Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 392: First Arrival at the Demon Suppression Sea

Chapter 392: First Arrival at the Demon Suppression Sea

Shen Mo's consciousness gradually cleared.

When he regained his vision, he discovered himself standing on unfamiliar ground.

The surrounding terrain was flat and unobstructed.

Numerous dwellings stood upon the earth.

On streets paved with thick stone slabs, many pedestrians came and went.

These people had varying cultivation levels.

But at minimum, they possessed Foundation Establishment Realm strength.

They seemed unsurprised by Shen Mo's confusion.

Their clothing styles were ancient, resembling fashions from a thousand years ago.

Moreover, everyone was busy with their own tasks, rarely stopping to rest.

After a short while, Shen Mo witnessed two people getting into a conflict, coming to blows.

The reason for the conflict was trivial.

It was merely because one person's combat technique practice disturbed another who was cutting vegetables and cooking.

The two began fighting, and soon blood was flowing from their heads.

People around them showed no concern, completely indifferent.

Before long, both combatants were injured, dragged away by their respective relatives, ending the farce.

"Oh? You look like a newcomer, just arrived?"

A strong voice sounded behind Shen Mo.

Shen Mo looked carefully and saw a bald, muscular man approaching, standing ten feet tall.

He wore purple-black armor, with a fierce tiger head carved on the breastplate.

Even just standing still, he exuded an extremely fierce aura.

Shen Mo sensed that, like himself, this person was also a cultivator of a blood energy technique, having reached the Venerable Realm.

The bald warrior stepped forward, nearly pressing his large head into Shen Mo's face.

"You're the only cultivator summoned by Heaven's Will in several hundred years. Tell me, how is Jing Nation faring now?"

Shen Mo stepped back, "Jing Nation is doing well. The Ten Thousand Demons Nation is gone, and people live in peace."

The bald warrior's eyes widened, "What? The Ten Thousand Demons Nation is gone?"

He quickly lowered his voice, "Shh, whether it's true or not, never spread such words loudly, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Shen Mo was puzzled but didn't immediately question this.

Instead, he asked another question.

"When I was summoned by Heaven's Will, several Divine Transformation Realm perfection and peak cultivators were also summoned. Where are they?"

The bald warrior raised his eyebrows, "Even Divine Transformation Realm perfection and peak cultivators are being summoned now?"

He waved his hand, "If they were summoned, they must be at the Demon Suppression Sea, and Heaven's Will ensures their safety, so you can rest assured about that."

"However, the Demon Suppression Sea is vast and boundless. They might not be in this Demon Suppression Fortress."

"Don't worry, you'll eventually meet them."

Demon Suppression Fortress?

More than one?

Shen Mo's confusion grew.

On the continent, information about the Demon Suppression Sea was extremely limited; everything required questioning to get answers.

"Your teleportation location by Heaven's Will was somewhat off. Theoretically, you should have been sent directly into the Demon Suppression Fortress, or at least to the Guardian Barracks."

The bald warrior scratched his head, "Anyway, come with me, I'll take you there."

Shen Mo nodded, "Thank you, friend."

The bald warrior smiled, "We've all started as low-level Guardians, so helping is natural."

Speaking, he pointed to the gigantic wall in the distance that almost reached the clouds.

"See that? That's our Black Tortoise Fortress, eight hundred zhang high."

Shen Mo gazed at the massive, towering fortress, showing surprise.

The two headed toward the Black Tortoise Fortress, conversing as they walked.

Through this, Shen Mo learned the bald warrior's name and identity.

His name was Shi Dingyue, currently a Profound-rank Guardian of the Black Tortoise Fortress.

Beings summoned by Heaven's Will all started as Guardians.

Guardians were divided into four ranks: Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.

One had to bravely slay demons and accumulate military merits to advance in rank.

Above Guardians were Demon Suppression Generals.

However, Demon Suppression Generals were extremely rare.

Each General was the leader of a Demon Suppression Fortress.

Unless exceptionally powerful demons attacked the fortress, they would not take action.

Before long, under Shi Dingyue's guidance, Shen Mo arrived at the Guardian Barracks below the fortress.

This military camp covered a vast area.

The surrounding buildings were diverse.

Taverns, teahouses, pastry shops… even brothels.

Far more prosperous than where Shen Mo had been earlier.

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.

These buildings seemed to have been built around the military camp.

"We've arrived. This is the Demon Suppression Guard Camp."

Shi Dingyue smiled. "Since you've been conscripted as a Demon Suppression Guard, you'll need to register with the commander on duty today."

Shen Mo nodded.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, arrived at the camp's entrance.

At the entrance, two cultivators in black armor stood guard.

The aura they exuded was fierce.

Their four eyes scanned the surroundings menacingly.

Enough to deter any troublemakers.

Seeing Shi Dingyue approach, their expressions subtly changed.

There was even… a hint of disdain.

"Brother Shi? Aren't you off duty today? What are you doing at the camp?"

"Yeah, Brother Shi, we only get one day off a month. You should cherish it—go have some fun at the brothel!"

The two chuckled.

Shi Dingyue laughed heartily. "I was supposed to be off today, but after a few drinks, I saw this guy standing in the middle of the road."

"He's a Demon Suppression Guard conscripted by the will of the Heavenly Dao. There was a slight issue with his teleportation location, so I figured I’d bring him straight to the camp."

Only then did the two guards glance at Shen Mo.

They didn’t see anything unusual about him.

So they withdrew their gazes.

"You sure are kind, Brother Shi." They laughed.

Shi Dingyue waved his hand. "Who's the duty commander today?"

The Demon Suppression Guard on the left replied, "Commander Zhong Baisheng."

Shi Dingyue nodded. "Alright, I'll head over then."

Shen Mo followed.

The two of them entered the Demon Suppression Guard Camp.

Stepping inside, Shen Mo felt as if he had entered another world.

Even the air here seemed filled with an intense, battle-hungry energy.

Everyone had bulging muscles and sturdy physiques.

Completely different from the cultivators of Jing Kingdom, who focused solely on spiritual power and neglected physical training.

Shi Dingyue noticed his gaze and laughed. "Surprised, huh?"

"Let me tell you, most Demon Suppression Guards here practice blood energy techniques to some extent."

"You have to—otherwise, you won’t last on the battlefield against demonic energy."

"But you seem strong and well-built. You’ve trained in blood energy techniques, right?"

Shen Mo nodded.

"That’s good. Your survival rate will be much higher." Shi Dingyue laughed carelessly.

Shen Mo’s mouth twitched.

Was the survival rate of Demon Suppression Guards… that low?

"Look, that’s the commander's tent."

After walking a bit further, Shi Dingyue pointed at the imposing tent ahead with a grin.

Shen Mo nodded.

"Shi Squad Leader, what business do you have?"

The two soldiers at the tent entrance didn’t waste words and asked directly.

Shi Dingyue explained the situation.

"Shi Squad Leader, please wait outside. You—go in alone." One of the soldiers pointed at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo showed no fear. He nodded and strode confidently into the tent.
