Chapter 124: Chapter 121: The Demon Den in the Prefectural Office! (Please Subscribe)

Qingzhou, Yongan County, Qinyang Prefecture.

Within the prefectural office, it was a scene of flowers in full bloom and rich brocades.

Hundreds of beautiful women gathered in the back garden of the prefectural office, their singing and dancing burst forth, a cacophony of cheerful voices that never ceased.

The thick scent of rouge mingled with the fragrance of wine, wafting through the air.

Some burly men, unconcerned with the stares of others, embraced a woman and began to engage in debauchery in full view of the public.

Indecent noises arose from all corners of the garden.

What’s more, some drunken men began to exhibit the characteristics of the Demon race!

Within this prefectural office, Great Demons in human form were engaging in lewd acts!

Yet this scene did not seem to bother the onlookers; on the contrary, they erupted into laughter.

"Envoy Mu, you can’t hold back anymore!"

"Could it be that even the mighty Ape King, of the Demon King Realm, cannot withstand the allure of a human woman’s pair of jade legs?"

"..."

Mocks and taunts surrounded the area.

The ape demon who revealed its true nature didn’t mind at all, and with a grim laugh, it transformed into its true form.

A demonic form over three meters tall, with its lower body parts even more enormous.

The originally infatuated woman, upon seeing this form, screamed in terror, trying to escape.

But her body was firmly clamped by the ape demon, and with a single thrust, the woman let out an extremely pitiful wail.

After just a few moments, the woman’s screams gradually fell silent.

The ape demon frowned, releasing the woman’s corpse, and shook its head incessantly, muttering, "Boring, so boring!"

Then it stood up, eyes scanning the surroundings as it searched for its next target.

Witnessing this scene, one after another, the Great Demons burst into raucous laughter, shedding their human forms and revealing their demonic bodies.

For a moment, the garden behind the prefectural office turned into a haven of demonic energy, filled with screams.

And from somewhere started the raspy sounds of chewing, followed shortly by the heavy stench of blood permeating the garden.

The entire garden now resembled a Demon Den, terrifyingly horrific!

At the edge of the garden stood a gaunt middle-aged man with a goatee.

Upon witnessing this scene, he left the area without drawing attention to himself, walking down a secluded path to the nearby study.

At the moment, one of the rooms was well-lit, and the sound of scriptures being recited could be heard from inside.

However, these scriptures seemed somewhat different from the usual ones.

The goatee furrowed slightly, pondering whether he had heard these scriptures somewhere before.

Meanwhile, he approached the study with respect, bowing and waiting.

After the recitation in the study stopped, a voice emerged from within, "Come in."

The goatee respectfully opened the door and stepped in.

Upon entering, he saw candles spread across the floor in concentric circles.

At the very center, there was an open space where two figures sat cross-legged facing each other, expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger.

One of them was none other than the Prefect of Qinyang, Xu Chunsheng.

The other, clad in a white robe, with a pale and cool complexion and a unique aura, was none other than the third son of Gao Wenyu, Governor of Qingzhou, Gao Wuyun!

"What’s the matter?"

As the goatee came in, Xu Chunsheng turned his head, asking him coldly.

This demeanor... was starkly different from that of the usual Prefect Xu!

A sense of oppression instantly welled up in the goatee’s heart. He raised his head, opened his mouth to relay the events in the garden.

But as his eyes met Xu Chunsheng’s cold gaze, he was tongue-tied, unable to speak.

Only when Xu Chunsheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed with impatience,

did the goatee have a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, "Reporting to my lord, the beauties in the garden are running short. Fuyun Pavilion has a new batch of dancers, should I bring them over?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chunsheng immediately waved his hand and said, "Arrange it yourself. Don’t disturb me and Young Master Wusheng unless it’s important."

"Yes."

The goatee slowly withdrew from the study, closing the door behind him, before letting out a sigh and heading out of the prefectural office.

After his figure disappeared,

Inside the study,

Xu Chunsheng’s cold expression vanished, replaced with one of respectful worship and fervor.

"Saint Heir, I hope you can continue to explain the scriptures of our faith to me!"

He looked at Gao Wuyun with anticipation.

But Gao Wuyun slowly shook his head, rejecting Xu Chunsheng’s request.

"That is enough for today; more would not be beneficial."

Although disappointed, Xu Chunsheng could only nod in agreement.

After a brief silence, his consciousness seemed to clear a bit, and he once again raised his head to look at Gao Wusheng across from him and said, "Young Master Wusheng, I have done as you ordered."

"That Qin Zheng seems to be no ordinary figure, I wonder..."

His eyes carried a hint of inquiry.

Gao Wuyun remained composed, replying calmly, "He’s just a country mongrel, no cause for concern."

...

In some gloomy streets.

The goat-bearded man, with a look of helplessness, walked towards Fuyun Pavilion.

Behind him were two constables from the prefectural office.

Along the way, there wasn’t a single human sound; the silence was so profound that it sent a slight chill down one’s spine.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the goat-bearded man couldn’t help but shrug his neck, pulling his clothes a bit tighter.

"Lord Qi, you say..."

Suddenly, behind the goat-bearded man, one of the constables spoke up.

Then, after hesitating a few times, he tried to start a conversation.

"With so many girls disappearing overnight, could it be noticed by Camp Geng?"

Upon hearing this, the goat-bearded man immediately frowned and said in a cold voice, "What are you talking about!"

In the backyard of the prefectural office, aside from him and those Great Demons swayed by Young Master Wusheng, not another soul from the office was present.

These junior constables, by all means, shouldn’t know anything!

That constable immediately replied, "The smell of blood was too strong, even the brothers outside the office smelled it."

"Plus, with the faint screams we could sometimes hear, we sort of know what’s going on."

As he spoke, his face showed some worry, and he continued, "Everyone around Young Master Wusheng is a Great Demon. If this word gets out, we..."

"Shut up!"

The goat-bearded man suddenly let out a low shout whilst turning around, his expression severe as he looked at the young constable across from him.

His face was young, and his expression green, clearly a newcomer to the constables of the office, lacking the awareness an old sleuth should have.

The goat-bearded man’s gaze swept, without a trace, over the other middle-aged constable who was silent and mute like a deaf-mute.

Immediately afterward, the goat-bearded man’s gaze returned to the junior constable, staring at him coldly and said, "Where are there monsters in the prefectural office?!"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch out, I’ll poke out your eyes and tear out your tongue!"

The goat-bearded man’s sudden harsh rebuke took the junior constable by surprise.

The junior constable’s face showed a hint of grievance; he still wanted to try to explain something, but unexpectedly, he got his head slapped by the middle-aged constable next to him.

"You little one, sneaking some flower wine during the day and now going crazy with the drink, apologize to Lord Qi right now!"

While speaking, he was also making faces and winking.

The junior constable vaguely understood something, and at once only managed to look towards the goat-bearded man, saying, "I got confused drinking wine, please don’t take it to heart, Lord Qi."

The expression of the goat-bearded man eased a bit, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Dock half a month’s salary, teach you a lesson."

After he finished speaking, no longer caring about the junior constable’s distressed expression, he turned and continued towards the direction of Fuyun Pavilion.

It was at this moment that his expression became much graver.

What the junior constable said was true; if they let these monsters ravage as they pleased, as many girls as came would die.

And these singing girls and dancers were well-known figures within Qinyang Prefecture.

In less than a day, the entire Qinyang Prefecture would know that these girls died inside the prefectural office.

For such a strange and peculiar matter, even if the office did its utmost to suppress it, it’s feared that it wouldn’t escape the notice of Camp Geng.

He was very clear that ever since Lord Qin, coming from Lin Yuan City, arrived at Yongan County, he has been almost intolerant towards monsters.

Right as he arrived at Yongan County, he consecutively killed two Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm disguised as the human race.

Then he took all of Camp Geng and eradicated all eleven Demon Mountains within Yongan County.

A few days ago, there were rumors that two more Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm came, and they were also quickly slain by Lord Qin in a display of dominant power.

If Lord Qin found out that within this prefectural office of Qinyang, so many monsters were hidden, and they were directly indulging in human flesh and revelry...

It was unknown what would happen.

On one side, there’s the Direct Disciple of the Commander-in-chief of Qingzhou with the backing of the Great Jin Dynasty.

On the other side is the son of the Governor of Qingzhou, with the backing of the Quanyang Gao Family.

If these two formidable entities were to act, not only would these junior constables, even he, Prefect Xu, would be nothing but trivial shrimps.

When the tidal wave hits, they could only be helplessly dashed dead upon the shore, with no means to fight back.

Therefore, at this moment, the goat-bearded man hoped that the monsters within the office would restrain themselves.

Try to avoid being discovered by Camp Geng, thus possibly averting the conflict that seemed likely to occur.

He sought Prefect Xu for this very reason.

The nature of those Great Demons seemed to no longer be containable, beginning to burst forth unrestrained.

Yet, Prefect Xu seemed not to care about this matter, and Young Master Wusheng even more so.

Thinking to this point, a trace of doubt emerged in the eyes of the goat-bearded man.

Although Prefect Xu was not an entirely upright person, he was not absurd either.

When Lord Qin first began purging the monsters of the entire Yongan County, he was in the office, loudly laughing and praising.

But after the arrival of Young Master Wusheng, it was as if he had become a different person, and now he could even sit by and watch monsters indulge in cannibalism within the office...

And recalling the strange scriptures he had heard outside the study, along with those demons,

Could it be... Prefect Xu has been swayed by Young Master Wusheng?

The thought suddenly crossed the goat-bearded man’s mind.

At this thought, he felt a chill in his heart.

As he was about to turn around and say something to the two constables behind him,

a wave of heat suddenly struck the back of his neck.

Simultaneously, a chilling voice appeared, "You seem to dislike our indulgence in feasting on humans?"
