Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 92 Apology
Li Fan looked towards the battlefield, holding a sharp sword with murderous intent in his eyes.

The collusion between humans and demons is far deeper than he imagined, and what happened in Lin'an County is by no means an isolated case.

Just as the old blind man said, the entire Dali Dynasty was corrupt, from top to bottom.

Humans and demons should be natural enemies.

When the toad monster saw that Li Fan was not dead yet, and that the snake monster in front of him was also extremely difficult to deal with and he couldn't take it down, the toad monster knew that the game was over.

It suddenly spewed out a puff of poisonous mist, then turned around and jumped into the air, trying to escape from the battlefield. After all, Chuzhou City was the territory of human practitioners, and they could not kill them with one blow, so they could only retreat.

Xiao Yuntian also shouted loudly, and bumped palms with Cui Zhanfeng, then said, "Let's go."

It was impossible to do anything. He had already lost the chance to kill Li Fan. If he stayed here, he would only die faster.

Liu Ji wanted to chase and kill the toad monster, but she saw a beam of light in the distance illuminating the darkness. The light contained the sound of thunder and went straight towards the toad monster.

The toad monster was horrified, and fear appeared in his eyes.

"Boom..." The terrifying light of thunder cut through the darkness and pierced the toad monster's body in an instant. It was a thunder spear, and after piercing the toad monster's body, the lightning dissipated.

But the toad monster's body was still exploding, and it was full of thunder. A burning smell came from its huge body.

In the darkness in the distance, a burly figure was walking in the air, with thunder light shining on his body. Wherever he passed, it was as bright as day, and his golden figure illuminated the night sky.

"So powerful, who is that?" The crowd on the street looked up at the figure stepping into the air and were shocked. There was such a powerful person in Chuzhou City, but they didn't even know who he was.

"You are looking for death." The figure walked straight towards Xiao Yuntian. Xiao Yuntian and the people from Wanxiang Sect looked pale. They did not recognize the approaching figure for a moment.

Cui Lengzhou had been imprisoned for twenty years, and both his age and temperament had changed dramatically.

Twenty years is enough time to forget a person, not to mention that the Wanxiang Sect was not that familiar with Cui Lengzhou.

Cui Lengzhou stepped in front of Xiao Yuntian and thrust the spear in his hand straight out. How could Xiao Yuntian block it? The spear pierced through his body and nailed him to death.

The other members of the Wanxiang Sect were horrified and wanted to flee, but they heard Cui Lengzhou shout coldly: "Whoever dares to take another step will be killed."

His voice was like thunder, and as soon as he finished speaking, lightning burst into the air. Suddenly, the faces of the people from the Wanxiang Sect turned pale, and they all stopped and dared not move.

Cui Zhanfeng and others cleared out and eliminated the surrounding demons, and left a few alive for questioning.

In a blink of an eye, the fight was cleared and the fighting subsided.

Chen Yan, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the situation here and retreated quietly.

When did the Cui family get together with Li Fan?
The crowd that had dispersed from the street gathered again, looking towards the battlefield and talking a lot.

"Head of the family." The Cui family shouted, shocking many people.

The head of the Cui family has changed?
"senior."

Li Fan walked forward and called out. Cui Lengzhou said, "It's so dangerous, why don't you stay at Cui's house?"

Li Fan didn't care and said, "If they are not outside, how can we make them jump out?"

"That's fine." Cui Lengzhou said, "But I don't like your address as senior. When can I call you grandpa?"

Li Fan: "..."

"Don't worry, feelings can be cultivated slowly." Cui Lengzhou said, and then stepped towards the people from Wanxiang Sect. Cui Zhanfeng and his men had already captured all of them.

Li Fan also walked over and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"We all obey the orders of the sect leader." said the people from the Wanxiang Sect.

"Who asked your sect leader to come?" Li Fan asked again.

"I don't know."

Li Fan's sword slashed across, directly slitting the man's throat, and looked at the other man and asked, "Who?"

"We really don't know. We only know that our family members were threatened. The leader must have no other way to go, so he came here." The man saw the miserable state of the people next to him and said in panic, "We have no choice. Please let us go, young man."

"Kill them all." Before Li Fan could say anything, Cui Lengzhou beside him said coldly. He was worried that Li Fan was too soft-hearted because of his young age.

Cui Zhanfeng and others followed the order and killed all the people from the Wanxiang Sect.

When the crowd in the distance saw this scene, they realized that the Wanxiang Sect was going to be removed from Chuzhou.

Cui Lengzhou walked towards the captured demons, and at this moment, a sound of breaking air came from the distance. He looked up and saw many figures flying in the air from different directions, wearing the same clothes.

"Demon Slayer Division."

Cui Lengzhou frowned, he came at the perfect time.

"The commander of the Demon Slaying Division, Jiang Xinghan." Many people looked at the middle-aged man in the lead. He was the new commander of the Demon Slaying Division. His predecessor and the prefect of Chuzhou died in the battle of Lishan and never came back.

A demon appeared in Chuzhou City, and it was a big demon, attacking and killing people at night. This was already a major event. It was not surprising at all that the commander of the Demon Slaying Division appeared.

Li Fan looked up at the approaching figures, wondering if Deputy Commander Sun was among the crowd?

"Who are you?" Jiang Xinghan looked at Cui Lengzhou and asked.

"Cui Lengzhou."

Jiang Xinghan's eyes showed surprise. Cui Lengzhou, he had heard of this name. He was a famous person twenty years ago. In fact, he was his predecessor.

However, he is still alive and has entered the fifth realm.

"Thank you Cui family for killing the demons. The Wanxiang Sect is colluding with the demons. I have ordered the Demon Killing Bureau to go to the Wanxiang Sect. I will bring back the demons here and deal with them." Jiang Xinghan said.

"No need, we will handle it ourselves." Cui Lengzhou responded indifferently. He stared at a demon and asked, "Who is behind this?"

It was a wolf demon, with a wolf head and a human body, sharp fangs, staring at Cui Lengzhou.

Cui Lengzhou placed his palm directly on the other's head and squeezed it hard. Suddenly, the demon's head exploded and blood splattered. Cui Lengzhou walked towards a demon next to him and asked, "You answer."

"Is Mr. Cui overstepping his authority?" Jiang Xinghan asked.

"Shut up." Cui Lengzhou said coldly without even looking up: "A demon has sneaked into Chuzhou City and is committing crimes in the streets. As the commander of the Demon Slaying Division, if you have any shame, you should commit suicide to apologize."

The aristocratic families have great power in the local area and they don’t care that much about the local government.

As long as they don't commit serious crimes, the court will not do anything to them.

Even many of the aristocratic families in various places have close ties with local governments and complex interests.

Especially in times of great chaos, the imperial court's deterrent power was weaker, and the government even had to rely on aristocratic families.

Jiang Xinghan looked embarrassed. Cui Lengzhou didn't give the Demon Slaying Division any face at all.

However, Cui Lengzhou didn't get to know anything about these monsters.

Colluding with demons is a serious crime, and it seems that the other party is on very tight defense.

"Clean up." Jiang Hanxing ordered, but Liu Ji was faster than them and took the demon pill from the demon.

Jiang Xinghan stared at Liu Ji, then glanced at Li Fan, but ultimately said nothing.

He already knew Li Fan's identity and didn't want to get involved in this mess.

The prefect had also learned the news, but he actually didn't want to come. The relationship between the court and Lishan was delicate, and since that battle, neither side had taken any other actions.

But everyone knows that the imperial court and Lishan are already standing on absolute opposite sides.

As the commander of the Chuzhou Demon Slaying Division, he cannot make the decision.

After Liu Ji took the demon pill, Jiang Xinghan ordered people to take away the demon's body and clean up all the people from the Wanxiang Sect who were killed.

This surprised the crowd watching from a distance.

The Demon Slaying Division, why does it seem like they are just doing odd jobs?

Something isn't right about this.

They looked at Li Fan again. What was the identity of that young man?
He seemed to be a sword cultivator with extremely strong combat ability. This turmoil seemed to be centered around that young man. Xiao Yuntian and the demons were all here for him.

"Senior, will this bring trouble to the Cui family?" Li Fan asked Cui Lengzhou.

"My Cui family has not rebelled against the court, so what trouble can there be?" Cui Lengzhou said indifferently. A real man knows how to repay a favor. If Li Fan had not brought his granddaughter into the Cui family and let him have no worries, the outcome of that time might have been different.

Li Fan nodded, looked at Cui Zhanfeng and asked, "Is there a deputy commander named Sun in Chuzhou City? Was he there before?"

"Yes, Sun Qian, he is not here." Cui Zhanfeng responded.

Li Fan looked thoughtful. There were two attacks in one day, but the mastermind behind them had not been exposed yet. However, the direction could be roughly locked down.

The group turned around and left, returning to the inn.

The crowd around did not disperse, but even gathered more and more, talking a lot.

Among them, most people were guessing Li Fan's identity.

…………

Early in the morning of the second day, a group of people came to the inn where Li Fan was staying.

Because of yesterday's incident, many people are still paying attention here today, and they were all surprised when they saw the person coming.

The Song family has arrived.

Last night, Song Changming from the Song family died outside the inn, also because of the mysterious young man.

It seems that there is something exciting to watch, and the Song family comes to demand punishment.

The people from the Song family walked into the inn, and people from afar came over here one after another, as if they were afraid that the situation was not big enough.

Many people in the hall looked at the Song family, wondering if they should avoid them. If a war had not broken out, they would not have been affected.

"Where did the young hero Li live yesterday?" Just when everyone thought there would be a big battle, the head of the Song family asked the waiter in the lobby, leaving everyone stunned.

Young man? ?
"What's the matter?" Cui Zhanfeng and Liu Ji appeared.

"Excuse me for informing you that the Song family is here to apologize for what happened yesterday. Song Changming is a playboy and we are sorry for any offense we have caused. We hope Mr. Cui and Young Master Li will forgive us." The man from the Song family bowed and put himself in a very humble manner.

Now is a time of turmoil, and the Song family does not want to be involved in it.

As for the affairs of Lishan and the imperial court, they'd better stay away from them. Although they don't know what Li Fan's status in Lishan is, they can guess from the attitudes of various forces that it is definitely not bad.

In this situation, the Song family would rather lose some face than not to ensure peace.

It would be best if the great swordsman from Lishan came. Then, Chuzhou would lose a few forces, and the Song family would just have to watch.

"Come with me, just you." Liu Ji said.

"Okay." The man saluted and then followed Liu Ji to their residence in the backyard of the inn.

The people around were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they started talking about it.

A member of the Song family was killed, and someone from the Song family came to apologize?
When did the Song family in Chuzhou City become so easy to talk to?

Just when everyone was puzzled, two pieces of news spread rapidly.

First, an internal conflict broke out in the Cui family, and the head of the Cui family, Cui Mu, was killed by Cui Lengzhou, whom he had imprisoned for twenty years. Cui Lengzhou took his place as the helmsman of the Cui family.

Second, after leaving the mountain, some disciples arrived in Chuzhou City.
