37: The Black Yamen

When the Great Wilderness Emperor Yang Art and the Great Vehicle Emperor Yin Art were cultivated simultaneously, the speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi and refining Spiritual Qi both increased several times over.

This was still based on Cheng Yurou's relatively low cultivation level.

If both parties' strength increased, then the improvement effect would be even more significant!

"Rou'er, you're progressing so fast, and when you and I Cultivate together with our Cultivation Techniques, my speed can also increase a lot."

"Really? Can I help Xiao Chen?"

Cheng Yurou was also a little excited.

She didn't seek to master powerful abilities.

At first, she just wanted to not be a burden to Jiang Chen, but now, if there was an opportunity to help Jiang Chen, it was naturally something she eagerly desired.

"Of course, you've helped a great deal!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, right, I'm going out this afternoon to report to the yamen."

"There have been some traces of demons in the city recently, so it's not very safe. The three of you should not go out."

"If you need anything, I'll bring it back when I return."

Jiang Chen put on his clothes, and Cheng Yurou actively tiptoed over, pressing against Jiang Chen's body to help him straighten his collar, before bending down to pick up her skirt that had fallen to the floor.

This sight almost made Jiang Chen's blood boil.

Cheng Yurou turned around and saw Jiang Chen's strained expression, and couldn't help but smile faintly, feeling very satisfied in her heart.

"I'm all yours now, you can have me whenever you want."

"The Family's reserves are sufficient. I was worried about wasting time going back and forth to buy things, so I stocked up on about a month's worth of food."

Cheng Yurou said.

"Alright then, I've set up a Formation in the courtyard. As long as you don't leave the courtyard, no one can harm you."

Jiang Chen said, not hiding these matters from Cheng Yurou.

Formation?

There was a light in Cheng Yurou's eyes. Xiao Chen was truly amazing, even knowing how to set up Formations.

"Okay, I'll Cultivate with Sining and the others later."

"Are you coming back for dinner?"

Cheng Yurou knew that Xiao Chen would be very busy for the sake of this Family.

But no matter how busy he was, he still had to eat.

"Not necessarily."

"I'll make you a bamboo tube of dumplings."

Cheng Yurou then hurried to the kitchen to cook a pot of dumplings for Jiang Chen to take with him.

The dumplings were packed in a bamboo tube lunchbox. Cheng Yurou had thought before, if Xiao Chen didn't come home for two or three days, it would be bad if he got hungry outside.

"Thank you, Rou'er."

Jiang Chen did not refuse.

After greeting Xia Si柠, Jiang Chen headed to the yamen.

Xia Si柠 and Xia Sixuan were both immersed in Cultivation at this moment.

After all, this was a rare opportunity to change their destiny, and they naturally didn't want to give it up.

When the Xia Family was wealthy, Xia Si柠's father had also found Cultivation Techniques for them, but there was no reaction at all. Martial Dao talent was not something everyone possessed.

Unexpectedly, the Cultivation Technique Jiang Chen gave them was effective.

So, the two girls did not want to give up this opportunity.

As he approached the yamen, Jiang Chen, at a corner, directly took out the bag containing Ding Wuhen's corpse, carried it in his hand, and walked towards the yamen.

The two guards on duty immediately straightened their backs when they saw Jiang Chen indeed carrying a burlap sack.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang."

The two clasped their fists towards Jiang Chen.

Last night, the news that Jiang Chen alone had killed over thirty Ding Family guards had already exploded in the yamen today.

Everyone knew that an extraordinary powerhouse had arrived at the yamen.

The Ding Family had been all-powerful in Dongfeng Town for many years, causing much trouble, and even the government found it difficult to curb them.

Yet, in just one night, so many Ding Family guards had been killed.

It was said that Ding Wuhen, the second young master of the Ding Family, was also killed, and he reportedly revealed his demonic form.

Now, the yamen was truly interesting; who would have thought the Ding Family were actually demons.

No wonder these fellows had monopolized the wealth of Dongfeng Town for so long.

The Jiang Chen before them was the formidable man who had slain the Ding Family guards.

These two guards naturally dared not be negligent.

"Morning."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said.

The two looked at the burlap sack Jiang Chen was carrying, filled with curiosity.

"Could that sack contain Ding Wuhen's demonic corpse?"

"Very likely. The Ding Family is finished now! I've long disliked them."

Jiang Chen arrived at the verification hall.

Wang Fusheng had clearly risen early, as there were still many uneaten breakfast items on the table.

When he saw Jiang Chen approaching, Wang Fusheng immediately stepped forward.

"Killed a demon? Let me take a look."

Jiang Chen originally thought Wang Fusheng would ask a few questions, but unexpectedly, Wang Fusheng's focus was entirely on the demon.

"Here."

Jiang Chen poured out Ding Wuhen's corpse.

"Why is this belly empty?"

"I accidentally blew it up."

Wang Fusheng gasped.

He wondered inwardly how much Divine Power this fellow possessed by nature.

The demon's skeleton looked to be of the Houtian Realm, yet he could punch a person's belly to pieces.

The internal organs were directly mashed into a pulp.

Wang Fusheng poked the corpse a few times with a bamboo skewer.

"Not bad, this official truly didn't misjudge you."

"This demonic corpse earns you 100 contribution points, and the intelligence you brought back also earns you 100 contribution points."

"After so many years, the news of the Ding Family being demons has finally been confirmed."

"Oh? Confirmed?"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up at the words. They hadn't even investigated anything yet.

"Hmm? Don't you know? This morning, the Ding Family manor was already deserted."

"However, these fellows seemed to have prepared in advance. They had already sold off much property and purchased many demon essence blood from Cangzhou City and other prefectures. I estimate these guys have stopped pretending. We don't know their whereabouts for now."

Wang Fusheng said.

He then summoned two servants to carry Ding Wuhen's corpse to the back.

"Oh, right, you don't need to go back today. Wait at the yamen."

"There was news this morning that three Lords from Cangzhou City's Black Yamen are already on their way here."

"They should arrive by afternoon at the earliest. At that time, you will need to obey the Black Yamen's orders."

Wang Fusheng said.

Only then did Jiang Chen realize that the Ding Family's departure was probably not due to Ding Wuhen, but because the Black Yamen's experts were about to arrive, causing them to flee in a hurry.

The weakest members of the Black Yamen were all in the Houtian Realm.

It was still unknown what level of Black Yamen members were coming. If a Centurion or similar rank arrived, and the Ding Family didn't run, then there might not even be living people left to collect their corpses.

As Wang Fusheng was speaking, Jiang Chen's ears twitched, hearing a commotion outside the yamen, along with the neighing of horses.

Soon, a messenger soldier hurried in.

"Lord, the Lords from the Black Yamen have arrived! The Town Commander asks you to go to the council hall for a meeting."

The Black Yamen people have arrived!? So fast!

Jiang Chen's heart stirred.

Jiang Chen was also very curious about that mysterious existence.

Even a demon Family like the Ding Family was directly struck with fear.

"Let's go, call those few field agents from the inner room, and let's go together."
