Chapter 428: Chapter 347 My Mount? (Request for monthly ticket and subscription)_1

When the body of the Demon Kylin was nailed with the Zhenhun Nail and further chained, Mu Qiangwei let out a light sigh, her expression complex, she clenched her fist in salutation towards Li Xuan: "Xiaowei Li ingeniously managed to capture the Demon Kylin without lifting a finger today, I admire you!"

Not only her, but almost everyone present also looked at Li Xuan with an extraordinary gaze.

"Truly worthy of being the ’Tiger of Jinling’!"

The one who said this was Zhu Chiling, his body wrapped in even more bandages, his eyes clearly filled with unwillingness, he spoke in a deep voice: "Xiaowei Li gathered so many Yuhanzhu shrimps here, I presume it was deliberate, were you planning to lure this Demon Kylin here to capture it? However, Li Xuan did not give any heads up in advance, which was quite disrespectful to our fellow colleagues."

Li Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had no such intention at all. It was all due to a misunderstanding by Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue who misinterpreted the Shanweiju owner’s intentions, which resulted in all the Yuhanzhu shrimps being sent to him.

The key point was he had no prior knowledge that the Demon Kylin would be so obsessed with Yuhanzhu shrimp, so fond of it, and even force his way into the Liudao Division for it.

If he had known this in advance, why would he bother investigating the case? If he gathered all the Yuhanzhu shrimp in the city here, wouldn’t the Demon Kylin be easy to capture?

However, as soon as the words reached his mouth, Li Xuan found himself unable to speak. It seemed that no matter how he explained it, it would be wrong. He felt very out of place.

"Earl Jingan’s reputation is indeed well deserved." True Lord Lingyou strokes his long beard with a smiling face: "But how should we decide on the credit for capturing the Demon Kylin, Deputy Venerable, what do you think?"

"According to the previous decision made by the Merit Calculation Tower, those who discover the Demon Kylin’s tracks are rewarded with twenty merits and those who capture and kill it are rewarded with eighty merits and two top-grade magical implements."

The deputy Venerable snorted coldly: "I am not so forgetful when it comes to rewards and punishments. This beast was lured here by Xiaowei Li and due to Li Xuan’s drug, it lost its ability to fight. Naturally, all the merits will be credited to him."

However, Li Xuan stepped forward a few steps, saluting the two: "Two lords, my Shenyi Department was able to capture this fierce beast today because of the collective efforts of everyone, and it is not the achievement of Li Xuan alone.

The one who discovered the Demon Kylin’s preferences was my Boshi of Demons, Yue Qianqian; the one who provided the Disappear for Three Days Powder was Luo Yan; and these Yuhanzhu shrimps were brought here by my subordinates, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue."

The deputy Venerable’s face was stern, expressionless: "That’s your Shenyi Department’s own business, as the General Commander of the Shenyi Department, you can negotiate with the Merit Calculation Tower directly."

"But sir, what I am speaking about is not merit." Li Xuan raised his head, a glint flashing in his eyes: "The reason why my Shenyi Department was able to capture this ferocious beast is due to the collective efforts of everyone in Shenyi Department, not the achievement of Li Xuan alone.

The one who discovered the preferences of the Demon Kylin was my Boshi of Demons, Yue Qianqian; the one who provided Disappear for Three Days Powder was Six Paths Bureau Colonel Luo Yan; and these Yuhanzhu Shrimps were brought here by my subordinates, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue."

The deputy Venerable’s face was stern, without any expression: "This is your department’s own matter, you, as the Shenyi Department’s commander, can negotiate with the Merit Calculation Tower on your own."

"But sir, I was not talking about merits." Li Xuan lifted his head, his eyes gleaming: "My Shenyi Department’s team is crowded with talents. Over a hundred elites gathered here with the intention of serving the Liudao Division, of annihilating demons, and protecting this peaceful world.

But since the middle of November to the beginning of December, from the establishment of Shenyi Department to now, it’s been almost twenty days. Everyone in Shenyi Department has been idle so far, to the point of being accused of collecting salary silver for doing nothing, disappointing the great expectations of the Divine Venerable and failing to justify the funds allocated to us by The Court.

The deputy Venerable said that you are clear about rewards and punishments, but why are you ignoring the numerous spirited and ambitious talents from my Shenyi Department? It’s like we’re all exhausting ourselves with nowhere to channel our energy."

Hearing this, the faces of Zhang Yue, Peng Fulai, and many members of the Shenyi Department behind turned red, as they looked at Li Xuan with admiration.

Ever since they came to the north, although they’ve been treated better than before, who hasn’t been discriminated against? Who hasn’t been looked down upon?

The deputy Venerable’s expression was rather embarrassing. He had said before, ’I don’t expect you to live up to the Divine Venerable’s expectations, but at the very least, you must justify the money assigned to you by The Court. If not, you may as well disband your Shenyi Department’.

But now Li Xuan was publicly confronting him with words, making it hard for him to save face.

"I will handle the matter you’ve mentioned." Deputy Venerable’s face had turned even greener. He swept a glance at the Zhonglangjiangs present: "You all are very good. It seems that the Divine Venerable had a good reason to take people from the South. A bunch of drunkards, can the Divine Venerable depend on you?"

The expressions of the Zhonglangjiangs present varied upon hearing his words. Some showed a sense of shame, and their gaze towards Li Xuan became colder and less friendly; Some were indifferent, calm-faced.

"And you two, Zhu Chiling, Mu Qiangwei!"

Deputy Venerable looked in their direction, his eyes freezing cold as if it could freeze the world: "You two are even more incredible. You didn’t even get a feather from this Demon Kylin but ended up destroying the Demon Market instead. You even had the audacity to say, ’What kind of bird is Demon King Huang?’"

Mu Qiangwei felt extremely wronged, she thought they didn’t destroy the Demon Market, it was Li Xuan who provoked them and then Demon King Huang destroyed it in his rage all by himself, using the Nirvana Divine Flame to burn everything in the Demon Market. And yet they were being blamed for it?

But under the intimidating gaze of the deputy Venerable, Mu Qiangwei could only swallow all her words of explanation.

However, Zhu Chiling flushed, murmuring resentfully: "Deputy Venerable, how could this be blamed on Qiangwei and me? That Demon Market was clearly burnt by her own hands, and that Demon King Huang is indeed a bird."

"Zhu Chiling!"

The deputy Venerable’s voice suddenly raised, a grand mind-pressure covered the entire place, his face even turned from green to purple: "I dare you to spout nonsense again!"
