I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The flashes of light seemed to burn through the darkness.

Amidst the ruins, that young figure became the sole focus of attention in the world.

Beneath the black nanotech armor, despite the specks of blood still clinging to his handsome face, the presence of countless cameras created a unique and captivating effect.

That is the embodiment of power and authority.

The live streaming platforms' chat rooms completely crashed at that moment.

"General! Look this way! I'm from the Jiangcheng Evening News!"

"Sir! Please show me your face!"

"I'm a Douyin influencer with a million followers. Can I take a photo with you? Just one!"

"Holy crap! That's so cool!"

"Is this some kind of movie special effects? One person taking on two level 5 opponents?"

"I'm a student from Third Martial Arts High School! That's our senior, Shen! It really is Senior Shen!"

"Honey! This is my husband! Nobody can take him from me!"

"Have you no shame? That's clearly my long-lost husband!"

The keyboard warriors who were just questioning the violent law enforcement of the Po Jun Division seem to have collectively lost their memory, and the screen is now filled with "666" and "General Shen is awesome".

In this world where the strong are respected.

Is beauty everything?

No.

Might makes right.

When you have both good looks and strength, then you are the truth.

A slightly bolder female reporter shakily handed the microphone to Shen Tian.

The female reporter's voice trembled slightly, both from fear and from the excitement of seeing Shen Tian's face up close.

"Is the Li family really colluding with the Otherworldly Demons?"

"Was the one you just killed really a legendary vampire?"

"How did the Po Jun Division obtain the clues about the Li family's collusion with the Otherworldly Demons?"

"Did your battle just now signify that the political landscape of Jiangcheng is about to change?"

"Why wasn't the Li family's collusion with the demonic forces discovered before, even after so many years?"

"Also, you possess such terrifying combat power at such a young age. Do you have any special training techniques?"

A person approached and saw that Shen Tian did not refuse.

This dispelled the concerns of many people.

More reporters surrounded Shen Tian and began asking him all sorts of questions.

"How did you manage to become the commander-in-chief of the Po Jun Division at such a young age?"

"Have you already obtained any clues beforehand?"

"How old are you today?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Do you prefer your father or your mother?"

……

The questions were fired off one after another.

Shen Tian flashed eight pearly white teeth, even exuding a sunny, boyish charm.

But this is a ruthless man who just chopped off two heads!

This contrast sent a chill down the spines of all the reporters present, yet they were also irresistibly drawn to that smile.

Good evening, everyone from the media. Thank you for your hard work.

Gentle, humble, and harmless.

He doesn't seem like a ruthless person who was just carrying two heads around.

"That's a very good question from the journalist."

Shen Tian cleared his throat, his voice gentle and warm.

"Specific details about the Li family's collusion with the alien demons, and a series of irrefutable evidence held by the Po Jun Division."

"This is a very complex and far-reaching case."

"It's probably too difficult to explain in just a few words."

The reporters nodded vigorously, raising their recording pens even higher.

Shen Tian paused, then changed the subject.

"so."

"In order to give the public the most authoritative and detailed explanation."

"Our beloved Qin Zhenshan, the town garrison commander, has decided to hold a large-scale press conference at the Tian Shu Bureau at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"At that time."

"Mr. Qin will personally attend to answer everyone's questions, analyze the case, and announce a series of swift and decisive actions to follow."

Done.

Shen Tian gave the camera an even brighter smile.

"Such important matters requiring overall coordination should be presided over by a highly respected senior like Elder Qin to carry more weight."

Click, click.

The shutter clicked wildly again.

Although the reporters were somewhat disappointed that they hadn't uncovered any exclusive scoops, they did gain some important information.

Tomorrow morning, Qin Zhenshou will hold a press conference!

……

On the roof of a black SUV not far away.

Qin Zhenshan was stroking his beard and smiling, looking pleased that the boy was "teachable".

Upon hearing Shen Tian's words...

His hand trembled, and he almost plucked out a few strands of his beard.

The smile froze on his face instantly.

"This kid..."

Qin Zhenshan's mouth twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"What do you mean, 'my decision'?"

"When did I say I was going to hold a press conference?!"

"Isn't this putting me on the hot seat?!"

This is blatant blame-shifting!

And the way he flipped it was so smooth and flawless, without missing a single detail.

And what's with all this talk about "highly respected" and "overall planning"?

He was so flattered that he couldn't find a reason to get angry.

Chi Xiao, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, then burst into a loud, booming laugh.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chi Xiao laughed until tears almost streamed down his face, patting Qin Zhenshan on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

"Remember to get up early, don't be late."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qin Zhenshan glared at Chi Xiao with a dark expression.

But as he looked at the young man surrounded by flashing lights in the distance, the anger in his eyes slowly dissipated.

Instead.

It was a feeling I had never experienced before.

"That's enough."

Qin Zhenshan sighed, his gaze becoming somewhat profound.

He took out a specially supplied cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze seemed to pierce through time, returning to the past decade or so.

Those were the most frustrating decade or so in Jiangcheng.

The four major families are deeply intertwined and control the economic lifeline.

Even many of the Po Jun Si's actions depend on their approval.

As the garrison commander.

Qin Zhenshan wasn't unwilling to deal with them.

But he dared not.

At that time, the Po Jun Division was not strong enough.

He didn't want to waste the precious resources of the Po Jun Division on internal strife.

This allowed those despicable beasts to take advantage of the situation.

At that time, Jiangcheng was beset by hordes of beasts lurking outside, and its people were restless inside.

In order to consider the overall situation and to save this city.

He had no choice but to compromise.

Even if they knew that the Li family was doing some shady things in secret.

He could only turn a blind eye and pretend to "mingle with the world."

To put it nicely, it's called putting the bigger picture first.

To put it bluntly...

He's just a coward.

That's just pathetic.

"How many years has it been..."

Qin Zhenshan exhaled a smoke ring, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"I dream of uprooting these vampires."

"Unfortunately, I'm old, I have too many worries, and my sharpness has been worn away."

"But this kid is different."

Qin Zhenshan pointed to Shen Tian in the distance.

"He doesn't talk to you about balance."

"If you provoke him, he'll draw his sword."

"Whether you're a local bully or a newcomer, just chop you down first."

Qin Zhenshan smiled.

This time, it was a genuine laugh.

"The landscape of Jiangcheng will change starting tonight."

"It's completely changed."

"Once the Li family falls, other scoundrels and demons will have to think twice before they try to pull any tricks."

"This is so unfair!"

"I've been holding it in for over a decade, and today I've finally let it all out!"

Qin Zhenshan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.

"It's just a press conference, isn't it?"

"open!"

"I'm going to talk about this for three days and three nights tomorrow!"

"Let the whole of Jiangcheng know, this is what happens when you mess with our Tian Shu Bureau!"

……

"Everyone."

Shen Tian spoke with a smile.

"This interview is now over."

"The Po Jun Division is now carrying out official duties and is sealing off the scene for investigation."

"This is both a crime scene and the lair of the Otherworldly Demons."

"What if there's still some lingering poison or traps..."

Shen Tian paused deliberately, his eyes sweeping over the necks of the reporters at the front.

"It wouldn't be good if anyone got hurt."

The reporters felt a chill run down their spines.

They then suddenly realized what was happening.

The smiling young man in front of you is a ruthless person who just killed two fifth-level experts!

Those two bloody heads are still rolling on the ground!

The so-called "performing official duties" translates to—

Get lost.

Otherwise, I'll deal with you all too.

"General Shen, you've worked hard!"

"Since you're busy with official duties, we won't bother you any longer!"

"Um... everyone, let's get out of here! Don't delay the Criminal Investigation Department's investigation!"

Splash!

The crowd that was just packed together disappeared in less than half a minute.

I almost forgot to bring the live streaming stand.

The world is finally quiet.

Shen Tian turned around and looked at the group of Po Jun Si brothers behind him who were staring at him expectantly.

Ah Fei and Reggae joined them.

"Boss, you're amazing!"

Ah Fei's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.

"but……"

Afei scratched his head and glanced at the huge ruins behind him.

"What do we do next?"

"You've already demolished the Li family's house like this, what's the point of investigating anymore?"

Reggae looked equally puzzled.

Everyone was killed, and all the houses were demolished.

Why bother with the lockdown?

Shen Tian looked at the two simpletons and shook his head in exasperation.

Are you guys stupid?

Shen Tian pointed to the ruins, his eyes filled with righteous indignation.

It's like an impartial and incorruptible judge.

"This general strongly suspects that the Li family has hidden clues about their collusion with the alien demons under their gold bars, equipment, and cultivation resources."

"In order to thoroughly investigate the case."

"To give the people of Jiangcheng an explanation."

"Whether it's gold bricks or precious medicine."

"Dig them all out!"

"This is the most important piece of physical evidence!"

Shen Tian waved his hand and roared with righteous indignation:

"Pass on my orders!"

"Dig three feet into the ground!"

"Not even a fly should be let escape!"

"Anything that looks valuable... cough cough, anything that looks suspicious, pack it all up and take it with you!"

Afei and Reggae were stunned for a second.

Then, in an instant, I had an epiphany.

Their eyes instantly lit up like two light bulbs.

"The boss is brilliant!"

"This is for the purpose of investigating a case!"

"Yes! We must investigate this thoroughly!"

Reggae slung the tower shield over his back and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Brothers! Did you hear that?!"

"General Shen has given the order!"

"Search... no, search for evidence!"

"Let's do it!"

boom!

The three thousand Po Jun Si warriors, who were originally somewhat tired, suddenly became as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

One by one, they roared and charged toward the ruins.

This is the Li family!

The richest man in Jiangcheng!

This is not a ruin.

This is clearly a mountain of gold!

Shen Tian looked at the backs of the group of men, who resembled wolves and tigers, and nodded in satisfaction.

This is the team he wanted.

Only when there is meat to eat can one have the fighting power.
