The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 332: Those in power! Do things, not fame! (5.4k chapter, tears welled up in my eyes!)

Since he was involved in the matter of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, he had to write a report with detailed explanations and send it to the Weishui Pacification Office. He killed three Xuanguang elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, which was a great achievement. If he could be successfully certified, even if the high-level officials of the Weishui Pacification Office had different thoughts, it would be difficult to stop his promotion, and his position would definitely be raised.

However, this matter was complicated by Cao Yingxiong's robbing of the credit. Although Cao Yingxiong is dead now, he did not see Zhao Zhiting when he attacked and killed him, or he had gone to the Qiankun Division to report his credit.

With the Qiankun Division involved, it might not be easy for him to successfully certify his achievements.

Therefore, in this report, Chen Pingan did not hide anything about the first half of the incident, from the beginning of chasing the fierce-looking man, to the appearance of the yellow-faced old man who claimed to be Lu Shengyang from Qiankun Division, to the fact that he was framed by the Wanmo Cult thieves during the pursuit, to his sudden counterattack and killing them one by one, and finally to the appearance of Cao Yingxiong from Qiankun Division, intending to steal the credit.

Chen Ping reported all of the above in detail, and also gave some explanations in the process.

Chen Pingan did not hide the entanglement and encounter with Cao Yingxiong because of the matter of Cao Yingxiong. He could not hide these things, and they could be easily found out after the investigation.

Cao Yingxiong was stationed in the Weishui area and held a high position in the Qiankun Division. His death was definitely bombshell news, causing a huge stir and having a wide impact.

The matter involves the dignity of the Qiankun Division. The Qiankun Division of Canglong Prefecture will definitely form the most elite investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation.

Rather than being found out later, it would be better to leave traces and explain it now.

Cao Yingxiong has been famous for many years and is the strongest among the strongest. His death. As long as Chen Ping'an's strength is not exposed, no matter how suspicious others are, they will not suspect him as a rookie on the rookie list!

To kill Cao Yingxiong, his realm and means must be close to that of a master! In fact, the person who made the move is a master!

With the Grandmaster realm limit, the scope of the investigation was basically defined for the Qiankun Division's investigation team. At most, they would interrogate him once or twice, but they would never conduct an in-depth investigation on this clue.

However, despite this, this matter is of great importance after all, he still needs to pay more attention to it and not take it for granted!

While writing the official report, Chen Pingan reviewed the entire process of the matter, summarizing the gains and losses, and looking for any omissions.

Chen Ping'an had already instructed You Yongming to get the key evidence for the killing of the three elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. After he killed Cao Yingxiong, he acted on the urgency of the situation and did not return to the scene to check. However, it seems that several key evidences should have been taken away by Zhao Zhiting.

Fortunately, he also found some things on the two Ten Thousand Demon Sect elders and kept them as evidence. After all, it was not just words without evidence.

Chen Pingan wrote carefully and always finished writing the entire document. After checking that there were no omissions, Chen Pingan sealed it and sent someone to deliver it to the Weishui Zhenfu Division as soon as possible.

This official document was detailed and also revealed Chen Ping'an's strength! He killed two Xuan Guang beginners in a row and seriously injured Xuan Guang middle level. If the words were true, there was no doubt that his combat power had reached the peak of Xuan Guang middle level, even close to the level of a top master.

Considering his age, the importance that the Weishui Pacification Office and even the Canglongzhou Pacification Office attach to him will probably have to be raised one or two levels!

After having the document delivered, Chen Pingan closed his eyes and thought deeply, going over the incident again in his mind to see if there were any mistakes, omissions or negligence.

After reviewing the game again, Chen Pingan still did not find any other mistakes or omissions.

The only question is, where did he go after his quarrel with Cao Yingxiong? Judging from the results, he did not return to the Red Maple Market immediately!

During the time when Cao Yingxiong was attacked and died, he had no witnesses!
However, in the absence of a hard motive, this point is easy for him to explain. He can easily come up with a few reasons to explain it.

But this is ultimately an oversight, and we still need to pay attention to it later.

In addition, due to his limited vision, he did not know whether the Qiankun Division of Canglongzhou had any special means that could directly bypass common sense inference and analysis to obtain any key clues.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan's mind was slightly horrified. At the moment, all his thoughts were based on himself, which seemed to be no problem. But the logic of the operation of this world was not centered on him.

There were too many information gaps in the process! He thought there was no problem, so he was careless, but when he encountered a dimensionality reduction attack, he would pay a heavy price for his mistakes.

Each level has its own methods and ways of thinking! Just like the Xuan Guang Che Wu of the Xuan Guang High Realm, for most ordinary people, it is something that only exists in dreams. But for him, it is something that can be done easily.

By the same token, he didn't know whether there were any unpredictable means of ghosts and gods at the higher level that could expose all his lies!

After thinking all this through, Chen Pingan felt a sense of crisis again.

However, he did not regret his previous decision! You can give in appropriately when encountering things, but you can't give in again and again! Giving in without any bottom line will make him lose his enterprising spirit. When martial arts improvement can't bring him any substantial benefits, he will even lose his fighting spirit and motivation to move forward!

"It seems that I still need to collect more books that record supernatural things in a targeted manner to understand what unpredictable methods there are in this world! I still need to read more and broaden my horizons! In the future, I can make more accurate and reasonable judgments and analyses!"

"My strength is still not strong enough!" Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered with desire. "If I had the skills of a master, why would I be so hesitant and timid!"

Grandmaster, with a lifespan of three hundred years, has witnessed the prosperity of the world!
He possesses many magical means, and can even fly in mid-air to a certain extent! His martial arts will is condensed to the extreme, and under his martial arts will, he can even defeat the enemy without fighting!
Every Grandmaster is a master in some aspect of martial arts! They all have their own understanding of martial arts and unique skills.

Although the top fifty people on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings were able to fight against the Grandmasters for hundreds of moves without being defeated, if the battle continued, the masters on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings would show signs of decline and would surely be defeated if the battle lasted for a long time!
Only the top 30 masters on the Dragon and Tiger List are truly qualified to compete with the Grandmaster!

Of course, the masters mentioned here are real masters, not pseudo-masters like Cao Yingxiong who have broken through!
Even among pseudo-grandmasters, there are strong and weak ones. Those like Cao Yingxiong who use secret methods to break through the realm belong to the lowest level among pseudo-grandmasters. Some pseudo-grandmasters who failed to break through the realm of grandmasters but retained a large amount of accumulated insights have much stronger combat power.

There are even some pseudo-grandmasters who delve into secret techniques and tactics, and possess most of the combat power of true grandmasters!

Although the Red Maple Market had just suffered an attack and there were many complicated matters, the three major forces headed by the Huang family still prepared a grand dinner for Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan originally refused the dinner prepared by the three major forces. But now that the Ten Thousand Demons' riots have been properly resolved, coupled with the many gains and the skyrocketing wealth, Chen Pingan is in a good mood. After repeated invitations from everyone, he finally accepted.

Near dusk, You Yongming came back and reported the specific information he had found. The traces of the battle and blood on Hongfeng Mountain were still there, but the bodies of the three members of the Wanmo Sect were gone, and it seemed that they had been collected.

Chen Ping'an had foreseen this and did not take it seriously after receiving the news.

When the merit is certified later, he will probably have to argue with Qiankunsi. His only weakness is that from the perspective of martial arts, his combat power should not be enough to kill the three great demon elders!
On the contrary, the lineup of Qiankunsi seems more reasonable!
However, Chen Pingan was not too worried about this. If there was a suitable opportunity later, at the right time, he would show his strength!
His current combat power can kill the lowest level pseudo-grandmaster, and exposing the combat power of the peak of the middle stage of Xuanguang is nothing. The space reserved in the middle is still enough!
Boom boom boom!
There's a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door opened and You Yongming appeared in the room with a respectful look on his face.

"Sir, the dinner is ready and can start at any time, just waiting for you to come over!"

"it is good."

Chen Pingan stood up and walked out of the room.

You Yongming leaned forward slightly until Chen Pingan passed him, then he stood up slightly and followed him out.

"Have all the letters been sent out?" Chen Pingan asked on the way.

"In reply to your Excellency, they have all been sent out." You Yongming replied respectfully.

Chen Pingan sent two letters, one was an official letter to the Weishui Zhenfu Division, and the other was a handwritten letter to the Wufengshan garrison, which recorded several of his orders.

The Wanmo Cult was causing chaos in the area of ​​Hongfeng Mountain. Although he had killed the three great Xuanguang elders, there was no guarantee that there would be other Wanmo Cult elders.

In addition, the Ten Thousand Demons Cult was able to sneak in here smoothly without making any noise, so there must be a stronghold of the Cult around here.

Chen Ping'an ordered the officers stationed at Wufeng Mountain to strengthen patrols, focus on the area around Hongfeng Mountain, and investigate suspicious elements.

The trade route has only been opened for a short time, and with the Beicang auction, many things are complicated. Don't let anything mess up at this critical juncture.

As for the matter of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's stronghold, this is a delicate job that requires careful investigation. Naturally, there are specialized people to handle this matter.

With Chen Ping'an's current position, he no longer needs to do everything himself. As an inspector of the outer trade routes, he only needs to control the general direction and make key decisions on important matters.

Chen Pingan didn't know how many people would be busy after his order was issued, and he didn't have the energy to understand such trivial matters.

For him, all he needed to do was hear the final report!

This is also why so many people in high positions like to say, "Don't talk so much nonsense and don't tell me any reasons. I just want you to get the results."

Because your result deviation will affect his overall decision-making network. What he wants is not the reason, but the presentation of the final result.

If a place fails to achieve the expected goal, its overall strategic decision-making must be adjusted accordingly. At this time, for the superior, he is paying for your failure!
Of course, this is the thinking of the superiors. In reality, the people who execute the plan will encounter too many problems and practical factors, which will lead to deviations in the final results.

But unfortunately, in front of someone who can decide your fate with just one word, all legitimate reasons may become excuses!

Fortunately for Chen Pingan, he has now come to this point. His words and deeds are enough to keep many people busy.

The higher one is in a position of power, the more careful one needs to be in what he says and does, because the adverse effects of a failed decision or behavior will far exceed what ordinary people expect!

Chen Pingan walked towards the main hall where the banquet was held. Not long after he walked out of the room, he ran into representatives of the three major forces who had been waiting there to welcome him.

"Commander!" Huang Zhishu looked respectful and smiled as he bowed to greet Chen Pingan.

The same was true for the representatives of the other two major forces, all smiling brightly, as if they had met their dearest relatives.

They have been waiting here for a long time, but they are not impatient at all. Even if Chen Pingan doesn't come, they will continue to wait no matter how long!

"Yeah." Compared to everyone's enthusiastic reactions, Chen Ping'an's reaction was much colder. He nodded slightly as a response.

Speaking of which, the gift that the three major forces gave him through Huang Zhishu did contain some good stuff in the jade box.

A jade Ganoderma lucidum that is hundreds of years old.

Jade Ganoderma Lucidum is one of the natural treasures. In terms of grade, it is not inferior to the Scrophulariaceae that Liu Yuanhua gave him.

However, that root of Scrophularia is three hundred years old, while this Jade Ganoderma is only a hundred years old, so there is a big difference in their value.

Even so, this Jade Ganoderma Lucidum is a big deal for the Red Maple Market. After all, no matter how famous it is, it is just a market.

"Commander, please come this way!" Huang Zhishu smiled and held out his hand to lead the way. The other two followed closely behind, also smiling and leading the way.

You Yongming followed behind Chen Pingan, watching the reactions of the crowd, feeling proud of himself.

Today, he was ordered by his master to go to Hongfeng Mountain to investigate the situation. Although some time has passed, the scene on Hongfeng Mountain is still fresh.

Until now, it still lingers in his mind!
The scene left by the battle left a deep impression on him, especially the knife mark.
As a veteran of the Inner Qi Realm, he naturally knew the importance of it. In addition, the three Mysterious Light Realm Wanmo Sect elders that the adults told him about.

this.
When You Yongming looked at Chen Ping'an, there was a bit more awe in his eyes.

This master of his is probably more powerful than anyone imagined! It is his honor to follow such a master.

When Chen Ping'an arrived at the main hall, everyone present stood up and cheered in unison to welcome him.

"Greetings to the Commander, may you be well!"

"Please sit down!" Chen Pingan smiled and waved to everyone. Led by Huang Zhishu and others, he walked to the central seat.

Although Chen Pingan said this, no one else sat down until he did.

Not until he sat down in the main seat did everyone else take their seats.

With the arrival of Chen Pingan, the dinner officially began. Special servants and maids came in one after another and served the dishes one by one.

This dinner was held in a grand manner. In addition to the people from the Red Maple Market, there were also prominent figures from the surrounding area.

Hearing that the commander was here, they naturally came over to welcome him. No matter what, it was always good to come over and make their presence felt.

In an occasion like this, they might not necessarily gain anything by coming, but if they didn't come, they would probably be hated.

Even though Chen Pingan himself didn't care, his subordinates were not vegetarians. In the future work, they would inevitably be troubled.

As usual, Chen Pingan started by encouraging everyone and saying a few clichés, such as how the peace outside the trade route depends on everyone's joint efforts.

During the banquet, there were naturally many cups and glasses. However, Chen Pingan was in the main seat, so in this situation, only others could toast him, and there was no reason for him to toast. He just sat in the main seat and watched everyone come forward to toast respectfully.

"Sir, I am from the Red Maple Zhao family."

"Commander, I am..."

These people all came with a flattering face and a smile, holding the attitude of treating the old ancestor. Every cup was drunk in one gulp. On the contrary, they never interfered with Chen Pingan. Whether to drink or not, it was all according to Chen Pingan's wishes.

In addition to Chen Pingan, everyone also tried to please You Yongming. As the alternate commander of the Wufeng Mountain garrison, You Yongming still had some face in front of these people.

A drinking and dining party is like a small society, which is clearly revealed at this moment.

During the dinner, a small incident occurred. An officer from the Pacification Office sent a message saying that the spy who had been captured earlier had confessed. A lot of valuable information was obtained from him.

"Great! Investigate them all carefully. Try to follow the clues and find out the strongholds of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the surrounding areas." Chen Pingan gave instructions.

"Yes." The officer responded respectfully.

During the dinner, there were special performances by dancers, who had beautiful figures and pretty faces and looked pleasing to the eye.

During the dance, some dancers were amazed at the sight of Chen Pingan, who was sitting in the main seat at such a young age.

They had received instructions long before the dinner. The banquet tonight was of a very high standard, and the guests were all prominent figures in the surrounding area. The most important thing was that the guest of honor at the dinner was extremely distinguished and must not be neglected. Their main task was to make this guest enjoy himself to the fullest.

What they didn't expect was that this guest of honor was so young! So young that it surprised them!

"Commander, these dancers have been trained since childhood and have never entertained guests. They are all virgins. I wonder if you have any favorites. If so, tonight."

Watching the dancers performing in the field, with their swaying bodies and bursts of fragrance wafting from them, Huang Zhishu asked cautiously.

"No need!"

Chen Pingan declined Huang Zhishu's suggestion. He had no intention of staying at the Red Maple Market tonight. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Sir, although the conditions in the market are simple, it is getting late. Why don't you stay here for one night?" Huang Zhishu said.

"I have something important to do, so I won't stay the night!"

Seeing that Chen Ping'an had made up his mind, everyone present naturally did not dare to try to persuade him to stay.

Coming the latest and leaving the earliest, this is a privilege that belongs exclusively to those in a higher position!

Although the dinner had not officially ended yet, and other programs were even arranged later, when Chen Pingan wanted to leave, the dinner was already over.

Everyone present stood up and sent Chen Pingan off respectfully.

At the entrance of Red Maple Market.

"You Yongming, matters concerning the outer trade routes are now handed over to you! Pay more attention to the stronghold of the Ten Thousand Demons Cult!" Chen Pingan gave You Yongming a few instructions.

"Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will fight to the death!" You Yongming knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly.

"We respectfully send off the Commander and wish you a safe journey and all the best!" Everyone sent him off respectfully, their voices as loud as thunder.

"Okay! No need to send them off!"

Chen Pingan said this and then he got on his horse. As the horse galloped, he soon disappeared into the night.
