Ruins of the past

Yong'an 17 years, November.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the grass and trees are shaking down.

Shuzhou seemed to have a chilling atmosphere just like the weather.

Since the battle between Li Yaofeng, the Supreme Leader of the Jie Sect, and Bai Shihe, the fierce god of the Shuzhou Demon Division, in Bafu, with Li Yaofeng being seriously injured and retreating, all five types of demons were wiped out, and the Taoist temple of the Tianshi Sect was burned...

The atmosphere in Shuzhou became increasingly tense.

In particular, the conflicts between the Jie Sect and the Tianshi Sect became increasingly frequent.

Believers from both sides often insulted each other in the street, and later developed into violent fights.

Various sieges, sneak attacks, and even acts of beating, smashing, and looting gradually appeared.

This is all because of the feud between the indigenous people and the Han people, the Jie Sect and the Tianshi Sect, the indigenous leaders and the government...the two sides have been accusing themselves of feud for a long time, and this battle in the Ba Mansion was just the trigger.

More and more people are beginning to fish in troubled waters, taking advantage of the conflicts between the two major sects to eliminate old enemies and gain benefits.

Even the major indigenous leaders of Blackwater Mansion are starting to make moves.

And under such circumstances, the great demons of the Snow Mountain Demon Country also responded.

Mi SiRi, known as the largest monster in the Snow Mountains and also known as the Monster Monk, was the first to take action and attacked Xuanji Mountain guarded by Baishihe at night.

The two sides fought for a whole night, with mountains and rivers collapsing and rivers and lakes toppling over.

The Suppressing Demon Division's blockade of Daxue Mountain was also torn into a big hole.

Tens of thousands of monsters swarmed out.

Although the Suppressing Demon Division and local officers and soldiers went all out to encircle and suppress them, a large number of troops had been mobilized from Xuanji Mountain in order to guard against the Jie Cult and the indigenous leaders.

As a result, countless monsters broke through the defense line, blended into the Shuzhou land, and temporarily lay dormant.

This seemed to add fuel to the fire, allowing many forces to see the weakness of the Han Dynasty in Shuzhou at this time.

There are conflicts between natives and Han, sects are fighting, humans and monsters are fighting... The situation in the whole state is becoming more and more turbulent.

…

Bafu, Dafengshan.

A group of bear demons on the mountain were wiped out by Chu Qiguang more than half a year ago.

But at this moment, a group of men in black stood silently in front of the deserted temple.

The leader was a big man with beards and a bear-like appearance.

The big man's face was full of flesh, and the beards on his ferocious face were as straight as steel needles.

The protruding mouth and nose are full of animal scent.

He opened his mouth and revealed a set of fangs: "Why isn't Jin Yue here?"

Jin Yue was the bear demon that Chu Qiguang destroyed in the Big Tomb Mountain.

According to the agreement, he should meet the demon country's troops here.

Listening to the leader's question, all the demons present were silent.

They are all bear demons from the Snow Mountain Demon Country. They have been practicing in the mountains all year round. They do not know much about the human world, and they are even less likely to know the current situation in Ba Mansion.

The leader of the bear demon is named Jin Lie, and he is a disciple of the demon monk Mi Siri in the Snow Mountain.

Looking at the long-abandoned temple in front of him, Jin Lie thought for a while... He might as well send Xiong down to inquire about it.

So after half a day, they finally figured out the situation in Ba's house in recent months.

Jin Lie frowned and said, "It turned out to be the Bafu Zhenmo Division who swept away the demons and wiped out Jin Yue and the others?"

Another bear demon on the side said: "This Demon Suppressor is so evil."

"I heard that the Demon Suppressor Baihu in Ba Mansion is just a kid from the fourth realm."

A bear demon asked in confusion: "Deputy Baihu is a veteran of the Five Realms. Why do you let the weak lead the strong?"

Jin Lie had been to the human world several times before, and he had some understanding of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty.

He snorted coldly: "The situation of the big man has been deteriorating in recent years. Corruption is rampant in the officialdom. Those who are capable are unwilling to join in the corruption, or have no backers, so naturally they cannot get ahead."

"But if it hadn't been like this, we wouldn't have had the chance to bite off a piece of meat from the Han court."

Although the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce and Chu Qiguang are doing well in Lingzhou.

But Shuzhou and Lingzhou are one to the south and one to the north, so they are too far apart.

Bafu is a remote place in Shuzhou, so naturally many news from Lingzhou has not yet reached it.

I heard that the other bear monsters were ready to take action against the Bafu Zhenmo Division.

Jin Lie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the hundreds of households here are not strong enough, so it is convenient for us to do things."

"Let's secretly contact the local demon clan first, and don't take action against the Demon Suppressor. We'll wait until the Jie Sect takes action."

"I heard that the strongest monster here is called Tongtian. He may be a demon immortal who has entered Taoism. Let's go visit him first."

…

At this moment when the situation in Shuzhou was becoming increasingly turbulent.

Ning Chigong, deputy director of the Ba family, was also deeply uneasy. After all, the Jie Sect had suffered losses here, and it was very likely that they would come back with revenge.

Especially these days, there are more and more Jie Cult believers in Ba Mansion, and they obviously have evil intentions.

But Chu Qiguang was never around again, and he, Zhang Jitian, and Chen Gang seemed to have lost their backbone.

In the past two months, they could only go to brothels and goulanli every day, and numb themselves by eating wine and listening to music.

On the contrary, the friendship between the three of them has greatly improved.

Fortunately, Chongmingniao Shichang was delivering letters on both sides, which not only allowed Chu Qiguang to understand the information about Shuzhou, but also allowed Ning Chigong to contact Chu Qiguang.

So after Chu Qiguang handed over the affairs of the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce to Wang Cailiang, Liu Yao and others, he finally returned to Bafu on the Chongming Bird.

On this day at Tumen Fort, Chu Qiguang walked in familiarly, holding a little girl in his hand.

The fields outside the fort had been harvested long ago, and the spirits of the soldiers were different from the first time he saw them.

Because they were given enough food and money, as well as various rules and regulations set by Chu Qiguang.

Nowadays, the soldiers of Tumen Fort are strong and well-disciplined, and they have no problem forming teams to deal with some demons whose strength is below level 1 or level 2 on a daily basis.

Chu Qiguang walked all the way into the Tumen Fort. The soldiers saluted immediately when they saw it, and then looked curiously at the little girl in Chu Qiguang's hand.

The little girl was Zhou Yujiao. Because she had almost mastered the art of complementing humans and cats, she was simply taken by Chu Qiguang.

When the two came to the school ground, they saw 'honest Zhang San' and 'obedient Li Si' leading the team in training.

Chu Qiguang frowned and asked, "Where is Zhang Jitian? Shouldn't he be the one on duty today?"

Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other, and finally Li Si hesitated and said: "Master Zhang went to the city to drink."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Where is Ning Chigong?"

"Went to the city to drink."

"What about Chen Gang?"

"Went to the city to find them."

Chu Qiguang gritted his teeth, and the annoyance flashed in his eyes: "Go and call them back, and tell me I'm looking for them."

On the other side of the school grounds, Lei Yushu was practicing martial arts. He ran over excitedly after seeing Chu Qiguang.

After more than half a year of growth and practice, Lei Yushu's figure is now getting taller and taller, his thighs are slender and strong, and his skin has a healthy wheat color.

Although he was wearing men's training clothes, he still couldn't hide the dashing and heroic appearance unique to his daughter's family.

After more than half a year of hard training, she not only completely stabilized the third level of martial arts, but also had a tendency to hit the fourth level, showing the amazing talent that only the Eight Generals of Xinghan had.
