194: Jade Becomes a Demon, Chaos Demon Realm History

Jiang Lan seemed lost in thought.

It only targets previous Hall Masters.

This place is getting more and more interesting.

Looking at the demon in scholar's attire, Jiang Lan asked:

"What's your name?"

"Replying to your esteemed self, my humble name is Cui Yushan."

Cui Yushan.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a proper name.

Proper names are rare in this place.

However... Jiang Lan asked again:

"What kind of demon are you?"

The demons he had encountered before, he could roughly guess their type just by hearing their names.

But the name Cui Yushan, for a moment, left Jiang Lan a bit puzzled.

Cui Yushan didn't speak, but his form began to change.

His head directly turned emerald green, appearing crystal clear.

Jiang Lan blinked.

Jade demon?

So many demons along the way were transformed from animals; he hadn't expected Cui Yushan's true form to be a piece of jade.

"Replying to your esteemed self, this humble one is unpolished jade from the mountains, and by chance obtained an Opportunity, which allowed me to take human form."

Cui Yushan's jade head remained motionless, but his voice emanated from his position.

Jiang Lan felt quite novel.

Normally, demons are passed down from generation to generation.

If the parents are demons, what they give birth to are naturally also demons.

As for where the very first demons came from, Jiang Lan wasn't clear about that.

However, looking at Cui Yushan, he also gained some understanding in his heart.

By chance, obtaining a wisp of True Qi can transform one into a demon?

"Alright, change back."

Having a stone head, in Jiang Lan's view, was indeed a bit strange.

Cui Yushan once again reverted to his original human appearance.

Jiang Lan spoke again, asking:

"What position did you originally hold in this Law Enforcement Hall?"

Cui Yushan replied:

"Replying to your esteemed self, this humble one was originally the chief clerk here."

Jiang Lan nodded.

It's the same as human official positions.

However, in the human world, a chief clerk is usually a secretarial position, often also managing accounts.

But here, it's probably just a pure secretary.

After all, there probably aren't any accounts to manage in a place like this.

"How many demons does the Law Enforcement Hall usually capture on a daily basis?"

"It varies. When there are many, a few might be caught in a single day. When there are few, not even one might be caught in several days."

Jiang Lan nodded, then asked again:

"And after they're caught? How are they usually dealt with?"

Cui Yushan replied:

"The Law Enforcement Hall has an interrogation room, but most cases are settled and the demons are killed on the spot; those needing to be imprisoned are very few."

"Alright then, from now on, if there are any demons to be executed, I will handle all of them."

Cui Yushan was stunned upon hearing this.

What kind of Hobbies does his esteemed self have?

However, he didn't think too much about it.

Jiang Lan was his direct superior, so whatever Jiang Lan said, it would be done.

The strict Rank system was not just talk.

Jiang Lan continued:

"Tell me again, how many people are currently working in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"Yes," Cui Yushan said, "Currently, there are sixty-three members in the Law Enforcement Hall. Among them, I am the chief clerk, there are two registrars, two constables, and the rest are ordinary members of the hall. Including your esteemed self, there are now a total of sixty-four people in the Law Enforcement Hall."

The two registrars and two constables should be the four Jiang Lan saw sitting at the small table earlier.

Having a general understanding of the Law Enforcement Hall's structure, Jiang Lan continued:

"This place is called the Law Enforcement Hall, but there are no laws to follow, so what law are we enforcing?"

Cui Yushan smiled.

"Naturally, it is your esteemed self's law. Our Luan Yao Alliance controls the entire Luan Mo Region, and the Law Enforcement Hall is one of the most powerful halls. Naturally, your esteemed self can enforce the law however you wish."

Goodness.

This power is boundless.

If Cui Yushan's words were rephrased, wouldn't it mean he could kill anyone he wanted?

Such a position was given to him, a newcomer to the Luan Yao Alliance?

Logically, the position of Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, even if it might be dangerous, would surely attract countless people.

Even demons, surely, pursue power.

Unexpectedly, it ended up falling to him.

Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.

From the moment he arrived in this Luan Mo Region, the things he encountered had a peculiar air about them.

At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but as soon as he thought about it carefully, everything felt a bit off.

Although this could be interpreted as the demon world having its own operating logic, Jiang Lan instinctively felt there was a problem.

It wasn't that someone was trying to trick him.

It was just a strange, almost grotesque feeling.

Moreover, the Alliance Master of the Luan Yao Alliance also seemed to be unusual.

Clearly a demon, yet his conduct and style were no different from humans.

Even the architectural style of this place seemed to have been directly copied from the human world.

Suddenly, Jiang Lan looked at Cui Yushan, narrowing his eyes as he asked:

"Tell me, can I trust you?"

Cui Yushan was startled and immediately knelt on the ground.

"This humble one is absolutely loyal to the Luan Yao Alliance and to you, Hall Master!"

Jiang Lan smiled upon hearing this.

Such words are just for listening.

Whether Cui Yushan was loyal or not was not important to him.

What Jiang Lan wanted was just an attitude.

This way, he could properly ask his questions.

"Alright, get up."

Cui Yushan, as if granted a great pardon, stood up from the ground.

"How long have you been in this Luan Mo Region?"

"Reporting to your esteemed self, it has been over two hundred years."

Over two hundred years?

Jiang Lan was a bit surprised; this was quite a long time.

But it was perfect, since he had lived here long enough, many of his questions should be answered by Cui Yushan.

"Was this Luan Mo Region always like this from the beginning?"

"No, it wasn't." Cui Yushan shook his head. "Initially, this place wasn't called the Luan Mo Region; it was called Hun Tian City. However, the laws within the original Hun Tian City were not perfect, attracting many demons who had committed crimes outside. Over time, this place was renamed the Luan Mo Region."

Cui Yushan continued:

"Because too many demons came, the original Hun Tian City couldn't accommodate them, so they simply tore down the city walls and built residential areas."

What Cui Yushan said aligned with what Wang Erniu had told him earlier in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

However, what Jiang Lan wanted to understand was not these things.

His previous questions were just a lead-in.

"Earlier, when I was outside the city, I saw that this place is divided into four areas. The further out you go, the more dilapidated it is, and the closer to the center, the more luxurious it becomes. Was this also formed at the beginning of the Luan Mo Region's establishment?"

"Yes, because there were no laws, the more powerful demons naturally wanted to live in better places. So, at the beginning of the Luan Mo Region's establishment, countless bloody incidents occurred."

"After much killing, everyone realized this wasn't a solution, so a set of unwritten rules was formed. The more powerful one was, the better their dwelling, and the closer their location to the center of the Luan Mo Region."

"However, the initial buildings were very simple. It was only after the Alliance Master arrived that the Luan Mo Region developed to its current state."
