Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

Chapter 59 Head-to-Head

Inside the Demon Suppression Division, Lu Cheng was already sitting in the conference room, jumping around energetically.

Before being dragged to the Demon Suppression Bureau by Master Liang, he went to Sweetwater Street first and pretended to look around and choose a brothel. He even deliberately walked around the entrance of Drunken Spring Pavilion twice before pretending that he had something urgent to attend to and was called to the Demon Suppression Bureau by Master Liang.

He's full of cunning schemes.

He considered himself not a particularly clever person, but he could naturally guess what these leaders were thinking. They simply wanted him to handle the Jingnan corpse refining case. Since he was the one who discovered it, it was naturally his responsibility to carry it out.

It wasn't that no one in the Demon Suppression Division wanted to reap the rewards. After all, the merit of this matter was considerable, and Lu Cheng had already stirred up the big fish behind him. He also had a lot of intelligence in his hands and had personally killed two evil cultivators.

But now no one dares to pick this peach, and no one dares to take on this task.

The fact that Lu Cheng had become Ji Xiaoxiao's disciple was no secret within the Demon Suppression Division. The captains and hall masters could see that Huang Zhao was paving the way for this kid, and that he might be some kind of illegitimate child. No one dared to cross him.

For the past few days, they had been focused on city defense and mopping-up operations, and had no time to deal with the corpse-refining case. They finally had some free time to deal with it today, so their first reaction was to call Lu Cheng over.

"Lu Cheng, what are your plans regarding the case of corpse refining?"

"Both of the two who attacked you have been brought to justice. You also mentioned that there were accomplices in Jingnan City and that these demons had set traps in the surrounding counties and towns. Now the trouble is how to find all the remaining hidden corpses."

""

"According to your previous idea, the Demon Suppression Division has always had people monitoring the madam of the Drunken Spring Pavilion. That woman has been in contact with our Demon Suppression Division recently, and she has intentionally or unintentionally revealed the inspection room where the Demon Suppression Division stores corpses. She even wants to take away that smashed zombie."

What do you think?

Huang Zhao's voice was very natural.

Besides Huang Zhao, there were only a few hall masters and a few captains present. Some of them had been temporarily transferred due to missions, but the ninth captain, who looked gloomy, was still there, coldly staring at the young man, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"I will naturally follow your arrangements. As a newcomer, I hope to learn a lot from you all."

""

He politely cupped his hands in greeting.

The expressions of the people gathered in the conference hall softened slightly.

They had already learned of Huang Zhao's thoughts from Master Liang. The thirteenth banner was a done deal. It was impossible to be completely at ease. Putting aside the issue of the allocation of cultivation resources, his identity alone was very troublesome.

With the token given by Huang Zhao and having become Ji Xiaoxiao's disciple, it would be fine if this kid was well-behaved. But if he liked to pontificate and issue orders every day, wouldn't the entire Demon Suppression Division be thrown into chaos? The key is that they have no choice but to obey.

With a broad smile on his face, this scene reminded Lu Cheng of the time when he first entered the workforce in his previous life. Everyone had their own thoughts, and it was best to avoid trouble if possible. Now, he was preoccupied with how to continue condensing spiritual liquid and cultivating swordsmanship, to the point that "women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword."

"Young Master Lu wasn't so reserved when he was directing my subordinates in the Ninth Division."

A sarcastic voice still rang out from the crowd.

"Ninth Brother".

"

The old man next to him tugged at him, signaling him to shut up. It was clear that the Ninth Banner was still holding a grudge about what happened last time. However, Lu Cheng was not intimidated and answered naturally.

"Please don't misunderstand, Ninth Commander. After all, your subordinates have been forcing me to sign and put my fingerprint on documents in order to get promoted. If I don't give them some tasks, it'll be like letting a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. Ninth Commander, how about I hand this case over to you? I'll observe from the sidelines?"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. When it came to being sarcastic and sarcastic, Lu Cheng was second to none. He directly categorized the Nine Departments as a bunch of rotten apples, bringing the scandal to the forefront without giving them any leeway.

He even bluntly stated that handing the matter over to the Nine Departments was clearly a way of entertaining them.

With no intelligence, no information, and no location, the only person who had fought against Lianxuzi and the others and knew the information was Lu Cheng. Sending the Nine Divisions to capture him would be like searching in the dark.

Just as Jiu Zongqi was about to stand up from his chair, the person next to him forcefully pressed him back down.

"Alright, it's fine to leave it to my Nine Divisions, but you have to come with us. Otherwise, how will we know where those corpses are hidden and who that sorcerer has been in contact with? Lu Cheng, you have to present this information to us in person."

"I dare to say it, but do you dare to believe it? Don't let the Ninth Banner fail to catch the person and then pin the blame for reporting false military information on me. I can't bear that responsibility."

,

"Would I do something like that?!"

""

"It's written in black and white, please see."

Without saying a word, he took out the paper that had been forced to be signed and placed it on the table. In fact, many people knew that there were a few people under Lao Jiu who were not clean, but they did not expect the supervision to be so ineffective. Even if they wanted to speak up for the other party, they could not do anything about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly strange, even spiritual energy was bursting out of his body, finally.

*Bang!* "Shut up, all of you."

""

A heavy slap landed on the table.

The atmosphere in the conference hall froze. Most of the people present looked helpless, and several even started tugging at Jiu Zongqi's sleeves, signaling him not to act rashly.

"Lu Cheng, please don't take offense. That's just how Lao Jiu is. He was definitely in the wrong that time. He's just a proud man and a bit petty, but he's still a very good person."

Chen An, who was standing next to him, moved his lips a few times, his voice strained and his words were sent directly to Lu Cheng's ears.

Nod slightly.

It wasn't that he wanted to dwell on the matter, but the other party's attitude made it impossible for him to work normally. Lu Cheng sat back down, straightening up, while Huang Zhao turned his head away expressionlessly.

The Ninth Banner Commander dared not utter a sound; he could tell that Huang Zhao was truly enraged.

"Master Huang."

"Please hand this case over to the officers, and I will do my best to cooperate and help identify the suspects."

""

"Because the information I finally got from Lianxuzi was very vague, with some names and addresses, but most of it was about appearance and physical characteristics, I will write a list myself. As for the rest of the people, I will have to identify them myself."

,

He readily gave up the peach. What he wanted now was not to improve his status in the Demon Suppression Division, but to personally go to the site to collect the demonic filth used in corpse refining. Otherwise, his spiritual root would always be in a state of depletion. However, his initiative to give up the peach undoubtedly made Huang Zhao's expression much better.

"Lu Cheng, you are in full charge of this case. I will allocate manpower to you from various banners."

""

"Yes, sir!"

Just as everyone was talking in the conference hall, the door was suddenly pushed open. Huang Zhao was about to reprimand them when he found that it was Master Liang who brought in the two brothers, Zhu Wen and Hou Feng.

"Report! Cuiying, the madam of Zuichunlou, is heading out of the city. Judging from her posture, she is probably going to contact her informant!"
