Chapter 253 Great Sumeru Finger
Looking at the trembling crowd, Zhou Chen said in a cold voice: "If you have any opinions about me, feel free to complain to Lord Qinglong, or you can go to Lord Commander, but as members of my Suzaku Hall, what are you doing going to Baihu Hall?"
"Lord Baihu usually treats us like brothers, but here you fine us half a year's salary for a trivial matter. We really can't stay here any longer."
Zhou Chen got furious when he heard that, and the temperature around him dropped a few degrees again, "How dare you! This is the Demon Suppression Division, not your home. You can't come and go as you please. Anyone who dares to leave here without my order today will be killed without mercy."
"You are just a young boy. How dare you wantonly harm your colleagues? Let me tell you that wantonly harming your colleagues is a serious crime."
Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold, and he saw that the man who had just spoken was directly frozen into an ice sculpture. The surrounding Demon Suppression Guards were shocked when they saw this. They were all warriors, and they could feel that the guy had no breath of life.
Seeing this, he was so scared that he dared not talk about going to White Tiger Hall anymore. Then Zhou Chen disappeared from the spot again and looked at the Demon-Suppressing Guards who had not left before and said, "There is nothing to do today. You can go back."
Upon hearing this, those guys immediately bowed and saluted, then left the yard in fear, "It's a good thing we didn't join them in making trouble just now."
"Yes, I didn't expect that our new hall master would be so cruel and even wanted to kill on the spot."
After those people left, Zhou Chen said to the rest of them, "Your task today is to clean this place up. I don't want to see any dust in the room before dark. Also, clean up the weeds in the yard." After that, Zhou Chen left.
In the past few years, although the Demon King Zhentian has invaded the human territory on a large scale, the Demon Suppression Division was almost busy to death at the beginning, and they simply could not kill those invading demons. But now they have been slowly suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division. Although they have not been driven out of the human territory, half of the territory has been saved.
Although demon cholera still occurs from time to time nowadays, the frequency is much lower. The four major halls of the Demon Suppression Bureau manage four areas respectively. Now the Demon Suppression Bureau has also changed its management model.
It is no longer a voluntary task as before, but the tasks are distributed by the four hall masters. If a demon appears in their territory, the hall master will immediately send people to suppress it.
Now that Baihu has not handed over all the affairs of Suzaku Hall to him, he does not have to worry about those trivial matters for the time being. After making the arrangements, he went straight home.
After the sun set, Zhou Chen returned to Suzaku Hall. The place had been cleaned up at this time, and most of the Demon-Suppressing Guards were still here. Seeing Zhou Chen coming back, those Demon-Suppressing Guards who were sitting on the ground immediately stood up.
Their attitude was much more respectful than before. Zhou Chen glanced at them and then started checking.
Ten minutes later Zhou Chen said calmly, "Well, it's well done and quite clean. Okay, everyone go down now." Hearing this, everyone saluted and left the yard.
After everyone left, a Demon Suppression Guard came over and said, "Sir."
"Where did the others go?"
"They left here shortly after you left, sir, and went to Baihu Hall."
Zhou Chen nodded and signaled him to leave. This guy was a relatively obedient Demon Suppression Guard he had secretly selected this morning.
It doesn’t matter whether he is completely trustworthy or not, at least he is a little better than others.
Zhou Chen returned home again at night, and Baihu said, "You useless thing, didn't you say that things have been settled? Why didn't Zhuque react at all today?"
"Sir, I had indeed put medicine into his family's well that night. As for why nothing happened, I don't know. Could it be that they don't drink the water from that well on normal days?"
"Oh, is that so? I have wronged you. Okay, just step back."
"Yes, I will take my leave." However, when he turned around, Baihu appeared behind him and slapped him on the back, killing him instantly. When the time came on the second day, all the demon-suppressing guards belonging to the Suzaku Hall came to Zhou Chen. Seeing the demon-suppressing guards who had already arrived, Zhou Chen nodded and asked them to leave.
Then Zhou Chen came to Baihu. His purpose was simple, which was to take back all the files of Suzaku Hall.
Baihu didn't say much when he saw this. He smiled and handed all the things to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was a little surprised to see that he didn't make things difficult for him.
After returning to Suzaku Hall, Zhou Chen opened the file and couldn't help but curse. There had been too many cases in the area under the jurisdiction of Suzaku Hall in recent times, and Baihu, that guy, hadn't dealt with any of them.
Zhou Chen immediately ordered to gather people and arrange personnel to deal with those unresolved cases. There were too many things to do. Even if all his demon-suppressing guards were sent out, there were still many left. Zhou Chen was helpless about this.
"I was wondering why you were so polite, it turns out you were waiting for me here."
Two days later, Zhou Chen was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. The tasks he had assigned to them in the past two days had been completed one after another, and he had also assigned new tasks to them. These tasks were not done in vain.
The Demon Suppression Division would give them corresponding rewards for each task they completed, and would not let them work in vain. However, in the past two days, Zhou Chen discovered that a few guys had apparently accepted very simple tasks but had not completed them yet, which surprised him a little.
So he directly arranged for two of his men to check out the situation, while he opened a book and started reading.
This book was taken out by him from the library. It was a local-grade martial arts book called the Great Sumeru Finger, a set of finger techniques with extraordinary power. However, due to its too high grade, Zhou Chen had been unable to understand it after reading it for two days, and had not yet entered it into the system.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhou Chen understood a little bit, and the information of the Great Sumeru Finger appeared on his system panel. Zhou Chen did not hesitate to use the strengthening points to raise it to the level of small success.
After receiving the memory, Zhou Chen smiled. Then he waved his hand, and a big hand immediately appeared above the yard. The big hand stretched out a sword finger and pointed it at the ground. In an instant, an invisible pressure shot out from the finger. The moment it landed, Zhou Chen retracted his power, thus saving his yard. Otherwise, his yard would have been destroyed by this finger.
At this time, a demon-suppressing guard came in and whispered something in Zhou Chen's ear. Zhou Chen became furious after hearing it, "How dare they be so presumptuous".
"Sir, calming down is not a rare thing in the Demon Suppression Division. Many brothers in the Demon Suppression Division have done this kind of thing to a greater or lesser extent, but few are as excessive as them."
"Okay, I get it, you can go down."
Afterwards, Zhou Chen's figure disappeared from the spot. He stepped into the void and left Wu'an County. Soon, he arrived at Ping'an Village, the village closest to Wu'an County.
After entering, Zhou Chen directly opened his spiritual exploration. In an instant, all the advancements of the entire village appeared in his mind. In an instant, Zhou Chen found the four Demon-Suppressing Guards.
At this time, the three of them were eating and drinking in a villager's house, and they were served by several simply dressed farm girls.
At this moment, Zhou Chen was standing in the yard, "Have you three eaten enough?"
