Qianjiang Prefecture had beco such a ss that Han Zheng initially thought Wan Zhongshan was incapable, but now he realized it was unfair to bla him.
Although Qianjiang Prefecture was a large State Mansion within Southern Mountain, it didn't have the capacity to accommodate so many people from the Martial World.
To keep these Martial World people in check, the headquarters would need to send at least two to three hundred Xuanjia Guards to suppress them.
But the headquarters certainly didn't have so many idle Xuanjia Guards, as Wan Zhongshan had been maintaining order by himself for many years.
Now that he thought about it, this elder really had it tough.
Han Zheng's thod of using killing to stop the chaos was the simplest but also the most effective.
Since there wasn't enough power to watch over those Martial World people, they would make them too afraid to cause further trouble.
Fang Jueming had over fifty n under him, and these n were scattered throughout the various districts of Qianjiang Prefecture to monitor them.
Once trouble was spotted, they would imdiately transmit the ssage, and then Han Zheng and Su Wuming would handle it.
At the mont, those top sects hadn't arrived in Qianjiang Prefecture yet.
Those top sects wouldn't co this early. They always tid their arrival to be last at the scene.
Therefore, for those other loose cultivators or small sect disciples, Han Zheng and Su Wuming could completely handle them.
With their strength, not to ntion those Martial Artists from the Xuan Gang Realm, even if Quasi-Masters from the Dan Sea Realm appeared, it was still uncertain who would win or lose.
About half an hour later, a bird's screech ca from the sky, and a majestic Hai Dongqing descended with a note tied to its leg.
Fang Jueming glanced at the note and said to Han Zheng, "Mr. Han, in Jing'an Square of South City, three Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artists have started a fierce battle, destroying half of a tavern and already harming innocent lives."
Han Zheng looked at Su Wuming, who imdiately picked up the Coiling Dragon Spear and said gravely, "I'll go."
Three Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artists didn't require Han Zheng's intervention. Su Wuming could handle them by himself.
After Su Wuming left, Han Zheng, sowhat curious, asked, "Does the Demon Departnt of Qianjiang Prefecture always use Hai Dongqing to deliver ssages?"
Fang Jueming nodded and said, "Master learned the secret technique of training Hai Dongqing years ago when he was a soldier in Liaodong. After coming to Qianjiang Prefecture, he even modified the secret technique and fed the Hai Dongqing with a variety of Spiritual dicines to increase their speed and endurance.
Our State Mansion Demon Cleansing Bureaus don't have an Array for ssage transmission. Although signal fireworks are sufficient in range, they cannot convey detailed information.
These Hai Dongqings, nurtured with Spiritual dicines, are extrely fast and can cross a workshop's distance in an instant. They are very handy."
"Why hasn't the headquarters adopted this good thod?" Han Zheng inquired.
Fang Jueming gave a wry smile and said, "The thod has already been provided to headquarters, but Hai Dongqing are hard to obtain. People in Liaodong regard Hai Dongqing as divine beings, and they are already rare in production. My master could obtain these few Hai Dongqing because he had good relationships with the locals during his military service in Liaodong."
Han Zheng nodded, understanding that this was essentially a form of Beast Taming Technique.
While they were speaking, Su Wuming had already rushed to Jing'an Square at top speed.
The Xuanjia Guard stationed there hurriedly said to Su Wuming, "Lord Su, the troubling Martial Artists are inside Spring Light Tower.
The three involved are all Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artists. One is the loose cultivator Zhong Wenqi from Qianjiang Prefecture, and the other two are the Li brothers from the neighboring Yong'an Prefecture, Li Tianzhi and Li Tianxiong."
Before the Xuanjia Guard could elaborate further, Su Wuming nodded and walked directly toward Spring Light Tower.
Spring Light Tower was not the largest tavern in Qianjiang Prefecture, but it was still five stories high.
By that ti, Spring Light Tower had already been half destroyed. The proprietor was on the verge of tears, feeling like he had bad luck.
Two of his workers were also affected, and it seed they wouldn't survive; the cost of their bereavent would have to be borne by him as the proprietor.
Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artists had trendous destructive power. Even at the early stage of Xuan Gang, the release of their Gang Qi could span several yards and easily demolish a building.
Therefore, what really troubled Wan Zhongshan was these Xuan Gang Realm Martial Artists freely unleashing their power within Qianjiang Prefecture, as there weren't enough Demon Sweeping Captains to suppress them.
At that mont, amidst the ruins of Spring Light Tower, Zhong Wenqi and the Li brothers were still battling.
Facing two against one, Zhong Wenqi was temporarily at a disadvantage, but he had not yet been defeated.
Seeing the people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau arrive, the three imdiately stopped fighting.
Zhong Wenqi was a local from Qianjiang Prefecture and had so fear of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
Li Tianzhi and his brother Li Tianxiong, however, were from Yong'an Prefecture, a small State Mansion without a Garrison Captain, just a Demon Sweeping Colonel in charge.
The Demon Sweeping Colonel's strength was diocre, so the Li brothers did not normally take him seriously; even now, having coming to Qianjiang Prefecture, they were not much afraid of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
"Who just injured the innocent bystanders?"
Su Wuming glanced silently at the three n and spoke calmly.
Li Tianxiong snorted, "So what if it was ? Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Once I'm done with this insolent fool, not to ntion those two waiters, we brothers can afford to pay even for the entire tavern!
You from the Demon Cleansing Bureau better not interfere, just stand aside and watch. This is a personal grudge between and this guy; don't ddle!"
The Li brothers had quite a few properties in Yong'an Prefecture, let alone breaking one tavern, they could afford to pay for ten.
As for the two waiters affected and killed by them, they were even less regarded by them.
So of the lazy farmhands in their Spirit dicine Plantation were beaten to death every year, weren't ten or so killed?
How would they know to work hard without a few deaths?
Li Tianxiong didn't think he was provoking the Demon Cleansing Bureau at all.
He was even offering compensation, giving enough face to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, what more did they want?
"Compensation is not enough, murder requires a life for a life, debts need to be paid, but when you kill, a life must be offered."
Su Wuming expressionlessly raised his Coiling Dragon Spear, pointing it towards Li Tianxiong.
Li Tianxiong was taken aback, and before he could get angry, Su Wuming had already thrust his spear, in an instant, the Gang Qi roared on the Coiling Dragon Spear, and the Black Dragon scread!
The montum of that thrust was shocking, causing Li Tianxiong to suddenly feel an overwhelming killing intent rushing toward him, making his whole body shudder.
In the next mont, Li Tianxiong fiercely raised his long sword, trying to block the attack with all his Gang Qi.
But the seemingly thick Sword Gang appeared as fragile as paper under Su Wuming's thrust.
Instantaneously, Li Tianxiong's Sword Gang in front of him was torn apart, his long sword shattered instantly, and his whole body was directly penetrated by Su Wuming's spear!
Su Wuming lifted Li Tianxiong's corpse with the spear, and threw it aside as if throwing a dead dog.
The bystanders watching were instantly stunned.
Li Tianxiong, after all, was an early-stage Xuan Gang Realm expert, having so reputation in the area, yet now he was just pierced to death by Su Wuming's spear, a show of strength so excessive it was terrifying.
"Big brother!"
Li Tianzhi's eyes reddened as he roared and charged towards Su Wuming, his long sword slashing furiously.
Su Wuming's Coiling Dragon Spear crashed down suddenly, its montum like splitting the heavens, instantly smashing Li Tianzhi's long sword to pieces, leaving his hands dripping with blood.
Then with a flick of his spear, a thrust followed by a lift, he pinned Li Tianzhi to the ground, where he instantly lost his life.
The Li brothers, who used to dominate Yong'an Prefecture, were so easily killed in a few moves, their speed so fast that onlookers could hardly react.
Su Wuming then turned his gaze to Zhong Wenqi and said expressionlessly, "They killed and have paid with their lives; you owe money."
"I'll pay, I'll pay right now!"
Without another word, Zhong Wenqi pulled out a sizable amount of gold, silver, and jewels from his Qiankun Bag and stuffed them into the hands of the Spring Light Tower's manager, so of which were even Spirit Crystals.
"That's enough, truly enough!"
The manager of Spring Light Tower was also stunned; these goods were enough for him to open three more Spring Light Towers.
Zhong Wenqi was terrified to the extre, afraid of ending up like the Li brothers, pierced through by a spear from Su Wuming.
After resolving the turmoil, Su Wuming turned and walked away.
But the black reflection shimring on his Purple Gold Sky Wolf Armor sent a chill through everyone's hearts.
