203: Meeting
Yunzhou City.
As the hub of the province, it was prosperous and flourishing. The number of people coming and going was extremely high, with tens of thousands entering and exiting every day.
During its Peak, there were even over two hundred thousand people in a single day.
At this moment, the massive gates of Yunzhou City were crowded with people.
Countless representatives from noble families and major powers stationed in Yunzhou City were waiting expectantly at the city gates.
The onlookers among the commoners were densely packed, chatting away.
Among them, one thousand Demon Suppression Guards formed military ranks, their Aura imposing, standing on both sides.
Three figures stood at the very front.
They were Commander Zuo, Shen Commander, and Sun Commander, respectively.
The Aura of all three had already broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Of course, this was inseparable from the vast resources provided by Chu Jiang.
Among them, Commander Zuo had the most rapid Breakthrough, reaching the Peak Great Grandmaster Realm, only half a step away from the Peerless Grandmaster Realm.
"The strength of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division has increased again. Several Commanders have broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm."
Of the twelve regular Commanders in Yunzhou, eighty percent were at the Peak Grandmaster Realm, and although they were not far from the Great Grandmaster Realm.
But this step alone blocked too many people. Firstly, it required a massive amount of resources, and secondly, it required high talent.
"This is all the merit of the Chu Garrison Envoy. He wiped out three of the seven major sects in Yunzhou, and the various resources seized are piled up like mountains."
"I heard that the two hundred Demon Suppression Guards who followed the Chu Garrison Envoy at the beginning are all in the Vajra Realm, and there are seven or eight at the Grandmaster Realm. It's truly terrifying."
As they spoke.
The representatives of the various noble powers felt a chill.
Just the two hundred Demon Suppression Guards under Chu Jiang were stronger than the top combat power of the seven major sects.
Chu Jiang had only been promoted to Commander a few months ago, and now he was promoted to Yun Province Pacification Commissioner. His promotion speed was off the charts.
And it was a decree personally issued by the Chu Emperor.
The implication.
Was self-evident.
Usually, when a local province changes its Pacification Envoy, it is just a transfer order decided by the Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division.
It would not alarm the Chu Emperor.
This showed that Chu Jiang had already been specially favored by the Chu Emperor, and his status might rise even further in the future.
He absolutely must not be offended.
As a provincial Pacification Envoy, a high-ranking official governing a region, a single word from him could determine the life, death, and fate of countless people.
There were seventy or eighty representatives from influential forces in Yunzhou City, and basically everyone who could come had arrived.
After all.
Yunzhou City had many forces. Chu Jiang might not know who came, but he could tell at a glance who didn't.
There were even experts from other provinces who came to observe the ceremony.
Just outside the gates of Yunzhou City, over ten thousand people had gathered.
In the sky, Demon Suppression Guards were patrolling on flying exotic beasts.
On the ground, Demon Suppression Guards and scouts were patrolling within a radius of three hundred miles.
It could be described as watertight.
"I just discovered a secret!"
A young man's eyes flashed as he said: "I discovered that the Chu Garrison Envoy is not yet married!"
"Does this need you to say it? What kind of secret is this?" The noble scion beside him opened his mouth slightly, looking disdainful.
"In the past, some people sent him young girls under the age of twenty, but he refused them all. Could it be that he doesn't like that type?"
"Does he like mature women instead?"
As he spoke.
He walked towards his sister standing to the side and said: "Sister, I've found a good match for you. Do you want it? As long as you give the word..."
"Get lost!"
His sister's beautiful face flashed with anger.
The young man: "Sister, you are known as one of the four beauties of Yunzhou City. As long as you marry him, the status of our Jin family will rise straight up."
Slap!
The sister slapped him hard. "I want to show you why flowers are so red!"
"Ouch, the target is the newly appointed Yun Province Pacification Commissioner. Won't you consider it?"
The young man touched his right cheek, feeling a sharp pain. She hit really hard; she was indeed his own sister.
"Ah... You didn't say so earlier. If it's a Genius like the Chu Garrison Envoy, it's not impossible!"
A blush flashed across the sister's face. She thought her brother was trying to introduce her to some crooked melons and split dates again.
After all.
The Chu Garrison Envoy was not afraid of power, dared to speak and act, worked for the country and the people, was decisive in killing, and was also handsome, making countless young girls in Yunzhou dream of him.
And mature women too...
"Hey, let me think carefully, never mind!"
"Sister, you are beautiful, but your temper is too violent. I'm afraid that if you marry over there, you will anger the Garrison Envoy."
"And implicate our Jin..."
The young man continued.
Slap!
Another loud slap landed on the young man's left cheek.
Hmph!
"I've given you face. Today I must teach you a lesson!"
The second slap came again.
"Dad, save me! Sister is throwing a tantrum again!"
The young man covered his swollen cheeks, tears almost falling, and began to shout for help in the distance.
Seeing this ridiculous scene.
The gathered noble families were speechless.
The Jin family was considered a prominent family in Yunzhou City, but this Jin daughter was indeed hot-tempered and terrifying.
The groom was still on the way when he was scared unconscious, forcing the wedding to be cancelled.
Three marriages, three failures.
None succeeded, and the reasons each time were very bizarre.
...
I don't know how much more time passed.
"They've arrived!"
A Grandmaster-level expert looked into the distance and spoke.
Immediately after.
On the horizon, blurry black shadows gradually became clear. The sound of horse hooves thundered, getting closer and louder.
An army of two thousand Demon Suppression Guards was galloping over. As they approached within two miles of Yunzhou City, they began to slow down.
The leader was dressed in a flying fish suit, the embroidered spring blade at his waist shimmering like a cold star. He sat on a spirit horse with iron hooves emitting sparks, his eyes like torches, revealing an unparalleled domineering Aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
Just this Aura, the kingly Aura emitted at every moment, told everyone that this was the newly appointed Yun Province Pacification Commissioner — Chu Jiang!
At this moment.
Zuo Qiuming, Shen Tian, Sun Chengkong, and others also looked forward.
Leading twelve regular Commanders, they saluted Chu Jiang.
"Greetings, Garrison Envoy!"
"Congratulations to the Garrison Envoy for eliminating demons, clearing out rebels, and returning in triumph!"
Behind them.
Representatives of various forces also bowed and offered congratulations.
"Purple clouds come from the east, the Garrison Envoy returns in triumph, demons are executed, shaking Yunzhou with his might!"
"Purple clouds come from the east, the Garrison Envoy returns in triumph, demons are executed, shaking Yunzhou with his might!"
"Purple clouds come from the east, the Garrison Envoy..."
For a moment.
The sound echoed through the sky.
...
The experts looked up in admiration.
At such a young age, he had ascended to the throne of a provincial Pacification Commissioner.
Looking back at their own foolish children shouting and cheering.
They shook their heads helplessly.
Born under the same sky, but different people have different fates.
"My mom, the Grandmaster-level experts I can sense are already over a dozen. The Chu Garrison Envoy truly has experts like clouds under his command."
When everyone's gaze locked onto Fu Yunxuan on Chu Jiang's left, they were shocked again.
They couldn't quite see through her cultivation.
Great Grandmaster Realm?
After all, when people of a low Realm look at people of a high Realm, as long as the other party doesn't actively erupt, it is difficult to see their specific strength.
Rumor has it that Commander Fu is the Genius of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division second only to Chu Jiang. It seems the rumors are true; following Chu Jiang, there is no shortage of cultivation resources.
Coupled with her own extremely strong talent, the improvement in Realm naturally happened smoothly.
As for Wang Chao on the right, his cultivation was also a bit blurry.
"Commander Wang is only half a step away from the Great Grandmaster Realm. Within a month, he will definitely break through!" A white-haired old man said.
Even Zuo Qiuming and the others were extremely surprised.
Not to mention the high-end combat power above Grandmaster, just the Vajra Realm alone had broken through five hundred people, and the rest were mostly at the Peak Innate level.
These must be the new recruits from the Heavens Pride Gathering.
Relying on Chu Jiang's prestige.
Many experts joined the Demon Suppression Division.
However.
This was still far from enough for Chu Jiang.
Low-to-mid-end combat power was already crushing the enemy, but high-end combat power was slightly insufficient.
There were no Extreme Realm Great Grandmasters.
Above the Extraordinary Secret Realm, he was the only one.
After solving the matter of Prince Zhennan, it was time to enter the Tai Xuan Secret Realm and properly improve.
Chu Jiang's voice rang out:
"Return to the Demon Suppression Division. Those above Vice Commander, come to the Demon Suppression Hall for a meeting!"
