Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 74 - 73: Loyal and Righteous Yuan Wansong

"Uncle Chen!"

"So this matter has nothing to do with the sect?" Yuchi asked loudly, hugging Chen Guangsheng’s bear-like waist.

Previously, he thought such matters were inevitably related to the sect, specifically involving the greasy Yun Chun.

While fishing for shrimps, Yuchi pondered how much the Cloud Mountain Sect had offered.

He could give double.

After all, according to normal logic, villagers wouldn’t betray the Twelve Linked Huts, nor the merchant guild.

Only if the Cloud Mountain Sect offered a big sum would they act this way.

This tactic is understandable; it’s all about backstabbing, not a direct confrontation.

I was all set to slowly investigate this path, and now you tell me it has nothing to do with the sect?

What are you doing?

The horses, infused with some Spiritual Qi by Chen Guangsheng, were galloping steadily, accompanied by Uncle Tiger.

"Yes."

"The sect’s reaction has always been sluggish; they train while doing business, slow to respond."

"Do you really think these people could come up with such a plan?"

"Especially in such a short time?"

Chen Guangsheng turned his head to Yuchi and said.

Big brother, watch ahead, the horses are fast, don’t crash, Yuchi nervously replied, "How is this related to demonic creatures then?"

Based on Chen Guangsheng’s earlier statement, he mentioned it was the work of demonic creatures.

But to Yuchi, apart from the demonic human Yun Chun, he’s never seen what real demons look like.

Moreover.

"Aren’t demons in the lower three states?"

Based on Yuchi’s understanding.

There are almost no demons in the first six states of the Nine Provinces, with so many sects around, demons have no living space.

Only in the lower three states are there plenty of demons.

And realistically speaking, if demons were to come, how could they command all the villagers?

Most crucially, how could they control so many villagers without even a single soldier or tribe?

No traces of battle?

How?

Can these demons control minds?

Could the demon be named "Yuri"? And have a catchphrase, "Share your will with me"?

Yuchi didn’t believe it.

"Don’t worry about the specifics, you’ll understand once you’re onsite, but let me warn you."

"Once a place starts showing signs of demonic creatures, other regions need to conduct thorough demon screenings."

"The merchant guild might need to spend some gold and silver for it."

Yuchi completely didn’t grasp what Chen Guangsheng was saying.

The old enigma master.

He only understood the last sentence, which involved spending money.

For everything else, it’s about making the guild spend money?

Yuchi was very unwilling.

He dedicated so much to the guild, he couldn’t dismiss money like dirt.

Moreover, the appearance of demons—it’s handled by the Demon-slaying Bureau, isn’t it? What does it have to do with the merchant guild?

What was that saying?

You’re supposed to catch Lu Xun, what does Zhou Shuren have to do with this?

Why should our guild pay?

Wasn’t our tax silver, wasn’t the annual ten thousand taels of silver given for nothing?

Do people really think the guild is easy to bully?

Yuchi said nothing, his mood gradually worsened; the feeling of being led around was really uncomfortable.

Yet he could only smile.

No matter what, he could only go to the site to check things out, at least figure out why the demons could reach such a level.

...

Very soon.

The horses galloped off the official road, guided by Chen Guangsheng, into a side path.

They went from the national road to the county road.

The quality of the road was decent, the dirt road was packed solidly.

After twisting and turning, during the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.

Yuchi saw a village ahead over Chen Guangsheng’s broad shoulder.

The village was hidden in the forest.

Surrounding it, many dark-clad samurai could be seen, carrying nine-ringed sabers at their waists, completely sealing off the small village.

In the center of the village, a string of villagers were tied together.

Yuchi immediately recognized some villagers wearing Twelve Linked Huts attire.

Indeed, they’ve found them!

But where are the demons? Eaten? This place seems to have only people.

Xun Xian arrived beside the horse, extending her hand.

Yuchi nodded, took her hand, dismounted, now needing to appear as a frail young lord.

"They are people from the Demon-slaying Bureau, I’m not sure if Chen Guangsheng mentioned this to you en route." Xun Xian gazed at the dark-clad group.

"Mostly." Yuchi looked at the others.

He walked over with a smile, bowing, and the men casually returned the gesture.

"Yuchi." Yuchi extended his hand again.

"Yuan Wansong." The man feigned not seeing Yuchi’s outstretched hand, calmly holding onto his waist-dangling nine-ringed saber.

Yuchi looked puzzled at Xun Xian.

Xun Xian covered her face.

She swore never to speak carelessly again; Yuchi must have heeded her words, assuming the Demon-slaying Bureau folk were sentimental.

So is this sentimentality?

"Poisonous Milk" Yuchi understood, didn’t bother with such trivial matters, his hand smoothing over his hairstyle.

"What’s the current situation?" Yuchi asked.

He could already see the villagers, about a hundred or so, the numbers were quite large.

But now they were all imprisoned in the village center.

Also visible were villagers with broken legs, lying on the ground, moaning softly.

Xun Xian began explaining.

The general situation went like this.

The Demon-slaying Bureau got wind that a small batch of demons had gathered here, so they rushed over.

At the same time, she and Chen Guangsheng also arrived here, upon investigation, they confirmed these hundred or so were the missing individuals.

"So where are the demons?" Yuchi was continually puzzled.

His eyes darted around; this was just a very typical village.

The village was well hidden, but it was just a village, so where are the demons?

Could they have already been killed?

That would be a pity, he hadn’t yet seen what demons truly looked like.

"The demons are right in front of you." Xun Xian said, rolling her eyes.

"Right in front of me." Yuchi was perplexed, had he been spending too many nights with Qingzhu recently, causing blurred vision?

"They’re them." Yuan Wansong couldn’t stand it anymore, speaking from a yard away.

Seems like he’s a typical young lad, so typical he doesn’t even know what demons look like.

Alright.

Seeing as your relations with the Celestial Capital Department and the Defense Department are good enough, it wouldn’t be impossible to show you demons’ true forms right here.

"Bring someone."

Yuan Wansong shook the nine-ringed saber at his waist.

The rings clanged loudly.

Immediately, two more people from the Demon-slaying Bureau walked towards the villagers.

"Watch carefully, our little lord." Yuan Wansong didn’t hide his disdain.

Yuchi frowned, watching the actions of these two from the Demon-slaying Bureau.

They approached the crowd, and right before Yuchi’s eyes, one of them sliced straight at a villager’s neck.

Swift execution.

The nine-ringed saber clattered, a head suddenly flew into the air.

The head tumbled and rolled far away.

Blood splattered.

"Damn your mother!"

"Are you freaking insane?!" Yuchi’s eyes turned red instantly.

He hadn’t said a word, yet these Demon-slaying Bureau people simply hacked someone?!

In broad daylight, hacking people directly!

To what terrifying level had the authority of this world reached?!

Isn’t there anyone to manage this?

Not to mention his current cultivation, there were the Celestial Capital Department and the Defense Department people right nearby!

This was committing a crime in front of others?!

And the target was our guild people?!

"Hey hey hey, control yourself, lest our esteemed young lord gets killed by demons." Yuan Wansong looked at Xun Xian.

Xun Xian understood, reached out and grabbed Yuchi’s arm, holding him in place.

"Don’t rush."

"Check the situation first, the first time I saw such a thing, it was like this too."

"But trust me."

"I’m not from your side, but I’m not a bad person either."

Xun Xian looked seriously at the visibly agitated Yuchi, "That’s what you said to me."

Yuchi was silent.

His gaze only moved to the front, and then he realized something was wrong!

Because...

Why were the other villagers so calm?!
