The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

"What use would I have for it?"

Zhou Heng said calmly.

"Sir, you are not—"

Lin Hanyuan was somewhat surprised.

This is the Great Sage Demon Bone!

What's the use of it?

It is priceless; if a demon obtains it, he can glimpse the realm of a first-rank Great Sage.

People can also use it to refine elixirs.

Even if all else fails, just bringing it back to the Imperial Guard would be a great achievement.

Lin Hanyuan's heart was bleeding when he said those words, but the other party directly refused.

What he treasures, others discard like worn-out shoes.

"You've labeled Zhou as someone who steals and plunders through trickery and force?"

Zhou Heng said sarcastically.

"I dare not. I truly wish to hand over this Great Sage Demon Bone to the Guardian Division."

Because of it, my Lin family was almost destroyed.

"I really don't want to keep it anymore."

Lin Hanyuan said.

"Your friend gave you the Great Sage Demon Bone before he died, surely not to harm you? You're just handing it over like that, aren't you afraid of betraying your old friend?"

Zhou Heng said.

"He gave me the Great Sage Demon Bone because I had told him that it could be used to refine the Heaven-Reaching Pill."

Lin Hanyuan smiled wryly, "He overestimates me. I really have no confidence that I can refine this Heaven-Reaching Pill."

"The Heaven-Reaching Pill?"

Zhou Heng looked puzzled.

"The Heaven-Reaching Pill can create a second-grade cultivator."

Lin Hanyuan said in a low voice.

This single sentence is enough to prove the value of the Heavenly Elixir; no further explanation is needed.

It can create a second-grade powerhouse!

Regardless of whether it's true or not, even Zhou Heng would be tempted by something like this.

No wonder even those demon kings have their eyes on this bone.

It's definitely a good product.

However, the news about the Heavenly Pill should not have been leaked, otherwise it wouldn't just be the Heavenly Demon King and the Qingyang Mountain Lord who were eyeing the Lin family.

Zhou Heng also understood Lin Hanyuan's meaning.

Even the renowned family of the Southern Medicine Kings couldn't withstand this.

"Are you unable to refine the Heaven-Reaching Pill, or are you afraid to?"

Zhou Heng looked at Lin Hanyuan and asked.

Lin Hanyuan has had the Great Sage Demon Bone for several days now.

Only now, with the Lin family destroyed and its members dead, has he remembered to hand over the Great Sage Demon Bone to the Imperial Guard. His intentions are self-evident.

If Lin Hanyuan truly intended to hand over the Great Sage Demon Bone, he should have done so on the very first day the Zhenyuan Escort Agency entered the city.

"I dare not, and I cannot."

Lin Hanyuan bluntly stated that he had already realized that although the garrison commander in front of him was young, he was not someone to be easily fooled.

"So you're trying to shift the blame? Give me the Great Sage Demon Bone, and the Heavenly Demon King will let the Lin family go and turn his attention to me instead?"

Zhou Heng said with a half-smile.

Lin Hanyuan smiled bitterly and remained silent.

He really wanted to say, "Anyway, you've already killed the Little Demon King, so you don't have to worry about the debts. Whether you have the Great Sage Demon Bone or not, the Heaven-Suppressing Demon King will not let you go."

Why not take credit for the Great Sage Demon Bone?

However, he dared not say it aloud.

This garrison commander looks young, but his act of skinning the Blood Ape General alive in the street shows that he is very bloodthirsty.

If things go wrong, this person could easily chop him up on the spot.

"Medicine King Lin, what if I let you refine the Heaven-Reaching Pill?"

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, then slowly asked.

"My lord, as I just said, the Lin family dares not, nor is it capable of, refining the Heaven-Reaching Pill."

Lin Hanyuan said earnestly, "It is not that I am belittling myself, but if we are only talking about the skill of alchemy, I can indeed refine the Heaven-Reaching Pill."

However, refining the Heavenly Pill requires more than just the Great Sage Demon Bone; it also requires many auxiliary materials.

These auxiliary materials are extremely difficult to find; even my Lin family would have difficulty gathering them all.

A pill that can grant someone instant access to the heavens is not so easy to refine.

"Who?"

Just then, Zhou Heng suddenly shouted.

The next moment, he raised his hand and waved it, and a burst of energy burst out of the window.

With a crack, the window shattered.

Zhou Heng had already appeared outside the window as if he had teleported.

He looked around and frowned.

A dozen or so feet away, the Lin family members were busy in the ruins.

"Lord Zhou, was someone eavesdropping outside the window just now?"

Lin Hanyuan also rushed out of the room and came to Zhou Heng's side, his expression full of surprise and uncertainty.

They were just discussing the Great Sage Demon Bone in the room.

Even now, very few people know about the existence of the Great Sage Demon Bone; apart from a handful of adults, there are very few.

Outsiders only thought that what he held was the Demon King's bone.

Although the Demon King's bone is precious, it is not enough to make someone take the risk.

But things are different when you change to the Great Sage Demon Bone.

Once this news leaks out, the Lin family will never have peace again.

"Linbu!"

Lin Hanyuan shouted loudly.

A middle-aged man came running quickly.

"father."

He was none other than Lin Hanyuan's son.

"Did anyone approach the room where Lord Zhou and I were talking just now?"

Lin Hanyuan asked in a deep voice.

"No."

Lin Bu shook his head and said, "Everyone is busy packing up, and you also instructed us, Father, not to let anyone get close."

I didn't see anyone approach that room.

"Master Zhou——"

Lin Hanyuan looked at Zhou Heng with a questioning expression on his face.

"It's normal that people who can escape from me within ten steps wouldn't notice me."

Zhou Heng slowly said, "The other party should be a priest, with a cultivation level of at least a Day Wanderer."

The divine beings can travel in spirit, sometimes with a visible form, sometimes without, and are generally difficult for ordinary people to detect.

Lin Hanyuan's face instantly turned pale.

He had no doubt about Zhou Heng's judgment.

Zhou Heng is a powerful cultivator capable of slaying a fourth-rank demon.

So, the fact that the Lin family possesses the Great Sage Demon Bone can no longer be kept secret?

"grown ups--"

Lin Hanyuan looked at Zhou Heng pleadingly.

Only if Zhou Heng agrees to accept the Demon King's Bone can the Lin family escape the crisis of destruction.

Zhou Heng glanced at him and slowly said, "Medicine King Lin, I want you to refine the Heaven-Reaching Pill."

Not only should we refine the Heavenly Elixir, but we should refine it in a grand and ambitious manner.

"I want everyone in the entire Great Yue Dynasty to know that your Southern Medicine King Lin family is refining the Heaven-Reaching Pill."

"Huh? The Heaven-Reaching Pill?"

Lin Bu looked at Zhou Heng in shock, then at his father.

Lin Hanyuan didn't even tell him about the Great Sage Demon Bone.

Lin Hanyuan paused for a moment, then frowned and began to think.

Zhou Heng is already the Commander of the Imperial Guard at a young age; such a person could never be a fool.

Zhou Heng couldn't possibly be unaware of what the Heavenly Pill meant.

Once this matter is leaked, Chengdu, and even the entire Shu Prefecture, will be plunged into chaos.

At that time, not only the Demon Court, but also the heroes of the martial world and outlaws will all be after the Heavenly Pill.

What benefit would this bring to Zhou Heng?

The chaos in Shu Prefecture will not benefit Zhou Heng in any way.

"No, that's not right!"

Lin Hanyuan suddenly realized something.

If Shu Prefecture becomes the center of the world's turmoil, the Great Yue court will surely send even more troops to Shu Prefecture.

Is this Zhou Heng's purpose?

Zhou Heng is the garrison commander of Shu Prefecture under the Imperial Guard. Once the imperial court sends additional troops to Shu Prefecture, those troops will surely obey Zhou Heng's orders.

Shu Prefecture is remote, and the imperial court originally couldn't pay attention to it. Is Zhou Heng trying to force the imperial court to pay attention to Shu Prefecture through this method?
