189: Head of the Law Enforcement Hall

“Oh, oh, good friend, good friend…”

The Black-Clothed Youth paused, not asking further, but instead began to introduce himself: “My name is Fu Tianyuan. May I know Your Excellency’s name?”

Fu Tianyuan… A flicker of understanding rose in Jiang Lan’s heart.

So, he was a bat demon.

No wonder the Black-Clothed Youth looked so weak and half-dead, as if his Yang Qi was insufficient.

Along this journey, he had seen many types of demons, but a bat was truly his first.

However, speaking of it, after entering the demon territories, he had seen many demons, but he hadn't really seen many devils.

Although they were collectively called demons and devils, demons and devils were still different.

Those transformed from animals were generally referred to as demons.

As for devils, they were much rarer.

They were usually humanoid, and their appearance was often terrifying and horrifying.

Most of them were humans who had Cultivated evil methods, and there were also some naturally born and raised.

Moreover, their Cultivation methods were different from those of demons.

The previous Lord of the Turbid World was a devil.

The Cultivation methods of devil Cultivators were diverse; for instance, the previous Lord of the Turbid World relied on absorbing faith to enhance his strength.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Jiang Lan responded: “Lang Qing.”

“Brother Lang.” Fu Tianyuan cupped his fists in salute.

Jiang Lan nodded, then looked up again to observe.

Aside from looking malnourished, this bat really didn't differ much from a human.

This further convinced Jiang Lan that most of the powerful beings in this demon and devil world had transformed into human form.

Even if some retained their original demon or devil forms, they were probably only a minority.

A quarter of an hour later.

A distant purple figure flew towards Jiang Lan’s location in the sky.

The figure was extremely fast, landing in front of Jiang Lan in the blink of an eye.

It was precisely the Purple-Clad Youth who had left earlier.

Jiang Lan glanced at him and asked: “How is it?”

“Alliance Leader has agreed.” The Purple-Clad Youth seemed a bit excited, “And he even promised that as long as you join the Luan Yao Alliance, he will grant you the position of Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.”

“Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall?” Jiang Lan was puzzled, “Didn’t you say there are no laws in this Luan Mo Region? What does the Law Enforcement Hall do?”

“Brother, you misunderstand.” The Purple-Clad Youth explained, “It’s true that there are no laws in the Luan Mo Region, but if it gets too chaotic, not many living demons will be left in the Luan Mo Region after a while.

“And the duty of the Law Enforcement Hall is to apprehend those who cause too much trouble.”

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow.

That made some sense.

“What happens after they are apprehended?”

The Purple-Clad Youth smiled.

“Naturally, it’s to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys. It’s true there are no laws in the Luan Mo Region, but with the Law Enforcement Hall present, those demons who want to cause big trouble will have to weigh their options beforehand.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes lit up.

This place was good.

Wasn't this exactly what he was looking for?

The Law Enforcement Hall, killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.

If he caught more 'chickens' every day, wouldn't he gain more lifespan?

The most crucial thing was that killing demons in this way was reasonable, legitimate, and lawful.

Wasn't this heaven?

Jiang Lan immediately wanted to agree.

However, the words reached his lips, but Jiang Lan pulled them back.

Earlier, the Purple-Clad Youth seemed to think that their Alliance Leader would not allow Jiang Lan to join the Luan Yao Alliance.

The Purple-Clad Youth must be more familiar with the Alliance Leader than he was.

His expression earlier already indicated that the Alliance Leader would most likely not agree.

But after just going back to ask, and then returning, the Alliance Leader not only agreed but also arranged a Hall Master position for him.

This progression of events seemed a bit too smooth.

Was there… something amiss in it?

Jiang Lan frowned.

“I want to ask, what is the strength of your Alliance Leader?”

Hearing Jiang Lan’s question, the Purple-Clad Youth didn’t hesitate at all, saying proudly: “Alliance Leader is a powerful being at the Demon Infant Fourth Level. Even if Brother Lang offends someone outside, as long as you join my Luan Yao Alliance, you won’t have to worry from now on. My Luan Yao Alliance will stand up for you!”

The feeling of unease in Jiang Lan’s heart grew stronger.

Why?

He had no relation to the Alliance Leader of this place, so why would he be given a position and protected?

Jiang Lan himself didn’t know he was so valuable.

How did that saying go?

Every gift is marked with a price in secret.

Therefore, there must be something amiss.

Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes, looking at the Purple-Clad Youth.

“If I join, will we be fellow disciples from now on?”

“Naturally.” The Purple-Clad Youth nodded.

“Then setting up a fellow disciple, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

The Purple-Clad Youth’s expression changed slightly.

“Brother, what do you mean by that? Please forgive my dullness.”

Jiang Lan twitched his lips.

If he had only been suspicious just now, he could now be certain.

The Purple-Clad Youth was playing dumb with him, fully aware of the situation.

There must be some trap that he hadn’t told him about.

“Alright, just tell me the truth, and I will consider it. If you trick me today, as long as I don’t die, then it will be you who dies, brother.”

The wolf demon’s eyes flickered repeatedly.

He obviously knew that Jiang Lan had seen through him.

Moreover, with Jiang Lan at the Demon Core Ninth Level, he was no match for him, no matter what.

If he really gambled his own life, it would be a bit too unworthy.

Beside him, Fu Tianyuan also had a hesitant expression, wanting to speak but holding back.

After a while, the Purple-Clad Youth gritted his teeth.

“To be honest, within these three years, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall has already changed nine times. So…”

Jiang Lan interrupted the Purple-Clad Youth.

“Where did those nine Hall Masters go?”

The Purple-Clad Youth no longer concealed it, directly stating: “They died.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan understood.

He knew it; how could there be such a good thing as pie falling from the sky?

It turned out that the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was a high-risk profession.

To be honest, upon hearing this news, Jiang Lan was no longer flustered.

Dying in office only proved insufficient strength.

And Jiang Lan was very confident in his own strength.

However, what needed to be asked still had to be clarified beforehand.

“How did they die? Wasn’t it to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys? So the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was the chicken?”

“No, no, no…” The Purple-Clad Youth waved his hands repeatedly, “Not the chicken… Sigh… Let’s put it this way: although our Luan Yao Alliance is dominant, the Luan Mo Region… is indeed very chaotic. From time to time, new forces want to emerge. To emerge, they must first make a name for themselves, so attacking the various halls of the Luan Yao Alliance has become their fastest way to gain fame.

“Not just the Law Enforcement Hall, the Hall Masters of other halls also change frequently. It’s just that the Law Enforcement Hall, being a major hall, is attacked the most often.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan was relieved.

He thought it was something else.

Turns out it was just this much.

For others, it might cause fear.

But Jiang Lan didn’t care at all.

On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to demons forming groups to attack the Law Enforcement Hall.

As long as it wasn’t a great demon in the Demon Infant Realm right from the start, other demons would only become his nourishment.
