The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

A caravan entered Chengdu, Sichuan.

The flag of the escort team was embroidered with the words "Zhenyuan".

Upon entering Chengdu, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The capital of Shu Prefecture is relatively safe.

Although they didn't understand why Commander Zhou chose to separate from them before entering the city, they were already very fortunate to have arrived in Chengdu alive.

Once the Demon King's bone is delivered to the Lin family, this mission will be considered successfully completed.

How will we give this thousand-gold silver to Commander Zhou?

"Let's go, let's deliver the goods to the Lin family first. After that, brothers, relax a bit. This trip's wages will all be doubled."

Lin Qingshan said.

The bodyguards couldn't help but cheer.

…………

Zhou Heng entered Chengdu through another city gate.

Moreover, it was half a day earlier than the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Even if someone were to try to connect him with the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, they wouldn't.

When they entered the city, Zhou Heng was accompanied by another person.

The man was tall and thin, dressed in a blue robe, looking like a scholar, but his furtive gaze was full of lewdness.

It is not a person.

To be precise, it is a monster in disguise.

Lu Xuanfeng, the patrol general under the command of Qingyang Mountain Lord.

After it was given a disguise, it became what it is now.

Zhou Heng did not kill it but kept it by his side, intending to use it as his guide.

A guide who slays demons and monsters.

Qingyang Mountain Lord has a lair within the territory of Shuzhou, and Lu Xuanfeng has also been roaming around Shuzhou for many years. It basically knows where the demons are hiding in Shuzhou.

"If we're talking about monsters in Chengdu, the most famous one is Yuan Daren."

"Deer Whirlwind said in a low voice."

It has absolutely no psychological qualms about betraying its own kind.

"Master Yuan?"

Zhou Heng said, somewhat puzzled.

"Not a human being, but a benevolent person."

Lu Xuanfeng explained earnestly, "Yuan Daren has been mingling in the human world for many years, doing business in Chengdu."

I heard it has ninety-nine shops in the city.

Lu Xuanfeng looked on with envy.

Among monsters hiding among humans, only a few can thrive like this.

"It acted as its own grandfather, son, and grandson, and had over a dozen wives..."

"I suggest you deal with it first," said Deer Whirlwind.

Zhou Heng gave it a cold look.

"Remember, you're just a guide; it's not your place to decide who to deal with."

Zhou Heng spoke coldly and honestly.

His gaze swept across the city wall, where he spotted a distinctive symbol at its base, and he stepped forward.

Lu Xuanfeng shrank back, followed behind Zhou Heng with his head down, and looked around with his eyes darting around.

Zhou Heng led Lu Xuanfeng forward, arriving directly at a secluded alley.

"The office of the Imperial Guard is not located here."

Lu Xuanfeng couldn't help but say, "I know where the Gongwei Division's office is. Shall I lead the way?"

In the past, when we came to the city to have fun, we always made sure to avoid the Imperial Guard's office.

Zhou Heng ignored it and went to the gate of a courtyard, raising his hand to knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

A knock came at the door.

There was no movement from inside the door, and no one opened it.

Zhou Heng grabbed the door lock, twisted it casually, and opened the door before pushing it open and going inside.

"The people from the Guardian Bureau seem even more arrogant than us monsters."

"How could they break into a private residence in broad daylight?"

Lu Xuanfeng muttered to himself, "But it's still better to be a human being. You can do whatever you want without being found out."

Zhou Heng had no idea what Lu Xuanfeng was thinking.

He certainly didn't break into a private residence.

He found it based on the marks left by Lü Zi'an.

As agreed with Lü Zi'an, Lü Zi'an went ahead to Shuzhou to scout the way.

After entering Shu Prefecture, Zhou Heng discovered the mark left by Lü Zian.

The reason for parting ways with Zhenyuan Escort Agency before entering the city was to reunite with Lü Zian.

The previous commander of the Shuzhou Garrison died in office, so Lü Zi'an came to Shuzhou ahead of time as a precaution.

Zhou Heng is not afraid of open warfare.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

What if Shu Prefecture is like Qi Prefecture, rotten to the core?

If he rashly takes up the post, he might fall into some kind of trap.

Slaying demons and monsters doesn't mean you have to act recklessly.

Even with a danger countdown warning, you must remain vigilant at all times.

The courtyard was clean and tidy, and there were no signs of a struggle inside the room.

Zhou Heng suddenly noticed a leaf under the table leg, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Lu Zian was a clean freak; his room was always kept spotless.

Zhou Heng picked up the leaf and keenly sensed the lingering aura of a priest on it.

His eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Did Lü Zi'an manipulate this leaf with the power of the Night Wanderer?

A sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

Lu Zian has the Ghost Wood Sword, so even if he uses Night Wanderer, he should possess the Ghost Wood Sword to act. What is he doing controlling a leaf?

Unless, he left it there on purpose.

"Deer Whirlwind, have any of the monsters hiding in Chengdu infiltrated the government?"

Zhou Heng looked at Lu Xuanfeng and asked in a deep voice.

"What kind of gate is the public gate?"

"I asked curiously," Lu Xuanfeng asked.

"It's the government."

Zhou Heng said.

"Yes, I know a demon who works in the government, but he's not one of us; he works for the Demon King."

Lu Xuanfeng said, "In the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is a demon king who wants to establish a demon kingdom. It is said that he has already subdued many demon kings."

In the past, some demons have come to persuade Lord Qingyang Mountain.

However, Lord Qingyang Mountain did not agree. He wanted to join after he became the Demon King, so that he could gain more benefits.

"The Demon King of Chaos?"

Zhou Heng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

The chaos in Qizhou was orchestrated by the Chaotic Demon King, who also claimed that the Wolf Vanguard wanted to establish a Demon Court.

"I've heard of the Chaos Demon King, but the monster in the Shu Prefecture government isn't with him. This monster is a subordinate of the Flat Heaven Demon King."

"It gave itself a name that sounds like a scholar's name," said Lu Xuanfeng.

Zhou Heng really wanted to ask it, "What's so scholarly about this name? Is it just because it has the character 'book' in it?"

However, he was worried about Lü Zian's safety and asked in a deep voice, "Where does Kong Shuwen live?"

Take me to it.

"that--"

Deer Whirlwind hesitated, which was unusual for him.

"What, you don't know where it lives?"

Zhou Heng said coldly.

"No, it's just that Kong Shuwen is my friend, and it hasn't harmed anyone. Could you spare its life?"

Lu Xuanfeng said hesitantly.

Zhou Heng glanced at it with some surprise.

Lu Xuanfeng didn't hesitate at all when he betrayed Qingyang Mountain Lord, but now he's willing to plead for Kong Shuwen.

This guy is quite interesting, just because Kong Shuwen has been to school?

Does reading still hold any allure in Lu Xuanfeng's eyes?

"Whether you spare it or not is none of your concern. Lead the way."

Zhou Heng said coldly, "If you're unwilling to lead the way, then there's no point in keeping you around."

If you want to set off now, I can grant your wish.

Zhou Heng placed his hand on the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Blade.

Lu Xuanfeng shuddered and dared not say anything more. He turned and walked away.

"I'll lead the way!"

He muttered, "It's better to die than to die. I've done my best, Kong Shuwen, please don't blame me."
