498: The bloodbath in Leizhou, everyone was terrified when they heard the name of Chujiang

Lei Prefecture Demon Suppression Division.

At this moment, blood flowed everywhere, and hundreds of corpses lay scattered, in addition to two thousand Lei Prefecture Demon Suppression Guards with expressions of shock and coldness.

Chu Jiang led his people and stepped into the main gate of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

The suppressed Pacification Envoy of Lei Prefecture looked at the newcomers, his expression grim.

"Lei Prefecture Pacification Envoy, Liu Ming, greets Lord Chu. I wonder what crime this this official has committed, and why I am being arrested?" Liu Ming said coldly.

"As a Demon Suppression Guard, you betrayed your position, not suppressing Demons but instead persecuting the common people. Do you still have the face to ask 'why'?"

"The money the common people spend is used to support scum like you!"

Bang!

Chu Jiang kicked Liu Ming, and the crisp sound of bones cracking instantly echoed.

"This this official doesn't know what Lord Chu means. I have never instructed anyone to persecute the common people. You can't blame the Pacification Envoy just because a few Demon Suppression Guards below went rogue, can you?"

Liu Ming gasped for air, still unyielding. Naturally, he couldn't admit it.

"Just a few?"

Chu Jiang sneered. All along the way, the Lei Prefecture Demon Suppression Division was almost rotten to the core; it wasn't just a few, but hundreds, even thousands, of corrupt individuals.

Among the Demon Suppression Guards he encountered, eight out of ten were oppressing the common people and wantonly arresting them.

How could Liu Ming not know?

"Don't worry, as a high-ranking this official, I will let you keep a complete corpse!"

"Drag him away, dismember him with a thousand cuts, then quarter him with nine horses!"

Chu Jiang stomped forcefully, directly crushing one of Liu Ming's arms.

"No... Chu Jiang, this is Lei Prefecture, and all military and political affairs are independent. Arresting me is already overstepping your authority. You have no right to torture me, let alone kill me!"

Liu Ming roared, but no one paid attention. He was dragged out for execution by several Demon Suppression Guards, and screams and wails instantly followed.

After dealing with Liu Ming, Chu Jiang directly entered Lei Prefecture's Demon Suppression Prison.

He purged all the Demons inside.

There were only fifty True Demons and merely three Heaven-Level Demons.

"This Lei Prefecture is truly rotten!"

Chu Jiang frowned. The Demons suppressed in the Demon Suppression Prison were far fewer than even Yue Province. Even with the severe depletion of Demons in Yue Province's prison, there were still two hundred True Demons and over a dozen Heaven-Grade ones.

Slaying Demons and eradicating evil was no longer their main occupation.

It only contributed ninety thousand Lifespan to him.

That was less than the scattered Demons he had killed on the road.

[demon life essence: 2.7 million years]

Half an hour later.

At the Lei Prefecture Tusi Yamen, Chu Jiang sat in the main seat, looking indifferently at the Lei Prefecture this officials kneeling before him.

The Demon Suppression Division Battalion Commander of Lei Prefecture, the main military generals, senior Tusi this officials, and others all trembled as they looked at Chu Jiang, their expressions terrified, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"Various areas in Lei Prefecture already have a large number of disaster victims. This this official will allocate money and grain to you for disaster relief and pacification!"

"If this this official discovers anyone daring to embezzle, play tricks, or continue to cause trouble, their entire Family will be executed, and their three clans exterminated!"

Chu Jiang's icy voice echoed among the twenty to thirty people kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Chu, rest assured, we will quell public grievances as quickly as possible!"

A group of this officials broke out in cold sweat, trembling all over, and quickly agreed.

After these people dispersed.

Fu Yunxuan entered the main hall with a few Demon Suppression Guards and said, "My Lord, the large Families in Leizhou City involved in the rebellion have all been purged."

"A total of 100 million catties of grain, 100,000 catties of spirit rice were confiscated, with more than half of it being tainted, problematic rice."

"130,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, 1.2 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, 90 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, as well as various Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and Magic Treasures. This is the inventory list!"

As she spoke.

She handed over a roster.

Chu Jiang simply flipped through it and put it away.

This Lei Prefecture was far inferior to Yue Province. Yue Province alone, in one city, had unearthed 1.3 billion catties of grain, and its transcendent powerhouses were two to three times that of Lei Prefecture.

The main combat power of the Miao territory was concentrated in the Three Mountains Nine Caves, as for the Tusi Yamen and the local Demon Suppression Division, they were merely their front organizations.

However, with these 100,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, his two thousand Puppets from the mechanism command would not lack Spirit Stone supply in the short term.

"In addition, this humble subordinate has also verified that the Leize Chamber of Commerce, the Blood Kill Sect, the Heavenly Rain Sect, and the Black Cloud Stockade secretly captured common people, extracted their souls, refined their essence blood, and transported it to the Lei Prefecture Tusi in exchange for benefits."

"Kill them, leave no one alive!"

Chu Jiang rose, his eyes exceptionally cold.

In times of chaos, a policy of appeasement would only make people take advantage; only by killing until everyone trembles in fear, and no one dares to offend, is it possible to rebuild a prosperous era.

"Leave one hundred Demon Suppression Guards to monitor Lei Prefecture, the rest of you depart immediately!"

"Yes!"

A moment later.

Chu Jiang led a large contingent of Demon Suppression Guards and left Leizhou City.

In a dark and damp mountain, a red plaque hung, with three large characters written on it: "Blood Kill Sect." The Blood Kill Sect was one of the major forces in Lei Prefecture, and its Sect Leader was a Qiankun Nine cultivator.

At this moment, inside the main hall, several Elders sat cross-legged, and the Blood Kill Sect Leader was receiving several outstanding Disciples.

"You all have done well. These are Blood Essence Pills rewarded to you. Keep up the good work."

"Blood One, as the chief Disciple of our sect, you have captured the most Central Plains people. This is a Blood Heaven Pill, which can help you break through to the Faxiang Realm!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Blood One said joyfully. Capturing low-grade commoners yielded too little effect, barely refining a few drops of divine blood.

On the other hand, those Central Plains people doing business in the Miao territory were not weak in strength.

Anyway, his Miao territory would sooner or later fall out with Great Chu, so now was a good time to collect some interest and kill a wave of them first.

"Sect Leader, with Chu Jiang, that harbinger of evil, in Lei Prefecture now, shouldn't we temporarily avoid his sharp edge and wait for the storm to subside before fighting again?"

An Elder said in a deep voice.

"No need to worry. The Yun Family, the head of the four major tribes of Lei Prefecture, has already received instructions from the Elder Council and obtained the Sacred Mountain's heavy weapon. Chu Jiang is bound to die."

"By now, he's probably already a corpse. How could he have time to trouble us? Is he going to cry out for injustice in the underworld?"

The Blood Kill Sect Leader laughed, a hint of mockery on his face.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, hundreds of loud bangs shook the entire mountain gate. Everyone was startled.

The mountain-protecting array directly shattered.

"What is this?"

"No good... it's cannons!"

"How can there be cannons? Where did they come from!"

The Blood Kill Sect Elders' expressions changed drastically. Before they could react, the second wave of cannonballs, densely packed, had already arrived, covering the sky.

"Run!"

The Blood Kill Sect Leader shouted in alarm. The few of them reacted extremely quickly, instantly leaving the range of the main hall.

Bang!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, like meteors piercing the long sky. The ground cracked, the main hall was blasted with a large hole, and it collapsed with a crash. The few Disciples who ran slowly were instantly turned into minced meat. The entire Blood Kill Sect was filled with dismembered limbs and scattered corpses.

"The Void Realm is sealed, unable to fly!"

"What kind of artillery is this? Its power is so astonishing."

The Blood Kill Sect Leader crawled out of the ruins, covered in dust and grime.

"No good, Sect Leader, look what that is..."

Only to see.

Hundreds of Puppets were bombarding the mountain gate of the Blood Kill Sect.

And a large number of Puppets were rapidly rushing towards the mountain gate.

"Damn it, judging by the energy fluctuations, they are all Golden Core-grade Puppets and above, a full thousand of them, and dozens of Qiankun Puppets..."

Everyone's eyes were dull, and they immediately fled. Was this the imperial court leading a large army to fully enter Lei Prefecture?

But the next moment.

A thousand Puppets quickly ascended the mountain, sweeping through the Blood Kill Sect. All Blood Kill Sect members were annihilated, leaving no one alive.

Puffs of thick smoke rose, and the Blood Kill Sect was reduced to ruins. A thousand Disciples were all killed, and all resources were swept clean.

Subsequently, the Black Cloud Stockade and the Heavenly Rain Sect were successively destroyed.

They were cleared out at an astonishing speed, with no dialogue or possibility of negotiation.

All forces targeted by Chu Jiang were thoroughly purged.

The name of Chu Jiang made the major forces of Lei Prefecture change color upon hearing it.

Outside a secluded mountain valley, a large group of Demon Suppression Guards had gathered. The air here was dry, with almost no humidity.

"Lord Chu, this is one of the five places where War Gods are manufactured!" The Yun Family Head said in a deep voice, pointing to the valley ahead.
