Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 318, Changes in the County
"Master Jiu, we have to pass through the sphere of influence of several monsters on the way."
On the way, Peng Qiang kept studying the map and came over and said, "Of these two monsters, one is a fire snake tribe. They have been entrenched underground for many years and only come to the surface when they are looking for food."
"The other end is an earth bear. What's strange is, why is this earth bear not in the earth bear demon king's city?"
"There are many big demons on the way, but they live scattered around, and their cultivation levels range from the fifth to the third level of martial arts. On this road we are going to take, we will only encounter these two big demons, both of whom have cultivation levels of the third level of the demon way.
.”
"..."
Peng Qiang had many problems in his mind.
But Lu Jiuzhang and others don't know about these issues either.
The water in the Demon Realm is also very deep, and the relationship between the major demon clans and the demon clans is also intricate.
The scope of their strength is also staggered.
The divisions on this map are not very detailed.
Just circle a rough range.
"The Earth Bear Demon King City is different from the Huntuo Demon King City. I have an impression that it was probably one of the top 100 demon clans before, but was later squeezed out. Of course, its strength cannot be underestimated."
Little Fatty Zhou Zheng knew more, "The Earth Bear Clan has extremely strong defense."
When he said this, the little fat man Zhou Zheng glanced at Lu Jiuzhang.
If an ordinary warrior encounters Earth Bear, he will definitely not be a match for him, but if Lu Jiuzhang takes action, it's really hard to say.
The Lu Jiuzhang in front of him looked more like a monster than a monster. He was so powerful that he looked like an ancient ferocious beast.
His tempering method is also very simple and crude, forcibly absorbing the essence in the blood of monsters.
This kind of tempering method would probably cause an ordinary person to faint from pain.
Even if you absorb too much blood from a monster, you will eventually become cruel and violent. Being affected by the evil spirit in the blood of the monster, your whole person will become crazy.
"Brother Lu, you should use this method of tempering with the blood of monsters less in the future." Fatty Zhou Zheng said.
"It doesn't matter, I have the power of Confucianism and Taoism in my body to suppress it," Lu Jiuzhang said.
What is Confucianism and Taoism used for?
Specially designed to restrain evil spirits and demonic auras, no matter how much demonic beast blood is absorbed, it will not be able to affect Lu Jiuzhang.
"Then we must improve our Confucianism and Taoism, and we can't lag too far behind." Little Fatty Zhou Zheng reminded, "I roughly calculated that the Confucianism and Taoism should not be lower than the two realms of myself. When you reach the high level, especially the first level of martial arts
At that time, Confucianism and Taoism must be raised to the second level."
"Why worry so much? I'm still far from the first level of martial arts!"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
It seems that he is now at the fifth level of martial arts, but the road ahead is still long.
It's like upgrading by killing monsters. If you add up the experience points from level 1 to level 50, there will probably be more experience points required from level 99 to level 100.
In the later stages of martial arts, a huge amount of spiritual energy is required.
The aura of a fifth-grade martial artist is simply not enough.
Furthermore, there is a Kuixing Tower in Lu Jiuzhang's sea of consciousness, which suppresses all directions.
"That's right, there's no need to worry too much."
The little fat man Zhou Zheng smiled.
Whether it is him or Lu Jiuzhang, there is still a long way to go before reaching that level of cultivation, and they may not be able to reach it in their lifetime.
…
Nanxiang County, County Sheriff's Mansion.
The county governor Pei Yunzhang has been the county governor here for eight years and has managed the entire Nanxiang County without leakage.
Until last year, a sudden change gave birth to black fog, which filled the entire Nanxiang County.
After that, the county governor Pei Yunzhang lost control of the entire county.
Then, the Zhou Dynasty continued to send strong men over, dividing a considerable part of the power.
His position as county governor seemed to exist, but in fact it existed in name only.
Today, Pei Yunzhang, the governor of Nanxiang County, was unusually happy. He even smiled and said hello to his subordinates when he met them on the road.
Beside Pei Yunzhang, there was also a young man dressed in white who was dressed like snow.
This young master's strength is mysterious and unpredictable. We only know that he is very strong, but we rarely see him take action.
On weekdays, this young man in white clothes only came to see Pei Yunzhang occasionally and chatted for several hours.
In the past two days, the two of them have gotten closer and have been together all day long.
In the county governor's house, Pei Yunzhang called all the managers of the county and city to the main hall, saying that he had an order to be announced.
More than a dozen officers stood in the main hall, as well as county lieutenants and county magistrates who assisted Pei Yunzhang on a daily basis.
Most of these people have already taken refuge with Pei Yunzhang and are considered his confidants.
"Lord Sheriff, you are finally here!"
In the main hall, these people were already waiting impatiently.
But when they saw Pei Yunzhang walking in, they still put on smiles and moved forward to greet him.
"I've kept you waiting for so long!"
Pei Yunzhang smiled, walked up and sat on the grand master's chair in the main seat.
The young master in white clothes stood beside Pei Yunzhang.
"We are invited here this time to discuss a major matter related to the future of our county." Pei Yunzhang said slowly.
"Governor Pei, there seems to be something wrong with this matter."
The person who objected was the Jijiu manager standing at the end. This manager was not Pei Yunzhang's confidant, but a subordinate of a certain big shot in Jingzhao Mansion, and was placed here.
"Since we are discussing important matters in our Nanxiang County, why are outsiders here?" The wine official looked at the young master in white clothes behind Pei Yunzhang, his eyes full of vigilance, and said slowly.
"Hahaha, Xiang Jijiu is right." Pei Yunzhang laughed and said, "I forgot to introduce you to you, the young man following me is named Yang Wuyun, and he is now my personal bodyguard."
"As you all know, Nanxiang County is not at peace now, and there is a lot of chaos. As the governor of a county, it is not a big problem for me to ask a guard to follow me, right?" Pei Yunzhang said.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with the decision made by the Sheriff." Everyone in the audience agreed.
These people are Pei Yunzhang's confidants, so naturally they will not raise any objections.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Pei, of course there is something wrong with this!"
The wine minister continued to object, "Guarding is a private duty. Isn't it appropriate to appear on such an occasion? Mr. Pei has been the county guard for eight years. I believe he doesn't know the rules."
In front of everyone, the sacrificial wine engaged in refutation.
Behind Pei Yunzhang, the young master named Yang Wuyun in white clothes seemed to be angry and planned to take action.
"There's no rush, Young Master Yang will go down first, and I'll have a good talk with these people." Pei Yunzhang smiled and waved his hand.
Yang Wuyun in white exited the hall and stood outside the hall.
"Is everything going to be fine now?" Pei Yunzhang coughed twice, and then said, "Then, let's discuss the future of Nanxiang County."
"As you all know, since the Black Mist Ruins appeared, the area controlled by the County Sheriff's Mansion has been extremely limited. In addition, the Demon Slayer Division above the court and many government offices have sent people here, so our County Sheriff's Mansion exists in name only."
"But have you ever looked into the root cause of all this?"
Without giving everyone a chance to answer, Pei Yunzhang continued, "I think the root cause lies with the new emperor!" This chapter has been completed!
