395: When you first meet someone, you flip the table?

Liu Qing saw a headless corpse behind the main contingent, bound by a large iron chain, its flesh and blood a mangled mess.

He trembled all over; this was his younger brother, Liu Wuqing.

He suppressed his rage to the extreme, vowing silently that Chu Jiang would pay for this blood debt, and come to accompany him on the Yellow Springs Road.

Liu Qing took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said:

“Yue Province Pacification Commissioner, Liu Qing, along with the high-ranking this officials of the Yuezhou Demon Suppression Division and the people of Yue Province, respectfully welcome Inspector Chu here!”

Fu Yunxuan’s eyes turned cold as she looked at the tens of thousands of people outside the city who had come to greet him. This Liu Qing certainly knew how to stir up trouble.

There were also large numbers of ragged commoners, long malnourished, shivering in the cold wind.

In Liangan County, her master had killed Liu Wuqing, and the news had likely reached Liu Qing, which was why he had deliberately staged this scene.

“Liu Qing, do you know your crime?”

Chu Jiang’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at Liu Qing.

“Inspector Chu, what kind of crime are you referring to? This this official has toiled tirelessly for the nine counties of Yue Province, protecting its people. What crime have I committed?”

Liu Qing retorted, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He had committed a crime? You say so, and it is so? What a joke.

Even if it was meant to be a show of force, this wasn't the way to do it.

“You colluded with a foreign country, betrayed the interests of Great Chu, and trafficked people. Your ten unforgivable crimes warrant execution!”

Boom!

As he spoke, Chu Jiang pointed a finger, and a cold Qi spread out. But this seemingly light touch, in Liu Qing’s eyes, was like the finger of a god.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Crack!

At this moment, he felt like an ant, unable even to move, only feeling an overwhelming pressure on his body.

Was this truly the power a Heaven and Earth Realm cultivator could possess?

They were in the same Realm, yet the other party could crush him with a single finger.

“No… this is a false accusation! Chu Jiang, you abuse your authority, bully the weak, and harm loyal this officials! You will not die a good death!”

“Great Chu will sooner or later fall into the hands of treacherous this officials like you!”

Liu Qing roared in anger, beginning to argue.

But it was all in vain.

The next second.

Liu Qing’s magic power, Physical Body, and Divine Soul power were all frozen, and he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.

“Take him away!”

Fu Yunxuan waved her hand.

Immediately, several Demon Suppression Guards produced a large Spirit-Locking Chain and forcibly pierced through Liu Qing’s shoulder blades.

“No!”

“Ah… beast!”

“I am innocent! Traitorous this official, you will not have a good end!”

“…”

Liu Qing’s face was severely contorted, in extreme pain, and he cursed incessantly.

“Shut up! Is Shao Si someone you can curse?”

Smack!

A Demon Suppression Guard kicked him in his foul mouth, breaking several of his teeth on the spot, and blood spurted from his mouth.

The various forces present were shaken. They had not expected Chu Jiang to suppress Liu Qing on the spot. Shouldn’t they have probed each other, gathered evidence, and engaged in a tug-of-war for ten days to half a month?

On their first meeting, he directly overturned the table? No more acting?

Damn it, even the most reckless hotheads of the past hadn't dared to do this.

This person simply didn't follow the script; his next move was completely unpredictable.

Such a person instilled the most fear.

“My goodness, I’m not seeing things, am I? Liu Qing was actually defeated by a single finger, completely without resistance!”

A young Yue Province Prodigy’s eyes trembled.

The Yue Province Pacification Commissioner was a Qiankun Tenth Level expert. Although not a Heaven Ranking strongman, he was definitely a top-tier strongman in Yue Province, yet he was defeated so effortlessly by a single finger.

He had thought that at less than thirty years old, having broken through to Divine Power Tenth Level, he was already a top Prodigy in Yue Province. But compared to Chu Jiang, he was just a weakling.

The other Prodigies were no better off, each greatly astonished.

A Heaven Ranking strongman was absolutely…

Both the younger generation and the older generation were equally shocked.

Heaven Ranking level and non-Heaven Ranking level were completely two different worlds.

Although their Realms were the same, their combat power was as different as clouds and mud.

Suppressing a Qiankun Tenth Level expert with a single finger was not too difficult.

Damn it, this Chu Jiang was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight this year, yet he possessed Heaven Ranking level combat power. For these old men who had Cultivated for hundreds of years and still hadn't broken through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, or even the Faxiang Realm, how could they endure this?

Several Demon Suppression Guards tied Liu Qing and the three mountain bandits from the Soul Severing Mountain Range behind the Spirit Horses, to keep them company.

Afterward.

Ma Han took out the Image Stone and played the video for everyone.

The footage showed the Ghost Face Scholar confessing that the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner, Liu Qing, secretly offered tens of thousands of Martial Artists and commoners to the Sun Moon Country each year, clear evidence of his collusion with demonic forces.

“Damn it, is this Liu Qing even human?”

“Not slaying demons and devils, allowing them to run rampant—that was already my bottom line for him. I didn’t expect I still underestimated the wickedness of human hearts!”

“He actually actively sent people, sent sacrifices, to an enemy country!”

Some down-and-out Loose Cultivators and leaders of minor forces widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

No wonder the population of Three Prefectures decreased year by year. With these beasts in power, Three Prefectures would never know peace.

As for the major forces in Yue Province City, especially those with close ties to Liu Qing, they were already paralyzed with fear.

They had, more or less, participated in these matters, and even profited from them, receiving annual dividends.

Chu Jiang dared to touch the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner, let alone them.

Damn it.

Wasn't this Chu Jiang known as the God of Slaughter?

Why didn't he just kill Liu Qing just now and be done with it?

Now that he was alive, he might expose the relevant parties who cooperated with him behind the scenes.

If not for the vast disparity in strength, they would already be planning to silence him.

Chu Jiang sat on the Fire Kirin, sneering: “This this official was ordered to inspect Three Prefectures. Upon arriving in Yue Province, I discovered that the Yue Province Pacification Commissioner colluded with a foreign country, cooperated with demons, and harmed the people. Truly audacious!”

“Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!”

“Your subordinates are here!”

The four bowed their hands.

“This this official suspects that there are demons and foreign spies hidden in Yue Province City. You all are to lead the Demon Suppression Guards to conduct a thorough “search” house by house. Not a single person must be let go!”

“Yes!”

The Four Vajras responded.

Chu Jiang continued:

“Principal General Zhao, lead the Tiger Brave Army to take over the Yue Province City defenses. Without this this official’s order, no one is to leave the city!”

“This general obeys!”

Principal General Zhao nodded, then led three thousand Tiger Brave Army soldiers to swiftly enter Yue Province City and take over the city defenses.

A moment later.

Thump, thump, thump!

Wang Chao and the others rushed into Yue Province City, shouting: “There are demonic rebels hidden in Yue Province City! Search the entire city, do not miss a single spot!”

“Anyone who resists is an accomplice of the demons and shall be killed on the spot!”

“Yes!”

Over a thousand Demon Suppression Guards were divided into five large teams, each searching a district of the city, starting with the prominent noble families along the main roads.

Xiaobai and the two rascals, Long Teng, exchanged glances, quietly jumped off Chu Jiang’s shoulder, and nimbly ran into the city.

Fu Yunxuan glanced, then turned to Chu Jiang and said: “Master, what should we do with these disaster victims? We didn’t bring any provisions on this trip!”

After a Martial Artist enters the extraordinary Realm, they only need to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and can go months or even a year without eating.

But ordinary Martial Artists and commoners cannot.

Even Martial Artists would get hungry after a few days without food.

Chu Jiang smiled faintly: “No rush, someone will naturally provide disaster relief for us. These aristocratic families are all rolling in wealth. Why would we worry about not having food?”

These aristocratic families have been plundering the people’s wealth daily. Today is a good day to make them all spit it out.
