Chapter 40: Immortal Master, Please Strengthen My Demon Suppression Division

Chapter 40: Fairy, Please Strengthen My Demon Suppression Division!

Demon Suppression Division headquarters.

The tragic state of the Young Master Zhou Yi was laid bare before everyone.

The scene was eerily silent.

Countless gazes converged on Jiang Li, filled with a sense of relief, excitement, anticipation, and worry.

The Young Commandant also stared at Jiang Li, his mouth dry.

Then.

He seemed to remember something, his expression subtly changing as he searched for the two family servants who had been with Zhou Yi.

The death of the Zhou Family’s Young Master at the Demon Suppression Division’s entrance would have too great an impact. These two servants had to be detained to prevent the Zhou Family from receiving the news immediately and to buy the Demon Suppression Division time to react.

Bang.

Two more crisp sounds rang out.

The Young Commandant looked over. A peerless beauty, dressed in a black and white flowing cloud robe, stood gracefully, her eyes as clear as a cold pool, a few strands of hair fluttering around her forehead, like a Fairy descending to the mortal world.

The Fairy held her sword sheath, her jade-white fingertips lightly tapping the sword hilt. A cold flash of light, and she instantly killed the two servants who had slipped more than ten meters away.

She then returned to Jiang Li’s side.

Her cool, clear voice remained the same, but with a hint of softness.

“Go do what you want to do; I’ll clean up.”

Li Xi’s small face puffed up, her willow-like brows furrowing into a big wave: “This Zhou Family is going too far, Jiang Li. Go all out; I’ll provide you with magical power support.”

Jiang Li: They are so cool and considerate; I’m practically crying.

The Young Commandant watched, relieved.

He finally understood.

The black-robed young man who kicked the Zhou Family’s Young Master to death, the clear Fairy, and the sweet female Cultivator were all together.

The trio’s temperament and appearance were out of place in Qinghe County, and their Cultivation levels were far above his own.

These were Prodigy Cultivators only found in renowned righteous sects.

“Thank you three. You have saved my Demon Suppression Division from losing its last shred of dignity. However, this Zhou Family Young Master is one of the Zhou Family’s Twin Stars. Since you have killed him, the Zhou Family will surely be enraged. Before the Zhou Family can react, please leave quickly. The Demon Suppression Division can only hold them off for a short while.”

The Young Commandant cupped his hands, his expression filled with bitterness.

The side that eliminates harm for the people is forced to flee in a hurry; what a joke.

But in Qinghe County, this was an undeniable fact.

Jiang Li listened, secretly clicking his tongue.

Murong Qing’s previous words had indeed been confirmed; the situation in Qinghe County was no longer under the control of the Demon Suppression Division.

This county, nominally governed by the Demon Suppression Division, was in reality controlled by the Zhou Family.

【The Cultivation Technique “Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill” is enraged. Should I avoid his sharp edge? Bring me my blade! These damned rebellious traitors must be executed.】

【You have triggered a dialogue. Please enter a kingly dialogue content —】

Jiang Li found it a bit strange.

A kingly dialogue; this was the first time he had seen a Cultivation Technique specify the dialogue content.

Was it afraid he would say something that would lower his prestige?

Damn.

If he casually uttered, “I am the Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress and kill all enemies in the world,” this Body Refining Cultivation Technique would surely go crazy.

Jiang Li secretly grumbled.

After some thought.

He typed, and his body, controlled by the Cultivation Technique, simultaneously spoke: “Are you willing to accept this?”

The Young Commandant looked up, then quickly lowered his gaze.

“Qinghe County has long ceased to be under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Division. General Pioneer is still confined to his bed, and the other Commandants each have their own troubles. Only I remain to guard the headquarters. The current Zhou Family is no longer something we can suppress.”

“Are you willing to accept this?”

Jiang Li repeated.

“No, I am not.”

The Young Commandant clenched the hilt of his blade tightly, his eyes red.

“In the past five years, the Zhou Family has committed three thousand one hundred cases, with countless missing commoners. Recently, it has even escalated to abducting infants and children. How can the Demon Suppression Division be willing to accept this?”

“Then what are you waiting for?”

The Young Commandant was stunned, his dim expression slowly brightening.

He seemed to understand Jiang Li’s meaning: these three Prodigies from a major sect had come today precisely for the Zhou Family.

The next second.

He made a decision that went against his ancestors.

The Young Commandant knelt on one knee.

His weathered face subtly revealed a hint of madness and ferocity. He seemed to grasp at a final straw, and his low roar suddenly rang out.

“Fairy, please strengthen my Demon Suppression Division!”

Bang, bang, bang.

At the Demon Suppression Division headquarters, the young soldiers also knelt down in a large group. They were all only in their twenties or thirties, an age of high spirits, yet their eyes were exceptionally fierce at this moment.

“Sir Fairy, please strengthen my Demon Suppression Division!”

The uniform, deep voices echoed throughout Qinghe County.

Jiang Li: …

It wasn’t that serious.

His original intention was simply to have the Demon Suppression Division also contribute their efforts.

After all.

The Zhou Family was powerful, and there were only three of them. Even with the strength of two fists against four hands, it would be impossible to completely slaughter them.

At this time, the Demon Suppression Division could play a role in clearing out the remaining forces.

However…

He didn’t know if it was because his body, controlled by the Cultivation Technique “Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill,” inherently possessed an Imperial aura, but it actually caused this Demon Suppression Division Commandant to bow in submission.

Damn it, this Body Refining Cultivation Technique won’t really rebel in the future, will it?

Jiang Li thought to himself.

On the surface, however, he maintained a calm and indifferent expression.

“Surround the Zhou Family. Not even a fly is allowed to escape.”

Upon hearing this.

Li Xi covered her small mouth, her bright eyes blinking wildly, as if stars were shining within them: “Jiang Li, he’s so handsome.”

Murong Qing said nothing, her long eyelashes obscuring her gaze… He was indeed quite handsome.

The Young Commandant gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist, his hands trembling with excitement. The accumulated resentment of many years completely erupted at this moment.

“Yes!”

He took out his Commandant token.

Like a wounded beast organizing a counterattack, he roared: “Pass on my order: apart from those stationed in the county city, all other soldiers, centurions, captains, commanders, and Commandants, get moving! Surround the Zhou Family!”

“Yes.”

All the soldiers moved.

They scrambled to run.

Spreading the order throughout Qinghe County.

For a time.

The entire Qinghe County was mobilized.

Soldiers wearing fish-Dragon robes and carrying long blades at their waists moved through the streets, converging from all directions, their destination only one place: the Zhou Family.

Those who were unaware quietly asked: “What is the Demon Suppression Division doing?”

“By order of the Fairy, to encircle and suppress the Zhou Family.”

Centurions, captains, commanders, and even Commandants were all responding to this order.

With fish-Dragon robes draped over them and blades of fate at their waists, this was the Demon Suppression Division’s most resolute stance.

Wherever they went, their figures were stretched long.

Like reapers of souls.

Pedestrians on the streets had all retreated to their homes, every household tightly shut, peering through door cracks at everything unfolding.

To encircle and suppress the Zhou Family, could the current Demon Suppression Division truly achieve it?

And who gave the Demon Suppression Division such confidence?

…

How efficient is a fully operating Imperial Dynasty institution? Jiang Li witnessed it today.

At dusk.

In less than two hours.

A total of over a thousand Demon Suppression Division soldiers had gathered.

Surrounding the vast Zhou Estate so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

The Zhou Family’s main gate was wide open.

Inside, there was chaos.

Zhou Family members continuously emerged, their faces filled with shock and anger, staring intently at the Demon Suppression Division soldiers at the entrance.

From that moment on, the Zhou Family had become a forbidden zone.

Only entry, no exit.

No matter which corner a head poked out from, there was a grim-faced soldier on guard, his snow-white silver blade glinting coldly in the twilight.

Filled with a chilling aura of death.

Soon.

An esteemed elder of the Zhou Family, having received the order, emerged.

His walking stick heavily struck the ground.

The surging Qi Refining Peak aura burst forth, sweeping in all directions.

“Are you Demon Suppression Division members insane? My Zhou Family is willing to give you some face, but you are the true masters of Qinghe County. Otherwise, you are just a bunch of dogs in official uniforms.”

The Young Commandant stood at the very front.

He used the black blade in his hand as his response.

“By order of the Fairy, to encircle and suppress the Zhou Family.”

As he spoke.

All thousand-plus Demon Suppression Division soldiers drew their long blades.

Pointing their blades at the Zhou Estate.

A murderous aura permeated the air.

“Good, very good. Even imperial dogs without Foundation Establishment Cultivators dare to speak so arrogantly in my Zhou Family. I’d like to see what kind of rogue Fairy gave you such confidence.”

The elder was furious.

A large group of Zhou Family members were also fully armed.

Emerging in a continuous stream.

Every single one possessed Cultivation.

The weakest had at least Qi Refining Third Layer Cultivation, while the strongest had already reached Qi Refining Peak.

These Zhou Family members had malevolent eyes, and some even had deep crimson in their pupils, as if they hadn’t had time to conceal it, revealing a Demonic Path aura.

Just then.

A corpse was flung into the Zhou Family’s main gate.

The three-meter-thick wooden gate shattered with a “bang,” and the corpse fell at the entrance, disfigured and gruesome, but still faintly discernible as the Zhou Family’s Young Master, Zhou Yi.

“Are you looking for us?”

As the voice sounded.

The Demon Suppression Division soldiers parted to both sides, creating a path.

Jiang Li walked forward, his black robes swaying.
