Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 218 The Inside Story of the Competition
The middle-aged man was instantly kicked several feet away.
Lu Jiuzhang stepped forward and stepped on his abdomen.
"Disrespect to the priesthood is punishable by death!"
Lu Jiuzhang shouted sharply.
At this time, the middle-aged man lying on the ground discovered that Lu Jiuzhang was holding a knife in his left hand and a yellow scroll in his right hand.
"This...is this an imperial edict?"
The middle-aged man was surprised.
Lu Jiuzhang opened the imperial edict directly.
A faint coercion enveloped everyone.
This is the luck of the royal family.
The most noble luck in the Zhou Dynasty.
Above the scroll, there seemed to be a golden dragon about one foot long soaring.
"Deserving of death!"
Lu Jiuzhang established his power in front of everyone.
The frost blade in his hand was slashing downwards.
"Wait a minute!"
Above the main hall, a figure floated down.
The man held it up with one hand, and a burst of spiritual power lifted the Frost Sky Blade.
Lu Jiuzhang exerted his strength. Even though the sword split the spiritual power, another spiritual power was immediately added from below to hold up the Frost Sky Blade.
"Director Lu, Chen Yuzhang is wrong to kill the demon envoy. You have a lot of them, so don't argue with him."
The figure said slowly.
The man who spoke had an unkempt beard, and there were some gray hairs on his crown.
"I hate people telling me not to worry about things the most."
Lu Jiuzhang was dissatisfied.
It’s a very uncomfortable feeling to be interrupted halfway through establishing your authority.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The man said, "I am Zhou Dongfei, the deputy director of the Beilu County Demon Slaying Department, and I am acting as the director."
It turned out to be the deputy director of the county's Demon Slaying Department.
His rank is higher than Lu Jiuzhang's.
"Then I will just wait for Director Zhou to give me a satisfactory answer."
Lu Jiuzhang took back the imperial edict.
With this move, no one in the entire county and city's Demon Slaying Department would dare to go against Lu Jiuzhang.
Including the man lying on the ground in front of him, Chen Yuzhang, who claimed to be the Demon Slayer of the County Demon Slayer Division.
It is estimated that he also wanted to compete for the position of director of the Demon Slaying Department of the county, so he kept targeting Lu Jiuzhang.
On the surface, there was a great scholar Xu Shi behind Lu Jiuzhang. He did not dare to take action, so he could only adopt such despicable methods and find some people to cause trouble for Lu Jiuzhang.
But how did he know that Lu Jiuzhang had a bad temper?
No matter what your excuses are, I will try my best to defeat you and knock you down before I can reason with you.
…
In the main hall.
Director Zhou sat on a high position, "Director Lu, are you here to participate in the selection of director? This time, the selection of director of the County Demon Slaying Department, according to the opinion of the chief director, is to focus on younger warriors.
Martial arts level seven or above"
"After we, the older warriors, have dealt with these matters, we will be transferred to the three southern counties to assist in the suppression of demons."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "Among the candidates participating in the selection this time, are there any worthy opponents?"
This is the most important thing.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't have many news channels.
Zhao Yuru, the head of Qianji Tower, was here before, so he could go to Qianji Tower to get some clues.
But Zhao Yuru returned to Jingzhao Mansion.
Lu Jiuzhang was not familiar with Qianji Tower in Beilu County.
If you go forward rashly, the other party will probably make a big noise.
After thinking about it, let’s ask Director Zhou.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the people in Beilu County's Demon Slaying Department. The person who had the most potential to compete for the position of director was Chen Yuzhang, the one you just defeated."
"Since you have defeated him, you don't have to worry about the Beilu County Demon Slaying Department."
"What you need to pay attention to are the people from the Demon Slayer Department in other counties, as well as the strong men from some sects!"
Someone from the Demon Slayer Division in another county?
Are there any strong men from the sect?
"Can people from those sects also participate?"
Lu Jiuzhang was puzzled.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't even know the people from the sect.
Their strength varies.
The most important thing is the people who use the sect. Can the Demon Slayer General Secretary be assured?
"We don't need to worry too much about this." Director Zhou shook his head, "Those sects are all selected. The larger sects include Shenwu Sect, which is one of the three sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"These three sects have close ties with the royal family."
"Then there are some sects. The Demon Slayer General Director must have investigated clearly."
"You previously conquered some sects and allowed people from those sects to join the Demon Slayer Division. You may have given some inspiration to the adults above."
"I guess they also want to tie the Demon Slayer Division and the sect together so that the sect members can contribute to the Demon Slayer Division."
"The Demon Slaying Departments in many counties will face personnel changes. I estimate that the directors of the Demon Slaying Departments in most counties will still be people from the Demon Slaying Departments, but a small number of the directors of the Demon Slaying Departments in the counties will be left to those
People from the sect,”
"We have to let people taste some sweetness. We can't let the horses run and not let them eat grass."
"A large number of strong men from the Demon Slaying Division have been transferred, and the interior is empty. If the Demon Clan takes this opportunity to attack, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
The worries of the people above are not without reason.
Lu Jiuzhang still vividly remembers what happened in the mountains of northern Xinjiang.
If it weren't for the phantom of Master Xu that Lu Jiuzhang invited to help in the end, I'm afraid the entire army would have been wiped out.
Even the entire Beilu County will be attacked by monsters.
"Does Director Zhou know anything about Shenwuzong?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked again.
"not sure!"
Zhou Dongfei shook his head, "But I think the disciples sent by those sects will definitely not be weak. You have to be completely sure that they may send warriors of the sixth level of martial arts to participate."
"If that's the case, you'll be under a lot of pressure."
"In this competition, no external force can be used. The sword on your body is very strong, but if you don't use the sword, how much chance do you think you have of winning against a sixth-level martial arts warrior?"
I really don’t know what Lu Jiuzhang’s chances are of winning.
All we can do is give it a try.
"Thank you, Director Zhou, for your advice. I wonder which secret cultivation room is the best in Beilu County?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"There is a training hall called [Mu Gu Dao Hall] in the east of the city. It is considered the best training hall in Beilu County. You can go there to practice." Zhou Dongfei said, "If you don't have enough training resources, you can come to the Demon Slayer Department to get them.
use."
"Our Beilu County Demon Slayer Division will do our best to support you in participating in this competition. You represent our Beilu County."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Director Zhou!"
After that, Lu Jiuzhang left.
After Lu Jiuzhang left, a figure hurriedly walked in.
Who else could this person be if he wasn't Chen Yuzhang?
"Father!"
Chen Yuzhang whispered, "That guy Lu Jiuzhang is so arrogant. Just because he is Master Xu's disciple, is he really lawless?"
"enough!"
Zhou Dongfei shouted coldly, "What did I tell you to do things as calmly as possible? How did you do it? Why did you provoke him rashly?"
"I……"
Just as Chen Yuzhang was about to defend himself, he was interrupted by Zhou Dongfei, "I have three sons. Among these three sons, you are the most talented in martial arts. Although you are an illegitimate son and you don't even have my last name, how much do I hold on to you?"
