Chapter 18: Seeking the Skin of a Demon

"Those civil and military officials in the court are indeed hateful, but compared with the Demon Suppression Division, they are nothing."

"Damn Demon Suppression Division, damn demon suppressors, damn demon slayers!"

"If demons and ghosts were so easy to kill, the former Great Ning Dynasty would not have been destroyed. Why can't they coexist peacefully and have to make so many troubles?"

...

Cao Wenzheng was so angry that he cursed, without the demeanor of a Jinyiwei commander and chief eunuch. He was obviously very angry with the Demon Suppression Division.

Based on what he said, plus his previous understanding of this matter, Lu Changjing already had a rough guess in his mind.

The Demon Suppression Division is not an institution of the court, but an institution established by many countries in Shenzhou and martial artists, spread all over Shenzhou.

Its main responsibility is to suppress demons and ghosts in the world and prevent them from causing chaos in the world.

The management inside is relatively loose, but as long as human beings pass the review, they can basically join the Demon Suppression Division.

Even ordinary people who have not yet entered the path of a warrior are eligible to join the Demon Suppression Division and accept various tasks related to slaying demons and monsters. After completing them, they can receive corresponding rewards.

The demon suppressors within the division are divided into four levels: iron, bronze, silver, and gold. This level is only related to the demons and monsters killed, and is not linked to anything else.

No matter what level of warriors you are, as long as you join the Demon Suppression Division, you will start as an iron demon suppressor and improve your demon suppressor level by killing demons and monsters.

The higher the level of the demon suppressor, the more treatment and benefits you can get, including some tasks with rich rewards, special natural treasures, and even magic pills, magic medicines, and magic skills.

Therefore, many warriors are willing to join the Demon Suppression Division to get various rewards, or simply to fight for their lives to kill demons and monsters.

The Demon Suppression Division can effectively clean up the demons and monsters in various countries, including the Great Ning Dynasty.

However, Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng, and others are quite dissatisfied with the Demon Suppression Division.

The reason is simple. Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and others only want the dynasty to be peaceful and not to cause any trouble. The most important thing is not to delay their practice.

So they hope to live in peace with the demons and ghosts. Why do they have to fight and kill each other and have no time to practice?

The reason why the former Daning Dynasty fell was related to the ancestors' insistence on killing all the demons and ghosts.

As a result, the demons and ghosts were not killed, but the Daning Dynasty fell to the level of the dynasty, and even its own inheritance was lost.

All this made Ning Zhongyu no longer have the courage and confidence to kill all the demons and ghosts, so he decided to live in peace with the demons and ghosts, and everyone kept their distance.

In order to make these demons and ghosts behave themselves and not make trouble, they even acquiesced to the major forces to agree to some conditions of the demons and ghosts, and appropriately offer some living people, as long as they did not make trouble.

This is contrary to the duties of the Demon Suppression Division. Even though Cao Wenzheng has repeatedly united many forces to put pressure on the Demon Suppression Division branch set up in the Daning Dynasty, he still cannot control these demon suppressors for mission rewards.

So from time to time, there will be a big war between the demon suppressors and the demons and ghosts, disrupting the order of the entire dynasty. At this time, Cao Wenzheng and others are needed to clean up their butts and appease the disturbed demons and ghosts.

Lu Changjing does not agree with the behavior of Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and others.

Especially when he learned that in order to maintain stability and avoid disturbing their practice, Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and others actually secretly paid tribute to these demons and ghosts, or acquiesced to these demons and ghosts plundering some humans and keeping them in captivity.

Lu Changjing no longer has any good feelings for these people. What is the difference between this and treason.

On the surface, they are shouting for the overall situation of the court, but in fact, it is not for their own interests.

With the cooperation of the Demon Suppression Division, Ning Zhongyu would not have allowed demons and ghosts to run rampant in the dynasty if he had paid more attention. In fact, they have become a serious concern in just a few years.

Even so, Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and others still did not repent, and repeatedly obstructed the Demon Suppression Division's demon suppression mission. They are simply hateful and murderous.

But Lu Changjing can't even save his own life now, so how can he intervene in this matter.

At present, all he can do is practice well and improve his strength to a higher level as soon as possible.

When he replaces Ning Zhongyu's position, he is ready to join the Demon Suppression Division to show his completely different attitude from it.

I heard that there are countless treasures in the Demon Suppression Division. If you can use the power of the entire Great Ning Dynasty to kill a large number of demons and ghosts, you should be able to exchange for a lot of good things.

Ning Zhongyu, Cao Wenzheng and others are also fools. They don't take advantage of such good conditions and have to collude with demons and ghosts. It really loses the face of the human race.

After cursing for a long time and sending several gusts of wind to Lu Changjing, Cao Wenzheng left.

When Cao Wenzheng's figure disappeared, Lu Changjing's face immediately darkened and his smile was gone.

Give him another year, or even less, he will definitely make Cao Wenzheng look good.

A traitor who only knows how to kowtow to demons and monsters is not worth showing mercy.

Practice, he must continue to practice!

So he accelerated the circulation of qi and blood again, and the Five Elements Golden Body Technique was brought to its extreme by him.

The Five Elements Pills fell into his mouth one by one, like eating and drinking water, and turned into food for improvement.

The last time he came, considering that he didn't dare to come again in a short time, Tan Qingyun brought him a lot of Five Elements Pills.

These five-element pills are enough for him to consume for a long time, and they can probably be promoted to the earth gate realm.

At this moment, more than ten days have passed since Tan Qingyun came last time. Under normal circumstances, she should have come long ago. I don’t know if Lin Yixin has discovered anything.

Sighing, Lu Changjing, who has tasted the marrow and tasted the taste, had to concentrate on practicing. Only with sufficient strength can he get rid of the current predicament.

In the evening a few days later, before Cao Wenzheng came back, another concubine came to him.

"Concubine Yi wants to see your majesty!"

Hearing the shout outside, Lu Changjing's mind emerged with Concubine Yi's information.

Her status in the harem is second only to Imperial Noble Concubine Rong Xiyao and Noble Concubine Tang Qingyi, and is on par with Concubine Duan Lin Yixin, Zhen Concubine Tan Qingyun and others.

According to Cao Wenzheng's order, it is best to announce the meeting of concubines with higher status like this when they come to pay homage, so as not to be suspected by the other party.

For this reason, he was specifically told how to treat these concubines. Fortunately, Ning Zhongyu had not had much contact with them before, so even if something went wrong, he could get away with it.

If it is an acquaintance like Lin Yixin who has been playing together since childhood, it is not easy to be vague, so try not to meet them in the short term.

When you get used to the life of being an emperor and your disguise is flawless, you can meet these acquaintances more often.
