Let's Go, Follow Me to Slay the Demon!

"Since we already know where the demons and devils are hiding in Ping'an County, why don't we have a good fight today?"

Chen Fan, holding the Thousand-Forged Embroidered Spring Blade cast from profound iron, said with eagerness.

In his eyes, these were not just Demons and Devils, but resources for his cultivation path!

"To sacrifice the lives of demons and devils to forge my martial path!"

This was not just empty talk!

"County Yamen constables, heed my command! Follow me to eliminate the Demons and Devils and cleanse Ping'an County city!"

"Send someone to relay orders to the 800 county soldiers in the suburban barracks, ordering them to assemble and enter the city!"

Lu Xuening said loudly.

"Yes!"

The surrounding constables were also inspired by the spirit of Chen Fan and Lu Xuening, their blood boiling, eager to fight these Demons and Devils immediately!

"The Broidered Uniform Guard is still under Cao De's control, so I can't move against them for now. However, I can join you in eliminating the Demons and Devils!"

Chen Fan said to Lu Xuening.

"Your presence is more than enough!"

Lu Xuening looked at Chen Fan and gave a faint smile.

"As long as the three Demons of Black Mountain do not appear, I doubt anyone can be Chen Fan's opponent. Having such a master to escort them is more than sufficient!"

"Before we act, we need to send runners to notify the citizens to close their doors and windows and stay indoors to avoid accidental injury."

"We also need to conscript laborers to urgently repair the city walls. Once the Demons and Devils in the county town are all eliminated, it means Ping'an County has completely fallen out with the Demons and Devils of Black Mountain. In their rage, these Demons and Devils might very well slaughter the city, so we must prepare!"

"Furthermore, it would be best to have the citizens of the towns and villages under Ping'an County come to the county town for emergency refuge, to weather this crisis together."

"Because if the Demons and Devils cannot conquer the county town, they might vent their anger on them, devouring all the citizens of the towns and villages under Ping'an County, turning Ping'an County into an isolated city."

Chen Fan reminded them.

It was difficult to guess the minds of these Demons and Devils, one had to think ahead about everything.

He naturally hoped to kill them all in one go when the Demons and Devils invaded Ping'an County city, completely eradicating the Demon disaster in Ping'an County.

But what if the three Demons of Black Mountain were too strong, even beyond his match, and he could only defend the city without being able to kill them? Or what if these Demons and Devils were not his match but scattered and fled? It would be difficult for him to kill them all.

These were all things that needed to be considered.

As for the possibility of him being completely outmatched by the three Demons of Black Mountain and being instantly killed, Chen Fan felt the probability of such an event was almost zero.

Even if the three Demons of Black Mountain had broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, he didn't believe they could instantly kill him!

Besides, Lu Xuening had once said that these wild great Demons without inheritance rarely broke through to the Spirit Aperture Realm. Chen Fan didn't believe he would be so lucky as to encounter three wild great Demons who had all broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm!

"Leave these matters to me!"

Just then, Constable Liu also stepped forward, his gaze firm as he spoke.

At this moment, he could be considered completely driven!

Soon, everyone sprang into action. Houses closed their doors and windows. County soldiers, in small squads of a hundred, armed with weapons, entered the city in eight groups. Some county soldiers were left to guard the four corners of the city, while the rest, along with the constables and yamen runners of the County Yamen, surrounded the residences of all the officials in the County Yamen.

Some Demons and Devils, hearing the news, fled through the streets, only to be killed by Chen Fan, Lu Xuening, and Huang Chengyue.

The Baihu Office of the Broidered Uniform Guard also moved upon hearing the news. Under Cao De's orders, Li Mo led a team. However, they were not there to help Chen Fan and the others eliminate the Demons and Devils, but to directly confront Chen Fan!

"Chen Fan, do you know what you are doing?"

"The Baihu Master has ordered you to immediately lead five squads of the Broidered Uniform Guard out of the city for patrol!"

"Commander Chen, receive your orders!"

Li Mo looked at Chen Fan and said proudly.

"I'm in a bad mood today, taking a day off. Go back and tell the Baihu Master that I won't be going out for patrol today."

"As a Zongqi Officer of the Broidered Uniform Guard, I should at least be allowed some time off, shouldn't I?"

Chen Fan said calmly.

"You..."

"You are being unreasonable!"

"The Baihu Master has given an order. If you dare to disobey, it will be considered insubordination. I am ordered to apprehend you immediately!"

"Commander Chen, I hope you don't force my hand!"

Li Mo looked at Chen Fan coldly, his threat evident.

Honestly, if it were one-on-one, he wouldn't be confident in taking down this young man. But he had to follow the Baihu Master's orders.

Fortunately, he had dozens of Broidered Uniform Guard brothers behind him. If they all charged forward, even if Chen Fan had become a Spirit Aperture Realm martial artist, they could still apprehend him!

"Let's see who dares!"

"Chen Fan has been entrusted by the Government Office to assist in eliminating Demons and Devils and maintaining the peace of Ping'an County. Whoever dares to touch him will be killed immediately!"

Lu Xuening countered, her words immediately causing the constables, yamen runners, and several experts from the barracks behind her to glare unpleasantly at Li Mo and the Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him.

Li Mo's expression turned grim.

Chen Fan alone wouldn't make him fearful, but adding Lu Xuening, a peak Spirit Concealment Realm expert, and the yamen runners, constables, and troop leaders behind her, who clearly possessed considerable martial cultivation, made it difficult for him to gain an advantage, even if the entire Baihu Office of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was mobilized, without Centurion Cao making a move.

"Commander Chen, Constable Lu, you will regret your actions. The entire Ping'an County will be buried because of you!"

"Withdraw!"

Li Mo sighed deeply and turned to leave with the Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him.

He knew about Cao De's agreement with the three demons of Black Mountain, and he also knew that Cao De was using the demons to eliminate his rivals. However, he didn't think Cao De was wrong for doing so.

Cao De had applied for aid from Longyuan Prefecture multiple times, but each request was rejected because there were more critical situations in Longyuan Prefecture than in Ping'an County, places that needed aid more urgently.

Over time, Cao De lost hope. On one hand, he began to improve his own strength. On the other hand, he contacted the demons near Ping'an County. He killed those he could, and negotiated with those he couldn't, which was how he secured twenty years of superficial peace for Ping'an County.

Therefore, in Li Mo's eyes, Cao De was great, a meritorious official who had fought for a sliver of hope for Ping'an County amidst countless deadly situations!

And now, Chen Fan and Lu Xuening were about to shatter that sliver of hope with their own hands!

"Let's go!"

"Follow me to slay demons!"

Chen Fan said calmly. Lu Xuening and the yamen runners, constables, and troop leaders behind her followed suit.

The group first went to the County Magistrate's mansion. Chen Fan had been here before via a secret passage, but he hadn't left Wang Menglu's room.

A pack of Dog Demons had taken residence in the County Magistrate's mansion. For years, they had coexisted peacefully with the County Magistrate and had not harmed anyone in the mansion. Instead, they had acted as guard dogs in the backyard.

This was because the County Magistrate had been feeding them prisoners from the Ping'an County jail. Sometimes, he would let them out in the middle of the night to forage freely in Ping'an County, while he covered for them.

As the County Magistrate of Ping'an County, he had acted even more outrageously than Constable Liu!

Chen Fan, Lu Xuening, and Huang Chengyue led the group directly into the County Magistrate's mansion, killing any Dog Demons they encountered!

The two leading Dog Demons, a male and a female, were both at the fourth stage of the Spirit Concealment Realm. The other Dog Demons were their offspring, bred over the years.

It was precisely because of the County Magistrate's diligent support that their offspring had grown so quickly, gaining sentience and becoming demons in just a few short years!
