193: Take office, beautiful witch

A moment later, in the central main street of Luan Mo Region City, Mang Tianba and Fu Tianyuan stopped.

Jiang Lan also stopped right behind them.

In front of everyone was a building similar to a yamen, with a large gate, and two stone carvings for warding off evil placed at the entrance.

Jiang Lan didn't recognize what those things were.

"Wolf Brother, this is the Law Enforcement Hall. Come, I'll take you inside to get acquainted."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

"Alright."

Entering the courtyard, two rows of demons stood at the entrance, all holding clubs.

Upon seeing the group, the two rows of demons at the entrance chorused:

"Greetings, Hall Master Mang, Hall Master Fu!"

"Mm." Mang Tianba responded indifferently, then said, "Everyone come in. This Hall Master has an announcement."

"Yes!"

The two rows of demons followed the group into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Jiang Lan's expression became strange.

There were tables and chairs in the middle, nothing unusual about that.

But on the wall behind the table, a plaque hung high, inscribed with four large characters.

'Bright Mirror Hanging High'

Above the plaque, a mirror was also hung diagonally, directly facing the seats below.

This discovery truly made Jiang Lan feel both amused and bewildered.

Was this really not the imperial city of some place?

So, he came here to be an incorruptible official?

Also, how did this thing look so out of place appearing in the Demon Domain?

Not only that, but Jiang Lan had noticed many awkward things along the way.

The previous demon cities, their architecture, still had some differences from the human world.

But this place was completely like a human city copied over.

Aside from everything being one size larger, Jiang Lan even felt that the most central area of the Luan Mo Region was completely indistinguishable from the human world.

They even had a yamen.

In front of the long table in the middle, there were also four smaller tables, two on each side.

Behind the two small tables closest to the long table sat two people, one in black and one in white, both gaunt and looking listless.

Behind those two small tables sat two tall and burly fellows.

They had broad backs and thick waists, dressed in neat short outfits, revealing muscles that looked ready to burst.

Jiang Lan estimated that these two would be nearly three meters tall if they stood up.

Not only that, but behind the long table, there was also a person seated.

He was dressed like a scholar and had a decent appearance.

Good heavens, what a setup.

Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, plus the Judge, right?

Moreover, these few were all quite strong.

The scholar seated behind the long table seemed to have the strength of an early Core Formation Realm.

The other four, however, all appeared to be at the Peak of Mortal Shedding Realm.

In Jiang Lan's eyes, this might not be much.

But put out in the open, this lineup would definitely be considered luxurious.

Upon seeing the two demons, Mang and Fu, enter with Jiang Lan, the five demons who were originally seated all stood up to greet them.

"Greetings, Hall Master Mang, Hall Master Fu!"

"Mm." Mang Tianba responded, then said to Jiang Lan, "Wolf Brother, please take the main seat."

Jiang Lan naturally understood what he meant and directly sat in the main seat that the scholar-dressed demon had just vacated.

Mang Tianba cleared his throat and addressed the demons in the main hall:

"This is Wolf Qing, Wolf Brother. From today onwards, he will be the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall."

The demons below seemed to be well-trained, as they all knelt down in unison, loudly proclaiming to Jiang Lan:

"Welcome, Hall Master!"

At this time, Jiang Lan was not using the Hidden God Art to conceal his strength.

Therefore, his Core Formation Peak Realm pressure had been continuously emanating outwards.

He sat in the main seat, looking down at the room full of demons.

"Alright, everyone, rise."

Only then did the demons get up.

Mang Tianba glanced at the scholar-dressed demon and spoke:

"During the time when the Hall Master was absent, were you in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

The scholar-dressed demon nodded slightly.

"Precisely, it was I."

"Very well, then you will be responsible for familiarizing the new Hall Master with all matters."

The scholar bowed respectfully and said, "Your subordinate obeys."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Lan sighed inwardly.

After all, it was the Demon Domain; the strictness of the Rank system was indeed a bit excessive.

However, it was also understandable, after all, demons, they all respected strength.

Whoever was more capable and had a harder fist was the boss.

The Alliance Master of the Luan Yao Alliance was no different.

If any other demon later rose to power and surpassed the current Alliance Master in Realm, Jiang Lan had no doubt that they would directly seize power and usurp the throne.

After giving a few more instructions, Mang Tianba left with Fu Tianyuan.

For a moment, only Jiang Lan and the demons who were originally there remained.

"My Lord." The scholar-dressed demon came before Jiang Lan, "Shall I first take you around to get acquainted with the place?"

"That would be good."

He was new to this place and didn't know anywhere, so walking around and looking was not bad.

Mainly, after familiarizing himself with the environment, Jiang Lan wanted to quickly handle cases.

After all was said and done, killing demons was the proper business for him.

The scholar led Jiang Lan out of the main hall, while the other demons seemed not to have noticed their actions, remaining rooted to the spot, unmoving.

In this large courtyard, there was not only one yamen, but also many rooms on both sides, and even a back garden.

Although its area couldn't compare to the Demon Suppression Division of Great Yan, in terms of luxury and meticulousness, it was far superior to the Great Yan Demon Suppression Division.

Passing through the front courtyard, the scholar demon and Jiang Lan walked to the back courtyard.

There were rockeries, gardens, and lush trees providing shade.

Jiang Lan sighed again; this place truly didn't seem like something demons could create.

The scholar introduced:

"My Lord, this is the back garden of the Law Enforcement Hall. If you have nothing to do, you can come here to relax. If you need, your humble servant can also find some beautiful female demons for you."

Jiang Lan: "..."

Good heavens.

Beautiful female demons?

It wasn't that his lust had flared up, but Jiang Lan was genuinely curious to see what beautiful female demons looked like.

Rabbit girls? Cat girls?

He wondered if the aesthetic tastes of these demons in the Demon Domain kept up with the trends.

He thought about it, but Jiang Lan showed no outward expression, instead saying with a normal face:

"You don't need to tell me about these trivial matters. Mainly tell me what I absolutely must know. Also, the personnel composition of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"What you must know..." After a moment of contemplation, the scholar demon said, "The most important thing is only one matter."

"Oh?" Jiang Lan asked curiously, "Tell me."

"Hall Master, you must be careful of riots. Before you, nine Hall Masters of the Law Enforcement Hall have died violently due to riots."

Jiang Lan was just about to ask about this matter, and now hearing the scholar mention it, he also followed up and asked:

"Were you present during the tenure of the previous nine Hall Masters?"

"Yes, your humble servant was present for all of them."

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow.

Nine Hall Masters had died, but the subordinates were perfectly fine. What was the meaning of this?

"Why didn't those rioters kill you?"

"This..." The scholar hesitated.

Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.

"Just say what it is."

Gritting his teeth, the scholar said:

"Those demons only targeted the successive Hall Masters."
