209: Commander

Lu Qian is back?

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

It wasn't that he missed the taste of the voluptuous beauty.

It was just that seeing her constantly bustling and toiling outside made Jiang Chen naturally feel pained.

Of course, Jiang Chen would not stop Lu Qian, Chu Yun, and others from pursuing their own careers.

Having ambition is, of course, a good thing.

As for the negotiations proposed by the Fenglan Sword Sect, Jiang Chen naturally didn't take them to heart.

They probably want to admit defeat.

Jiang Chen didn't care in his heart.

"Then let's pack up and prepare to withdraw as well."

Jiang Chen said.

In just one day, this batch of red iron mine had already been refined, at least to a degree where it could be easily transported away.

Sheng Yuntian was still very clear-headed.

Even if heavy troops were dispatched to guard this place.

They might not be able to hold onto this red iron mine.

Unless there was an expert like Jiang Chen constantly stationed here.

But if they couldn't deal with Jiang Chen, they naturally had many other ways to trouble him, after all, Jiang Chen could only guard one place, and they could tamper during transportation or in other locations.

Ultimately, it's impossible to guard against everything.

Being able to take this bite and make the Fenglan Sword Sect feel the pain was already quite good.

They could even wait for these people to finish processing the red iron mine, and then they could stage the same grand show again.

It was very easy.

If they forcefully occupied this place.

It would be extremely disadvantageous strategically.

After all, demons couldn't possibly be permanently stationed here all the time, right?

In the latter half of the night, the team began to retreat.

Jiang Chen also escorted them all the way.

Seeing Sun Yuliang's smile, almost reaching his ears, he knew that this time's harvest must have been quite abundant.

"These damned bastards."

"This red iron mine is so rich, yet it has been occupied by these people for so long!"

"With this batch of red iron mine, the equipment of our Demon Slayer Army will definitely be upgraded by a notch!"

Sun Yuliang laughed heartily.

This wave of benefits was his to gain.

No matter what, his Demon Slayer Army had to get half of these resources, otherwise, Sun Yuliang would go to the City Lord's Mansion and fight the City Lord.

At the same time.

Inside Cangzhou City.

When Lu Qian returned to the Black Yamen and heard about Jiang Chen's matter, she was even more shocked!

No wonder she was summoned back in such a hurry; it was for this matter.

When she learned that Jiang Chen was fine.

Lu Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he's alright."

Lu Qian thought in her heart.

She didn't care how many people from the Fenglan Sword Sect died.

If it weren't for her lack of ability.

Otherwise, Lu Qian would have directly led people to kill their way to the Fenglan Sword Sect; she wouldn't have waited until now.

How dare they bring people to harm her man!

However, just as Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

She heard a heavy thud of footsteps.

When Lu Qian looked over, her expression immediately became solemn.

"Commander Sir!?"

Lu Qian quickly saluted.

"Deputy Commander Lu Qian, greets the Southern District Commander!"

Demon Slayer Guard Commander.

There were only four positions in total.

Each was a Grandmaster Realm expert in their respective Domain.

Their own cultivation was even comparable to a Heavenly Martial Realm existence.

But relying on their Grandmaster-level Martial Dao True Meaning, even ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm demons were not their opponents.

Every Commander had earned their position through genuine skill.

Lu Qian hadn't expected to see the Southern District Commander today!

Although there were rumors that among the four Commanders, the Southern District Commander was the weakest, in Lu Qian's view, the strength of these Commanders was equally powerful and unreachable.

She just didn't know how their strength compared to Jiang Chen's.

Lu Qian thought in her mind.

After all, when Jiang Chen killed that Heavenly Martial Realm high-level demon.

It seemed very easy.

"You are Lu Qian."

"Is that Jiang Chen your soldier?"

The Southern District Commander, Mu Yuanzhang, had a gaunt face and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

His gaze was sinister, and his Aura was even more intimidating.

After all, they had all climbed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Their own Aura was naturally terrifying.

Ordinary people would probably not last long under this Aura.

"Reporting to Sir, that is correct."

Lu Qian said.

"Hmph!"

The Southern District Commander let out a cold snort.

He seemed to express a great deal of dissatisfaction.

"Don't you know that with the Heavenly-Grade Demon Caverns in turmoil, our dynasty and the Fenglan Sword Sect urgently need to establish a cooperative relationship right now!"

"As a Deputy Commander, you failed to restrain your subordinates, allowing them to act recklessly, even publicly killing the Saint of the Fenglan Sword Sect!"

"How do you explain this matter?"

The Southern District Commander.

Mu Yuanzhang shouted in a cold voice.

A terrifying pressure immediately bore down on Lu Qian.

Lu Qian's pretty face instantly turned pale.

Fortunately, a figure arrived in time.

He came to Lu Qian's side, which made Lu Qian feel a little better.

"Old Mu, when did you arrive? You didn't even say hello to me!"

Mu Yuanzhang looked at the newcomer, his gloomy eyes slightly narrowing.

He waved his sleeve, dispelling his Aura.

The person who arrived was none other than City Lord Sheng Yuntian.

Lu Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Sheng Yuntian intervened, otherwise, she would have likely faced death today.

Death wasn't terrifying.

It was just that she would regret not having the chance to see Jiang Chen again, and that was what Lu Qian feared most now.

"City Lord Sheng, this is a matter within my Black Yamen."

"If the City Lord's Mansion wishes to interfere, please present Your Majesty's decree."

Mu Yuanzhang looked at Sheng Yuntian and said indifferently.

"Hehe, I don't mean to interfere, after all, I also bear some responsibility for Jiang Chen's matter."

"I want to ask, did Your Majesty instruct you to handle this matter?"

Sheng Yuntian asked.

Mu Yuanzhang gave Sheng Yuntian a meaningful glance.

"If this matter were to reach Your Majesty's ears, it would be a dereliction of duty by my Black Yamen, leading to a great disaster!"

"This matter must be accounted for to the Fenglan Sword Sect."

"When the Elder of the Fenglan Sword Sect arrives, I want to see Jiang Chen present."

"That's all."

Mu Yuanzhang said, his already gloomy face now even more sinister.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian immediately became anxious.

She quickly stepped forward.

And Mu Yuanzhang merely glanced at Lu Qian indifferently.

His tone changed, actually speaking with a hint of gentleness.

"Lu Qian, you have been in the position of Deputy Commander for quite some time."

"As long as you hand over Jiang Chen and resolve this matter beautifully, I guarantee you the position of Commander."

"Old Sheng!"

"It's not that I'm lecturing you."

"Why are you protecting that Jiang Chen!"

"I've decided to take Jiang Chen's life! No one can stop me."

Mu Yuanzhang said sternly, stating his position.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Hmph, Commander Mu."

"You are the Southern District Commander."

"The Cangzhou City Black Yamen falls under the jurisdiction of the Northern District."

"You have no say in Jiang Chen's matter!"
