Lizhou, the capital’s courtyard and study room.

"Dong dong dong"

The little ghost boy was extremely happy when he saw that there was no one else in the house, and he quickly knelt down on the ground with a "pop":

"Congratulations to my senior brother for acting as the governor of the state, taking charge of all the affairs of demons and gods in Lizhou, and becoming the real leader of Lizhou!"

"How big are you, number one?"

Chu Chen struck it on the head violently, but with his other hand he handed it a handful of incense.

There's nothing I can do about it, the kid is no longer what he used to be.

As a "little fairy boy who can relieve misfortune and bring good luck", its value has skyrocketed, and countless people offer incense to it every day. Now it is very proud, and it is not as easy to care for as before.

"Hey hey hey~"

The little devil took the incense with satisfaction and was very happy:

"I still smell the incense I got from kowtow, but I always feel uncomfortable holding the incense offered by others!"

When Chu Chen heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hehehe~ The little devil has a pure heart, no wonder the ear report magical power is so effective!"

Seeing the conversation between the master and the ghost in the house, layman Qingzhu couldn't help but have a deep smile on his face:

"Ling Xiao, what I said is right. In terms of real power, Fellow Daoist Bailu and Fellow Daoist Meng are far inferior to you. You are now the real leader in Lizhou."

Chu Chen, who was originally the supervisor of the Zhengsanpin Prefecture, is now fully in charge of the Lizhou Ghosts and Gods Department. His authority is not that one plus one equals two, but is far greater than two. He controls both the supervision and the Ghosts and Gods Department.

The real power in his hands suddenly overshadowed the nominal leader Lizhou Mu Menglu. It was no longer the "state capital management" and "state animal husbandry" dividing and ruling Yin and Yang, but the true dictatorship of the world.

Of course, the White Deer Immortal had also dominated Mumeng Road in Lizhou before, but he only had a transcendent status in the Immortal Court. Unlike Chu Chen now, he really had transcendent real power.

As long as Chu Chen thought about it, it would be easy to bypass Mumeng Road in Lizhou.

As soon as he thought of this, layman Qingzhu felt extremely emotional.

The memory of Chu Chen asking him for advice on Confucian classics in the imperial capital is still vivid in his mind. In just over ten years, that young man with a seventh-level cultivation has grown to his current height all of a sudden. It is really embarrassing.

"Ling Xiao, you are my immediate boss now."

"Sir, please don't make fun of me!"

When Chu Chen saw layman Qingzhu joking, an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he quickly begged for mercy:

"How can I be the top leader? I am a temporary errand and have to work hard!"

Layman Qingzhu smiled and did not continue to joke, but his expression became serious:

"Ling Xiao, although this is a temporary job, it is an excellent opportunity for you. I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Bailu will accept your favor and recommend it to the Immortal Court. As long as you help Fellow Daoist Bailu exterminate the witches and accomplish this,

If you make great achievements, the follow-up path will be smooth."

Although it is just an "expedient act" at the moment and the Immortal Court will have other arrangements in the future, to a certain extent, this is also a recognition of Chu Chen from the Celestial Court.

Now that this has happened and he has made great contributions, Chu Chen's promotion to "Prefectural Governor" is probably a matter of course. Either he will drop the word "agent" and become the de facto Lizhou Governor, or he will be transferred to other states and counties to manage one area, which will lead to great success.

Show your arms and legs.

"Sir, I understand."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, this time it was indeed Brother Bailu who reciprocated the favor and gave him a chance to perform.

In fact, he is also the most suitable candidate.

With him acting as the governor of the prefecture, he will gather the power of the Prefectural Supervision Department and the Department of Ghosts and Gods to coordinate resources and increase the efficiency of the witch hunt by several percent. Once completed, it will be a win-win situation for all parties.

Precisely because of this, layman Qingzhu took this matter very seriously and came to him personally afterwards to discuss the witch hunt with him.

About two hours later, layman Qingzhu returned home.

"Sure enough, the Ziwei Sect still supports me!"

Chu Chen couldn't help but smile. Previously, he tried his best to help the White Deer Immortal. There were rumors circulating within the Ziwei Sect, doubting his position.

Before, he didn't care at all and didn't care.

Facts have proved that even small gossip occasionally cannot be brought to light. At the critical moment, the superiors are more awake than anyone else, and the support they deserve is indispensable.

As the head of the Taoist temple, the matter of suppressing witchcraft is not under the jurisdiction of layman Qingzhu. The reason why he is so active is that on the one hand, he is concerned about the "teacher-disciple relationship" and secondly, layman Qingzhu is from the Ziwei sect and belongs to this group.

The veteran Jie Ziwei can be regarded as representing the Ziwei sect this time, giving him practical and powerful support.

All the scheming and fighting on the mountaintops are nothing compared to absolute strength.

In the next few days, Chu Chen gradually took over and took control of the State Ghosts and Gods Department, integrated the resources of the Ghosts and Gods Department and the Supervision Department, and made efforts to encircle and suppress the Litian evil witches in the territory.

After two months, a lot of gains were made, and more than 20 evil temples for obscene worship were destroyed one after another.

The witch hunt has been going on for nearly two years, and it has now entered deep water. All that is left are hard-to-gnaw bones. It is not easy to achieve this kind of harvest. It can be said that Chu Chen made some plans and commanded a state to achieve some achievements.

However, Chu Chen was still a little dissatisfied.

We failed to kill the main body of Li Tian and the three remaining sub-temples. No matter how much we tried, it would be of no avail and we could not touch the foundation of the Li Tian Divine System.

"Senior brother, why don't we go out to cut down mountains and destroy temples today?"

"No, if you let them take action on a few small temples, it will give them a chance to practice Qigong."

Chu Chen waved his hand and cast a spell to seal the ban outside the hospital:

"Little devil, senior brother has something to do today, you go outside to protect me!"

"Oh~ ok!"

When Chu Chen saw the little devil leaving, he did not hesitate and sat cross-legged. The [Five Color Dream Dragon] in his body transformed into the spirit [Red Dragon Demon Lord] and used [Luo Gui Ling] to communicate with the demonic realm outside the territory.

The Luo Guizhen Demon Society regularly convenes a group of demons to discuss important matters and coordinate all parties.

Among them, there were the extraterrestrial demons from Luo Gui's hometown, as well as representatives of the Demon Court. The demon giants from all over the eight southwest states discussed the situation and exchanged information, which was quite lively.

Chu Chen had obtained a lot of information from it before, so every time he participated, he would never be absent.

This time Chu Chen was delayed because of something, so it was a little late. At this moment, [Luo Guixiang] was constantly talking, and the discussion was extremely intense.

Coincidentally, after the group of demons exchanged views on the situation in the eight southwest states, the focus of discussion was on Lizhou. They were extremely worried about the situation in Lizhou and worried that the Litian Witch God would not be able to hold on for long.

"Once Litian Witch God is destroyed, I'm afraid our Ancient Witch God Alliance will be next."

"Not only your Ancient Witch God Alliance, Dachang's power in Lizhou has been consolidated. The eight states in the southwest have become a monolith, and the entire southwest will change."

"indeed"

In [Luo Guixiang], all the big guys in the demonic world were in panic. Every word you said, I complained, and their morale fell to the bottom.

Chu Chen was secretly happy to see it and was in a good mood.

He can be regarded as having a share of the credit here. If everything goes well, he may very well be the person who "changes the sky in the southwest."

Stirring up a storm with one hand gave him a sense of accomplishment.

However, his joy did not last long. As he watched the demons discuss, his expression soon changed drastically.

There is no other reason. When everyone's morale was at its lowest and most pessimistic, Demon Lord Dongji stood up and boosted morale.

"Litian Witch God will definitely make a comeback in the near future and reverse the situation in one fell swoop."

After returning from the [Luogui Conference], Chu Chen sat on the throne of the governor, his brows furrowed.

Could it be that Litian Witch God got help from the Demon Court?

Chu Chen was not surprised that Li Tian Witch God colluded with the Demon Court. When he was desperate, he could only seek refuge with the Demon Court. On the other hand, the Demon Court was also willing to help Li Tian Witch God fight with the Celestial Court. They had common interests.

It was expected that both parties would work together.

The only suspense is how much help the Demon Court can give to the Witch God Li Tian.

The Demon Lord of Dongji keeps saying that Litian Witch God can make a comeback

Chu Chen has known the Demon Lord of the East for many times and knows him very well. When this Demon Lord was at his peak, he was an extremely powerful man who fought with the Dragon King of the East China Sea in the abyss of the East China Sea.

Things are extremely not simple.

"It's not good, Brother Bailu may be in danger!"

Chu Chen immediately thought that the little devil's ear message foreshadowed the impending disaster of the "White Deer Immortal".

Immediately, without delay, he took out the [Lizhou Supervision Order] and contacted the envoy of the Demon Academy, "Great Elder Chongxu".

After ten or so breaths.

Chu Chen's expression changed slightly, and he went out without saying a word.

"Brother, why did you come out so quickly?"

Seeing his senior brother acting in a hurry, the little kid quickly greeted him:

"Brother, what happened?"

"You crow's mouth, I got caught in your omen again."

Chu Chen looked serious and didn't say much. He grabbed the little devil, shrank him to the ground and disappeared.
