364: You guys come together

"Little Monk, they are the hosts, and you are the guest. How can you compare?"

"Besides, who said they are Spirit Beasts? They are clearly living people! If you don't believe me, ask others!"

Yue Xuanji sneered, her smile captivating and naturally alluring.

"Exactly! Who said they are Spirit Beasts? They are clearly people!"

"Your eating is too unsightly!"

Many female cultivators also spoke up.

Fa Wu Hai asked several people in a row, and not a single person said they were Spirit Beasts.

"You... this is calling a deer a horse, simply absurd!"

Fa Wu Hai was furious. They insisted on calling beasts 'people,' and no one even objected.

Damn it, what a huge double standard!

The same eating method.

Chu Jiang's Spirit Beasts were cute, but his Spirit Beast's eating was unsightly.

Wait... something's wrong. These few women are saying *his* eating is unsightly.

Damn it!

"Roar!"

The Spirit Leopard seemed to sense its master's rage, baring its fangs, its eyes gleaming fiercely, and began to roar, preparing to pounce on the few people.

"Daring to cause trouble at the Deputy Commander's succession ceremony, you're courting death!"

A tower-like figure instantly vanished from its spot.

Before it could gather its strength, a huge force acted upon the Spirit Leopard.

Boom!

Zhang Long kicked out, sending the Spirit Leopard flying backward, breaking more than a dozen of its ribs, and sending it out of the main hall.

It was captured on the spot by the Demon Suppression Guard.

If it weren't for the impropriety of shedding blood in the main hall, Zhang Long would have killed the Spirit Leopard with a single strike.

"Well done!"

Not only the female cultivators, but even some male Prodigies clapped and praised. This Fa Wu Hai kept looking at the female Prodigies from their own factions, almost drooling.

Their own people hadn't even eaten yet, and this outsider was already coveting them.

"Control your dog. Spirit Beasts are not allowed in the main hall. Next time, it won't be as simple as just a kick!"

Zhang Long said coldly.

After speaking.

He left without looking back, continuing his patrol.

"You..."

Fa Wu Hai was enraged. His Spirit Beast was severely injured by a kick in front of everyone, which was undoubtedly a harsh slap to his face.

"Buddha Son, be careful with your words and actions!"

Xuan Kong, who was not far away, hurried over to calm Fa Wu Hai's emotions, lest he make any rash moves.

He was also speechless.

On someone else's territory, why compete with a beast?

"I'll endure you for one more moment..." Fa Wu Hai's face was as dark as water. During the upcoming competition, he would ruthlessly trample their Deputy Commander underfoot to vent his hatred.

On the other side, Chu Jiang naturally noticed what was happening but only glanced at it before retracting his gaze. Such a minor matter was not worth his personal intervention.

Zu Cang and other high-ranking officials of the Demon Suppression Division were currently taking Chu Jiang through the next part of the succession ceremony: meeting people.

Of course, it was only a dozen important factions; it was impossible for him to meet everyone present, as there were too many people.

"This is Prince Jin, also the current Supervisor!"

The high-ranking officials introduced him.

Chu Jiang looked over.

He saw.

A burly man, dressed in a four-clawed python robe, with a steady demeanor, looking at Chu Jiang with a slight smile.

"Greetings, Prince Jin!"

Chu Jiang cupped his hands slightly, his tone flat, and said ceremoniously.

This fellow had originally wanted to monitor the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division. Although he later gave him some treasures to win over people's hearts, his attitude was neither good nor bad.

"Young Master Chu is indeed a divinely talented martial artist. It is Great Chu's fortune to have such a peerless Genius as you!"

"If you have any needs in the future, the imperial court will fully support you!"

Prince Jin said with a light smile.

On the side, Prince Qi's eyes twitched. When did his elder brother become so clever? Instead of saying he represented Prince Jin's Mansion, he said he represented the imperial court in a condolences, and with his identity as Supervisor, he undoubtedly won over some people's hearts in advance and established a persona of cherishing talent.

"This is Prince Qi!"

The high-ranking officials continued to introduce them, and they moved to the next location.

Unlike Prince Jin, Prince Qi had a handsome and relatively young face, exuding an elegant aura, seemingly without any pretense, and able to get along with anyone.

But Chu Jiang knew that such people were often the most dangerous.

After a few perfunctory exchanges, he left.

The third meeting arranged was with Medicine King Valley.

After becoming the Deputy Commander, he also learned some important matters from the high-ranking officials. Medicine King Valley and the Demon Suppression Division had cooperated for over three thousand years, and their relationship was extremely close.

The two had an excellent relationship.

"Chu Jiang, this is Senior Ling Xuzi, Pill King, a Peak Fifth-grade Alchemist, and one of the top ten Alchemists in the world today!"

Zu Cang said. Medicine King Valley was a strategic partner of the Demon Suppression Division, and a part of Pill Hall Master Lu Hou's Alchemy skills was inherited from Medicine King Valley.

Ling Xuzi had lived for two thousand three hundred years, and his Alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle. Even for a Sixth-grade Medicinal Pill, he had a twenty to thirty percent chance of successfully refining it.

However, his Lifespan was nearing its end, with only a few years left.

He was practically a living fossil, a walking ancient history.

"Greetings, Senior Ling Xuzi!"

Chu Jiang cupped his hands. Ling Xuzi was considered a long-lived star; he had witnessed the inauguration of three Commanders of the Demon Suppression Division.

This old man had indeed contributed greatly to the cause of demon extermination.

"With you in the Demon Suppression Division, Yuan Shouyi will surely be much more relaxed. If you have any needs, speak up quickly. Medicine King Valley will not refuse within its capabilities!"

Ling Xuzi's hair was white, and he exuded kindness and benevolence.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Chu Jiang thanked him. This Senior Ling Xuzi was indeed a straightforward person.

Just as he was deep in thought, a soft call came, drawing his attention to the person beside Ling Xuzi.

"Are you the Deputy Commander?"

A girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, looked at Chu Jiang, her eyes pure and flawless.

She wore a short skirt, her figure petite and lovely, with a pair of beautiful long legs, exquisitely proportioned.

Her delicate face was slightly pale, giving her a delicate beauty.

"Hmm, and you are?"

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, looking at the girl's delicate face. Although her complexion was a bit pale, her whole body was filled with a spiritual aura, a creation of nature's wonders.

This should be innate, not due to a poor Physique.

The girl lowered her head and said softly, with a slight tremor in her voice, "My name is... Dan Chen. Can I call you... Brother Chu Jiang?"

"Dan Chen?" Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly. Why did this name sound familiar, like an old acquaintance? Her personality was also quite similar, low-key and shy, making her seem pitiful.

It was their first meeting, and she immediately called him 'brother.' He could only attribute it to the Pure Yang Immortal Seed. Thinking of this, Chu Jiang smiled slightly at Dan Chen: "Of course you can. Welcome to the banquet!"

Seeing Chu Jiang's smile, Dan Chen felt a tingling sensation all over, a flush of crimson flashed across her face, and her heart rate quickened, unable to stop.

"Tha...thank you!"

Dan Chen said softly, with a slight blush on her face, stammering.

Chu Jiang was silent.

This girl blushes too easily, doesn't she?

Even more exaggerated than Fu Yunxuan. Fu Yunxuan at least blushes quickly when doing *those* things, but Dan Chen blushes just from normal conversation.

This scene fell into the eyes of other guests and many old Seniors, all of whom showed expressions of admiration, and even 'auntie smiles.'

It seems this direct disciple of Medicine King Valley is almost smitten.

Afterward, Chu Jiang also met with Xuanqing Sect, Bixiao Palace, Golden Sun Sect, Guangming Temple, and other major Schools.

Only then did he return to his seat.

"Hmm?"

"Why is it her!"

Chu Jiang's gaze swept across the entire hall, spotting a somewhat familiar figure.

Isn't this the woman from the 'Please Call Me Holy Maiden' in the black mirror? He initially thought it was a fake photo.

No... it's not her.

The appearance was eighty percent similar, but the temperament was vastly different, by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

One was cold and aloof, the other naturally alluring.

"Who is this person?"

Chu Jiang asked.

"Lord Shao Si, she is the Saintess of Miao Frontier, Yue Ruyin!"

The person beside him respectfully replied.

Hearing this.

Chu Jiang was eighty percent sure that this woman was the Saintess from the black mirror. As for the person in the fairy bathing picture, her relationship with her should be extraordinary.

"Lord Shao Si, do we know each other? You're staring at me like that; I'll get shy!" Yue Xuanji said with an alluring smile, her voice full of laziness and charm.

Dragging her graceful figure, she approached Chu Jiang step by step.

At a certain seat, Fa Wu Hai watched as both Dan Chen and Yue Xuanji leaned towards Chu Jiang. He trembled with rage, his face ashen, his teeth almost grinding to dust.

The two most stunning beauties present were both drawn to Chu Jiang.

These were the women he had his eyes on. Aside from his looks, where was he inferior to Chu Jiang? Whether in strength or status.

Just by virtue of a face, he made so many proud daughters of heaven fall for him. Is there no justice in this world? Can one do whatever they want just because they are handsome?

He was going crazy. This should have been his. Couldn't these beauties appreciate him?

Crack, crunch!

The wine glass in Fa Wu Hai's hand was instantly crushed, turning into fragments.

"Lord Shao Si, I am Fa Wu Hai, the Buddha Son of Guangming Temple. I wonder if I can ask Lord Shao Si for a few pointers!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. The lively atmosphere that had just been present instantly vanished.

The masters of many major factions looked at Fa Wu Hai as if he were an idiot.

The Demon Suppression Division's Deputy Commander's succession ceremony did have this tradition of competing and exchanging pointers in martial arts with Prodigies from various major factions.

But that was after the banquet ended, and the process hadn't reached that point yet. This fellow wanted to compete with Chu Jiang in advance, wasn't that a slap in the face of the Demon Suppression Division?

"Buddha Son, what are you doing? Don't be foolish, quickly go back!"

Xuan Kong was speechless again. Was there something wrong with Fa Wu Hai's brain? Couldn't he wait another hour or two before competing with Chu Jiang?

"Senior, I'm just itching for a fight. If Lord Shao Si is unavailable, I can... wait a little longer!"

Fa Wu Hai suppressed his anger and jealousy, saying with a tremor.

Hearing Fa Wu Hai's provocation, some high-ranking officials' expressions were not very good.

Chu Jiang's expression remained indifferent throughout. He looked at the people around him, all in a state of watching a show, eager for a fight to break out immediately.

Jealousy distorts people.

He had long anticipated that someone would jump out to provoke him at the ceremony, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon. They were truly impatient.

But one person was too uninteresting; there was no challenge at all.

"You are too weak!"

He looked at the few young Prodigies from various factions who were already eager to try. It seemed many people harbored the desire to fight him and become famous throughout the world.

Chu Jiang said indifferently:

"Don't say I'm bullying you. All of you, come at me!"
