The most ruthless person in the Demon Suppression Division

Xu Ye was speechless for a moment.

He hadn't expected Zuo Xiao to have such a teasing mindset.

He immediately laughed and cried, "Lord Zuo, please stop mocking me."

Zuo Xiao smiled faintly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"However, this time, you truly displayed the might of the Demon Suppression Division, and you deserve praise!"

With that, he returned to his seat and sat down. "Tell me about the situation of this mission."

Xu Ye immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "I have fulfilled my mission. This time, I killed a total of 132 people from Luoxia Manor. Among them were Wen Sicheng, the young master of Luoxia Manor, and the manor lord himself. No one from Luoxia Manor escaped."

This is the data compiled by Du Yuanxiu and his team.

The entire Luoxia Manor consisted of 132 people, all of whom were members of the Demon God Cult.

They have all been killed!

"Well done! You completed this mission beautifully! You deserve great credit!" Zuo Xiao nodded immediately upon hearing this, clearly very satisfied.

The members of the Demon God Cult wantonly killed many of their Demon Suppression Division guards.

This time, Xu Ye and his group launched a powerful attack and destroyed one of the Demon God Sect's strongholds.

This can be considered a severe blow to the arrogance of the Demon God Sect.

Of course, this could also be considered revenge for those who died in the Demon Suppression Division, so Zuo Xiao was naturally very satisfied.

Upon hearing Zuo Xiao's words, Xu Ye immediately said, "Lord Zuo, you are wise. This is all thanks to everyone's hard work."

Xu Ye naturally wouldn't take all the credit for himself.

As soon as he said that...

Du Yuanxiu immediately said, "Reporting to Lord Zuo, in this operation, Xu Ye single-handedly killed the Earth Armor and Wood Armor of the Five Elements Armor Guards of the Demon God Sect, as well as the young master of Luoxia Manor and Wen Xiangjun. If it weren't for Xu Ye, we probably wouldn't have been able to complete the mission. If we're talking about merit, Xu Ye deserves the most credit."

"We just assisted and didn't really help much."

He was telling the truth; if it weren't for Xu Ye, they wouldn't have been able to complete the mission.

Whether you can live or not is another matter.

Therefore, the credit should rightfully belong to Xu Ye.

Wu Qian immediately stepped forward and echoed, "Lord Du is absolutely right. Lord Xu single-handedly turned the tide. If it weren't for him, it's uncertain whether we would be standing here alive today. We would never dare to take credit for him."

Li Yong also stepped forward to echo this sentiment.

In other words, Xu Ye saved their lives this time.

They don't need any credit or recognition.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiao felt incredibly conflicted.

He had previously received news that Xu Ye had single-handedly killed Tu Jia and that Wen Xiangjun had saved the people of the Demon Suppression Division from fire and water.

But now, hearing the person involved actually say it, I still can't hide the excitement and shock in my heart.

Xu Ye!

At only eighteen years old, he already possesses the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Control.

It even has the strength to kill a Qi Control Realm expert at the eighth level.

Such a terrifying record was astonishing even to him.

Although I already knew that Xu Ye was incredibly talented and had an extraordinary growth rate.

But he really hadn't expected it to be so extraordinary.

After a long silence, Zuo Xiao finally took a breath and said, "I am already aware of this matter. Xu Ye was in full charge of this operation, and he killed the most powerful enemies, so it is only right that he deserves the greatest credit."

He paused slightly at this point, then continued, "However, your bravery in fighting alongside Xu Ye is equally commendable. I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments, and I will reward you according to your merits."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Thank you, sir!" Zuo Xiao and the others bowed deeply.

Xu Ye also clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, sir."

"No need to thank me, this is all you deserve. Our Demon Suppression Division never mistreats its meritorious officials," Zuo Xiao said with a faint smile.

At this moment, Xu Ye seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Lord Zuo, there is one more thing I need to apologize to you for."

"Oh? What is it?" Zuo Xiao asked, seemingly puzzled.

Xu Ye didn't waste any words and said directly, "During this mission, Sun Guang, the white-robed Demon-Suppressing Guard, deserted his post, abandoning the lives of his comrades. I have punished him according to his crimes and executed him on the spot..."

As he spoke, Xu Ye recounted how he had killed Zhang Kuo.

The entire report was given to Zuo Xiao.

After all, he killed Sun Guang and the others while posing as a black-robed demon-suppressing guard.

No matter what, they need to give an explanation.

Even if Zuo Xiao doesn't hold him accountable, he still needs to give the other members of the Demon Suppression Division an answer.

Upon hearing Xu Ye's words, Zuo Xiao fell silent and stared at Xu Ye.

Seeing Zuo Xiao remain silent, Du Yuanxiu and the others immediately became anxious.

They thought Zuo Xiao wanted to punish Xu Ye.

After all, what the Demon Suppression Division detests most is insubordination.

Xu Ye, dressed in black robes, killed the white-robed Demon-Suppressing Guard; this was tantamount to insubordination.

They violated the ironclad rules of the Demon Suppression Division.

Even if Zuo Xiao values ​​Xu Ye highly, he probably wouldn't allow Xu Ye to act so recklessly.

Immediately, Du Yuanxiu stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Lord Zuo, Sun Guang, dissatisfied with your arrangements, not only made things difficult for Xu Ye during the mission but also disobeyed his orders. Later, when we were in mortal danger, he deserted his post, abandoning us to our deaths. According to the laws of the Demon Suppression Division, Sun Guang should be executed. Xu Ye's killing of him was based on merit, and Xu Ye bears no responsibility. Please investigate thoroughly, my lord!"

Upon hearing Du Yuanxiu's words, Wu Qian immediately stepped forward and said:

"Lord Zuo, I think Lord Du is right. Sun Guang is just a coward who is afraid of death. Lord Xu killing him is to purge the corrupt elements from our Demon Suppression Division. I believe Lord Xu is innocent. Please investigate thoroughly, my lord."

He paused slightly, then added, "If Your Excellency wishes to punish Lord Xu, I am willing to share the punishment with him!"

Li Yong also stepped forward and said, "This subordinate is willing to share the punishment with Lord Xu, please, Your Excellency, investigate the matter thoroughly!"

The three not only exonerated Xu Ye, but were also willing to stand with him through thick and thin.

This scene filled Xu Ye with a sense of relief.

Immediately, Xu Ye stepped forward and said, "Lord Zuo, I will take full responsibility for my actions. If I am guilty, I, Xu Ye, am willing to bear the consequences alone..."

"No way! Xu Ye, how can you bear this alone?" Du Yuanxiu immediately stepped forward and shook his head in refusal.

"I am in charge of this mission!" Xu Ye said immediately.

"That won't work either..." Du Yuanxiu immediately retorted.

The two were on the verge of starting an argument.

Zuo Xiao was speechless for a moment, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He immediately shouted, "Enough! When will this end?"

Hearing Zuo Xiao's reprimand, Du Yuanxiu and the others finally shut up.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiao said, "I've really opened my eyes. I've seen people vying for credit, but I've never seen anyone vying for punishment."

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxiu couldn't help but say, "I was just afraid that you would wrongly punish a meritorious official, sir."

Zuo Xiao immediately scoffed, "So, according to you, I've always been the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"

Du Yuanxiu quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No... that's not what I meant!"

Zuo Xiao snorted coldly, completely ignoring Du Yuanxiu.

At this moment, Wu Qian stepped forward and asked Bao Wu'an, "Does Lord Zuo mean that Lord Xu is innocent?"

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxiu and the others looked at Zuo Xiao with delight.

Zuo Xiao said calmly, "When did I say he was guilty?"

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanxiu and the others were overjoyed and immediately shut their mouths.

As long as Xu Ye is innocent, that's good!
