135: City Lord Sheng Yuntian

Was it really him?

How did he do it? Lu Qian's heart trembled.

She recalled that when that strike landed, it had only cleaved open the Blood Hawk Demon King's Physical Body.

Could it be!

Divine Soul attack!

Jiang Chen had always mingled with them as a Demon Slayer Guard, so much so that Lu Qian almost forgot that Jiang Chen also held the identity of a Demon Suppressing Envoy!

To become a Demon Suppressing Envoy, one must possess a certain level of Divine Soul cultivation.

She almost forgot that Jiang Chen was also a Soul Cultivator.

It was precisely Jiang Chen who had unleashed a Divine Soul-type attack, which allowed him to slay the Blood Hawk Demon King.

However, in the eyes of others, although Lu Qian's strike achieved an astonishing result,

In life-and-death battles, unexpected situations always arise.

Even if you are strong, you may not necessarily be assured of victory.

Perhaps it was a backlash from the blood nether fruit.

Chu Yun also quickly came to Lu Qian's side to support her; Lu Qian's previous strike held nothing back, otherwise, she might not have been able to penetrate the Blood Hawk Demon King's Physical Body.

"I'm fine."

Lu Qian swallowed a Medicinal Pill.

However, she was thinking that this time she owed Jiang Chen an immense favor.

Jiang Chen not only saved her life,

but also bestowed such a prominent military achievement upon her.

Not only that.

It was also Jiang Chen's shout earlier that exposed Ling Jianglong.

She hadn't expected Ling Jianglong to be an internal traitor.

Now the Black Yamen would issue a full-scale warrant for Ling Jianglong's arrest.

Recalling Ling Jianglong's arrogant, condescending demeanor earlier, as if he had her completely cornered, and now he had become a wanted criminal.

A feeling of triumph welled up in Lu Qian's heart.

Of course, she also knew that the one who brought about such a significant change for her was precisely Jiang Chen!

It could be said that this directly altered her fate.

But Jiang Chen clearly didn't want to expose too much, so Lu Qian could only accept the credit for now, and then consider how to repay Jiang Chen's kindness later.

"Congratulations, Milady, for slaying the Demon King, eradicating the demonic plague, and rooting out a cancerous element within the Demon Slayer Guard."

Jiang Chen stepped forward to congratulate her at the opportune moment.

Ye Wanqiu, however, went forward to inspect the Blood Hawk Demon King's corpse, but she did not say much.

With a flick of her long blade, she extracted the Blood Hawk Demon King's inner core.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister."

Ye Wanqiu came before Lu Qian and said.

Lu Qian also graduated from the Sacred Martial Academy, several batches before Ye Wanqiu, but this batch of students from the Sacred Martial Academy were all incredibly powerful.

"The credit for slaying the Demon King today goes to everyone present."

Lu Qian said with a smile, accepting the demonic inner core.

According to custom, whoever slays the demon, the inner core belongs to them.

Only demons of the Earth Martial Realm and above will condense an inner core.

The inner core is also a valuable Material, with a great auxiliary effect for refining high-quality Medicinal Pills.

At the same time, it can also be directly absorbed and refined like a Spirit Stone.

But the prerequisite is to be able to withstand the violent Aura contained within the demonic inner core.

Jiang Chen still had a Heavenly Martial Realm demonic inner core in his hand.

It was equivalent to a sixth-grade Spirit Medicine.

Hearing Lu Qian's words, everyone also smiled; besides the Demon Slayer Guard, there were also many commanders, and they had all collectively helped suppress the Blood Hawk Demon King earlier.

Suddenly, two figures swiftly streaked across the sky.

With a whoosh, they landed.

Both of them were also exuding a powerful Aura.

One of them, dressed in white brocade, looked around forty years old, with an upright demeanor, though his face was a bit pale, and his sharp eyes commanded respect without anger.

The other was a figure clad in armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, appearing expressionless, with only unwavering determination to protect the middle-aged man beside him in his eyes.

"Greetings, City Lord!"

"It's the City Lord, greetings, City Lord!"

Upon seeing the arrivals, everyone immediately stepped forward to salute.

Jiang Chen also saluted.

After all, as City Lord, his official rank and status were the highest here.

It was Jiang Chen's first time seeing the City Lord of Cangzhou City.

Truly worthy of being the City Lord, this temperament looked extraordinary.

However, if it were in the past.

Jiang Chen might have greatly admired him, even regarding him as a deity, a high and mighty existence.

But now it was different.

Because Jiang Chen had now discovered that.

With strength, even a god could be killed.

Naturally, he didn't feel as much reverence.

However, it was said that the City Lord of Cangzhou City was himself a good City Lord who cared for his people, and he managed the entire Cangzhou City territory in an orderly manner.

At least, Jiang Chen admitted that he did not possess this ability.

"No need for formalities, everyone, carry out your duties."

City Lord Sheng Yuntian nodded slightly, raising a hand to signal everyone to disperse.

After all, this was the front line, and there were always unexpected situations; one could not relax at any time.

The City Lord had already personally arrived.

He immediately took control of the overall situation on site.

And Jiang Chen naturally didn't need to stay here; basically, it was Lu Qian and some legion commanders who accompanied him.

Originally, Ling Jianglong should have been accompanying them too, but judging by the current situation, Ling Jianglong would probably embark on a path of desperate escape.

Jiang Chen did not participate in the cleanup of the demon territory; most of these arduous tasks were handed over to the Demon Slayer Guard and the Demon Slayer Army.

The demonic unrest in the Qingyun Mountain Range had finally come to an end.

The subsequent work was also proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Jiang Chen himself was a Demon Suppressing Envoy transferred from outside.

Although he was now a Banner Officer under Lu Qian, according to procedure, he still had to return to Wang Fusheng to report before heading to Cangzhou City to report for duty.

"Remember to say hello to Lingshu for me."

Jiang Chen pinched Chu Yun's plump cheeks.

"Okay, then remember to come find us in Cangzhou City soon."

"My split is really amazing."

Chu Yun's eyes were as if they could ensnare one's Divine Soul.

Her words also stirred Jiang Chen's inner fire; if it weren't for the many prying eyes here, he would have loved to simply take Chu Yun down.

"I'll deal with you properly when I get back."

Jiang Chen said fiercely.

As he left, he also encountered the people from the Sacred Martial Academy, who were also preparing to depart.

Ye Wanqiu saw Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, but still actively walked forward.

"Jiang Chen, if you have a chance, come find me in the Imperial Capital, I'll treat you to a meal."

Ye Wanqiu extended the invitation proactively.

"Okay, I still owe you a meal."

Jiang Chen cupped his fists slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqiu couldn't help but smile; she hadn't expected Jiang Chen to still remember the meal from before, thinking it was just something he said casually.

It was Ye Wanqiu's smile that made Jiang Chen feel that this 'female killing god' everyone talked about seemed to possess a unique charm.

Jiang Chen turned and left.

However, the group from the Sacred Martial Academy were all stunned.

"Oh my god, Senior Sister Ye smiled!"

"I don't think I've ever seen Senior Sister Ye smile before."

"That kid is so lucky, Senior Sister actually smiled at him!"
