201: Seven western states are shocked and react in all directions

Chu Jiang’s various deeds in Yun Province, including the astonishing feats of killing a Golden Core Realm expert with one punch and capturing a Silver Moon Three-Star top assassin alive, quickly spread among various major forces.

Sizhou Demon Suppression Division.

Pacification Envoy Jin Shi slammed the table, saying, “Good heavens, killing a Golden Core Realm expert with one punch? This guy is even fiercer than Ye Lingkong! Amazing!”

Seeing the shattered table scattered on the floor.

Commander Xing shook his head: “Lord Pacification Envoy, calm down. This is already the thirty-eighth table you’ve broken this year!”

Zhang Tie was even more puzzled.

He secretly wondered: Could Commander Chu be a Reincarnation of a mighty expert?

However, he was also happy that the Demon Suppression Division had such a powerful individual.

“Old Xing, I’m happy! Go get a dozen more tables! Today, I’m going to smash as many as I want!”

Commander Xing: “…”

Zhang Tie sighed, his Pacification Envoy was acting crazy again.

…

Earth Fiend Hall.

In a hidden underground palace, on the thirty-third step, stood a black Dragon chair, on which sat a purple-clad Saintess, possessing peerless grace.

Below, high-ranking officials of the Earth Fiend Hall on both sides were discussing the destruction of the Yun Province Di Sha sub-hall, arguing fiercely and each sticking to their own side.

Some suggested sending experts to completely eliminate Chu Jiang, believing he posed a significant threat.

Thump, thump, thump!

A core member of the Earth Fiend Hall stepped into the underground palace and knelt on one knee:

“Reporting to the Saintess, among the Seven Great Sects in Yun Province, three have been annihilated by him: Myriad Sound Valley, Golden Saber Gate, and Purple Flame Demon Sect.”

“Additionally, Chu Jiang encountered an assassination attempt by Mandala at the Heaven’s Pride Gathering; the first assassin was killed by Chu Jiang with one punch.”

“The second assassin was a Silver Moon Three-Star, codenamed Asura, who was captured alive by Chu Jiang!”

“A bit interesting. A Silver Moon Three-Star assassin is not someone an ordinary person can withstand,” the Saintess on the black Dragon chair said with a faint smile.

“What? Is the information reliable?”

The high-ranking officials in the underground palace were shocked. This guy’s Cultivation speed was like a rocket!

“Absolutely reliable. I verified the intelligence from several sources, and it’s confirmed to be accurate!”

Everyone’s faces turned ashen.

“Saintess, Chu Jiang not only wiped out the Demon headquarters in Yun Province but also swept through the Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall’s main branch, leaving no one behind. Tianji Star was also captured alive.”

“This Chu Jiang is going too far! Does he really think he’s all that?”

“The experiments in the Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall were nearing success, and crucial data has now fallen into Chu Jiang’s hands. We must retrieve it!”

“If either Celestial Killing Star or Tian Bai Star were here, they could easily crush him with one hand. Unfortunately, Tian Bai Star went to Sun Moon Country, and Celestial Killing Star went to find the Demon Ancient Road with the Demons.”

Among the seventy-two stars of the Earth Fiend Hall, the higher the ranking, the stronger the individual’s power.

Celestial Killing Star and Tian Bai Star were both super powerful experts ranked in the top fifty, with Faxiang Realm Cultivation.

The high-ranking officials gnashed their teeth in hatred. They were extremely enraged by Chu Jiang, who had repeatedly disrupted their plans, wishing they could tear him into ten thousand pieces.

Although the Lion King No. 7 human-Demon experiment data from the Yun Province Earth Fiend Hall could only mass-produce Grandmaster Realm human-Demons, it was still a crucial step in their plan.

Losing it was painful.

Originally, the finished products would have been ready in another month, and the experimental data would have been sent to the headquarters.

But Chu Jiang had swept them away prematurely.

Everything came to naught.

“Please make your decision, Saintess!”

The purple-clad Saintess gently waved her jade hand, and her red lips parted slightly: “Celestial Swift Star, go quickly and investigate. If his strength is inferior to yours, kill him without mercy; if you don’t have absolute certainty, retreat immediately!”

“As you command, Saintess!”

A benevolent-looking monk bowed.

“Celestial Swift Star’s speed is considered the best among Divine Power Realm experts. Even ordinary Faxiang Realm experts can’t catch up to his speed.”

“Even in terms of combat power, he ranks among the top five in the Western Earth Fiend Hall!”

“This will surely beat the living daylights out of Chu Jiang!”

“I think it’s better to capture him alive. Don’t you think Chu Jiang is most suitable as a human-Demon vessel? He could certainly create a peerless human-Demon.”

With Celestial Swift Star making a move, no one thought it would fail.

The Saintess continued: “I have already sent word for Tian Bai Star to return. He will arrive back in the Western Seven Provinces in as little as one month, or as long as three months.”

“At that time, it will be Chu Jiang’s death day!”

With that said.

The Saintess’s gaze turned towards Yun Province, revealing a cold killing intent.

This Chu Jiang posed too great a threat to the Earth Fiend Hall, and his strength was increasing too rapidly.

He had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

To avoid affecting the overall situation.

Everyone present’s pupils constricted. Tian Bai Star was the highest-ranked individual in the Western Earth Fiend Hall’s sequence, at forty-two, having entered the Faxiang Realm three hundred years ago.

He was responsible for establishing a branch in Sun Moon Country.

The Saintess truly thought highly of him.

However.

Being cautious was not wrong; Chu Jiang’s growth was truly astonishing.

“The Saintess is wise!”

The high-ranking officials bowed and said.

“You may leave!”

The Saintess waved her hand.

“Yes!”

Everyone exited the underground palace.

“Demon Ancient Road, descend quickly! I can’t wait any longer!”

The Saintess sneered, then her figure dissipated like a dream from the black Dragon chair.

As if she had never existed.

…

Fire Province, Mandala stronghold.

A Mysterious Shadow, completely covered, quickly entered the stronghold.

The stronghold leader, Fat Ling, saw the newcomer and said grimly: “The mission failed. The intelligence you provided was severely inaccurate, causing us to lose a top Silver Moon Three-Star assassin.”

Mysterious Shadow: “How is this possible? His strength is only that of a Peerless Grandmaster. Aren’t Silver Moon Three-Star assassins known as invincible within the same Realm, capable of easily assassinating even Golden Core Tenth-level experts?”

He had paid a huge price and severely overestimated Chu Jiang’s strength.

He had hired a top assassin who was an entire major Realm above.

Yet, it still failed.

The second failure.

Damn it.

If it weren’t for Mandala’s good reputation over the years, he would have suspected if they had just sent some low-level assassin to kill Chu Jiang.

After all.

Mandala only collected money and would not refund it regardless of whether the assassination succeeded or failed.

Mysterious Shadow’s face turned cold.

This Chu Jiang had killed his nephew; he and Chu Jiang were irreconcilable.

He gritted his teeth.

“Continue the assassination! Send out a Golden Crown-level assassin!”

Fat Ling said calmly: “You now need to pay three times the price!”

“Three times? Are you serious? Why is he so expensive?!”

Mysterious Shadow was extremely displeased. He had only unexpectedly come across a windfall. His remaining assets could only afford to hire one more Divine Power Realm assassin.

“Chu Jiang has now been personally decreed by the Chu Emperor to be promoted to Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, becoming a high-ranking official with his status rising sharply. Tripling the price is a discount for old customers.”

“For ordinary people, it would be more than quadruple the price!”

“Now, to assassinate Chu Jiang, the risk we bear is not small. You should consider it carefully first!”

Fat Ling explained.

“Fine, three times it is. I’ll come back after a while!”

Mysterious Shadow’s eyes were practically spitting fire.

“Try to be quick. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, Chu Jiang’s growth is rapid. You’d best gather the funds within a year.”

“Otherwise, I’m not sure if our Mandala can still accept your order.”

Fat Ling reminded him.

Although Cultivating to the Transcendent Realm was fraught with difficulties in Breakthrough.

Most people might not even advance one level in decades.

But for a peerless Prodigy like Chu Jiang, he couldn't be judged by common sense.

Others took decades, while he only needed a year, or even a few months. Breaking through to the Divine Power Realm was not very difficult for him.

“Got it!”

Mysterious Shadow frowned deeply, his lips tightly pressed, his body trembling slightly as he suppressed his agitated emotions.

Then.

He took a deep breath.

And quickly left.

Along the way, he cursed under his breath:

“That damn brat Chu Jiang! This old man will surely tear you to pieces!”
