Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 478: Self-introduction 1, I am Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division

The young man had a calm face and a refined and noble temperament, but the aura emanating from his body was extremely manic, like a hellish Shura, extremely terrifying.

The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, or like a raging wave sweeping in.

The Black Mountain couple seemed to feel the pressure of their blood. The dragon soul and fire phoenix blood made them unable to resist. It became more and more difficult for them to breathe, and they felt vaguely suffocated.

Under this extreme fear, they could hardly hold on, their knees broke suddenly, and their bodies fell limply to the ground, looking miserable.

"!"

Empress Haiyun was terrified, her thoughts racing as she analyzed the situation quickly.

This young man started a killing spree in the Water Palace, but no Water Clan soldier came to stop him. This can only mean one thing -

Either all the soldiers outside were killed, or the young man isolated the movement of the Water Palace.

But no matter which one it is, it is enough to prove the boy's terrifying strength.

“Your Excellency… who are you?” Empress Haiyun’s eyes were red with anger. She raised her head with great effort and gritted her teeth and said, “We have no grudges against each other… Your Excellency… why do you… want to humiliate my water race!”

Every time she spoke, Empress Haiyun seemed to be under the pressure of a mountain. Although she was currently in the Creation Realm, she actually had the strength of the early stage of the Inaction Realm, but she had not yet broken through.

If she was like this, it was hard to imagine how miserable the other water tribe soldiers must be.

Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the token hanging on his waist flew into the air, emitting a golden glow:

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Please don't mind. I am Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division. Nice to meet the Stoneman King and Queen Haiyun."

"!"

The Montenegrin couple's eyes suddenly widened, their struggling bodies gradually stiffened, and they looked at the boy in astonishment.

Lu Zhan, the demon-suppressing officer——

Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau!

It is called the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, but in reality it is no different from the Orthodox Commander!

Because the South China Sea rift needs to rely on the royal family, the two clans are particularly respectful to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Although they don't interact with each other at ordinary times, they actually address each other as "king and subject" and naturally understand the system of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

This famous deputy commander was actually a favorite of the Grand Commander.

Or in other words... she is the lover of the Grand Master!

It is said that this person is brutal and merciless in dealing with demons, just like a demon god descended to the world, ruthless and cruel. That is why he jumped from an ordinary demon-suppressing master to the deputy commander of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau at lightning speed.

I didn’t expect that this master would come to the South China Sea in person!

Heishan took a deep breath, knowing that things were going to be troublesome. Lu Zhan was so arrogant, he must have brought a lot of soldiers secretly. They must not confront him head-on, otherwise once a war broke out, their two clans would face encirclement and suppression by the royal family.

Thinking of this, Heishan tried to calm down and asked with a grim expression:

"So it's Lord Lu Zhan. My two tribes have always been diligent and law-abiding. Even if we have no merit in guarding the South China Sea, we have worked hard. May I ask what Lord Lu Zhan means? Why are you humiliating our two tribes like this?!"

Lu Zhan lifted his robe and sat on the throne, tapping his folding fan lightly on his palm. He looked lazy and casual, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Tsk... What are you talking about, Black Mountain Patriarch? I am just an ordinary Tongsi, how dare I humiliate the two seniors? It is the actions of the two seniors that make me sad!"

"..."

Empress Haiyun's breathing stagnated: "What does Lord Lu Zhan mean?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhan's voice suddenly turned cold. "I heard that you have joined forces with those stray dogs from Peacock Mountain to attack Southern Xinjiang. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to explain what this means?"

"!"

Empress Haiyun had just experienced the invasion of the holy land by the Gu God and the reprimand by the Holy Wu Zu. She was suddenly tricked by Lu Zhan and was unable to react.

Heishan's face turned pale, and he naturally refused to admit it: "Master Lu Zhan, this... this is a rumor!"

Lu Zhan was just bluffing, but after seeing Empress Haiyun's reaction, he knew what was going on and smiled:

"Don't be nervous, Black Mountain Patriarch. I just want to ask you something. Where do you get the confidence from?"

Although Southern Xinjiang is far away from the Great Zhou and is regarded as a barbaric land by the immortal cultivation community, it is ultimately a serious force, and it is not easy to deal with the Southern Xinjiang royal family alone.

The South China Sea aquatics and the Stonemen are powerful, but they are just demons after all. How dare they have such thoughts?

Just occupy southern Xinjiang if you say so?

Do you really think there is no one left in the world of cultivating immortals?

Let alone the various major immortal sects and the royal family, even the local gangs in Southern Xinjiang would never allow the demons to cause trouble. Otherwise, why didn't Peacock Mountain ascend the throne to become the king after occupying Southern Xinjiang for so many years?

In the final analysis, everyone just sticks to their bottom line and "respects each other".

Normally, they might give in and give Peacock Mountain enough face, but if a war really breaks out, the demon clan will never have the upper hand.

The Stonemen and Watermen would not fail to think of this, but they took such a risk and still made this plan, which can only mean one thing -

The two tribes have other backup plans.

Otherwise, even if the Stonemen tribe lifted the restrictions on the South China Sea, occupying the southern border would be a dead end.

Lu Zhan had a lot of thoughts on the way here. Apart from Gu Shen, he couldn't think of any other backup plan for the time being. But after all, it was just a guess, and there was no evidence. So he deliberately came to show his power, to alarm the enemy and make them lose their composure.

"Your Excellency, this...this is all just a rumor!"

There was a flash of violence in Heishan's eyes, but his words were extremely humble.

Only those who can bend and stretch can be true men.

"..."

Chu Wantang held Que Que in her arms, with her face covered by a veil. She stood behind Lu Zhan, acting like a maid, and sneered:

"Really? There is an old saying in the Central Plains, there is no wind without waves. If the Stonemen and Watermen have no such intentions, why would there be such rumors?"

Chu Wantang is now the legitimate young chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau. If her identity is exposed, Lu Zhan, the deputy chief, will have no deterrent power.

The main purpose of this trip was to allow Lu Zhan to establish his authority, and Chu Wantang was willing to serve as a foil.

"?!"

Heishan lowered his head with his eyes wide open, thinking that Lu Tongsi was so overbearing that even the questions about the maids were so tricky.

What does it mean that there is no wind without waves?

Although Montenegro did have such a plan, how did the news get out? How did he know?

Madam Haiyun was not as calm as Heishan. Her face turned pale as she said:

"Lord Lu Zhan, there is something fishy about this matter. Someone must be deliberately trying to sow discord between Nanhai and the Demon Suppression Bureau. Once there is a rift between us, the other party will be able to take advantage of the situation..."

Lu Zhan said slowly:

"Oh? If it's a misunderstanding, then why is Black Sparrow here? Why did the South Sea Stonemen appear outside the Thousand Absolute Valley? You must give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for me to deal with it... You know that I have always acted fairly and impartially, and never showed favoritism."

"..."

Empress Haiyun said hurriedly:

"Your Excellency, Black Sparrow does want to cooperate with our two tribes, and we do want Peacock Mountain's method of reshaping the body, but we absolutely have no intention of occupying Southern Xinjiang."

"As for why the Stonemen followed the Peacock Spirit to the southern border, it was because our princess was trapped in the Thousand Deadly Valley! In order to rescue the princess, our tribe cooperated with Peacock Mountain."

"..."

Empress Haiyun felt a chill in her heart. She had originally only wanted to lift the Stoneman clan's shackles and lead the clan out of the South China Sea, leaving this troubled place, and had never thought of occupying southern Xinjiang.

This idea was proposed by Montenegro.

Heishan said that if they rashly left the South China Sea, the Demon Suppression Bureau would definitely control them. How could the tribe develop under the checks and balances of the imperial court?

It would be better to occupy southern Xinjiang and live happily.

Queen Haiyun knew that she was not strong enough, but Heishan said that the Stonemen had made a secret magic weapon after 500 years of research and would be able to occupy southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.

Who could have thought that before the plan was implemented, people from the Demon Suppression Bureau came knocking on the door!

Empress Haiyun didn't want the matter to get out of hand, so she made this half-true and half-false "confession". Otherwise, if she disturbed the old ancestor's healing, she would never be able to atone for her sins even if she died a thousand times.

Heishan's thoughts were as fast as lightning, and he said:

"Every word Haiyun said is true! We, the Stonemen, have guarded the seal of the South China Sea for tens of millions of years and have been tortured beyond words. We...we do want to leave the South China Sea, but we do not want to start a war! The Stonemen are loyal and brave, please forgive us!"

"..."

After listening to the two people's speeches, Lu Zhan's eyes widened, and he looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He stood up and helped the two people up, saying with a smile:

"I see. It seems that I have wronged you... It's all my fault that I was young and soft-hearted. I misunderstood and believed. I hope you two seniors don't hold it against me."

Lu Zhan's smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

In fact, Lu Zhan had expected Heishan and Haiyun's reactions, and he had no intention of really asking them anything. If he could get the truth out this way, then what was the need for "punishment"?

His purpose this time was just to give the two tribes a warning and make them lose their composure.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Zhan naturally stopped there. As long as the other party lost his composure, it would be much easier to track him down.

Moreover, we have to prioritize things, and we still need to find the Grand Master first. This matter still requires the efforts of the two clans.

"..."

Heishan lowered his head, his face livid.

Lu Zhan is really going too far!

If you really have any doubts, you can just ask them normally instead of humiliating them like this.

After all, they were the kings of two tribes, but Lu Zhan didn't care about their face at all.

Even when the Princess of the Great Zhou came in person, she only said a few polite words!

However, Lu Zhan was unwilling to even say a few polite words, how despicable!

The most frustrating thing was that even though they knew Lu Zhan was deliberately bullying them, they could only smile and keep saying yes:

"Lord Lu Zhan is very busy, so naturally he can't do everything well. We all understand..."

“Hahaha…” Lu Zhan patted Heishan’s shoulder and praised: “You two seniors are really wise! Ever since the Great Master disappeared in the South China Sea, the burden of the Demon Suppression Bureau has fallen on my shoulders. I’m really too busy to handle it… Eh? The Great Master disappeared in the South China Sea, right?”

"..."

The Black Mountain couple felt a sense of crisis and said hurriedly, "Yes... We are also trying our best to find Her Royal Highness the Princess, but there is still no trace of her..."

Empress Haiyun looked anxious, fearing that Lu Zhan would attack again.

In the matter of finding the Grand Master, the South Sea Aquatic Clan had put all their efforts into it. Although they wanted to go to land, they didn't want the South Sea Monster Clan to crawl out of the ground. Their position on this matter was exactly the same as that of the royal family, so naturally they would not cause trouble.

...

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. I naturally believe in you. But after the disappearance of the Grand Master, is there anything unusual around the seal?"

Lu Zhan believed that Hai Yun was not lying, and the water tribe’s position on the matter of the South China Sea monster tribe should not change.

Even if he really wanted to change his stance, Wu Zu would not agree.

Seeing that Lu Zhan was no longer aggressive, Empress Haiyun breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"The seal is located in the crack of the South China Sea, that is, the South China Sea tiankeng. The area around the tiankeng is mysterious and dangerous. After the princess disappeared inexplicably, the mysterious power near the tiankeng became even more violent."

"This morning, our aquatic creatures went to patrol the tiankeng and encountered a huge coral near the tiankeng. Hundreds of aquatic creatures were swallowed up by the coral in an instant."

"..."

Queen Haiyun did not want to tell Lu Zhan about the invasion of the Gu God.

Now Lu Zhan is very suspicious of them. If they are related to the Gu God again, I am afraid he will not be able to explain it clearly.

After all, the dangers around the tiankeng are real.
