Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 481 The Spirit Suppressor

A desolate wasteland.

It is one of the most barren of the ten realms of the Demon Kingdom.

The Xisha Road is one of them.

It is so terrifying that it makes one's heart tremble.

This is because.

The neighboring Witch Black Abyss is truly terrifying.

This is also why there are so few living beings in the twelve prefectures of Xisha.

"The governors who died in office were the direct descendants of the Grand Tutor's family."

The Mirror Master spoke calmly.

"I'll give you six months."

"Cooperate with the Zhenling Division to find out the truth behind the murder."

"If you can do it, you will be richly rewarded."

aside.

Jiang Jian pondered quietly, but did not immediately agree.

Xisha Road is not rich in resources.

It took half a year.

It could very likely affect one's cultivation progress.

just.

If this matter can be resolved in a short time.

The benefits I will reap in the future will be immense!

"Oh, right, you have two other options."

The Grand Tutor flicked his gray robe and said, "The Zhenling Division and the Internal Affairs Office are both good places to go."

next second.

Jiang Jianding composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Grand Tutor, I have decided to go to Xisha Circuit to serve as its governor!"

"it is good."

The Grand Tutor made a gesture with his finger.

Jiang Jian's Grand Tutor's token immediately appeared.

Amidst the burst of golden light.

On the back of the token, there was an extra line of small text.

"Governor-General Jin Ling of Xisha Circuit".

Jiang Jian gripped the token tightly, clearly sensing it.

It contains a roaring aura, which could surge forth at any moment.

"Lu Wang, you are hereby appointed as the Deputy Governor of Xisha to assist in its operations."

The Grand Tutor glanced at Lü Wang and also unleashed a golden light.

Lu Wang's expression was complicated, but he didn't dare to say anything more, only bowing respectfully: "Yes."

"Go."

The Grand Tutor's voice fell.

A mysterious light quietly rose.

They directly pulled Jiang Jian and Lü Wang out of the Crystal Palace.

"white."

The black-robed envoy landed and tossed over a star array bracelet, saying, "This is your equipment and resources."

Jiang's eyes flickered slightly as she took the bracelet.

Click!

The bracelet is assembled and transformed, and the star array shines brightly.

in a blink.

It successfully fits the wrist and completes the identity binding.

"The Grand Tutor's mansion is indeed incredibly wealthy!"

Jiang Jian turned on the bracelet, feeling a slight sense of surprise.

The star array space inside is only 10 cubic meters.

just.

This star array bracelet, once activated...

A warehouse will appear in front of you.

Everything will be displayed in the warehouse, completely visible.

It's only suitable for use when no one is around, and for turning it on by yourself.

It is fundamentally different from Jiang Jian's storage space.

at this time.

In this warehouse.

It was filled with cultivation resources for the third realm.

Auxiliary star arrays, spirit vein simulators, high-end spirit materials, etc.

A wide variety of rare resources.

They were arranged into categories and displayed in large quantities.

"A top-tier spiritual essence model!"

Jiang Jian glanced around and then looked at a box of blue-glowing spiritual items, and a thought struck him.

This is one of the essential top-tier materials for upgrading your dimensional space!

just.

The number of models is still insufficient.

Overall.

The resources allocated to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Jiang was quite satisfied with this.

No matter where you are.

He was holding these things in his hands.

With six months of training, the progress won't be too slow.

Lü Wang also received a slightly smaller bracelet.

Its resource allocation is less than that of Jiang Jian.

Even so.

Lu Wang's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

"Temporary voters, they actually have so many resources."

Lu Wang put away the bracelet and exclaimed in surprise.

not far away.

The black-robed envoy remained expressionless and said, "Once you take office, you will have even more resources at your disposal."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As a high-ranking official, it is permissible under the laws of the Demon Kingdom to draw upon government resources for cultivation."

"But don't forget."

"The primary task of officials sent to the frontier is always to maintain stability in the territory and ensure that the resource points of the subordinate prefectures can deliver spiritual materials on time."

aside.

Jiang Jian said in a deep voice, "I understand."

A governor-general is not a sinecure.

Although they hold great power.

But what follows is a heavy responsibility.

The black-robed envoy nodded and said no more.

Just swipe with both hands.

This opened a door for Jiang Jian and Lü Wang.

Click!

Thunder roared around the gate.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jian glanced at Lü Wang and then stepped inside first.

Lü Wang followed closely behind and left the world in the mirror.

A few seconds later.

The deep purple portal vanished.

The black-robed messenger stood still, gazing at the spot where Jiang Jian had left.

His originally indifferent expression suddenly held a hint of anticipation.

"white."

"His innate talent and comprehension are unparalleled in the world."

"This person's resolve is as firm as a rock."

"It seems that there will be more changes to the number of Heavenly Positions available in the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

Outside the mansion.

The portal vanished.

Lu Wang took a step forward, his face pale, and looked up at Jiang Jian, finally saying what had been on his mind: "Xisha Road is not a good place!"

Jiang Jian seemed to have expected this, and calmly said, "If a governor-general appointed by the imperial court can die suddenly in office for no reason, can it be a good place?"

Lü Wang sighed, knowing that Jiang Jian was unfamiliar with Xisha Dao. He opened his identity card, pulled up a document, and sent it over: "Governor, take a look for yourself."

The contents of this document.

This is a detailed introduction to the "Xisha Road".

Xisha Circuit governs twelve prefectures.

Located in the desolate western border region of the Demon Kingdom.

Its territory itself, apart from being resource-poor, has nothing particularly special about it.

But on the edge of Xisha Road, at the border of the Demon Kingdom.

There exists a bottomless abyss.

The Wasteland is the most dangerous of the ten most dangerous places.

The Witch's Abyss.

This abyss devours divine souls and isolates time and space.

The neighboring state capital has long since become a wasteland of ruins.

therefore.

Of the twelve prefectures of Xisha Circuit, only nine were actually included.

The other three prefectures are all deserted and desolate.

According to rumors.

The Witch's Abyss connects to the chaotic dimensional rifts.

Mysterious monsters and unusual phenomena often seep out.

Its environment is extremely harsh.

When the Demon Kingdom was established.

The border was then established at this location.

It serves as a natural barrier.

"There's absolutely no profit to be made in this place."

"In addition, its geographical location is gloomy and remote."

Lu Wang's face was grim, and he said in a low voice, "Few people are willing to take these official positions."

Jiang Jian carefully reviewed the documents without saying a word.

Grand Tutor is a True Lord of the Spirit Platform Realm.

The Grand Tutor's Mansion was a top-level government office.

If it were Xisha Road, it would truly be this barren.

The Mirror Master would never waste his efforts in such a place.

therefore.

There must be some secrets here that I don't know about.

just.

The True Lord did not provide further details.

He only asked himself to cooperate with the Zhenling Division in investigating the truth behind the murder case.

Once the task is completed.

He can return to the King Realm on his own.

"If we find out the truth as soon as possible, we can come back, right?"

As Jiang Jian spoke, he stepped onto the unmanned flying shuttle.

"it is good."

Lu Wang followed closely behind, calmed himself down, and stopped complaining.

Instead, he followed Jiang Jian to research information about Xisha Road and prepare for taking office.

Boom!

The shuttle shot into the sky, its tail flames billowing out!

Just a few seconds.

The shuttle then plunged deep into the clouds.

Following the coordinates on the star map, they flew rapidly towards the desolate land.

"Witch's Abyss is actually a future resource point."

"However, its material production has no cycle and is completely uncontrollable."

Inside the cabin, Lü Wang pointed at the screen, analyzing it carefully.

The Witch Black Abyss, located in one of the three adjacent prefectures.

Occasionally, some spiritual materials will fall down.

These strange materials come from dimensional rifts.

Its nature is peculiar, and its purpose is unclear.

on the seat.

Jiang Jian stared at the holographic screen, his mind stirring slightly.

He recognized some of these dimensional materials.

Among them are unique crystals formed by dimensional turbulence.

There are other things too.

Even Jiang Jian had never seen it. "I heard that after the governor died suddenly..."

"The situation in Xisha is very chaotic."

Jiang Jian calmed himself down and spoke in a cold voice.

Lu Wang nodded: "Ten days have passed, and the Demon Kingdom's court has yet to send a new governor."

"The officials of the twelve prefectures almost came to blows over the quota of spiritual materials."

"The two deputy governors also got involved and divided up a large amount of resources."

He swiped his finger to bring up the information on the officials of the twelve prefectures of Xisha.

among them.

The majority of them were previous registered voters.

Behind every prefectural official is a powerful family that provides support.

"Your Excellency, we have been ordered to supervise the local areas and manage the military and political affairs of the twelve prefectures."

"Now it seems that this matter is very difficult to handle."

Lü Wang shrugged.

Jiang Jian glanced at them and memorized their appearances.

Especially the two deputy governors.

Jiang Jian even gave him a special look.

"The task the True Lord entrusted to us is to investigate the murder case."

Jiang Jianping said calmly, "If anyone is deliberately obstructing us, we will eliminate them all."

The words fell.

Jiang said no more.

Instead, he closed his eyes, sat in his cabin seat, and began his cultivation.

"it is good!"

Looking at Jiang Jian, Lü Wang felt a surge of confidence for no apparent reason and nodded vigorously.

After a while.

Lu Wang opened his contacts and began using his family connections to retrieve more detailed information about Xisha Road.

There is no day or night for practice.

While Jiang Jian was focused on his cultivation.

The shuttle travels day and night at breakneck speed.

After passing through the royal realm, we gradually entered the desolate realm.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The target on the star map on the cockpit screen was getting closer and closer.

"It's a 10-minute drive to Xisha Road."

Mechanical alerts echoed throughout the cabin.

Jiang stopped cultivating and looked out the window.

An endless desert came into view.

In the desert, there are desert birds and special plants.

Above it, giant cities float.

It cast a huge, overwhelming shadow that blotted out the sky.

Here.

The reason it is barren.

It's not due to the climate.

Rather, it's due to its poor geographical location.

Luck is scarce, and inspiration is stagnant.

Over time, this led to the formation of a barren desert.

soon.

Jiang Jian withdrew his gaze and opened his identity document.

The group chat had already been flooded with dozens of messages.

Zhao Yang, recommended by the Zhang family, entered the Zhenling Division.

Qi Hua stayed at the Northern Textile Bureau and became a loyal voter of the government.

To Jiang Jian's surprise, Gao Qi sent him a message.

This is a forwarded appointment announcement.

"Effective immediately, Gao Qi is hereby appointed as the Spirit Envoy of Xisha Road, with full authority to investigate the Zhang Xuan dismemberment case."

The Spirit Suppression Division is the most powerful and violent government agency in the Demon Kingdom.

Its authority far surpasses that of the Star Watching Bureau.

The Spirit Suppressor is of the same rank as a Governor-General.

Responsible for monitoring all unusual cases within the territory.

Think for a moment.

Jiang Jian immediately dialed Gao Qi's real-time communication.

beep.

A notification sound came, indicating that the communication was connected.

"white."

The loud voice came through clearly.

Jiang Jian said in a deep voice, "I have already met with the Grand Tutor and been appointed Governor of Xisha Circuit."

Gao Qi was not surprised: "I already knew about this yesterday."

“The Zhenling Division and the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.”

“Three of the top government’s loyal voters were sent to Xisha Road.”

Gao Qi clicked his tongue. "This matter is not simple."

"The Zhang Xuan dismemberment case is too bizarre."

"I need your cooperation."

According to the laws of the Demon Kingdom.

The Spirit Suppressor is responsible for the main investigation.

As a governor, Jiang Jian's job is to cooperate with the investigation.

just.

The mission of the Spirit Suppressor.

The same Grand Tutor gave Jiang Jian a task.

Jiang glanced at the star map and said, "Let's discuss this in detail when we meet."

Gao Qi replied, "Okay."

Communication hang up.

Jiang Jian glanced at the contact list and keenly noticed.

Gao Qi just said.

The highest-ranking government agency dispatched three of its trusted electors to Xisha Road.

Apart from Gao Qi from the Zhenling Division and himself from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

There should be one more person.

"We need to get the detailed case information from Gao Qi."

Jiang Jianding made up his mind.

Such a murder case.

Only the Spirit Envoys responsible for verification can view the most confidential case details.

"The destination is clear: the Governor's Mansion of Xisha Circuit."

A mechanical voice came.

The shuttle spewed out a blazing tail flame and emitted a vibrating hum, further increasing its speed!
The Governor's Mansion is a large complex of magnificent palaces.

It is 300 meters high.

Its length is such that one cannot see the end of it at a glance.

Located in Xisha Prefecture, in a central position.

at this time.

The Governor's Mansion, the platform in front of the palace.

Dozens of officials, dressed in different attire.

They stood here in twos and threes.

They were whispering to each other and talking a lot.

The leader.

There was an official in a red robe and an official in a purple robe.

The two of them kept their eyes down, their noses reflecting their inner thoughts.

It was as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

The other officials around them kept their distance from the two.

The occasional glances that swept over carried a hint of awe.

"coming."

The official in the red robe opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

As soon as these words came out.

All around fell silent!

Only the official in purple robes, gazing up at the approaching shuttle, said, "Vice Governor Zhang, your senses are becoming increasingly acute."

The official in red robes sneered: "Deputy Governor Xu, I think you're just agitated and have lost your composure. The shuttle was flying right up to your face, and you didn't even notice."

Deputy Governor Xu didn't speak, but stared intently at the landing shuttle, not even blinking.

boom!
The tail flame went out.

The shuttle landed on the platform in front of the hall.

With a click, the hatch opened.

A young man dressed in a snow-white robe was the first to descend the gangway.

She was around twenty years old, with long, jet-black hair tied up slightly, and fair, cool-looking eyebrows and eyes.

At first glance.

Its cultivation level is merely that of an ordinary divine palace.

However, the aura emanating from his body...

It was as deep and dark as an abyss, making one's mind and spirit tremble.

Vice Governors Xu and Zhang, along with dozens of officials, exchanged glances and then bowed their heads in greeting: "We greet Your Excellency the Governor!"

The holographic image of the new governor had already been sent over.

Therefore, they recognized Jiang Jian at a glance.

What horrified the two vice-governors was...

The newly appointed Governor of Xisha Circuit has a bone age of only twenty years old!

This point was not mentioned at all in the information they received!
A twenty-year-old at the Divine Palace Realm is not unusual.

This is because.

The scope of the Divine Palace Realm is unimaginably vast.

but.

According to common sense.

Bone age of 20.

Their studies were far behind.

The gap between him and someone who has accumulated years of experience in the Divine Palace Realm is too great.

To be appointed to a position at the level of governor-general.

They all need to be beings with a bone age of at least a hundred years!

"No gift."

Jiang Jian flicked his sleeves, completely ignoring them, and directly took out the governor's token, "Where are the Zhenling Guards!"

boom!
Shining with golden light!

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

Ten creatures appeared in the shadows.

They wore blue robes with animal patterns and masks, and bowed to Jiang Jianqi in unison: "We greet the Governor!"

Zhenling Guard is a special supervisory agency.

Each route is guarded by ten spirit-suppressing guards.

These creatures are all carefully selected elites.

They were masters of combined attacks, and their teamwork was flawless.

If they go all out, they're enough to contend with a Divine Platform Realm cultivator produced on the production line!

According to the laws of the Demon Kingdom.

The Spirit Guards are only responsible to the Spirit Envoy.

In case of special circumstances.

For example, when an unexpected event occurs and the position of the Spirit Guardian is temporarily vacant.

The Zhenling Guard will temporarily be responsible to the Governor.

Because the previous Spirit Guardian had left Xisha Road.

The newly appointed Spirit Guardian, Gao Qi, has not yet arrived and has not officially taken office.

therefore.

There was a brief vacancy in charge of the Lingwei of Xishadao Town.

This was exactly what Jiang Jian had thought of when he realized Gao Qi hadn't arrived yet!
"Immediately copy all the details of the Zhang Xuan dismemberment case for me."

Jiang Jian walked up to the green-robed Zhenling Guard and spoke calmly.

Hear this.

The guards exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat hesitant.

The leading guard in green robes hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands to Jiang Jian and said, "Governor, this case is classified as top secret. You can access the ordinary files, but the in-depth files can only be accessed by the Spirit Envoy."

Jiang met him expressionlessly and asked, "Where is the Spirit Suppressor?"

The green-robed Zhenling Guard was taken aback: "This..."

Jiang Jian said coldly, "Are you going to disobey orders? Or are you going to betray the country?"

With a slight flip of his hand, the governor's token appeared.

A dazzling golden light emanated from it.
