Now That I'm Here, the Rules Have to Change!

Chen Fan glanced at the Tile-roofed House in the distance, adjusted his Flying Fish Robe, gripped his hundred-forged Embroidered Spring Blade, tied his horse to a large tree at the entrance of the village, and walked straight towards the village chief's Tile-roofed House.

Boom!

Chen Fan arrived at the village chief's door, kicked open the half-closed gate, and saw the courtyard filled with white bones, with some uneaten flesh still clinging to them.

Chen Fan's gaze grew increasingly grim.

The sudden noise also startled the tall wolf demons crouching in the courtyard. Seven enormous wolf demons turned their gazes towards Chen Fan.

The leader was even larger than the wild boar he had previously killed, with several long scars on its face, making its appearance even more ferocious.

"Brocade Guard?"

"What are you doing here?"

"My brothers and I were hungry. We couldn't find anything good to eat in Black Mountain, so we came down the mountain for a snack. Tell your Centurion Cao that I didn't eat all the people in the village. I know the rules."

"If there's nothing else, you can get lost!"

The scarred-face wolf demon spoke in human language, its eyes filled with contempt.

"You know our Centurion Cao?"

Chen Fan had thought he would have to put in some effort to determine whether Cao De was colluding with demons, but he didn't expect to hear the answer he wanted so easily.

"Don't know him."

"But we've had quite a bit of cooperation."

"Hahaha!"

After the scarred-face wolf demon finished speaking, the six wolf demons beside him couldn't help but laugh.

Cao De used them to eliminate dissidents, and they used Cao De to get a snack. Both sides benefited from each other. The poor Brocade Guard kid didn't know anything.

But since that's the case, they can't let him go back. After all, they don't want the news of Cao De's collusion with demons to reach Ping An County.

That would make it too inconvenient for them to go into the city to devour young boys and girls, or to come down the mountain for a snack in the future.

Although the Brocade Guard's strength is only so-so, there are too many of them. If they unite with the Ping An County Yamen and the county soldiers, wielding knives, spears, swords, and halberds, they would be a great threat to them.

Chen Fan's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened to the wolf demons' harsh laughter. Now that he knew the answer he wanted, there was no need to hold back any longer!

Pfft!

He unleashed a Blade Draw Slash, directly stabbing his blade into the heart of a wolf demon. Then, he withdrew his blade and swept it horizontally, once again decapitating a wolf demon.

He used his Divine Treasury Realm peak strength to unleash the Grand Perfection-level Blade Draw Slash. The blade light was sharp, the moves were fierce, and each strike was a guaranteed kill. These wolf demons were no match for him!

He unleashed six slashes in a row, killing six of Scarface's brothers. Demon blood dripped from the hundred-forged Embroidered Spring Blade, pattering on the ground. Chen Fan raised his blade, the tip pointing at Scarface!

In the blink of an eye, from the moment he drew his blade to the execution of the six wolf demons, not even three breaths had passed. Scarface hadn't even had time to react before its six subordinates had become Chen Fan's victims.

It felt a chill wash over it. The bright blade pointing at it made it shudder!

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"The reason why you Brocade Guard have been able to coexist peacefully with our Black Mountain for so many years is because of the agreement between us. Now you've killed my brothers, are you preparing to declare war on Black Mountain?"

The scarred-face wolf demon forced itself to calm down and said in a cold voice.

"I don't know about the previous agreement, and I don't want to know. But now that I'm here, the rules have to change!"

Chen Fan looked at the scarred-face wolf demon calmly and said decisively.

"Roar!"

The scarred-face wolf demon's eyes flashed fiercely when it heard this. It roared and stretched out its dark, sharp claws, reaching directly for Chen Fan's face.

Whoosh!

Chen Fan swung his blade, severing its claws with one slash, and then slashed again, severing its lumbar spine.

The saying "wolves have copper heads, iron brains, and tofu waists" applies to wolf demons as well.

The scarred-face wolf demon lay on the ground, struggling, but with its lumbar spine broken, it couldn't stand up at all. It could only crawl with its two front paws.

Chen Fan came in front of it, looked down at it, stepped on its huge wolf head, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell me about the agreement between your Black Mountain demon clan and the Brocade Guard."

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

The scarred-face wolf demon said in a deep voice.

"Do you think that's possible?"

"If you tell me, I'll give you a quick death. If you don't tell me, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces."

"You've seen my swordsmanship just now. Don't worry, I won't let you die before my last cut is finished."

"I'll let you slowly feel the pain of having the flesh cut off your body piece by piece!"

Chen Fan said in a cold tone.

"Hahaha."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Actually, the terms of the agreement are quite simple. Brocade Guard Centurion Cao De and the three great demons of Black Mountain made a verbal agreement."

"The Brocade Guard wouldn't attack the three great demons of Black Mountain or their subordinates. In return, the three great demons of Black Mountain would never enter Ping An County, though they could still slaughter and devour people in the outer towns and villages, but not to the point of extermination, they had to leave some to repopulate."

"Black Mountain would provide the Brocade Guard with information on demons outside of the Black Mountain faction, using the Brocade Guard to eliminate dissidents, and also helping the Brocade Guard earn merit in the process."

"Later, Cao De also began using our Black Mountain demons to help him eliminate his own political enemies. Ping An County is now completely under his control, because everyone who opposed him is dead."

"However, because of this, we have leverage over him. Later, he allowed some of the demon clans under the Black Mountain demons to enter the county, but they had to cooperate with his actions and not cause widespread panic."

The scarred wolf demon answered unhurriedly.

Hearing the wolf demon's answer, Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned. This was their Brocade Guard Centurion, colluding with demons, acting as partners in crime, controlling the county, and eliminating dissidents. He truly deserved to die!

"Then who in the county government is colluding with you?"

Chen Fan helped Lu Xuening ask.

"No one in the county government is cooperating with us, because they are not worthy. The officials in the county government are just dogs we keep. We tell them who to bite, and they bite. Anyone who dares to disobey ends up in our demon mouths, becoming our blood food, including their parents and relatives!"

"The County Magistrate of Ping An County is just a dog we keep, specifically to keep Cao De in check!"

The scarred wolf demon said with a loud laugh.

Chen Fan was speechless. At least Cao De could cooperate with these demons, with mutual benefit, but the officials in the county government were directly controlled by the demons in the city, becoming the Black Mountain demons' lackeys.

How truly pathetic, pitiful, and hateful!

Of course, there may have been those who resisted during this period, but they and their families all died in the mouths of demons. The officials who are able to survive now are all spineless and contemptible!

"Even among the subordinates of the Black Mountain demons, they couldn't possibly know these things so clearly, it seems you should be a core demon of Black Mountain?"

Chen Fan looked at the wolf demon under his feet with some curiosity, and spoke.

"My father is the Howling Moon Wolf King, my brother is the White Wolf Prince!"

"If they knew you killed me, they would tear you to pieces, and then your parents and relatives would be buried with me!"

"Hahaha!"

The scarred wolf demon laughed maniacally.

Puchi!

Chen Fan didn't hesitate to wave the Hundred-Refined Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand, stabbing it into the scarred wolf demon's heart with one strike, killing it directly. Its laughter stopped abruptly as if someone had pressed the pause button.
