496: All the guests bowed their heads

Night fell.

Thirty li north of Leizhou City, the Demon Subjugation Camp.

At this moment, the camp was in an uproar. A group of Demon Suppression Guards were gathered, drinking and eating meat, while a large number of civilians were held in iron cages.

From some of the tents, sounds of whipping and screaming could be heard.

Two Demon Suppression Guards held a richly dressed man down, preventing him from moving, his eyes almost bursting open.

Outside, more than a dozen pillars stood, with a dozen young women tied to them, their faces deathly pale, covered in bloodstains.

This place felt less like a Demon Subjugation Camp and more like a demonic lair.

“Ah… you beasts, are you even worthy of being Demon Suppression Guards?” the richly dressed man cursed angrily, looking at the General Flag Officer Song Tao before him.

“General Flag Officer Song, he’s cursing you!”

The two Demon Suppression Guards grinned maliciously, gripping the richly dressed man’s arms tightly.

“I’m not worthy, are you?”

Song Tao sneered, grabbing his hair and slapping him hard.

“Open your eyes and look, look at how your little wife is being… hahaha…”

“You two, hold him. Get in line behind me. Once this this official is done, you can have your turn!”

Song Tao said with a wicked smile.

With that.

He eagerly rushed towards the trembling young woman beside him.

“Don’t come closer!”

“Beast, you damn Song Tao, I’ll kill you—”

The richly dressed man was furious but couldn’t struggle even an inch.

Suddenly.

A cold light flashed.

Whoosh!

Pfft!

Something on Song Tao’s body was directly severed by a flying knife, gushing blood instantly.

“Ah…”

“No… damn it!”

Song Tao screamed tragically, quickly covering his lower body, only to find that the thing was completely gone. He felt despair.

He had become a eunuch; he couldn’t accept it.

“You bastard, I don’t care who you are, trespassing into the Demon Subjugation Camp, I…”

The next moment.

Four more flying knives directly severed Song Tao’s four limbs, leaving him bloody and then, powerless, he fell to the ground.

This sudden scene astonished everyone in the tent.

Only to see.

A Thousand Households wearing a kirin uniform, holding a Demon Suppression Blade, stepped into the tent.

It was Zhao Hu.

Following him were several Demon Suppression Guards.

“How dare you call yourself a Demon Suppression Guard? You insult the very words ‘Demon Suppression’!”

Zhao Hu said coldly, stomping his foot violently, crippling his cultivation.

He also gouged out his eyes and cut off his tongue, leaving him to fend for himself.

“Mmm…”

Song Tao let out a silent sob, his eyes plunged into endless darkness, his mouth unable to make a sound. One could only see the veins bulging in his throat, indicating his extreme anger.

The two Demon Suppression Guards holding the richly dressed man showed fear on their faces.

“Mercy…”

The next moment.

Two flashes of knife light, and their heads rolled.

“Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving us!”

The richly dressed man thanked him respectfully.

Swish swish swish!

In the dark night, hundreds of figures suddenly stormed into the Demon Subjugation Camp.

“Kill!”

The entire Demon Subjugation Camp was instantly awash in blood.

“How audacious!”

Song Lang, the Thousand Households of the Demon Subjugation Camp, quickly flew out from the main camp. Seeing this scene, he was enraged. Before he could speak, he was surrounded and killed, his head severed.

He lived for three seconds.

…

For a time.

Throughout the Demon Subjugation Camp, screams were incessant.

Only.

It was a different group of people.

At the Yun Family residence, lights were brightly lit, and people were still eating and drinking in the main hall. The heads of the four major tribes, as well as the Lei Prefecture Xuanwei Envoy, were all present.

Only to see.

A Demon Suppression Guard entered the banquet and went straight to Lei Wanming, saying:

“Xuanwei Envoy, the Demon Subjugation Camp north of the city just lost contact!”

The Yun Family Head frowned. In all of Lei Prefecture, the only one who dared to move against the Demon Suppression Guard was Chu Jiang’s forces. Had he arrived so quickly?

“Don’t make a fuss. Chu Jiang won’t attack so quickly. According to reliable intelligence, he is still in Leize County, attacking Shican Tong.”

“Exactly. Even if he comes, what can he do?”

The other tribal leaders sneered.

Shican Tong was one of the Nine Dongs of Miao Frontier, with unfathomable foundations.

It would take Chu Jiang at least three days to conquer it.

Just then, a faint chill swept through the entire Yun Family residence. Lei Wanming, with the highest cultivation, immediately sensed something was wrong, his expression changing.

Only to see.

On the eaves of the Yun Family residence, rows of Demon Suppression Guards stood, wearing bamboo hats, hands on their Demon Suppression Blades, their cold eyes revealed.

Directly opposite the banquet hall, a young man in a black python robe stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind. To his left and right were exquisite beauties, and behind him stood a dozen figures, each in a different stance.

They were Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the ten personal guards, all surrounding Chu Jiang in the center.

“How is this possible? How could they have infiltrated Leizhou City so silently, without a single sound!”

Lei Wanming’s eyes were filled with horror; he only detected them when they were already close to the Yun Family residence.

Buzz!

The Void Realm trembled violently, and an invisible aura enveloped the entire scene.

“What’s going on? This old man can’t move!”

The Gu Family Head’s face was grim. He found himself as if suppressed by heaven and earth, unable to move a single step.

The four major tribes, including the Yun Family Head, were all the same, feeling their bodies sinking into an endless quagmire of gravity.

This guy.

What terrifying strength! He truly lived up to his reputation as the one who could force the Eternal Mother to retreat.

With a flick of his finger, he could put immense pressure on these Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses who were usually so high and mighty.

Was this Chu Jiang really only in the Heaven and Earth Realm?

Lei Wanming’s face was pale. He found that he, too, was like them, completely unable to break free from the shackles of this heavenly gravity.

“Gentlemen, this this official has been ordered to inspect the Three Prefectures and eliminate rebels. Yet, you have not provided this this official with a single soldier, instead choosing to drink and make merry here. This this official is very disappointed…”

Chu Jiang’s expression was indifferent. With a stomp of his foot, ripples spread through the Void Realm, sweeping across the entire Yun Family residence, and he instantly appeared in the main hall.

Like instantaneous movement, he arrived at the very center position under everyone’s astonished gaze.

Only to see.

Smack!

Snow Phoenix slapped the Yun Family Head, sending him flying more than ten meters.

Bang!

Fu Yunxuan kicked apart the existing chair, then took out a luxurious Dragon throne from her Storage Pouch and placed it in its original spot.

Chu Jiang sat on the Dragon throne, his expression still cold.

Hmph!

What the hell!

The various tribal leaders and Leizhou City aristocratic family heads at the banquet below were dumbfounded by Chu Jiang’s brazen actions.

It was one thing for Chu Jiang to seize the host’s seat, but he also shattered their chair and then produced his own new, luxurious throne.

Everyone said this Chu Jiang was arrogant, but this wasn’t just arrogant; this was boundless arrogance.

The Yun Family Head, who had just been slapped away by Snow Phoenix, clutched his face, feeling utterly humiliated. To be slapped in public, it was unbearable.

But.

Did he dare to utter a single word of defiance?

He did not dare.

He could curse him behind his back, but face to face, he would definitely be timid.

“Speak!”

An extremely cold voice reached everyone’s ears.

An even greater pressure from heaven and earth descended.

Bang!

All hundred-plus people at the banquet couldn’t help but want to kneel before Chu Jiang.

“Damn it, hold it back!”

“Ah…”

Lei Wanming and the others roared internally, but it was no use.

No one could last for three breaths.

One man suppressed all the guests, forcing them to their knees before Chu Jiang, unable to lift their heads.
