Hunting God Era

Chapter 134 I was ordered to cook, and I'll take the blame! (10k)

At the edge of the farmland, two groups of people were clearly divided. One group consisted of about thirty students who, like diligent old farmers, wielded sickles with incredible speed, cutting crop after crop.

However, they were very cautious. Although they seemed to be advancing quickly, upon closer inspection, they were only gradually encroaching on the edges of the farmland. Although their movements were fast, their hands were very precise, wielding their sickles before other crops could climb onto them.

Furthermore, the situations differ; those skilled in light-footed agility and quick thinking are fast-moving and quick-witted.

Those who pass through the Vajra Pass are bold and unrestrained, unafraid of demons and monsters, grabbing a handful and starting to harvest.

The Qi Meridian Gate emphasizes persistence, calmness, and patience. Although the number of strikes per sickle is small, the key is to maintain the momentum.

Po Junguan was more skilled at using his weapons. He could wield a sickle as if it were a sword, and he even had a large sickle that he used as a spear or halberd, wielding it to harvest a field of enemies.

The five senses are amazing. Some people move around in the crowd from time to time to find the best gap to break through, and some even act as commanders.

Dinghun Pass.
This is relatively rare; there's only one person.

"Go this way!"

The warriors who led the way through the Soul-Stabilizing Pass found a spot with the lowest level of pollution and immediately went inside, shouting out. Then, under the command of one of the warriors, all the warriors followed.

"Those who are going through Vajra Pass, hold the line first. Don't rush, keep your steps in unison and don't go too far! Those who are going through Pojun Pass, now go! The rest of you, follow!"

The martial artist in charge of command is named Lu Shi, a freshman at Jianghuai Longwu University. He is also one of the martial artists who came to participate in this mission. Because of his heightened senses due to the Five Senses Barrier martial arts and his high command ability, he has served as the commander three times in a row.

He was able to divide tasks and cooperate according to different martial arts skills. Different routes and functions of the entrance gates created an overwhelming force.

The other group, wearing the same school uniforms, numbered only eleven or twelve. They didn't have the same clear division of labor as the other group, but their martial arts skills were obviously stronger. They harvested the farmland they were responsible for from different directions, and their speed was not slow either.

With sheer bravery, he cut down all the crops, leaving a large empty space in the field.

"this!"

Among the larger group of martial artists, the one who was taking the Soul-Stabilizing Pass route found another less polluted crevice and was about to rush in when a blur suddenly darted past and knocked him away.

This sudden action startled everyone, and they all crowded around.

The martial artist who shoved the man aside shrugged. "I noticed it before you did."

"You're talking nonsense!"

One of Lu Shi's female students stood up, pointed at his nose, and shouted, "You, who's only at the Divine Movement stage, can be more perceptive than someone at the Soul Fixation stage? You're doing this on purpose!"

"That's unreasonable. What's wrong with Shenxing Pass?"

A haughty man stepped forward, arms crossed, and said, "We practice superior martial arts, and we'll be breaking through to higher levels in the future. With powerful martial arts, our spiritual gates will naturally be stronger as well. So, finding places with low levels of pollution is certainly possible. You must know that, right?"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized, "Oh, you're someone who came from a martial arts school and haven't been exposed to high-level martial arts, so you really wouldn't know."

"you!"

The female student's face flushed instantly. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Shi stepped forward, blocking her path, and solemnly asked, "Ji Chen, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, everyone's fighting their own battles. Your people are slower than us, so it was just a small conflict."

The arrogant student named Ji Chen sneered, "It's normal for martial artists to have minor conflicts. Haven't you experienced this in your own hometown? Oh, you're from a third-tier city. The strongest you might encounter is only at the second realm. There are few powerful martial artists, and you might not even have participated in high school martial arts competitions. It's understandable that you're not used to it for a while."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the people who had also gathered around, "If all else fails, we can hold another martial arts competition within the school. We'll settle this with a martial arts contest, and whoever has the bigger fist will be right, don't you think?"

Those people all burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"If there are many people bullying the few, that's fine too, I don't care."

The martial artist who had previously caused the accident, who was traveling along the Divine Speed ​​Pass route, laughed and said, "For someone like that, taking on five people by myself is no problem."

"Then I can take on six."

"Hahaha, I'll take it all on. I have the Eight Dragon Gates route from the Vajra Pass. They shouldn't be able to break through my defenses."

The laughter clearly showed contempt and mockery of the weak.

On the other hand, Lu Shi's side consisted of a man with a livid face, who gripped the hilt of his sickle tightly.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and said, "Ji Chen, I know you are all geniuses in breaking through the barriers. We can't beat you in martial arts competitions, but we are doing a mission now, which is to eliminate demons more efficiently, not to see who is braver."

"It's true that I practice intermediate martial arts, but I'm not a novice. Different entrances reveal different effects. None of you have the five senses or the ability to stabilize your soul, so how can you discover locations with low pollution?"

"Even if you go to the principal, you still won't be able to reason with him!"

"Reason? What reason?"

Ji Chen grinned menacingly: "You didn't listen to reason when you were training in high school, but you still listen to reason in the Demon Realm? I hate people like you who always talk about rules and reason, ignoring this and that just because there are rules."

"It's like the Demon Realm is yours to run, where you can just decide which place to take. And the strong can't discover it before the weak? Lu Shi, if you're not happy, let's have a fight now. Whoever wins gets to decide. If you had any brains, you'd agree!"

"Aren't you bullying me?!"

The previously indignant female student retorted angrily, "So what if you're on the breakthrough path? It's just because your parents gave you good talent. If I were on the breakthrough path, I wouldn't bully people like you!"

"Lu Shi, ignore them, let's go!"

She grabbed Lu Shi's clothes and tried to pull him back.

Jianghuai Longwu University is the only top-tier martial arts university in Jianghuai Province. Located in Yangcheng, its admission requirement is that one's Qi and Blood must reach the Seven Dragon Gate level to be eligible to attend.

Whether it comes from foundation-building skills or breakthrough skills, only the qi and blood are considered, not the intensity.

Sometimes, students from Chongwu are not necessarily worse than those from Dingwu. Those who practice the Breakthrough Martial Arts to the bitter end and do not want the Qi and blood of Foundation Building to taint the strength of their martial arts can also enjoy huge resources in Chongwu.

Ordinary martial artists who enter the top level of martial arts also have to compete.

For example, the current Demon Realm [River Flooding and Shady Area] is a Demon Realm site that is part of a collaboration with the school and has become a required Demon Realm site for the school in recent years.

Because it's simple and easy to manage, as long as you don't rush ahead, you can easily earn credits.

People like Lu Shi and his group, whose upper limit is at most intermediate martial arts, like this kind of Demon Realm. As long as they unite and find ways to do so, they can earn a lot of credits.

However, such places are not exclusive to them; the powerful also prefer these simple, direct, and fast-paced magical realms.

Not everyone at Martial Arts University is united; wherever there are people, there will be fighting.

Ji Chen and his group of martial artists were all on the path of breaking through to higher levels, and they looked down on people like Lu Shi.

Originally, in such a large Demon Realm, everyone could choose a region to compete for their own credits. You could use your martial arts to show your prowess, and he could use his command skills to earn credits, without interfering with each other. But some people just have to make things difficult for others.

They insist on choosing one thing specifically to annoy people, like right now.

Without the Soul-Stabilizing Gate, even if these people want to find a weak point with a low level of pollution, it will take some time. No matter which route they take to break through the gate, the direction of the entrance gate is different, so it will still be different.

This is clearly an attempt to disgust people, provoke them, and provoke them.

But Lu Shi didn't fall for it.

I don't do meaningless things.

Lu Shi was pulled by a female classmate. He took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone, "That's enough for today. Let's pack up our spoils and then go rest to avoid getting too contaminated. No matter how strong your martial arts are, it has nothing to do with whether you can withstand the contamination. It still depends on your qi and blood."

"What's there to clean up? The point hasn't even been made clear yet."

Ji Chen stopped Lu Shi and sneered, "You can't reason with me, and you're unwilling to fight. You say we're taking advantage of your weaknesses, but I say you're just looking to pick up the scraps from us, since we're stronger."

"If you leave now, I'll consider it an automatic withdrawal, and the spoils you've gained will belong to us this time."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at the female classmate, "And you, come over here and apologize to us. You're the one who talks the most. Don't think we won't hit you just because you're a woman. Martial artists don't distinguish between men and women."

"I'll fight you!"

The female student's eyes instantly turned red, and she drew her long sword from her waist, ready to rush over. Seeing this, the martial artists on the side all sprang into action, their faces filled with anger.

Meanwhile, the martial artists on Ji Chen's side showed disdain. The student who took the Vajra Pass route twisted his neck, clenched his fist, and was about to go up.

Stop!
Lu Shi then shouted, "Don't start fighting in the Demon Realm! There are demons all around! Including you, we've endured the pollution for so long, and it's almost over. If you make a move now, don't you care about the bigger picture?"

"That's just an excuse for the weak."

Ji Chen sneered:
"This mere pollution won't affect us in the slightest. Your credits are going to stay with us today. We'll keep fighting even after you leave. You keep talking about these demons having some kind of 'mass escape,' but I don't remember you getting a perfect score on general education either. What are you pretending to be so knowledgeable about? It's annoying."

Lu Shi frowned and said, "This doesn't require a perfect score in general knowledge. The demons in this Demon Realm are not inanimate objects; they are recorded. If too many of them die at once, they will automatically clump together. If they form a dense cluster, the scythe cannot cut through them."

"It doesn't matter if the task isn't completed, but the company's purpose in issuing tasks is to make money. If you turn them into dense crops, it means that the monsters in this area can only be eliminated but not harvested, and this season will be wasted. It will also affect the school."

"If you insist on doing this, I will report it to Supervisor Hu over there."

The demonic realm of 【River Flooding and Shady Area】 consists of seasonal crops. They don't grow in a specific season; rather, they are seasonal, meaning that crops and demons reappear every season.

If the harvest isn't completed within one season, it's a waste. If it creates a concentrated effect, it will require an even greater cost to exorcise the demons, resulting in an even greater loss.

For these students, that would seriously damage their reputation, and they might very well switch to a different school for the assignment next season.

They're not the only top martial artists in the whole country; they just live in the same province and are close by.

"I knew you were going to bring this up."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen smiled at the people on his side and said, "Tell him, who exactly am I!"

The martial artist from the Divine Speed ​​Pass route who had previously caused the accident mocked upon hearing this, saying, "Our Brother Chen signed a contract with Yangtian Agriculture three days ago. After graduating and breaking through to the second realm, he'll be a manager just like that guy over there!"

"So, I know more than you do."

Ji Chen stared at Lu Shi's gloomy face and said smugly, "I heard your ambition is to join the disinfection bureau after graduation? That lousy department is quite suitable for you; they're all good-looking but useless."

"All you do is talk. You know better than me what mass escape means and how many people you have to kill to reach that level. Besides, as long as you forcibly eliminate it the moment it takes shape, you can still harvest it."

"Hard? How hard can it be? Before strength, everything else is meaningless. Even if demons gather together, my scythe can still cleave them apart!"

As he spoke, he swung his sickle and slashed hard at the nearest stalk of wheat.

when!
The sound it made was so crisp that it echoed in the open space, startling everyone.

The sickle got stuck in the wall formed by the crops, unable to advance an inch.

The crops in front of me are much denser than before, with no gaps at all.

Lu Shi's eyes widened at that moment, "A mass exodus?"

But isn't this density a bit too much?

Their harvest is far from complete.
call!
While everyone was still stunned and confused, the crop demons, which had turned into a wall of steel, suddenly collapsed.

Like fragments burned by fire, or like blocks of ice melted away, walls of crops vanished inexplicably in a gust of wind. Along with them disappeared the crops that had been piled up there for so long, yet to be harvested.

The land, which should have been teeming with crops and yielding bountiful harvests, was revealed in a fan-shaped area before them as the crops disappeared, leaving it completely empty and barren.

In this vast land, only one figure stood out so conspicuously.

The figure was still some distance away, but in the next instant, as if in a frame of a still image, without even blinking, the person suddenly appeared right in front of them.

The man was dressed casually, with his hair combed back but leaving a few strands loose at the front. He looked unremarkable and appeared to be around the same age as them.
Li Ye glanced at these people, then focused his gaze on the two people standing behind the students.

"You are."

Just as Ji Chen was about to ask a question, before he could even utter the last word "who," the boy glanced at him, causing his hair to stand on end. He felt as if he had encountered some kind of man-eating beast, and he froze on the spot.

Not only him, but all the students around him felt their blood run cold when they were looked at.

The student on the only route to the Soul-Stabilizing Pass trembled like a leaf, his eyes filled with terror as if he had seen some great demon.

But soon, the person vanished instantly, like a ghostly phantom, as if he had never appeared at all.

The next second, they saw the person who had disappeared reappear in front of the supervisor and the soldier on patrol behind them.

Battalion Commander Zhou was taken aback, then immediately looked enlightened. But before he could speak, the narrator burst out in a tirade.

"My food!!"

The supervisor, who had been all smiles and completely at ease, suddenly scrambled to his feet in a panic.

He stared at the endless flat land, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. After a scream, he immediately glared at Li Ye:

"You owe me my grain! This land is ours to contract! Who the hell are you?! What are you doing?! Do you know how much damage this will cause?!"

He didn't know how this person did it, but he knew that as soon as this person appeared, all demons and food were reduced to nothing.

Then it must be related to him.

"Hmm?" Li Ye turned to look at him, then turned back to the officer. "Do I need to pay compensation?"

“Strictly speaking, it’s unnecessary. We haven’t signed any contracts stating that everything produced here belongs to any group. Yangtian Agriculture was only invited to participate in the cleanup of the Demon Realm.”

Battalion Commander Zhou extended his hand. "Hello, Director Li. I am Zhou Sheng, the battalion commander of the inspection battalion. I received news of your arrival beforehand, but I did not receive you in order to ensure the safety of the students. Please forgive me."

Li Ye shook hands with him, then gave him a subtle look before smiling and saying, "It's my duty, there's no need for apologies, I'm the one who's bothering you."

Three Realms
He possessed the same aura as Pan Zhengyang and Chen Hualong, whom he had encountered, and his body was surrounded by true essence with unique attributes.

"No, Battalion Commander, you can't say that. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. How can you turn your back on us so easily? There was no contract, but these rules have existed since the founding of Shenzhou. There's no legal basis, but they've become a fact."

The supervisor shouted, "Besides, who are you? What kind of bureau chief are you?"

"Li Ye, Director of the Ningjiang City Disinfection Bureau".

Zhou Sheng introduced him to Li Ye, and then said, "This is Hu Lu, the local manager of Yangtian Agricultural Company."

"Disinfection Bureau?"

Hu Lu was taken aback, then shouted even louder, "The problem now is that I have suffered losses, Battalion Commander, this is no ordinary matter. As you know, our company has invested a year's worth of grain in Jianghuai Province, all at cost price."

"The purpose was to enable more people to become martial artists through dietary supplements, in response to the call of the Divine Land. That's already enough, but now the last winter's food supply is gone."

"I see that about a third of this area is empty now! With so many dead, the other demons will definitely flee in droves, and if they're all mixed together, it's impossible to harvest them. It's like they're all useless! You have to give me that explanation!"

"You don't know?" This time it was Zhou Sheng's turn to be stunned.

"What do I know? What does the Extermination Bureau have to do with us? We're in the Demon Realm, where demons and monsters exist. The Extermination Bureau has no jurisdiction here. Anyway, this needs an explanation!"

"Yes, we need an explanation."

Li Ye nodded, glanced at Zhou Sheng, and suddenly stretched out his hand, revealing a black, bead-like object in his palm.

"Something's happened, take action!"

These inexplicable words surprised Zhou Sheng, but his pupils instantly contracted, and he clenched his fists, revealing a fighting stance.

call!
The next second, Hu Lu, who was still protesting his innocence, turned fierce and slapped Zhou Sheng from behind.

Bang!
Then, a loud bang was heard.

Li Ye's kick was like a sword, piercing Hu Lu's abdomen, causing Zhou Sheng, who was preparing for battle, to be stunned once again.

He turned his head and saw that Hu Lu's arm was covered with barbs from insects and had become segmented limbs.

"you"

Hu Lu opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of green blood, and stared at Li Ye in shock.

"Incredibly stupid."

Li Ye slipped and slammed him to the ground, stomping on his head and shouting a thunderous roar that sent a jolt through him, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"I was just planning to bluff, and if I didn't get anything, I would just let it go, but I actually got an unexpected reward."

Li Ye sneered, "Are all cult members this stupid?"

"Cult members?" Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant, looking at the black bead in Li Ye's palm, and exclaimed, "Locust eggs? The Locust God Cult?"

He was naturally aware of the infamous Locust God Sect, which originated from the White Lotus Sect.

"I've discovered the Locust God Cult, so I'm giving it a try," Li Ye said.

The locust egg hadn't appeared when it was first swallowed.

But once inside, in the heart of the Demon Realm, the aroma of rice and wheat, once ingested, was mixed with something peculiar.

Something that Li Ye was very familiar with.

He encountered this thing before he broke through the Dragon Gate.

Locust eggs!
The moment Li Ye discovered it, he knew that there were cult members of the Locust God Cult here.

He just didn't know who it was.

As he walked along, he saw that everyone was there, and an idea suddenly came to him.

Let's try to scam them first.

What if?
And it actually worked!
It took Zhou Sheng a moment to process what he was seeing, then he shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Li Zicheng lives up to his name. He's skilled at killing people and investigating demons. I'm starting to doubt you too. That's typical of the Extermination Bureau."

"But now that you've done this, I have to file a report. Cult members have entered the area under my surveillance without my noticing. It's my dereliction of duty."

Director Li also listed him as a suspect.

"Make bold guesses, but verify them carefully."

Li Ye said, "It's understandable that your military isn't good at this. Just get to the bottom of it. But, was last season's grain also supplied to Jianghuai Province?"

He looked at the person beneath his feet, whose arms had turned into insect limbs, and used his legs to push the person's head halfway into the ground. "Quite cunning. Was this year's grain just a smokescreen? The official distribution will only be in the last season? The selection of the distribution area was also very careful. Before I came here, I deliberately circled around the area. Only the central area has it."

"Give out a portion, keep the rest, and then distribute it privately? If this portion is taken out as welfare or as regular food, I'm afraid Jianghuai Province will suffer from a locust plague."

"Impossible! How could you possibly have discovered that? Impossible!"

Hu Lu spat out another mouthful of green blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He didn't know who Li Ye was. Li Zicheng was famous, but not everyone knew him. At most, only the local bigwigs knew him. And since he was in the Demon Realm, he couldn't receive any relevant information.

Even if they found out, it wouldn't matter, because he was confident that no one could find out.

The insect eggs distributed within the sect are eggs with special properties against the Demon Realm. The plan is simple, just as Li Ye said, but it will take more than a year. The plan begins the moment the insects hatch from the Demon Realm.

Three years ago, they found an opportunity to infiltrate the area. They have always been dutiful and never overstepped their bounds, doing their job properly as a supervisor. Even just now, he was acting like that.

He planted locust eggs only in the last season of this year, so that some of the grain from this last season would be secretly kept and distributed as welfare, and then passed off as genuine grain in the market.

If consumed by ordinary people, a locust plague can break out when the time comes.

This is a long-term project, but once we get to the first step, the rest is just a matter of time.

Even now, locust eggs are not fully formed. They are injected into the roots and stems of crops through a special method. The eggs will only hatch and mix into the grain when the crops are completely consumed.

No matter how well-versed in general knowledge one is, or how well one understands the Locust God Cult, one cannot use something that does not exist to investigate them.

So when Li Ye came and revealed the locust eggs, his first reaction was that the followers had come to warn him, and that something extremely serious had happened, so he had to act in advance.

How did they manage to trick me into revealing this?

What kind of thought process can be tricked out of this?

There are locust eggs in the floodplains, but not in the Demon Realm!
If there were such a thing, it would have been there long ago, it would have appeared from the very beginning, and he wouldn't have come here. That's the kind of person who's being closely guarded against.

Li Ye, of course, didn't have that kind of thought process. The Locust God Cult was Pan Zhengyang's main enemy at the moment, and he hadn't seen it in Ningjiang City. He had come to the Demon Realm to cultivate, so he wouldn't pay attention to this aspect.

But his authority comes with this condition.

The ingredients in the food you eat are crystal clear. In addition to the three kinds of demons from the Demon Realm, the pollution also contains the scent of locusts, and the energy you swallow and convert also tastes like locust eggs.

It was evidence that was discovered incidentally while I was using cheats.

He stopped the transformation in time and spat it out as evidence.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me something that interests me."

Li Ye said, "I'll give you a quick death."

"The religion will eventually return to His throne!"

Hu Lu suddenly roared, his face transforming into a grotesque locust-like creature, and his aura surged wildly at that moment.

"Wow!!"

It let out a strange cry that sounded like both a bird and an insect, and its strength, which was originally at the second realm, rose to an even higher level.
Bang! !

Li Ye crushed its skull with one foot, stopping the change and leaving only a headless human corpse.

He cursed, "Damn it, you're even more ruthless than a traitor, you're a human traitor. Oh well, I wasn't expecting you to give me any information anyway."

He's seen the Locust God Cult's cult members before; they can transform.

He was still thinking of using his own strength to make the other person weak and force out the evidence, but now it seems that there are special features to it, as it can transform even when it is subdued.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, has this batch of grain been shipped out yet?" Li Ye asked.

"Yes, this is not the first batch. Those students and previous employees have made a lot of money, but they do not have a listing permit yet."

After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Sheng of the Inspection Battalion, awaiting instructions!"

It has nothing to do with cultivation level, only with duty.

A strong disinfection team can get the military to cooperate.

Li Ye didn't need to learn anything else; just the fact that he could immediately identify Da Lei's precise business capabilities was enough for him to cooperate.

What is the configuration of the inspection battalion?

"One battalion of one thousand men, with the first company stationed at the training site in Yingcang City, and the second to fourth companies responsible for the area surrounding the Demon Realm. This includes ten tanks, fifteen infantry fighting vehicles, six self-propelled mortars, eight wheeled assault guns, and three anti-tank missile launchers, including self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, anti-magic missiles, and vehicle-mounted light missiles."

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't understand, just tell me the specific intensity."

This is an area where Li Ye's knowledge is lacking.

As someone who deals with demons, he couldn't handle equipment. What impressed him most were the military's explosive guns, which had a very high gunpowder content and were perfect for targeting demons.

"If necessary, we can raze the current Demon Realm to the ground, vacuum-contaminate it, and put it into a re-contamination phase, which is expected to clear the area for a month. If we unleash our full firepower in the wild, we can hold out against the Divine Illumination Realm for a period of time!"

divine light
Four realms!

Li Ye narrowed his eyes. "Yangtian Agriculture has four realms?"

"Tian Zhixing, the founder of Yangtian Agriculture, is a Divine Illumination Realm expert, but he is not currently in Jianghuai. His son, Tian Daoli, is a regional manager with the Third Realm Earthly Rank and is currently working at the Yingcang City branch."

Zhou Sheng paused, then continued, "If the equipment is unusable within the city, it's not a matter of coordination; it's impossible without orders. Director Li, my suggestion is to contact your superiors and, in conjunction with the local disinfection bureau, arrest the individuals within the city."

"If the higher-ups want to contact the local pest control bureau, forget about it. How many pest control bureaus in the country are respectable? If they want to take action, I'll have to go over there and clean things up. If Yangtian Agriculture really has connections with the Locust God Cult, it's easy to alert them."

After Li Ye finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, made up his mind, and was about to continue speaking when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"what's the situation?!"

Ji Chen led a group of martial artists forward and said, "I am a martial artist from Jianghuai Longwu University, currently on a mission here. Officer and student, please give me an explanation!"

Zhou Sheng frowned slightly, about to reprimand him, when Lu Shi hurriedly came from behind, disregarding the previous conflict, and grabbed Ji Chen.

"It's alright, it's alright, our mission is over, we'll head back now. Ji Chen, don't mess around, hurry up and go."

"Get out of my way. What business is it of yours? I'm asking these two people." Ji Chen frowned, then slapped Lu Shi so hard that he fell to the ground.

Li Ye frowned, ignored him, and continued speaking to Zhou Sheng:
"Arrest them directly. Take control of all Yangtian Agriculture personnel here. I'll handle the Demon Realm matter. You don't need to deal with the Three Realms; I have my own methods."

“I am Ji Chen, from the Ji family of Yangcheng, and also a designated student of Yangtian Agriculture. My family has also invested in the Demon Realm business. What do you mean by ‘you will resolve the Demon Realm issue’? This season’s Demon Realm is completely ruined. There needs to be an explanation!”

He shouldn't have done that, but the scene that Li Ye suddenly appeared in just now shocked him.

After the earthquake, he felt a pang of jealousy.

We're about the same age, how come this guy is so amazing?
That officer is someone he shouldn't mess with, but because of his position, the other party won't do anything easily.

This boy is about the same age as him, so why is he bossing people around like this?

His family was also in the second realm in Yangcheng. He knew those geniuses long ago, and none of them looked like Li Ye. Even if they had backgrounds he didn't know about, it wouldn't be illegal to ask.

Even if he killed someone, he would still ask questions because he felt he had lost out!

When he pressured Lu to hand over his harvest, it wasn't just because he disliked him, but also because this harvest included not only academic credits but also his money. Supervisor Hu had promised him that whatever grain he received was his own, and he had the right to resell it.

Based on their harvest this season, if they force Lu to comply, he can buy 20% of the grain at a low price, which is already a lot.

He then mobilized his family and paid a large deposit, but now, apart from the batch he received earlier, there are no more!
"You've invested?"

Li Ye, who was still speaking, was taken aback and turned to look at the man. "What does the grain have to do with you? How much did you take? Have you sold it?"

That condescending attitude infuriated Ji Chen, who gritted his teeth and said, "What's it to you? It's all my family's money, I paid for it, and now I'm asking you!"

"Ji Chen, Ji family, Yangcheng."

Li Ye didn't reply, but simply nodded, and with a whoosh, his arm became a blur.

Bang!
The next instant, the man's head burst like a balloon, and his headless body stood swaying precariously for a moment before crashing to the ground, causing the martial artist who had followed him to turn deathly pale.

Li Ye continued, "Mobilize heavy firepower, load up the explosives, the order comes from me, I'll take the blame. If there's any suspicion or resistance, open fire, don't give the other side any chance, and don't waste any time!"

"Understood! I'll get to it right away!" Zhou Sheng saluted again.

Li Ye moved swiftly, his figure transforming into several afterimages in the air before appearing low in the sky. In the blink of an eye, he moved to the remaining fields where crops still existed.

All the crops turned into a whirlwind, bursting apart as if they had been scattered.

From a distance, it looked as if Li Ye was flying at low altitude, his energy spreading out and turning all the demons in the Demon Realm into ashes.

"Six passes breached simultaneously?"

Zhou Sheng's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing this.

Li Ye was at the second realm, which he knew, but he hadn't reached the third realm yet because he didn't have true essence in his body.

However, if all six barriers are broken through in the second realm, the intensity will be exceptionally high.

Judging from Li Ye's current state, it's not just that he has broken through all six barriers; he must have reached at least the 'string-level' level to have this ability.

And then there's their style of doing things.
"The title is fitting; the Disinfection Bureau has truly produced a rebel king," Zhou Sheng murmured.

"Disinfection Bureau"

Lu Shi, still in shock from Ji Chen's death, shuddered upon hearing Zhou Sheng's words.

Is that the disinfection department?

He wanted to join the pest control bureau, but only to put his knowledge to good use. With his level of skill, only the pest control bureau could allow him to make the most of his abilities. He didn't really like other companies.

Although the disinfection bureau is weak, it is still an established department.

But now that I look at it, something doesn't seem right.
How is this a weakness?
Lu Shi stared at Ji Chen's headless corpse, clenched his fist slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

……

After Li Ye quickly devoured the Demon Realm, accumulating pollution and confirming that the insect eggs had also been transformed, he leaped out of the Demon Realm's range, took out his phone, and called Pan Zhengyang first.

After the call connected, before the other party could speak, Li Ye said:

"Director Pan, two things. I discovered the Locust God Cult in the Demon Realm of Yingcang City. There were locust eggs and cult members. I killed the people. Now it's related to Yangtian Agriculture. I've got the local army cooperating."

"The Ji family of Yangcheng, who are connected with Yangtian Agriculture in this Demon Realm, bought a batch of grain that may carry insect eggs."

The other party fell silent.

But not long after, Pan Zhengyang's voice rang out.

“I’ll take care of that Ji family thing. As for the grain you mentioned, the ‘Crimson Blood Grain’ series from the Hefan Seyin District hasn’t been released for winter yet. I can find it and get it.”

"The director has gone to see his father, but this matter probably has nothing to do with his father. Tian Zhixing is a good guy. But if you withdraw from Yingcang, Tian Daoli is not someone you can deal with. If it is him, he will definitely come after you, the instigator."

"Let go?"

“If I let him go, I can’t go there either. First, I won’t have time, and second, he’s a Earthly Rank cultivator, which is stronger than me.”

"Those are cult members."

"Even cultists have varying levels of strength; it's like a mosquito trying to shoot down a cannon! Once you reach the Third Realm, you can do whatever you want, now..."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a rapid shout, "Li Ye, run!!"

call! !

A sudden gust of wind swept through the city, obscuring Li Ye's figure and forcing him to fall. The wind, sharp as a knife, tore apart Li Ye's coat and sliced ​​his phone in two.

At this moment, he was in a field, and when he looked up, he could see a figure emerging from the strong wind blowing across the flat terrain ahead.

when! !

Li Ye's body suddenly emitted a clang, causing him to take a few steps back. A huge rift appeared in front of and behind him, the cut smooth as if it had been slashed by a blade.

In front of him stood a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and meticulously styled hair, holding two guillotines that seemed completely disproportionate to his size. He tilted his head and looked at him coldly.

"You're tough on the outside and tough on the inside. You kill without hesitation. My subordinates, whom I've worked so hard to train, are gone just like that. I wonder if you're tough enough."

The middle-aged man looked Li Ye up and down, then frowned and said, "He's still a young talent, a true gem of China."

"Tian Daoli?"

Li Ye asked in a low voice, "So fast? How did you do that?"

Zhou Sheng?

Still in the garrison company, which guy tipped them off?
"neither."

As if guessing Li Ye's thoughts, Tian Daoli said:
"The military of Shenzhou is still very determined, you should have confidence in that. When people in the second realm transform into locusts, they are connected to the locust nest. The cries are a warning, indicating that they have been exposed, so I will naturally withdraw. Also, you have a scent on you, which I can track."

“With a dead man, the plan is over. I figured I’d have to go abroad to avoid this, but you’ve forced me to stay. Before I leave, I’m here to take your life.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ye sneered, "If you have confidence in the military, then why are you a traitor?"

"This is a personal choice and has nothing to do with whether someone is a traitor or not."

Tian Daoli adjusted his glasses. "You say I worship gods? No, worshiping demons is treachery. I think those of you who kill demons are the real traitors."

"The Heavenly Emperor has declared that demons are rebelling!"

hum!
The two guillotines pressed down, and the resulting wind pressure cracked the ground, creating two deep trenches.

"The world is too filthy; we must rebel in order to purify it. So let me, the vanguard, purify you ahead of time!"

　I'll try to keep updating like this tomorrow after I've burned out.
