82: Go hand in hand

The two were puzzled.

Under Commander Chu...

Although the two were weak in strength, the woman before them possessed a powerful Aura and astonishing strength.

Her strength was not much weaker than it had been before Lord Chu left.

Such a powerhouse.

Was actually a subordinate of Lord Chu.

"Has Lord Chu already reached this level less than a month after heading to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division?" A flash of shock crossed Ma Han's eyes; he had already overestimated Chu Jiang's talent.

The Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, as the hub of the prefecture.

It must be teeming with experts, and there was no shortage of martial arts Grandmasters.

At the very least, it would take several years to make a name for oneself.

They dared not imagine what level Lord Chu had reached now.

Fu Yunxuan looked at the three men in black before her with cold eyes and asked sternly, "Speak! Who sent you?"

The scarred man sneered and replied fearlessly, "We take people's money and eliminate their troubles. We have professional ethics and will never betray our employer. Besides, I don't know who the employer is, so stop with your wishful thinking!"

"You certainly have a backbone!"

Fu Yunxuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a look of disdain as she said, "Do you think the Demon Suppression Guards wouldn't know if you didn't say it? Aren't you from the Qingfeng Stronghold?" Her gaze swept across the three, a flash of cunning in her eyes.

Asking him was merely to verify the intelligence.

"You... no... I'm not from the Qingfeng Stronghold, I'm from the Wuji School next door. My Wuji School dares to act and dares to take responsibility. If you have the ability, come and fight!" The masked man with the scar panted heavily, his eyes fixed on Fu Yunxuan.

"Whether it's the Qingfeng Stronghold or the Wuji School is not for you to decide; it is up to my Lord to decide."

"Whoever he says it is, it is!"

Fu Yunxuan stared at the three, her eyes turning cold.

"Lord, I'll speak... I'll tell you everything...!" The masked man with the scar had a gloomy look in his eyes; while speaking, he quietly pulled out a hidden weapon from behind his back, and *xiu xiu xiu*, it erupted instantly.

Silver needles pierced through the air.

"You bitch, others might fear you Demon Suppression Guards, but I don't! I'm going to kill you!"

These hidden weapons were specifically designed to break through Vajra Realm True Qi.

They were given by the employer, and he didn't believe this bitch could block them.

Just then.

With a clang.

Fu Yunxuan's Demon Suppression Blade instantly left its sheath at her waist. With a flash of blade light and shadows, all the silver needles, like shooting stars chasing the moon, pierced toward the three men in the opposite direction.

Chi, chi, chi!

The three were instantly turned into hedgehogs by the hidden weapons they had launched themselves and died on the spot.

"Thank you, Lord Fu, for the rescue!" Liu Guangwu and the others cupped their fists and said.

"I wonder where Lord Chu is? Is he not with you?" Ma Han asked.

Fu Yunxuan said indifferently, "Commander Chu has gone to settle scores with the person behind the scenes, so he sent me to White Stone County to provide relief. I will be guarding White Stone County for the next few days."

"You should go and rest first!"

She observed the two; their eyes were weary and sunken, clearly caused by long periods of mental strain.

On the other side.

Chu Jiang led the remaining Demon Suppression Guards, traveling day and night without stopping, charging all the way.

Under the high-speed gallop of the horses, Jin Rilun's skin and flesh were rotting away; there wasn't a single piece of intact skin on his body. Prolonged suffering had already caused his spirit to scatter.

"How much further to the Qingfeng Stronghold?"

On the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle, Chu Jiang asked indifferently.

"Lord, less than a hundred miles!" Wang Chao responded loudly.

"Order the entire army to speed up!"

"I want the Qingfeng Stronghold to not see the sun of the next day. Anyone who dares to provoke me must die!"

Chu Jiang's words were filled with a chilling coldness.

"Yes!"

After being promoted to Vice Commander, his authority had increased.

He learned of the existence of the Secret Guards. The Secret Guards were also Demon Suppression Guards, but their main task was not to kill demons, but to monitor Jianghu Schools.

Due to a shortage of manpower, they mainly monitored large Schools.

But for some forces that were located in key positions or had special resources.

They would also dispatch Secret Guards.

On the surface, the Secret Guards were members of Jianghu Schools, but in reality, they were undercover agents planted in the Schools by the Demon Suppression Division.

Their status varied from high to low.

In some small and medium-sized forces, it was easy to infiltrate and rise in status.

Large forces had strict controls, and it was extremely rare to infiltrate into the upper echelons.

And this time.

A Secret Guard in the Qingfeng Stronghold sent a message. After several years of development, he had successfully become the Second Chieftain of the Qingfeng Stronghold. The Demon Suppression Division felt he was a talent.

They were preparing to transfer him back and plant him into a large School.

Just as he was preparing to leave, the First Chieftain of the Qingfeng Stronghold suddenly received an order from a mysterious employer, saying they wanted to kidnap people Chu Jiang was close to in White Stone County.

The Secret Guard probed for information.

The First Chieftain of the Qingfeng Stronghold never revealed the person behind it, being extremely secretive.

In order not to alert the enemy, the Secret Guard did not ask further.

The Qingfeng Stronghold was a tyrannical force that dominated Annan Prefecture, with deep foundations.

Named Qingfeng, but in reality, it was an evil wind.

It used a tiger head as its Gang emblem and was hidden in the deep mountains. It was a group of desperate outlaws with thousands of Gang members.

The three Chieftains of the Qingfeng Stronghold were all in the Vajra Realm.

As long as they were given money and resources, they were fearless and would do anything.

The Qingfeng Stronghold's base, even at night, had nearly two hundred people arranged for night patrols, dispersed at various points in the mountains.

On the mountain road to the Qingfeng Stronghold, a middle-aged man, burly and powerful, brought a young man to join the Qingfeng Stronghold. "Is the Qingfeng Stronghold really that strong? Once I join, when can I do a job?"

The young man giggled. He had been drooling over the daughter of the wealthy Mr. Zhao in the county town, but her family had hired guards, so he couldn't make a move for the time being.

Now, heaven-sent luck had allowed him to be noticed by the people of the Qingfeng Stronghold; his luck had finally turned.

If he didn't get his hands on Mr. Zhao's daughter, wouldn't it be a waste of joining the Qingfeng Stronghold?

"The Qingfeng Stronghold is famous and is one of the six major forces in Annan. Our First Chieftain's strength is unfathomable. Can it not be strong?"

"In this area of Annan, if you state the name of the Qingfeng Stronghold, you can walk sideways!"

The middle-aged man said proudly.

"Uncle, I have my eye on a woman, she is of top-tier appearance. Once we join the Qingfeng Stronghold, you must help me vet her. You go first, and I'll follow," the young man said ingratiatingly. This middle-aged man was an Innate expert; capturing Mr. Zhao's daughter would be a piece of cake.

"You're a sensible kid!"

"Once we enter the Qingfeng Stronghold, I'll take a look for you later, hahaha..."

The middle-aged man laughed loudly and led the young man into the Qingfeng Stronghold.

Suddenly.

A man in a tiger-head robe with a gloomy face walked toward the two.

"Greetings, Second Chieftain!"

The middle-aged man looked terrified and immediately began to kowtow, like a mouse seeing a cat; his laughter stopped abruptly.

"You brat, this is the Second Chieftain of our Qingfeng Stronghold. Why aren't you kneeling? You idiot!" The middle-aged man kicked the young man down, looking anxious.

The young man wisely began to kowtow, knocking his head nine times. His eyes were burning; seeing such a big shot just after joining, he was both afraid and a little excited.

However.

The man in the tiger-head robe acted as if he didn't see the two, ignoring them completely, and walked toward the outside of the stronghold.

Seeing him leave, the middle-aged man slowly stood up and looked at the young man, "No need to kowtow anymore, the Second Chieftain has already left!"

"You must remember, in our Qingfeng Stronghold, you can provoke anyone, but you cannot provoke the Second Chieftain, otherwise you will die, understand?"

"Over the years, the number of Gang members who have died at the hands of the Second Chieftain is dozens!"

"If you provoke him, even the First Chieftain cannot save you!"

The young man stood up and thought to himself: This is the kind of Gang he wanted to join, with no scruples. He had come to the right place today. Perhaps in ten or twenty years.

The position of Fourth Chieftain would be his turn to sit.

The middle-aged man looked at the back of the Second Chieftain as he left and asked somewhat puzzled, "It's so late, what is the Second Chieftain going out for? Did the First Chieftain arrange another job?"
