293: The Demon Suppression Division's top brass are discussing matters, and Chu Jiang is charging straight into the pile of corpses.

"Rushuang, my heart can only hold you. No matter how beautiful others are, they are just withered beauties. Only you understand me best!" Prince Yan said.

The woman in the plain dress, whose real name was Liu Rushuang, was someone he met while studying at Heavenly Destiny Observation between the ages of five and twelve.

In his childhood, Liu Rushuang had just made some progress in her Cultivation, but every month she would use her not-so-skilled Yin power to nourish his Meridians. Although it was very crude, it left an indelible mark on his childhood.

Their relationship could almost be described as inseparable.

His desire to contend for the throne was, to a large extent, influenced by her.

Simply because she said: she wanted peace in the world and no more disputes.

He went from an unknown prince, originally someone who could have enjoyed wealth and luxury, but instead, he braved thorns and thistles to become one of the Three Kings.

He bravely contended for the throne.

"Your Highness, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, so please do not say these things!" Liu Rushuang's heart was surging, and a blush appeared on her face. She did not want to discuss this matter in depth.

"Good, I will listen to you!"

"Don't worry, when I ascend to the throne, I will only make you my empress and will not marry anyone else!" Prince Yan promised.

"Your Highness, I am not as good as you think. You do not need to suppress your desires for me. I do not object to you having three wives and four concubines. As an emperor, how can you only favor one person?" Liu Rushuang's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, but she quickly hid it.

Although Prince Yan had wives and concubines, he had not had any children, which was a disadvantage for Prince Yan in his struggle for the throne.

Marrying a wife was merely for the needs of contending for the throne.

To this day, he had not shared a bed with them.

Prince Yan loved her too deeply, but she was no longer the child she once was.

Prince Yan was silent. He was truly not interested in other women.

Although, for an emperor to only love one person was extremely ridiculous.

It was even misunderstood.

But, he insisted on doing so.

Those who stood in his way would all die!

"Your Highness, I still have matters to attend to. I will take my leave first!" Liu Rushuang said softly.

Prince Yan nodded.

Subsequently.

Prince Yan summoned Su Lengyue again.

"This trip, you must take down Chu Jiang. Do you have confidence?" Prince Yan said indifferently.

Su Lengyue, with her exquisite beauty, replied decisively: "Yes!"

Prince Yan was determined, and she had no choice but to obey.

She had full confidence in her charm. For so many years, no one had been able to resist her.

One smile could overturn a city, making countless people's Divine Souls fall into a daze.

He was just a Pacification Envoy from a remote area; he would surely fall under her spell.

Prince Yan nodded in satisfaction, then took out a square, beast-patterned golden box, which floated in the air as he waved his large hand.

Whoosh!

Pop, squirm...

A mass of milky-white liquid was injected into Su Lengyue's delicate body, instantly absorbed by her skin and becoming invisible.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Su Lengyue exclaimed, her face pale.

But she did not feel any discomfort.

"This is Yang Yin Gu, one of the ten most unique Gu from Southern Xinjiang. As long as he has intercourse with you, you will be able to control his life and death. If you tell him to go east, he would never dare to go west!" Prince Yan's eyes were cold. He always sought absolute control in his actions. If Chu Jiang were to become his blade, he naturally could not allow him to bite his master.

Su Lengyue also had other Gu worms placed on her by him. His control over Su Lengyue naturally meant control over Chu Jiang.

Not just him, the entire Prince Yans Mansion faction was like this; what they wanted was absolute loyalty.

Of course, Liu Rushuang was not included.

Although she had repeatedly asked him to place a Gu on her, he had not agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for bestowing the Gu!"

Su Lengyue's expression changed from surprise to joy. With this Yang Yin Gu, taking down Chu Jiang would be as easy as pie.

Having a provincial governor as her servant also seemed quite good.

"Tomorrow, I will send eight top-grade courtesans, led by you, to Yun Province to represent me in comforting Chu Jiang!"

"Go!"

Sending beauties naturally meant not sending just one person; sending a group would better conceal the purpose.

"Yes... Lengyue takes her leave!"

Su Lengyue bowed in gratitude and walked away with light, swaying steps.

...

Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division, Headquarters Grand Hall.

Several high-ranking officials of the Demon Suppression Division gathered for a meeting.

There were four people in total.

The Demon Suppression Tower Guardian, Yuchi Shan.

The Lord Chief of the Demon Suppression Hall, Zu Cang.

The Hall Master of Pill Hall, Lu Hou.

The Hall Master of Qi Hall, Taishuzi.

Yuchi Shan said: "Chu Jiang's Demon Suppression Tower rating was initially Ultra-A grade, but it was concealed for fear of being too ostentatious. Now that there is no need for it, he should naturally be compensated!"

Chu Jiang's talent was the most abnormal among the Demon Suppression Tower trials of this session; he was the only one who passed the ninth floor.

He was the second Prodigy in the Demon Suppression Division in three thousand years, second only to the current Lord of the Demon Suppression Division, Yuan Shouyi.

In order not to alert and provoke assassination attempts from top-tier demonic forces, they did not publicize him with great fanfare. They planned to train him in a local area for a few years before sending him back to the Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division for extensive cultivation.

However, Chu Jiang's rise was too rapid.

He could now stand on his own.

There was no longer any need to hide him.

Zu Cang was burly, with defined muscles, dark skin, and thick arms covered in battle scars.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's just directly announce him as one of the Lord Shao Si candidates, so those three won't keep setting their sights on him."

They were well aware of all of Chu Jiang's information and all of his deeds, and he indeed had the qualifications to contend for the position of Lord Shao Si.

Lu Wang, in a green robe, was gentle and refined. He said: "I have no objection!"

Taishuzi, with white hair and completely restrained Aura, spoke: "Agreed!"

Lu Wang continued: "As for the compensation, my Pill Hall will provide three Enlightenment Leaves."

Taishuzi: "I just happened to acquire a few Dragon scales, which can be refined into an amulet to resist attacks from the Heaven and Earth Realm Sixth Stage."

Yuchi Shan laughed loudly and said: "Since you two are so generous, I won't be stingy either!"

With that.

He took out a Magic Treasure glowing with red light.

"Demon Slayer Blade · Breaking Evil!"

Zu Cang's brow twitched. "You're quite willing to part with that. This Demon Slayer Blade is almost about to advance to a Medium Grade Magic Treasure, isn't it!"

The blade of Breaking Evil was carved with ancient Demon Suppression runes, capable of severing all evil Qi, and was forged by an ancient Artifact Refiner.

"Hehe, it's rare for the Demon Suppression Division to produce such an excellent junior; naturally, we must Cultivate him vigorously!" Yuchi Shan said loudly.

Chu Jiang's exceptional talent might lead to the birth of a second Rongtian Stage in the Demon Suppression Division in the future, which would significantly reduce the pressure faced by the Demon Suppression Division.

"I'm not as extravagant as you, but I just happened to obtain a fifth-grade Ice Spirit Immortal Fruit, which can allow someone to possess an Ice Cold Body!" Zu Cang said with a faint smile. That kid Chu Jiang likes to condense an ice throne to show off, so this should be just what he wants.

"Three days later, after I finish refining these Dragon scales, let Feng Mingxi Mountain go to Yun Province again!" Taishuzi said in a deep voice. They had to stay in the Royal Capital and it was not convenient for them to leave. To be honest, there were not many Heaven-Grade Pacification Envoys who could be mobilized in the Royal Capital.

They all had missions, and the world was vast, with dangers lurking everywhere, requiring manpower everywhere.

"Agreed!"

The several Big Boss nodded one after another.

...

Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Back mountain.

One thousand Demon Suppression Guards stood majestically in the wind, all of them Chu Jiang's personal troops, the elite of the elites.

Fu Yunxuan, Wang Chao, Ma Han, and Zhao Hu were leading the troops and waiting.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

A domineering figure instantly appeared before everyone.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

The four said in unison.

Chu Jiang nodded.

He had received news and had confirmed the approximate location of Corpse Mountain.

It was precisely in Yunshan County, Dahe Prefecture.

Since it was discovered, it should be swiftly annihilated.

Annihilate the enemy first.

Among his personal troops, although some had improved their strength, they had not yet undergone true brutal combat and had not completed their transformation.

The trip to Corpse Mountain could indeed temper them.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang gently patted the purple gold gourd hanging from his waist.

In an instant, the purple gold gourd burst forth with light, growing with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into an enormous, sky-reaching warship that spanned the sky.

The entire warship shimmered with purple light, its bow carved with a ferocious giant beast, and its sides adorned with sharp spikes, appearing magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"Follow this Seat to battle!" Chu Jiang roared, his voice like a grand bell.

"Yes!" The thousand Demon Suppression Guards responded with a thunderous roar. Immediately after, they moved in perfect unison, surging onto the sky-reaching warship like a tide.

Moments later, with a violent whooshing sound, the sky-reaching warship shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring, speeding towards Dahe Prefecture.

Target — Corpse Mountain!
