It's also out of helplessness!

Lu Xuenning told Chen Fan that the entire Ping'an County was corrupt.

Demonic Creatures colluded with officials, lurking within the county to rob and murder, acting with impunity.

He hadn't believed it before, but now that he had killed the great White Ape demon at the Spring View Pavilion and teamed up with Lu Xuenning to kill four lesser demons under the White Ape, he had no choice but to believe.

The great White Ape demon could establish the Spring View Pavilion, Ping'an County's largest brothel, as its front, and it was absolutely impossible without the support of the government.

From this, it could be seen that some people in the government were colluding with Demonic Creatures.

And they, the Jinyiwei, had been patrolling Ping'an County but had never discovered any Demonic Creatures harming people, which was clearly unrealistic.

From this, it could be seen that there must be someone within the Jinyiwei colluding with Demonic Creatures.

And that person, Lu Xuenning suspected was the Jinyiwei Baihu Officer Cao De, and now Chen Fan also felt it was highly possible.

If even the highest-ranking person in the Ping'an County Jinyiwei Baihu Office was colluding with Demonic Creatures, then would the Zongqi Officers, Xiaoqi Officers under him, or even the veterans who had joined the Jinyiwei for many years not know about this matter?

Or were they all pretending to be foolish and indifferent, acting as if it were none of their business and staying out of it?

"So, Brother Zhao Jia was silenced because he discovered evidence of someone within the Jinyiwei colluding with Demonic Creatures?"

"But Brother Zhao Jia always patrolled and went on missions with me before he went on that urgent patrol mission."

Chen Fan stood to the side, his mind racing, and suddenly he thought of something.

The night before they went on the urgent patrol mission, he and Zhao Jia had encountered something.

He saw a fast-moving black shadow and thought it might be a Demonic Creature at work, so they followed the figure all the way to a luxurious separate courtyard in the North City.

The situation was urgent at the time, and he didn't have time to get the permission of the courtyard owner before climbing over the wall to enter the separate courtyard to search for demons, while Zhao Jia went around to the back door of the separate courtyard to surround and intercept.

As a result, after entering the separate courtyard, he heard bursts of decadent music, and the owner of the separate courtyard was also a master. Upon sensing his arrival, he let out a sharp roar, telling him to get lost.

He looked around the separate courtyard but saw no sign of Demonic Creatures, so he told the courtyard owner that perhaps a Demonic Creature had infiltrated his separate courtyard and asked him to be careful and seek help from the Jinyiwei if anything happened.

The owner of the separate courtyard snorted and ignored him. Feeling awkward, he turned and left.

"I need to properly investigate that separate courtyard in the North City when I have time."

"That courtyard is not far from the County Magistrate's residence. The owner of the separate courtyard must be either rich or noble, so it shouldn't be difficult to inquire about."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

"Where are the Demonic Creatures?"

Just then, the County Lieutenant Liu Xuan of Ping'an County arrived with his men. He was shocked to see the great White Ape demon, whose head had been severed from its body. Then, he glanced at Lu Xuenning and asked:

"Head Constable Lu, did you kill this great White Ape demon?"

"That would be me!"

Lu Xuenning, feeling a bit guilty, took all the credit.

"Disaster!"

"Disaster!"

"Do you know the origin of this White Ape Great Demon?"

"Our Ping'an County backs onto Black Mountain. On this Black Mountain, there are three renowned Great Demons. These three Great Demons are the Tiger Demon Mountain Lord, the Wolf Demon Howling Moon, and the Ape Demon Three Eyes."

"The White Ape you killed today is the brother of Three Eyes. If Three Eyes finds out his brother died by your hand, he won't let you go."

County Lieutenant Liu Xuan said with a mournful face.

"Why must the County Lieutenant be so afraid? If the Ape Demon dares to come, we'll just kill it. You are the County Lieutenant of Ping'an County, responsible for its security. If you are so afraid of Demonic Creatures, how can you protect the Common People of Ping'an County?"

Lu Xuenning looked at County Lieutenant Liu Xuan's tearful appearance and felt annoyed. If the officials of Ping'an County were all like this, then Ping'an County was beyond saving.

"I'm afraid of Demonic Creatures?"

"If the Ape Demon Three Eyes really comes to demand an explanation, Head Constable Lu, do you dare to bear the responsibility alone?"

"If that Demonic Creature goes berserk, how many innocent Common People will die in the demon calamity? Is this the situation Head Constable Lu wants to see?"

"Can Head Constable Lu guarantee that the Common People of Ping'an County will not suffer revenge from the Demonic Creatures because of this matter?"

County Lieutenant Liu Xuan looked at Lu Xuenning and asked with a mocking smile.

"Are we just going to let the Demonic Creatures run rampant?"

"Everyone might as well go to the top floor of the Spring View Pavilion to see. This White Ape Great Demon used human blood as a wine pool and women's bodies as a forest of meat. Who knows how many people died at the hands of this White Ape Great Demon."

"Now that I have killed it, and Constable Liu is so timid, what kind of County Lieutenant of Ping'an County are you?"

Lu Xuenning was so angered by County Lieutenant Liu Xuan's words that she almost laughed.

"You are audacious!"

"Don't think you can be so reckless just because you are an Airdropped constable from Longyuan Prefecture."

"This is Ping'an County, and you are just a petty constable!"

County Lieutenant Liu Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Isn't slaying demons and eradicating evil the duty of your Jinyiwei?"

"I wonder if Commander Li thinks I am right or wrong?"

Lu Xuenning turned her gaze to Jinyiwei Zongqi Officer Li Mo, who was standing by watching the show.

"I think Head Constable Lu did nothing wrong."

"But County Lieutenant has his own difficulties."

"Our Ping'an County's Jinyiwei and Government Office are weak, and the Three Great Demons on Black Mountain are all powerful. It's not a good thing to truly provoke them."

"Demonic Creatures are brutal and hold grudges. If you kill one, you will face frantic retaliation from other Demonic Creatures. We Martial Artists have strong powers, so we are not afraid of retaliation, but it is the Common People of Ping'an County who suffer."

Li Mo's words seemed to be impartial, but in reality, he agreed more with County Lieutenant Liu Xuan's statement.

"So we should let the Demonic Creatures run rampant and harm the people?"

Lu Xuenning really didn't understand what these two were thinking.

"It's out of helplessness!"

"We can only sacrifice the interests of a small portion of people to exchange for the peace and tranquility of the entire Ping'an County, and then accumulate strength, waiting for the heavens to change, before we can capture all the Demonic Creatures!"

Li Mo sighed and said.

However, Chen Fan, standing not far behind him, saw a slight curve on his lips, clearly not taking Lu Xuenning's words to heart.

To him, Lu Xuenning might even be foolish and laughable.

"This kind of peace is like trying to put out a fire by adding fuel to it. As long as there is fuel, the fire will not go out."

"You repeatedly compromise with the Demonic Creatures, and they will first harm the people, and then they will attack you. At that time, the entire Ping'an County will become a paradise for Demonic Creatures."

"Everyone present will become food for the Demonic Creatures!"

Lu Xuenning shook her head. She was completely disappointed with the Ping'an County Government Office and the Jinyiwei.

Perhaps County Lieutenant Liu Xuan and Jinyiwei Zongqi Officer Li Mo were not truly colluding with the Demonic Creatures, but their attitude of turning a blind eye to the Demonic Creatures infiltrating Ping'an County was like sending the Common People of Ping'an County into the mouths of the Demonic Creatures!

Chen Fan took in the scene before him and felt extremely stifled.

"Head Constable Lu is perhaps being alarmist."

"Our Jinyiwei's mission is to slay demons and eliminate evil. Once we see Demonic Creatures harming the people, we will show no mercy. The so-called compromise and concession do not exist."

Jinyiwei Zongqi Officer Li Mo said perfunctorily.

"I hope so!"

Lu Xuenning snorted coldly and left the Spring View Pavilion directly. Her subordinates looked at her, then at County Lieutenant Liu, and a few of them wanted to leave with Lu Xuenning.

County Lieutenant Liu swept them with a cold glance, as if saying, "I can't deal with her, but I can deal with you?"

The Constables and Yamen Runners who wanted to follow Lu Xuenning also stopped.
