Evil Immortal!

If that's the case, then maybe Meng Yuan really is Gu Zhengyang's man, otherwise he wouldn't be so assertive!

Seeing Xie Bingqian's aura turn cold and menacing, and the curved sword at his waist tremble and clang, Meng Yuan was not afraid at all; instead, he became even more aggressive.

"Thank you for your kind words, sir. I admit I have a sharp tongue, but I'm selective about who I talk to. I'll naturally be polite to colleagues and superiors who are kind to me, but if there are despicable people deliberately targeting me, I won't bother to fawn over them; I might even curse them out!"

"Insolence! You have no respect for your superiors, you are defiant, you..."

Xie Bingqian immediately accused Meng Yuan, but Meng Yuan didn't even bother to pay attention to him, didn't even glance at Xie Bingqian, and turned to leave.

Unlike his colleagues, he didn't treat the Demon Suppression Division as his "career." He was hesitant and restrained because he wanted to get promoted and receive a raise, or because he was afraid of offending his superiors.

In Meng Yuan's eyes, the Demon Suppression Division was merely a special force that helped him realize his plans and assist him in his future schemes; it was a luxurious carriage he rode in along the way, but not his final destination.

He could contribute more to the Demon Suppression Division and take on more tasks to support his plans, as this would be beneficial to him and a win-win situation.

Once the players arrive, he will be in a high position under the official identity of the Demon Suppression Division, naturally gaining an aura of righteousness. This will make it easier for him to gain the trust of the player base, which will be beneficial to his own plans.

But Xie Bingqian was at most two ranks higher than him, and couldn't control him, so there was no need for him to swallow his anger.

After Meng Yuan left.

Only Xie Bingqian, trembling with rage and his face ashen, and a group of onlookers, secretly excited and eager to see them fight, remained on the spot.

Soon after, news of this quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Suppression Division...

Hsieh Ping-chien naturally became a laughing stock!

It was one thing for Xie Bingqian to obstruct Meng Yuan's promotion, since Meng Yuan was seen as one of Gu Zhengyang's men by outsiders, and the rift between Xie Bingqian and Gu Zhengyang was common knowledge. So, while most people disapproved of Xie Bingqian's actions against Meng Yuan, they could at least understand them.

This time, Xie Bingqian once again bullied the weak, which made many people secretly shake their heads and some couldn't stand it anymore.

It is clearly not a glorious thing for a commander to repeatedly bully a demon-suppressing captain who has only recently joined the Demon-Suppressing Division.

The Demon Suppression Division was, after all, a violent institution of the Great Mu Dynasty, a swift blade established by the court specifically to slay demons and monsters and deter the cultivation world!

The blade is facing outwards; it's not meant for internal strife all the time.

Xie Bingqian's behavior of bullying the weak, especially his own people, is excessive no matter how you look at it.

There should be a limit to everything. Meng Yuan was diligent and conscientious in his work. Apart from going out on official business, he was always slaying demons and monsters. His pure and direct behavior earned him a lot of goodwill from many people.

On the other hand, Xie Bingqian secretly harbors resentment towards Gu Zhengyang, and now he's targeting a newcomer, which is a very undesirable move.

Although he was the personal disciple of the Palace Master Tu Yuncheng, this only confirmed the fact that the strong were bullying the weak!

Moreover, Xie Bingqian's attempt to humiliate Meng Yuan failed, leaving him speechless and unable to make a move, which made many people secretly despise him.

Not only is he narrow-minded, but he also doesn't even know how to bully others properly. He's a complete piece of trash!

Gu Zhengyang had been held back by some matters recently, but he was well-informed and soon heard about the incident.

When he first learned that Meng Yuan was being targeted by Xie Bingqian again, his expression remained unchanged, but a chilling light flashed in his eyes. Only when he learned that Meng Yuan had not suffered any loss, but instead had made Xie Bingqian a laughing stock, did he finally show a slight smile.

Seeing this, Du Caidie suggested, "Sir, shall we do something?"

Gu Zhengyang sighed:

"Xie Bingqian has repeatedly shown me displeasure, but I don't care. He has some talent, but he is narrow-minded and petty, and he is destined to achieve nothing in the future. Out of respect for the Palace Master, I have never held it against him."

"But he went a bit too far this time!"

Gu Zhengyang's smile vanished, replaced by a faint expression. Those who knew him well knew this was a sign of his anger. "Brother Meng is an upright man who avoids trouble and hates evil. He's busy handling cases and duties every day. Even I admire him for that."

"He was wronged because of me, and I will get justice for him no matter what."

At this point, he looked at his two subordinates beside him, "When Brother Meng arrives tomorrow, bring him to see me."

The withered monk remained silent, while Du Caidie nodded. "Yes, sir!"

......

Meng Yuan was unaware of what happened afterward; in fact, he never cared about Xie Bingqian at all.

He has more important things to do, so naturally he won't waste his precious time on such trivial matters.

Ultimately, this world still values ​​power above all else.

Instead of getting caught up in useless things, you should focus on improving your cultivation level!

Especially since... the player will arrive in three days!

This matter is of utmost importance to Meng Yuan!

He had many questions in his mind that urgently needed answers.

For example, does another "Meng Yuan" exist in the real world, including his original parents...? For example, is there truly a great and terrifying being behind the players, manipulating them...? For example, when the players arrive, are their bodies illusory or real flesh and blood...?

And once the players arrive, Meng Yuan needs to make arrangements as soon as possible!

Meng Yuan returned to his residence.

Three months ago, he bought a small courtyard in Linjiang City as his residence and went back home to bring his younger sister, Mengyu, to live with him.

As for his old house in Black Sand City, Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't sell it, but decided to keep it, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

Upon entering the training room, Meng Yuan sat cross-legged and began to silently regulate his breathing.

Once he had calmed down and his mind was at peace, he opened his eyes and slowly unwrapped the strips of cloth around his neck, revealing the deformed tumor.

Today's aberrant sarcomas are quite different from those of the past.

The original malformed sarcoma was about the size of an infant's head, with dark purple blood vessels covering its surface.

It also grew a pair of eerie eyes with pupils as black as rice grains and the rest being white, exuding a strange aura.

The deformed sarcoma has now grown a size larger, almost as big as Meng Yuan's head.

At first glance, the aberrant sarcoma looks like another deformed head of Meng Yuan.

Especially the distorted face above, now not only has a pair of pale white eyes, but also a mouth and nose. On the contrary, the dark purple blood vessels on the face have faded a lot, so it is not so distorted and strange, but it has a more lifelike feel.

If someone familiar with Meng Yuan were here, they would surely be able to see that this face bears a striking resemblance to Meng Yuan's appearance!
