power surged on the chair.

Unfazed, Su Mu casually reached out and grabbed it.

The fierce power roaring on the chair immediately became as tame as a kitten. Zhao Pingyuan, watching Su Mu effortlessly catch the chair, was inwardly amazed.
