I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 90 First Mission (Additional Update for Alliance Hierarch’s Most Dazzling Life Dream)

"In the northern part of Liyun Mountain in Kai Ping Prefecture, there is a village belonging to the Ning'an County under the jurisdiction of Kai Ping Prefecture; however, it's too far from Ning'an County, and the county town has almost no control over it.

A few days ago, a woman from the village ran to Kai Ping Prefecture crying for justice, claiming that the village chief was sacrificing to demons, but she was chased down by the villagers and brought back.

You all will go and investigate, and if there are indeed people sacrificing to demons, you will take care of it.

According to strength and experience, Ye Liuyun will lead this mission."

At Wen Tingyun's desk, Han Zheng and three others stood, listening to his orders.

After hearing the details of the mission, Yang Tianqi and the others showed little reaction.

It was just a simple investigation task, nothing too challenging.

Even if the village was indeed sacrificing to demons, what significant demons could a mere hundred or so people possibly conjure?

"Yes, sir."

The four bowed in response and turned to prepare for departure.

"By the way, Brother Ye, I must thank you for speaking up for justice last time."

Upon exiting the door, Yang Tianqi bowed in gratitude towards Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun shook his head, his expression cold and calm, "No need for thanks, last time it wasn't for you, it was because Guo Zhen went too far.

Joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau means we shouldn't bring those old family and sect ways here; it reflects poorly on all of us at the bureau.

Yang Tianqi, now that you wear this Xuan Armor, you're no longer the tea-serving boy you used to be, and you shouldn't allow yourself to be humiliated freely.

Here at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, what always matters is strength and capability, you can't endure Guo Zhen forever.

Rather than suffer in silence, it's better to find an opportunity to stand up and fight.

I'll go back and pack my belongings; let's meet at the entrance of the Demon Cleansing Bureau."

After saying this, Ye Liuyun turned and left.

Ye Caiyun stuck her tongue out at Yang Tianqi, "That's just how my brother is, don't mind him."

After speaking, Ye Caiyun turned to Han Zheng with a bright smile, "I'm Ye Caiyun, please take good care of me in the future."

"I am Han Zheng, Miss Ye, you are too kind."

After saying this, Ye Caiyun cheerfully bounded off to follow Ye Liuyun, radiating youthful vitality.

Han Zheng watched the retreating figure of Ye Liuyun, squinting his eyes and mused, "Why do I feel that Ye Liuyun seems a bit tsundere?"

Last time he clearly spoke up to help Yang Tianqi and himself, yet now he won't admit it.

He wanted to spur Yang Tianqi to resist Guo Zhen, but the words he used seemed somewhat accusatory, implying that Yang Tianqi was not being assertive enough.

"Tsundere? What does that mean? Brother Ye is not bad, his words may be a bit harsh, but I know he means no harm."

Yang Tianqi said, "I've interacted with Brother Ye a few times, he is a cold-outside but warm-inside type of person, straight-talking and somewhat extreme, but still a good person.

At least no one who has worked with him on missions has ever spoken ill of him; whenever there's danger, Brother Ye is almost always at the forefront.

The Ye siblings had a hard time growing up in their family.

Facing threats within the family, he always shielded his sister, developing this kind of character.

I heard he fell out with the Ye Family's main branch because they moved against Ye Caiyun. He nearly killed the offender, forcing him to leave the Ye Family and join the Demon Cleansing Bureau."

Han Zheng nodded, understanding the situation; it turned out to be a classic case of sibling protectiveness.

Such sibling protectors generally are not weak, and although Ye Liuyun is young, he possesses the cultivation at the Peak of Innate Transcendence Realm.

However, he also hadn't been able to wear the Gold Pattern Xuan Armor, also due to a lack of Merit Points.

At the entrance of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Han Zheng and the others each led a horse as they gathered.

Apart from Yang Tianqi, Hans Zheng and the others didn't carry much, only he had a large bundle on his back.

Even though the Ye family from Fuyun Valley wasn't as prestigious as the Five Families and Seven Sects of Southern Mountain, they were still next in line.

Thus, even though the Ye siblings were not the direct descendants, they still possessed Qiankun Bags.

"Brother Han, do you also have a Qiankun Bag?"

Seeing that it seemed like he was the only poor one among the four, Yang Tianqi felt a bit embarrassed.

"Of course, I couldn't afford it myself; I casually killed an opponent before and snatched it from him."

At this, Ye Liuyun and the other two turned to look at Han Zheng."

"What level of opponent still holds a Qiankun Bag?"

Either the person comes from an extraordinary background, or they possess exceptional strength.

It sounded from Han Zheng's mouth as carefree as if he had snatched a coin from a beggar.

The four men mounted their horses and headed straight for Ning'an County.

Although they were going to Li Family Village, they did not even know where it was located.

Great Zhou was vast in territory, not to mention that the Court's central power was weaker than before, even when Great Zhou had just been founded, the emperor's power did not extend to the counties.

The officially appointed positions by the Court only went as far as the county towns; beyond that, townships and villages were managed by local leaders recommended by the locals, usually prominent local gentry or respected individuals, who merely needed to register with the County Magistrate.

Moreover, the speed at which villages in remote county towns emerged and vanished was quite rapid.

Initially, a place might start with just a few households, and with continuous migration or over generations, it could develop into a village in a few decades.

However, should they encounter demons or criminals like Swallowing Ghost Children, an entire village could be slaughtered and disappear overnight.

It was therefore unrealistic to rely on the local county town to keep their maps updated promptly, so the maps from the Demon Cleansing Bureau couldn't be accurate down to the individual villages; they had to go to the county town first to find someone to guide them.

After racing day and night for three days, Han Zheng and the others arrived at the county town of Ning'an.

Ning'an County was even smaller than Black Stone County.

Black Stone County, at least, was a key route to entering Southern Mountain, frequented by many merchant caravans.

Ning'an County, on the other hand, was tucked in a corner of Kai Ping Prefecture's territory, surrounded on three sides by mountains, in a poor region.

They went straight to the County Government. Before the constable guarding the gate had time to ask, Ye Liuyun had already slapped the badge of the Demon Cleansing Bureau onto the man's face.

"Go, call your County Magistrate out."

Moments later, a short and stout County Magistrate with small mung bean eyes and a red-bloated nose, clumsily fumbling with his official robe's buttons, came out smiling apologetically, "I had no idea that esteemed officers from the Demon Cleansing Bureau were coming; I have failed in offering you a proper welcome, please forgive me."

Han Zheng could distinctly smell the thick scent of makeup on him, and there was even a lipstick mark on his neck.

This County Magistrate was indulging in debauchery in broad daylight, truly audacious.

Ye Liuyun seemed to have noticed these details as well. With a slightly stern face, he coldly said, "The Demon Cleansing Bureau received a mission. Someone from Li Family Village in Ning'an County went to Kai Ping Prefecture to lodge a complaint, claiming that the local village chief was sacrificing to demons. Do you know about this?"

The County Magistrate's small mung bean eyes showed a hint of confusion: "Sacrificing to demons? I haven't heard about this at all."

Then, the County Magistrate angrily said, "These troublesome civilians! If they have issues, why don't they come to me? Instead, they run off to Kai Ping Prefecture spouting nonsense and bothering you distinguished officers from the Demon Cleansing Bureau. It's really detestable!"

Ye Liuyun frowned, "Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll find out after investigating. Now, you immediately find someone familiar with the route to Li Family Village and take us to see it."

The County Magistrate suddenly froze, then flashed a sycophantic smile at Ye Liuyun, "Please wait a moment, Esteemed Officer."

Then the County Magistrate shouted towards the outside, "Master! Master!"

A middle-aged scholar, thin and wearing scholar's robes, walked in.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

"Do we have a village called Li Family Village in our county? Do you know where it is?"

Ye Caiyun rolled her eyes at this, and Han Zheng and the others were speechless.

This County Magistrate was utterly incompetent, not even knowing whether such a village was under his jurisdiction.

The Master was quite capable and promptly responded, "Ning'an County has three Li Family Villages. Which one are you referring to, my lord?"

Ye Liuyun replied indifferently, "The one under Liyun Mountain."

"Oh, that Li Family Village. It's the farthest from our county town, sends someone to the county town only once every six months to sell animal hides and mountain goods and buy necessities like salt, wine, and textiles. The Tiger Bone Wine you're drinking was also sent by someone from Li Family Village."

The County Magistrate glared at him, "Answer what you're asked, why add useless extra details? Has anyone been to that Li Family Village?"

"That place is quite far; not many have been there. However, three years ago, our arrest officer Feng did go there.

It was during the Magistrate's birthday, and you weren't sure what gift to give. Arrest Officer Feng went to Li Family Village and got a rare White Tiger skin for the Magistrate as a birthday gift.

It's because of this deed that you promoted him to arrest officer; have you forgotten?"

The County Magistrate glared fiercely again, "Enough, enough, enough! I said answer what you're asked; why add so much unnecessary chatter?"

After sending the Master away, the County Magistrate immediately called for an arrest officer in his thirties who looked noticeably slick.

"These distinguished officers from the Demon Cleansing Bureau want to go to Li Family Village under Liyun Mountain. Take them there, follow all their orders, and be alert, understand?"

"Rest assured, my lord, I understand."

Arrest Officer Feng, with his ingratiating, slick smile, was clearly much more suave than the Master.
