71: The shock of the thousands of households

Chu Jiang suddenly walked toward Han Dang, delivering a fierce slap that knocked out several of his teeth, leaving his mouth covered in blood.

"County Governor, this official is not an unreasonable person. Here in the Flying Dragon Army camp, I can certainly report to the Yunzhou Supervisory Office to seek justice for you."

Chu Jiang shook his hand with a grin, then crushed his palm with a single squeeze.

"Ah... my hand!"

Han Dang let out a shrill scream, discovering that his palm was now a bloody mess.

He was so terrified that he immediately passed out.

General Zhang shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Han Dang, oh Han Dang, wouldn't it have been enough to just keep your mouth shut? You just had to run your mouth for pleasure."

"What good is it to feel comfortable with your words? Your body is the one suffering the consequences."

Afterward, Chu Jiang set his sights on the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle circling in the sky, his eyes burning with desire.

How could he miss out on such a top-tier mount?

He immediately soared into the sky, landing a foot squarely on the back of the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle.

"Caw!"

The Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle let out a screech. Highly displeased by the sudden appearance of Chu Jiang on its back, it immediately performed a death spin.

Chu Jiang gripped the Great Golden Condor's feathers tightly and gave it a round of "loving iron fists," massaging its muscles and bones.

Slap! Bam!

"Little cutie, I'll show you what happens if you move!"

He knew how to pull his punches; he made the Great Golden Condor feel uncomfortable without causing it serious injury.

Soon, the battered Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle signaled its submission.

Of course, this was under the duress of Chu Jiang's tyranny.

Chu Jiang didn't care about that; a forced melon is not only sweet but also quenches thirst.

The crowd was once again stunned by Chu Jiang's brutality. He was a living, breathing human monster.

"It's time to go back!" After landing, Chu Jiang said, "Xi Fuliu, you stay in the Flying Dragon Army camp and assist General Zhang in guarding the Cao Gang's assets. Fu Yunxuan, let's go!"

"Subordinate obeys!" Xi Fuliu replied.

General Zhang naturally understood that this was a nail Chu Jiang had planted in the Flying Dragon Army camp to prevent them from secretly pocketing the assets.

Although he wouldn't do such a thing, Chu Jiang's actions demonstrated his meticulous nature.

If anyone dared to deceive him, the outcome would surely be tragic. This was a god of slaughter who didn't even hold the Prince Zhennan's heir in high regard.

Just as Chu Jiang was preparing to ride his mount and leave Canglan County, four figures appeared in the sky, moving like lightning and tearing through the firmament.

These were the Commanders who had rushed over from the far west of Yunzhou.

Commander Zuo looked at Chu Jiang and Fu Yunxuan and, seeing they were unharmed, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These were peerless Geniuses the likes of which Yunzhou hadn't seen in centuries.

"Sun Commander, you must immediately escort them back to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division. The rest of the Commanders, follow me to destroy the altar and stop the Brahma True Demon from descending!" Commander Zuo said immediately.

It seemed they had arrived in time; the Brahma True Demon had not yet descended. Otherwise, this place would have already been reduced to ruins with countless casualties.

"Commander Zuo, the altar has already been destroyed by my Lord. You don't need to trouble yourselves..." Fu Yunxuan stepped forward, stunned, and cupped her hands.

"Niece Yunxuan, what time do you think it is? Stop joking with us. The altar for the Brahma True Demon's descent must be guarded by a Sha-level Great Demon. How could you possibly stop it!"

"This Brahma True Demon is a peerless Great Demon capable of devouring the entire Yunzhou. Listen to your Uncle Zuo and hurry back to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division with Sun Commander!" one of the Commanders said.

The Sect that Fu Yunxuan belonged to had a very good relationship with the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division. Her parents were close friends with several Commanders of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

That was why everyone loved her by extension. To prevent any accidents, Shen Commander had taken her into the Demon Suppression Division to cultivate.

"Commander Zuo, Commanders, please follow me!" Chu Jiang said indifferently, then stepped onto the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle.

The Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle let out a resentful screech. This bane of its existence had just beaten it until it was covered in wounds, and now it had to carry him as he flew. How unreasonable!

"Brother Eagle, give me some Face!" Chu Jiang patted the Great Golden Condor's head. "I'll get you some supplements later!"

The Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle's eyes lit up, and it let out a happy cry. "At least you have a conscience." Immediately, it soared into the sky.

Chu Jiang knew only facts would convince these Commanders; otherwise, they would just be anxious for nothing. The Commanders, confused, followed along.

The simultaneous appearance of four Commanders from the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division indicated that a world-shaking event had definitely occurred here, and some great Demon had surely emerged. This further proved that what Chu Jiang had said was true.

He had truly stopped a formidable Demon from descending, indirectly saving Canglan County and even the entire Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures. The minds of everyone present were suddenly filled with a thousand thoughts.

General Zhang looked at the retreating figures of Chu Jiang and the others, somewhat dazed. In these Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, another figure like Lord Zhenfu was about to emerge.

Two hundred years ago, before Lord Zhenfu took office, the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures were ravaged by Demons. Great Demons gathered everywhere, and the common people lived in constant fear. The living environment was several times more severe than it was now.

At that time, Demons lived in human villages, towns, and cities. That period could be called the darkest history for the people of Yunzhou. Two previous Pacification Envoys had died in battle one after another.

After Lord Zhenfu took office, the situation reversed within a few short years. Great Demons fled into the deep mountains, and the frequency of Demon disturbances greatly decreased.

…At Canglong River, several Commanders stared at the broken altar with wide eyes.

"You did this?" "There was no Sha-level Great Demon guarding this place?" Sun Commander was stunned. They had rushed all the way here, even burning their blood essence, only to arrive and find the altar destroyed.

"There was a Sha-level Great Demon, just recently ascended. Its strength was average, so I killed it," Chu Jiang replied.

The corners of the Commanders' mouths twitched. "What a kid." Are you really going to humblebrag like that?

A Sha-level Great Demon, even a newly ascended one, could at best be matched by a Grandmaster of the same level. To kill one was unimaginably difficult.

Commander Zuo looked at Chu Jiang: "Did the Brahma True Demon descend?" As long as the summoning process reached the final step, even if the altar was destroyed, it could still transport a Clone or a remnant soul into this world.

"It descended..." "What? Where is it? Where did it go!" The Commanders were instantly agitated; they had arrived a step too late. This was a disaster.

"Hey, Commanders, can you let me finish speaking!" "It did descend, but it was just a remnant soul, and I have already killed it!" Chu Jiang looked at the Commanders and said with a beaming smile.

"You really know how to startle us!" "You scared us old guys to death!" "You kid, you've performed a monumental service this time. When we return, Lord Zhenfu will surely reward you heavily."

The Commanders felt a sense of relief, and their tone became more relaxed. However, what surprised them even more was that this guy had actually killed a remnant soul of the Brahma True Demon; this strength was simply too terrifying.

One had to know that Chu Jiang hadn't even reached the Grandmaster realm yet, and he was already this Heaven-Defying. Once he achieved a Breakthrough, he would definitely be among the strongest of the Grandmasters.

"We're old, we're old. Now it's the world of the young!" one of the Commanders sighed.

"You Commanders are in your prime, the best time to show your skills. How can you say you are old?" Chu Jiang chuckled softly.

The Commanders laughed heartily. They loved hearing that, and the way they looked at Chu Jiang became a bit more approving.

At the old site of the Cao Gang, Chu Jiang and the Commanders returned.

"Greetings, Commanders!" everyone bowed in succession.

Commanders of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division were truly big shots, rarely seen. Each one of them was in the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm, and the strong kind at that level.

Having fought against Demons year-round, their combat power was naturally incomparable to ordinary Grandmasters.

The Commanders nodded in acknowledgment. The water monster incident had concluded, so Chu Jiang naturally had to return to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

He looked at Fu Yunxuan: "Are you going back to the Demon Suppression Division with the Commanders, or are you coming with me?"

"I am willing to follow you, my Lord!" A trace of an imperceptible smile appeared on Fu Yunxuan's Face.

"Then let's go!" Afterward, the two boarded the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle and flew into the sky.

At this moment, Chu Jiang's voice came from the sky: "Oh, right!" "Commander Zuo, there are still two Horned Wind-Racing Colts here from the Demon Suppression Division. I'll have to trouble you to take them back; we'll be heading off first."

Commander Zuo's Face instantly darkened, and he said testily, "You brat, leaving the dirty work to us while you just go off so carefree!"

He looked at the two Horned Wind-Racing Colts tied not far away, his Face full of helplessness. "Forget it, forget it." Since Chu Jiang was the peerless Genius of their Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, he had no choice but to comply.

"I have no objections to doing chores for Chu Jiang, this Grade-A Genius," Sun Commander chuckled.

"Other prefectures don't even have this opportunity. My dear Commander Zuo, you should be secretly happy!"

Commander Zuo didn't speak, but Sun Commander's words were indeed reasonable. This guy hadn't thought much of Chu Jiang before. But the moment Chu Jiang became a Grade-A Genius, his attitude changed completely, and he was terrified that Chu Jiang might get hurt.

"Return to the Demon Suppression Division!"
