Chapter 1162 Shattered Image
Song Shoufang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.

Zhou Jin stood up, clasped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

Huang Zhengyang, Qi Chunyu, and Zhao Wuyou then stood up, clasped their hands in farewell, and took their leave.

Chu Zhiyuan naturally followed suit.

The group left the hall and walked outside.

Zhao Wuyou said, "Mr. Chu, if you need anything, please come and find me."

He took out an invitation from his sleeve and solemnly handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "No need to be so polite!"

Whether it was just now or before, Chu Zhiyuan's help deserves this post.

Chu Zhiyuan accepted the dark green invitation card, which depicted a ferocious beast, and clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying, "If there is any trouble, I will certainly bother the general."

He shook his head inwardly.

I feel like my status has been elevated by Song Shoufang.

Otherwise, he, a general, would not even consider the mere disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect a threat.

As one of the four major sects, the Heavenly Sword Sect holds a superior position, which is why the city guards look up to them.

However, for a general like Zhao Wuyou, who holds a high position and great power, he would only show respect to the sect leader Lu Wanshan, and would hardly take ordinary Tianjian Sect disciples seriously.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Mr. Chu, you're at the seventh level now, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Huang Si has excellent taste."

His cultivation level was actually concealed by the wondrous use of the Shadowless Divine Sword.

Huang Zhengyang's ability to see through things directly clearly indicates that he possesses extraordinary skills.

It should be something similar to the Candle Demon Eye.

"At such a young age, you've already reached the seventh level; you truly have a bright future," Huang Zhengyang said. "No wonder the Prince values ​​you so highly."

He judged that Chu Zhiyuan was a pivotal figure in the future of the Heavenly Sword Sect, either as the sect leader or an elder.

At least one elder.

If it's the sect leader, then we need to be careful.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Huang Sizheng has already reached the ninth level, but you are still far from that level."

Huang Zhengyang smiled and said, "I had a strange encounter, so I can't be sure."

He looked at Qi Chunyu: "Lord Qi, is Mr. Chu's talent no less than yours?"

Qi Chunyu said calmly, "Better than me."

He already knew the details of Chu Zhiyuan's background.

The new disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a prodigy who ascended from other places, soared into the sky, wielding the Demon-Subduing Blade, whose power was astonishing.

He was destined to be a dazzling top master, a legendary figure in the martial arts world.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I am unworthy of such praise. The two of you, the Directors, are the true geniuses and prodigies."

Mutual flattery is common in any world and in any era.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Mr. Chu, once your four major sects make a move, the other sects will not just stand by and watch; they will follow suit."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "Thank you for the reminder, Director Huang."

He had already thought of that.

Knowing that the various sects in the martial arts world would not let this opportunity pass and would definitely rush out to seize the credit, they knew that the opportunity would not be missed.

He then continued, "We recently wiped out the stronghold of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, but some remnants remain. The Exorcising Department needs to clean up the mess and eliminate the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect."

"You handled this situation cleanly and efficiently," Huang Zhengyang said. "It was indeed a good method."

Finding the Ten Thousand Blood Sect's lair and silently annihilating it, one can only say they truly deserve to be called one of the Four Great Sects.

This infuriated the Chief Justice, because it was something the Exorcising Evil Division couldn't do.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Through this operation, we have discovered that if we want to eliminate evil, we must destroy their idols."

Huang Zhengyang said, "Finding the statue is not easy, and even if you find it, you can't destroy it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am not very talented, but I am able to destroy the statue of the Evil Lord."

“You—?” Huang Zhengyang sized him up.

A seventh-level Venerable can accomplish what a ninth-level Venerable cannot?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Why don't you give it a try, Si Zheng?"

He deduced that the Bureau of Exorcising Evil must possess a statue of the Evil Lord.

After all, it is the power organ of the entire dynasty, and no matter how weak it is, it cannot be weaker than the four major sects.

Destroying the statue of the Evil Lord brings immense merit. Just look at the golden light within the Demon-Subduing Palace; the strongest golden light originates from destroying the statue of the Evil Lord.

“Then come with me,” Huang Zhengyang said. “I want to see what you, Mr. Chu, are capable of.”

"Perfect." Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly.

He was secretly delighted.

The fact that the Bureau of Exorcising Evil still has a statue of the Evil Lord is the best merit.

He never stopped practicing the second level of the Earth Origin Technique, and his progress was very rapid.

At this rate, the second level of the Earth Origin Technique will be mastered quickly, followed by the Human Origin Technique, and finally the Heaven Origin Technique.

The merit will be needed soon.

We shouldn't wait until we need to accumulate merit before we start to do so; we should do it in advance.

When the group reached the gate, a group of experts were already waiting outside. Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them.

He was the only one without any expert guards by his side; the other four were all surrounded by experts, even the two deputy directors who were themselves top experts.

“Let’s go, Mr. Chu, come with me to take a look,” Huang Zhengyang said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "How about I go back to the villa and change my clothes? It would be too impolite to go there like this."

"Haha..." Huang Zhengyang laughed, "There aren't that many rules, let's go."

Chu Zhiyuan then stopped insisting and bid farewell to Zhou Jin, Qi Chunyu, and Zhao Wuyou.

Then they walked forward together with Huang Zhengyang.

There were eight experts protecting him.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them and secretly admired them, thinking that they were indeed worthy of being deputy directors.

Of these eight experts, two were at the ninth level, and the rest were at the seventh or eighth level.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the previous eunuch Ma was also a ninth-rank official; he was from the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the most powerful place in the world.

Having two Ninth-Rank Venerables as guards is already an extreme luxury.

He chatted with Huang Zhengyang and they quickly became acquainted.

Huang Zhengyang wanted to find out the background of this future top figure, and he also wanted to find out the background of the Demon Extermination Division.

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

Laughter rang out continuously.

The two chatted happily and seemed to have become friends in a short time.

Chu Zhiyuan, however, was not so naive as to believe that the two would actually become friends.

The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Exorcising Evil Division have conflicting interests, as is the case this time.

Of course, there will also be collaborations.

Therefore, the relationship between them is very delicate, involving both cooperation and competition, and they need to be careful to maintain a proper balance in their interactions.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped in front of a magnificent mansion and looked it over.

This is the location of the renowned Exorcism Division.

The three large characters "Zhu Xie Si" (诛邪司, Exorcising Evil Division) gleamed in gold.

Two stone-carved mythical beasts crouched beside the door, as if they were about to pounce at any moment.

Huang Zhengyang led him directly inside, and they arrived at a courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan's expression changed.

Inside this spacious courtyard, there are stone sculptures one after another.

The carvings depict evil deities.

It has a human head and body, but its lower body is completely different, making it definitely not human.

He glanced at them and saw a total of thirty-three evil lord statues.

More importantly, these statues are spotless and undamaged, as if they were washed and cleaned every day.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "These are all statues of evil lords. This is a merit of the Exorcism Division. It's not easy to obtain these."

Huang Zhengyang had already dismissed the guards and was alone with Chu Zhiyuan.

He sighed and said, "It is indeed not easy. These demons are too slippery. Finding their lair is extremely difficult."

He then asked, "You wiped out the Blood Sect's stronghold and also obtained the statue, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I destroyed them all, a total of nine."

Huang Zhengyang asked, "Nine Venerables?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "One large one, and eight small ones."

He slowly drew the Shadowless Divine Sword: "Which one should we begin with?"

Huang Zhengyang pointed to a statue in front of him.

The statue has a human body and head, and a pair of legs, but its feet are chicken claws, firmly gripping the ground.

Chu Zhiyuan made a light stroke, the tip of his sword tracing from head to toe before returning the sword to its sheath.

A thin line extends from the statue's forehead to its lower abdomen.

Then the thin line turned into a golden line, and the golden light seemed to shine through.

Then several golden lines quickly appeared on and off the statue.

These golden threads spread incredibly fast, completely covering the entire body in the blink of an eye.

"Kick!"

"Wow!"

The statue crumbled into pieces on the ground.

Huang Zhengyang stared intently at the pile of broken pieces, his eyes burning.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he looked at him, while secretly observing the golden light within the Demon Subduing Palace.
