490: Enter Yuezhou City and kill

Chu Jiang's face was like frost, his Aura as cold as ice, and he said, "All aristocratic families involved in selling the Blight Rice shall have their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated. The masterminds… shall be dismembered by nine horses!"

Zhang Huan and the other ten personal guards nodded in unison. They understood their Lord perfectly; he had always detested those who harmed the common people. Whether in Yun Province or the Three Prefectures of the East, such individuals were always executed without mercy or leniency.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out, as two more figures swiftly arrived.

"Lord, we detected someone secretly collecting the souls of the common people in Tianzhong Commandery, Yue Province. This person is skilled in Gu techniques and should be a powerful expert from Miao Jiang. Your humble subordinates were incompetent; even with our combined strength, we failed to suppress him. Instead, he self-destructed to escape, and we only managed to retrieve this vessel for collecting souls."

Wang Chao and Ma Han reported with cupped fists, their faces filled with shame. They presented a purple soul lamp with both hands. Within the soul lamp, a faint purple flame burned, already imprisoning thousands of souls.

"These scoundrels truly deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces!"

Fu Yunxuan's beautiful face was frosty, her eyes filled with rage, and her voice was utterly cold. No matter where they went, there were always these beasts who regarded the common people as mere grass, as if the killing would never end.

Chu Jiang waved his large hand, and the Soul Guiding Lamp was instantly drawn into his grasp. He examined it carefully.

[Soul Guiding Lamp, Medium Grade Gu treasure, can collect wandering souls in the world, primarily the 'Fu Shi Po' and 'Tun Zei Po' that have left the body. Currently contains the souls of 3,200 people.]

In an instant, Chu Jiang understood the malicious intent of the Miao Jiang people. They first made the common people eat the Blight Rice, and once the two souls left the body, they would use this Soul Guiding Lamp to collect them, then bring them back to Miao Jiang to be used in creating the Bing Shen Plan.

"They are truly courting death!"

Chu Jiang's body exuded a murderous Aura as he coldly uttered a sentence, then waved his large hand, placing the Soul Guiding Lamp into his spatial storage.

"Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!"

"Your humble subordinates are here!"

The four stepped forward at the sound of their names, their expressions solemn.

"You four, immediately lead four hundred Demon Suppression Guard to swiftly clear Yue Province. Anyone involved in this matter shall be killed without mercy!"

That bone-chilling coldness permeated the entire warship.

"Your humble subordinates obey!"

Wang Chao and the other four responded in unison, turning without hesitation. Each leading one hundred Demon Suppression Guard, they transformed into four streaks of light and vanished into the horizon.

"003, 004, you two follow them. If you encounter anyone from Miao Jiang, be sure to capture and suppress them alive!"

Chu Jiang's voice echoed in the Void Realm. Immediately after, two Rongtian Stage Blood Puppets disappeared into thin air, leaving only a ripple in space.

"Fu Yunxuan!"

Fu Yunxuan stepped forward, cupping her fists to receive the order.

"You will lead five hundred Demon Suppression Guard and swiftly proceed to Xiang Province. Confiscate all devices used for collecting souls. As for those illicit profiteers, leave not a single one… kill them!"

"Your humble subordinate obeys!"

Fu Yunxuan received the order and turned, about to leave.

"Snow Phoenix, you will accompany her. If you encounter anyone of value, suppress them as well and bring them back to me."

"Yes, Master!"

Snow Phoenix's voice was clear and cold. Her figure flickered, and she followed behind Fu Yunxuan.

To one side.

Yue Xuanji's beautiful eyes flickered as she watched quietly.

This fellow, he was a slacker in private, giving her a mischievous feeling. These past few days in the cabin had been hard on her; her mouth was still a bit swollen now. Aside from that final step, they had pretty much done everything else.

However, when he got serious about things, he was decisive and full of charm, completely like two different people. That Aura was even more captivating.

...

Half an hour later.

On the official road, hundreds of Demon Suppression Guard galloped, heading straight for Yue Province City. The sound of hooves echoed for several miles outside the city, and they charged directly into Yue Province City.

After entering the city, Chu Jiang raised his hand, and the Fire Kirin beneath him halted. The hundreds of Demon Suppression Guard behind him stopped in unison, perfectly aligned.

Boom!

Having scouted in advance, the hundreds of Demon Suppression Guard split into three teams, directly drawing their Demon Suppression Blades, and rushed towards the three major Miao Jiang offices in the provincial city.

"Damn, which important figure is this?"

Some Jianghu martial artists looked at this formidable group of Demon Suppression Guard and were immediately terrified.

"Looking at their attire, they don't seem like the local Demon Suppression Guard, do they?"

"Why aren't the city gate guards stopping them?"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the guards at the city gate were scared stiff when they saw the token? How would they dare to stop their men? These are Demon Suppression Guard from the Imperial Capital…"

Some Jianghu Elders, being well-traveled, recognized this contingent.

"Damn it, any one of them here is stronger than our Sect Master. This is too terrifying!"

A middle-aged man said with a solemn expression, wondering when Great Chu had such a super army, using Divine Power Realm experts as soldiers.

Yue Province Demon Suppression Division.

"Pacification Envoy Lord, according to reports from the city guards, Lord Shao Si has arrived!"

Jin Feng's face showed joy as she reported the situation to Cao Zhengchun. She had always held great admiration for this rumored Lord Shao Si.

The places he had visited were basically filled with slaughter. In the Three Prefectures of the East, dozens of aristocratic families had been exterminated, and over ten thousand officials had been beheaded.

He was a living War God, inspiring both awe and fear.

His arrival in Yue Province was a good opportunity to report the Miao Jiang matters to him.

Perhaps the situation could still take a turn.

"Hmm?"

Cao Zhengchun didn't believe that Chu Jiang had come to Yue Province for vacation. He was likely here for the Bing Shen Plan, probably entrusted by the Imperial Capital.

With him here, Miao Jiang would probably restrain themselves a bit.

After all.

If they angered this great figure.

Miao Jiang would be severely damaged, even if they didn't perish.

"Never mind, now take a few men and immediately come with me to welcome Lord Shao Si!" Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice. Chu Jiang was not only the future Division Master, but his current peerless combat power, ranking second on the Heavenly Ranking, was something no ordinary person could ignore.

"Yes!"

The two disappeared from the Demon Suppression Division.

...

Taiping Inn, third-floor private room.

Yun Lin and Song He were still drinking and eating meat, having a great time, somewhat hazy.

"Bang!"

The main door of Taiping Inn was kicked open, and rows of Demon Suppression Guard rushed in.

"You're courting death! Do you know this is an official inn opened by Miao Jiang?!" Several inn guards roared in fury, drawing the long blades in their hands.

For so many years, no one had dared to draw a blade against their Miao Jiang in Yue Province City.

Pfft!

Several Demon Suppression Guard simultaneously drew their blades, and in a flash of light and blood, they instantly killed the inn guards.

Chu Jiang, with the Tai Zu Golden Saber in hand, his face cold, stepped into Taiping Inn. The ground, windows, and dining tables were covered in gruesome bones and blood, with severed heads rolling around.

A blood-soaked person burst into the third floor of the back courtyard, "Elder, this is bad! Demon Suppression Guard have come to smash the place! All the guards have been killed! Please, Elder, make a move…"

Before he could finish, a golden blade pierced through the blood-soaked man's heart. The next second, his body was torn in half, blood splattering and staining the entire private room red.

Chu Jiang stepped out from behind him, the Tai Zu Golden Saber in his hand, fresh red blood dripping onto the ground…
