Bang!

Xue Yuanshan’s lifeless body suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, causing a tremor on the earth, and everyone in Qingshui City who was watching froze instantly. No one had expected his head to suddenly explode.

The Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch looked terrified, "So ruthless!"

Ji Qingyue spoke coldly, "His Divine Soul was tampered with. If he tried to mention anything forbidden, he would be silenced!"

"There’s actually such a method!" Wei Fan looked completely surprised, as he had never heard of such a technique.

Li Yunfei nodded, "Yes, this secret technique is used by the Holy Sect or some powerful factions to prevent core knowledge from being leaked. It is set on the disciple’s Divine Soul willingly. If they try to leak it or undergo a Soul Search, the Divine Soul will collapse, thus protecting the core knowledge.

It’s unexpected that such a thing would be used to prevent the leaking of one’s collusion with demon fiends."

He never thought Xue Yuanshan’s Divine Soul would be set with a secret technique. This kind of method isn’t generally mastered or studied by anyone.

Even in places like the Holy Sect, only some Instructor Elders would learn it, as the secret technique is non-lethal and generally useless for most people to learn.

Of course, even if you thought about it, reminding Wei Fan wouldn’t break it. Bringing up anyone colluding with demon fiends would cause Xue Yuanshan’s Divine Soul to be silenced.

This is a secret technique even a Martial King powerhouse might not be able to break.

"But it’s just a cover-up, really. The only person in Yunzhou who could make Xue Yuanshan willingly have such a secret technique set on him, and has the capability to do so, besides the General, is no one else."

Wei Fan snorted coldly.

He wasn’t truly investigating a case, nor needed tangible evidence or witnesses. Once he knew who was involved, he would just execute them; suppressing with force would be enough.

In this world, no matter how much you say, it’s who has the stronger fist that matters. Schemes and plots are just illusions.

"We are Demon Hunter Patrol Envoys. Xue Yuanshan colluded with demon fiends to harm the people and was silenced by the real mastermind. His death is well deserved!"

Wei Fan’s voice spread throughout the city: "Now Xue Yuanshan is dead, whoever holds the highest position, come see me immediately!"

He handed over the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch to Li Yunfei for control.

With those words, a Deputy General flew over from the City Lord’s Mansion: "Subordinate Yang Wenhui of the Demon Suppression Bureau, reporting to Patrol Envoy, Sir!"

He was only at a Half-Step Divine Realm cultivation.

Besides Xue Yuanshan, Qingshui City had no other Divine Realm Martial Sect members.

Wei Fan took out his waist token and handed it to Yang Wenhui: "This is my Patrol Envoy Token."

His gaze swept over, and the panel reacted not at all to Yang Wenhui.

Yang Wenhui shook his head: "Sir, I have never seen a Patrol Envoy’s token, and cannot verify its authenticity. But you saved Qingshui City and exposed Xue Yuanshan’s true nature, so it doesn’t appear false. Whatever you need, just give the order, and your subordinate will certainly comply."

To him, a Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy was a legendary figure, something even many Divine Realm Commanders hadn’t seen before.

As they seldom appear unless necessary, their presence means you broke the rules.

You could say those who’ve seen them have usually been executed.

Wei Fan put away his token: "From now on, Qingshui City is under your command. Immediately organize troops to leave the city and wipe out the Deer Race!"

The Deer Race elites were mostly brought to Qingshui City by the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch to capture people, whom he crushed all at once. Although Ji Qingyue later delivered a strike from afar, it likely didn’t eliminate all the fiends of the Deer Race. If you’ve started killing, wipe them out completely.

Yang Wenhui bowed: "Subordinate obeys!"

He then turned and flew directly to the Qingshui City barracks, began assembling troops, swiftly opened the city gates, and marched towards the distant mountains.

"You all shall not die a good death!"

The Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch’s eyes were wide with rage. He knew the Deer Race was finished; even if a few escaped, their race would ultimately become slaves under stronger demon races.

"Worry about your own survival first!"

Wei Fan snorted coldly, descending from the sky to the inn.

He first compensated the inn for the damage and then changed to another room.

"Let’s hear it, what method did you use to collude with Xue Yuanshan?"

Wei Fan found a chair and sat down, looking at the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch, who had collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch had his Demon Pill and Divine Soul sealed by Li Yunfei’s Sealing Technique, making him no different from an ordinary person.

"You wish to learn anything from me!"

The Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch snarled at Wei Fan, knowing he wouldn’t survive and couldn’t obediently tell Wei Fan anything.

"Is that so?"

Wei Fan smirked; the next moment, his Will Power descended, enveloping the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch, "Tell me, what did you use to win over Xue Yuanshan!"

In an instant, the fierceness on the face of the Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch vanished, his expression towards Wei Fan turned reverent.

This scene once again left Li Yunfei and Ji Qingyue stunned. Even the Demon Monarch could not resist the influence of Wei Fan’s Will Power and obediently acted according to his will.

"The Golden Body Fruit. He and I were jointly nurturing a Golden Body Fruit using the flesh of martial artists, but I never planned to actually give him the Golden Body Fruit!"

The Dragon-Horned Deer Monarch respectfully revealed what Wei Fan wanted to know, even divulging his own scheme.

From beginning to end, he never intended to give Xue Yuanshan the Golden Body Fruit. He’s not stupid enough to help Xue Yuanshan break through to Martial Venerable, only for Xue Yuanshan to later kill him and become a hero among the Human Race.

Li Yunfei cursed angrily, "This beast is completely heartless!"
