19: Chapter 19 Chen Yuanba, Master of the Evil Suppression Division

After leaving the Pei Family grounds, Pei Qingyun discovered that a group of people had been waiting for a long time.

There were exactly ten of them, no more, no less.

Every single one of these ten was a Divine Strength Martial Artist.

Even a single one of them would be enough to dominate a small town.

Especially the three Elders of the Pei Clan, whose strength was at least at the Late-Stage Divine Strength Martial Artist level; they were the strongest combatants within Wuyang County, excluding any Five-Viscera Martial Artist.

Yet, even such a group could barely protect themselves during the Demon extermination operation.

Sweeping his gaze over them, Pei Qingyun looked at the Face of every person.

"This operation will be under my full command. Everyone must stay close and not stray from the formation."

"We will strictly follow the Old Ancestor's instructions."

"Good, let's move out!"

Following that high-pitched voice, every clansman mounted their own spirited horse.

At the same time, the other two families also began to assemble.

Wang Family grounds.

"I've finally waited for this day. You old thing, this time I will definitely make you die in the Demon disaster." Wang Yang's eyes were fierce, and a cruel smile spread across his Face.

Ever since the Dahe Gang was destroyed, he had been harboring a grudge.

Now there was finally an opportunity. He had waited so painfully long for this day.

Once Pei Qingyun died in the Demon disaster, the Wang Family would surely flourish under his leadership.

Just as Wang Yang was immersed in the fantasy of the Family flourishing after Pei Qingyun's death, a voice from behind snapped him out of it.

"Patriarch, it is time to set off. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't make it in time."

Glancing at the hourglass, Wang Yang also realized the urgency of time.

Mounting their horses, the Wang Family group headed straight for the Evil Suppression Bureau.

At the entrance of the Evil Suppression Bureau, personnel from various major forces arrived one after another.

This Demon extermination operation was not just a matter for the three major families and the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Every Family and force that possessed a Divine Strength Martial Artist was required to send people to participate in this extermination operation.

As for forces that did not even have a Divine Strength Martial Artist, there was no need to participate.

Below the level of a Divine Strength Martial Artist, one would struggle even against a first-tier Demon, let alone exterminating them.

At that point, they wouldn't be helping; they would be a hindrance. A Martial Artist's corpse could mutate.

Just like that, some small and medium-sized forces began to interact with one another.

They were not strong, and it was very dangerous to be in this Demon extermination operation. Only by sticking together could they have a shred of a sense of security, though whether it was useful or not was another matter.

Just as the major forces were chatting, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "The Pei Family is here!"

"The Pei Family? They've arrived?"

"Look, the person in the lead is the Ancestor of the Pei family, Pei Qingyun. I saw him during the last operation."

Looking towards the morning sun, it was indeed the group from the Pei Family.

Although several days had passed since the news of the Dahe Gang's destruction, how could the forces present forget this fierce god so quickly?

With the arrival of Pei Qingyun, the gaze of the vast majority of people present was focused on him.

Pei Qingyun did not mind the gazes of the crowd. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Pei Family group dismounted.

At this moment, everyone consciously made way for them. Unlike the others, members of the three major families could enter the Evil Suppression Bureau directly.

"As expected of the Pei Family, their presence is truly extraordinary. Unlike us small fry, who have to wait at the door even when we're here to risk our lives."

"Sigh, let's not talk about it. Talking more just brings tears; I can only blame myself for not being born into a good Family in my past life. I don't even know if I can survive this operation. If I don't, I must be born into a good Family in my next life."

"Stop saying such disheartening things. I was in a decent mood, but now it's all gone."

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Pei Qingyun entered the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Upon entering the Evil Suppression Bureau, Pei Qingyun was met with a gaze. Looking towards the source of the gaze, he saw an extremely tall figure.

The owner of this figure was about eight feet tall, wearing a helmet, his muscles encased in heavy, dark armor, with a long sword tied at his waist, and his entire person exuded an aura of heaviness.

An ordinary person would be intimidated by the invisible might exuded by him at just a single glance.

The owner of this figure was none other than the Chief of the Evil Suppressing Department, Chen Yuanba, who, with his Late Stage of Five Viscera cultivation, dominated the position of the strongest expert in Wuyang County.

Seeing Pei Qingyun arrive, Chen Yuanba put on a smile, pointed to a seat nearby, and said, "Ancestor of the Pei family, please have a seat."

Hearing this, Pei Qingyun did not stand on ceremony and sat right down.

As for the seating arrangement, he did not care. For the past few years, the Pei Family had been weak, so sitting in this position was reasonable, unless he was willing to reveal his cultivation on the spot.

Clearly, he was not going to expose his trump cards for the sake of so-called Face. A position did not represent anything; in the end, it was the fist that did the talking.

After arranging for Pei Qingyun to sit, the two did not speak, and the hall suddenly became quiet. However, Pei Qingyun could feel that Chen Yuanba's gaze remained on him.

"Could he have guessed something?" Pei Qingyun remained expressionless, but his mind was active.

As long as he didn't fight, he wasn't worried about his cultivation being seen through. But he had a flaw. Before his Transmigration, his Qi and blood were in a declining state, and his whole body emitted a faint, decaying smell.

But now his Qi and blood were full; how could he imitate that decaying aura?

However, Chen Yuanba's gaze did not linger for too long before he looked toward the door. Yet, when he looked back, there was an imperceptible, strange glint in the corner of his eyes.

It was said that Pei Qingyun's Qi and blood were declining and he was on the verge of dying of old age. Now it seemed that all of this was nothing but a joke.

Combined with the incident involving the Dahe Gang, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yuanba's mouth. This time, the Wang Family and Li Family would probably suffer a huge setback.

As for whether Pei Qingyun would threaten his position, it was never a consideration for him. What if his Qi and blood were not declining? At best, he was only at the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm.

If Pei Qingyun could persist longer in the Demon extermination operation, it might not be a bad thing.

Not long after, the Wang Family group also arrived at the Evil Suppression Bureau. Seeing Wang Yang arrive, Pei Qingyun did not put on a cold Face.

Although the two families were at daggers drawn, they still greeted each other on the surface. As for whether the greetings were sincere, anyone with a discerning eye knew.

Soon, Wang Yang sat on the other side, appearing calm and collected, but his peripheral vision remained fixed on Pei Qingyun.

How could Pei Qingyun not know about Wang Yang's little schemes? His expression was natural, and he appeared lighthearted and indifferent.

"He's about to die soon, so let the old thing pretend for a while longer." But Wang Yang did not think so; seeing Pei Qingyun's appearance, the killing intent in his heart grew even stronger.

Just like that, the three of them waited in the hall for about a quarter of an hour, and then Patriarch Li Wu of the Li Family also arrived at the Evil Suppression Bureau with his group. From this point on, the major forces were considered gathered.
