Chapter 134 Misunderstanding resolved, living door

Baihua County, a prosperous commercial district in Phnom Penh.

boom!
The door of a gambling house was violently pushed open from the inside, and two young men in brocade robes fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could even stand up, more than a dozen thugs armed with sticks rushed out of the gambling house.

A heavy blow to the head.

After finally getting up from the ground, his vision went dark and he collapsed to the ground.

The remaining thugs still felt unsatisfied and continued to beat and kick.

The two screamed and wailed.

Soon, a large crowd of people gathered on the street to watch.

Despite such a cruel scene, the onlookers applauded and some even rushed forward and kicked the man hard twice.

"These bastards from the Pang family took advantage of their power to bully others and caused my family to be destroyed. They deserve this fate."

"It feels so good. It feels so good!"

"..."

"I saw him build a tall building, and I saw it collapse." In the dark and deep alley not far away, two tall figures were also watching the scene.

One of the middle-aged men in Confucian robes said softly.

"Things in this world are unpredictable." Another bald figure also looked on indifferently.

But the tightly clenched fists in his sleeves revealed his thoughts, and he was not as calm as his face showed.

These two people are the two fish that escaped the net among the aristocratic families.

The man in Confucian robes is named Wei Hong, the head of the Wei family.

The other bald man is called Pang Chong, the head of the Pang family.

The two young men who were being beaten violently were a branch of his family.

"Fortunately, our cooperation with Corpse Mountain is still continuing, and we still have the possibility of turning the tables." Wei Hong retracted his gaze and whispered.

"A mountain of corpses—"

Pang Chong's face turned cold when he thought of the powerful strength displayed by Su Heng.

I felt a chill in my heart.

"The combat power of the Death-level Lords in the mortal world is not only related to their own strength, but also requires a strong enough incarnation to carry it." Pang Chong said seriously, "Have you found this incarnation?"

"Of course!" Wei Hong smiled slightly, his face full of confidence, "This is something that even that monster can never defeat."

Hearing this, Pang Chong was shocked.

But he knew that Wei Hong never spoke nonsense.

Since the words have been put directly here, then there must be certainty.

"Who!?" Pang Chong widened his eyes and asked anxiously.

Wei Hong didn't keep anyone in suspense. "The predecessor of the Demon Suppression Division, Li Daoxuan's master. He once suppressed Baihua County for more than a hundred years, built the Demon Suppression Tower, and made the noble families and demons breathless. He was an unparalleled warrior - Shen Zheng!"

"Shen Zheng!?" Pang Chong was shocked. "How is it possible? Isn't he missing?"

"Missing?" Wei Hong sneered, "Do you think that in such a huge Jiangzhou, apart from the Death-level Lord of the Corpse Mountain and Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, who else could make him suddenly disappear?"

"No wonder, no wonder...so that's it!" Pang Chong nodded repeatedly.

The more deeply you think about it, the more details emerge in your mind, eventually weaving into a web.

"The strength of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation is beyond our imagination." Wei Hong also had a solemn expression on his face. "I don't want to kowtow in front of the demons unless it is absolutely necessary. But this is the general trend. Either follow the torrent or be crushed to pieces."

"Su Heng..."

"This person seems to be in great splendour, but he is actually going against the tide of the times."

A cold light flashed in Wei Hong's eyes, and he shook his head. "The current Shen Zheng will be the future Su Heng. His fate will be to have his consciousness wiped out and be used as a puppet of the Great Lord, or even to be killed and destroyed by his own hands, everything he wants to protect."

……

……

……

In a remote forest outside Baihua County.

A big hand tightly grasped Zhao Meiying's throat, chin, and the lower half of her face, leaving only a pair of black and white eyes exposed. At this moment, these eyes were trembling, flashing a frightened and soft expression like a frightened deer.

He was subdued by Su Heng in an instant and suffered a heavy blow, so his brain went blank.

Only now did Zhao Meiying slowly come back to her senses.

She was forced to look up.

Su Heng's big face in front of her almost occupied all of Zhao Meiying's sight, and behind the messy hair, the sky that was sunny and clear just now was suddenly overcast for some reason. A gust of cold wind blew, the treetops rustled, and the large fallen leaves under their feet were rolled up.

Click!

A slight but noticeable sound was heard.

The sound came from his overwhelmed spine and jaw, and he felt a sharp, stabbing pain from them.

Zhao Meiying swore that she never wanted to hear the same voice a second time in her life.

She struggled violently.

Both hands patted Su Heng's strong arms vigorously.

The big hand that was strangling my throat finally loosened a little. Although breathing was still very difficult, my lungs could at least get some fresh air to nourish them.

"Ahem!" Zhao Meiying coughed twice and said in pain, "I'm not your enemy!"

"You are not my enemy?" Su Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "Then who are you? You are definitely not my friend."

"I am from the Demon Suppression Army..."

Zhao Meiying took two breaths and told her background and mission in detail.

Su Heng frowned slightly and asked a few confidential questions. Zhao Meiying was able to answer all of them.

Some of these things were even more comprehensive and detailed than what Su Heng knew.

After a conversation, Su Heng gradually believed it. He let go of her hand, and Zhao Meiying fell lightly to the ground.

Her legs went limp.

Leaning against the irregularly broken tree stump behind him, he breathed in big gulps of fresh air.

"Since you have completed the task assigned by the military commander, you can leave now." Su Heng said coldly, "Also, when you go back, remember to tell him a message for me."

"What?" Zhao Meiying raised her head.

"Baihua County is my territory. I can tolerate the same thing happening for the first time, but I don't want it to happen a second time."

"I understand." Zhao Meiying lowered her head, "This won't happen again."

"That's good. I don't want the scene to be too ugly." Su Heng nodded.

"I came here for another matter." Zhao Meiying slowly stood up and looked at Su Heng with a complicated expression. "This matter is not official business, but my own private matter. It is related to the last previous Dusi of Baihua County Demon Suppression Division."

"Shen Zheng?"

"Yeah." Zhao Meiying nodded.

"Shen Zheng is my senior brother. I have been looking for clues all these years since he disappeared." Zhao Meiying clenched her fists and said seriously, "Until now, I finally found some useful information. His disappearance is likely related to the Ten Thousand Demons Country."

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons..." Su Heng touched his chin and raised his head.

Boom!

Dark clouds rolled in the sky and a loud thunderclap was heard.

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye they merged into one, bathing the entire forest in gray mist.

Although it is midsummer now, the weather is changeable, which is normal.

But the rain was so heavy in the blink of an eye, coupled with what the Red Flame Demon King had said before.

Su Heng vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"You are really restless." Su Heng said, "So, you can be considered as Li Daoxuan's uncle."

Hearing that the other party had such a relationship with Shen Zheng, Su Heng's gaze towards Zhao Meiying softened a little.

"This isn't a good place to talk." He said, "Come back to the Demon Suppression Division with me first."

"Okay." Zhao Meiying nodded and agreed.

……

……

……

The square in the inner city of Baihua County.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower that originally stood here was repaired and transformed into Su Heng's office after the earth vein array became ineffective.

Rumble!
Su Heng brought Zhao Meiying back from outside.

Reaching out and touching the mechanism, the door slowly opened with a friction sound.

Zhao Meiying stopped, looked up, and looked at the bright red human pig hanging on the door frame. Her eyelids twitched violently.

If only that were the case.

It wouldn't be enough to scare a veteran demon-suppressing soldier like Zhao Meiying who has experienced many battles.

But what really horrified her was that this "person" was still alive after being tortured like this.

"This person..." Zhao Meiying's face showed some hesitation.

"What's wrong? Do you think there is any problem?" Su Heng stopped and looked back at her.

“No, nothing!” Zhao Meiying forced a smile and laughed, “The design of the gate of your Demon Suppression Division is… quite unique.”

"Thank you for the compliment." Su Heng nodded and strode forward.

One of the advantages of the Demon Suppression Tower is that the floors inside are very high and the rooms are designed to be very large. Even though Su Heng has grown to his current size, he can walk in the familiar and wide corridors of the Demon Suppression Tower without feeling any cramped or uncomfortable feeling.

"Who is this person and what mistake did he make?" Zhao Meiying trotted beside Su Heng, still unable to hide her curiosity and asked.

"Murong Hanshuang."

"The adopted son of Li Daoxuan?"

"Well, this guy is a traitor." Su Heng briefly recounted what had happened before.

"So that's how it is. He deserves to end up like this." Zhao Meiying nodded, and the sympathy on her face was gone.

All the way to his study on the fifth floor.

Quite a few people have gathered here, including Zhao Jinling, Li Hongxiu, Wang Xinlong and others.

Seeing Su Heng's burly figure pushing the door open and walking in, everyone stood up and bowed to Su Heng solemnly, "Greetings, Commander."

They also noticed Zhao Meiying who was walking with Su Heng.

I don’t know the others.

But Wang Xinlong was an old man in the Demon Suppression Division, and the two had met before.

"General Zhao!" Wang Xinlong asked in surprise, "Why do you look a little embarrassed?"

"This... is a long story."

Zhao Meiying looked up and saw Su Heng sitting down on the large bronze chair at the end of the room, crossing his legs. Li Hongxiu beside him handed him a cup of tea at the right time.

Su Heng reached out to take it, took a sip, and then put it down again.

"Since everyone is here, it's just right. Give me a summary of the information you have collected during this period."

Su Heng's voice was calm, but his burly figure and the powerful aura he exuded made everyone tremble slightly.
