Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 217 - 80: Hundred-Household Slayer (Part 3)

"The people have been delivered today."

"Hmm."

Song Kewang spoke slowly:

"How many?"

"Thirty-seven people, two jars of vital blood." Households Commander Ming bowed his head.

The place suddenly fell silent.

"Thirty-seven people." Song Kewang squinted his eyes:

"Among the four Households Commanders, I had the most hope for you, but alas... you always disappoint me."

"Reporting, Lord." Households Commander Ming replied:

"Although there are many evil demons in the city, there are only so many. After a period of suppression, it is no longer easy to capture them."

"Anyone who had dealings with the White Lotus Sect, I have already apprehended!"

"Is that so?" Song Kewang's voice was indifferent:

"Then why has everyone else not reduced their numbers, are you trying to say they are falsely claiming merit by killing innocents and passing off ordinary people?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Households Commander Ming hastily knelt on one knee.

"Hmph!"

Song Kewang snorted coldly:

"The Thousand Autumn Sword is about to take shape, and it needs sufficient blood sacrifice. I don't care what methods you use, there need to be enough lives here."

"This matter concerns whether I can achieve Grandmaster status, there can be no mistakes!"

"You may leave!"

Households Commander Ming raised his head, his gaze passing over Song Kewang, landing on the sword submerged in the pool of blood in front of him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"I take my leave, Sir!"

Thousand Autumn Sword?

It's just a Demon Sword!

Fang Mansion.

Since Hundred Households Commander Kong occupied the courtyard, Fang Zheng and the others could only huddle in a few rooms in the backyard, using fences to enclose a simple courtyard wall.

Wu Hai, Li Sanqi, and eight others squeezed into one room, while the women shared another.

Only Fang Zheng

still had a room to himself.

Fortunately, as they had recently caught the eye of Households Commander Ming, they were gradually gaining some reputation within the Anxi Army, and Hundred Households Commander Kong's attitude had improved a lot.

At least,

nothing messy happened, and living in the same large courtyard, they managed to coexist peacefully.

"Phew..."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Zheng sat cross-legged, silently practicing the Elemental Thunder Skill.

Thunder roared endlessly within his body, vibrating his muscles, bones, and internal organs. While tempering his body, it was also slowly enhancing his Qi and Blood.

Along with the advancement of his cultivation base, the speed of increase had slowed to an excruciating degree, clearly reaching a certain limit.

Three Blood Perfection!

At this stage of a Martial Artist, there was no further progress to be made. He was only waiting to adjust his internal Qi and Blood, and wait for a thunderstorm to attempt a breakthrough.

"Bang!"

A sudden loud noise interrupted Fang Zheng's training.

"Stop, you thief!"

Someone shouted loudly.

There were crisp sounds of bricks and tiles from the roof, and the hurried footsteps outside were getting closer.

"What's going on?"

Frowning, he stood up and pushed open the door, only to see a group of people rushing into the backyard, waving knives and swords, hacking the fence into a mess.

The backdoor to the courtyard had also fallen to the ground.

The leader was very familiar.

"Hundred Households Commander He!"

Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed:

"What is the meaning of this?"

"The thieves have escaped here." Hundred Households Commander He said with eyes wide open, scanning the area:

"I, He, was just chasing a few rebels. I saw them disappear with my own eyes, and I suspect you are hiding them!"

He waved his large hand, saying:

"Search for me!"

"Nonsense." Fang Zheng took a step forward, blocking the way:

"We serve Lord Thousand Households, and stand against the White Lotus Sect's demons. Why would we hide rebels? Do you have nothing better to do than cause trouble?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"What?" Hundred Households Commander He's face showed a murderous intent:

"We have orders to capture rebels, and you want to obstruct us?"

Upon these words, the people brought by Hundred Households Commander He all gripped their sword handles, while Wu Hai and the others raised their spears high, the atmosphere becoming intense and threatening to erupt.

"What's going on?" Hundred Households Commander Kong rushed over from the front courtyard upon hearing the commotion, quickly saying:

"We're all on the same side, everyone, please don't act rashly, put down the weapons, we can talk this through slowly."

"On the same side?" Hundred Households Commander He snorted coldly:

"He actually thinks so!"

"He's just a pawn who happened to please Households Commander Ming!"

"Unlike Lord He," Fang Zheng spoke in a calm tone:

"Who was clearly brought here by Households Commander Ming, but switched to Households Commander Li, truly opportunistic, caring only for his own interests."

"What did you just say?" Hundred Households Commander He roared in anger, Fang Zheng's words stabbing at his vulnerable nerves, as he swung his mace down fiercely:

"You're courting death!"

"Bang!"

Blades and maces collided, sparks flying.

The others were on the verge of rushing onto each other, ready to fight, a confrontation was imminent.

"Don't fight."

Hundred Households Commander Kong shouted, forcibly separating the two with his hands:

"Let's talk this out!"

"Young Master Fang, say a few less words."

"Everyone stop, anyone who makes a move will have to answer to me, Kong Mou!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

His sheer strength, coupled with the soldiers arriving from the front courtyard, managed to forcibly separate the two groups, creating a path down the middle.

"I was about to rest, but someone kicked the door and barged in, anyone would be angry at that." Fang Zheng flexed his muscles, testing the weight of his knife:

"He, if you want a duel, just say so, I am willing to entertain you."

"Hmph!" Hundred Households Commander He sneered disdainfully:

"You think you can?"

"He was chasing rebels, and saw with his own eyes that they disappeared around here. I've long suspected there was something off about you."

"Nonsense!"

"Scoundrel!"

"Enough." Hundred Households Commander Kong shouted, turning his gaze to Fang Zheng:

"If Young Master Fang is certain there is no issue, then let Hundred Households Commander He search, he'll leave once he's satisfied."

"There's no need for unnecessary conflict."

"Are you sure he was really chasing rebels here?" Fang Zheng asked.

"This..." Hundred Households Commander Kong hesitated.

He knew well enough that Hundred Households Commander He did not like Fang Zheng, often looking for trouble, and kicking the door and barging in tonight was likely intended as a humiliation.

However,

the two were colleagues after all.

"Young Master Fang, calm down." he said in a low voice:

"Let him search, and if there's nothing here, he'll leave. Otherwise, he won't let this go today."

"If they find the rebels, then so be it." Fang Zheng replied:
