74: He must pay with his life

Demon Palace.

The seat of honor was empty, but below it sat several peerless Nether-level Great Demons and dozens of Sha-level Great Demons.

"My Lords, the Demon Lords, it has been confirmed. The person who destroyed our clan's altar is called Chu Jiang, a newly joined Demon Suppression Guard in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, holding the rank of Banner Chief!"

The Demon Rat Great Demon said.

"Are you sure about this intelligence? A mere Banner Chief, at most in the Vajra Realm, how could he destroy our clan's altar and prevent the arrival of Brahma True Demon?"

The main altar at the Canglong River was a premium location they had carefully selected.

There was also a Sha-level Great Demon there; although he had just advanced, his talent was regeneration, making it difficult even for a Grandmaster in the Middle Stage to kill him.

"This intelligence was provided by a Demon Suppression Guard who has defected to our Demon Clan. His status in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division is not low, so the intelligence cannot be false."

"This Chu Jiang is a Grade-A Genius of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, and his strength should not be underestimated. He was able to kill a Sha-level Great Demon before even reaching the Grandmaster level. He is a major threat to our clan, and I hope the Demon Lords will decide to eliminate him as soon as possible."

The words of the Demon Rat Great Demon made the gathered demons look at each other, a chill flashing through their eyes simultaneously. They naturally knew what a Grade-A Genius signified.

In a few decades, he would absolutely be a nightmare for the demons in the Yunzhou region.

Commander Zuo is strong enough, capable of fighting several Sha-level Great Demons alone.

Yet he is only a Grade-B Genius.

A Grade-A Genius is a rare treasure across the entire Great Chu.

"Continue."

The White Ape Demon Lord spoke.

The Demon Rat Great Demon continued: "This person was born in White Stone County, Annan Prefecture. At first, he was just a small constable in the county's Demon Hunting Division; he wasn't even a Demon Suppression Guard."

"It is said that he even cooperated with local demons; at the very beginning, he was one of our people."

"Later, for reasons unknown, he suddenly rebelled, killed the local demons, and then rose rapidly!"

"These are the specific details. Please, my Lords, the Demon Lords, take a look."

The Demon Rat Great Demon held out a stack of papers and delivered them to the front.

"Demon Rat, wait, what did you say his name was..." Heavenly Evil Great Demon opened his eyes wide in anger.

"He is called Chu Jiang. What's wrong? Do you have a grudge against him?" the Demon Rat said.

Heavenly Evil Great Demon's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he gritted his teeth: "It's more than just a grudge. He killed my only offspring! If it weren't for the sake of our clan's grand plan, I would have skinned him alive long ago!"

Nine-tailed Demon Lord said: "Since this Chu Jiang once cooperated with our clan, why not find someone to contact him and let him return to our clan's embrace?"

The gathered Great Demons did not think this meant she wanted to recruit Chu Jiang into the Demon Clan. Among the Demon Lords, Nine-tailed Demon Lord was the most ruthless; her stunning beauty was merely a facade.

Sure enough, Nine-tailed Demon Lord's next sentence confirmed their thoughts.

"Once he joins our clan, he can serve as a blood slave for our clan. When Brahma True Demon descends again, we will craft him into a top-grade Demon Body, which will surely be able to withstand the greatest power."

For a Genius like Chu Jiang, killing him outright would be too wasteful. One must slowly drain his remaining value; becoming a vessel for the True Demon's arrival is the best destination.

White Ape Demon Lord: "Then this matter will be handled by you. The data shows that he used to be a lecherous person. With your methods of bewitching the masses, it shouldn't be difficult to take him down."

Nine-tailed Demon Lord nodded. She was full of confidence in her charm. With her innate bewitching physique, every move was filled with allure, and she did not believe Chu Jiang could resist.

Furthermore, she also had the ability to create illusions, enough to make him sink into depravity.

At this moment.

Heavenly Evil Great Demon stood up and said: "I am willing to assist Nine-tailed Demon Lord in taking down Chu Jiang!"

Banshan Great Demon also stood up immediately and said: "I am also willing to go!"

He and Heavenly Evil Great Demon were brothers who had been through life and death together, so naturally, they had to go together.

"Good. Come to me later, and I will guide you to improve your strength."

Heavenly Evil and Banshan, the two demons, looked happy. They naturally understood what Nine-tailed Demon Lord's guidance meant. With Nine-tailed Demon Lord's innate bewitching physique, the benefits of cultivating with her went without saying.

"Thank you, Demon Lord!"

Most of the demons present had a close relationship with Nine-tailed Demon Lord. With just one word from her, the demons present wouldn't even blink if asked to climb a mountain of blades or dive into a sea of fire.

"Do not be in a hurry to act. I heard that the people from the Earth Fiend Hall also have a grudge against him. You can let them test the waters for you first."

"The Wicked Dragon Demon Lord and the Ice Wind Demon Master have traveled far to search for the lost Demon Ancient Road. While they have not returned, try to keep a low profile."

White Ape Demon Lord gave his advice in a deep voice.

The Wicked Dragon Demon Lord is the strongest peerless Great Demon in Yunzhou and the head of all demons in Yunzhou. The Ice Wind Demon Master is the Chief Priest of the Yunzhou demons.

The two are the pillars of the Yunzhou demons.

The arrival of Brahma True Demon failed, and there is no such window in the short term.

We can only look for other ways.

Nine-tailed Demon Lord indicated she understood. The Earth Fiend Hall and the Demon Clan are in a cooperative relationship; they use each other to get what they need.

However, she was very disgusted by the Earth Fiend Hall using demon bodies for research.

It's just that now in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, Ye Lingkong's strength is too astonishing.

They are forced to cooperate with them.

As long as it is not too excessive, they turn a blind eye.

...

In the following days.

The name of Chu Jiang was thunderous in the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, and his deeds were widely spread, attracting great attention from all major forces.

He slaughtered the Cao Gang, the largest Gang in Canglan County, and their decades of accumulated wealth were looted. The bloody scene made people tremble with fear.

Even worse, he beheaded the heir of the Zhennan Royal Family.

Who is Prince Zhennan?

One of the seven non-royal kings of the Great Chu.

There are five or six Grandmasters in his mansion, and Prince Zhennan himself is a Great Grandmaster. Although he does not have many years of Lifespan left and his blood and Qi have decayed.

But regardless, this is still a Great Grandmaster.

They could not imagine how Chu Jiang dared to kill his son.

Si Province, where the Zhennan Royal Family is located, is adjacent to Yunzhou and is not too far away.

But then again.

Since Chu Jiang even dared to kill Prince Zhennan's son, what else would he not dare to do?

"You must make friends with him. Before he is liquidated, do not provoke him."

"I heard that this person loved young married women before joining the Demon Suppression Division. We can cater to his preferences and send him a few beauties, as long as he doesn't come to our place to cause trouble."

Compared to cultivation resources and money, sending beauties is undoubtedly the lowest-cost path.

Various orders were sent out from major forces.

Some wanted to make friends, some were wary, some avoided him, and some held him in contempt...

Si Province.

A mansion with extremely luxurious decoration, occupying hundreds of acres of land.

The gate was towering and magnificent, with bright red paint and shining copper nails.

Entering the courtyard, pavilions and towers were scattered in an orderly manner, with rockeries everywhere and streams gurgling. In the garden, exotic flowers and plants competed for beauty, and strange fragrances overflowed.

On the throne sat an old man with an imposing air of nobility, though his body looked a bit frail.

It was none other than Prince Zhennan, Yang Xiongba.

Around him stood a dozen people, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.

Four sons, one daughter.

There was also a beautiful woman; her actual age was over forty, but because of excellent maintenance, she looked only in her twenties. She was Prince Zhennan's concubine: Fei Ruji.

"Husband, you must seek justice for Hao'er. He was only in his twenties, yet he was brutally killed. You must make him pay with his life!" Fei Ruji said with resentment.
