Not to mention how the Demonic Beasts were thinking, Su Ye dispersed the Blood Fiend and floated back to the Demon Suppression Division personnel. Before anyone could step forward to flatter him, his gaze locked onto Qian Hao, and he slowly approached.
Seeing this, Qian Hao's legs trembled. Every step Su Ye took felt like it was crushing his heart, and a warm current spread from his legs.
His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground, his voice choked with tears, "Su Ye, I was wrong. It was all a misunderstanding. It was my Big Brother."
"Yes, it was my Big Brother, Qian Chengzhu. He said Yunzhou would be in chaos and told me to take this opportunity to gain more benefits and make plans early."
"It's really none of my business."
Hearing this, Su Ye frowned slightly and said coldly, "You are the fourth young master of the Qian Family, Qian Hao."
"Y-yes, it's me." Qian Hao nodded repeatedly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately exclaimed.
"This person is the fourth young master of the Qian Family!"
A middle-aged Captain frowned and said, "That's not the point. The point is that Yunzhou is in great chaos. What exactly is going on?"
Those from aristocratic families who had been watching Su Ye murmured, "He's called Su Ye. This person is so terrifying at such a young age. How could there be no news of him at all?"
"Could it be that Guardian Jiang deliberately concealed it? Now that the situation is urgent, he's finally revealed himself to stabilize public morale."
Someone noticed Su Ye's attire and exclaimed, "He's actually just a Captain! How is this possible? With his strength, he could completely hold the position of Grand Commander."
"Grand Commander? I think at least Deputy Envoy."
Su Ye ignored the crowd's discussion and kicked Qian Hao away, coldly questioning, "Yunzhou will be in chaos. What do you know?"
Qian Hao was terrified. "Nothing, I was just speaking out of panic. You misheard."
Su Ye pondered. Earlier, the Divine Blade Sect Master, Ji Changqing, had said that the Green Bamboo Sword Sect had a powerful expert guarding it, but the entire sect had evacuated Yunzhou. He had said they were evacuating.
These sects and aristocratic families had clearly known about the great changes in Yunzhou long ago. The Green Bamboo Sword Sect, being the only force in Yunzhou with a True Martial Realm expert, had actually evacuated the entire sect from Yunzhou. One could imagine the severity of this matter.
As for that True Martial Realm ancestor, it was said that he had been stationed at Demon Suppression Pass for many years, and his strength was unfathomable. He had entered that True Martial Realm even earlier than the Yunzhou Garrison Commander, Jiang Qingcang.
Su Ye immediately realized that what the woman from the Blood Lotus Cult had said was not false. The Nether Abyss Demon Court might really be coming.
With this thought, Su Ye stomped his foot fiercely.
"You... you're going to kill me."
Feeling the intense killing intent, Qian Hao was extremely terrified. "I am the fourth young master of the Qian Family! My grandfather is the Prefectural Commander of Ruichang Prefecture."
"I advise you to be sensible, or you'll end up dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled "bang," and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Qian Hao's entire body exploded.
The scene instantly fell into deathly silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. This was the direct bloodline of the Qian Family. Killing him just like that, weren't they afraid of retaliation?
Just then, a man walked out from the crowd. He was about thirty years old, burly, and spoke in a low voice, "Perhaps you all don't know, but this position of Commander Qian Hao held was taken from Captain Su."
"What do you mean?" Everyone snapped out of their thoughts and eagerly asked.
The speaker was named Zhao Hu. He had the backing of the Wu Family and had heard about Su Ye's deeds from Zheng Yu earlier. He had thought Su Ye was just an ordinary Captain, but he didn't expect him to be so formidable.
Slaying Demonic Beasts was as easy as eating and drinking. Thinking back to Zheng Yu's words now, it was simply absurd.
Now that Su Ye had completely offended the Qian Family, if he could seize this opportunity to bring Su Ye into the Wu Family and leverage this connection, wouldn't his future prospects be greatly improved?
Zhao Hu sneered, "Before Captain Su entered the Demon Suppression Division, he was just a Constable."
"Back then, Captain Su single-handedly infiltrated the trap set by the Corpse Demon Cult and thwarted their sinister plot to blood-sacrifice an entire city of citizens."
"After this matter, he should have been promoted to Commander, but who would have thought the Qian Family would interfere?"
"They forcefully attributed the credit to Qian Hao. If this happened to any of you brothers, how would you feel?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a pang of bitterness. Were they supposed to be bullied just because they had no background? For a moment, they were all indignant.
"This Qian Family is truly hateful, to do such a despicable thing."
"Pah!"
"The merits we earned with our lives were actually stolen by these pampered sons of rich families. It's too much of a bully."
"Brother Su Ye, if the Qian Family dares to retaliate, we brothers will definitely support you with all our might," Zhao Hu pledged with cupped fists.
Jiang Qingyun, returning from afar, quickly rejoined the crowd. "How could such a dirty thing happen? Brothers, rest assured, I will report this to my Master and thoroughly investigate this matter. I will not tolerate it."
He then looked at Su Ye. "Captain Su, I will report tonight's events truthfully. There is also one matter I hope Captain Su will grant."
"Grand Commander Jiang, please speak freely," Su Ye nodded.
"After this matter is settled, I wish to invite Captain Su to meet my Master together."
Su Ye pondered for a moment. Meeting Ye Haichuan... it was probably because he had used the power of the Blood Fiend just now, making Jiang Qingyun believe his realm had reached the Core Formation Realm. That was why he extended this invitation.
Understanding the reason, Su Ye nodded slightly. From stepping on Qian Hao to death to Jiang Qingyun's arrival, it had only been a moment. At this time, the flustered Demonic Beasts had all gathered together.
The Divine Blade Sect members also gathered, constantly observing the Demon Suppression Division side, searching for that tall figure from earlier.
"Captain Su," Jiang Qingyun cupped his fists.
Su Ye raised his hand to interrupt the other party. He knew what this person was thinking; they didn't care about dealing with these Demonic Beasts, which suited his own intentions perfectly.
His gaze swept over the Demonic Beasts and the Divine Blade Sect. Su Ye secretly spent 3300 points to upgrade his [Vast Sea True Intent Fist] to perfection. Before he could fully adapt, various boxing techniques flooded his mind.
He leaped forward, charging directly at the group of Demonic Beasts.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiao and the other Demonic Beasts became vigilant.
"What do we do now? That human is coming."
Yuan Xiao snorted, "What are you afraid of? Although that human is strong, we aren't fish on a chopping block. If we all attack together, we can at least hold him off."
He then looked towards the Divine Blade Sect, "Everything started to support your reception. Now a powerful enemy has appeared."
Yuan Xiao waved his hand, quickly signaling the other Demonic Beasts to retreat, placing the Divine Blade Sect members in front of them.
An elder from the Divine Blade Sect was furious upon seeing this. "Yuan Xiao, what do you mean by this? We are all in the same boat. Isn't this action suicidal?"
"Pah," the old man retorted disdainfully. "If you don't want to, we brothers don't mind taking care of the disciples you sent out of the territory." a sheep demon responded contemptuously.
"Brother Sheep, well said," Yuan Xiao echoed coldly.
"You, you..." The Divine Blade Sect elder was unable to refute. To gain the support of these Demonic Beasts, they had not only secretly transferred their families and personal disciples out of Yunzhou.
They had also handed over countless resources. Now, the Divine Blade Sect had no room to retreat.
"Sect Master, I fear we chose wrongly this time."
At this moment, Jiang Qingyun noticed Su Ye's actions and immediately gave the order, "Everyone, join Captain Su and take down these Demonic Beasts and those traitors!"
