Chapter 254 Establishing Rules

Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, the three people who were still eating and drinking in the room were startled and immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran out.

When they saw Zhou Chen in the yard, they were startled and immediately knelt down in front of him, asking, "Sir, why are you here?"
At this time, several young girls and villagers in the house also came out. Seeing the Demon-Suppressing Guards kneeling on the ground, they were so scared that they quickly knelt down.

You don’t have to kneel down, but after hearing Zhou Chen’s words, they didn’t dare to stand up. Zhou Chen was helpless about this.

Zhou Chen looked at the leader of the Demon Suppression Guards and said, "Yu Xiu, tell us."

Yu Xiu's mind was spinning rapidly, and then he said with a smile, "Sir, we have prepared the blood food as a tribute to you. We had been planning to send it to you today." He then looked at the people behind him and said, "Hurry up and go."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, and saw the villagers walk into the side room, and soon brought out several boys and girls.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen took a deep breath, then became furious. It was normal for the Demon Suppression Guards to ask for some benefits from the people when investigating a case. Zhou Chen had done a lot of such things before.

However, Zhou Chen really couldn't tolerate people like them. They actually took advantage of the opportunity to investigate a case to do such a thing. How was this different from the devil? They even had the nerve to say that they had prepared blood food for him.

Zhou Chen's icy energy burst out from his body. In just a brief moment, the three Demon-Suppressing Guards were killed on the spot by his icy energy without him having to do anything.

Several civilians were frightened upon seeing this and knelt down again, this time they knelt even lower.

Zhou Chen controlled his true Qi very well just now, and the icy true Qi did not affect several people. "Everyone, please stand up. There is no need to do this."

Looking at the few people crawling on the ground without any reaction, Zhou Chen said angrily, "I told you to get up, how dare you disobey me?"
When these words were spoken, several people stood up trembling with fear. One of them said, "Don't be angry, sir. If it is not enough, we will find another way to get you some blood food."

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "You misunderstood. I don't need any blood food."

Hearing Zhou Chen say this, they became even more nervous, "Don't worry, sir, we won't let you wait too long. We will definitely get everything for you in an hour."

Zhou Chen walked up to him and lifted up his bent waist. “I said that I don’t need your so-called blood food. You are all citizens of Da Xia. If I want to use your flesh and blood to improve my own cultivation, then what is the difference between me and those monsters?”
"Okay, don't be afraid. If anyone dares to ask you for blood food in the future, just come and tell me. I'm Zhou Chen, the master of the Suzaku Hall of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

It was not until Zhou Chen left that they raised their heads tremblingly.

Late in the evening, Zhou Chen was sitting in the courtyard, and all the Demon Suppression Guards of Suzaku Hall were standing in the courtyard. Zhou Chen announced a rule, which made the Demon Suppression Guards present feel dissatisfied, but due to Zhou Chen's strength they did not complain.

The content is that in the process of performing their tasks, they are absolutely not allowed to use the mission as an excuse to ask for so-called blood food from the people. If anyone dares to violate the rules, they will be killed immediately.

"I know that most of you have only entered the Demon Suppression Division in the past two years. Your strength was low when you first came in. In order to improve your strength as quickly as possible, you have all done this kind of thing to a greater or lesser extent, except for a few old people who have never done it. However, from today on, no one is allowed to do it again, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

The people below looked at each other. Some were extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's actions, while others nodded silently. They had long sneered at this, but due to their low status they could not change the status quo.

After the main force left, several Demon-Suppressing Guards stayed behind and asked, "Why don't you leave yet?"
"Your Excellency, we have long been dissatisfied with their actions, but we are of low status and cannot change the status quo. Now that you have come forward, it is a blessing for the people." "Stop flattering me, just say what you want to say."

"My lord, although it is good for you to do so, I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied with their subordinates and something unexpected will happen. As far as we know, in the entire Demon Suppression Division, except for the brothers of the Qinglong Hall, the brothers of the other halls have basically done this kind of thing before. This is also the fundamental reason why the overall strength of the brothers of the Qinglong Hall is not as good as those of the brothers of the other halls."

"Okay, I get it. I can't control the other halls, but in my Suzaku Hall, they have to obey the rules. I'm not afraid of their rebellion, and it doesn't matter even if I kill them all."

When they heard Zhou Chen's words, they were shocked and said, "I'll take my leave."

Two days later, Zhou Chen sat in the house and assigned tasks to his subordinates. After the last incident, his men had restrained themselves a lot, and he had not heard of anyone doing anything out of line again.

At the same time, Zhou Chen also told Qinglong about this matter. As expected, Qinglong had heard about this kind of thing a long time ago. Fortunately, no one dared to do this at the beginning, but after Zhuque died and Baihu took over Zhuque Hall, people began to do so one after another.

In the past few days, Zhou Chen also found a few trusted subordinates and secretly went to the area under Baihu's jurisdiction. According to the intelligence obtained, Baihu's subordinates would basically use the mission's oily head to do some shameful things.

Not only that, every time his men went out and came back, they would bring some blood food for the white tiger.

"Hmph, you're even worse than the demons." That night, Zhou Chen walked out of the Demon Suppression Bureau alone in his nightgown. His destination was a house in the city.

This house is located under the jurisdiction of Baihu, and the owner of the house is naturally Baihu. According to the information he received, boys and girls are being sent in here one after another every day.

Zhou Chen has been observing quietly for two days. Baihu has not come back yet, and Zhou Chen has no intention of taking direct action to deal with him. He is waiting. He is not sure whether Baihu is really as the intelligence says.

After all, those Demon-Suppressing Guards were once Baihu's subordinates, and Zhou Chen would not truly trust them, so he wanted to catch them red-handed.

As for whether it was a trap set by Baihu for him, there was no need to worry. Zhou Chen still had some confidence in his own strength.

Zhou Chen waited for three hours. After three hours, Zhou Chen saw Baihu sitting in the carriage returning to the mansion.

"Here it comes," and then the mental exploration began, and the entire house appeared in Zhou Chen's mind.

After Baihu came back, he walked straight into the room. His steps seemed very anxious. His room was very large. As soon as he entered, servants came in one after another with boys and girls.

"Well, what's going on? Baihu hasn't been out of the Demon Suppression Bureau recently, so why does he look injured?"
Just as he was wondering, four boys and girls were already standing in Baihu's room.

Seeing that he was about to take action, Zhou Chen rushed towards him directly. Before he arrived, a giant hand had already appeared above his roof. The huge palm was as big as his roof.

Baihu also sensed a sense of pressure, so he stopped what he was doing and went straight out of the yard. When he saw the huge hand in the air extending a sword finger, Baihu was shocked and said, "What is that? It's the Great Sumeru Finger." The finger was very fast, and in just a few breaths it had reached above his head. Baihu had nowhere to hide and could only take it head-on.
