The Heavenly Court is gone, I don't want to be a True Lord.

Pu Jin glared at everyone and walked towards the valley, cursing as he went.

Only after entering the valley did I realize its extraordinary nature.

Inside, there was no snow, the trees were lush, and the branches were laden with fruit. It was warm like spring, a world apart from the icy and snowy landscape outside.

It's like... a paradise hidden deep in the mountains.

The many who enjoyed the teachings were not surprised. After confirming that Pu Jin would not take his anger out on them, they carefully went to their respective places.

However, upon returning to their respective residences and looking at the hideous lustful demons inside, they all appeared somewhat uneasy.

When a demon tries to absorb yang energy, she uses illusions to intoxicate the men whose yang energy has been absorbed.

However, when they were consuming the lustful demons, these demons did not use any illusions. With such an appearance, it would be difficult for ordinary people to bring themselves to eat them.

But after staying in the mountains for a long time, they rarely saw any women. Even if they did, they were all taken by the higher-ups. Now, looking at Yu Yao, she was actually quite pretty.

Just when some people were already eager to start having illicit affairs with the lustful demon.

Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from outside.

Then came the sound of horses neighing.

The horse's neighing sounded like thunder; even tigers and leopards in the deep mountains rarely made such a loud cry.

Pu Jin's loud laughter echoed through the valley.

"Mr. Wei has arrived? Please."

Someone cautiously peeked out and saw a strange old man with white hair and a black beard riding a silver-white horse with a mane that shimmered with metallic luster as it entered the valley.

"Brother Pu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Pu Jin casually said everything was fine, then his eyes lit up as he looked at the horse beneath Mr. Wei. "I've long heard that Mr. Wei's mount is the legendary Night Snow, and seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary!"

Mr. Wei's horse is an extraordinary breed among horses.

"I have a past relationship with Mr. Qiu of Qianyun Ranch in Yuncheng. Since Brother Pu likes it so much, I will definitely help Brother Pu get one when he gets another BMW."

Pu Jin was overjoyed, "Thank you so much!"

He wasn't entirely sure of the other person's identity, but he knew that the other person was someone of great importance. He had met the other person when the Xu family was at its peak, and at that time, the Xu family had always held him in high esteem.

He felt very proud to be valued by such an important person.

"I met your Dharma King a few days ago and heard that Brother Pu has made great progress in spiritual cultivation and possesses a life-giving bone. There is something I would like to trouble you with."

Pu Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, please speak freely!"

"Murong Qiong is away from Fushan City and has not returned. Furthermore, the demon's lair at Baoyue Lake has rioted, leaving the city's defenses weak. I intend to eliminate Pei Hanhai. Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

Upon hearing this, Pu Jin reached out and stroked his bald head, a wicked look on his face.

"I've long heard that this Pei Hanhai is Murong Qiong's disciple. Back when I became famous, he was still following Murong Qiong around like a baby. He has a mediocre life force, which is quite remarkable, but my divine power is not to be underestimated either. Don't worry, Mr. Wei, as long as Pei Hanhai is alone, just leave him to me!"

On his bald head was something like a birthmark, which was his life bone, which he called the divine head.

Mr. Wei nodded approvingly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Pu. If things go well in the future, I won't treat you unfairly."

Pu Jin had some idea of ​​the person's identity and guessed that the other party had powerful backing. Upon hearing this, he immediately showed joy and said, "I, Pu, will do my best."

……

in the city.

The commander of the Six Doors is named Du Daozhen. He is over eighty years old and possesses profound strength. It is said that when he came to Fushan City more than ten years ago, he was already a peerless master comparable to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

They were also one of the main forces sent down to suppress the Xu family when they were destroyed in the past.

With the full cooperation of the Six Doors, Murong Qiong was able to completely overwhelm the powerful Xu family.

After the destruction of the Xu family, Du Daozhen concurrently served as the acting commander of the Taizhou Six Doors, overseeing all affairs of the Taizhou Tiance Prefecture. In other words, the actual control of the Six Doors in Fushan City was in the hands of the three thousand households under the command of Zhenfu.

One of the thousand-household commanders was named Du Youxin, the son of Du Daozhen. He was only fifty years old, nine years younger than Tang Yu, but he was already a master of the fifth level of the Forging God Realm.

At this moment.

In a reception room of the Six Doors government office.

Du Youxin sat upright in the head chair, his eyes slightly closed, with a faint divine light emanating from them. Although he was nearing fifty, he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

Liu Chong sat down next to him.

"You must have made a significant contribution by accompanying Commander Tang on this trip, right?"

Du Youxin greeted Liu Zhong with a smile and asked.

Liu Chong looked cautious, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "I am deeply grateful for the two commanders' high regard for me, which allows me the opportunity to perform meritorious service, but..."

At this point, Liu Chong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Du Youxin inherited his father's influence and, although he had been in officialdom for many years and learned almost everything his father knew about officialdom, he ultimately lacked the ability to see through people's hearts at a glance, which was something that those who had climbed up from the bottom had.

"Just say what you have to say. Hesitating doesn't make you a man."

He once accompanied Ge Gong on a diplomatic mission to the State of Song, where he was saved by Liu Chong's father. Over the years, he has treated Liu Chong as his own son and grandson.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chong spoke softly.

"I just feel that Commander Tang's trip was both too smooth and too unsuccessful. It was smooth in capturing the Xi Cult members, but unsuccessful in that the remnants of the Xu family did not appear. It's as if someone deliberately threw out the Xi Cult members as expendable pawns."

Du Youxin frowned upon hearing this. Du Daozhen was one of the main forces that destroyed the Xu family back then, so he naturally did not want to see the Xu family prosper.

"What do you mean?"

"I just feel that Zuo Qi, who provided information to Commander Tang, is somewhat suspicious, but Commander Tang seems to trust him quite a bit..."

What are your thoughts?

"I intend to transfer him to Baoyue Lake to observe him. If he is indeed involved with the Xu family, he will not escape my notice."

Du Youxin remained silent.

After a long while, he uttered a single word softly.

"Can."

Liu Chong carefully took his leave and departed from the Six Doors. After walking for a long time, he saw a person who turned out to be... Qin Chen.

"Brother Qin, things have been arranged. Zuo Qi has offended the Xu family. If the Xu family finds out that Zuo Qi is guarding Baoyue Lake, they might trigger the demon nest in Baoyue Lake again. If you and I can discover the rules of the demon nest, we can also make a great contribution. Even if we can't discover them, Zuo Qi being dragged into the demon nest can still give you a chance to vent your anger."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen was shaken and looked at Liu Zhong with a scrutinizing gaze.

This person turned out to be several times more cunning than him; fortunately, he and this person were now allies in terms of interests.

……

Guard post.

Amidst the chaos, guards carrying buckets of water continuously splashed water into the thick fog, making out some vague outlines.

After the snow stopped today, a thick fog rose, and everyone in the garrison was on high alert.

As expected, the mountain demon descended the mountain.

Fortunately, with Zuo Qi and the other two in charge, the mountain demon, though ferocious, did not cause too many casualties.

The next day.

The morning sun was like blood.

Wei Zhenzhen stepped forward quickly, "Commander Zuo, you killed a total of sixteen mountain demons yesterday. Congratulations, Lord Zuo."

The guards stepped forward, their gazes toward Zuo Qi filled with complex emotions. Although they knew Zuo Qi was strong, the scene of him instantly killing the mountain demon yesterday still shocked them.

This is a level of power that completely surpasses the second level of martial arts. Some guards who had seen the third-level martial arts guests in the manor make a move secretly compared it with the others and found that Zuo Qi's speed and strength were no less than those of an ordinary third-level martial arts guest.

Such strength…

No wonder the young lady valued him.

"Compile a briefing and submit it to the garrison camp."

"Yes."

……

Lin House.

Lin Yuchan's expression was slightly unpleasant.

"Recruitment? Zuo Qi and the other two are currently at the Dongshan Town garrison post, and it may be difficult for them to guard Baoyue Lake. Please send the commander back."

Standing in front of her was a middle-aged man dressed as a captain of the Six Doors. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is a personal order from Commander Du. There is an urgent need for manpower at Baoyue Lake. Zuo Qi is exceptionally intelligent and meticulous. He may be able to discover some clues that we cannot find. These are Commander Du's original words. Please summon Zuo Qi back as soon as possible, Miss Lin."

Lin Yuchan's brows furrowed even more deeply.

The captain looked around, and only after Zhang Chunfang had left did he speak in a low voice.

"I heard it was Liu Chong, the centurion, who said some bad things when Zuo Xiaoqi captured the sorcerers of the Xijiao sect."

He was a native of Fushan City and naturally knew the power of the Lin family. Although he was in Tian Ce Mansion, he could not stay there forever. He knew that his talent was limited and that being a captain was the peak of his life. In the future, he might still have to rely on the Lin family (similar to Yang Nuo at the dock).

Lin Yuchan immediately understood upon hearing this.

Was this a targeted attack by Liu Zhong?

Who is this Liu Chong?

The important words that were originally about to be spoken, which were equally important to the Dongshan Garrison, were suppressed.

"I understand. I'll trouble Commander Xue to make the trip."
