Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 225 Disaster
The clerk calmly said, "Commander Liu, please don't be in a hurry."

"The imperial city issued an order overnight, sending a new commander."

"It's not just a joyous occasion, it's a double celebration!"

He stepped forward, picked up the imperial edict, and said, "The Demon Slaying Division of Zhenhai Prefecture still has a deficit of 30,000 taels of gold that has not yet been covered."

"With the arrival of the new commander, we can disguise ourselves and pin the deficit on him, which will solve a big problem."

The registrar revealed a sinister smile.

"Furthermore, Commander Liu is a member of the imperial family. Now that he has been transferred without cause and ordered to go to the capital, he will surely be promoted. This is another happy event."

"Wouldn't that be a double celebration?"

Hear this.

Liu Ji's expression was uncertain, and he remained silent.

Below him, the other two deputy commanders remained silent, their eyes fixed on their noses and their minds blank.

One of them looked at the registrar with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, his expression full of disdain.

While talking.

Outside the main hall, a demon-slaying guard rushed in to report: "Commander, someone from the sky is coming!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group all changed.

Clearly, no one expected the new commander to arrive so quickly.

Liu Ji turned to the chief clerk and asked, "Are there any loopholes in the accounts?"

The clerk quickly replied, "I made two copies of every expenditure of the government office to ensure that it is flawless."

Liu Ji nodded, flicked his sleeves, and strode outside: "Let's go, follow me outside to welcome the new commander."

The others, with varying expressions, followed suit.

Demon Slayer Bureau, Sea Patrol Platform.

This is the largest square in the Sifu government office.

It is also the place where the three hundred demon-slaying guards train and cultivate on a daily basis.

Liu Ji led the way, followed by a large number of demon-slaying guards.

On the patrol platform, everyone looked up at the dark phoenix descending from the sky.

Saw this scene.

The expressions of the chief clerk and his colleagues were no longer as composed as before, but instead became fearful and uneasy.

"This new commander-in-chief is actually a chosen one."

Behind Liu Ji, the chief clerk secretly groaned.

The Chosen One is too easy to recognize.

Although Jiang Jian was here, he was wearing a moon-white robe, which was clearly a Zhou dynasty garment.

However, its every move still reveals a sense of incompatibility with the local creatures.

The dragon sparrow let out a soft cry and landed.

Its wings spread out, and its body suddenly collapsed, turning into countless streams of dark light that intertwined and dissipated beneath Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian remained calm and took a step forward, already appearing on the patrol platform.

"Your Excellency, I did not know you had arrived so quickly. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

With a broad smile, Liu Ji stepped forward, his movements extremely enthusiastic. He grabbed Jiang Jian's sleeve and led him toward the lobby.

Jiang frowned slightly, flicked his sleeve, and asked, "Where is Liu Ji of the Demon-Slaying Division of Zhenhai Prefecture?"

Hear the words.

Liu Ji took a half step back, his expression solemn, and said, "Lord Holy Selection, I am Liu Ji, the Commander of the Demon Slaying Division."

Jiang Jian nodded and looked at the people in front of him.

Commander-in-Chief Liu Ji, two deputy commanders, a chief clerk, and two commanders of thousands.

These people are all at the Yongquan Realm.

Enveloped by the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, their cultivation foundation was not low.

However, their actual combat effectiveness was far from ideal.

about this point.

Jiang Jian had already witnessed this at the Dragon Palace in the Sea.

The Demon Slayer's Hall was exquisitely decorated.

Stone sculptures are everywhere, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.

"Liu Ji, bring me the official seal."

Jiang Jian entered the hall first, and without any hesitation, he flicked his sleeves and sat down in the head seat.

Liu Ji was stunned. Here, he was practically a local tyrant.

Arrogant and domineering, capable of anything.

It's been a long time since I've heard anyone talk to me like that.

but.

The next second, Liu Ji realized what was happening.

The person before me is not an ordinary nobleman, but an inviolable "chosen one".

"Yes!"

Liu Ji's mouth moved faster than his heart; in the midst of his turmoil, he had already handed over the official seal.

If it is someone who comes, they are not the "chosen ones".

Liu Ji is very likely to follow the method of the chief clerk.

But at this moment, this "chosen one" is domineering and powerful, completely in control.

This even prevented Liu Ji from having the slightest thought of resistance.

Jiang took the official seal and examined it carefully.

The official seal contains detailed records of the duties of the Demon Slayer Division.

Furthermore, it clearly explained the benefits that could be obtained from holding an official position in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials were divided into nine ranks.

The official seal can be linked to the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Transform a massive amount of spiritual energy to aid cultivation!
The Commander of the State Demon-Slaying Division is a fourth-rank official position with real power.

Holding the official seal, Jiang Jian clearly realized that as long as he followed the established method, he could activate it.

In an instant, one can connect with the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty and obtain spiritual insights from it!

"This inspiration is available."

"It's 30% stronger than the current Dragon Palace!"

Be aware of this.

Jiang's eyes brightened slightly.

Cultivation is my sole purpose for coming here!
"Your Chosen One".

Liu Ji looked distressed. "There are actually still three days until the date for the handover of the official seal as stated in the imperial edict."

Jiang Jian said coldly, "Hand over the work immediately."

Liu Ji opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Below the hall.

The two deputy commanders, the chief clerk, and the two commanders all stood there, exchanging glances, unsure of what to do.

Jiang ignored them completely, instead lowering his gaze and continuing to study the official seal.

As a fourth-rank official and the Commander of the Demon Slayer Division, he was responsible for all matters related to "disasters" within the prefecture.

in short.

In Zhenhai Prefecture, all demons and monsters causing trouble within the prefecture's borders fall under the jurisdiction of the Demon Slayer Division.

As a restriction on officials, the Commander-in-Chief must lead the Demon Slaying Division to complete daily patrols in order to utilize more of the official seals and spiritual energy.

Discover this.

Jiang Jian's brows furrowed slightly without her noticing.

The official seal possesses extraordinary power, utilizing the Qi circulation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, to ensure a continuous supply, one needs to hold an official position.

"If we sweep away all the demons and monsters in the continent with the force of thunder."

"Then you can hold the official seal and cultivate in peace."

"For a long time afterward, there will be no more trouble."

Think of this.

Jiang Jian's gaze gradually turned cold.

"Immediately bring all the disaster-stricken areas in Zhenhai Prefecture."

He looked at Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was taken aback.

The deputy commander, who seemed to have been prepared, strode forward, presented a book, and said obsequiously, "Commander!"
