Upon hearing Ao Jue's words, everyone in the tent, though remaining expressionless, couldn't help but look towards Ao Shang.

Ao Shang frowned immediately and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, Marshal of the Western Heaven? As fellow soldiers of the Heaven-Suppressing Army, why would anyone deliberately make things difficult for Ao Zhan? It's just that during a major battle, the distance to the Sorrow River is far, and supplies and armor are insufficient, making it difficult to gather them for him in a short time. As for soldiers and generals, does he, a newly promoted general, expect all the elite troops and generals in the army to be sent to his command?"

"Why is Marshal Dongtian in such a hurry to explain?"

"I'm just wondering, Ao Zhan has stayed for three years without giving up, but now he's leaving with incomplete troops, incomplete generals, and scarce supplies and armor. It seems he's going to go to that Poison Dragon Pool and become a general without troops."

Ao Jue laughed loudly, unafraid of Ao Shang.

"The troops are not yet complete; we will wait for replacements."

"Ao Zhan is the Dragon Lord of the Poison Dragon Pool. He controls a region and can be completely self-sufficient in terms of food, supplies and weapons. It is only natural that our Heaven-Suppressing Army is currently engaged in fierce fighting in the east and cannot attend to other matters."

Ao Shang remained expressionless, his voice booming.

Upon hearing this, Ao Jue's mocking expression deepened, and he was about to retort.

Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo interrupted loudly, "Stop arguing."

Ao Jue and Ao Shang immediately fell silent.

However, Zhu Jiu, the mighty Marshal of the Southern Heaven, said, "I heard that the newly appointed chief clerk of the Censure Office Five Hells and subdued dozens of powerful demons in one fell swoop. This Divine Lord of Censure is the son-in-law of General Ao Zhan, Grand General of Entangling and Slaying. Ao Zhan's departure at this time may be related to this."

Zhu Jiu led his troops in the south, traversing East Sinking Continent and East Submerging Continent, which was closest to the Divine Censure Office and the first to receive the news.

"Subdued dozens of demons in one fell swoop?!"

As soon as Zhu Jiu finished speaking, Ao Jue, Ao Shang, and even the Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo showed surprise.

If Ao Zhan were to truly subdue dozens of demons, then he would certainly not lack warriors to charge into battle.

Ao Zhuo looked at Zhu Jiu, "How strong are these demons?"

"They are all the best in the Fourth Realm, and are among the most unruly and difficult to deal with in the Five Hells. There are also top demons who have been imprisoned in the Five Hells for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

As Zhu Jiu spoke, he was also somewhat surprised.

Even though he had no connection with the Censure Office, Zhu Jiu had heard of these troublesome demons in the Five Hells, and even the reputations of some of them before they entered the Five Hells.

Hearing this news a few days ago, and hearing that many demons, whom even he considered extraordinary, were bowing down to the newly appointed Divine Lord of Censure, he was truly astonished for quite some time.

They then sent people to investigate and learned more.

"The Divine Lord of Censure not only recruited dozens of demons, but also handed over all their possessions. The treasures buried in various places also all fell into the hands of the Divine Lord of Censure."

The demons cast into the Five Hells were all vicious and ruthless, ravaging their respective regions. They had amassed untold wealth and treasures. The Sorrow River Dragon Palace established the Five Hells not only to punish these demons but also, in part, to protect the treasures these demons had hidden in the microcosm or elsewhere.

For this, they did not hesitate to imprison him for thousands of years and subject him to severe torture.

Those unruly and fearless demons, each possessing immense wealth, have now all benefited Lu Qingfeng.

"Nonsense!"

"The demons of the Five Hells must be reported to the Grand Marshal of the Three Armies and entrusted to the Three Armies as their vanguard to accumulate merit and atone for their sins. How can the Censure Office keep them for its own private use?!"

"What demons obtain is ill-gotten wealth and should be handed over to the three armies and the Dragon Palace, not pocketed by them."

"This Divine Lord of Censure is truly acting recklessly and without any sense of proportion!"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Ao Shang, Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal, slammed his hand on the table and roared angrily.

Ao Jue sneered to the side, a smile on his face but disdain in his heart.

Ao Shang turned around and said to the Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo, "Divine Lord of Censure's illegal acts, and ask the Grand Marshal to make the final decision!"

Just then.

Someone hurried into the tent and bowed to Marshal Ao Shang, who was Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal.

"Reporting to the Marshal."

"In all the camps of the army, all the demons of the Five Hells have broken out of their camps, and the Great Mind-Form Curse is useless!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Another general rushed in from outside the tent and bowed to Zhu Jiu, the mighty Marshal of the Southern Heaven.

"Reporting to the Marshal."

"In all the camps of the army, all the demons of the Five Hells have broken out of their camps, and the Great Mind-Form Curse is useless!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Shang and Zhu Jiu's expressions immediately changed drastically.

"How dare this brat from Guangyuan act like this?!"

Ao Zhuo, with a square face, called out loudly towards the outside of the tent—

"Summon the Divine Lord of Censure to come see me."

"Guangyuan has met the Grand Marshal and the five Marshals."

Inside the Grand Marshal's tent of the Heaven-Suppressing Army, Lu Qingfeng, neither humble nor arrogant, greeted Ao Zhuo and the others before taking his seat on the right. Ao Shang and Zhu Jiu frowned, but remained silent.

Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo remained expressionless and looked at Lu Qingfeng, laughing loudly, "I am truly ashamed to have troubled Divine Lord Guangyuan to make this trip in person."

"It's alright."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, his gaze innocent.

"Is the Divine Lord doing well in the Censure Office?" Ao Zhuo looked at the Divine Lord of Censure in front of him and was a little troubled. He didn't know how to ask the question, so he could only exchange pleasantries with Lu Qingfeng first.

Lu Qingfeng knew the truth, but deliberately didn't mention it, saying in a clear voice, "I'm sorry to trouble the Grand Marshal, everything is fine."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Seeing that Ao Zhuo and Lu Qingfeng exchanged pleasantries for a long time without mentioning the main business, they realized that Ao Zhuo and Lu Qingfeng had not discussed the matter at hand.

Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal Ao Shang, who was known as the Mighty Marshal of the Eastern Heaven, finally couldn't hold back and said in a deep voice, "Does the Divine Lord Guangyuan know why he has been summoned here this time?"

"I don't know."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiu slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Divine Lord Guangyuan has transferred hundreds of demons from my Southern Heaven Army and Eastern Heaven Army without cause. This matter must be given to the Grand Marshal, to me, and to the Eastern Heaven Marshal with a reasonable explanation!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table three times, shattering it into pieces. He glared at Zhu Jiu, "Insolence! I am handling the internal affairs of the Censure Office. Why should you, Boarling, interfere?!"

Zhu Jiu's true form is a Shiva Boar of a different species that Attainment of the Dao, which is vastly different from the domesticated pigs raised in the human world. But in the end, a spirit pig or a celestial pig is still a pig, and Lu Qingfeng's use of the term "Boarling" really hits Zhu Jiu's weak spot.

"How dare you!"

Zhu Jiu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly roared in anger.

The Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal also looked at Lu Qingfeng, frowned and questioned, "What does Divine Lord Guangyuan mean by this?"

Lu Qingfeng listened.

He chuckled and said nothing more, then with a wave of his hand, clouds gathered in the sky, revealing a magnificent scene—

One of the generals, with an angry expression, slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

Upon closer inspection.

It was Zhu Jiu.

Lu Qingfeng pointed at Zhu Jiu and sneered at Ao Shang, "This Boarling slammed his fist on the table first, and I just slammed it back. Ao Shang, why don't you go and ask him what he meant?!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the people in the tent exchanged bewildered glances.

"Shoot it back?"

"Shoot it back!"

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Ao Jue, who was renowned Western Heaven, burst into laughter, exclaiming, "The Divine Lord Guangyuan True Mystery person!"

"Thank you for the praise, Marshal Western Heaven."

Lu Qingfeng smiled at Ao Jue, showing no ill will towards this Western Heaven Marshal. Ao Jue smiled and nodded, repeatedly nodding at Lu Qingfeng.

"How dare you insult me, you brat?!"

Enraged, Zhu Jiu reached out and a Nine-Toothed Rake landed in his hand, ready to smash it down on Lu Qingfeng.

"Marshal Nantian!"

Upon seeing this, Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu gripped the Nine-Toothed Rake, clenching his teeth, and reluctantly put it away.

Lu Qingfeng, however, refused to let it go, saying, "Zhu Jiu committed violence in his tent; I beg the Grand Marshal to take charge!"

"Divine Lord Guangyuan".

Ao Zhuo looked at Lu Qingfeng and frowned slightly.

"Zhu Jiu committed a heinous crime in his tent. We beg the Grand Marshal to take charge and not show favoritism!"

Lu Qingfeng persisted, his voice firm.

"Guangyuan!"

"You've gone too far! You'll get a taste of my rake first!"

Zhu Jiu could no longer tolerate it and raised a rake to smash it at Lu Qingfeng.

"Snort!"

Lu Qingfeng raised his face and stared straight at the Nine-Toothed Rake, neither dodging nor defending, letting it fall down.

"Marshal Nantian, you've passed!"

Ao Zhuo's voice was stern, and without any apparent movement, a strong wind arose, pushing aside the Nine-Toothed Rake.

Clang!

It fell to the ground.

"Zhu Jiu committed violence in his tent; we beg the Grand Marshal to take justice!"

Lu Qingfeng still clasped his hands in a fist salute and addressed Ao Zhuo.

"Wow!"

"I'm so angry!"

Zhu Jiu was True Qi that he seemed to be on the verge of exploding, his arrogant eyes wide and bulging as if about to burst. A terrifying aura surged forth, directly confronting Lu Qingfeng.

"Marshal Nantian, don't go too far!"

Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and with a soft rebuke, he completely shattered Zhu Jiu's aura.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Zhu Jiu gasped for breath, still angry, but dared not do anything more to Lu Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Ao Shang's face darkened and he said, "Divine Lord Guangyuan is deliberately provoking the Southern Heaven Marshal, and now he's making trouble and treating my Heaven-Suppressing Army like a place for him to throw a tantrum and curse?"

Lu Qingfeng listened, his expression cold and stern. With a wave of his sleeve, clouds gathered in the air, revealing a magnificent scene—

One of the generals, with an angry expression, slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

Upon closer inspection.

It was Zhu Jiu.

They're using this trick again!

Upon seeing this, Ao Shang was also enraged, his eyes blazing with Sha Qi intent.

"Ha ha!"

"That's a biased statement. I saw it with my own eyes. It was clearly the Southern Marshal who was rude and provocative by slamming the table first, and you, Eastern Marshal, were fanning the flames from the sidelines. Now you're blaming it all on Divine Lord Guangyuan."

A sly glint flashed in the eyes of Marshal Western Heaven Ao Jue, who was already a restless individual. Now, seeing Guang Primordial Spirit's even more unconventional behavior, he felt a sense of kinship. His nature, which had been restrained by the Heaven-Suppressing Army, was suddenly unleashed. He laughed incessantly and then raised an eyebrow at Lu Qingfeng, saying, "This marshal simply cannot stand by and watch, and must speak up for the Divine Lord."

"Stirring up trouble?"

Ao Shang looked at Ao Jue with a gloomy gaze, and snorted softly, unwilling to fight him.

"Thank you for speaking up for justice, Marshal Western Heaven."

Lu Qingfeng thanked Ao Jue, then pointed at Zhu Jiu and Ao Shang, and said to Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo, "Zhu Jiu committed violence in the tent, Ao Shang insulted me. Please, Grand Marshal, take charge!"

Ao Zhuo had a headache.

Faced with such a stubborn person, there was truly nothing that could be done. Ao Zhuo looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Divine Lord Guangyuan, please give this general some face and let this matter drop, how about it?"

"If the Grand Marshal speaks, I will obey without question."

After Ao Zhuo said all this, Lu Qingfeng relented.

Ao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Both marshals, please remain silent for now."

Seeing that Zhu Jiu and Ao Shang were furious and about to speak, Ao Zhuo quickly interrupted them, not daring to exchange pleasantries with Lu Qingfeng anymore, and went straight to the point, "The reason I troubled you to come here this time is because the Five Hells Demons who serve in the Eastern Heaven Army and the Southern Heaven Army have broken out of their camp and returned to the Censure Office."
