Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 236 The Special Struggle to Subdue Demons and Exterminate Evil
Before dawn that day, Tang Xuanci jumped out of bed with a sudden, unexpected movement.

Ignoring the City God who was still fast asleep on the left, he directly ordered the White Bone Demon on the right to change clothes and put on a brand new Immortal Guard uniform.

Finally, I walked to the baby cradle next to me, bent down and kissed Huibao's rosy little face, and then went out.

As dawn broke in the east, he led Wukong, Wuneng, and the White Bone Demon into the main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

The City God Temple has nine departments, collectively known as the Nine Offices.

In addition to the six departments of merit, granary, household, military, law, and personnel, which have functions basically the same as those of the Tang Dynasty governor's office, there is also the Department of Human Affairs, which is responsible for managing affairs in the mortal world, the Department of Underworld Affairs, which is responsible for dealing with affairs of the local government, and the Department of Divine Affairs, which is similar to a secretariat or logistics office.

Tang Xuanci, the Chief Immortal of Azhou, was under the jurisdiction of the Legal Affairs Department. His duties included ensuring the safety of Azhou city and overseeing law enforcement work at temples and government offices throughout the region.

In fact, he had a superior, the Vice Prefect of the Court of Judicial Affairs.

However, this magistrate usually worked at the City God's residence and rarely came to the yamen at the foot of the mountain. When Tang Xuanci told him that he didn't need to come to welcome him today, he very tactfully agreed.

Tang Xuanci deliberately arrived at the exact time today to conduct a surprise inspection, arrest a few lazy and unworthy individuals, and use the opportunity to unleash his fury and establish his divine might!
However, as he walked from the main hall to the inner courtyard, he found that all 1268 official immortals and 2908 temporary immortals of the entire department were present, except for those who were out on duty or on leave.

Moreover, whether they were on duty or on standby, everyone was meticulous, wearing their uniforms neatly, and no one was smoking or eating snacks.

Tang Xuanci really couldn't find a reason to lose his temper.

But this is good, it means that his tyranny is already enough, and there is no need to bother establishing it anymore.

According to the celestial register, after deducting the old, weak, sick, and disabled who did odd jobs and internal affairs, and removing the few wandering gods who were only responsible for maintaining order in the city, the remaining main force—celestial constables and celestial messengers—only amounted to a little over three thousand.

Soon, he summoned all the immortal constables and messengers in the department to the training ground and began to speak:
"Don't be so tense, relax."

"I know there are a lot of rumors about me outside, saying that I am a devilish muscle monk who kills without blinking an eye, and that I am a demon-eating maniac who will fry and kill beautiful female demons before deep-frying them."

"Hehe, these are all rumors."

"I, Tang Xuanci, am a virtuous immortal who adheres to the Heavenly Code and is honest and law-abiding. Otherwise, I could never have acted on behalf of Heaven and become a glorious immortal officer!"

Upon hearing this, the immortal constables and messengers in front of him dared not breathe, desperately trying to control their expressions, lest they reveal even the slightest unusual look.

Meanwhile, the White Bone Demon, who was acting as a "scribe" behind him, had already settled in Bengbu. Meanwhile, Pigsy, lazily smoking under a tree, complained to the monkey:

"When it comes to shamelessness, this rogue monk is definitely number one in the Three Realms."

"...From now on, when we're at work, you'll be addressed by your job title, but in private you can call me Master Tang. I will address you all as 'comrade' in a friendly way."

After a brief opening, Tang Xuanci changed the subject and got to the point:

"Since the Heavenly Court trusts me and the people have entrusted me with important responsibilities, then I must fulfill my duties in this position."

"After these days of investigation, the City God and I have discovered a shocking fact: there are a large number of evil demons and monsters in Azhou, and their activities are extremely rampant!"
"They dominate their territory, violate heavenly laws, oppress good demons, and harm mortals. They often collude with some less enlightened celestial beings, causing extremely negative impacts on the prosperity and stability of Azhou."

"The City God is deeply disgusted by this and has made up his mind to launch a special campaign to exterminate demons and evil spirits throughout the entire territory of Azhou."

"As immortals of the Legal Affairs Department, we must go all out to win this crucial battle and restore a bright and clear world to Azhou!"

At this point, his tone became impassioned and his spirits soared, as if he were channeling the spirit of a failed art student.

And all the celestial constables and messengers lost all control of their expressions.

“Comrades have been in Azerbaijan longer than I have and know the situation better. They must know where the two biggest evil forces are in the area.”

"Pingdingshan Lotus Cave is one, and the other is Wanzishan Boyue Cave."

"These are the key targets we are currently investigating and cracking down on!"

Ah this?

Upon hearing the two terrifying terms, the immortal constables and messengers all turned pale.

Who doesn't know?
Not only is the Lord of the Moon Cave a figure of great importance among the fox clan of the Eight Gates, but he is also rumored to be the lover of Kui Mulang, the Star Lord of the Dipper.

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn Kings of Lotus Cave are even more infamous. To be honest, with just three thousand celestial constables, they probably wouldn't even be enough to feed them if they rushed to Pingding Mountain.

A salary of three thousand, and you expect us to risk our lives?

Tang Xuanci glanced at them, saw the fear in their eyes, smiled, and said:
"I know that our current immortal power is indeed limited, but since we are immortals, we must never be afraid to fight against evil spirits."

"As a celestial officer, I will lead the charge!"

"You don't need to worry. I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win. I've summoned the most capable fighters in the Three Realms for you."

"Wukong, Wuneng, come and report for duty!"

The monkey and the pig were actually reluctant, but Tang Xuanci had already done some persuasion, so they still walked over with cigarettes in their mouths.

"From now on, they will also be celestial beings. Everyone should take care of each other and learn from each other."

Tang Xuanci looked at the Immortal Envoy standing at the front of the group and said, "Get a set of uniforms and waist tags for both of them and Xiaobai. Forget about other equipment; they don't need it."

Ah this! ?
Hearing that the Monkey King and Marshal Tianpeng had also joined the ranks of the glorious celestial officials, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.

There are passionate and righteous people everywhere in the world. Among them, a small number of immortal constables and messengers were inexplicably excited when they saw Tang Xuanci's righteous demeanor and the powerful help he had brought.

However, most people are still uneasy.

Tang Xuanci continued:

"I know many of you are very pragmatic; you come here just to make a living and are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice."

"I also know that some of our comrades may have succumbed to temptation and become corrupt."

"Now, I'm giving you a chance. If you have any problems, report them to me immediately, and I'll let bygones be bygones. If you're really timid, you can apply for a transfer and sit at the children's table when you eat from now on."

"But only now. If anyone dares to betray the organization or drag their comrades down in the future, it won't be as simple as just being dismissed and prosecuted."

After a brief pause, and gesturing for the monkey to check for any imaging or recording equipment, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes:
"I'll kill his whole family!"

Ah this?

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and no one dared to look directly into Tang Xuanci's gaze. No one took the initiative to reveal themselves or withdraw.

Tang Xuanci nodded in satisfaction, then instantly changed his expression and laughed:

"I am very pleased to see that everyone has chosen to stay."

"If one cultivates immortality without dreams, what difference is there between them and a mortal?"
“Those evil and crooked sects are rolling in money.”

"I assure you all that as long as we can eliminate them, everyone will be rewarded according to their contributions and receive benefits that are billions of times greater than their salaries!"

After finishing his speech, he immediately announced that today would be a day off, and that he would take his comrades to the best (formal) leisure club in Jinxianling Dongpo Xianzhen for team building.

He paid for everything.

Soon, the Monkey King, Pig King, and White Bone Demon also changed into brand-new uniforms, and the group surged out of the Law Enforcement Bureau in a grand procession, leaving the other immortals and gods dumbfounded.

As Tang Xuanci passed through the square at the front of the temple, he suddenly thought of something and made a detour into the Human Affairs Department, which was responsible for collecting the prayers of mortals, for a surprise inspection.

This finally gave him a chance to lash out.

It turns out that the function of this department is to record the voices of the people. In addition to making it easier to control the situation in the mortal world, they also often hear mortals complaining to the City God, saying that there are monsters causing trouble in various places, that their children have been eaten by monsters, that their wives have been kidnapped by monsters, and so on.

After all, there are many monsters in Xiniu Hezhou, and the mortal government can't control them, so the people can only ask Taoist priests to catch them or burn incense to file complaints.

When Tang Xuanci went inside, he immediately caught a female immortal official with a C-cup bust who, on her own initiative, destroyed the record of a merchant in the city denouncing that monsters were robbing people.

"Bastard thing!"

Without saying a word, Tang Xuanci slapped her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground, and then kicked her in the groin.

The female official was terrified and quickly tried to argue that she didn't think it was the work of a monster, but rather a case of the merchant's own speculation.

Tang Xuanci kicked her against the wall like a ball, roaring:
"You think that's all there is to it? Who gave you that right? Are those monsters your relatives?!"

"Ugh...no...ah...boohoo, I'll never do it again!" the female celestial official cried and begged for mercy.

Upon seeing this, the other celestial officials in the hall huddled in a corner like quails, their faces ashen.

"Just this once? Guards, seize her and take her back to the Ministry of Justice for rigorous interrogation!"

Tang Xuanci turned and glanced at the celestial official who had rushed over upon hearing the sound, then pointed at him and said sternly:
"What kind of leader are you? You don't even investigate when monsters are causing trouble. Does that mean the Heavenly Court is just wasting its time employing you?"
"I don't care about anything else. From now on, any accusations related to monsters causing trouble in the human world should be copied and sent to the Ministry of Justice, with the date, time and responsible person clearly stated."

"We must respond to every request, investigate every evil, punish every harm, and eradicate evil completely!"

"I will have someone secretly check and supervise. If there is a next time, and you miss a word or change a single word, you're finished too."

"Understand?"

"Yes, I understand." The celestial official nodded repeatedly, not daring to dwell on whether Tang Xuanci had any jurisdiction over the Human Affairs Department.

Then, Tang Xuanci led over a thousand comrades to the clubhouse and began to eat, drink, and have fun. He also summoned many of the immortal constables and messengers who were out on field duty.

He was incredibly generous, spending money lavishly and without reservation. As long as it was a legitimate project, everyone could enjoy it freely.

Seeing that he had become so kind again, the immortal constables and messengers couldn't help but relax a little and played all day long.

However, just after nightfall...

Tang Xuanci suddenly gave an order in the hot spring, announcing that they were ready to go and would split into two groups to raid the criminal dens in Pingdingshan and Wanzishan!
