52: Wu Dingxiong

Early in the morning, an official from the yamen arrived to inform Jiang Chen that he needed to report on time.

Jiang Chen guessed that there must be some news about the demon's lair.

Although the blade he used last time was heavy, it was still a bit weak for Jiang Chen.

A few days ago, Jiang Chen ordered a new one from Dragon Spring Pavilion.

The appearance of the blade was roughly the same as the original, but its weight reached 1,300 catties.

The craftsmanship of forging weapons is not simply about making them as heavy as possible.

Due to the limitations of Materials, while increasing the weight, it is also necessary to ensure the toughness of the blade, as well as its heat and cold resistance, and that the overall blade body is smooth and conducive to chopping.

Otherwise, if your blade is purely for weight, you might as well carry an iron block.

Naturally, Dragon Spring Pavilion in Dongfeng Town currently does not have such good Materials that can produce a weapon that is sufficiently heavy and effective.

After all, there are not many Body Cultivators.

No one would buy such a heavy treasure sword if it were forged.

"Xiao Chen, I saw you didn't eat the dumplings last time; they must have been too soupy and troublesome. These past few days, I've baked some beef jerky for you. It's light and doesn't take up much space. Take it with you, just in case."

Cheng Yurou walked over with an oil-paper package.

"Thank you, my Rou'er."

"If you need to go out, don't stay out for too long, and avoid crowded places."

Jiang Chen tucked the oil-paper package containing the beef jerky into his embrace.

Rou'er's cooking has always been excellent; the beef jerky she baked was neither dry nor tough, full of chewiness, and spicy, making one salivate.

After all, they were several living people; they couldn't stay cooped up at home every day.

At least for now, Dongfeng Town was relatively safe.

"Mmm, mmm, it's chaotic outside now, and our strength is low. Going out would only cause you trouble."

"We won't go anywhere; we'll just Cultivate at home and wait for you to come back."

Cheng Yurou said, and Xia Si柠 and Xia Sixuan both nodded obediently.

With these days of Cultivating, coupled with the effects of the Spirit Gathering Array,

The girls became increasingly radiant. If the three girls were to go out on the street together, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation, so it was better to keep a low profile.

"That would be for the best. After I return, I'll take you all out to play."

Jiang Chen said, and thinking about it, he realized that he had been busy with Cultivating and matters concerning demons these days. Dongfeng Town still had a few scenic spots, but he hadn't been able to take them to visit.

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately beamed with joy and cheered.

Cheng Yurou hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but finally plucked up her courage and came to Jiang Chen's side, whispering into his ear.

"Sister Sining said that if the four of us Cultivate together, the effect might be even better..."

Jiang Chen took a sharp breath upon hearing Cheng Yurou's words.

His eyes showed a look of surprise and joy.

Although the Xia Sisters could accept it.

That didn't mean that Cheng Yurou, who had relatively conservative views, would also accept such a method.

Yet, he hadn't expected Cheng Yurou to actually be willing to be with the Xia Sisters.

"Hmph... I knew you'd like it this way."

"Hurry up and go, don't miss the time."

Cheng Yurou rolled her eyes when she saw Jiang Chen's happy expression.

However, she was secretly delighted. Jiang Chen clearly liked it that way, but he didn't actively suggest it, which showed that he respected her very much and didn't treat her as a casual woman.

And she, of course, was willing to do anything for Jiang Chen.

"Good!"

Jiang Chen nodded, and after embracing the three girls, he headed to the yamen.

While on his way, he unconsciously performed the Teng Snake Step.

After his Physical Body reached the Xiantian Realm, his comprehension of the Teng Snake Step seemed to have ascended to another level.

"It seems that reaching the Xiantian Realm in Body Cultivation is not just a simple change in strength."

"The surrounding Spiritual Qi is also more compatible with my body."

"Could this be... the Power of Heaven and Earth!"

Jiang Chen's heart stirred.

After all, he had only reached the Xiantian Realm in his Physical Body last night.

Perhaps there were still many profound mysteries within this Xiantian Realm that needed to be carefully experienced.

In front of the government office, as soon as Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance, he saw Nie Wenlong already waiting there.

"Lord Nie?"

"Lord Jiang, good morning!"

Nie Wenlong saw Jiang Chen and immediately went up to greet him.

Then he walked to the side with Jiang Chen.

"Lord Jiang, those four cloth shop owners, after being interrogated in the prison, confessed to many things."

"It turns out that these four cloth shops all belonged to the Wu Family. Young Master Wu Dingxiong of the Wu Family even used these four cloth shops, under the guise of fabric displays and new clothing try-ons, to deceive hundreds of young girls. During the try-on, he would deliberately damage the clothes and claim that they had damaged them, forcing them to pay huge compensation."

"Those with ordinary looks were directly sent to the red-light district, while some with beautiful looks were forcibly sent to Wu Dingxiong's place for his amusement. These girls, knowing they were in the wrong and unable to contend with the Wu Family's influence, dared not speak out."

Nie Wenlong clearly hadn't expected that the seemingly respectable Wu Family would have such dirty dealings in private.

"A bunch of beasts!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Although he knew that Yang Shishi's case was definitely not an isolated incident, he hadn't expected these people to be so utterly devoid of conscience.

"These are their confessions, but I haven't reported them yet. I've only temporarily imprisoned the four of them in the dungeon."

Nie Wenlong said in a deep voice.

With the Wu Family's methods, it was likely that as soon as these confessions were submitted, they would immediately be intercepted.

"It's a pity that these confessions can only convict the four of them. The Wu Family will certainly be able to escape unscathed."

"By the way, I heard that someone from the Wu Family will also be participating in today's operation."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

"This is customary. In previous years, if there was a major beast plague or bandit problem, the officials would also conscript these Family forces and have them contribute."

"Alright, I understand. You don't need to worry about the Wu Family's matter. Keep the confessions for now."

"Lord Nie, you handled this matter well. Take this."

Jiang Chen took out a Medicinal Pill from his Pregnant and handed it to Nie Wenlong.

When Nie Wenlong took the Medicinal Pill, he was instantly shocked.

He spoke in a somewhat lost voice.

"Body... Body Tempering Pill...!"

"Lord Jiang... this, this is too precious!"

Nie Wenlong quickly said.

"Take it."

Jiang Chen's tone was calm, and Nie Wenlong immediately realized that Jiang Chen had already risen rapidly in status. It was said that he had also become the Disciple of Lord Wang Fusheng, and his future in the Black Yamen would be boundless.

Nie Wenlong naturally couldn't bear to return the Medicinal Pill, so he immediately put it away.

"Lord Jiang, rest assured, if there is any task in the future, I, Nie Wenlong, will not hesitate!"

Afterward, Jiang Chen first went to the verification hall to redeem the rewards for the three wanted criminals from yesterday.

Then he arrived at the large courtyard in front of the deliberation hall to gather.

Many people had already gathered in the courtyard.

"Lord Jiang, over here."

Gao Jie waved and called out to Jiang Chen. Zhou Miaoqing, standing beside Gao Jie, showed a hint of joy in her eyes when she saw Jiang Chen.

As soon as Jiang Chen walked up to Gao Jie,

He heard a voice with a hint of provocation.

"This must be the legendary Lord Jiang Chen."

"Indeed, heroes emerge from the young. To slay demons and eliminate harm for the people at such a young age."

"He is truly a role model for the younger generation of our Wu Family to learn from."

A well-dressed, tall and upright young man, like a dashing Young Master, walked forward.

The other party was half a head taller than Jiang Chen.

After stopping, he spoke from a condescending position.

"I am Wu Dingxiong of the Wu Family."

"My master is the Body Cultivator Great Master Yan Yue of the Ba Shan Sect."

"I heard that Lord Jiang possesses Innate Divine Power. I hope we can spar sometime."
