Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 183 The conspiracy reappears
Yuan Qinghuan was bewildered and stared at Jiang Yue blankly, wondering how Jiang Yue was promoted directly from the rank of mountain patrol captain to the rank of inspector.

You should know that there are three requirements that must be met in order to become a state-level inspector.

The first is strong strength. Generally, only a sixth-level master can be competent for this job. After all, the inspectors need to put out fires everywhere and fill in the shortage of manpower. Without the strength of the sixth level, they cannot sit still in the factory.

The second is to have great achievements.

As for the third point, it is more important. The Inspector General is also known as the general's personal attendant. In fact, he is considered a confidant and needs to be appreciated by the general to become an Inspector General.

It was precisely because the conditions were harsh that Yuan Qinghuan was so surprised to see Jiang Yue become the Inspector.

"It's a long story."

Jiang Yue smiled.

"Well, this is really not the place to talk."

Yuan Qinghuan smiled and said, "Then wait for Lord Jiang to report on his work. You can come to Yuntianshui Tower tonight to chat. It will be a way to express your gratitude for meeting again after a long separation."

"So good."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and agreed happily.

At this time, the yamen runner had also checked Jiang Yue's official seal and other documents, and returned them to Jiang Yue, saying respectfully: "Sir, please enter the city."

As he spoke, the bailiff handed Jiang Yue another scroll.

"Sir, this is the geomancy map of Yunzhou City. You can take it. The Wutang Yamen is in the center of Yunzhou City."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yue cupped his hands, which made the yamen runner very excited. After all, not every high official was as kind as Jiang Yue.

Yuan Qinghuan led Jiang Yue into the city, showed him the way, and took him to the Wutang Yamen.

She was enthusiastic, beyond belief.

Along the way, Jiang Yue also witnessed the prosperity of Yunzhou City.

There are shops everywhere, carriages and horses are running like dragons, and there are countless towers, markets, restaurants and martial arts halls. The whole city looks like ancient Yangzhou.

At the same time, there are a large number of warriors. You can see several warriors when walking on the street for a while, and many of them even have the strength of the fourth realm.

Visitors from the martial arts world, merchants from other prefectures and counties, wandering wanderers, and roaming warriors all gather in Yunzhou City, which is one of the reasons why this place is so prosperous.

"Master Jiang, there are several magical places in Yunzhou City."

Yuan Qinghuan and Jiang Yue walked side by side, holding the horses, and said with a smile: "If you have time later, I can take you to see those magical places."

"What is this magical place?"

Jiang Yue asked curiously.

"This is related to the origin of Yunzhou City."

Yuan Qinghuan explained, "It is said that before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yunzhou City was a city in the sky. It was the dojo of an immortal named Yun Zhongzi. It was located in the clouds, so it was called Yunzhong City. Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty established Yunzhou, and Yun Zhongzi disappeared. The city fell to the ground and gradually became known as Yunzhou City."

"Yun Zhongzi, the immortal god? Is this a legend or is it true?"

Jiang Yue asked curiously.

"of course it's true."

Yuan Qinghuan casually bought some small jewelry and gave Jiang Yue a black jade hairpin. She continued, "This incident was recorded by the Great Zhou Opera Department and compiled into an opera. It must be true. And one of the several miracles that Lord Jiang and I talked about is related to Yun Zhongzi."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Yue did not refuse the hairpin handed to him by Yuan Qinghuan. He pinned it between his black hair and looked at Yuan Qinghuan quietly.

"This mysterious place is called the Forest of Murderous Steles."

Yuan Qinghuan pointed to the east and said with a smile: "To the east of Yunzhou City, there is a killing stele. It contains all the killing methods left by Yun Zhongzi. Although there are no immortal methods, there are many killing methods. Warriors can sit in front of the killing stele to comprehend the killing methods, and can also leave their own understanding of the killing methods on other inscriptions."

"Throughout the ages, I don't know how many masters have comprehended the Killing Stele. There are countless inscriptions left beside the Killing Stele, so it is called the Killing Stele Forest. It is a holy place for martial arts killing methods."

"The Killing Aura Monument is now controlled by the government. Ordinary warriors who want to comprehend the inscription on the monument must pay a certain fee. Of course, if they are government officials, there is no limit to the number of times they can do so."

Yuan Qinghuan was happy to explain to Jiang Yue and spoke very clearly.

"I see. What about the other wonders?"

Jiang Yue asked as he walked.

"There are several other mysterious places. One is called Yingwang Pavilion. It is considered a holy place for Shinto monks to practice. There are many famous poems and verses left there. If you study them carefully, you can increase your spiritual enlightenment."

Yuan Qinghuan followed Jiang Yue without stopping, and whispered, "There are also Red Light Alley, Jiuqu Township, City God Temple, Yunmeng Palace, and many other places, but they are all under the control of the government."

"I see. I'll have to take a closer look when I have some free time."

Jiang Yue smiled.

In fact, he was more curious about which famous building in Yunzhou City sang the best opera. However, if he said this, Yuan Qinghuan would probably think he was going to seek romance, so Jiang Yue kept it to himself for the time being.

The improvement of the God of Drama's destiny must not be neglected.

Because Jiang Yue speculated that the subsequent supernatural powers of the God of Play were most likely related to the divine eye between his eyebrows.

The two of them walked for about an hour before they arrived at the government office in the center of the city.

"Sir Jiang, I have resigned now, so it is not convenient for me to come in. I will just send you here."

Yuan Qinghuan pointed to the government hall in front and said with a smile: "Sir, don't forget that Yuntianshuilou will host a banquet for you tonight."

"Okay, I'll go."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly.

The government office in Yunzhou City was much larger than Jiang Yue had imagined. Not to mention anything else, the territories of the Water Department and the Agricultural Department alone were several times larger than the government offices of the prefectures and counties. The classrooms in the martial arts hall were endless, and the parade ground was astonishingly large.

Just a rough estimate shows that there are at least three to four thousand people on duty in this government office, both the civil and military departments. This is really astonishing.

Tread-tap-

Jiang Yue led the white dragon horse into the martial arts classroom.

The first thing you see is the training ground, where hundreds of small flags are training. There are also several times more constables and yamen runners who have not yet become small flags, practicing in the training ground, with special martial arts masters guiding them.

Behind the classroom is a separate courtyard similar to a "dormitory" for the martial artists in the martial arts hall to live in.

As soon as Jiang Yuefu came in, he attracted countless gazes.

These eyes were focused on Jiang Yue's official uniform. After seeing the dragon on his chest and the seven cloud banners, these eyes became filled with surprise, curiosity, and awe.

New Inspector?
It was obvious that the small flags all knew the high status of the Inspector, and they looked at Jiang Yue with respect.

Jiang Yue led the white dragon horse to the stable and asked Xuntian Xiaotian to stay beside the white dragon horse, while he strode into the most conspicuous and largest Xuntian Tower.

In the Heaven Patrol Tower, the Heaven Patrol General was sitting behind a wooden table, tapping his fingers quietly on the table. In front of him were five inspectors, eighteen mountain patrol commanders, and three Heaven Patrol Generals. The strength of the inspectors varied, and they were basically in the sixth realm. The mountain patrol commanders were also in the sixth realm. As for the Heaven Patrol Generals, they were in the seventh realm, just like the Ghost Sword Marquis before, whose official title was actually the Mountain Patrol General.

Jiang Yue knocked on the door and entered. Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yue.

This time the looks from the small flag generals outside were different.

Everyone present knew what Jiang Yue had done, and were also aware of the achievements he had made this time. Some admired Jiang Yue and lamented that he was a young genius, while others envied and jealous of Jiang Yue, thinking that he was lucky.

"Hmm? Inspector Jiang is here."

The Sky Patrol General laughed and said, "You came at the right time. Sit aside and listen together."

"Yes."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, found a chair, and sat in the corner of the Xuntian Tower, without having much contact with other people.

The Patrol General continued, "So, this time, Marquis Yan Yang died in our Yunzhou. Can we be sure that he died at the hands of the Beast God Cult?"

"That's for sure."

A sky patrol general stood up and said in a deep voice, "I am a good friend of Marquis Yan Yang. He came from Lizhou to visit me. He fought with the Nine-Headed Master King of the Beast God Cult and was killed. He asked me for help that day. This is the decree information I saved."

As he spoke, General Xuntian took out his official seal and played the recorded effects.

Within the influence, there was a terrifying and powerful figure with red flames burning all over his body, who was fighting with a nine-headed lion demon. All the surrounding trees were burned, and the terrifying destructive power razed everything around to the ground. In the end, the nine-headed lion defeated the red flame figure, killed him, and ate him into its stomach.

Jiang Yue was secretly shocked and extremely surprised.

The strength of a marquis is enough to influence the world on a small scale, which is really terrifying.

"Sir General, this is the photo."

The Sky Patrol General said in a deep voice: "Marquis Yan Yang was indeed killed by the Nine-Headed Lion King, but this battle was very strange and full of doubts."

"Um"

The general of Yunzhou stroked his beard and analyzed: "If I remember correctly, Marquis Yanyang has been in the Marquis realm for many years. He has not been able to break into the King realm for so long. In another ten years or so, his life span will begin to run out. But now his strength is still at its peak. Even if he can't beat the Nine-Headed Lion King, he can still escape. But he is full of determination to die in this battle. Why is that?"

Everyone else nodded, including Jiang Yue.

Because from the pictures just taken, Marquis Yan Yang had many chances to escape, and the Nine-headed Lion King would definitely not be able to stop him, but Marquis Yan Yang just kept fighting to the death, which was really weird.

You have to know that a strong man who has been granted the title of Marquis in the Seventh Realm is extremely difficult to kill unless one has overwhelming strength. The vitality of warriors at this level has reached an extremely terrifying level. If they are fighting against opponents of the same level, there are many battles that can only be decided after several days and nights. As for killing someone to death, that would require a long battle and is not something that can be accomplished in a few days.

During this period, Marquis Yan Yang had countless opportunities to escape, but he had no intention of escaping at all.

It was only when he was killed that he used the official seal to call for help, so they got this image.

"Go check if any of Marquis Yan Yang's descendants or family members have any connection with the Beast God Cult?"

The Yunzhou general ordered.

The Sky Patrol General immediately said, "General, I have already investigated. The Nine-Headed Lion King and Marquis Yanyang have no grudges against each other. They just fought like this for no reason, and it was a direct fight to the death. It's really strange."

"There is no hatred, just fight to the death"

The general of Yunzhou said in a deep voice: "Look again, does the Nine-headed Lion King have no intention of running away?"

"Yes."

The sky-patrolling general played it again to take pictures.

Everyone observed carefully and found that the Nine-headed Lion King seemed to have the same mentality as Marquis Yan Yang. He had no intention of escaping and just kept fighting. However, his strength was stronger, so there was no sign of disadvantage. No one thought about it that way just now.

Now that the general reminded them, everyone came to their senses.

The nine-headed lion is also fighting to the death!
Since the video only records half an hour before death, no one knows how the two started fighting.

"Well, a marquis died at the hands of the Beast God Cult. It's no small matter. What does Lizhou say?"

The Sky Patrol General asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, Lizhou is asking for help. They have the Wushengmu Cult causing chaos there. Their strength is even stronger than the Beast God Cult. Now they have lost a marquis. They are asking for our help."

"Sir, it seems that they don't intend to investigate the cause of Marquis Yan Yang's death, but we don't have enough manpower."

When the Sky Patrolling General said that there were not enough people, he glanced at Jiang Yue, and it was obvious that he had some opinions about Jiang Yue.

After all, Jiang Yue was very powerful, but he chose to take a sinecure, which made him very unhappy.

"Okay, Hun Tuo."

The Patrol General slapped the table and said, "People died here, there is no reason for us not to support them. As long as the Beast God Cult does not produce a new demon king, it will not cause any trouble. How about this, Hunduo Hou, you go to Lizhou to support them, and then ask the Demon Suppression Division for someone. If Lizhou is gone, it will soon reach our Yunzhou."

"Yes, my lord."

Huntuo Hou, also known as the Patrolling General, nodded respectfully.

The Patrol General continued, "As for the cause of Marquis Yan Yang's death, we have to investigate, even if we can't find out the cause. Inspector Jiang, you should go to the place where Marquis Yan Yang and the Nine-headed Lion King fought and investigate."

"I humble my position and take orders."

Jiang Yue nodded, and in his heart he exclaimed what a good guy he was.

It's said to be a sinecure, but it really is just idle work!
It's obvious that nothing can be found out from this investigation. Asking him to investigate is more like letting him travel around.

It's enough to just pretend.

"Okay, everyone, disperse. Go do what you need to do. Strengthen patrols and communication with the Demon Suppression Department. Beware of the Beast God Cult's conspiracy."

The Sky Patrol Commander waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone left, and in the end, only Jiang Yue remained in the pavilion.

"Jiang Yue, what do you think about this matter?"

The Sky Patrol General looked at Jiang Yue curiously. He was referring to the battle between Marquis Yan Yang and the Nine-headed Lion King.

"Well, these two are very powerful, but I can't guess the reason for the fight."

Jiang Yue has something to say.

"It's more than just very strong."

The Patrol General sighed, "Marquis Yanyang was once ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Pride List. After he was made a marquis, he was ranked ninety-seventh on the Earthly List. What a concept! Among all the marquis-making warriors in the Great Zhou, he is ranked ninety-seventh! With such strength, he suddenly did such an abnormal thing."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a list of geniuses, and geniuses under the age of thirty can be on the list. There is also a list of earthly prodigies, which is created for those who are to be granted the title of marquis, with a total of one hundred names. In addition to these, there is also a list of heavenly prodigies, which is created for those who are to be granted the title of king, with a total of fifty names. In addition to these, there is also a list of saints, which is created for those who are to be granted the title of king, with a total of twenty names.

Only the best in their respective fields can appear on these lists.

And now, it is really strange that a marquis ranked in the top 100 of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually went to seek death.
