Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Gu Chen hadn't expected this.

The truth behind it all is actually like this.

Demons are certainly hateful.

But what is more poisonous than demons is humanity itself.

Who would have thought.

The deputy director of the border city's night watch, who was supposed to protect the people from demons, turned out to be one of the masterminds behind the demon scourge and the arrests.

No wonder the night watchmen of Luo'an County never responded when they sent people to the night watchmen of Linbian City for help.

They just don't want to send anyone over.

So that evil spirits may rise up here.

He secretly recruited people to cultivate the Condensing Essence Flower.

They even went so far as to kill the former head and deputy head of the night watch of Luo'an County.

Only if the three men die can the Black Wolf Gang legitimately reach a deal with the demons.

They created a balance by having to hand over people to the demons every so often to prevent them from causing chaos.

It seems.

He told Qian Shen to tell the Black Wolf Gang to stop arresting people.

Wouldn't that block this person's way?

Will he also turn against me then?

That's it.

If he wants to deal with me, let him come.

Now that his cultivation has reached the early stage of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm, he is not afraid even if the Innate Realm comes.

Gu Chen didn't consider himself a good person.

But now he sits in this position.

He had to use his own strength to deal with the matter in Luo'an County.

Gu Chen accepted the copper bowl.

He has no money left.

Other specific information.

For example, the nine demon king forces in Jiuwang Mountain, Luo'an County.

Is there any background behind this?

How strong are they exactly? Can I deal with them? If I can, will eliminating them attract even stronger demons from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to retaliate?

This was all the information he wanted to exchange for using the copper bowl.

Only by gaining a more thorough understanding of these demons can we gain the upper hand in our confrontations with them.

"My lord." At this moment, the two guards that Gu Chen had sent to Luo'an County to search for the Cheng family's stronghold returned.

The two of them brought one person with them.

It was Cheng Mengling.

Gu Chen walked out of the house.

"Brother Gu!" Cheng Mengling exclaimed excitedly when she saw that Gu Chen had actually arrived.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded and said to the two guards, "You may leave now."

"Yes, sir." The two guards left.

Gu Chen looked at Cheng Mengling and asked, "Has your Cheng family's stronghold been established yet?"

"It's all set up. I'll personally be stationed here to oversee the new Cheng family business branch." Cheng Mengling said, "Brother Gu, we've already transported your alchemy furnace over. It's in the Cheng family stronghold. Will you be refining pills there, or will we transport the furnace to the Night Watch and you refine them here?"

"Let's move them to this courtyard," Gu Chen said. "It's more convenient for me here. You can send someone over every day to collect the pills and pay the fees along with them."

"Okay, I'll have someone bring the alchemy furnace over right now." Cheng Mengling nodded.

One hour later.

Cheng Mengling then had the alchemy furnace brought over.

At the same time, 145 portions of medicinal materials for Qi and Blood Pills were also delivered.

These are the medicinal herbs that the Cheng family had left over.

All of them are Qi and Blood Pills, and there are still 145 portions left.

After Gu Chen told them to stop buying medicinal herbs last time, they stopped buying them.

At this time.

Duan Xingchen also came to visit.

Duan Xingchen came to see Gu Chen about something.

Cheng Mengling put down the alchemy furnace and medicinal herbs, and then left with the Cheng family members.

Only Wei Zhong was left behind to take charge of the fire and pill refining for Gu Chen.

"My lord," Duan Xingchen said, "this document contains detailed information on the nine demonic forces of Nine Kings Mountain."

Duan Xingchen handed a piece of intelligence to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the intelligence report and began to read it.

Duan Xingchen was waiting there.

He then said, "Go and help Zhong Hao and the others to wipe out the remaining scattered demon forces causing trouble in Luo'an County, besides the nine demon forces at Jiuwang Mountain. Find them all and eliminate them without leaving a single one alive."

"Yes, sir." Duan Xingchen received the order and left.

He possesses the strength of the early stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm, in addition to Zhong Hao, who is at the late stage of the second realm of the Innate Realm.

With a group of Night Watchers at the first level of the Innate Realm, eliminating these scattered demonic forces would be no problem.

These scattered demonic forces are at most composed of demons at the second level of the Innate Realm.

With Duan Xingchen around, they should be able to completely eliminate them.

The Night Watch was previously unable to deal with these demonic forces because it was too weak, and with the presence of the nine demonic forces of Nine Kings Mountain, they had no choice but to give up.

Tie Yangtian had Duan Xingchen and Zhong Hao parachute over with him.

He probably wanted the two of them to help him.

With these two top-tier divine beings and his Heavenly Origin Divine Being present, dealing with the predicament in Luo'an County will be much easier.

After Duan Xingchen left.

Gu Chen read through the intelligence he had sent.

They then gained a general understanding of the specific information about the nine demonic groups of Jiuwang Mountain.

First, there is Qinggou Ridge, the stronghold of the Dog Demon King, which is guarded by a hundred-year-old dog demon with the strength of the third stage of the Innate Realm.

He commands three dog demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, eight dog demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and dozens of dog demons below the Innate Realm.

These dog demons are ferocious and bloodthirsty, skilled in hunting and ambushing. They possess the innate demonic talent "Barking Dogs All Over the Mountain," which can disturb people's minds. When they attack together, even a fourth-level innate realm expert has to avoid their sharp edge.

Three days later, the group of people that the Black Wolf Gang was to hand over would be delivered to Green Dog Ridge.

The second force, Black Wind Cliff, is the power of the demon Black Bear King, whose strength is at the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

He commands two black bear generals at the third level of the Innate Realm, six bear demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, more than a dozen black bear demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and more than forty lesser bear demons below the Innate Realm.

The third demonic force, the Poisonous Miasma Valley, is the power of the Green Serpent King. Its strength is at the peak of the third realm of the Innate Realm.

He commands three Venomous Serpent Demons at the Second Innate Realm, nine Venomous Serpent Demons at the First Innate Realm, and nearly a hundred low-level Serpent Demons below the Innate Realm.

The fourth force is Flying Cloud Peak, the force of the Azure Eagle King.

The Eagle King's strength is at the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm.

It commands four eagle demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, nine eagle demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and more than fifty lesser eagle demons below the Innate Realm.

The fifth force is the force of the Giant Tiger King of Luanshipo.

It possesses the strength of the fifth level of the Innate Realm and is also one of the top combat forces among the nine demon kings of Nine Kings Mountain.

It commands four tiger generals at the fourth level of the Innate Realm, more than a dozen tiger demons at the third level of the Innate Realm, dozens of demons at the second and first levels of the Innate Realm, and more than a hundred demons below the Innate Realm.

Sixth, there is Yin Huai'ao, the territory of the Fox Demon King.

It possesses the strength of the fourth level of the innate realm.

He commands two fox demons at the third level of the Innate Realm, five at the second level, more than a dozen at the first level, and over seventy low-level fox demons below the Innate Realm.

Seventh, Cold Water Pool, the power of the Iron Turtle King.

Its strength is at the early stage of the fifth realm of innate talent.

He commands two turtle demons at the fourth level of the Innate Realm, five turtle demons at the third level of the Innate Realm, more than twenty turtle demons at the second and first levels of the Innate Realm, and more than a hundred smaller turtle demons below the Innate Realm.

Eighth, Dead Tree Mountain, the power of the Ancient Ape King.

Its strength is at the peak of the fourth realm of innate cultivation.

He commands three ape demons at the third level of the Innate Realm, six ape demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, nine ape demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and more than ninety low-level ape demons below the Innate Realm.

Ninth, Crimson Rock Peak, the power of the Flame Lion King, is guarded by the Blazing Lion Demon, who possesses late-stage strength of the fourth realm of the Innate Realm.

He commands two lion demons at the third level of the Innate Realm, four lion demons at the second level of the Innate Realm, nine lion demons at the first level of the Innate Realm, and more than seventy low-level lion demons.

Looking at the information on these nine demon kings.

Gu Chen pondered; these demonic forces were not weak.

To deal with them, we need to find a way to defeat them one by one.

The intelligence report emphasized that the various demon races looked down on each other.

This is the breakthrough point, but if they face a crisis of survival, they might band together for mutual support.

We can't let them stick together.

at this time.

In the Wild Wolf Gang.

"From now on, we can't arrest people randomly anymore," Qian Shen said to Ding Wei, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang.

"Why?" Ding Wei asked, puzzled. "If we don't arrest them, it will be difficult to deal with Qing Gou Ridge, and we also won't be able to explain it to Lord Gong."

"The new head of the Night Watch in Luo'an County has arrived." Qian Shen's eyes narrowed slightly. "He may be about to take action against the demons of Jiuwang Mountain."

"Heh!" Ding Wei scoffed. "With the current strength of the Night Watch in Luo'an County?"

"Does he want to die?"

"A new broom sweeps clean, and regardless of his ability, you'd better keep a low profile for now to avoid getting burned," Qian Shen warned. "I'll explain the situation to Lord Gong, but you should restrain yourself to prevent any clues from being uncovered about Lord Gong's affairs. Otherwise, we'll all be in deep trouble."

"Understood. I will keep the Black Wolf Gang members in check from now on." Ding Wei nodded.

"Release the people arrested recently, and don't provoke them," Qian Shen instructed.

"Yes." Ding Wei said somewhat impatiently.

He didn't believe that the newly appointed head of the Night Watch would be able to deal with all the demonic forces within Luo'an County with the limited power of the Night Watch at his disposal.

That's wishful thinking.

It's probably just a case of a new broom sweeping clean, only to find out in the end that there's no way to deal with these demons.

It was up to the Black Wolf Gang to negotiate with these demonic forces.

We must pay a price to quell the wrath of these demons.

The Night Watch of Luo'an County.

Gu Chen's residence.

Gu Chen said to Wei Zhong, "Wei Zhong, start the fire and prepare to refine the pills."

"Yes, Elder Gu." Upon receiving the order, Wei Zhong immediately began to heat the furnace.

In the next few days, I will refine some pills to earn some silver from the Cheng family.

Before heading to deal with the dog demons at Qinggou Ridge, let's exchange some more information.

Make sure it doesn't overturn.

He served as the head of the Night Watch in Luo'an County, and was paid 300 taels of silver every month, plus a third-grade innate bone-forging pill for his cultivation.

He no longer values ​​this sum of money.

If he relied on his salary to improve his cultivation, it would take him forever to break through to the True Essence Realm.

He became a member of the Night Watch primarily because of the official position.

Having the Cheng family do things for him would prevent him from being targeted by forces like the Baoyao Pavilion.

Two days later.

Gu Chen refined nine batches of Qi and Blood Pills for the Cheng family, earning a reward of 1,080 taels of silver.

Tomorrow is the day we must hand over the people to the dog demons of Qinggou Ridge.

In the past two days, the Black Wolf Gang has stopped arresting people in Luo'an County and released all those who had been arrested previously.

Although the Black Wolf Gang members were very dissatisfied with Gu Chen's actions.

But they dared not say it outright.

We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see how Gu Chen deals with those dog demons.

Gu Chen spent one hundred taels of silver to exchange for information about the dog demons of Qinggou Ridge from the copper bowl.

It was exactly the same as what Duan Xingchen had provided to him.

Gu Chen felt relieved.

The strongest is only a dog demon at the third level of the Innate Realm.

When he passes away tomorrow, all the dog demons will die.

Although demons feed on humans, they are extremely hateful.

However, many of the materials they possess are valuable, and eliminating that group of dog demons could bring him a considerable profit.

Or after disposing of the materials on those dog demons.

That would allow him to obtain enough pills to break through to the mid-stage of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm.
