Calling on the Door

A quarter of an hour later.

The demons present turned and fled in all directions.

In reality, only a few hundred demons remained.

[Host has slain twenty demons, rewarded with 430 years of demon lifespan.]

Seeing the system notification, Chen Guan's face broke into a smile.

"Lord Mu, shall we continue the pursuit?"

Mu Yuan shook his head at Chen Guan's words. "There's no need. The remaining demons can no longer pose a threat to the citizens in the city. Once the new county magistrate of Qingshi County arrives, they can send troops to exterminate them!"

Now, they only had one enemy to face.

That was the great demon of Tushan who had already fled.

Chen Guan nodded and followed Mu Yuan and the others back into the city.

Although for these members of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Chen Guan's cultivation realm was far behind theirs.

However, his performance at Tushan had earned everyone's respect.

After returning to the city, they were all willing to build a good relationship with Chen Guan.

"Lord Mu, who is Mr. Zhao? He said he was acting on instructions from someone above. Who is this person above?"

In the evening, Chen Guan went to Mu Yuan's room and asked.

Mu Yuan shook his head. "I'm investigating this matter as well, but there are no clues yet! The Blazing Flame Sect colluded with demons, they must know something. Tomorrow, we'll head directly to the Blazing Flame Sect!"

Chen Guan agreed to this.

Sleepless night.

The next morning.

Chen Guan and several Demon Suppressing Division officials, including Mu Yuan, headed towards the Blazing Flame Sect.

"Lord Mu, we killed Xiong Yan this time. The Blazing Flame Sect probably won't let us off easily! Is it enough for just us few to go?"

Chen Guan wasn't afraid.

It was just his first time facing a martial arts sect, so he wanted to be fully prepared!

"It's fine. I've already spread the word that we are going to the Blazing Flame Sect. If they dare to attack us, it would be an open act of defiance against the court! They don't have the guts for that!"

Mu Yuan smiled and shook his head as he explained.

Chen Guan was relieved by his words.

In the evening.

They arrived at the Blazing Flame Sect.

"Lord Mu, long time no see! I knew you were coming, so I came out to personally welcome you!"

An old man in a red robe had been waiting at the entrance of the Blazing Flame Sect.

Mu Yuan nodded expressionlessly. "Elder, you are too kind. Is the Sect Master within the sect?"

"Yes, the Sect Master has already prepared a grand banquet at the sect, waiting to welcome Lord Mu and the others!"

The Great Elder quickly smiled obsequiously and led them into the Blazing Flame Sect.

The disciples within the sect were currently training. Seeing them enter, they all wore expressions of displeasure.

"The Blazing Flame Sect has over a thousand disciples in total, with quite a few strong individuals! It's an old sect in the martial arts world with considerable prestige!"

Seeing Chen Guan's puzzled expression.

Mu Yuan slowly explained to him.

Chen Guan warily scanned the surrounding Blazing Flame Sect disciples, ready to make a move at any moment.

The group entered the main hall of the Blazing Flame Sect.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

All the high-ranking members of the Blazing Flame Sect were gathered here, and the banquet was already prepared.

"Lord Mu, please be seated quickly. I've long wanted to invite Lord Mu to be my guest, but I never had the chance!"

An old man in a fiery red robe stood up.

From his seating position, it was clear that this was the Sect Master of the Blazing Flame Sect.

Mu Yuan, along with Chen Guan and the others, sat down at the guest seats without a word. Soon, some women came to pour them wine.

After three rounds of drinks and five courses of food!

The Sect Master of the Blazing Flame Sect, Sun Shihu, directly asked, "Lord Mu, may I ask why you have come to the Blazing Flame Sect this time?"

"Sect Master Sun, the Third Elder, Xiong Yan, accompanied this official to Tushan and died in battle today along with the other disciples of the Blazing Flame Sect. Naturally, I have come to inform you, Sect Master Sun!"

Mu Yuan picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Sun Shihu was shocked by these words, "Is this true? Are these Tushan demons so powerful?"

"Not exactly, but this Xiong Yan colluded with Tushan demons and intended to kill me. That's why I took action and killed him! Does Sect Leader Sun know about this?"

Mu Yuan spoke slowly, his expression unreadable.

But the inner energy of the Demon Suppressing Division members around them had already surged.

Although the Blazing Flame Sect dared not go to war with the imperial court, no one could guarantee that Sun Shihu wouldn't suddenly lose his temper.

"That's unlikely, isn't it? I know Xiong Yan. He can be a bit impulsive, but he's a righteous person. Lord Mu, are you mistaken?"

Sun Shihu appeared extremely disbelieving.

But Chen Guan's sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on his face.

He clearly saw a cunning smile on Sun Shihu's face, proving that he was involved in this matter!

However, since Mu Yuan hadn't made a move, he also continued to drink his wine without any change in demeanor!

Mu Yuan let out a cold laugh and shook his head, "So, this was all Xiong Yan's personal act, and it has nothing to do with your Blazing Flame Sect?"

"Naturally. If Lord Mu has conclusive evidence, I truly have nothing to say. But Lord Mu cannot wrongly accuse an innocent person! The Blazing Flame Sect has always been about taking from the rich and giving to the poor, and we have never oppressed the common people!"

Sun Shihu quickly nodded, his expression earnest.

Although Chen Guan could tell that Sun Shihu was suspicious.

He couldn't remind Mu Yuan in front of everyone.

"That's good. I came here today merely to remind Sect Leader Sun that opposing the imperial court leads to a dead end. I hope you will think carefully!"

Mu Yuan raised his wine cup and drank with Sun Shihu.

His words finally relaxed the people around them, and they began to toast and chat merrily.

That evening, at Sun Shihu's enthusiastic invitation, they prepared to stay at the Blazing Flame Sect for the night.

After returning to their rooms, Mu Yuan called everyone over.

"Lord Mu, the Sect Leader of the Blazing Flame Sect is definitely suspicious! Your subordinate saw cunning on his face!"

Chen Guan's words made Mu Yuan nod with great satisfaction.

He then slowly said, "I know. How could Xiong Yan have done something like this alone? It must have been ordered by Sun Shihu! However, we cannot act against them directly right now, as some disciples from the Phoenix Perch Sect are still here!"

"What? They actually brought people back?"

Chen Guan couldn't help but ask in surprise.

After suffering inhuman torture, the disciples of the Phoenix Perch Sect were still brought back to be tormented.

These people from the Blazing Flame Sect were truly inhuman!

"Precisely! And there are definitely demons lurking here! If a fight breaks out, it will be difficult to deal with. So, what we need to do now is find out where the Phoenix Perch Sect disciples are imprisoned and act together with them!"

Mu Yuan directly assigned the task.

Just then, a Demon Suppressing Division official suddenly let out a pale, paper-like scream.

Then he foamed at the mouth and collapsed on the ground!
