Divine Lord Guangyuan?!

Purple Sun River.

This place is located in the western part of Poison Dragon Pool, and was once occupied by a ferocious crocodile. After the Water Lord of Poison Dragon Pool took office, he slew the crocodile and established himself in the Purple Sun River. He recruited soldiers and horses to protect the area.

Over the decades, they have managed to cultivate a certain level of influence.

This day.

Ao Zhan, the Water Lord of Poison Dragon Pool, Zhang Shu, the Water Lord of Purple Sun, and the Tortoise Chancellor were in the palace discussing matters such as training and mobilizing troops.

"The three thousand naval troops of the River-Patrolling Camp have completed their training and are ready to don armor and take up arms at any time."

Zhang Shu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ao Zhan at the head of the table and reported.

He should have stayed in the Min River; he had a bright future ahead of him.

But remembering the kindness shown to him by the Prince Consort, he resolutely resigned from his position as the Yuan Lake Water Lord and followed Ao Zhan to the Poison Dragon Pool in the East Submerging Continent. He was skilled in training troops, so he trained a navy on the Purple Sun River and continuously deployed them to the front lines.

The fact that Ao Lie, Ao Le, and others were able to quickly establish themselves and gain a foothold in their respective territories is inseparable from Zhang Shu.

Only--

"Armor and weapons".

Ao Zhan frowned and looked at the Tortoise Chancellor beside him, "How many suits of armor and weapons does the Craftsmen Camp currently have?"

Upon hearing this, Tortoise Chancellor took out one of his items from his robes and slowly opened it. "Five hundred sets of armor, two thousand spears, five hundred Black-Iron Staff rods, five hundred longswords, and a number of other items such as rope darts, meteor hammers, wolf-tooth hammers, dragon whisker hooks, grappling hooks, soft whips, brocade lassos, and Iron Lotus."

"These weapons are barely enough to equip one battalion of soldiers."

"There are too many armor pieces missing."

Zhang Shu shook his head and Ao Zhan, "This humble general trained his troops quickly, so they are not elite troops to begin with, and are only barely formed into an army. If their weapons and armor are not good, they are not much different from the demons who have gathered from all directions. They are all scattered soldiers and will find it difficult to gain the upper hand. They will be evenly matched and I am afraid we will still have to deal with them."

Although Zhang Shu was a great talent for training troops, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

Given the current situation, there is insufficient time. The various naval units can only receive some basic training, but it is impossible to train them into a formidable elite force. Secondly, there is a severe shortage of armor and weapons. As a result, even if they are well-trained, they will still be at a disadvantage against the well-equipped demon soldiers and demons.

"We have just arrived at the Poison Dragon Pool, and our troops should be deployed by the three armies."

"But the Earth-Suppressing Army and the Demon-Subduing Army are passing the buck to each other, and the Heaven-Suppressing Army is far away in the East Sinking Continent, so we have no choice but to build it ourselves. But materials and craftsmen are all scarce, and we can only do this for fifty years."

The Tortoise Chancellor closed the booklet and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shu immediately snorted coldly, "These officers in charge of the army's provisions and weapons are just deliberately making things difficult for us because they see that we have been demoted and have fallen out with the Wu River."

Ao Zhan remained expressionless.

After a moment's thought, he said, "We can't rush the equipment. First, allocate 500 of the 3,000 River-Patrolling Camp troops, equip them with armor and weapons, and send them to the Silver River. Green Bull Mountain is formidable, and Silver River suffered a major defeat a few days ago. We urgently need to stabilize the situation."

"Yes!"

Zhang Shu nodded in agreement.

Ao Zhan opened his mouth, about to arrange the deployment of the remaining 2,500 naval troops, when a general rushed in from outside, his face beaming with joy, shouting—

"A great victory!"

"The Yinchuan army subdued the Qingniu King and his son from Qingniu Mountain, and brought them, along with the three thousand demons of Qingniu Mountain, under their command!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Zhan, Zhang Shu, and Tortoise Chancellor Gui exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Nonsense!"

Ao Zhan's eyes widened, his anger reaching its peak.

Ao Le stood below, somewhat fearful, and said respectfully, "Father, do not worry. My husband did not become a demon back then. He only needs to go to the Censure Office to clear his name of the injustice."

Having learned the details and plans from Lu Qingfeng, Ao Le was quite confident about the matter.

"Heaven-Illuminating Treasure Mirror, I personally witnessed Guangyuan hiding in the Ghost Ghost-Cry Maze. Afterwards, the Venerable Ten Thousand Evils and other Devil Cultivator in the Ghost-Cry Maze were captured, and Guangyuan transformed into 'He Shan' and joined the Bloodspring Demon Sect, which is an undeniable fact."

"He was also the one in charge of setting up the grand array inside and outside the Ghost-Cry Maze."

"Talking big but meaningless".

"If we go to the Censure Office, we won't be able to defend ourselves in the face of right and wrong. How can we possibly get out?!"

Seeing that Ao Le was still so confident, Ao Zhan was so angry that he laughed instead.

He was surprised to receive the news of victory in the Silver River from the Purple Sun River. After reading it carefully, he learned the details and rushed to the Silver River Water Palace without delay.

But they were still a step too late.

"The Three Armies Censure Office Division has dispatched Demon-Pursuing General and Devil-Capturing General to keep a close watch. It would have been fine if Guangyuan had returned, but he even dared to show off his abilities. He truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Thinking of Ao Zhan, Guangyuan frowned and said to Ao Le, "Don't be too anxious about this matter. I will go and find someone to intercede on my behalf, and send someone to Mount Yu to find Luofuzi. The guilt is hard to wash away, so we can only try our best to save this wicked child's life and strive to atone for his sins through meritorious service."

As he spoke.

Without waiting for Ao Le's reply, Ao Zhan hurriedly transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

"Father."

Ao Le called out, but Ao Zhan was nowhere to be seen. He paused for a moment, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "That's fine too."

Half Moon later.

Silver River Water Palace.

Ao Lie, Ao Le, Zhang Shu, Ao Jun, and others are all on the list.

A flash of light appeared from beyond the sky and landed in the hall, revealing itself to be Ao Zhan, who had been running around in all directions.

"Father, how is it?"

Upon seeing this, Ao Lie quickly stepped forward to inquire.

Ao Zhan's face was gloomy, and he shook his head, saying, "I went to the Heaven-Suppressing Army and found two General Zhao Bo and General Wen Hu, with whom I had some dealings back then. Both of them are third-rank divine generals in the Heaven-Suppressing Army, and they both said they couldn't help."

That's not all.

The two divine generals advised him to stop interfering in the matter, lest he be convicted of colluding with demons.

Having no other choice, Ao Zhan had to return.

"What about the Mount Yu Sect Leader— "

Zhang Shu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask.

"We've already sent people over. But the Mount Yu is long, and there's still no news for a while." Ao Zhan's voice was low, indicating that he didn't have much hope.

He knew that in previous years, Ao Le had sent people to Mount Yu several times to seek an audience with Luofuzi, but they were all stopped under the pretext of "seclusion" and did not come out to meet him.

If you try to find him now, you'll probably be turned away.

"Wouldn't that put my uncle in danger?!"

Ao Jun was the youngest and lowest in seniority on the field, but he still couldn't hold back. Thinking of his uncle, whom he had only met twice, he felt extremely anxious.

Five players on the field.

Ao Le, who was closest to Lu Qingfeng, was the most calm and unhurried.

"Little sister."

Ao Lie frowned upon seeing this, a sense of worry creeping into his heart. He had always missed his younger sister in Guangyuan the most; this sudden reunion followed by separation might have clouded his judgment due to the extreme joy and sorrow.

"Little sister."

"Guangyuan is in grave danger this time; you should be prepared."

After hesitating for a long time, Ao Lie decided to guide Ao Le to face reality.

"..."

Seeing his third brother's expression, Ao Le blinked and immediately understood what he meant.

I was caught between laughter and tears.

Seeing that everyone was indeed worried, she wanted to explain. However, remembering her husband's instructions, she could only hold back and dared not say more lest she ruin the plan.

But at this moment...

A radiant light filled the sky, and auspicious clouds stretched down from the heavens, illuminating the way.

The melodious music was truly magnificent.

"Which celestial deity has arrived?"

Seeing the magnificent sight in the sky, everyone dared not be negligent and hurriedly went out to greet them.

All that could be seen was the horizon.

Two generals stood on either side.

The general on the left has yellow hair, a blood-red demon face, wears a nine-leaf fire crown, a green Azurecloud robe with a tassel at the chest, and gold diamond armor underneath. He stands on two fire wheels, holding a sword in one hand and a treasure mirror in the other.

The general on the right has a black face, blue hair, wears a five-leaf fire crown, a black short robe with a tassel, and gold diamond armor. He stands on two water wheels, holds a cloth bag on his shoulder in his left hand, and a golden mace in his right.

Duan's bravery and divine prowess.

One of them.

Wearing a magnificent divine robe and a dragon crown, he was actually—

"Guangyuan?"

Ao Zhan looked at Lu Qingfeng, then at the two generals on his left and right, and his heart skipped a beat. "The Censure Office investigating the Demon General?!"

Lu Qingfeng joined the Censure Office, and now he's bringing the Censure Office with him. This is all very strange and terrifying to think about.

"Guangyuan pays respects to his father, the King."

"Greetings, Third Brother."

Lu Qingfeng, unaware of Ao Zhan's thoughts, bowed to Ao Zhan, then greeted Ao Lie, nodded slightly to Zhang Shu and Ao Jun beside him, and then stepped forward, intending to go to Ao Le's side.

"Guangyuan!"

But then Ao Lie strode forward, shielding Ao Le behind him, his eyes glaring angrily at Lu Qingfeng.

"What is Third Brother doing?"

Lu Qingfeng looked surprised and couldn't help but look at Ao Le, who was peeking out from behind Ao Lie.

Ao Le initially looked confused, but upon seeing the two divine generals in the sky, she immediately understood, gestured to Lu Qingfeng, and raised her voice, "My husband hasn't introduced these two generals to us yet."

"I got so excited that I forgot about that."

Ao Le reminded him, Lu Qingfeng immediately came to his senses, finally understanding why his third brother Ao Lie and father-in-law Ao Zhan had such strange expressions.

He gave a bitter smile.

He hasn't made a sound yet.

The two generals behind him stepped forward first.

The general on the left addressed Ao Zhan and the Human Path, saying, "I am Zhang Chi, the Mighty Radiance Thunderbolt General Zhang Chi the command of Divine Lord Guangyuan the Censure Office."

The general on the right also announced loudly, "I am Du Yuanqing, the Six-Wave Water-Coiling General under the command of Divine Lord Guangyuan of the Censure Office."

"Divine Lord Guangyuan?!"

Now, not only Ao Zhan and the others, but even Ao Le showed surprise and doubt on their faces.

The Sorrow River Dragon Palace, in its conquest of the Chunshen Realm, comprised three armies—

The Heaven-Suppressing Army, the Earth-Suppressing Army, and the Demon-Subduing Army.

Within the three armies, there is a "Censure Office," which is in charge of investigating and determining the good and evil deeds and punishments of all demons and monsters captured or not captured under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Suppression Army, the Earthly Suppression Army, and the Demon-Slaying Army.

Power can be immense, or it can be insignificant.

People like Lu Qingfeng and Red Cypress, who betrayed their cause and joined the demons, were subject to investigation, trial, and conviction by the Censure Office.

The chief official in charge of the Censure Office is called the "Chief Official of the Three Armies for Investigating Demons and Correcting Good and Evil," a dignified first-rank deity, known as the "Divine Lord of Censure."

Speaking of prominence.

It is even above the Wu River Dragon Lord and the Min River Dragon Lord.

"When he took Divine Lord of Censure for his wrongdoing and almost caused a great disaster. The three generals jointly wrote to the Dragon Palace and he has been imprisoned in the Thunderbolt Examination Prison to be subjected to three hundred years of thunder and lightning torture."

"The Divine Lord is the newly appointed Divine Lord of Censure, personally appointed by the Dragon King. He just took office three days ago and is currently in charge of the Censure Office."

Silver River Water Palace.

Du Yuanqing, the Six-Wave Water-Coiling General, with his dark face and blue hair, introduced himself to Ao Zhan and the others.

"Divine Lord of Censure!"

Ao Zhan looked at Lu Qingfeng, and even with his knowledge and experience, he found it hard to believe for a moment.

Just a few days ago, I was worried that my son-in-law would be imprisoned by the Censure Office, or even beheaded on the Fiend-Exterminating Platform. Who would have thought that in just Half Moon, he would transform into the Divine Lord Guangyuan who is in charge of the Censure Office?

This change is rather abrupt.
