At first, his target was the Star Thieves.

Thanks to the intelligence resources of the Shadow Moon Tower, it wasn't difficult to locate a few Star Thief groups.

But now, a more challenging task lay ahead.

The Demon Suppression Abyss

Speaking of it, he did have some connection with the Demon Suppression Abyss.

The martial technique he cultivated, "Dark Prison Demon-Suppressing Fist," originated from General Jiang Ming, a Tier Nine powerhouse from the Demon Suppression Abyss.

This fist technique contains the ultimate truth of darkness and Demon Suppression Power, a Silver Level fist technique crafted specifically for slaying demons, consisting of three forms — Dark Prison Capturing Heaven, Demon Shadow Shattering Void, and Demon Suppressing Celestial Punishment.

Additionally, his Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder was specially effective against demons.

It seems that the Demon Suppression Abyss is indeed an ideal battlefield for him. There, he can slay demons, earn Evolution Points, and hopes to elevate his Orange Talent to a higher level while earning military contributions more easily than on other battlefields.

However, Qin Tian dared not underestimate the dangers of the Demon Suppression Abyss, as even Tier Seven, Eight, and Nine powerhouses have fallen there. He, a mere Tier Five Spiritualist, despite his many means, couldn't guarantee his safe return.

Also, he is an officer of the Seventh Bureau, and even if he wishes to apply to join the battle, he needs the approval of his superior.

Qin Tian wasn't in haste to make a decision but instead ordered Ye Chen of Shadow Moon Tower to compile detailed information on the Demon Suppression Abyss.

In less than half a day, Ye Chen sent a highly detailed report to Qin Tian.

After reading the report, Qin Tian pondered for a long time and finally called Yan Qing.

...

"You want to go to the Demon Suppression Abyss?"

Yan Qing's tone carried a hint of gravity: "Actually, the Seventh Bureau also received a notice from the Military Department, and according to higher orders, we must send some personnel in support of the Demon Suppression Abyss. If you actively apply to participate, theoretically, I should not stop you; instead, I should encourage it. But as your superior, I still hope you will consider carefully. The Demon Suppression Abyss is extremely dangerous, far more so than any battlefield you have participated in before."

Hearing Yan Qing's words, Qin Tian felt warm inside and said:

"Commander, thank you for your reminder, but my Night Demon bloodline allows me to grow stronger amidst the battlefield slaughter. I hope to temper myself in the Demon Suppression Abyss and climb to a higher realm."

Hearing this, Yan Qing was silent for a moment. Qin Tian had always been the most special subordinate to him.

He personally witnessed how Qin Tian, from a cloned soldier who freshly came out of the cabin, grew into a Tier Five military elite with a mutant bloodline in just over a year.

Moreover, Qin Tian had made significant contributions in numerous incidents, with abilities, strategies, and intellect far surpassing many geniuses from bloodline families.

During this period, Yan Qing did not provide much assistance, as Qin Tian carved out a path largely on his own.

Therefore, when Qin Tian made his decision, despite his internal disagreement, Yan Qing didn't want to interfere too much.

What kind of path Qin Tian wants to embark on should be his choice.

"Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't say much more. The Demon Suppression Abyss is extremely dangerous. You must prepare adequately and return safely," Yan Qing said slowly.

"Thank you, Commander."

Qin Tian saluted and then said, "Commander, I have another question."

"Go ahead."

"Recently, I've trained a group of Barbarian Warriors and intend to take them to the Demon Suppression Abyss with me. Is this feasible?" Qin Tian asked.

"Of course, it is."

Yan Qing's tone carried some surprise, but he still explained:

"Actually, the recruitment order for the Demon Suppression Abyss is mainly aimed at the bloodline family descendants. Some people enlisted later, with lower ranks and positions. If they can leverage family resources and lead a team to the Demon Suppression Abyss, all military contributions will be credited to them personally. When they safely return, regardless of rank, position, or power, they will be rapidly promoted. If anyone leads a team to the Demon Suppression Abyss, the Military Department will not only not stop them but will strongly support them."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian suddenly understood.

From the Military Department's perspective, it naturally hopes the bloodline family descendants actively lead teams to the Demon Suppression Abyss to reduce pressure, while bloodline families can rapidly enhance the ranks and positions of the younger generation.

From this view, it's a win-win situation.

Of course, for those powerless officers relying solely on themselves, such a "shortcut" for bloodline descendants is undoubtedly glaring.

They often climb from the bottom through realistic military contributions, step by step. They can't even mobilize a squad without layers of approval, unlike leveraging family resources.

On the battlefield of the Demon Suppression Abyss, they might risk their lives slaying several demons for a few points of military contributions, whereas bloodline descendants can simply command their family-provided squads to slay demons, pocketing hundreds or thousands of military contributions.

Is it fair?

It's indeed somewhat unfair.

But in this world, there is no absolute fairness.

"When do you plan to set off?" Yan Qing asked.

Qin Tian: "I'll make some more preparations in the coming days and officially set off in five days."

"Alright."

Yan Qing nodded and said, "I will greet those on the Demon Suppression Abyss side to try to assign you to a relatively safe zone."

"Thank you, Commander."

A smile appeared on Qin Tian's face. He was going to the Demon Suppression Abyss to improve his strength, not to recklessly take risks, so being able to slay demons in a relatively safe environment was naturally a good thing.

...

A few days later, in the research park

Qin Tian watched the few generals about to enter the Demon Suppression Abyss with him: Xiong, Terreda, Poisonous Widow, and Li Qi.

Xiong, Terreda, and Poisonous Widow were all Tier Five powerhouses.

While Li Qi had just returned from Hundred Springs Star a few days ago, he successfully broke through to Tier Five with the help of an underground Spiritual Spring.

Additionally, accompanying him on the expedition were those more than one hundred eighty Barbarian warriors.

In fact, his strongest war general was Feng Mochuan, a Tier Six powerhouse, who also wanted to follow him into battle. However, the cooperation between Lingfeng Trading Company and the Dongfang Clan had just started, and as the company's legal representative, Feng Mochuan had many matters to attend to. Besides, a Tier Six powerhouse in the open could serve well as a deterrent.

After all, the temptation of the Youth Potion was too great. Even with the Dongfang Family as backing, some forces would have ideas about it.

As for the Shadow Division members under Li Qi, more than half had successfully integrated into the Shadow Moon Tower and become registered assassins. They would rigorously implement the "Parasite Plan," continuously consuming the resources of Shadow Moon Tower until achieving domination.

"Is everyone ready?"

Qin Tian surveyed the group, having introduced the dangers within the Demon Suppression Abyss, yet there was no sign of tension or worry on their faces.

Xiong was peaceable and carefree, willing to go anywhere as long as there was enough food, though he still had the warmongering genes of a Beastman deep down.

Terreda, without much ado, was more excited than anyone at the mention of combat. Rather than staying idle in the mountains, he preferred fighting on dangerous battlefields. Only by becoming stronger could he confidently face invaders when returning home in the future.

Li Qi was a killer cultivated by the Wen Family from childhood, maintaining a calm and cautious heart regardless of how formidable an enemy he faced.

Compared to the others, Poisonous Widow perhaps had the weakest mindset, but after witnessing Qin Tian's miraculous abilities, she believed sticking close to him would at least ensure her survival, thus not feeling overly anxious.

"Ready."

The crowd replied in unison.

"Alright, let's depart!"

Qin Tian led the four out of the research building. Outside, over one hundred eighty Barbarian warriors, fully equipped, awaited them. Their black heavy armor gleamed cold and matte in the sunlight, each gripping a tall alloy shield in the left hand with an energy buffering crystal embedded in its center, emitting a dark red light, while holding different weapons like axes, spears, and great sabers in the right according to combat habits.

Qin Tian walked to the center of the formation. His gaze swept over the rugged faces, then he raised his hand and shouted:

"Board the ship!"

The hatch opened as the one hundred eighty warriors surged toward the assault ship like a black tide. The clanking of armor, the clinking of weapons, and the heavy breathing intertwined, forming a song for the indomitable warriors setting out on an expedition.

Roar!

The engine hummed a deep rumble, as the black ship shot into the sky like a sailing giant beast.
