Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 145: Ranking on the Tianjiao Ranking
Each name made several people stunned for a moment. Looking at the names of those who were killed by Jiang Yue, the senior officials of Huichun Mansion all widened their eyes with horror on their faces.

"After solving the major case and beheading the criminals, Jiang Yue cleared the monsters in the water and drove away the monsters on land. No monsters were born in the nine counties, and the martial artists dared not cause trouble. Now a canal has been built to connect to Yuqing Lake, which can ensure the local water and soil safety for a hundred years."

The chief of the Third Division and the captain of the Demon Suppression Division fell silent after reading the letter from Pei Hu, with lingering surprise in their eyes.

Tread-tap-

A small flagman walked in quickly from outside, holding an exquisite scroll in his hand. After entering the yamen court, he walked straight to Pei Hu.

"I have met several adults."

"Master Pei, this is the latest list of Tianjilou's geniuses."

Xiaoqi placed the scroll in his hand in front of Pei Hu.

"Well, let's go down."

Pei Hu smiled and waved his hand, took the scroll, opened it with a snap, and the blood in his hand was stimulated. The scroll instantly emitted a golden light and projected a golden picture from mid-air.

Above the album are images of the geniuses, and below are their rankings and battle records.

Pei Hu, the three chiefs of the three departments, and the captain of the Demon Suppression Department all set their sights on the list of geniuses.

The blood and energy moved slightly, and the list of geniuses began to decline. Images of heroic geniuses flashed by one after another.

"Tsk, there are a lot of new faces on this season's Tianjiao Ranking."

Shen Yuanqing, the chief of the Political Department, sighed softly.

"Who says it isn't?"

The Demon Suppression Division Master said with a smile: "Once the Golden Mountain fell, the luck would dissipate. If the Great Zhou couldn't hold on to this luck, someone would naturally hold on to it. In troubled times, heroes emerge. These little guys are much scarier than we were when we were young."

"When you were young, that was two hundred years ago. I really envy you warriors, you have a long lifespan, unlike us Shinto monks, who have a short lifespan. No matter how much we do for the people, we can't escape death."

Shen Yuanqing sighed.

Pei Hu laughed from the side and said, "Isn't it said that being deified can prolong one's life? You Shinto monks are really enviable if you live as long as the emperor."

"It's useless. Among the billions of people in the world, how many can become officials? Among those who are officials, how many can be canonized as incense gods by the court?"

Shen Yuanqing shook his head and said, "Before the Yongjia Dynasty, there was talk of enshrining the Yin God, but it has been twenty years and there is no follow-up."

"Oh, it's good that it can still function normally."

The Demon Suppression Captain smiled.

As they chatted, they looked at the golden image in the air. The image was still descending rapidly. After a while, Pei Hu's blood and energy were drawn back and he stopped.

Specks of golden light gathered in the air to form a pattern.

On the pattern, Jiang Yue is sitting astride a white dragon horse, holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand and carrying a Mingwang bow on his back. He has sharp eyes and murderous aura, and blood is dripping from the sword.

The first impression this picture gives people is a strong murderous aura.

Below the pattern, there are a few lines of small words.

【Jiangyue】

[Position: Chief Patrolman of the Mountain Patrol Division of Huichun Prefecture, Yunzhou]

[Ranking: No. 842 on the Tianjiao List]

【Achievements:
In December of the 24th year of Yongjia, he killed the severely wounded Tiger Vanguard in the depths of Funiu Mountain.

In the same month, six third-level Shinto monks of the Beast God Sect and six yellow cattle monsters were killed in the depths of Funiu Mountain.

In January of the twenty-fifth year of the Yongjia reign, monks from three realms were killed in Yuqing County, Huichun Prefecture: Yuan Qinghai, Qiongyuan, and Lushou Chong.

In the same month, in Yuqing County, he killed the fourth-level elder Lin Chi of the Huode Sect and the fourth-level master of the Baiyun Sect.
In February of the twenty-fifth year of Yongjia, fifteen fourth-level masters including Kang Yuan, Kang Yuzhu, Wang Ming, and Yue Heng were beheaded.

On the same day, the Jade-faced Fox Qingjiu of the Beast God Cult was killed. 】

[Introduction: His disciple is Xu Chong from the Qimen Sect. His true realm is unknown. He has a strong physique, an extremely terrifying body, and his blood is a rare golden color.

His weapons are a three-pointed, double-edged sword and a Mingwang bow. The three-pointed, double-edged sword is a strange weapon, extremely thick and heavy, and extremely lethal. Anyone who is touched by it will be seriously injured, while anyone who is hit by it will die instantly.

The Ming Wang bow is made of the divine feathers of the Peacock Ming Wang, which can trigger five-colored divine arrows. It is powerful, and Jiang Yue has superb archery skills. 】

[Evaluation: A rising star in the Sky Patrol Department, powerful and murderous, but also caring for the people and loving them like his own children.]

After reading the contents on the Tianjiao Ranking, Pei Hu, the three chiefs, and the Demon-Suppressing Captain were all secretly shocked.

This record is really too impressive.

"No wonder this guy was able to pacify the nine counties so quickly, it was all his killing that earned him the credit."

Shen Yuanqing said with emotion: "Anyone who disobeys will be killed. In a chaotic place like the Nine Counties, this is indeed the most efficient way."

“The most important thing is to care for the people.”

The Demon Suppression Captain rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "There are many powerful people, but only a few can think about the people. To be evaluated by the Tianji Tower as caring for the people is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Ah."

Pei Hu nodded slightly, put away the list of geniuses, and looked at the few people quietly.

"Why are you looking at us like that?"

Shen Yuanqing was so angry at the thought of being fooled by Pei Hu that he immediately started to puff out his beard and glare.

The other people had the same expression and wanted to beat Pei Hu up.

"Cough cough."

Pei Hu smiled and said, "There is one thing you don't know."

"explain."

Shen Yuanqing urged, "This kid's amazing record has been revealed, what else can you hide? Tell me quickly, you just want to find a good job for your people, right? Isn't it okay for me to agree to it?"

"That's right, Pei Hu has too many thoughts and is unworthy of his position as a patrol captain."

Qi Yunhai, the demon-suppressing captain, joked.

"Well, I'll tell you then."

Pei Hu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "In December of the 24th year of Yongjia, Jiang Yue just started to learn martial arts and became Xu Chong's apprentice. It has only been three months since then."

Hearing this, all the powerful people present widened their eyes with looks of horror.

"what?!"

Shen Yuanqing was surprised and said, "No, in three months, he went from being an ordinary person to being able to kill four realms like slaughtering dogs? Where did you, the Patrol of the Sky, dig out this freak?"

The head of the Water Department, the head of the Agriculture Department, and the Demon-Suppressing Captain all opened their eyes wide, with expressions of shock on their faces.

In three months, even for someone with extraordinary talent, it would only take him five levels to go from being an ordinary person to becoming a warrior.

In the first stage, one has to re-refine the internal organs, and in the second stage, one has to start exploring the fountain of life. Both are extremely time-consuming. Even if one has extraordinary talent, it will take five or six years to pass these two stages. If one has less talent, it will basically take another fifty or sixty years.

And Jiang Yue only took three months.

This is no longer just talent, this is talent that is close to being incredible!

Pei Hu looked at the shocked expressions of the others and was very satisfied. After all, he was always shocked every time he received a message from Jiang Yue. Now he could finally let others experience this feeling. "Pei Hu, what do you mean..."

Shen Yuanqing came back to his senses and looked at Pei Hu.

Jiang Yue is such a talented person, it should not be as simple as promoting them from the mansion by Pei Hu.

Pei Hu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "My colleagues, we have worked together in Huichun Mansion for more than ten years, and we get along well. I will not hide some things."

"You said."

Hearing this, everyone became serious.

Shen Yuanqing waved his hand and issued a soundproofing decree, covering the courtroom so that no one could hear their conversation.

These few masters were considered to be at the top of Huichun Prefecture. Each of them had the strength of the sixth realm and were considered high-ranking officials. Their conversation was definitely not simple.

When the soundproofing decree was completely implemented, Pei Hu's expression became serious.

"Everyone."

Pei Hu tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically and said, "The Jinshan Mountain of the Great Zhou has collapsed. The seventy-two states are in chaos and wars are raging everywhere. Our Yunzhou is relatively good. There is only one Beast God Cult causing chaos everywhere, but we can suppress it for the time being."

The others listened attentively, waiting quietly for Pei Hu to get to the point.

"Places like Qianzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are ravaged by demons and monsters. They are so powerful that they have been forced to abandon several prefectures and counties. Countless people have been turned into hell on earth. And this is still a top-ranked continent."

Pei Hu said in a deep voice: "If the situation changes, our Huichun Mansion will be abandoned in Yunzhou. Imagine if one day we are ordered to abandon Huichun Mansion, how would you feel? Brother Qi and I are both warriors, and you, the head of the Third Division, are practicing martial arts with the blessing of incense."

At this point, everyone's faces became solemn.

Once the Great Zhou Golden Mountain collapsed and its luck dissipated, it was no longer like before, when an imperial edict could allow people to enjoy countless incense and luck, and local officials could use their luck to kill demons. If officials wanted incense and luck, they had to create facts and earn it from the people.

For example, after more than ten years of management of Huichun Prefecture, except for the nine counties, the situation in other counties is basically the same as that in Qing County. It is considered peaceful, and naturally there is a lot of incense and luck.

Even if they are promoted to other places later, they can still enjoy the achievements of Huichun Mansion.

If Huichun Mansion were abandoned and turned into a place of demons, all their efforts over the past decade would have been in vain.

Moreover, even if we don't talk about luck and achievements, people are not plants, who can be heartless? After serving as an official in Huichun Mansion for so many years, I have developed feelings.

"No one can predict the future situation. Perhaps Huichun Mansion will not be abandoned."

Pei Hu spread his hands: "But we still have to make preparations. At least we have to let Huichun Prefecture produce a frontier official and go to the court. We have reached the end of the road and need to train a new person. Jiang Yue is a good person, grateful, tough, hates evil, uses thunderous means to show the heart of a bodhisattva, and has excellent talent. He will definitely soar to the sky in the future. Why don't we help him?"

"Makes sense."

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing with what Pei Hu said.

After a long while, Shen Yuanqing, the head of the Political Department, said, "The situation is getting worse and worse. We should really make preparations early. How about this? Let's jointly recommend Jiang Yue to the state government. This can be regarded as a help on his road to success. I just don't know if it will succeed."

"It should be possible. After all, Jiang Yue's master is Xu Chong, so he still has connections."

Pei Hu smiled.

"Well, then let's mobilize all officials in the prefecture and county to sign the petition."

"So good."
-
Xizhou.

The desert is vast and the sun is high in the sky.

In this vast world, a figure dressed in the uniform of a mountain patrol officer is like a small boat, moving forward firmly.

His posture was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his steps were as steady as a mountain, and his face worn by wind and sand was like an ancient rock, revealing perseverance and vicissitudes. It was Jiang Yue's master Xu Chong.

-

With an eagle's cry, a huge falcon swooped down from the sky with a scroll in its mouth.

It’s the Tianji Tower list.

What is different from what Pei Hu and others saw is that this scroll contains not only the Heavenly Prodigies List, but also the Earthly List, the Heavenly List, and the Demons List.

Xu Chong opened the Earth List and looked at it for a while, his eyes fixed on an old man with a devil's face, then looked at the Demon List, and finally, as if to kill time, he drank water while looking at the Prodigy List.

"Oh?"

Soon, Xu Chong's gaze paused on Jiang Yue's portrait. After a light exclamation, he carefully looked at Jiang Yue's battle record.

As he watched, Xu Chong burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xu Chong was so happy that his laughter echoed in the empty desert, which was quite heroic.

"The martial arts that Erlang created are surprisingly powerful."

Xu Chong collected the scroll and laughed, "To kill a fourth realm warrior with a second realm warrior, there are not many people who can do it from ancient times to the present. I really have an extraordinary disciple!"

After expressing his feelings, Xu Chong continued to move forward.

He came here with only one purpose, to kill a big monster that was at the top of the monster list and provide resources for Jiang Yue.

This big monster is a spirit made from a precious medicine. Xu Chong has been hunting it for two months, from the Central Plains to the desert of Xizhou.

At the same time, fellow students far away from home also saw the latest quarter's list of geniuses.

Qing County, Yunzhou, Jingzhou, Xizhou, Yuanzhou, and places from all over the world were all connected together, and everyone looked towards the direction of Huichun Prefecture at the same time.
-
Qianzhou, the front battlefield.

Although it was daytime, the sky was dark and gloomy, demons were rampant, and the evil spirit almost covered the sun.

In the big tent.

Jiang's fourth uncle was wearing armor, with a light on, his face stern, and his eyes filled with uncontrollable fatigue.

In front of him were countless generals from the Demon Suppression Division. They were crowded together like a black mass, and each of them was seriously injured.

Fourth Uncle looked at the list of geniuses in his hand, and only after seeing Jiang Yue's record did his expression relax a little, and the sternness faded away.

He looked towards the direction of Huichun Mansion, his eyes full of longing.

"It's a pity that I have no control over my life and my life is in turmoil."

Fourth Uncle sighed, put away the Tianjiao Ranking carefully, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the support from Jingzhou? Is there any news?"

There was a deathly silence in the big tent, filled with despair.
-
More than half a month passed in a flash.

Jiang Yue woke up in the detention room of Yuqing County with a look of relief on his face.

By now, he had finally finished all the work in the nine counties.

In the nine counties, after the flood, many buildings needed to be rebuilt and farmland needed to be re-used and stimulated by laws.

Jiang Yue has to take care of many of these matters himself and is very busy every day.

However, seeing the increase in the power of incense and vows, Jiang Yue felt that it was worth the busyness. Up to now, the nine counties have all recovered their vitality, the people live and work happily, and everything is thriving.

"grown ups!"

The armless flag bearer Xiaowu hurried into the classroom and said anxiously, "Sir, officials from Yunzhou have come to inspect the nine counties. Please think of a solution quickly."
