I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

Master Peng took back the pagoda that was floating outside as a deterrent. He didn't believe Zhou Suren's lies. He knew a thing or two about the human dynasty. If there was such a powerful demon-hunting magic weapon, why did it only raise the protective formation after discovering the corpse of the demon cultivator but then stopped moving, and had to wait for a while before looking for it? It’s not that we couldn’t find clues, but we got some outside help to reverse the situation. After all, in the past two days, a large number of princes, nobles, and envoys from other countries had poured into the imperial city, as if some state banquet was about to be held.

"You have caused me to lose a lot of spiritual stones! Don't let me find out who it is!" As soon as he stepped on his foot, a hole opened in the floor, and his domineering power penetrated several floors downstairs.

However, spending spiritual stones can prevent one's identity from being exposed and break up the wealth to prevent disasters, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

After a while, the formation covering Zuixian Tower disappeared, and together with the city protection formation, Master Peng's livid face softened a little, waiting for the return of those stupid demon men.

As for why he visited Zhouyang City, the reason is actually very simple.

Some time ago, the battle between Ye Qingwu and the elders of the Blood Flame Sect outside Lingyou Mountain had spread throughout the Eastern Continent. Although most people did not know the identity of the combatants, Master Peng was among the very few who knew. of.

Because one of his subordinates happened to go to Lingyue Mountain for business. After the battle started, out of curiosity, the subordinate watched the battle from a distance and discovered Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu is the daughter of Qingluan Ye's family, the woman that Master Peng likes! Even though they were far away and their faces were covered, it was impossible for their subordinates to admit their mistake with the usable Purple Lotus Lantern, so they reported the matter immediately.

When Master Peng received the news, he immediately came out of the secret realm he was in charge of. However, even if he drove at full speed, it would already be a day before he arrived at Lingyou Mountain. After all, the Eastern Continent is really vast.

The subordinate's cultivation level was too low and he did not dare to participate in the fight. He watched the whole process and told the detailed situation. When he learned that the woman he had appointed was injured, Master Peng severely injured the subordinate with one slap.

In his eyes, low cultivation level is not an excuse. Watching his woman get hurt and not helping is a sin.

However, there were punishments and rewards. Afterwards, Master Peng gave some healing pills and two high-quality fifth-grade demon pills to his subordinates, and then began to collect information on the human race who had conflicts with Ye Qingwu.

Based on the blood and corpses left at the scene, it took a lot of time for Master Peng to figure out who hurt his woman.

A demon sect that I have never heard of and cannot even be called first-class.

After spending a lot of money and connections, Master Peng found the headquarters of the Blood Flame Sect, but there were not many people there at all. There were only a few Nascent Soul stewards in charge of the sect's formations, and these Nascent Soul stewards didn't know anything about it. , it was only said that the sect master and the others were outside, and even the disciples were all called to inquire about information about a young clan named 'Ye Yong'.

Master Peng was not interested in an insignificant and inconsequential human race like Ye Yong at all. He directly crushed those Nascent Souls and lurked in the Blood Flame Sect's base camp with his men for several days. He wanted to wait and see, but early yesterday morning, he went out to inquire about the news. His subordinates received news that a human named Ye Wen had captured the fifth elder of the Blood Flame Sect and brought him to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Master Peng hurriedly came to the Zhou Dynasty with his men, and at night, he sent Liu Xu, who was extremely stealthy, into the secret prison to assassinate him. After that, it was now.

"Master Peng, I'm really sorry. We don't know what happened. We were fine on the street, but those humans suddenly formed a formation and captured us." The first thing the Tiger Demons did when they came back was to kneel on their knees. Asking for forgiveness and explanation: "We are very honest and did not attack those humans. It is impossible to expose them. We did not reveal any information about you! They didn't know what method they used to discover you and us!"

Master Peng waved his hand, and with Liu Xu as a warning, he believed that these men would not dare to mess around: "That's enough, I would like to ask, when you were arrested, did you hear any names accidentally revealed by those soldiers? Like Thanks to someone, it’s easy to find a demon or something like that.”

"Hiss." The men all fell into memories. The scene when they were arrested was quite confusing. To be honest, they couldn't remember clearly.

"Forget it." Master Peng didn't have much hope for this group of stupid men. Anyway, he would send someone in again later to inquire about the information.

Putting on a mask, using a blinding magic weapon, and followed by several demons, Master Peng left the imperial city in a very low-key manner.

————

Shen Ao followed the whole process until he was sure that all the demons had left and there was no response from the demon-seeking disk in his hand, then he returned to the palace to follow Zhou Suren.

"Your Majesty, according to the [Peace Agreement] signed by the saints of the human race and the saints of the demon race ten thousand years ago, the demon clan of the aristocratic family is not allowed to act recklessly in the human city. As expected, I still think that we should capture them all and let the aristocratic family behind them If we come forward to take them back, as long as we don't hurt them, the Demon Clan will definitely not be able to say anything. If we just let them go, the Demon Clan will feel that our human race is too easy to bully, and it will become more and more excessive."

"That can indeed establish majesty for the human race for a period of time, but it will also offend a descendant of a demon family. Everyone has seen the Dongxu magic weapon. A young demon clan who can use the Dongxu magic weapon must have a high status in the family. , and also took out a thousand spiritual plants worth about 600 high-grade spiritual stones, which shows that the family he belongs to has a very solid foundation and there is no need to offend the other party for the sake of so-called majesty. "

The ministers were divided into three factions, the radical faction, the neutral faction, and the peaceful faction.

To put it bluntly, the neutrals are just sitting on the fence. If they don’t take sides now, they will side with whoever has the right later. The ones who are arguing are the radicals and the peace factions.

"How do you know if the other party will do something behind the scenes? What if they attack commercial vehicles passing by around the imperial city from time to time and cause losses?"

"Since the other party is unwilling to reveal his identity and would rather spend money to suppress the matter, it means he is afraid of being discovered by the family and dare not come back easily to cause trouble."

I have to say that the points of contention between the two factions are quite reasonable.

Zhou Suren, who was sitting on the dragon chair, patted the armrest, and the hall fell silent instantly.

"The matter has reached this point, and there is no point in arguing anymore." Why didn't Zhou Suren struggle with these issues in the first place? But time was running out, and he could only make what he thought was the safest choice.

The demons are all gone, and now they are still making noises, which undoubtedly annoys him.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. He is the one who is at fault for killing the prisoners of the imperial dynasty." Although Ye Wen is not an official, as a strong man on the sixth level of the gods and a friend of the emperor, he has a certain say. He smiled He said: "Your Majesty also said that the other party is very arrogant, but such an arrogant monster can only huddle in Zuixian Tower to negotiate with your Majesty in the city defense formation... It shows that he is unwilling to take matters into his own hands." It was a big deal. And he just happened to make a mistake, that is, he should not use his magic weapon to intimidate us.

As long as he spreads the word, saying that there is a young man who masters the Dongxu level pagoda, he is suspected to be a demon clan who once stayed in Zhouyang City... Maybe it won't spread to the ears of the demon clan family he belongs to, but as long as he and those When his subordinates came back again and heard this rumor, they would definitely not dare to act rashly, because there was no big incident this time, so public opinion did not reach the point of condemning him. At most, everyone was just curious about his identity. But if something bad happens and the news spreads wider and wider, there is no guarantee that it will reach the ears of the aristocratic family. You say, if it were you, would you still dare to make such small moves? "
